Chapter 894 Rejection
Later, Xia Zihan learned from the village chief’s wife that these peanuts were peanut seeds left over from her cousin’s family and were to be planted in May.
Xia Zihan gave her so much food. The family was too poor, and her cousin couldn't give her anything decent in return. She felt embarrassed, so she saw the peanut seeds at home and gritted her teeth, thinking that at worst, there would be less food this year. After planting a few peanuts, she poured out a blue basket of peanuts, cooked them, and gave them to Xia Zihan to eat.
At this time, Xia Zihan didn't know they were peanut seeds and was still eating them with gusto. Especially Chu Lin, who slurped in her mouth and ate them very fragrantly. She loved eating these shelled snacks the most.
After the aunt was free, Xia Zihan asked her to sit down. The aunt then said with a smile, "The head of my family went to the fields and hasn't come back yet. This... how about I ask my son to come over and sit with you?" .”
I always felt that the village chief and his lady came because they had something to do, and it seemed a little inappropriate for a woman to entertain them.
But her eldest son was only fifteen years old, and it seemed inappropriate... How could she let her child accompany guests?
For a moment, my cousin felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to do.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "Well, it's okay to call your eldest son. If Aunt Cao doesn't feel tired, go to the field and call Uncle Cao. I have something to tell you."
As soon as the aunt heard that the lady had something to do with them, she didn't dare to delay. She quickly called her youngest son to go to the fields to call her head of the family back. The half-grown child ran away quickly, and she called the eldest son who had already piled up the food and was washing his hands. Go back to the house and spend time with your guests.
"Madam, this is my eldest son. He is fifteen years old this year. He is honest and hardworking. He can be an adult at home." He pulled the shy and embarrassed eldest son forward and said, "Dagang Son, come here quickly and pay your respects to Madam.”
Da Gangzi was also an honest man. He knelt down and kowtowed to Xia Zihan three times with a normal voice, "Husband...Hello, madam, thank you for the food." He stammered his thanks.
"Get up quickly. In fact, it was your Caojia Village that was kind to me when I gave you food. I just came here to repay the favor. You don't need to thank me."
With that said, he ordered Chu Cang to pull Dagangzi up.
"Favor, what favor? Why don't I remember seeing Madam?" the village chief asked curiously.
Xia Zihan smiled sarcastically and said, "This small matter has already passed. The villagers may have forgotten it, so it's okay not to mention it."
She didn't even mention it, and the village chief was embarrassed to continue asking.
Seeing Xia Zihan's discomfort, the cousin quickly changed the subject, "My youngest son who just ran to call me the head of the family is only twelve years old. He is usually the naughtiest, but he also works hard. Sometimes, I can’t even fuck him.”
Mentioning her two sons, the flesh on her cousin's face shone, and her thin face was filled with smiles. She then mentioned her two daughters, "There are two little girls at home, and they all ran out to play. At home.”
"There are many children in the family. Originally, there was not enough food to eat this year. During this period, the family only drank gruel. But now it is better. With the food sent by my wife, the family is no longer short of food, and the children can also have a full meal. It’s time to eat.”
As he said that, his eyes were red, he was really grateful to Xia Zihan for his kindness.
The village chief also looked grateful.
The village chief's family has the second best living conditions in Cao's village except for Mrs. Cao's family. But even the village chief's family has to eat two meals of porridge in winter. Otherwise, the family will run out of food in May and June of the next year. .
Like my cousin's family, which has many children, including two and a half grown-ups, the food shortage is the most severe. At this time of the month, in order for the children not to starve to death, the adults have to tighten their belts and eat less, and the children also I had to go to the nearby mountains to dig wild vegetables every day and cook porridge to satisfy my hunger.
Thinking of these days, the three meals a day the family had were wild vegetable soup, and not even a grain of rice could be found in the soup. My cousin could not help but shed tears. Xia Zihan handed over a handkerchief.
The cousin quickly shook her head, "I don't dare to use Madam's, I have it."
As he spoke, he took out a gray handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his eyes.
The handkerchief had been used for many years, and the color had faded with washing, almost turning it into a layer of mesh.
Xia Zihan didn't laugh at her cousin, but seeing how difficult her life was, her heart felt heavy and she regretted not coming to help her earlier.
"Madam, village chief, my boss is back." When the cousin heard the familiar footsteps outside the door, she got up and hurried out to get water for the boss to wash his hands.
After a while, my aunt and uncle came in.
My cousin has a very honest face, he is also honest, and he doesn't talk much. When he sees Xia Zihan, he will be embarrassed and shy, and he is not as eloquent as his aunt.
Xia Zihan smiled and saw that it was getting late, so he stopped lingering and opened the skylight directly to tell them that he would give Mrs. Cao's house to their family.
As soon as these words came out, the cousin jumped up in shock, "Oh my god, this is impossible. We can't take over such an expensive house."
The uncle also suppressed his face and said, "Husband... madam, this gift is too precious, we can't ask for it. As the saying goes, no merit will be rewarded. Although our family is a little poor, we still have the backbone. This We can’t want things that are for no reason.”
The couple are both honest people, and they don't want this house for anything.
When Xia Zihan gave food to the whole village before, they followed the trend and accepted it.
But this house was so expensive, they didn't dare to ask for it, and they were afraid that if they did, they felt burdened. They couldn't bear to ask for so many benefits for no reason.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "Who said it was for nothing? Aunt Cao, you have helped me before. Maybe it has been a long time and you don't remember me. However, I remember you. It was you who helped me back then." , so, I send you home I give you my son to repay my kindness. If you don't accept it, then this kindness will always be on my heart and will never go away. Even if you help me one more time, you will help me accept this house. ”
Aunt Tang's eyes widened and she looked at Xia Zihan in disbelief, "I don't even remember anything I've helped you with?"
Of course you don't remember, that happened in a previous life.
It's been a lifetime, it's strange that you remember it.
Xia Zihan said seriously, "I helped, but many years have passed and my appearance has changed a lot. You may not remember it, but I still remember you. You are still the same and you haven't aged much. ”
In her previous life, she died two years later, and her cousin at that time was the same as she is now, not aged at all.
