Chapter 22: Motherhood

Squatting in the corner of the wall, Xia Yuanding had never done it before, and this time he happened to encounter it, he had no experience, so he could only try to crawl down, like a warrior. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Xiu'er, I miss you!"

"Brother An, me too!"

It's really numb, Xia Yuanding can't get used to those who show affection, and when he comes up, he hears these words, can his wish to step on spring still come true!

Brother An said: "Xiu'er, I really can't wait! ”

Xiu'er soothed: "Brother An, you just wait, after next year we will be justified!" ”

What can't wait, what waits, this aroused Xia Yuanding's interest, and he decided to listen carefully.

Brother An said impatiently: "But I've been waiting for you for so long, I'm afraid that my family will force me to marry a wife, and you also know that my father and mother have found a matchmaker." You said that Tian Er has been dead for so long, why do you have to keep filial piety for him for three years, what do you make me think! ”

Xia Yuanding understood, this Xiu'er seemed to be Tian Er's wife, but Tian Er had been dead for a while, so wouldn't she be in ...... with this Brother An

Now that he has bumped into him, if he is discovered, will there be a good end, Xia Yuanding didn't dare to think about it and began to hold his breath.

Xiu'er said in a low voice: "How about you wait for me, when you marry me, I will do whatever you want from me, I am looking for you this time to tell you, I am already pregnant with your flesh and blood, I don't know what to do now......"

Brother An was surprised and said: "How can this be, why didn't you tell me earlier, I went to your place two months ago, how could it be so coincidental!"

Before leaving, Xia Yuanding heard such an explosive message again, which frightened him into a hurry. The widow who passed the door had a child with someone else, which according to the village rules, was to be immersed in the pig cage, and it was just thrown away without the consent of the government.

This Xiu'er and Brother An, who are they, Xia Yuanding doesn't know him, he can't be blamed, how can a child casually ask the name of an adult.

He decided to go back and knock on his mother's side to inquire about this Brother An and Xiu'er, he knew that this matter could not contain the fire, and sooner or later people would know, but there was a storm to be staged at that time, but I don't know what kind of ending it would end in.

Expose them now, Xia Yuanding can't do it, he still tries to keep his mouth shut, give him time to think, although he can't do anything big as a child, but as long as he has a dream in his heart, maybe it can really be done.

After entering the house, Xia Li asked in surprise: "Ding'er is back so soon, tell my mother about it!" ”

Xia Yuanding said in a sullen voice: "Mother, I'll go back to the house to practice calligraphy first!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for a reply, he ran back to his room.

"Mother, my brother must have something on his mind!" Xia Yingxue said fixedly.

"Yuan Ding is so small, what is on your mind, I think you just have a lot of thoughts all day long, and you will definitely be a woman in the future!" Xia Li said.

Xia Yingxue weakly counterattacked: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense! ”

"Don't let my mother say it yet, look at what you show, is the eye of the needle wrong?"

Xia Yingxue said in a somewhat messy tone: "Oh, it's really wrong, stinky Yuanding, it's all him, it's all my waste of time!" ”

At this time, Xia Yuanding, who was really reading in the house, felt a little uncomfortable, it couldn't be that someone said bad things about him!

Of course, someone said bad things, but he was uncomfortable because of climbing the mountain, and he sweated when the wind blew, so of course he was uncomfortable.

"Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered, the wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows again."

On the white paper, Xia Yuanding wrote four lines of poetry, and then nodded with satisfaction, now his calligraphy is a bit like a face.

Of course, don't think he's bragging, after all, no one except him knows what Yan Muscle and Liu Gu are, and as for when Xia Tizi was born, he himself doesn't know.

When she was about to write the last four sentences, Xia Yingxue came over quietly.

"What is written, show me!" As she spoke, she stuck her head over to see what the words were.

"That's not going to work!" Xia Yuanding hurriedly used his body to block the words he wrote, he had already leaked the poem once, and the responsibility was put on his grandfather, this time it couldn't be like this.

"Don't let me read it, isn't what you wrote still unspeakable, I want to read it!" Xia Yingxue was about to go up and pull her brother's hand, but Xia Yuanding naturally pressed it to death, and the two were deadlocked.

Xia Yuanding compromised and said: "If you don't watch it, how about I tell you the story, you can listen to whatever you want, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Story of the West Chamber", "The Peony Pavilion" ......"

"You've told all these stories, I don't listen, you tell me something else!" Xia Yingxue pouted and said.

