May is very precious to the baby in her belly. She hid the news of her pregnancy~ pregnancy from the old lady of the Zhang family and Zhang Fang, and secretly told the second uncle and second aunt Xia that she wanted to study a charter with her mother's family first, so as not to still suffer the loss of the old lady of the Zhang family this time.

Although she has the belief that the baby in her belly will win, May is not willing to suffer a loss on her daughter. She said that her experience over the years was very pitiful, and how rare and distressed she was.

“…… Sister, don't look at my mother-in-law's appearance of speaking and doing things seems to be quite bright, I'm afraid you have never seen such a domineering person in your life. Sister, I look forward to your coming back every day to call the shots for me. ”

May begged Xia Zhiyang to let her come forward to force the old lady of the Zhang family to return her daughter to herself. May also talked about the various disadvantages of the old lady of the Zhang family with her granddaughter. It sounds sinister, but when you think about it, it's not like that.

"Sister May, aren't you embarrassed by our sister. Layue said dissatisfiedly, "Grandma has a lot of grandchildren, and no one can say a mistake." ”

This is true.

The next generation is willing to take care of the children, you don't have to worry about anything, and many daughters-in-law are too late to be happy.

"If she takes care of the children like other people's families, then I don't have anything. But she, my mother-in-law, her conditioning Rong'er, hates me. Whose mother-in-law is like this. I don't feed this girl in vain!" May immediately cried out.

"It is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs. Old Lady Xia sighed.

In such a matter, Xia Zhi really can't interfere with it.

"Sister May, you are not weak. Why do you live like this?"

May was silent for a moment, then came back to her senses and recounted all the bad things about the old lady of the Zhang family.

Aunt Xia couldn't bear it beside her, so she also said to let Xia Zhi help.

"Second sister-in-law. Tian Mi'er opened her mouth. Crescent Yue'er, Sun Lan'er, and Layue are a generation shorter after all, and Mrs. Xia feels that she is not the mother of Second Uncle Xia, so they are not easy to say.

Although Tian Mi'er is young, she is the same generation as Aunt Xia, and she is a serious aunt in May.

"Our mother is right, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs. If it weren't for the sixteenth to support her, she would have been able to marry into the Zhang family as she wished? The road has been paved for you, so you have to go by yourself, and no one can replace you. ”

The matter between May and the old lady of the Zhang family can only be solved by May herself. Because what the old lady of the Zhang family did could be taken care of on the surface.

"May, your mother-in-law is amazing. But you also review and review yourself. If you hadn't thought so much and let your mother-in-law grab ~ so many pigtails, you wouldn't be able to get to this point today. Our big guy can help you say a word for you, too. You're going to let Sixteen help you snatch the child now, what do you think Sixteen is for? Aren't you harming Sixteen?"

Tian Mi'er said, becoming more and more serious.

A room full of people was silenced.

Although Tian Mi'er is from half of the Jianghu family, she has a gentle personality, reads freely and knows etiquette, and is a gentle lady. After she married into the Xia family, she has been following Xiao Heiyuer everywhere, as if she has never had her own opinions, everything is up to Xiao Heiyuer.

In front of the Xia family, she is even more filial to her in-laws, and she has never quarreled with her concubines. Aunt Xia and I have the impression of Tian Mi'er in May that they are taciturn, always with a smiling face. But such a gentle Tian Mi'er seems to be born with a kind of bearing, which makes people contemptible.

Aunt Xia and May never thought Tian Mi'er was powerful. They thought that they were afraid of the little black fish, so they didn't dare to provoke Tian Mi'er. And Tian Mi'er was generous, and she didn't live with them, so they couldn't provoke them.

In their eyes, Tian Mi'er is gentle and deceitful, has no ideas and no temper, and is attached to the existence of the little black fish.

But when Tian Mi'er said these righteous and stern words today, they all knew that they usually misjudged Tian Mi'er.

Tian Mi'er is the kind of person who usually doesn't open his mouth as the saying goes, but actually knows everything.

Aunt Xia and May opened their mouths firmly. Mrs. Xia was secretly happy in her heart.

Mrs. Xia was not dissatisfied with Tian Mi'er, her daughter-in-law. In fact, Mrs. Xia does not have high requirements for her little daughter-in-law.

Tian Mi'er is good to the little black fish, and she can also restrain the little black fish by one or two, which is quite perfect.

