Chapter Seventy-Six: Child Daughter-in-law (Second Watch)
The sun is shining, although it is a cold winter wax moon, but it is also a rare warm day, looking at the calendar, today is exactly the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Xiao Nian, it is time for the two to start visiting relatives and friends.
"Xue Ge, wait until your grandparents go there, be careful about what you do, I guess, your aunt is also there, let's put our things down and we will leave, your aunt and which of them will keep you, you all said that we still have something, ah......"
Xia Ziqiu instructed, but she felt a little uncomfortable, visiting relatives and friends was a happy thing, but in the face of the old house, he wanted to do this, Xia Xuege nodded, she naturally knew.
Carrying two carps and a whole fan of pork ribs, Xia Ziqiu touched the three taels of silver in his arms, and set off with Xia Xuegechao's old house.
The old house is still the same, but it is a little more joyful than in the past, probably to celebrate the excitement of Xia Zidong High School has not been enough, the yard is still very festive, and the red lantern has been hung high, which is particularly eye-catching.
"Dad, Xue Ge and I have come to see you and your mother, are you okay with your old health?"
Xia Ziqiu said, gave the two big carps to Su Meihe and asked her to take them down, and the whole big pork ribs let Erlang clean up what is to eat and what is frozen, Erlang may be the most active man in this courtyard, Shiro Goro looked at the ribs, and his eyes were a little hairy for a vampire, if it wasn't raw, no, even if it was raw, then the two brothers probably wanted to go up and take a bite.
Old man Xia saw that Xia Ziqiu's gift was good, and this was another small year, so he smiled happily.
"Ziqiu is here, sit down, what's your body? You kid, it's like you haven't seen me in years. What, the house is cleaned up? ”
"Well, it's almost packed, and the weather is good today, I thought. Leading the child to string relatives, Xue Ge's face is almost bad! ”
Xia Ziqiu said, and Old Man Xia realized that Xia Xuege didn't wear a veil today, and his whole face was pink, and he didn't look burned at all. looks six or seven points like Xia Ziqiu, and is really a beauty embryo.
"Xue Ge's face is good, it's good, it's a good thing, Ziqiu. The thank you gift of the Zhou family, you must not be light, not enough silver, dad will give it! ”
"Dad, look at what you said, I've divided it, how can I have the face to ask you for silver, that's right. This is three taels of silver, Dad, this is my filial piety. ”
Xia Ziqiu said. Taking out six five thousand silver horns from his arms, Old Man Xia's eyes narrowed and he smiled happily.
"Hehe, okay, Dad's subordinates, let's eat here at noon. It just so happened that someone else gave your little brother some snacks, Tingting. Go, talk to your little brother. Give that osmanthus cake to Xue Ge, that is Su Ji's craft! ”
Old Man Xia said, Xia Tingting smiled and said:
"Dad, have you forgotten that the third child is now the owner of the dim sum shop?"
"That's different, hey, if you don't go I'll go, you kid, why are you grinding when you come back today, Zidong, Zidong...... Bring your box of osmanthus cakes and give them to Xue Ge ......"
Old Man Xia called, Xia Ziqiu was already planning to do it immediately, the Xia family, the last thing he wanted was to have something to do with Xia Zidong.
"Dad, don't shout, it's weird and tired, the eldest sister is right, I'll open a dim sum shop myself now, Dad, we still have a lot to go, go first, Dad, I'll come to see you in ...... in "
"It's here so soon, stay and have a meal, you and your eldest sister haven't seen each other for two or three months."
"Dad, didn't you just see Erlang get married last time, I'm really busy, Dad, let's go first......"
Xia Ziqiu said that she was about to pick up the child and leave, but Xia Tingting gritted her teeth and opened her mouth.
"Ziqiu, wait, the eldest sister has something I want to tell you."
Xia Tingting called, and Xia Ziqiu turned around.
"Eldest sister, is there something wrong with you?"
"Well, Ziqiu, the eldest sister wants to tell you something...... You...... You must say yes......"
Xia Tingting said, Xia Ziqiu's heart suddenly became nervous, Xia Tingting, what is going on?
"Eldest sister, hehe, if you don't say anything, I don't know if I can do it, why do you want me to agree!"
Xia Ziqiu said, but the smile was no longer in her eyes, and Xia Tingting smiled a little weakly.
"Ziqiu, in fact, if you can do it, that is...... It's ......"
"Eldest sister, what is it......"
"That's it...... Oh, let's say yes or no! ”
Xia Tingting said, Xia Ziqiu was already stern.
"Eldest sister, what do you want to say today, what do I not agree to, if you talk about me and your sister-in-law again, eldest sister, you still don't speak."
"I'm not that thing, my parents-in-law have planned to put it aside, so, I heard my father and mother say, you have already started to see each other's relatives, but I think it's going to be the New Year, and there is no movement on your side, I guess, you are all dragged down by this child, we are, there are families who have been quite rich, but the family is all sons, and I want a daughter, but the woman gave birth to a child last time, she was injured and can't be reborn, so I want to raise a girl, I want to grow up well, a bit of a tutor, In the future, Bacheng will marry the children in the family, I think ......"
