Chapter 42 Raising a Family
Xia Li really couldn't figure it out, there were thousands of mountains and rivers along the way, how old was his child, was brought to him by the person named Si'er? His mother-in-law caught Si'er, how could she let this little man escape?
Poor little man, the grandmother wants to eradicate the concubine for her own interests, how can the grandmother not only not protect her grandson, but also help the abuse, let such a young child go away to seek protection. It is said that it is not easy for children to live, and it is true.
Xia Li has some regrets, this child may not be able to be his younger brother all the time. Although the contact time has not been long, she has already fallen in love with this smart and beautiful little bean ding.
She felt that she should continue to take him in, help him, and wait until he was well before letting him go to the person he was looking for.
Xia Li suppressed the doubts in his heart and got up gently, and when he saw the pawn on the straw mat, he also sat up. Xia Li gave it a password to continue sleeping, and went to the hall by himself. She found a pen and paper in the dark, and wrote down what the boy had said. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and even she is afraid that she will forget it after a long time, or get confused.
Also, I can't tell Xia about this matter for the time being, she is cowardly......
Xia Li was not afraid. Although the child's life experience involves the secrets of the rich families in the capital, and he doesn't know whether his family is an official eunuch or a businessman, but thousands of miles away, the child is "dead" in the eyes of Liu Yaren, and he should not be able to find it here. Moreover, there may be other reasons why his mother-in-law arrested Si'er but did not arrest him, but the biggest reason may be that she is unwilling to let him go home, and deliberately let him "run away".
Xia Li was very happy about his wise decision later, because Xia Ju's words changed the next night, "...... My name is Qiu Zhongshu, my home is in the capital, I live in the Streamer Courtyard, and my father is in the border pass Yacheng...... No, it's Chicken City, no, no, it's Duck City. My grandmother killed my aunt and wanted to hurt me, and my grandmother also hurt me...... Come to Xiangjiang to find a real cousin, oh, no, look for a fake cousin, pretending to be fake, not really real. He will help me find Big Brother Bai, oh no, help me find Big Brother Night, the night of the night, not the white of the day...... Big Brother Night is powerful, and he is not afraid of bad women and old ladies...... Looking for Daddy......"
Listening to his chatter, Xia Li was funny and sad at the same time. Poor kid!
On the night of the fifth day, his words had become, "My grandmother wants to harm me, find my real cousin, find Big Brother Bai, and find my father......"
On the sixth day, his words, "I like my sister, I like my mother, I like to be my sister, I want my surname Xia, not Qiu...... I don't look for a fake cousin, I don't look for a big brother in the night...... Daddy doesn't want me, and my grandmother and grandmother want to poison me......"
After the seventh day, he never recited the past again. I just said it once in the middle of the night when I was about to relieve myself, "Si'er, pee." ”
Xia Li took the urinal to catch him with urine, and when he saw that it was Xia Li, he would open his eyes wide and say, "Sister, don't hear me wrong, I just called my sister." ”
Xia Li smiled, "Well, the one you just called is my sister." ”
After that, he even called Xiao Xie "sister" in the middle of the night.
Is this raising a family?
Xia Li was secretly happy. She still selfishly hopes that nothing will happen and that the child will always stay in her own home. She felt that this child would definitely not be happy when he came home, and it was not certain whether he would grow up or not. Even if you find that Big Brother Night or Big Brother Bai, how can an outsider manage other people's family affairs. There is also his father who works on business or does business at the border, in ancient times, filial piety was emphasized, and his mother and concubine, ordinary ancient men would choose their mothers with their brains.
Moreover, if such a child does not tell him what happened before, he will slowly forget. Especially bad memories, forget faster.
At the beginning of July, Xia Ju completely recovered from his illness. In fifteen days, he has established a very close relationship with Xia Li, Xia's family, and Dangdang. Not only that, but he also learned some Xiangjiang vernacular.
Xia was very happy to see that no one came to look for the child, and the child never mentioned going home, and offered to go to the county government several times to put his household registration in his own name. Xia Li said to wait, she had to confirm again if anyone came to him.
In the past half a month, Xia Erhu had come to the house twice, and he didn't stay long before he was sent away by Xia Li with a book and twenty dollars, and he went to his grandfather's house a few days ago and hasn't come back yet.
Xia Dani, Zhou Yunxiu, and Thursday Ya each came once, they all sat in the courtyard and talked, did not enter the house, and of course did not see Xia Ju.
Because she was afraid of vicious dogs, Mrs. Xia didn't dare to come, so she only asked people to bring a message to Xia Shi home.
Only rhubarb, who often comes to the door, can enter the house, not only when he likes to play with it, but also likes Xia Ju.
Xia is busier, sitting in the house embroidering embroidery every day, she feels that with her son, she should earn more money. You can't be wronged, but you can't be too aggrieved. Because Xia Li didn't allow her to embroider at night, she seized all the time to do it during the day.
At the end of the third day of July, Xia Li was talking and laughing with Xia Juhe and Dangdang in the hall. Xia Ju sat on Xia Li's lap, Dangdang squatted on Xia Li's lap, and put a front hoof on Xia Ju's knee, and the two of them were intimate.
Suddenly, the shouting of a head shaving master came from a distance. Xia Li looked at Xia Ju's messy hair, and went out to invite the master in to shave his head.
In order to make Xia Ju's changes greater, Xia Li asked the master to change his hairstyle. But except for the hair in front of him, the hair in other places only grew half an inch, and he couldn't tie it.
This shaver is a neighboring town who travels around this area to shave his head, and his skills are very good, and it didn't take long to shave all around Xia Ju's head, leaving only a handful of hair on the top of his head, saying that he would be able to tie it in two months.
As soon as the hairstyle changed, coupled with a pair of coarse cloth shorts, Xia Ju changed even more. Although he is still very beautiful, he is a little silly and rustic, giving people the impression that he is a beautiful country boy.
This strange and individualized hairstyle made Xia Lile bad. Xia Ju was not angry at all by his sister's jokes, he twisted his body with Xia Li, rolled his tongue and said, "No, no, my sister laughs at me for being a bird." I'm going to pinch, I'm going to make amends. ”
It's so delicate that you can't even straighten your tongue.
Xia's chuckle floated out of the small window.
Xiao Zhengtai was coquettish and cute, which made Xia Li like it even more, and bent down to gently ravage his little chubby face with two hands. After living in her house for half a month, Xia Ju was a little fatter than when she first came.
Being pinched like this by his sister, Xia Ju covered his mouth and made fun, he knew that he had to keep it secret for the time being in this house, so he never spoke and laughed loudly in the yard.
When he saw that his sister pinched his little brother and ran over with his tail flicking, Xia Li smoothed his head again. The excited Dangdang was spreading joy in the yard, and the little man chased after it and laughed silently.
A person and a dog were covered with golden sunshine, and Xia Li's pride and satisfaction of the eldest sister arose spontaneously.
