In a farmer's home, a huge fishing net was spread in the center of the yard, and the four corners of the fishing net were hung tightly on the railing, making the entire fishing net hang in mid-air. The hot sun poured down, baking the fishing net and turning the fishing net
The moisture originally contained in it evaporates into the air. There is no gorgeous decoration in the yard, only a low and old water tank, which gently ripples with the blowing of the breeze.
The two sheep were tied to one side of the yard, and the railings were surrounded, eating grass quietly.
In the yard is a relatively standard three-man courtyard, facing north and south. The main hall is located in the middle of the north and on both sides of the east and west. However, the furnishings in the main hall are a little simple, and the furniture and utensils in it are also slightly old. The entire one is full of furniture and utensils.
There are no valuable items in the hall.
In the living room, an old man sat on the main seat in the center, with a man and a woman standing beside him. In the center of the living room is a woman. This woman is holding a baby and standing on the left side of the woman.
When he looked closely, he found that this person was Xiao Chang'an, and the woman holding the baby was Liu.
The old man above the main position looked solemn, his face was full of solemnity. Looking closely, there was a faint trace of anger coming from his pupils. The air in the living room was dull, and no one made a sound. The scene was a bit horrifying.
.
After a long time, Liu said, "Father, this is the baby we picked up by the river. He floated over from the river. When we saw him pitiful, we wanted to adopt him."
Hearing Liu's words, the old man raised his eyebrows, then looked at Xiao Chang'an with a scrutiny look on his face.
Xiao Changan was a little uncomfortable being stared at by his father, but his words had already been said before, and scholars naturally attached great importance to their reputation. After saying that they would adopt him, even if they were reluctant, they still nodded at Mr. Xiao.
Seeing his youngest son nodding, anger appeared in the eyes of Mr. Xiao, then sat down and said sternly, "I don't agree with your decision!"
Mr. Xiao's voice was full of majesty, and Ye was filled with the authority of the head of the family in an undeniable tone. He stared at the two of them with his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu in the hall heard Mr. Xiao’s words, his face changed drastically. He didn’t expect that the old man’s attitude was so firm. In the Xiao family, Mr. Xiao’s words were the most majestic. As long as he said no, no one in his family would dare to refute it.
Even though Liu had been prepared for a long time, he couldn't help but feel panicked.
Xiao Chu, who was lying in Liu's arms, seemed to feel the depressing atmosphere in the hall. When he saw Mr. Xiao with a stern face, he couldn't help but sigh, "Why am I so unlucky? I'm not talking about traveling through time and becoming a baby, but a good day
Even though I haven't even lived, I actually met such a tragic old man. Oh my God! Will you let people live?"
This time travel is a little too difficult, right?
Xiao Chu was helpless. At this time, he was a baby and his destiny could only be controlled by others. This feeling was really bad!
Then Xiao Chu sighed again, sighing that his fate was ill-fated.
Liu seemed to feel the change in the heartbeat of the baby in his arms, then hugged the baby in his arms, patted Xiao Chu's back, and signaled Xiao Chu not to be afraid.
After a moment, Liu knelt down directly at Mr. Xiao, and then said, "Father, this child has no relatives. It is fate that our family can find him. Just show your compassion and let me adopt him!"
Mr. Xiao seemed to have not seen Liu's movements, and the cold and fierce look in his eyes did not change at all. Then he closed his eyes tightly and shook his head at Xiao Chang'an and Liu's two, saying, "You should just put it."
Send him away, go back wherever he comes, don't leave him in my Xiao family."
As she finished speaking, Liu's face changed drastically, and a pale color appeared. She had always known her father-in-law's character and said the same thing, but she had decided to adopt him, so how could she send him back?
Mr. Xiao sat on the main seat and his eyes were still closed. He was not a man with a heart, but the current situation of the Xiao family could not support them in adding a population. There were three in their family.
The eldest son makes a living by fishing, the second son unfortunately passed away during a fishing process, and the third son took the career path again, but after a few years of the exam, he was still a literary boy. Occasionally, the three daughters-in-law did it for others.
Doing needlework to supplement the family income, I am old and can’t fish in the river at all. The family’s source of living depends entirely on their eldest son, and they are already very poor. If they add another person, they will obviously not be able to support them.
of.
Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to understand what Mr. Xiao said, but Mr. Xiao's decision was reasonable. His own conditions obviously could no longer bear the burden of a single person. Could it be that his fate with this little guy ended today.
Is it?
Thinking of this, Liu's eyes turned red and tears couldn't help but fall down, hugging the baby in his arms tightly, for fear that he would fall to the ground.
Xiao Changan, who was standing aside, couldn't help feeling a little sad when he saw his wife's behavior. When he saw her holding the baby, he looked sad and moved. He immediately spoke to Mr. Xiao, "Dad, can't you really be able to do it.
Can't adopt this baby?"
At this time, Xiao Changan had never thought about saving the baby, but when he saw his wife's painful face, he felt pity, and he stammered at Old Master Xiao.
Just after Xiao Chang'an finished speaking, before Mr. Xiao could speak, the eldest sister-in-law Wang, who was standing beside him, said, "Third brother, you are a noble scholar, but you don't know the family's difficulties. Now you only rely on our parents' blessings to make money to support your family.
The pressure is so great. Besides, fishing in Xiahe is so dangerous. The money you earn is enough for your family to use, so where can you have spare money to raise someone else’s son?”
Wang's words were extremely mean, and he also spoke the word "others" more seriously, deliberately letting the two of them hear it to express their position.
Xiao Changfu, who was standing by, said nothing, and looked at his third brother and his third sister-in-law calmly. As the only source of income of the Xiao family, he was not very willing to get involved in the family affairs. Generally speaking, it is done by
Just make the decision.
Xiao Chu, who was lying in Liu's arms, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth after hearing Wang's words, full of contempt, but when he saw Wang's sarcastic and mean look, he couldn't help but sigh again.
Alas, my luck doesn't seem to be very good!
It seems that there is no hope for me to stay in this home, and I hope I won’t be thrown back into the river.
However, just after Wang finished speaking, Liu, who was standing beside him, began to get excited. At this time, her clothes were already wet with tears and her eyes were red. Then she straightened her body, and then she slammed her head and knocked her head heavily.
On the ground.
"Father, this child is pitiful. I hope you will be kind and let me take him in!"
Mr. Xiao seemed to have not seen Liu's actions, his eyes closed slightly, and he didn't even move, and his attitude was very obvious.
Liu ignored Mr. Xiao's actions and knocked heavily at the bottom plate again. Everyone in the living room could clearly hear the sound of hitting the bottom plate.
"Father, please let me take him in. I will give him my food and make sure I won't use other food in my house."
After the words came, Liu's head hit the ground again.
Three loud heads fell down, and you could already see that Liu's forehead was red and swollen, but there was no intention of stopping. Then another loud head hit the ground again, and another crisp sound of the bottom plate hitting it.
Xiao Chu was a little moved. They met by chance, and Liu also saved his life. Now, in order to adopt him, Liu has achieved this step again. How should I repay this kindness!
At this moment, Xiao Chu's black eyes were a little wet. It can be said that he was unfortunate, but also lucky because she met Liu.
