Chapter 445: Taste
Mrs. Tian told Li Shanchang about her perception of the Xia family today. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info invited the Xia family to dinner today, on the one hand, it was a courtesy exchange, and on the other hand, Mrs. Tian also had the intention of appreciating and evaluating the Xia family.
In the past, she only recognized one Xia Solstice, one Xia Xiucai and a little black fish. This is the difference in the temperament of the three people, which can be said to be quite large. Seeing so many people in the Xia family today, she felt that she had a deeper understanding of the Xia family.
“…… Although the old man is not famous, he looks like a very famous old man in the township, and I heard that he has also studied. The old lady was a man who had seen the world, and had a good temperament and good speech. "Mrs. Tian can't find anything wrong with Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.
"The third son and third daughter-in-law of the Xia family are honest countrymen, and they don't hate it. Those young people and children ......," Mrs. Tian paused, "Although their personalities are not quite the same, they are all decent, and the Xia family's tutor is not bad." ”
Li Shanchang smiled: "Madame's words are very fair. ”
"You and I are what kind of person. Is it because ...... Am I going to send people crookedly? Mrs. Tian glanced at Li Shanchang.
"I knew Madame wasn't like that. It's just that every time Li Xia mentions the summer solstice, you are like that. The same is true for the summer solstice. I don't know you, I'm afraid I'm going to misunderstand you. Li Shanchang said with a smile.
"If she misunderstood, she misunderstood. Do I care?" Madame Tian raised her eyebrows again.
Li Shanchang smiled silently.
"Summer solstice, this girl...... is a warm-hearted person, with a full mind and vision, and he is also very open-minded. After a pause, Mrs. Tian said again.
"If she is not enthusiastic, I am afraid that she will not get to know our son. Li Shanchang said. As for how Li Xia met Xia Zhi at the beginning, although Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian still can't fully understand the details, they still know the general situation.
Mrs. Tian ignored this remark, and she continued to talk about Tian.
Although she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and she didn't say anything out of the ordinary, but with such a big family, including relatives and neighbors, she still seemed out of place. ”
After only seeing one face, Mrs. Tian found that the Tian family and the Xia family were not on good terms, including Tian's own daughter Xia Zhi.
"He looks like a beautiful person, who knew he was so left-handed. Mrs. Tian frowned slightly. She was very attentive to the Tian family, and also paid special attention to whether there was anything similar between the summer solstice and the Tian family.
"Some of them look a little similar, but the others don't look like each other in the slightest. Saying this, Mrs. Tian seemed a little lost.
Li Shanchang knew very well what Tian was thinking, and he also understood Mrs. Tian's subtle thoughts. He just smiled and didn't speak.
Between husband and wife, for men, silence is golden a lot of the time. Moreover, Li Shanchang is not a person who talks much.
"I inquired, but I heard a lot about this talented lady. Speaking of which, the little girl on the summer solstice is not easy either. There is such a mother who can't get on the table and has to pull her hind legs all the time. I heard that her mother's family still has a large account that is not clear. Xia Xiucai didn't seem to have any way at all. ”
"yes. Li Shanchang sighed, "He has learned everything." However, I have watched coldly over the years, and he is excellent at teaching students. But when it comes to practice, it's a little bit worse. ”
"I can see it too. I'm afraid that in the future, the affairs of their big family, inside and out, will have to fall on Xia Zhi's body. Mrs. Tian said.
"That's why she has this talent, otherwise she wouldn't be able to carry this burden. She shouldn't be responsible for her family's seniority and age. Li Shanchang said.
"Xia Xiucai's wife also brought a niece with her, but she didn't bring it today. Mrs. Tian glanced at Li Shanchang. She hadn't seen Erya's face yet.
"I saw it once in the academy, and it was not a family with the Xia family. It's not comparable to the little girls who came today. Li Shanchang said.
Mrs. Tian understood: "That's not on the table." I also heard that their aunt and nephew have not been idle these days, and they don't know what kind of trouble will come out in the future. ”
"Madame, you are very concerned about these things. Li Shanchang glanced at Mrs. Tian meaningfully.
Mrs. Tian laughed twice: "Can I not pay attention." I'll have to watch it on, and I'm going to see what Xia Solstice does with this big family. ”
Li Shanchang also smiled, and then he glanced at Mrs. Tian again.
"What do you mean by that look?" asked Mrs. Tian sensitively.
