At the moment in the front yard, the summer solstice has not slept yet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When she returned to the front yard, Sun Lan'er was already waiting for her while doing needlework. Seeing Xia Solstice coming back, Sun Lan'er smiled on her face, fetching water for Xia Zhi to wash Xia Zhi, and packing the packages that Xia Zhi brought back, and was busy laying bedding for Xia Zhi, so that Xia Zhi could rest early.

Usually, Tian doesn't do these things, but today he is unusual, and he is also helping by the side.

The changes in Tian's family, how can the summer solstice not be seen. This kind of change should have happened step by step after seeing the two carts of things she brought home, as well as the incident she said later in Fucheng.

Tian now knew that she had a large sum of money in her hands, and she was going to do a big business.

This kind of thing, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it for long. The summer solstice doesn't care.

Xia Zhi bought some things in Fucheng by herself, and she also picked some of the things sent by Tian Qi, Tian Laibao, and Tian Kuo and took them back to the front yard. Sun Lan'er admired while helping Xia Zhi clean up her things. Tian's eyes were also bright, but she didn't show it as bluntly as Sun Lan'er.

After washing up on the summer solstice, he walked back and sat on the edge of the kang.

"Sixteen, why did you bring back these old things!" Sun Lan'er This is actually not a question, but an exclamation. Just now, Xiao Shu'er had already told her about the experience of Xia Zhi in Fucheng, and Sun Lan'er knew the origin of these things.

"That's a lot. Xia Zhi smiled, "Sister Lanzi, I'll take you to the backyard tomorrow, and there are a lot of rare things." ”

On the summer solstice, he took out some fresh fruits and let everyone share them, mainly for Sun Lan'er to taste them. Then she also picked out a ruler and compared it with Sun Lan'er's body.

"I think this is especially special with Sister Lanzi. "Xia Zhi said to give the ruler to Sun Lan'er.

Sun Lan'er hurriedly refused: "No, no, this is too much, too expensive." ”

"Sister Lanzi gives it to you, you can keep it. You don't have to take it back, just let me here, and cut you another day to make two new sets of clothes. "Xia Zhi said that the season is about to change, and Sun Lao Wu and Sun Wang will not prepare clothes for Sun Lan'er to change the season.

Everyone persuaded Sun Lan'er to accept the ruler in the end.

After that, Xia Zhi picked two more rulers, and also distributed some pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things to Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er. Xiao Shu'er's happy sister and elder sister circled around Xia Zhi for a short time, and said that she would go with Xia Zhi to harvest cotton, and then begged Xia Zhi if she could take him with her next time she entered the city.

It will be convenient to buy a house in Fucheng, and when the time comes, you can also take Xia Qiao and Xiaoshu'er to Fucheng to visit, and even bring Sun Lan'er.

"I'll take a look," Xia Zhi decided in his heart, but he didn't want to say it directly, "Looking at next year's Shangyuan Festival, didn't you say that there are lanterns in Fucheng." When the time comes, it will depend on the situation, and if possible, I will take you into the city to see the lanterns. ”

Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er both laughed, and Xiao Shu'er simply cheered.

Tian was a little silent next to her, but her gaze swept over Xia Zhi's body from time to time. Summer Solstice noticed. She thought about it for a while, and then took a ruler and gave it to Tian.

"Mother, you can also buy two clothes. ”

Tian didn't want to accept it, and Xia Zhi didn't persuade him much. In the end, Tian still took the ruler over. "I also got something for my daughter. ”

Xia Zhi smiled, because he didn't see Erya, so he asked.

Tian told Xia Zhi that Er Ya happened to go to the town to accompany the eldest girl today. It seems that the relationship between the eldest girl and Liu Fatzi has been repaired, and while Liu Fatzi is not there, the eldest girl asked the second girl to go to the town.

This really responded to the couple, the husband and wife quarreled, the bedside quarreled and the end of the bed was reconciled.

Xia Zhi has no psychological meeting, just ask.

Tian hesitated, and finally took advantage of Sun Lan'er's temporary outing before she spoke to Xia Zhi. "Xia Zhi, if you don't have any money, then I won't say it. You must have a lot of money in your hand now, and you can't even eat all of what other people have given you. You're leaking a little bit between your fingers......"

"Who did you leak it to?" Xia Zhi asked, still smiling on his face, and his tone was already very cold.

Tian was a little annoyed and angry, but today, she would no longer lose her temper with Xia Zhi. "Who else can there be, our relatives, who is the most difficult at home and needs to be taken care of the most. ”

"Didn't I lend money to Sister June? "The summer solstice said.

