Chapter 240 Looking for people
The letter from Shangyong was still sent by Jixiang Pharmacy.
Huo Xi knew that the other party was from Mu Yan, so she was much more at ease than last time.
Still a thick letter. Huo Xi was very happy, she knew that her grandfather and grandmother could understand the cryptic explanation in her letter.
The two aunts also made clothes and shoes for her and her younger brother. Huo Xi touched these clothes and almost shed tears.
Grandfather said that he inquired about her situation with the messenger, and knew that she had opened a shop to start a business, and also knew that she was short of people, so he said in the letter that he would give her away. Let her go to Huzhou to find someone.
That man Huo Xi knew.
is the younger brother of the grandfather. In the early years, there was a flood in my hometown, and my grandfather helped me, and the family was later resettled in my grandfather's farm.
He himself became a steward in his grandfather's house, and his two sons also received support from their grandfather to study in Beijing. Later, his eldest son passed the Juren examination and got a good job.
The grandfather was implicated in the first place, and the crime was not as good as that of the nine clans. This grandfather did not expect to bring his family back to his hometown, but went to Huzhou instead.
He was the steward of his grandfather's family back then, and he was very familiar with all the general affairs and human relations of his grandfather's family. Now my grandfather told her to go to him, saying he could help find some people.
He must be able to contact the old people in his grandfather's family.
This great-uncle, Huo Xi often saw him when he was a child.
Huo Xi thought about his appearance in memory, and then read the letter from his grandfather, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.
After so many years, she carried it on her back alone and endured it. She didn't expect that one day, someone said that she would help you share one or two, and she couldn't help but want to cry.
Back on the boat, and talk with Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai, the husband and wife are also deeply moved.
"Fortunately, your grandfather's family still misses you. Parents are useless, and they can't help you."
Huo Xi moved over and hugged her: "Mother, the grandfather's family said they would set up longevity tablets for you. If it weren't for you and father, there would be no me and Nian'er."
Mr. Yang wiped her eyes and patted her lightly: "Hurry up and reply to your grandfather, but you must stop their thoughts. This is to shorten the life of your father and me. Back then..."
Seeing Huo Nian blinking his eyes and looking at her in a daze, Yang stopped talking.
patted his little head: "Nian'er and your sister are parents' treasures."
Huo Nian immediately approached Yang with a smile on his face: "Yes, I am the treasure of my parents. My parents are also Nian'er's treasure."
Huo Xi laughed when he saw him clasping his hands on his chest and making a weird face. This brat, after reading the book, his mouth becomes sweeter, and he knows how to make people happy.
Huo Erhuai also smiled happily, keeping his eyes on Huo Nian.
After a while, she turned to Huo Xi and said, "Father will accompany you."
Huo Xi nodded, she discussed it with Yang Fu, Shen Qianzhong is not in Beijing now, and he can't leave, Huo Xi is not at ease going to Huzhou alone, so it is good to let Huo Erhuai accompany him.
Yang saw that it was not convenient for only his father and daughter to go there, so he said, "Mother, go with you."
Huo Nian jumped up: "Then Nianer also goes!"
Huo Xi glared at him: "Where are you going? No longer going to school?"
"I asked my husband for leave."
"No." Huo Xi resolutely refused.
Yang's heart was soft, but after taking a look at Huo Xi and thinking about his studies, she ruthlessly refused.
Coax him: "Huzhou is very close, and my parents will be back in a few days. Then go to the school to pick up my children, okay?"
Pi Xiaozi rubbed and rubbed in Yang's arms, but he refused.
Huo Xi scolded him: "I just celebrated your birthday a few days ago. Didn't you say that you are a big child at the age of five? Do you want to study hard? How long has it been, and you will forget what you said?"
"I haven't forgotten!" Piboy turned his head and stared at her with big eyes.
"I haven't forgotten, then our Nian'er not only has a good memory, but also is a good boy. These days, we will stay in the city with uncle. After a few days, my sister and parents will come back and bring you good things from Huzhou."
Seeing that after a long time, his parents did not soften their hearts, so Huo Nian could only accept it aggrievedly. She didn't sleep alone at night, so she had to squeeze into the room between Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai and hug them to sleep.
Made Yang and Huo Erhuai extremely happy. I didn't sleep all night, so I just watched him.
The next day, the mother and daughter prepared a bunch of gifts and rowed to Huzhou.
The family rowed a boat from the Qinhuai River to the Yangtze River, and then from the Yangtze River to the South Canal section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. It took more than two days to arrive at Pingjiang, and then followed the old road of Ditang to the direction of Nanxun, Huzhou.
Nanxun Yaojiaba, Li Shiwu is playing at the entrance of the village with his five-year-old granddaughter Li Yin and three-year-old grandson Li Yi.
"Selling fish, fresh fish and shrimp, just picked up this morning. Cheap and not expensive..."
As soon as Li Shiwu heard that the fishing boat had arrived, he quickly stood up and walked towards the pond mouth with his two grandchildren.
"Are you bringing your grandson to buy fish again?" People who knew each other in the village greeted Li Shiwu.
"Hey, buy fish. Grandchildren love to eat." Li Shiwu responded, and walked towards the fishing boat with one hand.
Huo Erhuai was rocking the boat and following the fishing boat.
The river pond is not wide, so it is a bit difficult to pass two boats. In addition, the boat in front was stopped by the fisherman, so Huo Erhuai had no choice but to follow outside slowly.
He originally fished and sold fish, but he also wanted to see how the people here sell fish and see how much the fish is worth. So there is no rush to move forward.
Mr. Yang and Huo Xi also stood at the bow of the boat looking at the boat selling fish with great interest.
"Father, do you understand their dialect?"
Huo Erhuai shook his head: "I half understand, half don't understand, but the price of fish sold by fish sellers can be seen from the gestures."
"Father, is the fish he sells cheap?"
"It's about the same price as our capital. I think Nanxun is a rich place."
Yang nodded: "Isn't it rich? We came all the way and saw this family grows mulberry and raises silkworms. It saves a lot of silver by selling silk every year. It is several times more profitable than farming."
The three watched with relish, and saw that the fish seller had almost sold out the three big baskets of fish at the entrance of the village, and even sold out the shrimp and crabs. The business in only one village was so good.
Tsk tsk with emotion, people in Nanxun are rich.
The crowd dispersed, and the fishing boat was about to row away. Seeing that Huo Erhuai's road was blocked, the fishing boat politely said a few good words.
Mr. Yang asked him: "Yujia, we came from somewhere else, please ask, is this Yaojiaba?"
The man understood and nodded: "Yes, it is Yaojiaba. Are you looking for someone?"
Seeing that he understood, Mrs. Yang raised her voice and asked: "My old man knows that there is a family named Li in the village named Li Shiwu. Do you know where he lives?"
Li Shiwu bought Yu, and was very happy. He took his grandchildren home and prepared to make lunch while he was fresh, when he suddenly heard someone mention his name, so he hurriedly turned his head to look.
