Chapter Ninety-Four: Binding Feet (Second Watch)

The man said, the weak man frowned, how to deal with this kind of thing, they all know.

Speaking of Liulitun, Xia Xuege and Zhang Jin'er were busy all afternoon, but they made the dumplings, and the old lady Taishang fed the chickens in the yard, probably lying on the kang for a long time, and the old lady's legs and feet were not very good, and after walking for a long time, her legs hurt.

Looking at the table full of dumplings, the old lady smiled and said:

"You two, you will be virtuous in the future, whoever marries you will be blessed!"

"Grandma, you are really good at laughing, it should be who marries Xue Ge and who is blessed, it's a pity, Xue Ge didn't wrap his feet, otherwise he must be a young grandmother!"

Zhang Jin'er said, Xia Xuege was stunned, yes, she didn't wrap her feet, and looking at the old lady, she didn't wrap her feet, it seemed to be ...... Among the people she knows, only Xia Tingyu is bound to her feet, but Xia Xuege really hates foot binding, and said with a smile:

"Sister Jin'er, you will make fun of me, the woman who binds her feet can't walk one by one, she is simply disabled, what's so good, if you want me to wrap my feet, I won't wrap it yet!"

"Hehe, you, quietly go to those crooked places and think, those young grandmothers, which one is a big-footed woman? It's all wrapped in small feet, besides, my uncle will have a great reputation in the future, how can you, a young lady, not wrap your feet? I'm a merchant's daughter, I can't bind my feet, you're not ......"

Saying that, Zhang Jin'er was a little sad, and the old lady Taishang also sighed, what if a businessman makes a lot of money, but he is most looked down upon, but Xia Xuege shook his head.

"Sister. I don't think it's good to be a young grandmother, what do those small-footed women do as young grandmothers, what do they do as wives, I think it's all about finding guilt, those three wives and four concubines of the old man or something, to put it nicely, women shouldn't be jealous, I think it's purely outrageous, let him be a woman, watch her husband try around other women every day! ”

"You. Why is this female ring crooked when it comes to you! ”

The old lady said. Xia Xuege didn't refute it, after all, this is the social environment here, but thinking about the matter of binding her feet, Xia Xuege frowned again. The old lady was puzzled. Asked:

"Snow Song. Are you feeling sick or what's wrong, frowning? ”

"Not ......"

Xia Xuege touched her head and said:

Sister Jin'er said to bind her feet. I remembered this matter, my grandfather recently because of my father's entrance examination, his attitude towards my family has changed greatly, originally ignored my father, and now he is looking for my father on the pole......"

"Your grandfather is like that!"

The old lady Taishang said, looking down on Old Man Xia very much, and Xia Xuege said:

"I'm not worried that he will go to the pole to find my father, but I am afraid that my father will pass the exam this time, and he will not let go of my father! In the past, I was stupid and worthless, but if my father wanted to wrap my feet in order to win over my father, it would be a bad dish! ”

Xia Xuege was worried, the old lady twitched, it is really possible, this Xia Xuege only turned nine years old in June this year, although it is a little late to bind her feet at this time, but it is not for nothing that she is nine years old and binds her feet......

"Then go back and talk to your father, this is nine years old, what kind of feet are wrapped, this is not to lose half a life, especially your step-grandmother, what is not good to do, you are so big to wrap your feet, it is easy to be really disabled, don't really let you say it at that time......"

The old lady twitched, Xia Xuege and Zhang Jin'er also nodded, and Zhang Jin'er also said.

"Isn't it, I heard that there is a second grandmother Qiao in your village, who specializes in binding her feet, and many people in our village are looking for him!"

"Didn't you see a little girl in the front yard today! It's that second grandmother Qiao who wrapped her feet! ”

Zhang Jin'er said, her face twitched, and she continued:

"At that time, I heard that she was ten years old, and her feet were still big, but the family saw that the girl was good-looking, and she must bind her feet.

"At first, I heard that it was to wrap the feet of a ten-year-old child, so she asked and agreed, asking for a basket of eggs!"

Zhang Jin'er said, a basket of eggs is also a lot of wealth for the Zhuang family.

"Then she collects too much, I heard people say, bound feet, only ten eggs!"

Xia Xuege said, really thinking that this mother-in-law was black-hearted, and the old lady Taishang tightened her nose and waved her hand.

"Don't mention it, a basket of eggs, it took me a long time to talk about it, after all, the people in these ten miles and eight villages dare to wrap the feet of a ten-year-old child, that is, this Qiao Er's grandmother, I have been talking for a long time, and the first thing I want is two baskets!"

The old lady said, Xia Xuege sighed, it was really a lion's mouth.

"A basket of eggs is decided, just like that, the feet are wrapped, and something happens again when the feet are wrapped!"

"Grandma, that second grandma Qiao won't raise the price again!"

Xia Xuege asked, this kind of thing is possible for friends, but the old lady Taishang's answer surprised Xia Xuege.

