Chapter 19
"Ok?"

Tong Sanniang was taken aback when she heard the title 'Sister-in-law of the Li family', her eyebrows were furrowed as if she was thinking about something.

His husband's surname was indeed Li, but he died in an accident seven years ago when he went to Mangshan to search for spiritual grass, so she hadn't heard the name "Sister-in-law of the Li family" for several years.

But what made her feel even more strange was that if someone called herself 'sister-in-law', she must also be an acquaintance.

But she thought about it, looked left and right, and only felt that the person who came seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

When the visitor approached her, she frowned and asked, "Did you admit the wrong person?"

"..."

Ji Bochang also knew that it was normal for the other party not to recognize him after more than twenty years, so he asked with a smile, "Is the surname Tong of the Taoist friend? The name of the Taoist companion is Li Hongyan?"

"Yes…"

Tong Sanniang nodded, thinking that he was a friend of her late husband's acquaintance outside, she said vigilantly: "But it has been nearly seven years since my husband died, right and wrong should be cut off."

"Sister-in-law misunderstood..."

Ji Bochang changed back to his sister-in-law again, and then pointed to the small yard behind her with a smile: "More than 20 years ago, did a family named Ji live here?"

"Do you know Uncle Ji?"

After being reminded by him, Tong Sanniang seemed to have thought of something but didn't dare to confirm it, so she pointed at him and asked, "Is your surname Ji?"

"good…"

Uncle Ji often laughed in a teasing tone: "My surname is Ji, and my name is Ji Bochang. My father is Ji Pingchang. I wonder if my sister-in-law still has any memories?"

Ji Bochang's father, Ji Pingchang, made friends with a monk surnamed Li in Wuyi Lane, and the two often discussed the art of alchemy, so he often visited that Uncle Li's house when he was a child.

The family of a monk surnamed Li has a son named Li Hongyan, who is much older than Ji Bochang, and he often plays with him.

And Tong Sanniang in front of her is Li Hongyan's Taoist companion.

"Ji Bochang!?"

Tong Sanniang finally thought about why she felt that the person in front of her was familiar, but she still asked with an expression of disbelief: "Are you really Bochang?"

"If it's a fake replacement."

Uncle Ji cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law remembers me?"

"Remember!!"

Tong Sanniang seemed to have thought of something interesting, a little smile appeared on her cheeks, and she said: "I remember that you were a child when I got married to your brother Hong Yan, but you came up with a lot of tricks during the bridal chamber. Brother Hong Yan drank a lot."

"Hahaha~"

Uncle Ji often laughs out loud when he thinks of the scene at that time, and feels like the funny thing happened yesterday...

Tong Sanniang also showed nostalgia, and then sighed and said: "If your big brother Hong Yan is still there, he should be very happy to see you come back."

"..."

Ji Bochang nodded slightly, and asked casually, "Why did Brother Hong Yan leave?"

"Seven years ago, when he went to Mang Mountain to search for spiritual grass, he had an accident and died in the hands of a second-order monster."

"Sister-in-law's condolences..."

"nothing…"

Tong Sanniang just smiled indifferently, then patted her daughter's head, and said, "You can't come back to life after death, and it will be like that after a long time. It's just suffering for this child, An An."

"..."

Ji Bochang nodded slightly, looked at the little girl beside her, and asked, "Your name is Li Anan?"

Perhaps because she inherited her mother's merits, the little girl is pink and tender, with two small buns on her head. Not only does she have an excellent appearance, but what's more rare is that there is a bit of light in her brows, which is very delicate.

"Tong An'an..."

Tong Sanniang shook her head, explaining helplessly and bitterly: "Not a few years after Uncle Ji passed away, our parents-in-law also left one after another in accidents.

After your big brother Hong Yan also left, I was already unaccompanied, and Anna would still be in my stomach, and my surname would follow me after birth. "

She paused, touched her daughter's little head, and said with a smile, "I named her An'an because I hope she can grow up and become an adult safely."