"Eldest sister, do you think Xue Ge is just right?"
Xia Ziqiu asked, Xia Tingting nodded a little embarrassed.
"Yes, Ziqiu, you are going to be thirty, this is still no son, Ziqiu, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great! You can't ......."
"Eldest sister, don't you look down on Xue Ge so much!"
Xia Ziqiu was annoyed, why did he meet Xia Tingting at the wedding banquet this year, and there was nothing good at other times!
"Eldest sister, I'...... You asked me to say what is good about you, the woman I am looking for, if I can't even look down on my children, then what should I do with her? I've been alone for eight years, and if you say I need a woman...... Bah...... Really, eldest sister, if you mean what I just meant, you better not speak, it's been eight years, I'm used to it, I endure one eight years, then I can endure two or three more eight years, eldest sister, are you so intolerant of Xue Ge in your eyes? ”
Xia Ziqiu is a scholar, and he is embarrassed to say that he needs a woman to solve his physical needs, but Old Man Xia understands that his daughter's feelings are based on this idea, but this time, Old Man Xia stood on Xia Ziqiu's side, and said to Xia Tingting with some complaints:
"Tingting, what are you talking about, don't say that your father won't help you this time, this Ziqiu is also a small boss now, Ziqiu is capable, and she looks like your mother, it's good to look at, it's almost thirty, isn't Ziqiu not yet thirty, even if it is, Ziqiu is not old, when my father married your stepmother, he was almost fifty, and he still had children, you......"
Old Man Xia said angrily, Xia Xuege is a little disgusted with Xia Tingting, Nima, she actually wants to be a child daughter-in-law by herself!
"Dad, what does my aunt mean, do you want me to be a child daughter-in-law!"
Xia Xuege asked, as if she didn't understand, Xia Ziqiu nodded.
"Yes, but don't worry, Xue Ge, Dad won't send you there."
"Well, I know, Dad, am I making my aunt unhappy again, people say that child daughters-in-law will suffer a lot, and they are not treated by their husbands, Dad, I don't want to go...... Dad, doesn't my aunt's family have two sisters? Why didn't you send them there, but my aunt came to me! ”
Xia Xuege said with some resentment, Old Man Xia glared at Xia Tingting fiercely, and said:
"Tingting, dad doesn't know if you have been wronged in your mother's house, or what, although my father is old, he is not old and confused, this child daughter-in-law is so good? If you accept other people's money, send it back to them, okay, you and I have seen your mother, and you have also sent things, you can go back! ”
Old man Xia gave an eviction order, Xia Tingting gritted her teeth, knowing that this matter would not have succeeded, but she had to do it, she was not favored in her husband's family, and finally her younger brother was selected for the show and was expected to be an official, but there was an incident with Xia Meier, didn't this make her even more confident, Xia Tingting left stupidly, Xia Ziqiu and Old Man Xia were unhappy, but Xia Ziqiu knew that Old Man Xia was not really speaking for him, but because he had scruples, and the Zhou family was befriended because of Xia Xuege's burns. Xia Ziqiu and the Zhou family are good or bad, so for the sake of the Zhou family, as well as Mo Zhuqing, who has lived in Xia Ziqiu's house for a few months, Old Man Xia will never agree to this matter, and this is what makes Xia Ziqiu the most angry.
Returning home with the child, Xia Xuege hugged Xia Ziqiu, he suddenly felt that Xia Ziqiu was a little pitiful, with such an eldest sister on the stall, he couldn't raise his head in her husband's house, so she tried to find a balance from her mother's side, no, not to find balance, but to simply harm Xia Ziqiu's younger brother, and complete the task given to her by her husband's family in exchange for a happy life.
Compared with Xia Zichun, Xia Tingting is really more superb, Xia Zichun will also care about a little brotherhood, but Xia Tingting doesn't care about it at all.
"Dad, you really have to find me a stepmother, otherwise next time, I don't know what excuse my aunt will come to, Dad...... Do you understand what I mean? ”
Xia Xuege said, Xia Ziqiu shook his head and said:
"Xue Ge, this marriage, it's not just about talking about it, sometimes, it's really difficult, especially when my father is like this now, if you can't go up or down, just follow it!"
Xia Ziqiu said, took out the roe deer hunted in winter from home, the Zhou family is rich, they have nothing to get into the eyes of the Zhou family, but the Zhou family cured Xia Xuege's face, and said bluntly to Xia Xuege that it was tantamount to the grace of recreation, driving the ox cart with the roe deer and a few pheasants and loading some salted duck eggs, the two of them went directly to the Zhou family, the people of the Zhou family who guarded the door knew the two of them, and as soon as they went in, they let the two of them in, and the things were directly received by the housekeeper, Xia Xuege didn't know whether to follow Xia Ziqiu or how, so he was told, Zhou Changqing and Zhou Xiaopang looked for him, and Old Man Zhou also looked for Xia Ziqiu to discuss important matters.
