"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and good food and wine are on hand. Feel free to eat and drink!"
The bearded man has been in a particularly good mood these past two days, and the sullen aura that often lingers in his eyes has also become much lighter.
The cargo ship was still speeding along the canal, and a pool of moonlight fell outside the cabin.
The lights in the cabin were bright, and the low tables were filled with all kinds of dishes, all delicious and delicious, and several jars of water and wine were placed in the corners.
Everyone looked at him and looked at him, he was so happy that even his beard couldn't hide it, and they laughed.
The cargo ship will arrive at the next dock tomorrow. Everyone has already discussed it and dispersed at the next dock.
So this meal of food and wine was served by the bearded man to celebrate that he finally got rid of the god of plague and escaped from the sea of misery.
Bai Xiaofeng's folding fan clicked on the five children, one, two, three and four, "Let's go separately. It's impossible for the five little ones to stay together, so they have to be separated. At best, I and the old poisoner will take two each."
After saying that, he looked at the bearded man with a half-smile that was meaningful.
The bearded man poured cold water on his head, squinted his eyes, and the sinister aura in his eyes slowly swept over the boys except Tianbao.
He wants to see who dares to stick up!
Su An moved around in the cross-legged position with quick movements and bright eyes, "Uncle with a beard, I'll go with you!"
Big beard, "..."
The bearded man gritted his teeth and showed a fierce look, "I don't want to go with you!"
The boy was not afraid at all, he smiled and said, "You have to bring one!"
"Oh, you can follow me if you want, as long as you are not afraid of not being able to return to the place of exile!"
"Don't be afraid!" If he hadn't gone back, Pier 12 would have been demolished by Grandpa Du and Tianbao.
The bearded uncle is a businessman, can he do business at a loss?
cannot.
Su An bared her white teeth and smiled honestly and sincerely.
The bearded man stopped talking and felt that the food and wine on the table were no longer fragrant.
Su Wen and Su Wu looked at each other and moved to Bai Xiaofeng's side with a tacit understanding, raising their faces and smiling flatteringly at him, "Uncle Changdong!"
Bai Xiaofeng snorted and acquiesced.
Seeing this, Du Buguo dragged Tianbao and Bai Yu towards him, "There is no other way, the old man can only take care of these two little ones!"
Bai Xiaofeng, "So reluctant? I will change with you."
Old man, "Take a pee first! What are you dreaming about?"
Bai Xiaofeng, "I'm going to give you a mirror. How do you look at yourself first?"
The old man was about to slap the case and get up, "You bitch, you can't hit someone in the face! You fucking——"
"Grandpa Po! Uncle Feng! Eat first, eat first! How wonderful the moonlight is tonight!" The younger ones immediately offered chopsticks and wine glasses to the two of them... lest the two of them fight on the spot and ruin a table of delicious food, everyone was happy during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Can't eat delicious food.
The bearded man bit off his chopsticks and made a crackling sound with his teeth. Why didn't he hit him? He also kicked in, just in time to vent his anger!
After dinner, the three older ones sat around and chatted with the younger ones. The younger ones went out and lay on the deck to enjoy the wind and watch the moonlight.
Four boys of similar age, plus a little girl who doesn't talk much, chatter about everything.
"How long until we get home? Is the rice by the Qinghe River turning yellow soon?"
"Master's wife must have given birth to little junior sister. It's a pity that I didn't see her newborn appearance. Will she be as wrinkled as Tianbao when she was a child?"
"I don't know if all the fruits in our vegetable garden have been eaten. Grandpa and grandma will definitely leave some for us!"
"Hey brother, the bearded uncle is sinister and cruel. How dare you go to him? Are you really not afraid?"
"Then you two still dare to get close to Uncle Changdong, aren't you afraid of being fooled by him?"
The boys laughed together.
Su An lay down and looked at the disk-like moon above her head, with longing and longing in her eyes, "I used to think that I would never be able to leave the place of exile in this life, but I never thought about it. The world is really big outside... The experience of the bearded uncle is actually He is very rich. He runs a boat and does business alone and still does it in a decent way. You can learn a lot from him."
He wants to do business and make money. Either he loves money, or he likes the satisfaction of using his own ability to build a country and get results.
Master said that a man should be successful in his studies and have ideas. This is probably his ideal so far.
Speaking of his ideals, Su Wen laughed and said, "Then I want to be a literati, well-versed in writing and writing. Like those literati who emerged in Changjing this time, they dared to criticize the emperor and the court, and set off a trend in the public. In the end, they were forced to It’s so satisfying to have the Dog Emperor give in!”
Su Wu's ideal is even simpler, "I don't like doing business or making fuss. I want to fight against all the invincible opponents in the world! Make friends with fists! This is the real pleasure!"
He doesn't like to use his brain or his heart, and he doesn't like to work hard. This is his ideal in life!
The other three boys looked at him and patted his head sympathetically.
Don't even think about being the invincible player in the world. Other people won't say it. As long as Tianbao is here, no matter how good you are, you will always be second.
Silly boy.
"Bai Yu, what do you want to do in the future?" Su An looked at Bai Yu, out of curiosity.
This kid is not acquainted with their family. A few years ago, who would have thought that he would eventually become friends of brothers in life and death.
Bai Yu was half sitting and half lying down, with his elbows on the deck. Under the moonlight, his facial features were delicate and his eyebrows were arrogant. "My goal is to be the second best in the world!"
Everyone, "..."
Go away, you are second, then Xiao Wu will have to be third.
How can I compete for ranking by being your young master?
Everyone turned their attention to the little girl who was like a foil, "Tianbao, what about you? What do you want to do when you grow up?"
Tianbao didn't even think about it, "I want to live."
"..." You can't continue the conversation now.
Is living a fart ideal? Isn't that instinct?
Tianbao ignored the others, holding his knees with his hands and quietly watching the moonlight.
Behind him, there was the still lively chatter of the adults, and beside him, there were brothers laughing and playing freely.
There was also Uncle Duandao who rekindled his passion and went to Beijing alone from afar, his disciple Beishan who taught her carefully, her master and his wife, and the entire Xiao Su family who never regarded her as an alien.
Thinking of these people, Tianbao's expressionless little face showed a cute smile.
Life has passed by for a hundred years, and she has no big goals or ideals. She only wants to do one thing in this life.
Protecting all those she loved.
So, have to live.
Beside, the arrogant and proud young man glanced sideways, his gaze fell on the smile in the corner of the little girl's eyes, and he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.
After a moment, he crawled over on his toes and pushed the little girl's red embroidered shoes.
Unsurprisingly, he immediately received a heavy blow on his foot, which made him grin from the pain.
The little girl turned her head and looked up, frowning, "You deserve a beating."
"Tianbao Tianbao." Bai Yu rolled over and rolled next to her, smiling like a fool, "It's good to be alive, let's live together with my brother!"
"What's the benefit?"
"I'm rich! Take me with you. You, Grandpa Du, and Grandpa Su, Grandpa Su, can eat and drink well every day!"
"You can eat it without me."
"Aren't you happy to have someone run errands for you?"
Tianbao thought about it seriously and nodded, "It's okay to run errands."
The young man sat up, extremely excited, "Then it's agreed, you must keep me alive forever!"
"..."
In an instant, the young man's screams rang out on the deck, stopping and spreading for a long distance.
