Chapter 416: A Big Event
May pursed her lips, she was actually very conflicted in her heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć On the one hand, of course she is willing to marry Zhang Fang soon, although the two have just met.
That day, Zhang Fang came to the barbecue stall, and May suddenly lit up. It's not that Zhang Fang is particularly handsome. Zhang Fang's appearance can only be regarded as delicate at best. But Zhang Fang's clothes made May immediately decide that he was a rich son.
Then things are simple. May took the initiative to step forward and soon learned about Zhang Fang's family history. Then, she identified this person from the bottom of her heart. Because May knew that this might be the richest and most decent person she could find.
As long as she marries Zhang Fang, she will be able to live a carefree and wealthy life from now on, and she will be able to raise her eyebrows in front of the Xia family and everyone from now on.
But on the other hand, May also wanted Zhang Fang's feelings and infatuation with him to be deeper. In that way, she will be able to marry into the Zhang family more smoothly.
However, if the time drags on for a long time, something else may go wrong. May didn't think that a rich boy like Zhang Fang would have no one to come to the door to propose, so he waited for her to appear.
In this case, it may still be beneficial to force it now. This can not only avoid other accidents, but also the elders of Zhang Fang and the Zhang family express that she is a noble and well-behaved girl. In the current situation of the two, the Zhang family should come to propose.
Thinking so, May settled down, but on the surface she was still frowning.
"There's no way out now, so I can only send him a letter. "May seems to be a decision that was forced to make.
She did it on purpose. If the marriage is completed, it will naturally be her charm. If the marriage doesn't work out, it will be Mrs. Xia, Layue, Xia Zhi, and other people who can't look down on her well to stir up the yellow.
May had already figured out how to tell Zhang Fang about the letter. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, of course, you can't wait for the next big set in Linshui Town, someone has to go to Xin'an Town to find Zhangfang.
"I'll go. Second Uncle Xia said. There is no one else to choose but him.
"Dad, don't go by yourself. You bring the two pillars with you. May said immediately. Second Uncle Xia wants to find Zhang Fang in person, so it means that he is forced to marry. If Xia Zhu came to Zhang Fang to say, he would be tactful. In this way, no matter what Zhang Fang's attitude is, there is a regression.
Xia Zhu went and said that it was useless, and Second Uncle Xia could come forward again.
May, this is to think of everything that can be thought of. These days, there is only one thing on her mind, and this is the major event that will determine the rest of her life.
Second Uncle Xia thought about it and felt that this arrangement in May was good. "It's late today, I'll take Erzhu tomorrow. ā
Second Uncle Xia's temperament is actually a little lazy, and it is also a rare thing to be able to be so attentive and hardworking. If you can marry into the Zhang family in May, the elders of the Zhang family will be a widowed mother, and the family business will be big......
Second Uncle Xia didn't dare to think of occupying the Zhang family's industry, not to mention anything else, Old Man Xia's education was still there, and he didn't dare to think about or do such a thing. But in the future, if you get more light from your daughter and aunt, it's still completely okay.
It was very easy for Old Man Xia to inquire about the Zhang family. And he was also very satisfied with the news that he had returned.
āā¦ā¦ The kid in Zhang Fang heard that he was very benevolent and righteous, and he was very filial. His mother was young and widowed, and there was a torii. In short, the reputation of Zhang Fang's mother and son is good. Zhangfang's mother, Chen, is said to be very virtuous, capable, and able to speak, and is a person who has arrived.
"I'm afraid May won't be worthy. After dinner, Old Man Xia discussed this matter privately with Old Lady Xia.
Xia Zhi watched the little black fish write on the side, and also heard Old Man Xia's words.
"The old lady of the Zhang family is young and widowed, and there are many people in the Zhang family, she can keep the family wealth and raise Zhang Fang well, it is really not simple. How is Mrs. Zhang's temperament?What does her mother's family do?" Xia Zhi also asked.
Mrs. Xia glanced at Xia Zhi. Earlier, Old Man Xia had already said that the old lady of the Zhang family was a well-known virtuous lady, but Xia Zhi now asked the old lady Zhang about her temperament. Many people will think that Hyun Sook is a character.
Old Man Xia felt that Xia Zhi asked a lot of questions, and some questions were unnecessary. However, he knew that Xia Solstice was actually a worrying character, so he was willing to patiently answer Xia Solstice's words.
Everyone now says that the temperament of the old lady of the Zhang family is good, but a few years ago, when the old lady of the Zhang family was still young and Zhang Fang was still young, there was a rumor in the Zhang family that the old lady of the Zhang family was powerful.
