Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 47

There is a lot of noise outside the window, there are matchmakers who deliberately raise their congratulations repeatedly, mothers who make promises that are almost flattering, and acquainted village women who pretend to be flattering, and ignorant children who run around laughing, occasionally bumping into people, and changing. Mr. Lai cursed impatiently in a low voice.

Xia Hua sat quietly on the top of the kang, raised her eyes, and there were boxes of exquisite betrothal gifts on the opposite kang, her eyes were lowered, and the new clothes on her body were particularly glaring.

She stretched out her hand and spread her five fingers that had been clenched tightly, revealing the small pouch inside.

Looking at it, tears fell down. Could it be that before she got married, she would never see him again, and didn't even have a chance to ask the last sentence?
After sitting in a daze for an unknown amount of time, the bustle outside finally dissipated.

"Sister, the guests are all gone, mother asked you to eat." Nine-year-old Daqiang walked over while gnawing on the greasy chicken leg, and knocked on the doorway.

"Yes, here we come." Xia Hua put away her purse, replied flatly, put on her shoes and walked out.

There was a sense of bleakness in the yard after the bustle, she looked at the upper room, there seemed to be no one in it, she couldn't help asking: "Where are our parents?"

Daqiang was tearing up the chicken leg with all his strength, and after chewing a few bites, he replied vaguely: "They went out and said they would be back in a while, hum, don't sneak out again, mother told me to watch you!"

Xia Hua smiled wryly, and walked into the west room of the upper room. There were several meat dishes on the dining table, which were not seen in usual times, but looking at her younger brother who was guarding the door, she really had no appetite and counted slowly. Eat with rice grains.

"Daqiang, run an errand for me and go to the inn to buy two packs of melon seeds."

Song Hai's voice and his limping footsteps came from the kitchen, Xia Hua was slightly taken aback, didn't the doctor let him rest on the kang, why did he come here at this time?Thinking of his thoughts for her, she sighed helplessly, simply put down her chopsticks, and waited for him to come in and talk to her. It was already this time, and she didn't know what else he wanted to say.

"Our family has melon seeds, why do you want me to buy them?" Daqiang sat on the threshold and looked up at Song Hai suspiciously.

Song Hai said nonsense: "Your food doesn't taste salty, I want to eat salty food, hurry up, the rest of the money is yours!" He took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into Daqiang's hand.

Daqiang counted the copper coins in his hand, immediately smiled, and agreed happily: "Hey, I'll go right away, but brother-in-law, take care of my sister for me, don't let her go out, or my mother will scold me!"

"Understood, let's go!" Song Hai patted his head, watched him run away, and then leaned on the wall to move in. When he saw the figure sitting quietly on the kang, he suddenly felt that he had worked hard last night. Forbearance is not in vain, twisting his leg is nothing, at least now he can live in his aunt's house for half a month, and he can find a chance to meet her and stay with her.

"Why doesn't my aunt eat? Is it because the food doesn't suit your appetite?" He slowly moved to the edge of the kang, sat down opposite her, and described her appearance with greedy eyes.

Xia Hua still pretended not to understand the passion in his eyes, forced a smile and said: "I can't eat, by the way, are your feet better? Why don't you take a good rest in the room?" In her eyes, Song Hai Always the good uncle who loves her, takes care of her and lets her do everything. She likes to be with him, likes the feeling of being pampered by him, and likes to tell him what's on her mind, and then hear him use a voice similar to Xue Song's. She persuaded her softly, but that was all, she didn't have the slightest affection for him, what she liked was Xue Song, that stern man who made her nervous and sweet just thinking about it.

Song Hai looked straight at Xia Hua, looked at her swollen eyes, and lowered his voice unconsciously: "Auntie, are you crying again? Actually, if you really don't want to marry, I, I can take You left..." With such a rare opportunity to speak, he didn't want to mention his foot injury, he wanted to let her know his intentions and leave, there is still time to make plans.

Xia Hua lowered her eyes, squeezed her sleeves, shook her head and sighed: "Forget it, I have reached this point, where else can I go, even if I follow you to your house, I will still be found by my mother. Brother, thank you You are so kind to me, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little bit reluctant to be home..."

