Merry Christmas ~~^0^

——————

In front of children, you must be cautious in what you say and do, and remember to remember.

Xia Xiaoman snorted and laughed, couldn't help but reach out and take the little ghost's head to his side, rubbed his hair, and looked at Xia Changhua with an embarrassed face to see how he was going to pick it up.

Who knew that the smart father didn't answer, but turned to yell at Xia Qiuling: "Erya, what are you doing standing stupidly?" Hurry up and get cooked! What time has it been, and you still haven't done it, you want to starve us to death?! ”

Zhao Shi was still covering his heart in place, his eyes rolled up, revealing most of the whites of his eyes, but he was not all angry, and he hadn't figured out the steps to come down yet. Hearing her husband's roar, her eyes fluttered, and she also yelled at her second daughter to cook, and then took the lead in the kitchen first, leaving the mess to her husband to clean up.

Xia Qiuling was yelled at by her parents and was aggrieved, her little face twitched, her mouth was flattened, but she didn't dare to say anything, and she went into the kitchen step by step to continue washing cabbage.

Xia Youjing saw that no one was taking care of him, so he hurriedly tugged Xia Xiaoman's arm and said, "Eldest sister doesn't leave, Ming'er will take me to the street!" ”

Xia Xiaoman patted his little head and smiled without answering, and quickly calculated in his heart that it would be cost-effective to go out on the grounds of taking a little ghost to the street. The reason is sufficient, but the risk is not small: he is not an honest child, and he has to make trouble; Secondly, I don't know if there are many traffickers in this era, so don't lose the child anymore - she feels that the old debt has been paid off, and she doesn't owe anything to the family, which will cost the only son of the family...... She couldn't afford to pay it back.

She's calculating, and so is Daddy.

Xia Changhua was originally annoyed by his son's big truth, and thought about appeasing his daughter below, saying that he couldn't let her go like this, what kind of family is Nianfu? Can ordinary people like them afford to provoke them? With such a momentum as a girl, she must have gained momentum in the Nianfu, not to mention the side, even if she makes a housekeeper come out, she can make them unable to eat and walk around!

When he heard his son grinding Xia Xiaoman to go to the street, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, wonderful, he was worried that Ming'er didn't have a son to take away his daughter, this is not a ready-made reason! He didn't think about the problem of abductors, because they were not far from the alley in the bazaar, and this old pimple had been wild since he was a child, and he didn't like to stay in the yard when he was not a child, and he wanted to follow anyone when he went out.

Xia Changhua made up his mind, so he smiled at Xia Xiaoman through his son's words: "Big girl, since your brother has been grinding you so much, there is nothing going on at Ming'er's house, so you can take him to the street - take a good turn, you haven't come back for a year, don't you, take a good turn, and come back later." ”

Well? Xia Xiaoman looked at her father in surprise, and her first reaction was that the old man wanted to make the little ghost cheat her out of her money. She subconsciously looked down at the little ghost, who was looking at her without blinking, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he was almost drooling. She couldn't help but laugh dumbly, how much money could such a little devil deceive her? It's a lot of worry. It's all because Daddy's love for money is obvious, and she won't think about it elsewhere. Elsewhere, if not for money, then for what?

Xia Xiaoman didn't reply, and Xia Changhua was also embarrassed on the spot, very embarrassed. The girl seems to have become smarter, he is worried, and what's worse is that the girl has become more powerful, if he knows that Ming'er Yao's family is coming, he will make a big fuss...... This can't be done, how many words did it take him to tell the Yao family about Erya! Seeing that the Yao family's dowry is about to enter the door, there can't be anything wrong at this juncture! He just wanted to add a few words, and wanted to take his daughter away properly, when he heard her open mouth to answer.

"It's also right to take your brother out for a walk." Xia Xiaoman smiled, "It's just, Daddy, Xiaoman doesn't know the way." And my younger brother is young, and there are many people during the New Year's Festival, so there must be a mistake, Xiaoman is hard to apologize for~~"

When Xia Changhua heard the turning word "just", he thought that there was no play, and when he heard these two things, he couldn't help but let go of his heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big girl, there is someone who walks around when he is young, he knows the way!" Just tell him to lead the way. ”

Seeing that his father was not worried about whether his son would be abducted, Xia Xiaoman felt a little weird, could it be that the social security was so good? Whatever, it's best if the little ghost can really recognize the way, if she can't, it's nothing, she used to travel alone to a strange city, relying on the map is useless, not relying on the mouth under the nose, nowhere to take a taxi and nowhere to ask for directions!

