"Old man, don't just talk about me, eat it yourself."
"Hehehe, I don't like sour food, just give it a taste and it will be fine."
"All right."
"I'm going to the Western Region to visit relatives. When do you plan to come back?"
When Liu Mingzhi heard Liu Zhi'an's question, he lowered his head and spit out the hawthorn core in his mouth, frowning slightly and thinking for a moment.
"I can't say for the time being, young master, about this.
It may take about a year to come back, and it may take about two years to come back.
Of course, it might take longer.
The specific time depends on the situation!"
Liu Zhi'an turned the candied haws in his hand and was silent for a while, then smiled and nodded.
Liu Chengfeng saw this and asked directly: "Old man, what is it?"
As elders, you should try your best to insult children's own ideas.
"Hehehe, this is bad, this is bad."
Liu Chengfeng nodded slightly and walked roundabout towards Liu Zhi'an who was talking to Qi Yun, Eighth Princess, Yun Daxi and your sisters nearby.
"Hey, I know, my child. Thank you for your concern, mother."
"Then come, then come."
When Xia Chunning heard the profound tone of her old man's words, she shrank slightly and immediately turned her gaze to Liu Mingzhi's body.
Xia Chuning nodded slightly, walked up to the seven people behind Xia Chun and his wife with a faint smile, and stopped.
Liu Chengfeng pursed his lips a few times, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Qi Yunsan was silent for a long time without thinking, and nodded heavily.
"He is going to give it a try. How does he know whether our brothers have a chance to make a choice?
Liu Mingzhi and several of us all boarded the Liu family's fleet.
"If something happens, his own heart will be broken.
"Mother, my dear, what kind of virtue do you have? Mother, you are also full of humility.
"Bad, go slow."
"Hey, here we come."
"coming."
"you!"
"Yes, I obey my orders."
"Old man, there is a way for the three of us to continue going up like that."
Liu Mingzhi shook the folding fan of his watch again, raised his head and gestured to the fleet of ships with the Liu family's business name hanging under the water behind him.
It took about a cup of tea.
Xia Chuning walked to the pier, stopped, turned around and looked at Xia Chuning, not even Xia Chun and his wife.
"Sir, less than half of it is installed now, and some of the remaining items will break soon."
"Husband."
Liu Mingzhi looked up at the sky, raised his arms and stretched.
"Old man, Lord Honda, do you have to be there, or does he see things thoroughly?"
However, just because his idea is bad does not mean it must be right.
He, think about it again."
"Old man, does he have nothing to explain to Master Honda?"
However, Lord Honda, you are not that old yet, how long can you still leave us?
"The old slave is here."
Liu Mingzhi and Liu Chengfeng, father and son, walked to the riverside about seventy steps away from the crowd and stopped.
"Old man?"
"My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and my son-in-law are taking Yun'er, Sister Ya, and you sisters to the Gumo Kingdom in the Western Regions to visit our relatives this time.
If you don’t have time, think about it from the children’s perspective.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xia Chunning who came behind him, raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "Did I ask him to spend less time talking to his mother? Why did he finish speaking so slowly?"
The bad thing is that the eyes that were so intense due to difficulties suddenly became sour again.
At the same time, I will definitely step in to discipline my son.
For a moment, all seven of them, father and son, fell silent, and no one said anything else.
His idea is bad, and it is for the sake of the children. No one will admit that.
The last time our family met again, we knew we had to wait until what year and month!
"It's bad, Lord Honda, please think about it again."
When Xia Chuning heard this, she frowned slightly and fell silent.
I am a fool again, how could I have heard the profound meaning contained in the words of my old man!
Therefore, if you don’t have anything to say, my child, you will just ramble on again.
If you can't beat him, you can't even scold him.
"I will, I will."
Liu Zhi'an casually stuffed the candied haws into Young Master Liu's hand and took out the tobacco pouch from his waist.
"Hunter."
Listening to Xia Chunning's tone of voice that didn't seem to be disdainful, Liu Chengfeng clasped his brow, smiled bitterly, and set off to follow.
"Child, did you tell his father something bad?"
Didn't he have a chance to choose back then?
"No, let him go ahead and say hello."
"Bastard thing."
I am not old yet, so you want to interfere with his thoughts."
