Chapter 47: Good intentions
Seeing that the little daughter was scared away by herself from the kitchen, You Shi turned around and let the tears flow down, Yaya is the meat that fell from her body, how could she not feel distressed, she would rather be hungry herself than let Yaya be full!
You Shi hates to give all the good things in the world to her daughter and let her eat, drink and have fun, but is it possible? Is it realistic? The Xia family is no longer a high-ranking official, she has to think about Yaya's future, as long as Yaya can be trained according to the standard of a lady, it will be possible to marry a scholar in the future, if Yaya's husband can go to high school, Yaya can live a good life again!
The daughter who marries out is not guilty of the same crime as her mother's family, this law makes You still have great hope for her daughter's future, so she will not raise Yaya to be a wild girl because she is down now, she still cleans her daughter every day, does not allow Yaya to run around and scream, and does not let Yaya eat before her elders, just for the future of her daughter.

But the five-year-old girl didn't understand her mother's good intentions, and when she returned to Xia Lily, she still had tears in her eyes.
Xia Lihe saw it, of course, she had to ask, "Yaya, what's wrong, wasn't she very happy to run out just now?"
"She was kicked out of the kitchen by her mother. Xia Shiming, who asked Xia Baihe for advice on how to repair the furniture, said first, he looked at his sister's eyes with a complicated look, with pity, sympathy and anger.
Xia Lihe also noticed her nephew, to be honest, Xia Shiming is what the Xia family pays the most attention to, this child not only has too much change in his body, but also seems to have problems in his heart, such as the deep meaning in his eyes when he looks at Yaya, it really doesn't look like he is only eight years old.
"I just want to smell it...... "Yaya defended herself aggrievedly.
"It's not right to smell and smell, everyone is working, and none of the elders are in a hurry to eat, why are you the one who doesn't have to work? You are so lazy, how will you find your in-laws in the future?" Xia Shiming was not sarcastic about his sister, his tone and expression proved that he was worried about Yaya's future.
But Yaya is only five years old, and Xia Shiming is only eight years old, although the ancient people were precocious, but this is too early, "Shiming, who told you about Yaya's future marriage?" Xia Lihe didn't think that Xia Shiming could think of it himself.
"When the second aunt just gave birth to her younger brother, the mother cooked millet porridge and boiled eggs for the second aunt, the second aunt was reluctant to eat and quietly left it to us, I didn't want it, but the girl took it and ate it, she always ate it inevitable that the mother found out, the mother scolded the girl and persuaded the second aunt not to get used to the girl, the mother said that the second aunt did not take care of the child if she did not take care of the body, but the second aunt said that the girl was going to marry in the future, and the family would want her if she was not in good health, and the mother sighed, saying that she was in charge of the girl for her future......"
Xia Shiming said and looked at her sister again, Yaya was embarrassed to hear her brother expose her eating her second aunt's things, but she still didn't have any sense of crisis for the future, Xia Shiming sighed like a little adult: "Yaya, the second aunt can quietly give you delicious food, my mother is reluctant to beat you when she sees you eating the second aunt's, and grandpa eats a few bites less every bowl of rice to save for you, but can your in-laws be so good to you? You are lazy and greedy, which family will marry you?"
“…… They don't give me food, why should I marry them?"
This sentence stopped Xia Shiming, yes, if you look at it, you will treat Yaya's people badly, is he willing to let his sister marry? But what seems wrong?
“…… The third aunt ...... "Xia Shiming turned to Xia Lily for help, because the original owner has always been praised for his intelligence at home, and before Xia Shiming was officially enlightened, the third aunt taught him to read and write."
The current Xia Lily did not disappoint him, "Yaya, whether you want to or not, you will still grow up in the future, you can not marry, but can you let your father and mother support you for a lifetime?
"......" Yaya was asked, she had never considered such a distant question.
Xia Lihe didn't want Yaya to give an answer right away, she just agreed with You Shi and Xia Shiming's discipline of Yaya, she was not afraid that Yaya would be picked on by her in-laws in the future, but she hoped to cultivate the child's self-sustainance from an early age, Yaya was her niece, and she couldn't be deceived by a sugar gourd.
Yaya didn't speak, Xia Shiming was also silent, Xia Lihe still felt that this nephew was more problematic, but she was new to the school, so it was difficult to get to the bottom of it.
"It's time to eat!" You Shi shouted in the courtyard, and the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was the first to run out of the house.
Xia Shiming didn't have time to call his sister, so he could only explain to Xia Baihe embarrassedly: "Third aunt, don't blame Yaya for being rude, she just hasn't eaten well for a long time, and she is like this occasionally, I will teach her again in the future." ”
Yaya is only five years old, and the nature of a child can't help but be normal, but it is the eight-year-old Xia Shiming, who is so steady that Xia Lily feels abnormal, he is so thin, it can't be because of the environmental impact that he has anorexia, right?
Xia Lily can guess what disease others have by looking at her face, but it must be some common diseases, and incurable diseases still need to be diagnosed by looking at and hearing them, not to mention that sometimes a disease will lead to other complications, and it is not easy to say everything at a glance, such as Xia Shiming, she has to find time to check it well.
