Chapter 424: Keeping the New Year
"Is it his grandfather who won't let them go? Your Lao Xia family is too good at abusing people! What do you think of all the people in our Lao Tian family, thinking that you can just take some broken things? What is the most important thing about rules and etiquette, and the people who follow the rules and etiquette can not let the mother take the child to see his grandfather!"
Xia Xiucai was silent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He actually meant well, in order to make Tian not so sad, he said that Old Man Xia stopped him, and no child was allowed to go to the backer. Unexpectedly, the Tian family also provoked Old Man Xia's reasoning.
In this way, Xia Xiucai let Tian abuse and complain for a long time, but he didn't say a word back or explain. Although Tian scolded fiercely, he didn't want to go to the backyard to quarrel with Old Man Xia as before.
In the end, Tian had no strength to scold, so he stumbled and said. "If you don't go, you won't go, and if you don't have it, everyone will live the same life. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice for me to go back with you? Children, let them get it at home. Xia Xiucai just said.
Tian glared at Xia Xiucai hatefully, and she couldn't do anything to Xia Xiucai who couldn't fight back and scolded and didn't fight back. However, complaining about these is not over, for the old man Xia proposed that the eldest girl and the second girl can go back with them, the Tian family is still careful, thinking that this is the old man Xia's eyes can't tolerate the eldest girl and the second girl, and wants to take this opportunity to send the eldest girl and the second girl back to the mountain.
"What a family background, show talent, I didn't take advantage of you to have any good light. I didn't pop out of the cracks in the stones, my mother's family entrusted me with this, and I picked my nose and eyes. If you don't say anything directly, pretend to be a good person, and change the law......"
Tian's words have been crooked to the limit.
Even Xia Xiucai, who has infinite tolerance for the Tian family, can't stand it anymore.
"What are you talking about, the eldest girl and the second girl are here, when did his grandfather and his grandmother in the backyard say a bad word, there is delicious food and drink, and the eldest girl and the second girl have never been left behind, and they have sent this and that. Isn't it a bit of a shame for you to say this? Even if I owe you, his grandfather and grandmother don't owe you...... "I don't owe the eldest and second girls."
But Xia Xiu didn't say the last sentence. He has always been gentle in his words, especially with Tian. The words were a little more intense, and the Tian family didn't do much on their side, so he blushed first.
"You go to the backyard, don't come with me, you carry your luggage to the backyard and go with your father and your mother. Tian said. What she said was unreasonable, but she didn't even mention that Old Man Xia looked down on the eldest girl and the second girl.
The eldest girl and the second girl hid in the kang tip, and saw that Tian and Xia Xiucai were arguing. The two of them were worried in their hearts, but fortunately, they still had some eyes, and they all came over to persuade Tian and Xia Xiucai at this time.
One of them persuaded Tian not to be angry, and if he had something to say, he could tell Xia Xiucai well. The other shouted at his uncle, saying that it was not easy for my uncle, so Xia Xiucai let Tian do a little.
After all, the Chinese New Year is not good-looking and unlucky.
Xia Xiucai has a good temper, and he does pity the Tian family from the bottom of his heart, so he eases up by taking this step. "The backyard is well-intentioned, the eldest girl and the second girl have also been here for a few days, the New Year's Day, go back and see, the family gathers, isn't it human nature. Are you happy to go back, let's ask the eldest girl and the second girl. Xia Xiucai discussed with Tian very kindly.
Tian also felt that no matter how much he quarreled with Xia Xiucai, he couldn't make any noise, but he was even more sullen in his heart. She raised her eyes and looked at the eldest and second girls.
"Otherwise, you two will go back with me and your uncle. It's been a year too......"
The eldest and second girls both shrank visibly. You look at me, and I look at you, and they don't want to speak.
"Are you happy or unhappy, are you talking?" Tian's anger had not subsided, so seeing the eldest girl and the second girl soaring so slowly, she couldn't say a word of pleasure, so she added a layer of anger.
The eldest girl and the second girl are very entangled. To say that they don't want to go back to see their families at all is not true. Don't talk about others, they still want to meet their mothers. But they are even more afraid that they will not be able to come back this time.
In case, their grandmother found them an in-law for a while, what ...... The eldest girl and the second girl glanced at each other, and both of them thought of their second aunt Tian Daidi at the same time, and there was also a big aunt Tian Zhaodi who didn't know life and death, but must have had a difficult time.
"Aunt, either or not, we won't go back. This back and forth, you have to throw away something on the way, me, me and Erya, we will show you home. In the end, it was the eldest girl who spoke first.
