Ask for a commuter pass

***

Xia Xiucai was taken aback, he didn't expect Xia Zhi to put forward such a condition. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 According to his thoughts, the most that Xia Solstice would ask him for some food and clothing. After all, over the years, Xia Solstice has been the most neglected child in the family in terms of food and clothing. Or, the summer solstice will ask him when he has to pay back the money, or some interest will be added or something. When he watched Xia Zhi sell zongzi, he could see that Xia Zhi was very shrewd.

A twelve-year-old girl wants to marry independently, which Xia Xiu has never heard of.

He was not only surprised, but also a little disapproving, and showed it on his face. But Xia Solstice did not have the slightest shyness or weakness, and the little black fish next to him was also justified, as if Xia Solstice's request was justified.

Xia Xiucai thought about it, and then suddenly realized. Xia Zhi was frightened by Tian's intention to promise her to Tian Dabao, for fear that he would be the same as Tian. In this regard, he could only explain to Xia Zhi with a wry smile: "Sixteen, Dad is not that kind of person. ”

Xia Zhi was noncommittal to Xia Xiucai's words. She only needs Xia Xiucai's promise. "Dad, do you agree or not? It's not a condition, I just want you to help me with this. Dad, can you help me? ”

When she asked, Xia Xiucai thought she was right. Xia Zhi asked him to agree to this condition, because he was afraid of the Tian family, so that he must dissuade the Tian family in the future.

"Sixteen, don't worry, I won't marry you to anyone casually." Xia Xiucai's tone was very sincere, with some apology. Thinking about it, if such a summer solstice marries Tian Dabao, will he be willing to give it up and feel at ease.

"Okay." Xia Zhi nodded, and then said to Xia Xiucai, "Dad, it's not that I don't believe you. You repeat it according to what I just said, and it just so happens that my uncle is here to testify. ”

She said it very tactfully, but Xia Xiucai understood. The summer solstice is for him to swear. was asked by the little girl like this, Xia Xiucai felt that her dignity as a father seemed to have been greatly challenged. However, there was nothing provocative in Xia Zhi's attitude.

In the end, Xia Solstice was still frightened and became a frightened bird.

Xia Xiucai stood there and didn't speak, but the little black fish became impatient and urged again and again: "Big brother, you swear quickly." Otherwise, I'll take Sixteen with me. ”

"Okay, okay." Xia Xiucai had no choice but to agree, so he made an oath according to the requirements of Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer, guaranteeing that he and the Tian family would not make their own decisions on Xia Zhi's family affairs, and would definitely let Xia Zhi make his own decisions.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Even Xia Xiucai's oath is a guarantee. With this handle in her hands, even if Xia Xiucai regrets it in the future, or something else happens, she has the capital to maneuver and will not be too passive.

"There's one more little thing, and I want my dad to help me." Because Xia Xiucai swore an oath, Xia Zhi's attitude became more and more gentle and polite, and he no longer mentioned conditions, but changed to let Xia Xiucai help.

This really made Xia Xiucai's heart feel a lot more comfortable, and the expressions on his face were stretched and happy. Xia Xiucai asked Xia Zhi what he could help him with.

"Ten taels of silver is not so easy to earn." The summer solstice said. To earn these ten taels of silver, she needs to live in Fucheng for a few more days. After the Dragon Boat Festival, no one will buy zongzi anymore, and she will go home with Xia Xiu.

Wenshan Academy will be closed during the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xia Xiucai's original plan was to go back to Daxingzhuang in the next few days and bring the money he got to Tian's family, and then the two of them would go to Gushan Tun'er to visit Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian.

However, if the money is not enough, it is pointless for him to go back, and he will make Tian unhappy.

Xia Xiucai thought about it and agreed. "Okay. I'll go back a few days late, just thinking about the idea of getting some more money. ”

"Then Dad, you must give my mother a letter. Why are you going to tell my mother about the letter? Xia Zhi immediately asked.

Xia Xiucai paused for a moment, and Xia Zhi continued: "I made money by selling zongzi and lent you money, so my father should not tell my mother." ”

You can't hide it from Xia Xiucai, but you must hide it from Tian. Tian is more shrewd than Xia Xiucai, and he is even more unscrupulous about face. Xia Xiucai said that he was borrowing money from her, but if the Tian family knew about it, he would never say a borrowed word. Tian will only force her to take out all the money.

Therefore, in this matter, Xia Zhi asked Xia Xiucai to be his ally.

