The eldest girl actually got up too, and she and the second girl stood shoulder to shoulder behind Tian Shiluo. The two sisters www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion looked directly at the rice flower in front of them.

Xia Zhi's gaze swept quickly over several people, she didn't pay attention to the eldest girl and the second girl, her attention was on these begging people.

There were a total of five people begging for food, all dressed in tatters, and in the winter, they did not wear cotton clothes at all. The clothes they wore could hardly be called clothes, they could only cover their bodies so that they would not show their ugliness, and their hands, necks, feet and necks were exposed, and they were as dark as their heads and faces.

A family of five should be a family. The old man was not only thin but also very short, and looked at least sixty or seventy years old, and the old lady was a head taller than the old man, and she looked a little younger, but she should have looked fifty or sixty years old.

Three young men, two young men, a girl, the eldest was a short one, the other man and a woman were not short, the girl looked to be the youngest, also fifteen or sixteen years old.

Standing at the front, there is the old lady who is closest to Tian's. She looked at Tian with a thin face, but there seemed to be light flashing in her cloudy eyes, and there were tears on her cheeks.

The rest of the family behind her, like her, huddled in the cold wind.

"What's going on, who is this, and where did it come from?" Xia Zhi walked over and asked.

The eldest girl and the second girl didn't speak, and the two of them automatically gave way to the side. Tian opened his mouth, but only let out a sound of unknown meaning.

But before Tian could explain, the old lady had already spoken first: "It's nothing, girl, don't be afraid." We just want food, passing by here. If the girl has food, she will give us a bowl, and if she doesn't, forget it. Let's go ......."

said that he was going to leave, but there was mud and water under his feet, and he seemed to be reluctant to go.

He only said that he was asking for food, so could it be that he made up what Xiao Shu'er said just now? Xiao Shu'er is a child who has a problem and sometimes lies, but he has no reason to make up such lies.

Xia Zhi's gaze swept over the faces of the old lady and her family, and then paused on Tian's face. There is no need for them to speak, Xia Zhi also knows that there must be something here.

Anyway, even if it's really just a family who comes to ask for food in front of them, Xia Solstice can't let them go like this.

"Rice has. It's all at the door, so let's let you go like this. Let's all go inside and eat something hot. "Xia Solstice beckoned a few people into the house.

The old lady hesitated a little, and secretly glanced at Tian with her eyes.

"My mother invites you into the house. Xia Zhi immediately said, "This is Daxingzhuang, our family name is Xia." You go out and ask someone casually, we don't dare to say that it is a good house, if there is a person who asks for food at the door, we will not let the family leave with an empty stomach. Let's all go inside. Xia Zhi said again.

"Let you enter the house, you will enter the house, this sixteen has the final say. The little black fish immediately said, and then he also told Xiao Xia Lin to find Mrs. Xia, "Go to the backyard and talk to your grandmother." ”

came to beg for food, and Mrs. Xia must have to help.

Xiao Xia Lin agreed, and immediately turned around and ran on his short legs.

The old lady also saw that although Xia Zhi was young, he was in charge of the house. Her gaze was a little uncontrollable on Xia Zhi's face.

Tian finally spoke at this time: "Let's all go into the house." "The voice is very small, and it is particularly lacking in confidence.

The summer solstice was ahead, and everyone followed into the house with a hula la. When they entered the hall and were about to enter the east house, the old lady's family hesitated a little.

The house was so neat and clean that they didn't dare to step on their legs when they looked at themselves, as if they would stain it as soon as they entered. The old lady was also very careful to sneak a look at Xia Zhi and Tian's face.

Tian had a straight face, and he couldn't see any expression.

Xia Zhi's expression was very natural, and she could also see the worry and crampedness of the old lady's family: "Come in, it's warmer in the house." ”

"Let's be in the outhouse. The old lady said with a smile. She smiled, and her whole face was deeply wrinkled. However, at this time, Xia Zhi already knew that the old lady should not be an old lady. Although she looked very old, it could be heard from her voice that she should not be as old as she seemed on the surface.

"Auntie, you can go into the house, it's okay. We are the Zhuang family, this is the leisure time, clean up. When the farming is busy, we also work on the soil. It's okay, come in. ”

I don't know if it was the words of the summer solstice that moved this particularly old woman. She burst into tears again. "Girl, your name is sixteen, you look like you~ mother. ”

"Let's go inside. Xia Zhi let the family into the house, and then glanced at Erya.