"..."

Uncle Ji nodded thoughtfully, and echoed, "An'an, it's good to be safe."

"I think so…"

Tong Sanniang seemed to have thought of something, and introduced to the little girl beside her, "An An, this is your Uncle Ji, please call me Uncle Ji~"

The little girl seemed a little shy, she hid behind her mother, poked her head, and shouted timidly: "Hello, Uncle Ji~"

"Hahahaha, okay, okay."

Perhaps it was because he was already in a good mood after revisiting the old place and meeting the old man, Ji Bo often laughed sweetly at the sound of "Uncle Ji", and immediately touched the storage bag.

I wanted to wrap a red envelope as a meeting gift, but thought that the only red envelope in my storage bag was the 'dowry' from Liu's mother, so it was inconvenient to give it as a gift.

Then he seemed to think of something, and found a wooden box from the storage bag...

The middle of the tower-shaped box is hollowed out, and a few small wooden horses that can rotate are carved inside, which is very delicate.

He unscrewed the mechanism on the back, only to see that the box retracted from the top, and a rotating small wooden horse floated out, and the plectrum hidden in the box was also moved accordingly, and a very rhythmic 'jingle bell' sounded Voice.

The sound is like a wind chime swaying in the wind, or the crisp clang of a piano string, it is very pleasant...

This music box is a small gadget that he made when he was studying Yanshu. Although there is nothing special about it, the workmanship is exquisite and beautiful, and it is relatively novel. It is a suitable gift for a little girl.

Ji Bo often looked at the little girl's surprised and loving eyes, squatted down and handed over the box in his hand, and said with a smile, "This is called a music box, and it's a little gift from Uncle Ji~"

"..."

The little girl pursed her lips when she heard the words, she clearly wanted it but didn't dare to reach for it, she could only timidly mutter: "Mother said, An An can't just take other people's things."

"But didn't you just call Uncle Ji?"

"Yes…"

"Then Uncle Ji is someone else, right?"

Uncle Ji laughed and said, "You call me Uncle Ji, so this music box is a gift from Uncle Ji, so it belongs to you, not 'someone else'~"

"what……"

The little girl thought for a while but didn't go around the corner, so she had to blink her big eyes and turn her eyes for help to her mother.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Tong Sanniang couldn't see how she liked her when she saw her posture, so she immediately smiled and said: "This is a gift from Uncle Ji, accept it if you like it."

"Yeah, I like it..."

Seeing her mother speak, the little girl took the music box with a happy face, held it in her hand and looked left and right, she loved it very much.

"Thank you Uncle Ji~"

"Hey, you're welcome~"

Ji Bochang responded with a smile, and then squatted down to teach her how to turn the music box on and off.

Seeing her daughter playing with him, Tong Sanniang was all smiles, clapping her hands and exclaiming in surprise from time to time, she didn't know what she thought of, she was a little absent-minded...

After she regained her senses, she said with a smile on her cheek, "An'an, do you just let Uncle Ji play with you at the door like this?"

"hold head high?"

The little girl looked at her mother and asked in confusion, "Then where should Uncle Ji and I go?"

Tong Sanniang looked at Ji Bochang and said, "Bochang, it's rare for you to come back, why don't you go in and sit down?"

The little girl seemed to have also reacted, and muttered: "Yes, Uncle Ji is a guest, and he should go to the house to play with An An."

"This……"

Uncle Ji looked around subconsciously when he heard the words, and said pointedly: "Sister-in-law, it's not appropriate for me to go in here, is it?"

Although it is an old acquaintance of uncle and sister-in-law, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and she entered the widow's house. If someone sees it, there will inevitably be gossip...

Tong Sanniang also knew the meaning of his words, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you worried about your reputation?"

"no no…"

Uncle Ji shook his head hurriedly, and said seriously, "What reputation do I want as a big man? I'm afraid that people will see it, and it's not good for my sister-in-law..."

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"..."
