The little girl had already washed the dirt on her face at this time, only to see that she had apricot eyes and a nose, pink lips, delicate facial features without the slightest flaw, fair and delicate skin, not like a beggar at all, and was looking at Shen Xi with a shy face at this time.

Shen Xi didn't expect the little girl to look so good-looking, and there was a momentary loss of consciousness at the moment, and then he reacted suddenly, saying that people in their thirties would be intimidated by a little girl's appearance in the two lifetimes, which was really funny.

Shen Xi raised his head, and saw Zhou's smile on his face, as if he had picked up a treasure: "Stinky boy, I have decided to take this girl back to be my adopted daughter-in-law." ”

Shen Xi was stunned for a moment, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "Mother, what is an adopted daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhou glanced at him happily and said with a smile: "An adoptive daughter-in-law is an adoptive daughter-in-law, what else can it be?" ”

Shen Xi felt a chill in his heart, and asked bluntly: "You don't want her to grow up and be my daughter-in-law, right?" ”

Zhou was immediately unhappy when he saw Shen Xi's appearance, crossed his waist, crossed his eyebrows coldly, and snorted: "How old are you, do you know what a daughter-in-law is?" ”

Zhou paused, and then said, "The little girl is so handsome, aren't you happy to be your daughter-in-law?" When you get to the county seat, I will ask your father to go to the government to report her household registration and place it in our house...... This matter is settled, there is no room for negotiation, don't talk about it as before. ”

Shen Xi felt that something was wrong and asked, "Mother, did you become our family's child daughter-in-law without their consent?" Won't the government pursue it? ”

Zhou's eyebrows were cold: "What are you pursuing, this is not a crime!" Hmph, I think my mother hasn't read a book and it's easy to deceive, right? Your third aunt is the child daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and the Shen family is conceited, can you do anything illegal? ”

Shen Xi hesitated, and finally found a reluctantly justified reason: "But...... She...... She's older than me. ”

When the words fell, I heard Zhou's laugh and ridicule: "I said that you kid are stupid?" Child daughter-in-lawChild daughter-in-law, is your future daughter-in-law, must be older than you, otherwise how can you call it a child daughter-in-law? ”

Shen Xi was stunned for a long time, feeling that what Zhou said was really reasonable, and he also knew this statement in his previous life, and his heart was suddenly desolate, so he could only try to sell cuteness: "Mother, I only want you, not a daughter-in-law...... I'm not even seven years old, what do I want a daughter-in-law? ”

Zhou glanced at Shen Xi and sneered, "Do you think the old lady wants to?" At the age of seven, it's been a few years since you got married. When you're old, you won't be able to marry...... Our family is not a wealthy family, this little girl came to our house, and it was the old lady who went to the heart disease in advance. ”

Shen Xi said unconvinced: "Mother, I have the ability, I can marry my daughter-in-law by myself." ”

", what can you do? Let me tell you, with our family business, when you grow up and want to marry the daughter of a good family, where will you get so much money? Besides, there are so many juniors in the Shen family, and you are the eldest, so you may not add a few younger brothers, so it won't be your turn...... Go and go, be honest with your mother, and don't bully your future daughter-in-law. ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly, the marriage problem that was not solved at the age of twenty-eight in the previous life was solved before the age of seven in this life.

The little girl blushed, saw Shen Xi's depressed face, timidly took two steps forward, looked back at Zhou again, and then whispered extremely nervously: "Brother, do you think I'm dirty?" It's okay, I'll wash it clean and smell good in the future! ”

Shen Xi grinned and showed a smile that didn't fit his age, and said, "I'm not your brother, I'm your father-in-law." ”

Looking at the delicate little face of the little Lori, who was extremely expectant and longing, Shen Xi suddenly felt powerless to refuse, if it wasn't for the Zhou family wanting her to be a child daughter-in-law, what reason would there be to take in this little girl? Even in a peaceful year, a little girl whose life is thinner than paper will not be able to survive in this countryside, or having food is her greatest luxury.

After being silent for a long time, the little girl became more and more anxious, blushing, and gently pulled Shen Xi's sleeve: "Brother, don't worry, I will listen to you in the future, as long as you don't drive me away, I will listen to you for everything." ”

Shen Xi turned his head and stopped looking, so as not to touch the scene.

However, Zhou seemed to think of something, squatted down, and asked in a hot tone: "Little daughter-in-law, what is your name?" Tell my mother to listen. ”

Seeing Zhou's anxious appearance, Shen Xi laughed and ran to the side with his lips.

"My name is Lin Dai, my nickname is Dai'er, I am nine years old this year, and my mother ......," the little girl exclaimed jerkyly.

"Okay, good, the name is so good, look at him, his name is Shen Xi, his nickname is Han Wa'er, and I also call him Little Rabbit Cub, but you can't call him that, he hasn't done the crown salute yet, and he doesn't have a word, you can call him whatever you want...... In the future, he will be your husband, as long as you are good to him, if he has a future in the future, my mother promises to let you be the wife of the main house, okay, Dai'er? ”

Lin Dai nodded and didn't speak, but when she saw Shen Xi squatting by the river and looking at the reflection in the water, Dai frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on in her little head.

After a while, Zhou greeted Shen Xi, and the three of them turned back to Shuangxi Town, found an inn in the deep alley, and bargained with the boss for half a day, which can be regarded as staying.

