Chapter 201: Li Jiang Stays
The little Ji Miaomiao is very cute, with round and watery eyes like grapes.
Several boys liked their sister very much and gathered around Ji Miaomiao to watch her eat.
Mrs. Ji didn't stop her at first, everyone was eating their own food.
But as they ate, the boys began to become restless, and secretly reached out to scratch the soles of Ji Miaomiao's feet.
Ji Miaomiao subconsciously shrank her feet and snorted twice.
The adults didn't pay attention and thought it was a normal child's moaning and continued to feed him.
However, the boys got even more serious and secretly tickled the soles of Ji Miaomiao's feet.
When Ji Miaomiao saw her brothers scratching the soles of her feet, she was angry and funny for a moment.
"Itchy." She couldn't bear it any longer, and her soft voice sounded.
Attracted by Ji Miaomiao's voice, Mrs. Ji saw what her grandchildren were doing, and she immediately said with a downcast face:
"If you want to eat, give me something good to eat. If anyone bullies your sister again, you are not allowed to eat."
The boys suddenly said "oh" like eggplants whipped by frost and started to eat the meat.
Doctor Liao was very surprised. According to his understanding of farmers, don't they all favor boys over girls?
Why is it that the Ji family has turned the other way, treating their son who is rare to ordinary people very ordinary, but on the contrary, they are doting on the only daughter in the family.
Thinking of this, Doctor Liao couldn't help laughing again.
Every day, what I say tells me the answer.
This is the only girl.
"It would be great if the goats were still there. We could also give the children some goat milk to drink. Now, it's great. They must have fallen into Niutou Village. I'll give them a goat for free."
Seeing the happy faces of the children of the Ji family, Wang Goudan felt envious and longing for them.
What he looks forward to most is to marry a wife soon and have several children. He has no father or mother, so he just looks forward to having a family.
Now I look at the children of the Ji family who also like it very much. Seeing them eating meat dryly, I can't help but sigh.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Ji also looked stunned.
Yes, they brought the ewes down the mountain before, but now there are no sheep around. They must be in the hands of the people in Niutou Village.
"It's just a sheep. We can't take it with us in the car. There are so many people with one sheep. No matter who wants it, it won't solve the problem."
Li Jiang was quite open-minded about this: "Maybe they will fight over the ownership of that sheep, and we won't lose either."
If you want to raise sheep, you must give them water, otherwise the sheep will die of thirst.
Sheep can be killed and eaten as meat, but the mutton smell is very strong, and it is not delicious when cooked.
When everyone thought about it carefully, it was indeed true, and they no longer struggled with it at the moment.
It was already half a quarter of an hour after they had finished eating. In order to reach their destination quickly, everyone did not delay and immediately packed up and set off after eating.
They didn't have anyone to drag them down today, they walked very quickly on the road, and they were basically pulled by bullock carts, so it didn't take much effort.
The fork in the road was faster than they expected. When it was almost noon, they finally arrived at the junction of Jiangnan and Jiang'an mentioned in Li Jiangkou.
Looking at the two roads, Li Jiang jumped off the bullock cart, and everyone also got off.
Li Jiang is preparing to pack his luggage.
"Brother Jiang, are you really planning to leave alone?" Wang Goudan looked at Li Jiang with some worry.
There are more people to take care of, not to mention there are so many people here.
If Li Jiang walked the Jiang'an road alone, he would have to rely on himself for everything, and there wouldn't even be anyone with whom he could discuss matters.
"Yes, Li Jiang, why don't we go to Jiangnan together." Ji Liangqing also patted Li Jiang on the shoulder, trying to persuade him to go to Jiangnan together.
Li Jiang is a very capable person, which can be seen from his behavior.
Not just in terms of hunting in the mountains, but in many places.
If Li Jiang could follow them, it would only be good for them and not harmful.
On the contrary, if Li Jiang walks this road alone, the chance of safety is very small.
"Yes, Xiao Jiang, just come with us." Li Jiang is a mature man, it would be the icing on the cake if he comes along, Mrs. Ji is not confused.
Of course, she was not entirely thinking about herself, but of course she also had plans for Li Jiang.
Li Jiang's expression began to hesitate slowly.
He wanted to return to his hometown in Jiang'an because he thought that taking him in would not be a long-term solution. Although the Ji family seemed to have a strong family, they had already fled, and who could tell what would happen in the future.
Brother Ji, who had been silent at this time, seemed to understand his inner thoughts and comforted him:
"Our family is planning to go to Jiangnan to do business. You can come with us and help us when the time comes."
This sentence was like a good medicine. Li Jiang, who was originally hesitant, immediately raised his eyes and looked at everyone.
When he saw everyone looking at him with expectant smiles, Li Jiang secretly made up his mind.
He got in the car and showed his first long-lost smile: "Then let's go."
The kids had noticed that Li Jiang was about to leave, and they had been standing at the bottom silently.
But I feel a little unhappy anyway.
After all, children love fun, and now that Li Jiang is leaving, it means that there is one less uncle.
The more men there are in this era, the more secure they feel. This is a truth that even children understand.
Now when he heard that Li Jiang said he couldn't leave, the children were jumping on the ground and cheering. This pure and simple joy made Li Jiang's eyes warm.
Dr. Liao also stroked his beard and smiled before getting in the car.
There is no need to separate now. Although the bullock cart is still crowded, everyone is very happy. The few little guys are the mood regulators of everyone. They have been chattering in the carriage, and laughter can be heard from time to time.
Almost all the people in the carriage were women, children and the elderly. Three of the five grown men were sitting in the driving seat, and two men were looking closely ahead at the connection between the carriage and the driving seat.
The sounds coming from behind made their hearts warm, and they also understood that they must always be alert to the dangers around them.
They kept looking around, fearing that there might be some danger somewhere.
I watched all the way and listened in all directions, but fortunately there were no mistakes.
They had a relatively simple lunch, all eating dry food. When Mrs. Ji picked up the kettle in the corner, she felt the heavy weight in it, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.
She knew her granddaughter would fill these kettles.
When Wang Goudan took the full kettle, he looked at Mrs. Ji with some confusion.
Where on earth could there be so much water?
But he was obviously a smart man. Looking at the unclear smile on Mrs. Ji's face, he finally drank the water in silence with his brothers.
Everyone knows that the Ji family has a plan.
But they don't want to speculate on what the Ji family can do, since they don't need enough water anyway.
Thanks to today's success, Mrs. Ji and others have always believed that the rest of the journey will basically go smoothly.
But they didn't expect that the next day they would encounter a big event that almost changed everyone's fate.
