Chapter 323: Two Women
Huo Jiang still remembered that day when he was at a loss, and he remembered Xie Chan's clever smile: "Since the heavy snow closed the road, there has been no fish in Zhuangzi, and my aunt has always liked to drink fish soup. I didn't expect Huo Gongzi to misunderstand. ”
Until now, Huo Jiang still remembers how moved he was at that time, in addition to being moved, there was also pity for Xie Chan.
The aunt in Xie Chan's mouth is Xie Honglin's mother, Mrs. Xie is not in good health, but Xie Honglin, as a daughter, does not take it to heart, but Xie Chan, who is not related by blood, is doing her filial piety for her.
In addition to Xie Chan's sensible and filial piety, I think it will not be easy for her to live under the fence of the Xie family, otherwise this matter of digging ice and taking fish, just tell the subordinates, where can she use her cousin to do it herself.
"Miss Xie, do you still have relatives in the Guannei? When I get back, I can bring them a letter for you. Huo Jiang said what he wanted to say a long time ago.
Xie Chan bent her knees and bowed to Huo Jiang, her voice bitter: "When I was a child, I was abducted and trafficked, and I was raised outside the customs by my adoptive mother...... I can't remember who my name was. ”
At that time, Huo Jiang was only a teenager, although he was more calm than many teenagers of the same age, but he was still at the age of strong blood, hearing Xie Chan's words, he only felt that there seemed to be a taut string in his heart, which was violently pulled up and bounced away, which made him feel a heartache.
"I see that you have some Jiangnan accents, I think you should be from Jiangnan, and when I return to Jiangnan, I will ask someone to inquire and see which big family lost their daughter more than ten years ago, maybe they have been looking for you." Huo Jiang's voice trembled a little, he felt that this was the best way, and it was also what he could do for her.
Xie Chan behaves dignifiedly, even if she is not from a family in Jiangnan, she is also a girl from a scholarly family, such a family will not watch her daughter live in the ice and snow and send people under the fence.
Xie Chan's eyes flashed, in Huo Jiang's eyes at that time, this was the brilliance of hope, for a long time afterward, he never doubted the truth of Xie Chan's life experience, and he always believed that Xie Chan was abducted and trafficked when she was ignorant and ignorant, and she had long forgotten where her hometown was.
Xie Chan smiled sadly, but she was as delicate as a willow in the wind, she shook her head at Huo Jiang with tears in her eyes: "Huo Gongzi still doesn't have to, I miss Gongzi's good intentions, but if my uncle and aunt know that I still think about my biological parents, they will definitely be angry, and then my life will be even more difficult, I'm afraid ......"
"No, no, no, don't be afraid, when I find your family, I will quietly arrange for them to come to Guanwai to recognize you, I have studied in Wuxi, so a few classmates are also from a famous family in Jiangnan, I wrote to the past, let them help find it, you will be able to find it, you are still young, you have to have confidence." Huo Jiang was very excited, Xie Chan in front of her was a helpless silk flower, she needed someone to help her, support her, give her support, and give her hope.
Xie Chan's tears dripped down like pearls with broken threads, she cried silently, Huo Jiang was flustered, and wanted to hand her a square handkerchief, but when he pulled out his sleeves, he remembered that he was a man who would carry a handkerchief with him.
Xie Chan took out her handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and said to Huo Jiang with some embarrassment: "I just felt nostalgic for my life for a while, which made Huo Gongzi smile." Everyone's life is different, Lin'er's life is very good, she has been the pearl of her parents since she was a child, and in two or three years, she will marry her cousin of the Gao family and become a young grandmother in the snowy mountain villa, and she will enjoy endless glory and wealth in her life. And I only hope that my uncle and aunt can remember my deceased adoptive mother, and don't marry me to a bandit casually, even if it is just a farmer from a small family, I am satisfied. ”
Speaking of this, Xie Chan's tears burst out of her eyes again, she probably didn't want Huo Jiang to see her embarrassment, covered her face with a handkerchief, and ran on the ice step by step.
Huo Jiang looked at her back as she gradually moved away, and his heart was mixed.
How could the Xie family marry Xie Chan to a farmer from a small family? As Xie Chan said, they are likely to find a powerful bandit leader and marry Xie Chan, which can not only win people's hearts, but also have a good reputation for accumulating virtue and doing good deeds to raise orphan girls.
No, it can't be like this, Xie Chan is such a good woman, it is impossible for her to fall into this field.
Huo Jiang didn't want to stay here for a day, he wanted to go back as soon as possible, ask Jiangnan's classmates, find her relatives for Xie Chan, restore Xie Chan's rightful identity, and let her be a good daughter of someone else, not the wife of a bandit leader.
But for the next three days, Mr. Xie didn't call Huo Jiang over again, Huo Jiang was very anxious, but there was no way. The people who came to him were dumb, and when he asked about Mr. Xie, the dumb people would only shake their heads.
Huo Jiang thought about it, these people were not from Mr. Xie's side, and he didn't know about Mr. Xie when he thought about it.
When he didn't know what to do, he actually met Xie Honglin near the small courtyard.
Xie Honglin pouted and walked slowly, and the two little girls followed from a distance. Xie Honglin looked left and right, looking bored.
Seeing him, Xie Honglin was stunned, and then glared: "Why are you here?" ”
Huo Jiang frowned, this girl really doesn't know what to do, she knew that I wouldn't paint that bamboo for you.
"I live in the yard next to it, can't I walk here?" Huo Jiang said angrily.
Under the sun, Xie Honglin was dressed in red, and her face was also red, like the morning glow, but Huo Jiang had no intention of appreciating the beauty in front of him, he turned his face away and looked at the snowman who didn't know who had built it on the side.
"No, I didn't expect to meet you here...... The bamboo you painted is very good, I like it very much, and my father and my mother also said that the painting is good...... I can already embroider bamboo, and I can learn how to make socks...... If you don't have socks to wear, I can make you a pair...... Gee, I mean give you the pair I made for my dad that didn't fit......"
She said upside down, Huo Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Ling Zun and Ling Tang are not in good health, don't you have to serve by their side?" ”
Xie Honglin was stunned, flattened her mouth, and lowered her head a little aggrieved: "They talked in the house and blew me out......"
This was something Huo Jiang didn't expect, and he suddenly found that the aggrieved appearance of the little girl in front of him was not annoying.
"After I moved in, Fauber asked people to send me clothes, shoes and socks, and I still have socks to wear, so I don't bother Miss Xie."
Xie Honglin sighed, as if she was very disappointed: "I know, you are all the same, you all say so, I don't have to do anything, I don't have to take care of anything, I will be fourteen years old next month, and I will already be an adult." ”
She lowered her head and continued to walk forward listlessly, Huo Jiang shook her head helplessly, what a spoiled little girl, if you were like Xie Chan, looking at people's faces all day long, you wouldn't think like this.
