Chapter 191: Help

After laughing and laughing like this for a while, Xia Zhi thought of another thing. www.biquge.info She discussed with Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, and said that she wanted to give some plums to Mrs. Wu. This is what Xia Solstice thought about when he was selling plums.

Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia naturally nodded, agreeing with Xia Zhi's approach. Mrs. Wu gets along well with them, and usually gives each other some rare things in their respective homes.

Moreover, Mrs. Wu is also Xia Xiucai's aunt. If it weren't for the collapse of the Hetian family, he would definitely have been intimate with the Xia Zhi family over the years. Even if there is no intimate contact, Mrs. Wu is still very concerned about the summer solstice, and she is also very protective of the summer solstice outside.

Xia Zhi took another small basket and filled half a basket of plums. The little black fish and the little tree didn't take a nap, and followed the summer solstice to Mrs. Wu's house.

The Xia family is not far from the Wu family, only a few families are separated, and then across a street. Mrs. Wu's house, like the backyard of the Xia family, is also a tall gatehouse, with a large vermilion lacquer wooden door on the opposite side. It is the habit of the villagers, except for resting at night, that the courtyard door is always open. Some families simply don't have a courtyard gate. When the neighbors come to visit the door, they don't have to knock at all, they go directly into the yard.

Xia Zhi took Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Shu'er to the courtyard of the Wu family, and the people of the Wu family saw them in the upper room. Old Lady Wu took it out herself.

"Auntie," Xia Zhi called out with a smile, "The plums I just bought from the market are quite delicious, and I sent them over to your old man to taste." ”

"Oops......" Mrs. Wu smiled. It's not that she can't see things with shallow eyes, what makes her happy is the intention of Xia Solstice to send things. "Hurry up into the house. This great sun in the field. Your dad is gone? ”

Among the people who came out to see Xia Xiucai this morning, there was also Mrs. Wu.

"Well, we watched my dad get in the car and go. Auntie, don't worry, my father must be fine, I guess I will be able to get to Fucheng before this evening. Xia Solstice said.

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Wu happily brought the three children into the landlord's house, and she let the children sit on the kang, then beckoned her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to come over, and brought a plate of fried peanuts and a plate of fried melon seeds to the three children.

Mrs. Wu's house is also a five-room large tile house, east and west wings, which is no different from the layout of the Xia family's backyard. Mrs. Wu's husband has long since died. She gave birth to two sons, and now she lives with the younger son, and the eldest son lives next door, which is also the same five large tiled houses, with a large courtyard in front and back.

Mrs. Wu said a few polite words to Xia Zhi, and then accepted Fu Lizi. Wu's second daughter-in-law immediately washed a plate and brought it up. Mrs. Wu tasted one herself, said it was delicious, and then let her grandchildren eat it.

The plum is considered fresh in this season, and it was also sent by the younger generation of her relatives. Mrs. Wu herself was happy, and she felt that she had a lot of face in front of her children and grandchildren.

Everyone chatted while eating peanuts and melon seeds, and naturally talked about the Tian family, and then mentioned the eldest girl and the second girl.

Wu's second daughter-in-law was also very interested in this topic, and she also asked a question or two from time to time. The summer solstice has said everything that can be said. She told Mrs. Wu and the second daughter-in-law of Wu very clearly that the Tian family brought the eldest girl and the second girl back to find the sisters-in-law's house according to Old Man Tian's instructions.

Old man Tian's expectations for the bride price, Xia Zhi not only did not hide it, but also said it very thoroughly.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu's second daughter-in-law were a little embarrassed.

"I'm looking for another uncle like your father. The money your father has earned over the years has not been spent by himself, nor has he given it to the surname Xia, but it has been filled in to the surname Tian. Old Lady Wu said with a sigh.

The main reason why she fell out with the Tian family was that she couldn't get used to seeing the Tian family's subsidy to her mother's family. In the matter of his daughter-in-law, Old Man Xia is not good at taking care of everything, and he is not good at telling Tian some things. It's just that Mrs. Xia is not Xia Xiucai's mother-in-law, so she has to have a lot of scruples. Mrs. Wu is a warm-hearted person, thinking that Xia Xiu is her own nephew, who will talk if she doesn't talk about this kind of thing.

As a result, it is natural not to speculate with Tian's words. Tian didn't put her aunt in his eyes, and the two of them collapsed, and the angry old lady Wu never went to Xia Zhi's house again, and like Old Man Xia, she also said that she would not care about Xia Xiucai's family in the future.

