Seeing Sun Lan'er coming, Xia Zhi pulled her to sit down on the edge of the kang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Sister Lanzi, I'm not here these days, thank you for helping me clean up." ”

Sun Lan'er glanced at Xia Qiao and guessed that he was talking to Xia Zhi. Then she smiled and said to Xia Zhi: "It's nothing, just clean it up." I love to clean up here. ”

Xia Zhi didn't say too many kind words to Sun Lan'er. Friendship has reached a certain level, and too many kind words seem to be distant. She opened her baggage and let Sun Lan'er see what she brought back from Fucheng.

Xia Zhi brought things to Sun Lan'er, a complete set of new comb grates, silk flowers, head ropes, grass combs, bits and pieces of girls' small objects, as long as Xia Solstice bought it, there was a share of Sun Lan'er.

It was the first time for Sun Lan'er to see so many delicate and beautiful trinkets, her eyes widened, and her hands were rubbing on one thing after another, she could hardly believe that it was real.

"Sixteen, these ...... It's all for me?" After a while, Sun Lan'er raised her eyes and asked Xia Zhi. After such a while, Sun Lan'er's eyes became a little moist.

"Of course it's all for you, Sister Lanzi. Layue also has it, and I bought one for each of our big guys. Xia Zhi told Sun Lan'er with a smile.

Layue also echoed beside her, and handed the big red banana cloth to Sun Lan'er for her to see. "This is also what the fourth sister bought for us, saying that the two of us should make a nail to wear. Hee-hee, I haven't worn the bicar yet. ”

Sun Lan'er touched the ruler handed over by Layue again, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to say for a while. "Sixteen, where did you get so much money?" It took a long time for Sun Lan'er to ask such a sentence.

Xia Zhi didn't plan to explain in detail, only said that she earned it by helping people work.

"Sixteen, I'll always take your things. I don't have anything. Sun Lan'er felt that Xia Zhi gave too many things, she was a little embarrassed, and she also felt ashamed of Xia Zhi. She is older than Xia Zhi, but Xia Zhi takes care of her in all aspects.

"Sister Lanzi, what you said is out of sight. I bought it for you, and you have to ask for it if you don't want it. Otherwise, I'd be angry. Xia Zhi pouted deliberately.

Layue was next to her and persuaded Sun Lan'er to take the things.

Xia Qiao didn't leave, he sat on the bench on the ground and watched a few girls talking, and at this time he also persuaded Sun Lan'er: "This is a piece of Sixteen's heart, Lanzi, you can accept it." You usually take care of Sixteen. Sixteen treat you as a sister. ”

Xia Zhi nodded: "My eldest brother is right. ”

Sun Lan'er's eyes became more and more moist. This girl has been miserable since she was a child, so if she is treated a little kindly, she will be particularly moved. Xia Zhi was sincere, and seeing that Xia Zhi was indeed rich, Sun Lan'er said that she had accepted the things.

"If I don't bring it back, I'll let you do it. Sun Lan'er said to Xia Zhi.

"Okay. Xia Zhi happily agreed, she knew what Sun Lan'er was afraid of.

Summer Solstice's baggage was opened, and there were many of her own things inside, such as her newly added clothes, and that very delicate and beautiful dressing case.

Layue and Sun Lan'er's eyes were a little unable to take their eyes off, so Xia Solstice opened the burden and let the two of them see it. She also asked Sun Lan'er if she was full for dinner.

Sun Lan'er said that she was full. But Xia Zhi knew that she was not telling the truth. Sun Lan'er always can't eat enough at home, and that meal is full for her.

"Big brother...... "Summer solstice is called Xia Qiao."

Xia Qiao immediately understood, and went out to Zhang Luo in a hurry. Xia Zhi looked at Xia Qiao's back and pursed his lips. Xia Qiao's temper is actually a good big brother.

Layue and Sun Lan'er were a little surprised when they saw the summer solstice. Xia Zhi patiently explained to them one by one, and the two little girls felt that they had opened their eyes.

They asked Xia Zhi about his life in Fucheng one by one, and Xia Zhi also picked out interesting things. Until Xia Qiao came in with dishes and chopsticks.

Xia Qiao filled Sun Lan'er with a bowl of rice, and also brought over the half bowl of dishes he left for Sun Lan'er to eat. In fact, the summer solstice is a little suspicious. Xia Qiao is not the kind of big man who doesn't do housework, he can do housework, and he also knows that the meals of this season can't be left overnight.

Except for Tian's refusal to eat, everyone in the family has eaten a good meal. Xia Qiao deliberately left half of it, was it just for Sun Lan'er?

