Chapter Twenty-Seven: Separation
Xia Ziqiu smiled a little sadly, for Xia Zidong's dazed and unknown future, Old Man Xia actually wanted to exchange a fresh human life, or use his own daughter's, how could he be like this, even if he was a passerby, he would not ruthlessly ask for the life of an eight-year-old child, this is still this girl's own grandfather, who will believe it!
Picking up the child, Xia Ziqiu didn't care about Old Man Xia's angry face and the smile that flashed in Liang's eyes and left, this big summer, Xia Ziqiu and Xia Xuege still felt that the weather was extremely cold, Xia Ziqiu and Xia Xuege went straight to the seventh uncle's house, which would be their home from now on, and it was really their home.
"Dad, don't we have to save money secretly in the future?"
Xia Xuege asked with a wink, and Xia Ziqiu reluctantly pulled out a smile.
"Of course not, we will have our own home in the future, and my father will make money to treat your face, what do you want to do in the future, my father will definitely cure your face and let my baby daughter find a wishful husband."
"Dad, then can you also find me a mother, the children in the village always say that I am a child who has a mother but not a mother, and I will have a little brother when the time comes! Well...... Not one, I want a bunch of younger siblings! ”
Xia Xuege said, hoping that her innocence could warm Xia Ziqiu's cold heart, Xia Ziqiu smiled and didn't say anything.
Busy working as if nothing had happened, Xia Xuege and his wife still embroidered clothes and did carpenter work as usual, and Xia Ziqiu didn't know where to find a box of jewelry and some objects from the women's boudoir for Xia Xuege, saying that it was left by the seventh uncle's wife and seventh grandmother, but the two of them didn't forget, they haven't gone to do the paperwork for the separation!
"Xue Ge, you clean up your room at home, those things of the seventh grandmother should be cherished, that was left to you when the seventh uncle passed away, it is all the dowry of the seventh grandmother, be careful of this, don't break it, dad go to the patriarch and get the paperwork for our separation."
Xia Ziqiu said, Xia Xuege nodded, she is still a child, it's better not to participate in these things, and it's all like this, Xia Ziqiu should also die to those people in the old mansion!
There is only one Xia Xuege left in the huge mansion, and Xia Xuege really feels a little empty.
At her own house, Xia Xuege didn't have to hide it anymore, she took out the red wedding dress from the kang box and embroidered it again, she wouldn't be unable to get along with the silver, eighty percent of the Jinxiufang didn't know that there was such a thing here, and she didn't go, Liang and Old Man Xia refused to let go of such a good opportunity to seek a future for Xia Zidong, there are still two girls at home, Xia Tingyu naturally won't go, then it must be Xia Meier, Xia Xuege is confident, Xia Meier will definitely go, on the one hand, Old Man Xia and Liang, On the other hand, Xia Zichun and Meng's family, a daughter for a lot of silver, especially if this can make Xia Zidong owe them a big favor, the couple will definitely do it.
It wasn't until almost evening that Xia Ziqiu came back, but he obviously looked a little wolfish and haggard.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"What else, tear up with your grandfather (dialect, theory, but biased towards disputes), settle a lot of old accounts with me, and ask me to leave the house, even this mansion has to leave, tear it up for a long time, or the patriarch and Li Zheng said two words, before they split up, your grandfather's words, make me not human!"
Xia Ziqiu fell tired on the kang, Xia Xuege poured a bowl of water for him, no matter what, it's a good thing to divide the family!
"Dad, what else do we have besides this mansion?"
"What else? Yes, the furniture in our original house is still ours, and we will pull it back tomorrow, the guy who does farm work has a set, the five acres of land on the other side of the river belong to us, the bud rice planted on it is the ration of the distribution, the hunting guy is ours, and the set under the father in the mountains also belongs to us, and then there are five catties of bud rice noodles, some firewood, and twenty taels of silver, your grandfather seems to be afraid that I will talk about the secret marriage, and he didn't mention the matter of me saving private money, and in the future, give your grandfather and your grandmother three taels of silver every year as filial piety, and give a festival gift on three festivals, That's it, Dad is too tired, your Uncle Qingzi will help clean up in the old house, and I'll send it later, by the way, Xue Ge, take some money, go cut three catties of meat, and at night our family will invite the patriarch and the clan elder and Lizheng to eat, let's make dumplings! ”
Xia Ziqiu said, although tired, but with joy in his heart!
Xia Xuege took the money to buy meat, and unfortunately, she also met Meng's, watching Xia Xuege buy meat, Meng's eyes and knives flew, Xia Xuege ignored her, now Meng's will not quarrel with her, firstly, the old man Xia of the Liang family should have said that today's matter should not be passed on, and secondly, Meng's still expects Xia Meier to earn this silver! Three hundred taels, the Meng family was shocked at the time, three hundred taels, you can almost buy eighty acres of good fertile land, how can this be noisy, the people in the village in this summer are all outside to enjoy the shade, in case you provoke the onlookers, Meng will wait to be scolded when he goes back!
When I got home, Xia Ziqiu had already chopped the vegetable stuffing and was waiting for the meat, while Qingzi and a few uncles who Xia Xuege didn't know were busy in the yard!
