Chapter 81: A Sense of Crisis

Tian stood at the door of the West House and opened the curtain to say these words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Layue was busy and called out to the aunt with a smile. Xia Solstice didn't speak, and the little black fish looked at Xia Solstice and didn't say anything.

Daqing got up from under the kang, stretched his waist, and called out twice from the Okita clan,

Tian didn't even care, and talked to the little black fish with a smile, saying that it was late, and it was still raining outside, so he asked the little black fish to stay for dinner. The little black fish heyed, but did not agree or refuse. Xia Zhi looked outside, and agreed for the little black fish.

The little black fish glanced at the summer solstice again. Xia Zhi smiled: "Uncle, you forgot, now the household is all from me." She didn't tell Xiao Heiyuer that the reason why Tian's attitude towards him was good and he kept him to eat was because of Tian Laibao. It was Xia Zhi who deliberately misled the Tian family, making her think that the reason why Tian Laibao came to the Xia family and played with the children of the Xia family was because he was good with the little black fish.

Tian is trying to entrap the little black fish.

"Okay, I'll eat here. The little black fish saw that Xia Solstice opened his mouth, so he nodded and agreed.

When Layue saw that it was late, she refused to stay. Xia Zhi instructed her to send a letter to Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia: "I won't go back after eating, I'll sleep here today, it's wet outside, and I'm running back and forth." "Layue went back in the poncho of the little black fish.

If you want to leave the little black fish to eat, Xia Solstice plans to make any dishes. Such rainy weather is actually very suitable for eating hot pot. But her current conditions are not enough. Xia Zhi thought about it, so she called Xia Qiao to come over, she handed Xia Qiao a few money, and asked him to go to the village to buy vegetables.

The vacant land in front of the grocery store at the head of the village can not only rent a car, but also have a meat case. Xia Zhi asked Ohashi to buy a few dollars of meat and buy two pieces of tofu back. Then she discussed with the little black fish: "Uncle, is it okay to eat pancakes?"

"Okay. The little black fish immediately responded, he loved pancakes.

Pancakes need pancake branding, but her family doesn't have it, and only Mrs. Wu's house has it nearby. Xia Zhi held his own umbrella, put on Tian's clogs and went to Mrs. Wu's house.

When she came back with the pancakes, Tian was surprised when she saw it and asked her where she came from. Xia Zhi did not hide it, she told Tian: "I borrowed it from my aunt's house." ”

Tian glanced at Xia Zhi, then rolled up his sleeves and wanted to spread pancakes with batter.

"Mother, don't do it. Xia Zhi stopped Tian, "Mother, if you want, go next door to us, talk to Aunt Sun, and invite Sister Lanzi." ”

Tian came back, and Sun Lan'er no longer came to be a companion to Xia Solstice at night. The meaning of the summer solstice is to let the Tian family come forward and invite Sun Lan'er to thank her. This elevates the matter to the level of two families, rather than two children making friends.

This is Xia Zhi's plan for Sun Lan'er. The Tian clan came forward, and the Sun Wang clan would have to take care of the Tian clan if he abused Sun Lan'er in the future.

"You have given me what you can. Tian glared at Xia Zhi.

"If my mother doesn't want to go, she won't go. It's a human relationship. It's okay for me to go, but it's better for my mother to go. Mother think about it, is this the reason? "The summer solstice is a fact-based attitude.

Tian looked at the summer solstice, and then didn't speak, so he took the umbrella and went to Sun Laowu's house next door.

Xia Zhi reconciled the batter, Xia Qiao also bought all the vegetables back, and then Sun Lan'er also entered the door.

"Sixteen, what to do, I'll help you. Sun Lan'er's face was slightly red, that was happy. It turned out that Tian went next door to tell Sun Wang's family, and Sun Wang's family was naturally unhappy, so he was polite to Tian's family, and sent Sun Lan'er over to help cook. Tian was still chatting with Sun Wang's family at Sun's house.

With Sun Lan'er's help, the summer solstice is more calm.

Baking pancakes is extremely easy and not easy. After the pancake is heated on a small stove, apply a thin layer of oil on both sides, then scoop a spoonful of batter and pour it in, spread the batter evenly into a thin pancake with a spatula, and then turn the round cake over after a while, both sides are cooked, shovel it out and put it in a basin, and then burn the next piece.

To say it's easy is to say it's simple to operate. It's hard to say that it takes skill to make a round, even, and regular pancake. Xia Zhi is a good player, and Sun Lan'er has some hands, but she is clever and quick to learn.

The pancakes were all spread out, Xia Zhi took out a few and wrapped them, and handed them to Xiao Shu'er along with the cleaned pancakes, and asked him to send them to Mrs. Wu. Then, he prepared two more pancakes, one for Old Man Xia and Old Mrs. Xia in the backyard, and one for Sun Lan'er's family.

