Chapter 659 I'm the one who's most like my eldest uncle!
When the performance on stage was coming to an end, Lao Shi finally hunched over and sat down.
Lao Shi nodded to Li San Niang, who was looking at her, without saying anything.
Li San Niang looked towards the southwest corner and saw that the short, fat man was gone. She guessed that he must have been captured by the spies of the Bad People.
However, in the short span of half an hour, thanks to the skylights on all sides of the room, the sweet, cloying smell had dissipated to almost nothing after the short, stout man left.
Li San Niang reached out and pinched her brow to relax her expression. Today was the Lantern Festival, and there were still dewdrops on her skin; she couldn't spoil everyone's fun.
After watching the performance, everyone stood up and left in an orderly manner under the guidance of the troupe members.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lao Shi and Qiu Xiang had a chat. Then Qiu Xiang returned to Li San Niang's side, lowered her head and whispered quickly into Li San Niang's ear, "That person has been brought to the stronghold here. San Niangzi, do you want to go see him now?"
still? "
Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang both looked at Lu Zhu'er in Li San Niang's arms. Lu Zhu'er was currently licking a candy in her hand.
Li San Niang sighed, "Let's talk about it when we get back to the Li family. The Lantern Festival only comes once a year, and it's not easy to get out and have some fun."
Qiu Xiang understood perfectly. She turned around and gestured to Lao Shi, who was looking in their direction.
The tenth brother saw it, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
After the Li family members all came out with the flow of people, the tenth brother made a gesture to a woman outside who was selling baked buns with a basket and wearing a headscarf, then stopped and ignored her.
The woman selling baked buns saw Lao Shi's gesture but acted as if she hadn't seen it, and continued to sell her baked buns along the street.
Unbeknownst to Li San Niang and the others, the woman strolled leisurely down the street, making several turns before arriving at the back door of a house. After knocking three times and two times, the door opened a crack, and the two exchanged a secret signal before the woman was allowed to enter.
"Let's move. Old Ten's idea is that Li San Niangzi won't be free until tonight."
Across from him was a very thin old man. The old man didn't respond to what he was saying, but just nodded to indicate that he understood.
Then the old man went back into the house. The woman straightened her headscarf, carefully opened the door, and seeing that no one was outside, she quickly came out with her basket.
Li San Niang was naturally unaware of all this. She wouldn't know that among those monitored by the Bad People, the level that Mr. Bu Ke had assigned her was the highest.
Moreover, in terms of security, the people protecting Li San Niang in the shadows are of the highest level, even more than the number of people accompanying Mr. Bu Ke when he travels.
Of course, on the surface, the only people protecting Li San Niang were Qiu Xiang, who acted as a disciple, and Lao Shi Er, who acted as a groom.
After leaving the opera troupe, the Li family found a restaurant and shared four tables for lunch.
After the meal, everyone sat down to rest and drink tea, discussing what they had seen at the acrobatic troupe. Although Li Sanniang was anxious about the opium, she forced herself to participate in the discussion. After all, at least the people were under control now, so there was no use in worrying.
"...In the freezing cold, even indoors, people don't wear clothes."
"However, the men from the Western Regions are indeed more robust than us Central Plains people."
Upon hearing this, Li Sanniang laughed and replied, "Haha, they eat a lot of meat and exercise regularly, so they are indeed more robust."
However, a soldier like my elder brother is certainly stronger than them.
Brother Li was holding Little Six at the moment when, unexpectedly, Third Sister Li turned the conversation to herself.
"This is probably related to bloodline; people from their region are generally taller and larger than those from the Central Plains."
Kogoro replied, "Then I will definitely grow tall. I am closest to my uncle, so I will definitely grow tall and strong like him!"
"My uncle and I are the closest; he likes me the most!"
Xiao Silang was not to be outdone by Xiao Wulang. Not content with just saying that, he went straight between Sister-in-law Li and Brother Li, craning his neck and looking at Xiao Wulang with a smug expression.
Seeing this scene, Li San Niang couldn't help but find it amusing and laughed out loud. Lu Zhu'er was not to be outdone. She also got off the ground, ran to Li Da Sao's side, and said to Xiao Wu Lang opposite them, "My uncle and aunt love me the most. I am the one who looks most like my uncle. I will listen to my mother, eat more and sleep more, and I will definitely grow up to be as tall as my uncle in the future!"
Even the dewdrops have joined the fray, which has made Xiao Wulang, who is sitting next to Li Erxiong, extremely anxious. The child is so anxious that he doesn't know how to say anything properly.
Mr. and Mrs. Li found it amusing to see all the children in their family going to find their eldest brother, Mr. Li.
Brother Li was very happy. Although he was usually busy with his duties, whenever he was home, he would always spend a good amount of time playing with the children.
Not to mention, besides Li's mother, the main person in charge of disciplining the children at home was Li's second brother.
In order to discipline his children, Li Erxiong was naturally quite strict with them and had many demands. If the children made a mistake, he would hit their palms with a tree branch.
When these children were young, whenever Brother Li was home, he would play with them. Brother Li was strong, and every child in the family, from Li Dalang to the young Xiao Wulang, had played games like flying high with him.
In that case, which child in the family wouldn't like Brother Li?
"Haha, haha, good, good, they are all my good children."
Then, Sister-in-law Li took Xiao Liulang from Brother Li's arms. Luzhu climbed onto Brother Li's left side, and Xiao Wulang, not to be outdone, climbed onto Brother Li's right side. Xiao Silang, who had grown quite a bit, saw this and quickly climbed onto Brother Li's back.
That's great! Three children are crawling on Brother Li's six-foot-tall body, which looks quite festive.
After laughing and joking enough, the Li family members discussed going their separate ways. Li's father and mother wanted to go to a teahouse to listen to storytelling, and Li San Niang asked Lu Zhu'er what she wanted to do.
"Mother, Pearl wants to see the monkeys."
Upon hearing this, Kogoro hugged Li Da Xiong's neck and said to Li's father, "Grandpa, Grandpa, you promised me you'd go see the monkeys!"
Finally, everyone went to see the monkey show together before splitting up: some went to teahouses to listen to storytelling, some went to restaurants to listen to music, and others went shopping to see the show.
Li San Niang, along with Lu Zhu'er, Qiu Xiang, and Lao Shi, stayed with Li's parents. The group went to a teahouse to listen to storytelling until evening, when they finally headed to the restaurant they had arranged to meet earlier.
