Chapter 171: Feelings

"Your second aunt, ......" Grandma Zhuzhu had already said so much to Xia Zhi, but when it came to the second aunt of the Tian family, she still sighed and seemed to be a little unable to continue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xia Zhi had no choice but to ask again, asking where the second aunt of the Tian family was hired by Old Man Tian.

"Hey," Grandma Zhuzhu slowed down, and then told Xia Zhi, "There was a merchant selling goods in Tunzi that year, probably thirty or forty years old." He gave all the money on his body to your grandfather, and your grandfather asked him to take your second aunt away. ”

"Huh?" Xia Zhi was dumbfounded, and asked Grandma Zhuzhu again, "That merchant, where did he take my second aunt?" ”

"I don't know, I heard that he is from the south. I didn't have a daughter-in-law when I was thirty or forty years old, and I said that I was going to take your second aunt home to live. Grandma Zhuzhu said.

After talking about it for a long time, Xia Solstice finally understood. Old man Tian changed the bride price of the two daughters in front of him, and they were not hired by good people. Come to think of it, how can a good family buy a daughter-in-law. Moreover, the specific whereabouts of Old Man Tian's two daughters are not clear, and they have never come back since they left the backing mountain, nor have they heard from the Tian family.

"Two hard-working children, I don't know if they are still alive." Grandma Zhuzhu said quietly.

That's right, it's hard to say whether these two people are alive or not now. Compared to them, the Tian family can really be called happy. However, this happiness was largely won for her by Tian's two sisters, of course, because of Tian's good looks.

"Those two children haven't enjoyed a day of happiness, and you~ mother, are a blessed one. The days of your grandmother's house, thanks to you~ mother. Grandma Zhuzhu mentioned the Tian family again, and how the Tian family helped the old man Tian's family.

"That's thanks to my two aunts, otherwise wouldn't my mother have let them feed the wolves in the mountains?" Xia Zhi also said quietly.

"That's it." Grandma Zhuzhu's next words were much more tactful. The blind dates of the backers are very disdainful of the various actions of Old Man Tian and Tian Wang's family, and they believe that good and evil will be rewarded. Old man Tian and Tian Wang's family threw the baby girl, and treated the two daughters so inappropriately, this is a matter of damaging yin morality.

If you do too many things that damage yin and morality, there will be retribution. Old man Tian and Tian Wang are both very shrewd people, Uncle Tian is not so smart, but he is not stupid, and the daughter-in-law he married Jiang, who is also a very neat daughter-in-law. But such a family, in the end, only has one grandson, Tian Dabao.

The people who support the mountain and Tun'er all say behind their backs that the reason why Old Man Tian's family has only one grandson is still a fool~, that is, the retribution for the lack of morality they did in the past has arrived.

"You~ mother really didn't say anything to your grandma and your grandfather." Grandma Zhuzhu said with a smile, "Originally, your grandmother's house lived in the most dilapidated house on our street, thanks to you~ Mother took the money back, and only then did she build those five big tile houses, which are also the only ones in the backing mountain." ”

Because Xia Zhi was careful, he asked the old man Tian what year the house was built. This matter is a very sensational event for the backer, and Grandma Zhuzhu still lives on the same street as the old man Tian's family, so she is naturally very clear.

Grandma Zhuzhu said a day, Xia Zhi made a little calculation in her heart, it should have been ten years ago. It would take a lot of money to build five of those large tiled houses and enclose the yards. But according to Xiao Xia Zhi's memory, the Tian family never asked Xia Xiu for money for the reason of building a house.

Ten years ago, something happened in the family. What Xia Zhi knew, only the Tian family and Xia Xiu separated from Old Man Xia and moved to the front yard to live in another house.

Xia Zhi's eyes turned to Xia Qiao, the three of them, if there is anyone who can remember this incident, it is Xia Qiao.

Xia Qiao's face was a little dazed, ten years ago, he was only four years old. How many things can a four-year-old remember. If the adults in the family deliberately conceal him and mislead him, then his memory will be even more unreliable.

"That year, I don't remember much, but I heard our mother say that our grandmother was very sick or something." Xia Qiao searched hard for his memories, and in the end there was only such a small result.

"Ten years ago? When did your grandmother get sick? We don't even know. Your grandmother has good bones, and she hasn't heard of any serious illness in these years. Grandma Zhu said.

Xia Zhi frowned slightly: "Ten years ago, was our sister ...... by our mother ten years ago" Xia Zhi didn't say everything, but Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er both knew what she was going to say.

