Old Man Xia was not surprised at all, he counted Xia Zhi with his fingers, and said that he had to prepare a few tables for making friends, and he had to prepare two tables for Second Uncle Xia. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your second uncle has been separated over the years, and he has made a few friends. ”

In this arrangement, he is actually very considerate and takes care of Second Uncle Xia. It's a pity that Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia won't accept this love.

Xia Zhi smiled and said that the matter of the restaurant chef who was going to be invited at that time would be left to her. Old Man Xia said that please don't invite both.

"You can't always trouble people. Your second uncle is not worth it. Old Man Xia's tone was quite hard.

However, how could Xia Zhi not hear it, Old Man Xia was still willing to save face for the second son and the grandson of Erzhu. This is not only the face of Second Uncle Xia, but also the face of the Xia family.

In addition to face, that is the heart of Old Man Xia who cherishes his son and grandson.

"Master, it's okay, it's just a matter of one sentence. Besides, we won't trouble people in vain. "Every time I invite the chef of the restaurant to hold a banquet, the summer solstice will prepare something extra sufficient, no matter how the chef uses it, she will not ask, as long as the chef makes the banquet good-looking and delicious.

In addition, the summer solstice will also give the chef a rich red seal every time, and the chef will not miss the person who brings help.

"Hey......" Old Man Xia sighed, hearing Xia Zhi say this, he was still very ironed in his heart. Because of Xia Zhi's attitude, Old Man Xia is also willing to talk to her more.

"Your second uncle doesn't know who to follow. Our ancestors of the old Xia family have never had such a person, and the head of your grandmother's family is also an honest person. …… When your father and your second uncle were young, I was always at home, and your were a little used to the two of them. I didn't have much patience at the time......"

Old Man Xia talked about his youth, which made Xia Zhi can't help but think of the saying that there was a widowed education in the era before she crossed over.

Xia Zhi didn't know if Old Man Xia could be included in this label. Old Man Xia is completely responsible for supporting his family, and he also educates children, but as he himself said, he is impatient, and at the same time he doesn't have much time, the vast world outside and the people outside need him more.

Moreover, Old Man Xia still believes in his heart that his children will not be worse.

In fact, if Xia Xiucai and Second Uncle Xia go out, only from their surface, they are really extremely decent people, although Second Uncle Xia is not good at studying, but he is better than Xia Xiucai.

"Your second uncle estimates that this is the end of his life. I watched him one day with me. After that, I was gone, and Erzhu and Xiaoyang also grew up. Your second uncle is not bad, and without that bad guy leading him, he can't do anything bad. ”

won't go out to cause any big trouble, it's just to block him as a father in family affairs.

Old man Xia can be regarded as resigned to his fate.

"If you don't raise children, you don't know your parents' kindness, sixteen, you're still young. When you grow up and start a family, you will understand. ”

Xia Zhi said that Old Man Xia was right, but what he thought in his heart was that Second Uncle Xia had already started a family and became a father, but he didn't see how considerate Second Uncle Xia was for Old Man Xia.

This may be the so-called same rice to raise a hundred kinds of people, and people are very different.

There is a lot of strength in people, and the two stacks of thick paper were quickly folded into regular paper money by the women of the Xia family. Old Man Xia was still talking to Xia Zhi.

There are some family matters that he can't tell outsiders, but with such a sensible and considerate little granddaughter who can talk about it, Old Man Xia feels a lot happier in his heart.

It was Mrs. Xia who asked Mr. Xia not to say any more.

"As far as you talk about all that nonsense, what do you say to Sixteen. Sixteen little girl's family, who loves to listen to your old sesame seeds and rotten grain, it's not a pleasure!" Mrs. Xia said that the time was not early, Xia Zhi and Crescent Moon came from Fucheng to work hard, and they should rest early.

Old Man Xia nodded.

"Sixteen, I have a new bedding here, no one has used it, bring it to you and let your sister use it. "Mrs. Xia still has to move a new bedding for the summer solstice.

"Milk, no, I'll just use sixteen. I'm not that delicate, and I'm not an outsider. The crescent moon hurriedly stopped.

"How many years have you been away from home, and you finally came back, not a guest, but more valuable than a guest. Mrs. Xia smiled, she must let the crescent moon sleep on a new bedding.

The crescent moon refused anyway. In the end, it was the little black fish who spoke, saying that it would be a crescent moon.

