Chapter 230: Visit
"Li Xia, you just use this set of futon, it's nothing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Xia Zhi laughed and said that this was Mrs. Xia's dowry. "It's my milk's heart, and no one has ever used this set of bedding at home. ā
The Xia family felt that Li Xia was already very wronged by such conditions at home, and would never let him use the bedding that everyone had used.
"You don't stop me either. Uncle said he was going to cover me, sixteen, as soon as I arrived at your house, you started to bully me. Li Xia said aggrievedly.
"You don't understand that. That's for your own good. Xia Zhi smiled mysteriously, and then deliberately lowered his voice to tell Li Xia, "My grandmother said that sleeping on this set of bedding is good for you and good for your future." ā
Xia Zhi smiled like this, in this way, Li Xia touched his chin and pondered it very seriously for a while, and finally figured out some taste. The dowry of the older generation of the big red marriage, plus the pattern of pomegranate hundred seeds embroidered on it.
Well, that's a good sign.
Very good, Li Xia decided not to dwell on this matter, he wanted to accept this kindness happily, and he didn't care if Xia Zhi was telling the truth just now, or if he deliberately made it up to coax him.
"Thank you for my kindness ~ grandpa ~ grandma. Li Xia hugged his fists towards Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi originally wanted to see more of Li Xia's embarrassment, but he didn't expect him to accept it so quickly, and it seemed that he also accepted it very calmly and happily.
Li Xia's face seems to be a little thicker.
After laughing for a while, after all, everyone has been separated for a short period of time, and there is a lot to say and ask. Li Xia talked about his entrance examination, and said that he had seen Changsheng on the street, and Aunt Xia's family had been doing well for a while. Then, he talked about Xia Xiucai's recent situation.
Xia Xiucai's recent situation, Li Xia has already told Old Man Xia. But with Xia Zhi, there is more content.
Xia Xiucai has not changed much, and as in the past, he teaches students very attentively, and his life is also very simple.
Then, Li Xia asked about the situation after returning home from the summer solstice.
On this topic, there is no need for Xia Zhi to open his mouth at all, the little black fish just said everything to Li Xia. Among them is the matter of Li Xia following Xia Xiucai and Tian to support the mountain.
Li Xia listened very seriously, and the expression on his face was slightly complicated. He secretly looked at Xia Zhi's face, Xia Zhi was very bland, and he didn't seem to take those seriously at all.
Li Xia thought about it and didn't make any comments on this matter.
After saying this, the little black fish told Li Xia a good news, saying that Xia Zhi is now the head of the family.
"I can see it. Li Xia smiled and glanced at Xia Zhi.
This glance was very gentle, and even made Xia Zhi feel a little strange.
But Li Xia quickly retracted his gaze, and he was the same again. He also urged the little black fish to hurry up and continue.
Xiao Heiyuer then talked about cutting wheat, and discussed with Xia Zhi, and led Layue, Xiao Shu'er, and Xiao Xia Lin to clean up Second Uncle Xia.
He was so happy that he even fell into a fart when he was pushed~ squatting, and Master Zhang specially bought something to see Tian's family.
Master Zhang's intentions for the summer solstice were unknown to the young children of the Xia family, including Xiao Heiyuer.
Therefore, the description of the little black fish is very upright, but Li Xia still heard the clues.
Li Xia's eyebrows moved slightly, and his gaze turned to the summer solstice. The inquiring meaning in that gaze was self-evident.
"It's a trivial matter, he also got my father's stick and ran away. Xia Solstice said.
Listening to the ears of the little black fish, it is a straightforward description, but listening to Li Xia's ears, it is a different taste.
The corners of Li Xia's mouth curled up slightly.
"Sixteen also bought all my second brother's wheat. My grandfather said that Sixteen's desire to make money is secondary, mainly for him. I'm afraid that he will feel distressed when he sees my second brother pull all the wheat away for money. In the end, the little black fish brought out feelings in the children's voice.
"Sixteen, then do you have enough money to bring back from Fucheng?" Li Xia immediately thought of this question.
"My grandfather paid for it. Xia Zhi told Li Xia.
"Oh," Li Xia sighed, "Sixteen, if you want money, why don't you let someone give me a letter." By the way, do you want to buy wheat, I will bring some money, I can lend you first. ā
Xia Zhi waved her hand and told Li Xia that she didn't plan to do wheat business this year. One is that she is a little late to start now, and the other is the problem of cost.
Buying and selling grain requires a large amount of capital.
