Chapter 85: The Battle for Seats

Mrs. Xia heard it on the side and hurried over. Pen~fun~Ge www.biquge.info she smiled and told May: "Those bowls don't need to be washed." Rest, May. You don't need to do any of this. ”

Layue came over quickly and took the bowls from May's hands. "Sister May, go home and rest. I'll wash these dishes. ”

One by two, they are heading towards the summer solstice. And as soon as the summer solstice came, he sat on the kang and waited for dinner. She helped with the work for half a day, but no one let her. said that he didn't want her to work, but also let her go home and rest.

May was indignant, but she was reluctant to leave, so she had to be cheeky and still rush to work.

All the meals were served on the table, and there was wine in front of Old Man Xia and Changsheng. Aunt Xia and Layue cleaned up in the hall, and asked Mrs. Xia to hurry up to the table to eat.

I'm waiting for Mrs. Xia to come to the table before starting the meal.

Mrs. Xia, her third daughter-in-law and Layue are not polite. May saw that it was cheap, so she helped Mrs. Xia to go to the house. "Milk, hurry up and serve the table, my aunt, as well as my elder brother and pearl sister are waiting for you. ”

Saying this, she had a plan in her heart. For today's meal, Old Man Xia didn't plan to let his sons come as escorts, so he only called a summer solstice. Among the granddaughters of the Xia family, she is the oldest. If there is a seat for the summer solstice, there should be a place for her. Even if Old Man Xia didn't have this heart, she wouldn't leave, and helped Mrs. Xia to the table, could Old Man Xia pull down his face and drive her away.

If Old Man Xia doesn't pick her up, she will be able to stay.

In May, Mrs. Xia felt quite embarrassed. At this time, Layue suddenly walked in. She grabbed May: "Sister May, we don't need your help." You have to work, you come out with me. ”

Layue couldn't help but say, so she pulled out May.

Mrs. Xia breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the kang.

Xia Zhi saw all this in his eyes on the kang and laughed secretly. It's rare that the little girl in Layue is spicy today. The so-called clay people also have a dirty nature, Layue has lost too many times in May, and this time it is considered to have moved back to a city.

May over there was pulled out by Layue, and when he arrived at the hall, he pulled down his face. She can't go up to this dinner table, and naturally she won't continue to stay in the hall to work with Aunt Xia and Layue. She snorted coldly and shook her hand back to the east wing.

The people at the table in the room were not affected by this, and the big guy chatted while eating.

Old Man Xia asked Aunt Xia: "Can't you stay for a few more days, or you can leave Changsheng and Pearl for a few days." ”

"Dad, I really can't live. Aunt Xia replied with a smile, "It took me a lot of effort to spare these two days." …… There is also Changsheng to help in the shop. …… Pearl is still young, and she can't live without me. ”

It turned out that Aunt Xia said that she could only stay at her mother's house for one night, and she would go back tomorrow.

In fact, Changsheng really can't stay, he can already help Uncle Guo. But Pearl is an idler, and she should be able to stay. But she would never stay.

Pearl doesn't like the countryside and doesn't like to live in her grandmother's house. This is no secret in the Xia family. In the past, when there were no pearls, Aunt Xia could stay for a few days when she came back. Since I had a pearl, I stayed at my mother's house for one night at most.

When Pearl is not sensible, she just cries, and she doesn't cry when she leaves the Xia family. When she grows up, she is sensible, she can speak, and she doesn't cry anymore, but she still doesn't want to stay at her grandmother's house longer.

In her own words, it's that the countryside is not used to living.

Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo doted on this little girl very much, and she had to follow her like this.

If you don't want to live longer with your mother, it will be even more impossible to let her stay by herself.

"Grandpa, grandma, you can take my uncle and go to my house for a few days. Changsheng drank a glass of wine with Old Man Xia, and then said with a smile.

This sentence came out of his mouth, which made Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia listen to it, but it made the old couple happy more than it came out of Aunt Xia's mouth. Moreover, what Changsheng said was quite sincere, not polite.

"I'm old, I'm not going anywhere. To tell you the truth, I really can't get used to living in your city. Changsheng, if you have this heart, grandpa will be satisfied. Old Man Xia was happy, and then said to Old Mrs. Xia, "Otherwise, you will go and live with your daughter for a few days." You both see each other all year round. ”

How could Mrs. Xia leave Mrs. Xia behind, and besides, she didn't live in the usual girl's house.