Erya didn't speak, just nodded again and again.
Tian looked at the eldest and second girls with a calm face.
The eldest girl and the second girl were weak-hearted and lowered their heads.
Somehow, Tian suddenly felt empty in his heart, his anger was gone, and he had no ideas. "If you two don't want to go back, then don't go back. ”
The eldest girl and the second girl were visibly relieved, but both of them tried not to show it. It's a pity that they are not the kind of people who like to walk and show off.
Not only Tian, but Xia Xiucai also saw it clearly.
Xia Xiucai sighed secretly in his heart.
Tian went to rummage ~ Xia Xiucai brought the snack box and wine. Although she disliked that there were not enough gifts, the price of these three things was not cheap, and it was very, very decent.
“…… Whoever makes you have no money, you have to have money, let's buy better than this. I still need to receive someone's affection!" Tian said with an eyebrow.
Xia Xiucai just smiled.
At this time, Xiao Xia Lin came over and said that Mrs. Xia asked Tian to take the eldest and second girls to the backyard to make dumplings if they were free.
Xiao Xia Lin ran away after passing the word.
Tian didn't use Xia Xiucai's persuasion, so he packed up and took the eldest girl and the second girl to the backyard. Xia Xiucai naturally followed.
When they arrived in the backyard, Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia were already busy with Aunt Xia and Aunt Xia. Summer Solstice occupies a chopping board and is chopping green onions and ginger. Tian looked around, but he didn't see anyone cutting vegetables.
"What kind of stuffing is this?" Tian asked.
"Wrap a meatball. "The summer solstice said. The so-called meatballs, different from vegetable and meat filling, only use meat as the filling, and do not add vegetables to it, only add some seasoning such as green onion and ginger.
Tian glanced at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi smiled, obviously in a good mood: "My grandfather said, after a big year, the dumplings in these thirty nights will not be added, and the big guys will also eat a high taste." ”
The laughter of Second Uncle Xia came out of the house, and he was patting Mrs. Xia's ass, saying that the meatball-filled dumplings made by Mrs. Xia were particularly delicious.
Tian sneered, lowered his voice and spoke to Xia Zhi: "Your second uncle is a dog, so he will see his relatives who eat." ”
Xia Zhi almost couldn't help laughing, because when she raised her eyes and saw that Aunt Xia and May were nearby, she couldn't help but not laugh.
After Tian's praise and depreciation of Second Uncle Xia, he seemed to be in a much more relaxed mood. However, she didn't help Xia Zhi cut green onions and ginger, but walked to Aunt Xia's side, helping Aunt Xia to peel garlic, and talking to Aunt Xia about Zhang Fang.
On the one hand, Aunt Xia especially wanted to show off Zhang Fang, but on the other hand, she was instructed by Second Uncle Xia and May, and the matter was still undecided, so she couldn't let the Tian family know too much. Tian's person is also a strong pinch, and when the time comes, he will break the wedge for them, and what if he mixes up his relatives again.
Because of such contradictory thoughts, Aunt Xia spoke meaningfully, half-hidden and half-exposed.
Tian didn't inquire about anything, so he turned his attention to Guo Yuhuan. "You are blessed with the second daughter-in-law, how old is the second pillar, and this daughter-in-law has been led into the door. ”
Second Aunt Xia likes to listen to this: "What a blessing, that's fate." "Or is she blessed.
Tian sneered: "...... I don't know if I can live or not. ”
Aunt Xia immediately didn't like to listen to it. “…… Can you still let her run?"
"Then you can hold it tight, don't let go. Tian said, and then turned around lightly and entered the house.
Aunt Xia's brain is not as fast as Tian's, and her mouth is not as fast as Tian's, and she can hear that Tian's words are not taste, but Tian's is gone, and she can only take the garlic in her hand to spill her anger.
Because the people who work are very sufficient, Xia Zhi was busy for a while, and then Mrs. Xia let her into the house and let her play with the little black fish, Xiao Xia Lin, and Chen Xing'er.
"You'll get started when you're packed. Mrs. Xia said with a smile.
Xia Zhi also sat on the kang and brought the little radish heads to his side. Because it was already dark, the dumplings had to wait for a while before they could be eaten, and Mrs. Xia was worried that the children were hungry, so she brought a lot of balls to them to eat.
After the little radish head was eaten, it became more energetic, and the little black fish went out and set off firecrackers again.
In this era, there are very few entertainment programs for the New Year's Eve of the villagers. Some people will get together to play horse hanging, or fight leaf cards, usually with colorful heads. But because the Xia family is very strict with Old Man Xia, he himself will not play these, and he will not let the people in the family play.
