At the beginning, Xia Zhi wanted to prevent the Tian family from marrying the eldest girl to a nearby family, just to avoid this situation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but no one expected that although the eldest girl did not marry into a nearby family, she was arranged by the shopkeeper Liu in Linshui Town.

The so-called going around and around, the Xia family is still affected by the Tian family.

Because Old Man Xia asked, Xia Zhi said a general account of what happened at the eldest girl's house. “…… are all good at raiding the house, so they almost stripped the eldest girl, and almost all the things that can be taken away have been taken away. I'll give you some leftovers, I guess I'll keep it for later......"

Xia Zhi said in detail, and the few people in the Xia family who didn't go to Linshui Town were very embarrassed.

"What kind of sin is this!" Mrs. Xia was soft-hearted, and she was a little pitiful.

"Fat Liu is also unlucky. Uncle Xia said.

Old Man Xia ignored these things, so he asked Xia Zhi: "The twenty taels of silver of the eldest girl, is it really spent by the Lao Tian family, or is it fake, is it an excuse to ask the eldest girl for money? If it is really spent, do they buy a house or buy land?"

"I think it's really a failure. "The summer solstice said.

"Defeated?" Old Man Xia's heart jumped, twenty taels of silver is not a small amount in the villager's house. "Why did they give them a ruined flower?"

"Master, I promised my mother not to say anything about this. Xia Zhi said to Old Man Xia.

Old Man Xia was stunned: "What, sixteen, can't you say?"

"No, you can't. Xia Zhi smiled, "Master, listen to me." I told my mother, and my mother promised me not to make up for my mother's family in the future. I told her that my father's two taels of silver every month would go to my tribe from now on. I will ask Li Xia to write a letter to the academy in a while, and if my father doesn't use the money himself, he will deposit it in the academy's account first, and wait for me to get it. ”

Originally, Xia Zhi had discussed with the Tian family and Xia Xiucai, and the two taels of silver belonged to the Tian family. And the Tian family took the two taels of silver and didn't care about the family, it must be subsidized to the Tian family.

Now, Xia Solstice will give these two taels of silver back.

Old Man Xia was surprised and delighted: "Sixteen, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. Xia Zhi smiled again, "Master, then you are still asking me about the eldest girl's money, why did her father give it to you?"

Much has been revealed in this question.

Of course, Old Man Xia knew that Xia Zhi was deliberate, and he couldn't help but smile for Xia Zhi's cunning.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask. Anyway, it's a thing of the past, and it's no good for me to know it, so I guess I'll have to get angry. ”

Old Man Xia is a smart person, and he should have guessed where the money went was not honorable. In the sentence of the summer solstice, there is really too much information revealed.

"That's a good thing, I didn't expect it. Old Man Xia was a little chattering happily. According to his original plan, Xia Xiucai's salary in this life had to be wasted, and it was filled in to Lao Tian's family in vain.

But now that the peak is turning, Xia Xiucai's two taels of silver are being asked to come back by Xia Zhi.

Without those two taels of silver, the days of the Xia Solstice family have passed very much. Now that they have those two taels of silver, Daqiao and Xiaoshu'er will both go to private schools to study.

"Sixteen, ah......" Old Man Xia plans to discuss this matter with Xia Zhi now.

"Master, I know what you have to say, it's definitely no problem, as long as my brother and Xiaoshu'er are willing to go. But I have a word first, to study, then you have to study hard, with the family's money to fish, I will not agree first. "Summer solstice, this is also a scandal ahead.

But if she said this, Old Man Xia was very much in favor of it.

"That's for sure, I don't say yes. Old Man Xia said with a smile.

Xia Qiao was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. Xiao Shu'er was ignorant, and she didn't understand what Old Man Xia and Xia Zhi were talking about.

Xia Zhi made his words clear. "With these two taels of silver, brother, you and Xiao Shu'er can go to the private school next year. ”

Xia Qiao was surprised and hesitant again: "Now I can support a labor at home." If I go to school with Xiaoshu'er, there will be sixteen left in the family. Those sixteen are busy here, and they must not be tired. ”

Xia Qiao's words were not taken into account at all. He didn't expect anything from Tian.

"I can read or not. Xiao Shu'er was even more simply, "I'll follow my sister wherever she goes, that's it." ”

"It's not out of luck!" Xia Zhi poked Xiao Shu'er's forehead with his finger.

The little tree laughed and didn't hide.

