Chapter 417: Fiction and Reality

Aunt Xia stared at Mrs. Xia sentence by sentence and said that she couldn't wait to eat in the upper room for the first month. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Aunt Xia couldn't even interject next to her.

Now that Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia also have income, there is no need to gnaw on Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia like this. But Second Aunt Xia and Second Uncle Xia have a high degree of consistency on this issue, that is, they can take advantage of as much cheapness as they can.

Mrs. Xia smiled: "Okay, let's pack more when the time comes." ”

Second Aunt Xia was about to speak, but Mrs. Wu came over. Because of the last time Mrs. Wu was a matchmaker for May, Aunt Xia complained a lot about Mrs. Wu in private, and when she saw Mrs. Wu at this time, both of them were a little uncomfortable.

Aunt Xia didn't squeak.

Mrs. Xia was very happy to see Mrs. Wu coming, so she asked Mrs. Wu to sit on the kang.

After a few words of gossip, Mrs. Wu got to the point. She wasn't idle today. "That old Zhang family, my second daughter-in-law came to tell me something this morning. ”

Aunt Xia was about to leave, but when she heard Mrs. Wu talk about Zhangfang's house, she stopped, turned around and sat on the edge of the kang.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Xia asked, "By the way, I remember that the second daughter-in-law's maiden home seems to be not far from Xin'an Town." ”

"Yes, she wouldn't have known. Mrs. Wu nodded, and then told Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, "The old Zhang family is a famous rich family, and someone will say goodbye to that Zhang Fang when he is thirteen years old." It has never been successful, but the old lady of the Zhang family has not taken a fancy to it. I heard that the old lady of the Zhang family wanted to give one of her nieces to her son as a daughter-in-law. ”

"Really?" Aunt Xia couldn't help but ask loudly. She didn't say anything originally, but there was something wrong with her tone, as if she was suspicious of Old Lady Wu.

Mrs. Wu said in her heart that she should not be as knowledgeable as Aunt Xia, and it depends on the face of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia. Moreover, she is an elder and is still old, so she should be more self-contained. So Mrs. Wu didn't show her anger.

"This is also what our second daughter-in-law heard, what is the specific situation, then we have to inquire again. ”

"Ah......" Second Aunt Xia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Then it doesn't have to be true. After speaking, she said hello to Mrs. Wu perfunctorily and turned to leave. Looking at her hurried appearance, it seemed that she was in a hurry to go back and tell May.

Aunt Xia and May, the mother and daughter, May is the backbone.

Because Aunt Xia is gone, everyone has fewer scruples when talking on this topic.

"There is no wind and no waves, and this matter is not a day or two. Old Madam Wu continued, "If there is no shadow, my second daughter-in-law can't tell me that." ”

Mrs. Xia nodded: "Mrs. Zhang is a widow, just this child's play, and she wants to find her niece as her daughter-in-law, so she has a plan." "My niece should always be close to her.

"I heard what my second daughter-in-law said, so I hurried over to tell you. Mrs. Wu pointed at Mrs. Xia instead of Mr. Xia and said, "What happened to the second daughter-in-law just now, and I came to break the wedge!"

"No, she can't think like that. Mrs. Xia hurriedly said, "The temper of the second daughter-in-law is not a day or two, don't be like her." ”

"Yes, she's like that, scorpion stinging. You are the second aunt, and the second child knows in his heart that you have to look at him at all times. He told me that day. Old Man Xia also said.

Old Madam Wu seemed to iron a lot, and then talked about Old Madam Zhang. “…… Everyone said that it was good, and there was a memorial arch, and then the son was set a daughter-in-law, and when the time came, it was good to say, if it was not good, then everyone had to say that the daughter-in-law was not good. If you want me to say, it's not easy to be a daughter-in-law like this. I think the second daughter-in-law is very sweet, if it were someone else, I would definitely not say anything. Isn't this my own child, I can say whatever I want. ”

Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia both nodded, saying that they knew that Old Lady Wu was the most enthusiastic person.

Mrs. Wu babbled for a while, and then remembered that there were still many things at home, so she said goodbye and left.

"His aunt has a warm heart. Old Man Xia said with emotion.

"He's a good guy. Mrs. Xia nodded in agreement, and then said to Mr. Xia, "If people really want to decide their niece, then the second child and the second pillar will go to ...... today" This result is very difficult to say.

Old Man Xia frowned slightly: "No matter what the result is, just have a result." The second family in the province is not touching the sky or the earth. ”

"That's just as well. Old Lady Xia nodded.

