Tian didn't scold Xia Zhi or count Xia Zhi as she promised Tian Wang, she only said a word to Xia Zhi and let Xia Zhi endure it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What can you do with one less meal, it's not in our own home. Don't upset your grandma and your grandfather!"

Xia Xiucai heard them talking next to him and walked over, so he said: "The child is young and not hungry." ”

"If you're hungry, wait until you get home and eat. Tian got impatient, put down this sentence and walked away.

Xia Xiucai sighed and looked at the three children with some guilt. Xia Zhi was helpless in her heart, she deliberately said those words to Tian Wang's family, not only to see Tian Wang's reaction, but also to see how her father and mother would deal with it.

Tian and Xia Xiucai's handling methods disappointed her, but Xia Zhi was not sad. Tian has always made a lot of progress compared to the past, although this progress is not consciously voluntary by Tian, but most of it is forced by the situation.

And Xia Xiucai, Xia Xiucai is actually a person who can't do anything.

"Dad, don't worry about it. "The summer solstice said.

Xia Qiao also asked Xia Xiucai not to worry: "Dad, we are actually not very hungry. ”

"That's good, that's good. It's not our home after all. Xia Xiucai said a few words to the children, and then went to find Tian. When the Tian clan left, he seemed to be angry, and Xia Xiucai was relieved and planned to persuade the Tian clan.

"Little Shu'er, are you hungry?" Xia Zhi asked his younger brother.

"I'm a little hungry, but I'm used to it. Xiao Shu'er pursed her lips. He used to follow the Tian family to support the mountain, and he couldn't eat dinner. Tian Wang's family secretly made dinner for Uncle Tian and Tian Dabao, he didn't see it. But he also has his solution.

"Sister, let's go up the mountain and steal some fruit trees to eat. Xiao Shu'er said to Xia Solstice in a low voice. The Tian family has a few fruit trees on the mountain, and the little tree knows where it is.

In this season, there are not many ripe fruits on the mountains of Tun'er, and if you want to eat them, that is, some early-ripening plums can still be eaten.

"That thing doesn't care if it's full. Xia Zhi said, "I brought the money, it was given by our grandfather and grandmother, let's go, let's go out to buy something to eat." ”

The little tree cheered, and immediately went out with the summer solstice.

Xia Qiao stood still and didn't move.

"Brother, aren't you going with us?" Xiao Shu'er asked Xia Qiao.

The summer solstice also looked at the summer bridge. Xia Qiao ate Sven, but he didn't eat enough at noon. The fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy is the age when he can eat the poor man, and he must be very hungry now.

"Let's not go. Xia Qiao not only didn't move, but also persuaded his younger brothers and sisters not to go out to buy food. "Don't talk about what you can't buy, let's go out and buy food, so that people can see the joke. ”

"Who's laughing?" Xia Zhi asked.

Xia Qiao opened his mouth and didn't say anything, but a pair of eyes glanced in the direction of the upper room. They came to their grandmother's house as guests, but they couldn't eat enough, and the jokes of the Tian family were naturally the Tian family.

"We don't look good ourselves. Xia Qiao said again.

"I'm hungry and I don't have anything to eat here, so we have to buy it, not steal it. What's not so pretty, it's illegal to eat when you're hungry?" Xia Zhi said disapprovingly. Xia Qiao just thinks too much, and thinks too much for those who don't deserve it.

Originally, it didn't have to be Xia Qiao to go with him, but now Xia Zhi has made up his mind that he must take Xia Qiao to buy something to eat.

"Brother, are you going?" Xia Zhi asked Xia Qiao, "If you don't go, don't worry that Xiao Shu'er and I will go out?"

Of course, Xia Qiao was distressed and worried about his brother and sister, and in the end, the three of them went out together. Xia Zhi was not very familiar with the backer Tun'er, so he asked Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er if they knew if there was a place to sell things in Tunzi.

"This place is different from our village, and it is estimated that there may be people selling things in the temple. Xia Qiao pondered for a moment and said.

In this era, every village has a temple, according to the number of people and the degree of wealth of the village, the temple is large and small, the most is the land temple, of course, there are also Guanyin Temple, Yaowang Temple and so on.

And in every village, where there is a small business, it is generally in front of the temple, and they often simply call it the head of the temple, which means the head of the temple.

Xia Zhi felt that what Xia Qiao said was very reasonable, but they also didn't know where the village temple of Tun'er was. But this question is obviously difficult for the three brothers and sisters.