"It's not that second grandmother Qiao who raised the price, it's the person in the front yard who raised the price himself, I heard that it was that second grandmother Qiao who came, looked at the girl's feet, and said fat, said big, it's not good to wrap her feet!"

"The second grandmother of Qiao said that the girl's feet were fat, and the girl's family was in a hurry, so she raised the price of half a basket of eggs! And that's not all! said a lot of good things, then Qiao's second grandmother wrapped her feet! ”

The old lady said that the Zhang family is a merchant and a cheap business, and this woman's family can't wrap her feet, so she doesn't know, and when she was young, her family was poor, and she didn't have to wrap her feet.

"At that time, your sister Jin'er was as old as you are now, and I was still curious about what this foot-wrapping was, the drama always said that the small-footed woman was a young grandmother, and your Jin'er sister was envious of those who bound her feet, but she was lying on the window of someone else's house and watched, the bones were broken raw, but she was not scared to death!"

The old lady said, looking at Zhang Jin'er, and Zhang Jin'er seemed to remember what she saw at that time, her face turned white all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but shiver! Road:

"Isn't it scared to death, that voice, the face of the village can be heard, that girl, when she binds her feet, just the scream is cautious, you said that Qiao Er's grandmother also went to the hand, really, more than the executioner, I remember that the girl fainted in pain later, or wrapped her feet, God! The ten-year-old feet are wrapped like a five-year-old girl's feet, it's really scary! ”

"Then you still envy the bound feet!"

Xia Xuege smiled and joked, Zhang Jin'er was also contradictory, he envied the woman who bound his feet could marry well, but he was really afraid!

In the evening, the family who worked in the field came back, the dog egg in the village was just found yesterday, and it was lost today, the father and mother of the dog egg cried very much, and some people in the village saw it, but this time it was not to catch the child directly, but to deceive.

This made the Zhang family even more nervous, and the old man Zhang was worried, so he didn't let Zhang Yuhai go to the private school and stayed at home!

The bright sun is shining, Xia Xuege stretches his waist, Xiaopang has become famous in Liulitun in the past two days, obviously a wolf, but he was chained in the yard by the Zhang family like a dog, obviously a wolf, but Xiaopang did not harm the chickens, ducks and other domestic animals in the village, just honestly in front of the wolf, waiting for his meat and bones every day!

"Chubby, when did you say Dad would come back!"

Xia Xuege sat in the courtyard with a big thick wooden comb and combed Xiaopang's hair, and asked, it's been six days, Xia Ziqiu should be back, but why haven't you come to pick her up yet! And how can Chubby understand? He only knew something very simple, looked at Xia Xuege blankly, and then lay down to enjoy Xia Xuege combing him.

"Chubby, you said that this time, daddy, can you show off your talent in the exam? I miss Dad, if only you could understand, I'm going to suffocate! ”

Yes, suffocated, Xia Xuege feels like this, although the old lady Taishang likes her very much, but Xia Xuege can't always stick to the old lady, and often, the old lady has become more and more strict in the past two days, criticizing Xia Xuege for not conforming to the idea of female precepts and three obedience and four virtues, and Zhang Jin'er has been busy with the work of the Xiao family recently.

"Xue Ge, why don't you go into the house, it's weird and cold outside."

Zhang Yuhai came out to breathe and asked, he was busy preparing for the exam now, and it could be seen that Xia Xuege was a little stunned in Zhang's house now!

"Did you miss your father? It's almost time to be back today......"

"I thought about it, but I'm a little worried......"

Xia Xuege said, dragging her chin a little worried.

"I'm worried that my dad won't be able to pass the exam, in the end, my dad hasn't taken books for many years...... In case I don't pass the ......"

Xia Xuege was worried, so Zhang Yuhai took a bench and sat over.

"Your dad will be admitted, don't worry, you're ......"

"Snow Song! Daddy is back! ”

Before Zhang Yuhai finished speaking, there was a voice of attendance outside the door, Xia Xuege turned around, and saw Xia Ziqiu walking in with a smile!

"Daddy!"

rushed over happily, Xia Xuege didn't care about anything else, and when she arrived, Xia Ziqiu directly hugged Xia Xuege.

"Xue Ge, are you naughty at your grandfather's house?"

"No, Dad, I'm very good, Dad, I miss you......"

Xia Xuege said, kissing the face of the beautiful father, it is better to be his own father! Seeing that she was still carrying a burden, she looked like she would come to pick her up directly after the exam, and looking at Xia Xuege, Xia Ziqiu also smiled and said:

"Dad misses you too, let's go, say hello to grandma and grandpa, let's go home!"

"Brother-in-law......"

Zhang Yuhai also came over and led Xia Ziqiu into the house.

In the house, Xiao had already prepared a meal. Just waiting for Xia Ziqiu to come back!

"I said it, Ziqiu is back, and he will come directly to us!"

The old lady smiled with a smile in her eyes, and her eyes were full of satisfaction with Xia Ziqiu. (To be continued......)
