Chapter 70 Storm

When Xia Daohua raised her head, she saw Wulang looking at her with a smile.

"I didn't think anything of it. Our father was talking to my little aunt just now."

Wulang followed Xia Daohua's gaze and saw Xia Youtian and Xia Yujiao talking and laughing. He suddenly felt that he understood his sister's thoughts and raised his hand to gently pinch the bridge of Xia Daohua's nose:

"Little girl, are you envious? Hehe, in fact, not only does my little aunt have a good fourth brother, you also have a good fifth brother!"

Xia Daohua "puffed" and laughed.

Most of the Xia family are honest children, even if they are naughty they are limited.

She has never seen anyone as boastful as Wulang.

However, Wulang is indeed worthy of being called a good brother.

Wulang chatted with Xia Daohua for a few words, and saw that Xia Daohua's expression was always very happy, so he gradually felt relieved.

Just now he saw his sister frowning and thinking hard, which made him feel very distressed.

Xia Daohua didn't realize that Wulang came specifically to cheer her up because he noticed her frown, but she was very pleased that this brother was willing to patiently talk with her.

She likes such gentle and considerate children.

Xia Daohua looked at Wulang with bright eyes, full of naked love, appreciation, and trust, and her face was always smiling.

Wulang's ears suddenly turned red. The feeling of being relied on by his sister turned out to be so good...

Wulang unconsciously avoided Xia Daohua's gaze and looked at the newly cultivated vegetable patch in the yard:

"The new rapeseed that Mom brought back from grandma's house is really good. You can see that this vegetable has grown into a big piece."

Xia Daohua smiled even happier and nodded repeatedly:

"Hmm, it's not just the rapeseed that's good! The weather has been good this year, and I heard that the wheat seedlings in our field are growing very well too!"

Speaking of Mai Miao, the brother and sister couldn't help but look at each other with smiles.

Grandma’s new wheat seeds are indeed very powerful!

Xia Daohua actually went to see the fields, and secretly compared her own fields with the fields of the old couple's big, two, three and five-bedroom houses.

In my own fields, whenever new wheat seeds are used, the growth of the wheat seedlings is particularly gratifying.

Just looking at the green posture makes people feel comfortable.

However, the difference between the wheat seedlings is so big, I guess other families should have noticed it, right? I don’t know if Xia Youtian and Jiang can keep the little secret of four rooms.

Xia Daohua guessed right, Xia Youtian and Mrs. Jiang were not very good at keeping secrets, especially in front of Mr. Xia and Mrs. Zhou.

Mr. Xia and Mr. Zhou asked about Mai Miao in front of other houses. Xia Youtian and Mr. Jiang told the truth honestly:

The seeds were bought from Jiang’s family, the quantity was small, and I don’t know if they were as good as others said.

After discussing it, the couple decided to try growing it at home first.

If the seeds grow well, they will be distributed to the family, and everyone will replace them with new seeds next year; if the seeds do not perform well, at least everyone will not rashly follow them and suffer losses.

The old couple believed these words as soon as they heard them; the third and fifth bedrooms also found them credible, but the eldest and second bedrooms refused to believe them.

The first room uses oneself to judge others, and feels that the fourth room is hiding an adulterer.

Madam Liu had a round face, but the words she spoke were like cold knives, which made both Xia Youtian and Madam Jiang feel chilled and heartbroken:

"Oh, I think back when we were not separated, the fourth child and his wife were just like a pair of quails, how honest and kind they were!

It's just a coincidence that at that time, the four siblings' natal family didn't even think about getting any new seeds. On the contrary, after the family was divided, there were new wheat seeds and new rapeseeds, and nothing was left behind!

"

Mrs. Liu always felt that although these two couples were hiding their adultery, they were not very clever. It was obvious that they couldn't hide it anymore, so she racked her brains to come up with such an explanation!

Who can be deceived by such nonsense?

The second bedroom also believed that the couple of the fourth bedroom was hiding an adulterer.

It's just that Sun felt it was Jiang's idea, and Xia Yougui thought it was Xia Youtian's idea.

The second wife and her husband even suspected that maybe the fourth child and the fourth child's family had not thought that it was so deep, and that the Jiang family must be behind this.

Looking at the aggressive Liu and Sun, the interested Wu, the slightly frowning Cheng, Lihua and Wulang were all a little nervous.

Seeing Xia Youtian and Jiang who were blushing but didn't know how to defend themselves, Lihua almost stood up to answer.

Xia Daohua and Wulang held Lihua down and didn't let her speak.

Although Lihua was a little confused, she was willing to listen to others' advice, so she only glanced at Xia Daohua and Wulang and calmed down.

When Dafang came back this time, he was originally here to carry food.

A big house in town costs a lot of money.

When the family was not separated, the old couple used their whole family to support their eldest son, Xia Dalang, to study at Songxi Academy.

I hope wholeheartedly to produce a true scholar.

After all, only by providing a real successor to the old Xia family can they honor their ancestors, change their lintel, and make the old Xia family truly prosperous.

In fact, in many places in the Chu Dynasty, if the whole family worked frugally and lived frugally to support a scholar, it was actually considered a small investment.

In some places, it is even necessary to use the efforts of the entire clan, or even the entire village, to support a scholar.

It's just that Beiguan Village is in a remote location and is on the border between the two countries. The folk customs are more martial than studying. Therefore, like the old Xia family, if they use their whole family to support a scholar, even if they invest a lot of money,

.

However, before the family was separated, the "strength of the whole family" was really the strength of the whole family. But after the separation of the family, the "strength of the whole family" was only the old couple!

Although it was agreed that after the separation of the family, the five heads of household and even the two daughters would have to provide the old couple with money for their retirement.

But that was the pension money, which was the coffin book for the old couple. With Zhou's shrewdness and frugality, how could he possibly use this money?

On weekdays, the fields cultivated by the old couple themselves are enough to feed the three of them.

However, "supporting Xia Dalang" is actually money to support the eldest son and his family in the town, which can only come from the leftover daily chews of the old couple.

This amount of money has shrunk a lot compared to before the separation!

At first, Mr. Liu didn't notice the difference.

You must know that on weekdays, Xia Youcai's family brings food and vegetables from the village. Sometimes Mr. Xia and Mr. Zhou will take the initiative to arrange for other sons to deliver them to the town;

In order to pay for Xia Dalang's studies, buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and establish good relations with his classmates in the academy, once the family has some income and some abundant money, they must subsidize him.

The eldest couple would go home from time to time to complain. In name, they borrowed money from their family, but in fact they never paid it back. However, Mr. Xia and Mr. Zhou sold their land twice for these things.

The anti-theft stamp has been replaced. I was in a daze today and I missed the time accidentally. Please forgive me. I am embarrassed to ask for votes today, but I still want a good night kiss. I love you, (づ ̄

3 ̄)づ! See you tomorrow!
