The breakfast arranged on the summer solstice was sumptuous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Old Man Xia is very satisfied with the food. He didn't care about what to eat, but so many people were guests here on the summer solstice, and the summer solstice made him feel very face-saving.

Before breakfast was finished, Xia Xiucai led Tian to come.

"Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, you can eat a little bit. Old Man Xia talked to Xia Xiucai and Tian as at home. Xia Zhi also got up and saluted Xia Xiucai and Tian.

"I've already eaten it. Xia Xiucai replied with a smile. He asked the big guy to continue eating, and he and Tian waited beside him.

While Old Man Xia and Xia Xiu were talking, Xia Zhi took a good look at Tian. Living in Fucheng, Tian's dress is different from when he was at home. She wore her bare hair, the best skirt, and a thick cloak that she had never seen before the summer solstice.

It seems that after entering the city, Xia Xiucai also helped Tian buy new clothes.

Tian's expression and demeanor are also different from when he was at home. She didn't open her mouth much in front of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, and she let Xia Xiucai speak. But it's not as bad as it was at home, and I didn't deliberately say anything nasty.

This may have something to do with Li Xia's presence here.

Tian didn't bring Erya. It stands to reason that Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia are here, and Tian should bring Erya over to salute and speak. In fact, Tian didn't understand these truths, she should have done it on purpose.

Without mixing personal emotions, Tian's behavior is quite arrogant. She had to come to Old Man Xia and Old Mrs. Xia to do her duty as a daughter-in-law. In Daxingzhuang, she is not afraid of people talking about her, but in Fucheng, in Wenshan Academy, she can't help but have scruples. But she doesn't want to give in completely, so she always looks for an opportunity to prick a little thorn.

However, Tian forgot that Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia had no expectations and requirements for her at all. Such a small matter, they will not pay attention to it at all.

Although Xia Xiucai replied that he had already eaten, Old Man Xia insisted on letting him eat more on the table. When he was at home, Mr. Xia was like this.

Most of the families have a difficult life, and the first task of being a father and mother is to feed their children. In fact, this is also the case in the animal kingdom. Although Old Man Xia can't help Xia Xiucai more, if there is anything delicious, he will always think of Xia Xiucai.

Eating more is fine, but if you're a little hungry, it's a big problem.

Moreover, Old Man Xia had another layer of thoughts in his heart. He didn't have to look to see it, he knew that Xia Xiucai's food was definitely far inferior to that of Xia Solstice.

Xia Xiucai originally refused, but Old Man Xia insisted on letting him sit. He had no choice but to sit down. He also asked Tian to come with him to the table. Tian's whole person was a little stiff, and he refused to serve anything at all, only saying that he was full.

"I'm afraid this rice won't get into my stomach. Tian said with a stiff face.

This sentence has a wide range of firepower. However, because the summer solstice is the master here, even if the Tian clan is not mainly aimed at the summer solstice, the impact on the summer solstice is the worst.

But all the people present are their own families, except for one Li Xia.

But Li Xia is actually more of his own family than his own family. He sat next to each other with the little black fish, except for getting up and talking respectfully to Xia Xiucai and Tian just now, he didn't seem to pay attention to what Xia Xiucai and Tian said at all.

Xia Zhi couldn't hear Tian speak like this. As soon as she was about to speak, she saw Mrs. Xia open her mouth lightly: "I almost forgot." Yesterday the boss said you had a cold. As soon as this person catches a cold, his appetite is not good, and he is afraid that he will not be able to eat anything. ”

In such a sentence, Tian's so-called non-stomach explanation is clear. It's Tian's own body that has a problem, and it's none of anyone else's business.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, if you don't like to watch us eat, you can go up to the next room and rest for a while. Mrs. Xia said to Tian again, this is obviously concerned about Tian's words.

However, to Tian's ears, this is very unpleasant. She glanced at Mrs. Xia in surprise.

Mrs. Xia was wearing a blue satin coat, except that she was dressed more elaborately than when she was in Daxingzhuang, but the rest was no different. It can be said that when she was in Daxingzhuang, Mrs. Xia has always been blindly tolerant of her, when did she hide a needle in such a thin way, and she was pressed like this without a trace.

Tian added a layer of timidity to his heart, and glanced at Xia Zhi with a somewhat unkind look at him at the moment, and then really went to the next room under the leadership of the little girl.

"If your daughter-in-law is not well, let her rest. We don't pay attention to these things with her. Old Man Xia said.

