Fight the Giants

  Chapter 553 With me

   "Don't you like mandarin ducks playing in the water? How about a phoenix seeking a phoenix? Flying together?"

  Mu Yan just finished speaking when a pillow fell on him.

   didn't flash, and accepted it with a smile.

  Looking at it, she lay the pillow behind her head and lay crookedly on the imperial concubine's couch, "It's still a soft pillow, have you made it for me? Just make it the same as this one."

   "Is there a shortage of sewing girls in your house?"

   "Is that the same as what you made yourself?"

   "I'm not good at sewing."

   "I don't dislike it."

   Do you need to dislike it? Huo Xi glared at him angrily.

  Mu Yan is in a very good mood. The corners of her mouth were raised, and she closed her eyes on the imperial concubine's couch.

  This guy, do you really think this is his house?

  Just as he was about to find something to throw at him, Mu Yan opened his eyes: "Have your people told you that they may encounter some dangers when they go to Dongyang this time?"

  Huo Xi paused, and nodded with a serious expression: "I heard. Are you going to the East Line this year?"

  Now the five families are dismantled, only Langguangge and Guangfengshui went to Dongyang together. Last year, the goods they brought back were two or three times that of the past. They will be sold after a few years, and I am afraid that they can get back a lot of money.

  Huo Xi didn't want to let go of such a good business.

   "Are you willing?"

   "Am I the kind of boss who only cares about making money and ignoring people's lives?" He said, gouging out his eyes.

  Mu Yan smiled, but he was also reluctant.

   Southwest only goes out but not in, and the cost of throwing away is huge, and he has to subsidize it from other places. It's not easy to have a sea trade business in the past few years, and he doesn't need to put money in it. The money is a little looser, so how can he not be willing to do it.

   "It's just a group of Japanese pirates. Other businesses are afraid of him, but I am not." Mu Yan looked disdainful.

  A group of pirates, but relying on their familiarity with the terrain and a few more fists and kicks than the merchants, they are really nothing more than a group of mobs when they really confront our soldiers.

   Afraid of them? Nothing raised their arrogance. They should be severely suppressed and pushed into the sea to feed the fish.

  Huo Xi's eyes lit up: "Are you going to transfer people from the Southwest? How many people did your grandfather leave for you? Are you mobilizing people in the army, aren't you afraid that the superiors will stare at you?"

   "Are you worried about me?" Mu Yan frowned and looked at her jokingly.

  Huo Xi was so angry that she wished she could step forward and beat him up.

   "You are my partner now, holding 20% ​​of my shares. If something happens to you, can I be okay?"

  When Mu Yan heard this, he pretended to cover his chest with a sad face: "I thought you were worried about me."

   "Have you been replaced by someone? You don't look like you anymore." Huo Xi looked at him strangely.

   "What should I be?"

   What should it be like? Huo Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, as before, he was worried that he would not survive, so he gave her all the land deeds of Zhuangzi. His face was covered with ice, and there was no smile on his face. Is this how it should be?

  Now Huo Xi is not used to the smirking and talkative face.

  Mu Yan glanced at her, and suppressed the brilliance in her eyes, it was you, and only you, that made me not like me anymore.

"Don't worry, I know what's in my mind. After the new year, you have people selling the goods while preparing the goods to be taken to Dongyang. My people will arrive after the new year. From now on, there will always be one or two hundred returned goods on board. Veterans will also be equipped with dozens of archers."

   There is a lightness in the words.

"Although the Japanese pirates are ruthless, they would rather die than go back to live if they can't complete the mission. But my people are more effective in fighting, and they have an advantage in long-range shooting on the ship. In addition to the local cannons you made, our ship is better than the Japanese pirates. The boat is big, as long as he is expelled one step ahead, so that they don't dare to approach, there will be no danger."

  Huo Xi nodded: "Okay, this is what you said, I don't want to deal with the aftermath. Each of them has a family behind them, and I can't see those life and death."

  Mu Yan watched her tenderly. I won't let you go through life and death again.

I promise you that.

  At noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Fu came to the door again.

