Chapter 157: The elders are surprised at the clever naming
Although Xu Miaoniang cannot be called a friend of mine, she is not an enemy, let alone an antagonist. She has never provoked me. At most, she is a little timid and cowardly, and she is afraid of death, and she has some small thoughts behind her.
But then again, human nature is selfish. Aren't I also afraid of death? If I were not afraid, why would I flee with my whole family?
They are all the same people. In the feudal ancient times, women had a hard life. As women, she was older than the little girl. So what should she do with this little orphan who came to her door for help? She looked so pitiful.
Li Yaoguang sighed, pulled Yi Ge'er up, and then pulled up the embarrassed Xu Miaoniang.
"Forget it, get up, Sister Miao Niang. I can take you and your brother with me, but I still say the same thing. Let's be frank. The road ahead is dangerous. My family is all weak, sick and disabled. It's hard for them to protect themselves, so I can't guarantee you anything. When danger comes, I may not be able to take care of you. You have to learn to protect yourself. I will not be responsible for your safety and future. In this case, do you still want to follow me?"
Now, as long as she can be taken with her, whatever she says is what matters.
Xu Miaoniang was afraid of being left behind, so she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Guangjie, don't worry, I know, I will definitely not cause any trouble for you, thank you, thank you."
"No need to thank me, let's go, it's getting late, we have to hurry up and get on with our journey."
"Okay, okay, let's get going, let's get going."
Just like that, Li Yaoguang once again took Xu Miaoniang and her siblings on their journey home.
They came with horses, and returned on foot, with two burdens who could not walk fast. Even Ji Mo could not wait any longer, so he helped carry Yi Ge'er for a while. When they returned to the small fishing boat, the moon was already high in the sky.
The village was quiet with only the occasional barking of dogs. From afar, he could see candles lit in the courtyard where they were staying. Li Yaoguang's heart, which had been tense all the way, finally settled down.
Fortunately, God was not too cruel. The small fishing village was still safe, and his relatives were also safe. Li Yaoguang was extremely grateful, and his steps became lighter as he rushed to his temporary home.
The couple, who had been worried and had been waiting for them in the house, hurried out to greet them when they heard the noise. They were happy to see that Li Yaoguang had really returned. However, they were both surprised when they saw Xu Miaoniang and her brother following behind them.
Yu Meixue even pulled her niece aside and asked in a low voice, "Guang'er, didn't they follow General Shen? Why?"
"Shh, I'll tell you later. Let's settle down first. By the way, auntie, have you, my uncle, and Yangyang eaten? Doctor Ji and I bought some delicious food in the county town, as well as a roast chicken..."
"Wait, Doctor Ji, who?"
Li Yaoguang then remembered that Ji Mo had transformed into Mo Ji before! He slapped his forehead and pointed his chin at someone who was unloading the backpack.
"Look, Doctor Ji is Doctor Mo. He is actually the person we have been looking for. I misunderstood before. Doctor Wu's junior brother is really young. This time when he went back to the county, he was exposed and revealed his identity to me. He is Doctor Ji Mo Ji, not Doctor Mo Ji Mo!"
"Is this true?" Yu Meixue couldn't believe it. Even Cheng Su, who tilted his head to listen, was also surprised.
How could Ji Mo, who was packing medicine bags nearby, not have heard it? Looking at the couple's performance, Ji Mo's lips twitched. He could not pretend to be blind anymore. He put down the things in his hands and walked straight over, bowing solemnly to Cheng Su and Yu Meixue.
"Mr. Cheng, Madam Cheng, I am Ji Mo. I was traveling outside before and it was inconvenient. I am really sorry for hiding something. Please don't hold it against me and forgive me."
Cheng Su was also a shrewd person. He just said polite words and waved his hands. "I don't deserve it. It's never too careful when you go out. Doctor Ji, you are so polite."
Li Yaoguang, who was standing by, couldn't help but watch the two of them talking back and forth. She was exhausted after traveling for so long. She just wanted to eat something to fill her stomach, wash up and go to bed, so she interrupted them. "Uncle, and Doctor Ji, it's getting late. Are you hungry? I am hungry anyway. How about we get something to eat first, and you and Doctor Ji can talk while we eat?"
