Chapter 252 Misunderstanding
The landlord was a connoisseur of goods, and when he saw the potato yarn, he couldn't suppress his jealousy.
In the heat of the moment, the words had already been spoken.
Jiang couldn't help but open her mouth and wanted to explain something, but Xia Youtian pulled her back and winked at her. Although Jiang was a bit soft-hearted and very proud, she would never disobey Xia Youtian. Seeing Xia Youtian stopping her, she took a step back.
Xia Youtian turned around and said to the landlord with a smile:
"Didn't our relatives send a message saying they were coming over? We have to vacate a few rooms for them in advance, otherwise where will they be able to stay?"
The landlord regretted the moment he uttered the sour words.
Seeing that Xia Youtian was so polite and handed him a ladder, he didn't want to continue to find fault. He just went along with it reluctantly, picked up the toilet, and walked away unsteadily.
Xia Youtian pulled Jiang, and Jiang held Huaihua in her arms. The three sisters Lihua, Xia Daohua and Linghua followed the couple and quickly left the yard.
After brushing shoulders with the landlord, Xia Daohua took only two steps before deliberately raising her voice and asking, "Dad, does the landlord have pink eye?"
Her clear voice sounded cheerfully, and her tone was so natural. When the landlord heard it, he stumbled and almost dropped the toilet.
Xia Youtian suppressed his laughter, bent a finger, and gently tapped Xia Daohua's head: "Why are you so naughty, kid? Even if you see it, you can't say it out!"
The landlord was even more furious after hearing what Xia Youtian said. But just as he was about to say something, he saw that Xia Daohua and the others had already walked away.
He had no choice but to empty the toilet in a huff, rinse it in the river, and then went home with a gloomy face.
Jiang asked with a little worry:
"The landlord's eyes just now were clearly looking at the clothes we were wearing. Aren't we a little too conspicuous wearing this material?"
Xia Daohua smiled and said, "The biggest advantage of this material is that it keeps you cool. If you don't wear it in this hot summer, do you have to wait until the cold winter to wear it?"
Xia Youtian also smiled and comforted Jiang:
"You, just think too much.
We paid money for renting the house, so we don't owe him anything.
Why are you so timid?
We are polite to him just to maintain good relations with our neighbors and to make things look good. It is not to wrong ourselves!
How can we leave our nice clothes unworn just because he said a few mean words? "
Xia Daohua smiled and nodded:
"In fact, this material is not rare, and the price is not expensive. Even if we give him one or two pieces, it is not a big deal. But we can't indulge his bad habits!"
Jiang thought about it for a moment and realized that what Xia Daohua said was true.
When Xia Daohua took out this material, she said that this material was called potato grain yarn, also known as Xiangyun yarn. It was light and thin, cool and pleasant, and most suitable for wearing in the hot summer weather.
This child has always been generous.
When she took out the fabric, not only did everyone in the four rooms get a share, she also gave two pieces to the old couple, two pieces for each room, and an extra piece to Cheng, Erlang, Taohua, and Zhou Yunniang.
Granny Qu, Qianniang, and Xia Dalang also each gave one.
I think it’s because the material is not rare or expensive.
Thinking of this, Jiang felt much more at ease.
She didn't know that this material was not expensive, but it was compared to fine products such as Sichuan brocade and brocade. In fact, this potato grain yarn was much more expensive than the ramie cloth and cotton silk they usually wore.
The family chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at "Rice Flower Fragrance".
The summer rice flowers entered the "Rice Fragrance" and the others returned to the backyard.
Xia Dalang had no female relatives around him, and Ah Liu was still too young, so Xia Daohua asked Jiang to make some clothes for him and asked Lihua to deliver them personally. This was also a way of letting bygones be bygones.
However, Xia Daohua would not take back the document of severance of engagement.
Originally, the breaking off of the engagement was not aimed at Xia Dalang.
However, the way Liu and Xia Youcai behaved at the beginning did not treat their own family members as their own relatives at all. Even if their own family members did not retaliate, at least they could no longer be their relatives.
But now, Xia Youcai and Liu are both dead.
Both of them died tragically.
The culprit, Jinhua, also disappeared.
Although Lihua couldn't help feeling awkward whenever she thought of the eldest couple and Jinhua, she didn't think it was a big deal as long as she took proper care of her cousin Xia Dalang and spent more time with him.
The couple from the fourth room also watched Xia Dalang grow up and have some friendship with him. Naturally, they would be more than happy to repair the relationship between the two rooms.
Xia Dalang accepted all the good intentions from the fourth room.
As a child, you should not point out the faults of your parents.
But he knew clearly in his heart that the quarrel between the two families was mainly caused by his own family.
In fact, he himself was not that innocent.
At the very least, he cannot escape the blame for two things: neglecting to care for his family members and indulging them in doing evil.
However, an accident and a war turned everything in the family upside down overnight, and Xia Dalang had to believe that his family was suffering retribution.
Now that the fourth room is willing to continue interacting with him, how could he not accept it?
Since both parties were willing to reconcile, the relationship between Sifang and Xia Dalang, although just a casual one, became more and more harmonious. When Xia Dalang was on vacation, he would occasionally come to Sifang's courtyard with books, holding A Liu, carrying a live fish weighing more than two pounds, or a glutinous rice belly, half a braised pork elbow, etc.
Say hello to Mrs. Jiang, chat about family matters, and then sit down with Xia Youtian to have a couple of drinks.
As the first and only great-grandchild of the Xia family, A Liu is fair and tender, and is loved by everyone in the Xia family.
Even Sun from the second house would show a sincere smile when she saw A Liu.
Whenever Lihua and other young ladies saw A Liu, their eyes would be glued to her and they couldn't take their eyes off her.
Xia Daohua also liked A Liu very much. Not only did she give her a cloth tiger and a rattle, she also carefully selected a starlight music box that could sing lullabies for her.
When Xia Dalang saw the music box, his eyes lit up surprisingly.
The look he gave Xia Daohua also exuded an inexplicable emotion and a family affection that was so strong that it was almost unbreakable.
Xia Daohua didn't react at first, but later she realized that to her, the music box was just an ordinary little gadget; but in this time and space, it was a treasure much more valuable than the exquisite glass products she placed in "Daohua Fragrance".
Xia Dalang must have been shocked that he had given such a "precious" thing to A Liu without even realizing it.
Judging from the look in his eyes, he obviously misunderstood me.
However, this beautiful misunderstanding seems to be harmless.
Xia Dalang's expression changed several times, and then he said as if he had made up his mind:
"Sister Daohua, I heard something..."
Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
