The next morning, before dawn, Xia and Zhu Er's family went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Later, Natsu left the backyard to practice martial arts.

At this time, the sky was short, and it was still dark at the end of the day, and there was only one star blinking in the sky.

The door of the east and north rooms was opened, and when the horse ran out first, the bear followed closely behind, and the two shadows hurriedly ran to the vegetable field to. After pulling it out, a dog and a bear ran to Xia Li's side together and raised their little butts.

Xia Li wiped the two of them with a cloth. Use cloth instead of paper, it is really too scarce in this era to wipe the animals and use expensive paper, the cloth is washed.

She praised the bear again, and led it to the kitchen, rewarding it with a spoonful of sweet white sugar. When Dangdang deliberately opened his mouth widely, the bear's mouth with sugar was hooked.

Sugar candy is so sweet, hehehehe......

Dangdang doesn't like to eat sugar, and his heart is really naïve.

Looking at these two essences, Xia Li was amused.

On the twenty-seventh day of the winter month, the Xia family invited the official wine. Xia and Zhu Er's family went to Xia's house early in the morning to help, and Xia also brought a piece of silk ruler and two chickens as a congratulatory gift.

At the beginning of noon, Xia Li led Xia Ju to Xia's house together. When they went out, Xiong Xiang began to sniffle again, holding Xia Ju's legs and not letting go.

Xia Ju squatted down and persuaded, "It's not that my sister and I don't take you, it's just that your courage is too small, so many people are afraid of scaring you." Okay, okay, you're bolder, I'll take you out to play. If you look at Dangdang, it doesn't have a way. ”

Afraid of the bear-like road, Xia Li didn't let go to play in the mountains, and let him accompany the little guy at home. Since the family has a smaller bear-like, when it is more sensible, except for the rare mashed potatoes, it can make the bear look like a bear, and is willing to take care of it.

Xiong Xiang was also afraid of those who didn't know it, and when he saw that there was still Dangdang at home, he had to shrug his nose and give up.

Halfway through, Xia Li's sister and brother met Li Xiucai, Lin and Li Xiumin, who were also guests at Xia's house. After saying hello, Xia Li and Li Xiumin walked behind hand in hand and whispered.

Xia Li said a lot of good things about the third uncle, what looks good and quality, has kung fu, has the ability to have ideals, knows how to be flexible, will engage in relationships and recruit the chief to like, in short, Xia Shan still has a great creation, which girl will regret it for the rest of her life if she misses it. Xia Ju also felt the same way, and interjected from time to time to talk about the various good things of the third uncle.

Li Xiumin's face blushed when she heard this. The little girl is wearing a green jacket and blue skirt, white and clean, quiet and delicate, not very beautiful, but with outstanding temperament, she is a beautiful girl who is difficult to find in the countryside.

Xia Li was very conflicted in her heart, she wanted her to be her little aunt, and the handsome third uncle deserved the love of such a good girl. and is unwilling to let such a gentle girl be Mrs. Xia's daughter-in-law, that old lady bullying her daughter-in-law has no bottom line. If the little girl can really marry the third uncle, she must let the third uncle find a way to take her to Xiangshan Mansion to settle down.

In the past, the third uncle often deceived the old lady in order not to let the old lady know his family background, and he was a flexible person.

The promotion wine of the Xia family can be regarded as a grand event in Xiaowa Village. Xiaowa Village not only has never been an official before, but has never even been a showman. Although Xia Shan is only an eight-rank minor military attaché, he is already very remarkable in the village.

There were a lot of people who came to congratulate him, and invited all the faces and good relationships in the village, as well as many relatives and friends from other villages, and the family of Master Xia Si also came. Not only was the house full, but even the yard was full.

Xia Shan was wearing a brand-new military attache uniform, and Xia Laohan and Mrs. Xia were wearing the silk clothes made for them by the Xia family, with a happy face, and greeted the guests loudly.

Seeing Li Xiumin, Xia Shan smiled even brighter.

Xia Li glanced at Xia Shan a few times with admiration, and then said in Li Xiumin's ear, "Ten miles and eight villages, I can't find a more handsome offspring than my third uncle." ”

Li Xiumin glanced at Xia Shan, lowered his head and turned even redder.

The Xia family was very happy when they saw that Li Xiucai's family really came. If it had passed, they would not have been able to invite this family anyway. Old man Xia hurriedly invited Li Xiucai to the upper room, Xia came over and invited Lin to the side room of the upper room, and Xia Li and the little girls were pointed out by Dani to go to the east chamber to play, and the children were playing in the yard.

Da Xiong also said to Xia Li sensibly, "Don't worry, Sister Li, I will take good care of Brother Ju." ”

Xia Li thanked him. Da Xiong is a good and honest boy, but he is a little stupid and too honest.

I am afraid that Mrs. Xia is vulgar and does not understand etiquette, and today's distinguished female guests are mainly received by the Xia family.

The division of labor of the Xia family today is that Old Man Xia and his three sons entertain male guests, Xia leads Mrs. Xia to entertain female guests, Dani is responsible for pouring tea and candy for guests, Da Xiong and several boys play with children, and Li's, Xiao Yang's, Erni, and Zhu Er's family are responsible for cooking, washing dishes and other rough work in the kitchen.

Dani really dressed up today. Wearing a peach-colored muslin jacket and a water-red silk long skirt, the small jacket and long skirt were also embroidered with plum blossoms, which she had studied with Xia before, and the silk was also bought by Xia Li in the provincial capital. combed the hair in a small bun, wore two silk flowers brought by Xia Li from the provincial capital on his head, and put on light makeup. The makeup must have been put on by Xia's to help her, which was eye-catching and not gaudy, and it was not at the same level as the makeup of a country girl.

The little girl has turned thirteen years old, slim and graceful, healthy and hearty, and smiling at any time. Although the appearance is not particularly outstanding, and it is a little stout, it is extremely likable.

Many elderly female guests who came would take her hand and praise her. The little ladies will also look at her a few more times and praise her.

Erni who occasionally came out of the kitchen looked enviously at Dani's busy figure, listened to the old woman's praise of Dani, and returned to the kitchen with a gloomy expression to continue to be busy.

Her eyes did not escape Xia Li, who was standing under the eaves.

Xia Li was very sympathetic to Xia Erni. Today is the day of great joy for the Xia family, not to mention the adults and Dani, even the three boys are wearing new clothes, only Erni is still wearing a small old dress with patches, and two faded cloth ropes are tied to the double buns.

The old couple can't pretend to be a girl in their eyes, their mother doesn't care, their father doesn't care, Xia Shan is an uncle who rarely comes back, and Li's heart is in his daughter. Dani has today, and the Li family must have planned for a long time, and fought for a long time. Only Xia Erni is pitiful and no one cares, or she can't take care of it.

Before, although Xia and Xia Li hated Xiao Yang, they didn't tear their faces, and they occasionally helped Xiao Nizi talk and give her something. Since Xiao Yang's last trouble, and Xia recognized Xia Ju's son again, Xia's mother and daughter not only completely broke with Xiao Yang's family, but also had an estranged relationship with Xia Tie. The Xia family didn't want to do much anymore, and Xia Li almost didn't come to the Xia family.