Ten years ago, Tian sold his eldest daughter Xia Yue because he wanted to raise money to treat his father and mother, and he really had no choice. If Grandma Zhuzhu hadn't lied, Tian Wang's family was not sick at all, then Tian would have sold Xia Yue to build a house and repair a yard for Old Man Tian.

What Xia Zhi can figure out, Xia Qiao can figure it out even if he reacts more slowly. Xia Qiao sat there, although his posture had not changed, his face had changed. After sitting for a while, Xia Qiao suddenly stood up and walked away briskly without saying anything.

"Brother!" Xiao Shu'er stood up and wanted to pull Xia Qiao but didn't hold it, he called Xia Qiao, Xia Qiao didn't seem to hear it, and walked away in such a big stride.

"Sister, what's wrong with our brother?" Xiao Shu'er turned back and asked about the summer solstice.

"I guess I thought of something and went back first." Xia Zhi said lightly, let Xiaoshu'er not worry. "Our brother is steady, and nothing can happen."

Xiao Shu'er listens to her sister's words very much, and Xia Zhi is also right, Xia Qiao has a soft temperament ~ soft, and he is the most stable in doing things, and he is the most troublesome character. Xiao Shu'er relieved herself and sat back next to the summer solstice.

Grandma Zhuzhu sensed that something was wrong, and she looked at Xia Solstice hesitantly.

Xia Zhi was busy reassuring Grandma Zhu: "Fifth grandma, it's okay, my brother will go back first." Let's keep chattering. Fifth grandma, I'd love to listen to your grandma's chatter. ”

"You kid, why is your mouth so sweet. You are not like you~ Mother, nor like your grandmother's family. Grandma Zhu smiled.

Xia Zhi talked to Grandma Zhuzhu again this time, and the goal was clearer. She and Xiao Shu'er chatted with Grandma Zhuzhu in front of the Land Temple until the sunset, and the people who had had dinner slowly came out to enjoy the coolness.

Because there were a lot of children here, Xia Solstice gave them all the candy bars they bought. At this time, Xia Solstice and Xiaoshuer have become the most popular people here. Many people were embarrassed to come up to talk to them, but at this time they dared to come over and say a few words to them.

The people who are backing on the mountain are all looking up and curious about the Xia family, and Xia Zhi has learned more and more about Old Man Tian's family and what they have done over the years from their words.

Where the money Tian took back to his mother's house was spent by Old Man Tian in the end, Xia Zhi already knew in his heart.

Xia Zhi talked to the big guy in front of the Land Temple, and he was a little happy and forgot to return. In the end, it was Jiang who was sent over to find her, saying that it was late and it was time to go back and rest.

When everyone saw that the Jiang family was coming, they all stopped talking. Xia Zhi almost understood the situation, so he said goodbye to everyone and followed the Jiang family back with Xiao Shu'er.

Along the way, Jiang tentatively talked to Xia Zhi. She also told Xia Solstice to be careful when she went back.

"You two have been out playing for so long, and your grandfather is a little unhappy. Your grandfather's rules are not quite the same as your family's. Like your eldest sister and second sister, you are not allowed to go out if you are fine, and they are even said to be playing outside so late. "Jiang told Xia Zhi this, but there was no malice, and there was some meaning to send a message to Xia Zhi to please Xia Zhi.

"Wait a while and get home, don't care what your grandma and your grandfather say, don't say anything to the two of you, and it will save your father and mother embarrassment."

"Got it, auntie." Xia Zhi responded with a smile, but said again, "I guess my grandma and my grandfather can't say anything." We are guests here, we have to abide by the rules, and we also abide by the rules of the old Xia family. My grandfather was very reasonable at first glance, and he probably wouldn't do such an unreasonable thing. ”

"At home, my grandfather and my grandmother don't count us. My grandma and my grandfather, why are they? ”

The summer solstice flowers are all said with a smile, but the content is not like that. Jiang Shi glanced at Xia Zhi a few more times, and became more and more sure that Xia Zhi was a little girl who was not easy to mess with.

"What did you say on the summer solstice...... There's nothing wrong with that. Jiang Xiao talked to Xia Zhi, "Just don't let your grandmother and them hear, aunt is for your good." ”

It is still good to sell to the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi didn't say anything, and asked Jiang if he saw Xia Qiao: "Why didn't my brother pick us up?" ”

"Your brother seems to have gone up the mountain, and your uncle and your father have gone to look for him." Jiang told Xia Solstice.

"My brother has gone into the mountains?" Xia Zhi was shocked, "Isn't there a wolf in this mountain, it's almost dark now!" ”

"It's okay, your uncle and your father went into the mountains to look for it, they will definitely be able to find someone before dark, and they can't let something happen to the bridge." Jiang hurriedly said.