"Let me think!" Xia Yuanding desperately turned over the material in his stomach, how could he make up one, fortunately he was knowledgeable, he really thought of one, and said with a sigh of relief: "With it, you have never heard of this, but you have to go out first!" ”

Grinding, there were two stools in the small courtyard, Xia Yingxue had already sat down, and when she saw her brother finally coming out, she couldn't help but say, "Why don't you hurry up!" ”

Xia Yuanding thought to himself, even if he can't pass the Xiucai exam in the future, he won't starve to death, at least he can be a storyteller, sorted out his thoughts, and said with emotion: "There is a scholar surnamed Wang who went to Beijing to take the exam, and passed by a place during the Lantern Festival, and there was a large family hanging lanterns to recruit relatives. Shanglian said: 'The lights are gone, the lights are gone, and the lights are turned off and the horses stop. This scholar surnamed Wang couldn't answer what he thought, so he could only keep this couplet in his heart. ”

"This reader is stupid!" Xia Yingxue said, it seems that she doesn't know the height of the sky.

"After arriving in the capital, I took the exam, and I didn't expect the examiner to also make a couplet, which was: 'Flying Tiger Flag, Flying Tiger Flag, Flying Tiger Flag Rolling Tiger Hide.' This scholar wrote to answer the questions of recruiting relatives, and was appreciated by the examiner and won the middle jinshi. When Yijin returned to his hometown, he found that no one could answer the trick, and he answered it with the exam questions, and he got a beautiful daughter-in-law. After the story was told, Xia Yuanding only had envy.

Xia Yingxue doubted: "How can there be such a coincidence, it can't be made up!" ”

Xia Yuanding didn't answer, because the truth he knew was just fiction here, "The coincidental couplet is a double happiness song, and the horse lantern flying tiger knots the silk luo", I don't know if it will be pasted with double happiness when I get married here.

"Believe it or not, I read this from a book!" How to say that Xia Yuanding is also an intellectual, and occasionally loses his temper.

The next moment, Xia Yuanding didn't dare to stay longer, he knew that with his sister's character, he had to ask which book he saw it from, could he bring it over for me to see, I don't know if whoever marries her in the future will also suffer this kind of mental torture.

Anyway, his mood on this day can be imagined, it is not good, because no matter where he goes, he can always meet the one who shows affection, although the pair on the mountain is a little less glorious.

After sitting down, before he had time to think carefully, Xia Yuanding found a sad thing, the new shoes on his feet actually opened, the opening was very small, and it was on the side, and it was really difficult to find if he didn't stop.

His mother had just made these shoes for him not long ago, but he didn't expect them to be sewn so quickly. Counting his fingers, he now has a total of three pairs of shoes, the other two are old, and one pair of shoes was worn by his sister and changed to him to wear. But no matter whether it is old or new, the soles are all sewn by the mother, and the uppers are sewn by the mother little by little.

Seeing that many children in the village are still wearing straw sandals, it is really lucky to have cloth shoes to wear!

Now, only let Niang sew the opened opening again, and Xia Yuanding also decided to run around less in the future.

Sometimes it's not so good to be a younger brother, at least you have to wear your sister's old clothes, although this is a very common phenomenon in Dushan Village, but Xia Yuanding feels a little awkward and is prone to inferiority.

Xia Yuanding considered the problem from the perspective of a child, but ignored the current situation, every family is like this, why not say inferiority. At this time, there is a problem that is easy to explain, that is, the color of the clothes worn by rural people is monotonous, which can be easily replaced.

"Mother, the shoes are torn!" Xia Yuanding ran to Xia Li and said.

"Where is it broken, take off your shoes and show your mother!" Xia Li didn't think there was any fuss, and chatted with the neighbors, but other people's children often broke their shoes.

Xia Yuanding sat on the stool, took off his shoes obediently, and handed them to his mother.

"Fortunately, it's just a little seam, you wait, my mother will sew it for you right away, and you can wear it after a while!" Xia Li picked up the needle and thread and began to sew the shoes.

Hearing this, Xia Yuanding calmed down, quietly watched his mother sew the shoes little by little, and after a while, the shoes were as good as ever, seeing his mother's serious appearance, Xia Yuanding felt that this scene was very warm, and involuntarily popped out of his mind "Whoever says an inch of grass will be rewarded with three Chunhui".

In the future, you must be filial to your mother, Xia Yuanding warned himself in his heart.