The eldest girl and the second girl have been living in the Xia family for a while, and they can be regarded as having some color. The two sisters were busy carrying the washbasin and carrying water, and the woman's family insisted on washing their hands and faces before they were willing to enter the east house.

When she entered the east room, the woman looked around and didn't dare to look again, so she asked her to sit on the kang, but she hesitated and refused to sit. Xia Zhi knew that she felt that her clothes were buried, and she was afraid that the kang would be dirty.

"It's okay, when you get home, you're all guests, how can you talk if you don't sit down. Xia Zhiqiang asked the woman to sit, but the man and the three young men refused to sit no matter what, and only stood behind the woman.

This time, Xia Zhi has already carefully looked at the washed faces of the woman's family several times. Even if it is eroded by the years of wind and frost, something can still be seen from the bone physiognomy.

"Auntie, where are you from? Are you suffering from a disaster, or are you fleeing......" Xia Zhi talked to the woman, and asked the woman from which direction she entered the village and where she begged?

"We are people from the south, and in the past few years, we have suffered a lot of disasters, and we can't go on, and many people in the village have starved to death. We heard that there was food to eat in the north, so we came. The woman replied in a low voice, and said in which direction she had entered the village, but nothing else.

"Auntie, you're from the south. Why do I hear your accent like ours in Beizhen Mansion?" Xia Zhi asked again.

The expression on the woman's face was a little flustered, and her eyes subconsciously glanced towards Tian. Tian sat next to him, and gave up the position of head to Xia Zhi without any objection. Tian still had no expression on his face at the moment, but his eyes were a little confused.

The woman didn't seem to get any answers and guidance from Tian's face, and she said to Xia Zhi very vaguely: "Yes, can't it......"

"Is my aunt a local who moved to the south later?" Xia Zhi asked again.

"Yes, ah, ah, no......" The woman went to see Tian again.

At this time, I heard the sound of the back door, and Sun Lan'er, Sun Xiu'er, Layue and Guo Yuhuan walked in, each with something to eat.

"Sister, let me bring you food. "Layue entered the house and said to the summer solstice.

Mrs. Xia thought very thoughtfully, and knew that Xia Zhi didn't have anything to eat at home now, so she asked Layue to send a few meals.

"Big ~ milk said, it's not enough for her to do it again. Sun Lan'er also said to Xia Zhi.

The woman's family had warmed up by this time. As soon as this meal came in, Xia Solstice heard a gurgling sound, very loud, and I don't know which of the woman's family came from the stomach.

Xia Zhi no longer talked to women, but took Sun Lan'er and Layue to put them on the table, set up dishes and chopsticks, and let the woman's family eat on the table.

"Eat first, eat dinner, and then let's talk slowly. ”

But the woman's family refused to serve the table, only served the bowl and squatted on the ground to eat. At first, they had some scruples, but they soon devoured them in a big gulp.

I don't know how long I've been hungry.

Xia Zhi watched it for a while, and then asked Layue and Erya to pour water for the woman's family to drink, and then walked to the hall. The little black fish also came out.

When he arrived in the hall, the smile on Xia Zhi's face was gone. She stood there with a dark face, as if waiting for something. The little black fish looked at the summer solstice with some puzzlement.

"Sixteen, what's wrong with you?" asked the little black fish cautiously, because Xia Zhi's face was terrifying, and he lowered his voice. This is also a tacit understanding that has been cultivated with the summer solstice for a long time.

"It's fine. ”

That's what he said, but Xia Zhi's heart was turning over. I talked to the woman just now, and the woman's family should have gone directly to her house after entering the village. Ordinary beggers don't do this, even if they pick people's homes, they don't go straight to her house. Moreover, even if they knew that the Xia family was doing something today, they should go directly to the backyard instead of the front yard.

Think of what Xiao Shu'er told her again......

The woman is not like Tian's long, but she is very much like another person.

The woman is too similar to Tian Wang's family.

There are also a lot of strange places.

When the summer solstice came out, she felt uncomfortable, and at the same time she was waiting for someone. She was waiting for Tian, she was waiting for Tian to come out and say something to her.