Xia Zhi pondered in his heart for a while and felt that it was very possible.

Xia Qiao asked Sun Lan'er to eat, but Sun Lan'er was embarrassed and refused to eat. Xia Zhi persuaded her: "Sister Lanzi, are you seeing us again." You're always hungry, and sooner or later you're going to get sick. If we don't have it, forget it, and our family will not lack this bowl of rice. ”

"I'm always eating here. Auntie and Brother Ohashi always leave me food. Sun Lan'er said. It seems that Tian and Xia Qiao have treated her very well these days. Knowing this, Xia Solstice was relieved.

Sun Lan'er was embarrassed, but after all, she was still very close to Xia Zhi, and after being persuaded for a while, she also felt that it would be hypocritical to refuse again. Sun Lan'er took the rice bowl to eat.

Xia Qiao asked her to eat all the dishes. "Leave it until tomorrow morning and it will be spoiled and you can't eat it. This is a good dish brought back from Fucheng by Sixteen, you can also taste it. ”

After saying that, Xia Qiao left.

Sun Lan'er ate all the food, went out to wash all the dishes and chopsticks, and then returned to the West House. Xia Qiao is not in this house, and the little girls have no taboos.

The three little girls all took off their coats and sat on the kang and talked only in their close-fitting clothes. Sun Lan'er also took out the summer solstice armor and looked at it carefully, discussed it with Layue, and cut the cloth tomorrow to make the armor.

Xia Zhi also gave Sun Lan'er two pairs of uppers and asked her to make two new pairs of shoes to wear. Sun Lan'er also agreed. In the basket of the summer solstice, there are a lot of needles and threads made by Sun Lan'er.

Sun Lan'er asked Xia Zhi to look at the purse she had made these days. The purse made by Sun Lan'er has already saved up a box. "Just wait for you to come back and sell it in town, and then you can decide what to sell. "This is going to give all the money she used to make a purse to Xia Zhi at the disposal of Xia Zhi.

"Sixteen, I see that this cloth is more than a piece of armor, and I will make you a belly pocket. What kind of tricks are you rare, tell me, I will embroider it for you. ”

"Everything. Xia Zhi smiled, "It's mainly about you and Layue's comparison." Belly pocket or something, let's buy cloth to make it in the future. ”

"Surely it is enough, I know it. You're definitely buying something with a surplus. Sun Lan'er said.

That's right, buying cloth on the summer solstice is not a matter of being able to buy cloth, but a little more, and it is better to have more than not enough.

It was already dark outside, and the three little girls looked at the things for a while and then extinguished the candles. Then, one by one, they lay on the kang, refusing to close their eyes and sleep, and they didn't know how to say so much.

This situation is a bit like the dormitory meeting in the dormitory before the summer solstice crosses.

They asked about many things about the summer solstice, and also told a lot about the things in their homes and villages. Because when it came to Xia Zhu's marriage, Sun Lan'er and Layue told Xia Zhi that during this time, there was a daughter in the village who got married, and which family's son married a daughter-in-law.

This season, there are not many people who do marriages.

Layue also told Xia Zhi that Old Man Xia personally went to pull weeds in Second Uncle Xia's field. Then Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San felt sorry for Old Man Xia, so they also went over to help.

"Brother Daqiao and I also went to help, and I was tired enough. I don't know what the second uncle thinks, his own land, he pulled out the grass on the ground, and the grass in the field is tall. Layue flattened her mouth dissatisfied, "Our master said that he was just fooling himself." ”

mentioned Second Uncle Xia, and Layue said that they left Xia Yang to take care of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia. "In the first few days, Xia Yang cried all day long, and cried the most in the middle of the night. Don't talk about our grandparents and grandmothers, we can't sleep. ”

"The second uncle and the second aunt are ruthless enough. In this regard, Layue commented. It's not just her assessment, it's what everyone in the village who knows about it says.

In fact, Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia did this not entirely out of ruthlessness, Xia Zhi always felt that these two were a little second to some extent, or unreliable.

"I won't be back after May and July. Sun Lan'er also asked. She just heard Xia Zhi talk about the life of Second Uncle Xia's family in Fucheng.

"They definitely don't want to come back. "The summer solstice said. Looking at the meaning of Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia, they want to find a mother-in-law in Fucheng for May, and they also want to ask Zhang Qiaoer and Tian Jiansheng to find a good condition.

