Xia Qiao's body and expression suddenly stiffened, obviously embarrassed. Tian has always been good to Xia Qiao's eldest son, but because Xia Qiao is growing up day by day, Tian has not made such affectionate moves towards Xia Qiao for a long time. Xia Qiao also felt that he was an adult, no matter what he thought in his heart, he couldn't accept Tian's actions.

He thought of what he had just reminded him of in the summer solstice of Ninghua Hall, this was the difference that the Tian clan had for him.

Tian didn't seem to be aware of Xia Qiao's embarrassment at all, she hugged Xia Qiao and didn't let go, as if she was grabbing ~ the most precious thing in her life, or her last life-saving straw.

Xia Qiao's heart was soft-hearted, he wanted to break free, but he didn't dare to try too hard. However, feeling that Tian's arm holding him was quite strong, he was a lot more relieved.

Although Tian looked a little haggard, seeing that she still had such strength, it should be that her body was not at a loss. Xia Zhi should be right, Tian's is a disease of wealth and wealth, as long as you spend money to take medicine, you will be fine.

Because Tian was too enthusiastic, Xia Xiucai looked a little strange from the side. However, he soon found a reason for Tian. Tian is sick like this, and his heart must be relatively fragile. Among the children, Xia Qiao is the most filial and soft-hearted.

Moreover, Xia Qiao, as the eldest son, can better understand the difficulties of the Tian family and can afford the burden of the family.

Xia Zhi's idea is different from Xia Xiucai's. She originally had some guesses, but when she saw Tian treating Xia Qiao like this, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

Tian originally wanted to have another son who completely listened to her and could be relied on. But the illness she had made this plan completely frustrated.

Tian's disease is okay to live, but if he wants to have another child, it is impossible. This is the unanimous diagnosis of several people who were invited. Xia Xiucai didn't have any idea about this, on the contrary, he and the Tian family already had two good sons and two daughters, although it was not much, but it was by no means less. But the Tian clan's plan fell through, and he was very disappointed for a while.

can't give birth to another son, so Tian has to find a support between Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er.

Originally, Xiaoshu'er was young, so he should be better taught and enveloped. But Tian quickly gave up on this choice. Although Xiao Shu'er is clever and pleased, her temper is not as good as Xia Qiao's.

Xia Qiao used to listen to her very much, but it was because she found out about the crescent moon, and then she was picked up by Xia Zhi, so she broke away from her.

But even if she is separated from her, Xia Qiao is usually obedient to her, but she refuses to be at her mercy in matters involving her mother's family.

Moreover, as the eldest son in the family and the eldest grandson of the Xia family, Xia Qiao's position in the Xia family is unique. If she can re-entrap Xia Qiao, then she doesn't need to have any more sons.

Thinking about this clearly, Tian also asked Xia Xiucai to write a letter to Daxingzhuang, saying that she missed Xia Qiao and wanted Xia Qiao to come to see her.

Xia Xiucai did write such a letter. Although even if they don't write letters, Xia Qiao will come to this trip.

Tian hugged Xia Qiao and cried and said, her movement was not small, and someone heard the movement and approached. Xia Xiucai was slightly embarrassed, Xia Zhi really felt Xia Qiao's embarrassment, so he stepped forward and pulled Tian away.

Xia Zhi made a gesture of supporting Tian's family, and he and Xia Qiao hugged Tian into the house.

"Mother, what are you doing today? I haven't seen you do this to my brother before. This is sick, and I think I can only count on my brother in the future. Xia Zhi said while helping Tian to walk into the house.

She kept her voice low, only Tian and Xia Qiao could hear it, and Xia Xiucai and Erya, who were a little farther away, could only vaguely hear her talking, but they couldn't hear what she said clearly.

Tian was stumbling under her feet, if it weren't for Xia Zhi and Xia Qiao supporting her, she was afraid that she would fall down. Xia Zhi's words happened to be at the root of her illness.

That's right, that's what she thought.

But what's wrong with her thinking like this? Xia Zhi was born to clash with her, she just thought about it like this, Xia Solstice had to be dismantled, and it was in front of Xia Qiao.

Tian glared at Xia Solstice viciously. However, although she is well treated, her body has some wear and tear after all, so her staring gaze is a little more than enough and her strength is insufficient.

Xia Qiao is soft, but not stupid. He saw Tian's reaction clearly, and he already knew in his heart that what Xia Zhi said was not right. Xia Qiao's mood was a little complicated.

So everyone went into the house and sat down.

