Chapter 9: Let's Go to the Capital
Yang Xinyi heard that Xia Zhi was going to ask her for money for food, and immediately said angrily, "You stinky girl, have you forgotten that your father and I give you a lot of food stamps and money every month, if it weren't for me and your father, you would have starved to death, and you would have dared to ask me for money?" Facing Yang Xinyi's questioning, Xia Zhi did not panic, and said slowly, "Aunt Yang has forgotten that grandma is my father's mother, and I am my father's daughter, shouldn't he raise us?" ”
When Yang Xinyi heard this, she immediately slapped the table, "Then I am still your mother, shouldn't you honor me?" ”
Xia Zhi nodded, "That's right, it's just that Aunt Yang doesn't remember, in the past few years, the food stamps and money you and your father have sent to your grandmother have been less than half or more, and you will give that money every month, if it weren't for me and my grandmother planting some land, I'm afraid we would all starve to death." ”
Yang Xinyi heard Xia Zhi's words, and swallowed back the words that she just wanted to blurt out, no one knew better than Yang Xinyi why the money for the old lady's pension was so much less, only to see Yang Xinyi not speak, and sneered.
"If Aunt Yang doesn't want this matter to be too ugly, just do what I say."
Yang Xinyi bullied Xia Zhi at a young age, and her eyes rolled, "Stinky girl, we have indeed sent less food stamps and money to our mother in recent years, but we didn't mean to, now life is so difficult, we still have to raise three children, our situation is also difficult, we are also willing to give our mother more food stamps and money, but we also have to live, you have to understand us!" ”
Xia Zhi looked at Yang Xinyi with a smile, and said slowly, "Aunt Yang, I know you think I'm a country girl, so you think I'm easy to deceive, don't you?" ”
Then without waiting for Yang Xinyi to speak, Xia Zhi continued, "But have you forgotten that I am the first college student in Xiaoliu Village to be admitted to university, and I don't believe a word of what you just said, if you dare to quibble, I will write to my father now and ask him if he knows about this matter?" ”
When Yang Xinyi heard Xia Zhi's words, she was immediately frightened, her face was flushed, but she didn't dare to say a word.
The old lady Xia next to her sighed, looked at the direction where Yang Xinyi was sitting with a pair of eyes, and said, "What nonsense, Xia Zhi, this kid asks you to give money, you will give money, if you don't give it, I will write a letter to that unfilial son." ”
Yang Xinyi was still a little scared in the end, she didn't say a word when she heard the words, she just took out a dollar from her pocket, and Xia Zhi smiled and gave Yang Xinyi a bowl of porridge.
After Yang Xinyi had a full meal, she simply washed up and went to sleep, and after sitting in the car for most of the day, she was really tired. Xia Zhi helped Mrs. Xia back to her house, the old lady sat on the edge of the bed, took Xia Zhi's hand and sighed, "Xia Zhi, grandma knows that you are for my good, and I am sorry for grandma, but grandma is so old, and I don't want to worry about her so much, don't tell your father about that matter, family and everything, do you understand?" ”
Xia Zhi looked at the kind old man in front of her, although she felt unhappy for what happened to the old lady Xia, but she still understood the old lady's words, although she didn't think it was right to do this, but since the old lady insisted, Xia Zhi still nodded and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't say it." ”
Old Mrs. Xia nodded with a smile and told Xia Zhi, "Good boy, go to bed early." ”
Xia Zhi nodded, then fetched a basin of water for Mrs. Xia, and took care of Mrs. Xia to wash up before returning to her house. Mrs. Xia doesn't like Yang Xinyi's daughter-in-law, Yang Xinyi has rarely come back with three children for so many years, the old lady is a strong person, sometimes even if she misses her grandchildren, she will endure it.
In recent years, Yang Xinyi has been harshly deducting Xia Jianye's food stamps and money to the old lady, and the old lady Xia also knows that in order not to cause trouble for her son, the old lady Xia endured it.
Early the next morning, Yang Xinyi returned to the capital with a cold face without eating, and only arrived home in the evening, and the three children were very happy to see Yang Xinyi back.
