I caught a cold at the top of Mount Tai (accident, I thought it would be okay for a while), drowned at the foot of Mount Tai, just a little better today, sorry to keep you waiting.

*****

Xia Zhi and Li Xia were talking and laughing, and when they glanced back, they saw that May and Zhang Fang seemed to be arguing. Summer Solstice sighed secretly. There is a good saying, it is easy to fall in love and difficult to get along. May and Zhang Fang actually never really got along. They probably don't know what the real other person is like.

Now that May and Zhang Fang are together, it seems to say that the two have finally succeeded after many hardships. But in reality, the real test for two people has just begun.

Of course, Xia Zhi would not take care of the affairs of the young couple, so after taking a glance, he withdrew his gaze and continued to visit the market with Li Xia.

They didn't come in vain this time, the two of them really collected a few good things, and Li Li Xia took them back and gave them to Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian to please the two of them.

After a long day of shopping, a group of people were a little unsatisfied. However, Xia Zhi controlled the time, she gathered all the big guys back, and went to the big car shop to have a meal.

In this season, it can be said that it is a very pleasant thing to sit on the hot kang of the big car shop and eat sauerkraut and white meat pot together.

And when they had eaten, they returned. Even so, it was already evening when I returned to Daxingzhuang.

The days are relatively short in winter in Beizhen Province, and as soon as they settle down at home, it will be dark.

May and Zhangfang couldn't make it back to Xin'an Town at night, so they had to stay in Daxingzhuang for another night. Mrs. Xia had already taken Tian and Aunt Xia to make dinner. Everyone washed up a little and sat down to eat.

Now that the Xia family has a grandson and daughter-in-law, during this meal, it is Sun Lan'er and Guo Yuhuan who are serving under the table.

Sun Lan'er was already diligent, and because she went out to play for a day today, she was cautious in front of the Tian family after she came back, and at this time, she was even more eager to work, as if she wanted to make up for something.

Tian's heart was a little uncomfortable, but she was not really a villain. Because Sun Lan'er was diligent and careful, her vanity as a mother-in-law was well satisfied, so she couldn't have a seizure.

This meal was a good meal.

After removing the table, Xia Zhi personally cooked tea to relieve the tiredness of the big guys. In this era, there were no abundant entertainment activities, and drinking tea and chatting after meals was not only a pastime, but also an important way for families to exchange information and connect with each other.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Guo Yuhuan gave Xia Zhu a look.

Xia Zhu understood, so he told Old Man Xia about the business of Guo Xi's grocery store. “…… Small business, my father-in-law thinks that he can lay more foundations for me and Yuhuan, and in the future, when we have children, your great-grandson can also be a big young master......"

Old Man Xia listened intently, and after a while, he gradually understood that Guo Xi wanted to buy Li Xia.

"I don't do anything else, but wine. My father-in-law knows how to drink very well, and Guan Bao can make people satisfied......" Xia Zhu continued, and then said that it was okay not to do the Li family, and it was okay to do it for Tian Kuo's family, or for Tian Qi's family.

"This is in my sister, and that's just a matter of words. Who is not used, and the people of our own family are more assured. In the future, my sister will marry, and there will be someone to call or something. …… My father-in-law said that he would take me out and take me out at that time, and I would take care of all the business and everything in the future......"

Summer Solstice drank tea slowly, without words. She doesn't speak, and Li Xia won't talk nonsense. Li Xia only spoke to the little black fish and the little tree in a low voice.

After listening to Xia Zhu's words, Old Man Xia took a deep look at Xia Zhu.

Xia Zhu hurriedly shouted with a smile.

"Erzhu has also grown taller, but he is not ......strong," Old Man Xia said suddenly, as if he had only really looked at Xia Zhu carefully until now.

"Master, I'm like this. Xia Zhu said.

Guo Yuhuan also echoed beside her, saying that Xia Zhu's meal was quite large. “…… Knowing that he is growing, the delicious food at home is close to him first. One person eats more than our whole family. Guo Yuhuan's meaning was to show the Xia family that the Guo family did not treat Xia Zhu badly, on the contrary, they treated Xia Zhu very favorably.

But Old Man Xia didn't have any joy on his face, and he even looked a little unhappy.

Guo Yuhuan has always boasted that she is very good at talking, but she doesn't know which sentence made Old Man Xia unhappy. She was a very good-eyed girl, so she stopped talking and didn't dare to say anything more.

