"Milk, milk, don't be angry." , "Auntie, look at what should you do if grandma is angry like this." Xue Miao rolled a pair of slightly upturned phoenix eyes, and said with a crying voice.

"Your family is a life-seeker, eating and drinking for nothing every day, feeding the white-eyed wolves who are not familiar. What kind of sin has happened to this old woman, who has spread your family. Lee began to howl.

There was a crunch of the door, followed by hurried footsteps floating in the thick night with Zhao's voice, "Oh, what's the matter, I'm not around, who has made your old man sad." ”

Zhao walked up to Mrs. Chen and pretended to scold Chen Xuemiao: "Good girl, so old, she doesn't understand anything at all, how can she make grandma angry again." I don't apologize to my grandmother, I don't say thank you to my grandmother for eating and drinking every day, and I make my grandmother angry every day. ”

Chen Xuejiao walked out of the room, she knew that the Zhao family was referring to Sang scolding Huai, and using Xue Miao to scold herself.

"My mother will blame me, it was Xuejiao who made my grandmother angry. After running wild for a day, he lost his temper when he came home. Xue Miao is infinitely aggrieved.

"Sister-in-law, as an elder, the younger generation is not sensible and makes the old man sad, you should beat and scold. Not only refers to Xue Ru, Xue Jiao, or even Xue Miao, you can be beaten and scolded if you are disobedient, how can you make a fuss from the juniors. Zhao said to Li with a straight face: "Look at the girly, if there is any mistake in this, who can afford it." ”

"Mother, don't be angry, it's hurtful. As an elder, you are the head of your family except for your father, you have to teach the younger generation, but don't be angry with yourself. Xue Jiao is not sensible, maybe it would be good to grow up. Zhao's seemingly comforting words were like adding fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, the sentence "Xue Jiao is not sensible" once again provoked Mrs. Chen's nerves, at this time Li took a bowl of water and handed it to Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen took a sip and smashed the bowl towards Li, the bowl shattered on the ground with a bang, and the fragments emitted a cold luster against the cool moonlight, making Xue Jiao's eyes hurt.

"Unkind bastard, little whore with a rotten heart and lungs, you want to burn me to death." Old Lady Chen's rough voice was raised.

Xue Jiao ran over to help Li and saw that Li's clothes were covered with water.

Xueru and Qi Ping also followed Xuejiao to their mother's side.

"What's the matter, I want my family to join forces to bully my wife. You guys are not a loser, you bought a pen and an inkstone, and you emptied your family by studying, and now you want to join forces to bully me. Mrs. Chen clapped her hands and shouted.

"Sister-in-law, you see that I just coaxed my mother, and you caused trouble again. You are kind enough to pour water for your mother, but you pour hot water for your mother, how can you let your mother hold back, if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, say it directly, there is no need to do anything in a bowl of water. Zhao's kind words were as cold as ice slag.

"I've tried water, heaven and earth conscience, how can I take hot water for my mother to drink." Li said aggrievedly.

"I'm usually a steady sister-in-law, why was it confused at the critical moment, you felt sorry for Xue Jiao and was trained, and I don't know if I took hot water in a daze. Alas, okay sister-in-law, who can guarantee that she will not be confused in this life. Zhao continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Oh, mother, your hands are hot and blistered." Xue Jiao held Li's hand and said with a crying voice: "Mother's hand is hot and blistered, there are a lot of blisters, I want to invite Langzhong." Milk, I was wrong, I shouldn't make you angry, if you give me money, I'll ask Lang Zhong to show my mother's hand. ”

Li Shi was full of suspicion, her hands did not blister, because the water was not hot at all, what happened to Xue Jiao, this child.

"Second aunt, second aunt, please, help me beg for milk, my mother's hands are hot and blistered, if you don't go to see Langzhong, how to work and how to cook for everyone in case of inflammation." Xue Jiao's eyes rolled with tears rolling and shouted at Zhao.

"What do you pretend, where you will be hot and blistered, Xuejiao, you are more and more good at lying." Xue Miao said contemptuously.

"Where did I lie, the water was so hot just now that my mother's hands were blistered, Sister Xue Miao, you saw it better than me just now, this time I lied. You help me beg grandma, my mother's hand. Xue Jiao began to cry.

"You still said that you didn't lie, the eldest aunt just poured water from the thermos kettle, the water in the thermos kettle is warm, why did it burn, so the blister may have been burned when it was burned." Xue Miao pursed her lips.

"That's right, Sister Xue Miao, you understand so much now, why was you so confused just now that your mother wanted to burn grandma." Chen Xuejiao suddenly burst into tears and smiled, and winked at Li, Xueru and Qi Ping slyly.

"Second aunt, I also know that you feel sorry for your grandmother and said foolish things and wronged my mother, but who doesn't feel sorry for grandma. The water my mother gave to my grandmother was lukewarm, and my grandmother dropped the bowl for no reason, you should persuade it, why did you wronged my mother. Chen Xuejiao looked at Zhao and said word by word.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't wronged you, it's not that my sister-in-law said that I didn't care about anything when I was nervous, filial piety as a child is the most important, presumably sister-in-law thinks the same way," Zhao's double-faced exquisiteness, "Xuejiao, you went out for most of the day today, and only came back at night, grandma was angry because she was worried about you, you should be sensible when you are older, and you must not make grandma angry in the future." ”

Why did you turn the finger at me again, it seems that you haven't played it anymore. Xue Jiao thought to herself, she had to use a killer move.

