There should not have been a break between May and Zhangfang. This is speculation on the summer solstice. Although Old Man Xia was strictly guarded, Second Uncle Xia's family had an unprecedented unanimous opinion on this matter.

Now that Xia Zhu's affairs have been completed, Second Uncle Xia has nothing to ask for Old Man Xia for the time being, so he has no scruples about doing things. Second Uncle Xia shouldn't dare to blatantly let May contact Zhang Fang, but they must be very happy to do it secretly to pass on news and the like.

"I'm afraid this matter is troublesome again. Xia Solstice muttered to himself.

Spring in Bukjinfu, like autumn, is gorgeous and beautiful, but it is very short. Perhaps because he was too busy, in the eyes of the summer solstice, it was almost a blink of an eye to enter the summer.

Old Man Xia brought a letter and asked when Little Black Fish and Little Shu'er School could give them a holiday, and also asked when Xia Solstice would have time. The real meaning is to miss them.

Summer is coming, all kinds of fruits and vegetables in the countryside have also come down, and Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia asked Xia Zhi to take the little black fish and the little tree home to escape the heat.

This is exactly what the summer solstice was planned.

Although there are many things to do, things can never be done, and money can never be earned. Enjoy life when it's time to enjoy it, and that includes reuniting with loved ones.

The summer solstice is the summer that loves the countryside. And her birthday is coming, and both Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia let her go home for her birthday.

Xiao Shu'er and Little Black Fish were naturally willing, and the two children almost danced hand in hand. Xia Solstice poured cold water on them: "Don't think you don't have to do your homework when you go back." I know you want to go wild in the mountains, so you have to do your homework first. …… It's double that it's in Fucheng. ”

Even if they knew that their homework would be doubled, Xiao Shu'er and Little Black Fish's joy did not diminish at all.

Not to mention Xiao Shu'er, in addition to being playful, Little Black Fish should also think about Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.

If you want to go back to Daxingzhuang to escape the summer, Xia Zhi told Li Xia first. The little black fish next to him also asked Li Xia if he would go back with them.

Li Xia really wanted to go to Daxingzhuang with Xia Zhi, but Mrs. Tian had already arranged things for him in advance. This matter is something he can't shirk no matter what.

"It is estimated that the marriage between Tian Kuo and Bing'er is about to be decided, and I also have to help Zhang Luo. Li Xia said with embarrassment.

"Is the date set?" Xia Solstice asked busily.

"Uncle and aunt have already seen the day in their hearts, so they are waiting for the letter and people from Bing'er's house. Li Xia replied.

That is, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

"Oh, then we should be able to catch up with the meatballs when we come back. Xia Zhi asked with a smile.

"That's going to catch up. When the day is set, I will bring you a letter. Li Xia smiled.

"Tian Kuo's business is nothing else. You'd better stay and help him. I'll try to come back as soon as possible. "The summer solstice said.

Tian Kuo must be happy to know it. ”

He couldn't be happier right now. ”

Li Xia smiled, he looked at Xia Zhi, because he knew that Xia Zhi would have to stay a few more days when he returned to Daxingzhuang this time, so he was very reluctant in his heart.

"I'll see when the time comes, maybe I can spare ~ a few days of effort. I'll look for you in Daxingzhuang...... Guys. ”

"You~ Mother can let you go?"

"There's always a way. Li Xia said.

"Then we'll be waiting for you at home. Saying this, Xia Zhi persuaded Li Xia again, "Don't be too reluctant." We went back to stay for a few days, and it wasn't like we weren't coming back. ”

Li Xia just laughed and didn't speak.

If you want to go back, Xia Zhi naturally has to tell Xia Xiucai and Tian. Xia Xiucai listened to Tian's words, and Tian was reluctant to return to Daxingzhuang.

It can be said that she took a lot of effort to come to Fucheng from Daxingzhuang, but she did not live the good life she expected. Not only that, but she also had a strange illness. Tian didn't want to go back to face Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, and he didn't want to go back to face those villagers in Daxingzhuang.

But of course Tian wouldn't say that, she used Xia Xiucai as an excuse. Tian said that Xia Xiucai still has a few students to bring, even if he has free time, Xia Xiucai must concentrate on studying, so that he can go further in the scientific examination.

Tian knew that as long as this matter was raised, Old Man Xia would never object.

"Father, mother, if you don't go back, then I will take my uncle and Xiaoshu'er back by myself. When I come back, I'll bring you some good food from home. …… Our pickled duck eggs are better than those bought here. ”

Tian glanced at Xia Zhi and didn't say anything. Since she planned to marry Xia Zhi but was resolutely rejected by Xia Zhi, she was even more speechless in the face of Xia Zhi.

