The dinner was unusually rich, with vegetables and meat, wine and laughter. Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the smell of meat and wine rushed towards Xia Huai's nose, but unfortunately, Xia Huai's mind was not on the meal at all.

She hugged a bowl of rice and laughed for a while, was stunned with a chopstick dish for a while, and suddenly smashed the rice with chopsticks for a while, in short, her whole person was in an abnormal state.

With a 'click', Zhou Huiniang put the chopsticks in her hand on the table and said worriedly: "Huai'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xia Huai came back to her senses suddenly, scratched her head, and found that the people in front of the table were holding bowls and looking at her, Xia Huai shook her head nervously, lowered her head and grabbed a few chopsticks of rice, and said in a muffled voice: "Eat, why don't you eat?" Mother, today's dish is so delicious! ”

Zhou Huiniang's eyes staring at Xia Huai made Xia Huai's scalp tingle, and just as she was about to say something, Shi suddenly said: "Sister Xia Huai, you don't have any vegetables in your bowl, how do you know that the dishes are delicious?" ”

Xia Huai was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth a little shyly, but he couldn't make any sound.

Xia Qi hurriedly played a round: "It must have been eaten just now, if you still eat the stone, if you don't eat it, I'll finish it!" ”

When the stone heard this, he was not happy, and he didn't care about joining in the fun, so he lowered his head and went to eat the meat crazily. He won't put it into his bowl one by one, and eat one by one, how much he can eat depends on his speed!

Xia Huai smiled gratefully at Xia Qi, she was also in a hurry, she did eat the food, but she didn't taste it.

"Okay, okay, let's eat first, Xiaohuai is tired today, I'll rest early!" It was difficult for Wang Tieniu to say something out loud, and Liu Qingyun couldn't help but glance at him.

Wang Tieniu looked over suspiciously, but Liu Qingyun turned his head again.

"Yes, yes, everyone is tired today, hurry up and finish eating and rest, Ming'er still has a lot of things to do" Jia Xin smiled, first of all, he was the first to pick up the rice bowl and began to speed up eating.

Everyone dispersed, Zhou Huiniang handed over the work of cleaning pots and spoons to Liu Qingyun and them, and she pulled Xia Huai to an open and uninhabited place, looking like she wanted to say something.

Xia Huai didn't speak, she was worried that her mother would see something, but she felt that it was impossible, this complex emotion made her whole person anxious, uneasy and anxious.

After a long time, Zhou Huiniang said with difficulty: "Huai'er, you tell your mother, are you?"

Xia Huai's heart was beating wildly, expecting and apprehensively waiting for Zhou Huiniang's next words.

"Are you worried about Yue Ping's incident?"

While Xia Huai breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of disappointment shrouded in his heart.

"Ah, no, I'll take care of Yue Ping's matter. Mother, don't think about it, I'm really fine, I'm probably really tired today, okay, I'll go rest first, mother, you should rest early. After speaking, Xia Huai walked away.

What she didn't see was that Zhou Huiniang didn't leave for a long time, and stood in place and looked at her for a long time.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Lao Xia's family had already gotten up to cook and was ready to go.

Xia Huai didn't plan to go out today, but thanks to someone, she couldn't calm down at all, and she was in a daze from time to time. In front of the family, this state is obviously abnormal. And the family knows too much about Xia Huai's usual state, and it will be discovered if it is a little different, so Xia Huai plans to go out.

When my father and mother asked, I directly prevaricated with 'market inspection'.

It's probably because Xia Huai usually says a lot of strange words, and for some words, everyone can guess the meaning of some words, so they don't ask more.

When he came to the street, Xia Huai looked at the lively pedestrians and vendors on the street, and his mood improved surprisingly.

This prosperous world is so beautiful, how can you waste your time?! She's going to make money, lots and lots of money! As for men or something, what is it?! Can it be eaten or drunk?

As long as she earns enough money, she also has to learn from the ancients with three wives and four concubines! Oh no, it's three husbands and four servants!

persuaded himself, Xia Huai started the old man's back-handed shopping mode.

Look left, look right. This stall sat for a while, that stall chatted for a while, and in a short time it was time to finish inspecting a street.

People who don't know still think that she has some big background, and she is not obedient, so she asks what to say! Let Xia Huai be satisfied!

was looking at it energetically, and suddenly the voice of Aunt Hua sounded in his ears: "Xiaohuai! ”

She looked up and saw that it was really Aunt Hua, waving her arms at her and trotting in her direction.

The noon sun was a little hot, Xia Huaiming saw that Aunt Hua's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and couldn't help but whisper: "Slow down, I won't run."

Aunt Hua grabbed Xia Huai's arm and said with a gossip on her face: "Xia Huai, do you know?" Yesterday, your father," Aunt Hua said exactly what Xia Dashan saw Mrs. Feng on the street before, causing her to think that she didn't belong.

Facing Aunt Hua's gossip concern, Xia Huai smiled awkwardly: "Haha, it's, in fact, my father is fine, but I met an old acquaintance I haven't seen for a long time, but I didn't catch up, so there is a bit of an emotional gap."

Aunt Hua suddenly realized, her curiosity was satisfied, and she couldn't help but comfort her earnestly: "Go back and tell your father, it's not a big deal!" In this way, you can tell me what your dad friend looks like, I am on the street on weekdays, this person comes and goes, I can help watch it, if you meet someone who looks like it, I will tell you! ”

Xia Huai thought about it, this is indeed a method, she nodded, and told Aunt Hua of their appearance, characteristics and names.

Aunt Hua is also a thoughtful person, when she heard Xia Dahai's name, she knew that most of the people he was looking for in Xia Dashan had a close relationship with him, not to mention his own brothers, at least cousins and the like.

immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, this matter will be left to me, once there is news, I will tell you immediately!" ”

Xia Huai thanked Aunt Hua, turned on her toes, and entered the Poria Restaurant.

In fact, she had long wanted to go to Poria Restaurant to have a look, but she was shy. Even if her waist is bulging, she can't go in openly, after all, her family is still watching! If she really goes, her family can't stop her, but there will definitely be some complaints.

Now it's different, Xia Huai came out alone, went in for a walk, and ordered two dishes in the sky, which shouldn't cost much silver.

What's more, she plans to use her own small coffers, so that the interests of everyone will not be involved.

To Xia Huai's surprise, there were two people dressed as a man and a woman standing on both sides of the Poria Restaurant. The man glanced at Xia Huai, quickly looked away, but pushed the female running hall next to him.

As soon as the female ran hall raised her face, she immediately changed her face to a bright smile when she saw Xia Huai: "Please come in the guest officer, drink tea or eat?" ”

Xia Huai was stunned and smiled: "Can I see your shopkeeper?" ”
