After lunch, Uncle Guo and Changsheng went to the front shop to get busy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAunt Xia took Xia Zhi and Pearl to help prepare the banquet for the evening, because there were many meals prepared, so Sister-in-law Liu and Xiaohong were too busy. However, what Aunt Xia asked them to do was some simple work, such as peeling fruits and boxing, picking mushrooms, picking fungus and other simple tasks.

The ladies chatted and joked and could do these well. As for the little black fish, he doesn't have to do anything, he just needs to take Daqing to play.

However, the little black fish is very responsible, he will play for a while, and then he will go to the workshop behind to take a look, and then report the situation to Xia Zhi.

Pearl smiled: "Look at my uncle running back and forth." I don't think the fourth sister needs him. ”

Xia Zhi disagrees with this sentence: "You can't say that." You don't know, Uncle helped me a lot. Without my uncle, I can't do a lot of things. "I heard the little black fish coming over, so Xia Solstice deliberately raised his voice.

When the little black fish heard Xia Zhi'er's words, her little face smiled, proud and complacent.

Aunt Xia secretly glared at Pearl and signaled her not to say such things in the future. If these words are heard by the little black fish, it will make the little black fish unhappy. Then, Aunt Xia also sighed: "Xiaolong is a hot person and loves to worry." ”

"My uncle is warm-hearted. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken care of her business at a young age. Xia Zhi nodded in agreement.

"It's Tao, your grandfather and your grandmother can't control him. And thanks to sixteen. You see that your uncle follows you to do this and that, he is not as naughty as before. Aunt Xia said again.

The little black fish cut off, raised his head and walked away, he didn't like to listen to what others said about him. But this will not make him really angry.

Aunt Xia watched the little black fish run away with Daqing, and laughed twice.

After a while, Xia Xiu came. He was welcomed in by Aunt Guo's father. Walking all the way into the courtyard, Uncle Guo also apologized to Xia Xiucai: "I also said that I would let Changsheng pick you up, such a long way." ”

Xia Xiucai smiled: "It's okay, you and Changsheng are also busy." I don't have anything to do today, so it's good to walk all the way. It turned out that Xia Xiu came by herself.

Xia Xiucai lives a very frugal life, and he is reluctant to hire a sedan chair or carriage for such a long journey.

Seeing Xia Xiucai coming, Aunt Xia, Xia Zhi and Pearl all hurriedly stood up. After everyone greeted each other, Xia Xiucai handed over a jar in his hand, saying that it was a good wine from the students. "Authentic Apricot Blossom Village. ”

Uncle Guo smiled and refused to take it: "Such a good wine, the eldest brother still keeps it for himself." Otherwise, take it back to your father-in-law, or give it to his grandfather to drink. We have everything, big brother, you are too polite. ”

"Just a jar of wine, let's just drink a few cups. Xia Xiucai insisted on handing over the jar.

Uncle Guo signaled to Aunt Xia, and Aunt Xia took the wine jar. Then Uncle Guo was about to accompany Xia Xiucai to the upper room, but Xia Xiucai stopped him.

"I see that there are a lot of things in the shop in front of you, and Changsheng is not here yet. You don't have to accompany me, just go about your business. I'll just sit here and talk to my eldest sister. ”

Uncle Guo did have something in front of him, and after a few more polite words with Xia Xiucai, he confessed and went to the front.

Xia Zhi moved a stool for Xia Xiucai, and Xia Xiucai sat at the table to watch them pick vegetables. He also looked left and right and asked where the little black fish had gone on the summer solstice. Xia Zhi said that he was going to play in the back.

Xia Xiucai nodded and didn't say anything.

Xia Zhi went to serve tea to Xia Xiucai again, and found that Xia Xiucai's eyes were slightly blue and black, and he looked like he was sleep-deprived. Aunt Xia also saw it, so she persuaded Xia Xiucai: "Big brother, no matter what you say, your body is important." ”

"I know. I'm fine, it's fine. Xia Xiucai smiled.

Aunt Xia sighed secretly, and first casually found an excuse to take the pearl away. Then, she also put down the work in her hand. That day, she asked Changsheng to invite Xia Xiucai, and she privately told Changsheng to let Xia Xiucai come over early that day.

Because Xia Xiucai was no longer obsessed with collecting the three hundred taels of silver for the Tian family, Aunt Xia saw a glimmer of hope and wanted to take the opportunity to persuade Xia Xiucai.

"Eldest brother, sister-in-law and several children, the whole family is counting on you to feed them. If you don't take care of yourself, if something happens, what will you do if you let your sister-in-law and children be sixteen? As soon as Aunt Xia spoke, she still asked Xia Xiucai to take care of her body and not to get tired.

