Chapter 275 Loyal Servant
Bao Xia's family followed Huo Xi and Yang Fu back to Jiangjun Mountain.
Huo Erhuai came to pick them up. Hearing about their family's origins on the boat brought this man Huo Erhuai to tears.
"You can rest assured to stay at my house. Our family is a kind-hearted person. As long as you are loyal and don't talk about my family's affairs, we will be a family. We will live together in the future. If we have food and drink, we will have yours. In the future, Bao Kang also has some of my children to take care of him."
"Thank you, master. My family is not talkative, and I will work loyally for the master."
When they returned to Zhuangzi, they saw Yang Shi and Huo Nian, and Yang Shi also shed tears.
Huo Nian also looked around Bao Kang curiously. After a while, he finished clinging to his sister and uncle, and pulled Bao Kang, and the two happily went fishing in the village.
Until then, Bao Xia and Zuo finally let go of their hearts. The master's order had to be obeyed, and I was worried at first, but it was only when I saw this family that my heart was completely relieved.
Ji Laozhuang also got the news of Gansan's delivery. Although he didn't know Bao Xia, he came to say hello after knowing that it was sent by his master, and asked his wife and daughter-in-law to send some vegetables and meat. A lot of bedding and other things were also sent.
Bao Xia has been by Huo Xi's side ever since.
With the addition of Bao Xia's family, Huo Xi's sugar refining business has accelerated a lot.
And Bao Xia's family is really not talkative, they only work in the shed, and occasionally wander around the village without talking too much.
Bao Xia and Bao Kang, father and son, really put in a lot of effort. With them, the sucrose in the warehouse is less and less, and the white sugar produced is more and more.
After five days of this, all the white sugar has been refined, and more than 9,000 catties of white sugar have been refined out of ten thousand catties of sucrose, and two stones are black slag, which is really useless.
This result made Huo Xi very satisfied.
Now that she has gone to the city, all the companies are planning to go abroad. She can only sigh because of the lack of money, and she is really unwilling. I just want to get rid of the white sugar and get some money.
I also want to see if the sugar business can be done.
Some can't wait. Discussed with Yang Fu for two days, planning how to get rid of this batch of white sugar.
Huo Xi originally wanted to explore the way at Ningbo Port, but after studying the water route map, he first entered the South Canal from the Yangtze River and followed the South Canal to Hangzhou.
Arrive in Hangzhou and then take the Hangzhou-Ningbo Canal to Ningbo. This operation will take at least ten days if the wind is down. However, it will take several days to travel from the Yangtze River to Songjiang Port.
Finally decided to go to Songjiang Port.
This time, let dad follow along with his own boat, so that it is convenient to move. He also called a boat from his own shop and loaded eighty shi of white sugar onto the two boats.
The man didn't bring much, he only brought two boatmen, and he called the Baoxia family. My own people can also cover up.
Being able to go out again, Huo Nian was so happy.
As it was the first time for the Baoxia family to travel by boat, they were both excited and nervous. After only a few days at Huo's house, he was able to gain the trust of the master's family, and followed him to do great things. Bao Xia was grateful in his heart, and only wanted to do the master's affairs well.
Brought enough food and water, the two boats set off.
But Bao Kang adapted well and had no symptoms of seasickness. Although he is only six or seven years old in IQ, there is no obstacle in playing with Nian'er. He calls "brother, brother" all day long and follows Huo Nian's buttocks.
Bao Xia and Zuo Shi taught him several times to call him Young Master, but he just refused to listen, and only called him his younger brother.
Huo Erhuai, Yang Shi and others didn't care, they felt sorry for Bao Kang and liked him very much. Bao Kang has a simple personality, and he can feel who is kind to him the most, and he is called "Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo" happily.
Running on the boat with Huo Nian, fishing, stopped the boat when it was dark, lit the bow lights, and went with Huo Nian to put shrimp pots and crab pots, and set nets at night. We were very happy, and we could only hear his laughter along the way.
He is not mentally complete, but his talent is extremely good. Huo Nian and Yang Fucai taught him for two days, and he was able to swim in the water. A born fisherman surprised everyone.
Seeing his son happy, Zuo grabbed Yang and wiped away his tears.
"He was very smart and sensible when he was a child. His father went out to fight when he was a child. He knew I worked hard since he was a child, and he followed me to the fields at a young age. If he didn't have a fever later, his grandma would only let him drink ashes from the stove and refused to borrow money. I took him to see a doctor, how could he become like this...I really hate..."
It's not so sad to be born stupid, but the son is still smart, well-behaved and sensible. As long as Zuo thinks about it, his heart is still full of hatred.
Mr. Yang felt sorry for her when she heard this.
She gave birth to several children but did not keep them. Zuo gave birth to one, but she became like this. Feeling the same way, the two got along very well.
Yang comforted: "Fortunately, it's not bad after all. Although Xiaokang looks like a child of a few years old, he can understand other people's words, and can take care of himself. You don't need to worry about your husband and wife. Fortunately in misfortune. Let’s see what happens in the future. Isn’t it good that he is so happy now. In the future, our two families will live together, and my three children will take care of him in the future.”
Mrs. Zuo took her hand: "It's really pitiful, I met such a good master like you. In the early years, I took him outside to ask for a living, beg for food, and took him to see a doctor everywhere. I suffered so much and saw all the faces. , and suffered all the hardships of a lifetime...Since his father found our mother and son, this good luck has come."
Zuo's heart is full of emotions.
Seeing that this family is pure and kind people, Bao Xia and his wife have truly integrated into the Huo family. In my heart, I feel that they are more comfortable than the master arranged for them to live in Zhuangzi.
Maybe the Huo family didn't see them as human beings.
Bao Xia and his wife were grateful. Zuo helped Yang cook and mend fishing nets on the boat. Bao Xia took Bao Kang to learn how to row.
Both father and son have a lot of strength, and after only one day of learning, they can row the boat in style, which surprised Huo Erhuai and relieved him a lot.
Bao Kang was rowing, and Huo Nian was sitting in the stern talking to him. Maybe it was because he felt sorry for this brother, or maybe it was because his IQ was only a few years old, which made him feel like a peer, and the two loved staying together more and more.
Bao Kang followed Huo Nian to fish for a few days. He got a crab pot and a shrimp pot. He was happier than everyone else when he got the catch. He couldn't close his mouth when he ate his own catch.
Seeing that everyone had a good time eating, he praised him and was even more keen on catching fish.
Maybe God is fair, what is taken from someone, it will be compensated to him. In a few days, Bao Kang's water quality is better than that of Huo Nian and Yang Fu.
One plunged down, but he didn't see his head. Everyone ran out of patience. When they wanted to go into the water to look for him, he came out of the water again and laughed at everyone.
Seeing their son happy, Bao Xia and Zuo Shi were also happy, and decided to follow in the Huo family's footsteps and serve the Huo family faithfully.
The boat sailed for a few days, and soon arrived at the boundary of Songjiang Prefecture.
When approaching the waters of Songjiang Prefecture, Huo Xi decided to let the large ship of Guangfengshui bring most of the goods to dock, while she, Yang Fu, father and Bao Xia took a small amount of goods to the nearby waters to find foreign merchants.
