Chapter 19: Collapse
Uncle Xia looked at his mother's unfathomable appearance, and said impatiently, "Mom, you love my son, just say it!"
Mrs. Xia sighed and said directly, "If you want me to say, it's very simple, you just need to promise not to do anything to my good grandson in the future." ”
Uncle Xia was also speechless about his mother's request, so he immediately made a guarantee.
As soon as Mrs. Xia saw that the matter was right, she thought that she had to be a veteran, so she said triumphantly: "This matter was bitten to death, and it was the second child who offended them and caused the trouble." It is said that catching a thief and taking dirt, even if you know it in your heart, you can't do it without evidence. They didn't say that Renwa did it, so didn't you scare yourself?"
Mrs. Xia saw that she had made things clear, so she didn't care about Uncle Xia, who was still tangled, thinking that her good grandson was angry with her today, and she would reward her well, so she went straight to the kitchen to see what delicious food she could make.
Uncle Xia always felt a little awkward and struggled for a long time, but for the sake of his own face, he still responded, thinking about talking to his mother again, but when he looked up and found that the person was gone, he couldn't help but sigh that his mother's fiery temperament was really the same as back then.
…………
After eating potatoes and cabbage for several days, Xia Xia felt that she was going to become potato and cabbage, at first glance she smelled the fragrant lard, Xia Xia's saliva unconsciously stayed, Xia Dad and Xia Ma looked at their daughter's gluttony, and couldn't help laughing, Xia Xia stiffened her face, and her watery apricot eyes were full of accusations, as if she was saying that if you laugh again, you will no longer pay attention to you. Xia's mother covered her mouth stiffly, for fear of laughing again, and Xia's father, who had a slightly better self-control, tightened his face and said seriously, "Wait for the next meal to be cooked, wait a while!"
Later, Xia Xia learned that the autumn harvest requires a lot of effort, so even the poorest people in the village will put more oil and water in the meals.
Xia's father used the excuse to go out, but in fact, he went to see how long it would take to cook, but he didn't think that as soon as he entered the kitchen door, he was sneered at by Wang Guihua, and Xia Xia, who had a big heart, didn't go to his heart, after all, this person was just his sister-in-law.
Dad Xia estimated that the food would be cooked for a while, thinking that the meal would be called later, so he went straight to the yard, but he didn't think that it was just a few minutes of work, and Dad Xia's world collapsed again.
Maybe Mrs. Xia's logic is too strong, maybe Uncle Xia's face is really valuable, anyway, Uncle Xia was completely convinced, thinking that all this was deserved by the second room. So things inadvertently took a small turn, and the whole thing went in the exact opposite direction.
I don't know if it's because of the sudden madness, Uncle Xia saw Dad Xia staying alone in the hospital, so he stepped forward and said with a face full of resentment, "It's really like what Mom said, it happened when you offended someone?"
Dad Xia watched his eldest brother come over, and heard his words that seemed to be caring, his heart suddenly warmed, thinking that there were still people in this family who cared about him, and wanted to confess the matter, and thinking that this was his own nephew and niece, so he made a detour, "Brother, how is this possible, all outside the village, I don't see anyone who looks up and looks down, and you don't know what kind of character I have?"
At this time, Uncle Xia also suddenly came to his senses, and he wanted to slap himself, but he had to go over it, so he followed Mrs. Xia's idea and made it up to the point, "Maybe it's inadvertently offending people and making people hold grudges, you have to stop thinking about it, otherwise this will go on forever, but there will be endless troubles in the future." ”
Dad Xia always knew that his eldest brother was honest, and he didn't turn his head around when he usually did things, thinking about the child's teaching from an early age, so he said bluntly, "Brother, I didn't want to tell you, I was afraid that you would be angry, but it was inappropriate, so I said it anyway." This has nothing to do with outsiders, and it's not that I, the younger brother, have won people, but your family Tiantian and Renwa did it, I guess it's for a few eggs given by Uncle Xia!"
When Uncle Xia heard this, he didn't know if he had been exposed to the truth, so he was embarrassed and said angrily, "Second brother, how can you be like this, it's not terrible to do something wrong, it's terrible to not know how to reflect." Besides, what kind of children are Tiantian and Renwa, I don't know how to be a father, don't talk nonsense, save me from being a big brother!"
Dad Xia wondered if he hadn't made it clear about this, so he no longer concealed the details and told everything about it.
But Uncle Xia still looked like a calf, and said coldly, "You catch thieves and take stolen goods, you are an uncle, don't convict people blindly if you don't have evidence." ”
Dad Xia chattered for a long time, and he didn't say any evidence, who let these things know by heart, and there is no one else in the family, I am afraid I don't believe it according to his eldest brother's temperament.
In this way, Uncle Xia and Dad Xia, who had different thoughts, chatted there with or without a match, knowing that it was only after shouting to eat that the two of them ended this embarrassing state and went into the house separately.
Dad Xia hurried into the house without stopping, for fear that his baby girl would be in a hurry. As soon as he entered the house, Xia's father hugged Xia Xia as a good kiss, and he didn't even sit down, so he hugged Xia Xia to the dining place in the hall.
Here, Xia's father stayed in the hall for a while, and found that his eldest brother hadn't brought the child over, thinking that his words would not be pondered by the eldest brother and teach the child in the house, so he hurriedly placed Xia Xia on the chair, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the big room without caring about what he said.
Dad Xia just walked into the door of the big house and found that there was no crying, so he was about to call someone to eat, but he never thought that his eldest brother's voice came from the house, "Your second uncle's house was ruined like that, it must have been done by you, don't be in a hurry to deny it, don't forget that you are my cubs, and you will know what shit is when you pout your butt." I won't pursue this matter, but you have to remember to me that this matter has nothing to do with you, it is your second uncle who offended them, you know?"
