Chapter 209: Asking for Wheat
The second watch, ask for a monthly pass
***
When I entered the village, there were already children playing on the street who told Xia Zhi that Uncle Xia had come back from the city. Xia Zhi www.biquge.info still pondered in his heart that it was really time for Second Uncle Xia to come back: he didn't come back when he was working, and the wheat was bagged and shipped home, and he came back.
When he arrived at the gate, Xia Zhi jumped out of the car. The little black fish then jumped down as well, and he also glanced at the summer solstice. The time just now was too short, and the uncle and nephew didn't have time to say anything. However, the meaning of the little black fish is understood on the summer solstice.
Second Uncle Xia is back, and if Old Man Xia doesn't say something, the little black fish will say it. Of course, if you want the little black fish to speak, it is better for her to say.
Although the little black fish is smart and clever, she is still young after all. If you really want to talk about things and be reasonable when it comes to cost, it has to be the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi nodded at the little black fish to reassure him. Then, Xia Zhi talked to Third Uncle Xia and Qian Yuelai again: "Third Uncle, Brother Yuelai, you move first, I'll go into the house to have a look." ”
"Go ahead. Uncle Xia and Qian Yuelai both nodded.
Just heard that Second Uncle Xia had returned from Fucheng, and Qian Yuelai was still a little uncomfortable. However, now he is already doing what he should do, and he is tying up the cart with Uncle Xia San and moving wheat below.
On the summer solstice, he and the little black fish went to the upper room. The two of them walked in the courtyard, and they heard the voice of Second Uncle Xia in the upper house. Just listening to the voice that was more energetic than before at home, Xia Zhi seemed to see Second Uncle Xia's triumphant face, always showing off and superiority.
And Old Man Xia's voice was much lower.
In addition to Old Man Xia and Second Uncle Xia, there is another unfamiliar male voice.
It seems that Second Uncle Xia didn't come back alone, he also brought someone here.
As soon as Xia Zhi walked into the upper room, Mrs. Xia greeted her. "Sixteen, Xiaolong, are you two back?"
"Hmm. Xia Zhi nodded, and deliberately asked Mrs. Xia, "Milk, I see that the car is parked at the gate of our house, what kind of guest is here?"
"It's your second uncle who is back. Mrs. Xia said with a smile, and then lowered her voice slightly, "I also brought someone back, saying that it was a friend." ”
"What did my second uncle say?" Xia Zhi also asked in a low voice.
"Let's just say that Tian Jian Sheng treats him well in Fucheng, why does he smoke cigarettes or something, and says that it has been a long time. Old Lady Xia's voice was a little lower.
"Who is coming back?" At this time, I heard Second Uncle Xia's voice asking in the east room.
Xia Zhi smiled at Mrs. Xia, and then lifted the curtain and entered the east house.
There were three people sitting on the kang in the east house. The one on the kang head is naturally Old Man Xia, sitting opposite Old Man Xia, wearing a sunflower-colored satin and a corrugated hat on his head.
There was also a strange middle-aged man next to Second Uncle Xia, tall and thin, similar to Second Uncle Xia's dress.
"Second Uncle is back. Xia Zhi greeted Second Uncle Xia when he entered the house.
"Ah, it's sixteen. Haha, we're really getting older and smarter. Second Uncle Xia laughed, and then saw the little black fish following Xia Zhi's side, "Xiaolong is still with Sixteen." These two good ones are like one person. ”
The little black fish is not like Xia Zhi, who can still give a smile when he sees Second Uncle Xia, and the little black fish's small ~ face is flat, and he doesn't give Second Uncle Xia a good face at all. Hearing Second Uncle Xia talking to him, he also snorted from his nose and ignored Second Uncle Xia.
Second Uncle Xia looks like this child is spoiled, and he doesn't care about children.
"Sixteen, this is your second uncle's friend in Fucheng. "Old Man Xia pays great attention to etiquette, so he asked Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish to call the man who came back with Second Uncle Xia, but they were not called by seniority, Old Man Xia asked Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish to call each other Master Zhang.
Xia Zhi immediately knew that Old Man Xia didn't like this so-called Master Zhang very much.
"Why are you two back?" Second Uncle Xia asked Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish with a smile.
"My third uncle and Brother Yuelai are unloading the car at the gate. Xia Solstice said.
"Unload the car, what kind of car?" Second Uncle Xia asked.
"We've got a big car on a leash. Little Heiyuer hurriedly replied, "We are tied to the car with the sixteenth, third brother, and the three of us." ”
"Ah......" Second Uncle Xia sighed, and his eyes quickly swept over Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia and Xia Zhi. "It's good to tie the car, it's good to tie the car, and it's easy to do any work in the future. Then, he immediately asked, "What kind of truck is this unloading?" I just passed by the side of the yard and saw that it was all Yangchang. Our wheat has been beaten and sent home?"
