Chapter 194: Tian's Intentions
The oil residue was fished into the basin by Xia Zhi, and then she took the basin into the house to discuss with Mrs. Xia. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Milk, do you think these oil residues are enough to make dumplings?"
Mrs. Xia had just reconciled the noodles, she looked at the oil residue in the basin, and nodded with a smile and said, "Enough, enough." โ
Xia Zhi smiled: "Such old people eat." I see that my third aunt picked bad beans. If there is less meat, I am afraid it will not taste good. It's rare for us to make a white flour dumpling, we can't waste it, right?"
"You kid. Mrs. Xia was laughed at by Xia Zhi, "If you want to add more meat, then add it." It's up to you, and it's all right. โ
"Milk, then you can help me see, how much meat is appropriate?" Xia Zhi led Mrs. Xia to the outhouse, and the two discussed, cut the pork belly they bought back in half, chopped it into minced meat, and put it in the pot to boil the oil first. Originally, it was okay to make stuffing with raw meat, but because of the cooked meat scraps, the meat naturally had to be boiled.
The meat filling here was done, Mrs. Xia added seasoning by herself, and Aunt Xia took Layue and Sun Lan'er to use a chopping board respectively, and began to cut beans quickly.
At this time, I heard the sound of footsteps in the yard, and Tian was late with the eldest girl and the second girl.
But they did come.
Mrs. Xia gave Aunt Xia a look. Aunt Xia put down the kitchen knife in her hand, and went outside the door to welcome Tian, the eldest girl, and the second girl into the door.
"Here it is, eldest daughter-in-law. Although Mrs. Xia didn't go out to greet her, she greeted Tian first.
"Ah, here it is. Tian's face was a little stiff, she was still a little upright, but she didn't look at people with her chin like she used to.
After speaking, Tian's eyes swept around the hall. At this glance, she looked at everything in her eyes, and secretly said in her heart that the preparation was quite rich.
Tian rolled up his sleeves and said that she would also help with the work.
Aunt Xia San hurriedly stopped her: "Sister-in-law, we can do this little work, you don't need to touch your hands, sister-in-law." Sister-in-law, take the two children and sit in the room. โ
Tian knew that Old Man Xia was in the house, so he was reluctant to go into the house and insisted on helping with the work. The eldest girl and the second girl are used to working at home, and they are still more eye-catching, and at this time they have already rushed to be helpers for Layue and Sun Lan'er.
Xia Zhi opened his mouth to Tian: "Mother, you are not in a hurry to work. My grandfather is in the house, you can say hello to my grandfather first. โ
"What's this greeting? Tian muttered quietly.
This time, no one paid attention to her. Old Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia both lowered their heads and worked, as if they hadn't heard Tian's words.
Xia Zhi urged Tian again: "Say hello, isn't this what should be divided." Mother, I'll take you there. โ
Saying this, Xia Zhi put down the work in his hand and led the Tian family into the house. Tian still resisted a little, but he didn't resist either.
When he entered the house and saw Old Man Xia sitting on the kang, Tian's face twitched. However, under Xia Zhi's gaze, she still opened her mouth.
"Old man. โ
Still not called Dad, but only Old Man.
But she finally opened her mouth to call the old man. Although Xia Zhi was still not satisfied, Old Man Xia did not plan to worry about these trivial matters with the Tian family.
"It's here, it's good to be here. Did the two children bring it?" Old Man Xia's face was relatively kind, and his tone of voice was also very gentle.
"Brought. Tian said, while beckoning the eldest girl and the second girl to come into the house, saluted Old Man Xia, and then let them go out to continue working.
"Old man, then I'll help with the work. "No matter what, in front of Old Man Xia, the Tian family is still uncomfortable.
Old Man Xia naturally knew that he didn't keep the Tian family, so he let the Tian family out.
Xia Zhi stayed behind and didn't leave, and she smiled at Old Man Xia.
Old Man Xia also smiled, it was the kind of smile that was very satisfied, relieved, and very happy. No matter what Tian's idea is, she is willing to come over today, which is a good thing.
And this change of the Tian family, Old Man Xia feels that it is all due to the summer solstice.
The old man knew that Tian would not listen to what he said. However, Xia Zhi seems to have mastered the correct way to deal with the Tian clan. Then in the future, the task of controlling the Tian clan will be handed over to Xia Zhi.
