Father's love is like a mountain

Chapter 44 Children

Zhou'an County.

Xia Qilie was sitting upright, facing the post under the oil lamp.

A few days ago, my mother and aunt came to see them, hugged him and cried, "Why did he lose so much weight", "He got sunburnt", "I want to settle accounts with your father", he was like crazy.

Xia Qilie thought he would be taken back to Xia Mansion by his mother to enjoy the blessings.

As a result, the mother left that day.

Only my aunt and a thick stack of paper were left behind.

"Your father asked you to do social practice. Although mother doesn't understand, your father is capable. His decision is definitely not wrong, so mother will not object. But you can't delay studying for social practice. From now on, I will write 300 posts every day. Words, memorize for an hour, and your aunt will check it every day."

Mother, you might as well not come...

"Go out and play." Xia Qixiong kicked his chair.

Xia Qilie frowned, he wrote a word crookedly just now, the whole paper had to be copied again.

"Brother Xiong, go by yourself, I still have to finish my homework."

"Let's play together," Xia Qixiong patted his head, "We'll finish the copying for you later."

Xia Qilie grinned: "No need, thank you Fourth Brother Xiong. Father said, do your own business."

Xia Qixiong said with a smile: "What does it matter, we are brothers, we should help you."

Xia Qilie just shook his head.

Seeing that he couldn't resist him, Xia Qixiong could only sigh and lie back on the creaky wooden bed, chatting with Xia Qilie casually.

"Little brother, mother said that there are ghosts haunting the nearby counties, do you think it is true or not?"

"Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. Rumors can't be trusted, seeing is believing."

"You're still a child, why don't you speak so maturely!"

"Ha ha."

"Little brother, our social practice, counting the days, is coming to an end. Recently, we have delivered goods to our own stores in several nearby counties every day with the caravan. Let me test you. Do you think our stores are the most profitable? What is the cargo?"

"Porcelain, cloth, and MSG."

"...Not bad. Brother, the daughter of the shopkeeper of the Zhenxin firm we went to the day before yesterday was beautiful, right?"

"pretty."

"Go back and beg your parents to let me be your daughter-in-law, okay?"

Xia Qilie glanced back, serious: "Brother Xiong, I'm still a child."

Xia Qixiong couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a handsome young man stood at the door.

Xia Qixiong was stunned for a moment, but Xia Qilie had already put away the pen and paper, ran over and bumped into the man's arms. "father!"

Xia Yongchu touched his head, "Lie Er."

He looked at Xia Qixiong again, "Xiong'er."

"Father." Xia Qixiong jumped off the bed and saluted respectfully.

"Why are you acting like an adult? Come here and give me a hug!" Xia Yongchu laughed.

Xia Qixiong lowered his head, his eyes were red, he walked over slowly, and hugged Xia Yongchu awkwardly.

When he was a child, when he was with his biological parents, he didn't like to hug them.

After all, they are boys, so they should not be too pampered. Xia Yongchu only hugged them for a few seconds before letting them go, and then took out the presents he bought on the way and gave them to them.

After sitting down again, Xia Qilie couldn't wait to talk about his recent performance, hoping to get his father's praise.

Of course Xia Yongchu would not be stingy with a few words of praise.

"Father, where have you been these days? Mother said you were not at the house." After Xia Qilie finished coquettishly, Xia Qixiong asked curiously.

"Oh, I found some new partners and went to discuss business." Xia Yongchu said casually.

"Go to Jiang Country to discuss business?"

Xia Yongchu's eyes were fixed.

Xia Qixiong smiled and pointed to the gift Xia Yongchu gave him just now. It was a sword whose decorative function was far greater than its actual function. The scabbard was inlaid with precious stones and was very valuable.

"Father, you gave me this gift. Look at the feathers on the scabbard. They are made from the tail feathers of a kind of ibis that is a specialty of Jiangguo. As far as I know, these feathers are used to make arrows." Good material, Jiang Guo does not allow this kind of feather to be sold outside on a large scale, it is very difficult to see in Chu State, so you should buy it locally in Jiang State."

Xia Yongchu nodded: "That's right, several business partners are from Jiang Guo."

Xia Yongchu was not surprised by Xia Qixiong's performance.

Although this child is only 11 years old, he is a genius, different from ordinary people, isn't it normal?

Xia Qixiong's intelligence is the first among his disciples, Xia Yongchu has known this for a long time.

Reading books can read ten lines at a glance and recite them from memory; he personally taught several children math problems, and only Xia Qixiong can understand them at a glance and draw inferences from one instance.

Judging from the system panel, this child's natural understanding is the highest among the seven children.

Although at first the aura was not enough to practice, but now Xia Yongchu has used pills to boost up his various attributes.

To say that Xia Yongchu's favorite in his heart must be his own son, blood is thicker than water.

But to say that he has the highest expectations, it must be Xia Qixiong.

This kid is a true genius.

It's just that I'm usually used to hiding my clumsiness, not showing the mountains and not showing the water
Chatted with the two children, although Xia Yongchu really wanted to talk to them more, especially Xia Qilie, but it was too late, and he couldn't favor one over the other, so he had no choice but to harden his heart and go find the other children.

Xia Qiwu, who is silent and introverted, Xia Qiwen, who likes to make up his mind, Xia Qiying, who is always intimacy...

He didn't come to the girls' room until he had met several boys.

So I didn't break in directly. After all, the two girls have grown up and must avoid suspicion.

He raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard Xia Qilan's voice, "Sister, did mother bring you a letter when she came over yesterday?"

Xia Qizhi's voice was a little cold: "Letter? Whose letter? No one wrote to me."

Xia Qilan smiled and said: "Cut, I don't believe it. The prince of Qidong County didn't write you a letter? He wrote me a letter, saying that he wanted to give me a gift and asked me to persuade you."

Xia Qizhi's voice became colder: "I don't want to hear that name."

Xia Qilan smiled innocently and romantically, with a kind of ignorant heartlessness: "My good sister, the prince of Qidong County, must be better than the prince of Zenan."

Xia Qizhi was angry and amused: "You have not received the gift yet, and you are talking for others?"

Xia Qilan smiled and said, "Didn't you say you hate the son of Zenan Prince? If you marry the son of Qidong County, you don't need to marry the son of Zenan Prince."

Xia Qizhi said calmly: "I don't want to marry anyone. I can't even be a main concubine, let alone just marrying to be a side concubine."

Xia Yongchu didn't eavesdrop anymore, as a father, eavesdropping on his daughter's conversation would be embarrassing if someone found out.

He raised his hand and tapped hard.

The conversation in the room died away.

"Who is it?"

"it's me."

"It's dad! Dad is here!" Xia Qilan's voice was full of surprise.

There was only a sound of crackling and stumbling, and she kicked down a few stools along the way, and soon the door was opened, and Xia Qilan's cute little face appeared in front of Xia Yongchu.