Seeing that Mrs. Wu understood the meaning of the Tian family so quickly, and naturally thought of Xia Xiucai's body, Xia Zhi was very satisfied. Then, she also told Mrs. Wu about the marriage between the eldest girl and the second girl between the Sun Wang family and the Tian family.

"She's not a serious person!" Before Mrs. Wu could speak, the second daughter-in-law of Wu said first, and it seemed that she did not look down on the character of Sun Wang's family.

For such an unscrupulous person to take care of this will definitely make things worse.

"When Xiao Shu'er heard one or two sentences, she didn't know what they meant, so she heard that she was going to do something small." Xia Solstice said again.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu's second daughter-in-law both opened their mouths wide, and the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also like Old Man Xia and Old Mrs. Xia, as soon as they heard the two words, they understood what the Sun Wang family and Tian's idea were.

"Evil!" Mrs. Wu patted the edge of the kang and said.

"No one else can do this, but Sun Lao's fifth daughter-in-law really did it. I see that she runs around all day long, and she kind of wants to be a mother-in-law to make money. Wu's second daughter-in-law said with a frown.

Ordinary matchmakers naturally make money, but obviously they will not be more oily than giving Zhang Luo concubines.

"They want to pick out more money from the two girls, where can ordinary people afford it. No wonder they thought of this. Mrs. Wu said, "This matter is shameless for the people of their Lao Tian family." But you~ Mother cares about this matter, and she won't be clean at that time. ”

The most important thing is not Tian's reputation, but Xia Xiucai's.

"It's going to have to affect your father's reputation!" There was no need to remind Xia Solstice at all, Mrs. Wu thought of this matter herself. After all, Xia Xiucai is the son of her own sister-in-law. And everyone lives so close, Mrs. Wu can be said to have grown up watching Xia Xiucai.

Before Mrs. Wu had a falling out with the Tian family, their aunts and nephews got along very well. Xia Xiucai is handsome, has a gentle temper, and is also very good at talking, Mrs. Wu really feels sorry for Xia Xiucai.

Seeing that Mrs. Wu said this sentence herself, Xia Zhi spread her hands. "My mother listened to my grandmother's words, she had to do this, this is nine cows can't pull it back."

"I know, you~ mother is like that, taking her father's words as if they were holy decrees. She should stay in Lao Tian's house all the time, why should she get married? My poor nephew, hey. Old Lady Wu sighed, and at the same time, her resentment towards the Tian family reappeared.

Xia Zhi didn't speak, just looked at Old Lady Wu.

"She can't let her do it." Mrs. Wu thought about it and made a decision. "Lao Tian's humanity, we should also promote it to him. Even the rich family can't hold such a bottomless pit. Knowing what is going on with Lao Tian's family, even if someone falls in love with those two girls, it is estimated that they will not be able to hire them. ”

In the past, the big guys were secretive about the affairs of the Tian family, mainly taking care of Xia Xiucai's face. But now that this incident has happened again, I can't care so much about it.

Moreover, after all these years, Xia Xiucai has done enough for the Tian family. Since Mrs. Wu is going to come forward, she will naturally pay attention to getting rid of Xia Xiucai.

Wu's second daughter-in-law nodded beside her, and it seemed that she was also very willing to do this.

At the door of Mrs. Wu's house is the most prestigious and popular big willow forum in Daxingzhuang, and the two main and deputy moderators of Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu's second daughter-in-law spread and dominate public opinion, and there is almost no need to worry about anything on the summer solstice.

She came to see Mrs. Wu today, originally for this matter.

The matter was done so easily, Xia Zhi was naturally happy in his heart, and at the same time, he was also very grateful to Mrs. Wu. The old lady was a very warm-hearted person, and she had feelings for them.

After a conversation with Mrs. Wu, Xia Zhi took Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Shu'er out to say goodbye. Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu's second daughter-in-law sent their three children all the way to the gate, and kept saying that they would come to the door when they were free.

Back in the backyard of the Xia family, Xia Zhi roughly learned the words of Mrs. Fang Caiwu with Old Man Xia and Old Mrs. Xia. Both Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were very happy.

"Her aunt is a warm-hearted person." Mrs. Xia said.

"Hmm." Old Man Xia nodded, "With her in the background, this matter will be easy to do." ”

Putting down a matter in his heart, Xia Zhi discussed with Mrs. Xia, saying that he would boil oil, and then make dumplings together in the evening.

