I thought of Aunt Tuoxia, which shows how anxious Tian is. Xia Qiao, the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at Xia Zhi, and saw that Xia Zhi had no reaction, so he wrote on the letter paper one by one.

"Mother, I'm done. Look at it. After writing the letter according to Tian's dictation, Xia Qiao said to Tian.

Because Xia Zhi was beside him, Tian always couldn't believe it, worried that Xia Qiao didn't write as she said. So, she took the letter and looked at it. However, she was illiterate at all, and there was no difference between seeing and not seeing.

Tian pursed his lips and returned the letter to Xia Qiao. "What do I see, I don't know how to read."

"Mother, thanks to you allowing my brother to study for two years, otherwise who will help you write letters now?" Xia Zhi said to Tian with a smile.

Tian's heart was weak, and he immediately felt that there was something in Xia Zhi's words. Obviously saying that he was grateful to her, he was actually complaining that she didn't let Xia Qiao continue to study. Lowering his head, pretending to take the sole of the shoe in his hand, Tian said in a low voice: "Everyone can only come out after taking the test!" If you know a few words and can write and count, then you will be top-notch among our croppers! ”

Xia Qiao lowered his head, but he didn't react, as if he hadn't heard Tian's words. Xia Zhi was a little angry: "Mother, is my brother your own child?" Can't you hope my brother is better? ”

"Say no more, Sixteen." Xia Qiao raised her head and stopped Xia Zhi from continuing to speak.

Xia Zhi looked at Tian's family, and then at Xia Qiao, sighed secretly, and finally shut up.

Xia Qiao stopped Xia Zhi, but Tian muttered again, as if he still felt that he was very reasonable. However, Tian didn't say much, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked Xia Qiao to add a few more words to the letter.

"Summer solstice, you also asked your father to greet your aunt and your uncle on your behalf, as well as your immortal brother, and pearls. Didn't you get along well with people during the days you lived in Fucheng! Tian said to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi didn't think that Tian would be such a caring person. Tian said this, there must be a purpose, and this purpose should be the present, not far away.

When you think about it, the answer is simple.

Tian seems to have always felt that Aunt Xia has taken a fancy to her and wants her to be Changsheng's daughter-in-law. Therefore, Tian wants to remind Aunt Xia of her relationship with her own family, and urge Aunt Xia to help find her mother-in-law's house for the eldest girl and the second girl?

"No, you don't." Xia Zhi immediately said, "Last time I met someone from Fucheng in the town, I asked him to bring it to my aunt." Writing a letter to my father, it is not appropriate to write this. ”

"Why isn't that appropriate?" Tian was very dissatisfied, and glanced at Xia Zhi deeply, feeling that Xia Zhi was quite thoughtful. Xia Zhi can find a rich in-law, and Tian is very happy. But she hoped that Xia Zhi'er's heart and eyes could be used to help her, rather than guarding against her and dealing with her.

Thinking so in his heart, Tian said in his mouth: "If you don't need it, don't use it." "The key is to let Xia Xiucai entrust people, and Xia Zhi's sentence can be added or not. Tian didn't want to argue with Xia Zhi on this matter, and it would be unpleasant.

After Xia Qiao wrote the letter, Tian told him to send the letter to Lao Gui's house. "He'll go to Fucheng tomorrow, and he'll bring the letter to us."

Xia Qiao agreed, and while Tian was going out, he asked Xia Zhi in a low voice: "Sixteen, don't you give that Li Xia a word, greeting others?" ”

Li Xia is good friends with Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish, and he has helped them a lot. Li Shanchang is also very good about the summer solstice. These summer solstices have been told to Xia Qiao one after another.

It's rare that Xia Qiao still thought of this, and he also knew that he was hiding it from the Tian family.

Xia Zhi smiled and shook his head: "No need." ”

If she wanted to greet Li Xia, she would write a letter to Li Xia directly and let her enter the city, and she didn't need to attach it to Xia Xiucai's letter at all. However, Xia Qiao mentioned Li Xia, but Xia Zhi thought that Li Xia should have finished the college exam by now, and he didn't know what the results were.

Xia Qiao sealed the envelope and said to Xia Zhi: "My mother just told me that she wanted to give some wheat to the backer. "Xia Qiao doesn't say anything about his grandfather's house now, and he usually refers to it as a backer.

"I told you, but I didn't say yes." Xia Zhi immediately said, "Brother, you didn't nod." ”

Xia Qiao's movements paused. "I know you didn't say yes, and I didn't nod." In fact, Xia Qiao is still a little soft-hearted. It's one thing to not be able to get close to Old Man Tian's family, but in terms of money, Xia Qiao looks at it very lightly. Tian was pitiful to him, and he really wanted to nod at that time.