After living in the tea room, the two shopkeepers moved a bath bucket to the room, and then kept heating the water in the bucket, while they were busy, they didn't forget to bring a message to the shopkeeper:

"Guest officer, the shopkeeper said, this bath bucket has to be counted separately, and the price is not bargained, he asked the small one to confirm with you again, if it is okay, if it is okay, if it is not good, the small one will be withdrawn."

Zhou Shi saw that the guy who spoke looked impatient, and his smiling face suddenly collapsed, and he snorted coldly: "Just take a bath here with you, and it will cost thirty yuan, you are really good at doing business, but I am happy today, I don't fight with you for this little money, tell you the shopkeeper, I will go down and pay the money later." ”

Shen Xi was sullen: "Mother, why do you like the new so much and hate the old?" I'm your own son, and I can buy two or three catties of meat for thirty dollars. ”

Before he finished his words, he saw Zhou turn his head and glare at him viciously, and said, "Little rabbit, what do you know?" A girl's family is to be a little more particular, where can you be like you, so old and bare-chested in the yard? ”

Shen Xi was speechless, but heard the little girl say timidly: "Brother, can you not watch me take a bath?" ”

Without waiting for Shen Xi to speak, Zhou laughed and said, "Hey, the little girl is still very shy, it's okay, now you are all young, it's okay, when the stinky boy is ten years old, you can't let him see it, you know?" My little daughter-in-law. ”

When Lin Dai heard this, she could only nod with a red face, but Shen Xi was angry, snorted, and was about to push the door out, but heard Zhou's greeting: "Han Wazi, where are you going?" Sit down honestly for me, I'm going to go out, you're here, take care of your little daughter-in-law, you two are not allowed to go out of this door, you know? ”

Shen Xi could only nod and sit back in his chair, playing with the teacup on the table idly.

Zhou's parting advice: "Don't run around, this is no more than the family, there are many bad people, those kidnappers like you the most like a little doll who doesn't know the world." Dale, go into the tub and wash up, and I'll go outside and buy you a beautiful outfit. ”

As soon as Zhou left, only Shen Xi and Lin Dai were left in the room.

The sound of the water came, and Shen Xi didn't deliberately turn his head to look at it with an attitude of disrespect, it was originally a little girl, and her body had not yet grown, so there was nothing to look at.

Lin Dai was nervous, and whispered: "You are not allowed to peek." ”

Shen Xi walked to the window, looked at the crowd of pedestrians outside, and said disdainfully: "No one peeks at you, hurry up and wash it, my mother won't be back in a long time." ”

"Oh."

Lin Dai obediently agreed, then sat in the bathtub and began to scrub up.

The sound of "bang" water continued to reach Shen Xi's ears, which made him a little uneasy, so he could only focus on the various pedestrians on the street, speculating on the identities of the passers-by, and after a long time, he suddenly became a little bored, turned around and returned to the table and wanted to sit down.

Lin Dai shouted, "Ah...... Brother, you liared, you said you wouldn't peek. ”

Only then did Shen Xi come back to his senses, and he actually forgot that Lin Dai was still bathing. At the same time, he felt very speechless, he was in his thirties in his two lives, and he was called a younger brother by a delicate and lovely little Lori, how did he feel awkward, and the feeling of losing his reputation in a lifetime arose.

Lin Dai hid in the barrel, shielded herself with the wall of the barrel, her head lying on the edge of the barrel, pouting, and glaring at Shen Xi with a full of grievances, as if she wanted to use her eyes to influence the rude little guy in front of her.

Shen Xi simply didn't avoid his gaze this time, looked directly at her and said with a smile: "Little sister, you still don't know the difference between Xianggong and younger brother, let alone the structure of the body...... Forget it, from today onwards, you have to call me brother, only then can we get along in harmony and I won't bully you. Do you have an opinion? ”

Lin Dai's eyes blinked, and she didn't understand Shen Xi's words. Girls are more precocious than men, but for her to understand something, she will have to wait at least until she is twelve or thirteen years old. She finally said with a little grievance: "Oh, I know, I will call you brother in the future...... Don't be angry, okay? ”

Shen Xi looked at the little Lori with a reluctant and shy look, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, tilted his head, looked at the clear and bright eyes of the little Lori, and asked, "Where is your father?" Why is it abandoned on the side of the road? ”

A trace of sadness flashed on Little Lori's face, but she pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word. Seeing this, Shen Xi didn't ask any more questions, and sat back on the stool.

After about a stick of incense, Zhou came back, holding a few clothes in his hand, which should be finished products bought in the town, Shen Xi looked at her happy appearance, and secretly said When did the old lady become so generous? I didn't buy myself new clothes for the Chinese New Year last year, and now my mother is so generous that she doesn't even blink an eye......

When Zhou entered the house, he directly ignored Shen Xi, walked to the bathtub, and asked with a smile, "Baby, have you washed it?" ”

Lin Dai nodded, looking at Zhou's eyes with a slight look of dependence.

"Then get up quickly, my mother bought you new clothes, you see if it fits, if it doesn't work, my mother will change it for you." Zhou said kindly.

Because she was watched by Shen Xi, Lin Dai blushed and refused to come out of the bathtub. Seeing that Lin Dai was shy, Zhou turned his head and glared at Shen Xi, and scolded: "Little rabbit, turn your head, aren't you afraid of a long needle?" ”

Shen Xi lamented boringly, and could only turn around honestly.
