Unwilling

Shopkeeper Li loved Lu Xiaosi very much, so it would be best if he could support him in his studies so that he could gain fame.

Even if this child fails to obtain academic status, with Lu Xiaosi's intelligence, as long as he can stay with him and educate him personally, even if he cannot inherit the Li family's business in the future, at least Xiaosi's intelligence will be grateful to the Li family for their kindness to him.

You can't be a son-in-law, but it's not bad to be a son-in-law.

When the time comes, he will leave his eldest daughter at home and find an honest and kind child to marry him. He believes that this little son-in-law can definitely help the eldest son-in-law to establish a family, even if the eldest son-in-law can only keep his own business, as long as Lu Xiaosi is willing to help, Li

Home won't be any worse.

"Uncle Li, Xiaosi doesn't want to."

Shopkeeper Li was stunned when he heard this. This answer was something he had never expected at all.

She is actually unwilling. Could it be that the daughter of his Li family is not worthy of a boy from a fisherman's family?

The child in front of him had bright eyes as clear as water, as if he could reflect a person's shadow, which made Shopkeeper Li's heart skip a beat.

He quickly reviewed what he had said before to see if there was any mistake in his words.

Could it be because he wanted Xiaosi to be his son-in-law before, which hurt the child's heart?

"Xiaosi, can you tell Uncle Li why you don't want to?"

Lu Sheige sat up straight, and his crisp tone was childlike: "Xiaosi doesn't know what he will be like when he grows up, whether it will be good or bad. Now Uncle Li gives Xiaosi and the Li family

My sister has decided to get married, and if Xiaosi does nothing in the future, it won't be a delay for the Li family's sister."

Shopkeeper Li was just about to retort when he heard Xiaosi continue, "Although I am young, I also know what it means to be well-matched. If you are not well-matched, it will make you a good match. Uncle Li likes Xiaosi, and Xiaosi is very happy, and thanks Li

Uncle's appreciation is just that Xiaosi cannot agree to this marriage."

The boy in the corner, wearing a washed white linen short coat with piercing eyes, said something that Shopkeeper Li could not refute.

The reason why he came and dared to ask Lu Xiaosi to come to his house to be his son-in-law was not because the Lu family was far inferior to his.

This child is transparent, and his meaning is clear. If he is not from the right family, even if he gets married, it may not be a good match. Even if Xiaosi can succeed with his support in the future, so what. In front of his wife's family, he will always be

That poor boy from a fishing family relied on his Li family to make a comeback. Even in the eyes of his wife's family, he is what he is today because of his Li family.

As for what he has paid for it, no one will care!

"Xiaosi, it's my uncle who is thinking the wrong way! Uncle, I apologize to you." Shopkeeper Li was quite flexible, and he actually apologized to Lu Xiaosi.

Lu Quan was so panicked that he stopped him: "Shopkeeper Li, I can't bear it. This will shorten the child's life."

Shopkeeper Li sighed deeply, feeling bitter but helpless: "Originally, I thought about this simply and didn't think about it for Xiaosi."

He was still about to say something when he heard Xiao Qing's voice coming from outside: "Xiao Si, tea is ready."

When he heard his sister calling outside, Lu Sheige got up and went out to bring hot water to make tea.

"Uncle, please drink tea."

The tea Xiaoqing brews is very ordinary wild mugwort tea.

The color of the tea is clear and translucent, and the hot air carries a special smell that only comes from wild mugwort.

Wait for the tea to cool down a little, then take a sip of the hot tea. It will be bitter at first and then sweet, and you will immediately feel that the heat is gone.

People on the boat rarely want to sell tea. Those who are more particular will boil a large pot of boiling water and let it cool down to drink at any time in the summer. Those who are not so particular will drink raw water for their children.

There was no land or well for the people on the boat, so the water fetched from the river could be drunk after precipitating it with alum, and the water was also used for cooking.

Mrs. Qiu is a careful person. Every day at home, she boils boiling water and lets it cool for the adults and children to drink.

Ever since Xiao Si came, not only did the family have to use boiled water for drinking, but they also had to use boiled water for cooking.

As for the water used at home, she did not allow Qiu to use it directly from the river. Instead, she specifically asked Lu Quan to dig a fairly deep shallow well beside the river embankment.

Now, most of the food from the households in Ye dock is water from this well.

It is no longer like before, with people drinking water from the river here, washing clothes and vegetables there, and those ignorant children standing beside the boat and peeing in the water.

"This tea is good. The last time I came here to drink it, I wanted to ask Mr. Lu where he got this good tea."

Shopkeeper Li took a sip and exclaimed, turning around the slightly embarrassing situation: "Drink it in one sip and it will clear away the heat and relieve the heat."

"This is wormwood."

Lu Quan didn't think the tea soaked in wild polenta was very delicious, but shopkeeper Li praised it and found it very useful to him.

"They were picked by two children, Xiaosi and Xiaoyu. They talk about improving eyesight, nourishing the liver, anti-inflammation, antipyretic, black hair, detoxification..."

He couldn't remember too many of them, so he could only point to the two big bags on the cabin wall to show Shopkeeper Li.

"It's all there, a few kids dug it up and dried it."

What Huanghualang, Ye Peng, Ma Langtou...

It was originally picked to be eaten, but later it became too much to finish, so the children dried it in the sun and said it could be made into tea.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but become curious: "Does this wild vegetable have such benefits?"

"How did I know this? It was all brought back by children."

Lu Quan's words were unclear, but there was a very satisfied smile on his face: "We have to make a fuss to make us all drink, and it won't work if we don't drink. If shopkeeper Li likes it, he can take some back home and dry them at home."

Not much."

Shopkeeper Li was not polite: "Okay, then I'll be disrespectful."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Sheige who was standing aside: "Xiaosi, tell me, how did you know that this wild polenta has these effects?"

Lu Xiangge opened his big eyes and said with a bit of naivety, "I heard it from the doctor in the medical clinic."

This is not a lie, right?

Shopkeeper Li raised his eyebrows: "Xie's Pharmacy?"

Xie's Pharmacy is the only pharmacy in town, and Dr. Xie and his son have a good reputation, so it's not surprising that he said it.

"no,"

Lu Quan hurriedly took over the conversation: "My brother-in-law turned out to be an escort, and he lived in the escort agency. There is a private school next door to the escort agency, and there is a restaurant and drugstore at the alley. I probably heard about this kid from the drugstore.

I just have a good brain, I learned a little here, memorized a little there, but I didn’t learn the good ones, and I learned a lot in a mess.”

"Oh, it turns out that your uncle is actually a bodyguard."

Shopkeeper Li glanced at Lu Xiaosi, who was sitting beside him, and finally understood why the Lu family wanted to raise their son at his uncle's house.

My uncle is a bodyguard, so life will definitely be easier than on the ship. You can learn a few moves from your uncle. Even if you are not in good health and cannot learn martial arts, you can at least keep fit.

It was said that Lu Xiaosi was sent to his uncle's house to be raised because of his frailty, but it seemed that Lu Xiaosi was stronger than his twin sister.

There are pharmacies, private schools and restaurants around the Escort Bureau. This child is already smart and has been nurtured since childhood. No wonder the Lu family can make several long fish dishes.

I'm afraid this kid didn't learn it by listening to the wall every day!
