Chapter 46~4 Yiyantang

In fact, when Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia set up a marriage for Xia Zhu, they didn't ask Old Man Xia's opinion, and they didn't even notify him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And everyone has long been separated, so there is no need to take the bride price and dowry seriously to discuss with Old Man Xia.

Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia meant vaguely and clearly, that is, to let Old Man Xia help out the money. They all know that Old Man Xia feels sorry for his children and grandchildren, and he loves face very much.

If Second Uncle Xia and Guo Xi really wanted to discuss it themselves, Second Uncle Xia would definitely refuse in his current situation.

Everyone knew very well what Second Uncle Xia was thinking, but no one spoke. Everyone has to see how Old Man Xia expresses his position at this time.

Old Man Xia was very unhappy, he didn't be polite to his second son this time. "The two of you have decided on the family affairs, and the bride price and dowry have been decided by the two of you. I don't have anything else, it's just tailor-made, you can do it yourself. ”

He spoke simply, leaving no room for manoeuvre.

Second Uncle Xia was stunned, and then involuntarily exchanged glances with Guo Xi. Old Man Xia understood the expressions of the two from under his nose. He knew that his second son wanted to eat public and be private, so he took this opportunity to knock him hard.

The dowry for the Guo family, in the final analysis, is still Xia Zhu's. Second Uncle Xia didn't suffer inside and out.

If this had been left in the past, Old Man Xia might have really given in. The meat is rotten in the pot, and he will be regarded as a supplement for his second son's family. But in the past year, under the influence of Xia Zhi and Mrs. Xia and others, his thinking has changed somewhat.

Plus, he's not as assertive as he used to be. Xia Solstice will directly accuse him of injustice, his partiality, and his mistakes.

There is another point, that is, Uncle Xia's behavior~ is too disappointing for him.

Even if he can't achieve an absolute bowl of water, he has to keep the bottom line in this matter.

Second Uncle Xia was unwilling to grind with Old Man Xia for a while, and finally died. He glanced at Guo Xi again. Guo Xi looked away.

Second Uncle Xia gritted his teeth: "Come on, even if I borrow money, I also have to prepare a decent bride price for my in-laws." ”

These words are also superficial, on the one hand, I still hope that Old Man Xia is soft-hearted. Old Man Xia loves face, and he will not want to see his son go out to borrow money.

With such a thought, Second Uncle Xia secretly glanced at Old Man Xia again. Old Man Xia didn't react at all.

Second Uncle Xia was completely dead.

"Father, mother, you have pity on your son, pity your grandson. Second Uncle Xia proposed again, even if Old Man Xia didn't help his grandson prepare the bride price, he really couldn't do it by himself.

Old Man Xia was also relieved at this time. said that he would help when he was doing things in Daxingzhuang. However, Old Man Xia also said that because Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan are still young, this matter is going to be simpler.

"It's not a big gift, it's just a few tables that can't be pushed out if you really get close. ”

Aunt Xia felt that Old Man Xia was ruthless and unkind. "Dad, Erzhu is not your own grandson. It's not like you're old now. Na Layue set a marriage, or invite the chef of the big restaurant. Two people with the surname are married in our family, what is the banquet going on, you always say that when you go to Erzhu!"

Xia Zhi smiled and took over Aunt Xia's words: "Second aunt, Erzhu does things, if you and my second uncle are willing, let's invite the chef of the big restaurant to come, it is definitely not worse than anyone." Then she casually talked about the eldest brother of the Chen family and Sun Xiu'er's marriage.

"The things and money for the banquet are not paid by our family, our family is just a place to help the people. ”

Xia Zhi was not wrong at all.

When Aunt Xia saw that Xia Zhi had opened her mouth, she didn't dare to dwell on this issue anymore.

Old Man Xia sighed: "According to what Sixteen said, it's my idea not to do much." If you don't like it, don't let me care, and you can toss it if you like. ”

"Dad, listen to you, listen to your old man. Second Uncle Xia could only say, "Erzhu is your old grandson, you love him more than us, this thing must be done beautifully." ”

"Don't talk to me. It stands to reason that I shouldn't have done that. I'm talking about it now, there's a condition. Old Man Xia said suddenly.

"Dad, what conditions do you have?" Second Uncle Xia asked.

"The May thing. Old Man Xia threw out such a sentence.

Second Uncle Xia's face changed. "Dad, this has nothing to do with May. May, May, didn't she listen to your old words, just stay at home and didn't go out? ”

"Hey! she can't get out. The reputation of the old Xia family has ruined her. Old Man Xia said angrily.

