"I came just because I missed you." When Yang Fu saw Huo Xi, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red.
Although they were separated for less than a year, it seemed like they had been gone for a long time.
"Uncle..." Huo Xi's eyes were also red. She turned away and wiped her tears.
"Why are you crying? I'm not happy to see my uncle." Yang Fu raised his head and blinked a few times, then walked over and stroked her shoulder, silently comforting her.
Although they are uncles and nephews, they have been as close as brothers and sisters since childhood. Yang Fu plays the role of both brother and elder, protecting Huo Xi in everything, but more often, he listens to Huo Xi in everything and acts according to Huo Xi's words.
It's more like Huo Xi is the elder sister and he is the younger brother.
"You didn't tell me before you came." Huo Xi glared at him angrily.
"Don't I want to give you a surprise? Are you pregnant again? Oh, that's great. Why don't you tell your family."
Yang Fu grinned with joy, and suddenly felt that he had made the right decision to come with the boat. Xi'er was already pregnant, so there was no need to worry about it anymore.
"I wrote a letter, but I'm afraid you were on the road and didn't see it."
"Same. How many months has it been?"
"Four months."
"That's great. Where is my nephew and son-in-law? Why don't you stay with me?"
"It's at the guard station over the border. These days, there have been turbulences in neighboring foreign countries, so he went to the border to train troops."
"Then don't bother him. I'm going to stay here for a while and we'll have a chance to meet him."
After Yang Fu finished speaking, he looked at Huo Xi's belly again, feeling very good. "I already have three children, and two sons. You only have Xiao Yu'er, how lonely he is. Have more children,
It’s better to accompany him.”
"Okay." Huo Xi agreed with a smile. She hadn't seen her relatives at home for almost a year, so she was excited to see her uncle who she grew up with.
When the uncle and nephew met, they had endless things to say.
"Come and see what I've brought!"
Yang Fu started to pick up the baggage he had brought, "Xiao Yuer was very excited when he learned that my uncle and grandpa were coming to see you. He wanted to come with me. He cried when he knew that he couldn't come together.
It took a long time and I couldn’t coax her anymore.”
"Xiao Yu'er..." Huo Xi felt a little sad. She could imagine her son raising his neck and crying with red eyes...
"and after?"
"He didn't eat or sleep, so he sat on the doorstep and cried. This made the Duke of Guizhou very uncomfortable, and she cried with him. Later, the British government used the method to carry him around the racecourse a few times, but they didn't know what to say.
What, just coaxed him to get better. Then he started to pick up his good things and asked me to bring them to you. He also wrote you a thick letter and asked me to hand it over to you personally. "
It's a really thick letter, packed in a box.
Huo Xi couldn't wait to open it... After reading it, she couldn't help but laugh: "This kid wrote more than 20 pieces of paper, only a few dozen words." The big words were still black. She guessed for a long time.
.
There was another letter in the box written by Huo Nian. Xiao Yuer read it while letting Huo Nian ghostwrite it, which made Huo Xi wipe his tears again.
"I think Yu'er is better than Nian'er when he was a child. When Nian'er was a child, he was smart, but naughty and couldn't sit still very well. To write a big word, he had to run and jump to the bow and stern of the ship, but the little Yu'er was quite capable.
He is able to sit still, and even the Duke often praises him, saying that he is very stable at a young age. He is not afraid of getting tired when studying, and he never complains about pain when practicing martial arts."
Huo Xi felt a little proud and a little distressed after hearing this.
"When Nian'er was a child, his parents loved him, and we loved him too. He asked for everything he wanted. He had no worries, lived a simple life, and was very naughty. Although we loved Xiao Yu'er, his father did not
It’s not that I gave him everything he wanted, and I was strict with him. Now that we are no longer with him, we have to learn to grow up.”
She shed tears while talking. She turned her son into a left-behind child. Children whose parents are not around force themselves to be sensible and steady.
"Xi'er, don't cry. Everyone who has met Xiao Yu'er praises him for his eldest son's demeanor and the demeanor of a descendant. There are many people who love him. He usually doesn't have a day free. It's not because he was taken to the country by Nian'er.
In the palace, I am taken over by my sister, or taken over by his aunt to live in the palace for a few days, or I go to Zhuangzi with Nian'er to visit your grandparents, so I never have a day to spare."
Huo Xi laughed and said, "Yes, aunt also said that he was very happy during the day and was too busy to think of us."
Yang Fu nodded and smiled: "I have never seen such a sensible child. He is more sensible than his uncle when he was a child."
"I heard that my father sent Yi'er to be his companion?"
Yang Fu laughed and said, "It's just like what happened during the Chinese New Year. Yi'er often acted like a spoiled brat and bullied his elder brother and sister because he was younger at home. He never had any quiet time. But when I took him to play with Xiao Yu'er, he
He could sit still very well and listened to Yu'er's words. During the Chinese New Year, the British father-in-law found an enlightenment teacher for Yu'er. He was afraid that Yu'er would not be able to sit alone, so he asked me to send Yi'er to the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion for Yu'er.
We have become companions. Now there are Yi'er and Yanzhi beside Yu'er. The three of them are similar in age, so they can play together very well. Yi'er also follows him to learn literature and martial arts, and he seems to be better than his brother."
Yang Fu has three children. The eldest daughter Yang Yin is over eight years old this year, the eldest son Yang Ji is six years old, and the youngest son Yang Yi is a few months younger than Yu'er.
"Yu'er is fine now. Don't worry about him. He is sensible and sweet. The British Duke and the Duke of Guizhou held him in their hands and felt sorry for him. Come and see other things, see your parents.
Things prepared for you..."
Dragging a big baggage, "I heard that I'm coming to see you. Your father is away from home every day. He takes Bao Xiaxia and runs into the rivers every day, catching whitebait for you, getting you shrimps and crabs, and getting you
My mother dried fish in several sacks."
"Why so many?" Huo Xi's eyes turned red again.
"I still don't know you are pregnant. If I knew, I would have to count twice as much."
He took out the items in the bag one by one and showed them to her, "Look, your favorite crab butter, as well as all kinds of dried shrimps, dried fish... I know you like to eat salted fish and stewed pork belly, so I've got all the salted fish for you.
A lot."
"When will we finish eating this?" There were several big bags in front of me, all of which were fish catches.
"Save it and eat it slowly. There are many people in the house, so I'm afraid you won't have enough."
Yang Fu brought her most of the things on the boat, which were all kinds of food. Some were prepared by her father and Nian'er, some were prepared by her parents, and some were prepared by her aunt, grandparents and others. There were a lot of them.
Yang and the nanny made more than a dozen sets of clothes for her. "Your mother and your nanny made them by themselves. They say they are what you have been used to wearing since you were a child."
"Yeah." He pressed the corners of his eyes, and while cleaning up himself, he talked to Yang Fu about his life here...
Yang Fu was stunned: "So you had such a plan? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could bring more people and things?"
Yang Fu was a little annoyed. He received an urgent letter from Huo Xi, asking him to mobilize people to stock up. Knowing that she was planning on doing something, he didn't expect this to be the case.
"How dare Mr. Jun harm you! Don't be afraid, Xi'er, uncle will stay to help you! I'll write a letter to Shopkeeper Shen and ask him to send more people over!"
