My sister-in-law has already said something like, ‘I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of?’, Ji Bochang naturally doesn’t need to pretend to refuse anymore...

After more than twenty years, I returned to my former home.

When he saw that the peach tree he had planted casually was now tall and tall, with the small fruits that had just grown hidden among the branches, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"This peach tree is still there..."

"yes."

Tong Sanniang also knew that this was his former residence, so she joked with a smile: "The predecessors planted the trees and the others can enjoy the shade. You, the predecessors planted the trees, and I, the sister-in-law, picked the fruits."

"Huh?"

Tong Anan seemed to have discovered something interesting, and asked with surprise on her face: "Did Uncle Ji plant this big peach tree in our house?"

"good."

Uncle Ji touched her little head and said with a smile: "When I planted this peach tree, Uncle Ji was not as old as you are now. Now it has lush branches and leaves, which is really gratifying."

"Oh~"

The little girl looked astonished, and then said with a smile: "I asked why the peaches from the big peach tree are so sweet. It turns out that Uncle Ji planted them."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Ji Bo Chang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He pinched her little face affectionately and said with a smile: "No matter how sweet the peach is, it's not as sweet as An An's little mouth~"

"Okay, okay."

Tong Sanniang shook her head with a smile on her face and said, "An'an, your Uncle Ji and I still have something to talk about. You can go and play by yourself."

"Then mother, you and Uncle Ji can talk slowly."

The little girl responded obediently, then slipped out with a smile on her face and hugged the music box.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Ji Bochang watched the little girl's back disappear and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This kid An'an is full of energy in his eyes and has a bright future~"

"I don't expect her to be rich or have a bright future. I just expect her to be safe."

Tong Sanniang also sighed, and then she seemed to react and said, "Bo Chang, please sit down first and I'll make a pot of tea."

Ji Bochang nodded slightly, but did not sit down. He just quietly looked at the place where he had lived for eight years...

In a short while...

Tong Sanniang came over with the tea set. She poured the tea and said: "When Aunt Ji Shuning died, our family was all away. When I came back, I heard that you had all moved away. Your Uncle Li and Brother Hong Yan still wanted to find you.

It was there, but it was not found.”

"I'm interested..."

Ji Bochang just smiled when he heard this, but didn't take it to heart.

I couldn't pay the rent and was sent to live in an isolated city by the outer disciples of Xianxia Mountain. This was no secret. If I really wanted to find it, how could I not find it?

After all, Uncle Li was just a friend of his father's generation. Although the relationship was good, it was not to the point where he could take the initiative to adopt the other person's child, so he had never been offended...

Correspondingly, what Tong Sanniang said now, he regarded it as a courtesy and could not take it seriously.

"Later, your Uncle Li missed Uncle Ji, so he rented this courtyard and gave it to me and your brother Hong Yan to live in."

Tong Sanniang pushed the tea in front of him, seeming to explain, but also saying with emotion: "This is also the reason why I live here now."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much..."

Ji Bochang said with a wry smile: "I came here just to reminisce about the past. As for the length of my stay, I have only lived here for eight years, which is far less emotional than my sister-in-law."

"That's because my sister-in-law is worrying too much."

Tong Sanniang smiled and said, "I haven't talked about you yet. I remember that you were very smart when you were a child. You were like a little adult and could learn anything at once."

She paused in her voice and asked: "How come after all these years, you are still only at the third level of Qi training? But you are lazy in training?"

"I'm not lazy..."

Ji Bochang shook his head and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Xianxia Mountain tested me for a five-series pseudo-spiritual talent, and my little cleverness was suddenly wiped out."

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "Being able to reach the third level of Qi training is the result of more than twenty years of hard work."

"Five-series pseudo-spiritual roots?"

Tong Sanniang glanced at him in surprise, and then seemed to think of something, and said with relief: "It will be a pile of loess after a hundred years before the foundation period, but it will always be the same."

"..."

Ji Bochang couldn't think of a reason to refute for a while, so he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sister-in-law is quite open-minded."

"I'm looking away now."

Tong Sanniang shook her head and said self-deprecatingly: "Just like your brother Hong Yan, who reached the late stage of Qi refining seven years ago. In order to prepare for the foundation building, he sold his belongings and went to Mangshan Mountain to find the immortal grass...

But what’s the result?

It’s not like he’s dead and gone…

Another example is myself. I am at the sixth level of Qi training, but I am blocked at the door of my house to collect debts. I can’t even pay one year’s rent, so what’s the use?”

"..."

Ji Bochang looked at his sister-in-law who was already "lying down", and couldn't help but sigh and asked: "At the worst, we can live in a different place, why do we end up like this?"

"Change somewhere?"

Tong Sanniang drank the tea in one gulp and said, "It doesn't matter if I am alone, I can live just by digging a hole in the mountains outside.

But what about An'an?

What should she do?

She is only seven years old this year, and her spiritual energy has not been tested yet. Should we let her live in a cave with me? Or go to an isolated city with thin spiritual energy and waste her qualifications?"

"..."

Ji Bo Chang Moran, although he does not have children, he can fully understand a parent's determination to give the best things to their children...

"Oh, don't mention me anymore."

Tong Sanniang asked nonchalantly: "Where are you, Bo Chang? What are your plans for returning to Fangshi this time?"

"Nothing planned."

Ji Bochang said half-truthfully: "I learned some crafts outside, and then came back with a hot head. I first found a place to live, and then I found a way to find a few Taoist monks to spread my business. I guess that's it.

"

"Are you... a seeker? Or a few of them?"

Tong Sanniang was stunned and stunned. When she came to her senses, she thought he was joking, so she laughed and scolded: "You don't have high cultivation qualifications, but your thoughts are quite beautiful."

"That's not..."

Ji Bochang also smiled and said nonchalantly: "The cultivation qualifications are not good in the first place. If you no longer want to be beautiful, what's the point of living?"

"Go! Go! Go…"

Seeing that he was still joking, Tong Sanniang waved her hand and then said seriously: "Can I discuss something with you?"

"Sister-in-law, you can speak out."

Ji Bochang pointedly added: "Apart from borrowing spiritual stones, if we can help with anything else, I won't say a word."

"I see that your intelligence since childhood has not been brought back to its original form."

Tong Sanniang curled her lips and joked, "Don't worry, I still understand the principle of not helping the poor if I don't borrow spiritual stones from you..."

Her voice paused, and then she said seriously: "I will move out in a few days. If you want to continue renting this courtyard, can you help your sister-in-law take care of An'an?"

"I?"

Ji Bochang first pointed at himself with a surprised look on his face, then pointed at her and said: "Help you, take An'an?"

"Yes, I know this is a bit embarrassing, but I really have no choice."

Tong Sanniang sighed and explained: "An'an is too young and can't live without people. Now I have no relatives and no one to trust me. Even if I want to go out and earn some spiritual stones, it will be difficult."

"I see…"

Ji Bochang nodded with a look of surprise on his face and said, "You want to entrust An An to my care, and then go out and earn spiritual stones by yourself?"

"yes!"

Tong Sanniang didn't hide it, she stared directly into his eyes and said: "Bo Chang, I won't let you get it for nothing. As long as you take good care of An An, you will get 50% of the spiritual stones I earn afterwards."

!!”