She only advised Xia Xiucai to take care of the Tian family and their children, but she didn't mention Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia at all.

"It's fine. Xia Xiucai still smiled and said, "Eldest sister, I've been busy for the past two days, annotating articles for others, and people are in a hurry." When this is over, I'll take a good rest. Sister, don't worry, I know my body, it's okay. ”

"Big brother, I know, I shouldn't care about that. But I still have to say a few words. Over the years, you've done enough, big brother. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about the bridge, the little tree, and Sixteen. ”

Aunt Xia persuaded Xia Xiucai that while he helped the Tian family, he should not forget his children.

Xia Xiucai's face was slightly red: "Big sister, I know." I told Xia Solstice that a lot of money is this time. Your sister-in-law's family has finished Dabao's family affairs, and there is nothing important to talk to me about in the future. ”

"I hope so. Aunt Xia said in a low voice, not expecting much that the Tian family would not speak to Xia Xiucai again. "Big brother, we have a house and land at home, and you work in the academy, so you don't have to bear the burden of the old man. Children's lives shouldn't be like this. ”

Xia Xiucai's face turned even redder, and he didn't know if it was because of the children's sentence or the old man's sentence.

"Big sister, it's all because I don't have the ability. My father and mother can't enjoy my blessings, and the children are also affected and wronged your sister-in-law. ”

Aunt Xia sighed: "Big brother, you can do it in your own heart." ”

Next, the two chatted about homely things until Guo Yuhuan came in from outside. For dinner, Aunt Xia also invited Brother Guo's family, and Guo Yuhuan came over to find pearls in advance.

When she saw Xia Xiucai there, she came over with a smile and saluted Xia Xiucai, and followed Changsheng and the pearl brothers and sisters to call Xia Xiucai to be the uncle. "Uncle doesn't seem to have been here for a while. ”

Xia Xiu is the one who knows Guo Yuhuan. "Yuhuan is good, your father and mother are all right. ”

"My father and mother will come over in a while, let me help my aunt first. Guo Yuhuan said and asked Aunt Xia again, "Auntie, let me help you." ”

In front of people, Guo Yuhuan is not only sweet-mouthed, but also always very diligent, and she is willing to take anything down. But behind people, she is a different look, often pushing the things she takes over to others.

Aunt Xia knew her temperament very well, and she didn't plan to let her do anything.

"Don't get your hands dirty, there's nothing to do for you. Aunt Xia smiled and beckoned Pearl over and let Pearl, Xia Zhi and Guo Yuhuan play by themselves. "Go play by yourselves. ”

Pearl and Guo Yuhuan went to the upper room.

Soon, Guo Yuhuan's father Guo Xi and daughter-in-law Qian also came over. Guo Xi and Uncle Guo don't look like each other at all, he is of medium height, with a knife face, and he is thin and thin. Guo Qian's is five short figures, with a yellow face, and he is also thin and thin. The two originally had a son, but he disappeared when he was seventeen years old, and now he only lives with one Guo Yuhuan.

Guo Xi greeted Xia Xiucai with a shelf, and then went to the upper room to talk. Guo Qian accompanied Aunt Xia to sit down in the patio, a pair of triangular eyes swept around critically, and finally landed on Xia Zhi's face.

Xia Zhi, Pearl, and Yuhuan were originally sitting in the West House of the upper room, but when they heard that Guo Xi and his wife were coming, they all greeted them. After seeing the ceremony, they were all left outside.

Guo Qian glanced at Xia Zhi a few times, and his gaze was cold. Although she is Guo Yuhuan's mother, she and Guo Yuhuan are not the same temper.

"Brother and sister, your niece has been beating you since she arrived, but the longer she gets, the more thoughtful she becomes. Guo Qian's voice is a little sharp, which makes people uncomfortable to listen to. "I remember when she first came, she was dry. It's still the water and soil in our city, brother and sister, you eat and drink well here. ”

said that Guo Qian's and Guo Pearl's tempers are different, how sweet Guo Pearl's mouth is, how mean Guo Qian's mouth is.

"Auntie, how many times have you seen me, how did you know that I was dry when I came? Xia Zhi said pleasantly.

Aunt Xia doesn't like to hear this. And saying this about the summer solstice in front of her is also giving her no face.

"Although our Lao Xia family is also a small family, our family has a field and a scholar. My niece is also a person who hurts her grandmother's heart at home, and she doesn't dare to compare it to our jade ring, but it is much stronger than our pearls. Aunt Xia smiled.

