Aunt Xia usually goes out not through the black lacquered gate, but through the grocery store. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info came out of the front of the grocery store, and the West Market Street was already bustling with people. Li Xia was worried that Xia Zhi and the little black fish would be noisy when they lived here, but in fact, the little black fish didn't like this place too much.

For naughty little children, the constant buzz is their favorite thing. Their sleep is never affected by this, and they like to wake up with their eyes and ears buzzing with excitement.

The Wangjia Silk Village where Aunt Xia is going is also on Xishi Street, not far from the grocery store. Therefore, Aunt Xia didn't take the car, so she led a few children over slowly.

They didn't bring Daqing out this time, because Pearl didn't want to. The little black fish jumped and walked, holding the hand of the summer solstice for a while, and then running to the vendor next to him to see the birds and insects and all kinds of novelties sold by others.

It's still a little early, and the morning market hasn't completely dispersed.

Aunt Xia kept greeting the little black fish and didn't let him run away. The little black fish agreed happily, but she still had to run over when she saw something new.

"Sixteen, follow your uncle, follow your uncle. "Aunt Xia is called Sixteen. Watching Xia Zhi run back and forth with the little black fish with light steps, Aunt Xia laughed and sighed again. When Xia Zhi walked back to her, she said to Xia Zhi, "Thanks to you, if I really can't take him." ”

Xia Zhi smiled: "Uncle is actually very well-behaved." "Although the little black fish is not honest, he will still take care of Aunt Xia and will not run away.

"That's what you say about him. Your grandfather and your grandmother have said that your uncle is very skinny. Every time I take it out, I have to break my heart and break my leg. ”

"Haha. Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Little Black Fish may have been like this when she was younger, but now she is indeed much more sensible.

Rare Pearl also laughed, Aunt Xia's words were really interesting.

"That's why my grandfather and my grandmother found Daqing for him. Xia Zhi said again. With the big green here, the safety factor of the little black fish has increased exponentially.

Aunt Xia nodded, she knew the reason why Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia raised Daqing for Little Black Fish.

Talking and laughing all the way, they soon arrived in front of the Wang family's silk village. Wang's silk village is a four-room faΓ§ade, which is much more gorgeous than the Guo family's grocery store. The shopkeeper and the young man obviously recognized Aunt Xia, and greeted Grandma Guo warmly.

On Xishi Street, people call Aunt Xia Grandma Guo.

"Grandma Guo is bringing the eldest girl to buy cloth to make clothes! We have just shipped a batch of fine silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou in our shop, and the patterns are the most fashionable. Oh, these two little masters and girls are ......"

This is for the sake of the summer solstice and the little black fish brought by Aunt Xia.

"This is my little brother, and this is my niece. Her father was a gentleman at Wenshan Academy. Aunt Xia briefly introduced to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper said a few more polite words, and asked the young man to take the new silk to choose for Aunt Xia.

Aunt Xia only planned to make a set of clothes for Xiao Heiyuer and Xia Zhi. Pearl's new outfit this season has been made for a long time. This time, it was to comfort Pearl, so he brought her over and added her another set of clothes.

The pearl is obviously ripe too, she didn't wait for Aunt Xia to pick it for her, so she picked her favorite tricks and asked the young man to show her carefully. Aunt Xia smiled, her eyes looking at the pearls while choosing clothes for the little black fish and Xia Zhi. She picked out a few things that she thought were good, and asked which one the little black fish and Xia Solstice preferred.

"That's it. Little Heiyuer didn't care much about the new clothes or anything, so he asked Aunt Xia to make the decision for him, and then instructed Aunt Xia, "Pick the best-looking one for Sixteen." ”

"Good, good. Aunt Xia smiled, first picked a piece of royal blue Hangzhou silk for the little black fish, and then picked several pieces of red, red, green and green for Xia Zhi to choose.

Xia Zhi glanced down at his begonia red, and finally chose a piece of light cyan material. Aunt Xia looked at it carefully, then nodded with a smile: "Sixteen is quite discerning." "Generally, the cyan color is a little plain and old, but although the one selected by the summer solstice is also very plain, it is very well dyed and not heavy at all.

The shopkeeper watched from the side and said that the summer solstice was a good pick. "This rain after the sky is also a material that has just been imported from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and it is very popular to sell, and our owner has also bought a few horses. The little girl was very white, and it was excellent to wear clothes of this color. ”

Pearl had already picked two pieces of material, and when she heard the shopkeeper say this, she told Aunt Xia that she wanted one too.

"How many outfits you've made this year isn't enough. There are many clothes in the house. Aunt Xia scolded the pearl.

"Mother, I want this piece. Pearl immediately said, and told Aunt Xia with some grievances, "We went to my grandmother's house for a few days, and Yuhuan made three more skirts." I've added a lot less than her. ”

The daughter of Aunt Guo's eldest brother in Yuhuan lives next door to Aunt Xia. Knowing that Pearl was back, she came to see Pearl yesterday and showed off her new clothes and jewelry with Pearl for a long time.

