Chapter 17: Candied Cherries (1)

When the mother and son returned to the room, Mrs. Xia was still angry: "I really raised a group of white-eyed wolves." Subsidize them so much every year that it can't fill their stomachs.

Xia Ruixi said: "Mother, after reading today's incident, my daughter has an idea that I don't know whether to talk about it or not, it's about our family." Seeing that Mrs. Xia did not object, she said: "Now grandma is in her sixties, and her health is not as good as day by day." The brothers are older, they have started their own families, and they have their own wives and children.

Our Rui Yu will soon be married, and there are more and more people eating, but there are still a few people who do things. Doing more and less in the house is the same, everyone has their own little abacus, they don't want to do things, and they change their ways to get benefits, so in the past, it is a trivial matter to scatter all the money, but I am afraid that the house will be uneasy.

Mrs. Xia remained silent: "Then you say, what should I do?"

Xia Ruixi said: "Although my father divided the original ancestral property in the public middle school, but for so many years, he has not really distinguished it, which is also the reason why he has to gain an inch over there, and he is at ease without getting anything." We should still take advantage of the fact that grandma is still there, the bridge to the bridge, and the road to the road, to make what should be said clearly and what should be divided. What should be taken from the public will be taken from the public, and what should not be taken from the public, not a single child will think about it, let alone dig it from our house. If there is not enough in the public school, everyone will share it equally, eat according to their ability, and do not raise idlers. I never used our family's money to subsidize others, and we had to let people give a cold face and point fingers.

Mrs. Xia nodded: "I have long meant this, but your father has always refused." ”

Xia Ruixi smiled: "Daddy just can't pull that face." What if the big house starts up first? Anyway, in the end, it is going to offend people, so it is better to offend sooner, and it will be easier to talk when the time comes. ”

Mrs. Xia glanced at her twice, and said slowly, "Why did you suddenly open up today?" "This second daughter, before she fell off the horse, she was babbling, she put everything on her face, and for a while after falling from the horse, she was in a daze, always in a daze, and then she was silent about everything, and it was rare to express her thoughts so clearly. Previously, she was worried about what Xia Ruixi would do if she went to the Ou family, but now it seems that she doesn't have to worry so much.

Xia Ruixi lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Isn't my daughter going to get married?" My younger brother is still young, my father is away all the year round, you support such a big family by yourself, and you have to be angry, and your daughter is worried. I always want to share your worries, but there is no good way.

It turned out that her daughter had really grown up, Mrs. Xia was stunned, then her eyes turned red, and she lowered her head to wipe away her tears: "I didn't give birth to you in vain, if your sister is as sensible as you, I will rest assured." ”

Xia Ruixi was so sour by her crying that she persuaded: "Don't cry." Actually, Beibei is quite pitiful. Can't we think of any other way? ”

Mrs. Xia shook her head: "Then the Sun family is not vegetarian, can I still buy murder?" I really can't delay it and say it again, but it just delayed the youth of the three girls in vain. ”

As he was talking, Zhen'er shouted outside: "Third Miss, come and say hello to Madame?" You're not going in? ”

Xia Ruibei hurriedly said something and went without coming in.

Mrs. Xia and Xia Ruibei were still awkward in their hearts, and they didn't care about her, and continued to work with Xia Ruixi on how to make the big house make trouble first. Originally, Mrs. Xia did this alone, but she had the heart to train Xia Ruixi, so she naturally wanted to drag Xia Ruixi to make suggestions.

Mrs. Xia first ordered someone to separate the account books on both sides, and then asked someone to humiliate Shen'er, and said something very ugly for Shen'er to bring back to the Wang family.

At night, Mrs. Xia told Mr. Xia about Wanfu Pawnshop and the old lady's joke about Xia Ruixi's anger, and deliberately said: "It's really ugly for sister-in-law to say something, as if your uncle took his nephew's property to his daughter." Listening to what my mother meant, it's a little strange that we have treated Rui Zhu badly. ”

Master Xia was irritable for a while: "She is that bit of knowledge, do you care about her?" ”

Mrs. Xia pursed her lips and smiled: "How can I worry about her?" If I really care about her, this family must not fall out? I'm thinking, now that she's messing around like this, there will be Beibei going out of the cabinet in the future, Rui Yu is going to marry, and she is going to make trouble again, but what should I do? Also, if my mother is confused one day and can't control her, she is the eldest sister-in-law, and she makes trouble regardless of it, everyone's face is really ugly. If you know, you will say that she is unreasonable, and if you don't know, you will insist that we are encroaching on their family property, but what should we do? Rui Yan is still young, and there is only one, so I am quite worried. ”

Master Xia kept his face calm and silent, and Mrs. Xia stopped mentioning it with interest. Her purpose is to remind him that the big house is like a pack of hungry wolves, the little industry in the public middle school is far from filling their stomachs, Mrs. Xia's body is not as good as day by day, and the separation is imminent, so she must plan early.

On the second day, Mrs. Xia got up early in the morning, and one thing was to order someone to tell Xia Ruizhu that he would not have to go to Wanfu Pawnshop from today onwards, nor would she say that she would arrange another errand for him. Then he waited for the Wang family to come to the door to make trouble.

Who knows for some reason this time, the Wang family was not fooled, disappeared, and never came out. Mrs. Xia and Xia Ruixi guessed that it must be the idea given to her by Xia Ruiyan, the second son of the Wang family. But Mrs. Xia set her a trap, she just wanted to escape, but it was not so easy.

