Mingshi is actually not very far from Mingxi County. In the future, it would only take an hour by high-speed train. However, now there are even few buses.
Xia Mian held Xiao Feng in her arms and sat in a wobbly red bus, stopping and starting on the national highway for five or six hours, and she almost collapsed.
Arriving at Mingxi County Station, Xia Mian couldn't wait to run off the train holding Xiao Fengping. She took two deep breaths before she felt alive again.
Xiao Feng also looked listless. The little guy was carsick and vomited after eating an apple on the way.
He spent two dollars to hire a three-wheeled rickshaw and returned to the Xia family.
The Xia family's house is next to Mingxi County Middle School. It has a good geographical location and was built by Grandpa Xia and Father Xia when Grandpa Xia was still alive.
Originally it was a large courtyard with six main rooms. Later, with the death of Grandpa Xia and the illness of Father Xia, the rogue Uncle Xia took advantage of the situation and robbed it, leaving only two rooms.
It was these two rooms that Uncle Xia kept a close eye on after Mother Xia passed away.
The gate to the courtyard was an ordinary wooden door with an iron handle. However, the wall was not high, and there was a dent in one place with obvious signs of easy climbing. Apart from the second branch of the Xia family who regarded the house as their own, there was no one else there.
After Xia Mian opened the door, he found that the yard was very clean. It was not the kind of ordinary cleanliness, but the kind of cleanliness that was as empty as if it had been swept by bandits.
In Xia Mian's memory, when the original body left, there were some charcoal, firewood, some old bricks left over from building a stove, empty bottles, etc. left in the corner of the wall.
It is these bits and pieces that are usually insignificant and you can’t remember when they will be used that make this yard full of the flavor of life.
Now, the yard is so clean that there is not even a tree branch. People who take things would like to sweep the soil between the bricks back to use for farming.
Xia Mian was so angry that she laughed, but she didn't have the energy at the moment. Fortunately, the doors and windows of the main room were locked and not moved, so the other party obviously didn't dare to do that.
After all, taking advantage of someone's opportunity is one thing, but breaking into a house by picking the lock is theft. If he dares to do it, even though they are family, the Xia family members will not forgive him.
He opened the doors and windows for ventilation, peeled off the dustproof blue checkered sheet, filled a basin with water and wiped the wooden bed and mat briefly. Xia Mian put the child on the bed and said, "Sleep for a while. Are you hungry?"
Xiao Feng's face was still a little pale, and she said listlessly, "I'm not hungry."
Xia Mian still went to the convenience store at the door to ask for some hot water, first made two bowls of milk powder, each of them drank a bowl, and then they both fell asleep.
Half asleep and half awake, Xia Mian suddenly noticed movement beside the bed. She was startled and thought a thief had entered. After all, she had locked the door before going to bed.
She opened her eyes slightly and saw a short and fat figure squatting beside the bed and rummaging through the suitcase she brought back.
Xia Mian recognized him at a glance. It was Xia Bao, the youngest son of Uncle Xia.
She sneered. In order to avoid scaring the child, Xia Mian quietly pushed Xiao Feng first. The child was a light sleeper and woke up as soon as she pushed him. Before he could say anything, Xia Mian quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, and the child covered his mouth consciously.
Xia Mian then picked up the large blue checkered sheet that had been casually placed beside him, suddenly stood up and covered the fat man with it, then picked up the broom next to him and beat him hard, shouting, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief! He's breaking into the house and robbing it in broad daylight!"
The man was obviously stunned by the beating. After being hit a few more times, the pain spread and he began to struggle and scream under the sheet, "It's me, it's me, I'm Xia Bao, Xia Mian, are you crazy?!"
Not wanting to listen to the nonsense, Xia Mian kicked the fat man down, threw away the broom, and picked up a more convenient feather duster to hit his face and buttocks hard.
There were many relatives of the Xia family living in this area. When they heard Xia Mian's voice, they quickly rushed over and saw that the wooden door was locked inwards, and there was quite a lot of noise inside.
There was a strong voice with anxiety, "Mianmian, is it Mianmian in there?!"
"It's me!" Xia Mian yelled while smoking, "Uncle? Uncle, I caught a thief and I dare not let go!"
"Hurry up, Xiaohe and Xiaochuan, go in and take a look!" Uncle Xia hurriedly made arrangements.
At that moment, two young men climbed over the wall, one opened the door to let the people in, and the other rushed into the house to help.
