Chapter 5: Secrets

Xia fried a pork liver, a scrambled egg with leeks, a dried garlic tofu, a big bone white soup, and a pot of brown rice.

During this period, she went out to beckon a few hens back to the backyard chicken pen, and Xia Erhu was also very diligent in following her to catch the chickens.

When the meal was put on the table, Erhuzi's eyes lit up, and his cheeks bulged out as much as he ate. The appearance of gobbling up made Xia and Xia Li naolous.

Xia Li smiled, "The name of the second tiger is really good, and eating is not like a little tiger." ”

Erhuzi opened his oily mouth and said, "I can only look like a little tiger when I eat at my aunt's house, and I am like a sick cat when I eat at my own house." ”

After the meal, Xia Li felt extremely tired, went back to bed to rest, and Erhuzi also returned home.

Lao Xia's house is only more than 100 meters away from Xia's home, Erhuzi went out to the west, passed a few yards, and then turned north, and arrived at Xia's house.

At this time, the Xia family was still eating. Xia Shan was not at home, and the Xia family had eleven in total, all of whom were crowded into a big table to eat. On the table, there is a large pot of bone stewed white siad soup, a small bowl of fried meat with garlic sprouts, and two dishes of pickles. The bowl of fried pork with garlic sprouts was placed in front of Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia only allowed them and their son to eat, and sometimes gave one or two slices to the grandchildren, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter were not qualified to eat it.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Li, and her two granddaughters were self-conscious, and they didn't dare to eat meat. Only the second daughter-in-law, Xiao Yang, is greedy, and sometimes she will be cheeky and sandwich a piece. Mrs. Xia not only has to knock on her chopsticks, but also scolds, "You are a gluttonous mother-in-law, you know how to eat well, and you don't look at how tired men are to support their families." ”

Xiao Yang's face is thick-skinned, as long as the meat is eaten in his mouth, he is not angry, and he laughs twice. It made Xia Tie and Xia Daxiong embarrassed, Xia Tie glared at Xiao Yang, Xia Daxiong lowered his head and looked at his mother embarrassed.

Xia Laohan saw that his second grandson was back, so he asked with a heavy face, "Gluttonous boy, went to your aunt's house to eat again?" ”

Xia Erhu nodded and said, "Well, my aunt's house has scrambled eggs with leeks tonight, dried tofu, and fragrant." He didn't dare to say that he had eaten pork liver and tube bones, for fear that Mrs. Xia would scold his father and go to his aunt's house to ask for the meat money back.

He came to Old Man Xia's side and said, "Master, when my sister's illness is cured, I can bask in the sun in the yard." ”

Xia Laohan became happy and said, "Okay, let your father leave more meat back tomorrow, and let your aunt and Lili come over for dinner." "Thinking about my granddaughter's illness and having to nurse for two more days, I can't be tired. He said, "The day after tomorrow, let the two of them come to dinner the day after tomorrow." ”

Xia Zhu happily agreed.

Mrs. Xia hurriedly said, "Lan Niang is not short of money, her family eats well, why is she embarrassed to come back and eat her mother's meat for nothing." The pillar doesn't need to keep meat, your eldest sister will go to the stall to buy meat and bring it to our family. ”

In Mrs. Xia's opinion, the girl will make money, and there is really no need to take advantage of her mother's family. Every time the girl and granddaughter go back to her parents' house for dinner, she will bring a piece of meat or twenty eggs, and she is used to it.

Xia Laohan's face darkened, and he reprimanded, "How much hardship has my daughter suffered for this family, and she almost died this time, why can't you even give them some meat when you are a father and grandmother?" He said to Xia Zhu again, "Don't listen to your mother, I'll leave two pig's feet and one meat tomorrow to make up for Lili's body." ”

Xia Zhu also felt sorry for his sister and niece, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Xia Laohan was a hunter when he was young, and when he was hunting, he was chased down the cliff by a wild boar, broke an arm and a leg, and almost died. Although he survived, he was also crippled, let alone hunting, and he couldn't even do heavy work. At that time, there was no land at home, and the children were still young, so Mrs. Xia secretly sold her daughter.

Fortunately, God has eyes, and the girl is back after seven years. Although she became a widow and brought a daughter, she came back with a sum of silver, and she had a good embroidery skill, which helped her mother's family, and the mother and daughter themselves lived a good life.

Mrs. Xia saw that the old man was unhappy, so she closed her mouth with a heavy face.

Xia Li didn't die, except for Xiao Yang's disappointed, the rest of the Xia family was happy that she was well. Even if Mrs. Xia didn't want to see her granddaughter and felt that she was squeamish and expensive, she was not ruthless enough to want her to die. Only Xiao Yang's family is secretly not angry, if that girl with many eyes dies, his son will definitely pass on to Xia Lanniang, it's a pity.

Xiao Yang didn't dare to say that he was looking forward to Xia Li's early death, but said to his youngest son Xia Sanbao, "Just you, look at how good the second tiger is, and often go to the aunt's house to eat well." ”

The third leopard roared unhappily, "I also want to eat good food, but my sister won't let me eat it." As soon as she had dinner, she threw me out. ”

The second tiger is also fine, as long as he sees the third leopard following him to his aunt's house, he will not stay there to eat. He knew that the second aunt was worried about the eldest aunt's family property, and the third leopard often said that if she wanted to marry after leaving her sister, the eldest aunt would rely on him to support her. Therefore, Sister Li doesn't like Xia Sanbao very much. If the three leopards are cheeky and want to stay to eat, Xia Li will unceremoniously pick people up.

Xiao Yang glanced at his youngest son and said, "Why did I give birth to you such a useless thing, don't leave if you chase you, I don't believe that your aunt can really let you watch them eat." He scolded again, "Leave that little white-eyed wolf, we are so good to her, but she doesn't remember any feelings." ”

Xia Tie listened to the conversation between his mother-in-law and his youngest son, so angry that he put down the bowl, and scolded Xiao Yang with a red face, "You stupid mother-in-law, you don't know how to teach your son how to learn how to make money on his own, and he is still worried about the food of his eldest sister's family, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you." After saying that, he picked up his fist and shook it.

Xia Laohan also scolded with a black face, "Stupid mother-in-law, if you dare to scold and leave, you will get out of here for me and you will not be allowed to eat." ”

Xiao Yang saw that his father-in-law and the man were angry, so he shut up.

Xia Laohan said to Xia Tie again, "Tiezi should also put more attention on the baby, don't let the greedy and stupid woman lead the baby crookedly." Lan Niang's widow is unemployed, but she also knows how to help Gu Niang's family, knows that she earns money to support her family, and does not worry about others. ”

The latter sentence put Mrs. Xia and Xiao Yang into it.

Xia Tie agreed, and glared at Xiao Yang and his youngest son again.

At night, Xia Li lay on the bed and opened his eyes, his pupils did not gather, but he could see all the furnishings in the house through the gauze tent. Even the things in the sewing basket can be seen clearly, but there is a slight yellow, like a thin layer of yellow yarn.

The small window opened a slit, and her gaze drifted there again, just in time to see the full moon in the sky. The full moon was a little yellower and larger than what she saw when she was "normal", and the impurities in it were more obvious.

When the original owner was seven years old, she suddenly discovered that as long as her pupils became empty, she could see objects two miles away during the day and three miles away at night.

At that time, the original owner and the Xia family were terrified. After thinking for a long time, Xia told the original owner not to let others know that she had this ability, otherwise she would be burned to death as a monster.

The original owner has always kept this secret deep in his heart, and he never dared to look into the distance with that kind of "gaze", even at night. Even the person who thinks she has such a difference is a monster.