"Mother, the crescent moon is fine. Anything. Sixteen things are also very good. ”

When he said this, Mrs. Xia put down the futon, but still smiled and counted the little black fish: "It's affordable for you." ”

"Milk, my uncle is not called affordable, this is called not treating my sister as an outsider. Xia Solstice laughed.

"Okay, okay, then I don't care, or I should say that I am an outsider when I am a crescent moon. Mrs. Xia smiled.

"My grandmother hurts my sister. Xia Solstice smiled. The crescent moon also echoed, and Mrs. Xia gave her a really kind feeling. As for the old lady Xia that Tian told her that she was not her own mother, Yue'er really didn't take it to heart.

There is no old lady Xia in her memory, let alone her own mother. Tian has never seen someone before, how could she have seen it.

What they said was lively, and Tian, as the mother of the crescent moon and the summer solstice, was still as quiet as usual.

Xia Zhi took the crescent moon back to the front yard, and Tian and Xia Xiucai walked together. Xiao Shu'er is clever, and after all, he is Tian's youngest son, so he talks to Tian and shouts one by one.

Tian first felt ironed, and then felt a little astringent in his heart. Xiao Shu'er was very close to her in front of her, but she knew that Xiao Shu'er was closer to the summer solstice in her heart, by the way, there was an extra crescent moon now.

Two sons and two daughters, in other people's mouths, just make up two good words. Once upon a time, I don't know how many people envied her and complimented her because of her identity as a talented lady.

But now none of the four children are really close to her. It's okay not to be close to her, they still hugged each other and did right with her. Look at their closeness to Mrs. Xia. Tian felt that he was poking her in the eye.

Tian was sullen.

However, her appearance has become normal outside the city, and even Xia Xiucai is a little commonplace, so she doesn't pay much attention to it.

Tian Shi walked slowly when she had something in her heart, she looked at Xia Xiucai's back, and at the same time thought of Mrs. Jiugu in Fucheng. Should she have another son with Xia Xiucai?

This son must only be close to her, just like the little black fish to protect Mrs. Xia, this son will become her reliance in the Xia family and in this world.

The summer solstice and the crescent moon go to the front yard, the Qingming solar term, the cold at night is still relatively heavy, but it is not as cold as winter. Therefore, the summer solstice is in the mood to enjoy the cold air unique to the countryside, as well as the starry night sky.

She also let the crescent moon admire.

Maybe the crescent moon still has the blood of the Zhuang people in her veins after all, and she actually likes this kind of night, such air and such a night sky.

Back in the front yard, without Mrs. Xia in front of her, Tian came over diligently to take care of the crescent moon. However, with the summer solstice, Sun Lan'er, and the little girl brought by the crescent moon, she still can't get started.

The key is that when she wants to do something, it's either the summer solstice or the crescent moon, and they always stop her. The two girls were polite, meaning that they couldn't trouble and tired her mother.

Thanks to Tian's too many scruples now, and Xiao Shu'er gaging next to him, Tian didn't have a seizure.

Xia Xiucai watched from the side, but felt that Xia Zhi and Crescent Moon were very respectful and filial to the Tian family, so he kept smiling.

"Mother, it's not early, you and my father should rest early. "Xia Zhi cleaned up, and said to Tian.

"Okay. Tian nodded happily, and then beckoned Erya to come to him, "Erya will be in this room with you today." ”

Erya was slightly stunned, but she was not qualified to question Tian's decision.

The Westinghouse is quite spacious, and it's not easy to push Erya out on the summer solstice, just live there, Tian just wants Erya to be a spy, and eavesdrop on what they say and do behind her back.

Tian arranged for Erya, and also asked Xiao Shu'er to go to the backyard to sleep with the bridge.

Usually when they are not there, there is a bridge in this yard. Now they're back, perhaps because their separation is so much of a growth. Xia Qiao seemed much more mature, he no longer wanted to sleep in the same room with Xia Xiucai and Tian, so he went to sleep in the backyard and went to the west house.

"Mother, I'll sleep with you. "Xiao Shu'er is coquettish with Tian's family.

If it had been two days ago, Tian might have been quite happy. But today Tian already had other ideas, so she ignored Xiao Shu'er.

"Looking for your brother, it's not a small boss. ”

Xiao Shu'er pouted, ran over and said to Xia Zhi and went back to the backyard. He has slept alone in Fucheng, and he has nothing to do with his brother or his mother.

Xia Zhi didn't think much about it, but knowing that Tian had taken away Xiao Shu'er, her heart suddenly moved.