"I just think Madame is radiant and radiant today...... Li Shanchang said with a smile.
Mrs. Tian's face was slightly red, and she took a sip gently. "I'm old, and I'm still so unserious. Let our son see what to do. ”
"Our son is either sleeping now, or reading and doing his homework, how did he come to us. Li Shan smiled.
"It's not dignified to let the girls see it. When Mrs. Tian said this, she didn't really blame Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang smiled and thought of Li Xia. His youngest son was smart when he was a child, but when he grew up, he learned to be smart and introverted. Mrs. Tian, who pays attention to the Xia family like this, is actually guided by Li Xia. She had unconsciously fallen into her youngest son's trap, but she didn't know it yet.
Li Shanchang knows his wife very well.
Mrs. Tian is not a mean person. On the contrary, Mrs. Tian is quite honest and fair. The temperament of his two sons is somewhat following Mrs. Tian to a certain extent. The eldest son is more like Mrs. Tian, and now he is an official, and he is a little too upright. Fortunately, he is familiar with everything in officialdom and can handle it easily.
As for the youngest son, Li Xia is more mellow and flexible. If the youngest son becomes an official in the future, he will definitely have a better future than his eldest brother's. But now he can't see that his youngest son has the intention of becoming an official.
He decided that he didn't want to think about these things for the time being, and he wanted to write another word while he was in a good mood now. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the summer solstice woke up to the sound of firecrackers. Although her yard is not deep, the sound insulation of the house is not bad. As soon as Xia Zhi woke up, he knew that his family was setting off firecrackers.
Sun Lan'er and Sun Xiu'er have already gotten up. They were grooming, and when they saw Xia Solstice sitting up, they all laughed, asking if they had woken up Xia Solstice, and asking Xia Solstice if they wanted to sleep a little longer.
"We're having fun, but we're tired of you. Sun Lan'er and Sun Xiu'er both said.
Xia Solstice also got up to freshen up, she said that it wasn't that they woke her up, she wasn't tired, she just liked the big guys to be lively together.
"Let's say we're setting off firecrackers. It can't be anyone else, it's definitely my uncle. "The summer solstice said.
Sun Lan'er and Sun Xiu'er both laughed and said that Xia Zhi guessed correctly. "Uncle got up early. Let's go and set off firecrackers. Big ~ Milk is good to say that it is to stop, this will say that the time is not early, you have to run out and put it. ”
It was not only Xiao Heiyuer who set off firecrackers, but also Xiao Shu'er, Xiao Xia Lin, the eldest brother of the Chen family, Uncle Xia and Xia Qiao also went to watch.
As they spoke, they came out of the inner room, and Mrs. Xia was sorting out her clothes, and she smiled when she saw Xia Zhi.
"Have you gotten up?"
The summer solstice said that the rest was very good. Then Mrs. Xia complained that the little black fish was making trouble, saying that the little black fish must have woken up the summer solstice with firecrackers.
Of course, the summer solstice will not care. "It's time for me to get up, it's okay with my uncle. She did sleep well, and she was actually happy to be woken up by the sound of firecrackers in her house. No one can be angry about this.
The sound of firecrackers outside gradually stopped, and then the little black fish rushed in from the outside like a small cannonball out of the chamber. He saw the summer solstice at a glance.
"Sixteen, are you up? Ha, you didn't see us firing the artillery. Why don't we put it on again. ”
"Come on, you hurry up and wash up, it's time to eat. Mrs. Xia hurriedly stopped the little black fish and said that he woke up the summer solstice.
The little black fish looked at Xia Solstice carefully: "Sixteen, did I wake you up?"
"No, I don't. My scare you. Xia Zhi laughed and asked the little black fish to quickly listen to Mrs. Xia's handwashing. In fact, she is used to being woken up by the little black fish. Many mornings, it was Xiao Heiyuer and Daqing who came to wake her up.
"What about Daqing?" Xia Zhi asked.
"In the kitchen. The little black fish told Xia Zhi'er, "I just asked him for a few pieces of meat and bones." ”
Mrs. Xia counted the little black fish again, saying that Daqing's food is very good now, and the bones left over from the big guy's meal are enough for Daqing to gnaw, and the little black fish should not feed Daqing meat and bones.
“…… How old are you, this big spender. As you do, you can spend as much money as you want. "Mrs. Xia has a heart that loves her little son, so she always trains him.
