Mrs. Li pointed to the big boat with her little granddaughter, and said with a smile, "Your boat looks really big, and it must be spacious inside. If you don't mind, can you take us with you? We are on the same boat, and of course the goat milk is Let the two children drink together."

The eyes of Mr. Li and the others also brightened when they heard this, and they stepped forward to salute tacitly, "My lord, we are both strong enough to help with the work, and we know some kung fu, so we can help when encountering difficulties on the road. Stand up and resist."

Tao Hongying was also not to be outdone, and continued, "I can help with washing and cooking. My ancestors were imperial cooks. The food I cook is delicious and clean."

Even the boys from Jiaren and Jiayi yelled, "We can wipe the deck and run errands overnight."

The middle-aged steward didn't expect such a proposal from the Li family, but after thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible.They came out in a hurry this time, and they didn't bring enough people, otherwise the master wouldn't have only one nanny by his side.

It would be easier for him if the family were on board to help with the work.But he is just a manager, so he still has to go back and ask the master.

"Old sister, I have to go back and report to the master. The master is probably asleep right now, and it will be early tomorrow morning. I will send someone to give you an answer."

Of course Mrs. Li agreed a hundred times, and the middle-aged steward took the boy back to the boat.

The Li family all breathed a sigh of relief, looking at each other with joy.

Only Wu Cuihua, who was free, murmured, but she didn't dare to speak loudly under the cold eyes of Li's second son.

Mrs. Li told Mrs. Li to take good care of the sheep, then hugged Jiayin and sat in a daze.

This matter is related to the future fate of the Li family. If it is done, the whole family will not have to travel thousands of miles.In this chaotic world, if you settle down one day earlier, you can avoid more accidents and dangers.

Jiayin felt the trembling of grandma's palms, sighed inwardly, and turned her head to the side to look around. The rest of the Li family also had their eyes open in the night, and none of them could fall asleep.

The bonfire next to the donkey cart was swayed by the river wind, just like the current mood of the Li family. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, they are eager to catch it.

Jiayin stretched out her small hand to hold Mrs. Li's big hand, and called her out in a babbling voice.

"Is Fu girl hungry? Jiaren, squeeze the goat milk and boil it!" Mrs. Li hurriedly patted her granddaughter and called for help.

The Li family seemed to have been turned on by this voice, and they all got up and got busy, which diluted the anxiety just now.

The child's body can't last too long, Jiayin fell asleep again after drinking the goat's milk for a while.

When she woke up again, the sky was already slightly bright.

The Li family really didn't sleep all night, everyone's eyes were red, and they anxiously waited for the people on the boat to come.

When the sun completely jumped out of the ground, a servant finally jumped out of the big boat, trotting all the way to the Li family, "Our wife promised, you pack up your things and come aboard with me!"

Before the boy's words fell, the Li family members couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

The little servant brought not only good news, but also the hope for the Li family to survive.No longer have to eat and sleep in the open, no longer worry about it.

Even the always strong old lady Li turned her head away and wiped away her tears. Tao Hongying hugged her daughter and kissed again and again, Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru hugged each other and cried loudly.

Jia Xi and Jia An are bouncing around, venting their ecstasy.

Everyone's hearts hung in their hearts all night, and now they can finally return to their stomachs.

Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter from Tao Hongying's arms, pressed her little face, and said in a low voice, "It's my granddaughter who is blessed. She raised rations for herself and found a way for the whole family to survive!"

"Old lady, let's go quickly, how many people are watching, it will be troublesome if we delay." The servant couldn't help urging.

The Li family woke up and hurriedly got up.Li Lao Er was originally a bookkeeper, and the only donkey in the family was entrusted to him to sell.Although only half of the silver was taken, it went smoothly.

After such a short time, everyone also packed their luggage, and quickly followed the boy onto the boat under the envious eyes of other victims.

Last night, the middle-aged steward was waiting by the side of the boat. Seeing that the milk goat was carried onto the boat by Li Laosi first, he smiled and pointed at the boy.

"Your accommodation has been arranged, follow Wang Fu to pack your luggage."

The Li family all saluted and thanked, and the middle-aged manager said again, "My name is Wang Jian, you can call me Manager Wang in the future." After that, he turned to Mrs. Li, and said, "Old lady, our wife heard that your family My child is not yet full moon, so I told me to take the child to show her, you guys tidy it up, and let me go there.

Our wife is on the boat all day, and she is very bored. Just gossip with her, don't be nervous. "

How could Old Madam Li dare not agree, she took Tao Hongying to the cabin and changed into clean clothes, then hugged Jiayin, and followed Steward Wang to the room in front of the big ship.

"Ma'am, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family are here." Steward Wang knocked on the door lightly, and when he heard a reply from inside, he opened the door carefully and led Mrs. Li and the others in.

This big ship looks very grand and magnificent, but the rooms on the ship are more exquisitely decorated, with oily and high-quality pineapple wood tables and chairs, and carved window lattices pasted with flexible and snow-white cotton paper.

There is also an orange-yellow copper incense burner on the table. Curly thin smoke floats from the hole above, and the whole room is filled with a calming fragrance.

When had Mrs. Li seen such a scene, she was a little stunned by the sight of riches and honor, but it was only for a moment, she quickly suppressed her thoughts of looking around, and stood behind Guanshi Wang with a low eyebrow.

Tao Hongying also stood at the back holding Jiayin in a regular manner, her eyes fell on the floor half a meter in front of her toes, she was quiet and steady.

The woman sitting on the chair by the window looked to be in her thirties, she was wearing a light purple brocade dress, her jet-black hair was tied into a simple bun, and there was a delicate hairpin inlaid with gemstones on her head. With her snow-skinned red lips, one can see that she is a pampered and wealthy person.

The little girl she held in her arms was about half a year old, carved in pink and jade, with jet-black pupils moist and lively, wearing a crimson dress, she was also full of wealth.

The noble lady was very satisfied with the rules of old lady Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and when she looked at the swaddling clothes in their arms, her eyes softened three points.

She had no children in her early years, and she burned incense and worshiped Buddha everywhere in order to ask for a son, and did good deeds to accumulate merits. She only got a daughter when she was approaching [-], and now is the time when maternal love is overflowing.

So, as soon as Manager Wang said this morning, she agreed to allow the Li family to board the ship.After all, poor people value money very much.It is really rare for the Li family to give up gold and silver for the sake of their children.

"Sit down, don't be restrained."

Mrs. Sun raised her hand, motioning for Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law to sit down.

Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying thanked each other and only dared to sit in half of the chairs.Mrs. Li thought for a while, lowered her voice, but said sincerely, "Thank you Madam for allowing our family to take the boat, Madam can rest assured that our family will be safe and secure, will not cause trouble on board, and will try our best to repay Madam's kindness. "

What she said was true, Madam Sun felt at ease when she heard it, and wanted to talk, but she saw Jiayin stretching her neck as if she wanted to watch the excitement.The small face is fair and chubby, and it makes people feel happy just looking at it.
