Although Old Man Xia and Tian were a little uncomfortable, because of the large number of people, this slightly embarrassing atmosphere was washed away a lot. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Tian is silent, although her attitude is still a little stretched, but because of the many visitors, she doesn't dare to be excessive. Xia Xiucai saw that Old Man Xia was coming, but he showed a little joy in addition to respect.

"Dad, you're here. Then it's ......" Xia Xiucai glanced at the courtyard in front of him, and guessed that Old Man Xia and the others came to see the pig slaughter, so he thought about accompanying him to the front.

Xia Zhi said before Xia Xiucai: "Master, let's go up to the house and sit for a while." ”

This sentence can give Xia Xiucai a wake-up call. Old man Xia and Tian did not get along, and they did not come to the front yard for many years. Isn't it a good opportunity for Old Man Xia to take the initiative to come today. Xia Xiucai was also busy putting Old Man Xia into the house.

Old Man Xia glanced at Tian.

"Master, don't worry, my mother's house has long been cleaned up, no worse than my grandmother's cleaning. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

This sentence praised Mrs. Xia and Tian at the same time.

Tian glanced at Xia Zhi, and took the initiative to open the curtain of the east house and invite Old Man Xia and the big guy into the house to sit.

Before they came, there were only Xia Xiucai and Tian in this room. The big guy entered the house and sat down, and Xia Zhi helped Tian's Zhang Luo tea and snacks to entertain everyone.

Tian is also prepared. Not only did she know that Xia Xiucai would come back today, but she also knew that someone would come to Fucheng. The tea leaves and tea sets were ready-made, and she didn't need to buy snacks and fruits, which had already been prepared there for the summer solstice.

The summer solstice was busy here, and in May, he brought over a few freshly fried foods. This is naturally Mrs. Xia's order.

Old Man Xia nodded secretly, Old Lady Xia is quite thoughtful and good at handling things in terms of human feelings.

After sitting in the house for a while, the little black fish was outside shouting Xia Zhi and Li Xia. Xia Zhi and Li Xia looked at each other and smiled, and came out of the house one after another.

This will work, and the two pigs have already been killed. Du Butcher and Lao Hei each have a case and are busy working.

"Sixteen, I'm waiting for you. The little black fish ran over and stood between Xia Zhi and Li Xia. Now that the family is in charge of the summer solstice, what to do with these two pigs after they are killed has to listen to the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi originally planned to leave half a fan of pork to eat for the New Year, but at this time he changed his mind. She told Lao Hei and Du Butcher that they didn't need to split the two pigs after washing and skinning them, and they just froze them.

The whole set of sewers was cleaned up and didn't move, and the summer solstice was going to be taken as a gift. Only the pig's blood was left, and she let Sun Lan'er, Daya, Erya, Aunt Xia and others help dilute it, and prepare to make blood tofu and eat it in a pot.

Xia Xiucai and Tian have not come out yet, and Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er have no objections. Xia Solstice is not the kind of person who lives a budget-conscious life, and he never treats the big guys badly when it comes to eating. Although their own pigs have to be set aside for gifts, they will not be left without meat to eat during the summer solstice.

"My pigs are fed more grain, and they are better than other people's pork. Xia Zhi quietly told Li Xia.

At this time, Old Man Xia and Xia Xiucai also walked out of the house. Old Man Xia knew about Xia Zhi's arrangement, so he quietly told Xia Zhi that he wanted to give gifts and his two pigs in the backyard.

"Master, you don't need to remind me, I just counted all the pigs in the backyard. Xia Zhi told Old Man Xia that she planned to give her two pigs to Li Xia and Mrs. Jiugu respectively. The two pigs killed by Mr. Xia in the backyard left a big piece of meat for the New Year, another pig for Tian Kuo, and a piece of meat for Tian Laibao. "I bought my third uncle's pig and gave it to Tian Mi'er's family. ”

"Okay. Old Man Xia nodded immediately. Li Xia, Tian Kuo, Tian Laibao and Tian Mi'er all gave many years of gifts, and Mrs. Jiugu also brought a gift to Tian Kuo. Mr. Xia had already read the gift list just now (he hadn't had time to see the things yet), and the gifts he gave in the past few days were very thick.

Although I went out to buy it before the summer solstice, I was more interested in what I produced.

Zhuanghu people are such a habit of doing ~ things, they would rather not eat themselves, but also make good things for human relations.

"The pigs we feed ourselves are better than the ones outside. Old Man Xia said that he was also a knowledgeable person, "Even if they have it in Zhuangzi, it may not be rare, but our minds have been fulfilled." ”

Xia Zhi nodded: "That's the reason." ”

"Your third uncle's pig doesn't need you to pay, I still have money. Old Man Xia whispered to Xia Zhi again.

