Uncle Tian rubbed his hands and laughed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He pushed Tian Dabao, who was sitting stupidly on the side, to Xia Xiucai and Tian's side, and asked Tian Dabao to call them.

Xia Xiucai and Tian came, but Tian Dabao kept sitting, not knowing how to stand up at all, let alone taking the initiative to talk to Xia Xiucai and Tian. was pushed to Xia Xiucai and Tian by Uncle Tian, and Tian Wang's came over to teach him two sentences, so he called his aunt and uncle, and then stumbled and said what Tian Wang's taught him.

There are only two sentences, which are not complicated words, but Tian Dabao can't learn them all. But even so, it seems that it is enough to make the Tian family happy.

Tian Wang's eyes when he looked at Tian Dabao were extremely doting: "Dabao is out, look at how good it is to talk to his aunt and uncle." ”

Uncle Tian and the Jiang family echoed on the side, saying that Tian Dabao was getting more and more talented and smarter.

Xia Solstice was watching from the side, and he couldn't look directly at this family.

Old man Tian had been sitting on the kang, and everyone in the Tian family was surrounding Tian Dabao, but he didn't say much. After everyone finished speaking, he set his eyes on Xia Zhi's body.

Tian was busy and called Xia Qiao, Xia Zhi and Xiao Shu'er to come over and salute Old Man Tian. As soon as Xia Solstice arrived here, he knew that the Tian family didn't want to see her, so he refused to step forward and only followed behind Xia Qiao.

Xia Qiao still protected his sister, plus a small tree, Xia Zhi followed them to salute Old Man Tian. Old man Tian praised Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er, but he didn't say a word to her.

However, after praising Xia Qiao, Old Man Tian sighed and glanced at Xia Solstice from the corner of his eye. "Your Lao Xia family has been a decent person for several lifetimes, and at a young age, your eyes have grown on your brain, and you can't look down on the people of our Lao Tian family. The bridge and the little tree are not bad, they don't look down on us. ”

On the surface, this sentence is praising Xia Qiao and Xiaoshuer, but in fact, the edge alludes to the summer solstice. Xia Zhi said that he would not marry Tian Dabao as a daughter-in-law, which in the eyes of the Tian family, the old man Tian, was snobbish and looked down on them.

What bullshit logic is this!

"This person should be self-reliant, sit upright, and worry about others looking down on him!" Xia Zhi muttered in a low voice, she really couldn't help it. The way the Tian family grabbed things outside, and the way the old man Tian deliberately put up a shelf now, she really looked down on it.

Although Xia Zhi's voice was low, Old Man Tian heard it. He narrowed his eyes and threw a cold glance at Xia Zhi. However, he did not count the summer solstice in his own identity, but turned his attention to Tian and Xia Xiucai.

Tian was talking to Tian Wang just now, and he didn't hear Xia Zhi muttering anything in a low voice. But she understood Old Man Tian's gaze. She immediately glared at Xia Solstice. Xia Xiucai heard Xia Zhi's words, but he was instructed by Old Man Xia to take good care of Xia Zhi. However, he didn't dare to say anything about the Tian family, so he deliberately blocked the middle of the Tian family and the summer solstice.

Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er felt bad and hurriedly protected Xia Zhi. Xia Qiao also said to Old Man Tian: "Grandpa, you talk, let's go out and have a look." ”

As they spoke, Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er brought Xia Solstice out of the house.

Xia Solstice was not in the house, and both Old Man Tian and Tian lost their goals. After all, they still wanted to have something serious to talk about, so they had to put down the matter of the summer solstice first.

It's just a whisper, and not everyone has heard it, so it's not a big deal.

Xia Zhi came out of the house with Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er, but refused to go far. She has an important mission to do this time. Not only did she have to listen carefully to what the Tian family had to talk about with Xia Xiucai, but she also had to come forward when necessary.

Therefore, Xia Zhi stood at the door, and she smiled at Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er: "Let's just stand here for a while." I guess they can't take care of me when they talk about business. ”

"That being said, though, Sixteen, you'd better be careful. Xia Qiao instructed Xia Zhi, "Our grandfather's eyes are sharp and his ears are also sharp." Sixteen, stop talking nonsense. ”

"I didn't talk nonsense. Xia Zhi smiled and defended, and didn't say much, "Brother, don't worry, I'll be careful." ”

After standing at the door for a while, Xia Zhi dragged Xia Qiao and Xiaoshu'er back to the house. In the house, Tian was putting out the things she bought one by one, what this was for whom, what was for that, and what was being done, and she was very careful.

