Chapter 256: Watermelon

Saying this, Tian had already kicked Sun Wang out of the house in a hurry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Sun Wang seemed to be very unwilling, and wanted to go back and say something to Tian, but when she saw Xia Zhi, she immediately didn't want to say anything.

"Sixteen is back?" Sun Wang greeted Xia Zhi with a smile on his face, and glanced behind Xia Zhi.

Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er were followed behind Xia Zhi, but there was only one Xia Zhi, and Sun Wang's family didn't dare to stay for a long time. She said hello to Xia Zhi and hurriedly left.

Tian was a little proud: "Thanks to you coming back, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get rid of her." I've been complaining to me for a long time, endlessly, and it's a headache to listen to!"

"What is she complaining about you? Aren't you two very good?" Xia Zhi said casually.

"Hey. Tian laughed, and regardless of Xia Zhi's desire to go back to the West House to rest, he pulled Xia Zhi to the East House and chatted with Xia Solstice.

It turned out that Sun Wang's family came to look for Tian very early in the morning.

"It was said that the shopkeeper Liu found her, complained to her, blamed her for not having time to be clear, and coaxed him to buy a big girl. Or kill If he knew that the eldest girl's family was like that, he would not buy anything. She blamed me, saying that I was hiding it from her and not making it clear to her. ”

"I didn't tell her about it. Tian's voice became higher and higher, as if he wanted to let Sun Wang next door hear it. "As soon as the eldest girl came, I told her everything, and I didn't hide it from her at all. What else did she say, she knew that the big girl would spend money, but she didn't know that after the decision, the big girl's grandmother would come to raid the house!"

"I didn't hide it from her, she hid it from Shopkeeper Liu, and it was also for herself. She promised to give Lanzi to Shopkeeper Liu, but people scolded her, she didn't dare Lanzi, and the eldest girl even relieved her. She didn't do this in vain, two silver hairpins, that's also worth a few taels of silver, or why give it to her......"

Listening to Tian's tone, it seems that he is worried about the hairpin.

After talking about the quarrel with Sun Wang's family, Tian lowered his voice slightly and said to Xia Zhi: "When I don't know why she came? Phew, she doesn't look at who I am!"

"Okay, I know, mother, you're amazing, okay. "Summer Solstice is perfunctory without much interest.

"You kid!" Tian was originally gossiping with Xia Zhi, but Xia Zhi was not interested, and she also felt bored. "I think you're good to everyone, but you don't have a good face for me. I'm not you~ Mother, I'm your enemy!"

"Mother, I'm tired. Xia Solstice stood up.

"Wait. Tian hurriedly called Xia Zhi, "Have you met the eldest girl and the second girl in a hurry, do you have any letter on your grandmother's side, what is your daughter-in-law like Dabao~ brother." ”

Whether it is the eldest girl or the Tian family, they are very concerned about their mother's affairs.

"I saw them. They didn't hear any letters. Xia Zhi replied and went back to Westinghouse.

Tian frowned slightly: "Why don't you have any faith at all? Don't go wrong again." Tian's mood was complicated, but there was no one to tell. Old man Tian and Tian Wang's family found the eldest girl, but they didn't look for her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief and a little disappointed.

If there is any letter in the future, I am afraid that I will not bring her here, but directly to the eldest girl, and then it will be her turn.

Xia Zhi took a comfortable nap, and when he woke up, he heard the little black fish talking in the yard. Xia Zhi slowly sat up and smiled in his heart. Little Black Fish, this little guy, is really born with energy.

When the summer solstice came to the front yard, he saw Li Xia, Xiao Heiyu'er, Sun Lan'er, Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er all sitting next to the well platform. There was a large wooden basin in front of Sun Lan'er, and she was wringing out the washed clothes and putting them on the clothesline to dry.

Xia Zhi immediately recognized that it was the clothes he had just taken off before taking a nap.

Sun Lan'er's life at home is relaxed, and when she has time, she will come over to find work to do by herself, and she can't wait to let Xia Solstice do anything.

Seeing that the summer solstice came out, everyone greeted her with a smile.

"Sixteen, have you woken up?" the little black fish smiled and came over to take her hand, "Shall we go down to the ground to play?"

"Okay. Xia Zhi responded while asking Xia Qiao, "Brother, where is our mother?"

“…… I went to Lao Du's house. Xia Qiao replied.

Now that the Tian family and the Sun Wang family have a falling out, her friends in the entire Daxingzhuang are left with the daughter-in-law of the Lao Du family alone. Xia Zhi estimated that Tian was looking for the daughter-in-law of the old Du family to complain.

