My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 154
Young Master Liu sat under the locust tree where old man An often sat, in a daze, shaking the willow branches he picked up from somewhere in his hand.

Young Master Liu was meditating, thinking about something, thinking about why he had already arrived at the border of Jinling after waking up in Jinling City all of a sudden.In the remaining consciousness, there was only a shout of "Heavenly Sword" and then there was nothing else. He flew directly into the mid-air from Murong Shan's plump arms and passed out.

How dizzy?It seemed that he was stunned by a strong air wave. After waking up, he lay in the thatched hut. Although he didn't suffer any major injuries, his body was soaked in water.

Young Master Liu really wanted to yell to the sky, this young master is provoking someone, can't he live a peaceful life?
They are all time-traveling. Others are either a marquis or a king. The worst thing is that he is a magistrate. I don’t have such a big ambition, I just want to live my life in a down-to-earth way, earn my own small money, and hug myself Why is it so difficult to tease my little Yingying?
Throwing the willow branch in his hand to the ground fiercely, Young Master Liu had a grim expression on his face: "Grandma, don't let me know what the Heavenly Sword is, or else I will never finish with you, and I will send you away thousands of miles away. Do you think you are Master Fei Patriarch?"

Young Master Liu was alone by the river, and An Gou'er came over wearing coarse sackcloth and holding a chipped porcelain bowl in his hand: "Brother Liu, I've had fish soup, and I'll be fine after drinking a few more bowls." .”

Liu Mingzhi packed his mind and turned around, looked at An Gou'er, who had a dark yellow complexion and was malnourished but with a simple air, and said with a chuckle, "Jiang He, thank you for your hard work, have you eaten yet?"

An Gou'er held the porcelain bowl in one hand and scratched the back of his head with the other, and smiled shyly, "Eat, I've already had the porridge. It's fine for the eldest brother to call me Gouzi. You are the only one in the village who is not used to calling me Jiang He." .”

Liu Mingzhi took the fish soup from An Gou's hand. To be honest, the fish in the Qinhuai River is good, pure wild yellow croaker, but An Gou'er's cooking skills are a bit unsatisfactory. There is only a fishy smell, and there is nothing in the soup. Seasoning, not even a little salt, fishy and astringent.Wash and peel the fish to remove scales and viscera and put them directly into the crock pot to cook the soup and it will come out.

Liu Mingzhi endured the discomfort of the taste, and forced himself to drink a bowl of fish soup. He had seen the meals of Old Man An's family before. An Gou'er said that he drank porridge, and those porridges were nothing more than a few grains of rice flakes floating on top of clear water. , They themselves are not willing to eat fish, but they are willing to make soup for themselves.

Liu Mingzhi secretly saw An Gou'er and An Xin chewing on the fish bones without even the slightest bit of meat for a long time. At that time, Liu Mingzhi realized that the delicacies he ate before were not as heavy as this bowl of fish soup. The slightest comparability.

Sighing secretly, Liu Mingzhi suddenly blamed himself, complaining that he always brought banknotes when he went out, disliked the burden, and now the banknotes are soaked and rotten into pieces, it doesn't look like it at all, if only he could bring a few taels of scattered silver with him .

"An Jianghe is An Jianghe. You are already thirteen. It is disrespectful to call you by your baby name. In the future, if someone calls you a dog, you should tell him that your name is An Jianghe. An is the one who has established the world and Anbang. Rivers of rivers and seas."

An Gou'er smiled shyly: "Hey, big brother speaks differently from us bumpkins."

Liu Mingzhi patted An Gou'er on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you will be the same as Big Brother in the future. You can proudly tell others that your name is An Jianghe. This is the promise that Big Brother gave you. Let's go and see your grandpa." .”

"Hey, listen to brother."

The two of Liu Mingzhi came to the thatched hut together, An Xin stood in front of the thatched hut door in coarse sackcloth, poking his head in. After hearing the footsteps, he stood aside cautiously like a frightened rabbit: "Brother, Brother Liu."

Liu Mingzhi asked kindly: "Has the doctor not come out yet?"

An Xin nodded: "No, but it's coming soon, brother Liu and grandpa will be fine, right?"

