Traveling through Xueba is full of blessings

Chapter 24 Summer and Xia Ling's Future ([-])

Both Xia Aiguo and Xia Aiqin looked at their eldest brother and sister-in-law coldly.Xia Aiguo didn't believe that his elder brother couldn't understand what sister-in-law meant. No matter how bad his elder brother was, he was still a cadre. If Dongzi was here, he would probably be able to hear it. The truth is too straightforward.

Today's sister-in-law's performance is different from the past. It seems that she was really stunned by the surprise, which is too much for her usual dull but calculating level.

Xia Aiqin also felt that today was really an eye-opener.It seems that she has never seen clearly the person who brought her up and treated her well in her memory.Although when she was young, she remembered that her sister-in-law secretly ate trough cakes for Xia Wen, and told herself that she was delusional. She went back and told her mother, who also said she was delusional, and told herself that although she was not much older than Xia Wen, She is an aunt, even if there is something delicious, she should let Xia Wen.

That incident left a deep impression on her, and she felt pimples in her heart since she was a child, so she has been grateful to her sister-in-law all these years, but she was not close.But she never felt that sister-in-law was hypocritical.Today, I really feel that my sister-in-law is usually pretending to be stupid, she pretends too much.

The elder brother didn't respond at all.Before Xia Aiqin could figure out what was going on in her heart, she watched her second sister-in-law Su Meili pat her hand and said in a low voice, "Qinzi, second sister-in-law, thank you for helping our family over the years. Every time it happens, every natal family There are difficulties, no matter how big or small. Ever since you got married, your natal family has rushed forward. After this incident, stop thinking about your natal family like this. After a long time, no matter how simple and honest your mother-in-law, father-in-law and Tie Zhu are, they will It's a bad influence on you. Don't be too hard on yourself."

Xia Aiqin has always felt that she is not a person with shallow eye sockets, but why are her eyes so hot?The people in the village only saw that she was married well and well, and her natal family borrowed their help, but how could they know that she also had difficulties?Fortunately, her husband is considerate and obedient to her.For the two things this time, tell me which one she can't take favors, and which one she can take for the New Year and holidays.Don't say anything about things, beg others now, and when others ask her family Zhao Tiezhu in the future, Zhao Tiezhu has to agree, and they have to pay back this favor.Fortunately, she always knew that the second brother and the second sister-in-law were good, even the eldest brother...

Xia Aiqin was staring at Xia Ling there as if reciting a guarantee, and began to promise her grandparents that she would do well as a worker, when she heard a woman shouting loudly in the yard.

The old lady took the lead and went out first, thinking that the nearby neighbors were here for a stroll during the Chinese New Year.Then everyone else came out to take a look. Only Xia Aiqin and Xia Aiguo's family sat and stared at old man Xia without moving. Even Zhang Qiao carried the child and went out to see what was going on.In the blink of an eye, two mud boys came running back.One was in tears, and the other didn't have much expression.

"Ahhh! Mother, that old woman beat my elder brother and me with a stick, and my father even apologized to him. Go out and avenge me!"

Xia Aiqin looked at Zhao An carefully.I don't know if I was crying from anger or fright, my eyes were swollen from crying, so I quickly wiped off my clothes and got up to go outside.

Over there, Su Meili was about to torture and extract a confession. She twisted Xia Dong's little ears and asked repeatedly: "Where did you take your brother? Look, he scared you. If I don't beat you for three days, you will go to the room." Jiewa, let your father kick you to death."

Xia Qiu and Xia hurried to rescue Xia Dong.Xia Dong happily made a bow to his brother and sister to express his gratitude.Su Meili almost lost her temper.I can't take care of these anymore, so I hurried out with the old man and my old men to see what's going on.