After leaving Tian's house and walking a short distance, they saw people on the street. Xia Zhi quickly asked where the land temple of Gushantun was located: it was not too far from here, because Gushantun was not big.

Xia Zhi thanked the little boy who showed her the way, and continued to walk forward with Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er. The little boy stood behind for a while, then followed. At first, he fell not far away, but then he saw that the three brothers and sisters saw him but did not resent it, and the little boy's man was older, and finally he simply walked in a row with the three brothers and sisters.

"Are you going to take us there?" Xia Zhi asked him.

"Okay, I'll show you the way. The little boy was immediately much more lively. He jumped in front of the three brothers and sisters, stopped for a while, and asked them, "Are you the young master and young lady of the Daxing Zhuang Xiucai family?"

Xia Zhi was amused by him: "What young master, young lady, we are from Daxingzhuang, come to visit grandma's house." ”

"It's the most eastern, Tian Dabao's house, right?" the little boy asked at once.

It turns out that Tianjiatian Dabao is the most famous, or not the most famous, but the most unique, so it also has the most value as a symbol.

Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes." ”

Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er also talked to the little boy, and the two sides quickly became acquainted. The little boy introduced himself and said that his surname was Tian and his name was Zhuzhu. The Tian family has a surname, if you talk about it, the bolt pillar is the same generation as the summer solstice.

"I know, your family is rich. Zhu Zhu said with a pair of small eyes.

"Who said that?" asked Xia Zhi.

"The big guys all said. If your family has no money, how can you always send money and bring up the days of the stupid ~ Zi Dabao family. After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and looked at Xia Zhi a few embarrassedly, this is when he found that he had leaked his mouth, and said that Tian Dabao was stupid~ Zi Dabao.

Xia Zhi smiled and thought that this kid was talking very interestingly. She deliberately teased the bolt pillar to speak, and before she reached the temple, Xia Zhi had already learned a lot of things from the bolt pillar's mouth.

For example, Old Man Tian is not very popular in the backing mountains. Old man Tian has a unique personality, and he is a brother, no brother, and later added a grandson is stupid ~ son, plus all kinds of other reasons, Old Man Tian's family does not have much contact with people in the same village.

Like Tian Dabao, the eldest girl and the second girl don't have any friends, they are usually in their own homes, and they don't come outside. Old man Tian was very strict with his family, and he didn't allow his family to go outside.

For example, in the eyes of the backers, Xia Xiucai is not only a famous talent, but also a rich man. Because Tian is very pompous every time he comes back, he will buy things for his mother's family in large bags. Although Old Man Tian doesn't have much to do with people, every time he mentions his daughter and uncle, he is very boastful.

The person who came out of the Tian family to have the most contact with people was Uncle Tian. Uncle Tian likes to drink, and he also likes to gamble twice. He told others that Xia Xiucai was not only rich, but also knew very powerful people in Fucheng, and he himself was also very powerful. If anyone dares to bully them, Xia Xiu can send that person into the yamen to eat a lawsuit with just one post.

Not to mention the summer solstice, even Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er were a little speechless. It turned out that their family was like this in the eyes of the people who supported the mountain and Tun'er, and it turned out that the Tian family was such a Tian family.

The bolt pillar is very chatty, and he is familiar with Xia Solstice after a few meetings, and then he will say everything.

"Your grandmother's family has said that they want to set the best daughter-in-law for Dabao, saying that others will look down on Dabao now, and Dabao will be better than anyone else in the future!"

Xia Zhi understood why Old Man Tian wanted so much money from Tian and Xia Xiucai. They not only have to marry a daughter-in-law for Tian Dabao to pass on the lineage, but they also have to pull out a place in the backing mountain and marry the best daughter-in-law for Tian Dabao, so that Tian Dabao will live a better life than other people in the backing mountain.

According to this calculation, the two hundred taels of silver will be less.

Seeing that the brothers and sisters didn't talk much, the bolt also sensed that something was wrong. The kid scratched the back of his head, and then looked at the summer solstice.

Fortunately, there is the Land Temple in front.

The backer is poor, and the land temple is also very small, but it seems that the maintenance and repair are not bad. There are a few big elm trees in front of the land temple, and there are a few people enjoying the shade under the trees, but other than that, there is nothing. However, across the street from the Land Temple, there is a small grocery store.