Here, Tian Mi'er broke the words, and someone came outside.

Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan, along with Guo Xi and his wife, all came. When Guo Xi saw Second Uncle Xia at home, his face changed a little. He grabbed Second Uncle Xia in front of people, and said with a smile: "Second brother, why did you tell the old man about his birthday." We're in-laws, I don't have a place where I can't live with you. Even if I can't stand you, Erzhu is your own son, and he is not buried alive like you!"

Second Uncle Xia couldn't break free, and his face was very ugly.

At this time, Mrs. Xia had already prepared dinner, so she gathered the big guy to eat and turned things over.

After dinner, everyone chatted in one place. The family is flesh and blood, and they often don't see each other much, and they have been separated for many years, so naturally there are too many things to say.

Xia Zhu accidentally got together with the little black fish. The little black fish raised his hand and touched the top of Xia Zhu's brain, and Xia Zhu shrank his neck in fright.

The little black fish smiled at Xia Zhu.

Xia Zhu was weak-hearted, and hurriedly bent down to explain to the little black fish about his late arrival. “…… Maybe the person who carried the letter said that it was bad, or maybe my father-in-law heard it. My dad didn't dare ...... My dad dares, I can't, I don't dare...... Uncle, don't hit me......"

"I'll send you this meal first, you~ a good day, and then I'll settle accounts with you. What use do you say, it's not that I'm afraid of you~ Ye feels uncomfortable, I'll clean you up early, save you in the world!"

Here, Guo Yuhuan is also explaining to Xia Zhi: "...... What can we do as juniors, Erzhu and I don't have any ideas. Or is my father and mother thinking that something is wrong......" and then said to the summer solstice.

Guo Yuhuan is still as good at things as he was when he was a child, and his mouth is sweet as if he has been smeared with honey. She talked to Xia Zhi, and then ran to Tian Mi'er to flatter.

Tian Mi'er lives in the city, and many times she has more hope than the summer solstice in the capital. In fact, Guo Yuhuan has benefited from Tian Mi'er over the years.

Tian Mi'er came from a wealthy family, and married a little black fish and was a capable and casual spender, Tian Mi'er has always been loose and does not take some silver money to heart.

That night, everyone rested, and the front and back yards of Xia's house were almost full.

The next morning, the summer solstice morning, got up. Although the weather in Beizhen Mansion is in the moon, the kang is hot, and there are charcoal basins on the ground, so I don't feel cold. After washing up on the summer solstice, he walked outside before everyone got up.

The morning light was faint, Xia Zhi breathed a breath of cold air, listened to the roosters and dogs in the distance, and stretched his body slightly~ body.

If you wear more, you won't feel cold. The sights, breaths and sounds in her childhood memories made her very comfortable, and she had a faint taste of happiness when she stood like this.

Li Xia walked over quietly and draped his fox fur on Xia Zhi's shoulders.

"Not cold?"

"It's not cold. ”

"Think of what happened when you were a kid?"

Xia Solstice snorted. In fact, she didn't think about anything specific at this time, just immersed in that feeling.

"I see. Xia Zhi said suddenly.

"What do you understand?" asked Li Xia.

Xia Zhi closed his eyes slightly. She is not the kind of child born in a blessed nest as the saying goes. Her childhood life can be said to be relatively difficult, but of course she slowly got better.

A lot of bad things, she has forgotten. There are very few bad things that can be clearly recalled, and in her memory, that is, one or two points, good things, are also a few things, and they are also a few points.

None of this matters, what matters is the whole tone of the memory.

The tone of her memories is happy and beautiful.

Xia Zhi thought that she should not be alone. That's how all people should be. Even if you have experienced a lot of darkness, as long as you work hard to break through this darkness, the sky of memory will be a beautiful color.

As a human being, we have the obligation to make our sky beautiful and not let anyone or anything pollute our sky.

Therefore, people should live in self-improvement.

Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement.

"Actually, my life is pretty good. Xia Zhi said to Li Xia.

Li Xia glanced down at Xia Zhi. The summer solstice is indeed a happy face. Li Xia smiled: "I just hope that the children are like you." …… Sixteenth, I don't really believe in fate. Lives are made by man himself. He hopes that his children can be like the summer solstice, self-confident and open-minded, work hard, and be a strong life.

Such a person, no matter what the starting point is, no matter what happens, is ultimately favored by God.

