Chapter 43 Settlement
The sound of horse hooves became crisp and the dirt road turned into gravel roads. Only then did Ah Fa wake up from his contemplation and self-blame. He looked up at his sister and younger brother, smiled a little, and said, "It's not good for me, I'll make you suffer. Well, it's okay in the future."
Xiaoxi blinked and whispered: "Brother, are we going to Shanghai? Will we live together in the future?"
Ah Fa hesitated for a moment, nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes, go to Shanghai and live in a big house, let's be together."
Xiaoxi smiled with her lips, the heartfelt joy from the bottom of her heart. Ah Fa reached out and patted her on the shoulder. Xiaoxi immediately shrank, and her expression looked painful.
"What's wrong?" Ah was stunned for a moment, then woke up and cursed: "Bastard, did he beat you? It's really not a thing."
"Don't, don't say that." Xiaoxi lowered his head, looked at Ah Fa secretly, and said stutteringly: "No matter what, he is also our father! I blame me for accidentally letting him see the hidden money..."
"Don't ask him in front of me in the future." Ah Fa snorted angrily, turned his head and looked out of the car, and did not make any sound. Only his nose wings were swelling, making him seem to be angry.
Afa didn't speak much along the way, Xiaoxi asked him to chat with him, but he just hummed. When he passed by the pharmacy on the way, Afa got out of the car and bought some trauma medicine, and then went straight back to Jisifeier Road's home.
"Sir." Seeing Ah Fa bringing back two dirty and old children, Aguo just glanced at him strangely, and then he looked at him with a respectful look again.
"This is my sister Xiaoxi and younger brother Xiaozhi." Afa casually introduced, "They will live with me from now on. Well, take Xiaoxi to wash first, apply the medicine to her, and then eat."
"Yes, sir." Aguo hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to make some more food."
"Then you eat first, and then make mine after eating. I'm not hungry, so go back to the house to do something." Ah Fa turned his head and looked at Xiaozhi and said, "You go with Ah Guo too. Oh, she is our maid. Call her if you have any questions."
"Brother" Xiaoxi was a little at a loss in this strange house and shouted in a hurry, as if she wanted Ah Fa to accompany her.
"Go, let's talk about it after you have something to eat." Ah Fa reached out and took the small bag she carried, put it on the chair, turned around and left the hall, came to his room, opened the lock, pushed the door in, and locked it from inside, sat in the soft chair, half closed his eyes, and didn't want to move.
After a while, Afa sat up slowly, lit the gas lamp, stared at the random thoughts for a while, turned on the book on the table, and read absent-mindedly. The dead Afa had almost no education and had a blank head. Now Afa is not very familiar with China's history and geography because of his background and environment. This is indeed a flaw.
The predicted historical time cannot be too accurate. If the years and months are remembered, if they are accurate to the sky, they will exceed the limit of the human brain. Unless they are a historian or have memorized them specifically for some purpose.
But Afa can list historical events in chronological order through reading, understanding and analysis, and then fill in the information that has been recalled in his mind bit by bit like filling in the blanks.
For example, he first listed major events: 1911, the Revolution of 1911; 1914, the First World War; 1937, the Anti-Japanese War; 1939, the Second World War... and then he remembered what he wanted to fill in, supplement the age and the major events.
In fact, Afa didn’t know whether these historical events would happen as scheduled, nor did he know whether this would be useful. It was just that the general psychology of time travelers was causing trouble. He hoped to take shortcuts by taking the foresight. Of course, if the final result is known in advance and then infer the process, Afa had a deeper understanding and perception than the people of his contemporaries, and his ideas and ideas were also very different.
Unfortunately, Ah found that he was in a bad mood and couldn't read the book, so he threw it away, lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling boredly.
For Xiao Xi, expelling his father was a habit, thinking, tradition, and concept... Just like Fangbao was sold, he still sent money to his family and took pride in it. This was the common thought and practice of people at that time, although Ah Fa didn't understand it, he couldn't quite understand it.
After dinner, Aguo, as the maid who was careful to share his duties, did not eat first, but asked the owner to wait before cooking. Therefore, the time pushed back, added some food, and then ordered Afa.
"Aguo, bring it tomorrow, bring it." Afa stuttered for a while before he decided to give it a title, "It's okay to take the lady and the young master to buy a few clothes, buy cloth and find a tailor to make it. There are other supplies, and I'll tell you after the meal." Seeing Xiao Xi and Xiao Zhi a little restrained and cringed in the strange environment, Afa decided to improve their confidence in the name first.
"Yes, sir." Aguo stood obediently and agreed respectfully.
"Eat, eat." Afa greeted his sister and brother, and moved the chopsticks first, and Xiaoxi and Xiaozhi started to move.
Ah Fa's appetite was still very large, but it had stabilized. He ate very quickly and got full after a while. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and sat aside, explained to Ah Guo what he wanted to buy, and took out some money to Ah Guo.
After a while, Xiaoxi finished the meal first, moved carefully to Afa, and his eyes remained close to Afa's head and dress.
"The braids are cut." Ah Fa smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It doesn't matter to the concession. No matter how far away you are, you will have to use fake ones. But it doesn't matter much. I have a foreign passport. Well, you don't understand this yet. Sit down and let's chat."
Xiao Xi smiled with a pursed lips, sat on the chair Ah Fa pointed at, bit her lip and asked, "Brother, when did you build such a big house?"
"It's not long, well, it's been a lot of changes in the past few months since I came out of home. Now that I think about it, I still can't believe it!" Ah Fa smiled and took the tea handed over by Ah Guo and signaled to give Xiaoxi a cup.
"Then, what will Xiaozhi and I do in the future?" Xiaoxi shook her fingers, and the decorations in the room made her not know where to point.
"You don't have to do anything, you two have to go to school." Ah Fa sipped the tea, "You are a little older, but you have to go to school, learn knowledge, and learn culture."
"Can you come to your house?" Xiaoxi asked.
"No, go to the new school." Afa lowered his teacup and said, "Learning new knowledge, medicine, business, science, law, well, will be of great use in the future."
Aguo's movements of cleaning up the dishes slowed down, and a look of admiration appeared on his face.
"Brother" Xiaozhi came over and shouted softly.
