Chapter 242: A Day in the Mountains (2)
On the other side of the mountain, there are thousands of blue waves, but it is a large ~ lake. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝiqugeใ infoThis is the first time I have seen such a large surface of water since I arrived here on the summer solstice.
"It's beautiful. Xia Zhi couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Xia was standing by Xia Zhi's side. The breeze had eaten the tips of their hair and the corners of their clothes, and at this moment, Li Xia suddenly felt that the fairyland on earth was nothing more than that. "It's beautiful. Li Xia muttered.
At this time, Layue and Xiao Xialin also ran over. "yes, yes, this place is beautiful. The sister and brother were excited, and there was some meaning of offering treasures. It was they who strongly invited Xia Zhi and Li Xia to come here, Xia Zhi and Li Xia praised this place for a beautiful appearance, liked this place, and they both felt honored.
"There must be a lot of fish in this lake. The little black fish stood on the other side of the summer solstice, and was also stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him. However, his focus is obviously different from that of Xia Zhi and Li Xia.
Xia Solstice was immersed in the beautiful scenery that suddenly appeared, and was suddenly pulled back to reality by the words of the little black fish. She glanced at the vast surface of the water again, then nodded, agreeing with the little black fish's words: "There must be a lot of fish, and they should be big fish." โ
"It's fish. Aunt Xia also came over, "I heard that someone caught a big fish of forty or fifty catties." In autumn, there are more fish here. โ
Xia Zhi asked Aunt Xia San what the names of the mountains and lakes were.
Aunt Xia shook her head with a smile and said that neither the mountain nor the lake had a name.
Such a beautiful scenery has no name. Xia Zhi first wondered, and then came to his senses. This era was different from the era in which she had traveled before. At this time, nature has not been overexploited by humans, and beautiful scenery like this should be everywhere.
Just look at other people's attitudes. Although they were happy and admired the scenery in front of them, they did not have the shocking feeling that she had.
Thinking of this truth, Xia Zhi smiled with relief.
Because of the requirements of the summer solstice, everyone stayed on the hillside for a while. Because of the pine trees planted all over the mountain, it is not hot at all on the mountain, and it is very pleasant to enjoy the shade here, listen to the pine waves, and see the lake scenery below the mountain.
After the rest, everyone didn't get into the carriage, but Uncle Xia San drove the carriage in front, and they followed them down the hill. After descending the hill, we arrived at the lake. It's still Xia Zhi and Li Xiaqiang who stop it, otherwise the little black fish will jump into the lake to play in the water.
"Uncle, let's go to Layue's house first, and then come back to play. It is estimated that Layue's family is waiting for our big guy. "The summer solstice persuades the little black fish.
The little black fish was reluctant, but in the end he reluctantly sat in the car.
Walking along the lake, there is a dirt road leading to Chentun. The lake was flanked by farmland, and they passed by two small stone bridges, both built over a stream that led to the big lake. In the distance, there are hills of all sizes, and behind these hills are lush mountains.
According to Li Xia, it is the largest mountain range in Pak Chin Province. Although Li Xia had never been to this place in person, he was familiar with the geography of Beizhen Mansion. Aunt Xia also confirmed Li Xia's statement, and also said that through those mountains farther away, people lived who were different from them. It is called the borderland, and people rarely farm, and most of them graze cattle and sheep for a living.
"Did Brother Yuelai just go there with his father to buy sheep?" asked Xiao Xia Lin in a milky voice.
I haven't seen Qian Yue come for a while, and Xiao Xialin said that he misses it a lot.
Aunt Xia San nodded, Qian Yuelai didn't go to Daxingzhuang these days, and she didn't appear at the big market in Linshui Town, she did follow the old man of the Qian family to sell cattle and sheep outside.
After passing a shallow stream without a bridge, there is Chentun in front.
There are children playing by the stream, and among them, there is one who calls Aunt Xia San to be an aunt, which should be a child in the Chen family. After the child called Aunt Xia and Uncle Xia San, he rushed towards the village, which should have sent a letter to the old man of the Chen family.
Sure enough, after their cart entered the entrance of the village, they saw the old man of the Chen family with the uncle of the Chen family, the second uncle of the Chen family and other people coming out.
If it's just the girl and the aunt who bring the children to visit the door, there is no need for this pomp and circumstance. It seems that the child who delivered the letter is very clever, and he should have said that there were other people coming with him.
When the two sides met, Xia Zhi hurriedly got out of the car and stepped forward to greet the old man of the Chen family and the two uncles of the Chen family.
