midday

"Do you have a clue about Mo Qiye's case?" I took a bite of green vegetables and put it in my mouth. Murong Ye heard Xia Chan's words and glanced up at her, "Not yet." ”

"Need help?" Xia Chan asked again

Murong Ye saw that Xia Cicada had sandwiched vegetables several times in a row, thinking that she liked to eat them, so he followed her example and put a chopstick of greens and vegetables into her bowl. Xia Chan glanced up at Murong Ye, didn't say anything, picked up the vegetables and ate them. Seeing this, Murong Ye smiled stupidly like a child who had stolen candy

"Are you really willing to help?" He knew Xia Chan's cleverness, and he also knew that if she helped, things might progress faster, but at the same time, he was also very uneasy. There are too many things involved in this matter, and she is afraid that she will accidentally become the target of public criticism. However, if she insists. He would have agreed, too.

The tangled Xia Cicada on Murong Ye's face saw it in his eyes, took a mouthful of sauerkraut and put it in his mouth, and raised his head in silence

"Come on, you've helped me so much, I have to say no." Xia Chan smiled at Murong Ye. Seeing this, Murong Ye nodded and agreed with Xia Chan's opinion.

After lunch, Xia Chan asked Murong Ye to go back first, and she picked up Dabao early tomorrow morning before going over. Wuxia Cicada took Forestry to Xiaojia Village again, this time she did not go to Wang Shugen's house, and went directly to the field. saw the four long-term workers that Wang's sister-in-law helped her find, and personally explained some things to them, and paid half of their wages in advance before returning to Liang Village.

Because he was going to leave home for a while, after eating in the evening, Xia Chan took some silver taels and handed them to the Lin family for this period of time. He also asked Lin to prepare luggage for Forestry. Forestry is very smart, and she hopes that Forestry can be a productive person in the future. So she never hides her private reads();.

Lying in bed at night, Xia Cicada had insomnia without warning. The two pieces of news that Murong Ye brought today shocked her. Two seemingly unrelated things, as long as you dig deeper, you can find the connection between them. Mo Qiye was afraid that they wanted to drag Murong Ye and Xiao Shilang into this matter. They were trying to break her. But... Xia Chan frowned, feeling that things didn't seem to be so simple. They shouldn't be around her for a day or two, so they should know something about her. But Xiao Shilang's work is obviously not clever. Or is there something in it that she hasn't thought of yet?

Since Xiao Dalang's true identity was revealed, her side seems to have never been peaceful anymore, first the Xia family, then the old mansion, and then Xiao Shilang. What will happen in the future. Xia Cicada couldn't guess at all. It is precisely because of this incomprehension. The uneasiness in my heart grew stronger.

A large part of the reason why she suddenly offered to help Murong Ye today was this uneasiness from the bottom of her heart. The remaining half is uncertainty about the future. Xiao Shilang is dead, and the only clue is broken, she understands. If you want to find new evidence, you must go to the county seat. Go to the capital. Only there was what she was looking for. But she was hesitating and afraid. Zhao Qi and Murong Ye reminded her that she was not afraid, but now the Xia family only has one single seedling left. If something happens to him again, what face will she have to see the Xia couple many years later.

Tossing and turning. Xia Chan turned over and lay down face to face with Lin. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Lin Shi was not sleeping, and at this time, he looked at her with a worried face, and Xia Chan saw this. asked in a low voice

"Why haven't you slept so late?"

Lin pulled the quilt and moved it to the side, "What about you, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

Xia Chan looked at Lin and smiled, "I can't sleep." ”

"Me too." The Lin family also looked at Xia Chan and smiled, "Owner." Although I haven't been here for long, I can tell that you are a good person. ”

"Thank you. However, don't just look at people, I don't think I'm a good person. Certainly not a bad person. Xia Cicada was rarely playful for a while, lying flat and smiling at the roof with some self-deprecation

"No, although I don't dare to say how accurate I am in seeing people, my heart tells me that you are a good person." Lin followed Xia Chan to lie flat, staring straight at the beam with his eyes, his expression deep in thought

"You're so smart that you must have guessed a little bit about my past, but now is not the time, and when the time comes, I'll tell you about my past."

