Chapter 199: Unexpected Reunion

out and see the world. Only then will we realize how wonderful our Tianwu is!"Jia Yin leaned out the window, straining to see what was outside. The Lord Hou worried she might fall, so he held her wai...The streets of the small town were very clean, with houses lined up neatly side by side. 。A few streets behind are residential areas, and just across the road from the academy is a bustling commercial street. You can find all sorts of shops there: restaurants, bookstores, fabric stores, general merchandise stores, teahouses, dim sum parlors, and more—a veritable smorgasbord of options. 。Jia Yin was leaning against her older brother, one moment wanting a snack, the next wanting to buy a little wood carving, excited like a mouse that had fallen into a rice vat. 。Dong Mei wanted to pay with silver, but Jia Huan stopped her and chuckled, "Aunt Mei, Grandma gave me some change before we left." 。Jia Yin didn't ask for anything precious, just a few copper coins was enough to make her eyes light up with joy. 。After strolling around for half an hour, Li Lao Si and the others hadn't come out yet. Jia Yin wanted to go down and rest. 。Just west of the commercial street there's a food stall, with a sign that reads "Dumplings and Wontons". 。Jiahuan then led her younger sister inside and ordered three bowls of wontons. 。The boss was sitting behind the counter, drowsy. Hearing the commotion, he quickly got up and went to wrap dumplings and boil water. 。Jia Yin pretended to be naughty and played around the house. She saw that there was a layer of dust on the table in the corner, and the chair leg was broken and never repaired. She knew what was going on. 。As expected, when the wontons were served, both Dongmei and Jiayuan ate them with furrowed brows. 。It wasn't that they had grown accustomed to Tao Hongying's cooking and become picky eaters, it was simply that these dumplings were just average. 。Jia Yin only tasted one bite and put down her spoon, unwilling to compromise her own stomach. 。She leaned in close to her brother's ear and whispered a few words. 。The family hesitated, but still asked the boss, "Boss, is your shop rented or owned Are you willing to sell it" The boss's eyes lit up at once. "This shop is rented by me, but it's too remote, not many people come here to eat, and I really regret it... 。You're asking this, wanting to recall the past That's wonderful! This place isn't suitable for selling food, but setting up a bookstore or a general store would definitely work. 。" Jia Huan smiled amiably and replied, "My family runs a general store. When my older brother came to study here, he thought about opening a store as well to look after each other." 。"Yes, yes, that's best." 。"The boss was even more excited, "Most of the shops on this street started out like that." 。The young master of the house is studying at the academy, so his steward has opened a shop here to take care of things. 。After that, he looked at Jiāhuān. Seeing that his clothes were ordinary and he wasn't very old, he felt a little disappointed and lost interest in talking. 。At that moment, Jia Yin extended her small hand and waved it, the golden bell jingled. The boss was momentarily taken aback but quickly recovered his enthusiasm. 。“My shop rents for 100 taels of silver per year for three years, but it's only been open for three months. There are two and a half years left. If your family rents it, I'll give it to you... for 80 taels!” The boss gritted his teeth, looking very pained, “80 taels is a good deal, I'm losing money, really can't go any lower.” 。Jia Huān of course couldn't make the decision, so he vaguely replied, "I'll go back and discuss it with my family. If they agree, I'll come back to talk to the boss in detail." 。" The boss was disappointed, but still said, "Okay, little brother, you must come earlier." 。I will release the news tomorrow, and I'm afraid many people will come to rent. 。By the time you arrive, it may no longer be here. 。"