"We're here to bother the old man. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
"What are these words, please don't even come. Since you are here, stay here for a few more days and have a good time, just like Layue and Xiaolinzi, don't see outside. โ
Of course, the old man of the Chen family, the little black fish, recognized it, but Li Xia was the only one who was born.
"This is Li Xia. Xia Zhi introduced that Li Xia was a student of Wenshan Academy in Fucheng, because he had just passed the college examination, so he came to the countryside to rest and relax, and now he lives in Xia's house.
"My best friend. The little black fish also added.
Not to mention that Li Xia is a guest of the Xia family, or a friend of Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer, just because Li Xia is a talent who has just passed the college examination, the old man of the Chen family treats him as a distinguished guest.
"Please, please. When the nobles came, our family followed suit. Not to mention, our old Chen family has been in the house for so many years, and it is the first time that a talented person has come to the door. "The old man of the Chen family entertained Li Xia with the most respectful and warm courtesy.
Speaking of which, Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San decided to get married, and both sides went through each other's doors. But Xia Xiucai, who is the eldest brother of Uncle Xia, has never been to Chentun.
At that time, Xia Xiucai had already become close to the Tian family, and he listened to the Tian family in many things. It is said that the old man Xia wanted Xia Xiucai to come forward, but he was stopped by Tian's secret tripper.
The Chen family is a wealthy family in Chentun, and in the center of Tunzi, a row of large tiled houses is very conspicuous. But after all, it is a mountainous area, and there are few places, so the front and back yards are not as big as the Xia family, and there is no place to grow vegetables at all.
The Chen family's vegetable garden is in front, separated by a path. There is a well next to the vegetable garden, which belongs to the Chen family, and it is said that several families in the vicinity also eat the water from this well.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the front yard of the Chen family, and more people came out of the yard, which was lively and lively. The eldest aunt and second aunt of the Chen family, as well as the eldest brother of the Chen family and the second brother of the Chen family, Xia Zhi, have all met, and the old man of the Chen family introduced them to the old lady of the Chen family, as well as two younger boys of the Chen family, and there is also a little girl of eight ~ nine years old, who is the cousin of Layue and the only girl in the Chen family now.
The old lady of the Chen family is of medium height, with white and pure eyebrows and kind eyes, and she has few words. The two little boys were naughty and chased after Xiao Shu'er, but the little girl of the Chen family was very quiet, and she knew that she was very favored by looking at her dress and her delicate appearance leaning on the old lady of the Chen family.
The Chen family values men but not women, and many families in Beizhen Mansion are like this. Especially after living a good life, and giving birth to a large group of stinky boys, there is finally a fragrant and delicate little girl, which can be spoiled to the sky.
Everyone entered the house, and Xia Zhi, Li Xia and Xiao Heiyuer were let to the kang. Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia hurriedly took out the gift they brought, a bag of ground wheat noodles, which was Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San's filial piety to the old man of the Chen family and the old lady of the Chen family, and they were also grateful for the love of this big family for helping to harvest the wheat.
In addition, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia also bought a knife of meat, a roast chicken and two packets of trough cakes.
When the old lady of the Chen family saw it, she didn't say anything, but she looked at Aunt Xia twice. She knew that although this girl's family was not poor, it was not the kind of family that was particularly wealthy. In the past, unless it was the New Year's holiday, Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San would not bring so many gifts every time they came.
Aunt Xia San smiled at the old lady of the Chen family, and said something later.
Because Xia Zhi and the little black fish came, they also gave the old man of the Chen family a pack of tobacco leaves and a fish in the name of the old man Xia. Li Xia prepared another gift, but it was a box of tea and a ham. When this ham was still in the market, the shopkeeper Li gave it to Li Xia, saying that it was an authentic Jinhua ham.
They brought so many gifts, and the old man of the Chen family was very upset, saying that if the New Year was not over, the relatives could come to see their old couple, that was the most joyful thing, and they should not send these things, it was too polite and too foreign.
Xia Zhi said that it was nothing: "My father also said, you must not be happy for us to bring these things." But these things, except for the ones that my third uncle and three aunts bought with filial piety to you, should be shared, right, the others are all our own things, and you can't dislike them. โ
As soon as Xia Zhi said this, the old man of the Chen family was happy in his heart, and he couldn't say anything if he refused.
The gift given by Li Xia is obviously the most precious and rare, the old man of the Chen family said some kind words again, Li Xia replied very appropriately, in a few words, both of them felt that the other party was a bright person, and they were very close to each other.
Because it was already noon, the old lady of the Chen family said a few words, and then took her daughters-in-law to the stove to arrange food. Aunt Xia San also followed, and she had to help the old lady of the Chen family arrange the gifts that everyone brought over.