When Xia Chuan entered the room, he was stunned for a moment. He saw a pretty little girl in a skirt pressing down a figure covered with a blue sheet. The figure was quite big and was struggling violently.
Xia Chuan didn't have time to be surprised by Xia Mian's change, and hurried forward to help.
These days people don’t call the police. When they catch a petty thief, there’s only one word: beat him!
Xia Chuan was a young man in his twenties, and he didn't hold back. The struggling Xia Bao wailed, "It's me, it's me! Xia Mian, are you deaf?!"
Xia Chuan paused when he heard Xia Bao's voice, but saw that Xia Mian seemed not to hear it and treated him as a thief. He laughed secretly and showed no mercy.
The main reason is that this kid is so hateful. At such a young age, he has learned all the bad habits of his parents of taking advantage of others and stealing things, and he is even better than them.
Unfortunately, Second Aunt Xia was unreasonable, and relatives and friends were helpless and suffered greatly from her.
Of course, the ones who suffered the most were Xia Mian's family, who had no pillar of support.
Xia Chuan didn't expect that after returning from the city, his little cousin had become much smarter.
Xia Mian looked around, picked up the hemp rope from the corner, and tied Xia Bao's mouth through the bed sheet. Xia Bao was screaming with his mouth open, and he was tied up right now. The rough hemp rope ran across his big mouth and pressed down his tongue. He could not say anything except for a whimpering sound.
Xia Chuan saw two holes in the sheet due to Xia Bao's heavy breathing. Worried that he would suffocate due to the difficulty breathing, he quickly pinched his fingers to pull the sheet upwards, leaving him some breathing space. Xia Mian glanced at him, and there was a tacit understanding of cunning in their eyes.
A bunch of people came in from behind. When they saw Xia Mian tying someone up, they immediately came up to help. Then the young people who rushed up kicked the man without thinking, and only screams and groans could be heard from under the sheet.
A dark, thin, tall man walked in. He looked to be in his fifties, with bright eyes and a strong voice. "What's going on?"
This person is Xia Mian's father's cousin, so Xia Mian also calls him uncle. He is considered a close relative of their family.
Uncle Xia is an upright and responsible person. He is considered the patriarch of the entire Xia family. Relatives like to ask him to mediate and handle any major issues between them. He has also taken good care of the mother and daughter of the Xia family over the years.
Xia Mian said, "I came back from Ming City today. I was so tired that I fell asleep right away. Then I felt someone sneaking through my things. I was so scared that I covered him with the sheets when he came to my bed. Luckily, you guys came quickly."
"What kind of person is this? He is so bold that he dares to sneak into the house and steal things after climbing over the wall." said a young man.
He kicked the person under the bed sheet again, "You're really not afraid of death! Why don't you ask if our Xia family is easy to bully?!"
A whimpering cry of pain came from under the sheets.
Uncle Xia first looked at the graceful young girl with satisfaction, "Well, it seems that there are some advantages in the city. This is much better."
Xia Mian touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Well, I will study hard in the future."
Uncle Xia nodded in satisfaction. Then, looking at the man lying on the ground like a pile of flesh, he thought of something else. He frowned and said angrily, "Let's see whose family this kid is from. Either send him to the police station or to the ancestral hall for discipline!"
The young men started punching and kicking them first, then started to untie the ropes while cursing.
Suddenly, two people rushed in from outside the door, "Xia Bao?!"
The leader was in his forties, not tall, dark, thin and shriveled. Xia Mian almost thought he saw Song Xiaobao.
The woman following behind was plump and white. She rushed in and tried to lift the sheet immediately. However, because Xia Mian was tied tightly with hemp rope, she couldn't lift it up for a while.
However, these two people are biological parents after all, and even just by looking at the body shape, they recognized each other as their most beloved youngest son.
Second Aunt Xia burst into tears and cried, "Oh my God, Xia Mian, you actually hit your brother, you have such a dark heart!"
Everyone immediately understood. If it was Xia Bao, then it made sense.
The second branch of the Xia family is a top-notch family that gives the entire family a headache.
Second Uncle Xia likes to take advantage of others, even if it is just a penny, he will be happy;
Second Aunt Xia likes to steal things. No matter whose house she goes to, if she doesn't keep a close eye on her belongings, she will inevitably lose something when she leaves, even if it's just a needle.
The three children in their family were more or less influenced by it, with Xia Bao being the most affected. This kid combined the true skills of both of them.