"That's it. It was still the little black fish who spoke, "If I wait for you, the wheat will rot in the ground." ”
This sentence won the heart of Old Man Xia. When Second Uncle Xia came back for this meeting, he just cared about talking about his affairs in Fucheng, and didn't ask Maizi how he was at all. Old Man Xia himself planned to say this, but in front of the stranger Master Zhang, he always wanted to save some face for his second son.
Now, when the youngest son said this, Old Man Xia lifted his whole body a lot more comfortably. However, he didn't say anything, just glanced at Second Uncle Xia deeply with a meaningful gaze.
Second Uncle Xia didn't realize it.
"The wheat has been sent back, and I heard that this year's wheat has been harvested. With that, Second Uncle Xia stood up, "I have to go and have a look." ”
Master Zhang then stood up, and Old Man Xia paused slightly and also got off the ground. And they went out of the house, and came to the gate.
When Second Uncle Xia saw the two carts full of wheat, he immediately burst into laughter. He also untied a bag and grabbed a handful of grains of wheat from it and looked at it.
He couldn't finish watching it himself, and he also let Master Zhang, who was with him, watch it.
"Lao Zhang, look at it, look at it, there's nothing to say about this wheat. My land is good, the first part of ten miles and eight villages, everything you plant is harvested, and you don't have to do anything. "Triumphant.
Master Zhang didn't say much, but he looked at the wheat very carefully. After reading it, he also grabbed some wheat grains and put them in his mouth to chew, and finally nodded and said two good words.
"Look at my third brother, this body is great, it's not a problem to carry a hundred and eighty pounds. It's not a big cart, but a helper. "This is to see Qian Yue coming.
"Second uncle. Qian Yuelai's face flushed slightly, but he didn't hide from Second Uncle Xia, but walked over and called Second Uncle very politely.
Second Uncle Xia had long forgotten about Qian Yuelai, but now that Qian Yuelai had walked up to him, he finally remembered. "This, this posterity looks good. ”
With such a sentence, he turned his head and stopped paying attention to Qian Yuelai, which also meant that he planned to end the topic here.
But Second Uncle Xia's attitude towards Qian Yuelai made Old Man Xia very annoyed. Qian Yuelai has helped a lot these days, sincerely, but Second Uncle Xia has such an obviously contemptuous attitude towards Qian Yuelai.
But thinking about the reason why Second Uncle Xia and Qian Yuelai met, Old Man Xia couldn't say anything. That would not only be embarrassing for Second Uncle Xia, but Qian Yuelai would probably be uncomfortable.
"Brother Yuelai, the second uncle went to Fucheng, his vision is high, this is also at home, otherwise he won't even recognize us when he walks on the street. Brother Yuelai, don't be like him, my second uncle has a problem with his eyes. Xia Zhi said to Qian Yue with a smile.
Qian Yuelai grinned, didn't say anything, and quickly went to unload the car again.
Second Uncle Xia was scolded by Xia Zhi's face, he pointed to Xia Zhi, and wanted to count a few words on Xia Zhi, but he saw Old Man Xia, Little Black Fish, and even Third Uncle Xia looking at him a little unkindly, Second Uncle Xia Gaba, and finally didn't dare to say anything.
Hehe laughed twice, on the one hand, to show his generosity, and on the other hand, to find a step for himself. Second Uncle Xia spoke with a smile on his face again.
"It's just the right time for me to come back this time, and when I go back, I'll take the wheat with me. The mothers and sons were thinking about the new wheat noodles. Tian Jian Shengna, I guess I haven't eaten such good wheat in our family, haha, haha. ”
Sure enough, he came back to ask for wheat!
"Why is your face so big!" the little black fish choked Second Uncle Xia angrily.
"Why is this kid talking like that? The smile on Second Uncle Xia's face faded a little.
Without waiting for him to say anything more, Xia Zhi had already spoken. "Second uncle, you took this wheat away, so what are we going to eat?"
Compared with the little black fish, when Xia Zhi opened his mouth, Second Uncle Xia was more cautious. These days, he has seen the power of the summer solstice, and when he talks to the summer solstice, he is very careful. It's the kind of caution that I'm afraid of being caught by the summer solstice~ the handle.
"Sixteen, are you teasing the second uncle? You also have ten acres of land, and this year is not the same harvest, are you still worried about eating?" Second Uncle Xia smiled, and then glanced at Old Man Xia quickly.
