Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia, and casually picked up a piece of nougat, peeled the glutinous rice paper on the outside, and handed it to Li Xia. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Xia immediately smiled and ate it.

"Li Xia, what are you laughing at?" Xia Zhi asked.

"This candy is quite sweet. Li Xia said.

Xia Zhi asked why Li Xia didn't talk just now and kept laughing, but Li Xia replied that the sugar Xia Zhi just gave her was very sweet. Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia whitely. Li Xia was still smiling, as if she was really sweetened by sugar.

"Sixteen, why don't you give me sugar?" Tian Kuo picked up.

"You don't have long hands yourself. Li Xia immediately scolded Tian Kuo.

"Hey......" Tian Kuo raised his eyebrows.

"You two don't make trouble, you're all old people, and you're still like children. Xia Solstice immediately stopped the two of them. There are many people in the house today, and there are many things, and they finally have this quiet and can talk well.

The polite words have been said before, so Xia Zhi asked Mrs. Jiugu when she opened her mouth.

"Jiugu is very good. Li Xia replied, "Jiugu's body is much better than before, and her mood is more cheerful than before." In the past few days since you left Fucheng, every time I saw Jiugu, Jiugu talked about you. ”

"Yes. Tian Kuo took a piece of nougat and ate it, nodding in agreement with Li Xia's words. He also told Xia Zhi, "This time I came with Phoenix, and Jiugu asked me to ask you when you would return to Fucheng." ”

"That's a year later. Xia Zhi smiled, "I plan to go back to Fucheng before the Shangyuan Festival." ”

"That's not just looking at the lights!" Tian Kuo said immediately.

Xia Zhi said to Li Xia: "I plan to take my family to see the lanterns, and I have heard that the lanterns in Fucheng will be lively." ”

"Okay, I'll take you there. Li Xia replied with a smile.

"Li Xia, you came this time, the mountain chief and his wife, didn't you say anything?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia again. It is estimated that Li Shanchang will not say anything, Xia Zhi asked this, mainly because he was worried that Mrs. Li would embarrass Li Xia.

"Whatever you can say, they'll let me bring it to you. Li Xia smiled again, "I won't stay here for a long time, I'll go back tomorrow, and nothing will be delayed." ”

"That's good. Xia Zhi nodded, "Ning Huatang and Dianjiang are fine, right?"

"Of course it's all right. Tian Kuo hurriedly replied, "Phoenix has to go to these two places every day, what can happen, sixteen, what are you worried about." ”

Xia Zhi ignored Tian Kuo, and still looked at Li Xia.

"I go to Ninghuatang every day and watch people clean up. No matter when you go back, it's the same as when you left. Business has been doing well lately on the side of Dian's lips, so you can go back and look at the account book and count the silver. Li Xia carefully told Xia Zhi about the dotted lips and Ning Huatang.

Summer Solstice is very satisfied. "I've been back for a few days, but I've got you to thank Li Xia. ”

"Sixteen, you're still such a stranger to Phoenix. What's troublesome or not, he does what you explain, I don't know how energetic he is. Tian Kuo glanced at Li Xia and Xia Zhi with his eyes.

Xia Zhi looked at Tian Kuo at this time: "At the bottom of this year, it is rare that Young Master Tian Kuo can come." ”

"What's this. Tian Kuo was very happy when he saw that Xia Zhi finally spoke to him again, "I'm busy at home, but it's not my turn yet~ worry about it." ”

"You don't accompany Miss Bing'er either?" Xia Zhi asked with a smile again.

Tian Kuo glanced at Li Xia quickly, and then said, "Bing'er has been in the Phoenix family. I can't accompany her all day, it's the New Year, and Bing'er has to copy a lot of scriptures......"

"Oh. Xia Zhi just casually mentioned He Bing'er, she was actually not interested in this topic, so she immediately changed the topic.

While they were talking, Little Black Fish, Little Shuer, and Tian Laibao came running. The little black fish took Li Xia and Tian Kuo to catch the house finch.

"It's delicious when it's grilled. "House finches are the best in winter.

Although Li Xia and Tian Kuo are much older than Little Black Fish, Little Black Fish regards the two of them as playmates in their hearts.

Tian Kuo looked at Li Xia. Li Xia has never refused any request from the little black fish. Tian Laibao's eyes swept around the faces of Li Xia, Tian Kuo and Xia Zhi, and then he pulled Tian Kuo up with a smile.

"Brother Tian Kuo, it's fun for you to come with us. Tian Laibao shouted to Li Xia while dragging Tian Kuo outside, "Brother Li Xia, hurry up." ”

The little black fish was in a hurry to go out to play, and as soon as Tian Laibao came, he agreed to Li Xia and Tian Kuo. The little black fish and the little tree also went out, and the little black fish went to the door and turned around and called Li Xia, telling Li Xia to hurry up.