Xia Chan turned her head and glanced at the Lin family, she was a little curious about the Lin family's past, but she didn't get to the point where she had to want to know. After all, everyone has the right to have secrets, and although she bought them, she can't control a person's soul. Xia Chan took Lin's hand and glanced at it twice in the moonlight

"Everyone has their own past, you have it, and I have it. That's the past that a person should have in their hearts. It is the mark of your growth, where there is good, and of course, there is also the past that we don't want to mention again in our lives. But that's your own, and no one can replace it. So, if you want to bury it in the bottom of your heart, bury it in the bottom of your heart. There is no need to explain it to anyone. As long as you don't betray me within ten years, you'll be able to do what you want to do in ten years. ”

"Thank you." It's been a long time since no one had spoken such warm words to her so considerately and understandingly. It seems that since the death of her mother, she has become a person. Lin looked at the woman in front of him, who was obviously only a teenager but seemed to have experienced countless vicissitudes, and felt a pity in his heart. Back then, she was like her, embattled, but she was stronger than him. If she had encountered such a scene as this afternoon, she would have been at a loss except to panic. And she was so calm and easy to defeat a group of people. From the bottom of her heart, she is envious and adores her.

After breakfast on the second day, Xia Chan helped the Lin family carry the things they had packed last night to the ox cart, and went to the village chief's family to help take care of the family these days. After these were done, Xia Cicada drove the ox cart to the town with the forestry. Dabao has a holiday today. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I also took him to the county seat for a trip to reads();. On the one hand, he wants to fulfill his promise, and on the other hand, he also wants Dabao to see more. Reading is reasonable, but life can experience more things that books can't teach. In the future, the Xia family will rely on Dabao, and she hopes that he can support the hope of the Xia family.

The academy was only closed at noon, and before going to the town, Xia Chan took the forestry to Wangjia Village first. When I went out for a few days, I always had to talk to Xia Xiaohua, Xia Xiaohua was very emotional in the past, and she shed tears at every turn. After the accident in the Xia family, Xia Xiaohua couldn't see Xia Chan crying, and several times Xia Cicada was made to cry and laugh by Xia Xiaohua. But. I also knew in my heart that she was afraid, afraid of parting and losing.

It's May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and sitting on the ox cart, it's uncomfortable to get sunburned. Xia Cicada pulled a piece of cloth and handed it to Forestry for him to put on himself. The province is tanned.

Forestry hesitated. took the cloth, did not drape the cloth on himself, but sat very intimately to help Xia Cicada shade the sun

"You're working hard like this. Well, just put it on yourself. My sister has grown up, and she has a healthy tan, and you are still young. If the tan is too dark, it will be difficult to find a daughter-in-law in the future. "Xia Cicada fools the child in a set. However, the object is forestry. This child is precocious, and he is completely out of control of Xia Cicada's fooling.

"My sister lied, my mother said that men are more masculine when they are sunburned. My mother also said that girls are made of water. Protect them. Sister, I've grown up and become a man. In the future, I will protect you with Brother Dabao. Never let anyone bully you again. ”

Xia Cicada was stunned and turned her head to look at Forestry. Pull him to his side and place a hand on his shoulder. Eyes look ahead

"Okay, when you grow up, you and Brother Dabao will protect your sister together, but you are still young, you have to listen to your sister, you know?"

"Got it." Forestry nodded as if he didn't understand

It's still a child's simplicity, and they can quickly forget their previous troubles with just a few words. Xia Cicada smiled at the forestry, "This is a good child, okay." It's done, let's speed up. ”

When she arrived at Xia Xiaohua's house, Xia Xiaohua was sitting in the yard making dried tofu. Seeing Xia Chan enter the door, he happily wiped his hands and pulled Xia Cicada to the house. Xia Chan let Xia Xiaohua pull her into the house.

"You busy man, why do you have time to come and see me today?" Xia Xiaohua poured a glass of water for Xia Cicada and a glass for Forestry. I did it next to Xia Cicada, looked at Xia Cicada carefully, and only came with confidence after making sure that she was not thin.

"Wrong, if I'm not mistaken, didn't I just come a few days ago? Besides, this is also the eldest sister's in-law's house, if I come often, what if my brother-in-law has an opinion about me. Xia Cicada laughed and teased Xia Xiaohua. Xia Xiaohua was thin-skinned, and she was blushing when Xia Chan said a few words

"What nonsense, he dares. If it weren't for you, a few of us might still be hungry. It's too late for him to thank you, how can he dislike you. Xia Xiaohua said with a proud face, Xia Chan frowned slightly when she heard this, put down the water cup in her hand, pulled Xia Xiaohua's hand, and said with a stern face

"Eldest sister, did you say what you just told me in front of your brother-in-law?"