She knew Song Hai meant something else, but she wouldn't go with him, firstly, she didn't dare to bear the notoriety of elopement, and couldn't bear her parents being pointed at by others, secondly, he wasn't the one she wanted Man, if, if it was Xue Song who said this to him, she would probably agree, but she also knew that Xue Song would never abandon his two younger brothers because of her, so she understood why Xue Song didn't come to find him. She, why is she avoiding her, she just wants to see him again, and hear him say that he likes her once, then she will have no regrets in this life.

Song Hai clenched his fists bitterly, why is she so stupid, can't she see how much he likes her?He is going to take her away!

"Xia Hua, I'm not..."

Xia Hua frowned and raised her head, "Uncle, you called my name again!"

Song Hai was startled, staring blankly at the woman across from him.She had a pair of innocent and beautiful eyes. Most of the time when the two were together, the eyes that deeply attracted him were smiling. There were gentleness, naughtiness, grievances and tears in them, but rarely anger. But now, just because he called her name in a hurry, she got angry and stared at him angrily, as if he had robbed her, no, no, she was angry that he robbed Xue Song!In her heart, is it only Xue Song who deserves to call her that?

"Xia Hua Xia Hua Xia Hua! Why can't I call!" He stood up angrily, endured the pain in his ankle and walked in front of her, looked down at her panicked eyes, and asked through gritted teeth, "Are you crying because you still have tears in your heart?" Thinking about him? You would rather marry someone as a concubine than leave with me, is it because you would rather be remembered with regret for the rest of your life than he would hate you if he knew you ran away with the man next to you?"

Song Hai never yelled at her!
Facing the man's sudden anger, Xia Hua flinched in fright. She felt aggrieved, afraid and ashamed of being punctured, but she quickly calmed down. She knew how to deal with this man who had been eaten by her since childhood. Dead man.

She moved back a little in surprise, and looked up at him: "Uncle, what are you talking about? I was thinking of him, and I don't like you calling my name, but what does this have to do with my marriage? Do you think I am willing to be a concubine for an old man? My mother forced me! You keep saying that you want to take me to your house, but my parents are not fools, they will not guess where I am going? Uncle, I Now that they are watching and are not allowed to go out, don't you have to ask them to lock me in the house during the day to feel at ease?" Thinking of the locks left outside the door every night, tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, which were about to fall, Song Hai suddenly panicked, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears for her: "Sister, don't cry, I'm just feeling sad for a while, you're so good, I really don't like it." I can bear to see you marry that kind of person and be wronged!"

Xia Hua lowered her head and wiped her tears, avoiding his hand calmly, "What can you do if you can't bear it, this is my life, I admit it myself, it's just..." With a sudden thought in her heart, she suddenly Pulling on Song Hai's sleeve, his voice trembled because of that hope: "Brother, I have resigned myself to my fate, but I just want to see him again, please help me! Brother, only you can help me now, Please!" She knows Song Hai's ability, as long as he is willing, he will definitely help her avoid her parents and brothers!
What would it be like to be begged by a beloved woman to help her meet another man?
Song Hai was filled with jealousy and hatred, so he tried his best not to slap off the hands that were pulling his sleeves. He only looked up at the window and said coldly, "Since you have accepted your fate, why should you see him again?" His voice was full of irony.

Xia Hua was still about to speak when Daqiang shouted suddenly from the gate. She felt anxious and grabbed Song Hai's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Brother, good brother, look at the two of us For the sake of playing together when I was young, can you help me this time? I don’t need you to do anything else, as long as you unlock the lock for me at night, and then I will find him by myself! Uncle, please, I just go to Ask him a word, and I will never think about him again, uncle, uncle..."

Song Hai silently watched her cry like tears, and finally when Daqiang stepped into the kitchen, he snorted coldly, broke away from her hand, and walked away.He walked in a hurry, and his ankle hurt badly, but what was that pain?Her begging, the tears she shed for that man, all pierced his heart mercilessly like a knife!
"Uncle, your melon seeds!" Da Qiang, who had just entered the room, did not notice the man's livid face, and handed over two packs of melon seeds in a fawning manner.