On the morning of the tenth day of the first month, Xia Xiaoman didn't want to get up in the hot bed, fortunately, Fennel had the foresight to bring more bedding, and she didn't feel cold last night, but she didn't know if she was tired from the car, or the bed was too hard to sleep comfortably, she felt that her waist was sore, and her bones hurt all over her body, and she didn't want to move.

She didn't want to go out, and before she got up, the little ghost came in, and even shouted noisily, took off her shoes and jumped on chuang to pull her up. Xia Xiaoman gritted his silver teeth, thinking that he must not give birth to a son in the future, or the girl is honest, and the son is troublesome!

finally fooled the little ghost to coax him to eat first, Xia Xiaoman got up and washed his face and combed his hair, and before he changed into a big coat, Xia Qiuling came in with a stack of clothes.

"Sister, my mother asked me to bring you clothes to change into, saying that you are wearing that good clothes and piercing your eyes, for fear of meeting a bad person......" Xia Qiuling said this to Xia Xiaoman, but his eyes looked at the jewelry on Xia Xiaoman's head, and then went to the makeup box on the table.

Cardamom took the clothes and shook them open to Xia Xiaoman, they were all plain cloth, the colors and materials were all civilian versions, although they were half-old, they were very clean, and there were no unsightly patches.

Xia Xiaoman nodded, she was also worried that the clothes she brought from her family were too ostentatious, this is a slum! Now that I'm going to wear it, it's really hard for the public to prevent thieves and thieves, and her appearance itself is the kind that can't be found in the pile of embarrassments. Safety first. The old lady thought about it quite thoughtfully, of course, nine times out of ten it was not for her personal safety, but mainly for the safety of her property.

Xia Xiaoman is still wearing her own jacket inside, and this dress is covered outside, in order to maintain coordination, she asked Cardamom to remove her head and face, leaving only an ordinary beaded plum hairpin to decorate, and a pair of small jade stoppers on her ears.

Xia Qiuling's eyes followed Cardamom's hand, lingering on the glittering silver hairpin jade rings inside and outside the makeup box, in fact, there were not many jewelry, and they were not precious, but they still dazzled her eyes.

Xia Xiaoman looked at it in his eyes and sighed in his heart, but he couldn't promise her anything. Because these jewelry are counted, large families are very particular, what season and what day to wear what style of things, if you don't wear it by then, and are picked on a fault, she and their maids will be unlucky.

Xia Qiuling seemed to notice that her sister and the maid were looking at her, so she hurriedly collected her gaze, smiled, and said, "Sister, clean up, I'll go first." The meal is ready, in the kitchen. After saying that, he ran away.

Xia Xiaoman shook his head, asked Cardamom to also change the old clothes that Xia Qiuling brought, unpacked the box and took some silver to bring with him, and specially brought a long cloth belt, and when he was ready to go to the street, he tied Xia Youjing, who was honest for a moment, to her arm. Although it is very similar to a monkey, safety comes first, so that the little ghost can avoid getting lost - well, unless the two of them lose ......>_<|||

There is a finch street not far from the south of the towel lane, the earliest is the flower, bird and fish market, although there is nothing high-quality, but there are some vassal elegant second-rate rich families like to come to visit, looking for some to look at the decent and inexpensive to go back to raise, the days are long, from snacks to miscellaneous all kinds of shops are breeding, and then later, the flowers and birds are gone, it has become a medium-sized bazaar, selling everything, but it is convenient for the shopping of nearby residents.

Xia Xiaoman had Xia Youjing tied to his arm, and a cardamom carrying a basket behind him, wandering from shop to shop, which was regarded as market research.

In fact, Xia Xiaoman had a wish in the past, wanting to buy a store and open a small shop when she had spare money, like that kind of flower gift shop, not sticking to a single category of goods, what is beautiful and fun to sell, from jewelry to toys, from antique books to clothes and shoes, everything she likes will be purchased, and then only sold to customers who are pleasing to the eye, the name is thought of, it is called Linlang Pavilion.

