Xia Zhi felt that Xia Zhu had bad intentions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Did he say this on purpose to scare her, or did he really know something? Thinking so, he noticed that Xia Zhu's gaze kept rolling on her face, and Xia Zhi refused to show any emotion. She just asked Xia Zhu naturally: "Erzhu, when will my mother come back?"
didn't see the panic and fear on Xia Zhi's face, Xia Zhu was a little disappointed. He continued to stare at Xia Solstice and told her, "It is estimated that it will be these two days." ”
"Is the second uncle going to pick up my mother back?" Xia Zhi asked again.
"Oh......" As soon as Xia Zhu opened his mouth, he pursed his mouth again. He smiled and asked Xia Zhi, "Fourth sister, I heard that you~ mother is coming back, why aren't you afraid?"
Xia Zhi was even more sure in her heart, she didn't misunderstand Xia Zhu. Xia Zhu really has bad intentions.
Tian should have been working as a vegetable collector in Xiaowangzhuang for a month, and it was far from time to come back. But Xia Zhu was very sure, when she asked if it was Second Uncle Xia who took Tian back, although he didn't say anything, his body language had betrayed him.
Tian is going to come back sooner or later, and if he wants to scare her with this, he really underestimated her.
Xia Zhi asked Xia Zhu with a straight face: "Erzhu, what are you talking about? My mother is back, why should I be afraid?"
At this time, it happened that Old Man Xia came back from outside. Xia Zhi didn't hesitate at all, so he told Old Man Xia what Xia Zhu had just said. "Master, Erzhu said that my mother will come back in these two days. He also asked me if I was afraid. Master, is the second uncle and second aunt going to take my mother back?"
Old Man Xia didn't answer, just looked at Xia Zhu.
Xia Zhu couldn't sit still on the bench. He hurriedly stood up and said to Old Man Xia: "Master, I'm just joking with the fourth sister and teasing her." After saying this, without waiting for Old Man Xia to reprimand, he slipped away.
"Master!" Xia Zhi looked at Old Man Xia.
Old man Xia had a black face and luck.
Mrs. Xia led a few children back, and she asked Old Man Xia what was wrong with Xia Zhu and how he ran so fast. "It's like there's something chasing after you!"
"I'm afraid I'll ask him!" Old Man Xia replied angrily.
"Master, don't be too angry with Erzhu. Xia Zhi persuaded Old Man Xia, "Actually, Erzhu is very good today, and he accompanied my uncle and Noble to go out to play for half a day before coming back." ”
Old Man Xia was slightly surprised, and looked at the little black fish.
The little black fish nodded: "Hmm." We wouldn't let him follow, he wouldn't have to. Nothing will get in the way. Then, he also glanced at Tian Laibao.
Tian Laibao had already come to Xia Zhi unnoticed, and looked down at the purse sewn in Xia Zhi's hand.
The little black fish approached Old Man Xia, put his mouth together with his little hands, and said in a low voice: "Erzhu is coming to Baolai, but it's annoying." ”
Old Man Xia snorted, then thought about it, turned around and walked out of the house, saying that he was going to find Second Uncle Xia.
……
After dinner, Xia Zhi said to Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er: "Mother is coming back." ”
Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er were taken aback and looked at Xia Solstice in confusion. Xia Zhi simply told Xia Zhu's words to the two of them.
"Erzhu is that character. He deliberately scares you. Xia Qiao said.
"I don't think so. Xia Zhi didn't think so, "Big brother, second uncle and second aunt are people who can't be idle." ”
Xiao Shu'er didn't understand much, but Xia Qiao understood, but he still didn't want to believe it: "Can't." ”
"Let's see. "The summer solstice doesn't talk much.
At the end of the night, Sun Lan'er sighed: "Sixteen, my aunt is coming back, and I can't be your companion." "Her happy days are coming to an end.
"Sister Lanzi, even if my mother comes back, we will still be the same. Xia Zhi told Sun Lan'er that she could still come to sleep with her at night in the future.
"At most, I will come to stay for a few nights, and I'm afraid it won't work if I have more. Sun Lan'er was very sad.
"Sister Lanzi, we always have a way. Xia Solstice could only comfort her.
Sun Lan'er thought about it, and smiled at Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, being able to live a good life in the past few days is something I never thought of. I should be content. ”
When she said this, the summer solstice was uncomfortable.
……
Backyard East Wing
There are three wings, the hall is made of stoves, and the two south rooms have a partition in the middle of the evening. Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia led Xia Zhu and Xia Yang to live in the outer room, and the sisters May and July lived in the inner room.
It was already night, except for Xiao Xia Yang, Second Uncle Xia's family was lying on their backs on the kang, and no one was asleep.