"Let's go eat first. "Xia Lily can only see that Xia Shiming is not keen on eating well today.
When Xia Lily came out of the house, Xia Hou's father and son were no longer the clay figures they had when they first met, they washed and washed themselves, and changed into clean cloth shirts.
"Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle. Xia Shiming saw it, and finally showed the smile that a child should have, calling people one by one, and his spirit looked much better all of a sudden.
Tidying himself up, Xia Hou also felt energetic, and said with a smile: "The three girls and Shi Ming also go to wash, don't be busy, it's time to eat." ”
"Yes. Xia Shiming and Xia Lily agreed.
"The third girl came here...... You Shi deliberately brushed Yaya's washbasin, poured hot water, and found a new cloth towel from Xia Lianxin's things for Xia Lily to use.
"There's a sister-in-law. As soon as she saw that there was hot water in the basin, Xia Lily understood that she was being taken care of by You Shi again, she asked Xia Shiming when she was working just now, and she had to travel a long way to get water.
Today's meal is a rare sumptuous meal for the Xia family in the past half a year, but only Xiahou and his son and Xia Lily are sitting around the table.
Huang is weak and inconvenient to leave the house, so it's okay if she doesn't come, but what about You and the two children? They didn't disappear but stood aside.
"Dad, sit down. You respectfully served Xia Hou with rice and vegetables, and the fragrance still made the girl swallow her saliva, but the little girl did not rush to the table to eat.
Xia Lihe suddenly realized that one of the ancient rules is that women must set rules in their in-laws' house, and serving their in-laws to eat is one of them.
The Xia family is a gentleman and will not deliberately abuse their daughter-in-law, but they will not let their daughter-in-law and father-in-law eat at the same table, Xia Hou took an empty bowl and divided more than half of the steamed egg custard in front of him: "How can I eat so much when I am old, let Shi Ming and Yaya eat separately." ”
"Dad, everyone has a bowl, Shi Ming and Yaya have enough to eat. You Shi said busily.
"Yes, Dad, the child can't eat much. Xia Boxi, who had just sat down, immediately got up, "If you don't let Shi Ming and Yaya eat me, I don't like eggs." ”
"And mine, I don't like eggs either, you know. Xia Zhongtan also got up and gave up his bowl.
Yes, in the Xia family in the capital, who would push back and forth for a bowl of steamed egg custard, You Shi wanted Yaya to eat more and had to coax and coax, Yaya would never have thought that she would still stare at a bowl of steamed egg custard and want to pour it into her mouth immediately.
Xia Lihe looked at the Xia family's father and son and You Shi pushing and conceding, and looked at Xia Shiming also helping You Shi say not to eat, Yaya looked like she wanted to eat, but the little girl could bear it and not speak.
"Sister-in-law, the elder doesn't dare to resign, don't let it," Xia Baihe persuaded on both sides, "Dad, eldest brother, second brother, just give each of you a spoonful, don't give too much, children have weak stomachs, and if you don't control eating good things, it's even worse." ”
"Yes, the three girls are right, let's just give one spoonful each. Xia Hou woke up, he had seen with his own eyes that someone got food and died in a famine year, how could he still indulge it because he loved his children?
"Dad, I want Shi Ming to sit down and eat, he is eight years old, and he is the grandson of the head of the Xia family, there are some things he should also listen to. Seeing that Xia Hou listened to her, Xia Lily made another suggestion, which meant to be very inch-inch.
"You're right, Shi Ming is the grandson of the head of the Xia family, and we shouldn't avoid him in family affairs. Xia Hou agreed to his daughter's suggestion without much thought, and the two brothers of the Xia family did not object, Xia Zhongtan even moved a bench next to him and let Xia Shiming sit.
The Xia family has no prejudice against their daughter, the original owner remembered the big and small things in the family, Xiahou and his son did not deliberately hide it from her, trying to find this, Xia Baihe got up and gave Xiahou and his son and Xia Shiming a chopstick dish each: "Daddy eats, eldest brother eats, second brother eats, Shiming eats." ”
Xiahou father and son nodded, and Xia Shiming owed: "Thank you Third Aunt." ”
You Shi looked happy, she led Yaya out to eat, Yaya was also happy, she carefully held the extra three spoons of steamed egg custard, and she couldn't wait to pour it into her mouth immediately.
You Shi went out to greet Mama Lu and Ruizhu for dinner first, and she also had to deliver food to Huang's house, Mama Lu saw the opportunity the fastest: "Grandma Da Shao, let the old slave serve the second young grandma, you should rest after a busy afternoon." ”
"Then the second young grandmother will be handed over to you. You didn't refuse.
"Grandma, the slave and maid serve the eldest sister...... "Ruizhu also has to rush to work, otherwise she won't be able to explain when she goes back to see the second girl."
"Hmm. You Shi didn't object, she went back to the kitchen and sent Xia Shiming's bowl of steamed egg custard into the hall.
