Chapter 353
Xia Qiao and Tian had already gone back to the front yard first, and only Xiao Shu'er had been following Xia Solstice. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As soon as Info came out of the backyard, Xiao Shu'er saw that there was no one near him, so he made a small report to Xia Solstice in a low voice.
For example, when Xia Solstice asked him to divide candy and snacks, Xiao Shu'er said that he was very dedicated. He didn't keep much of it himself, and distributed it to the big guys. However, he still has some selfish intentions, and there are fewer for Xia Zhu, and even less for May and July.
“…… When I came back, I didn't have anything, I ate our grandfather and our grandmother's. Sister, don't look at them as if they are honest on the outside, I don't think it's any different from the past, they always say bad things about our milk behind their backs, and they plan to ......"
Just as he said this, the two little tails of Layue and Xia Lin followed.
These days, Xia Zhi and Xia Qiao are not at home, and Xiao Shu'er follows Uncle Xia's family to Linshui Town to set up stalls, so his relationship with Layue and Xiao Xialin is very good now.
"Sister Layue, Xiao Linzi, come here. When Xiao Shu'er saw the two people, he stopped talking and beckoned them to come to him.
Layue and Xia Lin ran over with a smile and called Sister around Xia Zhi. The big guys were all together just now, and the two of them couldn't always grab the front, so they didn't have enough intimacy with Xia Zhi.
"Let's go, go up to me. Xia Zhi saw that these two children not only wanted to be close to her, but should still have something to say to her.
She also happened to have something she wanted to ask them.
When the children arrived in the front yard, Xia Zhi heard the voices of Xia Qiao and Tian in the east house. Tian was asking about Xiaqiao Mansion City, and he also asked about the crescent moon.
After eating in the backyard just now, Tian called Xia Qiao away first, and Xia Zhi knew that she would definitely ask Xia Qiao about the crescent moon in private. So now that I heard it, Xia Solstice was not surprised.
Xia Zhi thought about it, and went to the East House to say hello to Tian and Xia Qiao.
"Sister......" The little tree was embarrassed, and she stopped talking.
Summer Solstice didn't understand what was going on. But when she lifted the curtain of the east house and saw Tian and Xia Qiao sitting on the kang head talking, and the kang tip surrounded the curtain, she understood a little.
In the east house, there are not only Tian and Xia Qiao, but also Erya.
Erya was on the kang, and when she heard Xia Solstice coming in, she hurried over to talk, cautious and trembling. Erya's face is not very good.
There was still a person lying on the kang at the top of the kang, who also heard the sound of the summer solstice, and seemed to be struggling to get up.
That's a big girl.
Xia Zhi glanced at the little tree.
Xiao Shu'er secretly stuck out her tongue.
During the days when I went to Fucheng on the summer solstice, a lot of things happened at home. But Xia Zhi just came back, and everyone wanted to tell her that they had to come one by one. Moreover, all they wanted was to push the bad things to the end, and the provincial Xia Zhi came back happily, and before he could sit down, he had to follow the fire in a hurry.
Xia Zhi knew that something bad must have happened, so she didn't ask in detail at the moment, just said hello, let the eldest girl continue to lie down, let the second girl take good care of the eldest girl, and let Tian and Xia Qiao talk about the topic they were talking about just now. Then, she took Layue, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xia Lin to the West House.
Knowing that Xia Zhi was back, Layue and Sun Lan'er helped Xia Zhi clean the house thoroughly early in the morning, and burned the kang for Xia Zhi.
As for the brazier underground, it was prepared by Mrs. Xia, and she asked Xia Qiao to bring it over just now, so that Xia Zhi would be warm as soon as he returned to his house.
Xia Zhi stood underground and looked around.
This house is naturally not as warm as the house where the earth dragon is burned in Fucheng, but her heart is warm.
Not only was the house cleaned up, but even the window paper on the windows was confused. Not only is the window paper pasted new, but the walls are also pasted with paper, which is white and clean.
Layue chirped to Xia Zhi that the window paper and the paper on the wall were all pasted by Mrs. Xia with them. For this matter, Mrs. Xia, who didn't come to the front yard originally, deliberately got close to the Tian family and came to the front yard to give paste, because she was afraid that Layue and Sun Lan'er were still young and couldn't make such a big project.
As for burning the kang and cleaning today, it was Aunt Xia San who came over and led them to do it.
“…… Two firewoods were burned. Sister, if you feel cold, I'll burn you another one. The preserved fish also told Xia Zhi that since the beginning of winter, although no one lives in her house, the kang is burning every day. It's not to prepare for the sudden return of the summer solstice, but to make the house as warm and popular as if it always lives after she returns.
