Xia Zhi, Little Black Fish and Li Xia were talking in the small living room in the front yard. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis was deliberately guided by the summer solstice, and Changsheng didn't notice anything unusual. It wasn't until Aunt Xia sent Sister-in-law Liu to look for them, saying that it was time to have dinner, that the three of them went to the backyard to the room.
Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo were already sitting at the dinner table. Pearls are not there.
"Pearl is a little uncomfortable, she didn't eat dinner today. Let's eat ours. Aunt Xia said.
Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish didn't say anything. Changsheng opened his mouth to ask, but looking at Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo, he swallowed the words back. The honest kid guessed what was going on.
Everyone ate in silence for this dinner. Only Uncle Guo asked Changsheng a few words, such as where to send Second Uncle Xia, and who did he meet. Changsheng answered honestly. He didn't encounter anything of concern.
Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo didn't say anything, but occasionally made eye contact, and the husband and wife seemed to have something to say yet, the reason why they had dinner first was because it was past the time for dinner, and there were still Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish.
The children are not hungry, and they are still guests after all.
After eating, Xia Zhi went to the Westinghouse to have a look. Pearl lay on the kang with her back to the door and her head covered. Xia Zhi thought about it, and quietly came out of the Westinghouse again.
The friendship between her and Pearl, Pearl will not listen to her advice. And Pearl was taught a lesson by Aunt Xia like this, and she should not be welcome to disturb her, so Pearl will feel faceless.
All the summer solstice can do is pretend that he doesn't know anything. Naturally, she didn't go to the East House, so she took the little black fish to eat under the grape trellis outside and play with Daqing.
After a while, Changsheng also came out of the upper room. He looked a little depressed, but when he saw the little black fish and Xia Zhi, he still smiled kindly, and asked them if they wanted to play with him.
"There's a night market, I'll take you around. ”
The little black fish was eager and immediately said yes.
Xia Zhi glanced at Changsheng carefully, and there was a gloomy cloud between Changsheng's eyebrows, which should be because he had just said something to Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo.
At this time, can you let him accompany him to the night market?
"Brother Changsheng, why don't we go another day. "The summer solstice said.
Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Xia Zhi's concerned eyes, and he immediately understood. "It's okay, let's go today. We'll go back another day when we're free, anyway, it's close, just go out. I'm going out with the two of you, just to relax. ”
When he said that he was distracted, Xia Zhi no longer refused. The three of them happily walked up the West Market Street.
……
When he went to the landlord's house, the expression on Uncle Guo's face was a little sluggish, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Why didn't you tell me about this!" he looked at Aunt Xia, and there was a sense of reproach in his demeanor and tone.
Aunt Xia frowned slightly, feeling bitter in her heart. Second Uncle Xia wanted to give May to Changsheng as his daughter-in-law, not only to let May be courteous to her, but also to ask Old Man Xia to come forward to propose marriage. Old Man Xia didn't agree, and he should have counted Second Uncle Xia down. As for May's various things about Changsheng, this is something she doesn't want to tell Uncle Guo.
In the final analysis, she still wants to protect the face of her mother's family. She thought that she had already settled the matter, so there was no need to tell Uncle Guo again.
Of course, she can't tell Uncle Guo about this thought.
"I've already figured out what can't happen, so why bother telling you about it again. You don't have enough to worry about these days!" Aunt Xia said.
Uncle Guo thought about it and felt that what Aunt Xia said made sense. Aunt Xia is a capable woman. They have been married for so many years, and Aunt Xia has taken care of many things by herself, which has saved him a lot of worry and reduced a lot of his burden.
When it comes to dealing with certain things, even if he comes forward, it will not be better than Aunt Xia.
In the matter of May and Changsheng, Aunt Xia actually handled it very well. If it weren't for Second Uncle Xia's sudden luck.
Uncle Guo hesitated in his heart, and his face came out. Aunt Xia only glanced at it and understood what he was struggling with.
"Even if what his second uncle said is true, tomorrow they will be developed. Are you willing to give Changsheng this family? Why do you usually talk about his second uncle's family, but I do this more than half because I know that you don't want to!"
Uncle Guo's face was a little sneering. Aunt Xia is telling the truth. He has always looked down on Second Uncle Xia, and usually complains to Aunt Xia.
Moreover, just like Aunt Xia said, even if Second Uncle Xia is immediately developed, is he willing to be in-laws with Second Uncle Xia? Now although he has to think about this answer more, the result seems to be the same.
He didn't want to be in-laws with Second Uncle Xia. Now Second Uncle Xia is just his brother-in-law, and Old Man Xia is in charge, and Aunt Xia can resist it, but he still feels that Second Uncle Xia is difficult. If Second Uncle Xia becomes an immortal father-in-law again, it will only be more difficult, even if Old Man Xia and Aunt Xia are combined, they will not be able to stop Second Uncle Xia.
Moreover, even if Second Uncle Xia is developed, where can he go!
