Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

"Ziyin, you are here. We can learn embroidery from Grandma Sang together in the future. It's great." Xia Xiaoju sat on the small stool and saw Xia Ziyin also came, and she couldn't tell how happy she was.

Holding Xia Ziyin's hand, he kept talking.

"Xiaoju, hurry up and embroider, don't you want to make money?" Xia Beibei pretended to be stern, and glared at Xia Xiaoju.

Xia Xiaoju was very happy that someone came to accompany her, but didn't she see the embarrassment on Xia Ziyin's face?

"Yes, yes, I want to earn a lot of money." As soon as Xia Xiaoju heard the money, she quickly picked up her embroidery frame again, and started to work quickly.

Xia Ziyin, on the other hand, looked at them silently, not daring to say anything.

She was really ashamed to come to Xia Beibei's house, because her father not only didn't bring anything to Xia Beibei's house, he didn't even bring her daughter food.

For this reason, mother quarreled with father again, and even the eldest brother was angry with father, but father still disagreed, saying that he had to go empty-handed or not, because there was not so much surplus food in the family to send to others.

Could it be that her daughter is someone else?

In the end, the eldest brother had no choice but to back down a step, knowing that Xia Beibei would not care about a few meals with her, so he sent her over directly.

"Ziyin, don't be unhappy when you come here. Here you take this embroidery stretcher. Anyway, I don't know how to embroider, so I will embroider it for you." Xia Beibei put her embroidery stretcher into Xia Ziyin's hands .

He secretly sighed in his heart, Xia Guchun is such a bastard, he won't let Ziyin bring over even an embroidery stretcher, isn't he afraid that his daughter will be looked down upon in her house?

It's just missing the home.

"Jiu Niang, I'm really sorry, I... my father..." Xia Ziyin's eyes were red, and tears were about to fall.

"Ziyin, when you come to Grandma Sang's house, don't cry any more. Learn from Grandma Sang, and with this skill, you will marry a good family." Sang Jinghong said to Xia Ziyin with a smile on her face.

"Just squeeze the quilt with Xiaoju, her quilt is big enough."

Xia Guchun, who will be struck by lightning, didn't even give him food, but he only brought Xia Ziyin a change of clothes, and didn't even take a quilt. What's the difference between this and driving his daughter out of the house?

"That's right, Ziyin, you and I share the quilt, let's squeeze together to keep warm." Xia Xiaoju raised her head and said to Xia Ziyin.

"Yeah." Xia Ziyin responded lightly.

She is now a lost dog driven out of the house by her father, she has nothing, and she has to rely on Xia Beibei's house for food and drink.

Mother wanted to bring her some things, but father just stared there and couldn't get anything out. In the end, mother could only secretly tell her that after arriving at Xia Beibei's house, do as much as possible in the house. Some.

...

Xia Guchun woke up from the cold, early in the morning, when Lu Shixiang got up to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, he saw Xia Guchun lying in the snow, his body was still covered with a thin layer of snowflakes , It seems that I haven't slept in the snow for a long time.

She quickly called Xia Ziqing and Xia Ziqi, and the three carried Xia Guchun into the house.

Xia Ziqing stepped on the thick snow, and went to the neighboring village to invite Mr. Langzhong to see Xia Guchun. This time, Mr. Langzhong's face was so ugly that he was obviously reluctant to come.

It was snowing so heavily, and this patient was Xia Guchun who kicked him out a few days ago for some money for medicine, so of course he looked ugly.

It's just that someone came to invite him, and he couldn't justify it if he didn't come, so he had to come over in the snow, thinking in his heart, he would give Xia Guchun, a snobbish thing, a good beating later on!

However, when he arrived at Xia Guchun's house and saw the man lying on the bed, Mr. Lang Zhong realized that even if he didn't need to beat hard, he would have to spend a lot of money just to take medicine and cure the disease.

However, Xia Guchun is sober, so he is willing to spend money, why don't he just lie down.

Mr. Langzhong narrowed his eyes sharply, and frightened him severely, even saying the word "death", so that Xia Guchun was so frightened that he had to pay out money, and took more than two taels of money for medicine.

So far, the money in Xia Guchun's hand is getting less and less, and he can't drink the medicine without bitterness, so he only thinks about where to get the money for his son to go to Beijing for the exam.

Because Lu Shixiang was terrified in the early morning, and shouted that Xia Guchun was lying in the snow, and was seen again, so it was rumored that Xia Guchun had done it again. Too many immoral things, being haunted by ghosts, and sleepwalking at night.

Although the rumors spread slowly in the village in winter, it will be different when the snow melts. It is estimated that Xia Guchun will be pissed off.

At Xia Beibei's house, because of Xia Ziyin's arrival, Xia Beibei had to go back to her room to make silk flowers. It wasn't that she wanted to guard against Xia Ziyin, but that there was such a disgusting father in Xia Ziyin's house. , she doesn't want to be troublesome.

