"What's the big deal?" Old Man Xia immediately asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xia Zhi looked at Xia Xiucai and smiled: "Dad, then I'll tell my grandfather?" Xia Xiucai nodded and said to Xia Zhi, "Say it." You are eloquent and can understand better than I can say. ”

Old Man Xia looked at Xia Xiucai suspiciously, and then looked at Xia Zhi: "What is going on?" ”

Xia Zhi told Old Man Xia: "My father decided not to give my mother so much money." My father plans to only give the Tian family thirty taels of silver to help Tian Dabao go to his daughter-in-law, and there will be no more. ”

Although thirty taels of silver is not a lot, it is something that Xia Xiucai can afford. Moreover, these thirty taels are a lot less than those two hundred taels. Old Man Xia was overjoyed, but he still couldn't believe that it was true, so he asked Xia Xiucai for confirmation.

"Is what Sixteen said true?"

"It's true." Xia Xiucai replied in a hurry, and told Old Man Xia that Li Shanchang refused to give him a salary advance, and he couldn't borrow money from his colleagues and students. "I don't know why, I guess I've borrowed too much money over the years. However, I slowly paid it back. ”

Xia Xiucai has been kept in the dark so far, and I don't know why everyone refuses to lend him money.

Xia Solstice lowered her eyes, and then saw the little black fish smiling at her with her face up. Xia Zhi hurriedly lifted her eyelids and glanced around, and when she saw that no one noticed her, she winked at the little black fish, meaning that he should not show his flaws. What she did should not be known by Xia Xiu at present.

Little Black Fish is the most clever child. Xia Zhi winked at him, and he immediately realized that he would squeeze his small mouth tightly.

Old Man Xia understood. It turned out that Xia Xiucai made such a decision, largely because he really couldn't borrow money. However, this is much better than Xia Xiucai raising two hundred taels of silver.

Old Man Xia nodded: "Our Zhuang family, thirty taels of silver is enough to handle a family affair." Even if the Tian family treasure is more special, this silver is about the same. ”

Saying this, Old Man Xia inevitably complained. "Over the years, you've given them a lot. I sit here and know that their newly renovated house, and the land they bought, are all your money. If their family lives well, they can save some money in the past few years, which is enough for Dabao to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Although Old Man Xia complained a little, what he said was not Lao Cheng's words for the country.

Xia Xiucai nodded, Old Man Xia knew more about these things than him.

"It's a great thing." After Old Man Xia was happy, he became worried about Xia Xiucai. "But your daughter-in-law, can you talk to her?"

Xia Xiucai's face showed a look of embarrassment. When Old Man Xia saw it, he thought that it was indeed the case.

"Master, just let my dad try it. Otherwise, what can I do, my father can't borrow money, he can't sell his house and land, or he will sell me, my brother and my brother. ”

She didn't think about it. Old Man Xia said immediately. "With me for a day, she won't want to do anything like this again." Da Yue'er's matter is an eternal pain in Old Man Xia's heart.

"I raised twenty taels myself, and the other ten taels were lent to me by sixteen." Xia Xiu is a sincere person, and in front of Old Man Xia and the big guy, he actually said this matter.

Old Man Xia looked at the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi nodded: "That's the case." Actually, if my father can handle this matter well, I don't want the ten taels of silver in the future. Then she hurriedly confessed and explained, "My money is not for Tian Dabao, I want to help my father." ”

Old Man Xia bowed his head with satisfaction: "Sixteen, this child is intimate." After saying this, he counted Xia Xiucai again, "Such a good child, look at how you and your daughter-in-law usually treat her." I'm going out, and I don't even have a single piece of clothing to wear out of the house. Or did the kid work hard and buy these things for himself. ”

"You must pay back sixteen taels of silver. Sixteen is good for anything. Old Man Xia smiled at Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi has money in his hand, and what he wants to do must be a good thing that makes him happy.

"That's what my grandfather said. Otherwise, if my father can repay the ten taels of silver, he will send my brother and my brother to study. "Ten taels of silver, as a year's shackle for two children, should be enough for the private school in Linshui Town.

Old Man Xia couldn't hide the smile on his face, he didn't praise Xia Zhi this time, but counted Xia Xiucai again: "You see that you are a father, and you haven't thought about it for sixteen weeks." You, who are you worthy of all these years? You can't be worthy of Tian Laidi, and you are worthy of their old Tian family. You're sorry for even your own children. ”

Xia Xiucai is not only sorry for his child, he can't even stand himself.

