Traveling through Xueba is full of blessings

Chapter 193 Because We Are One Family

Xia Tian stood at the entrance of the alley of the Ye family's old house, covered the sun with his hands and raised his feet to look into the distance.

In the kitchen, millet porridge was cooking in the pot, and there were vegetable buns that she had worked on for two hours.Various refreshing side dishes are placed along the side of the pot.

She stood at the entrance of the alley and had been waiting for a long time.

"Father! Mother! I'm here!"

Wang Hongjun squinted at the silly girl who was waving in front of the car.Today, I met the legendary Young Master Ye's daughter-in-law.Well, yes, I didn't dare to take a closer look, and stepped on the brake to pull the handbrake.

Of the Xia family in the car, only Xia Dong was bouncing up and down in response to his sister, waving his hands and yelling, yelling.

Amid Xia Dong's joyous yelling, Xia Aiguo whispered without a specific target: "Don't tell her what is useless, lest she miss her family."

……

After the car stopped, Xia Dong jumped out of the car and threw himself into Xia Tian's arms.Xia Tian picked up Xia Dong and swung it around, making Xia Dong very excited.

Xia Tian called everyone one by one, and was listening to her second aunt and second uncle who kept praising: "Promising. I have discovered since I was a child that our family is the most promising in Xia Tian."

Xia Tian turned around after listening to the unnutritious topic, and saw her father helping her grandma out of the cart.He walked over quickly: "Grandma, you're all right! You're really all right!" There was a trill in her voice, and she was a little choked up with excitement.

The old lady is getting old, and she was already excited when she saw her beloved granddaughter. When she was stimulated by Xia Tian's appearance, her eye circles turned red: "Tiantian, the milk is so sweet, the milk is cured. The grandma is sick, dragging her down You, drag you down!"

Aunt Xia hurried over to support the other side of the old lady, and winked at Xia Tian and the old lady: "Why are you talking about these things! Tiantian, go and thank Boxuan's friend, who drove for a few hours to pick him up specially." us."

On Wang Hongjun's side, Xia Aiguo and Zhao Tiezhu were exchanging greetings, asking them to enter the house for a drink of water and a meal before leaving. After Wang Hongjun tactfully refused, he was about to drive away. Let's have a meal in the house." Xia Tian is not very skilled, and doesn't know how to be polite to Ye Boxuan's friends.

Wang Hongjun closed the car door: "No, I have to dare to go home. Sister, greet your family first, I can't say thank you to Boxuan. If you have a chance, I will give you a chance to try your handicraft. Let's go!"

The Xia family all stood there watching the big truck drive far away, and then followed Xia Tian into the Ye family's old house.

"Oh my god, I'm really standing in Kyoto. Look, look, look at this big brick house. I said it's beautiful and patriotic. Your days of happiness are behind! This guy, this condition is How is it, the brick houses have become old houses, do you live in that tall building?" Xia Tian's second uncle, Zhang Qingshan, stood in the big courtyard, discussing loudly with envy.

Su Meili was worried about her second sister and second brother-in-law along the way: "Second brother-in-law, go help Aiguo move things. Wash your hands and eat later, are you hungry?"

When everyone sat at the dining table and ate the buns made by Xia Tian, ​​while Xia Tian was talking to her mother, the door knocked.Xia Tian went out with a big smile on his face.

"Brother, I guessed it was you. Brother...why are you losing weight again?"

"Bitter summer."

"Nonsense! It's autumn now. Didn't you eat well again?"

"Ahem, sweet, let's go into the room and talk, I'm hungry."

……

Dinner was also officially opened in the dining room of the Ye family's small building.Ye Fangyuan, the old man of the Ye family, raised his glass to respect old man Song and his old relatives: "You really gave your children a fright. How is your body now?"

Zhen Yuxian, the old lady of the Ye family, also nodded and smiled slightly: "Old relative, your spirit looks good. I think the drive to walk away is much better than before. In fact, we should also learn from you. When we have the opportunity, we will Also take the train to your place."

Mr. Song used to take over the family business helplessly, but later he stood firm and became an idler in an instant.Now living alone in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, I will not change my literati habits and live up to the ancient sages.After tea and dinner, looking back on the vicissitudes of life, I look forward to it with a unique vision, hoping that one day I can regain the glory of the year.

Mr. Song has been chic and wandering in his life. He once had a son and a daughter. The son is no longer alive because of his career.The status of a martyr allowed Mr. Song to pass through the most difficult period peacefully.Now only Song Yaping is left as a precious girl.Therefore, he loves Ye Boxuan very much.

He took a sip of wine and replied: "Then I welcome you warmly! Alas, we are no longer as energetic as before. We can only think to ourselves, but we are becoming more and more unable to move our legs. Recalling the past, I feel a little regretful. If you are alive, you should see more when you can walk around!"

While pushing cups and changing cups, the three old men drank a lot, accompanied by Ye Boxuan, acting as filial sons and virtuous grandchildren.His father, Ye Zhiqing, had already met his grandfather due to work needs, and returned to the station without even eating a hot meal.

Song Yaping saw those people chatting happily, fearing that they would drink too much, so she sat on the sofa and was making tea.

Why they came here became the main topic of the three old people.

Mr. Ye told Ye Boxuan: "When you get married, you must work together! Your family depends on yourself. When you reach the age of your grandfather one day, when you look back, you will find that a small family from scratch is what people ultimately pursue. realm."

