Chapter 476: Ambition
has been back in Fucheng for a few days, and this day is the day when Aunt Xia and Xia Zhi have discussed, and everyone will discuss the matter of Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan together. Xia Zhi originally planned to wait for Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Shu'er to come back from the school, she took the two children to have dinner in Ninghua Hall, and then left the two children in Ninghua Hall to do their homework, and she came to Aunt Xia's house.
But Aunt Xia told them to go to Xishi Street for dinner. It was difficult to resist the hospitality, and agreed after the summer solstice. When Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Heiyu'er came back from school, she waited for Xia Xiucai and Tian while cleaning up.
Aunt Xia also invited Xia Xiucai and Tian. Xia Zhu has a total of these family members and relatives in Fucheng, and of course everyone has to go at this time.
"We'll have dinner there later, and we'll discuss things, but nothing will happen to you two. You two went up to Pearl's house and did your homework, do you hear?"
The little black fish and the little tree glanced at each other, but neither of them squeaked.
Xia Zhi raised his head and laughed twice: "You didn't hear me, or you don't plan to do your homework?"
"It's not. "Little Heiyuer just wanted to fight with Xia Zhi, saying that discussing Xia Zhu's matter today is also a big thing, can you ......
"No, you can't. Without waiting for the little black fish to finish speaking, Xia Zhi categorically refused. Vacation or something, absolutely not. "Uncle, little tree, let's stay in our hometown for a long time, you two haven't had enough fun! If you don't do your homework well, I won't take you with me next time I go to Zhuangzi. ”
The little black fish sighed, and then gave the little tree a helpless look. Xiao Shu'er, this kid is a thief, he knows that the little black fish's words are better than his words on the summer solstice, so when he encounters something, he will pry the little black fish out. It's not that the little black fish doesn't understand what Xiao Shu'er means, but he is a person who loves to get ahead.
This look was seen by Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi immediately counted down the little tree: "Are you trying to play because your uncle is not doing his homework well?"
"No, no. Xiao Shu'er hurriedly waved her hand and explained, "Sister, where do I dare." Saying this, he couldn't bear Xia Zhi's scrutinizing gaze after all, so Xiao Shu'er had to confess. “…… Xishi Street Night Market is so lively, I just haven't been to it for a long time......"
It turned out that Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Shu'er's uncle and nephew wanted to visit the night market on Xishi Street.
"It's not playfulness, it's not playfulness!" Xia Zhi glared at Xiao Shu'er. Although she is strict with her homework with Little Tree and Little Black Fish, she is also well versed in the relaxation of learning and the law of motivation. "Not today. In two days, I will wait for each of you to save up enough for ten You, and I will give you a day off and take you to visit the night market on Xishi Street. ”
"Really?" the little black fish and the little tree were both surprised and delighted.
"It's still cooked. Xia Zhi smiled, "I don't care when I speak." ”
"Sixteen, you must talk and count. The little black fish immediately stared at Xia Zhi.
"A word is ......," Xia Zhi said.
"Horses are hard to chase. Little Black Fish and Little Tree rushed to answer.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and Xia Xiucai and Tian came. Xia Xiucai's expression was as usual, but Tian seemed to be a little sick. Erya still didn't talk much when she followed the two of them, but when she saw Xia Solstice, she immediately showed a smile.
Erya's smile was a little too deliberate. Since Er Ya followed Tian to Fucheng, she almost had a straight face when she saw the summer solstice. Such a change occurred after returning from Daxingzhuang this time.
Xia Zhi guessed that it should be Tian's aunt Jiang who said something to Erya and wanted Erya to get close to him.
That day in Linshui Town, the Jiang family didn't say anything. Yue Hong and Old Man Tian fought the method, and the Jiang family did not participate in the whole process, as if they hadn't seen or heard anything. However, when Xia Zhi was about to leave, the Jiang family still found an opportunity to go to Xia Zhi and say a few words.
Jiang solemnly saluted Xia Zhi, and said that he would miss her kindness for the rest of his life. Jiang also said that the eldest girl and the second girl are young, and their temperament is a little antique, and there are some things they don't understand now, but they will definitely understand it in the future, and they will be equally grateful for the summer solstice.
This should be talking about the summer solstice as the main hire of the eldest girl.
The Tian family is not only Yue Hong who understands, in fact, the Jiang family also understands it in her heart, at least she knows it clearly.
