Chapter 250: The Outer House

Because dinner is her favorite food, she learned to play chess with Li Xia, and then there are things to think about going to Fucheng, so when Xia Solstice returns home, she is already in a very good mood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tian and the others hadn't slept yet, and Sun Lan'er was also in the East House, sitting on the kang with Tian and Erya to do needlework. Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er sat a little farther away, Xia Qiao was reading a book, and Xiao Shu'er was dozing.

"Sixteen, you're back. Sun Lan'er saw the summer solstice first, and greeted her affectionately~ affectionately.

"Hmm. Xia Zhi nodded, and said to Tian, "Mother, it's getting late." Don't light the lamp and boil the oil, go to bed early. ”

"You still need to say it. Tian glanced at Xia Zhi, and then glanced at Erya.

Er Ya looked much calmer, but obviously absent-minded.

Tian shouldn't be fine tonight, but Erya probably can't sleep well.

Sun Lan'er saw that Xia Solstice was back, so she took a needle and a needle to return to the West House with Xia Solstice.

"I really didn't expect that. Sixteen, you say, isn't it to blame, otherwise the big girl can't ......"

"Sister Lanzi, what are you talking about? Xia Zhi interrupted Sun Lan'er's self-blame, "Even if there is no Liu Fatzi, there will be others, after all." ”

Sun Lan'er sighed and said, "The eldest girl is also a hard-working person. I don't know what the future will be like. ”

"Then it's up to the big girl. Although the Tian family agreed to the eldest girl, it was the old man Tian who could decide the fate of the second girl in the end. Not to mention that the Tian family will not fight against the old man Tian for the sake of Erya at all, even if the Tian family wants to, I'm afraid she won't be able to fight.

"In the future, if the eldest girl is similar to my mother, or more than my mother will fill in my mother's family, maybe their family will let the second girl go. Xia Zhi told Sun Lan'er.

"Hey......" Sun Lan'er sighed again.

The two little girls talked about the big girl for a while, and then moved on to other topics. Sun Lan'er told Xia Zhi about going to Sun Si'er's house today, and said that Sun Si'er and Sun Si'er's daughter-in-law treated her very well.

"The big girl also said that she wanted to come to play with us. ”

The eldest girl is the eldest daughter of Sun Si'er.

"Let her come, let's have more companions in the future. "The summer solstice said,

"Hmm. Sun Lan'er nodded happily. From now on, she is not afraid of Sun Wang's family, and she can come to be a companion for the summer solstice every day.

If she depends on her, she would rather grow up in the summer solstice house all day long.

……

In a blink of an eye, the summer heat gradually subsided, and there was already a trace of autumn coolness in the morning and evening air. The soybeans planted by the Xia family have emerged very well, and there is almost no need to replenish the seedlings, and now they have bloomed, and many of them have set pods.

According to Mr. Xia's observation, in autumn, the family's soybean harvest is estimated to be abundant.

There's nothing more satisfying than that.

Another big gathering in Linshui Town, everyone in the Xia family is used to going out of the stall, when to do something, who should do something, there is no need for Xia Zhi to watch from the sidelines, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

However, Xia Zhi still helped at the stall. The one who is busier than her in the stall is Li Xia. Li Xia didn't let Xia Zhi do chores, only let Xia Zhi sit under the pergola, but he ran around diligently and was very dedicated.

The little black fish also followed Li Xia to do chores, and the big and the small also cooperated quite tacitly.

Xia Zhi was looking at Li Xia and the little black fish, and heard Layue call Erya, as if she was very surprised. Xia Zhi hurriedly looked in the direction of Layue, and sure enough, he saw Erya.

Xia Solstice stood up and walked over.

Erya didn't come alone, she also brought a little girl with her.

"Summer Solstice ......" Erya greeted Summer Solstice with a smile.

"Erya, are you here too?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Well, I'll come and see my sister. My sister asked me to buy some fries, wedges and chips. Erya said to Xia Zhi with a smile.

"That's good. Xia Solstice nodded, while instructing Layue, "Weigh it high." ”

Layue agreed, and asked Erya how much. Er Ya said a number, and Layue weighed it for her, and then Er Ya took out the money from the money bag she was carrying and gave it to Layue.

After that, Er Ya did not leave immediately.

"Summer Solstice, my sister wants you to sit down. Erya came over and said to Xia Zhi.

The eldest girl was placed in Linshui Town by Shopkeeper Liu. The second girl was worried about her sister, and then she begged the Tian family and came to see the eldest girl with the Tian family.

After that, Erya often came to see the eldest girl. If Liu Fatzi is not there, Erya will stay here for the night.

It didn't take many days for Erya to change into new clothes inside and out, and there were decorations on her body.