Old Man Xia simply put his hands behind his back and stopped talking. He was not happy in his heart, and he was willing to watch the little black fish and Xia Solstice embarrassed Second Uncle Xia.
"But the wheat you are referring to is my family's ten acres of land. Xia Zhi also said with a smile.
"Ah, ah," Second Uncle Xia's eyes rolled, as if he had just come back to his senses. "Who's in the field is different. But if you say so, the second uncle can't bother with you. Third, which pockets of wheat are in my field, have you sent them back, there must be some in the future. ”
This is to turn to Uncle Xia to speak. Uncle Xia San is the most honest, and he can't say anything choking. Second Uncle Xia also knew at this time that persimmons should be picked up and pinched.
"Second uncle, when did you come back to cut the wheat, why didn't we see it?" Xia Zhi immediately showed a surprised expression.
Third Uncle Xia also ignored Second Uncle Xia, and went to work with Qian Yuelai.
Second Uncle Xia's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, looked at Xia Zhi, and turned his gaze to Old Man Xia.
"If you want your ten acres of wheat, go to the field to find it yourself!" Old Man Xia threw down such a sentence, and also stepped forward to help Uncle Xia and Qian Yue unload the car.
Second Uncle Xia's aura has changed completely. He stayed for a moment at first, and then he came to Old Man Xia, and his father said shortly. It's just saying that you are busy in the city and can't get out. He also said that he is now working for others, and he can't help but make his own decisions about many things.
Xia Zhi was surprised to find that Second Uncle Xia at this time was not only gone, but he was also a child. Moreover, he was miraculously shorter.
Second Uncle Xia, this can be regarded as a vivid interpretation of what it means to be low and small, and what it is to be coquettish and stupid.
Xia Zhi has a certain premonition, and Old Man Xia's anger towards his second son may not be supported for a long time.
Sure enough, gradually, Old Man Xia's expression eased. However, he was still counting Second Uncle Xia.
"You can't come back, you can't let people say anything? I've sent you several letters, but you haven't heard back at all. If I didn't know that you were fine, if I hadn't been able to leave, I would have to go into the city to find you!" Old Man Xia's tone was very stern, but as long as anyone with eyes and ears could detect it, there was still a strong concern hidden in this stern tone.
"Dad, I wasn't in Fucheng at that time, and the master of the prison sent me to Tongcheng on an errand. The old ladies don't know how to find someone to tell me. As soon as I came back, she remembered to say that she was afraid that the wheat would rot in the ground, and the family would have nothing to eat......
"I said her right then. I told her that there is our father and brother at home, and even if we don't go back, our father and brother can take back the family well. Our family is not like those who eat noisy goose fights. I told her to wait and wait for the new wheat noodles to come back. Who makes our family have a good atmosphere, we have a good father, a good mother and a good brother...... Hey, hey, hey......"
Although Old Man Xia still had a straight face, he didn't seem to be very angry anymore.
Xia Zhi secretly gave thirty-two likes to Second Uncle Xia. Second Uncle Xia knows where Old Man Xia's itch is, and every word is directed to Old Man Xia's preferences.
“…… It's raining, thanks to your brother, and sixteen, they ...... the bridge" Old man Xia told Second Uncle Xia about the hardships of harvesting wheat, as well as the hardships of the family. He didn't say anything about himself, only said that the reason why Second Uncle Xia's wheat was able to be recovered was thanks to Third Uncle Xia's family and Xia Zhi's family.
"I knew it. Second Uncle Xia immediately made a look of gratitude. He also clasped his fists at Second Uncle Xia and Xia Zhi, "I'm a brother, and I'm an uncle here." My heart is so warm......"
Third Uncle Xia was forced to come to him by Second Uncle Xia and bowed so much, and his face immediately turned red. He said loudly: "No, second brother, you don't have to be like this, it's all your own brother......"
"Yes, they're all my own brothers, that's nothing to say. Your sister-in-law or your nephew and niece can eat new wheat noodles, and you can't forget that you are good as an uncle. ”
Uncle Xia San just said no, and there was nothing else to say.
Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and snorted softly.
Second Uncle Xia was busy saying words of gratitude to Xia Zhi again, and said a lot of good things, anyway, good words don't cost money.
Xia Zhi looked at Old Man Xia and knew that he had already loosened. It is estimated that he will teach Second Uncle Xia a lesson later, and let Second Uncle Xia take the wheat away. Look at Uncle Xia again, Uncle Xia has already forced Second Uncle Xia's words just now, and he will not stop Second Uncle Xia.
However, Xia Solstice will not let Second Uncle Xia take away the wheat so easily. (To be continued.) )