"Crack!" Song Hai grabbed the melon seeds and smashed them on the ground, countless black melon seeds splashed all over the ground, creating a mess.

Daqiang was dumbfounded, he stared blankly at Song Hai who was going away, and didn't react for a long time.

Xia Hua heard the movement outside and knew that Song Hai was angry. The hope that had just been raised was completely shattered, and she lay on the kang and sobbed softly.

Xia Hua felt uncomfortable, but she never imagined that the person who caused her and Song Hai's unhappiness was also enduring torture that almost drove him crazy.

Xue Song originally thought that the moment when his second uncle forced him to marry his wife was the most uncomfortable moment of the day, but in the evening, he realized that it was actually nothing.

When the sun was setting, the second uncle and the others left, without his elders, he couldn't wait to go back to the house, she hadn't looked at him today, he wanted to see her.He kept his head down during lunch, because he was depressed and no one responded, so he didn't dare to look at her. Now he dared, and the main reason was that he couldn't help it.He wanted to search for the mark left on her heart last night in her gentle water eyes, and he wanted to know if there was any ripple in her eyes regarding his marriage.

He looked at Xue Shu, who was working hard beside him, and walked back. He only took a look, and then he didn't think about it anymore.

"Brother, why are you going?" Seeing that Xue Song was about to leave, Xue Shu also wanted to follow for a while.

Xue Song didn't turn his head back, "I'm going to drink water."

"Then I'll go drink water too!" Xue Shu bang threw away the shovel in his hand and ran away, passing his elder brother in a blink of an eye.

Xue Song paused, and then felt that it would be good if the second brother was present, so that it would not appear too abrupt for him to go back, so he continued to walk forward.

But when he entered the kitchen, he found that neither of them was there. He hesitated and walked to the back door. Before he could look at the backyard, Xue Shu's silly voice came from the west room: "Daughter-in-law, open your mouth, I'll feed you jujubes." !"

"What to eat? I've already eaten several today. Eat it yourself! Wait, wash your hands first, and wash this jujube too. There are dirt on your hands!" Hearing her answer, his voice was slightly Annoyed and a little helpless, but he knew that there must be a slight smile on the corner of her lips, which was laughed by the simple foolishness of the second brother.

"I won't eat, I'll keep it for you!" Xue Shu failed to please, but was reprimanded by his wife. He looked down at his hands and saw that they were indeed covered with dirt. He curled his lips, turned around and ran out again, ready to finish washing Then go in with your wife.

Ye Ya was afraid that he would not be willing to eat the dates after washing, so she put the wet dates back into the bag, so she put down her work and followed out.Unexpectedly, she just opened the curtain, and she caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing facing her out of the corner of her eye. Her heart skipped a beat, and she deliberately pretended not to see it, and went straight to the front yard.

The moment she came out, Xue Song was so nervous that he was sweating all over, and then seeing her hurrying to the front, he couldn't help clenching his fists, why didn't she look over, is it so difficult to take a look?

His eyes followed her uncontrollably until her figure disappeared through the door.

Xue Song couldn't help following up, but happened to see Ye Ya raise a hand and stuff a wet jujube into Xue Shu's mouth.The second brother was very greedy, but what he was greedy for was not jujube, but her hands, so he put her finger in his mouth playfully, not letting her leave.So, he could only look in shock at his second younger brother's bright eyes, at her slender and white fingers in his slightly thick lips, at her side face flushed with pink in an instant, charming and charming, and then Before she realized her peeping, she hurriedly backed away, her heart beating non-stop.

No wonder people always talk about the blessings of stupid people. Seeing his second brother "molesting" her, Xue Song had an idea by accident. It would be great if, if only he was stupid, so that he could do whatever he wanted up...

He sighed deeply, and was about to turn around and go to the backyard when the second brother came in with her.

She walked away without saying anything, as if something was wrong, but she couldn't find anything to say for a while, Xue Song coughed in embarrassment, glanced over the pot and then landed on her face, and blurted out flattering words: "Sister and sister, I'm going to kill you!" Chicken, will you stew it in a while?" As soon as he said this, he felt very uncomfortable and wanted to look away, but he was afraid of missing her gaze, so he had to stare at her nervously, and when she looked over later, he Just look at it, then turn around immediately after reading it.