Xia Ruizhu's wife, Jiang, because she was pregnant, used to eat whatever she wanted at home, and she could eat as much as she wanted. It was autumn, and she wanted to eat cherries on a whim, and when she heard that there was a shop that bought candied cherries, she asked the kitchen to buy them, regardless of whether they cost a silver tael or a small jar. The kitchen listened to it and went to the account room to pay the money, but the account room did not give money, and the money to buy snacks for the young master and young ladies this month was overspent, and Mrs. said that it is difficult to do business now, and whoever overspends will be paid out.

The kitchen returned truthfully. When the Jiang family heard this, this was okay, she was pregnant with the Xia family's grandson and grandson, and it happened that Xia Ruizhu had nothing to do, and she stayed at home all day, so she went to Xia Ruizhu to cry.

If in the past, when Xia Ruizhu was still working in the shop, he had plenty of money, and he wouldn't take it seriously, just take the silver from her and let people buy it. Now he has nothing to do, plus he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, he didn't have to save money, and he didn't save much silver. His hand was tight, and he thought that he couldn't let Jiang be like this, so he said two words about Jiang, Jiang said two words, Jiang said that he was unproductive, and his tone was snarky, so Xia Ruizhu gave her a little bit.

This time it can stab the hornet's nest, Jiang cried and made trouble, looking for death and life, and made trouble in front of Wang, asking Wang to call the shots for her.

Originally, the Wang family was not without money, she was a money-loving master, and she had saved a lot of private houses over the years, as long as she was willing to take out some private houses to subsidize her son and daughter-in-law, there would be nothing to do. But she didn't think so, she hated the second room with all her heart, that is, the second room was mean to their room, not only cut Xia Ruizhu's errand, but also didn't give her anything to eat.

But at this time, the Wang family still remembered Xia Ruiyan's words, and looked for the old lady more in everything, and did not directly confront Mrs. Xia, so he cleaned up and took the Jiang family to the old lady's room. Who knew that on the road, I saw Xia Ruixi taking Xia Ruixi to sit in the roadside pavilion to watch the chrysanthemums, and when I saw the two, Xia Ruixi smiled and asked the aunt and sister-in-law to sit down and enjoy the flowers and eat together.

Wang's heart was irritable and wanted to refuse, but he saw Xia Ruiyu holding a blue and white jar in his arms, scooping out a red finger-sized fruit with a small silver spoon and feeding it into his mouth, squinting his eyes and saying, "It's so sweet." "What is that not a candied cherry?

When Jiang saw this, he hugged his stomach and his mouth was deflated, and he shouted aggrievedly: "Mother-in-law." ”

Wang said quietly: "Rui Yu, what are you eating?" ”

Xia Ruiyu handed the jar to the Wang family and the Jiang family: "Auntie, sister-in-law eats cherries, candied cherries, the famous candied cherries in the city." It's precious, a tael of silver is only a small jar. Taste it, and if you like, I'll have two more jars, one for each of you. ”

Wang smiled: "Who bought it for you?" ”

Xia Ruiyu said: "Naturally, it's the kitchen." I woke up this morning and heard about candied cherries, and suddenly I wanted to eat this, so I asked Xia Hong and the kitchen to say that I would buy them in less than half an hour. ”

Wang said: "Didn't you buy it at your own expense? ”

Xia Ruiyu said: "Why do you want me to pay for it?" Naturally, someone bought it for me, and besides, where did I have the money? Auntie, do you want it? A nephew honors you for a can? ”

Wang smiled, took a can with his own hands, and took Jiang with him.

Xia Ruixi saw that Wang was smiling proudly, so he asked Xia Ruixi: "Second sister, the eldest aunt is smiling strangely." How did you suddenly think of asking the kitchen to buy candied cherries today? I bought it and didn't eat it, but it was cheaper for me. ”

Xia Ruixi said: "It's none of your business, go to study after eating!" Be careful if you are caught by your father, and you will be punished for squatting. ”

Xia Ruiyu stuck out his tongue: "You are not allowed to regret the matter of the horse you told you last time." ”

Xia Ruixi said: "I am also conditional, you must teach me, otherwise you won't give it." ”

Xia Ruiyu touched his head: "What's so difficult about this?" As long as you're not that stupid. ”

The sister and brother didn't say a few words of gossip before they heard a commotion in the old lady's room, and Wang's voice could be heard from afar. "Mother, you have to call the shots for us! Rui Zhu's daughter-in-law is still pregnant with your great-grandson, you said that the Xuan family is harsh, who is not good, but you want to harsh her! Lo and behold! Lo and behold! The pregnant sister-in-law can't eat one, but the lively brother-in-law holds three cans to eat alone! I was so scared that I was ...... O my miserable grandson! Your father and mother are unproductive, so you will be hungry at a young age......"

Where is this? Xia Ruixi was secretly amused when he heard it, and pushed Xia Ruiyu: "Go, go back to your room with your jar." ”

Xia Ruiyu was like a ghost: "Don't, the last time I watched a play was at my uncle's house." I'm going to see which one my aunt wants to sing today. ”

Xia Ruixi whispered: "A bloody case caused by a cherry." ”

"What did you say?" Xia Ruizhu's ears were sharp, and he leaned over curiously, "What did you just say?" How about a cherry? ”

Xia Ruixi clapped his hands and raised his voice: "I said that a cherry is also worth making trouble like this!" It's not that they don't have money! ”

As he was talking, Orange ran over: "Fourth young master, second young lady, the old lady invites the two of you to go." After speaking, he invited Mrs. Xia to go.