Old Man Xia was a little unhappy, because of Guo Yuhuan's sentence about our whole family. Guo Yuhuan said that, obviously treating Xia Zhu as an outsider in his heart.

Regarding Xia Zhu's family affair, Old Man Xia has not been very happy. It was just a generation, and he decided to let it go.

Xia Zhu is like this, a little like being a son-in-law for others.

But this is already a fait accompli, although Old Man Xia is uncomfortable in his heart, he can still control his emotions.

As for what Xia Zhu asked for......

"If you want your sister to help, you can tell your sister directly. You tell me, I don't know what's going on. It's useless for you to answer if I answer. You tell your sister that you don't know what kind of person your sister is, and if she can promise you, she will agree to you. If you can't do it, then you can't embarrass your sister. Your sister is worried about you, Erzhu, you have to know in your heart. ”

Old Man Xia said this impartially.

This is not what Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan expected to hear. Old Man Xia's words were impartial on the surface, but in fact, they were biased towards the summer solstice. Old man Xia has made his attitude clear, Xia Zhi can help him or not.

But Old Man Xia's words have already been said, Guo Yuhuan and Xia Zhu have no other way but to look at Xia Solstice with blank eyes.

Xia Zhi gently put down the tea cup in his hand.

"You say you're a small business. It's the same with my aunt's family. Our aunt's family has a larger population, and how are people living, but it doesn't seem like you can't live as you said, so you have to rely on me to give you a shopping errand to get by. Xia Zhi said slowly.

Xia Zhu and Guo Yu looked at each other.

"Sister, that, that, I'm not your brother. Do you want me to have a good life in the future?" Xia Zhu said to Xia Zhi with a smile.

"If you want to live a good life in the future, you don't necessarily have to buy this for others. Xia Zhi was indifferent, and then she said to Old Man Xia, "Master, you should always know about this big family." Li Xia's family, as well as Tian Kuo, Tian Mi'er's family, everyone used their own housekeepers to buy, and they didn't use outsiders. ”

Even if Li Xia listened to her unconditionally, she gave Guo Xi an errand for the Li family. How did Mrs. Tian, who was in charge of the Li family, tell the family? This made the big guy think of her.

Before she passed the door, she stretched out her hand to the Li family's housework?

She's that vicious?!

Guo Xi fell once, but it seems that he has not really accepted the lesson. Thinking about buying for Li Tian's family, he just looked at the oil and water in it, and wanted to make money by taking advantage of it, but he took out Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan's children who had no shadow, and wanted Old Man Xia to help them intercede with Xia Zhi.

Fortunately, Old Man Xia still understood that he did not fall for them.

"It's also a brother, my eldest uncle is much more down-to-earth. In the end, Xia Zhi said with a smile.

On the surface, this sentence is to praise Uncle Guo, but in fact, it is to criticize Guo Xi's eagerness for quick success and profit.

If Guo Xi was not such a person, there would be no family affair between Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan, and their family would not have almost lost their shop and would not be able to gain a foothold in Fucheng.

Guo Yuhuan's face turned red, she understood Xia Zhi's words.

Old Man Xia also understood, and he felt that what Xia Zhi said was very right.

"It's all a grocery store business, Erzhu, in the future, you can learn more from your eldest uncle and your elder brother, and see how people do business and how they behave. Old Man Xia said to Xia Zhu.

This is to reject Xia Zhu's affection, and there is no room for turning around.

Xia Zhu could only agree with a wilt, not daring to argue.

"You don't usually talk to me about it, and Sixteen doesn't tell me much about it. But I'm not confused, sixteen years have taken care of your family's business, as well as your aunt's family. She is not biased, and she has pulled everything she can pull. Why didn't your aunt's family ask for anything to buy, they didn't have a good life. …… Eat a trench and grow wise, when your father-in-law comes, I still have to talk to him......"

Old Man Xia said this, and he had already made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to take advantage of Xia Zhu's home to teach Xia Zhu the truth of being a man.

Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan touched the ash of their noses, and they stopped talking at the moment.

Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia looked left and right, and they didn't dare to interject.

And so it went.

May has also been watching from the side, Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan are deflated, and she laughs and groans. When everyone stopped talking, she said that she would return to Xin'an Town tomorrow, and then come back on the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings.

"That's a good idea. Aunt Xia said immediately.

"Whatever you want. Old Man Xia said, "If your in-laws have something to do, you will be busy with you." ”

"Nothing matters. "May said.

