Chapter 19: Ability to communicate with parents

The family worked for a whole day to finish boiling all the malt sugar.

The remaining twenty or so pounds were placed in a basin.

The weather is about right.

I still have half of the meat I bought two days ago left, and I still have time to eat it today.

Shen Xia cooked for everyone herself.

After dinner in the evening, everyone went to bed early.

Shen Xia said to Song Ming: "Second brother, let's go to the market together tomorrow."

"Okay." Song Ming nodded.

"My injury is almost healed, so I can go with you." Song Jiang suggested.

Shen Xia looked at him seriously and said, "Okay, go if you want to!"

It's a bit crowded to put one hundred bags in two backpacks, so three backpacks would be better.

Before going to bed, I looked at my cocoon and found that half of it had already emerged.

Now because the malt has been made into maltose, the upper shelves are empty.

He took out a dustpan, put paper on it, and put the moths that had emerged from their cocoons into another dustpan for mate.

However, the cocoons of these wild silkworms are a bit small. They are fine if made into yarn, but if made into quilts, they may not achieve the desired effect.

Alas! It seems that it is still a little difficult to make everyone rich by raising silkworms.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. If this doesn't work, I'll think of other ways.

After looking at the silk cocoons, Shen Xia went to bed.

Everyone lies in bed

"Sister, you are so awesome!"

“The one who can cook is the best!”

"Sister is good at everything. Sister, can you teach me, please? Once I learn it, I won't let you do the work. You just watch by the side." Xiaowu said seriously.

"Well, why?" Shen Xia asked.

"Because Xiaowu doesn't want my sister to work hard, and is afraid that my sister will abandon us if the work is too hard." Xiaowu whispered.

"No, sister won't give up Xiaowu. Sister will work hard to save money, and then send Xiaowu to a private school, and then watch Xiaowu grow up." Shen Xia talked about his arrangements.

"I don't want to study. I want to follow my sister and do business." Xiaowu retorted.

"But my sister likes scholars!" Shen Xia thought that if she said this, Xiaowu would definitely consider studying seriously.

But she forgot that she did like the scholar before, the scholar named Jiang Yi.

When Song Jin heard this, he thought that Shen Xia still liked that scholar.

"Sister likes scholars. If there is a chance, I will study hard and repay you in the future. I want to pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official, and let you be his wife, okay?" Xiaowu said longingly.

"Okay, wait for our Xiaowu to become the top scorer in the imperial examination." Shen Xia encouraged him.

"Sister, you haven't finished yet. You still want to be an official's wife."

Shen Xia smiled softly and said, "Okay - wait for Xiao Wu to let my sister be the official's wife."

"Ah."

There was a period of silence, and then Xiaowu's snoring could be heard.

Song Jin's voice came to my ears.

Song Jin said: "Xia Xia, thank you for your hard work during this time."

"Third brother, please don't be polite. We are a family. I treat you as my own brothers and you should do your part for this family." Shen Xia said.

Brother?

After hearing this, Song Jin didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything else.

It seems that Xia Xia still can't accept us.

Song Jin didn't say anything else, and Shen Xia didn't say anything either, and slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But suddenly I remembered that I haven’t been to the space for many days, so I went in to take a look.

After thinking about it, he went in.

I went to the shoe cabinet first.

Shock

It turned out that my parents could really enter the house. I saw a note saying, "Xia Xia, where have you been? Mom misses you so much. What happened to you? I went to find Fu Cheng, and he said you broke up."

"Xia Xia, where have you been? What happened to you?"

When Shen Xia saw the water droplets on the paper, she could imagine the sadness and grief in her parents' hearts when they wrote those words.

Tears flowed out of my eyes like a flood.

I couldn't help but blame myself deeply, and my heart was filled with endless regret and guilt.

As the only daughter in the family, I should have shouldered the responsibility of taking care of my parents and fulfilling my filial piety, but now I am unable to be with them. This is really a great act of filial piety!

When I think about my parents being left alone and helpless in their old age, my heart aches like a knife.

How will they spend the rest of their lives? Who will care about their daily lives? Who can give them warmth and comfort? These questions weighed on my heart like a heavy stone, making Shen Xia breathless.

Every tear that falls represents her longing and worry for her parents, and also tells of the pain and helplessness deep in her heart.

Shen Xia picked up the pen and wrote at the end: "Mom and Dad, I'm still alive. I don't know how I traveled to an imaginary ancient time. This house is where my soul can travel back to. We can communicate by writing letters."

"I'm living well here, don't worry. My soul can travel back to this house at any time. If you have anything to say, please leave me a note. I can see it."

"Fu Cheng, just don't worry about him. We have broken up peacefully."

"I'm doing fine, don't worry." After writing, he glanced at the furniture coverings that had been completely disassembled.

It has returned to the state it was in before people lived there.

Go back to bed.

The tears still couldn't stop falling.

Fortunately, I can still contact my parents.

otherwise----

Although Shen Xia's sobbing was very soft, Song Jin, who had sharp hearing, could still hear it very clearly.

Song Jin heard the sound and reached out to touch Shen Xia's hand, and felt that his hands were full of tears.

He asked softly, "Xia Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Xia sobbed, "Third brother, it's okay."

Song Jin was worried. Although he couldn't see her these days, he could hear that Xia Xia was happy every day. He had never seen her cry or be so sad.

Then he gently moved Xiaowu away.

He held Shen Xia in his arms and said, "Xia Xia, I don't know why you are sad, but I can feel that you are very upset. Do you feel wronged in the Song family?"

"No, no!"

"why?"

"I miss my parents." Shen Xia said slowly.

Song Jin thought it was Shen's father and mother.

Thinking that blood ties run deep, no matter how badly they treat Xia Xia, they are still her biological parents, and they do think so, so they suggested: "How about letting your second brother accompany you back to see it tomorrow?"

When Shen Xia heard this, she knew he had misunderstood and said, "Not good."

When Song Jin heard this, it seemed that Xia Xia still hadn't let it go, but she missed her parents very much.

"Okay, I'll listen to Xia Xia." Song Jin patted Shen Xia's back gently.

Shen Xia fell asleep unknowingly.

Although Song Jin couldn't see, he held the person in his arms with heartache.

I couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

I was still thinking about how Xia Xia was crying happily because she missed her parents, and what I should do to please her.

As I was thinking, I felt the person in my arms fall asleep.

I felt relieved too.