"I still have to go to a private school to know a few words and understand the reason. Old Man Xia said, "What Daqiao is worried about, this has me, your grandmother, and your third uncle and three aunts, and I must not let Sixteen be too tired." ”

"I am also willing to let my brother and Xiao Shu'er go to study, even if I can't take the test in the future, I can read and break words, I can help settle accounts and keep accounts when I come back in the future, and then write a note or something, it's convenient. ”

As for the affairs of the family, with her and Tian's family, the backyard will also help. Moreover, the summer solstice was also planned, and she couldn't be busy, so she asked for help.

"I've calculated, it won't cost much, we'll earn enough money. Xia Zhi told the big guy, and then said jokingly, "But my brother and Xiao Shu'er won't be able to save the money for their daughter-in-law in the future." Brother, Xiaoshu'er, listen well, the family provides you with education, but in the future, you will have to rely on your own ability to become a family and set a daughter-in-law. ”

When Xia Zhi said such a thing, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Xia Qiao doesn't take this as a joke. "That's for sure. "He and Xiao Shu'er went to school, which had already put too much burden on Xia Zhi. They only spend money and don't make money, and of course they have to rely on themselves for the future, and there is no reason to drag down the summer solstice all the time.

"Brother, that's not called dragging. I say this to ask you and Xiaoshu'er not to learn from those scholars who have achieved nothing. Besides, if you two go to school, it's not like you can't help the family at all. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

"Yes. Xia Qiao also smiled, "Then I must take out ~ time to do the work, and I want to continue to do chores when I come out of the stall." ”

Summer Solstice nodded.

When Xiao Shu'er heard that Xia Zhi asked him to study, he didn't say anything about not going, but assured Xia Zhi that he would definitely study hard and come back to help Xia Zhi settle accounts and keep accounts in the future. This kid is different from Xia Qiao, he doesn't have the idea of studying to show off his talents and raise people.

Xia Zhi didn't think much about it, the so-called people have their own ambitions, and not everyone is suitable for taking the path of the imperial examination.

But Old Man Xia sighed. He felt that the reason why Xiao Shu'er didn't have the idea of studying was because he was badly educated by Tian. Xia Qiao was still in the backyard when he was a child, and he was taught and influenced by him. But when it came to Xiaoshu'er, it was completely in the hands of the Tian family.

Tian has hurt his grandchildren.

Old Man Xia no longer inquired about the Tian family, so Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish went to the West House with Li Xia and watched Li Xia write a letter. Then, Li Xia also read the letter to Old Man Xia.

Old Man Xia was very satisfied, and he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Xia Xiucai, mainly about the situation at home, about sending Daqiao and Xiaoshu'er to study next year, and mainly praised Xia Solstice.

Old man Xia also told Xia Xiucai in the letter that Xia Zhi's granddaughter was better than his son.

After writing the letter, Old Man Xia couldn't wait for tomorrow at all, so he immediately asked Uncle Xia to drive the letter to the town.

As long as Li Xia's letter is delivered to the Juxian Restaurant in the town, Shopkeeper Li will naturally arrange for it to be sent to Fucheng as soon as possible.

When Uncle Xia returned from sending the letter, Old Man Xia's heart fell to the ground.

After dinner, the summer solstice returned to the front yard slightly earlier than usual.

Tian had already eaten and was sitting on the edge of the well in the front yard doing needlework. Xia Zhi took a closer look, Tian was embroidering a purse, and the embroidery was quite exquisite.

"I'm back. Tian greeted Xia Zhi, and his attitude was obviously much better than usual.

"Hmm. Xia Solstice nodded.

"You didn't say that, did you?" Tian looked up at Xia Zhi.

"I didn't say it. Xia Zhi replied affirmatively, "Mother, don't worry, my grandfather won't inquire about this matter in the future." Even if he heard from others, he wouldn't use this to find a back account with you. ”

"Really?" said Tian.

"Of course it's true. Mother, don't you believe me?" Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Tian was also unambiguous: "I believe you have this ability, but I don't believe you have this kind intention." ”

"Okay, I'll go and tell my master to know. "The summer solstice turned around and left.

Tian was in a hurry, and hurriedly stood up and pulled Xia Zhi. She is true now~ I believe that Xia Solstice didn't say it. "Summer solstice, my mother is playing with you. ”

"I'm telling the truth. Xia Zhi turned around and said.

"That's good, that's good. Then I'm relieved. Tian said again and again. Although it is far away, this kind of thing will reach the ears of Old Man Xia sooner or later, no matter how Xia Solstice did it, if Old Man Xia does not pay attention to this matter with her in the future, a big stone in Tian's heart will fall to the ground.

