"It's eaten, it's eaten." With the sound of a gentle clatter of chopsticks, the woman came out of the room and looked out with a flattering expression. The face is a little dark that is unique to the mountain people, but the hair is combed very smoothly, and the latest hair oil is smeared, which looks much more decent than the people next to the mountains.

The woman smiled flatteringly, the folds of her face almost piled together.

"Got it, it's coming!" Impatient voice, this is not Xu Xia, naturally, the woman's face is full of smiles and flatters her.

It was a half-grown teenager, with long hair covering his eyes, his face was full of pimples spitting his breath, there was a stud on his ear, and there was a faint smell of inferior smoke between his words, and the place where the boy had just sat was smoky, and it had not completely dispersed.

The young man's name is Xu Bin, Xu Xia's younger brother, sixteen years old, dropped out of school at home, has nothing to do all day, and the woman who spoke was Xu Xia's adoptive mother.

The adoptive mother doted on this son to the extreme, so much so that the sixteen-year-old boy spent the rest of his days at home in addition to fighting, fighting, eating and waiting for death.

In the house, the girl brought all the food to the table, and then stood still at the table, and did not speak, but stood quietly at the table.

The adoptive mother brought her younger brother in, looked at her with some disgust, and said "loss money" in her mouth, and looked at her good son in a blink of an eye, with a smile on her face.

The girl is used to such differential treatment, and she doesn't speak, her eyes are like a pool of spring water, gentle and calm, the ancient well has no waves, and the softness makes people look at it at a glance, as if they are about to fall in, and the facial features are very standard when you look at them, and they are not so amazing when combined.

It's just that it's very attractive, so people don't like it, and the longer you look at it, the more joy you get. This is Xu Xia.

"Sister, sit down and eat together." Xu Bin raised his chopsticks, saw that Xu Xia was still clubbing, frowned, and still greeted him.

The girl raised her eyes and glanced at her adoptive mother, who glanced at her, she was a little timid.

"No, you can eat, I'll wait until you're done."

"Okay, then I'll eat first." seemed to be used to it, Xu Bin didn't say much, and continued to eat by himself with peace of mind. The adoptive mother raised her eyebrows: "Since you don't eat it, why don't you go and wash all the clothes that have been washed, what are you doing here, it's really an eyesore." ”

Xu Xia raised her eyes again, her adoptive mother's eyes were fierce, the girl didn't dare to say anything, turned around and went to the backyard.

Something hit on his back, it was the chopsticks in his adoptive mother's hand, Xu Xia didn't speak, bit his lower lip, tears rolled in his eyes, and Xu Xia held back very angrily.

"Hmph, it's a money-losing product, it's an eyesore to see it." The adoptive mother is still upset.

The clothes in the backyard are not small, the clothes of the family, including the underwear that Xu Bin changed out, the man's unique body odor, Xu Bin doesn't love cleanliness very much, it is very heavy, Xu Xia washed clothes, and big tears fell.

It is true that Xu Xia was not born to this family, she was lost when she was three years old, and in the county seat, she was picked up by her adoptive father who was doing business in the county, the adoptive father was a simple person, he had not married a wife in his thirties, and suddenly saw a child, even if his face was dirty, he could see that the foundation was very good-looking.

I like it very much, look at the good-looking she is wearing, a small delicate jacket, it is not cheap at first glance, I hold a beautiful doll as good as her, and I am afraid that it is a lost child, I took the child to wait in the county for two days, and I didn't wait, so I took it away.

At first, the adoptive father planned to send her to the welfare home, but the child didn't recognize anyone, only recognized this honest mountain man who held her in the ice and snow to keep her warm, and when he arrived at the welfare home, he couldn't stop crying, holding his adoptive father's thigh and refusing to let go.

The welfare institute also looked different, just thinking that it was an irresponsible father who didn't want to raise a child, and wanted to send the child here so that he could leave in the name of picking up the child, so he impatiently threw him away.

The adoptive father looked at the little doll with a crying face in his arms, looked at him with a pair of big eyes, softened his heart, and brought it home.

Since then, the adoptive father has had a girl, and the girl doesn't remember where her home is, nor does she remember her relatives at home, she only remembers her name as Nian Xia, and she doesn't remember much about her parents' names and what they look like.

A car accident wiped out all her memories of home. The adoptive father felt that the name that was too complicated was not easy to support, so he simply simplified it, followed his surname, and changed his name to Xu Xia.

In the days when her adoptive father was there, he was very good to her, and his family was not rich, but his adoptive father was afraid of wronging her, and he doubled his money every day, and he was also meticulous to her, and Xu Xia was beautiful in those days.

But not long after, the adoptive father got married, and the current adoptive mother was married, the adoptive father's family was poor, no one wanted to marry him, the adoptive mother was a widow, and when she came, she brought a child, that is, Xu Bin, whose surname was Liu, and after he came, he got the surname with his adoptive father, called Xu Bin, who was one year younger than himself.

At first, her adoptive mother was kind to her, but not long after, on the way to the county seat, the adoptive father was slippery on a snowy day and stepped on it.

When I found out the next day, my adoptive father was already frozen, and he was still clutching the birthday present he had bought for his beloved good daughter - a beautiful little crystal hairpin, and the cake had been spilled.

The cream is on the adoptive father's body, melted with the white snow, the birthday is given by the adoptive father, and the day he picked her up is the twenty-second of the winter month, the adoptive father said, I am afraid that she will forget, so that her parents can still find her in the future.

After the adoptive father was gone, the adoptive mother's attitude towards her plummeted, and the little girl, who had done all the housework every day, was not as tall as the stove, and began to swing the shovel with a stool under her feet.

But even so, the most important thing that the adoptive mother does every day is to point at her nose and scold her for losing money.

Xu Xia cried very forbearingly, she was not afraid of being tired, but she suddenly remembered her adoptive father, fortunately, her adoptive father had saved up a sum of money for her on weekdays, and kept all his previous savings together, unless Xu Xia died, others could not take it, this money was enough for her to study and go to college.

The adoptive mother naturally takes a lot every month, Xu Xia saves some, and the part-time job on weekdays is enough for her.

But the good days are coming, the admission letter has arrived, it is a well-known university of A University, thinking that he can get rid of his adoptive mother in the future and be free, Xu Xia is also in a much happier mood, wiped away his tears, and continued to wash clothes hard.

Xu Bin's lazy voice came from inside the house: "Sister, it's time to eat." It was mixed with the adoptive mother's angry cold snort.

After eating, the adoptive mother asked Xu Xia to go to eat quickly with a cold face, and finish the housework after eating, otherwise she would be killed when she came back, and left.

The adoptive mother works as a nanny for the master's family in the county, and she is not there every afternoon, and every afternoon is also the most relaxed time for Xu Xia, of course, ignoring Xu Bin's increasingly strange eyes when he looks at himself.
