Chapter 180: Someone from My Mother's Family
Xia He sat at the door and rubbed his feet and looked at the gate, and his father and mother led his younger brother to appear.
"What do you see? Don't get up and open the door to your mother! Xia Shi looked at the stunned Xia He and shouted.
Although Xia He hates his mother's family very much, from the bottom of his heart, he still misses his father and mother and his younger brother.
I got up in a hurry, ignoring the pain in my feet, and quickly ran to the door to open the door.
"Daddy, come in!"
Daddy Xia He was wearing a homespun gown, walking towards the courtyard with his head down, and the Xia family behind him was wearing a very fashionable dress, a floral cheongsam was worn on the rich body, and the face was smeared with cheap official powder, and the gray hair on his head was neatly coiled behind his head.
Not to mention, if you don't know the identity of the Xia family, you really can't see what your family background is like.
Looking behind Xia's again, the younger brother was holding his mother's hand, timidly not daring to move forward, but there was a contrast between his clothes and his mother.
It is also a blue homespun gown, with a lean little body, which makes this little gown particularly fat and has big eyes.
Xia hurriedly pulled his son: "Son, call sister." ”
"Brother, come on, let my sister hug!" Xia He hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
The younger brother hid, shaking his head in horror and not letting Xia He hug him.
"You don't even recognize your sister, this kid!" Xia slapped his son on the back.
When he came to the house, Xia He asked his father and mother to sit on the edge of the kang.
Xiaobao, who was sitting on the kang, saw a stranger coming, and hurriedly opened his hand to let his mother hug him. Hiding in Xia He's arms, Xiaobao secretly looked at the three people who were sitting.
"Hurry up and call grandparents!" Xia He looked at Xiaobao with a smile.
"Oops! This child is so old, let grandma hug him! Xia got up unnaturally and reached out to hug Xiaobao.
Xiaobao avoided Xia and frowned at his mother.
The younger brother looked at Xiaobao with a curious curiosity that his sister still had such a young child at home.
"Daddy, sit down, I'll wash some fruit." Xia He remembered the few catties of apples he bought when he went to town a few days ago to buy materials for the factory.
When Xiaobao saw her mother go out, she hurriedly broke free from her grandmother's arms and went to chase her mother with her little short legs.
Xia, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, looked around the hut, frowned and said to the old man who bowed his head and said silently: "Why don't you change the furniture in this house when you are so rich?" ”
I got up and looked at it again: "This house should also be torn down and rebuilt." ”
"Be quiet." Xia Laohan said in a low voice.
Xia Shi glared, "You bear-like!" Can't you just sit with your back up? ”
Turning his head and looking at his son again, "Son, let's not learn from your dead father, my mother will lead you to the yard to have a look." ”
Xia Xiaobao stretched out his hand and grabbed his mother's hand, jumped on the ground, and walked out of the door with his mother.
In the yard, the workers were busy making factory equipment, and everyone looked up when they saw the family.
Xia He washed the apples and brought them to the house, and saw that only his father was still sitting on the edge of the kang with his head bowed, and asked, "Dad, where is my mother?" ”
"Ah, led your brother to the courtyard and said he wanted to see it." After speaking, Dad lowered his head and looked at his slender hand.
"Ah, Daddy, eat an apple." Xia He put an apple that was still dripping with water into his father's hand.
"I don't eat this." Daddy hurriedly put the apples on the plate again.
"Dad, what have you been up to lately? The crops are planted, right? ”
"Well, let your mother rent it to someone else to plant, I just came back from hiding from the debt."
"What? Do you still let someone else plant your family's land? Xia He asked, shaking his head.
Father's face turned red, and he said in a voice that Xia He could barely hear: "Farming needs silver to be thrown into the ground, and there is no silver at home to farm." ”
Xia He had to invest in farming for the first time, and it was understandable to say so in modern times, but in ancient times, farming really didn't need any money, and it was enough to have labor at home.
Daddy said this, Xia He couldn't say anything, he could only say simply, "You sit, I'll go outside to see my mother." ”
Xia He is really uncomfortable in his heart, how can his father's gambling habit be changed? I don't know how much debt my family owes.
Last time, when Xia He just moved out of Liu's house, he went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs and sold some silver, and when his mother heard about it, he sent his father to ask for it, but he couldn't give most of it to his father, I don't know if my mother came this time for her own money.
Thinking about his thoughts, Xia He led Xiaobao to the yard, and when he saw that his mother was not there, he went to the factory to find it.
In the factory, Xia looked at the neat equipment, the wide space, and the neat everything, and began to admire his daughter in his heart.
Turning his head to see Xia He coming in, he asked with a smile: "Dead girl, you are really good, how did you make such a big move?" ”
"Mother, this is what I have hoped for, and I want to work hard and change the living situation of my family."
Xia He looked around, looked at his younger brother again, and said, "Brother, is it good here?" ”
"Okay, everything is fine at my sister's house."
Xia He handed the apple in his hand to his younger brother.
"But, why didn't you see the little begging for food you picked up today? I'll just say, you can't raise her! The kind of wild children outside are of poor quality and difficult to raise! ”
Xiaobao heard her grandmother talk about her sister, and said in a milk voice: "My sister went to private school, don't speak ill of my sister!" ”
"Ah, this child, how can you talk to the old lady?" Xia Shi glanced at Xiaobao and shouted.
"Yes, mother, Wan'er went to a private school, ate at the library at noon, and came back in the evening."
"What? You girl, you haven't listened to your mother once, and you still sent her to private school for that wild child? ”
Xia asked Xia He loudly.
When the younger brother saw his mother like this, he sensibly pulled his mother and whispered, "Don't shout to my sister." ”
Xia Shi felt embarrassed, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "Girl, I don't mean anything else, look at how much you can cultivate and train your brother if you have spare money, you see that your brother hasn't gone to private school yet!" With that, Xia pushed his younger brother to Xia He.
The younger brother came to his sister, and Xiaobao stared at the thin uncle in front of him with wide eyes.
Xia He hurriedly squatted down, looked at his younger brother, looked at Xiaobao again, and pulled Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, this is your uncle, you call someone quickly." ”
Xiaobao had heard her mother say before that she still had a little uncle, and when I saw her today, she was still a little strange.
embarrassedly said, "Uncle," and then buried his head in his mother's arms.
Xia He hugged his younger brother and Xiaobao, and felt very sad.
The parents at home are really indescribable, so they made this younger brother like this.
"Xiaobao, take your uncle out to play." Xia He said.
Xiaobao agreed, pulled the little uncle out of the house, and went outside to play, Xia He also shouted worriedly: "Xiaobao, take care of the rhubarb, don't hurt the uncle." ”
"Got it, mother."
Watching his younger brother go out, Xia He looked at his envious mother and asked, "Mother, did Daddy just come back?" ”
"Hey, yes, isn't it, I didn't dare to stay at home when I came back."
"So what are you going to do in the future?" Xia He has a headache when he thinks about his mother's family.
