"You are a grown-up girl now and can make your own decisions. Since you have made up your mind, your uncle will not stop you."
Seeing that his niece had arranged everything, Zhang Guo nodded and left.
Although I still feel a little uncomfortable, what else can I do but endure what cannot be changed?
Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh and blood. Jiang Li insisted on making such a choice, and as his uncle he could only support him from behind.
After dinner, the team leader and his wife came over. It turned out that after the team leader went back and heard what his wife said about this matter, he was still a little worried, so he came to visit them specially.
Jiang Li invited the captain and his wife in, and the couple sat upright in their chairs.
The captain cleared his throat and organized his words before speaking: "Jiang Li, do you really have to go and take care of your sister's matter yourself?"
"Actually, you can ask your uncle or someone reliable in our village to help you with this matter. Given your family's situation, it's really not suitable for you to travel far."
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm afraid that if something happens to a little girl like you running around outside, we won't be able to help you even if we want to!"
"I can see that your life is getting better and better. The villagers like you more and more. Your brother's studies are getting on track, and your two children are growing up healthily."
"Although everyone is worried about your sister not being able to find her, you are just a little girl. You have never been far away. How could you run to such a far place like the Northeast? It's very cold there in the winter. Don't let yourself get frozen to death!"
The captain is usually taciturn, but today he couldn't help but say so many words in one breath.
He felt like he was nagging like an old mother. The main reason was that the two children were too young and had always been breastfed by Jiang Li. How could they adapt to being away from their mother?
Moreover, it is very likely that one of the two children is his mother's reincarnation, although there is no big problem in helping to take care of him.
But his wife is alone after all. Taking care of two children at once is hard work. What if something unexpected happens and she doesn't take good care of them? Who can bear it then?
"Captain, Aunt Yao, I understand what you're saying, but my sister was abducted and taken so far away by human traffickers. I'm also worried that she won't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and I'm even more afraid that she'll be abused!"
"My sister is still young and naive, but she has to endure so much. As her older sister, I feel bad."
Although this was done by the original owner, she cannot sit idly by now because she is carrying her name.
"If you can't take care of both children by yourself, then leave one with me and Jiang Yi."
At the critical moment, it was the uncle who spoke and supported Jiang Li.
With the support of his uncle, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The captain came here this time not only because he was worried about the two children, but also because he was worried about Jiang Li's safety.
If he hadn't been busy distributing food to everyone recently and had too many things to do, he would have wanted to accompany Jiang Li on the trip himself.
"Well, since you've already made your decision, it's superfluous for me to say anything more. Take these two; they'll be useful on the road."
The captain took out two things from his pocket, and Jiang Li took them with a puzzled look. Among them were several letters of introduction, with the address left blank and even the date not filled in.
In other words, with these letters of introduction, Jiang Li can use them wherever he wants to go by simply filling in the address and date.
The captain also gave him a dagger. This dagger was well-made and made of fine steel. Although it could not cut iron like mud, it could cut ordinary ropes and cloth with a light stroke, so it was considered a good knife.
"Thank you, Captain, and thank you, Aunt Yao."
Jiang Li bowed deeply to the two men. The two middle-aged men in front of him were no less handsome than his own parents.
They could bear this bow, so Yao Qiaoyun quickly stopped them.
"How about I stay here tonight? I'll sleep on the same bed with you, and I'll take care of the kids at night. I can spend some time with them so they don't cry all day tomorrow."
Yao Qiaoyun had good intentions, and Jiang Li understood it all. She nodded and did not refuse.
"Then I'll trouble you, Aunt Yao."
Yao Qiaoyun stayed there that night, saw off the team leader Jiang Li, and started to boil water to give the children a bath.
It is very inconvenient to bathe children in winter, and they must keep warm every time they bathe.
Jiang Li usually burns a pot of firewood in the room, so that the house will be warm.
The wooden basin was filled with hot water, and the wooden barrel next to it was also filled with hot water.
If the water temperature is too low during the bathing process, immediately scoop some hot water and add it in so that the children will not get cold while taking a bath.
With the help of Aunt Yao, the two children took a comfortable hot bath, and Aunt Yao didn't have to give them a bath for the next week.
Jiang Li explained to her in detail the precautions for making milk powder, how children usually dress, and some of their living habits, and judged their needs based on their little expressions.
Jiang Li explained every detail clearly, no matter how big or small.
Yao Qiaoyun nodded after listening to this. Jiang Li's words showed that she was really taking care of the child with great care.
She has also seen the changes in her during this period. Jiang Li is really taking care of the child seriously.
If she hadn't been going on a long trip this time, she probably wouldn't have entrusted the child to her.
At night, Aunt Yao slept in the same bed with them. When the children woke up at night, Aunt Yao took care of them except for feeding them.
Maybe it was because Aunt Yao had taken care of them before, the two children were very well-behaved in front of her, and they cooperated very well whether it was helping her pee or changing her diapers.
The next morning, Jiang Li got up early to prepare breakfast, but he didn't expect that his younger brother had already cooked porridge and was now chopping side dishes with great effort.
"Sister, you're going on a long journey, so you should lie down and rest for a while. Leave the housework to me."
Jiang Yi pushed his sister back to rest. Jiang Li nodded and went back to lie down for a while.
In the morning they drank white rice porridge with rice cakes and ate eggs. Jiang Yi took out a dozen boiled eggs.
"Sister, these eggs are for you to eat on the way. And this thermos contains the food I prepared so that you won't go hungry on the train."
Before Jiang Li even left the house, her brother had already made such arrangements. The child has grown up. On the surface, she is taking care of him, but in fact, her brother has also contributed a lot to this family.
"Jiang Yi, thank you."
Jiang Li had his own space, so the lunch bucket wouldn't be a problem for him, so he happily accepted his brother's kindness.
Jiang Li packed up her things and went down the mountain. Jiang Yi saw his sister off and went to the village office with a piece of paper with Teacher Shen's phone number written on it.
His sister had already left, so he called Teacher Shen right away, hoping it was still in time.