Liu Mingzhi was taken aback for a moment, thinking of Old Man An's tuberculosis, he was afraid that it would be hopeless, but he still comforted An Xin: "Don't worry, your grandpa is kind, everything will be fine."

An Xin nodded heavily and took the porcelain bowl in Liu Mingzhi's hand: "Brother Liu, I'm going to wash the dishes."

An Gouer staggered for a while: "Brother Liu, the fishing net has been repaired. I'm going to catch more fish and sell it to grandpa to get medicine. Grandpa will trouble you later."

"Be careful, don't go too far."

"Hey, I know, Brother Liu, don't worry."

Not long after An Gou'er left, a doctor with a mustache came out of the thatched hut, and Liu Mingzhi hurried forward: "Doctor, what's the matter with the old man?"

The doctor looked at Liu Mingzhi complicatedly and shook his head: "I have severe tuberculosis, and with malnutrition, I'm afraid my body won't be able to hold on anymore. It's only three to five days. Let's prepare for the funeral."

"Doctor, think of another way, just tell me what medicine you need."

The doctor sighed and shook his head and left: "The medicine stone is useless."

Liu Mingzhi got into the thatched hut with a complicated expression, his eyes darkened, and he slowly got used to it. Old man An was half lying in the weeds, pale: "Old man, how do you feel?"

Hearing the voice, old man An opened his cloudy eyes, and saw Liu Mingzhi grinning: "Brother Liu, why are you in here?"

Helping old man An to half sit up: "An Xin went to wash the dishes, Jiang He went fishing, the doctor said let me take care of you, as long as you have a good rest, you will be able to go fishing again in a few days."

The old man An sighed: "What kind of old man is the old man? The old man knows in his heart. He will live for a few days, but he just can't worry about these two children. First he lost his father, and then he lost his mother. I have suffered and suffered with the old man. The old man has no ability." , I have been busy working around for half my life and haven't left anything for his brothers and sisters, if the old man goes away, how will they live."

Old man An sighed, but his cloudy eyes looked at Liu Mingzhi with a look of expectation. He could see that Liu Mingzhi had an extraordinary background, and besides, he couldn't afford one for the rest of his life because of the robe he was wearing. , He hoped that Liu Mingzhi could give his grandchildren a way to survive.

Liu Mingzhi grabbed old man An's hand and put it in his hand: "Old man, don't worry, Jianghe Anxin brothers and sisters will be my own brothers and sisters in the future, and I, Liu Mingzhi, will not be able to starve them with a single bite."

After hearing Liu Mingzhi's promise, old man An relaxed his mind: "Brother Liu, please help the old man to sit under the old locust tree."

"Grandpa, you"

"It's been a few days. If you don't sit, you won't have a chance to sit."

Liu Mingzhi didn't know what to say, and helped old man An to walk towards the old locust tree.

Panting, old man An sat under the old locust tree, looking at the river in the distance, and quietly lost his mind: "It's time for my grandson to come back."

"Come on, come back soon."

Old man An raised his pipe again, Liu Mingzhi didn't stop him, but carefully filled a pot of tobacco leaves for him, and lit the tobacco leaves.

Old man An leaned against the old locust tree: "Brother Liu, you said that we poor people have been busy for half our lives, and we have never tasted a bite of delicious food. Why are we so busy every day?"

"Of course it's for the happiness of our children and grandchildren."

"Happiness for children and grandchildren, why isn't there such a simple requirement?"

With a clang, Old Man An's cigarette pouch fell to the ground, his pupils had lost their spirit, and his deep eye sockets were fixed on the Qinhuai River, with a trace of unwillingness on his face.

Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes and sighed fiercely, and stroked Old Man An's deep and lifeless eyes with his hands. After arranging the funeral of his grandchildren, he finally couldn't hold on anymore. It's a pity that An Jianghe hasn't returned from fishing yet.

Liu Mingzhi stood under the old locust tree with his hands behind his back and looked at the turbulent Qinhuai River: "Old man, you must have a goal in your life, and you must have a goal. You are right, what is the purpose of life? I don't know about others. Liu Mingzhi assures you that everyone in the Great Dragon Dynasty must be able to afford tea eggs."

"I promise."
