Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 13 Laba
Only then did Wang covered her lips and smiled, "They are all daughters of the Du family, isn't your complimenting her the Du family?!"

It was Mrs. Du who interrupted the conversation with a smile, "Why are you all so polite!"

Seeing the happy and harmonious appearance of several people, Xiao Huaisu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Brothers and friends are respectful, sisters are filial, if the future life is really like this, then her life will be much smoother.

The afternoon sun shone warmly on one's body, and it was not as hot as the scorching sun in summer. It was as gentle as a spring breeze, gently caressing the face.

Xiao Huaisu couldn't help squinting slightly, enjoying it comfortably.

Mrs. Wang came and sat down, so Du Boyan couldn't stay here for a long time. Although the two were uncles and sisters-in-law, it was taboo to think about it. He just sat for a while and then left the yard with an excuse.

Xiao Huaisu was eating the fruit at the side, and he didn't find the conversation of the adults boring. He seemed to be careless, but he listened to every sentence.

Mrs. Du asked Mrs. Wang's companions who followed Du Boshu to Xiao's mansion, "Let's see who is willing to follow us. If they want to stay, then it's up to them. They don't care about their master." If you take it back, you might be a white-eyed wolf!"

This is to vent anger for Du Boshu's death. If there is a caring person among these people who knows how to send a message to the Du family so that they are prepared, maybe the matter will not evolve to this point.

Mrs. Du's face darkened, and she was not without regrets. If she didn't even have an old nanny by her side, she would have sent such a person by her daughter's side. Someone could remind Du Boshu at any time, It wouldn't be like it is now.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Du, sighed in her heart, thought for a while, and said, "There is no change in the personnel affairs of Bo Shu's dowry village. I think the hands of the Xiao family haven't stretched so far...but there are a few rooms in the mansion. People want to go back with us, there are four members of the Xiao family who are doing chores in the outer courtyard, and the Wu family are doing work in the laundry room and firewood room... As for the two common rooms," Mrs. Wang snorted softly at this point With a sound of disdain on his face, "Now that I'm expecting to eat and drink with Mr. Xiao San, naturally I don't like our family."

Mrs. Du thought about it, and thought of the two maids who were sent to the village, "What about the other two who committed crimes? Can we still find someone?"

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, and muttered: "I also sent someone to inquire about this matter, but the Zhuangzi sent by the two maids is too far away, and the person sent has not yet replied..." After a pause, he continued: "It's just that I also sniffed out Mrs. Xiao's words, saying that I was matched with someone when I came to the Zhuangzi. I'm afraid that even if we want it now, it's not easy to take the person away."

Seeing Mrs. Du's pensive expression, Xiao Huaisu turned his head sideways, his eyes were bright and bright, the pupils were dark in color, it was obvious that he was thinking about something, but Mrs. Wang was listening to her mother-in-law seriously but didn't noticed.

In fact, not only Mrs. Du's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law understand this truth, but even Xiao Huaisu understands it. In this era, a married woman is a member of her husband's family. If the Du family wants to take it away, it is unreasonable. All reasoning is inappropriate.

Besides, what if the Xiao family lied?
Whether the maid who was sent to the village is really there now is unclear.

Presumably, Mrs. Du also thought of this possibility, she frowned, and said coldly after a while: "If it's really what we think, then we found it, and I'm afraid the person is gone!"

Xiao Huaisu was startled, and the expression on his face froze instantly.

The "absence" in her heart and the "absence" in Mrs. Du's mouth have two meanings. She only felt a slight chill on her fingertips, and she couldn't help shaking slightly.

Wang's eyes turned, seeing Xiao Huaisu hurriedly got up and leaned over, took her into his arms, looked at Mrs. Du again, and said hesitantly: "Mother-in-law, this child is a big kid, we are afraid of her if we say anything." ...She also understood a little bit." Although there was some relief in the words, there was also a trace of worry.

It is a good thing for a child to mature prematurely, but Huiji will hurt. They also hope that the child will grow up healthy and healthy!

Mrs. Du's gaze also focused on her. She pursed her lips tightly, and her face became more serious, "Huai Su, do you really understand?"

Xiao Huaisu lowered his gaze, rolled his eyeballs, felt somewhat guilty, his little hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, but under Mrs. Du's threatening gaze, he had to raise his head, biting his lip Said: "Grandmother said that they may not be here anymore... Are they just like my mother?" When she spoke, a mist rose in her eyes, and Wang could not help but pat her lightly with pity, and there was a smile on her face. I can't bear it.

"Yes."

Mrs. Du nodded heavily, and was about to ask another question, but seeing Xiao Huaisu's dazed expression again, she couldn't help laughing.

That's right, no matter how sensible Xiao Huaisu is, he is only a child over three years old. Even if he knows what it means for these people to be gone, he still doesn't understand the reason. If she guides her carefully, she will definitely not let this little granddaughter suffer from other people's losses in the future.

Mrs. Wang wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Du shook her head slightly, "Don't say these things in front of the child, she will understand in the future."

Mrs. Wang sighed, and stopped entangled with this issue, hugged Xiao Huaisu in her arms, and talked about other things.

Only then did Xiao Huaisu heave a sigh of relief, only to feel that his palms were already wet, and he had to wipe them off in his sleeves, and then he carefully and discreetly exposed his little hands.

It is not difficult to be a child, but it is somewhat difficult to be a child who hides her adult heart. She still needs a process of adapting and changing slowly. Her current relatives are all human beings, and they accidentally revealed their secrets. , I am afraid that my origin will be suspected by others.

Xiao Huaisu took a deep breath, and slowly suppressed the thundering heartbeat in his chest bit by bit.

The two of them said that tomorrow is the Laba Festival, Wang smiled and pinched Xiao Huaisu's face, "If we don't want Huaisu to have a Laba on the way to drive, we can leave today."

Xiao Huaisu's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Auntie, can we have Laba porridge tomorrow?" There was already a trace of longing and anticipation on his small face.

Mrs. Du smiled and said: "Tomorrow, let the kitchen cook thick Laba porridge. If you want it softer, add some red dates, lotus seeds, and almonds. Longan, ginkgo, and water chestnut are all omitted. The child's teeth are not so sharp. Those things may not be chewed well, you should eat less!" Mrs. Du said, she caressed Xiao Huaisu's shoulder lovingly, then turned her head and said to Mrs. Wang: "It's just that we are not in Bianjing, so we can I can’t go home to worship my ancestors, so tomorrow you will accompany me to offer incense in a nearby temple, and that’s a wish.”