Regarding this point, Mr. Xia's opinion is that the old lady of the Zhang family should be a person who has rules and regulations, and has a resolute temperament.
"Most of the Zhang family is still good, but there are also one or two who have no interest, just watching the good bullying of other orphans and widows, and want to encroach on other people's family wealth. ā
"If she can marry in May, with such a mother-in-law in charge, she will be able to make a living again. Old Man Xia said for a while, and seemed to understand the meaning of Xia Zhi's question, "I heard that he is a very reasonable person, and he has a good heart." ā
So to sum up, all the praises about the old lady of the Zhang family are positive. In fact, the old lady of the Zhang family can be called a model of a woman. And the old lady of the Zhang family does have an archway.
As for the maiden family of the old lady of the Zhang family, the news that Mr. Xia inquired about said that he was an ordinary rich family, and his father and brother were very honest and responsible people.
"Just now I heard the second child say that he planned to send a letter to that Zhang Fang tomorrow. Old Man Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, "Let's see what the result is." ā
"I think the second family is very sweet about this family business. Mrs. Xia said.
"Hey!" Old Man Xia snorted meaninglessly, "The two of them have a little bit of a chance to do that." In fact, as long as the descendants are sincere, everything else is easy to say. ā
"Master, what do you think of this family business?" Xia Zhi asked Old Man Xia with a smile.
Mrs. Xia was smiling beside her, and she also looked at Mr. Xia.
Old Man Xia paused: "I haven't written these eight characters yet, what can I think." ā
This is to avoid answering.
"Master, just talk about it. There are no outsiders here, and my second uncle can't listen to them. Xia Zhi still asked with a smile, she also knew Old Man Xia's temperament very well.
Old Man Xia seemed to have no way to take Xia Zhi, he sighed, and finally said the words from the bottom of his heart: "Such a person has a daughter-in-law, and the requirements cannot be low." May, I'm afraid she won't be able to get her right. ā
There is another sentence that Old Man Xia did not say.
Qi Da is not even. Even if such a family affair is completed, the days after May may not be much better. But Second Uncle Xia's heart is so hot, May ...... May's attitude he didn't even have to ask.
Even if he wanted to take care of all the things of his children and grandchildren, Old Man Xia was now slowly thinking about it. The family affairs of the next generation, he can't have the final say alone.
Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it is Mrs. Xia who persuades him to say that this sentence is the most reasonable.
"If my sister in May marries into a Zhuang family, it is estimated that she will not be able to answer correctly in terms of work. But to live a good life, my May sister is smart. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
"Little clever, she hasn't suffered a loss yet!" Old Man Xia didn't agree with Xia Zhi's words.
That's the end of the topic.
Xia Zhi accompanied the little black fish to finish writing. She wants to go back to the front yard, and the little black fish will go with her to be her companion. Xia Zhi didn't nod or shake his head, just smiled at Mrs. Xia.
"Go, go. Mrs. Xia smiled, "I'll be quiet without you." Then he asked Xia Solstice and the little black fish what they wanted to eat tomorrow morning.
"Eat chicken cakes. The little black fish immediately rushed to make a request, "Mother, don't forget to put some shrimp on hold." "The so-called chicken cake is actually steamed eggs.
"Hey, you're a good taste. Mrs. Xia sneered, but she kept her youngest son's request firmly in mind.
"Milk, I'm still going to eat gluttony, just boil. Xia Zhi also said.
"Sixteen is really good to feed. Mrs. Xia laughed.
On the summer solstice, I took the little black fish back to the front yard. When she walked to the door, she heard Old Man Xia calling her.
"If your father wants to come, you let him come. "Old Man Xia instructed Xia Zhi, this is what he wants Xia Xiucai to come over for breakfast tomorrow.
Xia Xiucai's days at home for a year are very limited, and Old Man Xia can't wait to eat with his eldest son every meal. Moreover, the food in his backyard is good, but the food in the front yard is a little worse, he eats good things and Xia Xiucai can't eat them, and Old Man Xia is very uncomfortable.
"My mother also made food for my father. ā¦ā¦ I'll go back and tell my dad. "Xia Solstice took the little black fish away.
The next day, Xia Solstice and the little black fish came to the backyard for breakfast. Xia Xiucai didn't come, he felt that he couldn't always go to the backyard to eat, and on the other hand, he also wanted to accompany Tian more.
Old man Xia didn't ask much when he saw that Xia Xiucai didn't come, but after breakfast, he asked for dumplings.