"Oops! Your two grandsons are gone. I took a small broken cannon and lit it and threw it into my kennel. My dog ​​is usually not tied up in the yard, which is good. It is scared. Sa Huan jumped out of the fence and ran around the village. Your elder brother was afraid that the dog would bite someone after being frightened, so he ran behind the dog. You said he is a few years older than your elder brother. He usually struggles to walk and can run Is it a dog? Confused, isn’t it!
If he couldn't catch up, he was anxious and afraid of biting someone, so he fell into a snowdrift if he didn't pay attention, and was brought back by a passing person in the village.I didn't chase the dog, I chased him.I was afraid that he would fall and went to have a look, but in the end he really fell.Big sister, I don't have any other intentions here, so don't think too much about it, I'm here to tell you to check the two children quickly.Didn’t my family have a warehouse a little over one meter high more than ten years ago?The dilapidated ones used it as a dog kennel.We both ran out of the thatched hut built on it, and we didn’t pay attention to the two children who threw firecrackers. The two children climbed up at some point. One of the huts was not built properly, and the two children fell into the kennel from above. up.It's more than one meter tall. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital to have a look. "

An old man who was about the same age as the old lady turned around and left after speaking.The old man and the old lady will follow to see another old man.It's been an old relationship for many years, and the younger generation got along with each other when they were children, so I feel sorry if I don't look at it.The Xia family also kept sending a few old people a long way before entering the house.

When Xia Tian entered the room, he heard two children howling, Xia Aiguo and Zhao Tiezhu beat them up.It is estimated that they are almost suffocated.This is really like what people say, there is almost no end to scouring.

In Xia Tian, ​​her little uncle was even more talented, and while beating Zhao An, he scolded: "You've already found a certain amount, and I've never seen you so nasty. Why don't you throw firecrackers into your parents' bed? I will die with your mother."

Xia Tian felt that the picture was a little joyful.These two people beating the child looked scary, but they stood on the ground instead of climbing up the kang. The two children stood in the kang with their shoes on, yelling that they were going to be beaten to death, they were going to die, they were not good to me, etc.

Xia Aiqin really couldn't see it, so she handed the broom used for sweeping the floor to Zhao Tiezhu: "Take this and hit him, this appointment can hit him."

Zhao Tiezhu took the broom and waved it into the kang, and when he was about to speak, he heard the second uncle next to him say: "Both little bastards, come down quickly and let your mother see if there is any injury? Wait until the injury is healed before beating up." you."

Xia Dong was a person with many times of practical experience, and immediately yelled that his whole body hurt from the fall.

After Su Meili knew the reason, she wanted to beat Xia Dong even more.This time it's a fried doghouse, what if it gets fried next time?But I also know that my sister-in-law didn't have a meal when she came back home today, if the child was beaten and screamed again, there is no need to eat this meal.Forcing the fire to strip Xia Dong's clothes for inspection.

"Sister, you go to another room. You are a woman and I am a man."

"Stinky boy, when you were stopped by me just now, why didn't you say that men and women are different?" Xia Tian didn't argue with him, and went to the outhouse to help her aunt wash vegetables.The dishes were half packed and I went into the room for a meeting. I had to help cook quickly, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat this meal in the dark.

Old man Xia and the old lady came back after a while, saying that there was nothing wrong there.Everyone knows that today when the old Xia's girl returns to her mother's house, no one can talk too much, so the old man and the old lady are not left.Not long after the two of them entered the room, they called for dinner.

Old man Xia picked up the wine glass and had a drink with everyone first, then asked: "Xia Ling looks like she wants to go to the city to be a worker, so tell me about Tiantian, what do you want to do?"

"Grandpa and grandma, I want to be a soldier. Although I like the military uniform, I admire soldiers more. They are the cutest people who defend their home and country, and I want to be one of them. Although it is bitter, it is better than I’m better at farming and working in my hometown. My uncle said that the news about recruiting female soldiers can only be released in the spring. During this period of time, I can work while practicing running and the like. There is no problem with cultural classes, and I am in good health. , that is, physical strength and physical fitness need to be strengthened, and this period of time is just a buffer period, and I can still prepare.”

After Xia Tian finished speaking, she looked at everyone, and found that Su Meili, the old lady, and Xia Qiu all showed disapproving eyes, and understood that they wanted her to choose to be a worker like Sister Lingzi.This is so close to home, lest she really go to the army and be reluctant to part with her.

Old man Xia looked at Xia Aiguo, wondering what the young son was thinking.Xia Aiguo had been looking at his daughter seriously since Xia Tian was talking.