The most infuriating thing is that Xia Bao is not very courageous, but very scoundrel. He specifically targets relatives and friends. So even if he is caught, Uncle Xia will plead miserably, and Aunt Xia will make a scene, but they will basically be defeated.
After Xia's father passed away, Xia's mother suffered the most because she was sensible and good-tempered, and the two families were separated by a wall.
But Xia Mian is not afraid of them. She will treat the gangsters more like gangsters than him, and treat the scoundrels more like scoundrels than him.
Anyway, she can be a fairy in literature or a barbarian in martial arts. She has many tricks up her sleeve, so who is afraid of whom?
"Second Aunt, what are you talking about?" Xia Mian said, "I just came back at noon, and I locked the door before I went to sleep. Brother Xia Chuan just jumped over the wall to get in. He's obviously a thief!"
Then he kicked the chubby boy again and said, "You dare to steal things from my house? I'll beat you to death!"
Second Aunt Xia glared at her and reached out to hit Xia Mian, "You did it on purpose. I knew you, this damn girl, had bad intentions. You came back without even saying a word. We're just across the courtyard wall. What's the harm in saying hello?!"
Just a greeting so you can come and harass us?
Xia Mian hid behind Uncle Xia, who frowned and shouted, "Chengzu family!"
Second Aunt Xia sat down on the ground and burst into tears, her voice drawn out. "That damned girl Xia Mian just holds a grudge against us. Now that she has her brother-in-law from the city backing her up, she looks down on our Xia family. She's specifically bullying me and her second uncle... The Xia family has produced an ungrateful person. She doesn't even recognize her own family."
It was a common occurrence in my memory, but the personal experience still amazed Xia Mian.
Moreover, Second Aunt Xia's voice was so loud and continuous that it was impossible to interrupt. Uncle Xia's face turned pale, "Chengzu, are you going to do anything about it?!"
Of course, Uncle Xia didn't care. He was anxious to untie the rope on Xia Bao. Xia Mian didn't know how it was tied, and the rope was getting tighter and tighter. Uncle Xia was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Xia Mian was given a headache by the noise, especially when she saw Xiao Feng huddled in the corner with a frightened look on his face. She picked up the feather duster, rushed over and gave Xia Bao another sudden slap.
He said to Second Aunt Xia, "Shut up! If you sing one more line, I'll spank him. If you don't believe me, try it!"
Second Aunt Xia had never met an opponent in years, so she was so angry that she rushed forward to snatch the feather duster from Xia Mian's hand, not caring about singing anymore. "You stinky girl, you are so rebellious! Do you still respect your elders?"
"Three sentences," Xia Mian waited for her to finish scolding, then dodged and slapped Xia Bao three times in a row.
After his mouth was untied, Xia Bao screamed and said angrily, "Mom, Mom, please stop talking!"
"You..." Aunt Xia was about to speak when Xia Mian raised the feather duster.
Second Aunt Xia shut up with her face flushed, but she was unwilling to give in. She looked around obviously looking for some weapon.
However, Xia Chuan and a few others separated her. They were reluctant to attack her, but were happy to see Xia Mian deal with her.
In the end, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia had no choice but to support Xia Bao, who was bruised and swollen and crying in pain, and leave.
"Wait!" Xia Mian stepped forward and grabbed the sheet draped over Xia Bao and the hemp rope held by Second Aunt Xia, "Put the things down!"
Second Aunt Xia yelled angrily, "What are you doing? You don't need this thing? You beat Xia Bao like this and you don't let him cover it up?"
"Why doesn't he feel ashamed when he steals things himself?"
Xia Mian exerted force on her hands and pulled all the things back. "I don't need them, but I'm not willing to give them to you even if I throw them away. What's the matter?"
"This is outrageous!" Second Aunt Xia was about to yell in anger, but Xia Mian raised the feather duster again...
The second branch of the Xia family left cursing. Xia Chuan gave Xia Mian a thumbs up and said, "Mian Mian, you've made great progress since your trip to the city!"
Uncle Xia looked at Xiao Feng in the corner and asked, "Where did the child come from?"
When Xia Mian took action, Xiao Feng hid in the corner obediently and didn't say a word. Everyone's attention was focused on the second branch of the Xia family, so even if they saw it, they didn't have time to ask.
Xia Mian reached out and picked him up, "This is Xiao Feng, my sister's child. Xiao Feng, this is great-grandfather."
Xiao Feng put his little arms around Xia Mian's neck and said timidly, "Grandpa."
Uncle Xia forced a smile across his wrinkled face, but his tone was a little sad. "Chunchun's child? He's grown so big already!"
