When he returned home, Dabao sat on the kang and didn't know what to say to Xiao Dalang, Xiao Dalang smiled and nodded his forehead. When I looked up and saw me come in, the smile on my face instantly retracted, and then a look of uneasiness appeared, I looked funny, but ignored it

I went to the kitchen to clean up my things, and took out the fabric I bought to find Sister-in-law Wang to cut it, and planned to try it myself at night.

When I came back, I bought pork bones and some lean meat. I haven't eaten dumplings yet. When I suddenly remembered it, I felt that I wanted to eat. asked Dabao, and he was also looking forward to it.

Seeing Dabao's appearance, he was a little distressed, under the conditions of the Xia family, it is estimated that Dabao and they have not eaten dumplings for a long time. Although there is not much time left before noon, fortunately, there is nothing at home, and when you are hungry, you can eat a snack to cushion your stomach, but you are not in a hurry to eat.

Chop the minced meat, chop the vegetables, and make the noodles. Until it was wrapped, it was almost time to get down, the first pot of dumplings was cooked, and Xia Cicada was still dipped in vinegar and garlic to eat.

Xia Cicada didn't eat much of this meal, Dabao ate a big bowl, and after eating, he kept burping, so scared that Xia Cicada thought that he had survived. Xiao Dalang also ate a lot. Xia Chan felt that Xiao Dalang had been avoiding her since she came back, and this understanding made her very unhappy.

Originally, I was going to continue hoeing vegetables in the afternoon, but the angry Xia Cicada also lost his mind. took the fabric and went to Wang's sister-in-law's house to continue making clothes.

"Woo woo"

As soon as Xia Chan came in, she heard the cry of Wang's sister-in-law, pushed open the door, and saw that Brother Shugen was also standing in front of the bed with a solemn face, sighing in a low voice. Xia Chan took two more steps inside curiously, and saw that there was still an eleven or twelve-year-old lean boy lying on the bed. At this time, his eyes were closed and his face was pale.

Take a closer look at the boy and Brother Tree Roots. Xia Chan instantly understood that it should be their eldest son who had been an apprentice in the town, Wang Qiang.

It's just that Wang's sister-in-law went to see him a few days ago, why did she come back today. It looks like he's sick.

"Big sister, you're here. Woo woo... My son is only thirteen years old. How could they do that? He was beaten like this. Woo, my wretched child."

It turned out to be beaten by someone? Xia Chan was also worried in her heart. At the same time, I wondered what happened to beat a thirteen-year-old like this?

"Brother Shugen, what happened, wasn't it okay when my sister-in-law went to see Hadron a few days ago?"

When Wang Shugen heard this, he sighed again. It's all to blame for his lack of ability. gave birth to so many children, but couldn't afford to raise them, let this early sensible eldest son go out to be an apprentice to others, originally thinking that he could have a skill to accompany him in the future, but they were not ladylike, the owner of the rice grain store was a brute, bullying people to bully people like this, not allowed to eat, let work every day. If you can't do it, you will be beaten, a good child, and you will be tortured like this.

Wang Shugen finished telling the story intermittently, and Xia Chan, an outsider, was itching. However, I also know that the cruelty of reality.

comforted Wang's sister-in-law, and then returned home with the fabric. Sitting on the kang and thinking about what happened to Wang Qiang, it made her understand more and more that no matter what era, no matter what era, no money or power, she can't do it.

Xia Chan raised her head and called Dabao, who was playing in the yard, into the house, "Dabao, do you want to study?" ”

Dabao was stunned, and for some reason the second sister suddenly said this, but it was only for a moment. quickly replied, "Yes, second sister, I want to study." ”

Xia Chan nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Why do you want to study?"

Dabao thought for a while, "When I finish reading and taking the Xiucai exam, my grandmother and uncle won't dare to bully my parents." Big brother doesn't have to go into the mountains alone every day to save food to eat."

Xia Chan didn't expect Dabao to say this, and she never knew that Xia Changsheng was so sensible. There was a slight flute for a while.

After a long time, he said, "Since Dabao wants to study, is it okay for the second sister to send you to study." Like you said, you must study hard, get famous, fight for your father, and love your brother."

"Yes"

"Okay, then tomorrow when the second sister goes to the town, I will ask someone to help inquire."

When Dabao went to the courtyard, Xia Chan turned his head to look at Xiao Dalang, and Xiao Dalang happened to look at her. Looking at each other, Xia Cicada lowered her head embarrassedly

"You won't be upset if I do this"

Xiao Dalang smiled when he heard this, "No, everything in our family is yours, and I am yours too." So except for the one you don't want me, you don't have to consult with me. ”

Xia Chan raised her head, her eyes sinking into Xiao Dalang's gentle smile. After a long time, when the lips of the two were about to be put on again, Dabao broke into the room and woke up the two

Xia Chan's face turned red with shame, and she glanced at Xiao Dalang coquettishly. and looked at Dabao unhappily

|“ What are you doing, hurrying. It's so big, do you know how stable it is?"

Dabao rolled his eyes at Xia Chan, "It's not that the second brother-in-law wants to kiss you, but he didn't kiss you." What are you angry with me, just let the second brother-in-law act faster next time."

"You ......" He is only a few years old, and he understands everything.

Xiao Dalang's face was also flushed when Dabao said it, but he looked a little dark and not very obvious.

"Xia Dabao, you'd better have something urgent to say, otherwise, you won't eat tonight"

"It's Grandma Wang next door, he asked me to sue you, Uncle Wang went to the town alone, and Aunt Wang cried at home alone."

"What?" Xia Cicada hurriedly put down the needle in his hand and got out of bed and ran next door.

As soon as she entered the door, Grandma Wang took Xia Chan's hand and wiped her tears

"Good boy, you have to find a way to help our roots this time, he is in such a hurry to go out, but don't do anything stupid. One is already lying in the house, and if anything happens to him, how can he call me this old bone?"

Xia Chan glanced at the empty yard, "What about the other children?" What about Grandpa Wang? ”

The children were in the house taking care of their brother and convincing his mother. The old man went out to chase after him.

Xia Chan screamed badly when she heard it, but she didn't expect that the usually cute and silent person would be so stubborn at this time. Xia Chan appeased Grandma Wang for a few words, but she didn't bother to go to the house to comfort Sister-in-law Wang, and ran to Uncle Wang's house with a gust of wind and asked him to drive the ox cart to take her to the town to find someone.

Xia Chan was anxious, urging Uncle Wang all the way, and Uncle Wang also knew that things were serious, and the road of an hour was shortened by a quarter of an hour.

Xia Chan didn't know anyone in the town, except for Dr. Huang, who was the shopkeeper of Yipinge, although Xia Chan didn't want to owe others favors, but Wang's sister-in-law's family helped them too much. She couldn't watch Wang Shugen's accident happen.

After thinking about it again, he still asked Uncle Wang to drive the ox cart to Yipinge. However, Xia Cicada nodded his back, and the guy who watched the store said that the shopkeeper Hu had recently gone to the county seat. It takes an hour for the county seat to be from the town, and the time to go back and forth is only too late.

Xia Chan got into the ox cart a little anxiously and asked Uncle Wang to drive directly to the shop called the time-honored rice grain store.