Second Aunt Xia was very dissatisfied, but she was not very confident, so she only muttered and retorted to Old Man Xia: "What did you say about this? What happened to us in May, we didn't do anything out of the ordinary in May." It's Zhang Fang who insists on marrying us in May......"

"You still dare to speak!" Old Man Xia was angry. He was originally reserved and refused to scold his daughters-in-law directly. But the May incident made him too aggrieved. "It's all because you didn't teach it well. Let the family poke the backbone of our old Xia family in the back! Our old Xia family has never had such a thing in several lifetimes......"

Aunt Xia's face turned a little white when she was scolded. But she was obviously unwilling, and only looked at Second Uncle Xia with her eyes, hoping that Second Uncle Xia would come out and say something.

Second Uncle Xia is much smarter than Second Aunt Xia, and he doesn't want to argue with Old Man Xia about May at this time.

I have to coax Old Man Xia to help with Xia Zhu's affairs first, and when the time comes, they will do it themselves in May, what else can Old Man Xia do to them, they have long been separated.

Second Uncle Xia didn't speak.

Old Man Xia scolded for a while, which was a bit angry. He paused slightly, and then told Second Uncle Xia the conditions.

"I don't have the cheekiness to poke people in the back. In May, I found her a family affair, and after the matter of the second pillar was completed, I will do it in May. ”

Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia were taken aback.

Xia Solstice was also slightly surprised. Old Man Xia moved so fast, what kind of house did he find for May?

"There is a young man in their line for the first time, four years older than May, a young man, capable, and a simple family, next to their village. I saw it in the last episode.,The guy is very nice.,Ten people.。 ”

Old Man Xia finished his words in one go, and didn't give Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia a chance to interject at all.

In fact, this is the consistent style of Old Man Xia. It's just that now that the family is separated, and he is a few years older, so he has taken a step back when he talks and does things...... Nothing more.

At the beginning, June's family affairs were almost given by him, but at that time, he also let Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia take June to see each other. This time it was May's turn, and this step of seeing each other was omitted.

Old man Xia is determined to marry May as soon as possible, no wonder he refuses to mention the matter of May to himself, Xia Zhi thought silently in his heart.

"Dad, you can't ......" Second Uncle Xia was also a little anxious.

"Why can't I!" Old Man Xia glared at Second Uncle Xia, "Just because she is my granddaughter in May, just because her surname is Xia, just because she ...... Just rely on the old lady of the Zhang family to send people to find me, if you don't look for others!"

"Dad, I know, that old lady of the Zhang family, she ...... Hey, why don't she blame her son. Dad, this matter in May, don't ......," Second Uncle Xia said anxiously.

"You don't like the matter of May, I don't care about the matter of the two pillars, I can't take care of it anyway!" Old Man Xia sneered.

This is the other side of Old Man Xia that Xia Solstice hasn't seen much.

"I don't care about the affairs of the second pillar, and the affairs of May must be done as I say. Old Man Xia said again, "If you are not happy, you will give me a long way away." Our old Xia family doesn't have a shameless and shameless person like you!"

That's a bit harsh.

Second Uncle Xia immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, which was much more serious than he thought. He immediately didn't dare to argue with Old Man Xia, but turned to Old Lady Xia pitifully.

"Mother...... Look at my father, my father and his ...... Mother, you persuade my father, you grew up watching May a lot, and your boss always took her with her when she was a child......"

Mrs. Xia was very embarrassed, there was no place for her to speak about this matter. But Second Uncle Xia begged for her, and she couldn't ignore it.

"Old man......"

As soon as Mrs. Xia opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Mr. Xia. "You don't care about this, you can't control it. No one cares about this, I'll just have the final say. Whoever told me it was for nothing. ”

All at once, the door was shut.

Mrs. Xia touched the ash of her nose, and her heart was a little more relaxed, she glanced at Second Uncle Xia apologetically, and then persuaded Old Man Xia.

"If you have anything to say, talk to the children and discuss it with them slowly. ”

"What else are you discussing? Did they discuss it with me when they did it? I didn't force them to do anything, they didn't want to get out of here, don't be embarrassed in front of my eyes!"

Then, Old Man Xia also waved his hand at Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia, asking them not to rub in front of him.

"You can discuss it yourself, and tell me when you have discussed it. If you don't like it, you won't have to go to the grave tomorrow. ”

It means that Uncle Xia is going to be swept out of the house.

