Chapter 189: Has Juanjuan played with these small boats?
Adjutant Qi looked at him in surprise: "Commander-in-Chief, are we taking this ship back?"
"Of course I'll take them back. Also, ask these people what they can do. If they can do farm work, I'll send them to Jiang Ze when the time comes." Si Ming saw that most of these people had calluses on their hands.
I think they are used to doing farm work, so it is most appropriate for them to grow crops. It can also be regarded as a place for them to settle down.
"Yes." Adjutant Qi had someone row Liao Yong and his crew's boat and follow them back to Beiyang.
Siming returned to Beiyang City, but did not rush home. He went to the Governor's Office first.
Looking at the sand table on the table, I reached out to fold up the small boat on it, but found that the boat was a little sticky.
He picked it up and looked under the hull and found some sugar stains on it.
After recalling some things before leaving, he turned to look at Adjutant Qi: "Jianjuan has played with these small boats?"
Adjutant Qi was confused by the question, but he still recalled seriously: "I don't know if the young lady moved, but when I came in that day, she was standing on the stool and almost fell."
"Commander-in-Chief, is there anything wrong with these models?" He looked at the sand table with some confusion.
Siming held the boat in his hand in his palm and casually put it behind his back: "Nothing, just looks like it has been touched so I asked."
Adjutant Qi understood: "We agreed on the tactical deployment before and didn't touch the sand table again."
He said, looking at the slightly different colors in several places on the sand table: "Is this sand table dirty?"
"It's okay. It's time to replace this sand table. You can have someone make a new one. I'll take this old one back to Achen." Siming stopped Adjutant Qi from reaching out to wipe it.
"Okay, I'll have someone make a new one and send it over." Adjutant Qi didn't think much about it and turned around to find someone to make a new sand table.
Si Ming waited until he left, then stretched out his hands behind his back, found a wet rag, and wiped off the sugar stains bit by bit.
As he wiped it, he smiled helplessly. Thinking of the reason why Liao Kui and his crew's ship could not sail, he probably guessed it.
In the final analysis, it was his girl who helped him a lot, otherwise how could they catch these people at the lowest cost.
He wiped the sugar stains off the boat and the sandbox, and when he was ready to go back, he took the sandbox back for Si Jinchen to play with.
This sand table contains all the territories of Beiyang City, which is good for the children to memorize.
Juanjuan didn't know that Siming had returned to Beiyang City. She moved a small stool and sat at the door, looking towards the gate in the distance.
Si Jinchen also moved a stool and sat next to her: "Is Juanjuan waiting for Dad?"
"Yeah. Juanjuan misses her dad." Juanjuan looked at Si Jinchen and nodded.
"I miss Dad too. I wonder when he will be back." Si Jinchen looked outside the door worriedly.
"You two little guys, why are you sitting here?" Si Ning walked out of the house and saw two children holding their chins with their hands and looking out the door.
"Aunt, we miss dad." Juanjuan looked at her listlessly.
Si Ning adjusted her skirt, squatted between the two children, and reached out to touch their heads: "He will be back soon."
"How fast is 'very fast'?" Juanjuan blinked her big eyes curiously.
This question stumped Si Ning. How could he explain this to a child quickly?
The atmosphere at the door suddenly fell into silence.
"Juanjuan, Achen, do you want to go to the orphanage tomorrow?" Old Madam Si came out to help Si Ning out.
"Grandma, are you going to see your brothers and sisters?" Si Jinchen turned to look at her.
"Yes, I heard that someone is now teaching them literacy and crafts, so grandma plans to go and take a look. Do you want to go?" Old Lady Si walked to the two children.
"Grandma, I want to go." Juanjuan's attention was attracted by Mrs. Si.
Si Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes the questions this little guy asked really made her at a loss as to how to answer them.
Fortunately, her ideas came and went quickly.
"Aunt, is uncle coming back late again?" Juanjuan suddenly asked.
"Yes, he has something to do today and will be back very late. It's windy now, let's go back to the house!" Si Ning stretched out his hand towards her.
Juanjuan took her hand and looked up at her: "Auntie, it's going to rain heavily!"
Si Ning didn't quite understand what she meant, and his mind was full of questions.
"Is Juanjuan worried that your uncle will get caught in the rain?" Si Jinchen asked puzzledly.
"Yeah, if uncle comes back earlier, we won't get wet in the rain." Juanjuan nodded her head.
"Aunt, please ask uncle to come back earlier!" Si Jinchen held Si Ning's hand.
Si Ning was a little confused. They were inside the house and had an umbrella and a car when they went out, so how could they get wet in the rain?
But she still went to call Miao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, come back now."
Miao Jiu heard the voice on the phone: "A Ning, is something wrong?"
"It's okay, I just want you to come back now." Si Ning didn't say much.
Miao Jiu frowned slightly. He had been busy integrating the gambling houses and brothels he had just acquired.
According to Si Ning's personality, he would never let him go back for no reason.
"Okay, I'll go back now."
He hung up the phone and packed up all his things.
Looking at the person following behind him, he thought of something and threw a bag of silver dollars to him: "Brothers have worked hard recently. Take this money and go have a drink. You don't have to wait here today."
"Master Jiu, aren't these industries integrated yet?" Miao Long looked at him in confusion. According to his previous style, he would definitely sort out these industries as soon as possible.
"Don't worry. Everyone has worked hard during this period. You can go and see if there are any problems with these gambling houses and brothels." Miao Jiu picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair.
He thought about it and collected all the information, preparing to take it home and read it slowly.
"I would like to thank Master Jiu on behalf of my brother." Miao Long bowed to him.
"Okay, let everyone go!" Miao Jiu waved his hand and let him leave.
When Miao Long saw him get into the old car, he thought that everyone had left but did not turn off the lights, so he left them on.
He looked up at the starless sky. It was covered with dark clouds and the wind was getting stronger. It looked like it was going to rain heavily.
Take the brothers and leave through the small door.
What they didn't know was that not long after they left, a group of masked men in black clothes hid in the dark, carrying oil drums in their hands.
"Are you sure Miao Jiu is still in the house?"
"I've already inquired. Miao Jiu is going to deal with the gambling house and brothel that he just snatched from us today, so he won't be leaving until very late."
"The lights are still on here, he must not have left." Someone said, pointing to the brightly lit house.
"Hurry up, don't get discovered." A man glanced at the man in black behind him, unscrewed the oil barrel and ran towards the house.