Xia Zhi didn't say anything grateful, but just took the lead to sit on the kang.
The kang was covered with felt, and it was warm to sit on. The things she brought back were still on the kang, and no one had touched them. She didn't specifically instruct her, but Xia Qiao naturally moved to her house when she moved things to the front yard. After all, many of them are things that Xia Zhi uses himself.
On the summer solstice, Layue, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xialin all sat on the kang, and then opened a bag and took out some sugar, snacks, persimmons, and preserved fruits for everyone to eat.
Layue was very diligent, so she went to get a plate and filled all the sweets, and then she ran back to the backyard and came back with frozen pears and frozen persimmons, all of which were placed on the kang.
During this period, Xiao Xialin and Xiao Shu'er have already made a lot of small reports to Xia Zhi sentence by sentence.
For example, Zhang Cai and Luo Juan followed Second Uncle Xia's family back to Daxingzhuang, and they stayed in Xia's house for several days before going to Luo Tun'er. During this period, no one from the Luo family came.
However, after Zhang Cai and Luo Juan went to Luotun'er, they settled there. As for how they are doing now, they don't know how they are doing.
"It's not good. Xiao Shu'er stuffed a piece of hawthorn cake into his mouth and chewed sweetly, "I saw Luo Dongsheng in the last episode, and I saw that he was not happy with his sister living in his house." His daughter-in-law also had an awkward quarrel with him because of this, and almost quarreled at the set, and I saw it. ”
Then he talked about Guo Xi's family.
Xiao Shu'er's expression was exaggerated, and he told Xia Zhi: "They still want to live in Brother Li Xia's house, but our master didn't agree, saying that the house was reserved for Brother Li Xia, and no one else could live in it." ”
The summer solstice is a bit unfamiliar. Old man Xia is a very good-hearted person, who pities the old and the poor, and pities the weak. Guo Xi's family can be said to be in trouble now, and Old Man Xia should take special care of them.
But after thinking about it, today, Old Man Xia specially called Guo Xi's family to eat together, which was also very good to them. didn't let them live in Fangxiing, in the final analysis, it was because of Li Xia.
Li Xia's status in Old Man Xia's mind is extraordinary.
Xia Zhi asked Xiao Shu'er how Guo Xi's family and Second Uncle Xia's family were doing.
"That's it. Xiao Shu'er pouted, "Sister Yuhuan is going to slip her beard." Sister May always asks her to work......"
Layue came back and climbed on the kang to sit with Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi asked her if Uncle Xia's family was honest or not after they came back, and if anything happened.
"It's a lot more subsidence than before. Layue pursed her lips, and then told Xia Solstice everything about these days.
Second Uncle Xia's family returned to Daxingzhuang naked. Although they didn't bring anything with them when they went to Fucheng, this is completely incomparable. Moreover, Second Uncle Xia's family also brought back two families.
The climate of Beizhen Mansion is like this, and so are the customs, after the winter freezes, the people in the countryside have no work to do, and they start to eat cats in winter, consuming the accumulation of this year's hard work.
When Second Uncle Xia's family first left Daxingzhuang, the things were not particularly clean. But then I picked up Xia Yang once, and then Second Uncle Xia came back again. They didn't plan to return to Daxingzhuang, so there was nothing left in the house, and there was no food.
There was no food, and there was no money to buy food.
Layue and Xiao Shu'er both told Xia Zhi that as soon as Second Uncle Xia returned home, he knelt in front of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia. Second Uncle Xia cried and grabbed the ground, on the one hand, he swore to Old Man Xia that the matter of Zhang Qiaoer's two lives had nothing to do with them, and they would not do that kind of immoral thing, on the other hand, he complained to Old Man Xia and said how they were wronged.
Falling to the point where they are now, it is completely because their fate is not good and people are pitted.
At this point, only his father and mother can help him.
Although Second Uncle Xia cried pitifully, Old Man Xia was still hard~ heartfelt, and really taught Second Uncle Xia a lesson. Second Uncle Xia admitted his mistake in front of Old Man Xia, and said that he would definitely farm honestly at home in the future, and never do other delusions.
This is exactly what Old Man Xia wants to hear the most.
After that, Mr. Xia arranged for these people to live, and all the food and clothing should be provided by Mr. Xia. Now Second Uncle Xia's family and Guo Xi's family eat every day from Old Man Xia.
