Hearing the words from Leman's wife, the expression on Lexie's face was already somewhat unstoppable, she smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for your kindness, but my parents just died, she said, I have to keep your filial piety for 3 years, some years this can't be married."
"Ah it turns out so, no problem, wait when you have completed your service just talked about again." The leman's wife then made small talk, then said goodbye.
After Lexie thanked him once more, Lexie then delivered the two.
Closing the door, Lexie let out a long sigh, this leman's wife is a little too friendly.
"Miss this sticky rice cake ..." Ernie looked at him doubtfully.
Lexie smiled, "You eat."
When getting permission, Erni immediately opened the package, and took out a piece of glutinous cake and ate it, she wanted to call Lucas to eat it together, but instead saw an unhappy look on Lucas's face beside her.
"Sister, if there's no one then you can marry into a good man's family." Lucas is sad for Lexie.
Lexie raised her hand, her index finger was on Lucas' eyebrow frown, then said jokingly: "Lucas, you are still 6 years old, but why is it like a little adult. Besides I wouldn't plan on getting married, wait when I take care of you until you're 18, when you grow up then I'll go to be a nun."
Lucas looked up in shock, unaware of her joke, he grabbed Lexie's hand, "Sister, where can you be a nun? Sis, you must marry, there must be someone who wants to marry you."
"Lucas, why should women marry?" Lexie looked at Lucas anxiously, she became doubtful.
Lucas's face turned pale, suddenly sadly saying: "My mother, since she can't get married, she is oppressed by the entire population of the village, he said, I also don't want big brother to be bullied for not having someone to lean on ..."
Lexie sighed, took Lucas into her arms, patted him on the back and said: "It's all just the past, and again your mother wasn't oppressed for not being married, your mother was bullied, it wasn't her fault, she said, but the fault of those who have oppressed your mother, we cannot punish ourselves for the faults of others, this is unfair to ourselves, understand?"
Lucas did not speak, apparently he understood and did not understand, but stubbornly believed that what Lexie said was all true.
Ernie ate a glutinous cake while looking at the two, suddenly shouting, "Isn't Lucas' mother also Miss? You are not ... Brother?"
Her exaggerated expression made Lexie laugh, "Yes, Lucas is not my younger brother, but I treat him like my own sister, and again you are the same, as long as you want, you can call me big brother, you can call me big brother, I will also treat you like my own sister."
"Sir ..." Ernie's eyes suddenly water, but in an instant, she restrained her head, and shook her head, "No way, there's a slave, you can't let the lady be my sister."
After she finished speaking, Ernie hugged the glutinous cake, turned around and ran away.
Lexie looked at Ernie's running figure, frowning involuntarily, even though Ernie's age was small but the feeling she gave him was already beyond his age, Ernie was right, just a little girl growing up in a small village?
The next morning the door to Lexie's house came back on tap, after Ernie put breakfast on the table she then went to open the door, a boy lunged in, this boy was no one else, no one else, except the son of the next door neighbor.
Lexie had just sat down with Lucas preparing to eat, the boy immediately approached, in going before Lucas, took out a candy bar in his pocket and placed it in front of Lucas, "My name is Rendi, can you go with me to watch the dragon boat game? If you accompany me I'll give you candy."
This attitude of Lucas made Rendi feel sad, he walked forward but also a little unwilling, Lexie was already unable to see him, "Lucas, let's go watch the dragon boat game, let's go watch the dragon boat game, I've never seen it either, so many people will be more crowded, Ernie do you want to go?"
When Ernie heard him she immediately nodded, "Yes!"
Rendi was also wide-eyed, looking at Lexie, her smile wider than her mother's.
Lucas finally nodded.
Lexie laughed, finally called Rendi for breakfast together, and after breakfast she would take the three children out, when she came out the door she then realized, she was only 16 or 17 years old here, Ernie was 13 or 14 years old, Rendi and Lucas were 6 years old, if they came out, looking like a bunch of disobedient little kids who were out on the streets.
There is a great river in the city of Phoenix, named the farewell river, according to legend, in the early days of the construction of the state of Nanyue, the Emperor had previously met a woman who was very much loved in his life, only unfortunately since the woman had received the Emperor's affection, she had already died of illness, the previous Emperor was so sad and grieved, each time longing for her by the river, but, the woman had died, parting unwillingly, so the Emperor named this river as the farewell river.
There were so many teahouses by the river, Lexie brought the three children into one of the teahouses, choosing the second floor by the window, and then took the three children to one of them, from this it just so happened to be able to see the situation of the dragon boat match.
The storyteller at the teahouse, just told the story of this Emperor, Lexie could not help but sneer, when entering the palace like entering the sea? Can an ordinary woman enter the palace and live happily? It was just his outer appearance.
"Guard, want to be on the second floor close to the window." A rude voice sounded from the front door of the teahouse.
The teahouse keeper who was tweaking his shampoo, looked up to see 2 men, who were dressed in luxury immediately smiled, "Hey, really sorry the table in the position by the window was completely gone, if you don't mind, do you want a table in the hall?"
"We'll raise the price!" The man who spoke again opened his mouth, making the tavern keeper difficult.
The shopkeeper was thinking about how to deal with these two guests, then heard the other man say: "No need, my friend is here, I'll sit with him." He said he went straight to the second floor.
Lexie was holding a cup of tea, watching Dexter and Erik walking up to her from downstairs and Lexie got up and saluted.
"Miss Lexie, also came to see the ship match?" It wasn't Dexter who spoke first, it was Erik.
Lexie nodded, she appreciated the person as friendly as Erik.
"Miss Lexie, there's no table by the window, if I may, can we sit with you?" Dexter said as he clenched his finger.
"Mr Dexter is my savior, it's an honor, as long as Mr. Dexter doesn't mind, it doesn't matter."
Lexie gestured in favor, Dexter elegantly sat in front of her and said: "Then I thank Miss Lexie first."
"Oh yes, how could Mr Dexter be interested in seeing this ship match?" Lexie personally poured tea for Dexter, asking casually.
Ever since I saw Lexie, the smile on Dexter's face didn't fade, "I can't hide, the team that played today had a team from the prime minister, so of course I have to see it."
