Chapter 168: Troubles
"There are only a few months left before the end of the year, where can I find a good mother-in-law for your eldest sister." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Tian chatted with Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi didn't speak, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the eldest girl and the second sister standing not far away. The two sisters were watching her talk to Tian, as if they wanted to come over, but they didn't dare to come over. The two sisters hesitated, and slowly approached, almost step by step.
Tian chatted with Xia Zhi for a while, and also discovered the eldest girl and the second girl. For the two maiden nieces, Tian's attitude is not bad. She beckoned to the two girls: "What are you two doing, come here." ā
The eldest girl and the second girl hurriedly walked over. "Aunt. The two of them shouted Tian together, with flattering smiles on their faces. Then both looked at the summer solstice again.
"Summer Solstice, do you want to go out and play, we'll take you there. The eldest girl smiled and said to Xia Zhi.
Erya also chimed in, saying that she would take the summer solstice everywhere.
When she first arrived at Tian's house, although the two little girls always looked at her secretly, they didn't take the initiative to talk to her. Now they are so close and flattering, I am afraid that it is also from the instructions of the adults in the family. In the future, they will go to Xia Zhi's house to live, and they want to get closer to Xia Zhi in advance.
In addition, they should also be very willing to approach the summer solstice. After all, Xia Zhi has been to Fucheng and seen the world, whether it is talking or dressing and style, the two sisters are envious.
Xia Zhi didn't hate the two little girls, but she wasn't in the mood to play with them.
"I just went out for a walk. Sister Eldest and Sister Erya, you two should go by yourself. "The summer solstice said.
Tian hurriedly said: "You don't have anything to do, just play with your two cousins and talk." Tian's meaning is that he is also very willing to let Xia Zhi get close to the eldest girl and the second girl.
Xia Zhi had to agree to come down, but he only walked outside the gate with the eldest girl and the second girl, and the three little girls sat under the tree outside the gate to enjoy the shade. The eldest girl and the second girl both rushed to talk to Xia Zhi, but their topics were very poor. They either asked Xia Zhi how much silver he was wearing, or they asked Xia Zhi about his presence in Fucheng.
Fortunately, Xiao Shu'er is a clever child, he walked away for a while, and soon came back to find the summer solstice. Xia Zhi made an excuse at random and left with Xiaoshu'er.
The eldest girl and the second girl saw that Xia Zhi was gone, and the two glanced at each other, both of them were a little disappointed. They couldn't get enough of Xia Solstice at all. The Fucheng mentioned by Xia Zhi, and the lives of the people in the Fucheng, for them, are simply things from another world.
For them, the summer solstice is also a person from another world.
"The summer solstice is not the same as before. The big girl whispered.
"She's not the same as she used to be. Erya also said.
The two little girls said the same thing, but they didn't mean the same thing. Erya's words are what they mean on the surface, what Xia Zhi is wearing this time, as well as what he talks and does~ things, and the style of his body, are completely different from before, as if he is a different person.
In the past, the summer solstice was the same as them. The current summer solstice is another person in the world that they can hardly touch.
And the meaning of the eldest girl is that Xia Zhi's attitude towards her is different from the past. As cousins, although they don't see each other often, Xia Zhi and her relationship were still very good in the past. Every time Xia Zhi comes, he will take the initiative to play with her and talk to her.
But although Xia Solstice didn't show impatience in front of them now, she could still feel that Xia Solstice was not willing to be close to them.
It's because the summer solstice is out, so you look down on them?
The big girl lowered her head. No matter what, she and Erya have to have a good relationship with Xia Zhi, this is what the Jiang family taught them, and it is also their own wishes.
ā¦ā¦
Xia Zhi and Xiao Shu'er found Xia Qiao, and Xia Qiao was kindly taking Tian Dabao to play. "Big brother. Xia Solstice stopped in the distance and shouted Xia Qiao.
When Xia Qiao saw Xia Zhi, he left Tian Dabao and walked over. Tian Dabao also followed, and before Xia Zhi could speak, Xiao Shu'er glared at Tian Dabao until he scared Tian Dabao away.
"Xiao Shu'er, what are you bullying him for!" Xia Qiao said to Xiao Shu'er.
"I didn't bully him. I just don't want him to be so close to my sister. Xiao Shu'er said, and then glanced at the summer solstice proudly.
Xia Zhi snorted a handful of little tree's hairy head, and said in his heart that this kid will also be a character when he grows up, if he is not so foodie.
"Brother, I have something to tell you. Xia Zhi led Daqiao and Xiaoshu'er to a secluded place, and told the two brothers what Fang Caitian had told her.
"I said, aunt, why always ask you what kind of matchmaker and what kind of matchmaker!" Xiao Shu'er looked a little suddenly enlightened.
Xia Qiao is a little older, and he wants to be more mature. He frowned slightly: "If you want to find a rich family for the eldest girl, you have to find it before the end of the year, how easy is it." This family pays attention to the right family!" Xia Qiao began to make trouble for the Tian family.