The little black fish was urging beside her, and Li Xia also looked at her with a smile. Xia Zhi washed his face, put on a straw hat, and carried a basket casually, and went to the ground with Li Xia and Little Black Fish. Daqing also happily followed.

"Uncle, where are we going?" Walking to the field, Xia Solstice found that the little black fish seemed to have a destination in mind.

"Hey, hey. The little black fish smiled sneakily, he glanced at both sides, and saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he said to Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, let's go steal the watermelon of the old black family and eat it." ”

Xia Zhi had an epiphany, no wonder the little black fish was so impatient, it turned out that he wanted to eat watermelon.

Did Li Xia know about this matter in advance?

Xia Zhi looked at Li Xia.

Li Xia smiled, very dark.

Li Xia must have known about it in advance.

Since it is stealing watermelons, it is natural to have the appearance of stealing. Xiao Heiyuer is a veteran, he took Xia Zhi and Li Xia to pick a path where no one was around, and he brought the two of them to a big ~ melon field next to him.

Daqing also seems to be familiar with this road, and understands what the little master is doing here. When the dog reached the melon field, he didn't say a word.

When they arrived next to the melon field, the little black fish asked Li Xia and Xia Zhi to squat, disgusted that they were tall and had big goals, and they could be seen from a long distance.

Xia Zhi was embarrassed, she glanced at Li Xia, Li Xia was very comfortable. The two exchanged glances, and squatted down in the grass on the ground as the little black fish instructed.

Daqing didn't need to be instructed, so he obediently lay beside Xia Zhi.

"Sixteen, Li Xia, you two are waiting here, I'll pick melons. The little black fish whispered, and it slipped into the melon field like a small fish swimming into the sea.

"Uncle is the best at picking melons. Xia Zhi whispered to Li Xia.

"Well, Uncle told me. Li Xia nodded.

"Uncle said that he wanted to steal melons, so don't you persuade him?" Xia Zhi complained to Li Xia.

"I don't think it's the first time for my uncle. Then since our grandfather and grandmother don't say anything, it must be nothing. Li Xia said with a smile.

"You can figure it out. Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia, and took advantage of the time when the little black fish was picking melons, and talked to Li Xia about Lao Hei and his melon field.

Lao Hei is also surnamed Xia, but he is not of the same clan as Xia Zhi's family. He is a relatively special existence in Daxingzhuang. Lao Hei is alone, has a son, but is not in Beizhen Mansion, it is said that he is on an errand somewhere in the south, and his family is also settled there, and he is doing well.

"I give money to Lao Hei every few months. He also said that he would let Lao Hei go with him, and Lao Hei went once, and came back after less than a month, and then said that he would not go anywhere, and would live alone. ”

The old black man has a hard body, he doesn't worry about eating and drinking, and he doesn't grow crops, so he plants two or three acres of watermelons every year.

This season, Lao Hei has already sold a crop of watermelons.

"Did we meet him when we were in the market?" asked Li Xia.

"Yes. Xia Zhi nodded, "He is not short of money, and selling watermelons is just trying to have something to do." It's nothing that sells or doesn't sell. But his watermelons are very good to sell. ”

Lao Hei's melon field is a high-quality sandy land, and he chooses good seeds, from seedlings to seedlings are very careful, so the watermelons planted are not only large, but also less sweet and sweet.

"Every time the watermelon comes down, he doesn't live at home, he just builds a shack here, looks at the watermelon, and prevents people from stealing it. Xia Zhi pointed to the ground not far away, there was indeed a simple shack there, similar to the one built by the old man of the Chen family in the mountains, but it was not high above the ground.

Hearing this, Li Xia immediately became alert, and a pair of eyes looked straight at the shack.

"Don't worry, Lao Hei is going to sell melons in the market today. Every time he came back from selling melons, he had to drink some wine, and then the amount of wine was still shallow, and he didn't wake up without sleeping for two hours. ”

It was precisely because the little black fish had mastered this habit of Lao Hei that he dared to take them to steal melons at this time.

"It's a bit too risky. Li Xia was still looking in the direction of the shack, as if he was thinking about what he should do if he was really discovered by Lao Hei for a while.

"Hah!" Xia Zhi chuckled, "This is also the fun of stealing melons." ”

This time, Li Xia is embarrassed.

