Chapter 152: Rejoice
Old Man Xia and Xia Zhi both entered the upper room, and saw that the little black fish had already divided the things they bought into several piles, and he was saying to Old Lady Xia and the others: "These are all bought back by Sixteen." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info waited for sixteen to come back and dispatch. ”
Everyone looked at the summer solstice, and there was surprise, curiosity, and joy in those eyes. Distributing gifts is always the happiest time. So Xia Zhi didn't care about what to say when he entered the house, so he distributed the gifts first.
She first picked out the snacks that Aunt Xia brought to Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia, explaining that Aunt Xia specially made them for Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia.
"This is made by my aunt and sister-in-law Liu. In order to make these snacks, my aunt didn't sleep for half the night yesterday. "Xia Zhi told Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.
The old couple smiled and accepted the dim sum. Aunt Xia's life is excellent in the eyes of the Zhuang family, but in the Fucheng family, it can only be regarded as a well-off family. Moreover, Uncle Guo has always been very frugal, although Aunt Xia will go to the countryside to visit Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia every year, but the gifts she brings are not rich.
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia are not people who care about these. In their opinion, as long as Aunt Xia is doing well and is in harmony with Uncle Guo, it is better than anything else.
After that, Xia Zhi picked out all the things he bought. She first handed the duck egg green yarn ruler to Mrs. Xia. "Milk, this is what I bought for you and my grandfather, and it just so happens that you two elders are making a summer dress. ”
The little black fish next to him also said excitedly: "Dad, mother, now everyone in the city is wearing clothes made of this material from time to time, but it is cool." Sixteen also made me one, and in my baggage, I plan to put it on in two days. ”
Mrs. Xia rubbed the ruler in her hand, and she smiled almost from ear to ear. She has done needlework for many years, and she is very different from the quality of the clothes. "Sixteen, where did you get so much money? Even if you have money, you don't have to buy this for us. You and I can wear whatever we want. You should wear a few good clothes yourself. ”
Old Man Xia pursed his lips to hide the overly obvious smile on his face. He poked his head out, looked at the gauze ruler, and said, "It was really good to see people in the town wearing such clothes when I went to the market two days ago. Then he also asked Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, how much does this cost, and you will be milked for you in a while." How much money can you have? When you come back from a trip, remember to bring something for me and your grandmother, this heart is enough. ”
Xia Zhi didn't explain to Old Man Xia, so he asked Old Mrs. Xia to quickly put the ruler away. "Milk, don't leave this ruler behind, hurry up and make clothes, just in time for a few days to wear. ”
"Hey, hey. Mrs. Xia glanced at Mr. Xia, and when she saw that Mr. Xia asked her to accept it, she happily accepted it.
Then, Xia Zhi took out the Xia Zhubu ruler and told everyone that he was making clothes for Xia Qiao, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xia Lin. Xiao Shu'er had already been next to Xia Solstice for a long time, and he smiled when he heard this. Xia Qiao's performance was much more reserved, he looked at Xia Zhi with some concern, and he didn't know how Xia Zhi could have the money to buy so many good things.
However, Xia Qiao did not ask in public. He planned to ask Xia Solstice when he was alone with Xia Solstice for a while.
Xia Zhi asked Xia Qiao to put away the ruler of Xia Zhubu, and then took the big red banana cloth and handed it to Layue. "Layue, this is for you and Sister Lanzi to make a match. ”
Girls in the village rarely wear armor. Xia Zhi told Layue again that she had a ready-made bijia in her baggage, and she could let Sun Lan'er cut it when the time came.
A little girl of this age who does not like the new style of clothes. Layue cheered, and thanked Xia Zhi with a blushing face. Then Xia Zhi took out the ruler of the upper and showed it to Mrs. Xia.
"This ruler is good. Mrs. Xia looked at it very carefully, and then said with a smile, "Sixteen, you have bought a lot, which is enough to make more than a dozen pairs of shoes." "In the past, everyone used leftovers to make shoes, but it was the first time to buy back a large size to make shoes.
