“??”

Xu Jiaorong, who was sitting at home and sewing several sets of small clothes for Little Annie, heard the sound of opening and closing outside the door, and thought that some little guy was finally back when he was wandering, he couldn't help but stretched his neck and looked out of the hall for a while.

"Why……"

However, it was not until someone she was familiar with that strides in from outside the hall that she shook her head with a little regret.

That child...

If you count the time, I have been out for almost half a day, why haven’t I come back yet? Could it be... It’s really like what I said when I went out, ‘I will definitely come back before dark’? What’s so fun in Qiantang County outside? It’s worth playing all day long?

Originally, Xu Jiaorong thought that after a little girl was added at home, the other party could chat with her and relieve her boredom when her husband and brother were not around, but then he thought that the little guy had just held back for two days, and on the third day, he finally couldn't help but run out alone to play crazy.

"Mr. Don't you have to be on duty today? Why are you back so early?"

It’s only noon now. In the past, Chief Li came back to shoot the door when the sun sets westward. Why did he come back before noon today for the first time?

So, Xu Jiaorong, who was a little curious, continued to sew the female work in his hand, and asked softly without raising his head.

"Not needed today!"

"The case of Kuyin theft has been completely settled! The murderers of the Bai Mansion have long been gone now. Han Wen was implicated and sent to Suzhou yesterday. Kuyin was also escorted by the wing soldiers early this morning to set off for escort to Lin'an City, so there is no major event in the county government, so I came back early..."

"From tomorrow, I can rest well at home for two days, and I always have to take a breath first!"

Bang!

He slapped the Park Knife on his waist on the table. Li Gongfu poured a cup of cold tea and took a big sip before he collapsed onto the chair. He turned his head to look at his wife Xu Jiaorong who was working as a female worker... Then, he soon realized that in his home, there seemed to be something missing now?

"It's strange..."

"Where is that little guy Annie, why didn't I see her? Could it be...Is he running back to sleep in again, right?"

"As the saying goes, 'working at sunrise, resting at sunset', now the sun is high outside, how can that little girl be so lazy? Madam... You have to take good care of this matter, don't think that other people's parents or other family members will blame our Li family for not having a tutor and will teach a good girl in other people's family badly!"

After turning around, he did not notice any of the figure of that little girl Annie. After thinking that the other party was Li Gongfu who was running back to the room to sleep in, he looked at his wife who was sitting next to him doing needlework in the main seat next to him, and lowered his voice to persuade him.

He had actually seen it a long time ago: that little girl Anne, her temperament is very wild! If she didn't discipline her strictly now, who would know what the other party would look like in the future?

But, it’s not convenient for him to deal with this matter, and it’s not easy to deal with it…

After all, the little girl is not from his Li family, so she can't let him use a stick to teach other people's children? So now, he can only persuade his wife, hoping that the other party will discipline her well. Anyway, the two women of big and small are very compatible, so just let her wife guide her slowly, and the other party will take care of her is the most suitable one.

"Sleep in? That's nothing!"

As Xu Jiaorong knows, the little guy has been complaining that there is nothing fun at night these two days, so he can only go to bed early at You hour and get up at dawn at Mao hour. He can sleep for such a long time, so where will he run back to sleep in?

"Officiale, don't worry!"

"Annie actually got up early in the morning! However, after drinking a bowl of porridge, she ran out and ran away. Am I still waiting for her to come back?"

"It's been more than two hours, why don't you... official, please go out to help find it. She has been running out for a whole morning. I'm a little worried. If she wanders around Qiantang County, where we are unfamiliar, something bad will happen..."

Xu Jiaorong continued to look up and looked outside, and listened intently. He didn't hear any movements of opening or slapping the door, so he could only turn his head and suggest to his husband Li Gongfu.

She was a little worried, afraid that that little guy Annie would be bullied by other children, or that something happened to be peeped at by some villain?

"No! If you want to go, go!!"

How could Li Gongfu, who had just come back and had not had time to sit on the hot side, take on this mess?

He had been tired for a whole morning and hadn't been able to sleep well a few days ago. He even had the twenty-pin boards beaten by the unreasonable magistrate half a month ago, but he was not completely cured yet! Therefore, he, Li Gongfu, No. 1, doesn't want to go anywhere now, he just wants to stay at home and rest for two days!

"snort!"

"You can't keep my brother Hanwen. If something happens to my little Annie, I will definitely be with you forever!"

Seeing that her husband actually ignored him, Xu Jiaorong put down his embroidery needle and slapped the table hard with his palm. He was so scared that the other party almost threw out the cup containing cold tea in his hand.

"Oh! Don't worry!"

"In the whole Qiantang County, who doesn't know that the blond and blue-eyed little girl from Fanbang was the magistrate Yang personally ordered to be fostered at my Li Gongfu's home? Who dared to eat the courage of the bear heart and leopard, and dared to hit that little girl's attention? I really think that my Li's knife is not sharp enough?!"

After drinking all the tea in the celadon cup in his hand, Li Gongfu shook his head and looked at his wife with laughter and tears:

"In addition, that blond girl with blue eyes is the only one in Qiantang County. She can attract attention no matter where she goes. She will definitely be able to leave. You can relax!"

"Of course, I'm sure I can't hunger her!