"Master, my father is also very hard in Fucheng." Xia Zhi told Mr. Xia about Xia Xiucai's frugality in Fucheng Province, washing his own clothes and other things.

Old Man Xia feels sorry for his son again, and he hates his son for not being angry. He let out a long sigh, but he didn't count Xia Xiucai anymore. Today he is in a good mood and the timing is right, and he has already said a lot of words hidden in his heart. The son is older and has an idea, because he is busy, and because of the Tian family, he is still estranged from him, and his knees are also children, he has not talked about Xia Xiucai for many years.

Xia Xiucai glanced at Old Man Xia, knowing that he was feeling sorry for himself, so he was busy and said that he was not hard.

"Hey." Old Man Xia sighed again, "Anyway, if you can figure it out now, this is a good thing." Straighten up your spine and go talk to Tian. If she is reasonable, she still has you and children in her heart, she shouldn't have persecuted you anymore. ”

This half-night work is enough for Tian to know that he is careful to rush back.

Xia Xiucai thought of this, said a few more words to Old Man Xia, and went to the front yard. Xia Qiao hesitated slightly, and wanted to follow, thinking that if Tian and Xia Xiucai quarreled, he could just persuade both sides.

Xia Zhi stretched out his hand to stop Xia Qiao, and then said to everyone present: "I work and sell zongzi to make money, don't talk about it if you know, especially my mother, don't let her know." "I can't let the Tian family know about the ten taels of silver.

She had already discussed this matter with Xia Xiucai, and Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia would not talk about it, so she only needed to tell these children.

Several of the children nodded. They are now big fans of the summer solstice. They are willing to listen to whatever Xia Solstice says.

Xia Qiao also nodded, knowing that Xia Zhi's worries were not unfounded. He will also keep the secrets of the summer solstice. Xia Qiao went to the front yard, but Xiao Shu'er didn't go. He spoke around Xia Solstice and asked her about the things in the city, and his big eyes were full of envy and hope.

"It would be nice if I could go to Fucheng when I can." Xiao Shu'er said with a blank eye, "Sister, if you have anything next time, you can take me with you." I can help you with that too. I'm two years older than my uncle. What Uncle can do, I can do. ”

This is because I heard the little black fish say that I was in charge of the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi fluttered the little tree's hairy head and smiled, but did not speak. Seeing that it was almost evening, Mrs. Xia packed up her things and began to have dinner. Because Old Man Xia sent a message to ask his children and grandchildren to come over to eat together, Mrs. Xia planned to cook a few more dishes.

Xia Zhi wanted to help, but was stopped by Mrs. Xia. "Just let Layue give me a shot. You accompany your father to talk. In the past few days that you have been gone, your father has been reciting you almost every day. ”

"Let your milk take Layue to go, Sixteen, you sit here." Old Man Xia pointed to the position in front of him and said.

Xia Zhi knew that Old Man Xia had something to ask her, so he walked back with a smile and sat down in front of Old Man Xia. Old Man Xia looked at Xia Zhi twice, and asked her about the carriage first.

Xia Zhi hid the matter of selling dim sum recipes, only saying that it was mainly because of Tian Laibao, and of course there was one more thing, that is, the champion dumplings were finally sold to Guixiangzhai.

"My uncle and I came to Bao's house, and we also met Bao's father." Xia Zhi told Old Man Xia.

Tian Changzai and Tian Fuchun also brought snacks to Old Man Xia, and Old Man Xia guessed that it must not be just because of Tian Laibao, when he heard Xia Zhi say this, there was also a plot of champion dumplings in it, and he understood.

"I'm going to take a look at the old elm tree's house." Old Man Xia said this, and got up and went to Grandma Tian San's house. They originally had no contact with Tian Chang at home, but now that they got the snacks sent by others, they were sent back by their families in a carriage, so Old Man Xia wanted to hurry over and say his words of gratitude, and at the same time bring the relationship between the good families closer.

Old Man Xia is a person who knows how to be sophisticated and remembers the benefits of others.

Xia Zhi came out with him and watched Mrs. Xia and Layue Zhang Luo eat in the hall. Mrs. Xia knew that Old Man Xia was going to Grandma Tian San's house, so she said with a smile: "Your master is just in a hurry, and if you think of something, you have to do it immediately." ”

This is indeed the temper of Old Man Xia.