Xia Ling greeted her with a smile, "Mom, you're finally back, I'm dying of hunger, you hurry up and cook." ”
Yang Xinyi sat in the car for most of the day, her body was full of exhaustion, and when she heard Xia Ling's words, Yang Xinyi still said, "Okay, okay, you go play for a while, Mom will wash her hands and cook." ”
Xia Jianye came back during the meal, Xia Jianye sat at the dining table and asked Yang Xinyi, "Why did you come back so soon?" Is it done? ”
Yang Xinyi was stunned for a moment when she heard Xia Jianye's words, and silently organized the language in her heart, she didn't

I really wanted to tell Xia Jianye about Xia Zhi's admission to university, after all, this is a glorious thing and something to be proud of, but Yang Xinyi didn't want Xia Zhi to leave any good impression in Xia Jianye's heart, so she only frowned and said, "Our mother disagreed, saying that if Xia Zhi got married, there would be no one to take care of her, and I thought about it, so I didn't continue to persuade her." ”
Xia Jianye frowned and said, "Xia Zhi is also eighteen, sooner or later he will get married, he can't stay at home to serve our mother all the time, otherwise, let's take our mother to the capital, you take care of her, let Xia Zhi marry, don't drag Xia Zhi down, what if Xia Zhi becomes an old girl in the future, what can I do?" ”
When Yang Xinyi heard this, she was willing to agree, but she couldn't say it clearly, if she refused openly, it would be offended Xia Jianye. Yang Xinyi hurriedly laughed and persuaded, "Don't worry, since Xia Zhi grew up, Xia Zhi is taking care of our mother, and our mother is used to taking care of Xia Zhi, if you let Xia Zhi marry coldly, my mother is probably not used to it, besides, our mother doesn't like to come to live in the capital." ”
When Xia Jianye heard this, he said unhappily, "It is said that raising children to prevent old age, now that my mother is old, my son is also a little promising, and it is time to take her old man to the city to enjoy the blessings, you don't have to persuade this matter anymore, so it is decided, I will personally go back to my hometown in two days and take our mother and Xia Zhi over." ”
Yang Xinyi was about to refute when she heard it, but it can be seen that Xia Jianye looked insistent, so Yang Xinyi held back her anger and didn't speak.
The next day, Hu Lina heard that Yang Xinyi was back, so she came to see Yang Xinyi in a hurry.
When Yang Xinyi saw Hu Lina, she said angrily, "It's all your fault, what kind of swishing idea you have, now our Lao Xia is going to take his mother over for me to take care of, I not only have to take care of the three children, but also help my mother's family, how can I have time to serve that blind old lady?" ”
Hu Lina was very annoyed when she saw that Yang Xinyi dared to lose her temper at her, but thinking of her purpose, Hu Lina smiled again, "Eldest sister, you can't blame me for this, I didn't expect it to be like this, but did Xia Zhi agree to this marriage?" ”
Yang Xinyi frowned, "Don't mention it, how could that girl agree to get married after being admitted to college?" ”
When Hu Lina heard this, her mind sank, and she knew that things were not so simple, and the woman Xia Zhi was not so easy to compromise.
Hu Lina thought about it, and said with a regretful face, "Eldest sister, since Xia Zhi is unwilling, then forget it, my cousin is not a person who can't marry a daughter-in-law, my aunt's family is rich, and in order to marry my cousin's daughter-in-law, they have prepared thousands of yuan." ”
When Yang Xinyi heard this, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't believe it, "Thousands of yuan? Just marry a daughter-in-law, can you use so much money? ”
Hu Lina smiled and said, "Sister, didn't I just say it? My aunt's family has money, and as long as my cousin can find a good daughter-in-law, spending a few thousand yuan is nothing to their family. ”
Hearing Hu Lina say this, Yang Xinyi couldn't help but think of the face of Xia Zhi, if it was before, Yang Xinyi really didn't dare to pack a ticket, Hu Lina's cousin could take a fancy to Xia Zhi, but this time she went back to see Xia Zhi's little girl, it was really different from when she was a child, the longer she grew, the more beautiful she became, even
Yang Xinyi couldn't help but look up at Hu Lina, and compared Hu Lina with Xia Zhi in her heart, thinking that Xia Zhi was more beautiful, Xia Zhi was more beautiful than Hu Lina, and Hu Lina's cousin should be able to see it.
Hu Lina saw Yang Xinyi's pensive face, her eyes rolled, and she said, "Eldest sister, I told my aunt before, and my aunt said that if this marriage can be successful, she will definitely wrap a big red envelope for you, at least 1,000 yuan." ”
"Really?" Yang Xinyi looked surprised, but when she thought that the stinky girl on the summer solstice didn't agree to this marriage, wouldn't it mean that her 1,000 yuan would be gone.
These words are naturally Hu Lina's deception of Yang Xinyi, but if Yang Xinyi can be coaxed to facilitate this marriage, then Hu Lina will not mind giving Yang Xinyi 1,000 yuan as a reward, as long as it can make the summer solstice unlucky, Hu Lina will let it go.
Yang Xinyi's face was sad, and she scolded in her mouth, "That dead girl just has a lot of things, aren't girls going to marry in the future, what's the use of her going to college as a country girl?" ”
Hu Lina smiled and said, "Eldest sister, don't you know that my cousin is excellent, not only a worker, but also handsome, I think you should take Xia Zhi over and live for a few days, so that the two of them can meet, in case this marriage really happens, the 1,000 yuan will be yours."
