Chapter 21: The House
"Well, it's a little hard to ......" Natsuki's eyes rolled and scratched his head, "Hmm...... It's not impossible to do it......"
"And then?" Xia Solstice squinted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sister, I've done this well, you, can you tell Uncle and let me play with Daqing?" Natsuki looked at Xia Solstice with big eyes shining brightly.
"Deal!" Xia Zhi decisively agreed, "I can't let my father and mother know." ”
"Absolutely. Natsuki almost danced with joy.
The sister and brother high-fived, and the matter was settled.
After that, Xia Zhi watched Xia Shu do his best, pestering Xia Xiucai and Tian like twisted candy. The two of them finally didn't hold on, although they felt that Xia Shu was in the way, but they still brought this little son with them.
Seeing the carriage go away, the summer solstice waved.
Natsuki waved as well.
Tian was suspicious: "Xiao Shu'er, why are you so good with your sister?"
"Hey, hey. Natsuki only smiled, but did not speak.
Xia Xiucai didn't care: "Xiao Shu'er has grown up and is sensible." He was brought up by the sixteen gang, and of course the relationship is good. ”
Because there was still a big deal in his heart, Tian didn't delve into it.
When I came back from the summer solstice, I began to clean up the Westinghouse. Xia Qiao didn't go to the field, and stayed to help Xia Zhi. Some of the miscellaneous items piled up in the west room were moved to the hall and east room, and some were placed outside the house.
There is a simple shed outside the house, and firewood is usually stacked to protect it from the sun and rain.
The miscellaneous items were moved out, and the room looked much more spacious and bright. Xia Qiao also cleaned up some tattered tables, chairs and benches, went out to borrow a guy's business, and came back to Jingjing, planning to make up a set of tables and stools for Xia Zhi.
The summer solstice is in charge of cleaning. While he was busy working, someone in the front yard was talking. Xia Zhi stood on the kang and walked to the window to take a look.
It was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, of medium build, with a delicate face, and a large black braid dragging behind her head.
"Sister Lanzi. Summer Solstice greeted crisply.
Sun Lan'er heard Xia Zhi's voice, responded with a smile, and walked into the house quickly. She stood down in the hall and called Brother Ohashi again.
Xia Qiao, who was working, hurriedly stood up and smiled gently at Sun Lan'er. "Lanzi is here, come into the house, sixteen is in the house. ”
"Hey. Sun Lan'er answered, stepped into the Westinghouse, and then was taken aback, "Sixteen, what are you doing here?"
Xia Zhi told Sun Lan'er what he said about cleaning up the house.
"Sixteen, you take a break. "Sun Lan'er is very happy for the summer solstice. She took out an egg from her arms and stuffed it in Xia Zhi's hand, while snatching the rag in Xia Zhi's hand and working for Xia Zhi.
Holding the eggs that are still warm, the summer solstice is warm in my heart. Sun Lan'er lives next door to Xia Zhi's house, is Xiao Xia Zhi's best friend, and usually takes care of Xiao Xia Zhi very much. Xiao Xia Zhi also likes this big sister who is two years older than her and is gentle and beautiful in her eyes.
The conditions of Sun Lan'er's family are not very good, and her situation at home is even worse, and she is not a person who can eat eggs. Although this is the case, occasionally if she gets something delicious, even if Sun Lan'er is reluctant to eat it, she will quietly bring it to the summer solstice.
"Sister Lanzi, this egg ......" Xia Zhi looked at Sun Lan'er and asked her in a low voice.
"My mother touched one less egg last night, and I picked it up when no one saw it. Sixteen, my sister will cook the fire for you to eat. Sun Lan'er also lowered her voice, and her big eyes danced with joy.
"Okay, we'll make a meal in a moment. Hearing her say this, Xia Zhi also smiled and put away the eggs very happily.
"Sixteen, what happened to your eldest brother, ......" While helping Xia Zhi work, Sun Lan'er asked Xia Zhi at the same time. She went out to work with her father for the past two days, and heard about the summer solstice, but she never had time or opportunity to come over to ask.
"That's the end of it. "Xia Solstice didn't say too much detail, only the general situation.
Sun Lan'er breathed a sigh of relief for Xia Zhi. "Scares me enough. If that's the case, it's better to be Sister Da Yue'er. It's all set, and there won't be a repetition, right?"
"No, it won't. Xia Zhi's tone was very affirmative. Things have come to this point, even the Tian family will not let her marry Tian Dabao again. Moreover, even if the Tian family regrets it in the future, she can withstand it this time, and she will definitely do it in the future.
"That's good, I'm relieved. Confirming that the little sister was no longer in danger of marrying a fool, Sun Lan'er's heart was completely relaxed. She looked around the house, helping Xia Zhi come up with ideas on how to clean up the house.
"Sixteen, I still have a lot of jicama seeds, so I'll make you a curtain. ”
There are no curtains in the house on the summer solstice, and the curtains made of jicama seeds are most suitable for summer, which is beautiful, cool, and can also prevent mosquitoes.
"Okay. The two discussed it and told Xia Qiao.
Xia Qiao smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "The wooden frame belongs to me, and I will be able to make it for you in a while." ”
"We are also fast in stringing curtains, and today we will let Sixteen hang up the new curtains. Sun Lan'er said with a smile and hurried home to get jicama seeds.
"Then I'll go to the backyard to go to the line. As Xia Zhi spoke, he went to the backyard.
In the upper house, Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were there, and when they saw that the summer solstice was coming, the old couple beckoned her to sit on the kang.
"Your father and your mother are on the backer?" asked Old Man Xia.
"Hmm. "Xia Zhi will definitely not help Xia Xiucai and the Tian family hide it. "I didn't know how to discuss it last night, but today I took a big bag and went away. It seems that he is planning to pay Dabao to marry his daughter-in-law. ”
"Expected. Old Man Xia sighed.
"Master, don't be anxious for them, let them toss. Xia Zhi said, and then immediately added, "If they plan to sell me to raise money for Dabao to marry a daughter-in-law, you must take care of it." ”
Old Man Xia couldn't laugh or cry because of what Xia Zhi said, and then sighed deeply: "Sixteen, your sister Da Yue'er's business, the master is here, and the master is desperately trying to stop it." It's a pity that you sister Da Yue'er...... That kid, ......."
"Master, I know, don't be sad about this, maybe you can get better in the future. Xia Zhi hurriedly said.
"Well," Old Man Xia nodded, "just borrow our sixteenth auspicious words." ”
"Hee-hee," Xia Zhi smiled, because he didn't see the little black fish, so he asked, knowing that the little black fish went out to play again. "Grandpa, grandma, I discussed with my father, and the house I live in is going to be cleaned up. Xia Zhi said that he would clean up the house, and said that Sun Lan'er would help with the curtains.
Mrs. Xia immediately asked, "Then what is missing, see if grandma has this." ”
"Milk, I'm still missing the thread for the curtain. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
"I happen to have it here. Mrs. Xia went down to the ground, opened the cabinet and took out a roll of fishing line and gave it to Xia Zhi.