"Sixteen, those who can work harder. "Let Sixteen worry about these things, Old Man Xia can't help it. He made up his mind that he would be good to the summer solstice in the future and compensate for the summer solstice in other aspects.
Xia Zhi smiled and didn't speak, then turned around and went back to the hall.
With so many people doing it, many of them have done all the preparations. The men of the Xia family don't cook, and they can't cook. Old Man Xia saw that Mrs. Xia led the big guy into the house to make dumplings, so he got off the kang and called Uncle Xia to go to the field.
Xia Qiao also followed. The little black fish took Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xialin to the Hetao.
"Come back early. Old Lady Xia shouted at the back of the little black fish, "Don't go into the deep water." โ
The little black fish didn't reply, but raised his hand: "Got it." โ
In a blink of an eye, he ran out of the yard with Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xia Lin and disappeared.
Mrs. Xia laughed and sighed again, she really couldn't do anything about this naughty son.
Old Man Xia is not there, and the Tian family is much more comfortable. Slowly, she also chatted with Mrs. Xia.
โโฆโฆ Who makes it difficult for her father and mother, and there is a big brother who also needs to be taken care of. This big family, don't expect their dowry, what else can you expect...... "For the matter of exchanging the eldest girl and the second girl for a bride price, the Tian family is natural and justified.
Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia didn't speak.
They also know that although the Xia family will not do such a thing, there are actually a lot of things like this to exchange their daughters for bride price. Xia Zhi listened to it next to him, and he also felt a little helpless.
Not to mention this era when children can be used as finances, even if she traveled through the previous era, there were also things like exchanging her daughter for a bride price to build a house for her brother to marry a daughter-in-law.
Tian opened the conversation box and began to talk non-stop.
โโฆโฆ entrusted it to me, saying that we are living a good life here. The two of them came out of that ravine, and they could have a few days of good life in the future. But I know a few people, and if I want to find better relatives for the two girls, I can only ask people everywhere. โ
"The second girl can wait for a year or two, but the eldest girl can't wait. โ
"Old lady, his third aunt, do you know any family that wants to marry. You see, these two girls are okay, they can both work and endure hardships. It's just that the bride price is more prepared, and their families urgently need it. โ
It turned out that this was the real reason why Tian was finally willing to bow his head slightly and come to the backyard.
She wanted to use the connections of the Xia family to find a suitable in-law for the eldest and second girls as soon as possible. Although Sun Wang said that he could help, Tian was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he refused to give up the Xia family. After all, the eldest girl's family affairs, Old Man Tian can be urged.
However, Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia had long known the Tian family's plans. To decide on these two girls, it is not simply to prepare more bride price.
The people of the Lao Tian family who are backing on the mountain can squeeze money on their daughters and aunts, and they are deeply touched.
If anyone marries these two girls, you will have to be like Xia Xiucai in the future to fill the bottomless pit of the Tian family.
There is no big hatred, they can match others with such family affairs.
"I can't really think of any suitable people in front of me. Old Mrs. Xia knew that this matter had to be answered to Tian, so she said with a smile.
Aunt Xia San hurriedly agreed.
Tian was very disappointed, and his face was brought out.
Xia Zhi smiled secretly, did she still expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would be able to find a suitable person for her to marry the eldest girl and the second girl, but she also thought about things too subjectively.
However, Mrs. Xia never wants to offend people. As if she hadn't seen Tian's face, she said with a smile: "I think the two girls are also very good, the big guy will slowly scan it for you." The children's family affairs must not be too sloppy. โ
Tian replied vaguely, although he was a little dissatisfied, he did not resent Mrs. Xia because of this. In Tian's opinion, Mrs. Xia is such a soft ~ soft character, far less decisive than her.
The daughters-in-law of the two stepsons have different temperaments, but they are all the same difficult to get along with, and it is not easy for Mrs. Xia to achieve this level.
"The old man has a ...... of Guangyou," after a pause, Tian said again.
If you want to find a suitable in-law for the eldest and second girl as soon as possible, there is hope for Old Man Xia to go out. Fang Cai Tian asked Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia San, but there was no hope. That's just foreshadowing, and now mentioning Old Man Xia is what she wants to say today.
Mrs. Xia laughed.
"Milk, what are you laughing at? Xia Solstice asked.
"You don't know. You~ Master, usually people ask him to help him talk about anything, and he can help people mediate things. But in his life, he has never been a matchmaker. โ
Mrs. Xia smiled and told the big guy that Mr. Xia also tried to match people to do family affairs, but in the end none of them succeeded.
