Aunt Qing said that her eyes were misty again, Xia Xuege stuffed the basket into Aunt Qing's hands, she was so stupid that she didn't cause trouble to Aunt Qing's family, her family was in difficulty, if you can help, you can help, the business in the store has been getting better and better recently, these two women are frying things and washing dishes, they can't be busy at all, it's okay to call Aunt Qing's mother and daughter to go, although Uncle Qing's health is poor, but it is still possible to take a child.

"Auntie, aren't you going out with me, you can take this egg, my family is also dry, you still need to make up for your uncle's body, I need one or two female workers to work in my store, four hundred yuan a month, if you and your sister want to use money, just go, there are only two women who are Wen Ya sister-in-law and Qi Uncle Niang are too busy, you and your sister have eight hundred money a month, and this family can get by."

Xia Xuege said, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of anything to make Aunt Qing's mother and daughter make some money, she no longer does embroidery work, and embroidery work is really tired and hurts her eyes, and she can't earn too much, listening to Xia Xuege say that she has 800 yuan a month, Aunt Qing was stunned and hurriedly excused herself.

"Xue Ge, my aunt knows that you are a poor aunt, but it is not easy for your family to make money, you are not ......"

"Auntie, I don't pity you, my family's business is getting better and better, if you don't believe it, you can ask Uncle Qi, she is here, I will deliver the cake this afternoon, she also told me that the store needs a few women, this cake is oily, it is difficult to wash the dishes, this man can't do the work in the kitchen, how can the two of them be busy enough, auntie, don't you understand me? I'm a merchant's daughter, and I know how to calculate! ”

Xia Xuege's last sentence Aunt Qing was amused, the family needs money. is no longer hypocritical, so he responded, took the eggs back to make up for his man, and did his own work to Xia Ziqiu's family.

Go home and report to Xia Ziqiu, Xia Ziqiu also agrees, the family has a good opinion, now the chestnut cake alone can be sold for two hundred catties a day, which is almost half a month's salary for a few people, plus others, this month to remove all the expenses, you can also earn twenty taels of silver.

Look at the snowflakes falling outside. Xia Xuege's house welcomed a special guest in December. Zhang Yujiang, Xia Xuege's uncle.

Looking at his uncle, Xia Xuege was a little curious, and Zhang Yujiang looked thirty-five or sixteen years old. Dressed like a scholar. The text is weak. But Xia Ziqiu said that Zhang Yujiang had retired from the barracks, and looking at Zhang Yujiang, Xia Xuege smirked.

"Uncle. Did you retreat because you couldn't frighten the enemy? ”

"Hehe, you girl, what you said is really right, uncle is not scary, it's useless, and he was thrown out of the barracks!"

Zhang Yujiang said, it was really the first time he had seen the clever Xia Xuege, he hadn't been to Xiajia Village for many years, Xia Xuege was already eight years old, and he would be nine years old after the New Year, Xia Ziqiu looked at Xia Xuege, Zhang Yujiang was the first time to see a child called uncle.

"Xue Ge, go back to your own room to play, Dad and Uncle are talking, Xiaopang has been hungry lately, you are busy making cakes, and you forgot about it!"

Xia Ziqiu drove people, and Xia Xuege also knew that it was probably not appropriate for her to participate in the things they discussed, so she went out to feed the wolves, but she was curious, so she still eavesdropped under the window holding the toffee.

Xia: "Big brother, my father-in-law is okay, Qin'er is dead, I'll ...... Hey, after all, I'm sorry for Jean. ”

Zhang: "What do you say, when Qin'er did such a shameless thing, we are sorry for you, the child doesn't know!" ”

Xia: "I don't know, how can I let her know that her mother has done such a thing, not to mention the child, I guess no one in the village knows, otherwise it would have been spread a long time ago, fortunately, the child never asked how Qin'er died, but always said that Qin'er died in childbirth, and the child seems to have some shadows." ”

Zhang: "It's good that the child doesn't know, Ziqiu, I think your posture is to take the imperial examination, and you also know that although that incident is an old thing, it is ...... If you take the exam, don't go up the exam, otherwise that matter will be revealed by someone with a heart, how can Xue Ge marry in the future! ”

Xia: "I've thought about these, I'm just going to take a show, otherwise the imperial court is now getting more and more diligent, and I'm also afraid, lifting people?" Look, I don't have the heart to be an official. ”

Zhang: "It's not a blessing to be an official, it's not bad if you can figure it out, Ziqiu, eldest brother wants to go to the south next year to run goods, do you want to join a share, eldest brother is still back then, business is risky, you choose yourself, eldest brother is gone, old man, they will trouble you to take care of it more, I may not come back until next autumn!" ”

Xia: "Okay, big brother, don't worry, my son-in-law is also half a son, but I won't participate in the shares if you run the goods, the family has just opened a shop, and I don't have any silver in my hand, not even fifty taels, I don't have any capital to participate in the shares now." ”

Zhang: "Well, then forget it first, by the way, Ziqiu, you must not let the Yang family know that your child is a daughter, I heard that the Yang family is now asking around about Qin'er's child, Qin'er was indeed shameless back then, she was pregnant with a child and eloped with someone, which family seems to have some kind of marriage, the children of that family are going to die, and you want to do a dark marriage, the Yang family probably hit Xue Ge with the idea, and you don't go to neighboring counties less, your second brother should know about the Yang family, you write a letter to him, let him be careful, Our children can't stare at that kind of reputation and die for others! ”

Natsu: "Definitely, huh? Big brother, what are you doing with your clothes, just come here for a while, stay and have a meal, Xue Ge hasn't seen you for a long time! ”

Zhang: "It's not to leave, it's to go to the toilet, I heard that you are skilled in raising children, I haven't eaten yet, I won't leave if you drive me away!" ”

Zhang Yujiang smiled, Xia Xuege quickly hid aside, no wonder Xia Ziqiu rarely mentioned his wife, Zhang actually cheated, or eloped with someone when she was pregnant, really, Xia Xuege mourned for the beautiful father.