Li Xia agreed happily, but the person didn't move.

Everyone left, leaving Li Xia and Xia Zhi to talk in the house.

The two of them tacitly chose to ignore the urging of the little black fish.

There are some words that are inconvenient for Xia Solstice to say in front of Tian Kuo.

“…… I thought things had subsided, but where did the rumors come from? There is something wrong with my second uncle's family. But I know them, they themselves don't have the ability to offend anyone so ruthlessly. These are all back naked, who else is going to hold them?"

Xia Zhi told Li Xia about the rumors about May, July and Guo Yuhuan. These words are also difficult to say in letters, and can only be asked in person.

"Sixteen, don't worry, it's okay now. "Li Xia appeases Xia Zhi," ...... It's not the business of the prison wife. When your second uncle was leading the errand in the dim sum shop in Fucheng and the prison student's house, a few people were squeezed down. It's those villains who hold grudges, and they can't talk nonsense about your second uncle anymore. I've dealt with it, and there won't be any more rumors coming out in the future. ”

As long as it's not the prison wife's wife, then it's not a big deal.

"That's good. Xia Zhi nodded, really grateful to Li Xia in his heart, "This kind of thing, that is, you, I am embarrassed to say it in front of Tian Kuo." Originally, this kind of thing shouldn't have been let you out, Li Xia, you know what I mean......

Li Xia's identity can be said to be extremely clear and expensive, and he should not get involved in such an unseemly thing.

"Who else can you find if you don't look for me, you can find me. …… It's just a small thing, and you don't have to pay too much attention to it. Li Xia instead downplayed the matter.

"Is my crescent sister okay?" Xia Solstice mentioned the crescent moon again.

“…… I had a bit of a chill two days ago, but now it's better. Li Xia told Xia Zhi. Although the crescent moon was born in Beizhen Mansion, she was sold there since she was a child, and she has been living in the south with Mrs. Jiugu and her husband over the years, so after returning to Beizhen Mansion, she was a little uncomfortable with the cold climate of Beizhen Mansion.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jiugu will be raised with good medicine, and the crescent moon will be fine after only a few days of illness.

"Now that Sister Crescent is Jiugu's goddaughter, can the treatment be worse? Even if she didn't admit her relatives, Jiugu was very good to the people around her. She serves beside her, but if she has some faces, she is more noble than the daughters of middle-class families in the city. ”

"These days, we are also saying that my crescent sister has met a good person. Xia Zhi also told Li Xia that she was going to take her family into Fucheng in the first month, and watching the lights was secondary, mainly because she wanted to visit Mrs. Jiugu. "I have to thank you in person. "Then it's for the Xia family to recognize each other.

"I'll tell Jiu Gu when I go back. Li Xia nodded.

The two spoke in a low voice, and Li Xia said that this time he brought a lot of delicious and fun food to Xia Zhi. "Have you seen the gift list, I'll take you to see something. ”

"That's not a rush. Xia Zhi smiled, and still stood up with Li Xia, "I have also prepared some things for you to bring back......

The two came out, greeted Sun Lan'er and Aunt Xia San, and went to the backyard. While walking, Xia Zhi also told Li Xia about going out a few days ago.

"It's a pity I'm not here. Li Xia deeply regretted it.

When the two arrived in the backyard, Xia Zhi first took out the things he had specially purchased to show Li Xia. There are also two dried flying dragons and other mountain ginseng, and all kinds of specialties are for Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian. The toad oil was packed in a brocade box, mainly for Jiugu, and some were also given to Mrs. Tian and Tian Qi's wife, Jiang.

"Sixteen, you're attentive. You're just going out on a cold day to touch these things. ”

"Not exactly, I have something else to do. "The summer solstice said.

"Sixteen, I will not fail you. Li Xia said suddenly.

Xia Zhi was a little panicked in her heart, and she was usually very good at words, but she couldn't say anything to deal with at this moment. At this time, the voice of the little black fish came from outside.

"Li Xia, sixteen ......" the little black fish shouted loudly outside.

"You must have told us to go eat roasted sparrows. "The summer solstice came back to his senses.

Li Xia still looked at the summer solstice steadily.

"What are you staring at me for. I don't understand what you mean. Xia Zhi turned white, and Li Xia walked outside at a glance.

Li Xia followed behind with a smile: "Sixteen, you understand." ”

"I don't understand. ”

The two of them came out with their front and back feet, and sure enough, they saw the little black fish dragging two roasted house finchers with the placket of their clothes looking for them.

