Xia Zhi finally chose the silver lock plate under the staff of Li Xia and Xiao Heiyuer. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info she planned to go back and weave a rope by herself, so she hung the lock plate close to her chest. It was the safest thing she could think of.

The deed can be placed in Li Xia's place, but carrying your own property close to you will give Xia Zhi more sense of security and achievement. And, when you use it, it's easier to access.

In addition to the deed, Xia Zhi also planned to hide a small denomination silver ticket in the lock piece, as Li Xia said, in case of emergency.

The young man is very good at business. When he saw that Xia Solstice had chosen a cleat, he said that there was a matching silver collar in the store. If you want to wear a collar, it's a bit conspicuous. Xia Zhi didn't plan to buy a collar himself, but he immediately thought of the little black fish. The little black fish has a longevity lock, which can be equipped with a silver collar.

Xia Zhi asked the little guy to get the silver collar out, she took the silver collar and tried it on for the little black fish, and finally chose one.

"Sixteen, buy me again." The little black fish asked Xia Zhi'er, "Let's not buy this." Sixteen, you don't even have a bracelet. ”

Xia Zhi actually wanted to buy one or two pieces of jewelry, but he was worried about Tian's in his heart. However, when the little black fish said this, she was also moved, and finally picked a thin silver bracelet, which weighed less than two dollars, and there were no unique patterns, but the silver was in good condition, and it looked very delicate and beautiful on the wrist.

Li Xia was quietly about to pay next to him, but he was seen by Xia Zhi at a glance. Xia Zhi glared at Li Xia.

"Sixteen, I accepted the gift you and my uncle gave me without saying anything." Li Xia's meaning, the courtesy is still exchanged, he sent Xia Solstice one or two things, and Xia Solstice should not refuse.

"I took your words." Xia Zhi said to Li Xia, "I have picked these things and plan to buy them myself." If you want to pay, you will rob me of the pleasure of buying things. ”

When she said this, Li Xia showed an exaggerated look of horror, but obediently took the money back. Xia Zhi happily paid the money, a lock piece, a thin silver bracelet and a silver collar, which added up to only three taels of silver.

The three of them came out of the silver building and took the car back to Xishi Street. Xia Zhi didn't lie, she preferred to make a lot of money by herself than to accept gifts from others, and then let go of buying, buying, buying. Buy it for yourself, and buy it for the people you care about.

Back on Xishi Street, Aunt Xia took them into the house to talk. Because Li Xia came with her, Aunt Xia was very polite, and it was Zhang Luo's tea and Zhang Luo's dim sum.

Li Xia asked Aunt Xia not to Zhang Luo, and said that if Aunt Xia always treated him as an outsider like this, he would not dare to come to the door next time. When Aunt Xia heard him say this, she was naturally polite again, and the tea and snacks were still open, but she was much more familiar with her attitude, and she didn't say extra kind words to Li Xia.

Xia Zhi let Aunt Xia see a few things she bought, and Aunt Xia repeatedly praised that they looked good. Seeing the silver collar that Xia Zhi bought for the little black fish, Aunt Xia was even more emotional, feeling that Xia Zhi was too painful.

After talking to Aunt Xia, Xia Zhi led Li Xia to the back. The small workshop has not yet been completed, and Xia Zhi wants to take Li Xia to take a look. Although Li Xia has helped her a lot in the champion dumplings, she has not seen his small workshop with her own eyes.

Li Xia was really interested, and followed Xia Zhi to turn around the small workshop, and felt that Xia Zhi was very capable. The little girl is only twelve years old, and she can handle such a big thing, and she can also take care of the small workshop in an orderly manner.

After seeing the small workshop, Xia Zhi invited Li Xia to sit in the house, and everyone talked while drinking sour plum soup.

"Sixteen, if you want to talk about your ability to do things, I'm afraid that you are not as good as you." Li Xia said suddenly.

"Why do you suddenly say such a thing?" Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia, and then smiled, "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, if you want to study, I am not as good as you." ”

Li Xia laughed, but didn't say anything. He didn't actually want to praise Xia Zhi's ability, but he felt a little sorry for Xia Zhi. A twelve-year-old girl, if it weren't for her family situation, who would be so tired of having such a heart. Thinking like this in his heart, Li Xia didn't dare to say it, because he knew that Xia Zhi didn't like to hear such words.

The three of them were talking and laughing in the backyard, and then took Daqing to play for a while, and soon it was evening. Aunt Xia sent Changsheng over and invited them to the front for dinner.

"Uncle said he wanted to invite me to barbecue." Li Xia said.

"Yes." The little black fish immediately nodded in response, and at this time, there were already many stalls in the night market. In addition to barbecue, there are many other delicious snacks at the night market.