Little Heiyuer, don't look at his young age, he knows the power of this very well. He nodded again and again beside him, and said to Xia Xiucai with his eyes open, "You must not let Tian Laidi know." If she knew, Sixteen would be out of luck. Big brother, can you hide it from Tian Laidi. If you can't hide it, I won't lend you this money. ”

Xia Xiucai was treated by the little girl and the little brother with both soft and hard, so she could only agree. "I'm sure I won't tell Sixteen. Even if her mother hears something, I have to pay for Sixteen. He also knew that if the Tian family knew about the summer solstice, there would be endless troubles. In line with the principle that more things are better than less, he will also hide it for Xia Zhi.

Xia Xiu is a person who is very afraid of trouble. Xia Zhi knew this, so he believed him.

"As soon as I asked people to carry the letter, I said that in order to make money, I would leave a few more days in Fucheng to annotate the article. Sixteen, when are you done, when will we go back? Xia Xiucai said again.

Xia Zhi nodded, she didn't put forward any more conditions to Xia Xiucai, but comforted Xia Xiucai with a few words: "Dad, I'll go back with you when the time comes." You are embarrassed, my mother and my grandmother squeezed you two sentences, and you agreed to everything. When the time comes, I'll help you. ”

Xia Xiucai only took thirty taels of silver to go back, but there were many famines to fight with the Tian family. In Xia Zhi's view, Xia Xiucai and Tian are still different, helping Xia Xiucai is to help herself, Daqiao and Xiaoshuer.

The matter is decided, although Xia Xiucai's mood is a little complicated, but the most urgent problem is solved. He re-pushed the wheelbarrow and continued to walk down West Market Street with his two children.

The mood of the summer solstice is completely sunny. Although she had to take out ten taels of silver, she won Xia Xiucai's alliance. In the future, the marriage can be autonomous, which is the most reassuring and happy.

Then, Xia Xiucai promised not to make up the two hundred taels of silver for the Tian family, but only thirty taels, and these thirty taels were the last time. With this as a start, their brother and sister will slowly no longer have to fill the bottomless pit of the Tian family.

Xia Xiucai really couldn't get together the money, so she had to come to her, and at the same time, her psychology had undergone a huge change, and she finally stopped asking for the Tian family and the Tian family.

She really didn't look for Li Shanchang in vain. Li Xia helped a lot in this matter.

The little black fish is also very happy, and I can't wait to tell this to Old Man Xia immediately. Xia Xiucai doesn't have to go into debt anymore, and the happiest person is still Old Man Xia.

Because of happiness, the little black fish jumped up and down, and refused to walk well. He also discussed with Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, let's go back and leave a letter to your lord." ”

Xia Zhi knew what the little black fish meant, and she was happy for a while, but she still decided to hide this matter for the time being. The Tian family and the Tian family have been indulged by Xia Xiucai for all these years, and once they know this news, it will definitely be turned upside down.

If this news is to be revealed, it should not be from them, but Xia Xiucai should do it himself.

Xia Zhi asked Xia Xiucai: "Dad, are you going to tell my mother?" "From two hundred taels to thirty taels, and the two hundred taels are said to be the result of the Tian family's concessions, and the people originally wanted more.

Xia Xiucai's mood was a little more relaxed, and when Xia Zhi asked this question, his heart suddenly sank. "I'm going to tell your mother the truth."

The chief of the mountain stopped giving him an advance on his salary, and his colleagues and students stopped lending him money, and he was helpless.

Xia Zhi secretly sighed and shook his head. For Xia Xiucai, this is the best he can do. And the plan she set at the bottom of the kettle was precisely for this.

Xia Xiucai just couldn't make up the money, and after the Tian family and the Tian family made a fuss, they could only be helpless.

Xia Xiucai's personality can only be like this.

Back on Xishi Street, Aunt Xia was also taken aback when she saw that Xia Xiucai pushed the cart to send the two children back. She left Xia Xiucai to talk and eat, Xia Xiucai only said that there were many things in the academy, and left in a hurry after only saying a few words.

Seeing Xia Xiucai leaving, Aunt Xia was very worried. "Sixteen, your father knows that you sell zongzi! Hey, I just thought, this thing is always hidden. ”

"Sixteen promised to lend her father ten taels of silver." The little black fish told Aunt Xia.

"Huh?!" Aunt Xia was surprised again, and she was ashamed of Xia Xiucai. "Ten taels, then you don't need sixteen. I'll discuss this money with Changsheng's father, so take it from me. ”

"Auntie, you don't need to do this. Your money is pressed in the shop, and the shop has to be turned. I will pay back the ten taels of silver. Xia Zhi said busily. These days, she lives in Aunt Xia's house, and Uncle Guo has told her many times, intentionally or unintentionally, that there is a lot of money in the shop that needs to be turnover, and there is no money left in his hand at all, which is enough for the family every month.

