Chapter 37 Big Changes in the Xia Family
There are also jar dishes, I need to think carefully about what dishes to make.
Because of the seeds, she hadn't had time to plant the peppers after arriving in Nancheng, so the ones she wanted to eat were the leftovers from her time in Mingyuan Town.
Fortunately, people here don’t eat spicy food. Even if there are some who can eat it, they are a minority.
Don't be in a hurry, take your time.
"Mom, can we buy a piece of land?" Now that my mother is awake, the family will be left to her to take care of.
In fact, she really didn't like being a housekeeper, it was very troublesome.
Mother Xia was doing embroidery. When she heard her daughter's words, she was stunned. "Why are you thinking about buying land?" Mother Xia put down the work in her hands and asked.
Although she was confused, she was aware of how lazy her daughter was and she would never resort to violence if she could avoid talking.
If you can sit, you will definitely not stand; if you can lie down, you will definitely not sit.
"Your father doesn't have time to manage the fields now. It's not good to buy land and let it go to waste without planting." Food is so precious.
"Mom, what are you thinking about? I just want to grow some chili peppers, which are a seasoning used in our braised meat. We can grow this ourselves." Seeing her mother's wild thoughts, Xia Yutong was speechless.
Besides, is she the kind of person who would waste her money if she has too much?
How could it be that the land is still barren? Even if she doesn't grow peppers, she will grow something else and will definitely not leave the land empty.
Mother Xia didn't know much about these things, but when she heard that they were used in her family's business, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell your father when he comes back."
The home was handed over, but Xia's mother had been single for many years, so things had to be done step by step.
"Okay, then, mother, remember this, don't forget it."
After her mother agreed to buy the land, Xia Yutong focused on her career.
It can't be made in a vacuum, but she produces many jar dishes, which are all prepared for people who walk on water.
Canning was postponed due to technological reasons, but there was a way out. We had to find some foreigners to get some rubber.
In less than half a year, Xia’s instant noodles became popular throughout the entire Nancheng Water Transport area.
He didn't know how many orders he received every day, so Xia Feng bought another yard to use as an instant noodle production factory.
The people inside were all bought from the pawnshop, and their loyalty is not a concern at all.
Spring passes and autumn comes.
Three springs and summers passed in a flash.
In the past three years, the Xia family has established a foothold in Nancheng and no longer has to worry about being found by those top-notch people like they did in Mingyuan Town.
"Mom, I'm ready. Let's hurry up, otherwise Sister Dandan will be angry." Three years have passed, and the naive Xia Yurong has grown into a grown-up girl.
Rongrong, who is already nine years old this year, has grown into a graceful young lady. Because she was pampered by the Xia family, the little girl has a very active personality.
"Why are you so anxious? Your eldest sister hasn't even come out yet." Mother Xia has changed a lot over the years, and is no less handsome than a wealthy family's mistress.
The aura of a noble lady is even stronger.
When she heard that her elder sister had not arrived yet, Rongrong did not dare to make any more noise and sat down quietly.
The maidservant beside Xia's mother immediately served tea.
Seeing her little daughter like this, Xia's mother looked helpless and said, "You are afraid of your eldest sister." All the children in the family are afraid of their eldest sister.
Tong'er is obviously very kind, and I don't know what they are afraid of.
"No way, mom, don't talk nonsense. I'm not afraid of my elder sister. She is so nice to me." Rongrong stopped talking immediately when she heard her mother mention her elder sister.
This child.
"Okay, Mom was wrong, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
After the mother and daughter had been talking for a while, a girl with a pink baby face, affectionate eyes under her eyebrows, and smooth black hair appeared. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xia Yutong.
Not to mention, Xia Yutong, who is fourteen years old this year, is so beautiful that it is hard to take your eyes off her.
"Mom, little sister, what are you talking about me again?" It would have been fine if she didn't speak, but once she opened her mouth, the voice was intoxicating to listen to.
"Sister, I didn't say that. Mom did." Rongrong immediately jumped up, ran to her elder sister in three or two steps, and clarified.
Mother Xia shook her head. "Child, I wonder who you inherited this personality from?"
"Okay, let's pack up and go to your Aunt Li's house." Mother Xia stood up and waved to the two of them.
Today is Aunt Li’s birthday. Aunt Li is also the first good friend that Xia’s mother made in South City.
She is at least ten years younger than Xia's mother, but she has not given birth to a child yet.
Life in the Zheng family was also very difficult.
Today is her birthday, and for some reason, the Zheng family actually asked her to host a banquet for relatives and friends.
The Zheng family is a traveling merchant family.
They run a water business and are a well-known family in the South City area. I heard that their family traditions are pretty good, but the mother-in-law is a little difficult to get along with.
Zheng is the only son in the Zheng family. While Mr. Zheng is still alive, he is the one who manages the household affairs. The man Aunt Li married is Zheng Yiyuan, the only son of the Zheng family.
I am now twenty-eight years old.
He got married late, and his wife was a daughter of the Li family. The Zheng family had an ancestral rule that one could take a concubine only if he was childless by the age of 30.
And how far is Zheng Yi from thirty?
I don’t know what the idea behind this year’s banquet is.
Of course Xia Yutong got to know her mother's friends, otherwise she wouldn't feel comfortable letting her mother get along with people from those big families, where she might accidentally eat their flesh and drink their blood without them knowing.
The Zheng family has a good family tradition, and Zheng Yiyuan also has feelings for Aunt Li Li Qiushuang, but the time has come for them to have children.
The two of them were not in a hurry and worked hard every night. The life of the young couple could be said to be as sweet as honey.
But Zheng's mother-in-law was not happy.
After being married for several years, she still hasn't given birth to a child. How can she be worthy of the ancestors of the Zheng family?
He just wanted his son to take a concubine and divorce his wife, which was impossible. The Li family was not someone who could be easily bullied.
In fact, this year's banquet was arranged by Zheng's mother-in-law.
The meaning is very clear, to take a concubine for his son.
Even if there are still two years left, you should keep an eye on the person first.
Li Qiushuang more or less guessed what her mother-in-law meant. She felt extremely distressed, but what could she do?
The woman had no children and she lost all her confidence.
Xia Yutong knew about this, but she couldn't help. Aunt Li couldn't believe that she was just a child.
I can only give her some spiritual spring water when she comes home.
I don’t drink much each time, but after counting the days, I’m afraid my health is fine now.
Whether she is pregnant or not, we don’t know.
At least she must be in good hands now.
The Xia family's carriage was moving on the road. Rongrong was in an active mood, looking around here and there, never at peace for a moment.
"Don't move, or you'll be scolded by Granny Zhou." Granny Zhou was Rongrong's teaching nanny, and she was very strict with her.
Of course, that's just on the surface, but I don't know how much he likes this second young lady in private.
"Sister, you are bad." She just knew to use Grandma Zhou to scare her.
Grandma Zhou, who was sitting outside the carriage, curled her lips.
"What's wrong with that? I'm telling the truth. Be careful or Granny Zhou will punish you later." It's true that he comes from a farming family, but he still has to learn the necessary etiquette.
If you can make progress, you must move forward.
"Hmph, bad elder sister." Rongrong calmed down, turned her back angrily and ignored her elder sister.
The Xia family was not far from the Zheng family, and the carriage arrived soon.
