Hearing Shui Wa say this, Shen Xiuxiu immediately laughed and stepped forward to hold Shui Wa's arm.
Shui Wa originally had no awareness of the difference between men and women, but after being teased a lot by the sailors and escorts on the ship, she finally learned to be shy.
After being held by Shen Xiuxiu's arm, she subconsciously wanted to break away, but thinking of Shen Xiuxiu's life experience, she finally resisted the idea.
The two of them walked north along the seaside path, one behind the other.
Not far away, Shui Wa saw an old man with a hunched back on the path, trotting forward.
Shui Wa took a closer look and saw that it was Grandpa Turtle.
In his impression, Grandpa Turtle lives up to his name and does everything slowly.
This was the first time Shui Wa saw Grandpa Turtle running on his way.
Shui Wa pulled Shen Xiuxiu and started running.
We haven’t seen each other for a few months. Grandpa Turtle seems to be getting older and carrying more weight on his back.
"Grandpa Turtle, why are you here?"
Shui Wa asked breathlessly.
"Our hero has returned from his expedition to suppress bandits. Of course I have to welcome him!"
Grandpa Turtle smiled and joked.
He originally wanted to get up early to go fishing, but as soon as he arrived at the waterside, he heard that the Jinchuan was back.
Shui Baby is Grandpa Turtle's only relative in the world. Ever since the Jinchuan left, Grandpa Turtle has been worried about Shui Baby.
After worrying and waiting for so long, the Jinchuan is finally back.
Grandpa Turtle didn't even have time to collect the boat and ran along the seashore to the dock.
Grandpa Turtle smiled even happier when he saw Shen Xiuxiu clinging tightly to the hem of Shui Wa's clothes.
The wrinkled old face is like a blooming old chrysanthemum: "Shui Baby, whose little girl is this?"
"Her name is Shen Xiuxiu. Her family was killed by pirates. We went to Japan this time to avenge her!"
Shui Wa said: "Brother Cai asked me to take care of her. I thought she had no home, so I took her back to our house!"
Shen Xiuxiu heard Shui Wa say Grandpa Turtle so many times on the boat. When she saw Grandpa Turtle looking at her, she let go of Shui Wa with a red face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Grandpa Turtle: "Grandpa Turtle, Xiuxiu kowtows to you.
Got it!"
"Get up, get up!"
Grandpa Turtle quickly picked up Shen Xiuxiu: "What a poor girl, you must be hungry. Grandpa Turtle just caught some good fish today. Let's go home. Grandpa Turtle will steam the fish for you!"
"Okay," Shen Xiuxiu nodded: "Shui Wa always said on the boat that Grandpa Turtle's steamed fish is particularly delicious, and I can finally eat it today!"
"Don't worry, it's enough!"
Grandpa Turtle waved his hand, and an old man and two young children walked along the seaside path towards home in the morning sun.
I don’t know what Grandpa Turtle said, but it made Shui Wa and Shen Xiuxiu burst into laughter. The workers who were commuting to and from the morning shift turned to look, and then started laughing too.
When they arrived at the yard bought by Grandpa Turtle, Shen Xiuxiu couldn't help but frown.
"Grandpa Turtle, why did you buy Grandpa A Ming's house?"
"What's wrong?" Grandpa Turtle asked.
Shen Xiuxiu hesitated and said nothing.
People get better with age. Although Grandpa Turtle has never read a book, he has lived for decades. How could Shen Xiuxiu's little tricks be hidden from him?
He smiled and asked: "Has anyone died in this house?"

"Grandpa Turtle, do you know?" Shen Xiuxiu asked in surprise: "You know and still buy it?"
She is a native of Yuxi Town. An old fisherman lived in this house two years ago, and later died in this house. His son went out to sea to fish again at that time. The old fisherman died for several days before he was discovered by his son who came back.
This was taboo in the feudal era. Before dying, many old people would be carried to the haystack on the kitchen stove to die.
This is why houses in Yuxi Town are so popular and this yard has never been sold.
"What are you afraid of if people die?" Grandpa Turtle shook his head and said, "When I released the parade, I saw a lot of dead people. If the old brother who died here comes back, we two brothers will be able to talk."
"That's right, there's nothing to be afraid of the dead. I don't know how many times I've fallen asleep in the graveyard."
Shui Wa also patted her chest nonchalantly to show that she was brave.
But Shen Xiuxiu is still a little scared: "Grandpa Turtle, my house is very big, and no one lives in it now. Otherwise, you can sell this house and move to my house!"
"No, I think it's good to live here."
Grandpa Turtle waved his hand. Seeing that Shen Xiuxiu wanted to talk more, he simply turned around and went to the kitchen to steam the fish.
"Xiuxiu, Grandpa Turtle said that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. Grandpa Turtle bought this house and this will be our home."
Shui Wa said: "Grandpa Turtle said that people need to have a nest outside, and only if they live in their own nest can they feel at ease."
"But my house is empty. My father once said that the house must be lived in and supported by people, otherwise the house will soon be broken down." Shen Xiuxiu said, "If you let Grandpa Turtle live there, treat it as if it is for me."
The family is raising a house.”
"Now that you have taken revenge, do you still want to go on the ship?" Shui Wa asked.
"Go," Shen Xiuxiu nodded heavily: "If it weren't for the navy, I would never be able to avenge you in this life, and I would never be able to repay this kindness in my lifetime.
My father told me and my brother that as a person you have to be grateful, and as long as the Navy doesn’t drive me away, I will stay in the Navy for the rest of my life!”
Shui Wa is Jin Feng's little fanboy. When Shen Xiuxiu said this, she quickly reminded: "There is also the Imperial Master. I heard from Brother Shuanzi that he ordered the navy to go to Japan to catch pirates!"
"Yes, there are also the Imperial Master and Mrs. Xiaobei, they are also my great benefactors!" Shen Xiuxiu nodded.
"Then do you want to thank them?"
"Of course I do!"
"Then how about I take you to thank them in person?" Shui Wa asked.
"That's great," Shen Xiuxiu said happily: "I must kowtow to the Imperial Master, Mrs. Xiaobei, and General Zheng of the Navy!"
"Then when we finish eating, I will take you there?" Shui Wa said.
Before Shen Xiuxiu could nod, Grandpa Turtle who came out of the kitchen poured a basin of cold water on her.
"Shui Wa, don't think about it, the Imperial Master and Mrs. Xiaobei have both gone back!"
Shui Wa felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this, and he was a little confused: "When did the Imperial Master go back?"
"Just the past two days," Grandpa Turtle sighed.
Shui Wa's little tricks could be hidden from Shen Xiuxiu, but they couldn't hide them from Grandpa Turtle.
He said that he wanted to take Shen Xiuxiu to thank the Imperial Preceptor, but didn't he just want to meet the Imperial Preceptor?
In the past, Grandpa Turtle thought it was good for Shui Wa to go to the Navy, but this time, what happened to the Jinchuan made Grandpa Turtle a little scared.
He was really worried that Shui Wa would not come back.
On the way, he had already heard Shui Wa talk about the course of the Jinchuan's operation. Based on the Jinchuan's contribution this time, if Jin Feng were in the East China Sea, he would definitely give the commendation in person. Shui Wa would have a great chance of meeting Jin Feng.
If Jin Feng falls in love with Shui Wa, Shui Wa may not have to take risks on the Navy's ship.