A bag of wheat should be confiscated so much.

However, when Tian told him, he also mentioned the summer solstice, saying that the summer solstice was hard-hearted, and he collected so much wheat that he refused to give his grandmother a few catties.

Although Xia Qiao was soft-hearted, he couldn't nod his head again when Xia Zhi had already refused.

What did that become. He has done a good job, and Tian has to feel that he is reasonable, and he thinks that the summer solstice is not good. Wheat is a trivial matter, but he cannot fall into the summer and become unjust.

Besides, the brothers and sisters have discussed it, and they must be united.

Xia Qiao's demeanor and tone were not unusual, and he didn't bother much about this matter. But as soon as he fingered, he was seen in the eyes by the summer solstice.

What kind of temper his eldest brother is, Xia Zhi knows very well.

"What I told my mother is clear, don't say that there is no pound of wheat, and the wheat stalk will not give them one. From now on, we will not have this relative. Just our father's two taels of silver a month, the two of them love to spend what they want, and they are sent to the backer, and the two of them drink the northwest wind, and I don't care. But in my hands, they don't want to go with a single thorn. ”

It's not a matter of things and objects, it's a matter of attitude and position.

"I see." Xia Qiao nodded, and after sealing the envelope, he hesitated for a moment, but still discussed with Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, if I sell wheat, can I also buy some pens and paper......

Xia Zhi was amused by Xia Qiao's cautious appearance.

"Brother, don't wait to sell wheat. I'll have a ready-made one to buy, and if you want to use it, just take it with me. So Xia Qiao still likes to read and write.

Seeing that Xia Qiao agreed a little embarrassed, and then hurried to deliver the letter, Xia Zhi sat on the edge of the kang and sighed for a long time.

It is said that Xia Qiao stopped going to school of his own free will. Actually, it's the same as Da Yue'er being sold out of voluntariness. Where did Xia Qiao want to, but he was forced by the Tian family.

Tian's coercion ~ coercion method is not naked ~ naked violence, but the kidnapping of family affection and morality, it is a soft knife, asking them to nod their heads and walk up to the sacrificial platform by themselves.

What is Xia Qiao's psychology that has kept suppressing himself and refusing to show his desire to study? It certainly wasn't for himself. Xia Qiao has always been thinking about others. For example, when she bought so many pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, Xia Qiao didn't touch it at all, because she bought it with her own money, but he had already given up his right to read and write?

Such a good man, a good boy!

Xia Zhi was thinking about it, and Tian walked in with the eldest and second girls.

"Your brother sent a letter?" Tian didn't see Xia Qiao, so he asked Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi didn't give Tian a good face, she didn't pay attention to Tian, stood up and walked over from Tian's side.

Tian was inexplicable, watching Xia Zhi drop the curtain and go out, she didn't react to anything. Xia Zhi left like this, Tian felt aggrieved, and could only tell the eldest girl and the second girl.

"You see, you see. She wrestled with me at every turn, and I provoked her to provoke her. Who is big and who is small in this family! It's amazing, it's going to turn the sky upside down! ”

Tian was angry and complained to the eldest girl and the second girl about the summer solstice for a long time, until Xia Qiao came back and said that the letter had been given to the old man, and her mood was better.

"Daqiao, tell me what you want me to do with the summer solstice! These days, I have also been suffering from hardships, she gave me words and called me ~ to work, I didn't have the same knowledge as her. What's wrong with me again! Your second uncle wants to give her to Master Zhang to make a continuation, I see that Master Zhang is old, and there are two children, I don't dare to answer for her. They promised me a lot of money! I'm still sorry for her? You didn't see it, Xia Zhi pulled her face just now, as if I owed her hundreds of times! Tian complained to Xia Qiao.

Xia Qiao listened to Tian's complaints about the summer solstice, and his ears were calloused. When Tian spoke, he responded vaguely.

"Mother, don't worry about it."

That's it, Xia Qiao didn't say much. He stood underground for a while, saw that the eldest girl and the second girl were in the house, and then turned around and went out.

"Mother, I'll go down to the ground and take a look."

"The wheat has been recovered, and there is nothing to see in the field. You're at home, too. Tian said.

"Brother Daqiao, tell me what else you have to do, and Erya and I will help you." The big girl hurriedly said.

"No, you don't." Xia Qiao glanced at the eldest girl quickly, and then withdrew his gaze and said to Tian, "I'll go and see, I have to plant a stubble." ”

After saying this, Xia Qiao left without looking back.