Xia Zhi refused to go slowly, she still thought that Jiang was walking slowly, she and Xiao Shu'er left Jiang behind, and ran back.

It was already dark, and there were still a few yards away from Old Man Tian's house, and Xia Zhi saw a group of several people coming down from the hillside.

"Little Shu'er, look at it, is that our brother?" Xia Solstice asked Xiao Shu'er.

Xiao Shu'er's eyes were very sharp, and he said that it was Xia Qiao, Uncle Tian and Xia Xiu who came down from the mountain. Xia Zhi only then relieved his heart, but his feet did not slow down. They met Xia Xiucai, Xia Qiao, and Uncle Tian at the door of Tian's house.

At this time, Jiang had only walked to the corner of the street.

"Brother." As soon as several people met, Xia Zhi first called Xia Qiao.

Xia Qiao seemed to hear the worry in Xia Zhi's tone, and he hurriedly walked over. "Sixteen, I'm fine. Why didn't you two come back? ”

Xia Zhi raised her head, although the sky was dark, she could still see Xia Qiao's face clearly. At first glance, Xia Qiao is normal, and there is no abnormal look on his face. But if people who know Xia Qiao look carefully, they can find that something is wrong with Xia Qiao.

Xia Qiao's eyes were wrong, although they were still gentle and gentle, but there was something added to them that seemed to be indelible. It should not only be confused, but also something else, which is frightening and sad.

"Brother." Xia Zhi shouted again and reached out to hold Xia Qiao's hand.

Xia Qiao's hands were cold.

Xia Qiao's hands are wide and soft, even if there are a lot of calluses in the palms of his hands that have grown all year round, they are still soft and very warm. All year round, Xia Qiao's palms are warm, a young man's hand.

At this moment, Xia Qiao's palms are cold, which is naturally not blown by the evening breeze in the next summer, even if the temperature in the mountains is indeed lower than outside.

Xia Qiao let Xia Zhi shake his hand for a while, and then broke free and touched the top of Xia Zhi's head. "I'm fine, Sixteen."

This sentence was said in a low voice, and only the brother and sister knew what it meant.

"Hmm." Xia Zhi just hummed and didn't say anything else. It seems that after Xia Qiao was stimulated a lot, he did not choose to question Tian and make a fuss. He went to the mountains alone, and I don't know if he thought things through, whether he thought about it or not.

Jiang rushed to the door, and everyone entered the courtyard. The Tian family and the Tian Wang family, as well as the eldest and second girls, were all standing in the courtyard. Seeing them returning, Tian immediately greeted them.

"You're all playing wild, aren't you, it's getting late, and you're still thinking about it like you're at home, and you're spoiled." As soon as Tian came up, he counted down with a straight face.

If it was placed in normal times, Xia Qiao would not explain to Tian, but would also take the initiative to apologize to Tian. But today's Xia Qiao was motionless and didn't say a word. He also lowered his head and did not look at Tian.

Tian counted the three children behind, and at this time, she had not noticed the strangeness of her eldest son. She pointed to Xia Qiao and counted alone: "You are a brother, you are usually very stable, what is the matter today, and you went to the mountains alone." You make your grandma and your grandpa worry a lot, you know? I have to let your uncle go into the mountains to find you in the dark! What if your uncle has a good place? ”

Speaking of which, not only did they make Old Man Tian and Tian Wang's family angry, but the most serious fault and sin was Uncle Tian who went into the mountains to find someone.

The Tian family counted the bridge, while looking at the Tian Wang family behind him, and then at Uncle Tian on the opposite side, and then secretly glanced in the direction of the upper room.

The landlord's house was already lit up, and the figure of Old Man Tian could be seen from the window. Old man Tian sat upright on the kang and seemed to be holding a dry tobacco pouch in his hand. He didn't look into the courtyard either, but turned his back to the window.

Tian secretly gritted his teeth, raised his hand and gave Xia Qiao a slap. "I'll make you feel uneasy, and I won't apologize to your uncle soon."

Xia Qiao didn't dodge at all, and the slap landed firmly on his face. Xia Qiao covered his face with one hand and raised his eyes to look at Tian.

Tian suddenly felt a chill in his back, and involuntarily took two steps back. "What, what, I, I mistyped you!" Tian stammered a little when he spoke. Xia Qiao had always been docile and considerate to her, and he had never looked at her with such eyes.

Xia Qiao's eyes made Tian shudder. (To be continued.) )