After waiting for a long time, Tian finally came out of the East House. When she went to the hall and saw the posture of the summer solstice, she understood in her heart. But she didn't speak, but glanced at the little black fish, and then looked into the room.

In the house, Sun Lan'er, Sun Xiu'er, Layue and Guo Yuhuan are still there.

Xia Zhi shook her head slightly, she snorted softly, and called out a few Layue: "Tell our grandmother, let's boil some more porridge, and find two old clothes." "Signal the eldest girl and the second girl here to help take care of it, and let them help Mrs. Xia Zhang Luo.

A few of them left.

The little black fish stood firmly beside the summer solstice. Daqing was not by his side, in the house.

"Say it. "The summer solstice said.

Tian knew that this sentence was said to her, Xia Zhi sent everyone else away, but he would not take away the little black fish. Tian didn't understand why Xia Zhi was so close to Little Black Fish, but she was completely helpless about this.

"That's your aunt, it's your second aunt. Tian didn't do any foreshadowing, so he said it directly, with a look of self-abandonment.

"Is it the second aunt who was sold to the merchant and followed to the south?" Xia Zhi asked Tian busily.

Tian nodded: "It's her, I didn't recognize it at first." Over the years, too much has changed. If she hadn't said it, I wouldn't have recognized it on the other side. ”

Saying this, Tian's eyes also turned red. "I didn't expect to see your second aunt in this life. I'm stupid. Your second aunt was in good shape back then, and she could do it better than the average older man......"

Then Tian cried.

Xia Solstice suddenly understood. Tian's heart should also be uncomfortable.

"Mother, you recognize the second aunt, why don't you let people into the house, still standing in the cold wind. When I came...... , They are still planning to leave, because they can see that you don't plan to recognize them, right?" Xia Zhi led Tian to the West House, and then asked.

Tian wiped away her tears, but her face twitched a little~, which shows that she should be very excited and conflicted at the moment.

“…… That's it, you all look down on me and the Lao Tian family. If you ask for food again, who of you can still look up to me? I have become your laughing stock! All these years, am I easy...... Who would have thought that I would never be able to see each other again in my life. …… It's not that I don't recognize it, I ......"

Tian looked at Xia Solstice with a flushed face. She seemed to be expecting what Summer Solstice would say.

But Xia Solstice was not destined to say what she expected.

"Who of us looks down on you, looks down on the Lao Tian family. Even if we tell you that we look down on the Lao Tian family, it is not because the Lao Tian family is poor. If they go through a serious life and don't follow the crooked ways, they will be so poor that they need food, and I will respect them and recognize them as relatives. Xia Zhi said with a cold face.

Then Xia Zhi also pointed in the direction of the East House: "Mother, have you seen it?" People want food, but there is a girl by their side. If you left your affordable Lao Tian family, I'm afraid I would have sold that girl a long time ago. ”

A young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, if she wanted to sell it, she would have sold it a long time ago.

Tian had nothing to say.

Xia Zhi took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions before discussing with Tian: "...... I heard about it in Fucheng, and some places in the south have been either drought or flood in recent years. If you want food to come to our door, you should have come to us. ”

"Mother, what are you going to do?" Xia Zhi asked Tian.

As for why Tian recognized the second sister but didn't recognize each other immediately, the reason for this Xia Zhi didn't plan to investigate deeply.

She had no expectations for Tian Laidi, so she was not disappointed.

Tian still looks like he is giving up on himself. "Now I'm not at home, if you ask me what to do, what can I do. I don't have anything. They took refuge in me, and they did it wrong. ”

Tian's requirements for Old Man Tian and Tian Wang's are not this attitude!

"I'm going to keep them, don't you object?" Xia Zhi thought about it and said to Tian.

Tian was a little surprised, but not too surprised. "A big family, you can feed it. A day or two of travel, that's going to be a long time. You ~ grandpa and your grandmother can't be happy. ”

"Mother, you just say that you don't object. ”

"What am I against. You think about it. Tian thought for a while before saying.

"Okay, then I'll leave people behind. "Xia Zhi made a decision neatly.

"Summer solstice, can you ......" Tian looked at Xia Solstice carefully.

"It's time for us to let them freeze and starve, I have a way. Xia Zhi smiled.
