Extra five
Although he has not come back to the summer solstice in these years, Xiao Shu'er has come back twice. Because he left home at a young age and followed Xia Zhi and Li Xia, whether it was Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er, or Xia Xiucai and Tian's, everyone couldn't help but feel a little more kind when they saw Xiao Shu'er.
Seeing Xiao Shu'er talking to Xia Zhi, Xia Qiao came over and hugged Xiao Shu'er's shoulder.
"It seems to be taller than the last time I saw it. Xia Qiao said.
Xiao Shu'er smiled: "Brother, I'm taller than you." ”
"yes. Xia Qiao nodded with emotion, "Grown up." ”
Xia Qiao looked at Xiao Shu'er's gaze and was very pleased. In fact, the Xia family didn't expect that Xiao Shu'er would become what it is today.
"Sixteen will teach. Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er both said.
As they talked, someone from the backyard told them that they were coming from July and her son-in-law Wu Chunlin.
Xia Zhi handed over several children to Sun Lan'er and the nurses to take care of, and she herself and Li Xia, Xia Qiao, Xiao Shu'er, and Xiao Shu's daughter-in-law went to the backyard.
July and Wu Chunlin greeted them. July's face was a little sneering, and Wu Chunlin saluted Xia Zhi and Li Xia very respectfully.
Xiao Shu'er had seen Wu Chunlin, so she stepped forward and called the fifth brother-in-law with a smile.
Everyone greeted each other and went to the backyard to sit down.
Old Man Xia rested for a long time just now, and he will be very energetic again. Everyone spoke, and the summer solstice looked at July and Wu Chunlin.
Perhaps because of the fortune, the appearance of July has changed a little. The white and chubby July looks like a good life. Wu Chunlin is polite and polite, not like a farmer, but like a scholar.
Wu Chunlin also read, so he concentrated on farming without taking the children's examination several times. With Li Xia and Xia Zhi present, Wu Chunlin looked a little restrained. But everyone chatted about homely things, and Wu Chunlin spoke very thoughtfully and politely.
This Wu Chunlin is indeed much stronger than July.
July was still not good at talking as before, and she was silent for a while before she spoke to Xia Solstice dryly.
"Fourth sister, you haven't been back for many years. ”
Xia Zhi smiled: "Yes." The big guys have changed a lot. How's your day in July?"
"That's it. July said that he seemed not very satisfied with his current life.
Xia Zhi gave Li Xia a look, and then came out of the East House. Men have men's topics, and women have their own topics.
July also came to the West House, and Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia San took Xia Lin's daughter-in-law Zhang Luo tea and snacks.
The granddaughters of the Xia family are now guests. When they come back to their parents' homes, they don't have to do that.
July didn't ask much about the cold temperature of the summer solstice, she started to eat and drink after she sat down, and naturally asked Xia Lin's daughter-in-law to cook brown sugar water poached eggs for her.
"Cook me old, I'm not like the rest of them like to eat soft-hearted. ”
Xia Lin's daughter-in-law glanced at everyone quickly, and agreed to go out.
"July's temper is still the same as when he was a child. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
July can't hear the praise and disapproval of the summer solstice. Her world obviously revolves around herself. Because Xia Zhi asked her how she was doing just now, she opened the conversation in July.
“…… To be honest, you can only turn around by talking about it. Listen to his father and mother for everything, and there is no rigidity. What can't you do? ”
Mrs. Xia couldn't listen to it.
"July, it's not the milk that said you. Milk is also for your good. You can do as much as you need to do, and don't support your son-in-law in everything. He's a big man, and he can't be a pot turner. Your son-in-law is filial, but he doesn't treat you badly. Your parents-in-law are good to you. ”
July snorted: "Anyway, you're all towards him." ”
"Grandma said that about you, isn't it for your own good. Layue was unhappy, "Sister July, this means that the old Wu family is honest, and if you change someone's family, people may not be able to tolerate you." ”
"Who dares to let me go. I won't let him go. July said this, but his tone softened. She was a little afraid of the moon.
"It's just a farmer, and he doesn't have any interest. I don't give in!" said July in a low voice.
Even if Wu Chunlin is a farmer, isn't July also a farmer. What kind of misunderstanding does July have about her identity?!
Xia Solstice wasn't going to say anything. But she thought about it, and still asked July: "July, aren't you the farmer's daughter?"
July was a little stunned: "Why am I the daughter of the farmer?"
"You're not the farmer's daughter. "The summer solstice is faint.
