After everyone heard what Shao Ji said, they were all sighing.
This is exactly the same as when the Li family hoped that Huo Xi's mother in the capital would contact them.
Seeing her grandparents looking towards her, Huo Xi said to Shao Ji and his old wife: "Don't worry, when I return to the capital, I will visit you in person. I will ask Aunt Shao to write to you when the time comes.
Help me send it out."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Mr. Shao Zhuang held Mr. Ma's hand and said, "I just want to know if she is doing well and if she is still alive. There is no news at all. We, the old couple, dare not close our eyes."
Ma feels the same way.
At that time, she was looking forward to getting news from Rou'er, just like her. She patted her hand and said, "Don't worry. I will ask for you. Just take good care of your health. Maybe we will be reunited one day in the future."
Then he glanced at Huo Xi and Nian'er, didn't they just see their two grandchildren now?
Shao Ji was very happy: "I will go back and write a letter in the evening and ask my grandson to take it to Dian Sheng tomorrow morning. Now we are living a good life, so I hope she will live a good life and not worry about us. In the early years, it was quite difficult.
I can’t go on, but now that your family is taking care of me, my wife and granddaughter are making velvet flowers and doing embroidery with your family, and they can also get some monthly subsidies. Let her not think about us."
Huo Xi nodded in agreement. It would be okay if there had been no contact, but we had contacted him a few years ago, and it would be bad if we suddenly lost contact.
But she didn't say anything, she only comforted them with words.
After saying a few words, the Shao family was about to leave. Li Shimian and others couldn't stay. Shao Ji waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go. If we don't leave, it will be dark, and we will have to light a lamp and waste wax."
The couple walked up the mountain path supported by their grandchildren.
Huo Xi and Huo Nian also followed Li Shimian and others to see them off. Seeing the old couple stooped and walking slowly, the eyes of the siblings were sore.
"Sister, can't you really bring your grandparents to the capital to live with us?" Huo Nian tugged on Huo Xi's clothes and asked quietly.
"No. But if you learn your skills well, if there is a chance in the future, we can help my grandfather and the others escape their crimes. Maybe they won't have to stay here and can be with us."
Huo Nian nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, Nian'er must study hard!" He wanted to make meritorious deeds and help his grandfather and others get offended.
The two siblings thought they were speaking quietly, but in fact Li Dianzang, Cui and others all heard it. They were all filled with emotion.
The next day, Li Dianshou and others returned from the service. Not only did they bring back Shao Ji's letter, they also brought a bag of letters. They were all sent by people in the exile to their relatives in Beijing. In addition to the letters, there were also
Many items.
Li Dianshou felt a little embarrassed: "Sister Ning, I don't know if uncle collected so much in one go. Will it bring you trouble?"
Miao scolded him: "Of course it's troublesome! Sister Ning and Nian'er walked for two months before they came to us. There were mountain roads and waterways along the way, and there were bandits and bandits blocking the way. Didn't you do this to their sister?
Why is my brother inviting trouble?"
Cui and others also felt that it was a troublesome thing. Not only was it troublesome to carry all these things, but they also had to search for people when they arrived in the capital. It was also troublesome to bring letters and objects.
However, everyone is a sinner in exile. They are looking forward to contacting their relatives at home. If they refuse to do so, they will feel uneasy.
Huo Xi motioned to the two girls to take it over, and smiled: "It's okay, uncle, it's easy to do. If you can help them, it will be a great merit."
"Okay, this will put your uncle at ease." Li Dianshou felt quite comforted.
We are all sinners and were exiled here. We were all officials in the same court in the past. His family is fortunate to have Sister Ning taking care of her. They have lived a good life these years and the whole family is healthy. Seeing others still struggling, he
I feel bad too.
After receiving the letter, Huo Xi looked at Li Shimian: "If my grandfather planted those seeds and got results, he could share some with the exiles to plant together. Since they all have relatives by marriage in Beijing, one more family can help them move around."
