I want to break every day
Chapter 31 A Family Tree
Xia Liang has a family tree in his hand, the pages are made of soft raw paper, with the names of the Xia family clearly printed on it.Xia Ruoruo held the ink ingots in both hands, and stood beside the desk to grind the ink in a moderate manner.
When grinding ink, it is taboo to be inattentive, too hard or too light, it will lead to uneven thickness of the ground ink, and it is easy to condense slowly when you lift the pen and drop the characters.If you are too impatient and the speed is too fast, there will be a lot of ink, but it will be rough and prone to foam, and the written characters will not have a luster;Seeing Xia Ruoruo's gentle and moderate approach, Xia Liang nodded in satisfaction.
Lifting the brush, soaking the nib in the ink, and flicking it lightly, a black line appeared under Xia Ruoruo's name.
It is said that a man should be pretty in soap, and a woman should be pretty in filial piety. Now Xia Ruoruo, who is dressed in white and plain clothes, stands there, just like a fairy who has walked out of a painting, not eating fireworks.Unlike the mother's filial piety, as a granddaughter, her filial piety is made of natural sackcloth.The filial piety clothes worn by Li Shuyue are made of the thickest raw sackcloth, and the broken parts are exposed at the edges of the clothes to show that the filial piety clothes have not been modified. It is the heaviest kind of filial piety clothes.
The filial attire on Xia Ruoruo's body was named Qi Gu, and it belonged to the second type of filial attire, which was worn by grandsons and granddaughters for their grandmothers.The hair had been tied in a bunch at the back of the head, and a white ribbon was tied around the head and tied in a knot at the back of the head, and the rest hung down the back.On her right shoulder is a small piece of red cloth that has been trimmed into the pattern of a bat.The edge of the clothes is trimmed, unlike the filial piety clothes on Li Shuyue and the others, the edges are rough.
"This family tree will be kept with me for the time being. When I am old, I will hand it over to you." Xia Liang put down the brush, and just standing for a short while already made him feel dizzy.Feeling a pair of small hands firmly supporting his arm, Xia Liang chuckled, raised her hand and patted Xia Ruoruo's head, and straightened the crooked belt for her: "Don't worry about my body, my old bones are still fine .”
Xia Ruoruo didn't say a word, but held him tightly, with a worried expression on his face.
Xia Liang coughed, put away the family tree again, and led Xia Ruoruo out of the study.
The cousin's filial piety is the same as Xia Ruoruo's, the only difference is that he wears a hat with a red brocade ball nailed on it.And the red bat pattern was nailed to his left shoulder.At this time, he was kneeling in front of grandma's tablet, earnestly burning paper in the crock pot.Xia Ruoruo walked up to him lightly, knelt down and lit three sticks of incense, inserted them firmly into the incense burner, and said softly, "Brother, go to rest, I'm watching over here."
Xia Tian shook his head, even though his eyes were bloodshot, he still refused to get up to rest. "At any rate, let me take another look at grandma. You have always been weak and the ground is cold. Go and rest. Grandma has always loved you. If you collapse, grandma's spirit in heaven will not be at peace."
Handing over a futon, Xia Ruoruo also took a futon: "I heard that your company is going to lay off employees?"
When mentioning work, Xia Tian's brows showed a little more irritability: "You don't have to worry, your brother and I are very capable."
"Come over to my house if you have time, my father misses you very much." Xia Ruoruo picked up a few sheets of fire paper, folded them up and put them in the earthen pot, the flames that flew into the air quickly swallowed these papers, and the flying soot was scattered all over the place. There was a Xuan'er in the air, and then slowly fell into the earthen basin.
Knowing that his sister had good intentions, Xia Tian covered his face with burning paper in shame: "It's all my brother's useless." She also asked her to find a way for herself.
"Where, didn't my brother get beaten by others to protect me when I was young? At that time, my brother was the hero in my heart."
The soft-spoken conversation between the brothers and sisters fell into the ears of others, only to hear the aunt's anger.Walking into the courtyard and looking at those brats, he went up angrily and slapped his lips: "Go over there and kneel down! You are not allowed to run out and act wildly! Even if you pretend, let me pretend!"
"Wow!" Xia Lei, who was only seven years old, sniffled. He really didn't understand why his mother, who had always loved him, suddenly became so angry.
Si Niang, who was leaning on the pillar next to her, sneered, "Children of second marriages just don't live up to expectations."
"What are you talking about?!" The aunt was not happy, she hated hearing people say that she married a divorced person.If it wasn't for the boss of the Xia family relying on her for everything, even the girl from his ex-wife came to her door and beat her out, she would have gone back to her mother's house with her son in her arms!It's just that although she now occupies the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xia family, in the eyes of outsiders, she is not even as good as that of the third eldest family.Now that even members of the fourth family dare to laugh at her, how could she not be angry.
"Heh, it's winter that can make a little girl stand hungry for a day, and only you, a stepmother, can do it." Regardless of the aunt's flushed face, Si Niang started to sneer after saying this.She doesn't like that old lady, even if the old lady is partial to her family, she doesn't like it. Now that the old lady is gone, she is too late to be happy, so how can she kneel and cry?If you want to cry, you have to wait for the funeral to cry.
Who would cry himself out like that idiot Li Shuyue?
Seeing Si Niang, who was tall and burly, the fat aunt's face trembled a few times, but she didn't dare to make a move after all.
The mourners came back, and the trumpeter was also invited. The kitchen was in a mess, and there was nothing to be done.The second child is not doing his job properly, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and the family doesn't even have a complete set of household items.While wiping tears, the two aunts bought all the things.Second Xia rubbed his hands together: "Sister, thank you for your hard work."
The eldest sister of the Xia family was dressed in filial piety, and her face was haggard: "Tell me how you live, home is not like home... Sigh!"
Second Xia rubbed his face in embarrassment, my sister didn't even want to talk about him anymore.
For dinner, each person got a bowl of plain noodles, and Xia Ruoruo brought the rice to Li Shuyue, "Mom, why don't you eat a few bites."
Li Shuyue propped herself up and sat up from the bed, took a taste of the bowl and chopsticks, and couldn't help frowning: "Your second mother's craftsmanship is still so unpalatable."
"It's unpalatable, you have to eat more. Dad and the others are back. I guess uncle and grandpa will come tomorrow, right?" Xia Ruoruo swallowed the noodles in her mouth. The clear soup had little water and no salt. It makes people want to eat it after the first bite.But she still had to bite the bullet and finish eating, after all, she still had to continue the vigil tonight.
Li Shuyue put down her chopsticks: "By the way, did You Zuixue go back? I didn't see her today."
Xia Ruoruo packed up the dishes: "Axue's company has something to do, so I'll come over tomorrow to mourn grandma."
"That's a good boy."
Xia Ruoruo nodded: "Axue is naturally very kind to me."
Touch the bracelet in my pocket, and I will be nice to her too.
