Chapter 55 I don't miss her As soon as

this was shouted, all the aunties standing aside were silent, and everyone focused their eyes on Niu Xianhua.

Niu Xianhua, who was slapped in the face in public, immediately became complicated, jealous and ashamed.

Xia Qingxi heard the shouting and walked out of the yard. When she turned around, she saw a group of women watching and Uncle Li who hurried over.

"Qingxi, quickly ask your mother to come out and move the things." Uncle Li looked at Xia Qingxi and urged.

"Uncle, my mother is not at home, I will move it." Xia Qingxi said and was about to go out.

"They are all several dozen kilograms. You have been in poor health since childhood. How can you move them with your thin arms and legs?" Uncle Li stopped them hurriedly. After saying that, he suddenly looked at the women standing aside and asked with a smile:

"Are you all free? Why don't you come out and lend a hand and help move it?"

Niu Xianhua had just been slapped in the face, and now she was asked to help her mortal enemy move things. She was furious and asked unhappily:

"How did you see that we were free?"

"I'll go, I'll go." Aunt Jinhua on the side hurriedly came out and said.

The other aunts saw her go and thought that since they were from the same village, it would be easy for them to lend a hand, so they followed her.

Niu Xianhua was left standing there awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Soon, everyone came into the yard carrying large and small bags of things.

Pork, beef, oil, rice, noodles, sugar... the yard was almost full of them.

The auntie who came in last, whether intentionally or unintentionally, put down the oil in her hand and said to Niu Xianhua:

"Xianhua, these things sent by Xia's son-in-law are really more precious than the potatoes and sweet potatoes sent by your daughter."

Niu Xianhua was choked and speechless for a while. After a long time, she said:

"Isn't it just a little rice and noodles? It's nothing great to send it once in three years."

Xia Qingliu, who turned around to go back to the house, heard this. She didn't say anything and continued to go into the house. When she came out again, she was holding a bag in her hand.

Seeing Xia Qingxi coming out, with her fair and pretty face, wearing a water blue top and a new and beautiful skirt, an auntie couldn't help but praise her:

"This girl Qingxi is pretty and well-dressed. You can't buy that kind of clothes and skirt in our market."

Niu Xianhua glanced at Xia Qingxi and saw that she was indeed well-dressed. She was jealous in her heart, but she couldn't help but belittle her:

"She is dressed brightly, but she doesn't buy anything for her mother and brother. Look at what Guo Yumei and her two sons usually wear. The patches on their clothes are all tied into a ball. If you give them a stick, they can go begging directly."

Xia Qingxi, who was walking over, heard this again. She still didn't say anything and started to give candies to the aunties who had just helped, saying as she did so:

"Thank you for your help today. Thank you for your care for my family. Please take care of my family in the future."

The colorful fruit candies wrapped in plastic wrappers made a crisp sound when touched. Xia Qingying was very generous and gave everyone a handful. When she got to Niu Xianhua, she looked at the bag and said apologetically,

"I'm sorry, Auntie Xianhua, the candies are gone. I'll give you more next time I come back."

Niu Xianhua stretched out her hand to take the candy, but when she heard Xia Qingying say this, she could only withdraw her hand in disappointment.

At this time, Xia Qingying looked at the woman next to her and said,

"Auntie, I remember you used to make clothes for others, right?"

"Yes, I still do it now." The woman said as she put the candy into the bag.

"I'm afraid the clothes I buy won't fit, so I bought some cloth. Can you help my mother and my brother make a few pieces? I'll pay you for the labor."

"Okay, okay." The woman nodded and agreed.

At that time, most people in the countryside wore "recycled cloth", which was torn old cloth and then rewoven. The texture of the cloth was particularly rough.

Looking at the cloth that Xia Qingli took out of the bag, the aunt's eyes lit up and praised:

"This cotton cloth looks really good and feels soft. It's really good stuff." Then she turned to look at Niu Xianhua:

"Xianhua, you touch it too."

Niu Xianhua was completely embarrassed now. How could she dare to touch it? What would she say if she touched it? Would it be more comfortable than the fabric of her own clothes?

Not wanting to stay here and continue to be irritated, Niu Xianhua said that she had something to do at home and walked back in disgrace.

After moving everything, everyone got candy and went home happily.

At this time, Guo Yumei was walking home with her youngest son Xia Qingcao. The boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, carrying a large load of grass on his back, and his small body was bent. Guo Yumei asked several times that she would carry it, but the boy stubbornly refused.

Guo Yumei had no choice but to follow her son, saying as they walked:

"Aren't you looking forward to your sister coming back every day? Now that she's back, why are you still upset?"

"Who's looking forward to her coming back?" The little boy looked very angry, and his tone was stiff:

"She doesn't want us anymore, so I'm not looking forward to her."

Guo Yumei knew that her son was saying one thing and thinking another, so she smiled and exposed his true colors:

"You're still being stubborn. You were raised by your sister and have depended on her since you were a child. Who was crying secretly under the quilt when she left last time?"

"Anyway, it wasn't me." Xia Qingcao said in a sonorous and forceful voice, deliberately quickening her pace, obviously not wanting to listen to Guo Yumei continue.

Guo Yumei also quickened her pace to catch up with her son, trying to comfort him:

"Your sister's life in the city is not easy either, she has us in her heart..."

"Come back if it's not easy." Xia Qingcao interrupted Guo Yumei and said loudly.

Guo Yumei saw that she couldn't convince her son, and he even yelled at her, so she became unhappy and raised her voice to ask:

"What are you doing back? Is she starving to death? Or do you want to raise her?"

"I'll raise her!" the boy said unconvinced. Although he was still trying to be strong, he was obviously much weaker.

The half-grown child looked a little more adorable with his puffy cheeks because of anger.

Guo Yumei looked at her son and suddenly laughed out loud:

"You just said you didn't miss her and didn't long for her, but now you say you want to support her. Aren't you contradicting yourself?"

Xia Qingcao was exposed for her disguise and was very unhappy. She ignored him and walked away with the grass on her back.

The two finally returned home. Xia Qingxiang came out to greet them. Looking at the boy in front of him, he was barefoot, with mud on his rolled-up trouser legs, his face was tanned black and red by the sun, and he was carrying a large backpack of grass on his back. His small body was already bent very hard, as if he would fall down in the next second because of the gravity.

Somehow, Xia Qingxiang suddenly felt distressed and called his name:

"Qingcao."

Then he walked over and wanted to help him catch the backpack.

The boy deliberately avoided her hand, did not answer, did not look at her, walked to the side, put down the basket, and began to feed the rabbits in the cage.

"This child." Guo Yumei wanted to continue to ease the relationship between the two, and said:

"Qingcao, come in quickly, your sister left you a fried egg." After saying that, he was about to go to the house, and turned around to find that there were many more things in the yard, including rice, flour, oil, etc.

Just when she was about to ask Xia Qingli what was going on, she saw Lu Jingqi and Xia Qingshu walked in. Lu Jingqi was holding a bag of flour in his hand. Recalling that he had just asked his son if he had a car, he didn't understand that all these things were bought by him.

Xia Qingxi, who was standing nearby, looked at Xia Qingshu who came in, and then realized that his walking posture was not right, so he asked Guo Yumei beside him:

"I remember that my brother's right foot was broken, how come his left foot is also..."

Xia Qingcao, who was standing nearby, had originally relaxed his expression, but after hearing this, he suddenly became more angry, and yelled at Xia Qingxi:

"How dare you ask, it's all because of you!"