Of course, the family affair in June doesn't count, and the family affair Mr. Xia is not a matchmaker, but a parent. Moreover, because of the family affair in June, Old Man Xia is still complaining about Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia.
Mrs. Xia gave a few examples, and finally came to the conclusion that Mr. Xia and the matchmaker were in conflict, or in other words, Mr. Xia did everything else, but he didn't have the talent to be a matchmaker.
"Let her be the matchmaker, then wait for Huang. Don't you see that no one has been looking for him in the past few years? โ
Daxingzhuang does have a private saying, saying that Old Man Xia must be yellow as a matchmaker.
"His temper is not the temper of a matchmaker. In the end, Mrs. Xia said with emotion.
Mrs. Xia told the truth, and her attitude and tone were very sincere. Tian was disappointed and dissatisfied in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't blame Mrs. Xia.
Tian was a little sullen.
"Mother, I see that Aunt Sun has been whispering to you for the past two days. Is she going to be a matchmaker for my eldest sister and second sister?" Xia Zhi asked deliberately.
"Huh?" Tian was taken aback, and quickly glanced at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi had a smile on his face, concentrating on making dumplings, as if he was just asking casually.
Tian's heart was slightly wider, and he said that Sun Wang's was very enthusiastic: "I knew that I was going to find my mother-in-law for the eldest and second girls, so I specially told me to help me touch and touch." I think I know those people, and I heard that she knows a lot of people, so let her help me touch them, what if...... , these two girls in my mother's family, I don't have anything to pick. โ
The main thing is the bride price.
Although Tian said the bride price very confidently, he concealed that he might give the eldest and second girls a small plan. It seems that Tian himself understands that it is not a decent thing. If she said it, these people in the Xia family would definitely be disgusted and would not agree with her approach.
She doesn't say it, and it's hard for everyone to find out.
Soon the dumplings were wrapped. Beizhen Mansion eats steamed dumplings here, and rarely eats boiled dumplings. Xia Zhi is very happy about this, she likes steamed dumplings, but she doesn't like to cook dumplings.
The two large iron pots were fired at the same time, and two large curtains were steamed first, and they were both picked up and filled in large basins, and then two small curtains were steamed. The second pot of dumplings was steamed, and Mrs. Xia looked towards the gate.
Old Man Xia, as well as Little Black Fish, and a few of them should also come back.
"I told him that he would not come back at the hour. Mrs. Xia complained to Xia Zhi, "You~ Master don't want to come back as soon as you get off the ground, you have to be urged and invited." He simply got it for a long time. โ
Layue volunteered to go to the field to find Old Man Xia and Third Uncle Xia.
"Go ahead, be careful on the road. Mrs. Xia nodded in agreement.
Layue trotted all the way away.
"Then I'll call my uncle. "The summer solstice said.
"Go and call him, and he will come back with you. Mrs. Xia smiled.
Sun Lan'er accompanied the summer solstice. When Xia Zhi came to the Hetao, she didn't go far, she only picked a high hill to stand still, and then pulled her throat and began to shout: "Uncle, go home for dinner." โ
The Hetao is very empty, and the sound of the summer solstice can be transmitted far away. Moreover, there are many children playing in the water in the loop. When they hear it, they will convey it one by one, and they will always let the little black fish know.
Whenever there is a meal, there are always a few people here in the Hetao who call their children like this.
Xia Zhi thinks this way is quite fun. So, she shouted a few more times.
"Xia Yunlong, your niece told you to go home for dinner. I don't know whose Tao boy shouted, and suddenly made Xia Zhi laugh.
"It's coming, it's coming. Soon, Xia Solstice heard the voice of the little black fish, and then she saw the little black fish.
The little black fish carried a big fish with a wicker in his hand, and walked over with the little tree and the little Xia Lin wading through the water.
"Sixteen, why are you calling me?" Before he could get to the front, the little black fish asked in a loud voice.
"My grandmother is afraid that you will play wild, and you will not go back when others come. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
"Then how can we, we remember to eat dumplings later. Xiao Shu'er hurriedly replied.
The little black fish walked up to Xia Solstice and raised the fish in her hand to show her: "Sixteen, look at the fish I caught for you." โ

The one who shouted Tao Boy to go home for dinner is not as gentle and loving as the summer solstice, n(*โงโฝโฆ*)n