“…… What kind of person is our father, and what kind of things have he never experienced. He has already seen through it, and we can do it~ It's not a secret. Second Uncle Xia's tone was faint.
"His father is an antique. Aunt Xia was indignant, "If you want to put others aside, even if we can't think of it, he should arrange it for his granddaughter in front." The gold ingots that fell from the sky, he didn't pick them up himself, and he didn't let us pick them up. When the old man watched us eat bran vegetables, he was happy. ”
"It's useless to say anything. Second Uncle Xia sighed, "I have promised our father, when we catch the market one day, we will go to see each other's grandson." ”
"I'm not going. Through the partition, May said angrily.
"You don't go anywhere!" Second Uncle Xia kicked his legs impatiently, "You~ Master is angry, let's not think about living in the future." ”
"Why can't you!" related to herself, May really couldn't lie down, so she sat up. "Why are we so afraid of my father. Look at my eldest mother, why aren't people afraid! Sold my eldest sister and didn't let me go to school with Brother Daqiao and Xiaoshu'er! What did my grandfather do to her? Didn't let the family subdue her! My uncle's share, my aunt said whatever it is! My grandfather is still so good to sixteen of them!"
The voice landed, and the needle drop could be heard in the east wing.
After a while, Second Uncle Xia spoke faintly again: "We can't compare with your eldest mother." Lao Tian's family, she is really open-minded, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes. ”
"If you wear shoes barefoot, you're not a showman. You are a showman, we don't have to split up and look at his father's face!" Aunt Xia suddenly said.
Xia Zhu sighed meaninglessly.
No one saw Second Uncle Xia's face, he laughed twice: "That's right, who made me not a showman!" Therefore, he has to rely on his father in many aspects, and he doesn't dare to really turn his face with his father.
When he says that, it's hard for others to say anything more.
"The grandson of the old Zhao family, we have to go and see each other. Second Uncle Xia said again.
"It's people who look at us in May. His father's temper, if people don't say it's bad, they must press our head and let us agree. "Aunt Xia is full of resentment.
May cried profusely: "I don't give a daughter-in-law to the croppers. I'm worse than my sister Juanzi, even if I'm not better than her in the future, I can't be worse than her. …… When the time comes, your face will not look good, and you still expect me to be able to take care of my mother's family like Sister Juanzi!"
"Don't cry!" Second Uncle Xia stopped his daughter in a deep voice, "Let's look at each other." I didn't say yes. When the time comes, let's think of a way and find an excuse, and our father can't force it!"
"That's it. Aunt Xia immediately said.
May didn't cry anymore.
Second Aunt Xia asked Second Uncle Xia again: "Then ...... about Noble Treasure?"
Second Uncle Xia wanted her to stop thinking, but he knew that his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were hot, and he mobilized his son. If you say no at once, they will definitely not be able to stand it. Moreover, he is also a little unwilling.
"Watch slowly, don't be in a hurry. If our father doesn't agree, he won't say it, Grandma Tian San is the number one person who is not easy to mess with. ”
"I also want to be slow, let's catch up with the New Year in May on the fifteenth, and if it's slow, we won't be in a hurry. ”
"Hey, it's too late for this field to come to the treasure. Second Uncle Xia sighed.
There was silence in the room again, and then May burst into tears again. She heard the meaning of Second Uncle Xia's words, no matter how good Tian Laibao was, it was impossible for her. Even if Second Uncle Xia still has thoughts about Tian Laibao, it is for July.
"Sister, why are you still crying?" July was suddenly pinched by May on the arm, and screamed in pain.
"Be quiet!" Second Uncle Xia reprimanded in a low voice.
"Where is the sister-in-law......" Second Aunt Xia asked Second Uncle Xia.
"I passed it all over, and it was just a few days ago. Even if our father is suspicious, he can't grasp our handle, don't worry. Second Uncle Xia said, "When the sister-in-law comes back, you can do it." As soon as she makes a fuss, when the time comes, our father won't have the heart to keep an eye on us. ”
"Sixteen is very happy these days, this time she should suffer a little more, and she will cry in the future!" May's tone of hatred.
"Yes. July immediately agreed, "Let my aunt sell her and marry Tian Dabao!"
……
The next day, just after breakfast on the summer solstice, Layue and Xiao Xialin ran over.
"Fourth sister," Layue ran out of breath, "Fourth sister, let me tell you something. ”
Xia Zhi let her take a breath and speak again: "What's the matter?"
"Our master told the third sister a kiss, and said that the next episode will go to the town to see each other. Layue gasped slightly, and her face was still red.
The little girl's family at this age has great enthusiasm and concern for the little sister's family affairs.
