How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?
Chapter 40 1 Family
Someone helped, and the stall was quickly closed. Dong Xiaohuan held Xia Tian's wrist, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a minor injury." Dong Xiaohuan really looked like her mother. Xia Tian felt a little uncomfortable and shook her arm twice to prevent her from worrying. "It doesn't hurt at all."
"Okay, okay, stop shaking him off." Dong Xiaohuan quickly held him down. "I believe it, I believe it."
Xia Tian scratched the back of his head, smiled, and handed the meat over.
"That's perfect. I'll grill some meat for you guys at noon." They were going to be a family from now on, so Dong Xiaohuan didn't hesitate. "It's a good thing you're all here. I'll tell you something. See if you're willing to help."
"What's the matter, Mom?" It must be the news that the house here will be given to them to live in. My brothers will definitely be very happy to know that.
"You can't imagine." Dong Xiaohuan saw that she was secretly happy, so she deliberately whetted her appetite, went to the kitchen to put some meat in, and prepared to do the laundry.
"I'll wash it!" Xia Tian said and went to get the basin.
"No need for you, but don't get your hands wet!" After finally convincing them, Dong Xiaohuan went out to wash clothes with a trail of children following her. She wanted to laugh just looking at them. Who else could be as stylish as her, with four tails following her when washing clothes?
When she reached the river, few people were washing clothes anymore, and it was getting late. She had just put down the basin when a few drops of water suddenly splashed beside her, accompanied by a heavy groan.
"What are you doing!" Guan Xu stopped Dong Xiaohuan, pointed at the boy next to him, and said firmly, "You did it on purpose!"
"So what if you did it on purpose!" Shi Xiaoshan smashed the hammer with all his strength again, stood up, and glared at Dong Xiaohuan fiercely.
"Xiaoshan?" Dong Xiaohuan looked at him in surprise, but soon understood the reason. Yesterday, Wang Yong was so determined to take Shi Niangzi with him, and Shi Niangzi was beaten again that night. It was not surprising that Shi Xiaoshan would resent her. She sighed, picked up the basin and walked away. "Guan Xu, come here."
Guan Xu snorted heavily at Shi Xiaoshan, and deliberately raised his fist and waved it before walking to Dong Xiaohuan.
Shi Xiaoshan gritted his teeth and continued to squat down to wash clothes.
Xia Chu glanced at him several times. She had also heard a woman screaming for help last night, and it sounded like Shi Niangzi. She hadn't come out to wash clothes today. Could she have been beaten and couldn't get up? With this kid's attitude, and at an age when he's most prone to impulsive behavior, she had to be careful and guard against him doing anything bad.
The laundry was done, and Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu took over the job of hanging the clothes. Dong Xiaohuan didn't argue with them, secretly feeling happy. None of these children were bad or lazy. If they were all adopted, they would probably only enjoy a good life.
Xia Chu followed her closely, "Mom, isn't that what I talked about yesterday? What was it? Couldn't you tell me in advance?"
"Let's talk about it while we eat. Go away, don't block the road." Dong Xiaohuan said with disgust, but the smile on her face never disappeared.
In the summer, I would sit by the stove and light a fire, watching my sister play with a smile.
Wang Yong said that he would not come back for lunch during this period and would go look for a house during his break.
The meal was finally served, and the children sat obediently, waiting for Dong Xiaohuan to start eating first. She cleared her throat and said, "The pearl we sold earlier is worth quite a bit, enough to buy a small house. But something happened at home recently, so we're planning to move. Yesterday, Xiaochu said she'd sell the house to her, and Xiaotian and the other two would live there."
Xia Tian was stunned by the news. Why did he buy a house for them to live in? He looked at his sister blankly. Was that pearl so valuable? Could it be worth a house?
Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu stared at each other, blinking as they struggled to process this tremendous news. They were going to have a house? A home? No longer having to live in a deserted house, crawling in and out of a dog hole every day, constantly worried about being discovered and kicked out?
"But," Dong Xiaohuan paused, not intentionally, but simply pondering the words, "your Uncle Wang and I have discussed it. It would be inconvenient for you children to set up your own household and live alone without an adult. I think, and this is my personal opinion, that it's okay if you don't want to. We should sell this house, pool the money, and buy a large house, divide it into two, and leave a small door in the middle. You can come over for meals and take care of each other if anything happens. As for the household registration, we can set it up in our names, so that the military service and population tax can be reduced."
The original plan was to buy a large house, but they later decided they were getting a bargain. Since Xia Chu owned the money, if they kept the deed, it would be like they were getting the house for free. So they decided to split the house into two, with two deed pieces: one for themselves and the other for Xia Chu. This would also prevent the possibility of having children and making it difficult to divide them when they got older. When Xia Chu got married, she could also take the deed with her.
Xia Chu's eyes widened in surprise, "Is it okay? Does Dad agree?"
"I agree. We discussed it last night. It depends on whether you are willing or not." Dong Xiaohuan looked at Xia Tian and the other three. They were still dazed, as if they hadn't reacted yet. "You guys think about it first. Finding a house won't be that quick."
"Brother?" Xia Chu pulled Xia Tian. It was such a good thing, why were you still hesitating?
"Then will we have household registration in the future?" Xia Tian was silent for a moment, looking at Dong Xiaohuan, his eyes getting redder and redder. "We have a home now? For all of us together?"
Dong Xiaohuan nodded, her nose a little sour, "Yes, we will be one family from now on. If there is any money left, I can send you to school."
Xia Tian suddenly raised his hands to cover his eyes, his cheeks tense. It was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress his crying, but he still let out a few sobs.
Zhang Zhou hugged his elder brother, feeling as if he were dreaming. Guan Xu wanted to cry, but the aroma of meat kept drilling into his nose, and his saliva flowed faster than his tears.
"Thank you, Mom." Xia Chu sniffed, unsure how to express her gratitude. She had never thought the Wang family would take in Xia Tian and his family, with three sons who were still able to remember things. Even if they didn't have any children and wanted to adopt orphans, they wouldn't have chosen them. Besides, the Wang family wasn't wealthy, and raising three boys wasn't something anyone could afford.
"I've already called you mother, so why should I thank you?" Dong Xiaohuan pressed her eyes and clapped her hands with a smile. "Okay, okay, the food will get cold soon. Let's eat first. You all have to help me with work this afternoon."
Xia Tian wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang."
"Okay, we're all family from now on. Let's not talk about this anymore. Eat quickly." Dong Xiaohuan picked up the chopsticks and a child put a piece of meat on it. "Eat more, grow strong, and help me with work in the future."
"My elder brother can do anything!" Guan Xu stared at the pieces of meat in the bowl and stuffed them all into his mouth in one gulp.
Dong Xiaohuan laughed, "Why don't you say you can do anything?"
Xia Tian looked at his brother with both anger and amusement, what a greedy cat he was.
"I can do anything." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.
"I know you're all capable." There were four children at the table, all from my family. Dong Xiaohuan looked at each one, the more she looked, the more she liked them. How come all these children are so good-looking? Strange.