Cheng Su was busy shutting up, but Ji Mo was dissatisfied. He raised his eyebrows and looked Li Yaoguang up and down, "Ha, little sister, if you have something to say, it's Brother Ji, if you have nothing to say, it's Doctor Ji. You are... not good, right?"
"Ji, Brother Ji?"
This title startled Cheng Su and Yu Meixue again. They looked at their niece together, which made Li Yaoguang look embarrassed. Looking at Ji Mo's expression of watching the fun, she really wanted to slap his pig-headed face twice. However, she hasn't got 3.0 yet, and she has to ensure sustainable development in the future. The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and she won't lose anything anyway.
Li Yaoguang gritted her teeth and simply nodded to her relatives, "Yes, auntie, uncle, before I came here, I recognized Doctor Ji as my elder brother." Let you show off, I will confirm my status, and next time I ask you to buy 4.0, 5.0... you can't refuse, right?
Ji Mo was stunned for a moment, then he sneered and nodded, very straightforwardly, "Yes, Mr. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, no, you should call me Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, I'm too white, nice to meet you, uncle and aunt."
It really is "Taibai"! It is so white!
This is forcing the couple to do something they are not allowed to have a say.
Cheng Su and Yu Meixue looked at each other, but seeing that their children looked like they were taking advantage, Doctor Ji, ahem, Ji Taibai were also happy to cooperate. What else did they say? They readily raised their generational status and nodded, accepting the title of uncle and aunt.
From then on, Ji Mo was different from Shen Yue. He decided the status of this younger generation without knowing it.
In the shadows, Xu Miaoniang held her brother's hand, secretly watching the happy scene in front of her. She felt bitter in her heart, pulled the corners of her lips, took two steps forward into the light and shadow, and greeted Cheng Su and Yu Meixue.
"Miao Niang meets Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng. I hope you two are doing well these days."
Oh, I forgot about this brother and sister.
Yu Meixue hurried forward and took Xu Miaoniang's hand affectionately, "Look at me, we were just busy talking. Thank you for your concern, Miaoniang. We are all fine. You and Yige'er are all fine too. Good boy, you've had a hard time along the way. Come on, come on, let's go inside and talk."
As Yu Meixue pulled the brother and sister into the house, Yi Ge'er and Yang Ge'er on the couch quickly became familiar with each other and played together. While her aunt went to the kitchen to prepare supper, Li Yaoguang, who had finished arranging Xu Miaoniang, pulled her aunt aside and told her how she met Xu Miaoniang and the experiences of Xu Miaoniang and her brother, and how they had to come along and she couldn't refuse.
Yu Meixue was a soft-hearted person. After listening to this, she sighed and didn't say much else. She just felt sorry for her own child.
"It's okay to take them with you, but I'm afraid you'll have to work hard in the future, kid. Your uncle, Yang Ge'er and I are already a burden, and adding these siblings is a burden."
Li Yaoguang smiled and comforted her overthinking aunt.
"It's okay. We're going to Yangzhou soon. After crossing Yangzhou, we'll reach the Yangtze River. Once we cross the river, we'll be completely safe. It won't take long. Besides, Ji Mo has already said on the way here that he won't leave us until his uncle's leg is completely healed. He will go with us. And my aunt is very good at martial arts, even better than Shen Yue. She also agreed that Xu Miaoniang and her brother can follow us, so let's take them with us. Once we take them across the Yangtze River and settle them down, we'll have completed our mission, and it won't be in vain for Doctor Xu to take care of our family."
When mentioning Doctor Xu and thinking of that good man, Yu Meixue sighed again.
"Yes, yes, my son, what you said is right. It's just that you have suffered so much. At such a young age, you have protected us all the way and worried about us, your useless elders."
"Aiya, aunt, why are we talking about this as a family? Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore..." She was afraid that her aunt would say this, which would make her feel overwhelmed. She quickly changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, aunt, Ji Mo said he's going to treat his face soon and wants to make a curtain. I don't know how to make it, so you can make one for him later. Thank you for your hard work."
"Okay, these are just small things."
