Liu Jing exempted himself from the greetings from the Zhengdan County officials. This was the second consecutive year that he had done so. The county officials had been busy for a whole year and rarely had a chance to rest. Liu Jing could not bear the thought of them traveling back and forth during the Zhengdan Festival. Not only that, He gave the county officials three extra days of leave.
And he also took Deng Yuan and Liu Qi out of the official residence early and returned home to celebrate the festival.
"Ayang, Ayang... call me, gu... gu..." Liu Rao hugged Liu Qi and sat next to a brazier, his small nose almost touching his nephew's delicate face.
Liu Qi said "Ah" several times, stretched out his strong little hands, and wanted to push Liu Rao's face away. However, as a baby, how could he be as strong as an adult? Liu Rao firmly grasped his nephew's dancing penis with his hands. The little hand continued to induce: "Ayang, call me quickly, aunt... aunt..."
Liu Qi stared at her big black and white eyes and said vaguely: "Gu...Gu..."
Liu Rao was overjoyed and couldn't help but show off to everyone: "Haha, Ayang called me."
According to the calculation of fictitious years, Liu Qi is already two years old, but in fact he was less than ten months old. He can only say "father", "mother" and "aunt" accurately.
As for why Liu Qi called him aunt, it was naturally Liu Rao who went to his official residence to visit his nephew every two days. Liu Qun had grown up under her clutches since he was a child, and now it was Liu Qi's turn.
Liu Qun looked on with envy. He also wanted Ayang to call him "brother", but it was a pity that Ayang couldn't say this word yet.
Deng Yuan and Lai Ci sat side by side on a couch, talking about the Salesian Residence. Occasionally their eyes glanced at Liu Rao, and they couldn't help but smile. When they married into the Liu family, one was sixteen and the other was seventeen, and the sister-in-law She is already fifteen years old, but she is still as innocent and romantic as a child. No wonder Liu Jing is not in a hurry to marry her off.
In the past two years, refugees from central and northern Changsha have been moving southward to avoid disaster and have poured into Lingxian County. Naturally, there are many orphans among them. Today, there are more than 400 orphans being cared for in the Salesian Home.
The Salesian Residence has its own farmland, so it does not need to worry about food. In addition, donations from the people of Linxian County can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, so the Salesian Residence can survive even without relying on the county temple.
Liu Jing was sitting alone in the study room, holding a letter in his hand with a thoughtful expression on his face. This letter was sent by Liu Zhu. The letter said that Zhang Xian was seriously ill and his death was approaching.
This news should be true, because historically Zhang Xian died this year, the fifth year of Jian'an (AD 200). When Liu Jing in his previous life was dying, he reread "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", and the last memory fragment was "Zhang Xian's Zhi Zhi Tong Jian" die."
In a blink of an eye, it has been almost five years...
Zhang Yi was far inferior to Zhang Xian in terms of prestige, ability, and skills. History also proved that he could not defend Linxiang.
Next, it was his turn to face the pressure from the Jingzhou Army.
To be honest, Liu Jing's strength has greatly increased compared to two years ago. Both his navy and infantry have reached the size of ten thousand people.
Two years ago, Liu Jing could only take shelter under Zhang Xian's wing and rely on ambushes to repel the Jingzhou navy. Now, Liu Jing believes that he has the confidence to fight against the Jingzhou army.
Liu Jing folded the letter and put it in his arms, got up and left the study room and entered the hall.
Liu Jing glanced at everyone in the hall, everyone looked happy, except his stepmother Zhang, who was sitting on the couch, feeling depressed.
The reason was naturally related to Liu He. Since Lingxian County was not far from Leiyang, she had not seen her son for more than half a year, so she wanted to recruit Liu He to go home to spend Zhengdan, but Liu He used it as an excuse to "concentrate on studies." I politely declined.
Stepmother Zhang missed her son even more during the holidays, so she sighed like this.
Liu Jing shook his head secretly and went straight to Liu Rao and Liu Qun. He couldn't help but touched the horns on Liu Qun's head. Unknowingly, his nephew was also ten years old and asked: "How is it, Tiger?"
Boss, did Ayang call you?"
"No." Liu Qun's fair and beautiful little face was filled with sorrow, and he asked the doubts in his heart: "Uncle, tell me, I spend as much time with Ayang as I do with my little aunt, why did he call me 'aunt' so early on?"
', but you won't call me 'brother'?"
Liu Jing randomly found a reason, "Maybe it's because your little aunt often hugs him."
Liu Qun nodded as if it was serious and said, "That's it." Then his little face showed a look of frustration: "I also want to hug Ayang, but I can't grab my little aunt."
Liu Rao couldn't help but said angrily: "Hutou, you're talking nonsense. It's obvious that Ayang likes me. He doesn't cry when I hug him, but you cry when you hug him."
Just as Liu Qun was about to open his mouth to retort, he saw his little aunt's almond-shaped eyes widening and immediately stopped.
Liu Jing smiled heartily. He was always so relaxed in front of his family.
…………
At the beginning of the new year, Liu Jing began to visit the elders of the clan. Now that the Liu family of Longqiu can find a place to live and work in peace and contentment in this chaotic world, it is all thanks to Liu Jing's contribution. The elders of the clan naturally praise and encourage them.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Jing went to visit Liu Yao's house with generous gifts. Liu Jing had done this every year over the years. After all, life-saving grace was like rebirth, and he couldn't thank him enough.
However, as soon as Liu Jing arrived at Liu Yao's house, he found that Liu Yao's expression was particularly solemn and sad.
Liu Jing's heart suddenly thumped and he asked urgently: "Why is Wenlang's face so bitter? Could it be that Wenshi's condition has worsened again?"
In mid-December last year, Liu Ji, Liu Gao's younger brother, suddenly felt severe heart pain and fell to the ground while working in the chief register's office.
Liu Jing hurriedly called for Dr. Cao to check. After the doctor diagnosed it, he said it was angina pectoris. There was almost no cure for this disease. He could only prescribe a few decoctions. He was a dead horse and a living doctor. Can he avoid death?
Only God knows. Fortunately, after taking a few medicines, although there was no cure, it greatly alleviated Liu Ji's pain. Liu Jing gave him a period of leave and let him rest at home.
Liu Gao sighed: "Last night Wen Shi had another heart attack. He fainted for a while and was so breathless. My mother and I stayed by the bed all night. It wasn't until dawn that Wen Shi woke up and turned the corner."
Liu Jing sighed in his heart. Diseases involving the heart cannot be treated by classical medicine. He only hoped that what Liu Ji was suffering from was not a fatal disease. But from what Liu Jing said, I am afraid the situation is not optimistic.
Although Liu Ji cannot be called a genius in the world, he can be regarded as a man of talent, especially his calm and dedicated personality. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, he can at least be a two-thousand-stone prefect.
"Don't be anxious about Wen Lang, Wen Shi is by no means short-lived." Liu Jing comforted Liu Yao.
Liu Yao sighed and said, "I'm borrowing Zhongda's auspicious words."
Liu Jing followed Liu Yao in. Liu's mother was still guarding Liu Ji's bed, so the two of them walked through the hall and went straight to Liu Ji's bedroom.
"Zhongda is here..." Mother Liu had not slept all day and night, and her appearance was somewhat haggard.
