Xia Shan said proudly, "Uncle, I am on the same road with Lord Ye and Liu Gongzi this time, they will go to the provincial capital, and I will go home directly." He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Li Ye told me, let me work hard and have a future." ”

Xia Li said with a smile, "If you have a future, you have the hope of becoming an official." Congratulations to the third uncle for getting the blue eyes of the general and Liu Gongzi. ”

Xia Shan was so happy that his eyebrows bent to untie the reins of the horse.

Xia Li said again, "Third uncle, let's have dinner at my house, burn a rabbit and drink for you." ”

Xia Shan shook his head and said, "No, I'll go back and hand over the ten taels of silver to my mother to make her happy." Then he instructed, "Don't let my mother know how much silver you get, but if she really wants to ask, she will say ten taels...... Oh, no, I got ten taels of silver, and I said I got twenty taels...... Alas, the old man has been poor for a long time, and he has a lot of thoughts. Also, safety first, the little girl is lonely, even if she takes Dangdang, she can't go to the high places of the mountain. ”

Xia Li smiled and nodded in agreement, the little uncle is so cute.

She washed her hands and cleaned the pawn again. Xia Ju had already plucked a few long hairs from the pheasant, and said that he would give them to Brother Erhu and Hao Dazhu and Wang Tiedan.

Xia Li said, "Just give it to Dazhu and a few of them, it's okay to play with Erhu, don't let him take it home." ”

When the second tiger takes it home, the old lady will definitely pick on it, saying that they only send chicken feathers and not chickens. In fact, it really doesn't hurt to give the Xia family a wild thing, but I'm afraid that if I send it once, the old lady will be bold enough to ask for a second time.

Xia Ju is so smart, and he understands what his sister means.

When Xia came back, he was also very happy when he heard that Liu Gongzi had given two hundred taels of silver. Xia Wei hurt her and didn't let her do more. After more than a month of embroidery work, she only earned 400 yuan, which made her very ashamed. Now that there is so much money at once, the previous depression is gone.

Erhu came again and said that Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia asked them to go home for dinner.

Neither Xia nor Xia Li wanted to go back. Xia Laohan may be happy that the birds sent by Xia Li made Xia Shan get along with the chief and the chief's relatives, and he really has the hope of becoming an official, but Mrs. Xia is eighty percent of the idea of rewarding silver. felt that Xia Shan handed over all the ten taels of silver to her, and the twenty taels of silver that the girl got would be half of her mother's family. She asked for Xia's money, and she always felt that it was a positive share.

It's not that you can't bear ten taels of silver, this bad habit needs to be changed.

Xia Li said to Erhu, "You go back and tell your grandmother that I am a little unwell and I don't want to go anywhere." My mother just came back from a job in the county seat, and she was very busy. ”

Erhu promised to go back. Soon after, he trotted over again and said, "My grandmother said that I should rest at home away from my sister, and let my aunt go back alone, and I don't care about going back to my parents' house for a while." Then he whispered, "I heard my grandmother tell my second aunt that I want to squeeze out ten taels of silver from my aunt's hand, and that my aunt is becoming more and more concerned about her small family and ignoring her mother's family......"

Xia sighed, got up and said, "Okay, I'll go back." He said to Xia Li, "If I don't go back, she will come to the house to ask for it." I know what to do, I have honored those who should be honored, and I have to plan for the future of myself and my children. ”

This time she went back alone, and she only brought ten eggs.

With so much savings in the family, Xia Li was unwilling to wronged herself and her family, not to mention that Dangdang's eyes had been sticking to the fat rabbit it hunted, so she killed the rabbit, boiled one leg in white water, and burned the rest to eat.

After dinner, Xia Li sat under the eaves and watched Xia Ju and Dangdang play in the yard. The weather was already a little short, and at the end of the day, the sunset was completely sunset, and the twilight was heavy, and only a little rosy was left in the western sky.

If you put aside the worries about Xia in your heart and the boredom of those two best, Xia Li's mood at this time is as beautiful and peaceful as this twilight in the countryside.

Xia Shi came back, and her face was not worried. Seeing Xia Li looking at her worriedly, he smiled, "It's okay, no matter what they say, I just didn't let go." Your grandfather scolded her, and your uncle and third uncle also said that she ......"

Xia Li said, "Well, this time they want to be uncomfortable, let's protect it." A few more times, when they saw that they were not here, they would not have that thought, and they would not stretch out their hands again. If they don't take the initiative to reach out, we will be more filial. ”

Thinking of the greed of his wife and brother-in-law, Xia couldn't help but blush.

At night, after Xia Shi and Xia Ju fell asleep, Xia Li and Dangdang went to the backyard again.

The autumn night is deep, the moon is in the sky, and the night breeze is slightly cool.

Sanhua Mountain in autumn is the most colorful time, green, yellow, red three colors, dazzling and colorful. Under the dense forest, it is still as lively as ever, and the rules of survival of the animal kingdom are staged every minute.

Xia Li remembered the golden python again, he hadn't seen it for many days, maybe he had climbed deeper into the mountains, right? Xia Li's heart relaxed a little.

When the time came, one man and one dog went back to the house to rest.

With more deposits, as well as more profitable potatoes in the future, Xia Li slept very steadily.

After breakfast the next day, when he went up the mountain to play, Xia took pheasants and hares to the town to sell, Xia Ju couldn't wait to take a few beautiful pheasant feathers to Hao's house to find Dazhu, saying that he would also go to Erhu, Tie Dan'er and Dunzi.

Now that Xia Ju is used to playing in the village, most of the villagers still have kindness to him. In addition to forbidding him to go to some dangerous places by the river, outside the village, and in the woods, he and other children were allowed to run around the village.

Xia Li carried a bucket and made an appointment with Hao Yunxiu and Thursday Ya to go to the river to wash clothes. This job was also won by her later.

Halfway through, she met Xia Dani, and she joined them with a smile.

Away from some of the mouthy women who were doing laundry, the little girls squatted down on a few large rocks a little farther away, took out their clothes, wet them and put them on a smooth stone, rubbed soaphorns on their clothes, and beat them repeatedly with small wooden sticks.

The water is already a little cold now, and in a few days we will have to wait until the next day, when the sun will dry the water a little warmer.

They whispered as they washed, and giggles rang out from time to time, causing the women to look up at them frequently.

Suddenly, I heard Dazhu's loud voice, from far to near, "Leave Auntie, Auntie, it's not good, Uncle Ju was beaten." ”

Xia Li was startled, stood up and asked, "What's the matter, where is my brother?" ”

Dazhu had already run in front of her, panting and saying, "It was Wang Erwa, who lives in the west of the village, who beat her." None of us could beat him, so Uncle Erhu went home and called someone......"

He knew that his aunt and aunt would come to wash his clothes, so he came here directly.

Xia Li knew that the fourth son of that family, Wang Shixi, the fourth uncle of Wang Erwa, had always wanted to marry Xia, and he was unhappy that Xia Ju had ruined his good deeds.
