Chapter 149: Eat melon
Except for the production team who arranged for the strong laborers to go out to shovel the snow, the rest of the people stayed at home, or visited other people's houses to sit on the kang and chat.
Xia Chan and the others are studying at home while enjoying life, with hot tea, melon seeds, snacks, pastries... every day. Xia Chan even occasionally makes a cup of bitter coffee for her brothers, seeing that they are not used to it. The bitter taste of the coffee made Xia Chan frown in pain, and Xia Chan couldn't help laughing.
In fact, this coffee is very cheap. It only costs a few yuan a pack. It contains dozens of strips and can be used to brew dozens of cups. It’s not the kind of good freshly ground coffee that’s not that bitter. Maybe it’s because my brothers’ tolerance for it is too low. Bar!
Of course, the brothers didn't know that it was coffee. Xia Chan told them that it was a medicine to prevent colds, which was almost as effective as isatis root, so she coaxed them to taste it.
I won’t bother them anymore.
On this day, the five brothers and sisters shared the canned yellow peach given by Liu Li. Xia Chan washed the canned bottle with hot water, then turned it upside down by the kang to dry the water inside. In the future, the bottle can be used Used.
The brothers went out to look at the snow on the roof. When they saw snow piled up on the roof again, they started to clear the snow one by one.
Hearing the knock on the door, Xia Bin walked over to open the door. When he saw it was Qin Hongmei, Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yang, he let them in directly.
When Xia Chan saw Qin Hongmei, she was also very surprised, "Aunt Qin, why did you come up here? The road up the mountain is so slippery..."
Qin Hongmei smiled and said, "We are walking slowly, it's okay, and aren't there trees on the side? We just hold on to the trees when we slip."
Xia Chan quickly made three bowls of malted milk, and then took some snacks and put them on plates and put them on the Kang table for them to eat.
Life has been a little better this year. Both Jiang Yue and Jiang Yang have grown a lot. They are not as thin and small as when Xia Chan first woke up. They are wearing unpatched clothes. They must be rushing. Yuan Bingbing and the others changed it and then changed it to a smaller one.
"Xiao Chan, I came to see you today. Actually, I have something I want to tell you." Qin Hongmei's expression suddenly became serious. Xia Chan did not dare to take it lightly, but looked at her nervously, "Those things in your old house People are too lazy to plow the snow when it snows heavily, and then your grandparents’ roof was crushed by the snow, and both of them were injured.”
"Aunt Qin, ever since our family left home and lived in a cave, we have no grandparents." Xia Chan's face also darkened. Why didn't she smash these two old immortals to death?
How could her parents, such good people, be forced to do what they did?
They gave up the best and most filial children and kept the bad ones around, not knowing whether they would regret it.
Qin Hongmei held Xia Chan's hand, patted the back of Xia Chan's hand, and then said, "Don't worry, people from the old house will not dare to disturb you."
Xia Chan nodded. Of course she knew. Not to mention that Director Qi and the others went to the old house to scare them. Now, she is the only tractor driver in the production team. She has no apprentice yet, and the captain will not let them come up to disturb them. They are brother and sister.
What's more, Xia Chan's parents had severed all ties with the old house back then, and it wasn't just a simple separation of families.
In other words, they have long been two families with no relationship.
Moreover, there are so many children and grandchildren in the old house, and it is not Xia Chan's turn to do anything. They don't dare to come over and make trouble for Xia Chan and the others just because they feel sorry for their children and grandchildren. Xia Chan will never show mercy to them.
"And your second uncle is now very close to Widow Wang from the production team. He probably wants to divorce and be with Widow Wang, but Xia Baozhu's mother will definitely not agree." Qin Hongmei said. The reason Xia Chan didn't let them send Xia Baozhu's mother to the farm for rehabilitation was because she didn't want her second uncle to find another stepmother for Xia Qi. After all, with one more stepmother, Xia Qi would be in more danger.
Xia Chan knew this Widow Wang and lived in the second to last row of the village. Xia Chan couldn't remember which household specifically. This Widow Wang had three children, two daughters and a son. The son was the second eldest, and he was in the middle. of.
Sons get married, daughters get married.
It can be said that Widow Wang's life is very good now, but if she is really together with her second uncle, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not regard Xia Qi as a thorn in her flesh. After all, Xia Qi is the second uncle's only son.
When the second uncle gets old, he might be like those hateful old men in the 21st century, pestering Xia Qi to be filial to him, and then Widow Wang wants to get rid of Xia Qi for the real estate.
"Aunt Qin, I understand." Xia Chan nodded thoughtfully. She couldn't let Xia Qi have the slightest crisis. Even if it affected Widow Wang's children, she didn't care. Widow Wang would not refuse anyone who came. Well, her second uncle has a wife.
Qin Hongmei, Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yang sat at home for a while and then went back. Xia Chan brought them a pound of chicken cake, and packed ten pounds each of cassava, taro, and wild yam, because every household in the other mountainous villages had them. She doesn't need to give it either.
After they left, Xia Chan immediately took out the paper and pen, wrote with her left hand, and wrote a complaint letter in the name of Xia Qi's stepmother. In short, she would not let Xia Qi's father and stepmother divorce, let alone let Widow Wang become Xia Qi's stepmother. Qixin’s stepmother.
This Widow Wang is not a good person. Stepmother Xia Qi is nothing in front of Widow Wang. This shows how powerful Widow Wang is.
So we must not let Xia Qi be bullied or hurt anymore. Xia Qi's father is a guy who only sees women. He doesn't even have a son in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed Xia Qi to be abused for so long.
However, he is not the kind of man who only loves one woman. If that were the case, he would not have found a stepmother for Xia Qi not long after her mother passed away. He is a complete piece of shit who can't live without women. .
But, he doesn’t love anyone, he only loves himself, and he can live without anything but women.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to get together with Widow Wang now. Maybe the two of them have planned to get rid of Xia Qi's stepmother first, and then be together legitimately. After all, if there is a real divorce, Xia Qi's stepmother will not agree.
If she gets divorced, she and her three daughters will have nothing.
"Brother, whose turn is it to deliver rabbits to the village tomorrow?" Xia Chan asked when they were sitting together for dinner in the evening.
Xia Qi raised her arm, "It's my turn."
"Then let's go together tomorrow morning. I have some things I need to buy." Xia Chan smiled sweetly. Some things must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to wait for others to take action.
The next morning, the sky was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Xia Chan and Xia Qi carried flashlights and carried baskets on their backs and went down the mountain. If they just wanted to send rabbits, they didn't have to do it so early. They could just send them over before the state-owned hotel opened. , but as soon as Xia Chan goes out, she will definitely go to the black market, so she has to go early, as it is easy to be seen during the day.