The fact that Old Man Xia found his mother-in-law for May is not news to Xia Zhi. She just wondered: "Second uncle, did they agree?"
"Agreed!" replied Layue, "and said that there was no money to make new clothes for the third sister." Our master said that he paid for it and went to the town to buy cloth for the third sister when he was in the market. The second uncle said that he didn't need to go to the town, just buy a piece at the grocery store at the head of our village. The second uncle just took the money from our grandfather. ”
Xiao Xialin stood next to Layue's legs, Layue said quickly and quickly, he couldn't interject, so he leaned up on his bun face and nodded.
After Layue finished speaking, she was still excited: "Fourth sister, let's go to the market when the time comes." "She wanted to go on a blind date in May.
Xia Zhi really planned to go to the market, and she didn't have much interest in the blind date in May, but looking at Layue's eyes, she didn't say that: "You tell the third uncle and the third aunt, let's go." ”
"It would be best if our master was willing to take us. If our master doesn't want to take it, Fourth Sister, let's go by ourselves. If we don't have a car, we can walk. "Layue is worried that Old Man Xia will not take her, so she wants to come to the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi felt that this was all a trivial matter, and happily agreed.
……
When Xia Zhi arrived in the backyard, Old Man Xia was standing in the courtyard smoking dry cigarettes, and from his face, he seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing the summer solstice, Old Man Xia let her into the house.
"Your uncle is here, and your grandmother has cleaned up the table for you. ”
Xia Zhi agreed to go to the upper room, and when she walked past Old Man Xia, she suddenly stopped: "Master, why are you so happy today!"
"Hey!" Old Man Xia laughed, "Don't ask too much about your little child's family." Seeing that his granddaughter was about to achieve a good family affair in his eyes, of course Old Man Xia was happy, but this happiness couldn't be chatted with Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi smiled: "I know everything." Then he walked briskly into the house.
"This kid. Old Man Xia smiled, he was very spoiled, and he couldn't do anything about the summer solstice.
Tian Laibao came on time. Mr. Xia was happy today, and he also had time, so he personally watched the three children read and write. The east wing was quiet, and no one came to the upper room.
Near noon, Mrs. Xia went to the west wing to help her granddaughter make cakes and prepare lunch.
"Noble, you also stay and eat. "Layue also came to invite Tian Laibao.
Tian Laibao comes every day to bring snacks, and everyone has eaten them. He and Layue are also familiar with each other, and they know about the summer solstice's treat, and today Xia Solstice and the little black fish will go to Layue's house for dinner, Tian Laibao said a little politely, and agreed.
After doing their homework, the children went to the West Wing.
The layout of the West Wing is similar to that of the East Wing. Layue cleaned up the house, spread a mattress on the kang, set up a kang table, and invited the big guy to sit on the kang. There are jujubes and walnuts brought by Mrs. Xia, fried peanuts and hairy knocks prepared by Layue, as well as cherries, mixed salps, and miscellaneous sugars brought by the summer solstice, all of which are placed on the table, which is very entertaining.
They had just arrived in the West Wing, and they were here in May and July. The sisters are still wearing the clothes given by Luo Juan, and they fit better after the change. When they saw Tian Laibao, they all greeted each other very gently.
July was ashamed to answer.
May diligently wanted to help Mrs. Xia work hard to make soup, but Mrs. Xia didn't let her touch her hands. In July, I helped Layue pour water for the big guys.
"Why didn't you do anything when you were at my house!" said Xiao Shu'er peeling peanuts and eating them, as she said slowly in May and July.
Younger brothers are such creatures! especially when they are young and unscrupulous.
Xiao Shu'er didn't deal with May and July. He now only serves his sister Xia Zhi.
May went to the hall and pretended not to hear what Xiao Shu'er said. July's face suddenly turned red, and he wanted to choke the little tree, but looking at the summer solstice and the little black fish on the side, he didn't dare in the end. But the hard work she endured, all the faces were brought out.
Several children of the Xia family, except for Xia Qiao, who felt that he was too old to come, the rest arrived.
The lunch preparation of Layue is simple but practical, with white noodles and green onion pancakes, egg soup, and two side dishes sponsored by the summer solstice. The side dishes of the summer solstice are very popular in the Xia family these days, they taste good and go with rice.
Tian Laibao eats very fragrant, saying that the cake is delicious, the soup is delicious, especially the side dishes are particularly fragrant.
Everyone was happy to eat, and they ate quietly in May and July, and the sisters rushed to take care of their younger brother Xia Yang.
After the meal, Xia Zhu got a parasol out of nowhere and took the initiative to send Tian Laibao home. July didn't seem to be at ease, and followed out of the gate.
"Noble ~ brother, your family is so rich, are you used to eating this meal?"