Therefore, the people of the Xia family, except for Second Uncle Xia who learned some after going to Fucheng, and Second Aunt Xia knew how to play when she was a girl, none of the others could play.
Then, of course, there was no Spring Festival party to watch, so the big guys could only sit together and drink tea, eat peanuts and melon seeds, and chat.
“…… Let's be close to each other, but you didn't go to Fucheng, it is estimated that the two children are old, and we still have to be in-laws......" Guo Xi took the initiative to talk to Second Uncle Xia about Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan's family affairs in front of Old Man Xia.
When Changsheng came, he asked Changsheng to give a message to Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo. After that, Uncle Guo sent a letter to Guo Xi. Guo Xi didn't show the content of the letter to anyone, he seemed to ponder for two days, and then his attitude towards Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan's family affairs became particularly clear.
"Our two children, that is the fate of marriage. "Second Uncle Xia was eating and drinking, and because the heat in the room was steaming, it was estimated that he was still happy, so his face was red.
The more the two of them talked, the more harmonious they became, and in the end, they both told Old Man Xia that they would handle Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan's family affairs as soon as possible.
Old Man Xia has already thought about a lot of things. Moreover, now that Second Uncle Xia also has an income, he can live a completely life.
"You two just have to discuss it. I'm a generation's next generation, just waiting to hold my grandson. "How old are Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan, even if they get married, they can't have a round house, and as for the great-grandson, it is even more of a shadow.
However, Old Man Xia didn't mention that Xia Qiao would marry first.
Second Uncle Xia was entangled. He was glad that Old Man Xia didn't put Xia Qiao in front of him anymore, but Old Man Xia said that he didn't plan to arrange the expenses of Xia Zhu's marriage.
If it were someone else, it might be embarrassing. But Second Uncle Xia has never been a person who will be embarrassed.
"Dad, you said that the next generation, the next generation is close. Your grandson is a daughter-in-law, I don't have any ability to be a father, so I have to rely on you to be old. Then he called Xia Zhu, "Erzhu, come, kowtow to you~ master, and let you~ master set you a daughter-in-law." ”
It's as if it's a routine that has been rehearsed in distress. Xia Zhu came over happily, knelt down and kowtowed to Old Man Xia.
Old Man Xia glanced at Second Uncle Xia with squinted eyes, and he knew very well what this son thought. The second son is too unproductive, and he loves to take advantage. Originally, he planned to give Xia Zhu the money for his daughter-in-law, which was nothing. But when the big guys weren't there just now, Mrs. Xia reminded him of a few words.
The Xia family's current life is prosperous, in the final analysis, it is because of the summer solstice. This interaction with the city is also because of the summer solstice.
Not to mention the distance, the Xia family even ate and took a few shares during the New Year, was that all earned by his old man Xia. The big guys eat the summer solstice.
The summer solstice is generous, values family affection, filial piety to their old couple, is happy for them, and is willing to let the big guy eat. But they can't always take the generosity of the summer solstice as a favor.
Especially Second Uncle Xia, we have to wean him early. In the future, there can be a small subsidy, for example, the big guy comes to eat and drink, which is nothing. But it is necessary to distinguish clearly in major matters.
They can't take care of all the things that their grandsons have to do. It's not that I don't talk about it, there will definitely be a lot of tongue at that time, and good things will turn into bad things. Moreover, let Second Uncle Xia develop the habit of relying on them, Second Uncle Xia became even more lazy and did not want to make progress.
After listening to Mrs. Xia's persuasion, Old Man Xia was like an initiation. Therefore, although Second Uncle Xia was coquettish in the sand pool, and his grandson kowtowed in front of him again, Old Man Xia still made up his mind and did not let go.
"Erzhu is my grandson, Daqiao, Xiaoshuer, Xiaolin, and Xiaoyangna are also my grandsons. I can take care of one, but I can ignore the second. In the future, you will have to be reborn. I am old, you are all in your prime, I do not seek your blessings, but you must also bear all the things that are due......"
After saying these things righteously, Old Man Xia's tone softened again. He looked at Second Uncle Xia, his eyes were a little deep.
"The second child, it is said that it is a long life of 100 years, and it is rare for people to live to 100. I'm always ahead of you, and who can you rely on when the time comes? Now rely on me, and then rely on your son and daughter? So what are you doing? Second child, dad is for your good. "Old man Xia said seriously.
Second Uncle Xia had a smile on his face, and he was very disapproving.
Xia Zhi watched clearly from the side, and Old Man Xia was really a loving father.