Busy days always go by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it is almost the Chinese New Year. Xia Ziyin was also taken home by Lu Shixiang, who also brought back the finished embroidery that Xia Ziyin had been embroidering for almost two months.

Xia Beibei thought, Xia Ziyin should be able to live a good year, because those embroideries can all be turned into silver, Xia Guchun will definitely be happy in his heart.

Sang Jinghong also made an agreement with Lu Shixiang to send Xia Ziyin over after the new year.

Xia Beibei soaked soybeans again, and with the help of Sang Jinghong and Xia Xiaoju, she made a lot of tofu and sent out a lot of soybean sprouts, ready to cook and eat during the Chinese New Year.

When Aunt Ji and Xia Dao came to pick up Xia Xiaoju, she asked them to take some back.

...

"Grandma, it's snowing so much, don't send this tofu to Big Brother Dongfang." In the kitchen, Xia Beibei looked at the baskets of tofu, feeling worried.

It's not that she couldn't finish the tofu, but her grandma asked her to send it to Mr. Dongfang. It's not embarrassing for her.

You know, although the snow stopped and stopped, it was so thick that it reached knee height. How could she have the ability to deliver tofu to others.

Don't bury yourself in the snowdrift if the tofu is not delivered by then.

"That's right, the snow outside is too thick." Sang Jinghong glanced at the vast expanse of whiteness outside, recalling that when Xia Dao and Lu Shixiang came to pick them up, their bodies were covered in snowflakes, and she couldn't help but frowned. brow.

"I don't know if Shi Ziye and the others have anything to eat. This tofu is fresh, so they don't have that kind of food."

"Grandma, what do you care about them? Let's just eat and drink well." Xia Beibei murmured her red lips, took Sang Jinghong's arm, and said.

Brother Dongfang, can you still eat? That guy Wu Shiqi doesn't eat rice, I'm afraid they are eating and drinking right now.

"Now I can't control it even if I want to." Sang Jinghong could only say so.

"That's right, grandma, you go to the house to rest for a while, and I'll make more dumplings." Xia Beibei has already kneaded the flour into dough, and put it in the copper basin, which is quite a big one.

"How can I let you pack here alone, grandma..."

"Ninth girl, Grandma Sang, what are you doing?"

Before Sang Jinghong finished speaking, she was choked in her throat by the sudden voice. She turned around and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared behind them.

Quickly passed the woman and looked outside the door, there was not a single footprint in the snow, and the courtyard door was still closed, and it hadn't been moved at all.

"You... who are you?" She was about to break out in cold sweat, the door in the yard was still closed, how did she come in?

It can't be a ghost, can it? Sang Jinghong was suddenly terrified.

"Grandma, she is the female guard next to Big Brother Dongfang." Xia Beibei hurried forward.

"The female guard next to the son? Then she..." Sang Jinghong pointed into the snow, wanting to ask how she got in and why she didn't leave any footprints.

"Grandma, the guards are here to protect the master. They are all very powerful. They have good lightness skills and can fly around." Xia Beibei explained to Sang Jinghong.

Why is this Wu Shiqiu here at this time? Could it be that Brother Dongfang asked her to do something again? Just come here, and even scared her grandma, don't you know that the old man is very frightened?

"Is...is that so?" Sang Jinghong looked at Wu Shiqiu.

"Yes, Grandma Sang." Wu Shiqiu hurriedly responded.

"Oh." Sang Jinghong exhaled heavily, which really scared her to death.

"Shiqiu, what are you doing here?" Xia Beibei turned to look at Wu Shiqiu and asked.

"Miss Nine, Master Shizi ordered his subordinates to come down and tell you that he would like to invite you and Grandma Sang to the ancestral hall for a reunion dinner on the 30th day." Wu Shiqiu said.

"A reunion dinner?" Xia Beibei's eyes widened, looking at Wu Shiqiu as if she were looking at a monster.

Dongfang Yu, do you know what reunion dinner means? How could she and grandma go to the ancestral hall to have a reunion dinner with him? This is not a family. Would he have the nerve to let Wu Shiqiu talk about it?

Could it be that after living in Xiajia Village for too long, his brain was frostbitten and something went wrong?

"Okay, okay, we must go."

However, when Xia Beibei was full of surprise and was about to open her mouth to refuse, Sang Jinghong, who was beside her, agreed.

"Grandma!" Xia Beibei looked sideways at Sang Jinghong.

The New Year's reunion dinner is not a treat for guests, how can you do it at will, it is to worship the gods, how can you go there with Dongfang Yu.

It's all for Dongfang Yu to like Hu Lai, but why does she, a grandma, agree to it?

"Jiu Niang, it's pitiful that Shizi is alone in Xia's Village. Let's go over and have a bit of fun. Grandma is not such a particular person. Let's have a reunion dinner. You can do it anywhere." Sang Jinghong said to Xia Beibei explained.
