Chapter 36 Taking Xiaotian in

Chapter 36 Taking Xiaotian in

Because there were still a few adult men, the pit was dug quickly.

It's not for a coffin, so the hole can't be that big.

It still looks like a grave.

Shen Xia was holding Xiao Wu's hand and looking at the wood in his arms.

Understand what he wants to do.

Then he said to him gently: "You must live well and live a promising life, so that you can gloriously erect a tombstone for your grandfather one day."

After hearing this, Xiaotian looked at the wooden board in his hand with a dull look in his eyes. I don’t even know where my next meal is coming from, so how can I have the chance to bring honor to my family?

Silently without saying anything.

After Xiaotian and other elders had piled the grave, they placed a wooden board in front of it, although there were no words on it.

"Grandpa, when I grow up, I will erect a monument for you." Xiaotian stood holding a wooden sign and spoke of his promise to his grandfather.

The people watching nearby were also feeling sad.

After everything is packed up,

The village chief was hesitant and didn't know how to make the arrangements. He glanced at the people around him and decided that his family's conditions were definitely slightly better.

But I didn't dare to bring him back.

Then I looked at Aunt Liu's family. As the village chief, he knew the situation of every household in the village. It was definitely not okay for the Liu family to have two people working and nine people eating.

Song Chengjun's family was large, and there were only Song Chengjun and his wife who worked on the farm. There were only two rooms and a kitchen in the house, and there were 167 people.

There's definitely no room for you.

Finally, looking at Song’s second wife, that is, Song’s mother, the village chief took a look and turned his head away. It was even more impossible for Song’s second wife’s family to go there.

The elderly, the weak and the sick in the family.

Just when I was about to ask Xiaotian if he was willing to follow me.

Shen Xia also understood and saw the village chief's dilemma.

Before the village chief could speak.

Shen Xia interrupted and said, "Xiaotian, are you willing to live with me?" When these words came out, everyone around was stunned.

No one expected that in their eyes, the Song family had always been the poorest and most destitute family.

Xiaotian didn't expect this. He just stared at Shen Xia in a daze, and even couldn't believe his own ears.

It turned out that when sister Xia Xia comforted herself by saying that she would come back to erect a monument when she had brought honor to the family in the future, she had already had the idea of ​​taking herself in.

When I was in the most pain and suffering, her smile was like a ray of warm light shining on me and wrapping me tightly.

Shen Xia looked at him and didn't answer, thinking that he was unwilling?

Then he continued, "If you follow me, I can't guarantee that I can take good care of you. I can only say that you should eat what I eat."

"Are you willing?" Shen Xia continued to ask.

Xiaotian looked at Song's mother hesitantly. He knew that Sister Xia Xia was good to him, but he was afraid that she would be embarrassed in the Song family.

Mother Song saw Xiaotian looking at her and touched his head and said, "In our family, Xia Xia has the final say."

Others were also surprised when they heard this. Although they all knew that Song's mother was a quiet person and not the kind of person who would treat her daughter-in-law harshly, they did not expect Shen Xia to have such a high status in the Song family.

She has the final say. When Shen Xia was in the old Shen family, she was like a cow and she was responsible for everything.

She is just like the maids served by the old Shen family, or even worse than them.

I didn't expect that she would change so much after arriving at the Song family. Even her eyes changed. Is it because the Song family treats her well?

Of course, this is all the village chief's idea.

"Okay, thank you Sister Xia Xia." Xiaotian said gratefully.

Xiao Wu heard it and said: "I have a younger brother too."

When the village chief heard this, he felt mixed emotions: "Song's second wife, your family?"

Seeing the village chief hesitant to speak, Song's mother said, "Uncle San, don't worry. We can still squeeze in if we squeeze in."

Seeing that Song Er's wife said this, the village chief didn't say anything else.

In this way, a large group of people went down the mountain together.

When they reached the fork in the road, Xiaotian knelt down and kowtowed to everyone, saying, "Thank you, uncles and the village chief. I will always remember your kindness and will repay you if I have the opportunity to make great achievements in the future."