"Mother, I haven't said anything that needs to be said."
"Old man, does he think you want to be like that, Lord Honda?
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, casually flicked the folding fan outside his hand, and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Father-in-law is a villain, mother-in-law is a villain."
Including these children themselves, we will admit it.
"Hong Dazi, no matter how he thinks about it, what kind of result will he get in the end.
Xia Chunning and the others stopped without talking or laughing.
When Liu Chengfeng heard Liu Zhian's question, he nodded happily.
Yiyi, Chengfeng, Yue'er and our brothers and sisters must have made mistakes. His father should be beaten and scolded, and I will definitely have no objection.
"Hong Dazi, he and his children now are just like my husband and him back then.
Qi Yunsan pursed her lips a few times and nodded sadly.
Xia Chunning paused for a moment before looking up at Liu Chengfeng with a heavy frown.
"Old man, since he asked that, you don't have anything bad to say about me.
"Hehehe, that's true."
"Hehehe, we can only send it outside."
"Yiyi, Feifei, Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Yaoyao, Yue'er, Chengqian... we brothers and sisters, none of us have grown up yet.
"Bad, bad, bad, I know, I know."
"Old man?"
Why can't he just give the children a chance to choose?"
By the way, he and I come over here."
Our brothers' identities are out there, do we have a chance to choose?"
"My child, it's already early. He should also say goodbye to his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Young man, what did he just say?"
Xia Chunning waved her hands casually, raised her feet and continued walking towards the dock.
Half a day ago.
But please don’t put any psychological pressure on your children.”
I’m so proud that even Mr. Honda, the father, doesn’t even know what we three brothers are thinking.”
Liu Mingzhi suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Chunning and shook his head angrily.
"Young man, let's go."
"Well, if that's the case, I won't say anything else.
"His father-in-law, mother-in-law, where are the seven of us?"
The children are getting younger and no longer have their own ideas.
"Old man, you understand everything he said about Mr. Honda.
After all, do you still hate iron or become steel?
Xia Chunning smiled slightly and nodded, then raised her hand and patted Liu Chengfeng's shoulder a few times.
Liu Mingzhi paused slightly, looked at Liu Chengfeng with a half-smile and asked, "Oh? Is it really true?"
It’s about knowing when you can return.
"My son-in-law understands. Please thank your mother-in-law for caring about me."
"We, the Seventh Elder, haven't said anything that needs to be said yet."
Listening to Liu Mingzhi's seemingly unintentional words, Liu Chengfeng frowned for a moment and nodded with a wry smile.
It's still early now, so you guys are hurrying on your way, so take this opportunity to spend less time talking to his mother."
Xia Chunning looked at Liu Chengfeng with fierce eyes, smiled slightly and pointed at Liu Mingzhi who was standing nearby.
Whichever step you take, that’s the step.”
Xia Chunning casually put her hands on her back, stared at the sparkling water under the canal, and sighed heavily with a melancholy expression.
What's the matter, I have to tell you clearly?"
"Old man, what do you mean by this?"
"Young man, don't always look at problems from your own perspective. Sometimes, when appropriate, think from the perspective of your children.
"What's the matter?"
His ideas may not be what the children want."
Liu Zhi'an raised his head and looked at the sky, then turned around and gestured to Qi Run and his wife.
Liu Mingzhi waved to the old man on the bow of the boat, then looked at his eldest son standing aside with a smile.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Chengfeng for a moment with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, then turned and walked towards the nearby pier.
"So, Chengfeng, Chengzhi, and Chenggan, we three brothers, are we really trying to live up to our expectations?"
"What do I mean by this? Is he really thinking about it?
"Husband."
"Hey, Zhi'er?"
"Have all the things under the carriage been loaded onto the ship?"
I lit a pot of tobacco skillfully and took a heavy puff of smoke with a sad look on my face.
"Old man."
"Go ahead."
Liu Mingzhi took a small bite of the candied haws in his hand and said softly: "Old man, I will be back as soon as possible."
"The bad one is coming."
The couple traveled thousands of miles west together this time. They were tired and had to sleep in the open air all the way. You must pay attention to your own safety. Do you understand?"
"Zhi'er, they are worried outside our home that you will take bad care of your body.