Guo Qian's family was blocked by the two aunts and nephews with a few words. Xia Zhi's words are quite polite, and Aunt Xia's words can be carried with words.

In the final analysis, the Guo family is just a small businessman, but the Tian family is a family of cultivators, and Xia Zhi's father is still a man, and when it comes to the family, he is much higher than the Guo family. In addition, Aunt Xia also pointed out that Xia Zhi was favored by Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, and if you want to talk about the degree of attention and pampering, it is not inferior to Guo Yuhuan.

And in the end, Aunt Xia also compared pearls with Xia Zhi. Pearls are much more expensive than Guo Yuhuan's gold.

Guo Qian pursed her lips, it was not the first time she was scolded by Aunt Xia for saying that Xia Zhi was called, but she refused to accept the lesson. Xia Zhi can see that Guo Qian is the kind who looks down on her and doesn't need any reason.

"She can't do it when she comes, you dress her up, and it's quite attractive to go out. Brother and sister, I asked you that day, your niece hasn't decided yet, right? Guo Qian continued to ask Aunt Xia.

Aunt Xia wanted to divert the topic, but she didn't succeed. Because Guo Qian has already continued: "It's good if you don't get married, if you marry in the countryside, you will suffer for a lifetime." None of us are outsiders. Brother and sister, don't look at my bad mouth, I think about it for you in my heart. ”

It turned out that she knew that her mouth was not good! Xia Zhi was also embarrassed.

Guo Qian had already said the point with a sharp voice: "Your niece looks good, and staying in the city is also an arm of yours." You know the old Liu family in the back street, his eldest son is a good match for your niece. When people asked me that day, I said a lot of good things about your niece. People say they want to see each other, and they almost settle down. ”

Guo Qian actually wanted to protect the media for the summer solstice. What kind of family is the old Liu family in the back street?

On the summer solstice, I went to see Aunt Xia.

Aunt Xia's face was not very good.

"You are her aunt, I think you can call the shots in this matter. The old Liu family said, if you agree, the bride price is easy to say. People don't want any dowry from you, and I guess you can't afford it. The family affairs are decided, and the family plans to take your niece into the door sooner. Brother and sister, this is a good thing. Your mother's side is missing a chew, and your niece can still eat and drink spicy food when she goes to her mother-in-law's house......"

The smile on Aunt Xia's face was completely gone, and she interrupted Guo Qian's words. "Sister-in-law, we are only sixteen or twelve years old. If I remember correctly, the boss of the old Liu family should be twenty this year. I don't think the two children are at the right age. Besides, what her grandfather and grandmother mean is to keep this child for a few more years, and the family is not in a hurry. ”

This is a complete rejection.

"There's something inappropriate. Guo Qian sneered, "How much dowry do you want, let her father and mother just say it." ”

"It's not about the bride price. Sister-in-law, I appreciate your kindness. Let's leave this matter at that, let's not talk about it. Aunt Xia said.

"Brother and sister, this is your fault. Guo Qian looked at Aunt Xia, "I still have to talk about this family matter, so I will help you say it." After this village, there is no such shop. A country girl, only a good look, nothing else, if you find such a person, that is to burn high incense!

Aunt Xia's face changed, and then she smiled: "Sister-in-law bothered." For such a good family, the sister-in-law should keep it for herself. Yuhuan is the same age as Xia Zhi, and it is not much worse. The sister-in-law fell in love with the boss of the old Liu family, and it was not better to be an in-law nearby. ”

On the summer solstice, this will naturally smell the smell of gunpowder between Aunt Xia and Guo Qian's family. At the same time, she also suddenly realized. Guo Qian's words behind him have already climbed Aunt Xia. Thinking of a certain rumor she had heard, Xia Zhi understood why Guo Qian's family looked down on her so much.

Guo Qian's is angry. Guo Qian's family obviously has an old grudge with Aunt Xia, but he can't do anything with Aunt Xia, so he picks on her everywhere and always wants to make her uncomfortable.

Aunt Xia is usually gentle and gentle, but it is not possible to suffer losses when getting along with concubines, especially such a loss, of course Aunt Xia can't eat it. Look at what she scolded Guo Qian again!

Speaking of Guo Yuhuan, Guo Qian's yellow scorched face, eyebrows, and eyes were almost raised. She was anxious with Aunt Xia: "You are an aunt, why do you practice our family's jade ring." Why don't you give the pearl to the old Liu family!"

She was in such a hurry, Xia Solstice couldn't help but smile. This Guo Qian is definitely not Aunt Xia's opponent.