Li Gongfu is the second-in-command of Qiantang County. He is the chief constable in charge of theft and public security. He has dozens of constables, dozens of commissars, and more than a dozen other extra-staff helpers and eyeliners. He can also manage many slutty children mingling on the street. If the little girl Anne is lost or is embarrassed by some invisible people, his people will definitely help, so he is not worried at all!

In his opinion, Li Gongfu, the little girl must have gone to eat and drink!

That little devil...

I don’t know how much money the other party has hidden, and my wife has exchanged her a lot of broken silver and copper coins. So in just two days, she has almost become the most popular person in the restaurants or stalls in Qiantang County!

Can't say that when tomorrow, Li Gongfu will follow the other party out for two delicious meals?

"But……"

Xu Jiaorong was still not very satisfied because Annie was really too small and there was not even a maid following her. How could she really feel at ease? So she simply stopped the hand of the female worker who was working, pondered, as if she still wanted to say something.

"Oh! Don't let it go, put down these silk fabrics first!"

He, Li Gongfu, was not as good as his wife was doing!

Tsk tsk...

What awesome, a little girl of a few years old can make her wife willing to make several sets of silk dresses? Why didn’t she see the other person and make one or two sets for herself?

"That little guy can wear the one that I have for a few days, and I haven't seen it dirty, so there's no hurry! Now, go to the kitchen to pick me up first. I'm hungry and I want a good meal!"

Li Gongfu was not worried about the personal safety of the little girl in Qiantang County!

If anyone who is blind is really brave and dares to attack the Li family in the city, he will take the knife and shout out, and the other party will be locked in prison and lose money!

As for the little girl who may leave the city, there is no need to worry!

He, Li Gongfu, had already given instructions to the brothers guarding the gate. Whenever he saw that the little girl wanted to leave the city, they would definitely help stop each other.

"Eat well?"

"It's so troublesome. Just go out and have a meal of Yangchun noodles at Liu Mapo's stall?"

Xu Jiaorong doesn't want to do it now because she wants to sew new clothes for Little Annie. If she enters the kitchen, she might have oil stains on her hands and dirty this set of good satin fabric with white stains.

"No! No!!"

"You don't know that the lingering woman arranged for me, your baby brother, Hanwen, and the little girl Annie, to be said a lot of bad things by the thief! Anyway, I will never go to her stall to eat noodles again in my life, so let her continue to say go!"

It would be fine if I didn’t say it, but when I talked about the stall diagonally opposite the door, Li Gongfu was so angry!

“…”

"Okay, I originally wanted to wait for Annie to come back and pick it up..."

After sighing and looking outside the door again, after not seeing the little girl coming back, Xu Jiaorong could only nod in forced nod, put down the skirt and shirt that was only half completed in his hand, and prepared to cook in the kitchen.

Because of her younger brother Xu Xian, she had been sarcastic about her neighbors for a while, and of course she knew it. So she planned not to go out in the next few days and do needlework at home well, so she would avoid the limelight first.

"Don't, don't wait for her!"

"Maybe, that little guy is eating and drinking in a restaurant now! After she saw the delicious food, she must have forgotten us!!"

Needless to think, Li Gongfu could probably guess where the little girl who was richer than him would be! When he was still in the county government office, the brother who was patrolling the street told him that the little Annie seemed to be eating West Lake carp and crabs in the steamed fish shop of Old Man Bai in the north of the city?

Tsk tsk...

Just thinking about it, he is drooling now! Although steaming fish and crabs are not expensive, it is not enough for him to eat every meal by himself. He doesn’t have that much money!

If it weren't for the wrong way to go home, maybe he would have gone to take a look when he came back from the county government just now. How could he go home and eat the usual way of making his wife, and even the birds are fading out of their mouths?!

“…”

"Where is Anne as outrageous as you said?"

In Xu Jiaorong's opinion, it is normal for children to be greedy and greedy. In addition, that little guy has money and does not eat their Li family. Instead, the couple has the money to benefit from it, so how can they arrange others like this?

"Why didn't there?"

"I tell you that what she eats a day can be as good as my monthly salary! It's also a loss for her to have money, otherwise I can't afford to sell her girl!!"

When he thought of the first meal he had eaten at the Yuelai Restaurant two days ago, Li Gongfu felt a little trembling at this moment! Whenever he remembered that his monthly salary was not enough for the little girl to squander it, and he was still in the restaurant with some of the credits, he was very resentful!

Although it was not his own money, his wife refused to give her money to repay the accounts recorded in her name until now.

"That's because you are incompetent!"

After blanching his husband, after packing the fabric, Xu Jiaorong snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the side door of the main hall.

After being busy for a while, she was indeed a little hungry... Since that little guy Annie doesn't come back, she won't wait.

"Not capable?!"

"You woman, you are so ignorant! You don't know the squandering skills of that little guy. Not to mention me, a little captain, I'm afraid he can't afford to support the magistrate Yang!!"

However, before Li Gongfu finished speaking, his wife disappeared, and obviously he could not hear the complaints he had just said.

"It's outrageous!"

"Sure enough, it's hard to raise a villain and a woman! Not to mention a little guy who is a villain and a woman. The saint's famous saying is correct. That little Annie is really hard to raise!!"

"The little girl who picks mushrooms is carrying a big basket..."