Xia Qiao has been spending less and less time at home lately, and Tian is sometimes aware of this. But she didn't think much about it, she just felt that Xia Qiao didn't talk to her much anymore, and she wasn't as obedient and considerate to her as she used to be.

As soon as Xia Qiao left like this, Tian felt a little lost in his heart. However, not all of her loss comes from Xia Qiao, a large part of it is because of the summer solstice.

The eldest girl's face was also full of loss, and she slowly retracted her gaze when she watched Xia Qiao's back disappear.

Tian didn't notice the strangeness of the eldest girl. Er Ya has been looking at the eldest girl. Seeing that the eldest girl retracted her gaze and lowered her head, the second girl gently grabbed ~ the eldest girl's hand.

The eldest girl turned her head to look at Erya. As soon as the two sisters made eye contact, they didn't need words, they understood each other's minds.

After Xia Zhi broke the curtain and left, he first went to the West House to take a look at Sun Lan'er. Sun Lan'er seemed to be tired and slept very hard. The summer solstice did not alarm Sun Lan'er, that is, it was here that Sun Lan'er could sleep soundly.

Leaving Westinghouse, the summer solstice will come to the backyard.

Dog days are the hottest time in Beizhen Mansion, and it is also the time when the food of the Zhuang family is extremely rich. All kinds of fresh vegetables came down. As soon as you enter the backyard, it is full of greenery.

Of course, now there is also a livestock shed in the mezzanine, and in addition to the fragrance of various vegetables and vegetables, there is also a faint smell of big animals in the yard. Not annoying, more of a light scent of grass.

Old Man Xia and Uncle Xia are both very diligent and clean people, and the livestock shed is cleaned up every day, and they often brush the big green mules. If it's someone who doesn't pay much attention, the smell is terrible.

Xia Zhi entered the hall, and through the curtain of the back door, he saw that Mrs. Xia seemed to be washing something by the well in the backyard. Xia Zhi didn't go into the house, but went straight through the hall and into the backyard.

Old man Xia's backyard is divided into two parts.

In addition to a well, some flowers and plants were planted, and then a peach tree was planted in the east and a jujube tree in the west.

The peach tree is still young, but the jujube tree is very old, and it is said that it is older than Uncle Xia's.

Now the jujube trees are blooming, and the peach trees are bearing a lot of fruit.

This peach tree is a variety that has been bought from outside, and the peaches it bears are large and sweet, not comparable to the local peaches.

Xia Zhi walked through the backyard, and Mrs. Xia turned her head and smiled when she heard the movement.

"Sixteen, you're just in time. Soon, I'll have to ask you to call you. ”

I also saw it at this time on the summer solstice, and Mrs. Xia was washing melons. This season, melons are just eaten.

"Your aunt just sent it." Mrs. Xia told Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi walked over and squatted down~ to help Mrs. Xia wash the melons. The melons sent by Mrs. Wu are still two varieties, not big in size, one is dark green with patterns, and the other is white and yellow.

These two are called melons in Beizhen Province, and the taste is similar, the green is crisp and the white is soft. Wash it and eat it without peeling it.

The grandparents and grandchildren chatted while washing the melons. Mrs. Xia said that Mr. Xia asked people to be invited, and the two brothers in the backstreet broke up, and Mr. Xia went to mediate and make peace, and the common name of Beizhen Mansion is to give people to do it.

If there is something that the dealer has to solve by himself, he will invite someone to help mediate and solve it.

Old Man Xia is also highly respected in Daxingzhuang, and almost every family will invite him when there is something.

"It's not that as soon as the wheat is withdrawn, he can't be idle. That brother is sixteen, you know ......" Mrs. Xia told Xia Zhi in a balabala, which probably means that the two brothers are quite confused, and their parents are also a little confused. The two brothers broke up and made a few moves.

It must be thankless to meddle in this matter. Many people helped to make peace, but in the end, they didn't settle down, so they refused to go.

"Just you~ Master, people came to invite him, said a few good words to him, and he slipped away!" Mrs. Xia didn't complain much about these words to Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San, but she just felt that she was very good at talking to Xia Zhi.

Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia are good at everything, but they are too honest and a little wooden, and they are not very good nagging objects.

And chatting with Xia Zhi, without Xia Zhi saying anything, Mrs. Xia felt a lot better.

"Who made my father warm-hearted!" Xia Zhi is sometimes speechless for Old Man Xia's particularly nosy temper. "Milk, don't worry. This man has a rod and scale in his heart, even if he doesn't say it. What kind of person my father is, everyone knows it. My grandfather didn't want them to be grateful. ”