"You!" Tian couldn't help Xia Zhi, "Why don't you look down on the people of your grandmother's family." You see that you are kind to Lanzi, and to June, even if you take out half of your kindness to your grandmother's family......"

"Do they have anything to look up to. Xia Zhi sneered, "Mother, how many times have I said it." Don't mention it again in the future, okay?"

"Summer solstice!" Tian looked at Xia Solstice and knew that Xia Solstice was serious. She was angry and helpless, so she had to turn around and go back to the East House.

Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er both looked at the summer solstice.

"Brother, Xiaoshu'er, our life will be better in the future, but we have nothing to do with the Tian family of Tun'er. What is it now, and what it will be like in the future. "She won't take out money and things to fill that bottomless pit just because she is rich.

Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er both nodded.

In this matter, Xia Solstice said that it counted.

……

A good night's sleep.

The next day, when Xia Solstice went to the backyard for breakfast, Mrs. Xia first told her that she agreed to let the little black fish accompany her to harvest cotton.

"Can't stop it. Your uncle will listen to you now. You're doing business, if you can't take him, just tell him directly. ”

"It's okay, it's good that my uncle is willing to follow me. He can also help me settle the scores. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Old Lady Xia smiled with her eyebrows: "Don't always praise him like this." He can go to heaven. Then, Mrs. Xia went to make breakfast. "Li Xia and your uncle are in the backyard. ”

On the summer solstice, I walked through the hall to the backyard.

Li Xia and the little black fish are washing up in the backyard. Both of them were wearing only trouser gowns, Li Xia was brushing her teeth elegantly, and the little black fish was tilting her head, rumbling in her throat, and rinsing her mouth.

Daqing wagged his tail and walked around the well platform, and when he saw that the summer solstice was coming, he ran over briskly and snorted and rubbed Xia Solstice's legs.

Xia Zhi touched a handful of big green, and the feel of the fur was still so good.

Li Xia brushed his teeth, greeted Xia Zhi, and continued to wash his face. Then I also asked Xia Solstice about his plans for today.

"I can't go out today. My grandfather just told me that he would take me around, look at cotton, and teach me how to choose cotton on the spot. The other thing is to tell others again and confirm the cotton harvest. Xia Zhi told Li Xia, "I don't know if Brother Yuelai can send the livestock today." ”

"If he doesn't send it, what are you going to do?" Li Xia asked.

"Then we can't wait, we can catch our car and go around. "The summer solstice said. Now there are many merchants who harvest cotton, and she cannot be left behind.

Li Xia nodded.

The little black fish hurriedly finished washing, and came over to tell Xia Zhi that he wanted to accompany Xia Zhi. "Okay, my grandmother said it just now, and she and my grandfather agreed. ”

The little black fish was happy and proud, and took Daqing to Sahuan.

Xia Zhi spoke to Li Xia in a low voice. The vegetable patch in the backyard is a new scene at the moment, the vegetables and vegetables in the summer are gone, and the garden is lush and green, only the leeks that grow one by one, and now they are a little old. Then there are the little cabbage and spinach that have just grown and are not yet palm-high.

Eggplant, dry cucumber and August busy beans are also about to be drawn.

Xia Zhi and Li Xia talked and laughed, and it wasn't until Mrs. Xia came to the door to greet them for dinner that the two of them realized that time passed quickly. Back in the landlord's house, Xia Solstice found that it was past breakfast.

Mrs. Xia was still afraid that they would be hungry, so she went over to call them.

After breakfast, Old Man Xia cleaned up the neatness first, and then asked if Xia Zhi was ready. Xia Zhi nodded, and the two of them brought Li Xia, Xiao Heiyuer and Da Qing casually, and then came out of the house.

They went first to the cotton fields.

Many people are still busy picking cotton peaches. They were all uniformly equipped, with a bag tied around their waists like an apron, and the peachies they picked were thrown into the bag, and when the bag was full, it was sent to the ground.

Picking cotton is not an easy job.

Old Man Xia talked to the big guy all the way, knowing that Xia Zhi brought back money from Fucheng, as long as he sent the cotton to Xia's house, he would be able to get the cash, and everyone laughed happily.

Xia Zhi also told everyone: "The cotton is clean, and if you don't play it, you will send it and we will harvest it." But the price is different. ”

"That's for sure. The big guys laughed.

Some people are willing to do this in order to save trouble. And the idea of the summer solstice is to provide convenience, so that more cotton can be purchased.

Old Man Xia took Xia Zhi into the ground again and told her about the quality of cotton peaches and how to tell them apart. Then, Old Man Xia took Xia Zhi over one by one.