It is said that Liu Fatzi is still more generous to the eldest girl, giving a fixed monthly money every month, and when he comes to stay overnight, he will also give the eldest girl pocket money or one or two pieces of jewelry or something. In addition, Liu Fatzi also hired a family of three to take care of the eldest girl.

The little girl next to the second girl is the one who serves the big girl, the little girl's mother is responsible for cooking and washing the big girl, and the little girl's father is responsible for taking care of the house, running errands, doing some rough work and the like.

After Tian took Erya to see the eldest girl once, he never went again. Xia Solstice has never been to see the big girl once.

Erya bought a lot of fries, potato wedges and potato chips, and the little girl next to her also carried a lot of things in her hands.

Because Xia Zhi didn't answer Erya immediately, Erya seemed to be a little anxious. "Xia Zhi, my sister misses you a lot. We're cousins too. If you don't look at her, don't you look down on her......"

"Alright. Xia Zhi hurriedly planned Erya's words.

Erya didn't say anything to look down on anymore, but told Xia Zhi: "Shopkeeper Liu is not here today, not here for a few days, my sister said that he went to Da Nan to collect wheat, and it will take more than ten days to come back." ”

Xia Zhi thought about it and felt that he should also go to see the eldest girl.

Li Xia and Little Black Fish came over and saw that Xia Zhi wanted to go to the eldest girl's house. It is not convenient for Li Xia to go to the eldest girl, after all, it is Liu Fatzi's outer house, and Li Xia and the eldest girl are not relatives. But he and the little black fish still came with the summer solstice.

When he arrived at the door of the eldest girl's house, Li Xia stopped, and he asked the little black fish to accompany Xia Solstice in.

"I'll be waiting for you outside. Li Xia said to Xia Zhi.

"Okay, let Daqing accompany you. Xia Solstice laughed. They also brought Daqing. Now Li Xia is already another owner of Daqing.

Liu Fatzi placed the big girl in the small courtyard of the two entrances, the front is the gatehouse and the kitchen, there is a small patio in the back, through the moon cave door is where the big girl lives, but there are three upper rooms and one ear room, and there are two pomegranate trees in the yard that grow very luxuriantly. It is said that Liu Fatzi chose this house at the beginning, mainly because he fell in love with these two pomegranate trees.

The pomegranate tree symbolizes many children and grandchildren, which is Liu Fatzi's biggest concern at present.

Xia Zhi walked into the courtyard, and the eldest girl came out of the upper room. She was wearing a pink dress, with a golden hairpin and a silver hairpin on her head, two gold cloves hanging from her ears, and when she stretched out her hand, she also revealed a silver bracelet with an auspicious pattern of dragon and phoenix on her wrist.

It is really the so-called Buddha who relies on gold, and people who rely on clothes. The big girl is dressed like this, and her face is greased and powdered, which is very different from the big girl in the past.

But when it comes to talking, she is still the girl from the past.

"You're here on the summer solstice, I've been looking forward to you. You are a distinguished guest......" The big girl smiled, and greeted the little black fish again, and hurriedly invited Xia Solstice to the upper house.

The upper house is full of all kinds of furniture, all of which are new. The eldest girl invited Xia Zhi to sit on the kang, and personally poured tea for Xia Zhi and the little black fish.

After a while, an old woman and a little girl came over and put melon seeds, peanuts and fresh fruits, and the french fries and potato chips that Er Ya had just bought were also put on the table.

The eldest girl greeted Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to eat diligently, because Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyu didn't do anything, she also grabbed peanuts and stuffed them into Xiao Heiyuer's hands.

The little black fish looked at the big girl and resolutely refused.

The big girl seems to be a little unable to get off the stage.

"Big girl, don't be busy. If my uncle and I want to eat, we can do it ourselves. "Xia Solstice told the eldest girl.

The eldest girl also knows that the little black fish has a temper, if he doesn't give face, he won't give face. Hearing Xia Zhi say this, she smiled self-deprecatingly, and then sat down opposite Xia Zhi.

The second girl sat next to the eldest girl, carrying the things on the plate to eat. Of course, she eats the most croissants, potato chips and fries.

"Sister, you can also eat it while it's hot. Layue told me that this thing is not as delicious as it just came out of the pot after a while. The second girl said to the eldest girl.

The eldest girl glanced at the second girl.

"It's okay, eldest sister, you should be like the second sister, and really treat me as a guest!" Xia Zhi said to the eldest girl with a smile.

The big girl smiled, and seemed to have figured it out, so she really grabbed the fries and ate them.

"It's delicious. "The big girl ate a little bit, and then she didn't eat it. She wiped her hands and talked to Xia Zhi, "I wanted to buy it for a long time, but I haven't been ......there."