Xia Zhi smiled and wanted to help Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia didn't use her: "I came back by car, sixteen, you better rest." I'll just work with Layue. Your third uncle and aunt should come back in a while. ”

Aunt Xia can help Mrs. Xia cook and cook.

Xia Zhi thought about it, so he didn't grab a job with Mrs. Xia. She said to Mrs. Xia, "Milk, then I'll go back to the front yard first." ”

Mrs. Xia stopped the kitchen knife in her hand: "It's okay for you to go back and take a look, persuade your father and mother, don't let them quarrel." If there is something, let the two of them discuss it slowly. ”

Xia Zhi agreed, and went to the front yard without his baggage. The uncle took Xiao Xialin to play in the yard, and when he saw this, he hurriedly followed.

I don't know when it's time to start the little tree is already the faithful little tail of the summer solstice.

"Little Shu'er, how are you doing at home these days?" While walking to the front yard, Xia Solstice asked Xiao Shu'er.

The little tree wrinkled her nose. "Sister, it's not as good as when you're at home." Since the summer solstice to catch up with the market to make money, she often buys some snacks for Xiaoshu'er, and she often buys meat to come back for everyone to make tooth sacrifices, even if she doesn't buy anything extra to eat, she is willing to spend time on every meal on the summer solstice, and she is willing to use oil and eggs.

When Xia Zhi was cooking at home, Xiao Shu'er was very satisfied. But as soon as Xia Zhi left, Tian was in charge of Zhang Luo's food, so he gradually searched it. Although Tian also loves her youngest son, she is now anxious to save money for Tian Dabao to marry her daughter-in-law, so she is reluctant to let Xiaoshu'er eat the eggs.

Xiao Shu'er misses the summer solstice very much, misses the food at home on the summer solstice, and there will always be good things to happen with the summer solstice.

"Sister, I miss you." As Xiao Shu'er spoke, she took Xia Zhi's hand and coquettishly.

"Do you want me to bring back something delicious?" Xia Zhi asked with a smile. Xiao Shu'er is a clever ghost, and at the same time a very standard foodie.

"Sister, I miss you, and I miss the delicious food you brought back." Xiao Shu'er looked up at the summer solstice with her chin up, and said that she was telling the truth.

Xia Zhi smiled: "Xiao Shu'er, you are obedient, when my sister earns money in the future, I will send you to study and take you to Fucheng." ”

"Really, sister?" Xiao Shu'er immediately stood still, staring at the summer solstice with big eyes.

"Of course it's true. Sister, why are you lying to you! Xia Zhi also stood still, smiling at the little tree.

"Sister, you are my own sister." The little tree plunged into the arms of the summer solstice.

"I was your sister." Xia Zhi slapped Xiao Shu'er on the back of the head.

The little black fish was talking to the friends who came to hear the news at the gate, asking them to look at their silver collars, and at this time they saw Xiao Shu'er and Xia Solstice coquettish. The little black fish immediately came over and pulled the little tree away with a black face.

"Look how old you are, and you're still coquettish with Sixteen, are you ashamed?" The little black fish took out the posture of being an uncle to count down the little trees.

Xiao Shu'er was a little afraid of the little black fish, so he smiled and kept silent.

"Sixteen, where are you going, it's time to eat later." The little black fish pushed away the little tree and walked to the summer solstice by himself.

"I'll go back to the front yard and have a look." Xia Solstice winked at the little black fish.

"Huh." The little black fish immediately understood, and then asked, "Sixteen, I'll go with you." I have something to say to your mother. ”

With the little black fish going with him, it is naturally a good thing.

In this way, Xia Solstice took the little black fish and the little tree to the front yard with a smile. Before entering the back door, Xia Zhi heard Tian's sharp voice.

This must have quarreled with Xia Xiucai.

The summer solstice was secretly sunburning, and after a brief pause at the door, he came into the house.

In the east house, Tian and Xia Xiucai were sitting on the edge of the kang not far apart, and Xia Qiao was standing on the ground between the two. Tian was pointing at Xia Xiucai's nose and shouting,

"I said that I would prepare at least one hundred taels of silver, and you can take out thirty taels now, what can you do with it." How did you promise me that day? You asked me to make wax, so that I didn't have the face to go to my father! (To be continued.) )
