Because of Xia Qingmai's sudden resistance, the atmosphere in the old Xia family has not been very good since the second aunt Hu Jianhua left.
Sister-in-law Liu Mei was so angry that she refused to cook and went straight into the house. As soon as Hu Yuhua took out the gourd and scooped up cornmeal for cooking, Xia Qingmai followed.
Xia Qingmai didn't say anything, and they cooked together in silence, which perfectly explained what her second aunt said, "A daughter-in-law is different from a daughter-in-law." '
The whole family finished a meal of cornmeal porridge in a strange atmosphere. As soon as Xia Qingmai returned to her small three-square-meter cubicle built with wooden boards, her younger brother Xia Qingyuan sneaked in.
"Second sister~"
Because he had been brought up by his second sister since he was a child, Xia Qingyuan naturally had unusual feelings for her.
Xia Qingmai also wanted to be more affectionate towards this little brother who was nearly three years younger than him and very much like his brother in his previous life.
When the younger brother handed over seventy-eight cents and a candy ticket, Xia Qingmai's expression became even better.
Seeing that his second sister was happy, Xia Qingyuan, who originally planned to give her a candy ticket, finally stopped worrying about his personal money.
"Second sister, I have just gone to work and haven't been paid yet. When this winter comes, I will buy you clam oil to wipe your hands with."
"I heard people say that if you wipe your hands that are cracked by frostbite, it will help!"
Regardless of whether Xia Qingyuan would change his mind in the winter, at least Xia Qingmai could feel his sincerity now.
Compared to his eldest brother Xia Qingming, who always instigates others to talk about anything, Xia Qingmai still prefers this younger brother who shows his thoughts on his face.
After praising Xia Qingyuan seriously, he went back to his cubicle to sleep as he had to go to work tomorrow.
Before leaving, Xia Qingyuan turned to look at the second sister's cubicle.
His mother had long said that when the second sister got married, she would combine this small cubicle with the one he lived in now, so that he would have a small room of nearly eight square meters to live in.
Xia Qingmai saw the look before Xia Qingyuan left.
But she didn't feel uncomfortable. She had the Ruian Palace brought from Daxia. This small compartment was not as big as her previous clean room. In her opinion, it was just a place for her to stay temporarily.
After closing the wooden door of the cubicle, Xia Qingmai did not go to sleep immediately. She waited for the entire Xia family to quiet down before returning to Ruian Palace in the dark.
Ruian Palace, a small palace specially built by her father, the Queen and her mother for her to recuperate from illness.
It is in a corner of the Daxia Palace. Although the place is not big, the scenery is quiet and suitable for recuperation.
At this time, she was the only one left in Ruian Palace. Although the scenery was there, the little palace ladies who used to laugh and flutter about butterflies to make her happy were all gone.
However, she is now in good health and can walk freely through the palace without feeling tired.
She couldn't say which one was better: losing something in the east and gaining something in the future, a good body but no family members were around, or a life when you couldn't take two steps without gasping and it looked like you wouldn't live long.
Arriving at the bedroom in the backyard, Xia Qingmai was just about to lie down on her soft big bed to relax her muscles when she discovered that two more identical pieces appeared on the dessert plate on the table where she had eaten two pieces last night. Poria cake.
Xia Qingmai blinked in disbelief, then raised her hand decisively, picked up the silver pick from another plate, and inserted a crisp peach that had been washed and cut into pieces by the palace maid into the mouth.
Because of her poor health, she could not eat many snacks and fruits. The Poria Cake, which strengthens the spleen and exudes dampness, soothes the mind, and the crisp peaches, which are warm in nature, are the few things she can eat with confidence.
If these two things are constantly replenished after eating, then at least she won’t be so hungry that she couldn’t sleep like she was on the first night!
Xia Qingmai was so excited. Fortunately, she was in good health now, otherwise she would have fainted like she did in her previous life.
After eating two pieces of crisp peaches and a piece of poria cake, Xia Qingmai walked to the dressing table.
She planned to take out a silver coin to reward the palace servants.
If everything else in Ruian Palace can be replenished, is it okay for her not to get married?
Leaving Ruian Palace with good wishes, Xia Qingmai lay in a small cubicle where it was difficult to turn over, listening to the meowing of wild cats outside the house, and entered her dream in anticipation.
This expectation was dashed the next night.
The silver hairpins taken out will not be replenished, nor will the gold hairpins, nor the palace flowers.
There were only two plates on the round table and a pot of warm water, so I could eat and drink as much as I needed.
"Okay, it looks like I still want to get married."
