Chapter 135 Then I have to try it
After walking for a while, Liu couldn't bear it anymore and stopped by the roadside to rest.
Xia Daohua even deliberately angered her: "Aunt, aren't you very anxious? Why did you stop now? If you go this slow, how long will it take to get to town?"
Liu was so angry at Xia Daohua that her breath got stuck in her throat, unable to move. Seeing that no one was around, Liu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xia Daohua:
"Daihua girl, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but this girl needs to be quiet and well-behaved to be liked by others. If you are so sharp-tongued, be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future!"
Xia Daohua smiled happily: "I don't want to get married! If I really can't get married in the future, that would be great! Auntie, thank you!"
Liu was speechless for a moment. She patted her forehead and couldn't help feeling annoyed. Xia Daohua was only a nine-year-old child. How could she understand how getting married was like?
If I tell her this at this time, hoping to hit her, won't I be disappointed?
Liu panted for a while, finally regaining her breath. She was too lazy to pretend to be poor, so she said to Xia Daohua and Lihua:
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, both of you. Come with me and rest for a while.
When a horse-drawn or ox-drawn cart passes by, we'll get on it!
Auntie, please pay for it and we can take a bus to town. It will be faster than walking."
They didn't have to wait long before a carriage passed by.
The journey that would normally take more than two hours on foot only took less than half an hour by carriage.
When Liu brought Lihua and Xia Daohua into the house, they smelled the tempting aroma of food. Looking closely, Xia Youcai and Jinhua were drinking porridge, while Zhu was sitting below Jinhua, holding A Liu in her arms, feeding A Liu with egg custard and occasionally picking up a fried dough stick with chopsticks and taking a quick bite.
There were not only soy milk, fried dough sticks, and tofu pudding on the table, but also a basket of steaming dumplings.
This meal was nothing special to Xia Daohua, and it was just a daily routine for Xia Youcai's family. However, when Lihua saw it, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rising in her heart.
In the early years, before the family was divided, grandparents would often let their sons take turns to do hard labor to carry the harvest to the town and deliver it to Xia Youcai's home.
It was said that the family had to support Xia Dalang's studies. Life was not easy for the eldest wife, so it was inevitable that the family would provide some financial support for her.
However, the breakfast that the Xia family had was often black steamed bread made of mixed flour, or steamed bread made of millet flour, or sometimes cornmeal pancakes.
Xia Youcai's family actually ate the delicious fried dough sticks! This thing is made of white flour and uses a lot of oil, so it's very expensive! There is also soy milk, tofu pudding, and steamed buns, none of which is cheap!
The most important thing is that these things have to be bought from outside!
Now that their families don’t subsidize them anymore, they can live so well. What a wonderful life they lived when their families subsidized them?!
Lihua's face became increasingly ugly.
If I hadn't wanted to waste food, I would have overturned the table.
Although Xia Daohua didn't feel anything about this "luxurious" breakfast, she had already noticed that Lihua was really angry.
The coldness from the pear blossoms almost froze the summer rice flowers!
But if you look at the top of Lihua's head again, the flames are so blazing that they can almost light up the child!
Xia Daohua couldn't help but secretly click her tongue and made up her mind that before Lihua vented her anger, she would never take the initiative to provoke her and would definitely not be her punching bag!
When Xia Youcai met his wife and two nieces, he was a little surprised. Didn't they agree beforehand to trick Lihua here? Why did they bring Daohua here as well?
However, he still nodded to Liu, forced a smile, bared his teeth at Lihua and Xia Daohua, and asked nonchalantly:
"Here you are! Have you had breakfast yet? Do you want to eat something together?"
This question is very insincere.
Besides, the food on the table is calculated per person, and there is no extra food prepared at all. How can they eat it?
This is obviously just a halfhearted compliment!
Upon hearing this, Lihua's face suddenly turned darker, and the coldness emanating from her body became even stronger.
Xia Daohua couldn't help but take a step back, consciously keeping a safe distance from the ice block, and then said to Xia Youcai with a smile:
"That's great. My aunt-in-law was worried about home, so she asked us to leave early in the morning. My sister and I didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before we went out. Now my stomach is growling with hunger!"
As Xia Daohua spoke, she pulled a chair over and sat down very naturally.
After sitting down, he took the plate of fried dough sticks in the center of the table and the basket of steamed dumplings next to it, and put them in front of himself while turning around to call Lihua:
"Sister, don't just stand there like an idiot. Eat first!"
As Xia Daohua spoke, she took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks, apparently from her sleeve pocket, but actually from the storage area of the space supermarket.
She blew away the nonexistent dust on her chopsticks, picked up a steamed bun, tested the temperature with her lips, and took a big bite:
"Mm, delicious! This bun is stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork! The skin is thin, the filling is large, and it is rich in oil and tastes really good. Sister, eat it quickly! Otherwise, you will be hungry and can't hold the needle or thread. How can you help Sister Jinhua with the work?"
Xia Daohua's behavior shocked Xia Youcai, Jinhua, and Zhu, and angered Liu, but made the two beauties, Lihua and A Liu, one big and one small, laugh.
At first, when Lihua saw Xia Daohua climbing up the pole and sitting down to eat, she thought this was very spineless and was a little angry with Xia Daohua.
But Xia Daohua just made a few movements and said a few words, and the faces of everyone in the room changed. For some reason, my heart, which had been filled with depression, suddenly felt much better.
Lihua knew that Xia Youcai's family's behavior was extremely unfilial to the old couple, but as a niece, she had no right to accuse her uncle and aunt of being unfilial.
If the old couple didn't want to pursue the matter, no matter what she said, it would be irrelevant.
It was precisely because she knew all this clearly in her heart that Lihua's expression became increasingly uglier.
No one expected that Xia Daohua was just a little naughty and made Xia Youcai and Liu's faces look so interesting.
Lihua let out a long sigh, pulled a chair and sat down:
"Since it's so delicious, I have to try it."
Xia Daohua hurriedly took out another pair of chopsticks from her "sleeve pocket" and gave them to Lihua.
When Zhu saw it, she immediately felt it was very strange:
"Sister Daohua, when you go out, do you always carry several pairs of chopsticks with you?"
Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