Tian Wang's family, Uncle Tian's and Jiang's family were all smiling, Tian Dabao was also silly, and the two little girls, the eldest girl and the second girl, were also staring at the things that Tian brought back.

Although they moved their things into the house, they didn't dare to move, and they didn't even dare to take a closer look in front of Old Man Tian.

Tian had already made everything clear, and she explained to Old Man Tian apologetically while watching Tian Wang's things go down.

"Your aunt is in trouble at the academy these days, and he doesn't earn any extra money. I bought less things, Dad, don't be surprised by your old man. Tian was very deferential in front of Old Man Tian, and rarely raised his head to look at Old Man Tian when he spoke.

Old man Tian nodded slightly. "Hmm. You are also here to save money for Dabao to marry his daughter-in-law. This thing is a trivial matter, and Dabao's marriage to a daughter-in-law is a big thing. If it weren't for ......"

Speaking of this, Old Man Tian glanced at Xia Zhi, who had returned to the house. "If not...... , the big guy doesn't have to be so tight. ”

Old man Tian didn't make it clear, but everyone present, including Xia Zhi, understood. Old man Tian refers to Xia Zhi's reluctance to marry Tian Dabao.

If Xia Zhi is willing to marry Tian Dabao, the Tian family doesn't need to prepare so much silver, which means that Xia Xiucai doesn't need to raise so much silver, and the big guy will not be relaxed.

What kind of bullshit logic is this!

Knowing that they didn't know what unbelievable things they would say next, Xia Zhi simply moved a bench from the side and sat down. Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er were also conscious, and sat next to Xia Zhi left and right.

These two brothers are determined to protect the summer solstice. If the Tian family was unfriendly to the summer solstice, if it weren't for the fact that Old Man Tian had already mentioned the summer solstice several times in this meeting, it is estimated that Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er would not be so nervous.

Old man Tian not only brought the summer solstice with him, but also directly turned the topic to today's topic. Next, it should be about the silver.

Old man Tian always has a thin face, and his small eyes are always squinted, and it is difficult to see any expression. But Uncle Tian's expression is more straightforward and easy to understand.

Uncle Tian rubbed his hands, a pair of big white eyes and little black gurgling. However, before talking about business, Uncle Tian has not forgotten another important matter.

Uncle Tian urged Tian Wang and Jiang to hurry up and cook. "Look, my sister and brother-in-law have come all the way here, hurry up and prepare dinner. ”

Tian not only bought five catties of pork, but also bought a roast chicken. When Uncle Tian looked at the roast chicken just now, he was already drooling a little.

Jiang glanced at Tian Wang. Tian Wang thought about it, and she was very concerned about what she was going to talk about next. But on second thought, cooking in the outhouse did not affect her listening to the conversation in the house, and when it was time for her to speak, she naturally came in to speak.

Thinking so, Tian Wang glanced at Old Man Tian.

Old man Tian didn't look at Tian Wang's family, only squinted his eyes and nodded. Tian Wang's family took the Jiang family at this time, and also called the eldest girl and the second girl out, asking them to help cook together. Tian Wang also glanced at Xia Zhi, but he didn't call Xia Zhi.

She didn't feel sorry for Xia Solstice and didn't let Xia Solstice work, but just to snub Xia Solstice and express her dislike and disdain for Xia Solstice.

But how could Xia Zhi take her emotions to heart. Tian Wang's family doesn't call her, she is happy to be idle.

When it was time to talk about business, Old Man Tian's gaze swept over the faces of the three Xia Zhi brothers and sisters. He didn't speak, but looked at Tian. Tian immediately understood that Old Man Tian wanted to spend the three of Xia Qiao.

"Daqiao, you take the little tree out for a while. Tian ordered Daqiao, and then glared at Xia Zhi, "Xia Zhi, why are you still sitting there and helping your grandmother cook." ”

"My grandma doesn't need me. Xia Zhi smiled, "Mother, we are all very concerned about my eldest brother's affairs, and I want to hear about it." ”

Xia Xiucai finally knew that he was useless, and at this time, he was busy catching Xia Zhi's words. "The kids can do whatever they like, leave them alone. The bridge is also bigger, and he listens to the affairs of the family. "I didn't say anything about the summer solstice and the little trees. Xia Zhi and Xiao Shu'er sat there honestly and unceremoniously, not moving.

Old man Tian was not very happy, but Sun Zi Dabao's family affairs were the most important. Now that Xia Xiucai has spoken, he can't refute this uncle's face too much.

Old man Tian no longer cared about the three Xia Zhi, and only fixed his eyes on Xia Xiucai and Tian, as if to remind them that it was time to take out the silver.