The relationship between Zhang Yujiang and Xia Ziqiu seems to be better than Xia Xuege thought, the two of them talk and laugh, they don't see each other, Xia Xuege looked at the stack of vegetables high in the bowl, these two people, drink wine, drink wine, and pick up vegetables for themselves like a race, saying that don't be hungry, this stack, she can eat it!

Zhang Yujiang and Xia Ziqiu didn't drink much, there was still something at home, Zhang Yujiang stayed for a while and left, Xia Xuege followed Xia Ziqiu to the door, Xia Ziqiu saw that people were far away before holding the child back to the house, Xia Xuege stretched out his little arm around Xia Ziqiu's neck.

"Dad, you're so nice!"

“……”

Xia Ziqiu was shocked, and then smiled bitterly.

"You Nizi, you heard it all."

"Well, but I don't mind, my father is such a good person, I don't cherish it, I can't complain about my father, it's just that Xue Ge doesn't want my father to be unhappy, Dad, can you quickly find a stepmother for Xue Ge?"

Xia Xuege said seriously, she never thought about what kind of mood Xia Ziqiu was in raising her, a man with extremely traditional marriage ideas, looking at the woman who betrayed him and his children all day long, what kind of mood and torture was it.

"Silly girl, fate is in a hurry, Dad promises you to find you the best mother in the world!"

Xia Ziqiu looked at the child with some distress, went back to the house and wrote a letter to Xia Zixia, and also told Xia Xuege about his mother-in-law Zhang Qin.

Zhang Qin is very beautiful and literate, but he is very proud, when Xia Ziqiu went to meet Zhang Yujiang, Xia Xuege's grandfather Zhang Lao Man felt that Xia Ziqiu was a good person, and he thought that Xia Ziqiu was like this, so he simply divided the family, and there was no one above, as long as he gave some filial piety silver to give a gift a year, he married Zhang Qin to Xia Ziqiu, Xia Ziqiu looks good and is also a painful person, Zhang Qin was also very satisfied at first, but Zhang Qin married Xia Ziqiu for a year and his stomach did not move, Zhang Qin thought that he could not have children, so he began to seek medical treatment everywhere, When seeking medical treatment at Xia Zixia's house in a neighboring county, Zhang Qin met a man surnamed Yang, surnamed Yang looks average, but the family is very rich, and he is a man, Zhang Qin happened to be found to be a month pregnant, Zhang Qin was restless, Yang Qiuchen is also a merry, the two hooked up with each other, when Xia Ziqiu came back from business and found out, Zhang Qin had been mixed with Yang Qiuchen for a month, at that time, because Old Man Xia was angry, Zhang Qin lived elsewhere, so he was not found.

Zhang Qin got sweet words from Yang Qiuchen, Yang Qiuchen was like glue with her, compared to Xia Ziqiu, who often went out, Zhang Qin chose Yang Qiuchen, and ran away with Yang Qiuchen, and was caught back by Zhang Yujiang, but the child was Xia Ziqiu's That's right, Zhang Qin was unwilling, after giving birth to the child, she thought about Yang Qiuchen's promise to her, and on the day she gave birth to a child, she ran again in the middle of the night, but where could she run out during the month, and Xia Ziqiu found out halfway, Xia Ziqiu couldn't tolerate this matter, but Old Man Xia couldn't say it, found Zhang Yujiang, Zhang Yujiang came with Zhang's family, Zhang Qin still didn't admit his mistake, thinking that he had given birth to a child for Xia Ziqiu, and since he already had another man, Xia Ziqiu should get together and disperse and let himself go.

felt that Zhang Qin was simply shameless, and gave Zhang Qin a slap in front of the Zhang family, Zhang Qin was still unrepentant, Zhang Qin's grandmother, the old lady of the Zhang family, was even more angry to death, she taught the women of the Zhang family for a lifetime, and she didn't want to die except for Zhang Qin, who was not ashamed, at night, everyone slept, and the old lady strangled Zhang Qin to death, just like that, it was only said that Zhang Qin died in childbirth, and the old lady was still there, but after that incident, people lost their spirit.

Xia Xuege listened, her heart was not good, she hugged Xia Ziqiu, and Xia Ziqiu touched the child's head.

"Xue Ge, Dad does hate your mother, but everyone is dead, you are still Daddy's baby, Dad will take good care of you, and your mother is the one who gave you life, you can't resent your mother, understand?"

"Hmmm......"

Xia Xuege nodded, the two of them stayed like this, and they didn't know how long it took before Xia Ziqiu found that the child in his arms was asleep. (To be continued......)