Xia Chun was the only college student of Xia Mian's generation in the Xia family. Unfortunately, he died young. When the news of Xia Chun's death came, Uncle Xia also fell ill.
"Come back and stay for a few days?" Uncle Xia said, "Come home for dinner later and let Qiangqiang take the kids out to play."
"Okay. I'll pack up a little and then go over." Xia Mian was not polite.
Most people in Mingxi County use earthen stoves for cooking. When she just came back, the stove and pots at home were cold and empty. The key point was that the little firewood and charcoal left in the yard had been taken away by Uncle Xia, so there was nothing she could do even if she wanted to.
Everyone dispersed. Xia Mian and Xiao Feng changed their clothes and rested for a while. They took out the gifts that Huang Xiaoxia had given to Teacher Mi's family. There were many things suitable for the elderly to eat, which came in handy.
Uncle Xia's house also has a large courtyard with six rooms. When Xia Mian took Xiao Feng in, it was as lively as a vegetable market.
A woman in her fifties came out of the kitchen next door and greeted Xia Mian with a smile, "Mian Mian and Xiao Feng are back, the meal will be ready soon!"
It was my aunt-in-law. She always spoke gently and kindly, making people feel very comfortable. Just like this greeting, Xia Mian naturally felt that this was their home.
Over there, Xia Chuan had already set up a long table and benches. He said with a smile, "Dumplings when you go out, noodles when you come home. My mom cooked for us today, so we're having pork whistle noodles. We're all in for a treat!"
When Xia Mian heard this, her saliva started to water automatically. In her memory, her aunt's hand-rolled noodles were indeed a must-try, but also extremely labor-intensive. Later, her wrist became painful, and her family rarely let her make them. Today, in order to welcome Xia Mian home, her aunt made a comeback.
Xia Hai, the eldest son of Uncle Xia's family, picked up his own son who was lying on the ground playing marbles and patted him with his big hands to brush the dirt off the child, as if he was holding a pillow instead of a child. "So dirty! So dirty! Every day, can't you be clean for a while?!"
After taking all the photos that could be taken, he placed the child in front of Xiao Feng and said, "This is your little brother Xiao Feng. Let him recognize him and I'll take him out to play later. Got it?"
"Mianmian, take the two children to wash their hands. The meal will be ready soon."
There were no polite greetings, but Xia Mian felt warm in his heart and missed his family a little.
A dirty little hand grabbed the thing she was holding, and Xia Mian almost pulled it out of her hand. She looked down at the naughty monkey and asked, "What are you doing?"
Qiangqiang dragged out his words in a coquettish tone, "Mian Gu, this is the delicious food you brought back from Ming City, right? What's in it? Let me see it!"
A seven-year-old child is at the age when everyone hates him. Xia Mian patted his dirty hands and said disdainfully, "I brought some candy, biscuits, and milk powder. Quite a lot. Only give them to clean children."
"Oh yeah oh yeah!" Qiangqiang immediately ran towards the washbasin, pushing aside his second uncle Xia He who was washing his hands, splashing water everywhere. Those who knew he was washing his hands thought he was swimming.
Xia He couldn't help but kick him in the butt, "Wash properly! If you mess around again, I'll beat you up!"
He turned to look at Xia Mian and asked, "Why are you carrying so many things?"
Xia Mian smiled and said, "These were all given by neighbors in the city. Some of them are nutritional supplements suitable for the elderly, but I can't eat them, so I gave them to my uncle and aunt."
"You're being too polite," Xia He said with a smile. His eyes fell on the clean and well-behaved Xiao Feng, and he instantly said happily, "Is this Xiao Feng? She's worthy of being Sister Chun's child."
"Xiao Feng, I'm your uncle Xia He. Do you want to wash your hands yourself or should I do it for you?"
Xiao Feng leaned against Xia Mian's legs tightly. Seeing Xia Mian looking at him encouragingly, Xiao Feng whispered, "I can wash myself."
"Okay, uncle will find you a new basin. Don't share it with that mud monkey. It's so dirty."
"You are the mud monkey, you are the mud monkey!" Qiangqiang got his whole body wet while washing his hands. He jumped on Xia He and Xia He was so angry that he slapped him twice.
Xia Mian lowered her head and found that Xiao Feng's face was a little pale.
Xia Mian regretted his carelessness. All the children in the small county were raised in this way, fighting and playing, and everyone was used to it. But Xiao Feng was different. He had experienced abuse from adults and was traumatized by this.
