Xia Shi was sad when he thought of those bad things, sighed deeply, patted Xia Li's hand and said, "Good girl, my mother knows that you are filial." Your grandmother has already sold her mother once, and she has paid back everything she should have returned. Besides, your eldest uncle can be a butcher, your second uncle can open an iron shop, and your mother has also made money. They are having a good time now, and there is really no need to worry about our idea anymore, the mother's things must be left to the daughter, and no one should try to go. Between relatives, Shengmien has seen too much about fighting against Mi, and my mother doesn't want to do this stupid thing. ”

In ancient times, it was not only a butcher who could open a butcher shop, but a blacksmith who could open an iron shop, and he had to keep a file in the county, which had to be approved. Xia Shi gave 20 taels of silver to help Xia Zhu and Xia Tie go to the county to have a relationship, and also gave 10 taels of silver to Xia Tie as capital, rented a house in Sanhu Town to open an iron shop, and gave Mrs. Xia 12 taels of silver to buy a field. The two brothers, Xia Zhu and Xia Tie, are very capable, and they have run their respective shops well in a few years. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Xia family is a great hero of the Xia family.

The Xia family had a total of more than forty taels of silver to support her mother's family, and seeing that Mrs. Xia and her brother-in-law Xiao Yang were still worried about her remaining money, they simply spent the rest of the silver. not only repaired this luxurious courtyard, but also insisted on digging a well to facilitate the life of mother and daughter. Later, Mrs. Xia and Xiao Yang tried their best to squeeze it, but they didn't squeeze out more money. Looking at Xia's embroidery every day to support her family, I believe that she really has no money.

Most of the people in the Xia family are good and remember her love, but Mrs. Xia and Xiao Yang are exceptions.

They feel that the Xia family is dead, and the man comes back to her mother's house with her daughter, so all her belongings should be her mother's family, she shouldn't spend so much money to repair the house and dig a well, and she also spent so much money to let a girl study, which is unfilial piety and an elbow to turn out.

Xia Lao Taiji tried his best to let Xia's succession of the three bears not only have the meaning of not flowing into the fields of outsiders, but also have the intention of letting his daughter rely on her old age. But Xiao Yang's selfish and unreasonable, and lazy to eat, her good plan is to take her son over to occupy the Xia family's property, marry Xia Li to receive a dowry, and then let the Xia family do work every day to support their family......

Xia is gentle and understands in his heart, but he won't argue with his mother's family more. But the original owner is powerful, as she grows up, she often unceremoniously tells the shameless thoughts of the old lady and Xiao Yang, and Xia Laohan scolds them a lot, so that they can be restrained.

Xia Li was very happy to hear Xia's words, but she didn't care about this bit of family property, it was Xia's love for her daughter that moved her. Moreover, Xia looks gentle and honest, in fact, he is very successful in his heart, and if he makes money in the future, he will not worry that she will not be able to carry it.

While the two were talking, they heard a knock on the door, and a boy's voice came from outside, "Auntie, leave my sister, open the door." ”

It is Xia Erhu, the son of the eldest uncle.

The old Xia family has not yet separated, and Xia's parents live with an older brother and two younger brothers.

The eldest brother Xia Zhu, who is one year old today Chinese New Year's Eve, married his wife Li, Li is very good, cool, diligent, and has a good relationship with Xia. They have two children, the eldest daughter, Xia Dani, who is 12 years old. There is also a son, this Xia Erhu, six years old. The reason why the two children are so different is because one of the children in the middle died of illness not long after birth.

The second brother is called Xia Tie, and the Xia family is a dragon and phoenix fetus, twenty-nine years old, married to Mrs. Xia's maiden niece Xiao Yang, the eldest daughter Xia Erni is eleven years old, the eldest son Xia Daxiong is nine years old, and the youngest son Xia Sanbao is five years old.

The third brother's name is Xia Shan, nineteen years old, and he is doing military service. The army is not far away, and can come back for two days a month.

There is also a younger sister, Xia Meiniang, who is twenty-six years old, married to a neighboring county and almost broke off contact.

The original owner's least favorite people are Xiao Yang and Mrs. Xia, and the favorite people are grandfather Xia Laohan and third uncle Xia Shan, as well as this Xia Erhu. She occasionally gave Erhu a few pennies to buy candy to eat, and also taught him to read and write, and the relationship between the cousin and brother was very good.

When the mother and daughter heard that he was coming, they both showed smiling faces, and Xia quickly got up and went to open the door.

Erhuzi is the best one in the Xia family, and they all say that he looks the most like the eldest aunt Xia Lanniang, white and delicate, white teeth and red lips, and he loves cleanliness very much, and he is very smart, not like the butcher's son at all. Therefore, Xia Zhu didn't want him to inherit his mantle at all, but wanted to wait for him to turn seven years old to study privately. I don't dare to think about it, if I can take the exam, I will be a gentleman like Mr. Li in the future, and I will change the door of the Xia family.

Xiao Zhengtai came in with a small piece of pork liver and two tube bones in her hand, and when she saw Xia Li sitting in the yard, she was very surprised, ran to her and jumped twice, and exaggeratedly said, "It's great that Sister Li can come out!" He stretched the pork liver and the bones forward, and said, "There are just these good things, and I will also have dinner here to celebrate my sister's recovery." ”

Xia Li smiled and pinched his little face, and said, "Okay, I'll eat at my aunt's house today." Let my aunt fry the tip of the liver, and then stew a big bone broth. ”

Erhuzi jumped again with joy and handed the things in his hand to Xia.

Xia didn't answer first, and said, "If your grandmother sees it, you should scold your father again." Don't make trouble, take it home. ”

Erhuzi smiled, "I came from the small bamboo forest, and no one saw it." ”

Xia Zhu sells meat at the southwest entrance of the village, and he is the only one selling meat in several nearby villages. Due to the limited purchasing power of the villagers, Xia Zhu only sells half a pig a day. Not every butcher in the countryside has pigs to kill every day, and if Xia Zhu has pigs to kill, he only leaves half a fan of meat to sell. If there are no pigs to kill, take half a fan of meat from another butcher.

If the weather is cold, it will be sold the next day if it is not sold out. If it's hot, sell it at a reduced price, and you won't be able to sell enough bones and a little meat to eat at home. However, Xia Zhu would find a way to squeeze out a little meat or bone every once in a while, and let Erhu secretly take it to the Xia family.

After hearing this, Wang smiled and took the pork liver and bones and put them in the kitchen.

Even if the old Xia family is better now, they can still eat some meat almost every day, but Mrs. Xia has become a habit of picking the door, not only is she reluctant to put oil in the stir-fry, she is mostly stewed, and she also determines the amount of people, and will not cook an extra grain of grain. However, Xia's cooking skills are very good, and he is willing to put oil, even if the vegetarian dishes will be fried with salt and flavor. Therefore, Xia Erhu does not like to eat at his own home, but often comes to his aunt's house to eat.

A few people laughed for a while, and Xia Shi saw that the sun had set, so he went into the kitchen to cook. When her daughter got better, Xia was also happy and wanted to cook more dishes that her daughter liked to eat.

The dusk in the countryside is enchanting, the sunset hangs obliquely, the sky is full of colorful clouds, everything in the world is gilded with a layer of gold, and the roofs of houses are filled with cooking smoke.

Looking at this beautiful scenery, and Xiao Zhengtai chattering on the side, Xia Li's mood was better.

How good it is to live a new life, and to have loved ones!