Because she had just been exposed by Xia Zhi, and Xia Qiao's reaction was far from what she expected. Although Tian had already made a draft in his heart, whether it was his demeanor or his speech, it was a little unnatural.

It's all to blame on the summer solstice, Tian thought hatefully.

At this time, Xia Xiucai was already asking Xia Qiao how Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia were doing, and how the family was doing these days.

"My grandfather and grandmother heard that my mother was sick, and they were very worried, and they even asked people to buy the best millet on the market, saying that millet porridge is the most nourishing. My grandmother said, boil the millet out of the rice oil, that rice oil is the best......"

Tian can't eat delicacies from the mountains and seas now, nor can she eat big fish ~ meat, and it's really this millet that is the most beneficial to her.

Xia Xiucai was very grateful: "Your grandmother is a thoughtful person, who will take care of people and be considerate." ”

Tian was uncomfortable: "Look at you like that." It's like she's your own mother. ”

The two daughters-in-law of the Xia family, Tian and Second Aunt Xia, they have one thing in common, that is, they love to talk about Mrs. Xia at every turn, and they are not Xia Xiucai and Second Uncle Xia's mother-in-law.

Xia Xiucai was a little embarrassed. Tian's words were only said in front of her alone, but when he said it in front of Xia Zhi and Xia Qiao, he was entangled. If he didn't talk about the Tian family, this would obviously be unreasonable, and he would be ashamed of Mrs. Xia's heart. If he says Tian's......

Xia Xiucai has long been used to not talking about the Tian family.

Xia Qiao was also a little embarrassed. In the past, he was surrounded by the Tian family, and he was not close to the backyard, and he didn't feel anything when the Tian family said this. But now that he is getting closer and closer to the backyard, Mrs. Xia not only does not have the slightest place to stop him, but also takes care of him everywhere.

Xia Qiao was a conscientious teenager, so Tian's words made him embarrassed and uncomfortable. But he is also a supple teenager who feels that he shouldn't choke his mother to speak.

Summer Solstice has no such concerns.

"Mother, you can talk about your conscience. How is my milk doing to us, you're embarrassed to always say such boring things. Don't say I didn't give you a warning. You said this well, and you will say the same thing to others another day, and you can see how others pay attention to you behind their backs. ”

The level of livelihood and medical care in this era is not high, and the most significant manifestation is the infant mortality rate, and then there are people who die of illness in the prime of life.

Because of this, there are many widowers and widows who remarry, and many families have stepmothers and children left behind by the first house.

In the ethics of this era, stepmothers must treat the children left behind in the first room as if they were their own, otherwise they will be condemned. At the same time, the children should also treat their stepmothers with the same respect ~ mothers, otherwise they are unfilial.

If Tian goes out to say this kind of thing, he will definitely offend many people, and he will also be held by others.

Because Xia Zhi spoke, Xia Xiucai also followed and said Tian: "...... Don't always talk about what you don't have to do, old ...... My mother has always been good to me, and she has nothing to say to sixteen of them. To be a man is to speak of conscience. …… It's not good for you to say that all the time. ”

“…… I don't go to the backyard to eat, my grandmother always comes to the front yard to cook for me, and I keep any good dishes for dumplings. Clothes or something, my grandmother rushed to help me wash ......" Xia Qiao didn't say Tian, he only said how Mrs. Xia took care of him these days.

Tian's face turned red, but she was so strong, so she refused to admit her mistake no matter what.

"He's looking after you, but that's not looking...... Xia Zhi takes care of her old son......" Tian muttered.

Xia Xiucai sighed: "What's in your mouth......"

"What's in my mouth, I can't speak, it's making your family angry!" Tian was okay with Xia Qiao and Xia Zhi, but as soon as Xia Xiu opened her mouth, she wanted to go back after all.

Xia Zhi knew that Tian's point would never change. In fact, there is a deep-rooted idea in Tian's heart, that is, her superiority over Mrs. Xia.

She and Xia Xiu were the original husband and wife, but Mrs. Xia was widowed and then married to the Xia family to fill the house for Mr. Xia.

Next, Xia Xiucai, Xia Qiao and Xia Zhi tried to ignore the Tian family as much as possible, and when it came to family affairs, the three of them were still more talkative.

Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia are in good health, because the weather is warm, Old Man Xia has already started to go to the field with his children and grandchildren, and the small business of Second Uncle Xia and Third Uncle Xia is doing well.

All in all everything was fine at home, nothing to worry about.

