Chapter Forty-Eight: Stay for a Month
Xia Hou picked up the chopsticks and ate first, Xia Lily and others took chopsticks to eat, the elders did not move, the younger generations could not move first, the rules on the table did not only exist in ancient times, Xia Lily was still guarded, she bowed her head to eat her own and no longer made a sound, but also worried that the Xia family still had the particularity of "eating without saying anything".

"Third girl, how is your second sister's life there, you say she can be the master, to what extent?" Xia Hou spoke first.
This proves that the Xia family can chat during dinner, Xia Baihe thought about it and asked, "Can Daddy be specific?" I don't understand? ”
The youngest daughter has always been smart, how can she not understand? It's true to pretend to be confused with him, just say it clearly: "What does my father mean is that if your second sister takes in a few relatives, can she call the shots?" ”
"How many?" Xia Lily had to ask more carefully.
This time, Xia Hou hesitated for a moment before replying: "One! ”
"Which one?" Xia Lily still has to ask.
Xia Hou had to make his words more explicit: "Third girl, it's late today, my father has to keep you for the night, but tomorrow you and Mama Lu will go back to your second sister's house, we are fine, you should rest assured when you see it." ”
Xia Baihe listened and smiled: "Dad, fortunately, my daughter only found you in the afternoon, if I came in the morning, did you want me to leave after lunch." ”
"The house here is simple, you have seen it, and there are a lot of mosquitoes, aren't you afraid?" Xia Hou deliberately kept a straight face.
"Golden nest, silver nest, not as good as my own grass nest, what am I afraid of, it's good to have insects." Xia Lily said without hesitation.
Xia Hou almost made his daughter cry, of course he knew how filial his daughter was, but could he bear to let his daughter suffer with them? "Third girl, my father and your brothers are recorded criminals, it's rare that your name is not on the Xia family's roster, it's okay to go to your second sister's house, it's rare that you don't shirk anymore."
In fact, according to Xiahou's thoughts, he was reluctant to let any child suffer, not only Xia Lily, but also two grandsons and a granddaughter, he originally planned to send them all away, but after thinking about it, Yaya and Xiaoshi are too small to be inseparable from their mother, if they cry every day at the Sun family, it will cause trouble to Xia Lian's heart, and he is afraid that it will affect the life of his second daughter.
Only Xia Lihe, as soon as she went to Sun's house, she helped Xia Lianxin save her reputation, it can be seen that this little daughter can not only protect herself, but also help her sister, she will not go to Sun's house to eat and live in vain.
In ancient times, the daughter who married out belonged to someone else, and Xia Hou wanted Xia Lianxin to take care of her mother's family, and she had to take Xia Lianxin's ability into account first, and she didn't take it for granted.
"My second sister is from the Sun family, but my surname is Xia, what's the matter with living in someone for a long time?" Xia Lihe is not prejudiced against foreign marrying girls, she is just using ancient concepts to deal with Xia Hou's statements.
Xiahou is an authentic ancient, his father is here, his brother is here, but the youngest daughter is attached to the sister who is married, where are their faces?
"Three girls, it's not the ruthlessness of being a father, you can also see it, this is not where you can live." Aren't their father and son incompetent? It's hard to protect yourself, and you still care about your face.
"I saw it, I can live, the second sister-in-law has not been able to eat enough because of the lack of milk, I promised to cure them, I don't worry about Shi Ming's body, and Yaya, I want to teach her to be a lady and take her to the second sister's big girl as a companion, Dad, don't be in a hurry to let me go, even if I live at home for a month, I was lonely in the Lotus Nunnery, I was looking forward to having my father and brother by my side......"
Xia Baihe knows that she is reasonable, and she doesn't believe that her father is not soft-hearted.
"Dad, just let the third sister stay at home for a few days, our family is finally reunited." Xia Zhongtan couldn't help but speak first.
"Yes, Dad, what can happen if you live for a month, and besides, the third sister is not on the list of criminals' families, if there is really any danger, it will be too late for her to go out and hide." Xia Boxi understood what Xia Hou was afraid of, but listening to Xia Lily's pitiful words, how could he bear to drive his sister away.
Xiahou had already relented, the youngest daughter escaped death to see her father and brother, how could the Sun family's situation give her a sense of security, she relied on her father and brother to make a mistake? "Three girls, it's not the ruthlessness of being a father, you also heard what your eldest brother said, if something really happens, you have to hide quickly, if you don't agree, your father really doesn't dare to keep you!"
"I promise, I also know that my father is for my good, and if I can escape, I can find a way to save my family, and I can send you things like the second sister to take care of the descendants of the Xia family." Xia Lily said that she really understood Xia Hou's good intentions.
Xiahou was really pleased: "It's relieved that you can think about your father like this." What he feared was that his little daughter would live and die with them.
Sure that Xia Lily will stay, don't worry about her, the atmosphere at the table is much better, Xia Hou personally picked up vegetables for his daughter: "The three girls have worked the road, eat more." ”
"Thank you, Dad."
The dishes on the table are a rare delicacy for the Xia family in the past half a year, but Xiahou's father and son have not gobbled up their demeanor, even the eight-year-old Xia Shiming has kept chewing slowly, Xia Lily mainly pays attention to this nephew, although Xia Shiming eats slowly, but he eats very fragrantly, there is oil and water and so many meals that don't need to be saved, it is too rare, he can't help but let go of his belly to eat.
