Chapter 226: Rumors
Xia pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What did Niu'er say this?" ”
Zhao Niuniu Ai Ai said, "My father said that if my aunt doesn't want me to come to your house for dinner, I can only cook and eat at home." I don't want to eat at home by myself, it's just me, and the food doesn't taste good. ”
Xia Ju hurriedly said, "Sister Niu'er is telling jokes, how can my mother not want you to eat at my house." ”
Xia blushed and said with a forced smile, "Niu'er likes to eat her aunt's food, just come, and my aunt is not unwilling." ”
Zhao Niuniufang laughed. Then he asked, "Auntie, do you know what kind of food to eat on the fire?" When I woke up this morning, I saw that his eyes were red and his lips were foaming, and I thought he must be on fire. ”
Xia Ju listened, looked at Xia's, and asked, "Mother, are you also on fire?" ”
Xia's face turned even redder, and he said angrily, "What nonsense, where is my mother on fire?" With that, he went to his bedroom.
Xia Ju spread his hands, could it be that he was wrong?
Xia Li was a little funny. Obviously like a pair of sentient men and women, and there are no in-laws and Fahai who beat mandarin ducks, how could it be like this? The little girl's words are good, let Xia think about it, I hope she can figure it out.
Zhao Liang handled the problem very well. The children continue to communicate with each other, which not only gives him hope, but also does not cause too much embarrassment between the two families.
Xia Li told Xiao Nizi very seriously that drinking chrysanthemum tea, duck soup, lotus seed soup, and mung bean porridge can reduce the fire.
Zhao Niuniu nodded, saying that she would make mung bean porridge at night and give her father a fire.
The two villains ran out to play, and Xia Li heard the loud voice of Mama Hua on the other side, "Little Brother Xia, Niu'er, my old lady is back, and she has brought you good things, please come to the house to play, and I will also eat in the house at noon." ”
Xia Ju's surprised voice, "Are Brother Ye and Brother Liu also back?" ”
Mama Hua's voice, "My cousin is back, and my uncle will have to wait two more days to come back." ”
Xia Ju's voice, "Sister, let's go play with Grandpa Ye." ”
Xia Li agreed, "Okay." ”
The sound of shredded footsteps faded away.
At noon, only Xia Li and Xia had dinner.
Xia Li said as if unintentionally, "Listen to my third uncle, Uncle Zhao is a very good person......
Xia put down the bowl and said with a heavy face, "Is Lord Zhao okay, what does it matter to us?" Seeing Xia Li looking at her in surprise, he hurriedly added, "I don't mean anything else." is to tell you that a girl's family is not good to talk about other men behind her back. ”
Xia Li rolled her eyes in her heart, Xia Shiniang is sometimes quite annoying. She couldn't answer what she said, so she had to change her words, "Mother, do you want to keep the festival for my father?" ”
As soon as Xia Shi heard Xia Li mention her father, he suddenly became angry and scolded, "Your dead ghost father, unkind, ruthless, shameless, shameless, shameless...... He, he is dead and he is not worthy of a woman to keep a festival for her. There is no good thing in his family, and his heart is dark. After scolding, he stopped eating, and rushed back to the bedroom angrily.
Xia Li looked at the door that closed suddenly, a little stunned, Xia Niang still has a time when she is not gentle. She had no appetite to eat, so she put down her bowl and went back to her room.
Xia Li knew that Xia Shi did not have a grudge against that dead ghost Xiucai father, but completely hated it, and gritted his teeth with hatred. He had been dead for so many years, and Xia was still cursing so badly, I don't know how he had hurt her......
Xia's personality is not as rigid and love-hate as Xia Meiniang, on the contrary, she doesn't hold grudges very much, which can be seen from the fact that she is willing to help sell her mother's family. But for the dead ghost father and his family, he hates it to the core......
Not long after, Xia Ju returned. He took a bag in his hand, which contained a set of pen and ink inkstones sent by General Qiu before, and some food. said, "This was given to me by Grandfather Ye to study hard." He smiled again, "Grandfather Ye can't help but praise my sister for her intelligence." "A look of honor.
Xia Li was secretly happy, it must have been a big improvement in firearms, and Ye Lao Guogong added an impression point to himself.
He also reminded Xia Ju in a low voice that Xia Shiniang was in a bad mood and asked him to be careful.
Xia Ju covered his mouth with his chubby hand and said a word, "Okay." He pouted and said, "My mother must have been angry with Grandma Cai, and I won't play with Cai Lei in the future." ”
Cai Lei is the grandson of Mrs. Cai.
In the evening, Xia Shi woke up and did not leave the house, but did needlework in the house. Xia Li and Xia Ju were both cautious and didn't dare to make a big move.
When Shen Shi, Zhao Niuniu came again, saying that her father would not come back at night, which meant that she was going to eat here again.
Xia Li promised to let the two children go outside to play and come back when they were eating.
Xia Shi only came out at dinner, and his face was still gloomy. Xia Li didn't dare to say much, and went out in a hurry after eating.
The weather is now relatively short, and it will be dark at the end of the unitary period. Even if the sky was not dark, a few bright little stars had already appeared on the canopy.
There are also significantly fewer people walking than on hot days.
When they usually left the capital at the beginning of the time, Xia Li and a few people walked around the river, and sent Zhao Niuniu home.
They walked from the northernmost side of Dongrong Street, and as soon as they reached the east side of the North Hutong entrance, they heard a sharp woman's voice, "The widow of Naxia is shameless, and coaxes Lord Zhao's daughter to go to her house for dinner every day." A widow, still so old, how can she not care about fame. ”
Another woman laughed and said, "A man is a widower and a woman is a widow, and it is not impossible if both are interesting." ”
The previous woman said, "Lord Zhao is handsome and has a future, if you want to find a young and beautiful person, how can you fall in love with that half-old Xia widow." ”
Another woman said, "Sister-in-law Xia is quite fair and handsome, and she doesn't look old......"
At first, the woman said, "I don't look old yet, and I can kill mosquitoes in my folds." Hmph, if it weren't for her licking her face every day to slap Zhao Niuniu, Lord Zhao wouldn't even look at her more. His voice lowered again and said, "I heard that Widow Xia is still eye-to-eye with an old man who cooks......
Hearing those words, Xia Li was so angry that his blood gushed upward. This mother-in-law is also too bad, she ruined the relationship between their family and the Zhao family, and dared to create rumors about the Xia family.
She had already heard who this mother-in-law was, the man's surname was Wang, and he was called Mrs. Wang or Mrs. Wang, and the man and his son were in business. lives in the second house in the west of North Hutong, just behind Xia Li's house, and Xia Li can often hear her scolding her daughter-in-law.
Xia's gentleness, Xia Li doesn't have dealings with these people, and he hasn't offended them.
Xia Li resisted the urge to beat the woman immediately, if this matter was too big and attracted everyone, Xia's reputation would be completely stinky.
She walked over and said angrily, "Mother-in-law Wang, who did you just say?" Again, I didn't hear clearly. ”