Making dumplings is a big deal in the village, and you can justifiably ask Xia Xiucai to come over and eat together. Mrs. Xia understood Mr. Xia's thoughts, and immediately agreed.
Second Uncle Xia came over at this time, and he told Old Man Xia that he was going to take Xia Zhu to Xin'an Town.
"Dad, the town of Xin'an is quite far away, and I haven't found a car. Second Uncle Xia laughed with him, and said expectantly. In fact, he didn't find the car, or he didn't look for it at all.
Now there is a big cart at home, a big green mule and two donkeys, and he is looking for some kind of cart outside. Although he didn't spend a penny on it, he just didn't look for a car.
"Will you catch a car?" Old Man Xia asked Second Uncle Xia after thinking about it.
Second Uncle Xia understood that Old Man Xia planned to let him set up a car. The donkey was bought on the summer solstice, so I can't bear it. With a sour heart, Second Uncle Xia told Old Man Xia that he would catch the car.
"Who wouldn't know that. Dad, I didn't rush it when I was at home in previous years. But when I was in Fucheng, I always followed the car and learned. Second Uncle Xia grinned, "Just let the third child help me set up the car in a while." ā
"That's fine. Old Man Xia nodded and agreed, and then called Uncle Xia San over and asked Uncle Xia to set up a car for Uncle Xia.
On the one hand, Uncle Xia is worried about cars and livestock, and on the other hand, he is also worried about Second Uncle Xia. He also asked Old Man Xia: "It's quite far, why don't I catch a car to give my second brother a ride." ā
Old Man Xia shook his head and didn't agree: "There are a lot of things at home, let your second brother slow down and catch the car, our mule is honest." ā
Uncle Xia San didn't say anything and went out to set up a car.
Second Uncle Xia went out with him, and asked Third Uncle Xia to set up the carport. Then he went back to the east wing and talked to Aunt Xia a few times.
āā¦ā¦ His father feels sorry for the donkey, or I and Erzhu will ride a donkey alone, which is better than driving a car. ā
"The old man is eccentric. Aunt Xia said immediately, and rolled her eyes in the direction of the upper room.
Old man Xia didn't know that his second son and second daughter-in-law were in the upper room, and they could say that he was biased. He got dressed and got off the kang to go out. Mrs. Xia stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"I'll see the old three sets of cars to go. Old Man Xia said, "On a cold day, the second master and the two of them are in a hurry to ease up." The second child always looked at the donkey at home, and if they wore those clothes and rode on a donkey this day, they would have to let the wind blow through. ā
Mrs. Xia heard that he was going to see the car, so she didn't stop him.
Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer also came out later, Layue, Chen Xing'er, and Xiao Xia Lin were all outside to watch Uncle Xia's car. Old Man Xia also went up to help the handle.
After the car was set, Second Uncle Xia and Xia Zhu came out of the east wing. Second Uncle Xia's eyes saw the set of cars, but he pretended not to see them, and pretended to ask Xia San if he had set up the car.
"It's set. Uncle Xia replied honestly.
Second Uncle Xia shook out and got into the car with Xia Zhu. Third Uncle Xia was not at ease, and taught Second Uncle Xia how to catch the car and what to pay attention to.
"Our mules are honest. Uncle Xia said.
Old Man Xia instructed Second Uncle Xia to be careful on the road: "Go early and return early." ā
Seeing Second Uncle Xia and Xia Zhu drive away, everyone came back. Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia's family all came to the upper room. Seeing that the New Year is coming, we have to discuss how to spend this year.
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia had already thought about this matter.
"The New Year's meal is all eaten together. I don't need you to come out of anything. Mrs. Xia told Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San, "If you want to do something by yourself during the New Year, you can start another fire yourself." ā
Aunt Xia heard it outside, so she hurriedly went into the house to cook it, and asked Mrs. Xia what she planned to cook for the New Year.
"The dumplings have to be wrapped in one piece, too. Aunt Xia also asked.
According to the customs of Beizhen Mansion, there is a New Year's dinner at noon, but everyone has to eat dumplings at night to celebrate the New Year, and this year is considered complete.
Old Lady Xia smiled. Even if she hasn't discussed this kind of thing, Old Man Xia, she can make the decision.
"The dumplings are also a bag, and you still don't need to come out with anything. Just come and help me make dumplings when the time comes. ā
"Oh, that's a good dare. Second Aunt Xia was very happy, "Then you have to pack a little more at that time, these old people have to bring out the next day's share." ā
This is going to eat the dumplings on the first day of junior high school and also eat Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.
