Chapter 80

Xie Rongzhao knew about this Xie Xiaolang. In her previous life, she seemed to have lost it when she was six years old. Whether it was winter or autumn, she couldn't remember.

Count the days, it will be next year.

Xie Rongzhao's heart is a little complicated. Since she was reborn, many people and things have changed, but she doesn't know if she can also change the fate of this poor Xie Xiaolang.

Xie Rongen strode over and lifted the bundle of firewood on Xie Xiaolang's back easily into his hands.

When Xie Xiaolang saw it was him, there was joy and admiration in his eyes.

Xie Rongen is the object of admiration for children.

He's strong, he works fast, and he can hunt.

"Thank you brother."

Xie Rongzhao also leaned over at this moment, reached out to take out a piece of candy from his purse, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Xie Rongzhao knew that Xie Xiaolang's life was not easy, unless he really ate it into his stomach, otherwise, he would have to be raided by the children of his uncle's family.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

Xie Xiaolang's uncle is called Xie Changgui. Xie Xiaolang's biological father, Xie Changfu, passed away a long time ago. He didn't die of illness, but because he was addicted to gambling. died.

In any case, people were killed after all, and in the end Xie Changfu's death earned him ten taels of silver in compensation for his life.

But the money was seized by the creditor before it was warmed up.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Xiaolang's mother also fell ill, and she went to the doctor to get medicine. In less than two months, she sold everything that could be sold in the family, and paid a lot of foreign debts.

Xie Xiaolang lost his parents, so the elders in the clan decided to let him live with his uncle Xie Changgui temporarily. Although Xie Changfu died, he still left behind three thatched cottages and two acres of land.

These two acres of land were saved by Xie Xiaolang's mother who would rather die than take out the land deed.

In the end, who would have thought that Xie Changfu would take the risk and think of becoming a thief.

At last two acres of Susukida were left, Xie Xiaolang asked the patriarch to make the decision and sold the land to pay off the debt. After such a toss, Xie Xiaolang only left three thatched cottages.

Xie Changgui and his wife didn't want to raise a idler for nothing, so they seized Xie Xiaolang's house on their own initiative, and then pushed him to do all the usual housework.

Most of the time, Xie Xiaolang works at home, such as feeding chickens and ducks, cleaning the house, cooking and washing dishes, etc.

Of course, they have to go outside to collect firewood every day. For the children in the countryside, this is not considered work, but almost like playing, so no one will think that Xie Changgui is treating Xie Xiaolang harshly.

It's just that after a long time, the big guys still noticed it.

For example, in the winter now, let a child work outside in only unlined clothes, and no one will believe that he has not been abused!
For this reason, the patriarch also approached Xie Changgui twice, but each time, at most, he could let Xie Xiaolang live a relaxed life for two days, and then he would go back to his old ways.

All in all, Xie Changgui was unwilling to raise Xie Xiaolang.

Xie Rongzhao's thoughts moved, can he persuade Father to adopt brother Xiaolang?
Xie Rongzhao thought that he didn't have any younger siblings in his previous life, so he should be able to fulfill his brother's dream in this life, right?

However, Xie Rongzhao obviously took it for granted.

When she told her beautiful father about her little thoughts, Xie Xiuwen's expression was very cold, as if he was not very keen on the matter of adoption.

"Baby, you are enough for us. Your mother and I have discussed it, and we will recruit a son-in-law for you later."

Xie Rongzhao's eyes widened: "But brother Jingzhou's family won't agree!"

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows: "Then just break off the engagement with him."

Xie Rongzhao's face collapsed: "No, no! Brother Jing Zhou treats me well, I don't want to marry someone else."

Xie Xiuwen joked, "Yo, you don't have to be ashamed! The little girl already knows she's going to get married? Daddy can't bear to be a cute baby."

Xie Rongzhao blushed, and buried his head in his arms, "Daddy is bad!"

Of course, Xie Xiuwen was just talking verbally.

He is still very satisfied with Cheng Jingzhou, his son-in-law.

Just when something happened to Guaibao, he was willing to take his manpower everywhere, which is enough to show that he has a heart for Guaibao.

"Baby, Daddy doesn't care whether you are a son or a daughter. The important thing is that you are my child. As for the future, if there is no son, there will be no son. There are many families without sons in the world. Don't they all live in the same way?" ?”

When Xie Xiuwen said this, he realized that it was inappropriate to tell his daughter about it, so he forcibly changed the subject: "I heard from your mother that you haven't touched needlework in recent days, but you think it's too difficult?"

Xie Rongzhao shook his head, still thinking about Xie Xiaolang's pitiful appearance.

Xie Xiuwen still can't understand what his cute baby is thinking?
"If Guaibao thinks he is pitiful, then we can also lend a hand to help, but we have to hide it behind our backs, and we can't do it too obviously."

Xie Rongzhao curled her lips, she still thought about taking it back and being her younger brother, wouldn't it be good?

But this kind of big event, even if she is a child, she can't count it.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, after lunch, you can hear the sound of firecrackers.

Xie Rongzhao also thought about it, but he was too timid to dare.

Xie Ronghui held her in his arms and stood under the eaves, watching Xie Rongen light firecrackers in the yard.

The lively sound really added a bit of Chinese New Year atmosphere.

In the evening, Xie Rongzhao and Xie Rongen went out quietly, they planned to visit Xie Xiaolang.

Xie Rongzhao felt extremely uncomfortable, she was the same age as Xie Xiaolang, even if she was treated harshly by her grandma and bullied by the eldest house, her life was not as difficult as Xie Xiaolang's.

During Chinese New Year, Xie Changgui's family was having a lively New Year's Eve dinner in the main room, but Xie Xiaolang huddled in a corner of the west room with a bowl of gruel and a steamed bun.

Xie Changgui's family ate and drank in the house, it was very lively, and they didn't even notice that anyone was coming.

As soon as Xie Rongzhao entered the room, he felt that the inside of the room was not much warmer than the outside, and then he looked at the shiny black quilt on the bed, it was hard and damp, with such a quilt at night, wouldn't Xie Xiaolang get sick?
Xie Rongen took out two meat buns from his pocket: "It's still warm, eat it quickly."

Xie Xiaolang blinked, thanked him and started to gobble it up.

Xie Rongen didn't dare to stay here with Guaibao for too long, it's not his home after all.

"This is my old winter coat, you might as well sleep under it at night."

Xie Xiaolang nodded while eating, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten meat, he couldn't care about anything at the moment, he just chewed quickly, for fear that if he slowed down, his cousins ​​would find out and snatch it away up.

Xie Rongzhao pursed his lips and said after a while: "After noon tomorrow, come to the small bamboo forest on the east side of the mountain, and I will bring you something delicious."
