Chapter 26: The Mind of a Child
In the end, the four of them put on their new shoes and they all fit very well, and the happiest one was Xia Xinghe, because his shoes were the most badly damaged, and two toes were exposed.
"Eldest sister, these shoes fit so well."
Xia Xinghe, who is already ten years old, is already half an adult in this world, and he is no longer childish when he talks angrily, but is a little old.
"Just fit it! You don't want your old shoes, take them out and throw them away!" ”
Xia Qiyue really can't see it, it's already broken, and it can't be worse anymore.
But Xia Jiujiu was still a little reluctant, "Sister, this shoe was made for us by my mother..."
Speaking of her mother, her eyes turned red again, although her mother's personality was cowardly and she couldn't protect them and was always bullied, but she was still very good to them.
Xia Qiyue shook his head, "Don't always worry about those who have passed away, it's not good for their life in heaven, and don't shed tears for them anymore, because the tears you shed for them will become a vast ocean, blocking their way and not being reincarnated!" ”
This was told to her by the dean's mother, who knew it was a lie, but she never shed a tear for her parents, whom she had never met.
Xia Jiujiu really didn't hesitate anymore, didn't cry anymore, nodded emphatically, picked up the old shoes, and threw the other four downstairs by the way.
Then he started to cook porridge, Xia Xinghe helped to make a fire, although Xia Qiyue knew that the conditions were limited now, he still couldn't help but ask Xia Jiujiu to wash the pot first.
Xia Jiu listened to her sister's words, washed the pot with a small amount of water, and asked her sister if she wanted to leave a little water when she wanted to cook porridge.
Xia Qiyue had a headache, her space was a little pitted, and the water couldn't be pumped at all, not to mention a spring, even the ten catties of mineral water she couldn't pump, but she still asked her sister to put all the water in.
It's really not good, she will buy some water with Xiao Er when she leaves tomorrow.
The sister and brother were cooking porridge downstairs, because there were not many people in the inn, Xia Qiyue was more relieved and stayed in the room to clean up for the two children.
Looking at the two little ones who looked like a little cat, she really wanted to give them a good bath, but because there was no water, it was already difficult to drink saliva.
"Mother, you lie down and sleep for a while, will my brother and I fan you?"
Xiao Keer hugged her mother's arm, and her soft voice sounded, which was particularly good.
Xia Qiyue was really sleepy, she also wanted to sleep, now it was dark, but she couldn't sleep, in case there was any accident with the younger siblings cooking porridge downstairs, she was worried.
So she talked to her children without a match.
"Did you two sleep?"
Xuan'er nodded, and Ke'er hurriedly replied, "Sleep mother, we won't see you when we wake up, and my aunt coaxed us to sleep again." ”
Xia Qiyue patted her head, yes, she was really forgetful, she slept with two children when she left.
Maybe she thinks about a lot of things, and she is a little lacking in skills.
"Okay, so are you tired?" Xia Qiyue's ears have been listening downstairs, talking to the two children.
When Ke'er heard this, her face wrinkled a little, and she wanted to cry.
Xia Qiyue hurriedly picked up the child, "What's the matter, Ke'er, is it because you're too tired?" ”
Ke'er shook her head, and then cried loudly, wow wow cry vibrated Xia Qiyue's eardrum pain.
"My mother is tired, my mother has carried me and my brother all the way, we are not tired... But my mother is tired... Woo woo woo ... Daddy is bad, don't want Ke'er and brother and don't want a mother, woo woo..."
Xia Qiyue was undoubtedly shocked, thinking that the two children could not feel anything about their father An Zichen, after all, they had not met since they were born, and the two members of the Lao An family mentioned that their son was good, how could the two children be so hostile.
But I didn't expect that Xiao Keer would hate her father so much.
"Ke'er, Xuan'er, your father doesn't want us, but to protect more people who need protection, he is great, you can't hate him!" Although Xia Qiyue didn't have any love for An Zichen, she just looked at the other party as a soldier and had a good impression. I don't want his children to hate him and misinterpret him.
"Moreover, there is a mother, the mother will protect you, although we are a little bitter at the moment, but my mother believes that my babies are strong, and my mother will also work hard, so that you can live a good life in the future, and let you go to school to be literate, and be a great person like your father in the future!"
Xiao Xuan'er listened to her mother's words and planted a seed of struggle in her heart, her eyes were firm and her expression was solemn.
On the other hand, Ke'er shook her head a little disappreciatively, "Mother, Ke'er doesn't want to study, Ke'er wants to become a big chef, cook a lot of food for her mother every day, don't want her mother to go hungry." ”
Xia Qiyue supports his forehead, it is really a lofty ideal, and the little people are hungry and afraid.
"Okay, whatever you do, my mother will support you!" Xia Qiyue didn't want to dampen the child's enthusiasm and optimism, so he nodded.
The mother and son were chatting, and the two little ones had to massage their mothers, saying that their mothers were carrying them all the way very hard.
This made Xia Qiyue have the urge to buy an ox cart or a horse-drawn cart.
She also walked and her leg was about to break.
But no, the reality made her slap her face, she couldn't protect the carriage and ox cart at all, even if the people in Shanbei Zhuangzi didn't rob it, what about the others?
There are so many refugees at the city gates, and it is difficult to guarantee that some people will covet them.
Just look at my mother's father and mother being beaten to death for a board car.
While his thoughts were flying, there were a few quarrels downstairs.
Xia Qiyue knew that this was due to the accident of his younger brothers and sisters, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he led the two children downstairs in a hurry.
Fortunately, their luggage is some shabby bedding or something, and then there are dishes and chopsticks, and food and water can't appear outside at all, so it's nothing if they don't close the door.
She ran downstairs and found that her sister Xia Jiu was stubbornly protecting the bubbling rice porridge, while her younger brother had scary eyes and stared at the man in front of him, with his hands outstretched, looking like a protector.
And the one standing opposite them was obviously dressed as Xiao Si, but it was not the sick beauty Xiao Si that Xia Qiyue saw in the afternoon.
Xia Qiyue led the child closer, and then asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
Xia Jiu was about to cry, and when she saw her sister coming back, she immediately felt a sense of security, and tremblingly pointed at Xiao Si and crackled and complained.
It turned out that Xiao Si wanted to buy a bowl of rice porridge with them.
Xiao Si also immediately realized that the parents of the two children were here, turned around to look, but saw Xia Qiyue, who was leading the two children, and was a little unbelievable that the cold voice just now came from this delicate little woman, but she still spoke in a good voice.
"This lady, our young master is weak, and some coarse grains can't be eaten, can you sell a small bowl of rice porridge, the price is easy to say!"
Xia Xinghe's hand was still unfolded, and Xia Qiyue couldn't see the porridge in the pot if he wanted to, so he could only press down his hand and look over.