Xia Mian hurriedly picked him up and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Uncle Xia He didn't really hit Brother Qiangqiang. He was just joking with him."
Xia He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this would scare the child. He was also wondering if the child was too delicate.
Xia Mian quickly winked at him. Xia He laughed and said, "Uncle only beats Qiangqiang when he's disobedient. Xiaofeng is so well behaved, how could uncle bear to beat him?"
Xiao Feng pursed her lips, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, and said timidly in her baby voice, "Be good, Xiao Feng."
Xia He was used to seeing his nephew being naughty, and now seeing such a well-behaved child, his heart melted. "Uncle knows, I won't hit Xiao Feng. Uncle will go get you some water, let's wash our hands and have dinner."
Afterwards, Xia He guessed that his family had said something, as it was rare for children not to be beaten at the dinner table at Uncle Xia's house. Qiangqiang was so proud and crazy, and Xia Hai raised and lowered his hand several times, and it looked like he was holding back his anger.
Xia Mian was both funny and heartwarming, but he still held Xiao Feng in his arms. The two of them were close together, and Xiao Feng ate with Qiangqiang's small bowl.
As for Qiangqiang, he had been shouting that he was an adult and should use a big bowl, and he was very caring towards his younger brother who used a small bowl.
The臊子面 made by my aunt-in-law smelled so good that even Xia Mian couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Xiao Feng hadn't eaten anything for almost the entire day, and now that the delicious food was in his mouth, he gradually relaxed, ate the last bite with great care, and reluctantly put down the bowl.
The aunt looked at him and smiled, "Is it delicious? Xiaofeng, do you want another bowl?"
Xiao Feng looked up at Xia Mian, who touched his stomach and said, "Our Xiao Feng can still eat half a bowl."
Xiao Feng pursed her lips and nodded to her aunt, her eyes full of joy and her legs shaking.
If there is a naughty child like Qiangqiang at home, adults can see something. A child who is so well-behaved that he suppresses his nature must have suffered great injustice.
The aunt served Xiao Feng another bowl, and after putting the bowl down, she naturally lifted up the child's clothes. The adults at the table who looked over almost changed their expressions.
Xiao Feng's injuries have healed a lot, but the dense green and yellow color on her snow-white skin almost covers her entire body.
As a father, Xia Hai couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Damn it..."
Uncle Xia glared at him, and Xia Hai stopped talking. However, he was still angry, and he didn't know how to express it. He simply picked up a large piece of meat and gave it to Xiao Feng, trying to soften his voice and said, "Good boy, eat more."
As one of the people who just "beat" Qiangqiang, Xiaofeng was a little afraid of him, but since this uncle gave him delicious food, he was a little at a loss.
Xia Mian touched his back and said, "This is Uncle Xia Hai, Brother Qiangqiang's father. Brother Qiangqiang was naughty, so his father taught him a lesson. Xiao Feng is very well behaved, and everyone loves you so much."
"Yes, the uncles love Xiao Feng very much." Xia He also picked up an egg with his chopsticks and said, "Wait a few days, Uncle Xia He will take you fishing, okay? It will nourish our Xiao Feng well."
The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, and Xiao Feng gradually relaxed, but he still didn't dare to leave Xia Mian.
No one wanted to ask anything in front of the children, so after dinner, the aunt took Qiangqiang and Xia Mian back to the Xia family.
Xiao Feng felt much more relaxed after returning to the yard. He knew that this was his aunt's home and there were only the two of them. Occasionally, he dared to follow Qiangqiang and run in the yard.
The aunt lit mugwort to fumigate the house and asked about the situation while she was fumigating. Xia Mian told her what had happened.
Hearing that Xia Mian had beaten up the woman, this gentle woman said, "Good job. Next time you go, let your brother Xia Chuan follow you. It's useless for a girl like you to use force." And the beating didn't hurt.
While helping Xiao Feng take a bath, the aunt carefully examined the child's body and couldn't help crying, "What a sin! How could they do this?"
Xiao Feng looked at her curiously, her big eyes clear and bright.
The aunt wiped her eyes and said, "It's good that you're back. In fact, your uncle didn't really want you to go to the city in the first place."
"The conditions there are good, but Zhang Qiming is already married and has children. How can he truly take care of you? As the old saying goes, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse. If anything happens to you there, we won't be able to take care of you."
"As for your second uncle's family," said the eldest aunt, frowning and sighing, "It's annoying, but they wouldn't dare to actually harm anyone. Now you're the only one left in your family. If he dares to do something bad to you and come to us again, your uncle won't forgive him."