  Bringing a load of heavy gifts, he bowed deeply to Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi, scaring them very much.

  This is the Duke of the country. The Duke of the country bows to ordinary people like them, fearing that his life will be lost. Although I know that he is the biological father of the two children, but this is the Duke of the country.

  I wanted to help, but also thought of the poor biological mother of the two children. I didn't know how to react for a while.

   "Wen Bi appreciates the two of you for raising my son and my daughter, and I can't repay you. But if you need it, you will be smashed to pieces."

   "Grandpa, you're being polite. The two children were sent from heaven, and my husband and I treat them as if they were our own." Huo Erhuai dared not look at Zhang Fu.

  Mr. Yang looked at Zhang Fu and said, "The two children are pitiful. If my husband and I hadn't rescued them back then, they would have died long ago."

  As long as there is something wrong with the heart, how the two children will be treated is unimaginable.

  Nian'er was not yet full moon at the time, if her Saburo hadn't just passed away, she still had milk to feed him, and she might not be able to support him.

  Zhang Fu bowed deeply to the two of them again: "My child's mother and I will never forget the great kindness of you two."

   "We didn't save the two children to raise them and wait for someone to repay them. These years, they have been raised under our husband and wife's knees, and they have followed our surname, and they have long been like our own children."

   Except that the blood of their husband and wife does not flow in the blood, everything else is the same as their own.

   "I know. If it weren't for you, the two children would have passed away long ago. I have always regretted it all these years, but I never thought that my daughter was still alive. I never thought that my wife would leave me a son."

  Zhang Fu had mixed feelings, his eyes filled with tears.

   These days, it’s like a dream. Every day when I wake up from the dream, I have to ask Zhang Jin to ask if it’s true.

  Thanked again and again to the husband and wife, wishing to kneel down and kowtow to them. Zhang Fu didn't, but Zhang Jin firmly kowtowed three times for him.

  Listening to the husband and wife talking about the life of the siblings when they were young, Zhang Fu laughed and cried for a while, asking questions over and over again like never getting tired of listening...

  Early in the morning, Huo Xi took Nian'er to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Qin.

  Although the family spent New Year's Eve together, Huo Nian was Qin Changzhi's disciple, so he had to pay a solemn visit.

  After the visit, they didn’t stay with Yang Fu. The two siblings, plus a little tail, An An, went to their home hand in hand.

  Just after entering the door, I was told that a guest had come to the door.

  Huo Xi looked down at Huo Nian.

  Huo Nian squeezed his fingers, then looked up at Huo Xi: "Did uncle come to see me?"

   "Uncle? Who is Uncle?" An An also looked up at Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi was still thinking about what to tell Huo Nian, so An An dragged his brother and ran forward, "There are guests, here are the guests!" Huo Xi trotted and followed.

  Seeing the two children running into the hall, Zhang Fu stood up excitedly, keeping his eyes on Huo Nian.

  Huo Nian put his hands behind his back and clenched them.

   Before he could react, An An ran towards Zhang Fu: "Are you brother's uncle, and An An's uncle too?"

  Zhang Fu hurriedly reached out to catch him, and looked down at him. The child looked at him with big eyes, which made Zhang Fu feel soft.

   "Yes, you have to call me Uncle."

   "Does Uncle have lucky money?"

  Zhang Fu couldn't help laughing: "Yes. If you call Uncle, you will be given a big lucky red envelope." It seems that such a clean, pure, lively and lovely child can only be seen in ordinary people's homes.

   "Uncle!"

   "Hey." Zhang Fu responded loudly. Sure enough, he took out a big red envelope from his pocket and handed it to him, which made An An very happy.

   "Call me Uncle, and I'll give you a big lucky red envelope too." Zhang Jin teased him.

   "Uncle!" Ann called again.

   Calling Uncle more, An An has no burden at all, and got another big red envelope from Zhang Jin. I was so happy that I wanted to jump on the ground twice.

   "Nian'er..." Zhang Fu looked at Huo Nian who was standing in the middle of the hall, there was tension in his eyes that he didn't realize.
