When Xiao Xia's mother-in-law mentioned the matter of the sixth brother to Xia Xiucai, she hesitated for a long time and thought of a lot of rhetoric. Unexpectedly, Xia Xiucai listened to it, and only snorted: "There are so many sons and grandsons, just such a seed." ”

Xiao Xia Pozi couldn't understand that when she fought on the battlefield, her life was gone, where was there any kind of seed.

Xia Xiucai thought for a while and then answered: "I'll write a letter to the second child and ask him to see if he can find an errand to escort grain and grass." ”

Xiao Xia sighed, this is also appropriate.

On Wang Xiucai's side, Mrs. Xiao Xia prepared another gift and solemnly apologized. I didn't dare to delay the girl, but the Wang family heard about it and said: "The girl in the family is still young, and it doesn't hurt to wait for him for three years." It's just that it's not good to hire now, so as not to have a bad reputation in the future. ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia can understand it when she hears it, and she likes this future daughter-in-law more and more.

talked to Xia Xiucai about Xiaoyu again: "The girl's family can't do this." It's amazing. ”

Xia Xiucai sighed: "Women are already hard, if their parents are not at ease in front of them, wouldn't it be too pitiful." ”

Xiaoxia's mother-in-law said: "I'm afraid that if I get married in the future, my in-laws won't like it." ”

Xia Xiucai scoffed: "Xiaoyu has eight brothers, do you still have to suffer from the in-laws' nests?" I think she's doing well now. ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia had no choice but to say to Mrs. Xia: "Xiaoyu is too lively. ”

Old Xia Pozi snorted, "It's much stronger than those who can't beat a fart with a stick, handsome, and knowledgeable." ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia said again: "Everything is too sharp. I'm afraid that it won't be good for concubines in the future. ”

Mrs. Xia looked at Mrs. Xiao Xia everywhere unpleasantly, but she looked at her granddaughter everywhere, so she pouted: "Like you, it's good to find someone who doesn't have a brother." ”

Xiao Xia was speechless. In my heart, I felt that Xiaoyu's problem was much stricter than that of the sixth brother. So while she was doing needlework, he asked her, "Aren't you afraid of such danger?" ”

Xiaoyu stopped the needle and thread in her hand and looked at her mother strangely: "It should be afraid of me, right?" ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia choked as usual. "That dog is so fierce. Two fangs, the claws sharp. At this time, she is not afraid to stimulate her daughter.

Xiaoyu laughed: "Oops, it's stupid." I've never seen such a stupid one, so I hit the wood knife myself. He shook his head again: "Tie it to the hairpin." ”

Xiao Xia felt that the conversation with her daughter was not on the same line: "Is it that it doesn't want to live anymore?" Bumped into? ”

Xiaoyu also felt that her mother's thinking was easier for ordinary people: "How come? It's not really stupid. But it can hide. Dodge the knife, I know how to dodge his claws. ”

Xiao Xia felt that this was a very failed temptation, but she couldn't help but ask: "Next time, if there is such a thing again"

"I'm sure I'll let the starlings do it!" Xiaoyu leaned back and said indignantly. "Oh, the sixth brother is really, so stingy. I just lied to him, so that he didn't rob me, so I had to leave home to join the army. Until now, when he sees me, he bows his head and goes around, and he doesn't have a manly heart at all, mother, you can help me persuade him. ”

Xiao Xia's mouth immediately opened wide, and it was very worthless for the sixth brother. After half a sound, he asked unwillingly: "Why are you robbing with the sixth brother?" He has great strength, how good it would be for you to give him a firewood knife. ”

"Alas! I regretted it too, and I was sprayed with blood all over my body, and I died of nausea. ”

Xiao Xia sighed, thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the crux of the problem: "These things will be handed over to my brothers in the future." Think about it, if you miss, you and your brother's lives will be gone. ”

Xiao Yu sat up straight all of a sudden, and looked at Xiao Xia Pozi very seriously. Then he raised a fleshy finger and said sternly: "Mother! It's impossible! First, I can't miss, I can see it accurately, it will definitely pounce on itself and poke it to death. ”

For the first time, Mrs. Xiao Xia looked at her daughter.

Xiaoyu stretched out a second finger: "Even if I give up the opportunity to the sixth brother, the sixth brother will dismantle it." ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia was completely speechless, and could only hope that she would marry this daughter to the enemy's family in the future.

A few days later, some people in the village said that the third brother Wang, who was bitten by the mad dog, was a little upside down. Often crying alone for no apparent reason, the family members are scared when they say a few words in a loud voice, and they often cower in a dark place. Some people in the village said that he was scared of his soul, so he invited a Taoist priest to summon his soul.

But seven or eight days have passed, and instead of seeing a good thing, the originally mild-tempered person has become more and more irritable, often roaring and roaring, looking a little like the mad dog. A few days later, some villagers noticed that the livestock that had been bitten by the mad dog were also very strange.

The people in the village were very afraid, and some of the older people said that the disease was terrible. The third brother Wang was locked up in an airtight hut by his family, and passers-by could often hear the sound of banging, banging, banging against the wall from the hut, and within a few months the third brother Wang died.

The people in the village looked at Xiaoyu and Sixth Brother a little strangely, and Xiao Xia began to worry about the two children again.

The third sister-in-law gave birth to a son Ruyao, and after the confinement, the fourth sister-in-law gave birth to a son Ruhong. A month later, the fourth sister-in-law also finished the confinement, and Xiao Xia was finally relieved, and within two days, the eldest sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law were pregnant again. Mrs. Xiao Xia is busy again.

Fortunately, after two or three months, Xiaoyu and Sixth Brother were still alive. Gradually, the villagers forgot about it.

