Chapter 322: A Burglar in the House?
A flash of dissatisfaction flashed in Xing Da's eyes: "My mother is so old, isn't it a waste to give this meat to my mother?" ”
The young man ignored him, and took a large chopstick dish, sandwiched it into the old woman's steamed bun, and then began to eat.
Xing obviously saw this scene as well, lowered his eyelids, ate silently, and didn't say anything.
Xu was caused by this sudden accident, she didn't eat much at noon, and she looked like she had something on her mind and her appetite was not very good.
Ye Hao saw her mother's gaze from time to time, put down her chopsticks, and pretended to have eaten: "Mother, it's nothing, I'll go back first?" ”
"Wait, my mother just has something to tell you."
Xing Shi pulled his daughter aside and whispered to her: "Zhen'er, you go home and bring the new pair of shoes that your mother made for your brother a few days ago." ”
Seeing her daughter's puzzled gaze, she looked away unnaturally: "Your third uncle's shoes are torn, I'm afraid he won't be able to walk when he goes back, so go quickly." ”
At the end of the sentence, she urged again.
"Good!" Ye Hao nodded in response, turned around and walked quickly.
Although Ye Xing didn't eat dinner at this time, when she saw her sister leaving, she immediately put down her chopsticks and followed: "Sister, sister, wait for me, I'll be with you!" ”
On the way back, Ye Xing was puzzled and asked, "Sister, are those people from my grandfather's family?" ”
"Why haven't you heard my mother mention it before? What a coincidence, our house was just about to be built, and they came? ”
Ye Hao lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "If my mother doesn't take the initiative to mention it, don't remember to ask about it." ”
"Oh, good." Although Ye Xing didn't understand in her heart, she must listen to her sister's words.
When she went home and entered the house, Ye Hao opened the box and was about to look for shoes, when her movements suddenly stopped, something seemed to be wrong?
She raised her head and swept her gaze around the room, pausing to focus on the few places where her mother usually hid her money.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Ye Xing next to him asked suspiciously.
Ye Hao frowned: "It seems that someone has been here in the house." ”
"What? Sister, you mean, there is a thief in our house? Ye Xing's eyes widened.
"It doesn't have to be a thief." Ye Hao said casually, turned her head and flipped through the box, and took out the box hidden at the bottom of the box, which contained a silver bracelet.
I took a closer look at the lock on it and found that there was nothing wrong, so I was relieved.
All the silver left in the house was in her hands, and she kept it in her space, and used it, including the newly obtained silver from selling the "golden hairpin".
The only valuables I have at home now are the silver bracelet and two golden hairpins in this wooden box, and it seems that I have to talk to my mother tonight.
"Sister, who will enter our house?" Ye Xing glanced in the direction where her eldest aunt and grandmother were, and leaned over to her and asked.
The look on Ye Hao's face was faint: "It's just those people on the left and right." ”
In broad daylight, there are people in the big house and the main house, and outsiders may come in to steal, but it is very small, and she and her sister are often still in the house.
Only every morning, noon and afternoon, I would go to the homestead once a day, either to bring water, or to eat together.
Who else can enter the house in a short time, turn it all over again, and then have enough time to put everything back in its place?
It can only be in the courtyard, and the person who can pay close attention to their movements and know when they will leave has this opportunity.
Ye Xing pursed her lips, the look on her face was very unhappy, and she took the initiative to say, "Sister, then I'll stay in the house for the next two days, and I'll talk about it when I move to a new house." ”
"Okay, in the future, our family will take turns to go out, and at least one person in the family must be left behind." Ye Hao nodded
As she spoke, she also found her shoes, and before she took them out of the house, she told her sister uneasily: "You are in the house, close the door to death, and I will be back in a while." ”
"Okay." Ye Xing nodded in response.
...............
When Ye Hao came to the homestead again, the old woman had already finished eating and was sitting there resting.
When Xing saw her, he immediately stood up from the stool: "Found it?" ”
"Hmm." Ye Hao hummed and handed over the shoes.
Xing Shi took the shoes, turned his head and beckoned to the young man: "San'er, come here!" ”
"Eldest sister, it's not too early at this hour, we're going back, it's far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if it's not early." The boy trotted over and said to her with a smile.
"Try these shoes, I estimate that you are about the same size as my Erlang's feet, you should be able to wear these shoes!" Xing handed him the shoes.
The young man hurriedly shook his hand: "Sister, no need, no need, let's leave it to my nephew to wear, I can still wear these shoes." ”
"What can you wear, look at your shoes, how many holes are broken in front of them? Don't grind, put it on, put it on, and go back. ”
Xing Shi didn't allow his brother to refuse, pressed him on the stool, and was about to take off his shoes as he spoke.
"Sister, I'll come, I'll come by myself!"
Where is the young man willing to let his sister do it, but he can't shirk it, so he can only quickly put on his shoes.
stood up and walked a few steps cautiously, turned his head and grinned at her: "Sister, it's just right, it's very suitable." ”
"Suitable, indeed suitable....."
As she spoke, Xing's tears suddenly fell, and she hurriedly wiped them away with her sleeve, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.
Calculate the time, San'er is eighteen years old today, but look at that appearance, he is a little taller than Erlang, and he can wear Erlang's shoes.
It can be seen that for so many years, he has never had a good life or eaten any good things.
Her appearance was still seen by the boy: "Sister, don't cry, don't cry." ”
"San'er, I didn't expect you to remember the eldest sister, when I left, you were still so young, I thought you couldn't remember." Xing Shi looked at the young man's gaze and missed it very much.
When the third brother was born, his mother's health was not good, she worked hard to raise him until he was four years old, and his younger brother was the most clingy to him before, and the first word he shouted was not his mother, but his sister.
She thought she could accompany her brother for a few more years, but she didn't expect it......
The smile on the young man's face receded, and his expression was in a trance: "I heard my mother say, when you left, I cried for a long time, but I can't remember." ”
"I just remember that I have a sister who has taken care of me since I was a child and has been very good to me, and then I asked my sister where you have been, and my mother said that you are married."
"The place where I got married is far away, if I had known that the place where my sister was married was here, I would have come to see my sister early in the morning!"
"Marry? That's what she said? When he asked this, Xing's gaze was a little cold when he looked at the first few people in front of him.
Xing San nodded, with a hint of doubt on his face: "Yes, sister, isn't it?" ”
Xing Shi looked up at the sky: "It's okay if you don't know about this, it's not early, go back, be careful on the road, and if you miss your sister in the future, you will come to see your sister more." ”
