Guo Xi's wine shop had an accident, and Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia also knew. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After sending away Uncle Xia's family, Aunt Xia took Sister-in-law Liu and Xiaohong to start cleaning up. Changsheng asked Uncle Guo what was going on with the wine shop. At the time of the incident, although they were all outside the liquor store, they left quickly because they had to accompany them to the night market in May and July. As for the cause and effect of the matter, Changsheng still doesn't know.
Uncle Guo sighed, and he told Changsheng that Guo Xi and Guo Qian didn't know why a dead mouse suddenly appeared in the wine vat. They compensated the customer a sum of money, said they were going to dump the whole vat of wine, and then closed the shop.
"The impact today is so bad. Even if you pour out all the wine, the business will be affected. I'm afraid that no one will go to the wine store for a while. ”
Guo Xi and Guo Qian were very worried about this matter, and they didn't go back until they talked for a long time. This night is destined to be a sleepless night for Guo Xi's family.
Although Uncle Guo cares about his eldest brother's family, it is not his own business after all. After saying a few words, he asked Changsheng about accompanying them to go shopping in May.
Changsheng said it honestly, and naturally mentioned the matter of buying things for May, July, Xia Zhu and Xia Yang. Uncle Guo has always been careful about this, so he asked Changsheng in detail.
Changsheng bought a lot of things for May. Uncle Guo quickly asked, and those things were all asked for by them in May.
"They just looked at me when they took things and didn't pay for them themselves. I'm next to me, so I'm embarrassed not to pay for it. Dad, didn't you also say that I should entertain my cousins and cousins. As he spoke, Changsheng subconsciously touched his money bag. His purse is now completely deflated.
Uncle Guo smacked his lips. "Your second uncle's family said that they have money in their hands now, why are the children still like this. Hearing that Changsheng spent a lot of money, Uncle Guo was distressed, but he didn't count Changsheng too much, but he just sighed again, "If you want to be sensible, you are still sixteen sensible." ”
Changsheng also accompanied Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyu'er to go shopping, but Xia Zhi never let Changsheng spend money. Not only that, but every time Xia Zhi goes out, he will bring them something back.
"No matter how much money you have, people will be respectable for what they do. Uncle Guo's words came from the bottom of his heart.
Changsheng also felt that the summer solstice was much stronger than that of May.
Aunt Xia led someone to clean up the inside and outside of the house, and then walked back to sit. She also heard what Uncle Guo and Changsheng said, so she said that the hour was not early, and let Changsheng go and rest first.
When Changsheng left, Uncle Guo and Aunt Xia also packed up and prepared to lie down.
Uncle Guo didn't know what to think, so he asked Aunt Xia carefully: "You said that his second uncle's family is quite beaten up now, and they speak quite loudly." But they didn't go out to see the carriage and sedan chair arranged by the prisoner's family. How many people don't have money in their hands in May?"
Aunt Xia ignored Uncle Guo.
Uncle Guo still told Aunt Xia about his doubts. "You say, how much water can be in the words of his second uncle and second aunt?"
Aunt Xia couldn't ignore Uncle Guo anymore: "If you want me to say, let's do our business in peace, live our lives, don't think about borrowing anyone." You didn't know my second brother on the first day, what kind of person is he, and he still uses me to remind you. ”
Uncle Guo was a little unimpressed: "People climbed up to the prison master, that's not fake." ”
……
When Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish returned to the West House, Pearl had not yet slept. Xia Zhi took out the grass comb he bought and let the pearls pick it. "I bought six. I'll have one of myself, go back to my mother, one for the third aunt, Layue, and Sister Lanzi, one for each of them, Pearl, you can pick one first. ”
This kind of grass comb is not a comb, but a comb-like hair accessory, which is very popular among big girls and small daughters-in-law. Xia Zhi saw that the grass combs sold at a stall were very delicate today, so I bought a few more.
The pearl has a row of grass combs, but I still like it when I see the summer solstice and buy it. She picked one and happily put it away. Then he turned back and complained to Xia Zhi: "Why did you go shopping for so long?" ”
"Pearl, we're back late, so we're delaying your sleep. Xia Solstice hurriedly said.
Pearl shook her head, "I won't be able to sleep if you don't come back." The second uncle and the second aunt spoke loudly. Pearl pointed in the direction of the east house, she was indeed noisy by Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia and couldn't sleep. In addition, she has something on her mind.
"Yuhuan accompanied the third sister and the fifth sister to go shopping, they had a good time. Pearl asked the summer solstice slowly.