He didn't remember that Fu Tian had come to ask for wheat, and he wanted to sell the land. Layue said indignantly to Xia Zhi.
Although it was the beginning of the summer solstice, some wheat was left. But the big head was still given to Second Uncle Xia, and Xia Zhi bought wheat from Second Uncle Xia with real money.
Second Uncle Xia took the silver away in his pocket, and he didn't say that he wanted to honor Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, let alone take care of his brothers and nephews.
“…… Eating for nothing is not delicious. Xiao Xia Lin also rushed to tell Xia Zhi, saying that he heard them complain behind their backs in May that the food was not delicious, and it was not as good as what they ate in Fucheng. "Eating steamed buns, I still think that the steamed buns are not white enough, hum. It's good to give them food!"
Xiao Xialin's indignation was also milky.
Xia Zhi almost couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard it, because Xiao Xia Lin was cute, but it wasn't because of their behavior in May that they were welcome.
"Then did our master say anything?" Xia Zhi asked again. With her understanding of Old Man Xia, Old Man Xia will definitely have something to say when he makes such an arrangement.
Layue nodded: "Our master said, he will give the rations of himself and our grandmother to the second uncle, and if there is no food, it will be gone." Our master also said that it will be for them to harvest wheat next year, and then they will not provide it. ”
And the supplies of these days are all free of charge.
Old Man Xia also said at the time that when the time comes, Second Uncle Xia's family will serve the wheat field, and after collecting the wheat, he will not refuse to give him and Mrs. Xia, if Second Uncle Xia doesn't give it, he doesn't want it, after all, Second Uncle Xia's family has several mouths to eat. He was a father and raised such a son, it was his bad luck, and he admitted it.
But Old Man Xia also said it. When Second Uncle Xia's family came back, their ten acres of land had already been planted, and it was planted by Old Man Xia and his family. Old man Xia said that he could contribute to his son for nothing as a father, but there was no such obligation between brothers. The brothers also have a large family to support.
"When the wheat was harvested, our master said to let the second uncle give us wheat. "This includes Uncle Xia's family, as well as Xia Zhi's share.
Old Man Xia said very clearly at that time, he asked Second Uncle Xia to take out one-fifth of the harvest to give Third Uncle Xia and Xia Zhi two shares.
Xia Zhi nodded when he heard this, Old Man Xia's treatment is very fair.
However, Layue, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xia Lin were not very happy, they were unhappy for Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia. If Second Uncle Xia was filial to the second old man before, then forget it, but Second Uncle Xia never thought of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia when he was rich outside.
"Their old people have enough to eat for our grandfather and grandmother for several days. "If there are only rations for Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, it will not be enough to supply Second Uncle Xia's family and Guo Xi.
The boundaries of some of these things are blurred.
Children can't calculate so finely, but they understand the general reason. If it weren't for the fact that the little black fish didn't eat the food at home, it would be equivalent to following the summer solstice now, and there were also two of them who paid filial piety to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia. In fact, this big family has a share in providing for Second Uncle Xia's family and Guo Xi's family.
Old Man Xia must also understand this truth, and it is estimated that he should also tell Second Uncle Xia in private, let Second Uncle Xia remember the benefits of his brothers and nephews.
Xia Zhi thought about it, and asked Layue to leave this matter alone. "They have a conscience, and they will return the grain when they harvest it later. Even if they don't return it, they can have a heart of gratitude. "After all, it's a big family, and besides, they also have to take into account Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.
My dad said the same. I'm afraid that they won't even have that heart at all. Layue said that she also told Xia Zhu about Xia Zhu, "...... Bullying Xiao Linzi behind his back, coaxing Xiao Linzi to take his tongue ~ lick the ice. ”
Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows, Xia Zhu, the bear child, was not honest when he reached this step. "You didn't beat him?"
"I—I scolded him. My father didn't let it make a big deal and said that Brother Erzhu was not sensible. ”
"Fourth sister, uncle is back. I, I'll go tell my uncle and let him beat him!" Xiao Xia Lin hurriedly spoke.
"Good. Xia Zhi responded with a smile, because Xiao Xia Lin's appearance was so cute, Xia Zhi didn't control his hand, and pinched Xia Lin's chubby face.
Xiao Xia Lin immediately became shy.
A few children talked for a long time, but Xia Solstice knew that they hadn't gotten to the point yet. The main thing about them coming over with her in such a hurry was not to say these things.
The summer solstice is not in a hurry.
"Fourth sister, second uncle, they want to learn French fries with us!"
This is exactly what Xiao Shu'er wants to say to Xia Solstice.