Zhang Fang didn't speak sullenly.

The next day, although Li Xia was reluctant, he still said goodbye to the Xia family. May and Zhang Fang didn't have a chance, they left with Li Xia.

Old Man Xia didn't say anything when he saw Xia Zhi, so he didn't say anything.

This year, the most important and lively pig killing banquet was over.

When there was no one in the room, Old Man Xia told Xia Zhi about the past two days.

“…… In the future, Erzhu begs you something, don't worry about me. Can I still have you understand the affairs of Fucheng? Sixteen, you can just estimate and do it yourself. Saying this, Old Man Xia sighed.

Old Man Xia was a little worried about Xia Zhu's future.

He didn't worry that Xia Zhu would not be fed and clothed, and he was not worried that Xia Zhu would suffer and be bullied.

With Aunt Xia watching from the side, and Xia Solstice behind him, Xia Zhu will not have to worry about the days ahead.

Old Man Xia was worried that Xia Zhu would be led crooked by Guo Xi.

"This kid is not as upright as your brother and your third uncle at the root. It would be bad if he followed his father-in-law. Hey, I'm still soft-hearted, I shouldn't have let them kiss in the first place. ”

"Master, it's useless to talk about this now. "The summer solstice said.

Old Man Xia sighed even more, he also knew that it was an afterthought. "In the past two days, I'll talk about Erzhu. Sixteen, in the future, you will be in the city, don't be soft on Erzhu. You will teach him what you should teach, and I will bear it for you. ”

Xia Zhi smiled: "Master, don't worry." There's my uncle. ”

Old Man Xia is still not at ease: "Your uncle is still young." Besides, he will beat the two pillars. What will he teach, it's up to you. ”

"Master, I'm looking at Erzhu. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Now Old Man Xia is relieved. As soon as the mood relaxed, Old Man Xia also said what was in his heart.

“…… I just want to say in front of me, as soon as I am happy, when I take care of my grandson and great-grandson, I have to be biased when I talk to you. Will you agree or not? Hey, Guo Xi is a good idea. ”

"He didn't expect you to understand so much. Xia Zhi smiled.

Old Man Xia also laughed when he was complimented. He understands better than Guo Xi thought. His heart was for the good of his grandchildren, and he was also moved by his great-grandson's words. But at the same time, he understands a truth.

Xia Zhi really wants to pull out his own family. But with such a pull, the summer solstice has a better and more thoughtful arrangement.

Maintaining the summer solstice is to maintain the Xia family, and it is to maintain the children and grandchildren of the Xia family.

How could he be surrounded by Guo Xi's small means, do foolish things, embarrass Xia Solstice, and hurt Xia Solstice's heart.

Old man Xia trusts Xia Solstice wholeheartedly.

After talking about Xia Zhu, Old Man Xia mentioned May again.

“…… wants to slap Li Xia, the fox is pretending to be a tiger. You see they weren't in a hurry just now, as soon as Li Xia said to leave, they immediately followed......"

Walking with Li Xia, let everyone see that they have a good relationship with Li Xia, which is an intangible asset for them in May.

On the one hand, it is May's selfishness, and on the other hand, it should also be the will of the old lady of the Zhang family.

"This light, let them borrow. Xia Zhi's answer was very refreshing.

Although she said that May is no longer the May of the Xia family, the blood relationship between May and the Xia family is indeed forever.

The Xia family won't really ignore May.

In this case, of course they would not let the clansmen of the Zhang family or any outsiders bully the Zhang Fang family.

But the summer solstice didn't mean to support May's mother-in-law.

Old Man Xia nodded again and again, but he also carefully asked Xia Zhi if Li Xia would mind.

Xia Zhi smiled heartily.

How could Li Xia mind, even for her, Li Xia wouldn't mind. Not to mention Li Xia's background environment, he has been very familiar with these since he was a child.

If Li Xia minded, he had countless ways to prevent this from happening.

Happy days always fly by, and in a blink of an eye, it is a small year.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the folk sacrifice stove on this day, which is the most important festival before Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Xia family eats dumplings with shrimp and three fresh fillings during the New Year. The dumplings are wrapped in an ingot-shaped, and each dumpling has a whole shrimp in it.

Little Black Fish and Little Tree love to eat this kind of dumpling.

Sun Lan'er also loves to eat.

But on this day, Sun Lan'er only took a bite and immediately spit it out.