After the grandfather and grandson finished discussing the business here, the Du butcher and Lao Hei over there had already washed and skinned the two pigs. Both of them guessed that the two pigs were going to give gifts, so they washed and peeled them with extra care. On the summer solstice, two pigs were offered to four porks, along with pig heads, water, etc., to the backyard to freeze first.

Everyone went back to the backyard as well.

At this time, the yard in the backyard had been cleaned up, and there was no trace of the pig killed just now, and there was no bad smell at all, obviously it had undergone special treatment.

Everyone returned to the upper room, and Xia Solstice came to see Tian Mi'er.

Mrs. Xia still has a lot of things to do, and she can't accompany Tian Mi'er all the time, so she asked Chen Xing'er and Layue to talk to Tian Mi'er. Among them, Chen Xing'er and Tian Mi'er are the closest in age, and the two little girls are very curious about each other's lives, and they are quite good.

The table next to Tian Mi'er was full of food, including freshly cooked french fries, French fries and potato chips. When the summer solstice was seen, he went to mix sweet herbal tea for Tian Mi'er and the little girls to drink.

"Mi'er, don't see outside when you come here, if you are not used to it, just say it. Xia Zhi said to Tian Mi'er again.

Tian Mi'er nodded and said with a smile that she was not used to anything. "It's all very good, the eldest lady is very thoughtful. As she spoke, Tian Mi'er also glanced behind Xia Zhi.

The little black fish didn't make the little tail of the summer solstice today, but there was too much excitement today, and the little black fish couldn't take care of it.

Xia Solstice was thinking of the little black fish, and the little black fish ran in from outside. He was also holding a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand.

"Mi'er, here you go. The little black fish handed the rock sugar gourd to Tian Mi'er.

Tian Mi'er's cheeks showed two cute little dimples. She took the sugar gourd and asked the little black fish: "Brother Xiaolong, you only bought it for me, don't you eat it yourself?"

Only then did the little black fish remember that he had forgotten his share in a hurry. "I don't eat it. You eat it. Then he saw the summer solstice. "Oops, forgot about sixteen. ”

"Brother Xiaolong, I can't eat this string, let's eat it together. Tian Mi'er meant to eat a string of sugar gourds with the little black fish and Xia Zhi.

At this time, Xia Qiao walked in from the outside, holding a lot of sugar gourds in both hands. "The sugar gourd is here. Xia Qiao came into the house and said with a smile.

"You've come just in time for the bridge. The little black fish was happy.

Xia Zhi took the sugar gourd from Xia Qiao and distributed it to the little girls in the house. There was still the rest, and she asked Xia Qiao to share it with other little radish heads.

"Brother, look at it, don't miss anyone. "Xia Zhi also instructed Xia Qiao.

"It's up to you to say that. Xia Qiao smiled and agreed. Just now, he saw the little black fish hurriedly buying a bunch of sugar gourds, and he thought that there were a lot of small radishes coming today, so he stopped the seller of sugar gourds and bought a lot of them and sent them in.

Xia Qiao is actually a very careful person.

The little black fish gave Tian Mi'er a sugar gourd, but he didn't run out to play immediately, but climbed to the edge of the kang and sat down, talking to Tian Mi'er while eating the sugar gourd. The two children handed over a sentence, and they chatted very well.

Xia Zhi sat next to him for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing to worry about, he walked out of the Westinghouse. Everyone in the hall is busy cooking and cooking.

Seeing that Xia Solstice came out, Mrs. Xia first asked her why she didn't accompany Tian Mi'er. "I can't get out of here, sixteen, it's better for you to accompany me. This meal or something, I'll bring your third aunt and these people over to Zhang Luo. ”

"My uncle accompanied Tian Mi'er to chat, and he chatted very well. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

"Is it......" Mrs. Xia looked at Westinghouse in disbelief, and then smiled, "With your uncle's leather appearance, can he sit?"

Summer solstice laughs.

Mrs. Xia didn't say anything more, so she discussed with Xia Zhi and said that she would use the big pot in the front yard to stew rice. There are many guests who came today, and the large and small stoves in the upper room and the east and west wings in the backyard are used and they are not too busy, so Mrs. Xia thought that there is a stove in the front yard.

Tian shook around the backyard just now, and pretended to help with some work, and then went back to the front yard. Mrs. Xia naturally wouldn't say anything about Tian's, and even Aunt Xia wouldn't work compared to Tian's. The special status of the Tian family has been taken for granted in the Xia family.

However, when it came to using the stove in the front yard, Mrs. Xia didn't go out of her way to discuss it with Tian. The summer solstice is here, and it is most convenient and comfortable to discuss with the summer solstice.

"Good. "Of course, there will be no objections to the summer solstice.