When everyone heard this, they didn't expect that Xiaotian, at such a young age, could speak so eloquently.

The village chief patted his head and said, "It's just a small favor. Just repay the Song family."

Then he said to Shen Xia: "Mrs. Song, this child is grateful and can be raised well."

Of course, these are just polite words. The Song family doesn’t even have the money to train their own people, so how can they have the money to train outsiders?

"Okay, thank you, Third Uncle." No matter what the village chief said, Shen Xia, as a junior, would agree as long as it was not excessive.

It's almost noon.

Everyone went home by themselves.

Xiaowu held Xiaotian's hand all the way. They are four years apart in age, so they should have something to talk about.

Back home to my own yard.

At this time, Song Jiang and Song Ming had not returned yet and entered the yard.

Shen Xia said to Song's mother, "Mom, when we make enough money from our business, we will build a new yard."

"Okay. Now what should we do?"

"Now let Xiaowu, Xiaotian and the third brother sleep in one room, and mother and I will live in another room."

When Song's mother heard this, she wondered how long it would take for her to hold her grandson if they had to sleep separately.

But now I think that there is no place for the child to live, so it might as well wait for a while.

Song Jin heard some noise in the yard and came out.

When Shen Xia saw Song Jin, she walked over, took his hand and sat down on the stool in the yard, and then told him what happened in the Chen family today.

By the way, he also talked about how he took Xiaotian in.

Xiaotian was also nearby, and heard Sister Xia Xia mention that she was very nervous.

Until I heard Third Brother Song say, "Xia Xia will make the decision."

Only then did I feel relieved. Everyone in the Song family is so nice. I must work harder in the future, do more housework, and earn more money when I grow up, so that I can repay Sister Xia Xia and the Song family.

After finishing speaking, Shen Xia said to the third brother: "Third brother, sit in the yard. Xiaotian's hand is a little injured. I will take him to apply medicine."

Because Xiaotian was so sad that he dug the soil with his hands, all ten fingertips were bleeding.

Shen Xia took him to wash his hands. After washing, she took him back to her room and took out a set of Xiaowu's clothes for Xiaotian to change into. They were much bigger.

I can only make do with it. I bought some extra cloth the day before yesterday, and I will ask my mother to make two sets of clothes for Xiaotian later.

I had told Xiaowu before about taking his clothes in the yard. Xiaowu was very willing and liked this new brother very much.

Because everyone in the family has a younger brother except him, he is very happy now that he has a younger brother too.

Then, there was some medicine for the abrasions that I had given to my second brother that was not put back into the space, so I gave it to Xiaowu.

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

If I hadn't seen the cold sweat on his forehead, I would have really believed him. He is young but has great endurance. It seems that if he teaches him well, he will be able to succeed.

"You can't get your hands wet after applying medicine on them. These hands can't touch water."

When Xiaotian heard that he was not allowed to touch water, his face wrinkled like a ball.

How can you avoid touching water? How can you work without touching water?

Shen Xia certainly knew what he was thinking: "It's only a few days, you have to persevere, you'll have plenty of time to work later if you want."

After hearing this, Xiaotian was no longer sad. He just wanted to heal his wounds first and then go back to work. If he didn't recover, his sister would be worried.

"You will sleep in this room with Xiaowu at night."

"It's okay, Sister Xia Xia, I can sleep on the floor."

"Sleeping underground, getting sick, and then spending money on medical treatment."

When Xiaotian heard this, he stopped talking. He also knew that Sister Xia Xia was concerned about him.

After applying the medicine, Shen Xia took Xiaotian out.

Let Xiaowu and Xiaotian play together.

I went back to my room and packed my things and went to my mother's room. I only had two or three sets of clothes, so there was nothing to pack.

He just carried his small cabinet and went over.

Song's mother's room is the smallest of the three rooms, and the bed is also small, estimated to be only about 1.5 meters.

Fortunately, two people can stay here.

Don't worry, if the business goes well, we can build a house next month.