"Xue Ge, are you back?"
Qingzi looked at Xia Xuege with a smile, what a good child, sensible, and smart eyes, he learned to embroider in a few days at his house, but unfortunately, he ruined his face.
"Well, Uncle Qingzi is good, my father said, please eat dumplings in the evening for uncles and patriarchs!"
"Yo! Xue Ge, it seems that your father really saved a lot of private money, so he split up, so he invited us to eat dumplings, Cheng! Go and call your Aunt Qing, and your sister Yu Jie in her family, your father is a man, don't keep cooking and doing housework with a girl! ”
"Shanzi! What to say! Ziqiu: That's ...... What's coming ...... Oh, come to think of it, it's virtuous! A big man raised his daughter so big, better than you, and the two boys in the family are famous! ”
"Okay Keiko, don't you talk, Xianhui? You're not as good as I said, okay, hurry up and call your daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, we can't make this bag of dumplings, they are good hands, didn't your daughter say it! I'm going to get married next year, you still have to cherish the food cooked by this girl, eat one less meal! ”
"Hehe, haha!"
The men in the courtyard laughed and laughed, Xia Xuege felt that this was a normal life, although this house felt much stricter than the old mansion of the Xia family, but it was not depressed, Aunt Qing and Yu Jie (Qingzi's name is Yu Qingzi, surnamed Yu) came to make dumplings, and also brought Li Shanzi's wife and children, and the woman was cooking Xia Ziqiu naturally stood aside, Xia Xuege followed and worked in the kitchen, a good meal is not afraid of being late, and as the saying goes, it is worth a lot, although Xia Ziqiu got something that is nothing, but it is also a lot, It's also time-consuming.
After the busy work outside, the food in the house is going to be good, the dumplings with pork and cabbage are liked when they look at it, Xia Xuege was afraid that her face would be disappointed, so she brought a bowl of dumplings back to her room, this is her first meal after separating the family, for her, dumplings are commonplace, but Xia Xuege unexpectedly likes it in her heart.
The patriarch and the clan elders, Xia Xuege is the first time to meet, although there are these people in the memory of the original fool Xia Xuege, but Xia Xuege is still a little curious, and looked at it a few times through the crack in the door, I don't know if I am really disappointed in Old Man Xia, Xia Xuege feels that although these old men are older than Old Man Xia, they are much kinder!
"Ziqiu, have you ever thought about picking up your academic essays and then going to take a fame test or something?"
The patriarch stroked his long beard with white flowers and smiled at Xia Ziqiu, but Xia Ziqiu was stunned for a while.
"Patriarch, I've been abandoning my studies for more than ten years, I'm afraid it's ......"
"What are you afraid of? You have that kind of study at the age of fifteen, but our celebrities in Liangzhou Mansion, Ziqiu, this exam is an annual exam, and the top exam is a three-year exam, one year, are you afraid that you don't have the previous ability? ”
The patriarch said, and Li Zheng also nodded.
"Yes, there is still a year, Ziqiu, how can you give up, I know that you are busy taking care of the children, but have you thought about it, this Xiucai master, you open a private school or something, that month, hehe, to say the least, there are five or six taels of silver, there are many dolls in our Xiajia Village and the surrounding villages who want to study, with silver, are you still afraid that you will not be able to cure your daughter's face? And these years, the war is in chaos, in case you are taken away as a soldier that day, how do you let your daughter, and to be serious, you are only twenty-seven, don't be like a dead eye, are you worried about marrying a daughter-in-law and your stepmother, but the child will marry later, are you single? And with your protection, you are still worried about what to do, and your father is different from you. ”
"Patriarch, Lizheng, but I didn't think about this?"
"If you don't think about it, you can think about it now!"
The patriarch smiled, and said:
"You, I asked Wen Chao to tell your family Xue Ge a few days ago, hinting that you are separated, and I don't know if your girl told you, you didn't see who you were, or you didn't dare to think about it when you saw it, your stepmother didn't plan to let your daughter go to Chongxi at all!"
"Chongxi? Patriarch, you know, it shouldn't be, our family ......"
"If you don't talk about it, we old guys won't be able to know? Otherwise, this Xiajia Village is so big, how can we be home? Ziqiu, let me tell you, do you think it's right? ”
The patriarch smiled, and several old men looked at each other a few times, and said:
"Ziqiu, the Hua family is rich and famous, and you can do whatever you want, but there are some things that are very strange, such as this Chongxi, do you think it's a secret marriage? In fact, you really overthink it, if you get married, just to find a companion for your child underground, where is there so much need to go to such length. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― "The Daughter of the Wang Family" Mu Zhimo was reborn. But why is it a concubine who is stepped on by everyone and loved by no one? Sharpen the knife Huohuo, not for glory, just for safety! Incomplete memories, more and more chaotic puzzles, well, there are handsome and extraordinary beautiful men on the road~ Eh, the people in front of you, you wait for me, who did you just say I am? Turned over and got on the horse, leaning in his arms, "Master, let's catch up with him!" In such a place where the position is as humble as grass mustard and as high as a peacock.