Before Xia Zhi came to the backyard, he had already told Aunt Xia that they would not eat at home at night. But Aunt Xia has to come and ask for it because of her feelings.

Xia Zhi told Changsheng, and then went to the front with Li Xia and Xiao Heiyuer to see Aunt Xia, and explained to Aunt Xia again. Li Xia Gongzi is actually still a child, Aunt Xia thought so in her heart, so she had to nod and agree.

Saying goodbye to Aunt Xia and coming to Xishi Street, the little black fish first spread the joy. He led Xia Zhi and Li Xia in front, and when he saw something he thought was delicious, he would go over and buy two servings for them to taste.

"I'm spending all this meal, you are not allowed to rob me. Don't rob me of the pleasure of spending money. This last sentence is the summer solstice of learning, and now learning and selling.

Xia Zhi and Li Xia couldn't help laughing, and they both decided that they couldn't brush off the little black fish's kindness and interest.

The little black fish was in front, and Li Xia and Xia Zhi walked side by side. Li Xia also asked Xia Zhi in a low voice: "Sixteen, how much salary did you pay your uncle." Will it be enough to spend in a while? ”

"Enough to spend." Xia Zhi also said in a low voice, while telling Li Xia the amount of money in Xiao Heiyuer's hand.

"Well, I'll let go of the amount of food in that moment." Li Xia said matter-of-factly.

The night market on this day is not as lively as the Dragon Boat Festival, but as the night comes, there are more and more pedestrians on the street. Xia Zhi likes this kind of picture of fireworks in the world very much, the crowd is very noisy, but her heart is very quiet, quiet and happy.

Finally, I finally came to the barbecue stall. The stall owner already knows Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish. Xiao Heiyuer wanted to be the host, so he first asked Xia Zhi and Li Xia's opinions, and then he walked up to the stall owner by himself, this and that, ordered a lot of mutton skewers, grilled scallops, and a few strings of sheep eyes.

This little guy loves to eat roast lamb eyes.

After ordering the skewers, the little black fish ran to the tea stall next door, bought three bowls of herbal tea, and placed them in front of Xia Zhi and Li Xia. Then, he also asked Li Xia and Xia Zhi: "What else do you want?" "A proud host.

"Don't do anything, you can even eat and drink." Li Xia hurriedly said, and raised his sleeves to fan the little black fish, "Uncle, hurry up and sit down and rest for a while, you see that you are busy sweating." ”

"It's okay, hehe." The little black fish sat down with a smile, and then didn't forget to shout at the stall owner of the barbecue stall, asking the family to quickly roast the meat and send it over, with the posture of a regular customer. Even those leather children who grew up on this street did not have the momentum of the little black fish.

"Uncle will grow up in the future, but it's amazing." Li Xia looked at the little black fish with a smile, and then said.

"That's it!" The little black fish thought so, he was not modest and polite at all, but felt that Li Xia was very knowledgeable. Soon, the stall owner brought the grilled meat skewers and scallops one after another. Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish are really regular customers here.

The little black fish asked Li Xia: "Li Xia, you're welcome, just eat." After eating, let's ask for it again. After speaking, he handed a bunch of the fattest lamb skewers to Li Xia.

Li Xia took it with a smile and didn't eat it, and only after Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer also picked up a skewer of barbecue meat did he eat it.

"Li Xia, it's the first time you've eaten this on the street, right?" Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia, and saw some clues, she asked Li Xia in a low voice.

Li Xia laughed twice, did not hide it, and replied that Xia Zhi said yes. Of course, he had eaten barbecue, but this was indeed the first time he had eaten it at a street stall. As for the scallops, "It's the first time I've eaten grilled, and it's pretty delicious." ”

Xia Zhi smiled: "You can eat with confidence." I've been watching them for a long time. The lamb is fresh and they make it clean. Otherwise, even if my uncle likes to eat it, I can't let him eat it. ”

"You choose, no matter what it is, I'm relieved." Li Xia also smiled.

He hadn't known Xia Solstice for a long time, but he had already seen it. The summer solstice has always been tepid, and everything was arranged without a trace. She is very good at taking care of people, although she never makes a big deal about it herself.

Seeing that Li Xia was eating, Xia Zhi said to him: "Li Xia, do you want to change your seat." You see you're rushing down the street, what if someone passes by recognizes you? "Dongcheng Li's son, the son of the head of Wenshan Academy, the head of this year's county and government exams, sat on a stall on Xishi Street and ate kebabs with the peddlers' pawns!

"If you recognize it, you can recognize it, who said that I am not allowed to eat barbecue here." Li Xia looked indifferent, and he also knew that Xia Zhi was joking with him.

