Peng Laixi was most afraid of his mother, and when he saw that his mother was angry, he started crying, crying so much that he began to cough again, and spit out the meat and rice in his mouth. Peng Laifu hurriedly pulled his younger brother aside to wipe his mouth, Peng Huozi felt sorry for his son, but he didn't dare to speak.

Xia frowned and persuaded, "Mei Niang, Laixi is still a five-year-old child, what do you know." He can't even give up a chicken, which shows that he is benevolent and righteous......"

Xia Shan and Xia Li also hurriedly persuaded Xia Meiniang.

Xia Li secretly thought that he couldn't live anything, and the essence of the matter would change after that. Xia Meiniang hated the old couple of the Xia family for being greedy and shameless, and was angry that the relatives of the Peng family fell into the well when her family was in the most difficult situation. But she even refused to move around and help her relatives normally, and her relationship with the villagers was not good, she was only blindly rigid and did not know how to be flexible, she lived hard, and her children were pitiful.

Xia Meiniang was mistreated in her mother's family, and was married to a camel at the age of twelve, and then she struggled to support a family by herself. She is only twenty-seven years old this year, and she seems to have tasted the coldness of the world. She was two years younger than Xia Li before she died in her previous life, and Xia Li took pity on her very much.

Thinking about it, in the future, I have to let Xia talk to her more, and then take her to interact with outsiders more, so that her heart and intestines can be softened a little and better integrated into the normal interactions between people. Let her know that it is difficult to support herself, and now that she has something to rely on, she should not refuse, but should accept kindness. Keep this love in mind, make yourself stronger, make your husband and children better, and repay those who are good to her in the future. In this way, she and her family can be truly happy.

After dinner, Xia Shan took Xia Meiniang, Peng Huozi, and Zhu Er to Lizheng's house in the village, and said that the Peng family wanted to buy a homestead in the village. Li Zheng had already heard that Xia Meiniang had found a rich relative, and today she saw that her younger brother was still the general of the army, so she was very polite and hurriedly agreed. led them to see a piece of land, the place is not big, enough to build three main houses and two side houses, and can also surround a small yard. The place was not far from Wang Xin's house, and Wang's sister-in-law came out and greeted them warmly.

Peng Huozi happily handed over the money for the purchase of the land and the deed. Peng Huozi is not in good health, no matter how capable Xia Meiniang is, she is also a woman, so Xia Shan asked Zhu Er to find someone to build a house for their family, and come to help watch it every day. Sister-in-law Wang took the initiative to say that the person who built the house was eating at her house. Xia Shan was even happier, and immediately took a tael of silver to Wang's sister-in-law, saying that he would refund more and make up for less.

No matter how strong Xia Meiniang is, she knows that she can't do such a big thing as building a house, and she has to accept the love of so many people.

After that, Xia Shan and the others went to the craftsman's house together. Before, Li Xianjiang bullied Peng Huozi, and he didn't take less money from him, and the bamboo strips he gave were not good. Now seeing the military master accompanying him, his attitude is extremely humble.

Xia Shan pointed at Peng Huozi and said, "This is my brother-in-law, and I will trouble Uncle Li to take care of it in the future." ”

Li Yanjiang said, "The military master is polite, don't dare, don't dare." ”

Peng Huozi said how much kind of bamboo he wanted, asked the price, gave a deposit, and wished the second to pull Zhuangzi another day.

Li Yanjiang nodded in agreement, and said that he would definitely give him the bamboo strips.

They went home from their errands. Xia Meiniang went into the house to pack up her things, and only took a few patched clothes and a thin quilt with two beds blackened, as well as a piece of cloth and snacks and candy that Xia had just given her, as well as three chickens outside the house, a set of dishes and chopsticks that she just bought today, and there was no need to take the rest.

went down the mountain to Wang Xin's house, Xia took Wang's sister-in-law's hand and thanked her, and everyone got on the ox cart and returned to Zhuangzi.

Xia Meiniang was reluctant to live in the inner courtyard, so their family temporarily lived in the west wing of the front yard, the two adults lived in the north room, and the two children lived in the south room.

Their thin quilts turned into mattresses, and Xia brought sheets, pillows, and loose quilts. The quilt is a little thick, and it is built in the summer when I leave home in preparation for the winter, and the pillow is now made of chran.

Peng Laixi buried his face in the quilt and didn't look up, and said in an urn voice, "It's so fragrant, it's so soft." Sister, we can still cover such a good quilt. ”

Peng Laifu looked around and said with a smile, "There are such big windows, when the day dawns, the inside of the house must be as bright as the outside." ”

Peng Laixi raised his head and asked again, "Sister, will our new home be so bright in the future?" ”

Peng Laifu said firmly, "Of course. ”

After packing up and having dinner, Xia Shan hurried back to the camp. He was going back to Xiaowa Village tomorrow, but he didn't dare to say this to Xia Meiniang.

At night, Peng Huozi stayed in the house and didn't come out, the two Xia sisters whispered in the upper room of the inner courtyard, and Xia Li led Xia Ju and the Peng family sisters and brothers to play with the two dogs and one bear in the yard. Peng Laifu and Peng Laixi are both very good children, but they are a little timid. They suddenly lived in such a "luxurious" yard, and they were still a little unaccustomed to it.

Peng Laixi likes to say, "Why do I feel like a dream." He shook his head again and said, "Well, it's not a dream. ”

It made everyone laugh.

Peng Laifu is very diligent, and from time to time he helps Zhu Er's family and Jinling to work, but he doesn't listen to persuasion.

The next day, the Xia family did not return to the city, she whispered to Xia Meiniang for a long time, and went to the town for a long time.

Xia Li found out a set of clothes for her and Xia Ju, and asked Zhu Er's family for a set of old clothes for her and Zhu Cai, and taught Peng Laifu to change clothes. The family's clothes were too torn, and they made the muslin slowly, first changing the old clothes and wearing them immediately.

Due to the big difference in the stature of the Xia sisters, they only had to ask for a set of clothes for Xia Meiniang to change first. Although Zhu Er's family is shorter than Xia Meiniang, he is fatter, and he can wear it next to the side. Zhu Cai is a little taller than Peng Huozi, and his clothes can be changed for Peng Huozi.

Zhu Er went to Sanjian Village again and found ten people to build a house. Xia wanted them to build a few green brick houses, and the money was not enough for her to get more. Xia Meiniang was unwilling, the silver in her hand was enough to build three mud-walled tile houses and two grass-roofed partial houses, so she built them.

On August 17, Xia Meiniang was going to the training camp to work part-time, and the Xia family returned to the city.

They came back at noon, and after eating and resting, Xia Li and Xia Ju went to the Dusi Mansion, and they also carried a basket full of peanuts and a basket of fresh vegetables.

Mama Hua said that not only did Ye Feng not come back, but the old lady and the young master went out on the fourteenth, and they have not come back yet.

Xia Li guessed that Ye Feng's firearms might have made great progress. The reason why he went to Songshan Mountain in the northwest to test firearms, but not in Huaxiang Mountain, which was nearer, was because he was afraid that the bandits would find out. He hasn't come back for so long, and he can attract the old man out, and eighty percent of it is a success, let the old man go to see it.

She was both happy and disappointed. Tuohua gave the peanuts and vegetables to Mr. He in the front yard, and the two siblings went home.

When they crossed the bridge, they met Tian Qing's family, who went to the Zhao family to deliver peanuts, and she was still followed by Zhao Niuniu.
