Xia Li looked at Xia Erni's clothes with patches, as well as the two faded headbands on her buns, and she was really moved. A few days ago, she came to Xia Li and asked for five yuan, which turned out to be doing this.

In the past year, Xia Erni has saved seventy-eight yuan from Xia Li, and only came to ask for the five yuan a few days ago. This money is mainly given secretly by Xia Shan, as well as the fifty red envelopes that Xia quietly gave her during the New Year. Other elders also gave her five or ten wen for the New Year, because in the bright side, they were all asked to leave by Xiao Yang.

How did the confused Xia Tie and the greedy Xiao Yang give birth to such a daughter. Clever than the big bear, more hearty than the three leopards.

Xia Li smiled and said, "It's very beautiful, I like it very much." Thank you Erni. He whispered to her again, "I'm going to live in Fucheng in a few days, and I can't bring your money over, in case you want to use it, it's inconvenient, you can see who will keep it." ”

Xia Erni whispered without thinking, "It's safest to put it away from my sister, I don't need the money now." I'm saving slowly, saving more. When my mother wants to marry me to the bastard of the old Yang family, or the person who wants to be a bad person, I will secretly go to Fucheng to find the third uncle and rent a house by myself. Even if I marry a military master who has no money, or wait for the official media to match, I will admit it. ”

Xia Li also knew that Lao Yang's family had a stammer, he was not good at speaking, he was a little stupid, and he loved to beat people. exclaimed, "Your mother is going to marry you to that person?" Are you her own daughter, and your heart is too bad. ”

Xia Erni sniffed and whispered, "I heard my grandmother whisper to my mother, saying that I am strong and capable, and wants me to marry back to the Yang family." My mother thinks they don't give much money, so she doesn't want to. If you give too much money, it won't be necessarily. ”

Xia Li said, "I asked my mother and third uncle to talk to my grandfather, eldest uncle, and second uncle, and I must not agree to this family matter, the old Yang family is not proper, that person stops stammering, and loves to beat people." ”

Tears welled up in Xia Erni's eyes, and she said, "If it were my two younger brothers, my lord would definitely help." But I, if I have a lot of money, I won't necessarily help. As for the eldest uncle and the third uncle," she shook her head, "they don't care too much about the other room, and my father and mother won't listen." ”

Xia Likuan explained, "The old Yang family will not be willing to pay more money. ”

Xia Erni said angrily, "But there are other fools, other fools." I still remember what my sister said about the three leopards, it is better to rely on others than on yourself. ”

Xia Liji sympathized with her and promised, "Okay, then I'll help you keep it." If you don't have enough money, I'll add it for you. ”

Xia Meiniang's unfortunate experience made the honest little girl begin to leave a way out for herself. Such a child, she is willing to help.

Xia Erni said "thank you" and went to the front yard first. Her mother hated Xia Li, and she didn't dare to be too close to Xia Li.

The two old men, their two sons, and Xiaoding sat under the eaves drinking tea and chatting, and Da Xiong was helping to repair the tin stove. Li and Dani entered the kitchen and were persuaded by Xia to go out, and the two watched Xia's half-embroidered flower bandage study. Xia Erni sat next to the big bear in a daze, and occasionally took a hand. Xia Ju, Erhu, and Sanbao were teasing the golden chickens and bears in the east courtyard, and the laughter spread here.

Only Xiao Yang wandered around the yard idly, and when he walked out of the window, he would look in, his eyes full of envy and indignation.

The yard is neat and clean, and the flowers and plants are flourishing, making this small courtyard with green walls and tiles and bluestone paved roads more unique and elegant in the countryside.

Xiao Yang's family is still angry that such a beautiful courtyard cheapens outsiders, and does not let his son inherit it.

Seeing her unflattened appearance, Xia Li not only had an itchy mouth, but also an itchy hand. frowned and said, "Second uncle, please sit over there." If you are dangling like this, and when my belongings see it, you will break free of the rope and run over and bite someone. ”

Xiao Yang was frightened by Dangdang, glared at Xia Li, and obediently sat under the eaves of the west wing, which was farthest away from the east courtyard.

Xia Li went into the house and took out four juan flowers sent by Zeng Qingqing. The light-colored petals, decorated with a small crystal, are very delicate and beautiful. With such a bright flower, Xiao Yang can't wear it.

She smiled, "This is given to me by Miss Zeng in the provincial capital, two for Dani and Erni each." ”

Li smiled and said, "Ah, such beautiful flowers, keep them to wear when they are brides." ”

Xia Shi came out of the kitchen, she wanted to say that they had more beautiful flowers to wear when they were brides.

After thinking about it, he changed his expression, "No, if you can wear such a beautiful flower to get married, you won't be envied by many people." Then he said to Mrs. Xia, "Mother help Erni take care of it, don't be asked by other family members." When Erni gets married, she will have to buy another one. Don't sell it cheaply, this is from the provincial treasure embroidery workshop, it's a pity to sell cheaply. ”

Mrs. Xia doesn't pay attention to her granddaughter, but she gives her granddaughter's good things to other granddaughters, and her granddaughters pay extra money to buy them, and she won't do this loss-making business. said, "Second daughter-in-law, don't hear me, don't be stupid, I was coaxed by your mother to wear it to her granddaughter." He added, "You are not allowed to sell it cheaply, this is from the big embroidery workshop in the provincial capital." ”

Xiao Yang rolled his eyelids and said, "Mother-in-law, I'm not a fool. ”

Xia Laohan snorted coldly, "No fool would say that he is stupid." He added, "I warn you, you are not allowed to take Erni's things to give favors, let alone take them out for food." If not, see how I clean you up. ”

It's time to eat, Xiao Ding said goodbye, he didn't like a few people in the Xia family. The Xia family and Xia Laohan didn't keep it, so they left it to him. Xiao Ding is not Ye Jin, and Xia Laohan is not as stubborn as Ye Jin to him.

Dinner was divided into two tables, the old couple with their two sons, Xiong Hubao, Xia Ju, Xiaoding one table, and other women one table. The wine pipe is enough to drink, and the meat pipe is enough to eat.

Except for Xiao Yang's and the three leopards' eating appearances, and Xiao Yang's sour words from time to time, everything else is good.

Xia also told Xia Laohan that their family would go to Xiangshan Mansion City to live temporarily in a few days. It's hard to say the real purpose of going there, just say that one of Lord Ye's elders will go from the capital to Xiangshan Mansion in a few days, Lord Ye wants to be filial piety, and asks Xia to leave to cook for his elders for a few days, so that his old man will be happy and happy.

Xia Shi was not worried that Xia would leave alone, so he had to take Xia Ju with him. If Zhu Er encounters any problems, ask them to help.

When Xia Laohan heard that Ye Feng asked them to cook, his eyes lit up with joy, and he said again and again, "Okay, good, if you tie up Lord Ye's elders, Shanzi's future will be even greater." Do a good job away from the girl, your grandfather remembers. ”

Mrs. Xia was also happy, and she beat the boss with a haha sound. Then he asked in a low voice, "Do you want to let the pillars or iron come to your house to help watch the house?" Then Zhu Er is an outsider, I'm afraid that he will see that there is no one in your house and steal things. ”