"It's fine. Nothing serious. Xia Xiucai said, "Let's go see the mountain chief later." She followed. ”

Old Man Xia understood.

Over there, Li Xia naturally sandwiched a shrimp dumpling and put it on the plate in front of Mrs. Xia. "Big ~ milk, I don't know what you like to eat or not. You always try this shrimp dumpling, and I'll take you to Guangdong to come to the building tomorrow, there are more patterns in that dim sum, everything. ”

Old Mrs. Xia squinted her eyes with a smile: "That's good." That's good. ”

Old man Xia saw that Xia Xiucai didn't move his chopsticks much, so he sandwiched two snacks for Xia Xiucai, and asked him to drink a little porridge boiled with black japonica rice.

"This doesn't take up the stomach, it's easy to restrain it. You read and write articles, and you have to teach students to eat more. Old Man Xia said softly to Xia Xiucai.

"I asked my dad to come here for dinner. My dad always said he wouldn't come. I've got to do it and send it to my dad in a food box. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Xia Xiucai nodded and said that Xia Zhi did often send him meals.

"I don't need it in the future, I have you~ my mother to take care of me. Xia Xiucai told Xia Zhi again, saying that it was Li Shanchang who came with Erya because of Tian's family, and he changed his residence.

The dwelling was more spacious than the original, and in a small courtyard lived him and another gentleman, a total of two families.

"Mr. Sun's family is very easy to get along with. ”

"When I come back from the mountain chief, I'll go up to your place and have a look. Old Man Xia said, and it was inconvenient to ask Xia Xiucai when he finished speaking.

"Dad, look at what you said. What's so inconvenient about that? You can go whenever you want. Xia Xiucai said a little eagerly.

Old Man Xia knew that the eldest son had misunderstood what he meant. "I'm afraid that your academy has some rules. We're a big bunch of people, and we're disturbing the big guys again......"

"Nothing. Li Xia hurriedly said with a smile, "When you go to the academy when you get old, we are all welcome." ”

After breakfast, Xia Zhi ordered someone to remove the table and serve fragrant tea. Old Man Xia, Xia Xiucai and Li Xia were talking in the hall, and Old Lady Xia and Xia Zhi went to the outside of the East House.

Tian was sitting on the edge of the kang in a daze.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, are you feeling better?" asked Mrs. Xia Tian.

Aunt Xia took Xiao Xia Yang, as well as Sun Xiu'er, Sun Lan'er, Layue, Chen Xing'er and several little girls to follow up. Although Tian's face was not good, it was not the same as just now.

This will work, she has already figured out one thing. That's why Mrs. Xia changed her attitude towards her.

Tian believes that Mrs. Xia was moved by Xia Zhi's wealth, and in order to tie up Xia Zhi, she changed her style of being a good person in the past and began to suppress her. In addition, Mrs. Xia's approach should also be a warning to her.

If she wants to give Xia Zhi no face in front of people, not only will she not be satisfied, but Mrs. Xia will protect Xia Zhi and then embarrass her. For example, when they come to Li Shanchang in a while, maybe they can still meet Li Shanchang's wife.

At that time, she had to be honest.

After all, she had already seen Old Lady Xia's powerful methods.

"Nothing. As Tian spoke, he actually stood up from the edge of the kang. Such a sense of etiquette is unprecedented. Xia Solstice was laughing on the side. She had long known that Tian was actually a smart person who was very good at judging the situation.

If you use less beautiful words, it's even simpler. Tian is ...... Bullying the soft and fearing the hard.

"Mother, will my father and I still need to go with me later?" Aunt Xia asked Mrs. Xia in a low voice.

"You and the kids don't have to go. …… Let the third child follow and kowtow to the mountain chief. Mrs. Xia thought about it and said. This is not only polite to Li Shanchang, but also Mrs. Xia's selfishness, wanting to mention her son.

Although she obeys Old Man Xia in everything, and this is the territory of the summer solstice, she can call the shots in this matter.

Then Mrs. Xia looked at Tian again: "Eldest daughter-in-law, don't you have two pieces of jewelry to go out." Why didn't you wear any of them today?"

Tian Shi looked at Mrs. Xia, and quickly glanced at Xia Zhi. At this time, she didn't dare to say what she had originally planned.