Then someone was the matchmaker for Channier again. This time, Qian Nier went to see each other, but she didn't like each other, so the family affair still didn't work out.

Speaking of Tian Daidi's family, Tian interjected and asked Xia Qiao if anyone was a matchmaker for Qian Dalang.

Xia Qiao shook his head. Qian Dalang's age is too old, and he looks very average, and he can even be said to be a little bit of a look. If Qian Dalang can speak, it's okay, he doesn't know how to speak, he is sullen, and he doesn't like much.

“…… It's the old one. Tian said.

"When her second aunt's family is lived, Da Lang can also set a daughter-in-law, sooner or later. "Xia Xiucai is kinder.

Tian suddenly thought of May again, and she asked Xia Qiao if May was honest at home, and whether he had anything to do with the Zhang family again. In May, Tian didn't say much when she was in Daxingzhuang, but judging by the way she asked now, she should be very interested in this matter.

Xia Qiao was not very happy to talk about this topic. She told Tian that she had been at home for a long time and had not gone out. "My lord watched her closely. ”

Tian smiled, a little gloating. "You~ Master watch tightly, and you may not be able to watch it. I've seen since I was a kid that she's not a fuel-efficient lamp. I don't know what will happen in the future. It's the same as your second uncle's temperament, do!"

Tian asked some other questions, but he didn't ask how the Tian family was doing in Linshui Town.

She doesn't ask, but Xia Solstice does.

Hearing Xia Zhi ask about Old Man Tian's family, Tian was silent.

“…… Business is slowly getting going. They all exaggerated that Bao's daughter-in-law was capable, and her mother's brother was also willing to do it. My second aunt did a good job there, and they got along well with Dabao's daughter-in-law. ”

There must be an early run-in, but everyone is afraid that the summer solstice is on the one hand, and on the other hand, they really want to do a good job in business and live their own lives.

Yue Hong, Tian Daidi, this is indeed someone who can work together.

Xia Zhi nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with this situation.

Because of this topic, Tian couldn't help but ask. "Did you look at your grandma and your grandfather? That shop is the head of Dabao's daughter-in-law, so what are your grandpa and your uncle doing?"

"I watched it twice when I was in the market. They're all good. …… Dabao's daughter-in-law is in charge, my grandfather deducts it, he wants to deduct the amount of dishes from the guests, and Dabao's daughter-in-law is afraid that he will offend the guests, so she won't let him be in the shop. My uncle...... He didn't do anything, he drank every day and played with money. ”

When Tian heard this, he already regretted asking such a sentence. None of the people in her mother's family gave her a long face. Feeling uncomfortable, Tian still wanted to move back a little face.

"Someone made it up. Where did your uncle get the money to drink and play with money?"

"Dabao's daughter-in-law gave it, saying that it was to prevent him from making trouble. Xia Qiao said honestly.

Tian's face turned red, and then white, and then he had a seizure: "It's all mud that can't support the wall, and I won't care about them anymore." ”

This sentence was also something she had thought about a long time ago, and the original intention was to win back to Xia Qiao's heart. But after she finished saying this, everyone was silent, and Xia Qiao didn't mean to be particularly grateful.

Tian closed his mouth, bitter in his heart.

"It doesn't cost much to drink some wine, why do you want him to play with money?" Xia Zhi asked Xia Qiao.

"If you don't let you play with money, he will make trouble, and he will be drunk. Don't give him much money, it's all a small game, don't play big. Everyone nearby knows that Dabao's daughter-in-law has let out her words, and the uncle can play with the money in his hand, and she will not help pay off the gambling debts. Whoever dares to let the uncle owe money, there is no need to look for her, just find the uncle himself, the uncle has no money, and she doesn't care if they cut and sell the meat piecemeal. ”

Yue Hong is really a bachelor.

However, Yue Hong dared to say this, and those who gambled also listened, on the one hand, because of Yue Hong's three brothers, and on the other hand, because of the influence of the Xia family.

Yue Hong had gone to see Old Man Xia before he said this.

Xia Zhi smiled. Tian wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth, and finally swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Saying this, the little black fish and the little tree came to school. They were very happy to see Xia Qiao, and Xia Qiao was the same. He also took turns picking up the little tree and the little black fish and spun them around a few times.

Xiao Shu'er laughed happily. The little black fish was actually quite happy, and his face was a little stiff, but he still said that he was an adult or an uncle, and asked Xia Qiao to let him go quickly.

The room was filled with a happy atmosphere all of a sudden, dispelling the gloom that belonged to the Tian family.