, things will have a better chance of winning."
Li Shimian nodded happily: "Sister Ning, don't worry, grandpa knows."
The next day, Li Dianshou and other men did not have to go to work, and it was a rare day for the younger generations of the family to get together. Huo Xi and Huo Nian followed three cousins and two cousins to chop wood and pick mushrooms in the forest.
There were so many people that after a while, a big pile of firewood was chopped and several big baskets of mushrooms were picked up. Everyone sat on the ground and talked together.
"Sister Ning, are you and Nian'er leaving?" After Li Xi finished speaking, Li Yi also looked at Huo Xi with a look of reluctance.
They were naughty when they were young, and they were about the same age as Huo Xi. They took Huo Xi and his two younger sisters to play wildly together. The cousins had always been close to each other. When they grew up, seeing each other again seemed like a world apart.
Huo Xi felt sour and smiled at them: "Well, I'll be leaving in two days. You guys have to be good. I'll come see you again in the future."
"When?" Li Yi asked persistently.
Li Zhi glared at him: "Do you think this is from the capital to Tangquan Town? Thousands of miles of mountain roads and waterways, and you can get there just by opening and closing your mouth?"
Li Yi lowered his head sadly.
Huo Xi sat next to him and could see his red eyes. She also felt uncomfortable in her heart. Shangyong was too far away and she didn't know when she would see him again.
"Third cousin, don't worry. My sister can't come, but I will come to see you often in the future! I am a man and I have learned kung fu. I am not afraid!" Huo Nian puffed out his chest and promised to several cousins.
Mingjin and Mingyue sat next to him, one on the left and the other on the right. They loved this little cousin so much that they held his hand: "Okay, Nian'er, please remember that if you have a chance in the future,
Come and see us.”
"Yeah, Nian'er will definitely come to see you, so don't worry, eldest cousin and second cousin!" He nodded fiercely.
Nian'er made jokes, and the atmosphere was not that sad. The brothers and sisters chatted and laughed happily. Nian'er suddenly had so many cousins, and he was very happy, and he was happy every day.
On the day of farewell, their grandmother and two aunts prepared a lot of things for them, all of which were local products. They also brought some clothes made for their siblings, as well as mushrooms dried at home.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Grandma, aunt, why do you bring so much? Let's keep it at home to eat." Huo Xi declined hurriedly.
"There are too many. We can't put them in the carriage. I'll ask your uncle and cousin to tie them to the roof of the carriage." Ma said as he asked everyone to carry their things onto the carriage.
"Take it. I can't bring anything else at home, only these local things." Sister Ning brought so many things, and as elders, they didn't even have a gift in return. Li Shimian's eyes were red,
He pulled Huo Nian and wouldn't let go.
"Grandpa, don't be sad. When Nian'er grows up, he will come to see you again." Huo Nian raised his hand to wipe Li Shimian's tears.
"Hey, good. Grandpa is waiting for us Nian'er to come and see him."
Li Shimian responded, but he was very sad in his heart. He didn't know when he would see him again and whether he would live to see his two grandchildren again.
When Li Shimian was sad, he made Ma's tears come out. He hugged Huo Xi and Nian'er and cried, "My son really killed my grandmother..."
Huo Nian also burst into tears: "Grandma, don't be sad. Nian'er will come to see you soon and will write to you often."
"Nian'er, salute my grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt." Huo Xi pulled Huo Nian with tears in her eyes and knelt down to say goodbye to everyone.
Huo Nian plopped down and knelt down towards Li Shimian and others. Ma Shi, Li Shimian and others did not react. He helped his sister and brother up, hugged them and cried again.
Farewell and farewell, one journey after another.
The carriage drove away slowly. The two siblings opened the curtain and saw their uncle, aunt, and cousins following the carriage to see them off. Ma lay in Li Shimian's arms and watched them go away with tears.
