In the upper house, Mrs. Xia had just looked at the situation of her face, and now she was taking out her money bag to count the money. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "Sixteen, let's buy some food tomorrow morning." ”

"If you eat steamed buns, then let's fetch water tofu. I'll make a little more marinade, the big guy I watch loves to eat that marinade today. "The summer solstice said.

"That's fine. Mrs. Xia nodded with a smile, and then counted the money out of her money bag. The ingredients for the meals of the wheat cut in the past few days are all the money spent by Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia. The old man and the old lady were very happy, and they didn't plan to let Xia Zhi or Uncle Xia San pay for it.

"We want a lot of water tofu, I'm afraid we have to go to the tofu shop in advance. Xia Solstice said thoughtfully.

"Wait for you to say that the third uncle will come back, let him decide. Mrs. Xia said.

"My third uncle is estimated to be back tomorrow morning. Xia Zhi said, "At that time, it will be too late to set water tofu." Milk, I'll go. ”

Saying this, Xia Zhi counted the money and jumped off the kang to go to the tofu workshop.

Mrs. Xia didn't worry about her going alone. "Let you~ your mother take care of the house, and the milk will be your companion. This black light is blinding, and I don't know when it will rain. How can I let you go alone? ”

Saying this, Mrs. Xia also got off the kang, packed up her clothes, and planned to go to the tofu shop with Xia Zhi.

In fact, it is appropriate for Tian to do such a thing. But Mrs. Xia never called Tian's family, and she really liked and felt sorry for Xia Zhi, so she would rather accompany Xia Zhi by herself.

Xia Zhi felt that it was obviously inappropriate to let Tian be a young one at home, but let Mrs. Xia accompany her with an old one.

Moreover, Mrs. Xia still has to watch the noodles at home, and at the same time has to take care of the little black fish and Xiao Xia Lin.

"Milk, you don't have to go, I'll let my mother be my companion. The two of us went together. "The summer solstice said. In fact, the local folk customs in the countryside of this era are still very simple, and she is not timid, it doesn't matter if she goes to the tofu shop alone.

But if she did this, Mrs. Xia must be very worried, and she would definitely not agree. Therefore, Xia Zhi said to let Tian be his companion.

"You~ mother......" Mrs. Xia glanced outside, and said to Xia Zhi again, "Why don't you let your uncle accompany you." ”

"Don't. Xia Zhi hurriedly stopped Mrs. Xia, "My uncle hasn't stopped all day, and it's hard to sleep for a while, let's not wake him up." I'll take Daqing with me again. There is Daqing, and what is terrible. ”

"I'm not afraid of anything, it's dark, there is no one on the road, someone is your companion, and you can talk. Although Mrs. Xia felt sorry for her little son, she still called the little black fish up despite Xia Zhi's obstruction.

As soon as she heard that she was going to accompany Xia Solstice to tofu soup, the little black fish immediately became energetic. He jumped up from the kang, put on his clothes three times and divided by two, beckoned Daqing to his side, and came to pull Xia Zhi's hand.

"Sixteen, let's go quickly. ”

At this time, most of the croppers have not rested. If it was any later, it would probably have to wake up the people from the tofu shop from the bed.

"You two go, be careful on the road, don't fall if it's dark. Walk slowly, don't rush. Mrs. Xia lit a lantern for the two of them to hold, and sent them to the door, seeing that the two of them had walked to the corner of the street, she kept admonishing.

Tian had been standing in the courtyard, and knew that Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer were going to the tofu shop, but she didn't say anything.

Mrs. Xia watched Xia Zhi and the little black fish disappear, so she turned around, and then looked face to face with Tian. Mrs. Xia was busy and said to Tian: "It's okay, their uncle and nephew have company, and they will be back in a while." ”

It seems that he thinks Tian will worry about the summer solstice, so he comforts Tian.

Tian Shi answered vaguely, and then did not go back to the backyard with Mrs. Xia: "...... It's nothing to do now, I'll go back first. ”

still refuses to call Mrs. Xia her mother.

Mrs. Xia is also used to it, so naturally she will not worry about the Tian family. She nodded, but still said, "You are not afraid to go back by yourself, or you will wait for Sixteen to come back and let her accompany you." ”

"It's fine. Tian said this, and turned to the front yard, "I'm not that squeamish. ”

Watching Tian walk away, Mrs. Xia pursed her lips. What does Tian mean, does he think that he has to be accompanied by someone to go to the tofu shop on the summer solstice, is he squeamish?

Tian, who is a mother, took pity on those good children. In fact, when Tian first arrived at Xia's house, Mrs. Xia felt that her heart was a little hard. Thinking about the past over the years, Mrs. Xia sighed secretly in her heart, went back to the house to take a look at her little grandson, and then walked to the gate to wait for Xia Solstice and the little black fish.