Er Ya should have listened to Jiang's words, but Er Ya's temperament is a little individual, and it seems that he can't really get close to the summer solstice from the bottom of his heart.
The eldest girl and the second girl are like this, and I don't know why. Xia Solstice didn't have time to think about this issue carefully. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, and she actually doesn't like the eldest and second girls very much.
Now that everyone has arrived, Xia Solstice asked the carriage to be prepared outside, and then a few people took the carriage to Xishi Street.
Aunt Xia is still far away from the Xia Solstice people. was welcomed into the courtyard, and Xia Zhi went to Aunt Xia's house to sit first. Everyone was sitting, including Pearl, only Sun Xiuzhi did not sit, but came out and went in to work and personally hand over tea and water.
Not only for the guests, Sun Xiuzhi also served the pearls very diligently, the tea was handed to the pearls, and the fruits were peeled for the pearls.
Aunt Xia didn't seem to be used to seeing it, as if she hadn't seen it at all.
Everyone else here is Sun Xiuzhi's elders, but Xia Zhi is the same generation as Sun Xiuzhi and is younger than Sun Xiuzhi, so he stood up and let Sun Xiuzhi sit.
"Sister-in-law, don't be busy. None of us are outsiders. You also come and sit down and talk. ”
Sun Xiuzhi refused to sit down, but it was obvious that Xia Solstice was very useful and happy to do so. "It's okay, I'm used to it. It's just that I'm not an outsider, so I have to take care of it myself. ”
The words are very good, and the attitude is also very good, but the sentence "I'm used to this" still faintly reveals a little emotion.
Xia Zhi's heart is bright, but it's hard to say anything.
Aunt Xia is also a very transparent person, and she immediately beckoned Sun Xiuzhi to sit down. "How many times have I told you, you kid? There are people working below, you take care of it for me~ and arrange it for them. Just like your sixteenth sister said, there are no outsiders here, let's not be that showmanship, you sit down, let's chatter. ”
The words and attitude are also very good, but that fancy sentence corresponds to the habit. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been going back and forth for a round without moving.
With such a family environment as Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo, people like Aunt Xia and Sun Xiuzhi will inevitably have these. If you change to a more complicated family and a more individual person, you really don't know what the situation will be. A battlefield without gunsmoke?!
Just thinking about it is a headache, but fortunately, she is still young in her body, so she doesn't have to worry about these things.
Sun Xiuzhi listened to Aunt Xia's words, and then sat down next to her, but she also sat in a regular and upright manner, unlike Pearl who sat comfortably.
This is the difference between an aunt and a new daughter-in-law at home.
After a few words, Changsheng came over with Xia Zhu. He took Xia Zhu out to run errands before returning to the door. Although Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan have already married, Guo Xi said that it was in Daxingzhuang, and there was no wine banquet in Fucheng, so Guo Yuhuan and Xia Zhu lived together when it was not good.
Guo Xi and his family have always had a lot of things, and the Xia family didn't care about this matter. Xia Zhu has been living in Aunt Xia's house for the past few days, Changsheng not only helped Zhang Luo with the banquet, but also deliberately took Xia Zhu out for a walk, on the one hand, to make Xia Zhu more familiar with the city, on the other hand, it is also to let Xia Zhu see more people, in the future, everyone will know that Xia Zhu is not only the uncle of Guo Xi's family, but also the nephew of Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo, and will always bring some convenience to Xia Zhu.
Xia Zhu is the first time he has left home alone, although he is young, he is already a little gloomy, and now he is forced to put on a smiling face when he sees people in the environment, but his smile seems to have a hint of gloom.
The men of the Xia family are introverted such as Third Uncle Xia and Xia Qiao, and extroverted such as Second Uncle Xia, Little Black Fish, and Xiao Shu'er, everyone's temperament tends to be warm and cheerful, and they don't know who Xia Zhu is with, and the appearance of Yin and Yin is a little different from the Xia family.
Xia Zhi was originally general to Xia Zhu, but at this time, because he understood that he lived alone in the Guo family, he was much kinder to him than before.
"Erzhu, it's been a few days, are you still used to it?" Xia Zhi asked Xia Zhu.
"Habit. My aunt and uncle treated me well. There are also elder brothers, sisters-in-law, and pearls, just like at home. Xia Zhu said with some exaggeration. This mouth is with Second Uncle Xia, who can speak well and say nice things.
With this, Xia Zhu's life in the future will not be too sad.
