Throughout the afternoon, Xia Chan didn't say a word to Xiao Dalang, and Xiao Dalang took the initiative to make peace several times, but she was also sent back with a few words. She also refused to say anything to him until she went to bed at night.

Lying on the bed, she remembered the events of noon, and her heart was still on fire. In the past, she always felt that a man who is responsible, has a sense of security, and is dedicated to you, it doesn't matter whether he will make money or not. Today, she suddenly discovered that the reality was not as simple as she thought.

Today's Xiao Dayun's behavior is just the tip of the iceberg among all his relatives, and he can't deal with it, so what about the future, his father and mother, and his brother will come to the door again, relying on her, an outsider, who is weak and weak, how to confront them.

Thinking of her father Xia Tian, thinking of her mother who swallowed her anger all the year round, broke her teeth and swallowed blood, and thought of going to walk towards that track in the future, a chill suddenly hit.

Turning her head, looking out of the window, the moonlight was thick, and the light was scattered into the room from the gaps in the branches, warm and poetic, but at this time she was in no mood to appreciate the quiet beauty.

"Daughter-in-law, I know you're angry about today's noon, but no matter what she says, it's my eldest sister, and I ......"

Hearing the dumb male voice behind him, Xia Cicada looked at the boundless night and sneered

"Are you blaming me?"

"I didn't, daughter-in-law, I really didn't mean that, I just couldn't bear it." Xiao Dalang explained slightly crampedly

"Can't bear it? Xiao Dalang, you are really forgetful. Originally, there were some things that should not be taken out again to turn over old accounts in the past, but you have to force me" Xia Chan gasped "When I first got married, your leg was broken, and your father and mother didn't care about family affection, so we let us clean our mouths and give us nothing." During that time, where was the sister in your mouth. And where is the brother you can't bear to hurt? Xiao Erlang went to the gambling house to owe three hundred taels, and the debts were chased to the family, your family can be so relaxed. Let me help pay the bills. Three hundred taels, they say it as easily as three pennies. At that time, I wanted to turn around and leave, but I wanted not to embarrass you. I put up with it. Your fourth brother, who is so rich now, doesn't want to be the boss of this wrong, and unites your family to calculate me, where were you at that time. What did you say. Xiao Dalang, you really have no conscience. ”

After Xia Chan finished speaking, he approved a piece of clothing and got up and planned to go to the yard to breathe, tonight for some reason, there was always a sense of grievance in his heart, holding it in his chest, even if he said such a big thing now, he still felt extremely aggrieved.

Seeing this, "daughter-in-law" Xiao Dalang got up in a panic and jumped out of bed. Hold her who wants to go out the door

"Daughter-in-law, I ....... daughter-in-law, I know it's all my fault, I make you sad. Don't be like this, I feel distressed when I look at it. Daughter-in-law, I know that you are not happy with our family, I promise you, in the future, I will definitely stand on your side, and I will not agree to anything they say. Daughter-in-law. I beg you, don't be angry with me, you're not happy, I look uncomfortable. ”

Xiao Dalang hugged the person from behind. Her eyes were full of worry, and the words of flattery whispered in her ear

Seeing Xiao Dalang like this, she also struggled in her heart. She knew it wasn't his fault. Didn't she just fall in love with his kindness in the first place? However, today, she didn't want to forgive her so lightly. The days ahead are too long, and she is a woman after all. She also wants to have someone around her to protect her, understand her, and comfort her all the time. She actually doesn't want to be a female man or a strong woman at all. The reason why she did this was just for the sake of this family.

Xia Chan was silent, Xiao Dalang said it himself, and seeing that the person in his arms was still silent, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger

"Daughter-in-law, don't stop talking, or you can beat me up and scold me for a few words, just don't ignore me. I'm afraid," Xiao Dalang's voice trembled slightly, and his arms tightened more and more

"Da Lang, I don't want to embarrass you, the hour is not early, let's rest early. After you really understand the meaning of Xianggong, let's discuss this issue."

Xia Chan broke away from Xiao Dalang's embrace, took off his clothes and got into bed, got into the quilt, closed his eyes and stopped talking. Leaving Xiao Dalang, who looked anxious, stood stupidly in place, thinking left and right, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't understand the meaning of his daughter-in-law's last sentence.

It wasn't until the moon was sinking in the west and the eastern sky was slowly brightening that he slowly paced out of the house. Went to the kitchen.

All night, Xiao Dalang didn't sleep, and Xia Chan didn't get much better. Tossing and turning all night, I wanted to get up several times and say it, but each time I was resisted by another controversy in my heart.

By the time Xia Cicada got up, it was already past the hour. Xiao Dalang and Xia Changsheng went to deliver the goods, and she was left alone at home. After washing at the well, I went to the vegetable patch next to the side, picked the red peppers, and put them in a basket to dry. I picked a few large eggplants and a few cucumbers. I thought I would fry it at noon.

Recently, the beans have been harvested less, and the braised pork and dried tofu are also easy to make, basically, the two can be done in half a day. I also have more free time. Thinking that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is slowly getting cooler, and their autumn clothes haven't been made yet. There is also this house, counting the money in hand, and the matter of building a house is also on the agenda.

