Chapter 351: Returning Home
Everyone looked at Xia Qiao with a smile, including Xia Xiucai. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xia Qiao's face turned even redder, he stumbled, he didn't want to speak, but he had to speak.
"I'm not in a hurry, there are so many other things to do at home. I thought, I'd like to go to school for two years first. "Xia Qiao means that I want to study hard first, and I don't want to be distracted.
Aunt Xia nodded slightly, feeling that Xia Qiao was particularly sensible and motivated. "I'm not in a hurry, but I also began to pay attention to each other slowly. Auntie just pay attention to you. ”
"Eldest sister, please help pay more attention. Ordinary people are fine, let's not pick this. The girl should be good, virtuous, and good-tempered......" Xia Xiucai said to Aunt Xia.
Aunt Xia nodded in response, and then, Xia Xiucai, Aunt Xia, and Uncle Guo began to sigh, saying that the children had grown so big in a blink of an eye, and time passed so quickly.
After talking for a while, discussing some things, Xia Zhi and his party came out of Aunt Xia's house. After eating the banquet of immortality, there is no other major event in Fucheng on the summer solstice. She began to buy things for the New Year according to the list.
Li Xia took the time to come over to accompany Xia Zhi to buy things.
Xia Zhi sensed that Li Xia's mood seemed to be very good.
"What's going on?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia.
"No, I don't. Li Xia shook his head. He told Xia Zhi that these days he is at his own home, in the academy, and then here in Ninghuatang, either reading and doing homework, or accompanying her and the little black fish. He didn't go anywhere else, where would there be any good things that Xia Solstice didn't know.
"Miss Bing'er really didn't sue?" Xia Zhi knew that He Bing'er was still living in Li Xia's house these days.
"Nope. Li Xia replied simply, and did not tell Xia Zhi about the conversation between Mrs. Tian that day. "When you're gone, I'll move to the academy for a while. It's right close to you, and I walk around once a day to help you look at the house. ”
"You move to the academy to live, can you~ mother?" Xia Zhi asked casually.
"What's not to say yes. I went to live in the academy and was not distracted by my studies. My father must approve of it, and my mother will not say it. Li Xia said confidently.
"Oh, then you take care of yourself. Xia Zhi instructed Li Xia that the conditions of the academy were not as good as Li Xia's family after all.
"Hmm. Li Xia nodded in agreement, and then helped Xia Zhi choose a ruler.
After a few days of work, Xia Solstice bought two large truckloads of things. Then she went everywhere to leave.
Early this morning, Xia Zhi arranged all the things in Ninghuatang, and took a car with Xiao Heiyuer and Xia Qiao to leave Fucheng and return to Daxingzhuang.
There are many people who come to see them off, including Li Xia, Tian Kuo, and Tian Laibao.
Xia Xiucai did not go back to Daxingzhuang with Xia Zhi and them, he had to continue to stay in the academy to teach homework, and he would not take leave and go home for the New Year until the end of the year.
The journey was naturally smooth.
Although they were happy to live in Fucheng, sitting in the carriage and looking at the more and more familiar scenery on both sides of the road, Xia Qiao and Xiao Heiyuer were a little excited.
Xia Qiao is shy, and his feelings are not exposed. The little black fish can dance with their hands. He was going to get out of the car and run with him for a while, and then he rolled around Daqing who was lying in the car, in short, he was happy and happy.
Before their carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, they met the Xia family and others who came to greet them.
Layue, Xiao Shu'er, Xiao Xia Lin, and Second Uncle Xia, who was in charge of watching them. There are two other people who are not from the Xia family, one is Sun Lan'er.
After the winter, there are fewer short-term workers, and Sun Lan'er is still a young girl, so she can find fewer jobs, so she has more time to stay at home.
Sun Lan'er had nothing to do today, knowing that Xia Zhi was coming back, so she followed the Xia family to greet her.
The other one is Lao Hei, he is wrapped in a sheepskin jacket, with a sheepskin hat on his head, his demeanor and expression are not like he has come to greet people, but more like he met by chance, as if he was gossiping with Uncle Xia.
A few small ones jumped up and down to greet them, screaming and laughing, and Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xia Lin threw themselves on the carriage. Daqing also knew that he had gone home, and recognized a few little trees, so he jumped out of the car first, and almost knocked Xiao Shu'er down.
In a moment, it was full of laughter and excitement.
Xia Zhi hurriedly stopped the car and asked Layue, Sun Lan'er, Xiao Shu'er, and Xiao Xialin to come to the car to sit. Then, Xia Zhi had to get out of the car to talk to Uncle Xia and Lao Hei.
