Qiu Yu muffled part of the voice, Xia Qingmai thought at first that she had heard it wrong, but when she saw Sun Fugui, who was coming back from covering the quilt with the book inkstone by the side of the bed, she also paused, and then she asked uncertainly: "Did you hear someone talking outside?" ”

As he spoke, Xia Qingmai was about to go to the outhouse.

Just took two steps, Xia Qingmai suddenly stopped, took Sun Fugui's hand beside him, and walked out together.

"Let's go and see."

Seeing that Xia Qingmai still knew how to hold herself, Sun Fugui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"In the future, when I am not at home, I hear a sound outside, don't rush out first, you must confirm that you are coming."

Xia Qingmai understood what Sun Fugui meant, so naturally he would not kindly refuse his concern.

Nodding, Xia Qingmai also pulled Sun Fugui to the door of the outhouse.

As soon as he walked to the door of the outhouse, the voice of the conversation outside again became clear in an instant.

"Second sister, it's me."

Almost as soon as the voice outside fell, Xia Qingmai raised his hand and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Xia Qingmai vaguely saw the people standing outside the courtyard of his fence.

"Qingyuan? Why are you here at this time? ”

When Xia Qingmai's voice sounded, Sun Fugui also trotted to open the door of his house.

After a few breaths, Xia Qingmai first heard Sun Fugui's voice, 'Qingyuan, why don't you use an umbrella', and then when she quickly went back to the room and got a dry towel, she looked up and saw Xia Qingyuan's red eyes clearly.

In the past, he was very energetic, and the young man who loved to laugh was soaked all over his body at this time, and after touching Xia Qingmai's eyes, he shrank back.

Waiting for Xia Qingmai to smash the dry towel directly into his arms, he subconsciously took the towel and snorted, "Second sister, I know it's wrong." ”

After saying this, it seemed that he suddenly thought of the purpose of his coming today, Xia Qingyuan's hand holding the dry towel was bulging, he raised his head, looked directly into Xia Qingmai's eyes and said, "Second sister, will you still be my sister in the future?" ”

Xia Qingmai felt that his younger brother, who was very shrewd in the past, might have been drenched in too much rain and had water in his head.

She rolled her eyes at him, and then said loudly while walking to the stove to make a fire and cook ginger soup: "I'm not your sister, can I become your sister?" ”

After speaking, Xia Qingmai paused and continued: "Even if I go out, I will only change from your own sister to a cousin. Why isn't it your sister? ”

Hearing Xia Qingmai's words, Xia Qingyuan only felt that his eyes were sour, he quickly put the dry towel in his hand on his head, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes by wiping the rain on his face.

But Xia Qingyuan, who was moving quickly, didn't know that from the beginning of his entry into the house, his sister and brother-in-law had already seen his eyes that had obviously cried.

At this moment, where he couldn't see, his sister and brother-in-law glanced at each other and exchanged words silently.

Xia Qingmai picked up the kitchen knife, rinsed the surface with water, and then brushed and sliced more than a dozen pieces of ginger into the pot.

Waiting for the ginger slices to enter the pot that had been filled with water, Xia Qingmai turned around and went to the cupboard to get brown sugar and bowls.

After taking two steps, Xia Qingmai said loudly: "Why did you come to me at this time?" Does the family know? Why don't you have an umbrella? ”

Xia Qingmai had a lot of problems, but Xia Qingyuan didn't feel annoyed at all.

He took the dry towel off his head and replied with an urn: "I had a quarrel with my family, and I should know that I came out to look for you, and I didn't have time to open an umbrella." ”

Seeing that Xia Qingyuan had become normal, Sun Fugui also interjected: "You sisters and brothers are talking, I'll go find clothes for Qingyuan to change into." ”

Waiting for Sun Fugui to walk into the back room to look for clothes, Xia Qingmai also took his things and returned to the stove.

"What are you arguing with them? Wasn't my succession decided a long time ago? ”

"Before, it was the money that was not easy to arrange, give it to me, they were not convinced, and I felt uncomfortable giving them away. The eldest grandfather was worried about the second uncle's wish and was unwilling to arrange it forcibly. ”

"Now, it's just a matter of execution."

Seeing that Xia Qingmai said it easily, Xia Qingyuan was not happy again.

"Second sister, I just don't want to see them finally breathe a sigh of relief. And the big brother, he, he ......"

Sixteen-year-old Xia Qingyuan was embarrassed to say something, but Xia Qingmai, who was familiar with the character of that family, said directly: "He scolded me? Is it to blame me for arranging all the money directly? I think about it, maybe he, and my parents, still think that I should take the money back and hand it over to them to arrange, right? ”

The more Xia Qingmai spoke, the redder Xia Qingyuan's cheeks became.

Seeing his reaction, Xia Qingmai still didn't understand something.

"Look at you like this, I should have guessed correctly."

Listening to the second sister's firm words, Xia Qingyuan really couldn't say a word of 'no'.

As the beneficiary of his parents' mouth, 'If your second sister gets the money back, according to her heart, she will definitely give half to you', Xia Qingyuan really didn't know how to accept this.

Xia Qingmai didn't think there was anything.

Based on what she knew about that family, they probably said a lot of ugly things.

What surprised her was that Xia Qingyuan would come to her at this time.

The ginger soup in the pot gradually became thick under the action of the tongue of fire, Xia Qingmai scooped the ginger soup into the bowl, and the hot ginger soup quickly melted the brown sugar cubes.

Sweet brown sugar meets hot ginger soup, and a bowl of ginger tea to ward off the cold is good.

"Drink, drink ginger tea and change your clothes, I have a fire here on the stove, you can sit here and roast the fire later."

Xia Qingyuan didn't dare to refute his second sister, even if he was most afraid of the taste of ginger since he was a child, he didn't dare to say 'don't drink it' at this time.

Seeing the second brother-in-law coming out with his clothes and the second sister entering the back room, Xia Qingyuan looked at Sun Fugui and said, "Second brother-in-law, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to come at this time." ”

Sun Fugui raised his chin at the ginger tea on the pot table, signaled Xia Qingyuan, the brother-in-law, to drink tea first, and waited for him to pick up the bowl containing the ginger tea, and then said loudly: "Brother-in-law still has to pick time when he comes to my sister and brother-in-law's house?" That's not just when you want to come. ”

After saying this, seeing Xia Qingyuan, who had drunk two sips of ginger tea, his brows stretched, Sun Fugui continued to speak: "But you are raining this big night, I still have to talk about you." ”

"I didn't see a bicycle when I went out just now, and your trouser legs are still covered in mud, so you walked all the way. Well...... Maybe, you're still running, aren't you? ”

Seeing that the second brother-in-law had guessed it, Xia Qingyuan smiled embarrassedly, and then hurriedly lowered his head and drank ginger tea.

Sun Fugui knew that sixteen or seventeen-year-old men loved face, and as a brother-in-law, he was not easy to manage.

He looked at Xia Qingyuan, who drank the ginger tea one by one, and finally said loudly: "Think about the people who care about you before you do things in the future." Think about it, if something happens on the road today, how sad your second sister will be. ”

Hearing the words of the second brother-in-law, Xia Qingyuan, who had just finished drinking ginger tea, had just put a smile on the corner of his mouth, and immediately put away his smile again.

He nodded cautiously, looked at Sun Fugui and said, "Second brother-in-law, I have memorized everything you said, and I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Xia Qingmai, who had been standing at the door of the inner room, heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although she was a little surprised by her brother's arrival, she also knew that she was in the Xia family's big house, and there were people who cared about her and were reluctant to give it up.
