Mrs. Li and her granddaughter pointed at the big ship and said with a smile.
"Your boat looks really big, and it must be spacious inside. If you don't mind, can you give us a ride?
In the same boat, of course, two children can drink this goat's milk together."
Li Laoer waited. People's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they stepped forward to salute with great tacit understanding.
"Master, we all have strength and can help with the work. And we also know some boxing and kicking skills, so we can help to resist difficulties on the road."
Tao Hongying also refused to be outdone and continued.
"I can help with laundry and cooking. My ancestors had royal chefs, and the food I cook is delicious and clean."
Even the boys from Jiaren Jiayi shouted, "We can wipe the deck and run errands at night.
" Manager Nian didn't expect that the Li family would make such a proposal, but after thinking about it carefully, it wasn't impossible.
They came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring enough people, otherwise the master wouldn't have only one wet nurse by his side.
It would have been easier for him if the family had come on board to help with the work.
But he was just a steward, so he still had to go back and ask his master.
"Old sister, I have to go back and tell the master. The master is probably asleep at the moment. I'll have someone come and give you an answer tomorrow morning."
Of course, Mrs. Li totally agrees. She is middle-aged. The steward took the boy back to the ship.
The Li family members all breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at each other with a bit of joy.
Only Wu Cuihua, who had been freed, muttered, but she did not dare to speak loudly under Li Laoer's cold eyes.
Mrs. Li told Mr. Li to take good care of the sheep, and then she sat in a daze holding the good news in her arms.
This matter is related to the future destiny of the Li family. If it succeeds, their whole family will not have to travel thousands of miles.
In these troubled times, if we settle down a day earlier, we can avoid more accidents and dangers.
Jiayin felt the trembling in her grandma's palms, sighed inwardly, and turned her little head to look to the side.
In the night, everyone else in the Li family also had their eyes open, and no one could fall asleep.
The bonfire next to the donkey cart was swaying by the river wind, just like the Li family's current mood.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, they are eager to grasp it.
Jiayin stretched out her small hand to hold Mrs. Li's big hand, and called her babblingly.
"Fu Niu'er, are you hungry? Jiaren, squeeze out the goat's milk and boil it!"
Mrs. Li quickly patted her granddaughter and called her grandson for help.
The Li family members seemed to be turned on by this voice, and they all got up and got busy, which diluted the anxiety just now.
The child's body couldn't hold on for long. After Jiayin drank the goat's milk, he fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, the sky was already slightly bright.
The Li family really didn't sleep all night. Everyone's eyes were red and they were anxiously waiting for the people on the boat to come over.
When the sun was completely above the horizon, a boy finally jumped off the big boat and trotted all the way to the Li family.
"Our wife has agreed, you guys hurry up and pack your things and get on the boat with me!"
Before the boy finished speaking, the joy on the faces of the Li family could no longer be concealed.
The boy brought not only good news, but also hope for the survival of the Li family.
There is no need to live in the open and live in fear anymore.
Even Mrs. Li, who had always been strong, turned her head and wiped her tears.
Tao Hongying hugged her daughter and kissed her again and again. Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru even hugged each other and cried.
Jia Xi and Jia An were jumping around, venting their ecstasy.
Everyone's hearts had been hung up all night, and now they could finally return to their stomachs.
Mrs. Li took her granddaughter from Tao Hongying's arms, pressed her face against hers, and whispered.
"My granddaughter is lucky because she has provided food for herself and found a way for the whole family to survive!"
"Old lady, let's go quickly. How many people are watching, and it will be troublesome if we delay any longer."
The boy couldn't help urging, and the Li family also woke up and quickly packed up.
Li Laoer was originally a bookkeeper, so the only donkey in the family was given to him to sell.
Although I only got half of the money, it went very smoothly.
After a while, everyone also packed their luggage.
Despite the envious and jealous looks of other victims, he quickly followed the young man onto the boat.
The middle-aged steward last night was waiting at the side of the boat. When he saw the dairy goat being carried aboard by Mr. Li first, he smiled and pointed at the boy.
"Your accommodation has been arranged. Follow Wang Fu to put your luggage."
The Li family all saluted and thanked them.
"My name is Wang Jian. You can just call me Manager Wang from now on."
The middle-aged manager turned to Mrs. Li and said again.
"Old lady, our lady heard that your child is not yet one month old, and she told me to take the child to her.
You can tidy up and come with me. Our lady has been on the boat all day, and she is very depressed. You and your wife Just chatting, don't be nervous."
How dare Mrs. Li refuse to agree? She took Tao Hongying to the cabin and quickly changed into clean clothes. Then she hugged Jiayin and followed Steward Wang to the room at the front of the ship.
"Madam, the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are here."
Steward Wang knocked on the door gently, and when he heard a reply from inside, he carefully opened the door and led Mrs. Li and the others in.
This big ship already looked very spacious and grand, but I didn't expect that the rooms on the ship would be even more exquisitely decorated.
The tables and chairs are made of fine yellow pear wood, and the carved window lattice is made of soft white tissue paper.
There is also an orange-yellow copper incense burner on the table. Fine smoke floats out from the hole above, and the whole room is filled with a calming fragrance.
Mrs. Li had never seen such a scene before. She was stunned by the wealth in her eyes.
But it was only for a moment that she quickly suppressed her thoughts of looking around and stood behind Manager Wang with a low eyebrow.
Tao Hongying also stood at the back with good news in her arms, her eyes falling on the floor half a meter in front of her toes, quiet and calm.
The woman sitting on the chair by the window looked to be in her thirties, wearing a light purple brocade dress.
Her black hair was pulled into a simple bun, with a delicate red hairpin embedded with jewels on her head. It complemented her snow-white skin and red lips, and she looked like a pampered and wealthy person.
The little girl she was holding in her arms was about half a year old. She was pink and jade-like, with dark eyes that were moist and lively. She was wearing a crimson dress and looked rich.
The noble lady was very satisfied with the rules of Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law. When she looked at the babies in their arms, her eyes softened even more.
She had no children in her early years, so in order to have a son, she went around burning incense and worshiping Buddha, doing good deeds and accumulating merit.
I only got a daughter when I was approaching my thirties. Now is the time when maternal love is overflowing.
Therefore, as soon as Manager Wang said it this morning, she agreed to allow the Li family to board the ship.
After all, poor people value money very seriously.
It is really rare for the Li family to give up gold and silver for their children.
"Sit down, don't be restrained." Mrs. Sun raised her hand and motioned for Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law to sit down.
Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying thanked each other and only dared to sit on half of the chairs.
Mrs. Li thought for a while, lowered her voice, but said it very sincerely.
"Thank you, Madam, for allowing our family to take the boat. Madam, rest assured that our family will stay on track and not cause trouble on the boat, and we will try our best to repay Madam for her kindness."
This was so true that Madam Sun felt comfortable and wanted to speak . , saw Jiayin stretching her neck as hard as she could, as if she wanted to watch the excitement.
The little baby's face is fair and plump, which makes people happy just to look at it.
