Cross-country exchange

Engagement is a very simple ceremony in Hexi Village.Chen Jinsuo brought his grandma and younger brother to the door with generous gifts, and everyone had a simple meal together, which was equivalent to establishing a relationship.After the meal, the parents of the two parties discussed the wedding day of their son and elder brother, including the dowry and other matters.

Xia Chun and Chen Jinsuo, as the parties involved, had to listen obediently.

What made the Xia family extremely happy was not only because today was Xia Chun's engagement day, but also that brother Xia Bing, who hadn't seen him for a long time, also returned home. Several unmarried brothers of the Xia family surrounded him, afraid of talking. The noise affected Grandma Xia and the others, and they consciously invited Xia Bing and Xie Yong to sit in their hut.

One sentence from you, one sentence from me, Xia Bing didn't even have time to reply to their words, soon, the room was filled with everyone's laughter.

Xia Yu stood aside, watching his brothers discuss this topic for a while, then turned around to discuss another new topic, but he didn't even have a chance to intervene, standing at the door with his arms folded and shaking his head helplessly.

As for Xie Yun, Xia Bing's big brother took his hand and actually touched Xia Bing's stomach before the meal. After touching him, he just squatted aside and giggled, not even saying hello to his own brother.

It wasn't until Grandma Xia finished discussing the marriage that the harmonious atmosphere in the room was broken.

Aunt Xia dismissed the buddies who surrounded Xia Bing one by one, and talked to Xia Bing alone.

Seeing that his second elder brother was going to accompany the three of the Chen family, Xia Yu took Xie Yun back to his room alone.

Xie Yun was still dizzy, and after being brought home by Xia Yu, he sat on the bed, smiling foolishly by himself, his consciousness still focused on the feeling that the child in Xia Bing's belly had kicked him, it was amazing.

Xia Yu didn't know what Xie Yun was thinking at all. He felt that Xie Yun like this was a little silly and cute. He couldn't help squatting down, pinched his face, and said with a smile, "I am so happy to see the big brother come back? Do you really like the big brother?" , it’s better to keep big brother and the others at our house for a few more days.”

"Really?" Xie Yun's eyes were shining brightly, but he was thinking in his heart if he could touch the baby in Brother Xia Bing's stomach again.

"Well, don't be in a daze, go and help the third brother clean up the stove, wash the dishes and so on, and leave it to me."

Xia Yu promised that at night, Xia Bing and Xie Yong really stayed at home.

The brothers of the Xia family are scrambling to sleep with Xia Bing. Aunt Xia, considering that Xia Bing has been pregnant for more than seven months, and the baby will come out in more than a month, let her group of carefree friends sleep with Xia Bing. Some are not at ease.In addition, he himself was a little selfish, so he arranged for himself to sleep with Xia Bing, Xie Yun to live with his elder brothers, and Xia Yu to share a room with Xia's father and Xie Yong.

Even so, relying on his status as the second elder brother, Xia Chun forced himself to share the same bed with Grandma Xia.

Xie Yun's little abacus made a lot of noises, but Aunt Xia disturbed him, and there was nothing left, so he obediently fell asleep with his brothers.

The next day, when Xie Yun woke up, Fourth Brother Xia Dong got up early to feed the chicks.Xia Dong sprinkled some chicken food casually, and a dozen chicks gathered around Xia Dong, pecking at them.Seeing this scene, Xie Yun found it very novel, so he went to help the leader.

"Fourth brother, these chicks seem to have grown up a bit."

Xia Dong squinted at the chickens around Xie Yun, "Well, as he grows up, he eats more." In the past, he only needed a handful of chicken food, but now he needs more.

But seeing these chickens are alive and kicking, he felt a little relieved that the situation that Grandma said before did not happen.

"Hahaha, it's so fun. Little yellow chicken, come to my side to eat." Xie Yun ran around carrying food, and wherever the food went, a group of chickens followed.

When Xia Bing walked out of the gate with his waist supported, he saw Xie Yun followed by a group of yellow and tender chicks, so he asked Xia Dong out of curiosity.

Xia Dong built two nests for this group of chicks and two little pigs before. Yesterday was a particularly festive day, and a guest came to the door. Xia Dong thought that he might not be able to take care of these little things when he was busy, and These chicks are very active and run around.So the group of chicks were driven back to the nest.Yes, Xia Bing didn't notice either.

No, Xia Dong explained it to Xia Bing, and helped Xia Bing to see the two little piglets in the other litter.

"These two piglets are also very easy to raise. Give us some leftovers every day, and occasionally add some pig food, and they have grown from so small to this in a month." Xia Dong was very proud when he said that the daily food of these poultry It is through his hands that it is the last word to raise them stronger.