"Big sister, is the big sister at home?" Sister-in-law Wang pushed open the door and walked in in a hurry

Xia Chan looked up and saw the person coming, smiled and put the chili pepper in his hand, moved a bench from the side and handed it to Sister-in-law Wang

"Sister-in-law, why do you have time to come and sit today?"

"Look at what the sister said, the current situation of our family is not given by the eldest sister." In the past six months, because of the braised meat business, their family has saved dozens of silver. The child's father also said that even the money to build a few houses is enough. Thinking of the help of the eldest sister, I can't stop being grateful. Every time there is something delicious at home, she is always the first to think of them. No, the child's father, he had just returned from the town and got some fresh goods from the seaside, and she quickly brought them over.

"Ah, it's a lobster." Xia Chan took the basket handed over by Wang's sister-in-law, and when she saw the contents clearly, she was surprised and delighted. In the past, she was very fond of seafood, and since she came to ancient times, it was a luxury to eat a fish occasionally, not to mention, these fatty lobsters.

"Lobster? Does the big sister recognize this thing? ”

"Eh" Xia Cicada was stunned, "I heard someone talk about it once before, and I drooled when I heard it, so the impact was more profound"

"Oh, I'll just say, the eldest sister is well-informed, I was at home and the child's father and I discussed it for a long time, and I don't know what this thing is for. Unexpectedly, the eldest sister actually knew. ”

When Xia Chan heard this, she was overjoyed, "Sister-in-law hasn't seen a lobster?" However, when I think about it, I am relieved. Xiaojia Village is surrounded by mountains, and even if there is a river, it is also a living water river that flows all year round. Moreover, I have never heard anyone talk about raising fish at home. Most of them catch fish from the river to sell.

As for lobsters, she hadn't heard of them before.

"Hey, my sister-in-law rarely goes out, but I heard from the child's father, and the person who sold this thing also said that this thing can be used for cooking and soup. As soon as I heard that I could cook and eat, I immediately thought of you. Hurry up and get it for you."

"My sister-in-law is so good to me"

"Look at what you said, do we still use politeness?"

Xia Chan put the lobster into the kitchen and chatted with Wang's sister-in-law for a while. Speaking of shopping and buying clothes, Wang's sister-in-law also said that she also had this plan. It happened that tomorrow would be a big set, so the two made an appointment to go to the market together early tomorrow morning.

Waiting for Sister-in-law Wang to leave, she had nothing to do, and cleaned up the house inside and out, and when it was almost noon, Xiao Dalang came back with Xia Changsheng, followed by Xia Xiaohua's family. A few people talked and laughed and entered the house.

Ever since she got the lobster, Xia Cicada has been thinking about how to eat the most delicious. There is naturally such a dish on the dinner table at noon, and several people were very resistant to this hard-shell thing at first, since Xia Cicada peeled one and let the plug taste, everyone saw that the plug was eaten one after another, and they were curious, so they also picked it up and tasted it. It doesn't matter if you taste it, after a while, a large handkerchief lobster will be wiped out by a few people.

The afternoon passed quickly. After dinner, it was still early, Xia Chan took out some needlework and cloth and sat in the yard to learn needlework, Xiao Dalang sat on the side to weave bamboo baskets, and Xia Changsheng squatted on the ground with a wooden stick to practice calligraphy.

The words that Xia Changsheng recognized were all taught by Xia Chan. Although Xia Chan had also asked Xia Changsheng if he wanted to go to the academy before, he refused. Although Xia Chan was reluctant to force him, she thought that if he followed her to do things in the future, it would not work if he didn't know how to read. So, from then on, he would be taught ten big characters every night. Over time, Xia Changsheng also became healthy, and had the habit of squatting in the yard to practice calligraphy after meals.

"Changsheng, Dabao Academy will have a holiday tomorrow, and after we pick up Dabao at noon, let's go to the restaurant to eat together." I haven't eaten the pigeon of Dexuan Restaurant for a long time, and I miss it a little. ”

Xia Changsheng looked up at Xiao Dalang, nodded with a chuckle, and said yes.

Today is not busy, when lying in bed, Xia Cicada did not feel the slightest sleep. I closed my eyes and recuperated, and by the way, I recalled some ways to make money.

Xiao Dalang, who was lying on the side of Xia Chan, stared at her back very sadly at this time. The daughter-in-law didn't say a word to him all day today, and even if he deliberately found something to say, the daughter-in-law looked perfunctory. All day long, he was thinking about his daughter-in-law's words yesterday, and today he asked his eldest brother-in-law for a few tricks to coax his daughter-in-law, but the effect didn't seem to be very obvious. The daughter-in-law still didn't want to deal with him.

Xiao Dalang stared at Xia Chan's back like this, for a long time, until there was a shallow breathing sound around him, he sighed lightly, and pulled the person around him close to his arms and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Day 2

"Big sister, why did you buy so much fabric. It's still so hot, why did you buy cotton together? (To be continued.) )
