Chapter 53 Please taste it carefully!
To be honest, in Yu Sanbao's opinion, Bo Ge'er is not very noticeable among his nephews and nephews.
My oldest nephew, Yu Yonghuai, is thirteen years old now, and he has unparalleled strength. He is only a teenager now, but he can already lift things with his bare hands that would take two adults to lift. I dare not even think about what he will be able to do when he grows up.
His third nephew, Yu Yongliu, is only ten years old this year. He is very smart and quick-witted. He has only learned Chinese from him for half a year, but now he knows much more than him. He feels inferior to him.
My fourth nephew, Yu Yonggui, is only seven years old this year, but he is very clever and eloquent, and he looks like he will have great potential in the future.
As for his Orange Brother, he is too young and a little bastard, so nothing can be seen for the time being.
Bo Ge'er, who is neither in the middle nor in the middle, usually follows behind Huai Ge'er and does not attract much attention.
Now that Bo Ge'er suddenly came to him alone, Yu Sanbao was surprised, but also somewhat touched by Bo Ge'er's courage.
He laughed and patted Bo Ge'er on the shoulder: "Want to go to the state capital with your uncle? It's no problem with your uncle. But you have to ask your grandpa and grandma and your parents first. If they agree, I will take you there tomorrow."
When Bo Ge'er heard this, he smiled confidently: "Okay, with Uncle San's words, it will be easy!"
Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu took Xingxing out for a walk to help digest their food. It took Brother Bo a long time to find them.
"Grandpa and grandma!" Bo Ge'er greeted them with a smile, "Uncle San said he would take me to the state capital to broaden my horizons, but he was afraid you wouldn't agree, so he asked me to ask you."
Mrs. Wei was a little surprised: "Why are you going to the state capital for no reason? It's not close."
Obviously he doesn't agree.
After all, Bo Ge'er is only eleven years old this year, so it is understandable that Mrs. Wei is worried.
Bo Ge'er said, "Grandma, I'm not young anymore. Other people are already apprentices in shops when they are eleven or twelve years old. I heard that when my third uncle was in his early teens, he went out to hang out. Although I am younger than my third uncle at that time, I also have an advantage. I have my third uncle to take care of me, which is better than me going out to see the world by myself, right?"
Xingxing didn't quite understand what was said, but this didn't stop her from nodding her head in support of her second brother: "Grandma, Xingxing thinks what second brother said makes a lot of sense! It's better to have Third Uncle lead us out than for second brother to go out alone in the dark, right?"
Xingxing spoke in an orderly manner, and Boger secretly gave Xingxing a thumbs up.
Xingxing was very happy!
Xing Xing was so happy that she hugged Grandma Wei's thighs and acted coquettishly: "Grandma, just agree to my second brother. Grandma~"
Mrs. Wei showed a hesitant look on her face.
Bo Ge'er also took advantage of the situation and said, "Grandma, we are going to the state capital. We will be back in a few days. With Uncle San taking care of us, what do you have to worry about? Besides, I have some strength. If anything happens, Uncle San and I can look after each other. Isn't that good?"
Plus Xing Xing kept saying, "Grandma, grandma~"
Mrs. Wei simply couldn't resist.
She shook her head helplessly and turned to look at Old Man Yu.
Old Man Yu smiled and said, "You don't have to look at me. I think it's pretty good that Bo Ge'er has such determination and courage at such a young age."
Mrs. Wei finally relented: "Okay! Then tell your parents. If they agree, you can leave with your uncle tomorrow."
Bo Geer jumped up in joy, fearing that Mrs. Wei might change her mind, and ran back: "I'll go and tell her right away!"
…
Bo Ge'er rushed into the main room on the east side of their house excitedly: "Dad, Mom!"
Li Chunhua was sewing under the lamp. When she heard this, she raised her head and asked, "What's the matter, kid?"
Bo Ge'er grinned and said, "My grandpa and grandma told me to go to the state capital with my uncle tomorrow!"
Li Chunhua was startled, and the needle almost stabbed her hand: "Why did your grandparents suddenly ask you to go with them? How old are you? ... No, I have to go talk to your grandparents."
Li Chunhua became anxious and was about to get off the kang.
Bo Ge'er had anticipated Li Chunhua's reaction. He grabbed Li Chunhua and said, "Mom, you are stupid. Grandpa and grandma asked me to go to the state capital with my third uncle to sell pearls because they valued our eldest wife. Otherwise, why didn't grandpa and grandma let the smarter Liu Ge'er go with us?"
Bo Ge'er said silently in his heart, I'm sorry, third brother. It was not my intention to step on you. You are the recognized smart kid in the family.
Li Chunhua was stunned when she heard this.
It seems to make some sense.
Li Chunhua was skeptical: "...Is this really what your grandpa and grandma meant?"
Bo Ge'er patted his chest and said, "Of course it's true. Grandpa and grandma want me to go out with Uncle San to gain some experience and see the world! Selling pearls! Such an important matter! Grandpa and grandma want me to follow Uncle San! ... Mother, what does this mean? Think about it carefully!"
Following Bo Ge'er's suggestion, Li Chunhua thought more and more that it was true - her parents-in-law valued her little son!
Li Chunhua's eyes gradually lit up.
Bo Geer looked at Yu Daniu again: "Dad——"
Yu Daniu nodded sternly: "Okay, since your grandpa and grandma said so, then you can go with them."
Li Chunhua also nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, go ahead! ... I'll go pack two sets of clothes for you so you can change them on the way!"
Boger looked calm on the outside, but he was extremely excited in his heart!
Okay, all done!
The next day, Bo Ge'er followed Yu Sanbao and went out with his bag before dawn.
It was the first time for her eleven-year-old son to go away from home, so Li Chunhua was inevitably a little distraught.
Sometimes I couldn't help but stand at the wooden gate and look into the distance.
Bai Xiaofeng privately told Yu Erhu sourly that his sister-in-law was almost standing like a stone waiting for her son.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. On the fourth day, Yu Sanbao and Bo Ge'er returned exhausted.
It was obvious that the two men had been in a hurry. They looked weather-beaten, their faces were sunburned, and their clothes were covered with dust.
Xingxing was playing sandbags with Ju Ge'er under the elm tree in front of the Yu family's house. When she saw Yu Sanbao and Bai Ge'er coming back, she shouted with joy and ran over.
"Third uncle, second brother!"
Xing Xing called in a baby voice, rushed to Bo Ge'er with her short legs, then jumped up with all her strength and landed on Bo Ge'er!
Although Bo Ge'er looked thinner, he was very energetic, with bright eyes and a strong spirit. He hugged Xing Xing and said, "Sister Xing Xing!"
Xing Xing hugged Boger's neck and looked him up and down. Seeing that Boger was in very good condition, she grinned.
Ju Ge'er ran slower and fell behind. Seeing Bo Ge'er holding Xing Xing, he became jealous and scratched Xing Xing's face with his fingers: "Are you ashamed? Second brother ran such a long way, and you still let him hold you!"
