have eaten?

Xu Jiaoxing's slender brows immediately frowned.

It was just noon, where did he eat?

When she realized that Xu Dali wanted to save her food rations, she immediately became serious: "Brother, you not only want to eat it, but also eat this egg. You also know that today is my birthday. If you don't eat it with me, I really can't eat these things."

Aman nodded quickly: "Yes, uncle, try the meat stewed by Ah Niang, it's so delicious."

"Try it quickly." Xu Jiaoxing smiled and pushed his meat-filled bowl closer a little closer.

Xu Dali was still trying to shirk his face, but seeing Xu Jiaoxing's face was very bad, he silently picked up the chopsticks.

Xu Dali had already done the work all morning, but now he was still hungry. Now he was urging Xu Jiaoxing to take a sip of the broth. For a moment, he felt that the broth was very delicious and his stomach became more and more hungry. He drank a large bowl of broth in one breath.

Xu Jiaoxing smiled and served him another bowl, and specially served some more meat. Although Xu Dali wanted to drink it, he was afraid that he would eat all his sister's food, so he had to endure his hunger and shake his head and say he was not hungry.

Xu Jiaoxing was reluctant to believe what he said, and urged him to drink the chicken soup clean. He also stuffed an egg he had just peeled into his mouth.

"One of us is just right. Since we are going to celebrate my birthday, we naturally have to eat enough."

Xu Dali couldn't help but chew the egg in his mouth slowly.

The roasted chicken has crispy skin and tender inside. The stewed meat is soft and fragrant. It is full of oil when you bite. Aman's chopsticks shuttle between two dishes, making her mouth full of oil.

Xu Jiaoxing kept picking up food for Xu Dali. The three of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere of celebrating their birthdays was really coming out.

After the meal, Xu Jiaoxing took out the bag of money given by Xu Dali, and wanted to return the money to him, but Xu Dali reiterated: "Take it, this is the extra money, my mother doesn't know, let alone, my mother is not short of money. Even if I give it to her, she will lend it to Aunt San and Grandma."

Xu Jiaoxing frowned and subconsciously looked around Xu Dali: "Why is she useless? Brother, isn't it possible that she is not going to save money for you to see the girl?"

Xu Dali is almost twenty years old this year. In the village, no man of his age like Xu Dali can make any child like him?

"I'm not in a hurry." A red look appeared on Xu Dali's rough face, and his face was obviously embarrassed.

However, Xu Jiaoxing could see that he did not reject the look of girls. Since this is the case, the only possibility is that Xu Ma had never arranged it for him!

Suddenly, Xu Jiaoxing was furious and angry and couldn't get along: "It's okay for her to do this to me, but why can she be so irresponsible to you? We didn't have a father at first, and our family was not wealthy. If we want to get married, we should succeed soon. In a few years, you are old and have no money. You will take care of everything at home. Who would still want to marry you to live a bad life!"

Xu Dali has never seen Xu Jiaoxing behave like a slut, but this is the first time he has been so upset about him like now.

He felt sweet in his heart and scratched his head and said, "Dad is gone, as long as my sister and mother can live a good life, it will be done. It won't matter to me."

"That won't happen!" Xu Jiaoxing frowned, put away the silver bag, and said in a deep voice: "I know how to live my life myself, but you can't be as confused as before. I'll collect this money for you. When you marry your sister-in-law, I'll take it out for you."

After a pause, she continued, "You go back and tell your mother. If your mother really doesn't have that intention, don't hand over the money to her in the future. You can save it yourself. If you save it for two or three years, I don't believe that you can't marry a wife!"

Xu Dali was stunned. He originally thought that his sister was weak and could be bullied, and he was as unintentional as his mother, but why is this person different now?

Before, she only felt that her sister had lost weight. Now, after looking carefully, she realized that her sister seemed to be pretty and the acne on her face had long since dissipated. Now looking at such a face, he couldn't help but want to take a look.

His sister is indeed pretty, so when she was young, she was not like him. She was big and thick, black and strong.

Xu Jiaoxing was worried about Xu Dali's affairs, but she never thought that Xu Dali just looked straight at her, not knowing whether she could listen or not, and she suddenly turned black again.

"Brother, you won't take my words as a warning, right? If you don't worry about this now, would you want to be a bachelor?"

Xu Jiaoxing asked directly. Xu Dali almost choked his saliva. Seeing that it was getting late outside, it was now being celebrated with his sister's birthday. He hurriedly got up and said he would leave.

Xu Jiaoxing thought he wanted to avoid the problem and wanted to brainwash him well, but he heard that there was still work on the shop, so he gave up.

Before leaving, Xu Jiaoxing noticed that Xu Dali's shoes had already lost their shoes. Even though they were tied up with straps, they still fell off their shoes when they walked.

Xu Jiao Xing felt indescribable. Her brother was busy all day long and didn't even care about her, so he was thinking about her.

On the contrary, she had never done anything for him since she came here, and she didn't even know where he was working. It is completely unimaginable how indifferent the original owner was to her brother.

Xu Jiaoxing felt guilty, and secretly made up her mind to be kind to Brother A in the future. That honest man loved her and Aman from the bottom of his heart.

At night, Xu Jiaoxing cleaned up the house. As soon as he returned to the room, Aman held his round belly and looked up at Xu Jiaoxing.

"Mom, what is an old bachelor? He lives alone? Then when my uncle meets you, you can find one for yourself as a child. Aman doesn't want you to be an old bachelor."

"·······" Xu Jiaoxing was speechless and made up her mind again to send this guy to the private school early.

A few days later, the cotton seeds sprouted. Xu Jiaoxing looked at the little bit of green on the dark land, which was a joy from the bottom of her heart.