Ye Ya didn't lift her head.She knew that those three silkies were specially bought for her to eat. If Xue Song had said this yesterday, she would have been so touched that she would have lost her mind again, but now, she knew that all his care for her was for her Body, in order for her to take care of it earlier and give Xue Shu a baby, so she accepted it with no shame, looked at the ground between the two and said: "Brother has been tired for a day, let A Shu do this kind of work, A Shu , you go pick a chicken and kill it."

"Yeah!" The daughter-in-law has her life, Xue Shu nodded eagerly, walked to Xue Song's side and turned around and asked, "Daughter-in-law, should we kill the big chicken or the little chicken?"

Ye Ya couldn't help but glared at him, "Of course it's a new big chicken!" The little chickens raised at home are only so big, really, I can't do without saying a few stupid things a day!

Xue Shu laughed, "There are many big chickens!" After speaking, he strode away.

Ye Ya shook her head, glanced at Xue Song's trouser legs, and hurried back to the West Room.Just heat up the steamed dumplings left over at noon for dinner. Xue Shu still has to work hard to kill the chicken, so it's better to go back to the house and stay for a while.She has made up her mind. Unless necessary, unless Xue Shu is present, she will try to avoid being alone with Xue Song or Xue Bai. She will not misunderstand them, and will not give them a chance to think too much.

The curtain fell, blocking someone's gaze.

Xue Song felt that he was going crazy!
He watched her talking and laughing with the second brother, he was standing next to the second brother, but she didn't glance at him, as soon as the second brother left, she left without hesitation, as if there was no one in the kitchen. He is the same person!
There was a fire raging in his chest, almost forcing him to tear open the door curtain, walk up to her, and force her to look at him.

But after all, he still had a sliver of rationality left, so he just stood silently watching for a while, allowing himself to calm down slowly.

Calm, he turned and scooped up water to drink.

The cool water poured down his throat, dispelling some of the irritability hidden in his body, Xue Song felt better, and then he realized a problem belatedly, she didn't treat him like this before, no matter how timid and shy she was Well, when he talked to her, she would give him a quick glance, but today, she was obviously avoiding him on purpose!
He frowned, why did she hide from him?

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Xue Bai entered the door, seeing his elder brother holding a gourd ladle to his mouth, but he didn't drink any water for a long time, just staring at the water tank in a daze, he couldn't help asking, he It was the first time I saw my eldest brother showing such a stupid look.

Xue Song came back to his senses quickly, put away his things after drinking the water, and asked him in a low voice: "Have you bought honey?" He went to the town last night, and the doctor said that jujube honey just happened to be gone, and it would be available today, so he told him The third brother bought some after school.

"I bought it." Xue Bai shook the small jar in his hand, and glanced at the Westinghouse door curtain, "Where is my second sister-in-law?"

Xue Song's heart moved, he pointed to Westinghouse and said: "It's staying in the room, you go and get it to her, let her put it away." His eyes were fixed on the door curtain.

Xue Bai nodded, walked straight to the door, and called out in a brisk voice: "Second sister-in-law, elder brother told me to buy honey." Even if elder brother wasn't watching from behind, he didn't dare to say that he bought it, she was so shy , what if you want to avoid him too much because of this?
Ye Ya heard them talking, she didn't know why, her heart was warm and a little uncomfortable, she bit her lips and kept silent for a while, lowered her head and opened the door curtain, looked at Xue Bai's clothes and stretched out her hand: "Please trouble third brother, give it to me. "

Xue Bai didn't expect her to look like this, there was no unexpected surprise, no blushing face, and no apprehensive look in his eyes, she didn't even look at him!After being dazed for a while, he passed over the jar of honey in a dumb manner, and wanted to explain a few ways to eat it, but she had already lowered the curtain and entered.

Is this still his polite little sister-in-law who would blush and say no to him even helping to light the fire?

Xue Bo turned around wonderingly, looked at Xue Song as if asking for help, and asked with his eyes: Second sister-in-law seems a little different today?

But Xue Song didn't look at him, he stared at the door curtain that slowly stopped swinging, as if he understood something.