Mrs. Xia was busy weighing the rice, and asked Aunt Xia and Sun Lan'er to follow Xia Solstice to the front yard to stew rice.

Cooking rice on an iron pot and clay stove over a firewood fire is quite delicious, and it also requires a bit of technical content. In the era before the summer solstice, there were expensive rice cookers that claimed to be able to simulate rice cooked in a wood-fired stove.

Of course, the rice cooked in a pot is better than the rice cooked in an ordinary rice cooker, but it is far less delicious than the rice cooked in a real earthen stove.

Aunt Xia is very good at stewing rice, so Aunt Xia is responsible for the rice that is served today.

The three of them carried the rice to the front yard.

It was quiet inside and outside the house, and the eldest girl and the second girl were also helping in the backyard. Xia Zhi called out to his mother when he entered the hall, and Tian answered in the east room.

Then, Xia Zhi also heard Xia Xiucai's voice.

Xia Xiucai did not talk to the guests in the backyard, but raced against time to go back to the front yard to accompany Tian. The couple must be whispering.

Aunt Xia's face seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Mother, my third aunt and Sister Lanzi came over to stew rice in our pot. Xia Zhi informed the inside of the house, and then nodded to Sun Lan'er.

Sun Lan'er immediately put down the rice and went to the front to carry firewood and he.

Xia Zhi helped Aunt Xia San scoop water from the water tank and brush the pot.

Then, Tian finally came out of the house. When Aunt Xia saw Tian's, she shouted sister-in-law with a smile. Tian replied reservedly.

"Why are you cooking here?" Tian also asked Aunt Xia San.

"The stove in the backyard is too busy. Aunt Xia said.

"Ahh Tian's nonchalantly gaze swept over Xia Zhi's body.

Xia Zhi glanced at Tian with a smile. At this time, do you still need her to remind Tian to help? She didn't object to Tian and Xia Xiucai's affection, but in today's situation, it would be a bit unseemly for the two of them to do this.

Fortunately, Tian and Xia Xiucai are not stupid people.

Xia Xiucai then came out of the house, he greeted Aunt Xia San, and explained with a smile, saying that he went back to the front yard to get something, and then went to the back yard.

Tian hesitated for a moment and asked Aunt Xia if she wanted her to help.

Aunt Xia couldn't tell Tian's obviously polite attitude, so she replied with a smile and said no.

"That's okay, Xia Zhi, you are here to help your third aunt, I'll go to the backyard to see what kind of work there is. Tian also went to the backyard.

"It's all my grandfather and my grandmother who are easy to talk to, if it's me, I'm not used to my mother's temper. Xia Zhi told Aunt Xia San.

Aunt Xia San was no longer so uncomfortable at this time. She listened to Xia Zhi's words, and in turn defended Tian and Xia Xiucai. “…… There must be something, didn't you listen to your father? …… Besides, we can't compare with you~ Mother. You~ mother, that's a talented lady. If you follow your father in the city, there must be someone to serve you. ”

"Third aunt, you are such a good person. Xia Zhi smiled and diverted the topic.

The backyard is so lively, and the front yard is much quieter. Sun Lan'er and Aunt Xia occupied a stove to cook rice, and they didn't have to do it on the summer solstice, and asked the summer solstice to go back to the backyard to accompany the guests.

"I don't go, I enjoy my leisure. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

That being said, she really couldn't do that. But just when Xia Zhi was about to go back to the backyard, Li Xia and Tian Kuo actually came over.

"Sixteen, you're hiding here. Tian Kuo shouted towards the summer solstice when he entered the door.

"What do you mean by hiding, this is my home, and I can be wherever I like. Xia Zhi glanced at Tian Kuo, and then smiled, "Tian Kuo, you have a good face, you have been doing well for a while." ”

Tian Kuo smiled a little proudly: "It's okay, borrow sixteen of your auspicious words." ”

Li Xia coughed dryly.

"Come, come, come and sit in the house. Xia Zhi beckoned Li Xia and Tian Kuo to sit in the east house. There was also a mattress on the kang in the east room, and there was also a kang table in the room, and the tea and snacks on the table were ready-made.

Xia Zhi changed the hot tea for the two of them and changed the snacks again.

"Sixteen, don't be arrogant. We don't see you anymore. Tian Kuo said.

"That's what I said. But you two young masters have worked hard and come to our small place in the countryside in a busy time, and I always fulfill the friendship of the landlord, isn't it......" Xia Zhi said with a smile as he sat on the side.

"Don't say it, you killing New Year's pigs is really hilarious. Tian Kuo exclaimed.

Tian Kuo chattered endlessly with Xia Zhi, but Li Xia seemed a little quiet. He didn't speak, just looked at Xia Solstice with a smile.
