In the past few days of harvesting wheat, there has been no wine. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info today's banquet, naturally there is wine. Xia Zhi held the wine cup, saluted the old man Xia, the old man of the Chen family, and Tian Fugui two cups of wine at the main table, and then went to the table on the kang, and An An ate with the big guys.

At the main table, the big guys didn't eat much at first, they just drank and talked.

Tian Fugui spoke very generously.

"Uncle, if you encounter something like this again, just say hello to me. Like this time, if it hadn't been for the sixteenth of our family who met me and told me, I wouldn't have known. Uncle, you're out of sight. ”

Old Man Xia smiled and said politely to Tian Fugui, and said that this time he was able to take back all the wheat thanks to him.

The old man of the Chen family is also a person who is very good at talking on the scene. He and Tian Fugui had just met, but after a few glasses of wine, the two were already like old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Knowing that in addition to fruit trees, the Chen family also sells mountain goods, and sometimes does the business of pulling feet, Tian Fugui took care of everything, saying that he could help sell the Chen family's mountain goods as many as he could, and the price was good, so that the Chen family would have a large number of mountain goods to contact him.

In such a scene, you can't take it all seriously, but you can't take it completely inappropriately, it all depends on whether the person who speaks is a person who does practical things. Tian Fugui has traveled extensively, and he is willing to make friends with people from three religions and nine streams, in the eyes of Old Man Xia, he is not a farmer himself, so his friendship with the Tian family has always been relatively dull.

But the old man of the Chen family has no worries. He immediately touched another glass of wine with Tian Fugui, and said that he must come and go often in the future.

Xia Zhi heard their words clearly at the table on the kang. If the Chen family sells mountain goods to Fucheng, they will definitely make more money than selling them in the market. In this matter, Tian Fugui can really match the gap from it. She's happy to see it happen, too.

Seeing the happiness of the old man of the Chen family and Tian Fugui, the old man Xia also felt very happy.

Everyone ate happily at this meal, and Old Man Xia, Tian Fugui and Old Man Chen all drank a little too much in the end. According to the words of Old Man Xia, that is, there are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant.

Tian Fugui stayed in the Xia family, talking to the old man Xia and the old man of the Chen family, from the evening until it was dark, and drank several pots of tea. In the end, the Tian family was not at ease and sent someone to look for him, so he went back.

After sending Tian Fugui away, the old man of the Chen family praised Tian Fugui and said that he was a person on the scene. "No wonder it's so open. ”

Tian Fugui left, and the old man of the Chen family and the old man Xia talked about themselves again. Xia Zhi occasionally heard a sentence or two on the side, and the old man of the Chen family actually mentioned the family affairs of the eldest brother of the Chen family.

"Layue, is your grandfather really planning to marry Sun Si'er's family?" Xia Zhi found Layue to inquire.

"My grandfather saw the eldest daughter of Sun Si'er's family, and he seemed to think that people were okay. I didn't say it was certain, I probably wanted to see it. Layue didn't hide it from Xia Zhi, so she told Xia Solstice everything she knew.

The eldest brother of the Chen family is the eldest grandson, and of course this first grandson and daughter-in-law must be carefully chosen. Although the eldest brother of the Chen family is not very old, the people in their mountains generally have a daughter-in-law earlier than those in the plains.

Because the old man of the Chen family seriously considered the family affairs of the eldest brother of the Chen family, Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of Xia Qiao, Sun Lan'er, Qian Yuelai, and the eldest girl.

"Sister, let me tell you something. Layue said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" asked Xia Zhi.

Layue seemed to hesitate a little again: "Actually, it's nothing ......."

"Tell me, I'll judge for myself what is nothing. This is no one else...... "The summer solstice urges the wax moon."

"That's it...... , Sister, did you find it? Big girl, she always seems to peek at Brother Daqiao, and I saw it twice. Sister, have you found out?" Layue hesitated for a while, and finally said to Xia Zhi.

"Ah......" Xia Zhi rolled his eyes slightly, "Big girl...... ...... with my brother."

"I don't know if I'm too careful. Layue hurriedly explained, "Anyway, I really saw her looking at Brother Daqiao, I always felt that something was wrong with that look, maybe I was thinking too much." Layue didn't look very sure.

A twelve-year-old girl already has an instinctive acumen in certain things.

Since Layue chose to say it, it means that this is probably really a thing.

Looking at Xia Zhi's contemplative appearance, Layue thought about it and said another thing to Xia Zhi. "I also happened to hear it, and our grandfather also asked our grandmother to tell you to beware of it. Our grandmother didn't agree, saying that you are too young to let you take care of these things. I don't know if our master told Brother Ohashi about it......"

