Bao Xia's family followed Huo Xi and Yang Fu back to Jiangjun Mountain.
Huo Erhuai came to pick them up. On the boat, he heard about their family's origins, which made Huo Erhuai shed tears.
"Don't worry, stay at my house. Our family is all kind-hearted people. As long as you are loyal and don't talk too much about my family's affairs, we are a family and will live together in the future. Whatever we eat and drink will be yours. From now on, Bao Kang also has several of my children to look after him."
"Thank you, sir. None of my family are talkative. They will serve the master's family loyally."
When she returned to Zhuangzi and saw Yang and Huo Nian, Yang also shed tears.
Huo Nian also looked around Bao Kang curiously. After a while, after spending time with his sister and uncle, he took Bao Kang with him and they happily went fishing in the village.
Until then, Bao Xia and Zuo Shi were completely relieved. They had to obey their master's orders. They were worried at first, but they didn't feel relieved until they saw this family.
Ji Laozhuang also got news of the escort. Although he didn't know Bao Xia, after knowing that it was sent by the master, he also came to say hello and asked his old wife and daughter-in-law to send a lot of vegetables and meat. A lot of bedding and other supplies were also given.
Bao Xia followed Huo Xi from then on.
With the addition of Bao Xia's family, Huo Xi's sugar training career has accelerated a lot.
As expected, the Bosha family were not talkative. They only worked in the shed and occasionally wandered around the village without talking much.
Bao Xia and Bao Kang, father and son, really had a lot of strength. With them, there was less and less sucrose in the warehouse, and more and more white sugar was produced.
After five days of this, all the white sugar was produced, and more than 9,000 kilograms of white sugar were produced from ten thousand kilograms of sucrose. Two stones were full of black residue and were really useless.
This result made Huo Xi very satisfied.
Now after a trip to the city, various shops were planning to go overseas. She could only look back and sigh because she had little money. She was really unwilling to do so. She just wanted to get rid of the sugar so that she could get some money.
I also want to see if I can do this sugar business again.
I couldn't wait any longer. I discussed with Yang Fu for two days and planned how to get rid of this batch of sugar.
Huo Xi originally wanted to explore the way to Ningbo Port, but after studying the waterway map, he first needed to enter the South Canal from the Yangtze River and follow the South Canal to Hangzhou.
After arriving in Hangzhou, take the Hangzhou-Ningbo Canal to reach Ningbo. This operation will take at least ten days if the wind is favorable. However, it will take several days to reach Songjiang Port from the Yangtze River all the way.
Finally decided to go to Songjiang Port.
This time I asked my father to follow me and bring his own boat, so that he could move easily. I also called a boat from my own shop to come over and load eighty stones of sugar onto the two boats.
The waiter didn't bring much with him, he only brought two boatmen, and called Bo Xia's family on board. We could also cover ourselves up a bit.
Huo Nian was so happy to be able to go out again.
It was the first time for Bao Xia and his family to travel by boat, and they were excited and nervous at the same time. After only a few days in the Huo family, they were able to gain the trust of their master and follow them to do big things. Bao Xia was grateful in his heart and just wanted to help his master. things done well.
After bringing enough food and water, the two boats set off.
The first time Bao Xia and Zuo took a boat ride, they were shipsick for two days and couldn't stop vomiting. Fortunately, they took medicine and lay down for two days, and they got used to it.
On the other hand, Bao Kang adapted well and had no symptoms of seasickness. Although he only had the IQ of a six- or seven-year-old, he had no problems playing with Nian'er. He kept calling "brother, brother" all day long and followed Huo Nian's back.
Bao Xia and Zuo Shi taught him several times to call him Master, but he refused to listen and only called him younger brother.
Huo Erhuai, Yang and others didn't care either. They felt sorry for Bao Kang and liked him very much. Bao Kang had a simple temper and could sense who was good to him, so he called him "Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo" happily.
I ran around and fished on the boat with Huo Nian. When it got dark, I stopped the boat and lit the bow lantern. Then I went to put shrimp and crab pots with Huo Nian and set the night net. I was so happy that I could only hear his laughter along the way.
He was mentally retarded, but his talent was extremely good. After Huo Nian and Yang Fu taught him for two days, he was able to swim in the water. He could swim a long way in one breath, hold his breath for a long time, and even fished and caught fish, like
He was born into a fisherman's family, which surprised everyone.
Seeing that her son was happy, Ms. Zuo pulled Ms. Yang to wipe her tears.
"He was very smart and sensible when he was a child. When he was a child, his father went out to fight. He knew that I was hardworking 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 grandparents would only let him drink stove ash water and would not lend him money.
I took him to see a doctor, but he ended up like this... I really hate it..."
It's not that sad to be born stupid, but no matter how old his son is, he is still smart, well-behaved and sensible. Whenever Zuo thinks about it, his eyes are filled with hatred.
Yang felt very sorry for her after hearing this.
She gave birth to several children but none of them survived, but Zuo gave birth to one, but ended up like this. They felt the same way, and the two got along very well.
Yang comforted: "The good thing is that it's not too bad. Although Xiaokang looks like a child of a few years ago, he can understand what others are saying and can take care of himself such as dressing, eating and bathing. You and your wife don't have to worry about it.
Fortunately among misfortunes, we will see what happens in the future. Isn't it good that he is so happy now? Our two families will live together in the future, and my three children will take care of him in the future."
Zuo took her hand and said, "It's so pitiful that I met such a good master like you. In the early years, I took him out to beg for a living, beg for food, and take him everywhere to see a doctor. I suffered a lot and looked at my face.
, I have endured all the hardships in my life... Ever since his father found us, mother and son, all this good luck has come."
Zuo was filled with emotions.
Seeing that this family is all pure and kind people, Bao Xia and his wife have truly integrated into the Huo family. They actually feel that they are more comfortable than the master arranged for them to live in Zhuangzi.
Maybe the Huo family didn't take them seriously.
Bao Xia and his wife were grateful. Zuo helped Yang cook on the boat and mend the fishing nets. Bao Xia took Bao Kang to learn rowing.
Both father and son were very capable. After only one day of learning, they were able to row the boat in a decent manner. Huo Erhuai was pleasantly surprised and felt quite relaxed.
While Bao Kang was rowing, Huo Nian sat on the stern of the boat and talked to him. Maybe he felt sorry for his brother, or maybe because he had an IQ of only a few years old, which made him feel like a peer. The two of them loved staying together more and more.
Bao Kang followed Huo Nian to fish for a few days, and landed crab pots and shrimp pots. He was happier than anyone else when he caught the fish. Eating his catch was so delicious that he couldn't close his mouth.
When he saw that everyone was enjoying the meal, they all praised him, and he was even more enthusiastic about catching fish.
Maybe God is fair. Whatever he takes from a person, he will compensate him. Within a few days, Bao Kang's water quality was better than that of Huo Nian and Yang Fu.
After a fierce plunge, he didn't come out, and everyone ran out of patience. When they were about to go into the water to look for him, he came out of the water again and laughed at everyone.
Seeing that their son was happy, Bao Xia and Zuo were also happy, and they decided to follow in the footsteps of the Huo family and serve the Huo family loyally.
The boat sailed for several days and soon reached the boundary of Songjiang Prefecture.
When approaching the waters of Songjiang Prefecture, Huo Xi decided to let the big ship of Guangfengshui bring most of the cargo to the shore. She, Yang Fu, Dad and Bao Xia took a small amount of cargo to the nearby waters to look for foreign merchants.
