Chapter 6: Humility

Xia Ling glared at Xia Zhi next to her, "She's just a country girl!" ”

Xia Aiguo didn't agree, and looked at Xia Ling dissatisfied, "Sister, Sister Xia Zhi is also Dad's daughter, she is older than us, we should call her eldest sister." ”

How could Xia Ling not know this truth? She just doesn't like Xia Zhi in her heart, and she doesn't like to call Xia Zhi sister.

Standing on the side, Xia Aidang, who was full of curiosity, looked at everyone, and finally fell on Xia Zhi, and said curiously, "Who is this beautiful sister?" ”

Xia Aidang looked at Xia Aiguo suspiciously, "Why do you call her eldest sister?" ”

Xia Ling snorted coldly, sat down angrily, and stopped talking.

Xia Aiguo explained, "This is Sister Xia Zhi, and she is also Dad's daughter, but she was raised in the countryside before, you haven't seen it, and you will call her eldest sister in the future." ”

Xia Aidang nodded as if he didn't understand, and then smiled sweetly at Xia Zhi and shouted, "Eldest sister." ”

Xia Zhi also smiled back, "Hello." Then he took out a few white rabbit toffee from his pocket, and Xia Aidang couldn't move his eyes when he saw the toffee, staring directly at the toffee in Xia Zhi's hand.

Although the Xia family is not short of food and drink, in this era of lack of materials and ordinary poverty of everyone, the Xia family cannot often eat sugar.

Xia Zhi walked to Xia Aidang's side, touched his head, and then stuffed two candies in his hand, Xia Aidang's eyes were shining, and he thanked Xia Zhi, "Thank you, big sister!" ”

Xia Zhi then handed the remaining two candies in his hand to Xia Aiguo, Xia Aiguo's face was flushed, and he was a little embarrassed and said, "I, I won't eat it." ”

Xia Zhi smiled and stuffed the sugar into Xia Aiguo's hand, and Xia Aiguo thanked Xia Zhi shyly.

Xia Zhi looked at Xia Aiguo and Xia Aiguo, she didn't expect that Yang Xinyi, a narrow-minded woman, would have two sons with good character.

Then Xia Zhi looked at Xia Ling, "Do you want to eat sugar?" ”

Xia Ling was still targeting the summer solstice just now, although she wanted to eat, but where could she say it, she snorted coldly, don't look over her head and don't look at the summer solstice.

Xia Aidang carefully opened the candy wrapper, stuffed the milky white sugar cube inside into his mouth, and then looked satisfied, and his mouth made a snorting sound.

Xia Ling didn't want it, Xia Zhi naturally wouldn't rush to give it to her, so she sat on the sofa by herself, slowly peeled off the sugar, and the milky white sugar cube was stuffed into her mouth, a rich milk flavor, mixed with a faint sweetness, filled the entire mouth, and the delicate sweetness made people feel good, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces.

Yang Xinyi quickly prepared the meal, walked to the hall, and shouted to a few children sitting on the sofa, "It's time to eat, come and bring all the food to the table." ”

Xia Ling didn't move, she loved the party's young age, holding a blank piece of paper in her hand, playing with origami airplanes.

Only Xia Aiguo and Xia Zhi stood up, and the two walked to the kitchen together, Xia Aiguo walked to Xia Zhi's side, lowered his head slightly and whispered, "My mother has a bad temper, don't worry about it, eldest sister." ”

Xia Zhi smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and then asked, "Isn't Dad going home for dinner at night?" ”

Xia Aiguo said calmly, "Dad is often in the army and doesn't come back often." ”

Xia Solstice nodded and stopped talking.

For the summer solstice, these people are strangers, and for the previous summer solstice, although these people are relatives, they are more like strangers.

As long as Yang Xinyi doesn't do anything to hurt her, she won't care about Yang Xinyi.

The two walked to the kitchen, Yang Xinyi pointed to the fried vegetables and boiled polenta, and said to the two, "Take this to the table." Xia Solstice stepped forward, picked up the pot of green vegetables, and put it on the dining table in the hall, which was a pot of fried cabbage.

In winter, in addition to cabbage and radish, there are no other greens to eat, and there is no oil in the soup of this fried cabbage, which shows that the life of the Xia family is not very good.

Although Yang Xinyi is a nurse, she was not born well, and she is also the daughter of a peasant family, but the army was stationed there at that time, because there were some wounded people who needed to be taken care of, so some girls were recruited in the village at that time to train as nurses, and Yang Xinyi met Xia Jianye, who was seriously injured.

Xia Zhi had heard Grandma Xia nag, Yang Xinyi's mother's family went to Xia's house from time to time to play the autumn breeze, Yang Xinyi gave most of the salary she earned every month to her mother's family, plus there were three children to raise, the Xia family's life was naturally not very good.

Not to mention, I have to mail some money and food stamps to Grandma Xia who lives in the countryside every month, so the whole family has to tighten their belts to get by.

In wicker baskets were placed seven or eight nests, mixed with cornmeal, bean flour, and a small amount of white flour. The steamed bun is very large, and the summer solstice takes a bite, rough and a little.

Before the summer solstice, in Xiaoliu Village, they all secretly ate the food in the space, but in this era, food is expensive, and I don't know how many people starve to death every year, so it's good to have some to eat.

Xia Zhi ate the nest head in his hand cleanly, and only ate one bite of fried cabbage, Yang Xinyi was not only reluctant to put oil, but also reluctant to put more salt, and the cabbage had no taste.

Several children of the Xia family ate this meal calmly, which shows that they usually eat these.

Xia Aiguo just finished eating, and ran out, Yang Xinyi frowned and said, "Where are you going to go at night?" ”

Xia Aiguo smiled 'hehe', pretending to be deaf and dumb at Yang Xinyi's question, as if he hadn't heard it, and jumped outside the house in a few steps, Xia Aiguo chased closely behind, "Brother, brother, wait for me!" Wait for me! ”

After Xia Ling finished eating, she put aside the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and walked out.

Yang Xinyi's tone softened a lot this time, "It's so late, it's not peaceful outside, don't go out." ”

Xia Ling said impatiently, "Mom, don't care! ”

Yang Xinyi sighed, and didn't persuade her, thinking that this should not be the first time to come.

However, when Xia Ling was just about to step out of the door, her eyes rolled, her eyes fell on Xia Zhi, and then she smiled and said, "Do you want to play with me?" ”

Xia Zhi didn't raise his head and said, "I don't want to." ”

Xia Ling was choked for a moment, her expression was a little frozen, she didn't expect Xia Zhi to refuse, after all, Xia Zhi, a soil bun, had just come to the capital, she wanted to take her to play at night, and ordinary girls would not refuse this temptation.

Xia Ling's face turned cold, and she said in a low voice, "I don't know how to lift." He turned around and left.

Yang Xinyi also stood up and said to Xia Zhi, "Wash the pots and dishes." After saying that, she also went out, Xia Zhi guessed that she should be on the night shift.

There is no one in the house, the house is locked, and Yang Xinyi is not worried that Xia Zhi will steal the things in the house.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Xia Zhi stood up, put the leftover wowotou in the cupboard, washed the pots and bowls and put them away, and wiped the table with a rag.

It's not that Xia Zhi has a cowardly personality, but Xia Zhi can't live in Xia's house for a few days at this time, and besides, this meal is also made by Yang Xinyi, since she ate the food cooked by Yang Xinyi, it is nothing to wash the dishes and brush the pot, although she doesn't like it.
