After eating and drinking, there is no dream all night.

The next morning, Xia Xiaochan didn't get up yet. Outside the house, there was a knock at the door.

The voice of the third aunt also followed, "have the two girls got up?"

"Third aunt, we'll get up right away."

The third aunt opened the door and came in and said, "little cicada, if you feel sleepy, sleep a little more. You've just suffered a great crime. It's most important to keep your body."

After a pause, the third aunt said again, "little cicada, I've made you a suit. You'll make do with it first. First see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, the third aunt will change it for you."

Xia Xiaochan looked at the third aunt's hand. It was a moon white dress embroidered with light green bamboo leaves. The workmanship of the dress was very elegant and comfortable. Although the fabric was not good silk, it was also good cotton.

Xia Xiaochan's clothes are coarse cloth, and I don't know how many patches have been sewed. Compared with the fine and soft cotton cloth, of course, the clothes are born one by one.

"Thank you, aunt three!"

The third aunt put down her clothes, looked at the open toe shoes at Xia Xiaochan's feet, closed the door and stepped back.

Jiang Yue looked at the clothes in Xia Xiaochan's hand with envy and reluctantly looked away.

Xia Xiaochan was embarrassed and said, "sister Jiang Yue, why don't you wear this dress!"

"No, no, no, I have clothes. Sister cicada, your clothes are too worn, your skin is rusty, and your body is uncomfortable. Change them first."

Although the clothes Jiang Yue wears are old clothes, they are cotton clothes and have not been sewn. They are good clothes.

The nearby villages are poor, and everyone has no money. It is common to sew a large circle of patches on a piece of clothing.

Hearing what Jiang Yue said, Xia Xiaochan didn't refuse. After all, a good dress can maintain people's self-esteem.

After Xia Xiaochan put on her clothes, she got up with Jiang Yue.

As a result, just out of the room, in the outer room, the third aunt took out a pair of good cloth shoes and said to Xia Xiaochan, "Xiaochan, your shoes are no longer good. It's all open toes. You put on these shoes first, and then your aunt will make you a suitable pair of shoes."

Xia Xiaochan was moved when she heard this. At the same time, she wondered how the third aunt was so good to herself?

"Third aunt, you don't have to work so hard to make shoes for me. You are good enough for me."

The third aunt's eyes flashed and smiled, "it's all right. When your mother was alive, we promised to take good care of you."

After hearing this, Xia Xiaochan no longer said anything, but she was more and more confused in her heart.

When Xia Xiaochan came to the table after washing, the breakfast was still very rich. Eggs stirred with big cakes fried with Chinese toon and fresh pickles under a large pot of millet porridge. Xia Xiaochan couldn't help drooling at such breakfast.

This kind of breakfast is very different from that of the Xia family.

After breakfast, Jiang Yue took out the silk flowers made by Xia Xiaochan and said, "Mom, let's sell the silk flowers. This is the silk flowers made by our cousin. It's so beautiful. We can sell a lot of money."

The third aunt looked at the silk flowers and was stunned. Her eyes brightened and nodded, "OK, OK, you two children look at the house. I'll sell silk flowers in the town."

Then she picked up the silk flowers wrapped by Jiang Yue and hurried out.

In the morning, Xia Xiaochan and Jiang Yue had nothing to do. The sisters cleaned up their home and talked about gossip. The time passed quickly.

At noon, the third uncle took a piece of golden bacon and asked Jiang Yue to cook.

Xia Xiaochan hurried to the kitchen to burn a fire.

The third uncle looked at Xia Xiaochan's back and opened his mouth. He didn't say anything.

Jiang Yue is a peasant girl. She has done all kinds of farm work since childhood. She is also very skilled in cooking. She went to the yard and cut a handful of garlic seedlings. She came back, washed the bacon, took a handful of dried beans and cooked a pot of bean soup.

When the bacon is cooked, pick it up, cut it into thin skin and stir fry it. Tut Tut, it's really delicious.

Aunt three came back to the village when it was getting dark in the afternoon.

However, when she returned to the village, she not only ate with a large basket of food on her back, but also kept a smile on her face.

The third aunt said, "I'm rich, I'm rich, my family is rich."

"Old woman, what's going on?"

"Those silk flowers are all good things. Little cicada made a fortune for her third aunt's family."

After a pause, he handed Xia Xiaochan a piece of silver and said, "Xiaochan, you deserve it. Take it."

Xia Xiaochan shook her head. "Aunt, you made me clothes and shoes. I eat and drink in your house. I don't want this silver."

After hearing this, the third aunt didn't force herself and said a few polite words. Then she went back to the room with the third uncle.

Because her uncle's family made money, Xia Xiaochan felt that she didn't owe them. She felt much better.

In the following days, Xia Xiaochan lived in her uncle's house day by day. Every day, she helped her uncle's family make some silk flowers and ate and drank well at his house. However, a few days later, her face became much better.

On the bones of the body, some meat has grown, which is better than the previous thin bones. I don't know how many times.

But for a long time, Xia Xiaochan became more and more uneasy.

Xia Xiaochan did not believe that there was a free lunch in the world, nor did she believe that the silk flowers she made would always make so much money.

After the first batch of rags were finished with silk flowers, I'm afraid that later, if the third aunt wants the rags, she must spend money to buy them. However, with more silk flowers, it naturally becomes less valuable. Moreover, many women can tie flowers. Xia Xiaochan estimates that such money will only earn a few change flowers.

But the third aunt still keeps herself white faced and meat every day, which makes Xia Xiaochan have to doubt.

Therefore, Xia Xiaochan said goodbye to his third aunt this day and said, "third aunt, I should go back if I have disturbed you so long in your house."

"Little cicada, stay in our house for more days. You're welcome. Before your mother leaves, we promised her to take good care of your brothers and sisters."

But if you take care of their brothers and sisters, why do you take care of them now? And only take care of her?

Xia Xiaochan was determined to leave. Her third aunt was helpless. She had to stay one more night on the pretext that her work at home had not been finished, and promised to send her home the next day.

The next day, the third uncle kept his word and borrowed an ox cart from his neighbor to take her home.

When Xia Xiaochan went home, before she reached the entrance of the village, she saw her brother and sister running over with an ugly face. When she saw her, the two children said bitterly, "second sister, Wuwu, how did you come back? Dad sold you all, Wuwu!"

"What to sell?"
