Chapter 152: Bold Ideas
Zhao Niuniu shook her head and said, "It's almost night, I'm going back to cook." ”
Xia Li thought that Ye Feng went out to be busy with military affairs, and Zhao Liang was not at home. He asked, "Is your father coming back in the evening?" ”
Zhao Niuniu shook her head and said, "Don't come back." My dad said he wouldn't come back until the third year of junior high school. ”
Xia Li asked, "You're home alone these days, are you afraid?" ”
Zhao Niuniu smiled, "If I close the doors and windows, I won't be afraid." He said proudly, "My father is a thousand households, and thieves dare not come to my house to steal." ”
Xia Li asked again, "What do you eat alone?" ”
Zhao Niuniu said, "I made half a pot of brown rice last night, and my father and I ate a small half pot, and the rest is enough for me to eat for two days." ”
Xia Li said, "It's too boring for you to eat alone, go ......" She wanted to say go to my house, but she felt that it was wrong, so she changed her words, "Go to Dusi Mansion and eat with us." Good no good? ”
Zhao Niuniu wanted to go but was a little embarrassed, staring at her big eyes and not knowing whether to agree or refuse.
Xia Ju came over and took her hand and said, "Sister Niu'er, you can go, let's feed Variant and Dangdang together." ”
knocked on the side door, and the sister and brother took Zhao Niuniu, Dangdang, and Xiong Xiang back to the small courtyard together.
Xia Shi was worried for a day, and when he saw Xia Li come back, he became happy. She wiped Zhao Niuniu's dirty face, combed her hair again, and sent the two children and a dog and a bear to play in the yard.
Listening to Xia Li's story about today's experience, Xia Li only talked a few words about the dog training camp, and talked more about how delicious the dishes and bacon of Wang's sister-in-law's house were.
Their dinner is four dishes and one soup, three meat and one vegetable, and usually a few people will have a little left after they are full. Xia doesn't want to waste it, so he often eats it all by himself. Today, plus Zhao Niuniu just finished eating, don't look thin, the little girl is very edible, and the amount of food is bigger than Xia Ju.
After dinner, Xia took out the two sets of clothes he made for Zhao Niuniu and asked her to try them on, one spring coat and one summer shirt. Zhao Niuniu tried on the spring clothes, the silver-red silk jacket, the collar and sleeves pressed a circle of Yang Fei-colored silk edges, and embroidered a circle of entwined lotus flowers. Concubine Yang's long gauze skirt with a few floating leaves embroidered on the skirt. Even the matching concubine-colored silk headband and a silver-red silk handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers were ready.
Zhao Niuniu, who was wearing new clothes, was a little more delicate.
Seeing herself in the mirror, the little girl didn't believe that it was herself, and looked at it in a daze for a long time, and her eyes were a little red. This is the second time she can remember wearing new clothes, and they are still such beautiful clothes. The first time was when she just came to Fucheng to live with her father, and her father went to the embroidery workshop to buy her a set of clothes, the clothes were a little big, and her father said that she could wear them for two years. It's a blue dress again, far less bright and beautiful than this outfit.
Looking at her appearance, Xia's heart softened. "Well, it's very beautiful." ”
Xia Ju, who had avoided the house, ran in, and also glared and boasted, "Oh, Sister Niu'er is as good-looking as my sister." ”
Xia Li picked up Xia Ju's little tugging and said with a smile, "I don't know modesty, if you want to say that Niu'er is better looking than my sister." ”
Zhao Niuniu was praised with a smile and was at a loss.
Xia Shi said again, "This is what you did from your sister, you like it, and I will do it for you in the future." ”
Zhao Niuniu snorted and said, "Thank you, auntie, thank you Sister Li, this dress is so beautiful, I like it." ”
Xia Li smiled unceremoniously, "No thanks, Niu'er likes it, and Sister Li will make you more beautiful clothes in the future." ”
Xia is a widow and Zhao Liang is a widower, Xia must be embarrassed to say that this dress is a dress made by her own hands, and Xia Li is happy to take this credit for himself.
Suddenly, Xia Li had such an idea, Xia's mother is gentle and delicate, Zhao is dignified, both of them have good tempers and qualities, can they make a couple? Although Zhao Liang is an official and Xia is a peasant woman, Xia is rich, good-looking and worthy of him.
Well, in the future, observe Zhao Liang's personality more, and let them have more contact with ......
Xia Li was very happy about his bold idea, and the smile in his eyes became even stronger.
Xia thought that Xia Li was laughing at himself for thinking too much, and two red clouds couldn't help floating on his face, and he quickly made an excuse to enter the bedroom.
Xia Li took off the little girl's new clothes and folded them, wrapped them with Xia Shirt, and asked her to take them home. called the Xia family in the bedroom, and several people led Dangdang and Xiong Xiang together to send Zhao Niuniu home, and also took a look at their new house.
After crossing the small wooden bridge, they were facing Rongzhong Hutong in front of their new home.
Xia Ju had already told Zhao Niuniu that it was her future home, and took her to see the gate and the wall. Zhao Niuniu is extremely happy, they will be neighbors in the future.
Everyone went to see the mansion first. The yard was very clean, and in the morning Xia came to water the flowers and wipe the window lattices and the railings of the verandah.
Xia Li looked at the three large wardrobes in the main room and the side room, an Arhat bed, vermilion lacquer, carved flowers, very new. But she didn't like the things that others had used, so she still asked Xia to call the people from the carpentry shop and sell them at the right price.
She happily assigned it again, "My mother lives in the main room, I live in the east wing, my younger brother lives in the main room with my mother temporarily, and then lives in the west wing when he grows up." ”
Xia Shi looked frightened, "How can I live in the main house, and I can live in the wing room...... she wanted to say that she should live in the wing room by herself, but she felt that she couldn't say so, and said busily, "Same as the countryside, we all live in the main house, close to it, lively." ”
Xia Li was reluctant and said, "Mother, I have grown up, I should live by myself." "She really wanted a space that was more private.
Xia was very stubborn and said, "The West House and the West House are both for you, and Ju'er and I can't disturb you." I live in the east house, and Ju'er lives in the east side house. When he is seven years old, he will go to live in a wing. ”
Xia Li saw that Xia's mouth was tightly pursed, and the green tendons on his forehead were so anxious that he had to give up. This mother, most of the time, is as gentle as a little white rabbit, and some things that don't matter are stubborn.
The gardenias in the yard are in full bloom and fragrant. Xia Li picked a few flowers for Xia, himself, and Zhao Niuniu to pin on the belt on his chest, and the rich fragrance of flowers made people intoxicated.
She looked to the west again, and the towering Tengshu Pavilion was clearly displayed in front of her, with the carvings on the window lattice, a few red flowers between the green leaves, and the little beasts on the horns...... In the future, she can still watch him here to her heart's content......
After a few people and a dog visited, they walked out of the weeping flower gate and called down the bear-like person sitting on the banyan tree and looking at the scenery. locked the door and went to Zhao Niuniu's house again.
Because of the bear-like appearance, they were destined to swagger all the way, and many people stopped to watch them. This made Xia very embarrassed, but it made the two children happy.
In the future, his family will live here, and some of these people are Uncle Xia Shan's comrades and their families, Xia Li has a very friendly attitude towards a few children and women who come to see the bear.