If this kind of thing is really said, she will have no face, and she will no longer be able to straighten her waist and speak in the future.

"Xia Zhi, you must have asked Li Xia to write a letter, right?" Tian sat back on the small bench and said to Xia Zhi again.

"yes, that's for sure. Mother, you really know me. Xia Zhi said lightly, and sat next to Tian, looking at the clouds in the sky.

"Hey!" Tian smiled bitterly, "You see I'm not embroidering purses now." ”

"Hmm......" Xia Zhi glanced at Tian in confusion.

"I don't have a penny in my hand now, and I will definitely not have a penny in the future. I also embroidered my purse to earn a few dollars, and I also saved myself from making difficulties everywhere. Tian said. This is not without complaint.

Of course Xia Zhi heard it, but she didn't hear it. "Mother, tell me what you want to buy, I'll buy it for you. "Xia Zhi said very kindly and generously.

But Tian didn't believe her.

"You buy it for me...... Come on, even if you really buy it for me, your uncle will be the first to refuse, and you will have to say that I have bullied you! I can hold your uncle from arguing with me! I'd better embroider my purse myself. …… Summer Solstice, you'll help me sell it, won't you?"

Speaking of this, Tian seemed to remember that if she wanted to embroider purses to make money, she had to rely on the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi smiled very sweetly. "Mother, of course I'll help you sell it. Even if you embroider well, the matter of selling purses will be on me. "She also plans to earn more middleman fees from Tian's family.

With the promise of the summer solstice, although Tian was skeptical, he embroidered his purse more carefully and seriously.

The second girl is accompanying the eldest girl in the town, and Sun Lan'er has not come yet. Tian has something to say, so he can only say it to Xia Zhi.

"I guess I'm going to get through it too. Hey, the big girl took over my class in the future. In the past few days, Shopkeeper Liu came back from outside, and he didn't know what the eldest girl told him. Summer solstice, you inquire more when you rush to the market, if there is anything, we can't ignore it......"

Tian's meaning, there is a big girl in front of her, and Old Man Tian and Tian Wang's will not come to her. Therefore, she had to try her best to help the eldest girl to trap the shopkeeper Li.

"Let's see. "Xia Zhi has nothing to say about it.

Will Shopkeeper Liu be bored with the big girl because of this matter, don't be a big girl, Xia Zhi can't say for sure.

"Your uncle, it's all spoiled by your grandmother and your grandfather. And your aunt, who is treacherous, doesn't say anything, she has something in her heart, she can't even look at a man......" Tian was a buddy, and at the same time chatted with Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi didn't like to hear this topic very much, so she interrupted Tian's words without a trace and told her that Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er were going to private school.

"Ah......" The expression on Tian's face changed, and then he was silent for a long time before saying a good word.

The atmosphere between the mother and daughter has become cold again.

The summer solstice doesn't care and continues to enjoy the sunset on the horizon.

As the saying goes, the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles, and the sky is full of colorful clouds this evening, and tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day.

Autumn is coming.

It wasn't until Sun Lan'er came over that Xia Zhi and Tian began to speak again.

At night, Xia Zhi and Sun Lan'er lay on the kang and chattered.

Until Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er were going to study, Sun Lan'er was very happy for the two brothers, but at the same time, she was worried that Xia Zhi would be too burdened at home with Tian alone.

"I'll come to help you every day from now on. Sun Lan'er quickly made up her mind, "In the future, I will have to follow my father to do a part-time job." But I thought about it, my mother didn't dare to treat me as harshly as in the past, so I would go a few less. Sixteen, in the future, don't do the heavy work here, leave it to me. ”

"Where's that? Xia Zhi smiled, "My father said, the backyard will come to help." ”

"No one is as good as me. Let's just be separated by a wall, what's the matter, you can say hello and I'll be there. Sixteen, let's talk about it. I'm happy to do the work for you. Sun Lan'er said to Xia Zhi very seriously, and there seemed to be some people in the backyard who were afraid that they would rob her of her work.

"Well, that's fine. Xia Zhi thought about it and agreed.

Sun Lan'er is better than working for others than for others. Sun Lan'er is at ease when she works, and she will not treat Sun Lan'er badly.

When she went to the market again, Xia Zhi really paid attention to the news of the eldest girl, and at the same time, she also paid attention to inquiring about the affairs of the Tian family in Tun'er, the backer.

She doesn't need to inquire about the news of the eldest girl.

The eldest girl was very obedient, knowing that Xia Solstice was coming to catch the market, and she couldn't go out by herself, so she sent Er Ya here and told Xia Solstice everything.

Fat Liu is back.
