Rouniang's business was exceptionally good, and Ruyi's teahouse business also became popular. Many bosses asked Ruyi where the supplier of the dim sum was.

Ruyi did not hide it and told Li Rouniang. Li Rouniang thought that it was not easy for her to be too conspicuous at the moment, so she let Ruyi keep it a secret. She only cooperated with Ruyi and the money she earned was enough to support her life. She was not greedy. She knew that when she had no one to rely on, it might not be a good thing to become big and make others jealous.

The days passed peacefully and happily. Erni became friends with the other children in Zhaojia Village because of Zhao Xiaopang.

Gou Wa and Da Niu also became her little followers. In addition to practicing kung fu every day, Er Ni would go out for a run. But Dani, on the contrary, habitually stayed with Old Man Mo, learning to read, and taking care of her younger brother and sister.

"Er Ni, look, it seems that Master Qian is here."

Zhao Xiaopang pointed at the carriage at the entrance of the village and said, Erni saw it and ran over happily. She hadn't seen Qian Duobao for quite a long time.

"Duobao, why are you here? I told you that my parents are divorced. I now live with my mother in a small house at the end of the village. You can come there to see me when you have time. The snacks my mother makes are delicious. I'll ask her to make them for you when the time comes."

Erni took Qian Duobao and shared everything that happened to her recently.

Qian Duobao just listened quietly, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

"Duobao, why do you look like you're about to cry? What happened to you?"

As Erni was talking, she felt something was wrong. Qian Duobao was too quiet today.

"Er Ni, I'm leaving." Qian Duobao said with a choked voice.

"Ah, you left so soon, don't you want to play with us for a while longer? Well, when will you come over next time?"

Erni didn't realize what Duobao meant by this.

"That's not what I meant, Erni. My parents are planning to move south, so I'm going to go south with them. I'm afraid I can only come back when I grow up."

Qian Duobao was in a very depressed mood. He told his parents that he didn't want to leave and he didn't want to leave Zhao Erni.

"We have to go so far?" Erni felt melancholy after hearing this. After all, when she was so young, going to town was already a long way off, and going to the south seemed very far away!

Erni's eyes were filled with tears. She pulled Qian Duobao and asked, "Then we will never see each other again, right?"

Erni was very reluctant to leave. Duobao was her first friend. When she was in the most difficult time, only Duobao was by her side. They had escaped the clutches of human traffickers together and had been through so much. Now they were really going to be separated. How could she not be sad?

"Er Ni, can you wait for me to grow up? When I grow up, I will come back to play with you." Qian Duobao said solemnly.

Erni nodded. At such a young age, neither of them realized that growing up is a very long process. Many irresistible things will happen during this long period of time, and it is unknown whether they will meet again.

"Er Ni, this is for you, take it." Qian Duobao stuffed a jade pendant into Er Ni's hand.

Erni picked it up and saw that it was a snow-white peace locket.

"This is so beautiful!" Erni couldn't help but like it. The jade felt warm to the touch and he fell in love with it as soon as he touched it.

"Well, this is what my mother gave me when I was born. I'm giving it to you now so that we can recognize each other when we grow up. I heard from my mother that girls change a lot when they grow up. I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize you when you grow up."

Feeling sad about the separation, Erni couldn't help but feel depressed. She thought about it and felt even more depressed: "Duobao, but I don't have anything to give you."

"It's okay. As long as you still remember me, that's the best gift you can give me." Qian Duobao comforted with a smile.

Erni was silent, and finally said: "Duobao, wait for me."

After saying that, Erni quickly ran home. After a while, she ran back and said, "This is for you."

Qian Duobao took it. It was a small silver lock, very small and not very delicate.

"Mom said it says 'peace' on the front and my name on this side." Erni said, pointing at the back and front of the silver lock.

Duobao held it tightly in his hand: "Erni, I will definitely keep it well."

"I will keep it well too." Erni raised the peace locket in her hand.

She didn't know that the peace locket in her hand could buy hundreds of such small silver locks.

It’s just that what they give to each other at their age are the most precious.

There are no worldly values!

Finally, Duobao left in a carriage. Erni stood at the entrance of the village and waved to him vigorously: "Qian Duobao, you must remember to think of me."

"it is good"

"Duobao, you have to eat well and grow up quickly!"

"it is good"

"Duobao, remember to come back to find me."

"it is good"

"Duobao..."

Until the two could no longer hear each other's movements, Qian Duobao sat in the carriage, holding the safety lock tightly in his hand.

Zhao Erni carefully hid the peace locket in her small dressing box, which was bought for her by her mother. It also contained a small slingshot made by Mo Bei, and some hair flowers bought for her by Li Rouniang.

That safety lock is the most valuable. She and her sister each get one, but she gave it to Duobao. I wonder if her mother will be very angry when she finds out?

When Li Rouniang came back, Erni followed her nervously. Li Rouniang thought something was wrong. After dinner, she walked alone with Erni in the yard and asked, "Erni, you look dazed. Did anything happen today?"

"Mom, I told you not to be angry." Erni first wanted a good result.

"Tell me first." Li Rouniang was not fooled.

"Mom, I gave my little golden lock to Qian Duobao." Erni said anxiously.

"Why?" Li Rouniang felt a little distressed, but still asked the reason patiently.

"Duobao said he was going to leave here with his parents and go to the south, so I gave him my little gold lock as a souvenir, and he also gave me one, this one." Erni handed the peace lock to Li Li Rouniang,

Li Rouniang didn't accept it? After thinking for a while, she said, "Since it's a gift between you two friends, you should keep it well."

"Mom, aren't you angry with me?" Erni asked.

"Mom is not angry. Erni cares about her friends. This is a good thing."

Erni heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Her mother was very kind to her. Gou Wa said that if he secretly gave the delicious food to Daniu and the others, his mother would scold him for being stupid!

In fact, Li Rouniang still felt distressed. She was ignorant and didn't know the value of the jade pendant. She just thought that jade pendants were difficult to preserve and easy to break. Silver locks were better, as they could be exchanged for silver at critical moments. But forget it, as long as Erni was happy, she just wanted to spoil her daughter!

At night, Li Rouniang dreamed of her past life. It seemed as if she saw a thick fog of gunpowder all over the land, and the people were crying and wailing.

When I woke up in the middle of the night, there was a layer of sweat on my forehead.

Thinking back carefully to my past life, it seemed as if something big had happened?

It's just that she was preoccupied with her children's affairs at that time and didn't observe carefully.

Now she thought that she should make more plans. The Qian family's departure was not just a rumor. She needed to find out more tomorrow.