Uncle Guo said these words, and Xia Zhi understood very clearly.

In the past, Xia Xiucai asked Aunt Xia to borrow money, and Aunt Xia lent it to him. Aunt Xia made a tough decision, and Uncle Guo could only agree in the end, but he was not happy. He didn't know what to do, but he would sulk with Aunt Xia and keep muttering in Aunt Xia's ear. The couple was very unhappy because of this, and Aunt Xia was also sick, and was even known by Old Man Xia.

Old Man Xia couldn't watch his daughter's aunt get angry because of this incident, and he had a bad life, so he gave Xia Xiucai a strict order. Xia Zhi didn't want to make Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo discord because of the money.

The people of the Xia family must not borrow money from Aunt Xia. This principle, the summer solstice is recognized.

Aunt Xia is also a penetrating person, listening to what Xia Zhi said about shops and turnovers, she knew that it was Uncle Guo's small means. She couldn't help it, and still insisted on giving out the ten taels of silver.

"Auntie, don't rob me. I will not give these ten taels of silver in vain. Xia Zhi had no choice but to tell Aunt Xia about the agreement between her and Xia Xiucai.

Aunt Xia was overjoyed. "Sixteen, your grandfather and your grandmother really didn't hurt you in vain. Your family, I really have to count on you. Because of this agreement between Xia Zhi and Xia Xiucai, Aunt Xia spoke more openly.

"Your father's temper is rare in the world (it's a pity that you didn't meet a good person), so let your grandfather hold it......"

"Your mother is also a good person, you see that she treats others well. …… is a rare filial daughter....... Your grandfather treats her well, and you still have two aunts to ......, and I don't know if she's still alive...... The women in that place don't live long......"

In front of Xia Zhi, Aunt Xia would not say that Tian's was bad after all (but what was revealed between the lines was another matter), she only said Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian. Even so, Xia Solstice still knows many things that he didn't know before.

Aunt Xia knows the affairs of the Tian family quite clearly, and it seems that she has inquired in detail. Xia Zhi felt that he was getting more and more with Aunt Xia.

Speaking doesn't delay doing things. Xia Zhi and Aunt Xia watched the female workers do things in the backyard, and Xia Zhi also expanded Li Xia's characters and embroidered new banners.

Nearly in the evening, the mother-in-law who watched the corner gate brought a little scholar to find the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi had just finished eating, and was talking to the two female workers, when he saw the little scholar coming over, he was slightly surprised. The little scholar politely saluted Xia Zhi and called her Miss Xia, with a smile in her peach blossom eyes.

The summer solstice sent all the female workers away, and then stood up and saluted the little scholar. "I don't know that Tian Gongzi is here, it's really rude."

Tian Kuo Tsing Yi and small hat are completely dressed as little scholars. He was very happy to see that Xia Zhi recognized him, but he did not make a noise in front of the female workers.

"Sixteen, it turns out that your workshop is here, very good, very good." Tian Kuo looked around and praised with a smile.

Xia Zhi thought that he was completely polite, she had put a lot of effort into this temporary small workshop, and it was well managed, but Tian Kuo was not a person who cared about this. Compared with him, Uncle Guo and Changsheng's appreciation was even more valuable.

Xia Zhi asked Tian Kuo to sit down and speak: "Let Tian Gongzi smile." How did Tian Gongzi find here? ”

"Isn't that easy?" Tian Kuo sat down with a smile and didn't explain to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi didn't ask, she washed the tea bowl again and poured a bowl of sour plum soup for Tian Kuo. Tian Kuo saw that the sour plum soup was clear and bright, with osmanthus floating on it, exuding a faint fragrance and coolness, and the white porcelain tea bowl was also clean, so he took a sip of the tea bowl, and his heart was quite ironing.

"Sixteen, you cooked this sour plum soup yourself?"

"yes." Xia Zhi nodded, this is the material she bought from the pharmacy herself, and added honey and osmanthus to boil. "I just brought it up from the well, Tian Gongzi can eat it."

"Good." Tian Kuo looked at the summer solstice, "It's pleasing to the eye." ”

Although Xia Zhi didn't have much contact with Tian Kuo, he also knew a little bit about some of his temperament. She ignored Tian Kuo's words, and only asked him "what is the reason for coming here".

"There's something I need Sixteen to help with." Tian Kuo winked at Xia Solstice's peach blossom eyes.
