After a while, brothers Li Yi and Li Yu thought something had happened at home, so they hurriedly closed the school and returned home.
After learning Huo Xi's identity, the two brothers were filled with emotion. Thinking of the girl from the Xinrou tribe, they also felt sad in their hearts.
"How did you find it?" Li Yi asked.
This is not Xunyang's hometown, but her wife's hometown. After the uncle's death, the family took refuge with his father-in-law and moved to Huzhou. Very few people knew that they made their home here.
Huo Xi smiled at him: "I received a letter from my grandfather. The letter said that he had contacted my uncle not long ago and told me your address, so I looked for it."
After hearing this, Li Shiwu let out a long sigh and expressed some emotion.
"It is difficult to travel in and out of Sichuan and Sichuan. Our family has been searching for several years. Although we know that they are in Shangyong, we don't know which town or township they settled in. When I asked the old people in the past, most of them were secretive. Until this year
Only then did I learn their specific address.”
Huo Xi nodded: "I wanted to find out about them before, but there was no way. It wasn't until this year that I asked someone to find them."
Wu held her hand and felt very sad: "You have endured so much at such a young age. It's all because of us adults. Now that we know that you and your brother are both healthy, we feel relieved.
I'm half-hearted. It's all thanks to your adoptive parents who took good care of you."
"We didn't do anything. Thanks to these two children, they brought us a lot of fun." Yang looked at Huo Xi with eyes full of love.
Mrs. Wu couldn't help but nodded her head when she saw it.
"If my sister doesn't want to accept the gifts from my parents, she should accept the gifts from my two brothers. On behalf of our poor sister, I would like to thank my sister for her great kindness."
Yang received another great gift from Li Yi and Li Yu, and was so panicked that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Mrs. Wu then said to Mrs. Yang: "You can bear it. Now we are a family. You can call us uncle and aunt, as my two sons are also siblings."
Then he told his younger son: "Go to the pier behind the village and invite your brother-in-law to come over. He will help your brother-in-law guard the boat at the pier."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Mrs. Wu then asked her eldest grandson Li Sheng, who had returned from the school, to lead his two younger siblings to call their mother home. Then she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and Mrs. Yang followed her.
Huo Xi and Li Shiwu and his son were left talking in the hall.
After hearing what Huo Xi had experienced over the years, both father and son were stunned.
The child escaped from the mansion and did not run out. He actually stayed near the capital. Not only that, he also went to the capital to fish and sell, and started doing business in the capital.
Did you open the shop to Hangzhou and Jiaxing next door?
How old is this child this year?
The father and son looked at her blankly.
Huo Xi had a bit of embarrassment on her face: "I don't even have time to look at the shops in Jiaxing, Hangzhou. Only my big shopkeeper is running back and forth. I have no shortage of people to take over the work, but I am very short of people to take care of the shopkeepers. Now
The sea ban has been lifted again, and the emperor wants to build the city of Beiping. I have some ideas, but I have no one to help me. My grandfather asked the messenger about me and asked me to find my uncle."
Li Shiwu looked at her steadily and couldn't help sighing.
"Our Li family has always been a family of scholars, and there has never been anyone who is very good at business. Even your father's family is a military general, and they don't have that kind of talent. I never thought that you, a child, would be a groping
Something happened."
Poor this kid, if nothing happened to his grandfather's family, he wouldn't have to show his face and work hard to make a living.
Huo Xi smiled bitterly: "Then the house said to the outside world that Nian'er was not born, and Nian'er's name would not be recorded in the Zhang family's genealogy. I am unwilling to do so. It's not worth it for my mother. I always want to do something.
I just want to earn more money and use the money to open up channels in the future to seek justice for Nian'er."
When Li Shiwu heard this, tears filled his eyes.
Nodding: "That's how it should be. Your mother is the first wife of Zhang Fu, and your brother is the first wife. You can't just be wiped out by them. My Li family doesn't agree. Don't worry, my uncle will help you."
Huo Xi choked with tears and nodded: "Thank you so much, uncle."
"What are you talking about heretics to my uncle? Don't worry, we are here. Although your grandfather's students, disciples, relatives and relatives have avoided us in recent years, there are always some people who think of your grandfather's good deeds. Uncle
I will help you contact some people to help you.”
Huo Xi hesitated: "My identity?"
"Don't worry, I won't tell you your identity. I'll just say that your grandfather called them for help. I won't reveal the relationship between you and your grandfather."
"Thank you, uncle. Nian'er is still young now and doesn't have the ability to protect himself. I don't want to see anything happen to him."
"Uncle understands. Don't worry, uncle will make arrangements for you."
After talking for a while, Huo Erhuai was also brought in by a villager. The family talked to him enthusiastically and thanked him for his great kindness. Huo Erhuai was so frightened that he could not sit still.
Soon, Li Shiwu's two daughters-in-law also led their three children into the house.
Li Shiwu and his wife did not mention Huo Xi's identity, only that he was a very close old friend in the capital. After Mr. Yao and Mr. Zhou said hello, they asked Mr. Yang to talk.
Huo Xi's family had a lively lunch at Li's house.
In the afternoon, Li Shiwu and his wife took their two grandchildren on the Huo family's boat and took them around Nanxun.
Li Yin and Li Yi didn't have much chance to go around with the boat. They walked back and forth on the boat, clinging to the edge of the boat and watching the excitement on both sides of the strait. They were very happy.
Hearing that Huo Erhuai also bought mulberry fields in Nanxun, Li Shiwu led Huo Xi and others over to have a look. When they saw that they had signed a contract with Sannong, he reassured Huo Xi that his family would look after these fields for Huo Xi.
.
Huo Xi felt grateful.
Follow him around. Almost every family in Nanxun grows mulberry and raises silkworms. Every family is very rich by selling silk every year.
When the family is rich, they are willing to send their children to study in book schools. Along the way, I see many book schools and hear the sound of many book boys reading loudly.
"After your grandfather's accident, your uncle Yi's position in Beijing was no longer guaranteed. We didn't want to return to our hometown, so we went to Yi'er's in-laws and opened a book school in Yaojiaba... Your uncle Yi's reputation as a candidate is still there.
It works very well, and many people send their children to school every year.”
"My school is small and can't accommodate too many people. In recent years, I have been able to live a comfortable life with the school. I only care about your grandfather's family... Fortunately, we have contacted him now. I helped your grandfather to send him home back then.
I have some domestic servants, but some of them are still needed, I will help you find them."
"Thank you, uncle."
Huo Xi stayed at Li's house for a few days and also went to Jiaxing next door to see his shop.
Seeing that the shopkeeper and his waiters were doing well, Huo Xi asked Huo Erhuai to encourage them and gave them some silver rewards. Both the shopkeeper and the waiters happily thanked them and said they would look after the shop attentively.
Li Shiwu was very pleased to see Huo Xi's behavior. He went home and discussed it with his two sons.