Xia Xiucai asked, "Is your sister going back with you this time?"

"I guess not. "The summer solstice said. The crescent moon also has to take care of Mrs. Jiu's diet and daily life, although Mrs. Jiu's requests to their sisters have always nodded and agreed, but the more this is the case, the more they have to think about Mrs. Jiugu.

"It's not a year, it's not a festival. is to escape the summer, and my sister should also accompany Mrs. Jiugu to the Tian family's Zhuangzi. Xia Zhi said again.

"That's right. Xia Xiucai nodded.

Tian sneered beside him: "...... usually boasts like a living bodhisattva, what do you do to be a girl, it's not all fake. She still uses the crescent moon as a girl. ”

Xia Xiucai felt that Tian's words were mean, so he was stunned.

Xia Zhi couldn't let Tian belittle Mrs. Jiugu like this: "My sister is a good girl, why did she become a maid." Who's to blame for this?"

"You're just waiting for me right here. How many more times do you have to say this? It's a lifetime of words, right?" Tian blushed angrily.

"Mother, what you do, I'm afraid of what people say. Besides, if you don't say that you always chew on others first, and you have nothing to do, who wants to mention this?" Xia Zhi said lightly.

"You see, you see, you don't care. Is there any size here......" Tian couldn't say Xia Zhi, so he turned to Xia Xiucai and shouted.

"Say less. Xia Xiucai said impatiently.

"Okay. You are all your own people, one protects the other, and the other is an outsider. Then I'll go, I'll go. Tian really pretended to stand up and walked outside.

Xia Zhi and Xia Xiucai didn't stop her, but Erya ran over to stop Tian. The aunt and nephew tugged at each other, and Xia Xiucai said that it was almost enough.

Tian seemed to have the steps, and then sat back on the kang again.

Before returning to Daxingzhuang, Xia Zhi naturally went to see Aunt Xia again.

"Auntie, aren't you going home to rest?"

The folk customs of Beizhen Mansion, after the ambush, most of the married aunts and grandmothers will go back to their parents' homes to live for a few days. However, because they usually have to take care of the household at their in-laws' house, some of them go home to live for a day or two, but they will send their children back to their parents' house to live for a few more days.

Neither Changsheng nor Pearl has ever lived in Daxingzhuang. It's not that Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia are not welcome, but the children who grew up in Fucheng are not all adapted to and like life in the countryside.

was asked by Xia Zhi like this, Aunt Xia was really a little moved. But it's also heartbeat.

“…… I want to go back too. How nice it would be to be comfortable for a few days. But I really can't get out of it. ”

In fact, it's not really completely inseparable. After all, Aunt Xia is different from those aunts and grandmothers who have just been daughters-in-law for a few years. Moreover, she has long been accustomed to life in Fucheng, and she does not like the countryside as much as Xia Zhi.

“…… I can't do anything without me. Aunt Xia counted the things she wanted to do with Xia Zhi, and then said to Xia Zhi, "I'll go back when I celebrate the August Festival." Sixteen, you go back and say hello to me and your eldest uncle, as well as Changsheng, Changsheng's daughter-in-law, and pearls~ Grandpa, your grandmother. ”

"To be honest, I don't go back often, and I don't have any worries in my heart. You~ Grandpa, your grandmother and bones are okay, this son and grandson are all in front of you, so you don't have to worry about anything. ”

This sentence is to explain his own behavior, and at the same time, it is also the filial piety of the children and grandchildren of the Kua Xia family, and they take good care of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.

Aunt Xia is still as good at talking as always.

Before leaving for Daxingzhuang, Xia Zhi visited everywhere again. Yueya really couldn't go back with her, and said that she would discuss it with Mrs. Jiugu during the August Festival. Tian Mi'er wanted to follow Xia Zhi to the countryside for a few days, but her health has not been good recently, and Tian Qi and Jiang have not allowed her to go out.

The little black fish saw that Tian Mi'er was sick, but she was a little concerned. He promised Tian Mi'er that he would bring her delicious food and fun when he came back. What kind of birds sing very well, and what kind of crickets are particularly strong.

Because of listening to the words of the little black fish, Tian Mi'er looked much more energetic.

On the day he returned to Daxingzhuang, Li Xia personally sent Xia Zhi outside the city gate. On the summer solstice, let Li Xia go back.