"That's what Daddy has to worry about. "Xia Zhi is very relaxed, so she won't worry about Xia Xiucai and Tian. "But in the future, the two of them should be raised by our family. And in the future, the two of them will be married, it is estimated that they only need to receive the bride price here, and if they want a dowry, they must be prepared by our family. ā
I have to say that Xia Zhi saw the Tian family very thoroughly.
"It's a matter of more pairs of chopsticks. Xia Qiao said that Xia Qiao did not have any resistance to the two cousins wanting to eat and live in their own homes. In many ways, Xia Qiao is very similar to Xia Xiucai. They are all good people who are kind and don't care. "However, our grandmother's family must be desperate for a bride price, who wants it. ā
This problem is still something that Xia Xiucai and Tian need to worry about.
Xiao Shu'er is not as fraternistic and selfless as Xia Qiao. He said he was worried, but the content of his worries was different from that of Xia Qiao.
"Two more people to eat, I don't know how our mother arranged it. Xiao Shu'er touched her chin. He and his eldest brother Xia Qiao should not be affected, but the summer solstice may not be affected. "I don't know if my sister will suffer. ā
Xia Zhi didn't expect this to happen. She just looked at Xia Qiao.
"With the two of us here, we can still make Sixteen hungry. Xia Qiao glanced at his sister affectionately, but thought in his heart that his sister was no longer the obedient little sixteen in the past, even if their mother wanted to treat her harshly, she would not suffer in vain.
"That's it. Xiao Shu'er nodded, "No matter who she is, if she comes to our house to make my sister angry, it will definitely not work." ā
"You're sixteen's henchman now!" Xia Qiao said with a smile.
Xiao Shu'er smiled, not only did not get angry, but felt very happy and honored. He also thought of another question: "If our family wants to prepare a dowry for them, it must be a lot of money." ā
"When the time comes, I'll be able to save it up. It's better than having to take out two hundred taels of silver now. Xia Qiao said. The dowry of the eldest girl and the second girl is definitely less than a hundred taels of silver, and it is estimated that a few taels of silver is about the same.
Xia Zhi nodded slightly, Xia Qiao was right.
The three siblings talked for a while, and only when they saw that it was getting late and the smoke was rising, they returned to the upper room. In the outhouse, no one burned the fire at all. The Tian family had no intention of cooking dinner at all.
I didn't eat enough at noon on the summer solstice, and I felt a little hungry at this time.
Seeing Xia Zhi glance at the stove twice, Xiao Shu'er guessed her thoughts. "Sister, have you forgotten? Our grandmother's family eats two meals a day. ā
The Tian family eats two meals a day, one breakfast, one dinner, and lunch is generally not eaten except when the farm is busy. Now that they have come, and everyone has eaten lunch, this supper will not be prepared.
The Tian family has always treated their uncle's family like this, and when they saw that dinner was moved to noon and they ate meat, it was a high-standard hospitality.
Xia Zhi was a little speechless, and saw Tian Wang's family coming out of the house and starting to make a hot meal. Yes, not cooking, but hot rice. Tian Wang's hot rice is not much, only for two people.
It was a hot meal for Tian Dabao and Uncle Tian.
The Tian family all ate two meals, but Old Man Tian, Uncle Tian and Tian Dabao were exceptions. Uncle Tian and Tian Dabao eat three meals a day, and when Old Man Tian is older, the amount of food becomes smaller, sometimes he eats two meals, sometimes he eats three meals.
Today, my uncle's family is here, and Old Man Tian doesn't plan to eat the third meal, but only asks Tian Wang's family to heat the meals for his son and grandson.
"Mommy, I'm hungry too. Xia Zhi told Tian Wang's that she didn't really care about whether she ate this meal or not, she just deliberately wanted to see how Tian Wang's reaction would be. "My brother and my brother, we're both hungry. At home, we all eat three meals. ā
"Haven't you eaten enough at noon?" Tian Wang glanced at Xia Zhi coldly, she only said this sentence, and nothing else.
When Xia Zhi walked away a little, Tian Wang's family put down the work in his hand and swept up to Tian's side like a gust of wind.
"Look at what you do with your children. I think the summer solstice is going to heaven. Tian Wang's crackling, he added fuel to the matter of Xia Zhi and her asking for dinner, and she also mentioned the matter of going to the table of the old man in Tian Tian at noon. "There are no rules at all!" asked me in person. You asked me to answer her. She really has that face, too. Girl, I still want to eat three meals! Their Lao Xia family has that unjust money, but our Lao Tian family doesn't have ......."
Tian Wang's heart has been holding his breath with Xia Zhi today, this anger has been around for a long time, and it goes without saying that he is specifically willing, and now he has finally found an opportunity to spread it.
Tian hurriedly persuaded Tian Wang not to be angry, and she went to say the summer solstice. "I can't spare her. ā
"I see that you can't say that you can't move her, I'm afraid you are reluctant to say it. It turns out that the girl is okay, but you are used to it. Tian Wang went back angrily to continue the hot meal.
Tian found Xia Zhi, Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er were there, and the three children looked at her together. When Tian Shi came to his lips, he couldn't say some of the mean words.