July stared at the summer solstice, and slowly his face changed.
Xia Zhi no longer cares about July, and only talks to Mrs. Xia and everyone. The crowd ignored July either.
July sat there in a daze, his face changing color. After a while, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Fourth sister, I'm your sister. With you, how can I, how can I be a farmer? And my uncle, my uncle, my brother Daqiao, I heard that Xiao Shu'er is an official. ”
It's rare that July can say such soft words.
It seems that the appearance of July is indeed powerful. And being able to change faces so quickly, July also learned a lot of survival skills.
"But you're still you. Xia Zhi said unceremoniously that she had never liked that she was nothing, but she was a bully.
July's face was gray, and everyone just didn't see it, and they all just talked to themselves. At this time, Xia Lin's daughter-in-law brought a tray with several bowls of poached eggs. Xia Lin's daughter-in-law is not very good-looking, but she obviously knows it in her heart and is very good at it.
Xia Lin's daughter-in-law brought the poached eggs to the summer solstice first, and then to July in order.
July didn't seem to be able to sit still on the kang, so she got up from the edge of the kang and took the poached egg: "...... Xiaolinzi's daughter-in-law is quite capable...... "It seems that I don't know what to say."
After that, July will not be as arrogant as before.
Layue said behind her back: "There is no one in July's eyes, so my sister still has to clean her up." ”
In the evening, Second Uncle Xia and his party really arrived.
Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia came with the old lady of the Zhang family. They each sat in a big car, and when they were at the gate, Second Uncle Xia almost collided with the old lady of the Zhang family, because he rushed to enter the door before the old lady of the Zhang family.
A trace of disgust quickly flashed on the face of the old lady of the Zhang family. She didn't rob Second Uncle Xia, but gave way to the side, and stopped to let Second Uncle Xia enter the door.
At this time, Xia Zhi happened to be standing in the outhouse, and saw this scene clearly.
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia also saw it. Old Man Xia frowned, looking at Second Uncle Xia from afar, his eyes were very hateful.
Second Uncle Xia didn't seem to be aware of this. He walked over quickly and greeted Xia Zhi, Li Xia, Little Black Fish, Xiao Shu'er and others very affectionately.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile, because Second Uncle Xia's attitude was a little awkward. Second Uncle Xia not only wanted to show kindness, but also wanted to hold the shelf. Although they are juniors on the summer solstice, when they return to the Xia family, there is really no one to fight with them. Second Uncle Xia's shelf is actually not big, and the result is that the performance is nondescript.
Old Man Xia's face was a little tangled, and in the end, he finally saved his face for Second Uncle Xia in front of everyone, and did not directly scold him. Old Man Xia only said to Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia: "The in-laws are here, you are in a panic, and you have no courtesy, what do you look like." ”
The old lady of the Zhang family happened to come close at this time and heard the words of the old man Xia.
Everyone greeted each other, and the old lady of the Zhang family did not dare to accept the gifts of Xia Zhi and Li Xia, so she only turned sideways and returned the gifts. When talking to Little Black Fish, she also hurriedly asked Zhang Fang and May to kowtow to Little Black Fish.
No matter what happened inside, it was the etiquette in front of this person, and Second Uncle Xia and they lost a lot to the old lady of the Zhang family.
Everyone entered the house and sat down, and the old lady of the Zhang family asked a little girl she was leading, that is, the daughter of May and Zhang Fang, to kowtow to the summer solstice.
"This is your aunt, you are not Zhang Luo when you are at home, you want to come to see your aunt. The old lady of the Zhang family said to the little girl.
The little girl kowtowed to Xia Zhi and called Auntie, and then snuggled up to the old lady of the Zhang family, and peeked at Xia Zhi. This is the little girl curious. Xia Zhi smiled secretly, it is estimated that the old lady of the Zhang family told the little girl about herself before.
Xia Solstice also looked at the little girl.
May's girl is very delicate, her facial features are seven or eight points similar to Zhang Fang, and her body has not yet grown, but her waist is thin and her legs are long, and she will definitely be a beautiful girl in the future. The little girl didn't talk much, and she looked very well-behaved when she snuggled up to the old lady of the Zhang family.
People say that the old lady of the Zhang family dotes on this granddaughter very much, but the little girl is obviously taught well. Everyone talked to her, and although she was a little shy, she was very polite, except when May called her.
Even in the Xia family, even in front of so many people, the little girl did not hide her coldness and even disgust for May.