After Zhen Yuxian drank a sip of wine, she lovingly took Ye Boxuan's hand and said, "Now my eldest grandson is finally getting married. Grandma, I hope that you two, Boyuan, you two, must keep pace with each other and make progress together, so that you will There is no common topic. No matter who is flying high, go to pull each other, that kind of marriage is to fly together."

After hearing this, Mr. Song and Ye Boxuan's grandfather stroked their beards, and their faces and necks turned red from drinking. The literati's pride poured out with emotion: "The Yangtze River is thousands of miles long, and the Yellow River flows continuously! Boxuan has grown from a baby to a Now I'm going to marry a wife and have children. The long years, spring, summer, autumn and winter, pass before your eyes."

The three old men who had never wasted their time sighed at the same time, recalling each other's past.

Sitting in the dining room, Ye Boxuan felt an unprecedented peace of mind.Listen, smile, and agree.How long has it been since he took a closer look at the three smiling faces tainted by the years.Half of their hair is gray, they still don't trust him, they use their own life experience to educate him, just like when he was learning to walk when he was a child, each of them needed to hold him by hand...

……

For the rest of the Xia family, they arranged their residences one by one in the summer, talked with the old man and the old lady Xia, and asked their aunts and uncles about the situation at home, and all the answers they got were good.Hearing another praise from her second aunt and uncle, she hurriedly made an excuse to leave the room. In Xia Tian, ​​she boiled a large pot of hot water for everyone, delivered it to grandma, arranged for her parents to wash up, and then went back to the house.

In the room where Xia Tian lived with her mother Su Meili, there were only their three brothers at this moment.Xia Dong was very excited during the day, and fell asleep early on his stomach, with a quilt covering his belly.

And in front of Xia Tian, ​​was sitting that Xia Qiu with a simple and honest smile on his face.

Xia Qiu handed Xia Tian a red cardboard box, Xia Tian looked at her brother suspiciously, when he opened the box, he saw a red scarf.

When Xia Tian raised his head again, his eyes were blurred with tears: "Brother..."

Xia Qiu was taken aback: "Why are you crying?"

Lifting the box, Xia Tian asked with a choked voice: "Just because of this, are you hungry and thin again?"

Xia Qiu scratched his head: "How can it be! You're talking nonsense."

"You won't lie. Brother, you have no place to make money. Our family doesn't have one, and neither do you. You don't rely on being hungry. Where do you get the money?" The salty tears flowed into Xia Tian's mouth. In his tearful eyes, Xia Tian looked at Xia Qiu Skinny cheeks.

Xia Qiu touched Xia Tian's head, and explained as if comforting: "I am an elder brother."

Xia Tian lowered his head and looked at his toes, tears streaming down his face.

"Old girl, old girl." Xia Qiu panicked a little.

Just like Xia Qiu's cry when he had a high fever at the beginning of summer, just like the sound of her brother calling his old sister in a panic on that snowy day's ox cart...

Xia Qiu seemed to understand a little bit.The voice was deep and transparent, and he looked out the window: "Don't dare to go hungry anymore. If you are so hungry, your parents will collapse. This is the last time. Old girl, sometimes my brother is very weak... Sigh! You also need to be married when you get married. Work hard, study hard with my brother, and live a good life for my parents."

"Yeah." Xia Tian understood why her brother never cried.

Since Xia Qiu was born as a younger sister and younger brother, she seemed to be born by nature and knew how to shoulder the mission of her brother.His inherent brotherhood made him and his sister and brother no matter how many miles they were apart, even if time gradually passed, his heart never changed from youth to gray hair in summer and autumn.

Even though he did not develop as well as his younger sister and younger brother, he still used his meager ability to try his best to shield them from the wind and rain.

Su Meili, who was outside the door, covered her mouth and did not dare to cry to disturb the siblings.

……

At night, after Su Meili fell asleep, Xia Tian quietly got out of bed.

She stood in the Ye family's storage room, in the dark and under the moonlight, looking around at the dowry parcels, washbasins, and bedding.

She knelt down and touched the two bedside tables her father made for her with her hands.Tears dripped silently on the ground drop by drop.

……

Su Meili stood by the window, watching her daughter's figure through the moonlight.Her daughter was standing in the Ye family's yard looking up at the sky.

Looking at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, Xia Tian told herself that it was time to think carefully, and she could never live like this again!Never do this again!
Not only the Xia family, but also the Ye family did not fall asleep that night.It's just that the mood is different.

Song Yaping was sitting on the edge of the bed holding a pen and paper and whispering what was missing.When Ye Zhiqing came back, he asked, "Are you all asleep?"

Song Yaping said with a smile: "Well, Bo Xuan drank too much with him. They all lay down. Huh? Our family should buy a few more catties of toffee. I can't let others say that I am stingy. Our family is getting married. When the daughter-in-law enters the door, before serving the dishes, the melon seeds and candies must be fully prepared.

Ha ha, I will go tomorrow.By the way, can you come back early tomorrow?Accompanying my parents, I have to go to the station to pick up my old comrades at night. "

Ye Zhiqing nodded indifferently.

Ye Boxuan, the groom-to-be, felt no pressure and fell asleep with his head covered.

The bride-to-be in Xia Tian thought about her difficult life, her eyes dimmed with tears...
