Compared to the hustle and bustle of the house, the kitchen is much more deserted. A large family sat in the house drinking tea and chatting, and only Su was alone in the kitchen preparing lunch

Xia Chan walked into the kitchen, glanced at it, and saw that Su Shi was busy spinning, and stepped forward to take the kitchen knife in her hand

"Third brother and sister, I'll chop vegetables, you go cook first." How long does it take for a person to be able to eat?

Su Shi looked up and was stunned, came back to his senses and said thank you, turned around to clean up the pot and prepare to stew rice

"Third brother and sister, why didn't you see the dog and Niuniu?"

"There are too many people today, so I'll let them stay in the house" Su Shi said lightly, but she couldn't hear the helplessness in Su Shi's words after living in the old mansion for a while

Although she has Xiao Dalang to help fight against the old mansion together, she can't help Xiao Sanlang and them in any way. After all, life is lived by oneself, and you know whether you are warm or cold.

When she came, she thought about what the Liu family would give them to eat today, and after Xiao Erlang's gambling debts, the Liu family deducted more than before, according to Huang's complaint, there may not be meat once a month.

Looking at the pork on the board, there are more than two catties if there are not three catties. Could it be that Xiao Dayun brought so much meat?

Su Shi turned his head just in time to see Xia Chan staring at the meat on the board in a daze, and explained

"This is what my mother asked us to buy with the second brother's family."

Xia Chan was stunned for a moment, the Liu family was really thick-skinned, and he didn't split up, and he still wanted his son and daughter-in-law to give a gift during the holidays. Also drunk.

Now that they had enough meat, they had two pheasants that they had brought. Today's noon dish should be plentiful.

Xia Cicada usually likes to cook food at home, and today is a festival. With the materials produced by Liu, I made a large table full of dishes, although I haven't eaten it yet, just from the appearance, it makes people very appetizing

A large room of people, gathered around two tables, eager to start tasting, at this time, no one saw Liu sitting on the main seat at this time. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot

"Third daughter-in-law, are you so spoiling things? Such a large piece of meat, you actually cooked it all in one meal. Tell me why our third child married a loser like you. Third, hit her for me. Such a loser. No matter how much money our old Xiao family has, we can't eat like this."

Xiao Sanlang at the other table heard this, rubbed his hands back and forth, and glanced at Su and Liu uneasily

"Mother. Daughter-in-law she ......."

"Shut up, I told you to beat her, do you dare to disobey me......" Liu Shi didn't wait for Xiao Sanlang to finish speaking, and looked like he was not going to say anything

Xia Chan, who was sitting in front of Su Shi, had a face full of displeasure, Nima was kind enough to cook a meal, just forget if she didn't praise it. It's still like this. Isn't it appetizing?

"Mother, the dishes on this table today are all made by me, and they have nothing to do with the third brother and sister." Xia Chan put down her chopsticks and looked at Liu with a smile

Liu was stunned. However, he quickly recovered his expression, looked at Xia Chan and said unhappily, "What, don't you think I dare to say anything about you if you do it?" Daughter-in-law, you really don't take me and your father seriously anymore. You didn't pay for the second child last time, but now you can't see us so well, why, you haven't eaten enough meat at home, do you have to be hungry for our family? ”

"You ....... "Xia Cicada Qi Knot" mother, if you don't plan to use up all the meat you bought. Then why don't you cut it up and put it out when you buy it, why do you have to put a whole piece outside? People who don't know will think that you are looking for fault now."

After speaking, Xia Chan's eyes were raised. If you want to fight, let's try it. Anyway, I'm not afraid of you.

"You...., boss, okay, this is the good daughter-in-law you married. How dare you talk to me like this, boss, are you dumb, why don't you hurry up and hit her with me?"

Liu wants to hit people today and wants to be addicted, and he wants to fight everyone when he sees him. Xia Chan rolled her eyes at Liu, got up and walked towards Old Man Xiao

"Dad, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you want me and Da Lang to come back for dinner, and we have already come back. As for this meal, I think if we stay any longer, we won't be able to eat well, so we might as well go back first."

As soon as Xia Chan's voice fell, Xiao Dalang got up, walked to her side, grabbed her and said softly

"I'm sorry to have wronged you again."

turned around, looked at Old Man Xiao and then at Liu

"Daddy, no matter what you think in your hearts, she is my daughter-in-law, and I hope there will be no second time like this. Besides, there is nothing to do in the future, so we won't come to eat. What is, let us do it. We'll go first."

When Xiao Dalang pulled Xia Chan out of the old mansion, it was noon. The sun was blazing on the earth, and from time to time there was a breeze from the trees on both sides of the village, gently brushing the cheeks, cool and clear. The two walked hand in hand along the main road of the village

"Don't blame me for letting you go hungry with me"

Xia Chan turned his head and smiled at Xiao Dalang

"What nonsense, compared to you, hunger is nothing." Xiao Dalang suddenly stopped and turned to face her, with a solemn expression on his face, revealing a trace of imperceptible sadness, and she was particularly distressed to see

"In the past, I always thought that I was not good enough, so my parents didn't like me, but now I gradually understand that the reason why they don't like me is probably just because I am me."

