Not only is it the summer solstice, the little girls who surrounded her back then have already started their own families and mothers.
The farthest away among them is the summer solstice, and the most difficult to see is also the summer solstice, so almost all the topics revolve around the summer solstice.
"I heard that it's much warmer than ours, is it true? Could it be that there is no winter?" asked Xia Solstice with wide eyes.
Over the years, such as Xia Qiao and Xia Xiucai, they have all been to the capital, and Xiao Shu'er has followed Xia Zhi and Li Xia all the year round, but Yueya'er, Sun Lan'er, Layue and Mrs. Xia have never been there, so they are also curiously waiting for the answer to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi smiled, and couldn't help pinching Layue's face like he did when he was a child.
Layue is now also a mother of two children. Maybe it's because life is going well, husband and wife are loving, and not seeing each other for many years has not alienated her from the relationship between Xia Zhi, she seems to be more delicate than when she was a child. Xia Zhi felt that Layue was a little coquettish with herself.
"Whoever you listen to, how can it be so evil. The winter is still cold, but it is not as long as our winter, but it is really warmer than ours. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Layue laughed: "I listened to what my big brother said." ”
Xia Qiao went to the capital to see the summer solstice, and when he came back, he told everyone about the life of the summer solstice in the capital, and naturally there were a lot of beautiful words about the capital, in addition to his own awe of the land at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it was the common feeling of people who let everyone rest assured about the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi and everyone laughed, and Xia Zhi also said: "To be honest, the winter is warm over there, and I was quite happy when I first came there." But after a few years, I still think about our cold, so I want to come back and spend the winter when I have time. ”
Ice and snow, that is also a particularly beautiful scenery and experience.
Speaking of this, Xia Zhi smiled and said to Mrs. Xia again: "Milk, my winter is warmer there." Li Xia and I picked up you two elders this time. You always go to live with us for a year or two, and let us do our filial piety. Li Xia has told me several times. ”
Old Lady Xia's eyes narrowed when she smiled.
Xia Zhi and Li Xia's filial piety She and Old Man Xia understood it, but when it came to going to live in the capital, let alone a year or two, it would be impossible even for a month or two. It's not because it's a long way to go......
"I just stayed on this kang and didn't go anywhere. No matter how good it is, I can't get used to it. Don't talk about the capital. You ask your uncle, he has been invited three or four times a year, and he is still in the city, not too far, and your father is not happy to go to live with him. I finally went once, and I didn't stay for three or two days before I came back, and I was restless, and then I simply didn't let him go......"
It's the truth.
Old man Xia was originally a person who missed his old love for his family. He could not do without his garden and his land. Moreover, he can't do without Mrs. Xia. Whether it's there on the summer solstice, or there is a little black fish, there are a lot of people who serve, but Old Man Xia is used to being taken care of by Mrs. Xia, and there are many people serving around him, and he is not comfortable.
"This old man called me. Mrs. Xia complained with a smile.
The summer solstice heard some sweet taste from it.
This is the love between Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia also said: "I count, it is still when you were in Fucheng at the sixteenth of the year, and your father went to live the most." I even lived with your aunt. From then on, there was none. ”
"In our generation, my father and my sister are the closest, and no one can compare. Layue said quickly.
Summer Solstice only laughs.
The reason why Old Man Xia was able to go to live with her back then was because many things were in the beginning, and Old Man Xia was not at ease. And now, the lives of several of them are good, and Old Man Xia has nothing to worry about, so he is too lazy to live.
"Then what should I do if my father wants to be a little fish?" Xia Zhi asked Mrs. Xia with a smile.
Xiao Yu'er is the nickname of the eldest son of Xiao Hei Yu'er and Tian Mi'er, and it is also the treasure of Old Man Xia and Old Mrs. Xia.
Old Lady Xia's body trembled slightly with a smile: "Then let them send the little fish." Once, your father really wanted to be a little fish, so he went, but he didn't stay for a few days before he came back. has a little grandson, and he can't get used to it, so he can't have children. Old man, all the way. ”
Of course, Xiao Yu'er is not only the treasure of Old Man Xia and Old Mrs. Xia, but also the tip of Tian Mi'er's heart and the eyes of Tian Qi and his wife. can let Xiao Yuer occasionally come to live in Daxingzhuang, and several members of the Tian family have also made great "sacrifices".
Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia are both reasonable people, because they know that the Tian family can't do without and can't bear Xiao Yu'er, so they don't always hold Xiao Yu'er. Fortunately, there are other grandchildren around them, as well as a number of great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters, which are also the treasures in their hearts, especially the first daughter of the bridge, who is even more spoiled.
"Xiu'er is like her aunt. Speaking of her daughter, Sun Lan'er's eyes were full of smiles, "I went to the capital with her father to see her aunt that time, and I was not happy to come back." Her father coaxed her back, and since then she has been talking about her aunt every day. If we are a little unsatisfactory to her, she will go to the capital to find her aunt and uncle, saying that she will not live with us, and she will be her aunt's daughter. ”
When it came to the children's funny story, everyone laughed.
"Be a girl for me. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Mrs. Xia explained to her great-granddaughter again: "Xiu'er is sensible and can do it." Don't look at her age now, she can do everything in and out of this house, and she can do more than half of Lanzi. Biranzi and Ohashi are both shrewd and are like sixteen. ”
Everyone said that the niece was like an aunt.
Speaking of nieces like aunts, I talked about nephews like uncles.
Xia Zhi's two sons are not as honest as Ohashi. Xia Zhi complained that he was worried: "The big one has a story every day, and a few people can't read it." The little one is fine now, but it looks like he's a naughty one in the future, and he can't let me worry. ”
The sisters all said that their children, to sum up, the boys are naughty and uneasy, but the girls are very cute, and they are intimate little padded jackets.
Then, they talked about life in Beijing. After all, it was a very different world. Xia Zhi invited Sun Lan'er, Layue and Crescent Moon to the capital.
Sun Lan'er smiled shyly and said that she couldn't get out, and the family couldn't do without her. Although Xia Qiao and her husband and wife were affectionate, taught her to read and write, and were willing to take her with them when they went out. But Sun Lan'er never refused to be pampered and arrogant, but took a step back, preferring to only serve her mother-in-law at home, and then take care of and be filial to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.
Speaking of which, when the summer solstice was in Fucheng, Sun Lan'er could take Sun Lan'er out, and after that, Sun Lan'er rarely went far away. When she has a child, she will be more attentive at home, busy every day, but her heart is very satisfied.
These summer solstices are known. She and Sun Lan'er have been friends since childhood, although they are not sisters, but they get along more closely than the sisters in the family, and now they have added a little respect and pity to Sun Lan'er, so they want to give Sun Lan'er more and more good things.
"You can't leave it. If you really can't do without it, then take it all. Anyway, I don't have anything else there, and there are a few empty houses, and our family can move there and live there. Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Sister Lanzi, after I went to the capital, you haven't been to see me!"
Everything else is easy to say, but Sun Lan'er couldn't resist the last sentence, and she was a little moved when she looked at it.
Mrs. Xia persuaded her beside her: "Sixteen is right. While you're young now, it's not hard to go out. When you get old, you want to change, and your legs and feet are not in charge of you. There is nothing left at home that can't be put down, and there are me, and your third aunt, and some old people. ”
"Then I'll discuss it with his father. Sun Lan'er said. She and Xia Qiao are already old husbands and wives, so they no longer call Xia Qiao's name in front of people, and only refer to the child and his father. This is also the habit of the women of the Zhuang family.
Layue was not reserved about the invitation to the summer solstice, saying that she would take time out of her time with Qian Yue to go to the capital to see and understand.
"If it weren't for my sister, we wouldn't even know where the capital is. By my sister's light, we must not hurry up. ”
"Layue is right. You should all learn from Layue. "Xia Solstice smiled, Layue may not be the richest among the sisters, but it is definitely the most worry-free.
Layue and Qian Yuelai got married, and the Qian family, as promised when they got married, bought a house for the two of them in Linshui Town. Layue was in charge of the house when she got married, she didn't have to serve her in-laws, and she didn't have to get along with her sisters-in-law, even if she was free, she went back to her parents' house, which was no different from before she got married.
