The moonlight was like water, the children were playing, and Xia Jinjun took the initiative to hold his wife's hand and warmed her slightly cold hand with the warmth of his palm.
Xia Chen wanted to take it back, but Xia Jinjun didn't give her the chance and held it tightly. He knew that she was shy, but the children were playing together and couldn't see it at all.
When I got home, the Xia family came over to move the saplings.
"Why did you buy so much?" asked Old Mrs. Xia.
Xia Jinjun took a look and was a little puzzled. "There aren't so many in the county, but there are quite a lot when I move back home."
"Second brother, is it possible that it will increase in number by itself?" Xia Jinxiu asked jokingly.
"Of course not. Maybe it's because the ropes are loose now, so it seems too much."
Xia Zhiliao patted her chest, luckily she was not discovered. This was the result of her taking out her precious sleep time these nights to grow seedlings in the space.
This fruit tree has been improved many times. It is definitely big and sweet, and it is also resistant to common insect pests.
"By the way, mother, have you chosen a date for Jinheng and the girl from the Lei family's wedding?"
Old Lady Xia nodded, "In two months..."
"It's too late."
"Late?" Old Lady Xia cleared her throat. "I thought if it was earlier, the girl wouldn't be ready!"
"Grandma, don't you want Fourth Uncle to get married earlier?" Xia Zhiliao blinked.
"Of course I hope so. I've accepted you as my daughter-in-law and I'm looking forward to it happening soon." Old Mrs. Xia was afraid that her granddaughter would think that she disagreed, so she hurried to explain.
She is not a malicious, evil grandma with a bad heart.
"Mom, they are going to open a shop, and they want to get married as soon as possible so as not to delay the opening of the shop."
Old Mrs. Xia smiled and patted her thigh. "That's great. I'll go and pick a date tomorrow. The closer the better, okay?"
Xia Jinjun thought for a moment, "Let's leave some time so that our family can prepare. We can't let others think that we don't value it. No matter how many times the Lei family's sister gets married, it's the first time she marries into our Xia family. Although it's not as good as the Jin family, it can't be too bad."
Old Mrs. Xia nodded. This was natural. Now that she had accepted this daughter-in-law, she would not favor one over the other.
"Oh, second brother, you really look like the head of the family now." Xia Jinxiu teased, "But it seems that my second sister-in-law is wronged."
Xia Chen shook her head, "I don't feel wronged."
"How can you not feel wronged? When you married here, you weren't very prosperous, and your family didn't have much money. You have to let your second brother compensate you."
Xia Jinjun nodded, "That's for sure."
Old Lady Xia glared at her daughter and said, "Girl, I know you feel bad for your sister-in-law, but what else can you do? I've never heard of a couple getting married again after more than ten years."
Everyone laughed. Xia Zhiliao wanted to say, there are such things in the future, but it would not work here.
But she thought that the grand wedding was not important. What was important was every day thereafter, the love between her father and mother, and her father's true love for her mother.
The saplings that had been left overnight did not wilt at all. Although their roots were protected by moist soil, they were still not as good as those growing in the ground. However, the Xia family's saplings looked like they had just been dug out of the soil.
Everybody thought it was strange, and no one thought that it was the work of the little girl lying on the kang who could not get up until noon.
"This girl, it's so sunny and she's still not up." Xia Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I'll go call her."
"Don't shout. The child must be tired from going to the county yesterday. Let her sleep. Didn't her aunt leave some food for her? Just eat it when she wakes up. The child will grow taller if she gets more sleep."
If it were someone else, Old Lady Xia would have called her long ago, but her little granddaughter had to sleep as long as she wanted.
The day after the saplings and seeds were planted, the weather was nice and there was a drizzle, just the right amount of rain, not too heavy or too light.
If the rain is too light, it is not enough to do anything and it cannot moisten the land at all. If the rain is too heavy, it will wash away the soil and affect the seeds from breaking through the soil.
The Xia family unanimously believed that this was all the blessing brought by Xia Zhiliao, and that God had to give face to the little girl and take care of their family.
Xia Zhiliao felt really embarrassed to be praised, this really had nothing to do with her.
After finishing the work on the mountain, Xia Jinyu was able to take care of it alone, while Xia Jinjun was free to arrange a marriage for his younger brother.
The Xia family made such a big fuss that it was impossible for people in the village not to know about it, and the happy event was not hidden.
When someone asked, Mrs. Xia told them.
"Why so soon? It has to be your family. Otherwise there is no news. Once there is news, it comes one after another. It has only been a short time since the third child got married, and the fourth child is also getting married."
Old Lady Xia held Xia Zhiliao's hand and smiled from ear to ear, "It's fate. You've met a good daughter-in-law. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and marry her."
Xia Zhiliao smiled secretly. Her grandmother's character as a kind mother-in-law was completely established, and she was also working hard for it.
It seems that the character will not fall.
However, within a few days, people in the village knew Lei Jiuniang's identity, and rumors were flying everywhere, saying all kinds of things.
Old Madam Xia had no intention of hiding the fact that Lei Jiuniang had been married, but since no one asked, she couldn't take the initiative to tell them. The woman my fourth son is going to marry is a widow, which is not a good idea, right?
But since someone had said it, she couldn't let them spread it.
Old Mrs. Xia patted the dust off her clothes, put on her shoes, and looked very motivated. "Zhi Liao, go for a walk with grandma."
I've seen little kids clinging to adults, but I've never seen an old lady clinging to a child so much.
However, Xia Zhiliao also knew what was going on. Grandma was going to find someone to fight.
She has to go.
"Okay, grandma, aren't you going to take the brothers with you?"
"What are you taking them for?" Old Mrs. Xia asked with a smile.
She just felt at ease having her granddaughter around, and she didn't need her granddaughter to do anything, but when something happened, she liked her granddaughter to be around.
"Aren't you going to fight the Zhang family? My brothers have been practicing martial arts with Uncle Ling, and they are amazing."
Old Mrs. Xia laughed out loud at her granddaughter's amusement. "Grandma alone is enough to deal with them. Your brothers are boys. They will do great things in the future. It's not good to argue with two women."
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "Grandma, don't worry, I will protect you and will never let them bully you."
"Okay, okay, grandma doesn't have to do anything. Just shut them up and stop them from saying bad things about your fourth aunt. What's wrong with being a widow? A widow is a hundred times better than their daughters. Grandma cherishes her, and she is a treasure."
Old Lady Xia sighed, "Who said a widow can't remarry?"
Xia Zhiliao was smiling at first, but he saw a hint of disappointment in his grandmother's eyes.
[What happened to grandma? Is there something wrong? Did grandma also want to remarry? Who was it? How come I don’t know? ]
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xia laughed. She was not born yet at that time, so how could she know?