Although it is unlikely that something will happen, it is a dark day after all, and Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish are still children. She had to watch them come back sooner to be at ease.

Mrs. Xia stood at the door for a long time, and first heard the barking of a dog. A smile immediately appeared on her face, because she heard Daqing's cry, and sure enough, after a while, she saw Daqing running from the bend in the street.

Then, there is the little black fish and the summer solstice.

The summer solstice was playing a lantern, and it was a regular walk, but the little black fish was bouncing. He had only slept for about half an hour, and he was full of energy again.

Mrs. Xia sighed, her little son almost didn't walk well, either running or jumping.

"Didn't you slow down, look at you bouncing around like a monkey. When the little black fish came closer, Mrs. Xia counted the landings.

The little black fish smiled and threw herself into Mrs. Xia's arms.

Mrs. Xia hurriedly stopped the little black fish, but she couldn't say anything anymore, but just said over and over again: "You child, you child." ”

Xia Zhi came over, and when he saw the little black fish and Mrs. Xia coquettish, he couldn't help laughing.

"Milk, my uncle is still walking slowly, not to wait for me, I guess he will run back a long time ago. ”

"That's it. The little black fish raised her head and said proudly.

"Have you made an appointment with someone?" asked Mrs. Xia at this time, whether it was water tofu or not. Water tofu is a saying from Beizhen Mansion, but it is actually tofu brain. The tofu factory in Daxingzhuang grinds soybean milk in the morning, then sells some of the soy milk and water tofu, and then presses the rest into tofu.

Soy milk and water tofu are limited, new arrival, first served, you can't buy it if you go late.

Therefore, the amount of water tofu required for the summer solstice is large, so you have to book it with others in advance. The summer solstice was done safely, and a part of the fixed money was paid.

"It's all set. "The summer solstice reassures Mrs. Xia," Uncle Zhao of the tofu shop also told me that there is no need to give money. I took all the money with me and gave it to him. ”

"That's right. Whether people want it or not, that's their business. We set a lot of money, but we can't set a little money for others. Mrs. Xia said, and then asked Xia Zhi and the little black fish to hurry into the house.

"I looked, and I called you for anything. You both go up to the kang for a while. Mrs. Xia rushed Xia Zhi and the little black fish to the kang, and then she remembered that Tian was here.

"You~ mother has gone back to the front yard, and I'm still worried that she will be scared alone. She said she wasn't afraid. Sixteen, do you want to go back to the front yard to give you ~ your mother as a companion?" Mrs. Xia discussed with Xia Zhi.

"My mother probably doesn't need me to be a companion. Xia Zhi grinned and sat down on the kang.

The little black fish saw that she was on the kang, so she followed on the kang. But this time, the little black fish refused to sleep.

"I just went out for a lap, it's the spirit of running. Mrs. Xia sighed and said.

"Sixteen, why don't we go down to the ground and take a look?" the little black fish raised her face and discussed with Xia Zhi.

"You know how to play. Mrs. Xia reluctantly counted her youngest son.

The little black fish grinned, saying that he was not playing, but going down to the field to help the big guy work. Xia Zhi glanced at the little black fish, and when he saw his big eyes flickering and shining, he pursed his lips and smiled.

In this era, especially the Zhuang family, they pay the most attention to going to bed early and getting up early. Naughty as a little black fish, there are not many opportunities to go outside to play at night.

Mrs. Xia said that the little black fish was on the kang for a long time, and finally forced him to press the kang, but the little black fish was not sleepy at all. Although they tried their best to keep their voices low, they saw that Xiao Xia Lin was also a little about to wake up.

Mrs. Xia reluctantly let go of the little black fish. "It's not like to sleep anymore. ”

The little black fish rolled around, and then sat next to the summer solstice. "Sixteen, let's go down to the ground and take a look. ”

Xia Solstice also wanted to see the progress in the wheat field, so he nodded. Mrs. Xia couldn't stop the two of them, so she could only instruct and instruct, prepared lanterns for the two of them, and sent the two of them to the gate.

"Sixteen, keep an eye on your uncle. If he doesn't obey, you hit him. It's broken, it's mine. Mrs. Xia said to Xia Zhi.

Summer Solstice couldn't help laughing. Mrs. Xia herself was reluctant to do anything to the little black fish, and now she was so generous when she asked her. The little black fish hadn't taken Mrs. Xia's instructions seriously, but when she heard that Mrs. Xia asked Xia Zhi to beat him, the little black fish jumped to her feet.

