At the end of the seventh day of the first month, Xiao Ding accompanied Huzi, Heizi and Xiongxiang to bask in the sun in the backyard.

Xiao Ding is just fifteen years old this year, and he is very shy and diligent. Although he is two years older than Xia Li, in Xia Li's heart, he is still a half-grown child.

His family is a military household, his father died in the border pass in the early years, and he only entered the military camp last year. Ye Feng was sympathetic to his small size and clever people, so he asked him to take care of and train him with Ye Jin. Ye Jin is Ye Feng's personal soldier, and when Xiao Ding gets started, all the training matters will be handed over to him.

He watched Dangdang carefully, and when he saw that it was uncomfortable or impatient, he would crouch down and comfort it.

Ye Jin was instructing Xia Ju and Zhu Cai to shoot arrows. In order not to let the little guy be too maverick, Xia Li taught them the Mongolian archery method that was customary in this era. Since she is not very proficient in this kind of shooting, she will occasionally ask Ye Jin to help train them.

When Shen, Xia Laohan, Erhu and Rhubarb came.

Xia Li guessed that the old man should have asked Ye Jin and Xiaoding to go to his house tomorrow to eat pig-killing vegetables in order to help Xia Shan have a good relationship.

Xia Li made an introduction, and Old Man Xia nodded to Ye Jin and smiled, "Thank you Uncle Jin for promoting Shanzi." ”

I also learned the official dialect of the south and the north.

Ye Jin's face was flushed, and he hurriedly bowed down and smiled, "Uncle Xia is polite." I am a subordinate, and it is my uncle who promoted Brother Xia. ”

Old man Xia hurriedly smiled again, "Shanzi can be an official, and he can't do without Uncle Jin's help and teaching. ”

Ye Jin said again, "Be polite, don't dare to be, Uncle Xia is an elder, just call me Ye Jin." ”

Ye Jin, these people can see the height of people's eyebrows and eyes the most. In his opinion, with the uncle's attention to Miss Xia, Xia Shan's future will definitely not be wrong, and he will no longer be as conscious as he was before in front of Xia Shan. In front of Little Miss Xia, she would not let her elders be too humble.

He pointed to the chair he was sitting in before and said, "Sir, please take a seat." ”

Xia Laohan was very happy that Uncle Jin treated him politely, and felt that the more sympathetic people were to him, the more he should treat others with courtesy. Isn't there an old saying, if you respect me, I respect you.

He bowed down again and said, "Uncle Jin is polite, you are a distinguished guest, you sit, you sit." ”

Xia Li has always been reluctant to let Xia Laohan see these people, because he is afraid that he will not be able to grasp the proportions and be too humble and flattering, which will not only embarrass and look down on others, but also embarrass Xia Shan.

She went over to help Xia Laohan and said, "Grandpa sit, I'll move a chair again." ”

Xia Laohan also wanted to educate Xia Li that he didn't understand the rules, how could he snub the distinguished guests, and Xiao Ding had already moved a chair over with great insight.

The guest and host sat down, and after Xia Laohan said a few more diplomatic words, he sincerely invited, "Tomorrow, my family will kill the New Year's pig, please enjoy the light." Hehe, country people, killing pigs is also a grand event. Oh, Xiao Ding will go too. ”

The old man is quite shrewd, and he knows that Xiao Ding is a big soldier, and he will not go down the low stake with him.

Ye Jin accepted the invitation very happily. The days here are too peaceful and monotonous, and he also wants to go out and have fun and see the excitement of killing New Year's pigs in the countryside.

Xiao Ding saw that Ye Jin agreed, so he agreed.

The old man had no intention of leaving, but wanted to stay here to have dinner with the distinguished guests. Xia Li asked Erhu to go to the west of the village to call Xia Zhu to accompany the guests and have dinner, and her family bought the meat that was not sold. Go back to Xia's house to spread a word, and when Xia Tie comes home from the town, he will come to his sister's house to accompany the guests to dinner. It's not good to call Xia Zhu and not Xia Tie. I also asked Zhu Er's family to go to Jitou Village to sell a few catties of wine and come back, where there is a small brewing workshop.

Xia Zhu is bold, and he sells meat for business, and he will also talk about some scenes. As soon as he came, the atmosphere was not as awkward as it was just now.

When Xia Tie came, he also brought the three leopards. Several of their men drank and ate in the west wing, and Xia's Xia Li led a few children to eat in the upper room.

After the meal, seeing off Ye Jin and the others, Xia Li whispered to Xia Zhu, who was walking behind, "Go back and remind my grandfather, sometimes if you are too humble, the guests will be uncomfortable......"

Xia Zhu knew what his father was and said, "I will remind him, but he may not be able to listen to him." Fortunately, Uncle Xia's family will be invited tomorrow, and he will help entertain the guests. ”

Master Xia Si wanted to come as a guest, but he solved this trouble.

The next day, after Ye Jin and Xiao Ding came to the house to play with Dangdang for a while, they went to Xia's house with Xia and Xia Ju first. Xia Li doesn't like to watch the pig killed, so he will go before dinner.

Xia Li stayed at home until two o'clock in the afternoon before getting up to go to Xia's house. Before he reached the door of Xia's house, he saw five or six adults leading three children out of Xia's house, and two boys of eight or nine years old wiped their tears, one had several blood marks on his face, and the other had blood stains under his nose. Several people were angry, and their mouths were still dry and scolding.

"I am the ancestor of the day, so there is no XX good person in the old Xia family......"

"The old lady doesn't care about her mother's family, and if she dares to go back to Xia's house in the future, she will be kicked out......"

"Don't play with a few X babies in the future......"

Xia Li knew them, and they were members of the Lao Yang family, that is, the maiden family of Mrs. Xia and Xiao Yang's family.

When they saw Xia Li, they all glared at her with their eyes, and one of them spat on the ground. Xia Li didn't want to reason with them, and they vomited on the ground, but they didn't vomit on her. However, it's time for dinner, so how did they go? It seems that he fought with Lao Xia's family or was driven away.

Xia Li has always hated the Yang family, and when he saw them being driven away, he gloated.

She entered the yard and heard the people in the yard talking, all of them scolding the old Yang family for being shameless and ugly. Ju Boy was the son of the Xia family, and he was still angry about his old Yang family's money, and he bullied others with his children......

Xia Li was stunned, Xia Ju was bullied?

Dani hurriedly stepped forward and took Xia Li's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Cousin Ju is fine." Big Bear, Erhu, and Sanbao beat the two boys of the Yang family, and my father, and my second uncle all helped my cousin Ju talk, and drove their family away......"

Xia Li hurriedly went to the main house, which was full of people, including Ye Jin and Xiao Ding. Xia Ju was sitting on Xia Laohan's lap, Erhu was sitting on his grandfather, Daxiong and Sanbao were standing crampedly aside, and the corners of Sanbao's eyes were blue.

When Xia Ju saw his sister coming, he slid down Xia Laohan's knee to pull Xia Li's sleeve, and Xia Li picked him up again.

Xia Laohan said, "Don't panic away from the girl, the boy didn't suffer, but the three leopards were beaten hard." ”

Erhu came over and pulled Xia Li's sleeve and said, "Yang Sanwa and Yang Wuwa bullied Brother Ju, and I went to help him, but the two of us still couldn't beat them, and we were beaten up a lot." Fortunately, the eldest brother and the three leopards saw it and came to help, and beat them enough that Yang Wuwa's nose was bloody......"