At this time, everyone had already gotten up, and Xia Qiao called Xia Zhi and Li Xia to go to the backyard to eat.

Today is the day of Old Man Xia's birthday.

The Xia family prepared a flowing water seat, and the people in the tun only went to the door, and the Xia family did not accept gifts. These flowing water feasts are placed outside, and a banquet is prepared in the house for relatives and close friends.

In June, the two of them, Tian Laibao's family, Aunt Xia's family and the two pearls all came, as well as Yue Hong's family, Tian Daidi's family, and then Tian Kuo, Tian Qi, Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian all came.

There was a lot of traffic in front of Xia's house, and there were many guests.

Old Man Xia smiled from ear to ear. In fact, compared to today's pomp, he was even less likely to have the scene where the front and back yards were full of people sleeping last night.

The house is full of children and grandchildren, sleeping on the kang, and it is almost impossible to live, which is the happiest thing for an old man like him. The sound of the little radish heads shouting and bickering was like fairy music in his ears.

Xia Zhi responded in front of Mrs. Tian for a long time, and then got together with Aunt Xia to talk.

"Don't you accompany your mother-in-law?" Aunt Xia is persuading Xia Zhi. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in the same place, and the days of the summer solstice have been comfortable all these years, and now that they have returned to Beizhen Mansion, the summer solstice serves more in front of Mrs. Tian, which not only looks good on the outside, but also makes Mrs. Tian feel comfortable.

Aunt Xia, this is for the sake of the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi smiled and told Aunt Xia not to worry. "My mother-in-law was holding her grandson, and she couldn't think of me. I'm in front of me and I'm not in front of me. ”

Mrs. Tian really loves her grandchildren, and because she has been away from one place for many years, she is even more precious.

Aunt Xia smiled: "The elderly are like this. "Aunt Xia has also been a grandmother for a long time. She also helps her son and daughter-in-law take care of the children, but the children are mainly taken by the eldest daughter-in-law.

Aunt Xia never handed over the power of the housekeeper, but just divided some of it. When encountering major events, the two immortal couples still have to listen to Aunt Xia.

Uncle Guo hasn't been in charge of things much over the years, but he still helps Changsheng cook inside and out. Uncle Guo's health is not very good, according to Aunt Xia, he was tired when he was young.

Although Uncle Guo had a grocery store handed down from his ancestors, he was very willing to do it when he was young, and in order to save some money, he did all the hard work such as carrying a large bag himself.

"I don't do much now. He won't live to your ~ master's age. Aunt Xia said.

Then came some parental shorts, until Pearl came along.

Pearl's son-in-law also saw the summer solstice just now. Aunt Xia chose thousands of pearls, and finally chose the youngest son of a rich man who opened a pawnshop. The two sons of the family agreed to live with the eldest son in the future, and the younger son could not share the single pass, and also occupied the shares of the pawnshop.

It stands to reason that Aunt Xia can pick better conditions for pearls. However, she knows the temperament of pearls best, so she chose this one. Aunt Xia knew that Pearl should not be able to handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Even if it is a young couple, they are not very harmonious. However, Aunt Xia really enveloped the pearl son-in-law, and the pearl son-in-law is also an honest person, although there are some stumbles, even if they have come over the years.

Because of the summer solstice, Tian Kuo also asked his subordinates to do business with his pearl son-in-law a few times, and he made some money.

The pearl son-in-law and the family are very satisfied, even if the pearl is a little insufficient, they don't care.

Pearl sat down and talked to Xia Zhi, and was sent by Aunt Xia to see her son-in-law.

"That's an honest kid who doesn't drink. "Aunt Xia is afraid that her uncle will be poured wine.

"Auntie, you hurt your son-in-law more than my elder brother. Xia Zhi smiled.

Aunt Xia sighed: "People's hearts change people's hearts." Pearl has a bad temper, and I don't think about it anymore, which makes the children feel cold. ”

Aunt Xia loves her uncle so much, even if there is something wrong with the pearl, her son-in-law can't care too much about Aunt Xia.

Which family can always be smooth, everyone has a stumble, and the more the relationship is maintained, the more stable the family will be.

After a lively day, Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian did not stay overnight at Xia's house. Old man Xia sent a message and asked Xia Zhi to accompany his father-in-law and mother-in-law back.

