Chapter 59 Who's Girl

"Yuanxiu, don't run beside the boat, you won't be able to catch it if you fall."

"Are there water ghosts under the boat that eat children?"

Li Chong sat on the bow of the boat next to his third sister, and his second brother Zhixin sat next to him.

"Xiaoxia, come and sit down." Li Chong took the uncle's daughter who was behind him and instructed the three children tirelessly.

"It's very deep under the water. Don't run around on the boat if you have nothing to do. Also, when you go to a big city, you must remember that you must not run out of the house without permission to let your parents not find you. There is no way home, if you want to go out, you must bring your parents to accompany you, you know?"

"Outside, there are some bad guys who specialize in catching children. If you are caught by them, you will never go home again. When you are in a big city, you must not pick up strangers, let alone eat their food. It is important to go out. Do you know that you are holding on to your parents' hands tightly?"

"Well, I, we know."

The boat sailed between the waterways, entered the canal from Dutian, and set foot on Nanjing City from Lin's wharf in two days.

Li Chong hailed two rickshaws parked beside the wharf road, helped him to drag the luggage, and walked on the way into the city. Along the way, the inner cognition of his parents and younger siblings was constantly improving.

"Brother, is that the iron lump that can run by itself?" Second brother Zhixin and third sister Yuanxiu said while watching the "beep, beep, beep" cars on the road, dancing and kicking up dust all the way.

"In front is the capital of our entire country, and all the high officials in this country live behind this circle of city walls." Li Chong said, pointing to the tall and large city gates ahead.

After entering the city, the second younger brother and third younger sister crowded beside their parents and came out of their mother's womb. The two of them had never seen such a bustling and crowded scene on the same road, surrounded by strangers, no matter how clever the two were, The villain is also feeling a little apprehensive at the moment.

Chen Yueying, the mother who stayed at home for half her life as a good wife, also walked behind her father with her head bowed. Li Chongxian took the family to the hotel at the intersection to rest.Li Chong is used to taking boats often, but the people in his family have never traveled such a long distance, and their faces are full of fatigue, so they found a hotel to take a good rest, because the next few days will take the train to Wuhan , and finally go up to Chongqing by boat along the river.There, Uncle Xiaotong and Shunsheng were waiting at any time.

Of course, if you have a huge sum of money and a background, you can go by plane, but obviously your family doesn't belong to this category now.As early as 35 years ago, there were two domestic civil aviation companies in Nanjing City, China Airlines and Eurasia Airlines, but the price was beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy businessmen.Take BJ to Shanghai, which is also over 2000 kilometers away, as an example. The one-way fare of China Airlines is [-] yuan per person!The key point is that these planes are all light planes with a maximum of [-] to [-] seats. They carry very little weight and can’t carry much fuel. They also can’t support a one-time flight of [-] kilometers. They must land and refuel halfway, which is also time-consuming.

But the most important thing is money. 2000 yuan is just a head fee, and my parents, second brother and third sister, Xiaoxia's daughter, Hang Seng, and maid Xiaoliu, a total of seven people, are far away. I can't sit still.So if you don’t have enough money, you can only make up time. Take the train first and then board the boat. Although it takes some time, it is the most economical way after all.

"It's so high up here!" The second brother Zhixin pushed open the window on the third floor and looked out of the window with his feet on his feet. The younger sister Yuanxiu danced with only a little hair sticking out.

"Brother, hurry up and pick me up, I can't see it." The third sister Yuanxiu turned her head and shouted to Li Chong who was behind.After fulfilling his wish, he put his little hand on the wooden window sill and suddenly asked in a childlike voice, "Brother, is our house in Chongqing also this tall?"

"As for the house in Chongqing, Uncle Xiaotong has already bought it. It is a two-story building next to the mountain. If you count the roof, it is also a small three-story building. Then you will have your own independent room, and you will not be able to share a room with your parents in the future. myself."

"I can have my own room now! Huh? Brother, I saw the iron lump you said can run by itself. Where is the iron box that smokes like a big earthworm?"

"That's called a train. You'll have to take the train when you go south."

"What about the smoke boat?"

"In the end, I will also take a boat..."

The third sister is at the age of exuberant curiosity, and everything she looks and touches can become a question, Li Chong answered it tirelessly.As I asked, the little girl in my arms lost her voice and breathed evenly. She was alive and kicking just now, but now she was tired and fell asleep.

Li Chong lightly carried the little girl to the bed, and then closed the door behind her.

Father Li Derun stepped forward, "Chong'er, come with me for a walk?" Li Derun is a traditional scholar who has never been out of Taicheng, and his impression of big cities like Nanjing and Shanghai on the land is only the description in the book , now that they have all come to the capital, Li Derun certainly wants to see a circle and verify what he read in the book and his past imagination.

In fact, in the heart of every dull house, there is more or less a heart to walk the world with a sword. Father Li Derun's book desk will never lack a copy of "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes".

"Okay." Li Chong nodded.

The father and son came out of the hotel, walked through Xuanwu Lake, and came to the historically famous Shili Qinhuai River. Li Chong did not need to introduce these places. As old-fashioned as I thought, but very insightful.

It was already late before the father and son returned to the hotel with three salted ducks wrapped in oil paper. At eight o’clock, the city of Nanjing was brightly lit up, and the scene of thousands of lights in the city, which had never been seen in the countryside, made the father Deeply shocked, he raised his neck and wrote a few poems. From Wang Anshi's "Cars and horses are in the same day" to "Thousands of lights and nights", the quality of poems made Li Chong feel ashamed.

"Ah, ah, what an embarrassment." The mother's familiar voice came from upstairs.

Li Chong and his father looked at each other. There must be no relatives or acquaintances in this Nanjing family. Who is mother Chen Yueying talking to?The chat was very lively.

But after taking a few steps up the stairs, Li Chong's instant reaction came from the familiar voice: Lin Wanru, how did she come here?

"You father and son knew you were coming back after playing." Mother Chen Yueying pointed to the watch on her wrist, and blamed the two for not knowing to come back after dark, and then said, "I don't even know there are guests."

The first time Li Derun saw Lin Wanru, he subconsciously thought, "Whose girl is this, she is so pretty, she is more 'tong' than the woman I have been trying to find for my son!"

The second reaction was "No wonder the eldest son has always been interested in the family's introduction, so he met someone here."