If it were the past, Jia Huan might have believed 。But since he had been working in the Hot Springs Valley for so long, he had learned a lot by observing and listening. He was no longer the naive boy he once was. 。So, he didn't say much either. He paid for the wontons and then walked away with his sister. 。At this time, Lao Si Li and Jia Yi finally came out. Both of them had faces full of excitement. 。Li Laosì said, "The scenery in the academy is simply too good, and the teacher is also very amiable. We couldn't help but stroll around for a while." 。As it was getting late, Jiahuan and Dongmei had already eaten, so Jiayi went out to buy a dozen meat buns. They divided them up simply, and everyone ate while walking home. 。Jia Yin held a bun, taking bite after bite, savoring the sweetness. Thinking back to the shop earlier, she felt everything was just right. 。This place is almost fifty miles from home, Big Brother is alone here. If something happens, the family won't even know. 。If I could open a food stall, not only would there be another source of income for the family, but I could also keep an eye on my elder brother. 。As for the chef, we have a perfect candidate. Brother Jiahuan is talented and enjoys cooking. He would be more than capable of taking on the role of head chef. 。If we also brought along Uncle Three and Aunt Three to help out, it would be perfect. 。The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She munched on her steamed bun and giggled, which made everyone curious, but they couldn't help but smile along with her. 。On the other side of the hot spring valley, Lao Er Li finally waited for Wang Yuanwai. He hid behind and gave the registration job to Liu's wife, then flew home to report the news. 。Li Laotai and Li Laosan, the husband and wife, arrived at the valley. Tao Hongying pointed to inside and whispered, “Big brother only brought a five or six-year-old boy, and a pair of middle-aged servant couple went in, living in the second wooden house on the left.” 。...Jiā'ān Jiāxǐ had already led them to the side of the pond, wondering if they would be able to see...

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood. 。After waiting for so many years, when it was finally time to recognize each other, Li Laotai felt her legs go weak. She leaned on her daughter-in-law and sat down, then shooed Li Lao San 。Your second older brother can't go there again, you should go and see. 。Home safety and happiness depend on careful consideration, one cannot be hasty in making decisions. 。Li Laosan readily agreed to go. Tao Hongying was afraid that the old woman would faint, so she pulled over a basket of wild vegetables. 。"Mom, help me pick some, I'll mix them later and make a dish to give as a gift at noon." 。We wouldn't be surprised if these visitors from the city preferred to eat... 。" Li Laotai understood her daughter-in-law's kindness and picked a wild vegetable, slowly peeling off the withered leaves. 。But her eyes still couldn't help but keep looking at the valley, often plucking off tender leaves. 。Time seemed to crawl by, each moment stretching like an hour, a year even. It felt like an eternity waiting, but finally Li Laosan came out with his family. 。Li Laosan's eyes were red, and he choked up as he said, "Mother, the birthmark is right, it's big brother, it's my elder brother!"Li Lao stared for a moment, then burst into tears, "This unfilial son, he still knows to show his face! I've waited so many years, fearing something might happen to him outside..." 。I'll burn paper for your father, so that when he sees his son in a dream, he'll ask him to help me. 。"But your dad doesn't even dream about you, boo hoo!"

The Li family members were all wiping their tears. Don't look at them at home on weekdays, the old woman can't even hear her eldest son's name, as if she hates him so much. In fact, she just cares too much and is hurt too deeply!

A mother, who doesn't think about her sons or feel sorry for them!

"Mother, are we going to recognize our eldest brother" Li Lao San rubbed his hands, a little anxious.

Go and invite Dr. Zhang, have him take a look at your elder brother first. 。"Lao Li wiped her tears, "Your eldest brother got hurt and doesn't recognize us. Even if we want to get to know each other again, it won't work." 。Everyone nodded their heads, and Lao San Li was about to rush back to the village. As a result, as soon as he pushed the door open, he was startled and quickly retreated. 。"Mother, Big brother...Big brother is here!""What" Everyone was both surprised and delighted, not knowing what to do. 。Old Li could not bear it any longer. She stumbled and pushed the door open before rushing out. 。Mr. Wang was enjoying himself immensely while his son was soaking in the hot springs. He went to Gu Kou to inquire about how he could hire a divine physician. 。As soon as the result got close, an old woman rushed out of the house and almost tripped in front of him. 。He instinctively reached out to help, and was about to speak, but saw that the old woman had tears streaming down her face as she looked at him. 。

His heart felt like it had been slashed by a knife, and his head throbbed as if it would explode!