The abacus beads in Uncle Guo's heart crackled for a while, and he thought clearly.
"child, no matter what happens, you should tell me, and let me know the bottom of my heart. You see, today, this, this, I don't have any preparations. ”
"It's no different if you're prepared or not. "Aunt Xia is more decisive than Uncle Guo.
"It's different, it's not the same. Uncle Guo shook his head again and again, "His second uncle is angry with us, which is not good." We have to think of a way to redeem it. Uncle Guo discussed with Aunt Xia that he wanted to hold a banquet at home and invite Second Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia's family to come over for dinner. "Get together well, and you have to come and go often. ”
Aunt Xia sighed softly.
"That's your brother, let's not have a fight. Uncle Guo said again.
"Good. Aunt Xia nodded. She actually understood what Uncle Guo meant, if Second Uncle Xia was still in the countryside, there would be no need for this banquet and frequent visits.
Uncle Guo has his intentions, and Aunt Xia also has her own plans. Whether it is to obey Uncle Guo or to communicate with her mother's family in the future, she still has to repair the relationship with Second Uncle Xia.
"If someone else is immortal, you can go and set the date. Uncle Guo said to Aunt Xia again.
Aunt Xia nodded and agreed, and discussed with Uncle Guo: "We have to find someone to bring a letter to his grandfather." "For Second Uncle Xia's words, Aunt Xia can't fully believe it. That's why she had to find someone to bring a letter to Old Man Xia, on the one hand, to ask Second Uncle Xia what was going on in the city, and on the other hand, to report to Old Man Xia about Second Uncle Xia's situation in Fucheng.
"I'm afraid that the message won't be clear, and it's not good for people to bring this message. "Aunt Xia meant to write a letter to Old Man Xia.
Uncle Guo is also literate and hyphenated, but he thinks that he is not as high as his son, so he said that he would write letters for eternity. He sent someone to call Changsheng, and then he learned that Changsheng had taken Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish to visit the night market.
Uncle Guo wanted to reprimand Changsheng, thinking that he shouldn't take Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish out to play at this time, and should do something serious. But when he raised his eyes and saw Aunt Xia's face, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Aunt Xia said lightly: "I asked him to go." The two children came for a few days, that is, they had a bite to eat with us. We didn't entertain anything. The old couple didn't scratch us, it was the two children in their hearts. Let's chill the hearts of the second elders!"
"How can you do that? It's all up to you, and if you want to spend money, tell me. Uncle Guo hurriedly said.
Aunt Xia breathed a sigh of relief. "People don't have to spend much on us. You see the sixteen in action. We can't let our children compare with the past. ”
Uncle Guo snorted and stopped talking.
After a while, it was said that Changsheng had returned with two children. Aunt Xia said let them come in together. "Xiaolong and Sixteen are both sensible children, and this matter makes them know it. His grandmother and grandfather listened to sixteen. ”
Uncle Guo had no opinion, so he asked Changsheng, Xia Zhi and Little Black Yuer to come to the East House together, Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo said the meaning one by one, and Changsheng wrote.
"Xiaolong, Sixteen, do you have anything to tell your family?" Aunt Xia asked Little Black Fish and Xia Zhi again.
"Sister, brother-in-law," Xiao Heiyuer looked up at Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo, "let our father and mother find someone to send Xiao Yang to his father." ”
Aunt Xia hesitated, although she was very much in favor of sending Xia Yang into the mansion to Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia.
Xiao Heiyu'er immediately said again: "Why don't I go to the second brother and ask him to pick up Xiao Yang." "In short, you can't leave such a young child to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, although Second Uncle Xia and his family have entered the city, it is not that no one takes care of Xia Yang.
Uncle Guo gave Aunt Xia a look, and then said to the little black fish with a smile: "Xiaolong, that's what you say." Your sister and I also feel sorry for the second elder. ”
"As far as I say, I am not afraid to offend them. They didn't do it right!" the little black fish pursed her lips.
"Hmm......" Xia Zhi looked at a few people in the house, and she could guess the concerns of Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo. "Auntie, uncle, uncle, do you think this is okay? I'll go to my dad tomorrow and ask my dad to tell my second uncle about it. ”
Xia Xiu is the eldest brother, and he is the same mother's brother as Uncle Xia. In this case, it is most appropriate for him to come out.
"Sixteen ......" Aunt Xia looked at Xia Zhi, she was really grateful to Xia Zhi.
"Auntie, if you think there's nothing wrong with this, then I'll do it tomorrow. Xia Zhi said with a smile again. "No matter how busy my father is, he has to spare some time for such a big event at home. ”
"Sixteen, this child, I don't owe it to your grandfather and your grandmother to feel sorry for you. Aunt Xia naturally nodded in agreement.
Changsheng's letter is also good, and the summer solstice and the little black fish are added to report safety and greetings to the family. As for the person who carried the letter, it was arranged by Uncle Guo.
Uncle Guo promised that the letter would be delivered to Daxingzhuang tomorrow.