He thought: He has no reason to object to such an eloquent and firm answer.What's more, being a soldier is also his dream. Which man doesn't expect to be able to serve the motherland for the country?Everyone has this dream of being a hero, and now that my daughter has such a good opportunity, he just needs to be firm in helping her improve her physical fitness and run more at ordinary times. Let Xia Qiu take his sister to run around the mountains and plains.He believed that Xia Aiguo's girl would definitely be selected, the kind who could serve as a soldier without special care.

"Let Xia Tian serve as a soldier. If there were no iron pillars, such a good opportunity would not have fallen on Tiantian. Although our family is not bad in our village, there are many capable people outside. There are so few places, no To talk about other things, let’s talk about how many things are replaced every year in the army. Fortunately, our family’s Tie Zhu can talk, so our family is not afraid of such things happening. Let’s make it so, dad!”

Xia Aiguo signaled Old Man Xia to let him make the final decision.The old man frowned and wondered, can Xia Tian's small body withstand the toss in the army?He really wanted Reiko to serve as a soldier, while Xia Tian stayed near his home.After all, Xia Ling was more capable than Xia Tian and endured hardships since she was a child.But now that the two of them have chosen their future paths, he can't just let the two of them fall apart in a foolish way, and good things turn into bad things.

Then I'm afraid the two sons' families will have a rift. It is estimated that the youngest son has not lost his temper and left just because of Xia Aiqin and Zhao Tiezhu's face.As for his elder brother's silence just now, Xia Aiguo may have been a little disappointed with his elder brother. What he fears most is disunity in the family.

The Xia family has a small population, and if they are cold-hearted, the family will almost be broken up.Also, if he really decides to lose himself, Xia Ling will not only not listen to him because of her obscenity, but she will probably have to fight her sister when the time comes!The old man thought for a while, then picked up the wine glass: "The two of you have chosen by yourself, so I won't say anything else. Your sister-in-law and uncle dragged you two out of the mud. The future will be better, and you must remember them well." yes."

Both of them said thank you to my sister-in-law and uncle.Xia Tian didn't say too much, she always felt that no matter how much she said, it would be useless, and that she kept her promise if she really did it.

She came to this era all of a sudden, and after getting to know something about this era, she felt that she had to deal with Tukela for at least three or two years, which was really a bit worrying.She has never been in the field, and she doesn't know how to do any work. She was preparing to wait for the spring plowing and autumn harvest to earn work points, so that she could look good for her parents, but she was hit on the head by such a big pie.

She really wanted to go to the army of this era to practice herself, and she really wanted to be a soldier.Although she had seen everything in her previous life, she had been in contact with people from many professions, except for the soldiers.This profession has always made her admire and respect, and even made her feel mysterious.

Although the army training is hard, she is not afraid. It is really rare to be a soldier or a female soldier in this era.Since she chose to go to the army, she couldn't embarrass her father, let alone discredit this hard-won opportunity. She wanted to become better and make her father look good.

Xia Tian turned her head to look at Xia Ling who was sitting next to her, and her elder sister Ling Zi spoke as excitedly as a chicken blood and promised.She was a little confused, shouldn't a little girl have a dream of a hero complex?Why did he jump up and down as soon as he heard that he was going to be a worker in the factory, he was afraid that she would rob her.Xia Tian was quite worried that her elder sister Ling Zi would rush to join the army, but this is very good, and the old people don't have to make things difficult.

For the rest of the time, the eldest aunt frequently toasted with Xia Aiqin and Su Meili while drinking and talking.What is the specific time when most people can go to work?What is the treatment?How many people are in the dormitory?Wait for a very detailed question.

Su Meili cut off her sister-in-law's nagging questioning, and said quite loudly: "Aiqin Tiezhu finds someone to do things because of human kindness. Everyone knows the conditions of my family, and there is really nothing good. But I always I keep the red satin quilt that my mother gave me when I got married. The fabric is so rare that I have not been willing to use it for so many years. It’s used for bride price. I know embroidery is a small craft, and I think it’s not bad. I embroidered a large quilt cover as early as I got this quilt cover. It looks auspicious. Maybe this thing makes Aegin Tie Zhu took it back and it’s still a good shot, let’s go for favors or something.”