He didn't have anorexia, Xia Lily was sure of that.
The Xia family ate well at this meal, and after eating, Xiahou was still sitting at the dinner table, Xia Zhongtan got up and poured a bowl of water for his father and sister, and then went back to his house to see his wife and children, Huang had no strength to walk, of course he had to clean up the dishes and chopsticks he had eaten and send them to the kitchen, the sister-in-law was already very hard, and the work that these men could do should be done by themselves.
Xia Boxi was not lazy, he cleaned up the dining table in the hall, and Xia Hou called Xia Baihe and Xia Shiming, who got up to help, "The boss can do this job alone, and your aunt and nephew will talk to me again." ”
Xia Lily sat down again, the eldest brother helped the sister-in-law to work to urge the relationship between the husband and wife, she didn't have to go to the kitchen to be a light bulb, but Xia Shiming was a little uneasy, his father was working and he was sitting, was it unfilial?
"The third girl will tell your father again, the situation of your second sister's family?" During the meal, Xia Hou asked Xia Lianxin's family, but it turned out that Xia Lily would go or not, and now that it was decided, he cared about Xia Lianxin and his granddaughter.
Xia Lily talked about Xia Lianxin and the three children in detail.
Xia Boxi went to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks, and You Shi was washing the dishes alone in the kitchen, looking at a bunch of used tableware in the basin, Xia Boxi still asked, "Have you eaten?" Where's Yaya? ”
"I've eaten, Yaya went to see Xiaoshi, she ate so well today, Yaya was very happy, but as soon as I heard me say that the eggs have to be left for the second aunt, otherwise the little brother will be hungry and cry every day, so she left a mouthful of steamed egg custard and said to Xiaoshi to eat." You Shi was very pleased, Yaya looked greedy, but she was still sensible.
Xia Boxi was relieved and even more sad, it was he who didn't take good care of his wife and children, but is it useful to apologize? He only said: "The third sister wants to stay, can you clean up a room for her?" ”
"You don't know the house at home, except for a few of us who live now, how can there be people who can live there? Why don't you let the third sister live in Yaya's room first, Yaya will sleep with us tonight, and tomorrow you will go to the neighboring village to find Master Yuan, and then make a kang for the family, and then pick up some firewood to heat the kang for the third sister to live. You Shi thought about it and said.
When the Xia family first came to Jiangbei and got this small courtyard, the roof was full of holes, the ground was overgrown with weeds, even the fence was half down, and the house was even more empty, except for dust.
To be able to have furniture and bedding and build a kang, it all depends on the You family and the Huang family still left some silver from their mother's family, Xia Boxi personally experienced the hard life of the family, and naturally understood that his wife said that there was no house for Xia Baihe to live in, not because there was one more person in the family to eat, he was just strange: "Do you want the third sister to stay?" I thought that you, like my father, wanted the third sister to go to the second sister's house, and felt sorry for her to stay and suffer with us. ”
"Of course I can't bear the hardships of the third sister," You Shibai glanced at his husband, "But if you think about it, the third sister went from the Cao family to the Lotus Nunnery and then here, it is not an exaggeration to say that she escaped death, how much frightened and how wronged she was?" Only by being around relatives can you be comforted, and the third sister is usually the most filial, and she can enjoy her own happiness when she sees her father suffering? ”
"Or do you know the third sister." Xia Boxi sighed, although You Shi did not enter the house to eat, what she said was exactly the same as Xia Baihe's reason for staying.
"I still want to talk about you," You Shi didn't finish speaking, "The third sister has been greatly wronged to meet her relatives, you really shouldn't ask her sad things as soon as you see her, I can't stand those things, how did she say it, and I have to comfort you that she actually doesn't matter?" ”
Xia Boxi was stunned: "At that time, when I heard that the third sister may have been treated badly by the Cao family, my father and I can not be in a hurry, of course we want to know what happened immediately, what happened to the third sister." ”
"You can't even wait to hear it, but you don't want to think about how the third sister survived what she went through?" You Shi can't say that his father-in-law is not, he can only blame his husband.
Xia Boxi thought about it and regretted it: "You're right, that's the sad thing of the third sister, we shouldn't let her say it, what now?" ”
"What else can I do if I say it? Anyway, you already know, don't ask again in the future, how much it hurts the third sister, don't mention the Cao family in front of her. "Now that the matter has come to this, what else can You Shi do? She got up after washing the dishes, "You help me clean up Yaya's room, and give the new bedding brought by the second sister to my father and third sister to use first." ”
Of course Xia Boxi has no opinion, he is the eldest son in the family, and he should have done all the heavy work.
Xia Lihe chatted with Xia Hou in the house in a very good atmosphere, "When I left Kangguan City, I happened to hear that Jingcheng Hou Lin's family was seeking medical treatment in Zhangbang, I thought about the future of the Xia family, so I went to the Lin family to treat them." ”
"Do you want to follow the path of joining the army in the future?" Xiahou understood as soon as he heard it.
Xia Shiming, who had been listening to his grandfather and aunt talking, suddenly became more focused.