"I want to stay at home, but I'm scared, I'm scared. I'm afraid that my second aunt will make the decision and marry me into the Sun family in exchange for the future of my second brother. Xue Jiao cried as she spoke, her little face stubborn and pitiful.

Xue Jiao's words aroused everyone's hearts, and Li's, Xueru, and Qi Ping couldn't help crying, and Zhao's face was very ugly. Xue Jiao walked to Zhao's side and pulled up Zhao's clothes and didn't let go: "Second aunt, do you think I can not be afraid?" Xue Jiao simply sprinkled, pulling Zhao's clothes and crying: "Second aunt, it's not that I don't think about the future of my second brother, but that I married and no one helped my mother work, since it's all for the future of the second brother, why don't you marry Sister Xue Miao, Sister Xue Miao is so beautiful, the Sun family must like it." Zhao's face became more and more ugly, and he hurriedly said: "Which villains chewed their tongues and said that they would exchange you for the future of the second brother, and there was nothing to do." ”

"It's a big night, what is the family arguing like, don't hurry back to the house." Old Man Chen stood at the door of the hall, his face extremely ugly.

"Grandpa, Xue Jiao, she" Xue Miao cried.

"Don't interject, little ones." Old man Chen rarely gets angry, and just now Xue Jiao said that the matter of changing relatives touched his heart, "I am not allowed to mention the matter of exchanging relatives with the Sun family in the future." ”

Old Man Chen's words ended the quarrel, and the whole family went back to the house.

As soon as they entered the house, Chen Zimin and Chen Qi'an came back from a private school in the countryside.

Chen Qiping rushed over excitedly, "Dad, my brother is back, my second sister and I bought a lot of food in the town today for my father and brother to eat." ”

The family looked at Chen Xuejiao suspiciously. Chen Xuejiao didn't plan to hide it from her family, but she didn't say that the crab was exchanged for money in the Han family's Qingfeng Village, so she took out the food hidden in the lotus leaf and said with a smile: "The crab that Qi Ping and I caught in the Xiaohuai River took it to the town and exchanged it for copper plates, and bought some food for my father, mother, brothers and sisters." ”

The aroma of food wafted out. In this era, small traders and hawkers are not on the stage, and Chen Zimin, a talented showman, has never thought of exchanging things from his family for money. But when I saw the faces of my wife and children full of vegetables, I didn't say anything to blame.

"Next time, you can't change things secretly like this." Li sighed distressedly, she was worried that her daughter would be discovered by Mrs. Chen by doing this, and she would inevitably be scolded again.

"Dad and brother spend their brains on reading, come, eat chicken legs." Chen Xuejiao excitedly ripped off the chicken leg and handed it to Chen Zimin and Chen Qi'an.

"Give it to your mother, your mother works very hard." Chen Qi'an handed the chicken leg to Li.

"It's all, it's all there. Mother, come and try the osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, what you love to eat, bought in Hu Fulou. Sister, you also eat, there are also crystal crispy fragrant spring rolls, green silk sweet sauce hawthorn preserved meat, Dangshan crispy pear pulp. Chen Xuejiao stuffed a piece of chestnut flour cake into Li's mouth.

"Is this really a crab in exchange?" Li was not at ease.

"Can it still be fake? Mother, father, don't worry, this is indeed the crabs that Qi An and I picked up from the Xiaohuai River in exchange, a big family gave their son a full moon banquet, and just happened to see that all our crabs were wanted. Chen Xuejiao said with a straight face.

"Sister, you close your eyes." Chen Xuejiao walked up to Chen Xueru and said, Xueru looked at her sister's clever appearance with gentle eyes, although she didn't know what she was doing, she still closed her eyes. "Look." When Xueru opened her eyes, she saw Chen Xuejiao holding a beautiful head tie rope in her hand. "Sister, this is for you." Chen Xueru's face was slightly red, her eyes flashed with surprise, but she said, "Sister, I don't want it, you should wear it." ”

"My sister is so beautiful, she should dress up more beautifully, and when I make a fortune in the future, I will definitely buy a full set of jewelry hairpins for my sister." Chen Xuejiao tied the tie rope to Chen Xueru's hair.

"I caught crabs today and changed them to food, don't do this in the future." Xiucai's father said.

"Dad, as long as you can make your family eat and be happy, why can't you do this, not to mention that I didn't steal or rob." Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but use modern thinking to do ideological work for her father.

She doesn't care what the ancients think, face and lining, of course, linzi is important. Since she can't choose a rich lady who has no worries about food and clothing, she always has to play a good life in this era.

Chen Zimin, a rural showman, sighed and didn't speak when he heard his daughter's words, he was a showman in a private school, twenty taels of silver a year, and the rice distributed by the county, it stands to reason that there is no problem for his wife and daughter to live a well-fed and ordinary life, but the silver is handed over to Mrs. Chen and is counted as a public middle school.

Xue Jiao's words are right. Originally, I, the eldest brother, had to take care of my younger siblings, and I usually couldn't get out of school when I was in school, and I also went to catch crabs to exchange money on holidays. Chen Qi'an said.

Xue Jiao smiled at her brother, thinking to herself that her brother was not such a dead student.
