Chapter 715： Prepare an extra escape route for your family!

Chapter 715: Prepare an extra escape route for the family!

Today is the New Year's Eve. It is my family's custom to eat dumplings.

But it is difficult to reconcile the opinions of others, as there are many children and grandchildren, and their preferences are also different.

Mrs. Li was so happy that she took Grandma He and Shui Yun to prepare four kinds of fillings.

Sauerkraut and pork, leeks and eggs, pork and chopped green onions, beef and coriander!

Mrs. Wen was at home alone. She heard the excitement in the Li family and came over to help.

The old and young girls sat in a group on the kang and stood in a group on the ground. They were divided into two places to make dumplings.

When the sun turned to the west, Li Laosan and Li Laosi brought Li Zhensheng back, and even the Marquis and Li Yong followed behind on horseback.

Li Zhensheng kowtowed to his mother and spoke again, and he was going to ask Liu Yang to come over for dinner and talk about Liu Yang's stay in the south.

Orange Mrs. Li simply invited Liu Biaotou's family of three, two village elders, Hui Niang's mother and son, Uncle Zhao, and Divine Doctor Zhang to gather together.

Tao Hongying and Jia Huan also received the news that the restaurant closed early, so they went home to help and join in the fun.

On the way, they happened to meet Mr. Wen and Li Laoer again.

Now, the family is more complete.

Men want to drink, but they are not in a hurry to eat dumplings.

So, Jia Huan quickly stir-fried four vegetables. Tao Hongying cut a plate of donkey meat in sauce, tore up two roast chickens, added a fried peanut, and a spicy seafood platter.

After gathering a total of eight dishes, we held a banquet in the main room.

Young and old men were sitting around, Jiaren and Brother Li were at the bottom helping to keep the charcoal stove scalding the wine and pouring it.

As for the cat brother, he had already followed his sister and got into the stove to steal things.

Everyone asked about Li Zhensheng's experience of going south. Li Zhensheng briefly talked about it, and finally turned to Liu Biaotou and Li Laoer.

He thought carefully and said: "Jiayi and Liu Yang, we stayed in the south this time. It's a coincidence that I took the children out to sea to go fishing, originally to open their eyes.

“Unexpectedly, they encountered Japanese pirates chasing down the fishing boat. Jiayi and Liu Yang were very skilled and killed five or six Japanese pirates and saved many people.

“When the Hailan Army in charge of patrolling and guarding arrived, General Tang Jingtang valued Jiayi and Liu Yang very much, invited them to join the army many times, and directly made them captains.

“I inquired privately and found out that this Tang general was very brave, fair and very prestigious among the fishermen. In addition, Liu Yang and Jiayi were also tempted and begged me to stay.

"I went to see General Tang and temporarily asked the two boys to help in the Hailan army.

“I will come back this time to ask for your opinions before deciding whether the two children should stay in Hailan Army for a long time.”

Li Laoer and Liu Biaotou were both surprised when they heard this, and frowned in worry.

But thinking about it again, both of them sighed again.

Liu Biaotou said: "My boy Liu Yang has not been peaceful since he was a child. He is bold and afraid of others. I originally thought that he might want to eat from Jianghu.

"It was also because of this that I was afraid that he would have some evil deeds and the family would die out, so I gave birth to another child. Unexpectedly, instead of entering the rivers and lakes, he went to kill the Japanese pirates!"

“As parents, we naturally hope that he will live a safe and responsible life, but since we can’t stop him, we won’t stop him and let him do whatever he wants.

“In the final analysis, killing Japanese pirates and protecting the people of Tianwu is better than fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes!”

Li Laoer took a sip of wine and said, "I was originally worried about the way out for my family, but actually joining the army was the best choice. But our fourth son and Dayong both followed the Marquis in the northern expedition.

“If Jiayi and Liu Yang join the army again, they will be easily feared, and it will not be easy for the two children to stand out.

“Whether they have joined the Hailan Army now, my eldest brother originally planned to put down another root in Quanzhou to prepare an additional escape route for the family.

"From now on, Jiayi and Liu Yang will work there as errands. They will have someone to take care of the family business, and they will have a good future."

After saying that, he couldn't help but look towards the back room, worried that my mother would be thinking about her.

In the room, Mrs. Li stopped what she was doing as soon as she talked about her grandson. She knew in her heart that it was a good thing for Jiayi to have such an opportunity, and joining the army to kill Japanese pirates was to protect her family and country.

As a grandmother, I am always reluctant to let my children run so far and face danger...

"That's it, second brother, just write a letter to Jiayi. Let him do his job well and his family will support him. Just ask him to pay more attention to his safety."

Old Mrs. Li sighed and asked: "The family does not ask him to make any achievements, but only wants him to be safe and successful. It would be better if he could come back for a few days every year during the New Year."

Sister-in-law Liu was holding her youngest son, Fatty, in her arms, and her eyes were red when she thought about her eldest son.

If possible, she would not want her son to kill Japanese pirates.

But if parents love their children, they have far-reaching plans.

Her son likes this path and can find a good future. No matter how reluctant she is, she cannot stop him!

Mrs. Wen patted her hand and silently comforted her...

I don’t know when the good news came and I ran back to the house. After listening to it for a long time, I sighed in my heart.

From now on, the brothers will be far apart, and it will be extremely difficult for them to get together again.

Mr. Hou rubbed the little girl's soft hair and said after hearing that Li Laoer and Liu Biaotou decided to let the children go wild.

“The eldest son of General Tang Jingtang is now also in the Hailan Army. He has some friendship with me. Wait for me to write a letter and send it to the south together.

“Please ask the Tang family to take more care of Jiayi and Liu Yang from now on. It doesn’t matter how much support they have. As long as no one dares to take credit and frame them, the future of these two boys will be much smoother.”

Li Laoer and Liu Biaotou were both happy when they heard this, and quickly stood up to salute and thank them.

At this time, everyone was full of wine again, talking about Tianwu's internal and external troubles, and the situation of being attacked from both sides. It has become so obvious that it is impossible to deceive oneself and others now.

But in Xindu, most of the dignitaries are still drunk and singing every night, which really makes people want to sigh.

Jiaren and Brother Li sat at the door and listened quietly without interrupting.

Why children from aristocratic families are more likely to stand out than children from ordinary families? This is the difference.

Even if no one teaches you step by step, you can already learn a lot just by listening and seeing at such banquets, chatting, and interacting with relatives and friends...

On the second day, the good news is about to enter the city and go to the Marquis' Mansion, and the arrangements for each family's New Year's rites must begin.

Fortunately, I had already made a list before and the things I needed were clearly written down.

Now it's just a matter of following the list, preparing the fresh fruits, vegetables, and blooming potted flowers that she needs to supplement, and transporting them directly to the Marquis' Mansion.

Jiaren brought Brother Li and Brother Cat, and even dressed up for the family celebration, he also wanted to send New Year gifts to the family.

The Peng family over at the academy, Dean Zhou’s family, and Mr. Tang’s family must not be left behind.

But before that, Jiaren had to go to Jia's house, and then to Xing's house, accompanied by Jia Xu.

In this way, the Xing family couple can take a good look at his appearance and character.

Furthermore, even if outsiders are confused and curious, they won’t worry too much if Jia Xu is with them.

In case the marriage fails in the future, Wan'er's reputation will not be ruined.

It can be said to be quite thoughtful!

The family members were busy all morning and finally packed up all three carriages.

Seeing that the children got on the bus and went out to walk around and be busy, for a while, Mrs. Li and others felt a little uncomfortable.

Time flies so fast, the children seem to have suddenly grown up and are already able to go to the ceremony on behalf of the family...
