Savage Fortune Little Landlord

Chapter 16
After giving the two of them enough time to think, after seeing the change in the eyes of the two of them looking at him, Xia rubbed his hands slightly, his eyes full of anxiety: "Father Aoki, I don't want to go against my father's words, but, I I really don’t want to see Father Aoki in trouble, and I don’t want people to think that I’m someone who will drag everyone down.”

"...Good boy, our A Que is the best child." Qingmei suddenly felt that her friend's purpose of keeping the child was not as simple as she imagined. "Qingmu, I don't think people should be so misunderstood about Cymbidium and Aque."

"I know." He already knew what to do, "A Que, can this lotus root be eaten like this?"

Xia Weiwei, who was thinking about how to get out of Qingmei's grandmother's embrace, immediately raised her hand and pushed her away: "Yes."

"Hei Shi, come with me." Without wanting to delay for a moment, Aoki called his son and was about to dig lotus roots.

Seeing this, Xia Weiwei, who was picked up by Qingmei again, hurriedly shouted: "Father Qingmu, I dug a lot back, I'll get it for you."

"A Que finally dug it back, Father Aoki couldn't bear to let others eat it." Turning around and rubbing the child's soft hair, Aoki spoke softly.

Opening her mouth, Xia Weiwei wanted to say it was okay, but she shut up after seeing Kami Aoki's apologetic eyes.

"Go to sleep when Ah Que is full." Aoki told Qingmei.

Although she didn't know what Aoki would do, but knowing that he would not make people wrong the child, Qingmei nodded: "Yeah."

"Grandma Qingmei, I baked these to eat tomorrow." Seeing that Qingmei wanted to hug her again, Xia Weiwei hurriedly said.

It's not that she doesn't like being close to Qingmei, but she's just not used to it.

Her parents left so early that she had already forgotten the feeling of being pampered by her parents, and her grandma, who depended on her for life, also went there not long after she got the university admission letter.

Therefore, after the closest relatives are gone, she can feel little warmth, and those who are willing to give her a little warmth are not hypocritical people, and they will not have any physical contact with her at all.

After a long time, she will feel uncomfortable when being touched by someone.

In order not to reveal her differences, and to prevent Qingmei from having the idea that she doesn't want to get in touch with her, Xia Weiwei has nothing to say.

"I was eating when Elder Brother Heishi came in. I heard him say that if you want to save money, I thought about roasting more today so that I don't need to light the fire tomorrow."

When she said this, if she wanted to talk about her purpose, the biggest purpose was to leave Qingmei's embrace naturally.

After all, compared to myself saying "I'm so economical, I will cook tomorrow's food today in order to save some fuel", it's better for Heishi to say these words intentionally or inadvertently.

What she didn't know was that Qing Mei had already had a problem with Ah Da and his wife, and after hearing what she said just now, she had the idea of ​​"the child is worried that we will be like Ah Da, regardless of her".

So, at the end of the sentence, when she saw the tears that quickly pooled in Qingmei's eyes, Xia Weiwei looked very at a loss.

She just had nothing to say.

I didn't want to connotate her.

"Ome...Grandma."

Qingmei forced a smile: "Mama's eyes are a little itchy, let your Papa Qingmu take a look."

Xia Weiwei: "..."

This lie is really out of mind.

But it was difficult for her to explain this time.

After all, Grandma Qingmei didn't say anything.

Scratching her head, feeling a little impetuous, Xia Weiwei sat down

Xia Weiwei didn't know, when she flipped through the taro leaf bag thinking how Qingmei would tell Aoki that she was 'sensible', and what expression Aoki would make when she heard it, Qingmei squatted by the lotus pond where father and son were digging lotus roots and cried loudly.

And Ah Da, who entered the tent as if avoiding it, didn't even know that after he explained to Fen Ying's mother and daughter in a low voice, the reason why he was like that today was all for his family's image among the tribe, and it was all for the sake of getting Aoki in the future. Heishi was speaking to Xia Weiwei indifferently when he was showing more sympathy.

"Are you ready?" When I came back, I saw the child digging the green plums in the soil beside the fire, and asked softly, as if nothing happened just now.

Seeing her like this, Xia Weiwei naturally wouldn't mention it sensibly, and raised her head and said, "Yes." Continue.

Squatting down, watching the child cover the fire tightly with soil, and then under the moonlight, watching the child's raised face, Qingmei stretched out her hand, and gently touched the child's hair.

"Aque, you have to believe that no matter whether it is your Aoki father or Qingmei aunt, they will not change. For you, we will never change."

Xia Weiwei: "..."

Although she estimated what the family would say, and also estimated that the family would feel more guilty for not taking good care of her because she was too sensible, but she did not expect that the family would make such a promise to her in the end.

This kind of words sounds like it is easy to do, but in fact, let alone do it, it is very difficult for people to say it.

"Go to sleep first, this fire will be extinguished by Qing Mei's mother."

Opening her mouth, Xia Weiwei changed her mind just as she was about to say that I know.

What she said would be suspected of being perfunctory, so it would be better not to say anything.

"Grandma, there are no dead branches on this fire, and the dry grass is all burned up, so there is no need for water, so just cover it like this."

Without questioning, Qingmei stood up without saying a word: "Grandma still has something to do, you go to bed first, and Grandma will be here in a while."

"...Okay." She actually wanted to say that she could sleep alone, but when she thought about it, she couldn't help but see the image of the woman who couldn't hold back her tears just now, and subconsciously vomited it out.

"Good boy." After rubbing the child's head again, Qingmei sent the child into the tent.

Xia Weiwei, who was sent into the tent, was tightly wrapped in animal skins, and her body temperature did not rise due to the pile of packages piled up on the side of the bed. fall asleep.

Soon, curled into balls, she fell asleep.

After notifying the tents of the men from various families, Qingmei came back after talking in the tents. Not long after she lay down, she found that the temperature in the tents was very different today.

Thinking of the fire covered in mud made her a little uneasy.

Carefully getting up, Qingmei came to the outside of the tent, and was very puzzled when she confirmed that although the fire covered by the mud still felt a little warm, the warmth was limited to the mud covering the fire and could not spread at all. .

When I returned to the tent again and felt the temperature difference between the tent and the outside again, my thoughts became more complicated.

She wanted to wake up the child and ask, but she was afraid that after waking the child up, she would ask something that she shouldn't have known.

Like fire, like lotus root, after listening to the child's explanation, Qingmei somewhat rejected them.

It's not because they are bad, but that the hard work of Cyphila spinulosa is in vain after they are exposed.

　Everyday shouting, asking for votes, asking for collections, investing...
