"I'm going, why didn't I tell him?" Xia Xiaoba was helpless. Besides, he didn't want his parents to come to the door so soon. He also wanted to stay at his house for a longer time. He had been in the Xiao family for so long. , he hinted many times that Xiao Ming never took the initiative to mention saving him.
"It's okay if I don't explain, but I must thank you for this life-saving grace. It's not good for you to keep hiding your identity like this. Don't worry, I'll know what to say tomorrow." An said.
"We will be neighbors from now on, and we will spend a lot of time in contact. She saved you, and we should repay her where we can." Xia Zhongquan said, although it cannot be said clearly that the person Xiao Ming saved that day was Xia Xiaoba, but They can express their gratitude in another way.
"Yeah." Xia Xiaoba was disappointed, knowing that his days of wandering were over and he could no longer live in the Xiao family after revealing his identity. "The prince sent us here this time mainly for those medicines and the suturing technique. If these medicines can be used on the battlefield, they will definitely save many people." Xia Zhongquan said the purpose of this trip.
"The prince will be coming soon, let's repair the house first."
"Why don't we find someone to try Guangjitang to see if they have any medicine and how effective it is." Xia Wu suggested.
Xia Zhongquan thought for a moment and said, "Well, this method is feasible."
"You can't deliberately use a knife on your body." Xia Xiaoba objected.
"Hey! What's the point? I'll come when the time comes." Xia Zhongquan said. In order to test the efficacy of the medicine himself, he did not hesitate to try it himself. He had been injured on the battlefield and knew the importance of these medicines. He didn't want to but was strongly opposed by the other three.
"No, Dad, I'll do it." Xia Wu suggested.
"Dad, let me do it." Xia Xiaoba also said.
"I wonder why you three are so stupid, you can come up with such bad ideas." Anshi was completely speechless to the father and son. What stupid idea did you think of?
"Send people to guard Guangji Hall every day. There will always be injuries, so it's okay." An's words made the three of them laugh.
"Madam still has an idea." Xia Zhongquan praised.
"Dad, since Mom is fine, I'll go back first." Xia Xiaoba said anxiously. His appearance made Anshi dissatisfied.
"Why are you leaving now after you've just come back?" An said dissatisfied, feeling reluctant to leave.
"It's getting late now, and it's too late to make dinner." Xia Xiaoba said eagerly.
"Why can't my mother miss you even one meal?" Anshi felt very uncomfortable. Her son became someone else's family just a few days after he left. It was really...
"No, no, there are many things at home, and I have to go back to help." Xia Xiaoba explained.
"You've only been out for a few days and you've forgotten about your mother, haven't you? It's really a waste of money to support you. You came all the way and you didn't even have a meal with your mother." Anshi was sad.
"How could it be? Didn't I bring a few jars of fruit wine to honor you and dad." Xia Xiaoba explained, touching his head in embarrassment.
"If you go there tomorrow, you won't see me again."
In the end, Xia Xiaoba left. Looking at his background, An family sighed, the son he had worked so hard to raise was about to fly away.
"Don't be sad, Xiaoba is old and will leave us one day." Xia Zhongquan comforted.
"We will see them again tomorrow when we go to repair the house."
"It's like this now. If you have a wife in the future, Xiaowu is better." Anshi was sad.

The Xiao family dinner was particularly lively because of the addition of two new members. Xiao Yu quickly accepted this poor young lady. In his heart, Wang Quling and Wang Tiandong had no parents just like him. Pitiful.
Mrs. Song prepared a large table of dishes in the evening, all of which were light and delicious and suitable for the injured child Wang Tiandong.
Wang Tiandong's child had a head injury and could only eat in his room.
Wang Yunling and her younger brother have never had such good food and sumptuous dishes. Growing up, they only watched Liu Baogen eat the best, and they ate leftovers.
Everyone was very enthusiastic towards her. Mrs. Song kept putting vegetables in Wang Yunling's hands, and her bowl almost overflowed, so she advised her to use more.
Xiao Yu gave his favorite peach wine to Wang Yunling and said, "Sister Yunling, this is peach wine. It's delicious. Try a little."
Wang Yunling held the cup carefully and took a sip. It was mellow and sweet. This was the best thing she had ever tasted.
"It tastes good. I'll pour you some more." Xiao Yu said and refilled it for her.
Xia Xiaoba looked on at the side and was very appreciative. He used it for the little girl before he could eat it. He couldn't help but handed the cup over and asked Xiao Yu to pour some for him.
"Xiaoyu, give me something to drink."
"I don't, this is what my aunt left for me. All that's left is this small jar. You have such a big mouth and you can finish it in one gulp." Xiao Yu protected his esophagus and what he said made everyone laugh and made Xia Xiaoba blush. .
"What are you talking about? I'm so loud. Do you know he is handsome?" Xia Xiaoba argued, "This is handsome, handsome."
"Your palms are so big, and your mouth is so big. Yesterday when I was eating grapes, I could only hold two in one hand. You grabbed four of them and ate them all in one go. Isn't this a big mouth? You're not allowed to drink my wine." It’s over.”
"Haha." Xiao Han laughed so much that he spit out a mouthful of rice and choked. He quickly turned his head to the side and coughed.
"Hey, you little brat, what did you say?" Xia Xiaoba was furious, feeling that his wise and mighty image had been completely destroyed. In the end, he had no choice but to threaten: "Will you give me a drink, or I will leave the city?" I won’t let you eat the Yun Guifang pastries I brought inside.”
Xiao Yu hesitated again and again, compared for a moment, and finally said reluctantly: "Then I'll give you a little drink."
"That's pretty much it." Xia Xiaoba was satisfied and proud, and reminded him: "Also, you can't say that I have a big mouth in the future. I am handsome, handsome, you know."
Whoever said he was loudmouthed, he had to worry about someone.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoba was in a good mood, Xiao Ming knew that his matter was resolved and didn't ask.
After the meal, Xia Xiaoba took out the gifts prepared by An. Xiao Han and Xiao Yu had two different sets of Four Treasures of the Study, which were high-quality goods brought from the capital, but Xiao Ming received a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes. , embroidered by An himself, using the size of his twelve-year-old cousin. He was afraid that it would be too small so he deliberately made it a little larger.
From the soles to the uppers, every step is done by her herself. The exquisite patterns embroidered on the uppers are made of fine silk threads with a precious gold thread mixed in. They sparkle under the light, making them exquisite and precious. .
Mrs. Song held it in her hand and praised it for a while, "These shoes are well embroidered. Is this the first time I have seen such beautiful shoes?" Then she measured them with her hands and said happily: "Oh, this is just the right size." Sister Ming can wear it."
"It's too expensive, put it away first." Xiao Ming suggested. She liked it very much, but it was a pity that she walked in the fields every day, so wearing such beautiful shoes was a waste of money.
"Thank you for letting them worry about it."
"Hey, how did you know it was from my parents?"
"Haha, I guessed it." Xiao Ming just smiled and said nothing. She was not sure at first, but now she is sure.