"Look at you kid talking so politely. Aunt Xia smiled and said, "Sixteen asked you if you were used to it, not if we treated you well." ”
"Ah......" Xia Zhu seemed to have just reacted, he thought about it, and said the truth. He's a little homesick.
Everyone sighed secretly.
But Xia Zhu then said: "If only my father and my mother could come." ”
"The second uncle and aunt will definitely be able to come to see you in the future. Xia Zhi said that as for moving to Fucheng permanently because of his relationship, it was impossible.
"Oh. Xia Zhu answered, and it wilted again.
The little black fish didn't like Xia Zhu very much, and he immediately counted Xia Zhu: "Sixteen talks to you, can't you be happy?"
Xia Zhu was still very afraid of the little black fish, so he immediately cheered up: "It's good, I'm good here, there's nothing unaccustomed." ”
Pearl couldn't help but laugh out loud when she was next to her.
Aunt Xia's meal had already been prepared, because the Xia family had arrived, so she asked people to send a letter to Guo Xi and his family. Soon, Guo Xi and his family came over with Guo Yuhuan.
Back in Fucheng, Guo Xi's spirit and spirit are obviously different. But they didn't dare to pose in front of the summer solstice, so they were polite to the Xia family.
Everyone sat down and had a polite meal. Then Xia Solstice, as she said before, arranged for Little Black Fish and Little Tree to go to Pearl's house to do their homework.
Aunt Xia's room had tea and snacks, and everyone sat down and began to discuss things.
Guo Xi first said what he meant. He still said that Guo Yuhuan was their only child, so the banquet in Fucheng wanted to be more grand and lively, that is, to prepare a few more tables of banquets.
According to Guo Xi's calculations, at least thirty tables of seats must be prepared.
Xia Zhi didn't say anything yet, and the faces of Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo changed slightly. Needless to say, Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo also knew that this figure was a bit exaggerated.
The Guo family has no relatives, and the people Guo Xi can invite to do things are the peers he has made over the years, and then there are neighbors. Thirty tables, this is going to invite all the people in West Market Street.
And Guo Xi still has something to say. "Our old Guo family is just this one daughter, and we have followed the ceremony over the years. Besides, Xia Zhu is the grandson of the Xia family, and the Xia family is not an ordinary family, and he is afraid that the people who come will not be able to sit down if he holds dozens of tables in the city. ”
not only took into account the neighbors of Xishi Street, but also calculated the acquaintance of Xia Zhi in Fucheng, that is, the people of the Tian family and the Li family.
After Guo Xi finished speaking, Xia Zhi didn't speak immediately, she glanced at Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo. Aunt Xia immediately gave Uncle Guo a look.
Uncle Guo coughed dryly and said, "...... Brother, isn't that a bit much?"
"Not much, not much, I'm not afraid it's enough. Guo Xi immediately waved his hand and said.
Uncle Guo was a little embarrassed, but he had to say some things. “…… There is no one in our family anymore, plus the closest friends, mainly because they have been discussed earlier, and it is simpler, we are all ordinary people. ”
According to the calculations of Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo, it is enough for Guo Xi to prepare five or six tables. And Guo Xi's thirty-table plan is clearly intended to make money. And if he wants to succeed, he should include all the connections of Xia Zhi, and when the time comes, he may have to pull the tiger skin and play the banner.
Because she thought of this, she didn't need Xia Zhi to speak by herself, Aunt Xia resolutely stopped in front. Although Uncle Guo was a little longing for his brother, he also felt that Guo Xi's thirty tables were too much.
The two sides could not reach an agreement on this matter for a while.
Guo Xi was a little unhappy that Uncle Guo was not on his side, and in the end he asked Xia Zhi's opinion. Before asking Xia Zhi's opinion, he also praised Xia Zhi.
“…… This is only this time in this life, and Erzhu can also know more people, which will be of great benefit to him in the future. "It means that this is mainly for the reputation of the Xia family, as well as for the sake of Xia Zhu and the future.
Guo Xi didn't ask Xia Xiucai, nor did he ask Tian, he only asked Xia Zhi, because he had lived in the Xia family for so long, and he had long known that the person who could be the master of the house was Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi patiently listened to Guo Xi's words, and smiled faintly. "My aunt and my uncle are right. The Xia family is an ordinary family, and my father's meaning has long been made clear, just do it simply. Erzhu and Yuhuan will not be on this in the future. …… Set up a few tables, only invite the nearest ones, and live a good life is the most important thing. ”
