Chapter 920： Return of the wanderer

Chapter 920 The Return of the Wanderer

The Li family courtyard is much busier than usual because dusk is approaching.

Sister-in-law Liu went to Liu Yang's yard during the day. When she came back, she drove her younger son to play with the twins, stars and crescent moon, and then took Mrs. Li to thank her constantly.

“Auntie, you didn’t go to see it! The yard is really well repaired and neat, even the wooden utensils are all ready.

“This time it really cost the eldest man a lot of money. I’m afraid it will cost two to three hundred taels of silver to organize everything inside and outside the courtyard!”

Mrs. Li glared at her angrily and said with a smile: "After so many years, although our two families have different surnames, we have become a family for a long time. Zhensheng is the uncle and repairs a yard for his nephew who is getting married. It’s worth your while!

“Besides, Liu Yang and Jiayi will take root here in the future and they will be the support of our family. We can rest assured that we can give them a good home.”

Sister-in-law Liu nodded repeatedly, feeling warm and happy.

"What my aunt said is that from now on Liu Yang will be here, he has a house and a wife, so I don't have to worry about it. I just hope that he will be successful and help the family more."

“From now on, I’ll keep my waiter by my side. Whether it’s studying or doing business, as long as he can support us and our family in old age and be a filial piety.”

Zhao Yuru brought Wenjuan into the house. Hearing this, she smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Liu is right to think so. There are so many children, and it is impossible to keep them all close by."

“Look at me giving birth to these two, Jiaxi has been naughty since she was a child, and disappeared as soon as she grew up. Fortunately, Jiahuan got married early and gave me a grandson.”

Having said that, she pulled Wenjuan to sit down and added, "I was delayed this time when I came out. Otherwise, maybe I can have another granddaughter at the end of this year."

Everyone laughed, making Wenjuan blush.

At this time, Li Zhensheng came back from outside with Jiayi, Liu Yang, and Brother Cat.

Mrs. Li was very happy and called her son to come and talk.

There is a lot of business in Quanzhou, and he has to arrange his nephew's wedding recently. Li Zhensheng is very busy. It is really rare to get home before dark.

“Boss, are you almost ready to arrange things outside?”

"It's almost done, mother, don't worry about it. Just waiting for the new granddaughter-in-law to come in!" Li Zhensheng said and laughed, with an inexplicable joy in his expression, which looked very strange.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but slapped her son and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, kid? Is he picking up money outside?"

Hearing this, Liu Yang, Jiayi, and Brother Mao all laughed.

Zhao Yuru was attentive and noticed that their eyes always turned to the door, so she looked over.

Standing at the door was a tall and thin young man, wearing gray coarse cloth trousers and wearing a bamboo hat to cover half of his face. He looked slightly familiar.

“Brother, is this the steward of the shop?”

Zhao Yuru was curious and asked. Before Li Zhensheng could answer, the young man raised his head, revealing a bronze face and a mouthful of white teeth...

“Hi...Hi brother!” Zhao Yuru screamed, rushed over to hug the young man, and burst into tears.

Orange Mrs. Li and others were startled and didn't know what happened.

Until the young man took off his bamboo hat and revealed a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar to everyone, the room immediately exploded.

"Brother Xi, it's Brother Xi!" Mrs. Li rushed up and hugged Jia Xi's other arm, her tears welling up like spring water. "You brat, you still know how to come back! You're so worried about grandma, Finally back, back!"

Tao Hongying was leading people to prepare meals in the kitchen. When she heard a commotion in the house, she ran in with a kitchen knife in her hand.

As soon as she saw Brother Xi, she threw the kitchen knife and rushed towards him, asking like crazy, "Brother Xi, where is Brother An? Why didn't Brother An come back?"

Everyone shut up because of these words.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Jia Xi, fearing that he would tell some bad news, and their hearts almost rose to their throats!

Fortunately, Jiaxi did not delay for a moment and said: "An Ge'er is safe and sound. He is waiting for me to find out the news at sea and send him back. He is back!" "Woo, thank God! An Ge'er is back too, woo. Oh, they're all back!" Tao Hongying sat down on the ground with her legs weak and burst into tears.

How can a mother not care about her son?

It has been almost three years, and she misses her son all the time, but because she is afraid that the old lady will get angry, she cannot show it at all and can only wipe her tears behind her back.

Now that she finally knew her son was safe and sound, she could no longer hold back and cried out all her sadness.

Zhao Yuru understood her mood very well and wanted to give her some advice. In the end, the two sisters hugged each other and cried together.

Grandma Chang, Xia Qing and others who came from Suijintan knew what was going on, but the slaves who were bought locally in the front yard did not understand the situation.

Hearing the noise in the backyard, everyone was so surprised that they dropped their hands and asked what was going on.

Brother Cat's eyes were still red, so he quickly came to comfort him and had the door closed again.

Finally, he arranged for Zheng Qi to lead people to guard the hanging flower gate at the second entrance before he felt relieved.

For a time, only my family was left in the backyard.

Jiaxi was pulled by Mrs. Li to sit next to her and talked about their experiences after leaving home.

Going to sea is just two words, but in reality it contains too many dangers.

Even if you are fully prepared, there is still no way to avoid all unexpected situations.

Jiaxi and Jiaan followed the people from the Foreign Affairs Department, a total of 300 people, on three large ships to go to sea, and secretly visited various maritime neighboring countries, hoping to quietly investigate the national strength of the neighboring countries.

Unexpectedly, a month after going to sea, they encountered a storm. Only one of the three large ships was left and ran aground on the coast of a small country.

They repaired in the small country for half a year before continuing their voyage, passing through seven or eight countries, and finally returned to Quanzhou.

They were worried that the time would be too long, the information would be interrupted, and there would be any changes in Tianwu, so Jia'an and his fleet stopped on an island five or six hundred miles away, while Jiaxi came back first to investigate.

After hearing that everything in Tianwu was as usual, he found his shop at home and happened to meet his uncle...

As the years go by, not only time passes, but also inevitable growth.

The young boy who was naughty and out-of-the-box before has experienced the baptism of a long voyage. Now he is darker, thinner and taller, but he is also mature and stable.

Jiaxi was surrounded by his family members and chatted freely, talking about the wonders of the sea or the customs and customs of foreign countries, which made the family members laugh from time to time.

Old Mrs. Li felt sorry for her grandson and kept calling for dinner.

Soon, the food was served, and Jia Xi immediately turned into a glutton, eating and drinking so much that he wished he had eight hands.

He murmured while eating, "Wow, finally we can eat the food at home again! An Ge'er and I were almost starved to death outside, and our mouths were watering even in our dreams!"

“Slow down, eat slowly! You’ve gone home, you can eat as much as you want in the future!” Mrs. Li has been picking up vegetables for her grandson.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were also busy serving rice and soup.

As for Li Zhensheng, Jiayi, Liu Yang, and Mao Geer, they can only take care of themselves...

As soon as they finished eating, Li Zhensheng said to the old lady, "Mom, I will take the boys to the study to look at the charts and find out where An Geer and the others are, and then send someone to pick them up. Don't worry."