Layue is now very close to Xia Zhi, and she refuses to hide anything from her.

"It should be fine. Xia Zhi thought about it and said, "The two of them shouldn't live in my house for long." ”

"Why don't you stay long?" Layue didn't understand.

"You'll understand in a few days. Xia Zhi didn't explain much, and asked Layue not to tell the eldest girl about Xia Qiao.

"Sister, I'm just telling you. With others, I definitely don't say it. "The wax moon immediately promised the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi patted Layue on the shoulder and asked her to call Xiao Xia Lin. "Let's go, I've bought some food in town and I'll share it with you. ”

"Good. Layue immediately jumped up and down to find her brother.

Xia Zhi called Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Heiyu'er together, and she first said to Xiao Shu'er: "Xiao Shu'er, you can eat roast chicken today." Next, behave well, and when the wheat is all back at home, let's buy another one to eat. ”

Xiao Shu'er replied loudly, yes, full of fighting spirit.

Only then did the summer solstice take out the food bought from the market. Today, I bought flower cloth for the eldest girl and the second girl, and she bought a pound of peanut sticky and a pound of Jiang rice sticks, all of which are sweet and fragrant, full of oil and sugar.

She divided the sweets and snacks among the children. In the following days, everyone is still busy, but the food is definitely not as good as the wheat harvesting for the past few days. So she bought these small snacks and came back with a few children to take the pads and patches, which were both motivating and rewarding.

Of course, there is another point, that is, watching them work with adults, Xia Solstice is actually quite distressing.

"Sister, you have divided everything for us, why didn't you keep some of it?" After dividing the candy and snacks, Layue said in surprise.

"It's okay, I'll eat with Sixteen. The little black fish said immediately, and then discussed with Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, I'm going to catch fish, and I'm still doing this sweet and sour fish today, okay?"

"Okay, but uncle, you can't go into the water alone, you know?" Xia Solstice instructed the little black fish.

After the ambush, the rain gradually increased. The water in the loop has also risen, and although the little black fish is good at water, the big guy is still not at ease.

The little black fish has a discussion with Xia Zhilai, and he is willing to listen to Xia Zhi's words. Because Xia Zhi said solemnly, the little black fish agreed seriously.

Hearing the little black fish say that they wanted to catch fish, the other children were happy, and they didn't have to worry about not being able to eat fish. Today's sweet and sour fish is sweet and sweet, and they also love to eat it.

The next day, the old man of the Chen family left after breakfast. Then, it was a sunny day for two consecutive days, and Mr. Xia took his family to the yard to dry the wheat, grind the wheat, and raise the field.

Because there are no big animals, only people can pull the stones. To do this work, the main force is naturally Uncle Xia San, and then Aunt Xia San, and Xia Qiao. Although Old Man Xia is a few years old, he refuses to serve the old, and he still personally works with Uncle Xia in a few shifts.

At the age of Mr. Xia, most of the Zhuang families have to do such manual work. In them, this is a very common thing, the so-called live to be old, to work until old age.

Because it is still manual work, although the food is not as good as when it is time to cut wheat, Xia Zhi and Mrs. Xia try their best every day to provide the food very well, including Mr. Xia, the big guys are very satisfied.

Most of the workers are employed at this time, and Sun Lao Wu and Sun Lan'er have to go to work every day. The eldest girl and the second girl got the flower cloth given by the summer solstice, and they were happy and grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and they all went to the yard to help without anyone shouting every day.

There were many times when the two of them appeared in front of the villagers, and the big guy also saw that the two girls were both working people. But thinking of the people of the Lao Tian family in Tun'er, and the plan for the eldest girl and the second girl, the big guy praised the two girls a few words, but no one came to the door to tell the matchmaker.

On this day, the big guy was busy in the courtyard, and he heard someone shouting Old Man Xia. "Uncle, someone is looking for you. ”

Xia Zhi raised his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was Sun Si'er. Sun Si'er has also been working in the yard these days, and he is closer to the Xia family than in the past.

Sun Si'er greeted Old Man Xia, and he also brought a descendant with him.

"Brother Yuelai!" Xia Zhi shouted in surprise when he saw the people brought by Sun Si'er.

Qian Yuelai didn't come alone, he drove the car, and there was a big green mule tied to the back of the car. As soon as you look at this stance, the lower limbs understand what is going on.

Old Man Xia and Third Uncle Xia also understood.