But Layue is also very polite, and she goes to her mother-in-law's house during the New Year's holidays, and she usually doesn't forget to let people take it to her mother-in-law's house when she has good things, so although she is not together, everyone in her mother-in-law's family praises her. When it was time to give birth to children, her mother-in-law also came to take care of her, but it was still the confinement that Aunt Xia served her, and most of the two children were brought up by Aunt Xia San.
Layue is a happy little woman, even the summer solstice is a little envious of her.
It is precisely because of happiness that Layue is more and more cheerful, and sometimes she is childish when she speaks and acts.
"You haven't been out of the door so far, and when the time comes, I will let people arrange it, and you will follow Tian Kuo's delivery convoy to ensure that everything is properly arranged, and everyone can rest assured. ”
After a while, the summer solstice and the wax moon have already discussed the details of entering Beijing, and only a specific date is needed.
"You two sisters are still the same as when you were children, saying that one is one out. Mrs. Xia said with a smile beside her.
"Milk, we're in front of you, isn't that still the same as when we were children. Xia Zhi and Layue both said with a smile, amusing Mrs. Xia again.
Xia Zhi asked Yue'er again: "Sister, I have written to you several times." My brother-in-law is gone, but you won't go with you. ”
Yue'er was a little embarrassed, she didn't visit her in person when she was in the capital for a few years in the summer solstice. It's not that the crescent moon doesn't miss the summer solstice.
"I can't get out of it, it's all for a reason, you know. ”
"Da Yue'er is a kind child. Mrs. Jiugu didn't support her in vain. Mrs. Xia sighed and said.
Needless to say, the crescent moon is still based on Mrs. Jiugu.
Everyone inevitably talked about Mrs. Jiugu again.
Xia Zhi made a fuss and withdrew from the marriage, and Mrs. Jiugu vowed that she would not marry Liu Juren either. In the end, Xia Zhi did not withdraw from the marriage, and Mrs. Jiugu also became a relative to Liu Juren in February of that year as agreed.
After Mrs. Jiugu got married, she stayed in Liu's mansion for two months, and then returned to Fucheng with Liu Juren and his wife.
Mrs. Jiugu and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the crescent moon naturally get along. After that, the crescent moon child became pregnant and gave birth, and naturally she could not go to the capital during this period. After that, Mrs. Jiugu also became pregnant. This is a great event in both the Liu family and the Tian family, and Yueya Er can't even take care of her own children, and only serves Mrs. Jiugu with all her heart.
As a result, it was unfortunate, Mrs. Jiugu's body was weak after all, and she was a few years older, because everyone took care of her, although she gave birth to a child, she was weak in the womb, and she was born before the full moon.
Mrs. Jiugu was sad that she couldn't eat or sleep, and Yue'er took care of her undressed, and then continued to condition her body for Mrs. Jiugu.
These things are not worried about others to do, so they have to do it themselves.
After two years of recuperation, Mrs. Jiugu became pregnant again. The crescent moon was even happier than Mrs. Jiugu. But this time, Mrs. Jiugu failed to give birth to a child, and she was four months pregnant.
Mrs. Jiugu was hurt and injured, and Yueya'er was also sad, and she took good care of Mrs. Jiugu.
During this period, Liu Juren's father and son both went to the capital. Mrs. Jiugu couldn't go because she was not in good health, and Yueya'er couldn't go because she was taking care of Mrs. Jiugu.
Up to now, Mrs. Jiugu has thought about it herself, and she no longer expects that she will be able to have children, but the crescent moon is still thinking about it.
"I think Jiugu is such a good person, not to mention having both children in this life, at least he can have a biological flesh and blood, so that this life will be in vain. As she spoke, she became sad for Mrs. Jiugu.
Xia Zhi and the others sighed, and could only comfort the crescent moon.
"Although Jiugu has no biological flesh and blood, she is not worse than others. Don't talk about others, just say that you and your brother-in-law don't look like the biological children of Jiugu. Needless to say, when Jiu Gu was here, you were there to serve you closely. Even after a hundred years, you can still neglect her aftermath!"
Even the children of their own children, and those who are not filial. Otherwise, no one would have scolded their children for being debt collectors.
