Chapter 90 Visiting Big Brother
Ah Li ran home happily and found Mr. Pei in the kitchen.
"Mom, brother Ling and I will go to the city for a day tomorrow. Can Dalang and the others also go together?"
Mrs. Pei asked while chopping vegetables: "Don't Qing Ling not like to go to the city to play? Why did she go there all of a sudden?"
"Brother Ling is probably in good health now, so he wants to go play!"
"Then you go! But be careful, I will get you some money later and you can buy some delicious food."
Ah Li waved his hands repeatedly, "No need for you, Mom. You have forgotten. I have a lot of money. When the time comes, I will buy delicious food for Dalang and the others, and also for Mom."
Mrs. Pei looked at her and smiled fondly, "Okay, then you go have fun and remember to come back early."
Ah Li nodded happily.
After going out, I told the four men the good news and asked them to get up early tomorrow.
The next day, just after dawn and the chickens crow in the yard, Ah Li got up and got dressed.
She took out a piece of silver from her drawer and put it in her small bag.
When she left the bedroom, Mrs. Pei had already prepared breakfast.
The four men were also neatly dressed and washing their faces.
"Lili, wake up. Wash your face and have some breakfast before leaving. It's getting colder, so wear more clothes."
"Uh-huh"
Ah Li took the hot water that Pei poured for her and stood on the washstand to wash her face and rinse her mouth.
Breakfast is thick rice porridge, steamed buns, and pickles made by Pei.
Simple and warm.
After breakfast, Mrs. Pei sent the five children to the door. Seeing them getting on Lu Qingling's carriage, she entered the yard with peace of mind.
After Ah Li and the others got on the carriage, they saw Lu Qingling and Lu Yun. The children were extremely excited, and this happiness also infected Lu Qingling.
They had to go through Yecheng to go to Furong Town. When they arrived in the city, they bought roast chicken, steamed buns, thick quilts and thick clothes, as long as Lin Darong could use them.
In order to come back early, they bought some delicious food to eat on the carriage.
It took more than half an hour to get from Yecheng to Furong Town.
They didn't know where the service place was, so they had to ask as they walked.
Soon we arrived at the place where the embankment was being built.
There were tinkling and banging sounds everywhere along the river, and there were people shouting and pulling rocks.
"Hey, hey, hey! Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
After they got off the bus, A Li and the four men were dumbfounded. There were people working everywhere along the river, so where could they go to find their elder brother (father) (uncle).
Lu Qingling did not get off the carriage, but Lu Yun followed her.
He looked around and saw the overseer holding a whip.
So he said to Ah Li: "Little Ah Li, you might as well ask the man with the whip, he should be in charge."
Ah Li's eyes lit up and he ran to the carriage to get a pack of snacks.
She remembered that her second brother had taught her that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it. There is no benefit in asking for help, so why would anyone be willing to do it?
She felt that it was very suitable to use in this situation.
She took the snacks and ran to the supervisor with the four men "dengdengdeng".
"Hello, uncle!"
Supervisor Liu looked at the five children running over with some curiosity.
"Little girl, this is not a place for you to play. Leave quickly. I won't hurt you later."
"Uncle, we are not here to play. We are here to see my elder brother. He also works here."
"Oh, what's his name?"
Ah Li said in a crisp voice with a sweet smile: "My eldest brother's name is Lin Darong. Could you please tell us where he is?"
Supervisor Liu seemed to have thought of something and immediately said: "So you are Lin Darong's family?"
"Uncle, does he know my eldest brother?"
"I don't know him, but when they were working yesterday, Lin Darong was almost hit by a stone. Fortunately, he was rescued, but the person who rescued him was seriously injured."
Everyone became nervous after hearing this.
Ah Li asked Supervisor Liu again: "Can we meet my elder brother?"
"They probably didn't work today, so go find them in the work shed over there!"
"Okay, thank you uncle, I'll give this snack to uncle."
Ah Li stuffed the oil paper bag into Supervisor Liu's arms.
Before he could speak, the five children ran away.
He shook his head with a smile, looked at the oil paper bag and said to himself: "This little girl is quite good at getting things done. She is indeed a caring girl!"
Ah Li and the others quickly ran to the work sheds by the river, but there were too many work sheds here, and they couldn't find them one by one.
So the five children split up and shouted in rows.
"Brother, I am Lili, where are you?"
"Dad, I am Dalang, we are here to find you."
"Second uncle, second uncle, please answer if you hear me."
People in the work shed looked curiously at the door when they heard the child shouting.
They saw that Ah Li's little baby had a loud voice.
"Whose kid is this? He's so brave."
Lin Darong, who was feeding Lin Changsheng porridge in the house, vaguely heard the voices of A Li and Dalang, and immediately stopped feeding him porridge.
He said to the confused Lin Changsheng, "Brother Changsheng, I'll be back in a moment. Just wait for me!"
Then he put down the bowl and strode out.
After seeing A Li's little figure looking around, he was sure that they were really here.
So he quickly shouted to her: "Lili, big brother is here."
Ah Li followed the sound and found Lin Darong walking towards her. A smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Big brother, big brother, I finally found you."
Lin Darong went over and picked up Ah Li.
"Why are you here? Is dad here too?"
"No, it's just me and Dalang who are here, oh! By the way, there are also Brother Ling and Brother Lu Yun."
"Where are Dalang and the others?"
While they were talking, Dalang and the others also arrived.
"father!"
Dalang and Silang shouted at the same time and ran towards Lin Darong.
Lin Darong put Ah Li on the ground and stretched out his hands to hold the two brothers in his arms.
Dalang is eleven years old this year. He was a little embarrassed at first, but he missed his father too much, so he hugged him.
"I miss you, Daddy! Daddy misses you too."
Dalang Silang's eyes turned red when he looked at Lin Darong, who was much thinner and more haggard than before.
"Dad, you must be tired from working here! You have lost weight."
Lin Darong's eyes became moist when he heard this.
"It's okay. Dad is not tired. He can go back in a month."
After their tenderness was over, Erlang and Sanlang also came forward and called "uncle".
Lin Darong touched Erlang Sanlang's head and said, "You are all good boys, and you came all the way to see your uncle."
At this time, Ah Li thought of Supervisor Liu's words.
"Brother, the uncle with the whip just said that you were almost injured. Are you okay?"
Ah Li stretched out his hand to lift Lin Darong's clothes to see if there were any injuries on his body.