If he is like this, Xia Solstice will no longer tease him.

Li Xia followed the little black fish to try to eat a string of sheep eyes, and he thought it was very delicious, he was not polite to the little black fish, and asked the stall owner two more strings.

"It's delicious, Li Xia." The little black fish was smug, "There are a lot of delicious things, Li Xia shouldn't have eaten them yet." Li Xia, when will you come to my house, I will take you to eat delicious things, there is no one in the city. ”

The home that Xiao Heiyuer said is naturally his home in Daxingzhuang.

"Uncle, you're not coaxing me, are you? What's delicious? Li Xia deliberately asked the little black fish.

"Have you ever eaten grilled snake meat? Roasted grasshoppers, you must have never eaten them. Li Xia, let me tell you, it's delicious. There is also roast field chicken, and the thigh meat is particularly delicious. The roasted house finches are particularly fragrant. The little black fish said several delicacies in the field in a row, and sure enough, Li Xia had never eaten them. Some of them he was quite eager to listen to, and some of them felt a little panicked when they heard it.

"Sixteen, have you eaten all of these?" Li Xia asked Xia Zhi very slyly.

Xia Zhi smiled, and she told Li Xia: "I have eaten some of them, and I have not eaten some of them." Otherwise, you can go home with us and let Uncle catch it for you and taste it." ”

"Then sixteen, you will eat with you." Li Xia is not willing to suffer.

Xia Zhi smiled and said nothing.

"Li Xia, come, I'll take you to eat all the delicious food." The little black fish said imposingly.

"Li Xia still has an exam in June." Xia Zhi said.

"When I'm done with the exam, tell my dad about it. I'd love to go to the countryside, too. Li Xia said.

"Li Xia, then you must come." The little black fish said to Li Xia.

The three of them ate and drank enough at the barbecue stall, and Xia Zhi went to the pharmacy to buy a pack of big hawthorn pills and gave them to Li Xia and the little black fish. Then the three of them walked slowly down the street, shopping and eating.

It was a little late, and although Li Xia was reluctant, he still offered to go home. He sent Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to the door, and watched the two children enter the yard before he got into the carriage and left.

It wasn't too late, and Aunt Xia's family hadn't slept yet, so they were all sitting in the east room talking.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Xia Zhi sensitively sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he asked Aunt Xia.

"Nothing's wrong." A complicated look flashed on Aunt Xia's face, and then she told Xia Zhi what happened. Guo Yuhuan and Xia Zhu are about to get married.

"Huh?" Xia Solstice was taken aback, this is something I never expected. Although no one said anything, although she had only been in Fucheng for a long time, she could also see that the Guo family had high expectations for Guo Yuhuan.

How could Guo Xi and Guo Qian be willing to let Guo Yuhuan marry Xia Zhu. However, this doubtful thought only flashed in Xia Zhi's mind, and she was quickly relieved.

The current Second Uncle Xia is naturally not the Second Uncle Xia in the countryside. Second Uncle Xia helped Guo Xi in the matter of the wine shop, and Guo Xi was optimistic about the development of Second Uncle Xia's family.

If Second Uncle Xia's boast at the banquet that day can become a reality, this family affair is still high for Guo Xi's family.

But Guo Yuhuan and Xia Zhu ......, Xia Zhi still can't imagine.

"I didn't expect that either." Aunt Xia seemed to have guessed Xia Zhi's thoughts, and she also said so.

Xia Zhi came back to her senses at this time, and she asked Aunt Xia: "It's already settled, why is it so fast?" ”

"The two have already negotiated, but they don't know when to make a decision, and it is estimated that it will be quite fast." As for why it was so fast, Aunt Xia knew some inside information, but it was inconvenient to tell Xia Zhi on such an occasion.

Aunt Xia glanced at Uncle Guo intentionally or unintentionally.

"That is, make up your mind first, it's too early to get married." Uncle Guo opened his mouth and said, "Yuhuan and Erzhu are still young. The two families have seen each other, they are relatives, and they know the roots, so it's good to settle down early, which is a matter of heart. ”

Uncle Guo seems to be much more enthusiastic about this matter than Aunt Xia. He also thought of his own son and daughter. "The matter of Yuhuan is decided. Changsheng is not young anymore, and the second pillar of the family was only eleven years old and set a daughter-in-law. Pearls are smaller than Yuhuan, and the girl's family should pick them earlier, otherwise the good ones will let others go. ”

Uncle Guo saw that Guo Yuhuan and Xia Zhu were going to get married, his eyes were hot, so he discussed with Aunt Xia, and he also had to hurry up to find a daughter-in-law for Changsheng and a mother-in-law for Pearl.
