004 The first mention of separation
"Sister-in-law, why do you ask that. Wheat, corn, of course. Aren't all of us like this? ”
"Now you grow wheat and corn?" Didn't wheat be planted years ago? Isn't corn only grown in May or June? It's no wonder that the yield in ancient times was low, and this thing that obviously has two seasons a year has been forced for you to make one season
Su Shi was puzzled, and looked at Xia Chan suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you, our ancestors here have been growing food like this for generations."
"Really? It's okay, I'll just ask, "She believes it, and even now when she says it, no one here will believe it, and they will think she's crazy." Let's wait until she tries.
Su Shi didn't know what happened this morning, and she was also an honest person, so naturally she wouldn't suspect anything about Xia Chan. Just when she really just asks casually. I saw that breakfast was almost over. Turning back
"Sister-in-law, you help watch the fire first, I'll call the two little guys in our family to come over for dinner"
"Okay, third brother and sister, you can go with confidence, I have it."
Xiao Sanlang and Su have a son and a daughter, and the eldest son is four years old this year, nicknamed Goudan. The youngest daughter is two years old this year, and her name is Niuniu. Both children are white and clean, but they are very thin. It may be due to some malnutrition.
After a while, Su Shi came over, smiled apologetically at Xia Cicada, and then began to set the meal. Breakfast in the morning, a bowl of cornmeal batter for one person, a cornmeal tortilla, and a plate of old pickles on the table.
Old Man Xiao and Liu, as well as Xiao Xiaoyu, the youngest daughter of the Xiao family, had another bowl of egg drop soup
Waiting for everyone to sit down, sister-in-law Xiao Xiaoyu glared at Xia Chan, frowned and looked at the egg drop soup in the bowl
"Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you last night that I was going to eat scrambled eggs for this morning's eggs? Why did you make me egg drop soup again?"
Xia Cicada took a bite of the cake and carefully recalled the memory of the original owner. I don't think there's such a paragraph. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Xiaoyu looking at herself with a provocative face, and immediately understood that this was for her mother's grievances
Xia Chan sneered and looked at Old Man Xiao with a pitiful and innocent expression
"Little sister, are you mistaken, I didn't hear this last night. Otherwise, I'll fry you another one. ”
"Hmph, ruined girl, how rich you are, such a scourge of things."
"This ......" Xia Chan looked embarrassed, and frequently looked at Old Man Xiao, who was helpless and scolded
"Okay, what to do and what to eat, where is so much nonsense"
Xiao Xiaoyu glanced at Old Man Xiao with a dissatisfied face when he heard this, and then raised his head and glared at Xia Chan fiercely. Seeing this, Huang on the side stared at Xiao Xiaoyu's egg soup with a smile
"Sister-in-law, if you don't like to drink, just give our big bear and little bear to drink, you see the two of them are greedy, oops, look that saliva is about to flow into the bowl. Besides, they're also your own nephews, so you won't just let them watch you eat alone."
What Xiao Xiaoyu said just now was like being embarrassed by Xia Cicada, she didn't plan to really not drink this bowl of egg soup, seeing that Huang wanted to beat her egg soup, of course she was dissatisfied
"What do you mean for me to eat alone, don't our parents have them too?"
As soon as these words came out, Old Man Xiao and Liu's faces were embarrassed, and a large table of people at the table suddenly fell silent. But this does not include the Huang family, in fact, she has long been dissatisfied with such a distribution every morning, there are more than a dozen chickens at home, but the Liu family is reluctant to give them the rest of them to eat, but she raises her little girl with good food and drink every day, hum, why, is it possible that she still wants to fly out of the chicken coop a phoenix
"Oh, look at my sister-in-law's words, isn't this a slap in the face of my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law is an adult who can endure even if she is really greedy, but the children are different, they are still young, and it is the time to grow their bodies, and besides, our family is not without eggs, why can't we give them one, right?"
"No way, I still want to eat my mother's eggs, I want to be beautiful. Those eggs are all Lao Niang's, and whoever the old lady wants to eat can eat them" Liu is a typical iron rooster, and it has always been only someone else's share, and there has never been a share she has given out. Of course, this also depends on people, such as Xiao Shilang, that is her heart and liver, it is estimated that she is willing to give up her old life, and then there are her two daughters. The other daughters-in-law, sons, grandchildren, and grandchildren are all outsiders in her eyes, don't ask her why she is like this, but she does it just like that.
"Mother, I won't agree if you say that, we also fed this chicken, why don't we have anything to eat, and my sister-in-law is fourteen this year, she can eat eggs, why can't her seven or eight-year-old nephew eat it, what kind of logic is this?"