“…… There are two pieces, which have long been out of fashion. If you wear it, it's a joke, so it's better not to wear it. ”

It's not entirely false, but it's not entirely true either. Tian's original intention of dressing up like this was actually to get two pieces of jewelry from the summer solstice.

The Xia family wants to save face, and they can't be dressed up by others, wearing gold and silver, so let her be bare. She may not have done anything else in Fucheng in the past few days, but she has already inquired about Xia Zhi's family background.

Xia Solstice was much richer than she thought.

There is such a rich girl, but she is poor like this. When people see it, they will definitely say that the summer solstice is not. She didn't need to open her mouth at all, Xia Zhi had to come up with good things to wear for her for the sake of fame.

Even now, Tian thinks so. However, she no longer dared to use a bad and false attitude to promote the realization of this goal.

Tian's purpose, Xia Zhi saw it very clearly, and Mrs. Xia also saw it. Mrs. Xia asked Xia what she planned to wear for a while.

"I'm just wearing a cloak. Xia Zhi said with a smile. She is not keen on gold and silver jewelry, so she only has two hairpins on her head, a pair of small ear buckles in her ears, and a pair of thin twisted silk bracelets on her wrists. She didn't wear a gold collar that she had bought a long time ago.

"Neither Li Shanchang nor his wife look at people's clothes. Xia Zhi told Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia understood. She turned her head to Tian and said, "What's fashionable or unfashionable, where are people like us paying attention to it." Eldest daughter-in-law, let me say a few words in vain. You know what our family background is, you know how much money the boss can earn, and you don't need me to tell you about the family's expenses, you have also been a family. We are not rich and noble, and we can't compare with others. ”

Tian's face turned red.

Mrs. Xia just didn't see it: "If you think it's not good-looking." I have two things to lend you. You can't borrow from Sixteen. The things that her little girl uses, you don't wear properly. It's better to wear mine. People can't say anything about you if they know. ”

"I don't wear anything. Tian knew that she wouldn't be able to take advantage of anything today. Anyway, when she goes out like this, she will lose the face of the Xia family.

"It's up to you whether you wear it or not. You're not children anymore. The reputation of you and the boss is only in you. It is not uncommon for a country talent and a teacher to teach. …… The old man loves face, but he is not a person who slaps a swollen face and becomes fat. That's who we are. ”

As soon as Mrs. Xia said this, the little bit of luck that Tian had was completely extinguished.

The people who went to see Li Shanchang today were Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia, Xia Zhi, Little Black Fish, as well as Xia Xiucai, Tian Shi, Xia Qiao, Xiao Shu'er and Third Uncle Xia. The rest of the people are fine today, they all told Xia Solstice that they want to go out for a walk, and they are afraid of troublesome Xia Solstice.

"What's the trouble with this. I'll arrange for someone to take you around. But today you are going to walk around the East Market, don't go far. Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Remember, if you get lost or something, find those people who are serious about buying and selling shops, say that they are from Ninghuatang, and ask him to send them back." I've arranged for people to be rewarded. Or let them send you to some lip fixes. ”

"Sixteen, you've treated us all like children. Aunt Xia and the rest laughed.

"I think Sixteen is quite well arranged. You haven't been to Fucheng, and there are more people in our Linshui Town, and you can still go wrong, even more so here. Don't take it as a joke, and remember the words of Sixteen. "Old man Xia praised Xia Zhi for being thoughtful.

When he spoke, no one dared to laugh, and they all said that they would remember it firmly.

The summer solstice is relieved.

Here, the summer solstice group set off to see Li Shanchang. Then Aunt Xia and a group of "tourists" also went out and went straight to Dongshi.

Li Shanchang was the old man Xia he met at Wenshan Academy.

“…… I haven't seen the mountain elder for many years, so I say hello to the mountain adult. "Old man Xia was very polite when he saw Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang hurriedly supported Old Man Xia and refused to accept his courtesy. "I haven't seen him for many years, but the old man's demeanor is still the same. ”

Old Man Xia smiled: "Old, old." The mountain grower is still the same as back then, and it hasn't changed at all. ”

"I'm old too, haha. Li Shan laughed.

And they all came and saluted. Li Shanchang first let Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia sit on the chairs. Before Uncle Xia came, he was instructed by Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Li Shanchang, saying that it was on behalf of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, and he was grateful to Li Shanchang for taking care of Xia Xiucai over the years.

"You, you ......" Li Shanchang reluctantly accepted the salute, feeling very sorry, "This is too sincere." ”
