The little sister is a troublemaker

Li Mulan and Zhang chatted until the evening, when everyone in the mine had gone home.

When Li Xun saw this, he quickly went to ask his father, "Dad, do you think we should tell the rest of the clan about this news?"

Li Cong thought about it, nodded and said, "Please ask your cousins ​​to come over tonight. I will tell them about this in person."

"Where's Fourth Uncle?"

Li Cong sighed with a complicated look, "Go and invite him. As for whether he comes or not, it's up to him."

"Yes, my son knows."

"Then please come and have dinner together. I'll have someone prepare it." Li Mulan came in directly and looked at Li Cong cunningly, "Grandfather, I came in because I saw that your door was not closed."

Li Cong smiled and nodded at her, "Alright, go and arrange it."

Li Mulan turned around and went to find Qingyu. Huo Yuanruo said, "Uncle Junior, you don't have to make any arrangements. Sister Qingyu guessed that you would definitely stay here for dinner, so she went to prepare it. Calculating the time, you will be back soon."

Li Mulan smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Oh, with my sister here, I really don't have to worry about anything."

Chu Jie came forward and took Li Mulan's arm, but his eyes were fixed on Li Cong's house. "Sister Lan, is your grandfather living in there?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Chu Jie nodded like a little adult, "According to etiquette, we should go and pay our respects to our elders, Brother Yuan Ruo, am I right?"

Huo Yuanruo was stunned, then thought about it. Yes, he had been here several times, but he had never formally met his grandfather, Junior Uncle. How could this be possible? He looked at Li Mulan aggrievedly, as if he was accusing Li Mulan of being a heartless man and not introducing him to her family.

Li Mulan swallowed speechlessly. These two guys were really... Then she sighed, turned around and went back into the house, "Grandfather, I brought two people with me. Can you introduce them to me?"

Li Cong was stunned for a moment, looked at the tall and short figures outside the door, smiled and nodded, "We should meet them."

The two people outside the door, who were listening with their ears perked up, smiled at each other, and agreed. Before Li Mulan could call for help, the two people ran in.

Chu Jie was a man of good manners, and waited obediently for Li Mulan to introduce him. Huo Yuanruo, the simpleton, knelt down as soon as he entered the room, and kowtowed several times, "Yuanruo greets the ancestor."

This operation shocked everyone. Li Mulan was so shocked that she laughed dryly, "Ha, ha, ha... Grandfather, he is the apprentice of my fifth senior brother and calls me Junior Senior Uncle. So according to this generation, it is not wrong to call you the ancestor."

Then he pulled him up to prevent him from doing anything shocking again. Li Cong smiled at Huo Yuanruo kindly, "He is a simple and honest child, a good child."

When Huo Yuanruo heard the compliment, he raised his eyebrows at Li Mulan proudly and said, "Look, your grandfather is praising me."

Li Mulan couldn't bear to look at that despicable look. Could she just pretend she didn't know him?

Chu Jie was embarrassed, he couldn't kneel, and looked at Li Cong helplessly. Li Mulan pulled him over and introduced him to her grandfather, "I met this child on the way here, and it was fate that I brought him with me. The one who came to deliver the message to us this time was his uncle. So, this fate is really, indescribable."

Li Cong nodded and looked at Chu Jie with a particularly loving look, "I can tell at first glance that he is a sensible child."

Chu Jie bowed as a junior, "I heard from my uncle that Mr. Li is knowledgeable and talented. Chu Jie is bold and would like to ask the old man to accept me as his apprentice and teach me."

Li Cong, Li Mulan and Huo Yuanruo were all stunned. No one expected that this child would do such a thing.

Li Mulan looked at her grandfather awkwardly. She was not aware of this matter. "Um... Xiaojie, becoming a disciple is not a trivial matter. Does your family know about this?"

Chu Jie nodded, "My uncle knows."

Li Mulan swallowed and said, "This, it won't work if only your uncle knows about it. What about your parents? Do they agree?"

Chu Jie's eyes were somewhat sad. His body, which had just been straight like a young poplar, instantly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. "My parents...are gone."

Li Mulan was stunned. She didn't expect it to be like this. "I'm sorry, Xiaojie, I didn't know..."

Chu Jie sniffed, "Sister Lan, it's okay. My father died before I was born, and my mother insisted on giving birth to me, but she followed my father not long after. I've gotten used to it a long time ago, so I'm not sad."

Huo Yuanruo hugged Chu Jie and said with tears in his eyes, "Xiaojie, you are so pitiful. I used to think that I was pitiful for not having a mother, but I didn't expect you to be even more miserable than me. At least I still have a father and an older brother, but you have nothing, wuwuwuwuwu..."

The corners of Li Mulan's mouth twitched unconsciously. Is this unfortunate child really trying to comfort people?

Chu Jie shook his head. "Yes, I have my uncle. He raised me and treated me like his own son. Although he was a little strict, he was actually very good to me. He was cold on the outside but warm on the inside."

Huo Yuanruo thought of that annoying person with a cold face but a warm heart. Now it seems that he is not so annoying anymore. After all... he is Xiaojie's only relative.

Li Cong looked at Chu Jie and comforted him, "If your parents knew that you have grown up to be so smart and well-behaved, they would be very pleased."

Chu Jie's eyes lit up, "Then Mr. Li, are you willing to accept me?"

Li Cong paused and shook his head with some difficulty, "I am old and may not be able to teach you. But I believe that as long as you are willing, your uncle will definitely find a more suitable teacher for you."

"I don't want it," Chu Jie said stubbornly, "I ran away from home and came to Mobei alone just to find you. If you don't agree, I won't leave."

Li Mulan was shocked when these words came out, "Xiao... Xiaojie, the person you have been looking for is my grandfather?"

Chu Jie looked at Li Mulan with some apology in his eyes, "Sister Lan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I didn't know that Mr. Li was your grandfather. I came to Mobei to find him in Xiangyun City. I'm sorry that I kept it from you."

Seeing Chu Jie lowering his head due to guilt, Li Mulan felt a little sorry for him. She looked at her grandfather pleadingly, "Grandfather, look at this..."

Li Cong sighed, "My child, I know you are a good person. But I have sworn long ago that I will never accept any students in this life." Thinking of that kind and wise man, Li Cong's heart was suddenly gripped, and his face turned pale with pain.

Li Mulan noticed something was wrong immediately and rushed forward to support him, quickly feeling for his pulse with one hand, "Grandfather, what's wrong with you?"

Li Cong looked somewhat sad, and waved his hands feebly, "Nothing, Grandfather is fine, don't worry, I just thought of someone...someone I haven't seen for a long time."