After assigning all the rulers, Xia Zhiyou took out a snack box again, explaining that she and Xiao Heiyuer bought it in Guixiangzhai. "Deliberately let the guy pick a good restraint, it was me and my uncle who honored the second elder. ”
"Oops. Mrs. Xia felt that she couldn't take anything in her hand. "Sixteen, you've bought all the fabrics, why do you still buy this snack. This snack is precious. Last time, your aunt asked someone to bring back the dim sum and said that you bought it too. That's a couple of taels of silver, and the box alone is worth a lot. ”
"Grandpa, grandma, I happen to have some money in my hand. This is a filial piety between me and my uncle, and you and my father must accept it. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Xia nodded with a smile next to her, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at Xia Xiucai, who was sitting on the side. His eldest son was admitted to Xiucai and taught in the Academy of Literature in Fucheng for many years. The things that have been honored to him over the years are not as many as the things that Xia Solstice brought back at one time.
Xia Xiucai sat there a little cramped, and he took advantage of the time to ask Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er, "Is your mother at home?"
"My mother was not at home, so I went to the opposite side of the Hetao. Xiao Shu'er said, "Dad, you and my sister are back, my mother must not know yet." ”
"Oh. Xia Xiucai sighed, and then continued to sit with peace of mind. If Tian was at home at this time, then he must rush back immediately. With so many people gathered here, the Tian family was deserted.
Everyone didn't pay attention to Xia Xiucai and Xiao Shu'er's words, they all gathered around Xia Zhi to see what she brought back. In addition to snacks, Xia Zhi also brought back a bag of tea for Old Man Xia.
Old Man Xia took the tea bag, first sniffed it, then opened the tea bag and looked at it again, and nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, this tea is good. ”
Mrs. Xia smiled on the side and said, "It's still sixteen intimate, and I know that her grandfather usually likes to drink tea." "Usually, the tea that Mr. Xia drinks is bought from the small grocery store at the entrance of the village, and most of it is tea bricks pressed by broken tea foam. The taste of those tea bricks is naturally far inferior to the new tea bought from the summer solstice.
Old Man Xia held the tea bag in his hand, and glanced at Xia Xiucai again.
Xia Xiucai also felt a little embarrassed, and he moved uneasily on the edge of the kang.
Old Man Xia still couldn't bear to talk about Xia Xiucai, especially in front of the children, so he withdrew his gaze and didn't say anything to Xia Xiucai.
After that, Xia Zhi took out the candy again and gave it to Xiao Shu'er, Xiao Xialin and Layue, of course, she would not forget to leave the best for Xiao Heiyu'er.
In addition to the gifts brought back to everyone, Xia Zhi also brought back some pen, ink, paper and inkstones, including those given to her and Xiao Heiyuer by Li Shanchang.
Of course, Xia Zhi also bought some silk flowers and grass combs, and also took them out for Layue to pick. Among them, the grass comb also brought Aunt Xia's share, and Xia Zhi also bought a new wooden comb and grate for Mrs. Xia.
After distributing the gifts brought back, Xia Solstice took out a few more oil paper packages. These are some of the cooked foods she bought from famous shops in Fucheng, including donkey meat in sauce, braised pig's head meat, and roast goose all the time.
Xia Zhi explained to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia one by one, saying that these things were all filial piety to their two elders. Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were already squinting their eyes with laughter. What they care about is not things, but the filial piety of the summer solstice.
"Okay, good," Old Man Xia said repeatedly, "You all come here to eat tomorrow, these are just the right to add vegetables, and then let you fry two dishes, and the big guys will get together." ”
The children cheered.
Mrs. Xia looked at the burden of Xia Zhi and the little black fish. When the two children went, they only had one burden, but when they came back this time, they had several more burdens. It seems that Xia Zhi not only bought a lot of things for the big guys, but also bought a lot for herself and the little black fish.
However, Mrs. Xia did not go through the packages of the two children, and her eyes fell on the chest of the little black fish first. The little black fish still has the long-life lock on his chest, but there is an extra silver collar around his neck. Actually, as soon as she saw the little black fish, Mrs. Xia noticed it. But everyone was talking in a hurry, and then handing out gifts, and she had to be free to ask the little black fish all the time.
The little black fish saw Mrs. Xia's gaze, so he took off the silver collar and showed it to Mrs. Xia. "Sixteen bought it for me. ”
"Oh, that's a lot of silver. Mrs. Xia is a knowledgeable person, she put the silver collar in her hand and looked at it a few times, this silver collar is excellent in terms of silver and workmanship.
Xia Zhi was willing to buy such a valuable thing for the little black fish! Mrs. Xia couldn't help but glance at Old Man Xia. What they didn't do as their parents, Xia Solstice actually did.
