In the evening, Xiaoxi walked out of Li Ji's shop with cheerful steps, thinking that today's shopkeeper not only praised her, but also gave her a salary increase, and the joy in her heart!

When passing by the pork stall, the bright smile on his face also infected the fierce-looking Niu Er, and he even laughed hehe, and the big scar mark on his face looked hideous, which scared the children who were eating candy on the side and quickly hid behind the adults.

"Xiaoxi, it's been a long time since I've seen you so happy!"

Niu Er was a little shy, and took the initiative to stop Xiao Xi who was about to walk by his stall, and Granny Li, who was selling vegetables next to him, broke Niu Er with disdain, "Shameless!" What is not easy to learn, learning rich and noble people like to break their backs! ”

Niu Er didn't care about the eyes of others, Xiaoxi didn't care much about him before, but today he not only smiled at him, but also shouted mischievously, "Second Brother Niu!" "I almost made him float, and I felt happier than selling all the pork at this time!

Xiaoxi and her mother Wei have been living a frugal life, since Xiaoxi can remember, they often move, and the person who came to inform them of the mother and daughter moving is the father who is not by their side all the year round, he is in a hurry every time, there has never been a father in Xiaoxi's world, only a mother who loves her very much, and the mother and daughter depend on each other!

Xiaoxi knew that her mother was having a hard and unfortunate life, but Wei had never complained about that person in front of her, and sometimes in the face of Xiaoxi's questioning, she also said for that person to ask Xiaoxi to be considerate of her father, saying that it was not easy for him! But this reason can only be perfunctory Xiaoxi who was ignorant and ignorant when he was a child.

As Xiaoxi grows up day by day, she no longer expects her father, who is related to her, to take care of them. She was very distressed that Wei in order not to let her mother work hard every day to make embroidery, she learned embroidery with Wei when she was very young, and now she does a lot of embroidery, although not as beautiful as her mother's embroidery, but she can also buy some silver to help her mother share some.

In fact, Xiaoxi is most proud of her young age has learned to calculate accounts, she is now the shopkeeper of Mr. Li's effective apprentice, she is smart, flexible, the most important thing is a good memory, so she is deeply loved by the shopkeeper, but she has to be careful every day for fear that others will know that she is a woman, otherwise she will be driven out by the shopkeeper, which store will use a woman as a buddy!

Recently, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the clothes are thinner, looking at the chest that is slowly bulging day by day, Xiaoxi is starting to worry again, she really doesn't want to be tied up and painful and hot, but when she thinks of earning a few taels of silver a month, she can only endure it. Wrapped her chest flat and put on her dark blue coarse cloth man's clothes, pushed open the door of Wei's bedroom, and Wei also sat up, lovingly and a little heartbroken as he watched his daughter take pity on Xiaoxi's collar.

"Mother, you are sleeping for a while, did you embroider late last night, I told you to do less embroidery, but you just didn't listen." Xiaoxi frowned and pouted, her bright eyes full of worry.

"Mother knows that my Xiaoxi is very capable, but your woman's appearance is always unconcealable, how uncomfortable it is for you to cover yourself so tightly, Xiaoxi, it's rare that we can live in one place for so long, and we haven't moved in the past three or four years, and your father will also give us silver, although it is not much, you don't have to ......"

Before Wei finished speaking, Xiaoxi jumped up from the edge of the bed, and argued with red eyes, "Mother, I said that I don't have a father, don't mention that person, I won't use the silver he gave, I have raised my salary again, I can support ourselves, and he had better never appear in front of us!" He walked out of the yard without looking back, ignoring Wei Shi shouting in the back.

Wei knows that since Xiaoxi is sensible, as long as her father is mentioned, Xiaoxi will completely turn his face with her, which is a thorn in Xiaoxi's heart and a pain in her life!

As long as Xiaoxi doesn't go to the shop to work, she and a few people who are familiar with her around will go to the nearby mountains to find herbs and buy them at the pharmacy. She never let herself be idle, she always thinks of ways to earn more money, she feels that this is very practical, at least she can support herself and her mother with her own hands.

Xiaoxi returned with a bamboo basket on his back, and he definitely wanted to show off the fruits of today's labor, and began to shout in the yard.

"Mother, I'll come back, you see I dug up a lot of herbs today, I'll go tomorrow to ......" Xiaoxi suddenly felt that the atmosphere at home was not right, put the bamboo basket in the yard and didn't even wash the mud on her hands and clothes, and entered the house in a few steps, and saw the person she didn't want to see the most.

Feng Ping sat at the table and looked at Xiao Xi who appeared in front of him with some surprise. He was in a trance for a while, it had been a few years since he had last left, this daughter of his had grown so big, but the eyes that looked like him, full of resentment, anger, and so many years of estrangement, made him not know how to speak.

Although Feng Ping is middle-aged, he is dressed in an inky short suit and is mentally tough, his appearance is still handsome, and his temperament is still outstanding and calm, but he is still a little flustered and helpless when he faces his daughter, who has grown up after a long time.