Xia Cicada took a piece of cake and chewed it slowly, drank some soup when it was dry, and finished the meal after a while. She got up and went to the pot to fill a bowl again, and then went to get a cake, planning to send it to Xiao Dalang to eat
"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing. Your belly is a water tank, drink so much, you are a pig, eat so many cakes"
Xia Chan's face suddenly fell, why are you not happy, then I should be a back, I really think I am a bully, but I can't show it on my face, Zhen Nima is aggrieved
"Mother, look at what you said, I didn't take it for Da Lang, you eat first, I'll come when I go"
After speaking, he ignored Liu's increasingly gloomy face and walked quickly to the house
"Look at it, old man, look at it, this is going to turn the sky upside down, and everyone is bullying me, an old woman. What am I doing raising so many sons, do you want to see how you marry your daughter-in-law and bully me? Woo woo woo...."Liu began to cry as he spoke, and the old man Xiao on the side turned pale with anger
"Alright, don't cry. Starting tomorrow morning, a child will have a bowl of egg soup. Don't always look at the eldest daughter-in-law's unpleasant eyes, and don't look for trouble with me if you have nothing to do. Hmph"
After the old man Xiao finished speaking, he got up and picked up the guy who was farming and went out, and Xiao Sanlang at the table also got up and walked out when he saw this, but Xiao Erlang still should eat and drink, as if he didn't hear the argument just now
Xia Chan really doesn't care about this side, after all, whether the Huang family wins or not, she has no children, and now she desperately hopes for one thing, that is, to split up. Since Liu's dislike of Xiao Dalang is a burden, and Old Man Xiao is embarrassed to mention it, then they will mention it themselves, and she will never want to live the days when she has to look at people's faces to eat all day long. Moreover, with her doctorate degree from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, she didn't believe that this backward ancient time could starve her to death?
"Let's eat" Xia Cicada put the small table in the corner of the bed on the bed and put the bowl on it. Looking at this hesitant man, she always felt that she should help him, I heard them say that he should have been injured for three months, not for a long time, it should not be the best treatment period, it is said that the injury was broken during hunting, so what is the specific broken hair?
Xia Chan slowly lifted the quilt with his hand thinking about it, Xiao Dalang was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Xia Chan in confusion
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just want to see your injury, you sue me that your leg is injured, where is the injury?"
Didn't she know? Why do you ask? Although Xiao Dalang was puzzled, he obediently put the dining table aside, lifted the quilt, lifted his pants netted a little, and pointed to the position of his ankle and whispered
"This is the place where I fell down a very high mountain and broke it."
Xia Chan studied it carefully, and when she was a layman after all, she didn't get any results. But...
"Da Lang, how long has it been since you took a bath?"
Hearing this, Xiao Dalang's face turned red, and he spoke slowly for a long time
"It's been three months since I fell and injured myself" After speaking, he raised his head sharply again, "Daughter-in-law, I didn't mean not to wash, I just... Daughter-in-law, do you dislike me? ”
"No, I'll just ask. In this way, you eat first, and when I come back from the field at noon, I will give you a little less water to take a bath, and by the way, I will also change the clothes on my body, I used to blame me for not taking good care of you, but don't worry, I will take good care of you in the future, and, believe me, your legs will definitely be better."
"Really, daughter-in-law" Xiao Dalang smiled stupidly, "Daughter-in-law, you are so good"
Xia Chan saw Xiao Dalang smile for the first time, silly and simple, but it made her feel very relieved. In modern times, after listening to too many sweet words, the mountains and the sea swear, there is no one who has a silly smile from him. It turns out that there are some things that really have nothing to do with money, sweet words. The purest and purest is the most beautiful.
Seeing Xiao Dalang happily finish all the rice in the bowl, Xia Chan picked up the bowl and planned to go out. When I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered the separation. She turned around and walked back, in fact, she knew that she could just leave with a word, but he was afraid that this stubborn man would misunderstand her kindness
"Da Lang, I'll tell you one thing now, you think about it first, and come back at noon to give me an answer. However, I hope you think about it, after so many things have happened recently, some things, some people, how to get along, you should seriously and maturely think about it, you are a man, you are the pillar of the family, I hope you think about not only yourself but also for me."
Xiao Dalang had never seen such a strict Xia Cicada, but he knew that no matter what decision she made, it would definitely be for her own good
Xiao Dalang nodded, Xia Chan smiled and continued, "I want to split up"