When the silver was finally mentioned, Tian's heart was a little worried. At this time, she glanced at Xia Xiucai, as if she wanted to get some support from Xia Xiucai. Xia Xiucai should have sensed Tian's mood, so he nodded at her.

Only then did Tian slowly push the small burden in front of him to Old Man Tian.

Old man Tian had actually seen this burden a long time ago, and judged that it should be filled with silver. He looked at this burden secretly, and felt in his heart that the size of this burden did not seem to suit his heart.

His gaze fell on the burden again, and then he lifted his eyelids and looked at Xia Xiucai and Tian. He didn't touch the baggage, but motioned for Tian to open the baggage.

Tian hesitated.

Uncle Tian didn't hesitate at all, seeing that Old Man Tian and the Tian family refused to open the baggage. He stretched out his big hand, took the burden to himself, and then opened the burden with two strokes.

Inside the furoshiki are large and small silver ingots, among which there are many scattered silver horns. Uncle Tian's eyes immediately widened, and he picked up a handful of silver and laughed.

Old man Tian didn't smile, he sank his face. He asked Tian, "Nizi, what do you mean?"

"Daddy. Tian suddenly felt some sweat on his forehead, "Something happened in your aunt's academy, and their mountain chief refused to give an advance payment." Your uncle borrowed money from others, and that's all he borrowed. ”

"How much is this?" asked Old Man Tian again.

"It's thirty taels. Tian said in a weak tone.

Old man Tian seemed to be angry when he heard this. He raised the dry tobacco pouch in his hand and smoked it towards Uncle Tian's hand. Uncle Tian was in pain, and as soon as he let go, the silver in his hand fell.

"Dad, what are you doing here? Uncle Tian stared at Old Man Tian with big eyes.

"No matter how old you are, you can't grow a little heart. Old man Tian scolded Uncle Tian hatefully, "What is this little bit of silver enough for, is it enough for your son to marry a daughter-in-law, you will be happy!"

The summer solstice can be seen clearly from the side. Old man Tian is not scolding Uncle Tian, but listening to Tian and Xia Xiucai.

Uncle Tian slowly came back to his senses, and he asked Tian and Xia Xiucai in a rough voice: "Sister, brother-in-law, it's not thirty taels that we said it would be." Didn't my brother-in-law promise to come back with at least a hundred taels of silver for us this time? Brother-in-law, did you say?"

Xia Xiucai was asked by his brother-in-law, he was a sincere person, so he nodded and said yes. "But this time I really couldn't raise that much money. Our mountain chief said that we will not advance the wages of the gentlemen in the future. I'm going to borrow money, and there's nowhere to borrow it. ”

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?" Uncle Tian's reaction was a little slower, but he also heard some of the meaning in Xia Xiucai's words, and he was a little confused.

Old man Tian frowned even more, according to what Xia Xiucai said, this time thirty taels is still a lot, and it will be impossible for Xia Xiucai to send a large amount of silver to him in the future.

It's okay.

In fact, Old Man Tian had already made plans for the future. Over the years, he has used various excuses to get money from Tian and Xia Xiucai. Now there is only one big matter left for Tian Dabao, and there will be no such good excuse for them to ask for money from the Tian family and Xia Xiucai in the future.

Moreover, Old Man Tian has not yet taken precautions. I feel that Xia Xiucai has not been admitted to the lifting of people for all these years, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, maybe when Xia Xiucai will really not be able to get money.

Therefore, he planned to take advantage of the opportunity of Tian Dabao's marriage, and also to take advantage of Xia Xiucai's ability to get money, and ask Xia Xiucai for more at one time.

Two hundred taels of silver, not only enough for Tian Dabao to marry a daughter-in-law, but I am afraid that I will have the money to give birth to three or four babies in the future.

Old man Tian is a person with a long-term vision, and he has already thought about the next few decades for his grandson and his family.

"There are only these thirty taels, and there are no more?" Uncle Tian finally reacted and asked with wide eyes.

Old man Tian didn't ask anything, but his silence was the most powerful silent pressure for Tian. Tian hurriedly explained and assured Old Man Tian: "...... The wheat harvested today can still be sold for some money, and the two pigs at home can also be sold for money during the Chinese New Year, I, we ......."

"How much money can you give Dabao if you add all of this together?" asked Old Man Tian as he continued.

"Almost...... Be...... Forty taels. Tian bit his lip and said.

"Forty taels, you said forty taels, is forty taels enough for Dabao to marry a daughter-in-law? You, you want Dabao to be a bachelor for the rest of his life!" Old man Tian pointed at Tian and reproached bitterly.