Everyone said that cotton would not be sold to others, but would definitely be sold to the summer solstice.

"We have to buy our own little girl in the village, we can't sell it to others. "And they also have a lot of convenience in selling to the summer solstice.

When she saw the cottonseeds that had been packed in one place, Xia Zhi's heart moved, and she immediately told everyone that she also bought cottonseeds.

Cottonseed oil extraction also has many uses. And Xia Zhi already has another plan in his heart at this moment.

When it was almost noon, Xiao Shu'er came to say that Qian Yue was coming.

Qian Yue came to do a good job, and this time she came to bring the livestock selected for the summer solstice.

Two small donkeys with gray hair and a snow-white belly.

When Xia Zhi asked people to give Qian Yuelai a letter, he didn't say that he had to have any cattle. Qian Yuelai made her the decision and bought a donkey.

Compared to mules, donkeys are shorter and more suitable for girls' mounts.

I watched movies and TV series before the summer solstice crossed, and now when I catch the market, I have also seen a girl riding a donkey on the road. But she didn't expect that one day she would also use the donkey as a means of transportation.

Xia Zhi, who was a little embarrassed, looked at the two donkeys carefully and found that they were quite good-looking.

Qian Yue took a lot of thought to choose these two animals.

"The age is also suitable, the temperament is very docile, and the foot strength is also very good. Qian Yuelai said with a smile next to him.

Xia Zhi suddenly found another question: "Brother Yuelai, you brought two donkeys, do you want me to pick one?"

"Huh?" Qian Yuelai was slightly surprised, and then subconsciously went to look at Li Xia.

Li Xia was rubbing the two little donkeys with a smile, and at this time he came over and told Xia Zhi that one of the donkeys was for him.

It turned out that when Li Xia left Daxingzhuang, he made up his mind to come back with Xia Zhi and accompany Xia Zhi to go out to buy cotton.

"I can't ride a big green mule and a big horse, and then you ride a little donkey alone. Li Xia smiled, and then gave Qian Yuelai a thumbs up, meaning to praise Qian Yuelai for choosing these two donkeys well.

"You get it again. Xia Zhi didn't know what to say, so he could only say a word to Li Xia.

Qian Yuelai was thoughtful, not only sent two donkeys, but also prepared a set of saddles. The one for the summer solstice is a set of big red, and the one for Li Xia is a set of stone blue.

The two donkeys look very similar, but they can still be seen in size. Li Xia meant, he wanted the one to be a little taller.

Xia Zhi's kitchen knife glanced at Li Xia.

Li Xia is a young man with long legs. Looking at herself, although her legs are not short, her whole body is shorter than Li Xia after all. Xia Zhi didn't fight with Li Xia.

"Sixteen, let's give them both a name. Li Xia said to Xia Zhi.

"The name, this is simple, let's call it Big Gray and Little Gray. Xia Solstice said immediately.

Li Xia smiled: "This name is good, simple and clear, good." "There's no need to make a draft at all.

Xia Zhi sneered: "Your head is called Little Ash, and my head is called Big Ash." ”

Because of the names of the two donkeys, Li Xia and Xia Zhi had a brief conflict, but in the end, it naturally ended in Li Xia defeating and admitting defeat. Everyone next to them couldn't help laughing, and they all thought in their hearts, whether it was Li Xia or Xia Zhi, they were actually children.

Qian Yuelai stayed for lunch, and told Xia Zhi a lot of what he had seen, that is, where there was more cotton and better cotton. He knew that the summer solstice was going to buy cotton, so he deliberately paid attention to it and asked about it.

Regarding the affairs of the Xia family, Qian Yuelai is very concerned.

"I also met Sister June. Qian Yuelai told everyone again. June and Gu Yong have already returned home and started to buy a merchandiser and grocery store.

The grocery store is to use their own house, and they can make a grocery store by renovating the front by themselves.

"I think Sister June's family is quite motivated. Qian Yuelai said with a smile again.

Xia Zhi nodded with relief in his heart, and Old Man Xia was even more happy.

Qian Yuelai stayed at Xia's house for a night, and early the next morning, he set off with Xia Zhi, Little Black Fish, and Li Xia. They have a part of the same road. Qian Yue came to catch the car, Xia Zhi sat in the big ash, Li Xia sat in the small ash, and then sat a little black fish in front of him, and Daqing trotted all the way to follow him.

They walked together for a while, and they parted at an intersection with a huge poplar tree on the side of the road.

The first stop of the summer trip to this place is also the main destination, Xiangyang Town, the largest cotton-producing area in Beizhen Province.