Su Meili saw that Xia Aiqin was about to speak, so she quickly raised her hand to stop her and continued, "This thing is just a wish of our husband and wife. Your second brother and I know how much love you have. Without you, how could such a good opportunity fall in this place?" For the children in the village, I am afraid that as soon as the notification is made, there are only a few places, and capable people in your county will go crazy. I won’t say much about thank you, it’s too empty. But if you don’t take this thing, you will look down on me and me. Your second brother's heart. Like Dad said, you really pulled Xia Tian out of the mud. She will be really good in the future, and she will not forget the well digger when she drinks water. Our children are sensible, reasonable and filial children. Her mother will give you more. Let’s not talk about things, even if you are filial to you, she can do what she specifies.”

After listening to Su Meili's crackling speech, Xia Aiguo was also complacent about his good vision back then.Don't search for critical moments, be a man and do things neatly.He saw the quilt several times, and Su Meili always took it out and touched the floor with her hands, which shows how much she likes it.Although this thing and the help my sister's family gave to my family are not worth mentioning, but as the child's mother said, it is from the heart.

Zheng Sancai blushed a little from embarrassment.You said that she herself is also happy and confused, so why is she not as thoughtful as her sister-in-law?She should have thought about giving something to help others long ago. She should have said this first, seeing the staring eyes of her own man, she also quickly answered: "I have the same thing, my mother's mother gave me a gift at the time. The little gold cleat as long as a little finger passed down from the older generation. The rumors have been so tight these years that I have hidden it and dare not take it out casually, but it is indeed the best item in my sister-in-law’s house now. You Take it as a gift, and I heard from my natal sister that everyone in the city likes this thing."

As soon as Zhang Qiao heard that her mother-in-law had this thing, she wanted to take it out as a gift. Doesn't this mean that this valuable thing should be put on Xia Ling's body? She gave it away, and she hasn't even touched it. What's the matter?

It was also the first time Xia Aihua heard that his own mother-in-law still had this thing, but seeing his son and daughter-in-law both looked a little unhappy.

That's right, I heard that this thing is quite valuable, so I gave it away just for Xia Ling?Originally, everything in this family should be given to the son and grandson, and it is normal for the son to have some opinions.

Old man Xia interjected and added a few words: "Keep the things and the piano, and find someone to do things. How can you not thank him for such a big favor? I don't care what you do with the things given by your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. If you give it to you, take it , It’s just that there are too few things, and there is nothing to add to my mother’s house.” After speaking, he took a few puffs of cigarette pipes and pots, frowning and thinking about what else is valuable at home.

When Xia Aiqin and Zhao Tiezhu heard what Old Man Xia said, they could only accept it if they couldn't object.Besides, it is true that during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, especially since it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye, I have to make a good deal with the person who arranged for Xia Ling to work in the factory.Li was too light to take it out, so he nodded after thinking about it.Zheng Sancai hurried into the house to rummage through the boxes, and Su Meili also gave Xia Qiu the key to the kang cabinet and asked him to go home to get the quilt.

At the dinner table, Xia Ling and Xia Tian helped the two younger brothers pick fishbone, especially Zhao An's hands and feet were dishonest, Xia Tian was busy wiping his hands and clothes with a rag during the meal.

At this moment, the big kung fu guys started drinking again, and Xia Aihua also took the opportunity to tell Xia Ling about his decision: "Your mother dumped all the things at the bottom of the box because of your work, and all the things at home should be given to you. Brother and your little nephew's. In this way, all the money you earned at work in the first two years will be brought back to your mother, and your mother will save it for your brother, do you have any objection?"

Xia Ling didn't dare to have an opinion after hearing this, she quickly shook her head and agreed, as for what was going on in her heart, only she knew.

The battle for this meal didn't take too long.I wasted a lot of time talking about these things and the naughtiness of the two children's shoes.That's it, while it was still early, Xia Aiqin and his wife hurried on their way with Zhao An, the troublemaker, so that they could return to the county before dark.

Zhao An's boy may be the only child because he lacks playmates.When he left, he cried and howled, clamoring for his father to take Xia Dong away.Everyone persuaded for a long time, and then wept like a little cat and waved goodbye to everyone reluctantly.