Xiaoxi looked at the man in front of him coldly, his face was very gloomy, thinking about why he was not dead yet, why did he appear in front of them again, he would not come to ask them to move again, she would never agree to him this time, even if the sword that never left his hand wanted to kill her, she would not agree!

As soon as Wei heard Xiaoxi's voice, his heart couldn't help sinking, and he quickly put down the kitchen knife in his hand and came out of the stove room and hurriedly entered the house.

"Xiaoxi, your father is back, call your father quickly!"

Wei Shi looked at Xiaoxi's cold eyes, knowing that she had a deep resentment towards her father, and even more aware of her bullish temper, so he explained to the people at the table with Yan Yuese

"Don't blame the child, she's not sensible!"

Xiaoxi looked at her mother aggrieved and sad, and couldn't believe that her mother didn't have a trace of resentment and anger towards that person, and she was so gentle and tolerant.

"Mother! How can you be so ............"

Wei Shi shouted sternly, "He's your father, why are you so ignorant!" ”

Wei rarely treats Xiaoxi so harshly, this roar made Xiaoxi also stunned, and then heard the person at the table say

"Don't blame the child, I'm sorry for you all these years!"

Xiaoxi's heart ached, and she didn't want to see this person, so she turned around and entered her room, and the stubborn tears in her eyes really didn't fall.

"Xiaoxi, why did you enter the house, you haven't had dinner yet," Wei replied with a loud slamming of the door.

Xiao Xi didn't eat at night, and just when she wanted to use some way to get rid of the man, Wei Shi took a bowl of rice and put it on the table, sighed lowly, stroked his daughter's white face, and persuaded seriously:

"Xi'er, I know that you hate him, hate him for ignoring us for so many years, hate him for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a father and husband, but all these things can't erase the fact that he is your real father!"

Xiaoxi turned around again with disapproval, only to hear Wei Shi continue, "Xi'er, your father also has his troubles, and I can't blame him for everything I do with your father, I only blame myself for having too many extravagant expectations, and you are too young to understand emotional matters." ”

Xiaoxi heard Wei's soft sobbing and hugged Wei tightly in pain, and also choked up, "Mother, he doesn't care about you, Xiaoxi cares about you, he doesn't love you, my daughter loves you, don't be sad,"

In the end, Xiaoxi compromised in Wei's tears, and only endured that person to stay, thinking that he would only stay for a few days like before, but she didn't expect that her father not only didn't stay for a few days this time, but also brought a person, and Wei was also very respectful in front of this person, and said, "Childe!" Son! Xiaoxi was big and upset for a while, and she secretly made up her mind that she would not serve this oil bottle uncle!

On this day, Xiaoxi brought the medicine to the table in the back room, and today Wei and Feng Ping are not there, so taking care of this person will be done by Xiaoxi for the time being, although she is extremely reluctant, but she will do what Wei said.

"Here's your medicine, drink it while it's hot."

Xiaoxi didn't hear the answer, standing at the table and secretly looking at the man sitting cross-legged on the bed, but he couldn't see the appearance clearly with a gauze hat all day long, after Xiaoxi's observation of this person in the past few days, he found that he had never taken off the gauze hat, and he hadn't heard him speak, but he looked at the figure to be slender and straight, this person gave her a feeling of indifference and distant, as if this person had been lonely for a long time, and that loneliness and his unknown identity made him more mysterious.

Xiaoxi stood for a while and found that this person had neither drunk medicine nor spoken, but he was asleep, thinking that he could not be deaf, so she pulled away her loud voice when she was digging herbs in the mountains and calling out to her partner.

"That big brother, I said that if you don't drink your medicine, it will be cold, and it will be even more bitter, I don't have candied fruit here, or ............"

"I'll drink it when I'm tired"

Xiaoxi heard a low magnetic voice coming over, and it took a long time to react that his voice was so good.

Although this is her family, this person gives her an extremely majestic feeling, which makes her feel a little unconvinced, but when she thinks of Wei's repeated advice, she endures it, thinking that this person and her father should leave in a short time, gritted her teeth and turned around and walked out.

These days, Xiaoxi is not in a hurry to go home after work, either staying at the house of a few of her friends, or wandering around the street, not wanting to go back to see the uninvited guests from the house, this day she wandered to a melon field, the original intention was to take advantage of no one to see the steal a melon and go back to eat to quench her thirst, but when I thought of the two people in the family, I was incompetent and unwilling to go back to share it with them, and I wanted to wait for it to get dark and directly take a small point to my house, and her mother quietly shared the food, but this person also fell asleep in the watermelon field, In addition, her thin body was completely covered by watermelon seedlings, until she was woken up by a burst of talking.

"He was hit by my Xuan Bing palm, he shouldn't be able to run far, he was told that he must see people alive and corpses when he dies, this person has a noble identity, if he can't find it again, I'm afraid that you and I will not be able to protect my little life!"

Xiaoxi didn't dare to gasp or move when she heard these atmospheres, for fear of being heard by those people, then she was afraid that she would really not be able to go home tonight, and it wasn't until those people had been gone for a long time that she got up and went home trembling.