It's rare to return to Beizhen Mansion on the summer solstice, and I don't know what year or month it is when I come back. Therefore, Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian both stopped them, and they asked Xia Zhi and Li Xia to stay with Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia for a few days and do their filial piety.

Li Xia and Xia Zhi stayed, and the little milk baby followed Xia Zhi. But Xia Zhi's twin daughters were taken away by Mrs. Tian.

Without the twins who are now at the most naughty age, Xia Zhi was very happy at the beginning and felt very comfortable. But after one night, she was not so comfortable.

"The bond of life......" Xia Solstice sighed.

Li Xia just laughed.

Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia persuaded Xia Zhi to go back to the city.

“…… If you two can come back for me, I'll be satisfied. It stands to reason that you should go to your parents-in-law more often to fulfill your filial piety. You've got a lot of heart in me. ”

"I regret marrying Li Xia. Xia Zhi said.

If she doesn't marry Li Xia, but marries a local family, it doesn't mean that she will come back when she comes back, or if she comes back to live for a year and a half, it's not a big deal.

Xia Zhi did not shy away from Li Xia when he said this.

Li Xia coughed dryly next to him, looking at the summer solstice at a glance.

The summer solstice is as if Li Xia does not exist.

"Sixteen, you're all mothers, and you're talking about this child. Where did you find Li Xia like this? ”

There is no perfection in the world, and if you choose this, you will lose that.

The family said that they wanted to separate, and it was inevitable that it would be hot ~ spicy ~ spicy.

When parting, Mrs. Xia, Aunt Xia, Sun Lan'er and others, and even the Tian family saw Xia Zhi's worries.

"It's hard to say. Your parents-in-law are also elderly. Over the years, they don't have any granddaughters and granddaughters. Everyone knows that your mother-in-law hurts Li Xia the most......" Mrs. Xia comforted Xia Zhi, "Your mother-in-law has treated you leniently over the years......"

"Milk, I'd rather she be mean to me. Let me leave the child to her, this is absolutely not okay. That's all in my heart. Xia Zhi said clearly.

In other things, the summer solstice can give in, but this one cannot.

Mrs. Xia sighed, although Xia Zhi is reasonable and rational, she has always been a strong person in her heart. And that pair of children have never left the summer solstice since they were born, how can they give up the summer solstice.

It's just as reluctant to be another person.

Everyone said it was difficult.

"I'll leave this matter to Li Xia. If he can't do it......" Xia Zhi's eyes darkened.

On the way back to Fucheng, Xia Zhi and Li Xia discussed this matter in the carriage. Back in Fucheng Li's house, even if they don't have to face this problem immediately, it shouldn't take long, they have to come up with a countermeasure now.

Li Xia also felt that this matter was tricky. In fact, in the two days when they returned to Beizhen Mansion and lived at home, Mrs. Tian faintly revealed such thoughts to him.

The little milk baby is too small, and she still needs to be taken with her during the summer solstice. But the twins were older, and she happened to take care of them. Li Xia was busy with official affairs, but Li Shanchang was able to spare a lot of time to teach his grandson to read.

That's a great thing.

In the face of the summer solstice, Li Xia couldn't think of any good way for a while. She supports the summer solstice, but at the same time, she can't bear to make Mrs. Tian sad.

However, after talking to Xia Zhi for a while, Li Xia resolutely stated that he would definitely stand on Xia Zhi's side for a hundred years without wavering.

"You can't even think of an idea, right? "Xia Zhi was in a slightly better mood when he was coaxed by Li Xia.

"Sixteen, let's think slowly, there's still time anyway. Li Xia said.

If Xia Zhi and Li Xia insist on taking away the twins, Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian can't be too forced, but there will be a tough battle at that time, and both will lose.

Summer Solstice wants to find a better solution.

"You can't abandon the official and not do it, so we still have to go back to the capital. "I can't say when I will be sent out to other places to be an official in the future.

Therefore, the only ones who can move are Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian.

"The mountain chief has devoted himself to the academy all these years, and his wife has been taking care of housework all year round, so we might as well invite the second elder to live in the capital for a year or two. First, we can do some filial piety, and second, the second elder can also come out to relax. Xia Zhi said to Li Xia.

In this way, even if Mrs. Tian wants to take care of the twins, Xia Solstice can avoid the separation of mother and son for thousands of miles.

Saying this, Xia Zhi's thinking is clearer.

