"Oh, right, your brother brought you a gift. Go down to the boat and get it later."
Jiang Xinyu said with a smile, but Wen Shishi's brows still didn't relax.
The little boy looked at Jiang Xinyu and sighed deeply.
?
? !
Jiang Xinyu looked incredulous, as this was the first time she had been ignored by such a young child.
He looked to the Song family for help, and even the taciturn Song Chengjian smiled.
"Shishi means that you should start calling her that."
Jiang Xinyu suddenly realized what was going on, found it funny, and called out to Wen Shishi.
"Shishi?"
Wen Shishi's eyes brightened, and she nodded slightly, still looking expectant.
A smile appeared on Jiang Xinyu's face as he tentatively asked, "Little sister?"
Wen Shishi nodded in satisfaction, smiling a little shyly.
Jiang Xinyu was overjoyed and wanted to pick up Wen Shishi, but first he asked his elder brother and the others for their opinions.
Seeing Song Chenghou nod, Jiang Xinyu picked up Wen Shishi, feeling incredibly excited.
He is an only child, and although he has many relatives and children, he has never felt that closeness to them.
Wen Shishi is indeed adorable, but perhaps there's also the influence of her older brothers, a case of loving someone because of their family background...
Suddenly surrounded by many relatives, Wen Shishi showed unusual affection. Jiang Xinyu excitedly hugged Wen Shishi and insisted on going aboard the boat to retrieve the gifts.
When it comes to gifts, it's not just for Wen Shishi.
Because the ship is carrying a large amount of cargo, there is limited space available...
The gift brought by Jiang Xinyu was divided into two.
Most of what was brought to the temple was flour and grain.
What they brought to the Song family was a large box of silver, iron tools, and a packet of seeds.
Jiang Xinyu explained, "These arrangements were made after my father and Uncle Qin discussed them."
My father said that if my eldest and second eldest brothers were doing well, they would definitely take care of the abbot and the monks.
Giving them money is neither safe nor very useful.
But it's quite different when it comes to the eldest and second eldest brothers.
If the ship were empty, it could have carried timber, and many other supplies...
Although the cost of supplies on the island is higher than off the island, even timber, transported by sea, is not cheap...
Father said that with this money, my brothers could buy necessities, and it might even be cheaper than if we brought them ourselves...
Iron tools are indeed scarce on the island, and they don't take up much space, so we brought some...
When the father heard that his second brother was skilled, he said that if his second brother needed anything else, he could melt it down and make it again.
If needed, I can have some more next time.
As for this packet of seeds, my father bought it from a merchant in southern Vietnam. He heard that it could be grown in barren land...
That's all for now. My father asked me to bring it all, saying that my brothers could try it.
If needed, we will try to purchase more next time.
Upon hearing this, the Song family members exchanged glances, all showing gratitude.
Song Chenghou said, "Thank you very much, Uncle, Uncle Qin, and Xinyu, for your trouble with these gifts..."
That's incredibly generous!
That's enough, there's no need to worry about us anymore!
We will make reasonable arrangements and do our best to take good care of the abbot and the monks.
The Song family are sincere people; they don't like to make promises they can't keep...
Even without the financial assistance from Master Jiang, the brothers were able to settle down on the island only because of the abbot and monks' shelter...
I will also take good care of the abbot and the other monks in the temple.
They will do everything in their power to help the fishermen and fisherwomen who assist them.
The gifts intended for the Song family were brought down by Jiang Xinyu's men.
The second brother, Song Chengjian, summoned the fourth and ninth brothers to check the surroundings separately, but they did not expect to invite trouble.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xinyu frowned slightly, but did not ask any questions immediately.
In the stillness of the night, because each courtyard was small, there was only a shared sleeping area...
Song Chenghou and Song Chengjian worried that if all the crew members disembarked, the merchant ship, laden with cargo, would be plundered by bandits...
I would like to remind Jiang Xinyu and Steward Qin to board the ship and rest off the shore.
Even though there were people on duty on the ship, the Song brothers still took turns guarding the front yard.
He not only safeguarded the merchant ships but also protected himself, thanks to the silver given to him by Jiang Xinyu.
Wen Shishi slept soundly through the night, clutching the bamboo dragonfly given to her by Jiang Xinyu.
The next morning, Jiang Xinyu knocked on the temple door and, together with Steward Qin and his men, delivered grain, flour and other supplies to the temple, preparing to set off for Haizhu Port.
Before Jiang Xinyu boarded the ship, Song Chenghou reminded him to come back first after unloading the cargo.
If it weren't for the Dong people releasing the ugly fish to cause trouble, they would already have enough sea cucumbers and golden threadfin bream for Jiang Xinyu to take back...
But they still have time; they can go to the beach a few more times before Jiang Xinyu returns!