Cotton seeds have finally taken root!

She was worried that the cotton seeds would not grow, but now she seems to think too much. So in order to make the cotton seedlings grow vigorously, Xu Jiaoxing has become more and more diligent in watering them.

On that day, she dug a basket of bitter bamboo shoots from the mountain and sent them to Baiheju. No one could stop her anymore. She went to the accountant's place and mentioned that she was here to deliver bitter bamboo shoots. Someone in the kitchen immediately came to her weigh the scales and count the money.

Fresh bitter bamboo shoots are naturally weighed, and when they come out of the basket, they are about 30 pounds.

Xu Jiaoxing planned to supply Baiheju for a long time, so the price was not high. She only charged four cents per catty, and sold a total of 132 cents.

After coming out of the restaurant, Xu Jiaoxing first bought two pairs of shoes for Xu Dali. Because the original owner had no memory of Xu Dali's foot size in his mind, Xu Jiaoxing gestured on the shoes according to the memory and finally chose the largest size shoes. At the same time, he also agreed with the boss that if Xu Dali couldn't wear them, she would have to take them back and replace them.

After putting on the shoes, Xu Jiaoxing took Aman to find Xu Dali. She remembered that Xu Dali had mentioned to her about delivering rice to the rice and grain shop. She immediately went to the rice and grain shop to ask Xu Dali's name. As soon as she mentioned it, the shopkeeper of the rice and grain shop pointed directly to her in the lower reaches of the Leshui River and told her that Xu Dali was working in the last grocery store in the alley.

As Xu Jiaoxing passed by, he saw a woman of twenty-three or four sitting at the door of the grocery store. When the woman saw her, she turned back to the shop.

"It's the eldest aunt." Aman said softly in his ears. Xu Jiaoxing paused, and then he recognized that this person was her eldest aunt, Gu Caiyun, the younger sister of her short-lived man, with her father and mother!

In the original owner's memory, Gu Caiyun married to the edge of the county town early. His husband's surname was Tang and his name was Xiaocheng. He was a grocery store. His family's foundation was naturally much better than that of the Gu family. Therefore, every time Gu Caiyun returned to his parents' home, he must be very decent.

But the grocery store in front of me was the last one in the alley. Could it be that her brother was working in it?

Xu Jiaoxing was stunned, and for a moment, her mind was complicated.

"Sister!" At this moment, Xu Dali came out of the Tang family's grocery store and carried a bag of rice to deliver goods to others.

Xu Jiaoxing handed him the shoes in his hand and asked him to try it when he was free. He wanted to ask him why he worked here, but he heard him say, "Sister, why are you here? Just call me outside in the future."

Xu Dali didn't expect his sister to come. For a moment, he was surprised and happy, but for a moment, he nervously and worriedly pulled Xu Jiaoxing away.

Xu Jiaoxing held her eyebrows and was about to speak, but Xu Dali said anxiously: "Sister, since I learned that the Gu family drove you out, I wanted to leave, but I haven't gotten my wages yet. When I get my wages, I will definitely not go to work here."

He was nervous about her! Xu Jiaoxing let out a secret breath. She had a holiday with the Gu family, so she would not want her brother to work here, which would be a bit selfish.

Thinking of it, she shook her head quickly: "Brother, there is no need to do this. You are here to work. As long as they don't treat you badly for my reasons, there will be nothing wrong."

After saying that, she smiled and urged him to try his shoes.

Xu Dali was still feeling uncomfortable and felt ashamed of his sister. But when he noticed the shoes Xu Jiaoxing gave him, he immediately disagreed: "Sister, it's so good, what shoes should I buy for me? I have shoes to wear."

Xu Jiaoxing looked at the shoes on his feet lightly. Today, he was still wearing the shoes with a slapped bottom.

Xu Dali followed her gaze and was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say.

However, Aman, who was standing by, urging him to try his shoes. Xu Dali sighed and sat aside to try it.

So, the shoes are just the right size, and they are not loose or tight in their clothes.

"Sister, don't buy things for me in the future. I'll work hard and I won't be able to wear new ones for long." Xu Dali was happy. This was the first time his sister bought him shoes, but he still couldn't bear to think that it would cost money to buy new shoes.

Xu Jiaoxing could tell what he liked, and now he was satisfied. He smiled and said, "It's because it's a cumbersome thing that I have to wear shoes and walk steadily, right?"

Xu Dali scratched his head and wanted to say something to refute, but he couldn't say a word after a long time of boredom.

Xu Jiaoxing didn't delay him any more, and then he had a few words to pay attention to his health, so he took Aman to buy paper and pen.

Aman still likes paper and pen very much. He held the pen in his little hand and wrote one number after another on the palm of his hand, but he couldn't stop at all.

Xu Jiaoxing picked two of the most cost-effective brushes for him and put some paper on them. When he was about to go out, he saw a group of students wearing blue long gowns and scarves walking from outside.

Aman turned his round eyes and looked at them with both envy and angrily. Xu Jiaoxing saw it and felt relieved. Her son also missed school. This is the best way to do so. Interest is the best teacher. As long as he likes it, it will definitely be a good start in the future.

So, after coming out of the store, Xu Jiaoxing went straight to find a pawnshop. She had to see if the jade bi the man gave was enough to repair money.

The spring breeze is blowing, and the sun shines on the surface of the Leshui River, rippling waves reflecting the willows that have just been pulled, a scene of spring full of spring.

The pawnshop is located by the river. After passing the Leshui Bridge, you can see the big word "dang" at the pawnshop. For some reason, Xu Jiaoxing dislikes the pawnshop from the bottom of her heart. She only thinks that the people entering are either a spendthrift or forced to make a living.