"I have the capital. Li Xia looked at Xia Zhi, "When the time comes, make money, just share it with me." ā
"Then wait a minute, there's always a chance. Li Xia said this, and Xia Zhi didn't say it to death.
"Sixteen, you don't do wheat business, and then you sell food in the bazaar?"
"yes. Xia Zhi smiled. "This business has a small capital, but it doesn't make a lot of money. ā
Speaking of the topic of making money, Xia Zhi thought that they had set up a stall today and hadn't taken stock yet.
"Li Xia, count the money with us. "Summer Solstice invites Li Xia.
"Good. Li Xia nodded immediately, and then got down from the kang, as if he had thought of something, and he couldn't help laughing. "Sixteen, uncle, I remember the first time I saw you, you two were counting money. ā
"That's right. Thinking of the scene when he first met Li Xia, Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile.
ā¦ā¦
In the east room, Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were there, and the money bag was also placed on the kang tip, and no one moved at all. Hearing that Xia Zhi said that she wanted to count the money and make accounts, Mrs. Xia hurriedly put a kang table on the kang and laid a tablecloth on the table.
This is the table where Old Man Xia, Little Black Fish and Xia Zhi write and do their homework, which is very clean, and the tablecloth is specially laid out, naturally because of Li Xia.
Mrs. Xia entertained the guests, which was very considerate and thoughtful.
Xia Zhi called Layue again, and asked the little black fish and Layue to start counting the money. Xia Zhi sharpened the ink again, spread out the account book, and prepared to keep accounts.
Li Xia helped the little black fish count the money.
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia didn't make a move, but they also sat next to them, looking very concerned.
Because all the money they collected was copper money, it took a while for Little Black Fish and Layue to count the money. After summarizing the two, the little black fish picked up the abacus and quickly dialed ~ to get a final number.
Old Man Xia's expression moved slightly, Old Lady Xia raised her eyebrows, and Little Black Fish and Layue were unabashedly smiling.
Xia Zhi recorded all the accounts in the account books, calculating in his heart that if this momentum continues, the capital can be recovered soon, and then he will be able to start making a profit.
Don't look at this kind of small business as if it is inconspicuous, but when you calculate it carefully, it can surprise people. From now on, it is said that the life of the family has been improved, and if it continues to be done for a long time, the money for the few small families to study in the future will be settled.
If you want to say that the only bad thing about this small business is that it is more tired.
However, where in this world is there anything that is not earned. Labor or labor is labor.
"Grandpa, grandma, you can keep this money. After settling the accounts, Xia Zhi said to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, "In the future, I will use the money again." ā
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia exchanged a look, and then shook their heads at Xia Zhi.
"You don't have to put this money with me, you and your uncle can take care of it yourself. ā
"Oh......" Xia Zhi didn't refuse, so he asked Mrs. Xia to help find a big wooden box as a cash box, and put away the money and account books.
This money box is not taken to the front yard on the summer solstice, and is still placed in the backyard.
While cleaning up, Xia Zhi also said: "Next time I catch the market, in addition to fries and fries, I plan to fry some more potato chips, which are just as delicious, and let the big guys have more samples to choose from, and it is estimated that they can attract more guests." ā
"Good, good. Old Man Xia smiled and nodded, he had already planned this business matter, and he listened to Xia Zhi.
"Sixteen, if you want to fry potato chips, let's fry some first. The little black fish said immediately.
"That's a must. Summer Solstice smiled.
"Li Xia, we have a good mouth again. The little black fish got Xia Zhi's reply, and immediately turned his head to tell Li Xia. One big and one small high-fived and celebrated, which made Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia a little dazed.
Li Xia discussed with Xia Zhi again, saying that he didn't know if Tian was at home, and he wanted to go and say hello to Tian.
Only at this time did he bring up such a topic, and Li Xia also understood the affairs of the Xia family very well.
Xia Zhi told Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, the old couple naturally had no objection, Old Man Xia just secretly instructed Xia Zhi not to let the Tian family be too casual in front of Li Xia, say anything that is unfavorable to the Xia family, especially Xia Xiucai, or do something unfavorable to Xia Xiucai.
Of course, Xia Zhi understood Old Man Xia's worries, and nodded solemnly in agreement.
In fact, Old Man Xia didn't know that Li Xia had already known about the Tian family.
Li Xia followed Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to the front yard, and he also brought gifts to Tian. It was not a solemn four-color gift for Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, what Li Xia brought to Tian was just a dim sum box.
Xia Zhi felt that this was very appropriate. Of course, her original intention, Li Xia didn't give anything to Tian, and that was no problem.