"Mother, why don't you go back with me. We're busy, and you can help me take care of the pearls. Aunt Xia said.

Mrs. Xia didn't speak. Pearl is actually not close to her grandmother, and besides, the Guo family has servants to serve, and Pearl doesn't need her to take care of it. She asked Aunt Xia to eat vegetables: "Eat more, you love to eat dry tofu at home." Tomorrow, when you leave, I'll get you a few pounds. ”

After eating, it was still Aunt Xia and Layue who helped clean up. Xia Zhi wanted a helper, but Mrs. Xia didn't let her, so she asked her to accompany Aunt Xia.

"Have you seen your eldest brother these days?" asked Aunt Xia.

"Nope. Big brother hasn't been to us. A few days ago, I sent Changsheng to deliver a dish to his uncle. The eldest brother is probably busy, and he is going to open a county test these days. Aunt Xia replied.

Changsheng hurriedly followed and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I saw my uncle that day, and his face was quite fresh and fine. ”

"Well, then I'm relieved. Old Man Xia nodded, he didn't tell Aunt Xia and Changsheng, he was relieved that everything was fine with Xia Xiucai, he was relieved that Xia Xiucai didn't dare to disobey his words after all, and didn't borrow money from Aunt Xia.

Old Man Xia and Aunt Xia chatted about some family life. Changsheng talked to the little black fish and Xia Solstice. "Sixteen, I read what you wrote. It's very well written. ”

"Brother Changsheng, you're not laughing at me, are you. It didn't take long for me to learn to write, and I really can't write. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

"You've been learning for a short time, so that's good enough. If you had studied earlier, you would have had a good gentleman, and now you are better than anyone else. "Changsheng's words are quite sincere.

"Then I can't write well?" said the little black fish.

"My uncle also writes well. Changsheng laughed, "Uncle, I heard my grandfather and grandmother say that you will go to school next year." ”

"Hmm. The little black fish nodded.

Aunt Xia turned her head at this time: "Sixteen is smart with her father." Xiaolong is also smart, but he is playful. After going to school, it would be nice to have a husband in charge. ”

"Fourth sister, have you learned to read and write with your uncle?" Although Pearl doesn't like to talk, she is also a little curious, so she asked Xia Solstice in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's not difficult. Pearl, haven't you learned?" Xia Zhi glanced at Pearl.

"My brother just needs to learn. It's useless for us to learn. And, I think it's weirdly difficult. Pearl said, and looked at Xia Zhi's hand, "Fourth sister, have you learned needlework?"

"Your fourth sister can do anything. You should also learn from your fourth sister. Aunt Xia said to her daughter lovingly.

"Fourth sister, will you show me what you have made?" Pearl continued.

"Okay. Xia Zhi went back and brought his half-sewn purse to the pearl.

Pearl held the purse in her hand and looked at it for a long time. Aunt Xia smiled beside her, took the purse and looked at it, she was full of praise for Xia Zhi, and said to her daughter: "Now you can take it." ”

Pearl didn't speak, and the expression on her face was not very happy.

"I'm older than Pearl, and Pearl's age must be better than what I did. Xia Zhi said with a smile. Moreover, she is a skill to make a living, but Guo Pearl learns this as a pastime and decorates the faΓ§ade.

She didn't say the rest of the story.

Guo Pearl felt that what Xia Zhi said was very right, and the look on her face looked much better.

Aunt Xia smiled and handed the purse back into Xia Zhi's hand.

Xia Zhi talked to Aunt Xia again, and then went back to the front yard.

Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia asked her to come back for dinner in the evening, and she also agreed, planning to come over early to help when the time comes. Xia Zhi came out of the backyard, turned his head to look, and saw that Old Man Xia had also come out with Changsheng and Little Black Fish.

Aunt Xia rarely comes back, and she will definitely have some considerate words to say to Mrs. Xia.

Because when he saw them come out, the summer solstice waited and waited.

"Master, uncle, elder brother, where are you going?"

"Take Changsheng up to the ground to have a look. Sixteen, will you go too?" replied the little black fish.

"Well," Xia Zhi thought about it, she didn't have anything to do now, so she nodded, "Okay, I'll go too." ”

The little black fish was very happy, and walked over and asked Xia Zhi to hold his hand. Changsheng felt quite fresh when he looked at it. A few people happily walked in front, and Daqing followed behind.

Walking to the field, Old Man Xia told Changsheng about the things in the field, what is the rain this year, what is the expected harvest, etc. Changsheng didn't have a field at home, so he naturally hadn't planted a field, but he listened to it with relish. If he is not interested, but simply out of politeness, then Xia Zhi expressed admiration for him.

