MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 10 The Rules of Rich People

She smiled and said, "Mom, you're welcome. It's fate that we can take the same boat to go south. It's not much of a kindness, it's just a simple effort."

 After saying that, she looked at Tao Hongying, "Can you bring your child over and show me?"

Hearing this, Tao Hongying quickly adjusted her posture and walked up to Mrs. Sun with the good news in her arms.

Jiayin naturally knows that this woman is a noble member of their Li family, and they still expect her to take care of her in the future.

 So she tried her best to open her mouth and giggle happily.

Smiling like this, her saliva flowed into her neck uncontrollably, tickling her, and she started shaking her head again...

Mrs. Sun was so amused that she couldn't stop laughing, and she also held her little daughter close to the swaddling clothes.

“Nanny, look how cute this little sister is!”

Children are all willing to imitate others. Miss Sun shook her head happily when she saw the good news, and she also shook her head and laughed.

 Finally, two little hands must be stretched out to touch the good news.

“Oh, my daughter is smiling.” Mrs. Sun was even more happy to see her daughter so lively.

These days, my daughter hasn’t had enough to eat, and she hasn’t had much rest on the boat. She has been crying for several days, and 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.

Mrs. Sun fell in love with the good news the more she read it, so she asked the maid beside her to get a wooden box from the dressing table.

 The wooden box was opened, and Mrs. Sun took out a gold collar inside, with a small longevity lock hanging underneath.

"I ordered people to make these longevity locks 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.”

Mrs. Li 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's milk.

"Madam, the goat milk has been delivered." The maid whispered, "I watched the milking and cooked it. I added almonds to remove the fishy smell."

Mrs. Sun nodded, and Mrs. Li remembered a few gossips she had heard occasionally.

The nobles of the big households have to test poison. This goat milk comes from their Li family, and it is difficult to make people doubt.

So, she quickly called to Tao Hongying, "Fu Niu'er has a quick mouth, feed her first."

As she spoke, she took a spoon, 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 milk bowl again, "Na... na..."

"Hurry up and feed your daughter." Mrs. Sun quickly handed her daughter to the wet nurse's arms.

The maid also scooped up the goat's milk and carefully fed it to the young lady.

Perhaps she was hungry, or was infected by the good news, Miss Sun also 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 do, just tell the steward Wang. Don't be polite. From now on, you can often chat with the children."

Mrs. Sun took advantage of the break when the two children were drinking milk and gently gave instructions to Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying.

Old Mrs. Li responded quickly, feeling much more at ease.

By the time the two bowls of goat's milk were gone, Jiayin and Miss Sun's bellies 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.

Orange Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying chatted with Mrs. Sun for a while, until both children were sleepy, 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 is divided into men and women, occupying a total of two rooms. The small space makes them feel a little crowded even when they turn 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 shop. If your legs and feet are not good, don’t get damp.”

 Zhao Yuru helped Mrs. Li to her berth and gave her instructions carefully.

Mrs. Li nodded, feeling pleased with her third daughter-in-law's thoughtfulness.

“Second sister-in-law and second brother have gone to help with the work, and I have to go there soon.

Brother Wang Fu said just now that you are old and don’t have to do anything. Hongying has to breastfeed her child and just go to work when she is free. "

Zhao Yuru works steadily and has a gentle temperament. After a while, 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, and Zhao Yuru agreed, stretched out the mattress again, and then went out to do some 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 quickly.

At three poles in the sun, the big ship slid into the river again and set sail.

 Leaving the dock, he also left the victims with miserable eyes.

　　After a day of adapting, the Li family brothers each found a suitable job to help.

Li Laoer was good at writing and doing calculations, and he helped Manager Wang with purchasing and accounting, and he 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 working together to lift the big deck, 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 no matter how good they do, they will not take credit.

 So, the boy was very pleasing to them, took good care of everything, and occasionally secretly stuffed them with a bag of pine nut candies.

Li Jiahuan did not follow the brothers around, but helped Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru cook in the back kitchen.

 He was busy around the cooking pot, 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 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 her.