"Big girl, you're thinking too much. Xia Solstice said.

"It's what I'm thinking about a lot. The eldest girl glanced at Xia Solstice carefully, and then smiled.

Xia Solstice had already discovered that the big girl was actually very precocious. Perhaps this is also the answer to that truth: the children of the poor are in charge of the family early.

"I know you're doing well, but Shopkeeper Liu probably doesn't like us very much, so he hasn't come. "Xia Solstice said to the eldest girl.

The eldest girl seemed to be relieved, and the smile on her face became more sincere. "He didn't say that he wouldn't let us go along, I didn't jump out of the rock, and I didn't have any relatives with him? Summer solstice, I won't lie to you, I never thought of ......"

The big girl looked around, and her eyes were a little dreamy.

Xia Zhi immediately understood that the eldest girl was very satisfied with her current life.

"If you're satisfied, it's fine. "That's all the summer solstice can say. The eldest girl has good food and clothing now, and she can still have a little spare money in her hands. Not only does she not have to do rough work, but she also has someone to serve her. Speaking of which, her life is good. But Xia Zhi didn't know if the eldest girl had considered her future.

Maybe for the eldest girl, her future is not a problem. Women, they can give birth to children, and she will always give birth to a son for Shopkeeper Liu.

In fact, Xia Zhi guessed correctly, the eldest girl once told Erya.

The two of them chatted about family life, and then they talked about the backing mountain Tun'er Tian's house.

"My father went back two days ago, Dabao~ brother's daughter-in-law has settled, I haven't heard the letter, did you bring the letter to my aunt?"

"Now, if I carry a letter, I will come to you first. "Xia Zhi told the eldest girl that the backer did not bring the letter.

Tian got the value of the eldest girl, so he immediately brought a letter to the backer Tun'er. Then there is the silver that the uncle of the Tian family, that is, the eldest girl's father, came to take it.

For such an important matter, it is said that Old Man Tian planned to come by himself. He didn't enter Daxingzhuang, so he went to Linshui Town and asked Tian to send him the silver.

According to Old Man Tian's own words, he is a face-saving person, unless Old Man Xia apologizes to him and invites him, he will never step into Daxingzhuang for half a step in his life.

But unfortunately, Old Man Tian was sick, and the illness was quite serious, so he couldn't get up from the kang, so he called Uncle Tian's family.

The uncle of the Tian family went to Daxingzhuang to get the silver, and went to the eldest girl to take a look, and then went back happily.

But after he went back, there was no letter from the backer. Whether Tian Dabao's daughter-in-law has decided or not, Xia Zhi doesn't know.

"That's probably going to be two days. Such a big thing, it is estimated that my grandfather can get up on the kang, so let's start to handle it. The big girl said.

Xia Solstice doesn't care about this matter.

She said a few words to the eldest girl, and then got up to leave. The eldest girl tried her best to keep it, saying that she had asked the kitchen to prepare a meal, and she wanted to leave Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish to eat at her place.

"No, there's something going on in the stall. Once you've cleaned up your stalls, it's time to go back. "The summer solstice is very polite, but it doesn't mean to stay in the slightest.

The eldest girl was very disappointed, and finally sent Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish to the gate. She didn't step out of the door, it is said that this is the rule that Liu Fatzi set for her.

Xia Zhi and the little black fish met Li Xia, so they went to the grocery store to buy some things, this time she also bought some rapeseed oil and peanut oil. Because she can earn more than two taels of silver on each set, Xia Zhi has been very rich recently, and she feels tired of always eating soybean oil, so she asked the shopkeeper of the grocery store to get her some other oil.

Rapeseed oil and peanut oil are also available in Pak Chin Province, but they are slightly more expensive than soybean oil. But Xia Zhi didn't care about this, and the group of snacks at home also supported her decision.

After collecting the stall and going home, he handed over all the vegetables he bought to Mrs. Xia Luo, and Xia Zhi took a few small counts to take inventory, and then paid the wages of Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia on the spot.

A few small ones, including Xia Qiao, also have a variety of wages, and every time the accounts are settled, there is no arrears. Even Xiao Xia Lin had a few pennies in hand, and happily asked his mother to save it for him, and when the food came to sell on the street, he would be able to buy hi with his own money.

Mrs. Xia here also cooked all the meals, and it was still a full table, and the big guys were on the table to eat together.

Xia Zhi had just taken a bite of rice and peeled a prawn to eat, when she heard someone in the yard call her.

"Sixteen, sixteen ......" is Sun Lan'er's voice.

Sun Lan'er immediately walked into the house, her face a little anxious. "Sixteen, Er Ya is here, something happened. ”