Old Lady Xia looked at Xia Solstice gratefully. At this time, she naturally noticed the difference in Xia Zhi's dress for a long time. The red gold earrings, as well as the red gold pressed hair, are small and delicate but very chic, and they are worth a lot of money at a glance.
Layue was holding the things that Xia Solstice bought for her in her hand, and she was also looking at Xia Solstice. "Fourth sister, your gold ear buckles are really good-looking. And this pressure, I've never seen it. ”
Xia Zhi approached Layue to let her see, and then took off the hair so that Layue could look more closely. Mrs. Xia also came over, first looked at the gold ear buckle of the summer solstice, and then looked at the red gold press with Layue.
"It's all good stuff. Old Lady Xia smiled and nodded, "We are sixteen years old and handsome enough." People rely on clothes, and this one is even more endearing when dressed up a little. ”
Xia Zhi smiled, while asking Mrs. Xia to help her put on her hair again. Only then did he sit on the edge of the kang. Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were both sitting on the kang, but several small ones spontaneously gathered around Xia Zhi. Xiao Xia Lin simply hugged Xia Zhi's thighs. In the end, he was torn apart by Layue, saying that the summer solstice that he would care about was hotter.
Seeing that everyone was looking at herself, Xia Zhi knew that it should be the time for her to say what she had seen and heard in Fucheng.
But before she could speak, Old Man Xia had already considered the words and began to ask her. "Last time, your aunt asked someone to bring a letter, saying that the two of you live well in Fucheng, and I didn't say anything else. …… Sixteen, if you buy these things, I will probably calculate them for you, at least eight or nine taels of silver. ”
"Sixteen, where did you get all this money?" Old Man Xia asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
For this problem, Xia Solstice has long been prepared. She knew that everyone was going to ask.
"I did a job in Fucheng. Xia Zhi picked out what he could say about selling champion rice dumplings, and told the big guy concisely. The little black fish was not willing to be lonely next to him, and interjected from time to time to add two sentences, talking about how hard and capable the summer solstice was, and also talking about the interesting things they encountered when they went to sell zongzi together.
Of course, if you just make zongzi and sell zongzi, you can't make so much money, so Xia Zhi also helped Li Xia, and she used Aunt Xia's backyard to make a workshop.
After saying that, the eyes of the people in the room widened except for Xia Xiucai. It turns out that Xia Solstice has done so many things in Fucheng these days.
"If it weren't for this, I would have come back with my uncle before the holiday. Xia Zhi finally said.
Everyone is admiring, only Old Man Xia is experienced in the world for a long time, and he understands that Xia Zhi has many difficult and complicated things that he has not said. Even with the help of someone, it is not so easy to set up a workshop.
Xia Zhi, this kid is really smart and capable, and he also hurts. A smart and capable person does not necessarily attract pain. So the summer solstice is even more rare.
Old Man Xia has something to ask Xia Zhi, but he doesn't plan to ask now, and in the future, he can have a good chat with Xia Zhi slowly.
After talking about his own affairs, Xia Zhi remembered that Second Uncle Xia's family came. She hurriedly took out the snacks that Second Uncle Xia asked her to bring. "Grandpa, grandma, this is given to you by my second uncle and second aunt. ”
"This is what Sixteen Hard-pressed asked them for. The little black fish immediately revealed the truth, "If it weren't for sixteen, my second brother wouldn't have remembered to bring things to my father." ”
The little black fish said that Second Uncle Xia took Xia Zhu to do things in Guifangzhai. "I also went to Juanzi's sister-in-law's house with Sixteen. My second sister-in-law is there in May and July. ”
mentioned Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia, Old Man Xia's face darkened a little. "Let's talk about these things slowly, don't be in a hurry first. As Old Man Xia said this, he looked at Xia Xiucai, "Boss, what do you have plans for coming back this time?" ”
Compared with Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia, which has become a foregone conclusion, Old Man Xia pays more attention to Xia Xiucai. Because he knew that according to the agreement between Xia Xiucai and the Tian family, Xia Xiucai should bring back a large amount of money when he came back this time, and he was going to hand it over to the Tian family and then send it to the Tian family.
Old Man Xia paid extra attention to this matter, because it was about the eldest son's family, especially Xia Zhi as a daughter. Old man Xia is caring about the summer solstice.
Xia Xiucai had some expectations for Ai Ai, and he glanced at Xia Solstice before he wanted to speak.
Xia Zhi happily told Old Man Xia: "Master, I want to tell you a great joy." ”