Xia Xiaohua saw that Xia Chan's face suddenly changed, thinking that something was wrong, and her face followed Yan Sù a lot

, Hearing Xia Chan's words, he thought about it and shook his head, "No, I haven't said it once." ”

"That's good, that's good." Scared to death. The previous Xia Xiaohua was honest and clumsy. She definitely couldn't say such a thing, so she wasn't worried at all, and naturally she didn't remember to tell her anything. But since they started their own business, Xia Xiaohua's whole person has changed and become much more shrewd, fortunately, her nature is still good, but for the husband and wife who only get along... Xia Cicada was a little worried.

"Sister, what you said to me just now, don't say it again in the future, especially in front of your brother-in-law. Also, don't say anything like thanks to me. Now your every qiē is the result of your own efforts, and it has nothing to do with me. Sister, you are the only one in our family who is happy now, and I also hope that you can be happy for the rest of your life. Don't bother to hurt your anger because of something that is simply not worth it. You know? ”

Xia Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward to take Xia Cicada into her arms. Tears rolled down her cheeks. There are all kinds of feelings in her heart, but none of them can clear her current mood.

"Don't worry, I know. I'll listen to you and never say anything like that again. Erya, my sister not only wants to be happy, but also wants to see you happy, my sister knows, in fact, you still have feelings for Da Lang, in this case, why can't you be together again. I haven't seen Da Lang since you separated, how is he now, is he okay? In her heart, she hopes that Erya can still be with Da Lang. Such a good man, if you miss it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet again in this life. However, she also knew her second girl's temper, so she never talked about it. But this will, she also hopes that she can be happy.

What happened in the past, whatever it was, what happened, who was right and who was wrong. In the face of whether or not you can be happy, those are secondary. Nothing catches the importance of when happiness comes. She had also indulged in the valley and understood the helplessness and suffering at that time. Now, looking at Erya, in addition to being sad, she blames herself more.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Xia Chan didn't want to continue this topic, "Today I came here to sue you, I'm going to the county seat for a few days." Not sure when I'll be back. Don't go home lately. I'll come back to see you later. ”

"To the county seat? Is it a restaurant thing? "I remembered that Erya said that he bought a restaurant in the county seat, and it seems to be being renovated recently. So it's natural to think it's because of the restaurant.

Xia Chan was thinking that she couldn't find a suitable reason, but she didn't expect Xia Xiaohua to think of a reason for her. Nodding his head, "Yes." So go for a few more days. When I get out of town, I'll take Dabao with me. ”

"Aren't you going to do something? Will it be inconvenient to carry Dabao? Xia Xiaohua said worriedly

Xia Chan smiled, "It's okay, I also promised Dabao before, and when I have time, I will take him to the county seat to play, just now I have the opportunity, and there is forestry, it won't delay me or anything." ”

Xia Xiaohua glanced at forestry, thought about it, and felt that it was feasible. Nodding, "Okay then." Be careful on the road. Go early and come back early. ”

"Okay."

Leaving Wang's house, I went directly to the town, and when I arrived at the gate of the academy, I was catching up with the academy class. The scholars came out of the academy in twos and threes, and Xia Cicada pulled the forestry to stand at the gate and wait for the treasure. Forestry looked at the scholars passing by in twos and threes, shoulder to shoulder, holding the book and talking and laughing past them, with a look of envy. When Xia Cicada lowered her head, she saw this scene in her eyes.

"Forestry, do you want to go to the academy to study?" I should think very much, that look was also seen on Dabao at the beginning. It seems that she is going to rethink the future of forestry.

People should have dreams, not a planned future. Although the latter seems to be a little smoother, it is not necessarily what others want. Xia Chan didn't want to have a good heart, and in the end he couldn't get a satisfactory result.

Forestry raised his head and glanced at Xia Cicada, did not answer immediately, thought for a while, looked at Xia Cicada and shook his head, "I don't want to, I want to make money, make a lot of money, and let my mother and sister live a good life." My mother said it was useless to read. It is enough to know simple words. ”

"Really?" What would Lin say to forestry? "Forestry, you don't have to worry, if you want to study, the eldest sister will definitely support you. You're still too young to do anything you need to study for a few years before you can do anything. ”

"I see." (To be continued.) )