Xia's father's heart suddenly cooled.
Xia Tiantian and Xia Ren in the house heard their father's arrangement, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dad, we know, don't worry!
At this moment, Xia's father's heart hurt, and this is his caring nephew and niece, it turns out that he sees himself like this. Xia's father, whose heart was half cold, didn't squeak anymore, and was about to go to the hall, but when he heard his daughter's name again, his footsteps stopped, and he heard his nephew Xia Ren, who had grown up in pain, shouting angrily, "Dad, don't you see that Nan Nan lost money and ate boiled eggs." I asked him to dare to resist, it's really cheap, see if I don't subdue her next time......
Dad Xia thought that his eldest brother would say a few words to the child, but he just covered the child's mouth and motioned him to be quieter so that he would not be heard.
Dad Xia pressed his heart, and the whole person was stuck on the wall, afraid of missing a sentence.
The people in the room didn't know that someone was eavesdropping, and they were still venting their dissatisfaction there, especially Xia Ren, who was covering his mouth, and said angrily, "Dad, what are we afraid of, didn't you say that everything in the second room belongs to our family?
And so it goes.
Father Xia, who was outside the house, heard everything inside clearly, and the despair and disbelief in his heart instantly flooded over. Afraid of being discovered, Dad Xia pressed his body and moved out step by step, and when he felt that it was about the same, he quickly retreated into the hall, as if there was an evil ghost chasing after him.
Seeing that his cheap father had been gone for so long and hadn't come back, Xia Xia planned to take a look, but when he was about to move down from his seat, he saw Xia Dad walking into the house with a panicked face. Xia Xia thought that something must have happened, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, and looking at the current environment, it was not suitable to ask, thinking about asking after eating!
After a while, Uncle Xia also came over with two children, and at this time, Xia's father was obviously short of breath.
When they were eating, Xia Ren and Xia Tiantian put steamed egg custard specially given by Mrs. Xia next to them, and Xia Xia, who was treated differently, was not dissatisfied, who made her have no expectations for Mrs. Xia at all?
Instead, Xia's mother opened her mouth to ask, but was choked back by Mrs. Xia.
Xia Ren and Xia Tiantian looked at Xia Xia proudly, as if to say that you can't eat it, I'm hungry for you!
Xia Xia is not a fool, why don't you feel it, but she still eats without distraction, but Xia's father next to her is breathing significantly heavier, but he still looks absent-minded on his face, and he doesn't know how to eat, so he is stunned there.
Seeing that everyone else was rushing to eat there, Xia's mother hurriedly poked Xia's father and signaled him to eat quickly, don't have to eat once. But Dad Xia was still like that, until he returned to the house after eating, he still didn't come to his senses.
When she returned to the house, Xia's mother hurriedly asked Xia's father what was wrong, and Xia's father symbolically said a few words, and the whole person was very perfunctory, but he still cared, "Hurry up and rest, you have to go to work in the afternoon!" Xia Xia wanted to give Xia's father the boiled eggs that he hadn't eaten in the morning, but obviously Xia's heart was not here, so he had to make other plans.
So the family of three rested on the bed that was trampled incorrectly, but as for the rest, only one person knows.
Xia's mother, who had no heart and lungs, slept on the bed, but Xia Xia thought that her cheap father was hit, and it would definitely be beneficial to her if nothing happened, so she fell asleep with a beautiful mood.
Xia Dad turned over for a while, the whole person was anxious, and his mind kept flashing the scene he was eavesdropping, and his thoughts were far away, when he was a child, he and his eldest brother went up the mountain to steal bird eggs, and went down to the river to fish One by one, the two extreme pictures kept crossing and converting, which made Xia Dad struggle and entangled.
It is not an empty phrase that an eldest brother is like a father. In childhood, many brothers took on the role of father, obviously, Uncle Xia played such a role like a father and brother in Xia's father's life, it is no exaggeration to say that Uncle Xia has an unparalleled status in Xia's father's heart.
It can be said that Dad Xia was thinking there all afternoon. For a while, I wondered if I had heard it wrong, and for a while, I wondered when my eldest brother had changed, and for a while, I was distressed and sad that in the time I didn't know, how many sins my child had suffered......
Time passed quietly, and when he got up to work, Xia Dad still maintained that thoughtful look, as if all the disturbances in the outside world had nothing to do with it. Xia's mother woke up first, thinking that Xia's father had slept well, but she was stunned, so she poked and signaled to clean up. Maybe it's because the action of getting up is a bit big, Xia Xia was also woken up.
Xia Xia looked at Xia's father and they hadn't left yet, so he threw himself into Xia's father's arms, not forgetting to offer treasures, "Dad, this is the boiled egg I left for you, eat it quickly, otherwise you won't have the strength to work in the afternoon!"
Dad Xia listened to his daughter's sweet words to the bottom of his heart, and his heart was instantly warmed up when he was hit by his relatives, and the whole person seemed to come to life, so he deliberately used his stubble to prick Xia Xia's little face, and said, "Yo, my daughter also knows how to feel sorry for people, she is really Dad's good daughter!"
Xia Xia was stabbed, so he hurriedly hid in Xia's father's arms, how could this little person escape Xia's father's big palm, so the father and daughter made a mess, and Xia's mother next to her laughed when she saw this, thinking that there was a daughter, and her husband was happy anyway.
For a moment, the room was filled with laughter, as if all the worries were gone.
