Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

"Xiao Fu'er, the clan school is closed today..."

I haven't seen Xiao Fuer for several days. The last time my eldest brother went out, he entrusted Xiao Fuer to my grandmother's care.

I am worried that my eldest brother is not around. After all, I need the elders to take care of me.

She caught Xiao Fuer who was running towards her, squatted down, and tidied up her hair that was messed up by the wind.

"Does Xiao Fuer miss Fifth Sister?"

"I miss my fifth sister so much. My eldest brother has also left, and I don't know where he sent me!"

There was a tearful tone in his voice, and his eyes turned red in an instant as he blinked.

"Oh my, you little girl, you're still feeling wronged!"

Grandma's voice came from above, and she joked as she listened to Xiao Fuer's voice with a hint of tears in it.

She also knew that the child looked carefree, had a lively personality, and was very sensitive.

What's more, not only is she young, but she has also traveled all the way here without any elders around. Although she is her grandmother, she has never met her.

Hearing this, the old lady felt very distressed.

She called out to Xiao Fuer, "Xiao Fuer, come to Grandma!"

He looked at his grandmother who was sitting in the upper seat, and then looked at the shy little Fu'er, who was probably clinging to him because he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Grandma, this little Fu'er may not have seen me for a long time, so he must be very rare."

Wen Shu explained a little nervously.

"The two sisters have a good relationship. They grew up together, and Xiao Fu'er has never left you. Sisters have a deep bond, and this is a good thing!"

The old lady was not angry at little Fu'er's reaction, but rather pleased.

……

"Grandma is right. We are all sisters whose blood is thicker than water. That's how it should be."

The old lady nodded and changed the subject. She pointed to the girl on the right and the boy who was being held by a woman next to the girl and introduced them, "These are the two children from your second uncle's family.

The big one is called Jinhe."

The girl who was named had a chubby face and was wearing a white brocade dress dotted with red kapok flowers. Her thick black hair was combed into a bun with a tuft of hair hanging on both sides, which made her originally luxurious and solemn look more cute and lovely like a little girl.

"This is Wenshu from your third uncle's family. She's a year or two older than you. This is the first time you two are meeting. You'll all be living under the same roof from now on, so this is a good opportunity for you to get to know each other."

“She is the sixth child in the family.”

"Jinhe, this is the fifth sister I mentioned to you just now..."

'Sixth sister' - upon hearing the word 'Sixth sister', Wen Shu's eyes moved around her new sister.

He sits upright and his demeanor is pleasing to the eye.

He was one or two years younger than her, but he acted like an adult.

Also, it has nothing to do with the internet buzzwords she had heard so many times before.

It really has nothing to do with it.

Wen Shu raised the corners of her mouth and put on a mask specially for socializing, ready to say hello.

Before she could even start, the girl named 'Lao Liu' took the lead.

The round face with a pair of big eyes does not look out of place at all. It looks like the kind of face that will attract the elders and is blessed.

"Fifth sister, Jin He just arrived home. If there are any imperfections in the etiquette, please forgive me. I'm from Luoyang City. Bashu is not as prosperous as Luoyang, and I don't know if you are used to it.

My younger sister did not follow our parents. Although she had just returned to her hometown, she had never been out of Bashu and did not know much about the situation outside.

I just know that everyone is longing for Luoyang, and Jinhe also wants to hear stories about the prosperity of Luoyang..."

Wen Shu didn't say anything, just watched Wen Jinhe's mouth opening and closing. Right after she greeted him, she didn't even have time to respond before a barrage of questions came down on her.

Looking at the little mouth that was pouting at a 36-degree angle, how could this little mouth say such chilling words?

It sounded like the little girl was longing for and curious about the prosperous Luoyang, but she didn't believe that she didn't know how Wenshu and the others got back here.

Just pretending...that's all.

Wenshu smiled on the surface. After all, they were sisters and lived under the same roof. There was no need to have a quarrel when they met for the first time.

"I think this place, like Luoyang, is good. This is where my parents and grandparents were born and raised. This is our root, no matter how prosperous the outside world is.

No matter how rich and powerful one may be, one should never forget one's roots, Sixth Sister, don't you think so?"

There was nothing wrong with Wen Shu's words, but she was kind-hearted and not someone who could be manipulated by others, so she turned around and threw the question to her.

Jinhe was frustrated when she heard Wenshu's words.

I didn't expect Wenshu to speak so subtly. I was puzzled, 'Isn't this fifth sister mentally retarded and a little stupid...?

Listening to the reply, it is impossible for a mentally retarded person to answer this.'

Jin He no longer had the contempt she had just felt. She smiled and said, "Sister is right. No matter where we are, no matter how far we go, this place is our root."

I don't want to continue the previous topic. After all, she had already been hurt just after we met, and it would not look good if we continued.

He turned around and picked up the child held by the woman next to him and said, "This is my brother."

"Shao Cheng! This is the fifth sister!"

"Come, call me sister..."

As soon as Jinhe held the Wen family's young man named Shao Cheng in her arms, the child started crying and waving his arms, wanting to return to the woman's arms.

"Sixth sister, he's still young, it's okay, it's okay..."

Jinhe's movements in holding the child were not very skillful. He didn't know whether it was because the child had suddenly changed into a different person, or because he was in an unfamiliar environment, or because the holding posture made him uncomfortable.

From the moment he came into Jinhe's hands, he started crying loudly.

Jinhe had been unable to contain herself for a long time, but it was difficult to get angry in front of others.

The old lady upstairs couldn't sit still any longer. Seeing little Zhaocheng crying like this, how could she sit still any longer?

"Jinhe, please give the little boy to your aunt. He's still young, and it's not good for him to cry like this. He'll get sick easily..."

"It's grandma. Zhaocheng is young and just arrived home. He hasn't adapted yet!"

Jinhe apologized and handed the little Shao Cheng in her hand to the woman beside her who had been following the child closely.

Looking at the woman's dress, she didn't look like an ordinary maid who took care of children. Wen Shu couldn't help but take another look.

We chatted for a long time, all about family matters, food, and schoolwork.

Jinhe seemed uneasy all the time. Who was the old lady? Although she was born in a peasant family and did not have the good background of a noble lady, she was able to marry his grandfather at that time and be accepted by the family. She must be no ordinary person.

"Everyone, go away. You young people have your own things to do, and I, an old woman, have my own things to do."

As he said that, he casually asked the old woman beside him, "Has the water been released at the village head?..."

"Old Madam, you are still thinking about this. Didn't the eldest and second masters at home write to you and ask you to have a good rest and stop working so hard?"

The old woman looked to be in her thirties or forties, and looked smart and capable.

He spoke casually with the old lady, but he didn't see this person when they first met.

"Humph……"

Hearing this, the old lady was dissatisfied.

But he never said anything bad about his son in front of his grandson.

He just waved his hand, ready to chase people away.

"Okay, everyone, go away. It's getting late. I don't have any sour rules here. If I have anything delicious or new, I'll ask someone to let you know."

Jinhe couldn't hold back any longer. Hearing that the old lady was not angry and really wanted some peace and quiet, she decided not to disturb her and left and returned to her own yard.