Xia Zhi heard everything beside him, and couldn't help but glance in the direction of the east wing. May's heart is very high, I thought that I could marry a rich family this time, who would have thought that the future mother-in-law would have a candidate for a daughter-in-law, and that choice was not May.

It seems that the family affair in May is full of twists and turns.

Lunch is still eaten in the backyard on the summer solstice. The days are very short in winter in Bukit Town, and some families don't eat lunch at all. On the one hand, Mrs. Xia is because of the little black fish, and on the other hand, because Mr. Xia has the habit of eating lunch, so she still prepares three meals a day.

But it's easier to eat at noon, and you have to eat dumplings at night.

Camellia oil noodles with dim sum, this is the lunch of the summer solstice, the little black fish, the old man Xia and the old lady Xia. Camellia oil noodles are the best of Guixiangzhai, which is added with osmanthus, nuts, walnuts, etc., the aroma is overflowing when brewed with boiling water, and the dim sum is also Guixiangzhai's, Xia Zhi ate a piece of white skin filled with rose filling, the little black fish and Mrs. Xia ate Saqima, and the old man Xia didn't like to eat sweet, so he ate two shortbreads with salt and pepper.

Because the bowl of oil tea noodles on the summer solstice was relatively thin, and the dim sum was only eaten in a small piece, Mrs. Xia was afraid that she would not be full, so she brought a bowl of stewed pears to her to eat.

On the summer solstice, I dig pear flesh and drink pear soup, which I think is very sweet and delicious. The little black fish looked at it, Xia Zhi smiled, and dug a spoonful of stewed pears for the little black fish.

Mrs. Xia brought another bowl of stewed pears, and she asked Mr. Xia to eat with her. Old Man Xia looked into the bowl and saw that it was added, so he shook his head and refused to eat it. The little black fish poked her head at Mrs. Xia again. Old Lady Xia pushed him away with a smile.

"You can't eat it. ”

Mrs. Xia's bowl of stewed pears was filled with toad oil, which not only the little black fish could not be eaten, but also the summer solstice. Old Man Xia felt that it was for nourishing women, so he refused to eat it.

"This thing really works, and when I drink it every once in a while, my heart is comfortable. Mrs. Xia said with a smile.

After they had lunch, Mrs. Xia began to talk about making dumplings in the evening.

Even in the era before the summer solstice, all kinds of household appliances were extremely developed, and it was time-consuming to cook meals for several people three times a day. And in this era when all handmade and earthen stoves are used, this is even more so.

The term pot turn is somewhat derogatory, but it is very vivid.

Mrs. Xia was almost all around the pot all day. However, she was very happy, and the family valued and respected her work.

Because he had to make too many dumplings, Xia Zhi went back to the front yard and told Tian.

"What are you going to eat in the backyard!" Tian said and glanced at Xia Xiucai.

Xia Xiucai didn't speak.

"Bring the stuff and we'll pack it ourselves. Tian said.

Old man Xia Zhang Luo made dumplings, just wanted to eat at the same table with his sons, especially the eldest son Xia Xiucai!

"Mother, you talk to my grandfather and my grandmother yourself, I can't say it. Xia Solstice smiled and went back to Westinghouse.

Tian wanted to send Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er to the backyard to say this, but Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er didn't agree. Of course, Tian refused to say it himself, so he turned his head to look at Xia Xiucai.

Xia Xiucai opened his mouth this time: "If you go to the backyard to eat, you can eat in the backyard." Don't be too varied. His grandfather and grandmother are kind-hearted. ”

"What's wrong with me?" Tian counted Xia Xiucai for a while, but finally compromised, she greeted Xia Zhi, and then took the eldest girl and the second girl to the backyard.

When Xia Zhi was about to go out, he called Xia Xiucai: "Dad, my father has recited you several times today." ”

"I was going to the backyard. Xia Xiucai got off the kang and put on his shoes, and followed to the backyard.

The backyard is lively. The women chatted while chopping the stuffing with the noodles, and the old man Xia and Xia Xiucai sat on the kang and said very densely.

On a cold day, the water drips into ice outside, but the inside of the house is hot.

Such a day, in the eyes of Old Man Xia, is a happiest day.

Xia Zhi helped Mrs. Xia chop the stuffing, and the little black fish and the little tree came to ask her to go to the Hetao to play together.

"Big brother helped us tie up an ice car, sister, you go too, I'll push you to play." Xiao Shu'er said with the summer solstice.

"Sixteen, let's go together. "The little black fish also came to pull the summer solstice.

"No, I'm ~ working. Xia Solstice flatly refused.