"Li Xia, Sixteen, where have you two gone? I have been looking for you for a long time, and the house finches are all roasted, and I haven't looked at you two. This is what I specially left for the two of you......" The little black fish complained while urging Xia Zhi and Li Xia to quickly eat the house sparrow.

A house finch is just a little bit of meat, and although the amount is small, it tastes excellent.

The little black fish was afraid that Li Xia and Xia Zhi would not be able to eat, so he helped the two of them dismantle the finch meat. Age aside, this situation is really like an uncle taking care of his nephews and nieces.

"Uncle, where is Tian Kuo?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Noble took him to play, and the little tree. The little black fish told Xia Solstice.

After they played outside for a while, Mrs. Xia sent Xia Qiao to find them, saying that they were going to have dinner. At this time, Tian Laibao, Tian Kuo and Xiao Shu'er also returned.

Xia Zhi actually didn't understand that Tian Kuo was not Li Xia, how could Tian Kuo play with Tian Laibao and Xiao Shu'er. Tian Kuo came back and smiled when he saw Li Xia and Xia Zhi, while Tian Laibao squinted his eyes and smiled at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi felt that the laughter of these two people had some content.

But she didn't have time to think about it, the pig-killing feast was ready.

According to the customs of Beizhen Mansion, the main food of pig-killing dishes is stewed sauerkraut with bone meat, and then blood sausage or blood tofu, and the rest of the dishes are all up to each family.

Today, the guests are coming, and the Xia family's pig-killing dishes have added a lot of other content.

First of all, Mrs. Xia also killed a few chickens, plus those mountain delicacies bought back by Xia Zhi, and stewed a chicken stew with mushrooms, a famous dish of Beizhen Mansion in an iron pot.

Sauerkraut and mushrooms are the hardest dishes on the table, and they are served in a bowl with great pride.

After that, there are liver tips, fat intestines, sweet and sour loin, etc. In addition to these direct-themed dishes, there are also pepper fish fillet, braised sea cucumber with green onion, Bazhen tofu, stewed lamb's trotters, shrimp and winter melon, and cabbage in soup. Even the New Year's banquet is not so rich.

Everyone took their seats and looked at the table full of dishes. It was certainly not the sumniest feast they had ever had, but the lively and festive atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the host family were the most contagious.

Xia Zhi didn't sit with Li Xia and Tian Kuo. There was a separate seat in the West House, mainly because Xia Zhi accompanied Tian Mi'er, and Chen Xing'er and several other little girls were also present. Old Mrs. Xia is naturally also at this table.

None of the daughters-in-law of the Xia family were on the table, including the Tian family. Tian didn't know what to think, and deliberately shook it to the Westinghouse. Old Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhi didn't speak, and Tian didn't take the initiative to ask for the table, so they had to go out.

This meal is a bit long. Everyone in the Westinghouse was full, and the table was withdrawn, and they had another round of fruit and tea, while the men in the Easthouse were still eating and drinking.

"You~ Lord is happy. I'm going to have to give him a heads-up. Mrs. Xia whispered to Xia Zhi.

Killing pigs and inviting guests, some people can eat from morning to evening, as long as there is wine on the table and sauerkraut soup in the pot. But today, there are delicate guests from Fucheng, so it's not good to do this~ thing.

Mrs. Xia said, and really went to remind Mr. Xia once. "They'll have to eat a little longer. After coming back, Mrs. Xia said to Xia Zhi, "Li Xia is quite drinkable." ”

"Gee, don't let him drink too much. "Xia Zhi wanted to remind Li Xia.

"Sixteen, don't go. Old Mrs. Xia stopped Xia Zhi and went herself. She soon came back and told Xia Zhi, "I told you~ Master, they don't drink anymore." ”

Then, Mrs. Xia discussed with Xia Zhi what to eat at night. After these guests finished eating, most of them would leave, and there should only be Li Xia, Tian Kuo, Tian Laibao, Tian Mi'er and Changsheng at dinner.

"Just eat the pot. Xia Zhi said.

"That's what I thought, too. Old Lady Xia nodded immediately.

"Milk, I see that Tian Mi'er is a little sleepy. There's a lot of noise in the backyard, so I'll take her back to the front yard to sleep for a while. Xia Zhi said to Mrs. Xia. Tian Mi'er is a guest, and she is also a child.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about it. She'll have to rest with you tonight, too. ”

"No problem, I take care of her. Xia Solstice nodded.

"It's only a few years old, and it's coming from afar, and there are people who are waiting, but it's still different. Mrs. Xia felt that it was very rare for Tian Mi'er to come to Daxingzhuang, and told Xia Zhi to take care of Tian Mi'er.

"Milk, you can rest assured. ”

Xia Zhi was about to take Tian Mi'er to the front yard, when he heard a little boy shouting at the gate: "Your family has a new daughter-in-law!"