It's all little trees running errands.

The rest of the pancakes were placed in a basin with a curtain cloth to keep warm. The summer solstice begins to prepare dishes for dinner.

The meat she bought was three parts fat and seven points lean, and she cut it into cheeks finely. The rice is divided into three portions, and one serving is made with tofu to make mapo tofu. In addition to the other seasonings she bought from the town, pepper noodles are the main responsibility for the seasoning. In previous years, the dried pepper seeds were planted on the summer solstice, and the rest was made into pepper noodles.

A portion of the rice is made with soaked vermicelli to make ants on the tree, and another is made into balls with cornstarch, and a little vermicelli and tender cabbage freshly picked from the vegetable garden are added to make a meatball vermicelli cabbage soup.

In addition, Xia Zhi also took out some of her bean sprouts and made a vegetarian fried bean sprouts, with a little vinegar when starting the pot, which is very delicious and healthy.

Tian came back from next door and was stunned when he saw the busy and lively scene in the hall. "It's all the same as making a banquet for the New Year's holiday!" she shook her hand and prepared dinner by herself on the summer solstice, thinking in her heart what Xia Solstice could prepare, but it was just home-cooked green vegetable tofu. Leaving Little Black Fish and Sun Lan'er to eat, there was no need to bother.

Originally, she wanted to sit next door for a while, but the strong aroma wafted by, and she couldn't sit still, so she came back in advance to take a look. She never expected that Xia Zhi would be able to make such a pomp.

When sitting at the dinner table, Tian was still looking at the summer solstice.

Xia Solstice was just invisible, she beckoned Sun Lan'er to eat vegetables, and picked up a piece of pancake with her own hands and rolled bean sprouts for Xiao Heiyu'er, and scooped a bowl of soup for Xiao Heiyu'er.

The little black fish ate it fragrantly, nodding as it ate.

"Mother, what I make is not as delicious as what you make, so let's make do with it. Xia Zhi saw that Tian was still looking at her, so he said politely.

Tian picked up the chopsticks, and she tasted every dish first. Then, her face became a little unpredictable.

Everyone was very happy to eat a meal, only Tian's words were very few, and I didn't know what they were thinking.

At night, Xia Zhi settled the little black fish, and she was about to rest, when Tian suddenly came over and beckoned to her. Xia Zhi thought about it, but he didn't alarm the little black fish, so he followed Tian to the East House.

The quilt had been laid on the kang in the east house, and Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er had not slept yet.

"Xia Solstice, how much did you spend today?" Tian interrogated Xia Solstice at the beginning.

"It didn't cost much. The eldest brother went to buy it, he knew it. "Half a catty of meat, plus two pieces of tofu, only cost ten dollars in total. Vermicelli is the local sweet potato powder she bought when she was in the market, and the cabbage is produced from her own vegetable garden. The pancakes are not made of white flour, but of fine millet and rice.

Millet flour is cheaper than white flour and is considered a coarse grain. In the eyes of the summer solstice, the pancakes of millet flour are better than the pancakes of white flour.

"Ten big bucks is less!" Tian frowned, looking very dissatisfied. Then she also looked at Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er, "When I'm not at home, do you eat like this every day!"

No wonder the two sons are so protective of the summer solstice, especially the little tree. In the past, Xiao Shuer often bullied her sister, and she never had a good face for her sister. But now Xiao Shu'er seems to be a different person, and her intimacy with her sister makes her mother's heart a little sour.

Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er have such a change, they must have been bought by Xia Solstice with food!

"How is that possible. Xia Zhi smiled, "It's good to eat a tooth sacrifice once in a while." If I want to eat like this every day, I have to have that money. ”

Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er also testified to Xia Zhi, saying that Xia Zhi was telling the truth.

In fact, Tian was just uncomfortable, and she didn't believe that Xia Zhi would have so much money. "Xia Zhi, how much money do you still have in your hand?" Tian asked.

"Why is this asked?" Xia Zhi glanced at Tian, "Let's say okay, don't worry about these things." ”

"I'm your mother, and you're still hiding it from me?"

"There's no money. Xia Zhi said dryly.

"Mother, my sister has no money. Xiao Shu'er saw that Tian's face was getting worse and worse, and Xia Zhi didn't smile anymore, he hurriedly threw himself into Tian's arms and coquettishly to relieve Xia Zhi.

Tian was very helpless to rub his youngest son, and he raised his hand and patted Xiao Shu'er's ass twice. "Half a child, don't be ashamed, go down and sit well. "The two sons really leaned to the side of the summer solstice. Tian had more scruples in his heart.