The little black fish was silent. He almost never talked back to Mrs. Xia, but in his heart he felt that his mother was very nagging. Xia Solstice won't nag about such a trivial matter, Xia Solstice is the best with him, and it's not annoying at all.
"I said I don't listen to this kid. Mrs. Xia was angry and laughed. Of course, she wasn't really angry with the little black fish.
It's a big holiday, and the big guys are in a good mood.
After the little black fish was washed, Old Man Xia came in from outside with his hands behind his back. The old man didn't work every day when he arrived, he couldn't be idle, and when he got up in the morning, he would go to the garden to take a turn first. If that wasn't enough, he would go out and take a walk around the neighborhood before coming back.
The big guys are all gathered, and the summer solstice asks the kitchen to put breakfast up, and the big guys sit down to eat.
"Your father and you~ didn't your mother come?" asked Old Man Xia.
"I guess I'm going to come back after breakfast. "The summer solstice said.
"Are you going out to greet the boss?" Mrs. Xia helped the little black fish to fill a soup bag, told the little black fish not to burn her mouth, and then casually asked the old man Xia.
"Nope. I'll just take a walk. Old Man Xia stopped talking.
After breakfast, Xia Zhi discussed with Mrs. Xia and others about the festival. The menu for this meal has already been listed, and the summer solstice also let Mrs. Xia see if she wants to add something.
Mrs. Xia said that it was all good, and there was no need to add more. "If we have to add to this, we won't be able to put our table on the table. Mrs. Xia smiled. The meals prepared here on the summer solstice were much more sumptuous than the ones they had at home for the New Year.
The summer solstice made the kitchen add a dish: "Fry a plate of Lantern Festival." I love to eat this. It is estimated that my uncle, Layue, Xiaolinzi, and Chen Xinger all love to eat. ”
While they were talking, Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo came with Changsheng and Guo Zhuzhu.
Mrs. Xia was surprised and delighted: "Why did you come so early?" I also said that you have a lot of things to do at home, and I don't know when you will come. ”
"It's a lot, but it's almost ready. Let's come over early, the big guys are chattering together. Aunt Xia said.
Mrs. Xia laughed.
The big guy talked together for a while, and then divided into several batches. Old Man Xia, Third Uncle Xia and Uncle Guo were talking about those old topics in the hall. The boys and the boys go out to set off firecrackers. The girls compare clothes and jewelry with each other in one place. Mrs. Xia, Aunt Xia, Aunt Xia and Aunt Xia were talking in one place.
“…… You haven't seen it yet, and I'll tell you when I see it. The person who is long is an ordinary person, but he is quite slender. She can talk and do things, she is the eldest in the family, and I think she has a sister. Back ~ into the door, can help the eternal life. Our own children know that Changsheng is honest and kind, but his temperament is soft~ soft. ”
So find a capable daughter-in-law and live a better life in the future.
This is Aunt Xia's idea.
Different people think differently. Xia Zhi knew that if he was a different kind of person, he knew that his son was soft ~ soft, so he might want to find a more honest daughter-in-law, not only could he hold it, but his son could also hold his daughter-in-law, and he could control his daughter-in-law in the future, but he would not be controlled by his daughter-in-law.
Personally, Xia Zhi appreciates Aunt Xia's approach. This is the open-mindedness that a family member should have who can live a better and better life.
"Sixteen has seen her, and I should have told you. You'll see it in two days. ”
"Sixteen said that the eldest daughter-in-law is serious and handsome. Aunt Xia said.
Aunt Xia smiled: "It's just an ordinary person." Sixteen is a pro-incense statement. ”
Then he talked about the arrangements for the wedding feast. When it comes to this topic, Aunt Xia has a lot to say. How many people are going to come to the bride's house, how many tables of banquets they have to prepare, where are the cooks invited, how much money is the standard of each table, and so on.
These things may sound trivial, but Xia Solstice is quite interested.
After talking for a while, Xia Xiucai and Tian have not yet arrived. Old Man Xia asked in the hall. Xia Zhi went out in a hurry and found someone to go to Wenshan Academy to pick up Xia Xiucai and Tian.
Then she came back, and Aunt Xia said that maybe Xia Xiu was delayed.
"Possibly. Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, but he didn't think like this in his heart. She gave Aunt Xia a look, and the two said that they wanted to go to the kitchen to have a look, and walked out of the house.