Yang Xinyi thought

When Xia Jianye asked her to take Mrs. Xia to live in the capital, it was better to let Xia Zhi come with her, so Yang Xinyi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it, and when that girl comes, I'll tell you." ”
Hu Lina said happily, "Okay, eldest sister, I'll wait for your news, when the summer solstice comes, you tell me, and I will arrange for the two of them to meet." ”
A few days later, Xia Jianye personally came to Xiaoliu Village to pick up Mrs. Xia to live in the capital.
As soon as he entered the door, Xia Jianye saw a young and beautiful girl washing clothes in the courtyard, the little girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin and clean and delicate features.
Xia Jianye was a little stunned when he saw the little girl, and he didn't understand whose child this little girl was, and she was actually helping her mother wash her clothes.
Seeing the man standing at the door, Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, then stood up recently, and then shouted lightly, "Dad." Xia Jianye was shocked, he didn't expect that the child who washed his mother's clothes again turned out to be his daughter, is this still the little girl with sallow skin and a little thin?
I didn't expect that after a few years, the little girl had already looked so beautiful, Xia Jianye nodded, and then asked, "Where is your grandma?" ”
Xia Zhi said, "Grandma is sleeping in the house. ”
Xia Jianye raised his feet and entered the house, and after a while, Xia Zhi heard the sound of Mrs. Xia and Xia Jianye talking in the house, Xia Zhi did not go in to disturb the mother and son talking, but silently went to the kitchen to prepare meals.
After a while, Xia Jianye came out of the house, his eyes were red as if he had cried.
Xia Zhi's face was calm, without the slightest excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time, in the face of such a summer solstice, Xia Jianye actually felt a little nervous, coughed lightly, and just wanted to say something, Xia Zhi took the initiative to speak, "The meal is ready, let's eat." ”
After Xia Zhi finished speaking, he brought all the meals in the kitchen to the small table in the yard, the weather was a little stuffy in summer, and many families liked to eat in the yard, but there were some mosquitoes.
Xia Jianye saw that Xia Zhi didn't want to pay attention to him, sighed, and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Xia Jianye helped Mrs. Xia out of the house, sat on the stool next to the dining table in the courtyard, and when eating, Xia Jianye said to Xia Zhi, "Xia Zhi, Dad didn't expect you to be admitted to college, you are so amazing, give Dad a long face." ”
Xia Zhi was not happy or sad when he heard this, and only said lightly, "It's nothing." ”
Xia Jianye nodded, feeling that Xia Zhi's temperament was a little cold, and then continued, "Since you are going to college, I plan to take your grandmother to live in the capital." ”
Xia Zhi glanced at Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia did not object, she was obviously persuaded by Xia Jianye, since this is the case, Xia Zhi will no longer be the villain.
Xia Zhi had thought about it before, if she went to college, she would find someone in the village to take care of Mrs. Xia, wash and cook for Mrs. Xia every day, and then give a little money to the person who took care of her, and the people who wanted to come to the village should be willing.
However, Xia Jianye is Mrs. Xia's own son after all, and Xia Jianye is willing to take Mrs. Xia to live in the capital, which is no better.
Mrs. Xia on the side finally spoke, "Xia Zhi, you go with grandma, if grandma leaves with your father and leaves you alone, grandma is not at ease." ”
Saying that, Mrs. Xia said to Xia Jianye, "You are not a filial son, you don't know, you haven't come back for a few years, there is a second-rate son in the village, who has always pestered our family for the past two years, and knocked on the door of our courtyard at night, if I leave, leave the child Xia Solstice at home alone, in case the second-rate son comes again, what should I do?" ”
Xia Jianye became angry when he heard this, after all, he was Xia Zhi's father, and when he heard that his daughter was being entangled and bullied by a second-rate son, he would naturally be angry, and immediately glared at Mrs. Xia and asked, "Mom, what's the name of that second-rate son?" I'll go to him in a while, dare to bully our Xia family, I've grown ambitious leopard guts! ”
Mrs. Xia said, "That second-rate son is called Cui Da, and he lives in the most dilapidated house in the east of the village. ”
Cui Da is a well-known second-rate son in the village, he has not married a daughter-in-law in his 30s, his family is too poor, and he is lazy and lazy, and he earns little work, so it would be good to be able to support himself.
In the past two years, the summer solstice has become more and more beautiful, and Cui Da has taken a fancy to the summer solstice, and often says something out of tune, so that he has been taught by the cadres in the village and the elders of the Xia family, and he has restrained himself a little, but sometimes when he sees the summer solstice, he can't help but stare at the summer solstice with that obscene gaze.