The little girl's thoughts are actually on her face.
Xia Zhi told Pearl that Guo Yuhuan did not accompany May and July to go shopping at all. "Something happened to her liquor store, don't you know Pearl?"
Pearl knew about the accident at the wine shop, but she didn't think that it would affect Yuhuan to accompany May and July shopping.
"Then she didn't go. I thought she'd have to go even if something happened to the liquor store. Fourth sister, you see that Yuhuan gave the third sister and the fifth sister a beard. "Pearl complained to the summer solstice. If she didn't say these words to Xia Zhi, she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
Xia Zhi knew Pearl's thoughts, so he told her with a smile: "The third sister plans to let Yu Huan Xiao Yang come." ”
"Hug Xiao Yang to visit the night market?" Pearl was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he understood, and suddenly felt that his breathing was smooth. "Thanks to the accident at her wine shop, otherwise she would have been exhausted. ”
With that, Pearl began to pack up and get ready for bed. Xia Zhi looked at the back of the pearl and sighed secretly.
Not long after falling asleep, Xia Zhi woke up, heard the chaos in the distance, and then heard Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo get up. Xia Zhi didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly got up and put on his clothes and came out.
Aunt Xia stood in the courtyard and looked to the west. Uncle Guo and Changsheng went to the front with lanterns. Seeing Xia Solstice coming out, Aunt Xia asked her to go back. "Go back and rest, it's nothing, I just don't know which shop is out of the water. It's far from us, and we should be fine. ”
The shop is out of water, and that's a big deal.
Xia Zhi stood with Aunt Xia and looked to the west, but only saw some smoke and no fire. It seems that as Aunt Xia said, things are not big.
At this time, the pearl and the little black fish also came out in their clothes.
"At this time, there should be nothing to do, just afraid of autumn and winter. Aunt Xia said to a few children.
Several children refused to go back to sleep, so Aunt Xia took them to wait for news in the yard. In the middle of the night, Uncle Guo and Changsheng came back one after another, and the fire had already been extinguished.
Aunt Xia asked, "Which one is going to the water, is it serious?"
"It's the coffin shop of the old Liu family, and after burning a few coffins, the people and the house are fine. Uncle Guo said that the situation of the water was not serious, and the loss was not large.
Everyone was relieved and went to the house. Aunt Xia also asked, "Why did you just go to the water?"
"Who knows, I'm afraid they were careless. Today's holiday, there is also a night market, which is messy and prone to accidents. Uncle Guo replied. There are a few coffins stored in the backyard of the coffin shop, and only a shed is built on top of it to shield them from the sun and wind and rain. The fire started from the backyard, so only the coffin was missing, and no one was hurt or the house was damaged.
For the Liu family's coffin shop, this is a blessing in misfortune.
On the summer solstice, I returned to the house with pearls and little black fish. The little black fish didn't know how to get excited, and rolled on the kang. Then it was because he was stared at by the summer solstice that he honestly lay down and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Guo Xi and Guo Qian came to find Uncle Guo.
They had already foreseen that their wine would not be sold in the near future, so they came to ask Uncle Guo for help. Guo Xi wanted to secretly move his family's wine to Uncle Guo's grocery store and let Uncle Guo sell it as if he had bought wine from elsewhere.
Because next door is his brother's liquor store, Uncle Guo's grocery store does not sell alcohol. This is also a rule that has been passed down for several lifetimes.
Hearing such a request, Uncle Guo was still a little hesitant, but Aunt Xia refused. The reason for her refusal is simple: "Who doesn't know that our two families are one family." As soon as you had an accident, our store was selling alcohol, and people were going to poke your brother in the back. ”
Uncle Guo was immediately awakened by Aunt Xia's sentence that our two families are one family. When something happened to Guo Xi's wine shop, they started selling wine here, wouldn't people suspect that the wine was from Guo Xi's wine shop? Even if he is willing to sell, he is afraid that people will dare to buy it.
It's still a trifle. makes people doubt the credibility of his shop, but it affects the overall business of his shop.
Uncle Guo came back to his senses and immediately refused with Aunt Xia, using the same reason that Aunt Xia said, for fear of being poked in the back. He also comforted Guo Xi and Guo Qian. "Our liquor store is also a time-honored brand. Something happens, and it doesn't affect anything. Just enough for a while. ”
Guo Xi and Guo Qian talked badly, but Uncle Guo and Aunt Xia only bit to death and refused, and in the end the two had to leave in disappointment.