Li Xia did this, naturally because of his courtesy.
Xia Zhi led Li Xia Gang into the backyard door of the front yard, Tian didn't know how to hear the movement, and he had already greeted him with a smile.
"Mother, Li Xia has come to see you. Xia Zhi told Tian.
Tian had already changed into her talented lady's outfit, she listened to Xia Zhi's words, but looked at Li Xia one by one. After the introduction of the summer solstice, Li Xia saluted to the Tian family.
Tian Shi hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped him.
"Li Shanchang's son, my father-in-law often mentions it to me. Li Gongzi is really a talent. Tian smiled and talked to Li Xia, and invited Li Xia into the house, "Li Gongzi, please come into the house and talk." ā
Then, she didn't forget to greet the eldest girl and the second girl who came out with her, and asked the two of them to call Li Xia to be Li Gongzi.
The eldest girl and the second girl also put on the new clothes, drawing eyebrows and eyes. In front of Li Xia, both of them looked very restrained, and it seemed that there was no place to put their hands and feet.
However, they listened to Tian's words very much, and they all called Li Gongzi in a mosquito-like voice.
About the eldest girl and the second girl, the little black fish forgot to tell Li Xia.
"It's my niece, who came to stay with me for a while. Tian explained like Li Xia, and then invited Li Xia into the house.
If you want to say that the Tian family and the Xia family have anything in common, you must love to be clean.
Xia Zhi's home is the same as the backyard, and it is almost spotlessly clean.
After entering the house, Tian spread a mattress on the kang and let Li Xia sit.
Li Xia called Tian Mrs. Xia, and said that he had brought snacks and said hello to Tian. The dim sum box was brought by Xia Zhi, and after listening to what Li Xia said, she put the dim sum box on the cabinet and didn't get it to Tian's.
Tian glanced at the snack box and said that Li Xia was too polite.
"Xianggong is in the academy, thanks to the mountain chief and Li Gongzi taking care of him everywhere. ā¦ā¦ I went out just now, and when I came back, I knew that Li Gongzi was coming, and I wanted to go over to say hello to Li Gongzi, but I didn't expect Li Gongzi to come first...... I came here, and I brought Eli Lilly, which made me embarrassed to ......."
Then Tian instructed the eldest and second girls: "Hurry up and pour water for Li Gongzi to drink." ā
The eldest girl and the second girl had already prepared, and after listening to Tian's order, they came over and poured a bowl of sour plum soup for Li Xia.
This sour plum soup was naturally prepared for the summer solstice, and Tian Shi took it very easily to entertain guests.
"Mrs. Xia is welcome. Li Xia's attitude towards the Tian family was very polite, but he was not close, and he was not as invisible as in front of the family of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.
Xia Zhi looked at it coldly from the side, and felt that Li Xia, who was now like this, should be the state of his daily hospitality. Polite and polite, but faintly detached.
In the face of such Li Xia, Tian was also very careful.
"Is Li Gongzi passing by, or are you planning to stay for a few days?"
"The backyard is big~grandpa~ grandma~ grandma will stay for me for a few more days. I was also planning to idle for a while, and the view of Daxingzhuang was good. ā
"That's great. Tian immediately said with some exaggeration. The news that Li Xia lives in the backyard is naturally known to her for a long time.
Li Xia didn't drink the sour plum soup brought by the eldest girl, but just smiled and talked to Tian. "Mr. Xia is in Fucheng Academy all the year round, and there are only Mrs. Xia and sixteen brothers and sisters in the family, and Mrs. Xia's is very hard. ā
"It's not hard. Tian said such a modest sentence, after all, it was not out of intention, and then he said, "This is also a helpless thing, as a mother, it is also willing to work for her children." I hope they have a conscience and know the heart of being a mother......"
"Hey......" The little black fish couldn't listen to it anymore, so he laughed deliberately.
Tian glanced at the little black fish quickly, and saw that the little black fish was smiling at her. However, this smile seemed to Tian to be quite ill-intentioned.
Tian originally wanted to follow Li Xia's words and confess her merits, but when she saw the smile of the little black fish, she immediately dispelled this idea.
Li Xia didn't plan to stay here for long, so after a few polite words, he got up and said goodbye.
Tian was reluctant to let Li Xia go like this, but he didn't dare to stay, so he could only send it out in the end.
Sending Li Xia to the door, watching Li Xia return to the backyard, Tian stood for a while before slowly taking the eldest girl and the second girl back to the house.
Then, Tian began to look for Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er. (To be continued.) )