It's more like a game, not for the purpose of making money, but mostly for self-entertainment. Of course, the premise is that you need to have a lot of money and not worry about making ends meet in the future. So, from beginning to end, it was just a wish, and she was just a fantasy.

Now, she has crossed over, thinking that she is close to this wish, but when she really got to the people, she realized that this wish was getting farther and farther away from her. Just look at such a third-rate residential area, not to mention the special commodity shop, that is, the most common and low-cost daily grocery shop, if you really want to operate, there is no two or three hundred taels of capital, I am afraid that it will not be able to play. Rent, salary, working capital, taxes, Xia Xiaoman counted with his fingers, except for water and electricity bills, there is really nothing less than modern expenses, and to open such a small shop near a residential area, you have to prepare some for people to owe on credit, they are all neighbors, you don't owe credit and no one will buy it; You owe it on credit, just wait to put the money in it.

We also have to think long-term, first of all, to save money. Xia Xiaoman sighed, looking at Xia Youjing, who was stuffing snacks into his mouth, infinitely melancholy, if only he could be carefree like a child.

She bought some well-stored folk snacks such as soy beans and persimmons along the way, and planned to take them back to share with everyone. Although it's not worth anything, but you can't eat it in the house, so you can go out for a trip, which is also the meaning of personal affection, it seems that you have to stay in Nian's house for a while, and you have to get along with interpersonal relationships.

Then he bought Xia Youjing a tiger hat like Zhou Xingxing's version of Wei Xiaobao, his cheeks that were originally eaten and stained were full of scum, like a little flower cat, and now he is wearing a tiger hat, which is very funny. Originally, he was able to toss today, running around, if it weren't for a rope to tie him and Xia Xiaoman, it would be strange if people didn't lose it, but at this time, Xia Xiaoman looked at him smiling, and couldn't help but lean down and kiss the little ghost's little flower face, it's a little fun to have a child.

Xia Xiaoman also ate the "Crossing Woman's Favorite Rock Sugar Gourd", which is the most commonly used prop to trigger sexual encounters in the crossing text, but unfortunately she ate all the hawthorns, and she didn't see the royal brother riding a white horse from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

The sun rose overhead, and when it was time for lunch, Xia Xiaoman picked a nearby restaurant and entered the door, Xiao Er greeted him and said with a smile: "Yo, Miss Xia Er, come to drink?" I'm sorry, it's gone today, and the rest is fifty dollars a pot. ”

It's not the first time that Xia Xiaoman has been mistaken when she walks this way, she and Xia Qiuling looked like each other, but now they are wearing a hood to cover the woman's hairstyle, and Xia Youjing is followed by her, so it is inevitable that they will be misrecognized. She didn't refute as usual, but only responded, and said with a smile: "I don't drink today, I got some reward, and I came over for dinner." Is there a private room? ”

This restaurant is not as simple as a big restaurant in the downtown area, and the private room on the second floor is also very simple, but it is a small space separated by wooden boards, and the door is still hung with a bamboo curtain for summer. Xia Xiaoman asked Xia Youjing what he wanted. The answer is very simple - meat. She smiled dumbly, and ordered four dishes and one soup, two pure meat, two fried meat, and pork rib soup to meet the requirements of the little devil in an all-round way.

When the shopkeeper saw the Xia family going down to the restaurant, he felt that the sun was coming out in the west, and when he saw so many dishes, he was worried that they didn't have any money or money, so he answered the call but stood still.

Xia Xiaoman thought that she was asking for a tip, but fortunately, she deducted fifteen taels of silver from the twenty taels of silver given by Nian Liang, otherwise she would have to hurt the cost of returning home this time. She snorted at Cardamom, and Cardamom also knew that she was going to give a reward, so she took out twenty pieces of green money and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The mouth of the shopkeeper can be stuffed with duck eggs, the Xia family is a famous iron rooster, ...... He's not dreaming, is he?! It took him half a day to come back to his senses, and he didn't worry about the checkout, so he hurriedly ran down to order food.

After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps stretching from the stairs to the door of their private room, Xia Xiaoman thought it was the second shopkeeper serving the food, and said to Cardamom with a smile: "Tsk, the reward is not in vain, it's really fast!" ”

Who knew that the bamboo curtain was raised, but a strange man came in, and said to Xia Xiaoman with a calm face: "I came to your house today to be hired, why are you still on the street?" ”