In the stove room, the old lady of the Chen family spoke more directly to Aunt Xia San.
"Why did you send a whole bag of wheat noodles? It's too much, you don't have any other source, just rely on those ten acres of land, and the whole family has to eat, drink, and chew from this. Then, the old lady of the Chen family also said to Aunt Xia San, "The wheat noodles will be sent, but they are produced in their own fields, and there is nothing to do with what you are buying these things for, it's not that there is nothing at home." โ
The old lady of the Chen family is more distressed about her daughter, and she is especially afraid that her daughter will spend money on herself. During the New Year's holiday, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San sent some gifts, and she would press the New Year's money with Layue and Xiao Xialin, which could be regarded as a disguised subsidy for her daughter.
"Mother," Aunt Xia San knew that her mother was distressed that she had spent money, so she explained, "This is my father-in-law's master, we have to give less, my father-in-law is unwilling, I am grateful to my father for helping to harvest the wheat." Didn't we collect the wheat for our second master, my father-in-law is in charge, let our second master make up the wheat for us......"
This is a bit long, and the old lady of the Chen family inquired carefully, so she smiled and nodded.
"Your father-in-law is doing this fairly, and the family must have rules and laws. It's also thanks to the little girl Sixteen. โ
"No, it's all thanks to Sixteen. Mother, otherwise you can have the money to buy things...... "Aunt Xia said again about Xia Zhi taking the big guys out of the stall to make money.
"Can you earn that old money in one set?" the old lady of the Chen family was taken aback.
"At first, I couldn't believe it. Aunt Xia San smiled.
The old lady of the Chen family interrogated Aunt Xia San, knowing that the life of her daughter's family was better, and it would be better in the future, so she was in a good mood.
"It's all thanks to the sixteen little girls, you can't forget the good things in the future. The old lady of the Chen family instructed Aunt Xia.
"Hmm. Aunt Xia San smiled and nodded.
Then, the topic turned to Li Xia again. After learning about Li Xia's specific identity and Li Xia's life in the Xia family, not only helping to do chores, but also helping to farm, the old lady of the Chen family looked at Li Xia even more differently.
"This Li Xia Gongzi is too rare!"
"My parents-in-law said he was a perfect person. Aunt Xia said.
"Oh, we're going to have to entertain you. Big fish ~ We have all the meat, but it's not fine, I'm afraid that people won't get used to it. "The old lady of the Chen family is a little worried that her hospitality is not good and she will neglect the distinguished guests.
"Mother, Li Xia Gongzi is easy-going, and he doesn't have anything to choose. Mother, as long as we do our best and have our hearts, Li Xia Gongzi will definitely know. โ
"You're right. The old lady of the Chen family nodded, and took Aunt Xia and her two daughters-in-law to hurriedly open up.
Xia Zhi was talking with the old man of the Chen family in the house, and when she was on the kang, she saw that Xing'er, the little girl of the Chen family, always looked at her secretly. When she looked over, Apricot grinned, very generous and cute.
After a while, Xing'er ran out to play with Layue, and then came back together to watch the summer solstice.
Uncle Xia gradually chatted with the old man of the Chen family about livestock and carts, and Layue told the old man of the Chen family that he wanted to take Xia Zhi and the little black fish out with Xing'er.
Of course, the old man of the Chen family was full of promises. Xia Solstice is a distinguished guest, and at the same time a child. The old man of the Chen family asked Layue and Xing'er to accompany Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyu'er well, and he also asked the eldest brother of the Chen family and the second brother of the Chen family to follow, saying that he wanted to take care of Xia Solstice and Xiao Heiyu'er.
Xia Zhi and the little black fish got down from the kang, and she also brought Li Xia out.
Xia Zhi and the eldest brother of the Chen family and the second brother of the Chen family are already relatively familiar, and they have met the two naughty little brothers of the Chen family, and then Layue introduced Xing'er to her very officially.
Xing'er followed Layue and called Sister Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi saw Xing'er's long round face, and the thick eyebrows and big eyes were very cute, so he pulled out a handkerchief with a brocade from his sleeve~ and gave it to Xing'er.
Xing'er was embarrassed to accept it at first, but she was persuaded by Layue for two sentences, and then happily accepted the veil. Although she was favored at home, she did not have such a delicate and beautiful veil.
Everyone was talking in one place, and soon they all became acquainted.
After lunch, the old man of the Chen family already knew that Xia Zhi, Li Xia and Xiao Heiyuer came here mainly to enjoy the unique scenery in the mountains, so he asked his son to set up two big cars, personally accompany them, and came all the way to the mountains.
