Chapter 43: Losing the Piglet

Xia Li asked Xia Ju and Dangdang to go to the backyard to play, she went back to the house and took thirty yuan to buy meat at the west entrance of the village, and by the way, she told Xia Zhu about raising a boy at home.

It's best to talk to Xia Zhu about this matter first, if something comes out, he can also help persuade Mrs. Xia and Old Man Xia.

In fact, there have been some rumors in the village recently that there is a little boy living in the Xia family. It's just that there are not many people who know about this, except for Carpenter Zhou and Doctor Zhou, no one else has seen that child. These families are still good friends with the Xia family, and they hate the old lady Xia and her daughter-in-law who are greedy and want to forcibly occupy the property of the married daughter, so they didn't tell the Xia family.

However, Xia Zhu, who has been selling meat at the entrance of the village, should have heard of it.

At this time, there was no one else at the meat stall, and only a lean meat was left on the iron hook, and a large bone was placed on the table. Xia Zhu sat under a tree a few steps away from the stall to cool off.

Xia Li smiled, "Uncle, I bought all the meat and bones." ”

Xia Zhu got up and said with a smile, "Take all the eighteen texts." ”

Xia Li knew that he had taken advantage of a few pennies again, so he didn't refuse, and counted eighteen cents to Xia Zhu with a smile. He said, "Uncle, my mother asked me to tell you something, that is, my family picked up a little boy, he is as beautiful and smart as Erhu, and my mother and I like him very much." also gave him a name, called Xia Ju......"

Xia Zhu heard this, and laughed and said, "That's good, that's good, it must be because God saw that your mother suffered a lot and gave her a boy." In the future, if you have that kid at the top of the door, life will be better, and you will save those people the idea of beating your family again. ”

Looking at his expression, he was really happy for Xia Li's mother and daughter.

Xia Li smiled and said embarrassedly, "However, I'm afraid that my grandfather and grandmother will be unhappy, and I think that we are cheap outsiders and not cheap relatives...... The eldest uncle also knows the thoughts of the second uncle, how dare we cheap those relatives. And oh, I'm still young, and I don't want to talk about recruiting a son-in-law......"

She is not afraid of Xiao Yang's, that evil woman can't make big waves, so she really can't secretly move her hands and feet to make her "sick" for a while. But she is a little hypothetical Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia, they are not big villains, Old Man Xia has some small peasant consciousness, and Mrs. Xia is a little greedy, especially Old Man Xia is very good to the two of them, it is impossible to cut off relatives and deny them, and it is not good to secretly do something.

Xia Zhu knew Xia Li's concerns, his mother was definitely unwilling to let his sister recognize an outsider as a son to inherit the family business, and at the same time, he didn't approve of his father's idea, and he also thought that most of the men who were willing to be inverted sons-in-law were unproductive.

He pondered for a while and said, "I also think that since your mother wants to recognize her son, she should recognize the children of her own family and raise her family." Don't say that the big bear and the second tiger are not good, as long as they are the children of relatives, they are not good...... Your grandfather still really feels sorry for you, I think your mother has made a great contribution to the family, and you are the daughter of Wenquxing, so if you persuade him well, you can persuade him. It's just your grandmother...... Hey, as long as your grandfather is clear, she won't be able to toss the big waves no matter how much she tosses. As for your second uncle, don't pay attention to her, she is a greedy and discontented troublemaker. When my uncle finishes work and goes back, I will talk to your grandfather quietly. ”

Xia Li hurriedly said, "Uncle don't tell your grandfather first." What my mother meant was that my third uncle should be back soon, and when he came back, my mother would go and explain it to my grandfather and grandmother. With you and the third uncle persuading, it will be better. ”

Xia Shan has not returned home once since returning to the barracks at the end of May. Xia felt that he should come back at the beginning of this month.

Since Xia Shan became the flag commander and was sent back by Lord Du Si to carry out such an important task, Xia Laohan has attached more importance to this little son. Mrs. Xia already likes her youngest son, and when he is promoted, he likes it even more when he is promoted to military salary. The Xia family wants to wait for him to come back, and then invite the fourth master Xia back, persuaded by the favorite son of the old couple and the eldest son, and the most respected fourth master of the clan to help say goodbye, maybe the effect will be better.

Xia Zhu smiled and promised, and instructed Xia Lidao, "Close the door at night and let the dogs in the house be more vigilant." I heard that a family in Shiban Village lost a little pig at night......"

Xia Li also heard about this. A few days ago, a family in Shiban Village lost a piglet of more than 50 catties at night, and I don't know how to lose it. It is said that he saw the little pig at night, and the next day the little pig disappeared out of thin air, the door of the house was well inserted, and the earthen wall was as high as an adult, and I don't know how the thief got in and how he got out.

Since hearing the news, Xia was also frightened, and asked Wang Erniu to find another big stone and put it next to the dog cave. At night, the entrance to the cave was blocked with two large stones, and it was not easy for wild animals to arch.

Xia Li thanked him and went home with the meat and bones.

When I got back to the door, I saw a crack in the door and knew that someone was coming.

She pushed open the door and walked in, Xia was sitting under the eaves chatting with a middle-aged woman with a new eye.

The middle-aged woman squinted her eyes when she saw Xia Lixiao, and said in a loud voice, "Ouch, a girl with a lot of water......"

Xia's smile was more reluctant, and he introduced, "This is Aunt Yi from Jitou Village." ”

Similar situations have occurred many times in their family, and this is another person who came to tell Xia Li about matchmaking. Because she offended Mrs. He last time, Mrs. He didn't want to go to her door again, but some middle-aged and elderly women who were familiar or unfamiliar came a lot, all of them helped Xia Li talk about her son-in-law.

Xia Lipi greeted without smiling and entered the kitchen. After listening to Aunt Yi talk about a lot of benefits in the afterlife, Xia politely refused and sent Aunt Yi, who had a bad complexion, out of the door.

Xia Shi went into the kitchen and said to Xia Li, "Lili doesn't need to be angry with them, let's just not agree." ”

Xia Li smiled, "Well, I know. ”

Since Liu Changzhao came to the house last time as a guest, many times it has been Xia Li's chef and cooks the meals she likes to eat. She stewed the bones into the pot first, the soup was thick, then put the winter melon slices in, and finally put in the meat slices coated with starch, eggs, and salt, which was the winter melon and smooth meat she liked to eat in her previous life. Mix another eggplant with garlic and the delicious dinner is ready.

In the evening, Xia Li, Xia Ju, and Dangdang ate fragrantly, only Xia's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.

Xia Li knew that the old lady was anxiously looking forward to Xia Shan's return, and she was still worried about the future days of the family. She wants Xia Li to marry beautifully in the future, and she wants this son to have a better life.

Xia Li said again, "Don't worry, mother, we will have a better life in the future, I still want to be the master." ”

Xia Ju also hurriedly said, "When I grow up, I will earn a lot of silver for my mother and sister and buy a lot of land." He glanced at Dangdang and added, "I also bought delicious food for Sister Dangdang." ”

He successfully made Xia laugh, sandwiched a piece of meat for him and said, "Ju'er is really filial. ”