"Don't compare yourself to others. Aunt Xia said this, but asked the young man to take a few pieces of cloth that Pearl had picked. There was a tailor in this shop, and Aunt Xia took a few children into the shop and sat down, and immediately called the tailor to come over and measure their size.

The little black fish is a new set of three inside and outside: a small coat, a middle coat and a robe, and the summer solstice is also a new set of three new inside and outside: a water blue muslin coat, a white stand-up collar middle coat, plus a set of rain azure Hangzhou silk dress and skirt, the most popular style in Fucheng is now selected.

In addition, Aunt Xia made three more skirts for pearls.

"Sister-in-law Wang, Pearl's clothes are not in a hurry, my little brother and niece's are in a hurry, but the workmanship can't be bad. Aunt Xia counted out the money from the money bag and instructed the tailor.

Sister-in-law Wang responded again and again. She is a neat middle-aged woman, and she is also familiar with Aunt Xia.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and our pearl girl is getting more and more smart. Then, sister-in-law Wang also looked at the pearl twice more and said with a smile.

Pearl's face was slightly red, and a pair of eyes sparkled with pride.

"You always praise her, look at my niece, but you don't compare her. Aunt Xia said.

The sparkle in Pearl's eyes dimmed, and she seemed to glance at Xia Solstice inadvertently. Xia Zhi lowered his head and talked to the little black fish, not paying attention to Sister-in-law Wang's words at all, let alone Zhu's face.

Sister-in-law Wang looked at the summer solstice and then at the pearl, and said with a smile: "I didn't pay attention to it just now, but I found out after a closer look." The little girl is a little like the big grandmother. No wonder the big grandmother wants to favor her niece. Who doesn't know that our pearl girl is a tweed on the street of the West Market, this age is still young, and in two years, it will be better. ”

Pearl's face immediately turned cloudy.

Xia Zhi also raised his head and looked at the sister-in-law a few more times. She didn't know what the woman's tailoring skills were, but she was clearly a good talker.

Aunt Xia talked to Sister-in-law Wang, asked her to send her clothes to her home after she was ready, and then took a few children out of the silk village. Standing on Xishi Street again, Aunt Xia asked Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish: "Do you want to go shopping again?" ”

The little black fish naturally wanted to go shopping, and Xia Zhi also wanted to take a look everywhere, but she knew that Aunt Xia still had a lot to do. "Auntie, we're not going to shop today. ”

Xia Zhi said so, even if the little black fish was a little reluctant, he didn't say anything, he obediently held Xia Zhi's hand. Xia Zhi knew what he wanted to do, and he would definitely arrange it.

When she returned home, Aunt Xia let Xia Zhi, Little Black Fish and Pearl go to play together, and she took Sister-in-law Liu and Xiaohong to start working. Many bedding and clothes at home have to be cleaned and washed, the yard must also be cleaned, and the valuable goods in the side room must also be cleaned and counted.

Although Aunt Xia didn't go to the shop in front of her, she had to help take charge of the goods and operation of the shop.

Xia Zhi came over to help, and Aunt Xia made a slight excuse and accepted. Xia Zhi is very smart, not only neat hands and feet, but also literate and hyphenated, with her help, Aunt Xia feels that the work in her hands is a lot easier.

The little black fish and Pearl couldn't play together, and Pearl was in the Westhouse by himself, so he ran out and played with Daqing under the grape trellis in the patio.

Xia Zhi and Aunt Xia chatted while working. chatting and chatting, their topic fell on Sister-in-law Wang.

"It's not easy for a widow with three children. Aunt Xia told Xia Zhi that Sister-in-law Wang was of the same clan as the owner of the Wang Family's Silk Village, so she could work in the tailor's shop. She doesn't do the work herself. There are also a few tailors under Sister-in-law Wang's hands, and the handiwork is good.

"It's a bit snobbish, nothing else, and people on the streets of the West Market recognize her. Aunt Xia said again.

"Is she only a tailor?" Xia Zhi asked.

Aunt Xia raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Zhi, and then lowered her head again: "In addition to being a tailor, she also does some work to protect the media and pull fibers." ”

Xia Zhi smiled, feeling that this was the only way to live up to the art of speaking in vain.

"Auntie!" a little girl walked over from the front and called Aunt Xia with a smile on her face.

Aunt Xia raised her head: "Oh, it's Yuhuan here." ”

Guo Yuhuan came over and affectionately called Xia Zhi the fourth sister, and then praised Xia Zhi for being capable and able to help Aunt Xia work.

"I'm just talking to my aunt, I'm idle and moving casually, what kind of work do I have to do here. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Aunt Xia smiled: "Yuhuan, you are the same as Pearl, you should learn from your fourth sister." Your mother and I can have a lot of peace of mind. ”

Guo Yuhuan pursed her lips, still smiling, and she asked Aunt Xia, "Where are the pearls?"

"Pearl is in the house, you go play with her. Aunt Xia said, and then persuaded Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, you also go and play with your two younger sisters for a while." ”