"On a hot day, even if you don't get in the sun in the car, it's better to stay in the shade. ”

"I'll go back. Li Xia agreed with a smile, and instructed Xia Zhi, "Write a letter when you get home." Or just hand it over to Shopkeeper Li. I have a letter for him to bring it to you. ”

"Good. Xia Zhi nodded, she thought about it, and asked Li Xia for one thing. "My father and my mother's place, you can take care of me when I'm away. ”

"I know, don't worry. Li Xia smiled knowingly and happily agreed.

Xia Zhi waved goodbye to Li Xia and took the little black fish and the little tree to Daxingzhuang. When she first left Fucheng, she was a little reluctant. However, it is getting farther and farther away from Fucheng and getting closer and closer to Daxingzhuang, and she only has the joy of going home in her heart.

The crops on both sides of the road were already very lush, and it was time for the winter wheat to be harvested.

Xia Zhi came back this time not only for summer vacation, but also because of the wheat harvest season. The wheat harvest was a big deal for the farmer's family, and it was not only labor, but almost with a certain ceremonial solemnity.

Approaching Daxingzhuang, the little black fish and the little tree also began to be excited. The two children could barely sit still in the carriage and had to get off several times.

"Whoever of you can run as fast as Daqing, I'll let whoever gets out of the car. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Daqing had already gotten out of the car and ran.

Little Shu'er and Little Black Fish can't outrun Daqing, although they are the best runners and jumpers among children of the same age.

Closer to Daxingzhuang, the summer solstice has seen the smoke in the chimneys of each house. After nearly a day's journey, it was nearly evening. The clouds on the horizon and the curling smoke are the most common scenes in the village, but the summer solstice looks like a painting and a poem.

Their carriage was stopped.

Lao Hei saw the carriage of the summer solstice from afar, and he held two large watermelons that had just been picked and stood on the side of the road and handed them to the summer solstice.

"Uncle Hei, you're looking at melons. Xia Zhi happily collected the watermelon, and was about to get out of the car to talk to Lao Hei.

Lao Hei didn't let her get out of the car: "Hurry up and go home." You~ grandpa and your grandmother are looking forward to it at home. ”

"Uncle Hei, I'll go to my house for dinner later. I came back with good wine. ”

"I'll go another day. ”

"That's fine. Uncle Hei, go home and talk to my second aunt. I'll see them go tomorrow. ”

"Hey. Lao Hei waved his hand and let the summer solstice car continue to move forward.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, a group of large and small radish heads of the Xia family hugged them. arrived at the door of the house so lively, and the old man Xia and Mrs. Xia all took it out.

"Why didn't your father come back?" Old Man Xia looked hard into the car, but he didn't see Xia Xiucai after all.

"My dad still has to take two students. I also want to read a book in my free time. Xia Zhi said that this kind of statement can be accepted by Old Man Xia, and it will not hurt Old Man Xia's heart.

"Ah...... Teaching and reading is a serious matter. After Old Man Xia said this, he didn't say anything more.

Although it is summer, you can't keep the food for a long time, but there is still a lot of food in the things brought by the summer solstice.

Mrs. Xia took Aunt Xia and Aunt Xia to tidy up.

"Why do you buy these old things again, don't buy them, you have to buy them. You're spending a lot of money there, I know that. Old Man Xia said.

"I'm afraid I can't hold these things. Mrs. Xia also said.

"Then grandpa, grandma, you look at the big guys. "On the summer solstice, I asked Xia Qiao to take the watermelon to the well, and when it was cold, it was good to cut it for everyone to eat. "I met Uncle Hei, stopped the car and gave us two watermelons. Let him go to the house and drink, but he will not come. ”

"It's good to meet your old black uncle. Old Man Xia smiled.

They are back, and Old Man Xia should be very happy. But Xia Zhi felt that Old Man Xia's smile seemed to be a little reluctant.

Old Man Xia has something on his mind.

Xia Zhi's gaze swept around the room. Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia are here, and the two of them are not as noisy as usual, and they both seem very honest.

May is not there.

Xia Zhi knew in her heart, she didn't ask anything, only talked about the affairs of Fucheng. Aunt Xia's shop has entered a batch of new goods and sells very well, and Xia Zhu is already working in Guo Xi's grocery store......

Speaking of Xia Zhu, Second Uncle Xia couldn't help but ask: "What errand did Guo Xi arrange for Erzhu, then he has to be in charge." ”

Old Man Xia glanced at Second Uncle Xia.

In this matter, Xia Zhi can't lie to Second Uncle Xia.

"Second uncle, how big is their shop? ”