Xia Cicada was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her eyebrows were flirtatious. Pull Xiao Dalang forward and continue walking

"In fact, whether you are a person or a son of someone, as long as you have a clear conscience. As for the attitude of others, since they can't be influenced, they either learn to ignore or learn to accept it. ”

After working all morning, but not eating a bite, Xia Chan was annoyed in his heart. When I got home, I didn't want to do it again, but I was hungry. Xiao Dalang on the side looked at his daughter-in-law's tangled appearance, and laughed heartlessly

"Okay, it's a little bigger, whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you"

Xia Chan glanced at the sky, "It's all here, let's do it casually." Let's celebrate in the evening. ”

"Then let's eat the leftover meat bun from yesterday, this is ready-made, don't wait too long"

"Row"

The dough cake with meat buns was left yesterday, and Xiao Dalang just added the fresh braised pork made today. After a while, the meat sandwich bun was ready, and the two of them ate a meat sandwich bun with boiled water.

In the afternoon, we will continue to clean up the wild grapes that have been picked back, and this time the summer cicada plans to make two things, one raisin, and one eye wine. Some time ago, when the family bought a large vat, the boss gave a few small jars, which would be used to make wine.

The husband and wife spent an afternoon until the sun set, and finally made a bamboo cage of wild grapes. After dinner in the evening, the two sat in the courtyard with a bench to eat moon cakes and admire the moon

Xia Chan was carrying a bunch of grapes in her hand, and the whole person was nested in Xiao Dalang's arms, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, for some reason, she suddenly missed home

"Dalang, what do you think will be in the moon?"

Hearing this, Xiao Dalang raised his head and stared at the moon with a serious face, knocked for a long time, and shook his head

"I can't see some mountains beyond the cracks in some mountains"

"Have you heard the story of Chang'e and Hou Yi?"

"Who are Chang'e and Houyi?" Xiao Dalang asked suspiciously

"They... They are a pair of legendary mythological characters, and it is a very poignant love story. After speaking, Xia Chan was stunned, "Hey, in fact, I don't know, whether this is a love story or not." And I don't like what Chang'e did at the beginning. Although immortality is something that everyone wants to have, when the things you want to cherish are not stored, those things that you have obtained by unscrupulous means and painstaking efforts will become meaningless. If I were Chang'e, I would be willing to let Hou Yi miss me, instead of living in the Heavenly Palace, suffering from the bottom of my heart for thousands of years, except for loneliness, the rest is endless nostalgia and regret."

After listening to this story, Xiao Dalang listened to Xia Chan talk about his opinions. A lot of emotion flashed in her eyes, because she had her back to Xia Cicada, so she didn't see it clearly.

Xiao Dalang kept holding Xia Chan, not talking, and not disturbing her to speak, the two of them, still and moving, looked particularly beautiful in this silent night.

It's just that a beautiful picture is always difficult to last forever, suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence in the courtyard, Xia Cicada left Xiao Dalang, Xiao Dalang got up and walked to open the door

"Big brother, it's not good, our dad....our dad is gone"

"What?" Xiao Dalang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and looked panicked, "When is it, isn't it okay at noon?" ”

Xia Chan also heard the conversation at the door, walked over with a worried face, and asked

"What the hell is going on?"

Xiao Sanlang glanced at Xiao Dalang and then at Xia Chan, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "After you left at noon, our father made a big fire at our mother, and after that, our father didn't eat, so he went out." I haven't been back yet."

"Then why did you only think of looking for someone now, and what did so many of you do?" Xiao Dalang roared loudly, and Xia Cicada on the side took a step back in fright. It was the first time she had seen such an angry Xiao Dalang.

Until he was really worried about Old Man Xiao, thinking of the Xiao family, his brain hurt. stepped forward and pulled Xiao Dalang's sleeve and said

"Okay, what's the use of you shipping now. Let's think about where Dad can go. Let's call a few more people to look for it, trust me, Dad will be fine."

Xiaojia Village is not very big, and after a while, the news of Old Man Xiao's disappearance spread throughout Xiaojia Village. Even the village chief came out to help find someone together. It's just that seeing that the sky is about to dawn, there is still no news at all, Xiao Dalang's anxious eyes are red, and Xia Chan is worried, it's just that the entire Xiaojia Village is so big, seeing that everyone is about to turn Xiaojia Village around, and there is no figure of Old Man Xiao,

Could it be that he was arrested, but he is a half-hundred-hundred-year-old man, what is the benefit of arresting him, the Xiao family is poor, even if it is a ransom, there will not be much.

When it was almost dawn, Xiao Shilang and Ge Yuer also returned to the old house

"Woo woo, if your father has three long and two short, I won't live. It's all you unfilial sons, if it weren't for you, your father would be angry with me and run away from home. Woowoo"

Xia Chan didn't want to listen to Liu's crying, at this time, everyone should save their bodies and find someone, instead of crying and shouting about the world when they are not sure about the outcome of the matter.

"Da Lang, I suddenly felt that we should go to the back mountain to have a look, I always have a feeling that my father is in the back mountain." (To be continued.) )