Several of the girls lowered their voices to speak, but in the hall they could still hear what they were saying. Tian didn't know how to walk into the hall, and she didn't know how much she heard, so she heard her whisper into the west room: "It's not early, you guys should rest quickly, don't talk endlessly." ”

Layue stuck out her tongue, and the three little girls looked at each other and stopped talking.

There was a cool breeze on the summer night, and with the cool breeze, a faint scent of jasmine wafted in from the windowsill outside. It was a few pots of white jasmine planted on the summer solstice, and they bloomed.

The summer solstice fell asleep in this faint scent of jasmine.

When I woke up the next day, it was a brand new day. Layue and Sun Lan'er refused to have breakfast at the summer solstice, got up and cleaned up a little, and went back to their respective homes.

Tian picked a piece of tofu, the dialect here in Daxingzhuang, the so-called picking tofu is to buy tofu. This piece of tofu, plus a handful of freshly picked shallots, and a bowl of sauce just fished out of the sauce jar, is the dish for breakfast at the summer solstice family. As for the staple food, Tian pasted a few large cakes with bud rice noodles.

There were still some eggs in the gourd in the hall, but Tian was reluctant to take them out for everyone to eat. Even if Xia Xiucai is rare, he came back this time. Tian's reasons are very strong.

This time, Xia Xiucai exchanged all the things in his hand for silver, so there was no gift to give to his father-in-law's family. Tian refused to go back to her parents' house empty-handed, and her plan, even if there were no other gifts, she could take back all the eggs she had saved as a gift for Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian.

"I took this egg and let him marinate it and eat it slowly. Tian said so at the breakfast table, and then she took a special look at the little tree.

Xiao Shu'er lowered her head to pick up the rice, and she didn't even raise her head.

"Let's go back and see your grandma and your grandfather, we can't be empty-handed, this is a courtesy. I'd rather we don't eat ourselves, we can't treat the old man badly, otherwise people will pay attention to our unfilial piety. Tian said confidently.

It's as if only Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian are old people, but Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia are not.

Tian herself was used to saying this, and she didn't think there was anything wrong, but when she saw that Xia Zhi's eyes were a little strange, she realized that there was a hole in her words.

"Your grandmother's family is poor, so she relies on us to help. The old man and the old lady in the backyard don't lack anything. People don't lack this little thing from us. Tian is still right.

Everyone didn't speak, Tian recognized the truth, especially this truth, that no one could say to her.

Seeing that no one spoke, Tian thought that he had subdued everyone. She discussed with Xia Xiucai again: "I still have some money in my hand." It's not like just taking the eggs back, let's pass by Linshui Town in a while, and then buy something for his grandfather in the town. ”

Xia Xiucai responded in a low voice, saying that everything was up to Tian's.

"Listen to me, you can take a lot of money back and spend it for me. It's not that I'm thrifty, otherwise I wouldn't have the money to go to the door!"

As for the thirty taels of silver, I don't know how the Tian family calculated. She even ignored it.

After eating, Xia Zhi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Tian asked Daqiao to go to the door of the grocery store to hire a car. The average little daughter-in-law in the village goes back to her parents' house, which is a little closer, such as ten miles and eight miles, and she usually walks back. If you can't go any further, most of them are rides.

Every time Tian returned to the mountain, he hired a car.

Xia Qiao left, Tian began to pack the package, complaining while cleaning up, saying that there was nothing to bring to his mother's family, and the meaning in and out of his words was that Xia Xiucai was not good.

Then, Tian also glanced at the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi wanted to change into his original clothes this morning, which was the old trouser gown with patches. But after thinking about it, she dismissed the idea.

Today, Xia Zhi wore a set of goose yellow gauze shirts and skirts, and the pressed hair on his head was removed, but the ear buttons were still worn. The collar of her summer dress was slightly larger, and the silver cleats hanging from her neck could be faintly seen.

Tian was angry that he had no money and no good things to bring back to his mother's family, and when he saw Xia Zhi's dress, he became more and more angry.

"Sixteen, don't go. Tian said angrily, "Our Lao Tian family can't afford to entertain Miss Qianjin." ”

"The children are going, but Sixteen is not going. Xia Xiucai had a good temper and persuaded Tian.

"Mother, you really won't let me go. Xia Zhi put on an indifferent attitude, "If I let my grandmother and the people in their village see it, you go back to see that my grandmother can't bring all the people in the family, I don't know what people say." ”

Tian cares very much about the reputation in her mother's village, and when she heard Xia Zhi say this, she no longer mentioned that she would not take Xia Zhi to support the mountain.

"Sixteen, if you have money, give your mother a little first. Tian said to Xia Zhi.