"Did your father give you money? How much money did your father give you?" Tian asked Xia Zhi again. Xia Zhi said that she could make money, but what ability could a little girl have to make money. Tian believes that Xia Zhi surrounded the old man Xia in the backyard, and it was the old man Xia who gave Xia Zhi money, so Xia Zhi was so confident. Looking at Xia Zhi's kindness to the little black fish, she was even more convinced of her own thoughts.

"My grandfather gave me a few dollars, and I spent them all. Xia Solstice replied.

Tian couldn't ask anything, and thought about the money given to her by Xia Zhi, and in the end, he didn't embarrass Xia Zhi. She changed the topic and asked Xia Zhi: "When will you send bean sprouts?"

If it weren't for the fried bean sprouts at night, she wouldn't have found a small jar of bean sprouts on the summer solstice.

"I learned it recently. ”

"Who did you learn from?"

"When I was rushing to the market, I asked a few words, came back to try, and it was done. ”

Tian was silent for a long time, and his face was cloudy. She herself didn't realize that when she came back this time, she was silent more and more in the face of the summer solstice. But she already had a faint sense of crisis in her heart.

This home doesn't seem to be the same home anymore.

"It's late, or let's all rest. Xia Qiao spoke.

"Rest. Tian said expressionlessly.

Only then did the summer solstice go back to Westinghouse to rest. Tian didn't scold her, nor did she count her, but she knew that Tian was unhappy. As for why she was upset, she could guess a rough idea.

The agreement between her and Tian can allow Tian to save more money to supplement her mother's family, but it cannot guarantee that Tian will be happy. Whatever!

The next day, it was another sunny day.

After breakfast, Xia Qiao took the little tree to cut the grass and dig wild vegetables, but Xia Zhi didn't go with them. Now the three brothers and sisters also have a rough division of labor, and the heavy work is taken care of by the two brothers. This is Xia Qiao's proposal, and Xiao Shu'er has no opinion. Tian said two words, but the three brothers and sisters didn't take it to heart.

Xia Zhi did needlework for a while, and when he saw that the dew was almost dry, he went to the vegetable garden in front of him, and pulled weeds from the garden outside the west wall of the backyard to play with flowers and peppers.

Because of the diligence of the servants, there are not many weeds, but by the time the summer solstice is finished, it is almost noon.

Passing by the backyard door, Xia Zhi glanced inside. The backyard was quiet, and there was no one. Xia Zhi thought about it and entered the door.

In the upper house, Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia and Little Black Fish were all there. Tian Laibao, who was supposed to be here at this time, naturally disappeared.

As soon as Xia Solstice entered the house, he was caught off guard by the smoke in the house and coughed.

"Tell me don't smoke these old cigarettes, I see I'm choking on all sixteen. "Mrs. Xia counted Old Man Xia.

Only then did Mr. Xia put down his cigarette pouch and said that he would not smoke.

"I can't count the bags of cigarettes I've smoked this morning. Mrs. Xia fetched water, asked Xia Zhi to wash her hands, and asked her, "Go to the ground, or what are you doing?"

Before he got out of the ground, he pulled out the grass in the garden. Xia Solstice replied.

"Sixteen, I've saved up some dung, and I'll give you those flowers, pepper seedlings or something. Old Man Xia said.

"That's a good idea. Xia Zhi didn't refuse, so he walked over and sat with the little black fish.

The little black fish was reading a book, a little absent-minded. Xia Zhi whispered to him why he didn't go out to play.

"Your lord won't let you out. The little black fish glanced at Old Man Xia dissatisfied.

Xia Zhi glanced in the direction of the east wing. When Mrs. Xia saw it, she came over and told her in a low voice, "It's all here, no one has gone out." Then he sighed.

After this time, Second Uncle Xia slowly lame in, and sat on the edge of the kang with his head bowed.

Old Man Xia was not angry.

"Daddy......"

"Let's be a doorman for May. Old Man Xia spoke. It was the only solution he could come up with without sleeping all night.

"It's easy to say, but where to find the right one for a while. Besides, we didn't do anything in May, Grandma Tian San's mouth...... , we have to talk to them. Second Uncle Xia was angry.

"What do you say? I don't have the face to go to Lao Tian's house. Go and go to yourselves. Old Man Xia said without hesitation.

"Daddy...... "If they dare to go by themselves, how can they still use it to find Old Man Xia."

"I don't have that face. Old Man Xia still had a black face.

Second Uncle Xia looked at Mrs. Xia.

"Old man, if you don't ......," Mrs. Xia had to speak.

Old Man Xia immediately interrupted her, and his voice was very stern: "It's none of your business. ”