When I returned to my parents' house in May, I saw that my family in the house was so powerful, and I felt that I had a backer. She told the old lady of the Zhang family that she wanted to take her daughter out to play.
"It's cold outside. The old lady of the Zhang family said, but did not reject May. She only asked her granddaughter with a pleasant face, "Rong'er, do you want to go out with you~ mother?"
The little girl shook her head again and again, not looking at May: "It's cold outside, I'll accompany the milk." ”
The old lady of the Zhang family smiled. The granddaughter is unwilling, so of course she can't force her to go out with May. The old lady of the Zhang family said to May very tolerantly: "You go out for a walk by yourself, I will take the child with me." ”
Then, the old lady of the Zhang family also said something to everyone, which basically means that May is young and not very patient, and her granddaughter is weak from birth, only she is dedicated to raising her, which is also a piece of compassion for her children and grandchildren. According to the old lady of the Zhang family, she is quite sympathetic to May.
"Mother, you are always reasonable. "May has a thorn in her words. After all, it's a day like today, the summer solstice and the little black fish are all from afar, and May is full of grievances, and they don't dare to make trouble in front of everyone.
Of course, May may have done this because she knew that even if she made a fuss, she wouldn't be able to take advantage of it.
After all these years, May is actually still a little subdued by the old lady of the Zhang family.
The old lady of the Zhang family explained the reason for their late arrival.
"The old man doesn't accept gifts for his birthday, and he doesn't know when he does it. I don't go out of the door, or the day I was told in May. It turned out that the main day was tomorrow, so I arranged for the two of them to come over early this morning. I didn't want my in-laws to go today, saying that the old man was not very comfortable, and the day was changed to tomorrow. I can't believe this! Later, it was the housekeeper who reminded me that if he wanted to change the day, he should have changed it a long time ago, and the two of them were really out of reason! My woman's insight, even if it really changed the day, we came one day earlier, and that was our sincerity. ”
Second Uncle Xia had already ducked out, and Old Man Xia's face turned red.
But Old Man Xia can't make up this lie for Second Uncle Xia.
“…… At such an age, there is no shape. You also know him, Mrs. in-laws, don't worry about him. Hey, my old face is dull. When Old Man Xia said this, he was also angry. He and this second son really borrowed a lot of "good light".
The old lady of the Zhang family is so powerful, she has to be unforgiving. But in front of Old Man Xia, she was not like this, and when she broke the words, she stopped mentioning it.
And May had the opportunity to leave in front of the old lady of the Zhang family, and immediately poured bitter water with Xia Zhi, Xiaoshu's daughter-in-law, and Crescent Moon.
May didn't mention the late arrival, only said how the old lady of the Zhang family had disciplined her over the years, treated her harshly, and made her angry, and said that the old lady of the Zhang family hated her daughter.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. May originally wanted to expand her own problems to the problems of ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and win the resonance and sympathy of Xia Zhi and others, but she reacted halfway through.
She herself really has a problem with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Xia Solstice, Crescent Moon, Xiaoshu's daughter-in-law, Layue, and even Xia Lin's daughter-in-law do not have such a problem.
Xia Zhi, Xiaoshu's daughter-in-law, Tian Mi'er, and Layue don't live with their mother-in-law, how carefree. The mother-in-law of the crescent moon treats the crescent moon like a mother. Aunt Xia is the most honest person, and she has never blushed with her daughter-in-law.
There is also Sun Lan'er, who was also under the jurisdiction of the Tian family in the early years, but Xia Zhi faced Sun Lan'er and never let Sun Lan'er suffer. And the Tian family has also changed a lot in recent years. Even the Tian family is not as powerful as the old lady of the Zhang family, so she doesn't want to see her daughter-in-law.
Even if the other sisters are unsatisfactory, they are not like her mother-in-law.
May pondered, and couldn't help but feel sad.
"My life is so miserable. ”
Aunt Xia happened to come in, so she stinged May and asked May not to cry. "You have another one in your belly, and this time you have to take care of the baby. ”
When May heard this, she really restrained her sorrow, and her face showed a look of hope.
It turned out that May was pregnant again.
"This baby is definitely a son. Aunt Xia said very firmly.
Their plan is still to value the mother over the child. If he gives birth to a son, he will have to keep it tightly in his hands this time, so that he can suppress the old lady of the Zhang family in turn and become the head of the Zhang family.
Second Uncle Xia did have something to do when they went to May's house, because May secretly sent a letter to them saying that she was pregnant~ pregnant.