The little black fish is bouncing around, chasing grasshoppers for a while, and playing with Daqing for a while. Of all these people, he was the happiest.

Old Man Xia took Changsheng to see the wheat field at home. This year's wheat is growing well, and it should be a good harvest year. Old Man Xia was very happy. The wheat field of Xia Zhi's family is next to Old Man Xia's, and then it is the second and third uncles of Xia's house.

Old Man Xia looked at the ground, and then walked into the ridges, and when he came out, his face was a little unhappy.

"Your second uncle's land is going to be wasted. The grass hoe at the head of the field is clean, and the big grass in it is as tall as wheat!" Old Man Xia scolded in a low voice, "He thought he was planting for me, so foolish!"

Because he found that there was grass in the field of Second Uncle Xia's house, Old Man Xia didn't have the heart to continue to take the children to watch in the field, so everyone turned back. Halfway through, I met May and July.

Sister May and July cleaned up neatly, and one of them carried a basket in his hand, and it seemed that he had gone down to the field to dig wild vegetables.

"Master, why are you going back in a while?" May came over, greeted Old Man Xia with a smile, and then smiled at Changsheng, "Brother Changsheng is also here? ”

Changsheng smiled and said it was okay.

"Don't look at Brother Changsheng as a person from the city, but he is not squeamish at all. "May said again.

Changsheng laughed with him, he didn't dare to look at May, looked left and right, and subconsciously hid behind Old Man Xia.

"Are you digging vegetables in the field?" Old Man Xia interrupted May and asked her, "What about your father, are you at home?"

"At home, no, not at home. May didn't know why Old Man Xia asked this, but seeing that Old Man Xia's face was not very good, he was careful when he answered, "My father and mother went to buy vegetables." ”

"Go, call them back. Tell them to get down to the ground and pull the weeds. Old Man Xia instructed with a calm face, "The grass in the field is tall, and I still have the heart to buy vegetables." There is no crop man at all!"

When Old Man Xia started his temper, he was still a little afraid in May and July. May hurriedly pushed July and asked her to go back and tell Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia quickly.

July was a little reluctant.

May turned her back to Changsheng and glared at July fiercely: "If you want to go or not, don't let me say it twice!" and then gave July a look.

July turned around and walked briskly.

In May, he accompanied Old Man Xia and Guo Changsheng and them, and slowly walked back.

"Elder Brother ......"

As soon as May spoke, the little black fish glanced at the basket in her hand: "May, you don't dig vegetables." What are you doing with us?"

May's basket was still empty, and she really couldn't answer when she was asked by Little Black Fish. At this time, her cheekiness helped her. "Uncle, I'm not busy digging vegetables, I'll accompany you back. ”

Then, she said to Old Man Xia: "Master, my father said, my aunt is back, and I will cook at my house at night, and let my aunt, Brother Changsheng and Sister Pearl come to my house to eat." "Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia bought vegetables just to invite Aunt Xia to dinner.

"Oh?" Old Man Xia was very surprised, he glanced at May with confusion, and didn't say anything.

Over the years, Second Uncle Xia has never invited Aunt Xia. It can be said that Lao Xia's family does not have this rule. Second Uncle Xia is not a very hospitable and generous person. Therefore, Old Man Xia didn't feel happy when he heard May say that her family was going to have a treat, he suspected that Second Uncle Xia didn't have something to ask Aunt Xia, or he wanted to get some other moths. In short, it shouldn't be good.

I have to say that Old Man Xia still knows his son very well.

"We won't bother my second uncle's family. Changsheng heard it next to him, and excused himself with a smile.

"Brother Changsheng, what are you still polite to me? We're not outsiders!" May said with an immediate giggle.

Not again!

Xia Zhi seems to be allergic to this kind of laughter in May, and when she hears it, she feels goosebumps on her body.

The little black fish also looked at May suspiciously, and then he called Xia Zhi aside and bit his ear with Xia Zhi: "What is she going to do in May, why don't I look wrong!"

As May walked, she came to Changsheng's side. Changsheng squeezed to Old Man Xia's side. Seeing that Old Man Xia was about to be squeezed into the field, they were still unconscious.

In the end, it was Old Man Xia who found out by himself, because he had already stepped on one foot in the ridge. He turned his head to look at his eldest grandson a little strangely: "Changsheng, take a good walk." ”