When the sixth brother left, it was already a few months later. Xia Xiucai wrote a letter to the second brother, and the second brother sold a lot of horses from the northwest and Mongolia to the northeast borderland, saying that the Yiwang in the northeast had fought very hard with the Liao people there recently. However, Liang Guogong in the northwest is quite calm here, and the second brother has a brother who worships his son and works as an errand in the northwest garrison, so he entrusted him to find a military errand for the sixth brother.

Xiaoyu hugged the sixth brother and cried fiercely, and gave his sword hairpin to the sixth brother. And he rode his little pony and sent it far away. When the sixth brother saw it, he felt sorry for his sister again, and repeatedly promised that he would come back alive, so Xiaoyu came back with starlings with red eyes.

Although the group of boys of the Xia family went to extend their lives, Yanhui and Ruhai, they quickly added Ruchen from the fifth brother's family. The girls have more Ting'er from the third brother's family.

Although the sixth brother also loves Xiaoyu very much, he is very fair and does not condone Xiaoyu very much. The starling brother is very different, when the sixth brother and the seventh brother are there, he can't see anything, he follows the seventh brother in everything. This time, when he was the "boss", the natural overlord spirit of being the eldest came out.

He doesn't consider other people's feelings at all for Xiaoyu, and is almost doting on an old couple who have a child in their later years. So much so that in the end, Xiaoyu had to restrain himself a little, and sometimes he had to look at the starling, so as not to let him go too far.

When Xiao Xia Pozi was free, she paid more and more attention to Xiaoyu's behavior, but she didn't see her showing a particularly brave and ruthless look. I had to comfort myself and say: It must be an expedient measure to surprise something, and it would be nice to grow up.

The fourth brother's Ruying is also more than three years old, neither like his father nor his mother, and his personality is quite out-of-the-box. Because there is a sister above, she is a little squeamish. Not only did he not like to read, but he was not even interested in his father's carpentry.

On the contrary, it was his sister Yan'er, who was only six or seven years old and had the demeanor of an eldest sister. The face is quite like the fourth sister-in-law, a round little face, but the skin is very fair and delicate, like the tender tofu that has just come out of the pot, so people dare not touch it. At a young age, he behaves moderately, and he respects the little aunt and eldest sister Ting'er above, and loves the younger brothers and sisters below.

The fourth sister-in-law's female red is very top-notch in the concubine, Yan'er followed her mother to learn, and she can already do some simple sewing at a young age. The clothes of several brothers were torn, and most of them were looking for her to mend them.

Ruchen of the fifth brother's family absorbed the advantages of his parents, was born with a good appearance, and was enlightened at home early. I usually watched my father deal with businessmen and government people, and he was neither humble nor arrogant in dealing with people, and he had another style. Xia Xiucai and his wife also liked him a lot.

The sister-in-law's Qin'er is now three or four years old, and she is a little chubby man who looks like a meatball, and her personality is quite stubborn like her eldest brother.

When Ting'er of the third brother's family moved over, she was very "solemn" and pulled a whole cart of things. At that time, the third brother already had a few servants in his family, and Ting'er was very reluctant to go to the inconvenient and deserted countryside. It's just that the third brother kept persuading the third sister-in-law, and in a few years, Ruju married his daughter-in-law, and Ting'er got married. Their brother and sister have too little time together, and I am afraid that the friendship will be weak and they will not be able to help each other.

The third sister-in-law thinks about it, his brother and sister are rarely together except for the New Year's Festival. If it continues like this, it will not be far away, so I have to respond.

Ting'er couldn't, so she packed up a large cart of things in annoyance and came to this small village in a mighty way. Mrs. Xiao Xia also cleaned up a room for Ting'er upstairs, next to Xiaoyu's study.

Although the girls of the Xia family also meet from time to time, they don't play together. Xiaoyu often messes with her brothers, because when she comes to her nieces, she has to hold her aunt's shelf, and many times everyone is not very comfortable.

Ting'er only came over during the New Year's Festival, and often regarded herself as the eldest sister from the city, although Yan'er had a soft personality, she also knew that she often avoided this domineering eldest sister.

Although Qin'er is small, her temperament is very strong, and she recognizes death. Tongyan'er still gets along, and in the past few years, she has become more and more arguing with Ting'er. often makes Ting'er mad, and she is not less criticized by her elders because of this.

So although Ting'er didn't want to come this time, Yan'er and Qin'er didn't have much joy. Despite this, when they heard the sound of the carriage that day, Yan'er and Qin'er inevitably had to go outside to greet them.

As soon as Ting'er came out of the carriage, she saw two rustic sisters standing in front of the door in homespun cloth and floral gowns, and she became more and more annoyed that she was going to such a poor country.

Yan'er and Qin'er looked at the brightly dressed and high-spirited eldest sister. But I saw that she was dressed up very carefully today, with a palm-sized peach cheek and apricot face painted with delicate makeup, two willow eyebrows bent and bent, and a pair of Danfeng eyes. In the end, it is the little girl's family, and there is a little envy in my heart.

Ting'er took the little girl's hand and got off the car, and asked the servants to move the things off the car. Only then did he walk to Yan'er and Qin'er's side, and dragged his two younger sisters in to see his wife and grandmother.

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law watched this eldest granddaughter come to Tingting, although it was a little pretentious, but it was also moving. Mrs. Xia happily took Ting'er's hand and asked the third sister-in-law and Ruyao, who had just completed the moon: "Is your mother okay?" Is it good to sleep like Yao? ”

Ting'er covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Mother has been able to come out of the council, and my younger brother is not troublesome at all, he is very well-behaved." He gave his sister-in-law a salute: "In those days, the eldest aunt worked hard. ”
