The shopkeeper was stunned and asked tentatively, "is your second brother?"

"Xiawen, where is he? You let him out."

The shopkeeper and Qing'er took a look at each other and asked, "who are you?"

Come impatient stare, "I call him second brother, you say who I am, hurry up, call him out."

"Then..."

"What's this and that? Hurry up and shout."

Qing'er gives the shopkeeper a soothing look and goes to the back.

Xia Wen and Xia Xi are talking about jewelry. Qing'er comes into the room in a hurry, "Dad, someone is looking for you outside."

"Say it?"

"Calling you second brother, looks a bit like you."

Miso!

Xia Wen stood up, his voice trembling, "where are the people?"

"In the front."

Voice decline, Xia Wen has been anxious to go out.

Xia Xi stands up and goes out, asking Qing'er, "what's the matter?"

"I don't know. Suddenly a man came and said he wanted to find his father."

Xia Xi frowned, went to the door, then heard a sad voice, "second brother, I can find you!"

Xia Xi opens the curtain and goes in. She sees a man holding Xia Wen with tears streaming.

Xia Wen's voice was choking. "Third brother, how did you become like this?"

"I..."

The man just opened his mouth, Xia Xi stepped forward to interrupt, said Xia Wen, "Dad, this is not the place to speak, we go to the back to say."

Xia Wen patted the man on the back, "third brother, let's go to the back first."

The man wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Xia Xi frowns and gets out of the way. Xia Wen staggers and pulls the man to the back.

"Shopkeeper, make a pot of tea."

The shopkeeper should personally brew a pot of tea, Xia Xi took it to the house.

The man was wiping his tears. "Second brother, you don't know. It's hard for me to find you. I went to Xiajia village. They said that you have moved away. No one knows where you have moved. Fortunately, I later found out that you had business in Qingyun County, so I rushed there. Unexpectedly, you also transferred the business there. It took me nine cows and two tigers to find out that you came to Pingyang County and just came here. I just heard that your teahouse opened today and came here. "

Xia Wen also wiped tears, "third brother, you've worked hard."

Xia Xi poured a cup of tea for the man, "third uncle, drink tea."

"What's this?"

The man doubts.

"My eldest daughter, Xia Xi."

"It turned out to be my niece. I..."

The man touched on his body, took out a dime of silver and handed it to him, "third uncle didn't prepare any gifts. Take this silver and buy something delicious."

This is to take her as a child coax, Xia Xi mouth micro hook, "third uncle, no need."

"Take it, third uncle knows you are too little, but now third uncle is down and out, no matter how much you have."

"I don't need it. You can see how much silver a pot of tea can be sold in our teahouse. I really have a lot of your money."

The man blushed and put up the silver.

Xia Wen looked distressed and scolded, "Xi'er, how can I talk to your third uncle?"

Xia Xi changed a smiling face, "I'm joking with my third uncle. I didn't expect that he collected the silver again."

The man's face is even more hung, the old face flushed, contrary to the sadness just now, laughed twice.

"My niece can really make fun of me. Uncle, I take it seriously."

With these words, the silver was not taken out again.

"Third uncle, why do you suddenly think of looking for my father?"

"I..."

The man wants to talk and stops. He looks at Xia Xi with his eyes.

Xia Wen saw that he didn't want to say in front of Xia Xi and asked her to go out, "Xi'er, you go out first. I haven't seen your third uncle for a long time. I have something to say."

"All right."

Xia Xi stood up and walked out. After a few steps, she stopped and asked, "Dad, do you want to arrange dinner for you and uncle in my restaurant?"

The man's eyes flashed with light, "second brother's family has opened a restaurant?"

"It's Xi..."

Xia Wengang opens his mouth. Xia Xi interrupts him and says with a smile, "yes, it's not far away."

"Then..."

The man looks forward to Xia Wen with obvious intention.

"Then arrange a table."

"Well, you talk to the third uncle first, and I'll arrange it now."

Xia Xi goes out, the door is not closed tightly, the man's voice brings crying again, "second brother, but you don't know..."

Xia Xi raised her lips and went to the front.

Qing'er came forward and said, "elder sister, who is he?"

"Our third uncle."

"Third uncle?"

Qing'er was surprised. For so many years, she never knew that her father still had relatives.

"Go home and ask your mother! What's the origin of our three uncles? "

They went home and told you.

On hearing that the Xia family was coming, you couldn't sit still. He walked around the house with a deep frown. "He can say, what's he doing here?"

"I didn't say, but he's so poor."

"That's impossible!"

You shook his head, "your grandparents' family is also a rich family, the family is bigger than ours, not to this extent."

"Have you been there?"

You sighed, "once, your grandparents didn't like to see me. They called the patriarch, wrote the severance book, and drove us out."

"And this?"

You nodded, "when I eloped with your father, I didn't go back to Xiajia village until I had you. I told you that."

They nodded, "we know that, and then what?"

"Then, your grandparents thought that we eloped, and they urged us to go to your grandparents' house, hoping to let your grandparents accept us in the face of the children. Your father was homesick, and I wanted to get their approval, so I went back with him. I didn't expect that your grandparents had a big prejudice against me. They said they wouldn't let me in, and forced your father to make a choice. Either, they chose to go home and marry a daughter-in-law again. As for me, they gave me a sum of money to finish the work; Or, break off the relationship with your father and never have his son or his share in the family property. "

"Naturally, your father didn't want to marry his daughter-in-law again. Your grandparents were so angry that they called the patriarch to come over, wrote a severance letter, and forced me and your father out of the house."

Xia Xi squints.

You sighed again, "since then, I haven't been there any more. It's your father who regularly brings some silver to your grandparents every month. Later, they passed away one after another. Your father went home to mourn and was driven out. Later, it has nothing to do with that side. "

Xia Xi nodded, thinking of the shabby carriage and the skinny horse that she saw at the door of the teahouse, she hooked her mouth up. "Mother, I'll go back to the restaurant to arrange dinner, and you'll go with me to see what my third uncle is doing?"