Lao Hei knew that Xia Solstice was because of himself, so he was busy blocking Xia Solstice and not letting Xia Solstice get off.
"It's cold, stay in the car at your little girl's house. I'll just stop by and take a look, it's all good. Lao Hei said while looking at the little black fish in the car.
"Uncle......" Xia Solstice gave the little black fish who was playing with him a look.
Little Heiyuer became more and more sensible, so he got up from the car and said a word to Lao Hei.
Lao Hei immediately laughed, then said that there was something else, and waved his hand away.
Uncle Xia San didn't let Xia Zhi get off the car, he made do with it and sat on the wheel, and the two carriages continued to move forward.
Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia, Aunt Xia, and Tian were already standing at the entrance of the village and waiting. Standing with them were Second Uncle Xia's family and Guo Xi's family of three.
Xia Zhi got out of the car and talked to everyone.
"Grandpa, grandma, how cold it is outside. You guys just have to wait at home, why are you waiting here in the cold!"
"It's okay, just come out for a walk. Here the sun rises, leeward, and it is not cold. Old Man Xia said, "Sixteen, you sit back in the car, let's go home and talk." ”
At this time, the little black fish also jumped out of the car and threw herself into Mrs. Xia's arms to call her mother first. Mrs. Xia's eyes were red, and she picked up the little black fish.
Since the little black fish was six years old, unless she was sick or something special, Mrs. Xia rarely held the little black fish in front of everyone. But now she can't care about this, because she hasn't seen her son for a while, and she really wants to think about it too much.
"Daddy......" The little black fish wanted to jump down from Mrs. Xia's arms and salute Mr. Xia.
Old Man Xia hurriedly waved his hand, and a pair of eyes swept over the little black fish's red~moist face and the royal blue leather robe he was wearing. Old Man Xia said that he would say everything after he went home, and then he counted it in front of everyone and said that the little black fish was so big that it shouldn't be hugged anymore.
Although he said that, Old Man Xia's face couldn't sink no matter how much he wanted to, and the joy was still hanging on the corners of his eyebrows.
Uncle Xia is very filial, although he knew that Mrs. Xia missed the little black fish, but he was also afraid that she would be too tired to hold the little black fish, so he walked over and contributed his broad back.
Old Mrs. Xia smiled and put the little black fish on Uncle Xia's back. Uncle Xia San carried the little black fish, and everyone entered the village with a smile.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Xia's backyard. Uncle Xia San put the little black fish down, and then helped Xia Qiao move things down together.
A small number of things were moved to the house in the front yard on the summer solstice, and most of the things were moved to the upper room in the backyard.
There are a total of five rooms in the upper room in the backyard, and two rooms in the east room, so it can be said that the place is very spacious. But now there are some people who are overcrowded.
Except for those who came in and out to move things, everyone gathered in the upper landlord's house.
When Xia Zhi entered the house, he was urged by Mrs. Xia to take off her shoes and sit on the kang. Mrs. Xia had obviously cleaned up a long time ago, and there was still a thick mattress on the kang.
Then, Layue came in with warm water and asked Xia Solstice and the little black fish to wash their hands. During this period, Mrs. Xia had already prepared brown sugar water and sent it to Xia Solstice to drink.
"Drink to warm up. I'm afraid our house is not as warm as you are in the city. Mrs. Xia smiled with a spring breeze on her face, and when she brought things, she took care of the summer solstice first, and then the little black fish.
When it comes to the topic of Fucheng, the little black fish can't help it. He drank hot sugar water, and then compared with Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia and said that Ninghuatang has a ground dragon, and every day the earth dragon is burned, and the warm clothes in the house sweat when they wear too much.
"It's warm, it's warm. The little black fish was happy, and there was some showing off.
Mrs. Xia couldn't stop laughing at all. Old Man Xia was a little deeper, but there was a smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Sixteen and Xiaolong looked really good, they were smart, and they seemed to have grown taller. Second Uncle Xia found an opportunity and interjected with a smile.
Xia Zhi had already greeted Second Uncle Xia and everyone just now, and now when he heard him say this, he also smiled and nodded. Her gaze swept over Second Uncle Xia, and fell on Guo Xi and Guo Yuhuan.
Guo Xi and Li Shi hurriedly brought Guo Yuhuan over, and saluted Xia Zhi seriously, saying that they were grateful for Xia Zhi's life-saving grace. Xia Zhi looked at the three of them twice.