"Yeah." Xia Mian had plenty of ways to deal with Second Uncle Xia, but he also did not let down his aunt's kindness.
"As for the Zhang family, I want to think of a way to move Xiaofeng's household registration back." She didn't have a clear idea about this matter yet, and she was not very clear about the household registration system and procedures of this era.
Uncle Xia has some prestige in Mingxi County and can help ask. After all, she is still at the age where she needs a guardian. I don’t know if it is okay to add Xiaofeng to the household registration book.
The aunt was about to speak but stopped herself. The class sighed and said, "Okay, no matter what, it's right to take the child back. He will always have enough food and clothes in our home, which is better than being beaten every day."
Xia Mian knew that her aunt was worried that she, a minor, would not be able to support herself with a child, but this matter was difficult to explain, so Xia Mian did not say much. After all, her aunt had good intentions.
The next morning, Xia Mian and Xiao Feng were woken up by the shouting and cursing from next door. It turned out that after a night's rest, Xia Bao was in so much pain that he couldn't get out of bed.
Xia Mian looked around but couldn't find the ladder. Mother Xia really hated Uncle Xia's family. After the other four rooms were extorted, she built a high wall around the courtyard, making it feel like a prison.
Although out of sight, out of mind, the sound cannot be blocked. The original owner and her daughter were used to it and turned a deaf ear to it, but Xia Mian is not so good-tempered.
She went out and picked up a few stones, then stood at the gate of the next courtyard. "Second Aunt, shut up! Are you going to let me sleep?"
"Sleep, you still can sleep, you beat your brother like that, don't you feel guilty?..."
Xia Mian raised a stone and said, "Don't you know very well whether I have a conscience or not? If you don't shut up, I'll smash it..."
"Go ahead and smash it! If you don't smash it..."
Accompanied by a "crash" sound, Aunt Xia's scream resounded through the sky.
Second Uncle Xia rushed out, his face full of heartache and said, "Whoever did this to my glass, pay me back!"
Xia Mian threw the stone in his hand and said with a smile, "Second Aunt asked me to do it. Didn't you hear me just now? She asked me to smash it. This is the first time I heard Second Aunt make such a request."
"Aestivation! You!!...Don't!!!"
Uncle Xia's angry words stopped abruptly at the moment Xia Mian raised the stone again, which showed that he had just heard everything clearly in the room.
"Can we be quiet now?" Xia Mian tilted his head to confirm.
Second Aunt Xia was about to say something, but Second Uncle Xia held her down tightly, "Xia Mian, what's wrong with you... Oh! Oh, that's enough, that's enough..."
Xia Mian then put down the stone in his hand and warned, "This is the last time. If you make any more noise, I'll smash all the windows!"
Second Uncle Xia said, "Then we won't argue anymore. Do you have to compensate us for the glass?"
Xia Mian shrugged and said, "It depends on your performance." He turned and left.
Second Uncle Xia said from behind, "You're here, aren't you going to see your grandma? She's been missing you for a long time!"
He couldn't help but reveal his purpose at the end, "Your grandma is old and wants to drink some elderly milk powder! Give it to me and I'll bring it to you."
This must be because he heard about what she sent to Uncle Xia's house yesterday.
Xia Mian rolled her eyes. Not to mention that Grandma Xia was not in Mingxi County at all, even if she was, people would not need her to send things. The old lady was a person who would treat her very well. She would never let anyone else suffer.
Second Aunt Xia was used to being domineering, and she didn't believe it. In the morning, she couldn't help but make a fuss again, but this time she didn't scold Xia Mian.
He directly cursed the ancestors of the Xia family. In short, the meaning was that the ancestors were not kind and the family was unlucky. When a bad guy appeared, he was a scoundrel who didn't even know how to compensate for his mistakes.
Seeing Xiao Feng's frightened look, Xia Mian became extremely annoyed.
She grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to the children playing at the door in front of Uncle Xia, who was standing by and watching. "If you hear them swearing, smash their windows. If you break one, you'll get a handful of candy."
"You were all throwing rocks together. With so many people around, who would know who did it? He couldn't find your parents."
“It counts every day.”
Uncle Xia was so anxious that he wanted to scold Xia Mian, but the children who got the candy were very active and heard a "crash".
It's finally quiet next door.
Summer hibernation is satisfied.
However, Huang Xiaojuan, who was far away in Ming City, was not very satisfied.