With the Xia family's current family and the reputation accumulated over the years, the old lady of the Zhang family still dislikes and can't be a parent, if they are kicked out, it is strange that the old lady of the Zhang family can let May enter the door!

Second Uncle Xia took Second Aunt Xia and the others away with a frown.

They walked for a while, and no one spoke in the house. It was still not good for Old Man Xia to think that this atmosphere was always like this, so he first eased his face, and then asked Xia Zhi and Crescent Moon what they wanted to drink.

"Let your milk get it for you, well, get that brown sugar water......"

In fact, everyone has just finished dinner, where to eat and drink.

Mrs. Xia immediately went to the ground to Zhang Luo, she specially prepared rock sugar pear water for Xia Zhi and Crescent Moon, as well as hawthorn soup, one is moist, and the other can help restrain meat, which can be said to be very intimate.

"This is still my sister is back, and my milk doesn't boil such delicious sugar water when I'm at home......" Xia Zhi said with a smile while drinking sugar water.

Mrs. Xia laughed: "You kid, I don't want to cook for you what milk you want at home." Besides, you told me this sugar water, or I don't know what to treat us to the crescent moon. ”

Because Yueya'er stayed in the south with Mrs. Jiugu for a short time, she also had the habit of drinking sugar water. This incident was indeed told to Mrs. Xia by Xia Zhi.

The big guys all laughed good-naturedly, and Old Man Xia's face also twitched ~ twice.

The atmosphere in the room was less tense, and the big guys dared to speak.

"Old man, don't you think about May anymore? Even if you find your in-laws for May, it won't ...... Hey, you let the male and female take May to see and pick ......."

Mrs. Xia, this is completely kind.

"Let them see, let them pick, I'll let them be a little empty, they may not be able to do it. Old Man Xia sneered, "This matter is so decided, if you don't do it, you can't do it." ”

After speaking, Old Man Xia paused, and specially asked Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, what do you think." Am I not going to be able to do this?"

Xia Zhi put herself in Old Man Xia's shoes and thought about it, and then she smiled: "Master, I don't know." I'm still young, and I'm not in your place. ”

Old man Xia said in his heart that Xia Zhi was a little slippery, but at the same time, he was ironed. Before the summer solstice, he was in Layue, and how he behaved in the family affairs of the eldest brother of the Chen family and Sun Xiu'er. Xia Zhi is a very enthusiastic little girl.

Now that Xia Zhi doesn't refute him, it proves that Xia Zhi understands his hard work and understands why he, as the patriarch, made such a decision.

"Your second uncle, he's not bad, he's just smart, and he always wants to take shortcuts. May's temperament follows her father, hey......" Old Man Xia sighed deeply.

Mrs. Xia took out a few thick piles of paper at this time. The so-called big paper is the common name of the Zhuang family, in fact, it is the yellow table paper. Mrs. Xia said that she bought a lot of paper this time, and she was afraid that it would be too late to fold it tomorrow morning, so while she was free now, the big guy would fold these papers.

Today, the Xia family bought a lot more paper than in previous years, because Xia Qiao, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Heiyu'er all went to school, and the old man Xia and Mrs. Xia bought more paper in their names, and they were going to burn it on the grave of their ancestors.

In addition, I bought some on the summer solstice, and I also bought some on the crescent moon, which adds up to a lot.

Some people go to the grave not only to burn paper money, but also to burn gold ingots, silver ingots and the like. However, the Xia family's graves are all old graves, and generations of people have not been interested in burning those things, only the simplest paper money.

There are a few more steps to turn large paper into paper money that can be burned on the grave.

The first step is to cut the whole large piece of paper into the right size, usually a large piece of paper should be cut into four equal parts. Then the pattern of the copper coin is smashed out with an iron coin on a large piece of paper, and finally the large paper is neatly folded according to the customs.

Generally, ten sheets are bundled together.

Of course, there are also people who don't pay so much attention to it, but the Xia family has always done this.

Smashing copper coins is hard work, so let Uncle Xia San do it. Old Man Xia will also roll up his sleeves to help his third son, and the rest of the work is usually done by the female dependents.

This is also a heart for our ancestors. Summer Solstice and Crescent Moon are quietly helping with origami.

Mrs. Xia praised the crescent moon for her ingenuity. Crescent Moon did this work for the first time, but it was beautiful.

"Master, how many tables are you going to hold about Erzhu?" Xia Zhi asked Old Man Xia while working.

Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia haven't heard back yet, but Xia Zhi seems to have known the result.
