Chapter 241 Situation
"I am Li Shiwu, who is looking for me?"
Li Shiwu took a closer look, and saw a couple and a boy standing on a boat that was not too small. They didn't know each other. Then he asked.
Huo Xi looked over at him, and it was indeed my uncle, he was standing there.
Years have passed, much older, but that's the man. Just like in memory. The eyes suddenly became sore and swollen.
Yang took a look at Huo Xi, saw people coming and going at the entrance of the village, and said: "Old man, we are from Beijing, we are old friends of your family. Can we come to your house to talk?"
As soon as Li Shiwu listened to the person from Beijing, he was taken aback, and looked at the family carefully, but he still didn't know him.
Then he said: "Yes, why not. I'll take you home right now."
"Okay. Old man, can our boat go there?"
"Can row and row, you can row along the river, there is a small pier behind the village, you can park your boat. I will lead you by the embankment."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
All the way, I followed Li Shiwu to the Yaojiaba river and rowed all the way to the back of the village. Seeing that there was indeed a small pier, Huo Erhuai threw a rope to the boat pole and tied the boat.
Li Shiwu stood on the shore carrying a basket of fish and shrimp, watching the mother and son get off the boat with a lot of things on their backs.
Wanted to dissuade him, but didn't know who the other party was and what he wanted, so he kept his mouth shut.
Seeing that Huo Erhuai was not moving on the boat, he asked, "Shall we go home together?"
Huo Erhuai said with a smile: "We usually take the boat as our home, and there are a lot of property on the boat, so I'll just guard it on the boat."
Li Shiwu wanted to ask someone to guard him, but the other party's property was too big to speak for a while, so he nodded and looked at the mother and son again.
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of speaking, they smiled and led the way, and in their minds, they dug out and recognized all the old people in Beijing.
His two grandchildren looked curious, and after taking a step, they turned to look at Yang Shi and Huo Xi.
Huo Xi had no impression of these two children, and only smiled at them. Yang Shi is a child-loving person, teasing the two children all the way.
Knows two of them, the older one is Li Yin, who is five years old, and the younger one is Li Yi, who is three years old, and there is an older brother at home.
"You have three grandchildren?"
"Yes, there is another older one, who is seven years old. He is studying in the Shushu with his father."
That Li Yin saw that Yang Shi and Huo Xi were both friendly, and became courageous: "It's a private school opened by my family." He looked proud.
"Really, how many students are there in your private school?"
"There are more than forty schoolchildren. In addition to my father and second uncle, I also invited a gentleman!"
"Wow, so powerful? Then your father raises people to teach these country urchins, but what is the blessing of these urchins."
After finishing speaking, Huo Xi smiled when he saw her standing upright with a proud expression on her face.
Li Shiwu looked back at Huo Xi, thinking in his heart, this family said they came from Beijing, but they also know that Yi'er is a Juren?
Huo Xi met his gaze and smiled at him: "Let's talk about it when we get home." He stopped asking questions.
Li Shiwu's house is on the outskirts of the village. He walked across the river behind the village and arrived soon.
"Come in quickly, the house is simple, don't blame the guests."
After speaking, he raised his legs and entered the yard, and then greeted Li Yin and Li Yi: "Go inside to see if your grandma is there? He said we have guests."
Li Yin nodded, and ran into the house while calling: "Grandma, grandma, there are guests at home!"
Soon Wu came out from the backyard with the two children: "A guest? Who is it?"
Yang looked at Huo Xi, Huo Xi put down his things, and saluted Li Shimian and Wu: "Granduncle, granduncle."
Li Shiwu was stunned, and Wu Shi was also stunned. He walked up to her, looked at her, and called them granduncles and grandparents? Is this a descendant of a daughter in the hometown?
"You come from your hometown, Xunyang? Who is your mother?"
Huo Xi shook his head, only looked at him and his wife, with tears in his eyes: "My mother, Li Xinrou."
Li Shiwu froze.
Mrs. Wu came back to her senses after a while, and with a cry, she came up and grabbed her shoulders, and looked carefully: "You, you are Sister Ning?"
Huo Xi burst into tears suddenly, choked up and nodded at her, speechless.
Wu groaned, hugged her tightly in her arms, and immediately burst into tears: "Sister Ning, my son, my poor son..."
Li Shiwu was sobbed by her, with tears in his eyes. He came over and touched Huo Xi's head, then raised his head and sighed.
"My son, how did you survive? Didn't the mansion say that you and your mother are gone? Our family even went to worship you, you, what are you doing?" Wu cried with tears all over his face.
Huo Xi came out of her arms, saw Yang standing aside in a daze, and pulled her over: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm afraid that you will be in danger."
Yang patted her head: "Mother understands, mother understands everything."
Seeing Li Shiwu and Wu looking at Yang, Huo Xi said to Li Shiwu and Wu: "My mother is not in the Zhuangzi. I found out that they were going to harm my brother and me, so I ran out of the Zhuangzi with my brother in my arms. Met my parents and was raised by them."
A simple sentence, endless sadness and helplessness.
Li Shiwu clenched his fists.
With a sad face, Mrs. Wu came up to hold Mrs. Yang's hand.
"I thank you on behalf of the child's grandparents. Without you, Sister Ning doesn't know what would happen. I thank you for your kindness on their behalf, and thank you for your great kindness on behalf of her mother under the nine springs."
Bending his knees to salute Yang Shi, Yang Shi held him tightly.
stopped Wu, but not Li Shiwu, and Yang received a big gift from him.
"You saved my poor niece's bloodline, and my Li family is deeply grateful for your kindness."
"Don't, don't do this, the little woman can't bear it." Yang was so frightened that she kept dodging.
"I can afford it, if it weren't for you, there would be no Sister Ning in the world." Mrs. Wu took Yang and thanked her again and again.
Li Shiwu asked Huo Xi again: "Didn't it mean that your brother was not born?"
"When my grandfather was exiled, my younger brother was born about ten days old." Huo Xi said lightly.
Li Shiwu gritted his teeth with hatred after hearing this: "It's hateful! The aristocratic family did such a dirty thing!"
"Damn it, these people take human life as a trifle! They can throw away their own flesh and blood at will!"
Ms. Wu also cursed a few more times with hatred. After the curse, she still couldn't understand her hatred, and wiped her tears: "Fortunately, you and your brother survived. How happy your grandfather was to hear."
After speaking, he took Huo Xi and Yang Shi to the main hall to talk.
Li Shiwu called his two grandsons: "Go, tell your father and second uncle that there is something at home, let them take half a day off from school, and come home quickly."
"Do you want to call mother back?"
Li Shiwu paused: "Call your father back first."
"Hey." Li Yin responded, and ran out of the house with her cousin.