After sending Guo Xi and his wife away, Aunt Xia came back and said to Uncle Guo: "This can offend your eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”
Uncle Guo said, "That's also a matter of no way." It's good that they think about it after a while. "You can't ruin your own business just to help Guo Xi. In this matter, Uncle Guo's attitude is still very resolute.
Then he also said to Aunt Xia: "They said that they would pour all the wine from the dead mouse, and I think they are reluctant." said that he wanted to sell it in our shop, but it was probably also soaked in dead rat wine. ”
Aunt Xia saw that Uncle Guo understood, so she didn't say anything more.
After breakfast, Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish went to the workshop in the backyard. Although the Dragon Boat Festival has passed, there are still people who buy zongzi, so this small workshop will be open for a few days.
As soon as they had finished reading around, Tian Laibao came. Tian Laibao looked elated, greeted Xia Zhi, and turned his back to squeeze his eyebrows with the little black fish.
"Why did you come here so early?" Xia Zhi asked Tian Laibao, "You don't have to go to class?"
"I'm studying at home these days. It's a holiday, and my father and mother gave me a few days off. Tian Laibao said with a smile.
Xia Zhi asked him again if he went back so late yesterday, and he was told if he had not.
Tian Laibao was very proud: "My mother likes the things I bought for my mother." My dad wanted to talk about me, but my mother stopped me, hehe. ”
After saying a few words to Xia Zhi, Tian Laibao took advantage of Xia Zhi's time to talk to the female worker, and ran to the corner with the little black fish to bite his ear. When Xia Solstice turned his head, the two of them looked like they were all right again.
Xia Zhi shook his head helplessly and called the two of them to a secluded place.
"I don't know anything, I don't want to ask anything. However, this matter ends there. Do you understand?" said Xia Zhi solemnly.
Tian Laibao and Xiao Heiyuer exchanged a look, and neither of them seemed very happy, but under the pressure of the summer solstice, they still nodded.
The summer solstice was relieved.
Tian Laibao talked about asking Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to go to his house, saying that his mother happened to be at home today. Xia Zhi thought about it, then nodded in agreement. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, she always has to go to see Tian Fuchun.
Tian Fuchun is Tian Laibao's mother's maiden name.
Tian Laibao didn't expect Xia Zhi to agree to go today, he came over with the little guy on horseback, so he was busy and had to ask the little guy to hire a car. Xia Solstice stopped him.
"My uncle and I went in my aunt's car. ”
Xia Zhi led Tian Laibao to the front yard and let him meet Aunt Xia. Aunt Xia was very polite and warm to Tian Laibao. When she was at home in the past, she knew Tian Fuchun, but she only knew each other. The Xia family and the Great Elm Tian family did not have much contact, and although they lived in the same village, the living circles of the two families were very different.
Later, the two married into Fucheng one after another, and they had little contact.
"Your mother is pretty and spicy, not comparable to our ordinary country girls. Aunt Xia also mentioned Tian Fuchun to Tian Laibao. Knowing that Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer were going to Tian Laibao's house, Aunt Xia immediately asked people to prepare a car, and called Xia Zhi out to discuss with her what gift to prepare.
"I'll prepare it for you, fortunately, we have our own shop, and the general things are ready-made. Aunt Xia said to Xia Zhi.
The summer solstice made Aunt Xia not have to be busy: "Just bring two new fruits that we bought today." ”
Aunt Xia thought about it, and really prepared a food box for Xia Zhi, containing a few rare fresh fruits. Lao Liu drove the car and sent Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to Jiajia Hutong.
Tian Fuchun heard the report inside, and personally came to the door to pick up Xia Zhi and the little black fish to sit in the backyard.
Tian Fuchun's name is very local, but his appearance is quite foreign in the eyes of Xia Zhi. Now, of course, no one would use such an adjective to describe a woman's appearance.
Tian Fuchun is a tall figure, with a white complexion and translucent red, groomed slender and long eyebrows, slightly raised at the end of the eyes, a high nose bridge, and thick lips.
The whole body is shrewd, powerful, and at the same time very attractive and tense. She is ten years younger than Tian Changzai, and it is said that the experience of marrying Tian Changzai is also quite legendary. Originally, people with the same surname could not get married, but they ignored this rule in this family matter.
has lived in Fucheng for all these years, but Tian Fuchun still has a local accent when he speaks. She carefully looked at Xia Solstice up and down, and praised: "Good Zhou Zheng's little girl, worthy of her name, it really makes people can't see enough." ”
