Chapter 620: The Gap Between Dreams and Reality

this, although she was heartbroken, she had no choice but to pull him towards the boat.Li Lao'er wanted to stop him, but where could he stop him He could only tell Wang Guan shi a word and chased afte...Even Li Lao San and Zhao Yu Ru, even Jia Ren seeing it with their own eyes, felt that it was inappropriate.

So, they got together and discussed it, sending the two boys back.

After dinner, Lao San nervously rubbed his hands, a troubled expression on his face. He didn't know how to tell his mother the real issue.

As a result, Li Lao Tai spoke first, “Lao San, aren’t you saying that you want the two boys to drop out of school and go out and experience life”

Li Laosan jumped in fright and quickly said, "Mother, don't be like that. If you disagree, just don't let them go out."

Li Laotai smiled and patted her honest and filial son, sighing, "I was a little reluctant at first, after all, it's not very peaceful outside. These two boys are like monkeys, what if they get into trouble What if they meet bad people The family would regret it..."

But, they are just kids, not chickens and ducks raised at home. They're probably impossible to keep contained. Besides, everyone only gets one life. We can't just do whatever we want, can we That would be a waste of a lifetime!

"Let the two boys go if they want to leave!"

Before Li Lao San could respond, Jia An and Jia Xi had already jumped up yipping excitedly.

"Grandma! You really agree We are free!"

"Oh! I'm going to sea! I want to go see the sea, I want to find the fairy island!"

They were hugging each other, practically as happy as can be.

Hearing the commotion, all the family members gathered around.

Tao Hongying saw that her mother-in-law's eyes were still red, but the boys were like this, so angry that she slapped them each one.

The two boys, after being beaten up, finally saw the difference in their abilities. They honestly huddled around Grandma, each holding one of her arms.

"Grandma, I don't want to part with you."

"Me too."

The two wanted to learn how to act cute like their little sister, but unfortunately, they weren't born with that skill. They racked their brains and could only come up with these dry two sentences.

Li Laotai was filled with a mixture of bitterness and sourness, but now she even laughed at the anger from her grandson.

"You two look like firewood, you'll probably be burned for fuel if you go out like this!" Old Lady Li grabbed their wrists and instructed them, "Don't think that just because I agreed to let you not study, everything will be alright. "

"To put it simply, you're still too young. Stay here at home for a while longer, until your family prepares everything, and then you can leave."

"Why, Grandma!" Jiā'ān immediately protested. "We still want to go back to Quanzhou on the next boat."

"Yes, Grandma, there are always ships going to foreign lands during the New Year. We want to buy a ship and go out to sea!" Jiaxi was also pacing anxiously.

Before the old lady could respond, Jia Yin, who was sitting beside her and nibbling on fruit, spoke first.

"Brother, are you guys planning on buying a ship to go out to sea How much silver would it take to buy a ship Do you know How many shipworkers and guards would a ship need"

"I hear there are pirates at sea, you guys can't even kill a chicken, if you encounter pirates, you probably won't even be able to withstand one of their blows!

Besides, Uncle said that our Tianwu silk and tea are very popular in foreign lands. A can of tea can be exchanged for a gem. Would you like to take some with you Do you have silver to buy goods

"The sea is rough and you could easily capsize if you're not careful. Can you read the signs of the weather Out at sea, you can go months without vegetables, and people get sick and die. Do you know how to avoid that"

When you arrive in foreign lands and don't speak the language, how will you do business with the locals Be careful, they might see you as invaders and kill you!

She was full of curiosity, asking a bunch of questions left and right.

But Jiā'ān and Jiāxǐ listened with increasingly pale faces. Several times they wanted to speak up in rebuttal, but they lacked the courage.

They know nothing and have no money. To say they want to buy a boat and go to sea is truly unrealistic.

But to have them give up like this, they wouldn't stand for it!

"Jia An, relying on his older brother's status, whispered to Fu Niu'er, "Fu Niu'er, can you help your elder brother buy a boat and some cargo Don't worry, when we make money, we'll give it all to you. We won't take any!"

Grandma Li and her granddaughter understood each other perfectly. At this moment, they quickly chimed in, rapping their grandson, "You're really telling a joke! "

"You don't even know how much silver a single boat costs, how could you let your sister pay for it Your sister's silver isn't from the wind. She usually helps out with your allowance, is it too much to ask that you use your own money when you go out into the world"

"Aren't you ashamed of yourselves acting like big brothers Even if your sister can afford the money, you know nothing! Taking a ship and cargo out to sea is like going to your deaths. You talk about making silver, but you're likely to lose everything!"

Jia'an and Jiaxi looked at each other, as wilted as eggplants frosted by the morning dew!

They thought that all they had to do was take a step and they could conquer the stars and the sea.

Who would have thought that there were so many preparations to be made before departure...

To prevent her brothers' youthful ambitions from being dampened, Jia Yin quickly said, "It's not impossible for your brother to go to sea, but you need a plan. For example, you should learn martial arts for self-defense, learn foreign languages, and learn how to sail and observe celestial phenomena!"

"As long as I learn all of this, then going out to sea won't be like going to die. I can give my brothers silver and buy the best ships, and purchase the finest goods!"

Grandma Li held her granddaughter, smiling and saying, "As long as they can do these things, where will the need for your money be The family will support them. I'm just afraid that your two older brothers are nothing but talkative cowards. They'll change their minds at the first sign of trouble."

Jia An and Jia Xi were indeed spurred on by the tactic. They both shouted in unison, "No, we won't change!" We must go to sea! We are not afraid of trouble!"

"Alright then," Old Li quickly made a decision. "Our family will make an agreement with you for three years. Within those three years, as long as you learn these skills, our family will support you in buying a boat and going to sea, we will not stop you!"

"Three years, then three years!" Jia'an and Jiaxi responded in unison, rushing forward to shake hands with their grandmother.

Jia Yin winked at Grandma and then pulled her two older brothers toward the backyard. "Brothers, come to my room. I have some cool things for you to see. You'll need them when we go out to sea later."

Seeing three children enter the corner gate, Tao Hongying finally let out a sigh of relief. Then she whispered to her mother-in-law, “Mother, I thought these two children were going to run around Quanzhou a few more times. Who would have thought they were going to go out to sea They... will they succeed”

Li Lao San also had some regrets, "Yes, mother, I thought they would at most just follow Big Brother and Jia Yi around a few times..."

Old Li waved her hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Since you want to let the children roam free, don't interfere with where they go. Luckily, Fu Niuer is smart and helped me put them off for three more years."

Over these three years, they've learned a few tricks. Hopefully, in the end, they'll change their minds. If they persist in going out to sea... at least they'll have some self-defense skills.

Li Lao'er listened intently, and remembering the Jiaren and Lig'er at the academy, he suddenly felt a twinge of worry.

These two kids are also going to Quanzhou for study abroad soon, I wonder if they will...

In the backyard, Jiayin was eating fruit with her two older brothers around the kang table.

Fruits like grapes and peaches that were not meant to be shown to outsiders were now being stuffed into their mouths by Jia Xi and Jia An with relish.

They developed the habit of stealing food with their younger sister from a young age; it was an ingrained rule in their minds, regardless of the source.

Even though they might be a little down, that doesn't stop their mouths from moving.

Jia Yin ate a peach and then ran to the edge of the kang bed to rummage through a cabinet. She took out something that made Jia An and Jia Xi forget to swallow the fruit in their mouths...