The three of them nodded and bowed, and seemed to be a little shorter than before. The clothes they wore looked a little familiar, and after thinking about it a little, they remembered that the three of them were wearing the clothes of the Xia family.
"It's good that everybody is safe. Xia Zhi said lightly, not cold to Guo Xi and the others, but also not enthusiastic.
Second Uncle Xia observed the words, so he turned around and told Guo Xi to let them go back and rest first. "Sixteen has just come back, and if you have anything to say, you will wait for Sixteen to rest first. ”
Guo Xi hurriedly agreed, although he was a little reluctant, but he still took Li and Guo Yuhuan out.
Xia Zhi noticed that Guo Xi and the three of them went out from the upper room, so they entered the east wing.
It seems that Guo Xi's three people are living in Uncle Xia's house for a while. Second Uncle Xia's three wings, if you want to live in these people, it is really crowded.
As soon as Guo Xi and the others left, everyone in the Xia family spoke more freely, and a few small ones asked Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer about Fucheng.
"Don't be noisy, come one by one, what's the hurry. Old Man Xia just said, he didn't ask anything.
A few of the little ones laughed.
This will work, and Xia Qiao and the others have also moved everything into the upper room.
"Let's put things together first. "The summer solstice said.
Naturally, everyone nodded.
Mrs. Xia said to Xia Zhi: "Why did you buy these old things again! Everything in the city is expensive, unlike at home, where you have to use money for everything." You still take your uncle and your eldest brother ....... You just have enough to spend, don't always buy things at home. ”
Old Man Xia nodded, this is also what he meant.
"Grandpa, grandma, don't worry, I have enough money to spend. Don't you want to celebrate the New Year, I bought it here, and I can buy less before the year, and I won't waste it. Xia Zhi said with a smile, and then asked Xia Qiao to carry the packages to the kang and open them for the big guy to see.
The big bags and small wraps were opened, and everyone's eyes widened.
Xia Zhi first took out a dark blue Doro. "This is for my grandfather. ”
Everyone asked Mr. Xia to put it on and try it. Old Man Xia was a little reserved at first, but later he was urged by his children and grandchildren, so he got up and compared Dayu in front of him first.
The color of this big hat is positive and solemn, and it can hold down the scene. The material of Doro's is very dense, and it is heavy in your hand. Old Man Xia felt that it was more pleasant, and then he put it on his body and tried it.
The big one was wide and wide, and Old Man Xia took it off after taking two steps in it, and then said two words: "Very good." "Let Mrs. Xia put the big coat away.
"I wear it when I visit the house during the New Year. Old Man Xia told Old Lady Xia again.
Mrs. Xia agreed, knowing that Old Man Xia was very rare.
"It's so thick, it can keep out the wind, it's definitely warm. I don't think I've seen this before. Mrs. Xia asked the summer solstice.
"It's Doro, the silk village in Fucheng only bought a batch of goods two months ago, and there was no one before. Xia Zhi smiled and told Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, "It's quite fashionable to wear this in the city now." ”
"That's a lot of money. Mrs. Xia said immediately.
"It's okay. Xia Zhi smiled, "This is what my uncle and I paid homage to my grandfather for the New Year." ”
"If you are filial, say that you are filial, don't always take your uncle. In addition to eating and playing, you also have to take care of him. Old Man Xia said.
The little black fish pouted, unhappy.
Xia Zhi smiled: "There is really my uncle's share here." You don't know, my uncle has done me a great favor, and I can't do it without him. ”
The little black fish immediately turned his anger into joy.
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia both thought that this was Xia Zhi's words to coax the little black fish, and they both smiled and shook their heads, but they didn't tell the difference.
They all know that the summer solstice hurts the little black fish.
After that, Xia Zhi took out a leather robe with stone blue placket and sleeves, saying that it was for Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia was surprised and delighted.
"Just buy one for you~ master, he always comes to the door to wear it. Why are you buying me such a good one? This year, the big guys have made new cotton clothes, and I have also made a new set, which is enough to wear. "What Mrs. Xia means, this robe is too expensive and beautiful, and she is not worthy of wearing such clothes as an old lady from the countryside.
", look at what you say. Why can't you wear it? This is still a lot, and when my uncle grows up, he will make you such clothes one by one, and you won't be able to wear them then. "The summer solstice said.
Little Black Fish nodded, indicating that he would definitely do this in the future.
Mrs. Xia was coaxed, and happily put away the two clothes, saying that she would wear them out when she visited the house and sat at the banquet during the New Year, so that the big guys could take a look.
"My granddaughter bought it, who of them can have this blessing!"
