Chapter 201 Adding Firewood
Xia Daohua's words left the whole family silent.
They knew that although at first glance the child seemed to be frightened by the war and was getting too obsessed with it, if you think about it carefully, it was indeed the truth.
If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
Who wants to live in a life where one day you can't be sure of your future? Even if you are lucky enough to be blessed by God this time, what about the next time? What about the next time? Who can guarantee that God will bless you every time?
When Xia Daohua saw that Xia Youtian and Jiang's expressions had relaxed, she knew something was going to happen, so she added more fuel to the fire:
“Although we are at the border now, we are civilians.
If we don't take this opportunity to move out quickly, as the war becomes more and more intense, we might end up becoming military households.
If you become a military household, not only will you not be able to study and take the imperial examinations, but even if you want to earn a living in peace and stability, it will be impossible. Your life will be extremely hard.”
Xia Daohua knew that Wulang, as the only male in the fourth room, was smart and sensible, and had always been the apple of the eye of the couple.
Although Xia Youtian and Jiang Shi did not talk about their son all the time like some other families, the one they loved most in their hearts was still their only son Wulang.
If the fourth branch of the Xia family was designated as a military household, not only would Xia Youtian have to go to war, but Wu Lang would also not be spared. Swords and knives have no eyes, and once you go to the battlefield, whether you can come back alive or whether you will be missing limbs or not is something that no one can predict.
On the contrary, the daughters do not need to go to the battlefield.
When she reaches the age to get married, there is still some hope that she can marry into a commoner family.
As it concerns Wu Lang's life and future, Xia Youtian and Jiang were immediately persuaded by Xia Daohua. However, if the fourth room was asked to escape on its own, they would definitely not agree.
No matter what, we must bring the old couple and all the brothers and sisters along.
Xia Daohua also knew that it was not easy to get to this point. As for persuading Xia Youtian and Zhou, considering Xia Yujiao, Xia Daohua felt that Zhou would most likely listen to her advice.
And as long as Zhou is persuaded, Mr. Xia will naturally have Zhou to settle the matter.
Xia Youtian seemed to be thinking about something. He was struggling over whether he should continue to wait for news from his elder sister Xia Xuejiao or take the risk and go to his elder sister's house directly.
My eldest sister is smart and capable, so most likely nothing will happen to her.
However, where the rebels pass, sometimes there is no room for people to maneuver at all.
Xia Daohua noticed Xia Youtian's expression, but she only thought that Xia Youtian was worried about the issue of fleeing and relocating, and did not guess that he was actually worried about Xia Xuejiao.
Jiang also remained silent.
Although she didn't say it out loud, she had already decided that as soon as the war was over, she would go back to her parents' home and tell them the news.
Not to mention that her family has always been very helpful to her, just considering that she is going to follow her husband and move to another place, she has to explain everything clearly to her family!
Seeing that their parents were both in deep thought, Xia Daohua pulled the sleeves of Wulang and Lihua, and the children quietly slipped away. Linghua, who had been silent the whole time, also tiptoed and followed her brothers and sisters.
Only the youngest baby, Huaihua, was still sleeping in his cradle, with no reaction to his parents' expressions or his older siblings' little movements.
After experiencing this disaster, even Liu Lang and Zao Hua from the fifth room became much more sensible and quiet.
In the entire Xia family, the only ones who are still carefree so far are the little A Liu and the even smaller Huai Hua.
The four children, Lihua, Wulang, Xia Daohua and Linghua, walked out of the door of the fourth room silently and went to the village.
Almost everywhere in the village, there are houses that have been demolished and smashed to pieces, and there are also many broken walls and ruins after being burned. It is shocking to look at.
Many families have been busy repairing their houses these days, working day and night without a moment's rest.
There is no way to grow the crops in the fields. At this point, it is too late to plant anything.
At most, you can plant some radishes and cabbages, but by the time the frost falls, they may not have grown. No matter how diligently you apply fertilizer and weed, they can only grow to half their size at best.
The winters in Beiguan Town are always very cold, and it is impossible to survive the winter by relying solely on radishes and cabbages.
Xia Daohua looked at the villagers who looked desperate but were still calmly busy with their work, and couldn't help but feel some unspeakable compassion from the bottom of her heart.
Everyone has compassion. In her two lives, Xia Daohua has always considered herself a cold-hearted and selfish person, but she can never erase her compassion.
Want to help them get through the winter?
Xia Daohua could easily solve the food problem. The real difficulty was how to conceal the source of the food. This matter might fall on Li Gan's head in the future.
Xia Daohua was thinking about how to get Li Gan to take the blame voluntarily, and she didn't even hear what Lihua said to her.
Lihua was so angry that she pulled the plump flesh on her cheeks. Xia Daohua finally reacted:
"Ah? Oh, sister, my hands are sore and it hurts..."
Lihua lowered her voice and asked angrily:
"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about that guy who's wrapped up like a dumpling again?"
Xia Daohua was shocked. Could it be that Lihua had evolved the ability to read minds in just these few days?
However, Lihua's next words instantly solved Xia Daohua's confusion:
"My mother fried some bacon, and you eagerly brought her a bowl! Tell me, little girl, are you obsessed with her?"
"Let me ask you, you came out of someone's house smiling so beautifully, like a little fox who stole a chicken... What benefit did he promise you that made you so happy?"
"I'm telling you, Xia Daohua, a young man from a wealthy family like this is not something that a peasant like us can dream of. If you don't want to be embarrassed and sad, give up on this idea as soon as possible!"
It turned out that Lihua had misunderstood. Seeing Xia Daohua running into Li Gan's room late at night, she thought the little girl had fallen in love and was fascinated by Li Gan's appearance and identity.
Xia Daohua was too lazy to explain and just looked confused:
"Sister, what are you saying? I don't quite understand.
I'm just selling some golden medicine, what's there to be ashamed of? Who said anything to you?
Besides, I settle the bill on the spot, I pay and receive the goods at the same time, so there is no chance that I won’t get the money back and I won’t be sad!
Li Gan was quite happy to give the money, really!
Even though he is an official, he does not bully others in business and is very particular about fair trade. "
After Xia Daohua said this, Lihua looked at Xia Daohua's confused little face with half belief and half doubt, and subconsciously glanced at Wulang.
Wu Lang coughed, hinting Lihua not to reveal herself. Lihua withdrew her pleading gaze, continued to stare into Xia Daohua's eyes, and asked directly:
"Did you really come up with the idea of moving? Wasn't that Li the one who instigated you to do this?"
Crouching quietly in the bushes disguised as a mushroom, silently begging for votes...