"That being said, I'm just sad for Jiugu, God has no eyes. The crescent moon said.
Xia Zhi secretly sighed that the crescent moon's heart was too solid.
However, there are benefits to heartfulness. Although Mrs. Jiugu pities the poor and the weak, she does not take care of everyone wholeheartedly. The reason why Mrs. Jiugu attaches so much importance to the crescent moon is also because she can see the sincerity and solidity of the crescent moon.
"Aunt Jiu has seen it herself, Sister Crescent Moon, you want to open it too. If you can't think about it, Jiugu can see it, but she won't feel comfortable provoking her. "The summer solstice persuades the crescent moon.
"Really?" crescent moon was taken aback.
Xia Zhi nodded seriously: "Of course, what a smart person Jiugu is, how much she knows you, don't you know yet?"
The crescent moon hesitated: "Then I'll ...... back"
"Man's destiny is predestined. Mrs. Xia also persuaded Yueya'er, "Mrs. Jiugu is such a good person, God will not treat her badly." I have treated her badly in this matter, and I will definitely make up for it in other places. Mrs. Jiugu's happy days are still to come. ”
was said by everyone, and the crescent moon was a little convinced.
"Jiugu's body is better, and when the spring comes, you will all come to Beijing to live for a few days and relax. "Xia Solstice said to the crescent moon.
The knots in Yue'er's heart were unraveled a little, and she also smiled: "A few days ago, Jiu Gu said when she would go out for a walk, and she wanted to go to Jiangnan to have a look." ”
"That's all easy. Mr. Liu is either in high school this year, or in an official position, he can go wherever he wants. …… You and your brother-in-law should follow, right?"
"Wherever Jiugu goes, we will follow. Crescent Moon said with a smile.
"I heard that Aunt Jiu dotes on her grandson very much, sister, you have to take care of it. Xia Zhi said again.
Yueya smiled and said that Mrs. Jiugu did not dote on children, and sometimes she was stricter than her.
There are several sisters, but she is the only one who did not bring children. One son stayed with Mrs. Jiugu. Old man Xia has a big birthday, and Mrs. Jiugu will also come to pay respects, and then bring the child over.
Mrs. Jiugu has no children of her own, and she regards the crescent moon more and more as her own, and loves the crescent moon child even more, and has always brought it up in person.
"Jiugu has it, it's better than me. Jiugu is more talented and learned, no worse than my father-in-law, and the two children follow their grandmother, which is better than following me and his father. ”
Although Mrs. Jiugu thinks about the child's affairs, her motherhood is overflowing, and the children born to the crescent moon are like her own. In fact, she is actually a bit domineering with her little grandson. Fortunately, the crescent moon is gentle and obedient, never careless, the family is very happy, and the ninth aunt has no dislike for the crescent moon at all.
As she spoke, the nurse hugged the little milk baby and looked for the summer solstice. The little milk baby just slept and woke up to find that her brothers and sisters were not there, so she looked for her mother.
Xia Zhi hugged the little milk baby and asked Li Xia where he went.
Li Xia doesn't pay attention to holding his grandson or his son, he is free to take care of the children like Xia Zhi, so the children are very close to him.
Li Xia, Liu Fengcai, Xiao Heiyuer, Xiao Shuer, and Xiao Xia Lin went out to play with a group of little babies, and of course Uncle Xia, Xia Qiao and others were accompanied.
The summer solstice didn't ask them where they went to play, but they were just in the loop, and the farther was into the mountains to hunt.
"It's all your uncle. Mrs. Xia said, "How old a person is, he still spoils the children like when he was a child." ”
"Milk, don't say that. Xia Zhi smiled, "Including our family, they are all closest to their little grandfather." With a little grandfather, I can lose my parents. ”
Sun Lan'er and Layue also said that their children were closest to the little black fish.
Mrs. Xia disagreed: "That dares." You don't let them play, he takes them to play. Children are like that. ”
Everyone laughed.
"My second uncle hasn't come back yet?" Xia Zhi asked.
The big guys all came to pay homage to Old Man Xia, but Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia were not at home, and there was no one in the family now.
Old Lady Xia's expression faded.