Tian is like this, it can't be that he has any other thoughts. Xia Zhi calculated the age of Xia Xiucai and Tian in his heart. At the end of the year, if a woman has no health problems, she can be born until she is fifty years old, and it is not new for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to do confinement together.

However, Tian and Xia Xiucai have not had children for several years. It seems that Tian gave birth to one a few years ago, but it was gone before the confinement was born.

Tian and Xia Xiucai are going to have children, and Xia Zhi is really ......

Let's see if they come out alive or not, let's talk about it later, anyway, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth.

After a good night's sleep, early the next morning, the little black fish brought Daqing over to pick up the summer solstice and the crescent moon. He thought this was a game, and Mrs. Xia didn't stop him if she wanted to.

Of course, Xia Zhi and Crescent Moon will not be angry, they are both people who are used to getting up early. When the little black fish came, they all woke up, just lay on the bed for a while, lying in the warm bed and talking.

"Your milk gave you two eggs. Shall I bring it to you two to eat, or will you two go to the backyard to eat?" asked the little black fish loudly as she turned around in the house on the summer solstice.

"I'll have breakfast in a while, and I'll eat some eggs. "The summer solstice said.

"Let's go to the grave first, and then come back for dinner. Your grandmother said that it was cold on the mountain, and ginger and brown sugar were added to the lying eggs, so you were not afraid of the cold after eating. The little black fish said.

"Then we'll go to the backyard and eat. "The summer solstice said.

"Okay, you two hurry up. "The little black fish is impatient.

As the personal big girl of Mrs. Jiugu, she has the habit of dressing up. The little black fish was impatient with this, he thought that the crescent moon was very good, but it was far less than the summer solstice.

If you don't say goodbye, the crescent moon is definitely not as neat as the summer solstice.

The summer solstice never wears grease, paints whitewash, and dresses up eyebrows.

Yueya also felt the impatience of the little black fish, she was familiar with the summer solstice and the little black fish, and secretly chatted with the little black fish on the summer solstice.

"When the uncle grows up, he will be appointed as a daughter-in-law who loves to dress up, and he will be annoyed to death when the time comes. ”

Summer Solstice laughed.

The little black fish was inexplicable: "Sixteen, what are you laughing at?"

"I didn't laugh anything, I told my sister to hurry up, she was slow. "The summer solstice said.

The little black fish nodded, feeling that Xia Zhi was really too angry with herself.

The crescent moon said that, and the movement was much faster. After packing up, the big guys will come to the backyard together. Xia, except for the Tian family, everyone has to go to the grave today.

Everyone has a share of this lying egg, and brown sugar is added to the summer solstice and crescent moon.

"This is by the light of my niece. Second Uncle Xia was eating heavily, and he could still find time to talk.

Old Man Xia swept over at a glance, and Second Uncle Xia changed his tone and said that Old Mrs. Xia's eggs are lying well, a whole, not scattered at all, and a little sweetheart.

Xia Zhi turned his head and asked the little black fish to know that Second Uncle Xia came over in the morning and told Old Man Xia that they all listened to Old Man Xia about Erzhu and May.

"I guessed it a long time ago. Xia Zhi whispered.

Everyone gathered up neatly and went up to the grave mountain. The tomb is nearly three or four miles away from the village. They took a carriage to the foot of the mountain and then walked up the mountain.

Along the way, there were many people who swept the tombs and worshiped their ancestors. The people of the Xia family had come very early, but there were people who had already burned the paper and were on the way down the mountain.

The ancestral tomb of the Xia family is as simple as that of most Zhuang households, except that the grave circle is very well-trimmed, there is no wall, not even a tombstone.

Whoever is buried in the grave is dictated to the children and grandchildren by generations of elders.

The first time Xia Zhi and Crescent Moon came, Old Man Xia told them one by one, and asked the two of them to burn paper and kowtow in front of the grave. Old Man Xia also knelt down, and said something in his mouth, first talking about the crescent moon and the summer solstice, and then asking the ancestors to bless the few who could study at home.

After burning the paper, Old Man Xia, Xia Xiucai, Second Uncle Xia, Third Uncle Xia and Daqiao took shovels to bury the burned paper ashes. This is because of the fear that sparks in the paper ashes will cause wildfires. That's what everyone who comes to the grave does.

Then they planted soil on the graves.

"The predecessors scattered the soil, and the eyes of the later generations were lost. Old Man Xia muttered faintly.
