Widow Xie heard that the homeless man's plaster had been removed, and rushed to Ji's house to inquire about the situation.

Hearing Ji say that he couldn't leave for the time being, he was a little embarrassed.

"He is really a rich injury, it is difficult to heal, and it takes time to raise."

Ji knew that she was looking forward to the homeless man leaving, but she was also afraid that the homeless man would cause trouble for her gossip.

"Anyway, it's already in charge, and you can't leave it halfway, don't you say?"

"What else can I say no?"

Widow Xie sighed, and was about to leave, slapping her thigh.

"Ji Laosi came back two days ago, don't you know?"

Ji Laosi is back?

That Song, is he also back?

Ji was shocked by his first reaction, but his face was not obvious.

"It was said that the show was about to take the exam, and the county and the town were given a holiday. Don't you know that Kang Pozi is rampant, and he went to the entrance of the village with a large family in advance to wait, and the battle, those who don't know think that his son crossed the golden body! That's picking up my son, I don't think it's like picking up Xiucai, it's more like inviting the Bodhisattva back! ”

Widow Xie was about to bury Ji Laosi again and fail the exam, but remembered what Ji said before, and changed her tone again.

"I cursed him to get in early! It's better to take all his chickens, ducks and dogs to the sky! They left Dafeng Village, regardless of whether they were promoted or rich, we at least settled clean. ”

Ji Ren smiled, one person got the Taoist chicken dog to ascend to heaven, and it was quite fresh to put it another way.

After Widow Xie left, Ji found a needle and thread and bound a stack of paper written by Dabao into a book.

was sewing, and several children of the Hu family came to play.

Hu Dacheng took Xiao An Xiaohua to the backyard to find A, B, C, and D, and Hu Ximei sat next to her with a stool, looking at her with her cheeks back. Or rather, looking at the inked paper in her hand.

"Miss." She suddenly spoke, "Can I continue to learn to write with you?" ”

Last year, when Ji Gang taught Dabao to practice calligraphy, Hu Dacheng and Hu Ximei had a lively time for a while.

Ji felt that one was teaching and the other was teaching anyway, so they both taught together.

But it didn't last a few days, Hu Dacheng began to slip away, and Hu Ximei also felt that writing was more difficult than embroidery, so she went back to learn her embroidery.

"Why do you suddenly want to study again?" Ji pulled a knot, bit off the thread with his teeth, and looked up to ask her.

"I ......" Hu Ximei hesitated for a while before she mustered up the courage to confess to Ji.

"I used to learn embroidery because everyone said that a girl who can't do needlework can't marry when she's older. My mother was also afraid that my daughter would not be popular and would not be valued by her in-laws in the future, so she asked me to learn to make clothes and shoes...... But I don't want to study now. ”

"Why don't you want to learn?"

"Because ......," Hu Ximei looked down at her toes, "I don't want to get married." ”

"Do you really don't want to get married, or are you afraid that you won't be able to get married?"

Ji's questioning was sharp and straightforward.

"Miss, I, I'm ......"

Hu Ximei endured and endured, and her tears still fell down.

Ji sighed.

"Little sister, that incident is in the past, it's the fault of those bad people, it's not your fault, you shouldn't punish yourself for other people's faults. On the contrary, the more others want to bully you, the more you have to live well and live better than anyone else. ”

"However, I heard people in the village talking about ......"

Recently, except for occasional visits, Hu Ximei has been hiding at home most of the time and not going anywhere.

Yesterday, I went to deliver something to my neighbor, and on the way, I met a few girls of the same age who were frowning and looking very strange.

Hu Ximei quickened her pace and turned the corner, but the ghost made her stop.

In fact, those people only vaguely heard some rumors, saying that the reason for the Hu family's divorce was not simple, and some people saw the matchmaker enter the Hu family, guessing that they were going to engage Hu Ximei, but in the end, they didn't do it.

"What does it mean? It shows that people don't like it! ”

"Her mother is a widow, and now that her family business has been lost, no one wants her!"

"Alas, she's so miserable, she won't be able to marry in the future, won't she be an old aunt?"

"What's more, her two brothers also have to beat the singles......"

Several little sisters got together and chatted happily, and they didn't know how much of a blow it had caused to Hu Ximei.

Although their speculations are different from the facts, some of them are not unreasonable......

"There's a ghost!" Ji raised his hand and knocked on her, "Let me ask you, your mother is a widow, do you feel ashamed?" ”

Hu Ximei wiped her tears and shook her head without hesitation.

"Let me ask you again, is it someone else's fault or your family's fault that someone else hurts your family?"

Hu Ximei paused, and said slowly but firmly: "We're not wrong. ”

"Wouldn't that be good?"

Ji stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair, breaking the truth and telling her the truth.

"Little sister, I can teach you to read and write, as long as you are willing to learn, study hard, and learn these things for reason and not escape.

You can also continue to learn tailoring and embroidery, as long as you like it, you feel that you can use it, not for what to marry or what your in-laws value.

You're still young, so you don't need to think about marriage at this stage.

Don't be angry and say anything about not marrying again, treat it with a normal heart.

When you really grow up, have a smart mind, and have skills to rely on, you will find that marrying or not may not be so important.

Well...... Of course, in the current environment, it may be more difficult for girls not to get married.

But there's always no loss in becoming good.

At that time, there will be better people to match you.

That person doesn't care where you come from, and they don't care about the gossip. He doesn't care if you have a business at home, whether it's a day in the world, his eyes look at what he thinks in his heart, it's just you. ”

Hu Ximei listened in a daze, and unconsciously forgot to cry, and her eyes also had yearning.

"Really? As long as you become excellent, you will meet that person in the future? ”

"No, no, no." Ji shook his head, "You didn't become excellent just to meet that person, otherwise what's the difference between this and you learning embroidery just to find your in-laws?" ”

"That's ......" Hu Ximei scratched her head, very confused.

"You become good in order to meet a better version of yourself.

When you find that better you, you will be more confident and more calm.

You can tell what is good and what is evil, what should and what should not be.

You will know how to reject an unsuitable person, and you will also open your heart to a good relationship.

But you know in your heart that those are just embellishments.

The nourishment of your life comes from yourself. You are rooted in this world, and you rely on yourself. ”

Hu Ximei didn't seem to understand it, but she vaguely felt something.

"Miss, I see. I will read and learn from you because I want to be a useful person. I also don't give up embroidery because I love it. ”

After she finished clenching her fists, she was a little apprehensive: "Is this really possible?" Wouldn't it be too greedy? ”

Ji Xiao asked: "It's nothing to do with people, why not?" ”

"What, what do you mean?"

"It means that greed is greedy!"