Old Mrs. Xia came over and grabbed the knife in Xia Zhi's hand: "Sixteen, you go and play." It's still early, I'll make these dumplings with you~ Mother, your second and third aunts can wrap them. ”

Mrs. Xia didn't favor one over the other, so she let her grandchildren play. "It's finally been a New Year, and it's all loose. ”

During the Chinese New Year, the adults in the family will try their best to meet the requirements of the children, and let the children let go of playing.

The little tree and the little black fish all came to pull the summer solstice, and then Daqing also came over to pick up the summer solstice.

"Alright, alright. Xia Zhi could only raise his hand in surrender, "I'll go with you." ”

The final result was that Xia Qiao also went with him. The ice car that has just been made, Xia Qiao is responsible for pushing everyone to play, and then he has to be responsible for taking care of everyone, and when the time comes, he will take the big guy back safely.

Xia Qiao is a very responsible and reliable person.

Sitting on the ice car and playing something, although it is very childish, it is also really fun! As soon as the summer solstice played for a while, Sun Lan'er saw it at the door of the house. She also ran over to help push the ice cart, which made Xia Solstice a few more fun.

It wasn't until a child came to report that Second Uncle Xia and Xia Zhu had come back in a hurry, and Xia Zhi stopped playing. She asked Xia Qiao to continue to play with Xiao Heiyuer, Xiao Shu'er, and Xiao Xia Lin, and she wanted to go back to hear what the results of Second Uncle Xia's trip were.

Layue and Chen Xing'er also refused to play, and they were more concerned about May's family affairs.

As for May and July, they didn't come to play at all.

Back in the backyard of Xia's house, Xia Zhi first saw Uncle Xia San unloading the car, he first unloaded the big green mule from the car and sent it to the livestock shed to feed, and then began to unload the carport again.

Second Uncle Xia and Xia Zhu were not on the side to help. They are all in the upper room.

When Xia Zhi rushed to the upper room, he happened to hear Second Uncle Xia say that Mrs. Zhang was going to marry her niece to her son Zhang Fang.

It turned out that after Second Uncle Xia and Xia Zhu arrived in Xin'an Town, they didn't have much trouble seeing Zhang Fang. Xia Zhu came forward to say everything he was going to say, and Zhang Fang was very embarrassed, and his speech was vague. Second Uncle Xia saw that this was not a problem, so he could only come forward himself.

Zhang Fang said Mrs. Zhang's plan at this time.

“…… It's his mother's plan, and he doesn't like it. He only has us May in his heart, so he wants to marry us May. Second Uncle Xia said loudly.

"Then when will he let the matchmaker come to the door to say goodbye?" asked Old Man Xia.

Second Uncle Xia stood up.

"Why don't you have a happy word?" Old Man Xia was anxious.

"No, that kid in Zhangfang is a filial son. He'll have to talk to his mother. But his mother can't screw him. He made up his mind that he would definitely marry us in May. When he made sense of his mother, he came to propose. ”

This is not true. Old Man Xia tasted the product and said.

"Dad, then we have to let him talk to his mother at the right time. You can't let him break up with his mother because of this, right? That's not something people like us can do. Second Uncle Xia said that it was actually the meaning of protecting Zhang Fang.

Xia Zhi faintly felt that there was a problem here.

Old Man Xia glanced at Second Uncle Xia: "Come on, run back and forth, you hurry up and wash up and get ready for dinner." ”

"Hey. Second Uncle Xia was busy, and then seeing that Old Man Xia didn't say anything anymore, he took Xia Zhu back to the east wing.

Old Man Xia's frowning brows never relaxed.

In the evening, it was cabbage ~ meat-filled dumplings, and everyone tacitly did not mention Zhangfang when they ate. After the meal, Mrs. Xia made tea, and Mr. Xia sat with his son and grandson and chatted.

In the evening, the people gradually dispersed. In the end, only Second Uncle Xia was left yet. He was reluctant to let Mr. Xia have the good tea here, and the tea was still there, so he was reluctant to leave.

"Second brother," Old Man Xia said to Second Uncle Xia at this time, "Forget about this family business of the Zhang family." After the New Year, I asked someone to find my mother-in-law's house for May. ”

"Dad, just forget what you do. Zhang Fang's kid ......"

Old Man Xia raised his hand and stopped Second Uncle Xia's words: "Zhang Fang, he must listen to his mother in the end." Even if it is 10,000 steps back, May can really make this family, it is not a good thing, and she will not be able to live with her mother-in-law in the future. ”

And there is another sentence that Old Man Xia didn't say.

Zhang Fang really insists on marrying May, and he will definitely conflict with his mother, Mrs. Zhang, and when the time comes, the city will be full of wind and rain, and Old Man Xia will be annoyed by such things.
