The Xia family is in an old community, far from the bustling area of the city center.

The population of the community is not large, most of them are retired old people, and the good thing is that it looks quiet and peaceful, and if it is not good, it just looks dull.

The house was bought many years ago when Xia Jie's parents got married, and it has not been changed for so many years.

There are some nostalgia and memories of this house, but more of it is a financial problem, I want to change, but I can't do it.

Xia Jie said to her mother, "We can't eat my dad for the rest of our lives, right?" ”

I don't know in the second half of my life, but in the first half of my life, the economic pillar of the Xia family has always been Xia Junxiong, Xia Jie's father.

He relied on his salary before his death, and his pension and living allowance after his death.

Xia's mother has sound limbs and the ability to work, but she has no intention of working, and she has always relied on this money and the help of relatives to support the Xia family to this day.

Naturally, there is no financial condition to exchange for a better house.

Compared with the outside community environment, Xia Jie's home looks much neater and more beautiful.

The old man seemed to have returned to his own home, walked around with his hands behind his back, visited the house, and then sat diagonally opposite Xia Mu with a satisfied face.

】

He is clear about Xia's mother's situation, this family can be kept so clean and things are so tidy, it is definitely not the credit of Xia's mother, it can only be the credit of his good granddaughter-in-law.

In his heart, Xia Jie's position as a granddaughter-in-law is getting more and more stable.

The layout in the living room is very interesting, Xia Jie's mother is sitting on the short sofa on the left side of the coffee table, Wang Shouyi and Cheng Hao are sitting directly opposite her, on the long sofa in the middle, the old man is holding Xia Jie's hand and sitting at ease, He Tian is in charge of making tea next to him.

The old man insisted on turning the away away game into his home stadium, and the tea sets were all brought from home by himself.

Xia Mu's face was strange, and she looked a little restless, as if it was not a soft sofa under her buttocks, but a prickly grass.

Although Wang Shouyi and Cheng Hao on the opposite side also had slightly serious expressions, they were also secretly happy in their hearts, it was so rare, after so many years, it was the first time they could go to the Xia family to be able to go so smoothly.

Sure enough, it's a thing!

"Aunt Xia, Wang, Cheng, drink tea!" He Tian took the wooden clip and handed a few hot teacups to a few people.

Wang Shouyi and Cheng Hao smiled and responded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, their eyes narrowed, and they praised it repeatedly, good tea, good tea.

Seeing that Xia's mother didn't move, the old man was not happy: "Xiao Liu, is the tea I brought not to your liking?" Or do you look down on my tea and think it's not high-grade enough? ”

Xiao Liu refers to Xia's mother, and her name is Liu Shufen.

Xia Muqiang smiled: "Old man, aren't you burying me with this?" The tea you brought is not good, it's just too hot, and I want to let it cool before drinking. ”

"This tea should be drunk while it is hot to taste. When it's cold, the taste is gone, come on, come on, taste it! Xiaojie, you can also taste it, your master can't cook, but this tea-making skill can be regarded as practiced. ”

The old man spoke, Xia Mu and Xia Jie didn't dare not listen, Xia Jie picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and the corner of her eyes fell on her mother, who was also drinking tea, and there were 10,000 question marks rolling in her mind.

Xia Mu's performance today is very abnormal, quiet and well-behaved, it seems to be a different person, she is not noisy or noisy in front of the old man, and she doesn't dare to be bitter, is there some story in this that she doesn't know?

He Tian, who was sitting on her left, knew it.

When the old man was still in office, Xia Jie's father Xia Junxiong was also a member of the old man's department, the old man accepted three apprentices in his life, the most unsuccessful was Wang Shouyi, Xia Junxiong was brought out by another apprentice, and the old man was also his superior, so he respected the old man.

On weekdays, I always like to run to the old man's house when I have time, listen to the old man brag about the glorious achievements of those heroes, and often bring my wife over when I got married, saying that I asked her to accompany Grandma He Tian more.

Don't look at Xia's mother who is often unreasonable in front of Xia Jie Cheng Hao now, when she got married, Xia's mother was eaten to death by Xia Junxiong, and she obeyed her words, except for being lazy and selfish, there are still advantages.

Therefore, Xia Mu and He Tian's grandparents have a lot of dealings, and Xia Mu naturally can't put a score in front of the elders.

What's more, Xia's mother can now get a lot of living subsidies from the institute every year, and even a lot of the money for recuperation when she is unwell is reimbursed by the institute, and these benefits are also greeted by Grandpa He Tian, so that they can be sent to her smoothly.

Xia Junxiong has been dead for so long, and the connections he left behind have long been scattered, even if he has to take care of the hero's relics, if no one above speaks, he will not let Xia Mu ask for it.

As for Cheng Hao, he was only promoted to deputy director in the past two years, and even if he wanted to help before, he was powerless.

"This tea drinking pays attention to the beauty of the five realms. The tea should be good, the tea set should be good, the tea should be good, and the heat should be good. The old man deliberately paused, stared at Xia Mu and said, "Also, be in a good mood." ”

"Xiao Liu, I've heard that since Junxiong's kid left, you've not been in a good mood. Hide at home all day long, wash your face with tears, and live in fear. It's been since I last saw you at Toshio's memorial service. It's been almost ten years, so many years, it's time to let go, stop torturing yourself.

You and I understand the pain of losing a loved one. But life always has to look forward, and I think Toshio doesn't want to see you tormenting yourself day in and day out if he had a spirit. I lost my only son and daughter-in-law, and I was very sad at the time, and I thought about it, so I just went with them, and I was not alone on Huangquan Road.

But didn't I survive this? Later, I also figured out that we live happily and happily, which is what they want to see the most. ”

Besides, you still have Xia Jie's daughter, if you are not happy, can Xia Jie be happy? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about her. ”

The old man's words made the whole living room quiet, and the flow of air became a lot slower.

Xia Jie lowered her head, the corners of her eyes were inexplicably red, her father's figure flashed in her mind, and there were two uniformed backs of Mo Hu, and her nose was a little sour.

Suddenly, the marquee in front of me seemed to flash the various scenes of one person supporting this family in the past few years, changing hands according to the online guide but the faucet was wet with water, and the meals that were either salty or sandwiched in the recipe were either salty or sandwiched, and after comforting and enlightening day after day, he dragged his tired body on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a dazed and helpless manner.

She's so tired.

The hands on the legs are clenched into fists, and the blood vessels are slightly raised, which can be clearly seen through the fair and translucent skin.

A large, slightly rough hand suddenly appeared in her field of vision, the palm of which was pressed against the back of her left hand, and the two hands were put together.

Xia Jie turned to the left, and what caught her eye was the infinite tenderness in He Tianmei's eyes and the distress that couldn't be hidden.

The two looked at each other in a daze for a long time, and then Xia Jie hurriedly lowered her head, and the green silk fell, covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

But there was no movement on her hands, neither did He Tian, the two hands were so close together, and the masters forgot about their existence at the same time, leaving only the temperature, breath, and pulse to pass between each other.

The people in the living room were so immersed in their emotions that no one noticed the scene.