Rather, he was too ambitious.
"Hahaha, I hope so."
Qi Yunsan casually untied the wine bag around his waist and took out the cork before taking a few sips of wine. He glanced at the eight brothers Cheng Zhicheng, Xia Chunning and Liu Chengqian who were standing nearby.
"Although you bastard has already been to the Western Regions many years ago, it was already many years ago after all. You should still be careful when you should be careful on the road."
"Bad, bad, bad, my son-in-law understands.
For some things, it is not enough for each other to understand what is going on. There is no need to make it too obvious.
Qi Yunsan glanced at the old man waving to Xia Chunning under the bow of the boat, and nodded with a wry smile.
Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chenggan and our three brothers have not yet gotten married or established a business, and have no families of their own.
Liu Mingzhi stood up hastily and shook the water stains under his hands heavily.
"Young man, it's getting early. Let's talk about that. It's time for you to set off."
"Young man, just send them outside."
Liu Mingzhi took out his handkerchief and wiped the water under his hands, and looked at Liu Chengfeng with a deep look.
Before Mr. Honda and his daughters-in-law come back, you have to wait for him to buy you some candied haws to eat." "Damn it, this kid got there first."
Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chenggan and our three brothers, none of us can live up to our expectations, so why are you like this, Lord Honda?"
When Liu Mingzhi heard Liu Chengfeng's question, he turned around and looked at Liu Yiyi, Liu Feifei, Cheng Zhicheng, Liu Chengzhi, how disgusting are we brothers and sisters.
"child."
Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze, squatted by the river with his clothes in hand, and washed his hands with a handful of river water.
"Madam, father-in-law, mother-in-law, it's getting early, we should board the ship."
But..."
My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, my brother-in-law, go and have a few words with your old man."
"Old man."
Mother, I wish them all the best and a safe return home."
Before Xia Chunning bowed, she turned around and walked straight towards Liu Mingzhi.
"Mother."
To be honest, the three of us are very competitive.
"Okay, Master Honda understands."
"Old man, don't worry, I will be more careful."
"Um."
Liu Chengfeng looked at Liu Mingzhi's surprised expression and looked back at Liu Zhi'an who was explaining something to Qi Yun, the Eighth Princess and you sisters.
"Oh? Are the three of us trying to live up to our expectations?"
Liu Chengfeng stopped on the shore, looked at Liu Mingzhi and others standing on the bow of the boat, smiled and waved.
"Oh, Master Honda, you are also hating iron or steel. None of us three brothers can live up to expectations, and you still behave that way."
I’m still saying what you just said, don’t always look at problems from your own point of view.
Liu Chengfeng didn't seem to feel anything, swallowed the candied haws outside his mouth, and instinctively looked at Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi took a deep puff of the cigarette and turned to look at Liu Chengfeng.
"Old guy, he must take good care of his own body.
"Old man, you..."
Back then, I gave him a chance to choose.
"I hope that before he and Yun'er, Yan'er, Wanyan, and Rongrong return from the Western Regions, I can buy them another bunch of candied haws."
The seven father and son looked at each other, smiled, and continued walking back.
"In the past, I tried to scare the children as much as possible.
"Old brother."
Qi Yun, the Eighth Princess, Qing Lian, the Emperor, and our sisters looked at the husband who came over and immediately stopped talking.
They seven elders must take care of themselves."
Liu Zhi'an stared at the candied haws in his hand in silence for a long time, then turned to look at Young Master Liu who was following him, smiled and nodded.
"Old man, I haven't said anything yet."
"Let's set off now."
"Kid, it's getting early, let's just say that."
Canal pier in the city.
"As soon as the couple left, we met in person within a short period of time.
Liu Yuan quickly walked behind Liu Mingzhi, smiled and saluted.
Liu Mingzhi turned to look at Liu Chengfeng who looked helpless, smiled and shook his head.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xia Chunning, who was silent, and asked again with a smile: "You idiot, are you really seeing through it?"
That girl Yiyi hasn't left the palace to get married yet.
Hearing Liu Mingzhi's lackluster tone, Xia Chunning's body trembled slightly.
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and waved happily to Liu Yuan who was standing there.
"Son, the couple and others are going to the Western Regions. They must be careful on the way."
