She smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to be polite. It's fate that we can take the same boat to go south. It's not a kindness, it's just a little effort."
After that, she looked at Tao Hongying and said, "Can Can you bring your child over and show it to me?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Hongying quickly adjusted her posture and walked to Mrs. Sun with Jiayin in her arms.
Jiayin naturally knew that this woman was a noble member of their Li family, and she would still expect her to take care of her in the future.
So she tried her best to open her mouth and giggle happily.
With such a smile, she couldn't control her drool, and it dripped into her neck, tickling her, and she started to shake her head again...
Mrs. Sun was so teased that she kept laughing, and she also brought the little girl in her hand closer to the swaddle.
"Nanny, look how cute this little sister is!"
Children are willing to imitate her. When Miss Sun saw the good news and shook her head happily, she also shook her head and laughed.
Finally, we have to stretch out our two little hands to touch the good news.
"Oh, my daughter is smiling." Mrs. Sun was even more happy to see her daughter so lively.
My daughter hasn't had enough to eat these days, and she hasn't had enough rest on the boat. She has been crying for several days. It is rare for her to be so energetic.
This little girl from the Li family is really interesting.
With her on the boat in the future, it will definitely be a lot better for my daughter to have more playmates.
The more Mrs. Sun saw the good news, the more she liked it. She asked the maid beside her to get a wooden box from the dressing table.
Opening the wooden box, Mrs. Sun took out a gold collar inside, with a small longevity lock underneath.
"I ordered this longevity lock to be made before my daughter was born. I made two of them. I just want to give the extra one to your children."
"Madam, this is not possible, it is too expensive."
Old Mrs. Li He quickly refused, but Mrs. Sun directly put the longevity lock around Jiayin's neck.
"I like this child, what's wrong with giving him a small gift?"
After she finished speaking, she gently pinched Jiayin's chubby little face.
Jiayin didn't expect such a surprise. She loved it so much that she gave the sponsor a "toothless" smile!
Mrs. Li still wanted to refuse. After all, she was very grateful to be able to take the boat to the south. How could she ask for such a valuable thing?
But at this time, Zhao Yuru came in with a maid carrying two bowls of goat milk.
"Madam, the goat milk has been delivered." The maid whispered, "I watched the milking and cooked it, adding almonds to remove the fishy smell."
Mrs. Sun nodded, and Mrs. Li remembered a few gossips she had heard occasionally.
Nobles from wealthy families have to test for poison when eating food. This goat's milk comes from their Li family, which makes it even more difficult for people to doubt it.
So, she hurriedly called to Tao Hongying, "Fu Niu'er is quick to talk, let's feed her first."
As she spoke, she took a spoon and scooped up the goat's milk and brought it to Jiayin's mouth.
Jiayin gave her grandma a big thumbs up in her heart, and then drank happily.
The fragrance of milk gradually filled the air, and the daughter in Mrs. Sun's arms was a little anxious. She stretched out her little hand to grab the goat's milk bowl again, "Na... Na..."
"Hurry up and feed my daughter." Mrs. Sun quickly handed her daughter to the nanny's arms.
The maid also scooped up the goat's milk and carefully fed it to the young lady.
Maybe she was hungry, or maybe she was infected by the good news, so Miss Sun followed her example and drank. Her appetite made Mrs. Sun even more happy.
"We will continue our journey in a while. If you have anything to say to Manager Wang, don't be polite. From now on, we can often hold the children and chat with them."
Mrs. Sun took advantage of the break between the two children to drink milk and asked Mr. Li softly. Taihe Tao Hongying.
Mrs. Li quickly responded, feeling much more at ease.
By the time the two bowls of goat's milk were gone, Jiayin and Miss Sun's stomachs were both full.
Miss Sun also gave a soft burp and nestled in Mrs. Sun's arms.
Her black grape-like eyes stared at the good news, which was even younger than hers, without blinking, which was very novel.
Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying chatted with Mrs. Sun for a while. It was not until both children were sleepy that they returned to their residence.
This is the simplest servant's room. It is at the end of the cabin on the lowest level. The room has no windows and the floor is still damp.
The Li family was divided into men and women, occupying two rooms in total. The small space made them feel a little crowded even when they turned around.
Even so, the Li family and the young are also grateful to the Sun family.
As long as they can get to Kyoto safely, they can endure even an environment worse than this.
"Mom, I put a straw mat under your berth. If your legs and feet are not good, don't get wet."
Zhao Yuru helped Mrs. Li to her berth and gave instructions carefully.
Mrs. Li nodded, feeling pleased with the thoughtfulness of her third daughter-in-law.
"The second sister-in-law and second brother have gone to help with the work, and I have to go there soon.
Just now, brother Wang Fu said that you are old and don't have to do anything. Hongying has to breastfeed the child. Just go to work when you have free time. "
Zhao Yuru works steadily and has a gentle temperament. In a short time, she has become familiar with several boys on the boat.
"Okay, go and do your work quickly. Remember to keep an eye on the second daughter-in-law and don't let her talk nonsense."
Mrs. Li told Zhao Yuru. Zhao Yuru agreed, stretched out the mattress again, and then went out to work.
Mrs. Li sat back on the bunk, held her granddaughter in her arms, patted her gently, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this point, their family has finally settled on the Sun family's boat.
Jiayin felt sorry for her grandma and wanted to make her smile, but she was too full and fell asleep soon.
At three o'clock in the morning, the big ship slid into the river again and set sail.
Leaving the dock, we also left the victims with miserable eyes.
After a day of adapting to the situation, the Li brothers each found a suitable job to help.
Li Laoer was good at writing and calculation, and helped Manager Wang with purchasing and accounting, and soon became a good helper for Manager Wang.
Li Laosan is a man of few words, but he was originally a mason with skillful and careful hands.
Where there are hidden dangers on the ship, he only needs to study them for a while before he can repair and strengthen them.
Li Laosi is very strong, and it is easy for him to lift heavy objects.
It took several boys to work together to lift the large hatch, but he could lift it easily alone.
Jiaren and his younger brothers were not idle either. They took the initiative to help the servants. They had good eyesight and worked neatly.
The main thing is that their family is not the Sun family's slaves, and they will not take credit no matter how good they do.
Therefore, the boy was very pleasing to them, took good care of everything, and occasionally secretly stuffed them with a pack of pine nut candies.
Li Jiahuan did not follow the brothers around, but helped Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru cook in the kitchen.
He was busy around the pot table, which made Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru feel much more relaxed.
The Li family is so diligent, so the boat can't help but be much more lively than before.
The sounds of men working and the sounds of children chasing and laughing made the ship, which was originally heading south to escape the war, feel more relaxed.
Mrs. Sun listened to the faint laughter on the deck and patted her sleeping daughter gently with a smile on her face.
Outside the window, Jiayin was lying on her grandma's back, looking at the river view.
Mrs. Li was afraid that her granddaughter would be swallowed by the wind, so she surrounded her with only one pair of eyes. It was very interesting to watch, and everyone who passed by would tease Jiayin.