"Okay." Old Lady Xia nodded. "Let's wrap white noodles, there are still a few catties of white noodles at home, it should be enough."

Oil residue and meat are provided here on the summer solstice, and vegetables from the vegetable garden are also ready-made. Mrs. Xia provided white noodles, which was also a big head.

"Make dumplings, and call you too~ Mother." Old Man Xia said to Xia Zhi, "When you say it, you~ Niangai will not agree." ”

"Got it." Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, "I still want to invite my Sister Lanzi." ”

"Okay." Old Man Xia nodded in agreement.

There is a saying in this place of Beizhen Mansion, which is called comfortable is better than lying down, and delicious is not as good as dumplings. Zhuangjia will make dumplings during the New Year's holidays, and as for the dumplings filled with white flour and meat, it is quite a rare thing.

When I heard that I was going to eat white flour dumplings in the evening, several children almost cheered.

The little black fish and the little tree's belly were still bulging, and they didn't eat less at noon.

Xia Zhi silently took out two big hawthorn pills and gave one each to the little black fish and the little tree. This is an digestion medicine, but because the main medicine is hawthorn, and honey is added to make pills, so it tastes sweet. The little black fish eats this completely as a jelly bean.

When Mrs. Xia saw it next to her, she couldn't help laughing. "Sixteen brought back those medicines, but they are all good things!"

Old Lady Xia nodded again and again.

The last time Xia Shang came back from Fucheng, in addition to all kinds of food and rulers, she also bought a lot of commonly used pills and came back. This is an era of lack of medical treatment, ordinary people are not seriously ill, and they generally do not invite Lang Zhong, nor do they prescribe medicine. But that doesn't mean they don't have a demand for medicines.

On the contrary, drugs are extremely precious to them.

The medicines bought by Xia Zhi are all commonly used, and Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia cherish some of them. And the news that they had the pills they bought back from Fucheng somehow spread out, and some came to the door to ask for medicine.

Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia are both kind-hearted and loose people, and if they really need to come to the door, the old couple will not refuse. There are not many pills left now, but the popularity of the old couple in Daxingzhuang has increased by more than one step.

Even now that Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San are going out, those who are not familiar with each other also take the initiative to greet them. The Xia family spoke and did things in Daxingzhuang, and they were more comfortable.

"After all these years, your aunt hasn't thought about it. Or we are sixteen thoughtful. Mrs. Xia said with emotion.

What's more, Aunt Xia didn't remember it, even Xia Xiucai had been in Fucheng all these years, and she didn't think of buying some common medicines for the family. Don't look at Tian's mother's family so much, she has never brought these things to her home.

So in the final analysis, Xia Zhi is the most intimate and thoughtful child, that is, the most painful.

Although Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia didn't say anything, they usually raised Xia Zhi to a higher status than their sons when they talked and did things at home, although Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia had complaints in private, but they didn't dare to say anything on the surface. As for Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San, they are very convinced.

and then to the same generation as the summer solstice, no one said anything. Everyone thinks this is what the summer solstice deserves.

When it was time to boil the oil, Mrs. Xia asked Xia Zhi if she planned to go back to the front yard to boil or boil it in the backyard. If it's in the backyard, then you don't need to do it on the summer solstice, she promises to boil the oil for the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi thought about it and felt that there was no need to move back and forth, and the dumplings at night were also to be eaten in the backyard. "Then let's stay here. It's just going to trouble my milk. ”

"It's not troublesome." Mrs. Xia immediately washed her hands, put on an apron, and quickly began to cut the oil, "As long as I work for a day, I can work for you for a day, I'm happy." ”

You guys, not even including Uncle Xia and Mrs. Xia, just Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish.

Aunt Xia San didn't go out after a while, and when she heard the movement, she also came to the upper room to help.

"Then I'll go home first." The summer solstice said. With Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia, she really doesn't have to do it herself.

"Well, I'll talk to you~ Mother. Don't forget to bring your oil jar over, it will be ready to fill the oil in a while. Mrs. Xia instructed the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi said yes and went to the front yard.

Xia Qiao had already returned to the front yard. Xiao Shu'er didn't go, he followed Xia Solstice almost step by step, and at this time he cheered, and jumped up and down with Xiao Heiyuer in front of Xia Solstice, and accompanied Xia Solstice back to the front yard.

Xia Zhi rushed to the market to buy a lot of things, but he didn't enter the house, and he took them to the backyard. Moreover, several children eat lunch in the backyard, including Xia Qiao.

When Xia Zhi entered the door, Tian was angry.
