Chapter 169: Just Think of It as an Outing
Old Mrs. Xu thought about it over and over again and felt uneasy. In the end, she felt more at ease if Xu An was taken with her.
"Grandma, I want to go too!" When Xu Feng heard Grandma Xu asking Xu An to go with her, he immediately jumped out to say that he wanted to go too!
"What are you going to do? You can't help!"
"Who said that? I can do arithmetic! I can do all the arithmetic my second sister taught me. I can help my second sister keep accounts!"
"Your second sister can do the accounting herself, there's no need for you to do it!"
"Why? Why can big brother go?" Xu Feng was about to make a fuss.
"Your big brother can protect himself, but you can't!"
"Why can't I do it!" When it comes to his little man's dignity, how can Xu Feng admit that he can't do it!
Xu Ning looked at Xu Feng with amusement, and had no intention of speaking for him. Finally, Xu An stood up and said, "Grandma, I am the eldest grandson in the family. Logically, I should go this time. Second sister and Xiaobao should stay at home. If our family had not experienced the famine, this is what I would think."
"But grandma, instead of going out, I would rather stay by your side to take care of you and grandpa, and be with mom and dad." When he was still in Xujia Village, Xu An once heard a saying, "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop; the son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there."
He didn't know what it meant at the time until he saw a scholar crying and burying his family with his own hands while fleeing famine.
Therefore, Xu An had no idea of doing business from the beginning. In fact, he was different from Xu Ning and Xu An. He did not have any big ideals to pursue. Instead, he hoped to live a peaceful and smooth life with his family.
"Dabao." Old Mrs. Xu pulled Xu An to her side and touched his hair lovingly.
Since Xu Ning showed up with the treasure box and the Xu family's food improved, Xu An has grown taller. Judging from his current growth and development, if Xu An doesn't bow his head in a few years, Old Lady Xu is afraid that she won't be able to touch her grandson's head.
"Dayong, Mei Niang, what do you think?" Old Man Xu has always been a slave to his wife. He never objects to whatever Old Lady Xu says. Hearing what Old Lady Xu said, he also looked at his son and his wife.
"Xiaobao, do you really want to go? Even if the road is dangerous and you might lose your life, you still want to go?!" Xu Da did not answer Old Lady Xu, but asked their youngest son Xu Feng, who was looking at them expectantly.
"Go!" Xu Feng's voice was firm!
Zhang was somewhat reluctant in her heart, but she just couldn't say no.
But her youngest son was too young, and she really didn't want to do it. Speechless, Zhang could not help but look to her husband for help.
Xu Da put his arm around Zhang's shoulders and advised: "Just treat it as an outing."
"But we..." We are not with him.
But Zhang herself also understands that the child will not accompany her for the rest of her life. The child will grow up, have his or her own ideas, and have his or her own life.
Parents and children are destined to be separated from the moment the child is born.
"Xiaobao, since you have made up your mind, your parents can stop you, but you must listen to your sisters and brothers on the way. Can you do that?"
"I can do it! I can do it!" When Xu Feng heard his father relax his restraining orders, he jumped happily on the spot.
"Xu Xiaobao, do you have any plans?" Xu Ning knew that Xu Feng liked doing business, and she didn't intend to restrict him.
"Plan? The plan is that I will listen to my second sister on the way!"
"Oh, then if my second sister asked you to jump into the river, would you go too?"
"Go!" Xu Feng answered firmly, but he was thinking in his heart, since he can swim, who should he be afraid of!
"Okay, then I'll test you on the way. If you can't perform, I'll have someone send you back."
"Hmph! Second sister, just wait and see! I will definitely come back with you!"
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. Xiaobao, pack your things tonight and don't bother big brother and mom, otherwise you don't need to come with us tomorrow!" Xu Ning drove everyone out of the room. They were going to set off tomorrow, and she also wanted to check again to see if there was anything she had forgotten.