The grocery store is small, but there is always something to buy. When he heard that they had come to buy food on the summer solstice, he happily led them into the grocery store.

This grocery store only has a façade, and Xia Solstice swept it over at a glance, and he could almost see what was being sold inside. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are poured, and you can buy alcohol. But the only things they can buy and eat are tea noodles, mixed mix, and a home-cooked snack called beef tongue.

It's rare, but it's a bit unexpected for the summer solstice. Xia Zhi took out the money from the money bag, bought half a catty of mixed mix, and bought half a catty of cow tongue, all of which were wrapped up by the shopkeeper. Then she thought about it and bought another half pound of sugar cubes, not even wrapping paper, just maltose cut into small pieces the size of a thumb belly.

The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, and while weighing the sugar cube for Xia Zhi, he also asked Xia Zhi tentatively: "Is it the grandson of the old Tian family in the east of the village?"

"yes. Xia Zhi happily admitted it, and asked the shopkeeper, "How did you guess?"

"It's a guess. You are not from our tunzi, you must be from outside. Who in our Tunzi family has relatives like you, that is, the old Tian family in the east of the village. You are from Daxingzhuang, the children of the old man Xiucai. ”

Xia Zhi smiled, and this time he didn't nod. It seems that their family's popularity in the backer is quite high.

After shopping, the children came out of the grocery store. They didn't go back, and on the idea of the summer solstice, they went to sit under the big elm tree in front of the temple, and ate while enjoying the shade.

The bolt pillar was also left behind by the summer solstice, and he gave him some of the mixed mix and beef tongue to eat. The bolt pillar was embarrassed at first, not to accept the things handed over by Xia Zhi, but in the end, he was told by Xia Zhi and the three of them, so he happily took it, and then sat with Xia Zhi and began to eat.

He told Xia Zhi that he would go back, and he would come back to accompany them later, and then accompany them back to the old man's house, so they couldn't find their way back to the province or something.

"Do you have something to do when you go back now?" Xia Zhi asked.

The bolt scratched the back of his head again: "It's nothing, it's just, it's just ......" He subconsciously looked down at his pocket as he spoke. The snacks given to her by Xia Solstice were all put in his pocket.

Xia Zhi immediately understood: "You still have brothers and sisters at home." Without waiting for the bolt pillar to answer, Xia Solstice divided some mixed wagyu tongue for the bolt, and then she grabbed a handful of sugar cubes and stuffed the bolt directly into her pocket.

The bolt pillar was even more embarrassed, and he refused again and again, saying that he couldn't ask for something as old as the summer solstice.

"If you give it to you, you'll take it, you're welcome. "The summer solstice said.

Xiao Shu'er also asked the bolt pillar to hold the things: "Don't be polite to us, let's play together in the future." ”

The bolt pillar was similar in age to Xiao Shu'er, and after being persuaded by the three brothers and sisters, he took everything and ran home in a puff of smoke.

"In the future, the people in this tunzi should say that we have money. Xia Qiao watched the bolt run away, so he whispered.

"Even if we don't come to buy things, the people in this tunzi will still say something. It's not in us, brother, you didn't listen to what the bolt said, it's all our grandma's reputation for us. Xia Zhi said disapprehantly.

Old man Tian, the reason why they publicized it like this was to put gold on their faces.

I ate another piece of small mix, and I didn't eat it on the summer solstice. She said to Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er, "Brother, Xiao Shu'er, did you understand just now?" Our mother posted this money to our grandmother's family, why hasn't our grandmother's family lived yet?"

Xia Qiao sighed: "Our uncle loves to drink and play with money." ”

"Yes, that's probably the reason. Xia Solstice nodded. There is no land here in the backing mountain, and you can't make much money by planting fruit trees every year.

The three children sat under the tree eating and talking, and there were people from far and near near who were enjoying the shade and people passing by pointing and pointing, as if talking about them. But the voices of these people were very quiet, and no one approached.

Xia Zhi vaguely heard them talking about Old Man Tian, talking about Tian Dabao, and talking about things like damaging Yin Virtue, which made Xia Zhi a little inexplicable.

This will work, and the bolt will come back. He didn't come back alone, he was followed by an old lady. The bolt did not come empty-handed, he carried a basket in his hand.

Walking up to the three of them, the bolt handed over the basket. "The freshly picked plums are quite delicious, so I'll give them to you. ”

The old lady behind the bolt also came over to speak: "You are Laidi's children, right?" (To be continued.) )
