In the cabin, Lu Sheige was competing with Lu Xiaowu in climbing.

Climbing on all fours, crawling with both arms on the ground and using both legs, crawling with one arm in front...

The cabin is not big, but because there are few things inside, it is very spacious. It is enough for two children, one old and one small, to have fun in it.

The two of them were having a good time, when the gauze curtain was lifted, and Lu Quan and shopkeeper Li walked in.

Shopkeeper Li looked at the two brothers who were in exactly the same posture, crawling on the ground like two big frogs. His originally depressed mood seemed to have relaxed a lot in an instant, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you two brothers doing? Are you learning toad jumping?"

Lu Xiangge didn't feel ashamed. He turned over and sat up and explained openly: "I'm teaching Xiao Wu how to crawl. Uncle Li, come in and sit down. It's hot outside."

"Can't Xiao Wu know how to walk?"

Shopkeeper Li took off his shoes, got on the reed mat, sat down cross-legged, and asked curiously: "Do you want to learn how to crawl?"

Isn’t it something people are born with?

"Of course you have to learn," Lu Xiuge said, pointing to Lu Xiaowu who was still struggling to crawl on the ground. "If he crawls well, his limbs will be coordinated and his body will be strong. In the future, he will be able to swim better than ordinary people."

"You talk nonsense every day."

Lu Quan patted Xiaosi's head gently, bent down to pick up Lu Xiaowu who was on the ground, and handed it to Lu Xiaosi, "Send Xiaowu to your mother. Dad will talk to your Uncle Li."

"Hey, I'll go."

Lu Xiangge happily took over Lu Xiaowu and ran out of the cabin with the grunting Xiaowu in his arms.

She didn't know what Shopkeeper Li was doing, but she knew that Shopkeeper Li didn't seem to want her to hear him talking to her father.

When he walked to the door of the cabin, Lu Sheige looked back and frowned when he saw Shopkeeper Li looking at the small cabin calmly.

But she saw that when shopkeeper Li entered the door just now, his brows were furrowed.

It was as if there was something embarrassing that made it difficult for him to speak.

What happened that made shopkeeper Li, who dared to tell her about the upcoming attack by the Hongying Army, avoid talking to her father alone?

Why does she feel that shopkeeper Li’s visit doesn’t mean anything good?

Could it be that the Hongying Army will attack soon without waiting for the autumn harvest?

No, if this was the case, Shopkeeper Li would not avoid her.

So, what exactly is going on?

Seeing Lu Xiaoqing boiling water in front of the shack, Lu Xiangge made a wild guess that he was proposing to marry his eldest sister.

That's not right. Shopkeeper Li's family is all daughter-in-law, they have no sons, and there are no relatives here, so who can we marry them to?

That can only be related to her.

Passing by Lu Xiaoqing, Lu Sheige specifically raised his head and asked: "Sister, are you making tea?"

"Um."

Lu Xiaoqing raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and pushed back Lu Xiaowu, who was desperately trying to get her to hug her, "Hurry up and send the shed to Mom. The sun is strong outside, so don't let your bald skin shine."

"Sister."

Lu Xiuge hugged Lu Xiaowu tightly and reminded him in a low voice, "Pay attention when you go in to deliver tea later and see what shopkeeper Li and dad say."

"ah?"

Lu Xiaoqing suspected that he heard wrongly, and looked at Lu Xiaosi with some disbelief, "No, not big, okay."

When she was anxious, her stuttering problem started again.

Seeing that she was so honest, Lu Sheige also stopped trying to pry. Forget it, Lu Quan and his wife usually wouldn't hide anything from her anyway.

Mrs. Qiu took Lu Xiaowu from Lu Sheige's arms and immediately asked Lu Xiaoqing to make tea.

Lu Xiaoqing held the teapot that had just been boiled and asked in a low voice: "Mom, do you still want to use the wild wormwood from last time?"

Mrs. Qiu opened her mouth in embarrassment. She was still thinking about which of the nearby boats could have broken tea leaves. Then she heard Lu Xiange say: "Isn't that wild wormwood pretty good? Shopkeeper Li praised it last time when he came. It's just that wild wormwood."

That’s fine.”

Mrs. Qiu wanted to refute, but she couldn't think of anyone on board who would buy tea, so she had to give up.

Just make a wild punt, it's better than a bowl of hot water with nothing on it.

Although her family said they now had spare money, they still lived frugally. They only had enough food to eat and bought new clothes. They would never buy things like tea that should not be eaten or drunk.

In the cabin, shopkeeper Li chatted with Lu Quan for a few words before turning to the purpose of his visit: "I came here today to ask if your family is willing to let your mistress follow me to Yangzhou."

"Xiao Si is going to Yangzhou with you?" Lu Quan was dumbfounded, why did Xiao Si go to Yangzhou with shopkeeper Li?

"Yes, you also know that I will leave at the end of the month, and I just want Xiao Si to follow me to Yangzhou."

Lu Quan murmured and was about to open his mouth when Shopkeeper Li raised his hand to indicate that he still had something to say.

"I think your son is smart, but you also know that no matter how smart a child is, he still needs to be nurtured. He should go to school and learn from capable people, so that he can stand taller.

Go further. Do you know what I mean?”

Lu Quan nodded, then hurriedly shook his head.

He didn't understand what Shopkeeper Li meant. Xiao Si was his son, so how could he go to Yangzhou with Shopkeeper Li?

Shopkeeper Li glanced at Lu Quan, who was fidgeting, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "I am very fond of your fourth child."

"This kid, Xiaosi, is a good one."

Lu Quan didn't know whether it was hot or stuffy. The sweat on his head was falling like raindrops. He rubbed the corners of his clothes hard with his big hands like cattail fans and murmured, not even knowing what he was saying.

"Well, it's just because he is a good person that I really want to be good to my child so that he can have a good future."

Shopkeeper Li did not hide anything and spoke out his plan, "I only have four daughters in my family. Over the years, I have always wanted to have a son who can carry on the family line. But my mother-in-law was injured when she gave birth to the fourth girl. Doctor

Speaking of being injured, it will be difficult to have children..."

This is shopkeeper Li's scar. He sat here and showed his scar to Lu Quan, which made Lu Quan even more uneasy.

"Son, my son will... he will."

Lu Quan stuttered a bit, and shopkeeper Li's words made him feel the same. He is an honest person, and he really feels that there will always be a son, and it is not a lack of words to comfort him. Just like him, after having three daughters, he also has

son.

During this period, several children died in infancy. He and Qiu also felt despair, thinking that they might not have any sons in this life.

Who knew, they actually had Xiao Wu.

"It would be nice to have it, but I wouldn't think of forcing it if you don't have it."

As Shopkeeper Li said, he sat up straight and said seriously: "As for me, I came here this time to arrange a marriage with your family. My youngest daughter is the same age as your fourth child, and she is also a smart child. If you are willing, little girl

Fourth, come with us to Yangzhou. You and your family can also go to Yangzhou. Then you can buy a house, build a house, buy land, and do some small business in Yangzhou, including Primary 4’s studies and academic examinations. All these will be paid for by my Li family. If you

It's okay if you don't want to go to Yangzhou, I can give you a sum of money..."

Please give me a monthly vote and a recommendation vote. Thank you all little cuties. I love you, okay!
