The Xia family will continue to stay and help clean up, and Xia Li will lead Xia Ju to go first. Before leaving, she also told Xia Shan that before he returned to the camp tomorrow, she would go to her house, and she would send a few potatoes to Liu Gongzi to thank him for his kindness.

Xia Shan had already heard that Xia Li had really planted the potato, and said with a smile, "Lili is capable." Well, I'll come to your house at the beginning of tomorrow to fetch it. ”

Xia Laohan personally took half a braised duck to Xia Li, and said, "Leave the girl, your uncle has today, you have made great contributions, we all thank you." Don't be angry with your grandmother, the old woman still cares about your mother and you, that is, she has small eyes and loves money. In the future, I will control her, and she will not be allowed to stretch out her hand to take care of your family's affairs. ”

It was as if he hadn't reached out.

Xia Li smiled, "Okay, I remember my grandfather's words." ”

When the sister and brother returned home, Xia Li wore gloves and took a small hoe to dig potatoes in the backyard. At this time, the potatoes should grow relatively large, and they can be harvested in about ten days.

Hearing that his sister was digging potato, Xia Ju didn't want to go back to the house to sleep, so he even ran out to guard Dangdang and Xiong Xiang.

Xia Li dug up fourteen large potatoes and covered the remaining potatoes and roots with soil. The potatoes were about the size of her little fist, perhaps due to the weather, and the potatoes that were produced this season were not as big as in other seasons. Four made mashed potatoes for the little ones, and ten brought them to Liu Changzhao, and Ye Feng gave them to eat.

As soon as he saw the round sweet potato, the bear was so hungry that he couldn't walk, and he was dragged all the way to the kitchen by Xia Li, holding Xia Li's legs. Dangdang was drooling all the way, and Xia Ju's saliva was surprisingly loud.

Seeing these little guys behaving like this, Xia Li really couldn't cry or laugh.

After making the mashed potatoes, Xia Ju and Xiong Xiang each got three spoonfuls, and the rest was all deserved.

Xia Ju knew that Dangdang surprisingly liked to eat taro paste, so he naturally wouldn't fight. But the bear was reluctant, and pointed at his small bowl with his little fat palm, and then pointed to the big bowl when it was dang, and snorted his nose.

Xia Li asked, "When you eat sugar candy, should you fight with you?" ”

The bear shook his head, and reluctantly lowered his head and took a small bite.

This bear in her family, despite being young and timid, is a veritable little black bear spirit.

Xia Li returned to the house and took out a pen and paper to write a recipe for making yakura.

The first recipe is roasted beef or pork ribs with potato, which must be simmered for no more than a quarter of an hour. The taro is stewed without taro, and it becomes a paste after a long time.

The second recipe is stir-fried shredded custard, this dish must be washed and soaked twice in water, and it is crispy when it is fried without starch.

The third recipe was barbecue potato, and she tore it halfway through. Forget it, when Ye Feng comes to the house, she will make this dish herself.

Thinking of Ye Feng, who was thin and cold, wearing ancient clothes and wearing a crown of beads, Xia Li thought of another figure, mature, capable, handsome, with a neat "board inch", looking at a serious but warm gaze...... All he has makes her unable to take her eyes off the past and makes her full of tenderness......

The sound of playing outside interrupted Xia Li's contemplation, and the little ones who had eaten mashed potatoes made a fuss in the yard again.

In the evening, Xia came back and said, "It's good that you didn't stay, it's messy." Shanzi wants to marry a girl from the Li family, but your grandmother is unwilling, saying that the Li family is poor and sour, only ten acres of land, and the private school earns at most ten taels of silver a year, and she has to provide a son who takes the imperial examination, and there will not be much dowry...... Ouch, crying and making trouble, your second uncle and Xiao Yang helped your milk, and your uncle helped your third uncle, making a lot of noise, and almost didn't fight......

Xia Li secretly slandered herself, since Xia Shan became an official, Mrs. Xia's heart has been singing all the way, and she actually thinks that the Li family is poor and sour, and her family didn't even dare to think about whether the Li family's daughter is good or not. In the old lady's mind, no matter how much she likes her son, compared with money, he still has to lag behind.

Xia Li asked, "My third uncle won't compromise, right?" ”

Xia said, "Of course it won't be ......"

Xia Shan said that he would rather bear the charge of unfilial piety than be an official, and would not come back to marry the stupid daughter of the Zhu landlord's family.

Xia Tie was also unhappy and said, "Who said that the second daughter of Landlord Zhu is stupid?" People are just honest and obedient, which is a virtue. ”

Xia Shan is not good at talking about the old lady, but he will not be polite to Xia Tie, and said, "The second brother likes honest people so much, why did he marry the second sister-in-law, a mouthy mother-in-law?" If you really like it, divorce your troublesome mother-in-law and marry the daughter of the Zhu family. ”

Xia Tie blushed angrily, jumped up and hit Xia Shan, but was pulled away by Xia Zhu.

After Xia Zhu's persuasion, Xia Laohan compromised first. In fact, Xia Laohan also prefers Li Xiumin as his daughter-in-law in his heart, he respects Xiucai, and of course he likes to be in-laws with Wenquxing. But he still has self-knowledge, knowing that his reputation is not good, and he is afraid that the Li family, who knows the roots, is unwilling, and the Zhu family knows that his family will go to the Li family to ask for marriage first, and if he is unwilling, his family will be empty at both ends of the bamboo basket.

Seeing that the third son did not agree with the Zhu family, he agreed to go to the Li family to propose marriage first. He felt that as long as the Li family rejected this family business, he would be able to break his son's mind.

If the old man doesn't make trouble, Mrs. Xia won't be able to make trouble, and she won't dare to make trouble. They have already decided that after Xia Shan leaves tomorrow, the Xia family will ask a matchmaker to go to the Li family to propose marriage.

Xia Li asked again, "Do you think that Li Xiu can agree?" ”

Xia shook his head and said, "Originally, the Li family didn't look down on the Xia family, but today your grandmother has such an attitude towards the mother-in-law of the landlord Zhu, and the talented lady can really see it...... Alas, Shanzi's wish will not be so easy to achieve. He sighed again, "There is such a big trouble at home, your aunt has never said a word, and she has been in tears, she must be worried about Dani's family." Dani is thirteen years old, and there are several families to kiss, but she can't look down on her. She fancies, alas, people don't look down on the Xia family. In the future, Erni will be more pitiful than Dani......"

Xia Li also thinks so, and is worried about Uncle Xia Shan, and he doesn't know where those two flower-like little girls will fall.

I think that at the beginning, Xia Shiniang was sold at the age of ten, and she went to the official palace in the capital for her life, and because she saved the life of the little master, she was released into slavery, gave a sum of silver, and was also given a showman. Even if Xiucai died and was kicked out by her mother's family, because of that money, she later crossed over again, and her life is better now.

That Mei Niang's second aunt didn't have such a good fate, she married to a neighboring county, the man was not in good health, and she didn't bring any dowry, and her mother-in-law felt that this daughter-in-law was bought because she gave more money, and it was not good for her. Later, Xia Zhu and Xia Shan went to her in-law's house twice, but their in-laws didn't even let the door in, and they didn't see Xia Meiniang and her man......

Xia Li felt very uncomfortable. How helpless it is for a girl to be born in such a family, but this kind of family is not uncommon in this era.