“…… When I received a letter from the sixteen sisters, I hurried to touch the suitable big animals. Bring one over today and show the godfather and the third uncle to look at each other......"

In this way, today's work has selected a suitable large animal, and it has been sent to the family in person, which is too rare in the first place.

Old man Xia said bluntly, good boy. He and Uncle Xia didn't know much about big animals, but just looking at the skeleton, flesh and spirit of the big green mule, they knew that this was a good animal that was one in a hundred.

When Old Man Xia heard Qian Yue's talk about the age of the big green mule, he immediately nodded and said that this is it.

"If you came to touch it in the past month, it must be right. ”

Uncle Xia San also smiled and nodded beside him, he liked this big green mule very much. The little black fish, the little tree and the little Xia Lin have already circled around the big green mule, and they like it so much that they want to touch it.

The summer solstice is also happy, the key is that this mule sent it at the right time.

"Brother Yuelai, you have helped a lot. Xia Zhi smiled and said to Qian Yue, "Originally, we thought that this animal would have to be bought in autumn, and it would be good to help harvest it in autumn." "Now that the mules have arrived, the work of milling wheat is free of manpower.

That's a lot of effort for the big guys. Moreover, the big mules pull the stone mills, and the manpower is freed up to do other things, which also greatly accelerates the progress.

Old Man Xia and Third Uncle Xia naturally thought of this, and they increased their good impression of Qian Yuelai.

"How much is this mule, the seller is still waiting for the money. Go, hurry up and come home with me, and let you get the money for your dry milk. Old Man Xia hurriedly said.

Qian Yuelai said that he was not in a hurry. "They are all regular customers, I gave a little deposit, and I didn't bother to give the rest of the money. ”

Qian Yuelai not only sent the big green mule home, but also helped pay the deposit. Old Man Xia asked the price of this big green mule again, but it was not high. According to Qian Yuelai's words, they are all old customers, and the seller refuses to ask him for more money.

Xia Zhi immediately understood that Qian Yuelai didn't ask for his own money, and it is estimated that he also asked the seller for a friendly price. Xia Zhi understands the truth, and Old Man Xia naturally understands it. He said that the Chinese must give money.

"They all know each other, and who is not related to whom. You're always like this, you can't earn a penny, how can you support your family. ”

Qian Yuelai resolutely refused. "I can ask for other people's, can I want my godfather's? Godmaster, you must give it to me, then I will take it. In the future, I don't dare to wait for the godmaster's door anymore. ”

It's all said and done, what else can Old Man Xia say.

When Qian Yue came here, he unloaded the big green mule from the back of the car and helped Uncle Xia San put it on the stone mill. It turned out that he not only sent the big green mule over, but also brought the necessary bridle straps and so on.

This is to calculate that the Xia family needs to use these to harvest wheat, so they are so well prepared.

Qian Yuelai helped Uncle Xia San set up livestock, and at the same time introduced the tricks to Uncle Xia San. The Xia family had never raised livestock before, and if Qian Yuelai didn't talk about these, Uncle Xia himself might have to take a lot of detours.

After setting up the livestock, Qian Yuelai simply helped to mill the wheat.

"Brother Yuelai, aren't you going to do business?" Xia Zhi asked Qian Yuelai.

"These days, the big guys are busy harvesting wheat, and they don't have much business. I'm here to help out for a few days. Qian Yuelai smiled shyly, "The godfather and the third uncle have never brought big animals before, and I can help a little." ”

The big guy naturally saw it now, Qian Yuelai was not only here to deliver the livestock, but he also came to help harvest the wheat, and to teach Uncle Xia how to feed and call the big green mule.

"I was out the other day, otherwise I would have come to help cut the wheat. Qian Yuelai said again, this is talking to Xia Zhi, and at the same time, he is also telling Old Man Xia and Third Uncle Xia. "We have little land over there, and we haven't planted wheat, so I~ do this kind of work, I'm afraid I can't help much. ”

Xia Zhi didn't say anything, just laughed.

Old Man Xia is now watching Qian Yuelai, and it is not much different from looking at his own grandson.

"You kid, you come here, you~ master, and your father and mother know it?"

"I know everything, and they all want me to come. If they weren't able to help, they would have come. Qian Yuelai said with a smile.

Qian Yuelai brought the big green mule to arrive, which not only won the favor of the Xia family, but also made him quickly familiar with several children of the Xia family.

Seeing that Qian Yuelai was carrying Xiao Xia Lin on his shoulders and bowing his head to talk to Layue, Xia Zhi squinted his eyes slightly.