"Didn't you say it too, my grandfather and my grandmother must know, but they didn't stop it, there must be a reason. Don't look at Lao Hei to look at the melon very strictly, if it is really a child from the village who comes to steal a melon, he can't do anything. If we don't come, he will have to deliver melons to my house. Uncle loves this tune......"

"Well, I see. Li Xia is still embarrassed.

Xia Zhi smiled: "Li Xia, don't worry." Someone else may have something to do, but Uncle must be fine. When Lao Hei sees him, he will pretend not to see him. Old black is very rare, my uncle. ”

"Does the uncle know?" asked Li Xia.

"Of course I don't know. Xia Zhi was busy and instructed Li Xia, "You are not allowed to tell your uncle." Otherwise, the uncle will have less fun in the future. ”

"Understood, I'm definitely not going to say it. Li Xia promised very kindly.

This is the work, the little black fish has already slipped back with a melon leaf on his head and a big watermelon.

"It's really treading snow without a trace, landing silently, flying on the grass, floating on the water......" Li Xia muttered.

"Don't talk nonsense. "Xia Zhi turned Li Xia around.

Li Xia immediately shut up.

The little black fish was red-faced, and I didn't know if it was sunburned or happy. He squatted in front of Xia Zhi and Li Xia with a watermelon, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes.

"The best watermelon in the old black field, watermelon king!" the little black fish showed off.

Li Xia and Xia Zhi both showed expressions of admiration.

The little black fish was very satisfied, so he handed the watermelon to Li Xia: "Li Xia, open the melon." ”

Li Xia didn't expect that the little black fish stealing melons would arrange this task for him. But look at the little black fish, and then look at the summer solstice, he has to do this job.

Li Xia held the watermelon in one hand, and stood up into a palm knife with the other. Just when Xia Zhi and the little black fish were both wide-eyed, about to see how Li Xia opened the melon with his bare hands, Li Xia put that hand into his arms, and then took out a small dagger inlaid with gems.

"Thanks to all the stuff I bring. Li Xia smiled and opened the watermelon with a knife, "Ha, it's sandy!"

"That's for sure. "The little black fish has a small chest and looks very proud.

Leaves were spread on the ground, and Li Xia neatly cut the watermelon into several pieces. Then the three of them took a piece and ate it happily. The little black fish also gave Da Qing a piece.

Daqing is a dog that eats watermelon, and he can spit out seeds.

Li Xia was amazed.

"We're okay, every day there are surprises. Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia's stupid appearance and said with a low smile.

"Uh-huh. Li Xia nodded, but didn't speak, because he was just gnawing on the watermelon. "The watermelon that my uncle picked is so delicious. ”

"Li Xia, you like to eat, I'll pick another one later. The little black fish immediately said, "I'm optimistic about it, and there is a big one, which must also be a sand pulp." ”

The head of the melon field is actually not far from Daxingzhuang on the way to Linshui Town.

Summer Solstice first heard the sound of a carriage, and then the carriage seemed to stop. After a while, I saw a young man in a fancy dress walking through the tall grass.

When the young man saw the three people on the summer solstice, he was immediately stunned.

"Tian Kuo/Melon?" Li Xia and Xia Zhi also recognized the person, who turned out to be Li Xia's cousin Tian Kuo.

Tian Kuo raised his hand and was about to call Li Xia.

Li Xia reacted quickly, he glanced in the direction of the shack in the melon field, and immediately made a silent gesture to Tian Kuo.

The two cousins have grown up together since childhood, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and they can understand each other's meaning without talking or gesticulating. Although Tian Kuo didn't know why, when he saw Li Xia's cautious appearance, he immediately stopped talking. He was still bent on his waist and ran over in small steps.

Seeing Tian Kuo's action, Xia Zhi understood something.

These two brothers should have been naughty.

"Phoenix, what are you doing, ha, I guessed, you must have come to find Sixteen......" As soon as they met, Tian Kuo seemed to have a lot to say to Li Xia. But he lowered his voice very respectfully.

"Quietly. Even so, Li Xia still reminded Tian Kuo, and he didn't answer Tian Kuo's words, but asked Tian Kuo, "Why are you here?

"It's been almost two months since you've been in the countryside, and you don't know how to go back. Bingbing is coming, so I persuaded him. I said I'll come and see you for her, see what you're doing, and bring you back if there's nothing to do......"

Hearing that Tian Kuo came alone, Li Xia immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The little black fish's big eyes narrowed, and then he glanced at Tian Kuo. The little black fish's eyes were black and bright, Tian Kuo didn't care much, but Xia Zhi pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything.