"The eldest brother and sister-in-law are also in the capital, the mountain chief and his wife went, and the two sons are by their side, just when everyone is reunited. ”

Li Xia nodded: "This is a good idea." I actually thought about that. ”

Xia Zhi's eyes brightened even more: "I still have one more idea." I'm afraid that the mountain chief won't be able to lose the academy, but this is easy to solve. Now that he has left Shanchang, there are still many people in his family, and it is not a problem to support the academy. If the mountain chief can't be idle in the capital, let's run a academy for his old man in the capital......"

can call out Li Xia, a great talent with three yuan and the first, as well as so many talented students and children, Li Shanchang himself is a glittering photo.

Running another academy in the capital, and at the same time, it can further improve the reputation of Beizhen Mansion's own academy, Xia Zhi felt that she and Li Xia were completely able to convince Li Shanchang.

If Li Shanchang is willing to go to the capital, he will not worry about Mrs. Tian not going.

Almost at the same time, the Li family in Fucheng, Mrs. Tian and Li Shanchang were also discussing the same thing.

Mrs. Tian had just played with the twins for a long time, and asked people to take the twins to change their clothes, Li Shanchang came from outside, stared at Mrs. Tian, and sighed softly. 、

"What are you worried about?" asked Mrs. Tian while sorting out the twins' things at hand.

"I'm worried about you. Li Shanchang sat down and said.

"What do I have to worry about. "Mrs. Tian can be said to be quite happy in the past two days, and the twins are her pistachios. "Our Taki'er mouth is really sweet, much more coaxing than Phoenix'er when she was a child. "The granddaughter is even more beautiful and well-behaved.

Mrs. Tian's eyes were full of twins for the past two days, and he asked Li Shanchang: "Aren't you rare grandchildren?"

Li Shanchang is of course rare. "You want to leave both of them behind, I don't think it's easy. ”

It's hard.

Mrs. Tian is also very worried, she imagined a lot of scenes, she knew that Xia Zhi would not be willing, she really had to find out, there would inevitably be a conflict between her and Xia Zhi.

"At that time, it was Li Xia who was embarrassed. It's easy for the family to get along. Sixteen, this daughter-in-law is difficult to find in the world. I don't want to cause another uproar because of this incident~ waves. Li Shanchang said, "Besides, the children have always been by their parents' side, and they will definitely be reluctant to separate." You can't bear to see your grandchildren uncomfortable?!"

Mrs. Tian may still be able to look at Li Xia uncomfortably now, anyway, Li Xia has rough skin and thick meat. But she couldn't bear to watch her grandchildren feel uncomfortable.

If the twins cried, Mrs. Tian's heart twitched.

There is another thing, where is the summer solstice good to get along. Moreover, Xia Zhi's daughter-in-law has nothing to find fault with. Li Xia has been able to go so smoothly in the capital over the years, and the summer solstice has contributed a lot.

Mrs. Tian gritted her teeth: "If it doesn't work, I'll go to the capital with me, anyway, I have to stay with my grandchildren." Stay at home by yourself......"

When she didn't see her grandson, she was fine, but when she saw her, the little ones grabbed her heart. If you want to separate again, it will be like cutting her flesh.

"Madam, you want to leave me!" Li Shanchang stretched out his hand.

Of course, Mrs. Tian was not at ease about leaving Li Shanchang, so she was in a dilemma.

The old couple sighed, thinking in their hearts. But when the twins came in, the smiles of the old couple immediately crawled all over their faces again.

Xia Zhi, who was still on the way back to Fucheng, didn't know that most of her problem had been solved. She and Li Xia thought about the countermeasures, and then talked about other things.

"Let's find a day and take the three children to accompany you to the academy for a good walk. Xia Zhi said to Li Xia.

Li Xia must have had many good memories when he was a child, and the academy was still the pride of the Li family.

Li Xia immediately nodded and said yes. The two discussed what to do in Beizhen Mansion these days and where to play.

As long as life goes on, there will be a lot of problems, so it's good to face them bravely and optimistically.

"If the mountain chief and his wife don't think we're childish, let's invite the second elder to join us. Xia Zhi said, "In the future, if you become an official abroad, we will move to a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and we will also take the second elder over." It's good that the whole family is lively. ”

Xia Zhi looked at Li Xia with a smile, and Li Xia also smiled.