After hearing this, Xia Bing asked some questions separately.The price of a piglet, pig food and matters needing attention, etc.

Xia Dong also patiently explained, until Xie Yun chased a group of chicks running around the whole house, he finally went to clean up the mess, drove the group of chickens back to his nest, and cleaned up the chickens that had just been thrown on the ground. of chicken food.

After the meal, Xia Bing took the opportunity to pull Xia Yu aside who was doing nothing, and said, "Little brother, big brother, please do me a favor."

In the case of Xie's family, Xia Bing actually reported the good news but not the bad news, in order to reassure the grandparents in her family.In fact, only Xia Yu knew the real situation.

When he was sleeping with Xia's grandmas yesterday, he mentioned it a little bit, and found that the grandmas didn't know about Xie Yong's offending people in the county, so he didn't say much after that.

Xie Yong is a dull person, he doesn't talk much, and usually he answers a few questions when others ask him.Aunt Xia was not as far-sighted as Aunt Xia, so naturally he would not ask Xie Yong for no reason, so he stayed for one night without asking any questions.

"Well, brother, tell me."

Seeing that Xia Dong took good care of these poultry, Xia Bing also had the idea of ​​raising some poultry to make money, especially in the current situation of the Xie family. Xie Yong, who is the main force, has nothing to do at home. Makes people a little anxious.So, he told Xia Yu about his plan.

Xia Yu naturally agrees very much. The reason why he didn't share this matter with Xia Bing immediately was not because he wanted to hide it selfishly, but because he wanted to wait until the results of the experiment came out, and if it was really profitable, he would notify his elder brother and they would also Not urgent.Unexpectedly, the eldest brother's head turned very quickly.

However, Xia Yu still expressed some of his concerns.

Xia Bing felt that the situation like what Grandma Xia said before was rare, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing that his younger brother agreed very much, Xia Bing himself had a big belly, and it was really inconvenient to go to the county to buy poultry, so he took out an ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to Xia Yu, "You still need to rest assured, little brother, Eldest brother brought so much today, younger brother, you take it first, when the money is not enough, I will ask your brother-in-law to send it to you."

"Brother, are you dating my younger brother? If you do this again, I will be angry." Xia Yu always remembered what Xia Bing had done for him, and in his heart he hoped that his elder brother could live a happy life, but his brother-in-law did not Compete.

He can only do his best to help his eldest brother live a good life.

Xia Bing saw that Xia Yu's face was not good-looking, and he didn't know where to put the outstretched hand.

"You give me the money back, how dare I ask you to help my brother in the future." Xia Bing sighed.

In the end, Xia Yu couldn't resist Xia Bing's wishes, so he still accepted the money.But what he wanted in his heart was to buy two more piglets for his elder brother.

Xia Bing also stayed at Xia's house for one night, and left with Xie Yong that afternoon.Before leaving, I didn't forget to remind Xia Yu to help purchase poultry in the county.

The matter of the Chen family has come to an end for the time being, and the restaurant of the Xia family in the county will continue to operate.After Xia Bing left, the next day, Aunt Xia packed up her things and returned to the restaurant with her brothers.

There are many versions about the Xia family in Hexi Village.

Some people said that the Xia family probably picked up a treasure from somewhere, and then sold the treasure, thus making a fortune.The local restaurants in the county are the only proof.

Some people also said that the Xia family must have enshrined the fox fairy, and the fox fairy blessed the family to live a good life from then on.This good day seems to have started when their baby got married.Xia Bing got married, Xia Yu got married, and brought back a living baby.After that, Xia Chun's marriage also came to an end, which was simply a happy event.

Of course, some people said that Feng Shui took turns. It was the Cao family before, and now it was the Xia family's turn. I guess it would be someone else's turn soon.

Rumors spread everywhere, and people in the village turned red with envy and jealousy.At the beginning, the Xia family was the poorest family in Hexi Village, with a lot of children.Now, everyone seems to be doing fine.

Malicious slander also happens from time to time.

Xia Dong only cared about the poultry and the work in the field, and never cared about other people's business except for dealing with a few close friends.Not to mention Xia Lei, a sharp mouth can kill people without using a single dirty word, so why bother him to devote himself to his tailoring skills, not going out of the door, not going out of the door, what kind of gossip has nothing to do with him.Not to mention Aunt Xia, with a pot of good wine, he will be drunk to death.His own boy strives to lead his family to live a good life, at least much better than before, he is quite content.

It has to be said that Xia Yu was right to keep the three of them in the village.If Brother Xia Chun was left behind, no one in the village would be safe.With Xia Chun's fiery temper, whoever dares to say anything about the Xia family in front of him will probably call him a long time ago.

Day by day, at this moment, something happened almost simultaneously in the Xia family in the village and the restaurant in the county town.