"I'm sixteen's uncle, how can she beat me. Regardless of whether Mrs. Xia saw it or not, the little black fish made a grimace at her, and then pulled Xia Solstice and ran.

Mrs. Xia shouted hard in the back, slow down, slow down.

Xia Zhi and the little black fish ran for a while, and then gradually slowed down. Both couldn't help but laugh. Daqing also seemed to feel the happiness of his masters, and he ran alongside him, also screaming happily.

Xia Zhi didn't go to the wheat field immediately, but took Daqing to the courtyard with the little black fish first.

The Xia family occupied a large area in the common yard of Daxingzhuang, and several piles of wheat were piled high, because they were afraid of rain and moisture, and wood and mats were placed between the ground and the wheat.

The second brother of the Chen family and Xiao Shu'er hung a lantern in front of the wheat pile, and the two sat next to each other, talking while looking at the wheat.

There were also lanterns hanging in several places in the courtyard, which were lit by other wheat watchers in the village.

The little black fish was naughty, and began to act lightly when she was far away, and she didn't let the summer solstice make a sound. He also went around the back of the little tree, and suddenly jumped out and screamed.

Xiao Shu'er jumped up with a frightened mother, and then saw that it was a little black fish.

"Uncle, you're scaring me. Xiao Shu'er patted her chest and complained.

The little black fish smirked.

After all, the second brother of the Chen family is a few years older, and he seems to be much calmer. I don't know if he was scared by the little black fish, anyway, he couldn't see it on his face at all.

Seeing that Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer came together, the second brother of the Chen family greeted the two quite politely, and followed Xiao Xialin and Layue to call Uncle Xiaoheiyuer.

"Sister, uncle, why are you two here?" Xiao Shu'er asked Xia Zhi.

"Come and see, you'll have to go up to the wheat field in a moment. "Xia Zhi first checked the wheat pile, and when he saw that it was all well covered, he was relieved.

Then, she took out a cloth bag and handed it to the second brother of the Chen family.

"Sixteen, what is it?" The second brother of the Chen family is quite honest and shy, but because he has become familiar with Xia Zhi in the past few days, and Xia Zhi is very generous in his words and actions, he now talks to Xia Zhi as if he is talking to his sister.

"It's fried peanuts and hairy knocks. Xia Zhi replied, "Second brother, Xiao Shu'er, the two of you have a little snack to eat, and you don't have to be sleepy." ”

"Sister, you're so good!" Xiao Shu'er grinned, and deliberately showed a bit of flattery, he didn't say anything polite to Xia Zhi.

The second brother of the Chen family still said a few polite words to Xia Zhi, and he happily accepted the things, but he handed them over to Xiao Shu'er. "Hey, Sixteen, you're so thoughtful. ”

"Well, a lot of things are thanks to Sixteen. "The little black fish has always been honored to praise the summer solstice to others.

Xia Zhi and the little black fish stayed in the courtyard for a while, and then they carried the lantern to the wheat field again. Far away, you can see the torches burning in the wheat field.

It's not just the Xia family who fights at night to harvest wheat. Some people don't know whether they are distressed about the lamp oil money or what, but they are in the dark, harvesting wheat by the light of other people's torches in the distance, and the speed of cutting wheat is amazing and not slow.

Xia Zhi glanced at it, and could only sigh silently in his heart.

Old man Xia was in the field, smoking dry smoke with the old man of the Chen family and Tian Fugui to wake up, and when he saw Xia Zhi and the little black fish coming, he asked them why they came to the ground again.

"Stay at home with your milk, you don't need it. Old Man Xia said to Xia Zhi, "I will bring back Layue, the eldest girl, the second girl, and the girl Lanzi in a while." Their daughter's house, young and young, is good to work for a day, but I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this night. ”

Old Man Xia had already said that he would let these little girls go home. But Sun Lan'er refused to agree to be the first one, and Layue was worried about her own wheat and refused to go back.

Neither of them left, and neither did the eldest and second girl.

Xia Zhi glanced into the field and saw Sun Lan'er, Layue, Da Ya, and Er Ya cutting wheat in one place. Sun Lan'er is at the forefront, and then there is the big girl.

Sun Lan'er couldn't see anything yet, she was used to doing these farm work. The eldest girl seemed to be a little struggling to look at it, but she was struggling to catch up with Sun Lan'er.

"I didn't see it, the big girl of the Lao Tian family still has a hard time. Old Man Xia said in a low voice, I don't know if he was talking to Xia Zhi, or just talking to himself.

As soon as the eldest girl learned to cut wheat, she was a little bit of a joke with Sun Lan'er, and Xia Zhi had already seen it. (To be continued.) )
