Old man Tian always said that Tian Dabaoding's daughter-in-law was short of money, but in fact, many times he used this as an excuse to collect money. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xia Zhi had already seen this clearly, and she didn't believe that the Tian family and the eldest girl couldn't see it. If you can't see it once, you can't see it twice, and if you can't see it again after many times, it's not that you can't see it, but you ignore it selectively.

After all, they are all aunts and grandmothers of the Lao Tian family who are backing the mountain, and they have been brainwashed and educated since they were children, so they will do whatever it takes to generate income for their parents? !

Xia Zhi put down the last sentence, went back to the West House and put on another cloak, and then went to the backyard with the little black fish. Xia Qiao didn't move, and Xiao Shu'er immediately followed.

When he arrived in the backyard, without waiting for Xia Zhi to say it himself, Old Man Xia asked with concern what was going on. Xia Zhi didn't hide it, so he learned Tian's meaning and her words to Old Man Xia.

Old Man Xia sighed for a while, and then told Xia Zhi that she had done a very good job.

"Thanks to you in the front yard, otherwise I don't know what will happen to the Lao Tian family who let them rely on the mountain. Hey, I won't say much else. If there is no such thing in the future, then dare to be kind. If there is any more, you don't have to tell you ~ mother anything, you just let you ~ mother come to me. ”

Xia Zhi treats the Tian family like this, and resolutely and resolutely backs the Tian family for the sake of the Xia family, and to a large extent, it is also for herself. Old Man Xia can understand and support her like this, and she also feels very ironed in her heart.

"Okay, master, then let's settle it. As soon as my mother mentioned this to me, I got angry and felt uncomfortable. ”

Old Man Xia and Old Mrs. Xia were busy arranging the summer solstice, asking her not to go to her heart, and to think more about happy things and so on. In the end, Mr. Xia also said that Mrs. Xia would make more delicious food for Xia Zhi.

"Are you full in the morning, what do you want to eat, let your milk make it for you. Old Man Xia said happily.

Mrs. Xia nodded again and again and asked Xia Zhi what she wanted to eat.

Xia Zhi smiled and asked Mrs. Xia if the sea cucumber was ready.

"It's done. Sixteen, the ginseng you bought is really good, you see that it is so big. Mrs. Xia brought the sea cucumber to Xia Zhi.

Since the sea cucumber has been issued, Xia Zhi said that he should simply make Bazhen tofu. She brought back a lot of dried seafood from Fucheng, and there are all kinds of mushrooms and mountain delicacies at home, and the raw materials for making Bazhen tofu are complete.

At noon, Xia Zhi personally cooked a dish of Bazhen Tofu.

To test a person's cooking skills, sometimes all you need to do is ask her to make a dish of tofu. The summer solstice's Bazhen tofu was made with great effort, and it was greatly praised when it was brought to the table.

Old man Xia praised the bright and delicious dish of the summer solstice, but Mrs. Xia said that this dish is troublesome, and it is rare to make it on the summer solstice. The little black fish feasted on it with satisfaction.

"Our tofu is better than Fucheng. Xia Zhi himself said.

"Then let's order a few more plates of tofu this year. Old Man Xia said to Old Mrs. Xia, "When the time comes, give the Sixteen Cities to eat slowly." ”

Even in such a cold winter, fresh tofu cannot be stored for a long time. Old man Xia said that it was naturally frozen tofu.

Summer Solstice loves to eat frozen tofu.

"I'll take a few bones out and melt them in a moment. In the evening, stew sauerkraut with more frozen tofu. You all love this. Mrs. Xia said with a smile.

Outside, there is a row of large clay pots under the windowsill, and the others are empty, leaving frozen dumplings, and only one is full of them, that is, frozen tofu and frozen pork.

Now that the Xia family's life is better, frozen tofu is often eaten, but pork is still not eaten often. Now it's because the summer solstice and the little black fish are back, and it's either fish or meat at the dinner table.

Mrs. Xia is now satisfied, and every day she either gives them a few needles and threads, or ponders and eats for them. Mrs. Xia took a look at the Bazhen Tofu just now, and gave Xia Zhi a start, and she had already learned almost everything. The next time I want to make this dish, I shouldn't have to do it on the summer solstice.

After dinner, I stayed in the backyard for a long time, and only returned to the front yard after dark on the summer solstice. Little Black Fish wanted to be her companion, but she didn't agree, and she didn't take Daqing.

Xia Zhi believed that the Tian family would not do anything to her. In some ways, Tian has always been a smart person.

Tian saw that Xia Solstice was back, and sure enough, he said that he was back, and then there was nothing else to say. Summer Solstice was as if nothing had happened, and she sent Xiao Shu'er to the East House and went back to the West House by herself.

Sun Lan'er had already packed up and was waiting for her while doing needlework under the lamp.

Xia Zhi came back with a ruler, Sun Lan'er wanted to make new clothes for herself for the New Year, and she also had to help Xia Zhi do needlework.

"Sister Lanzi, take a break, don't burn your eyes. You can make your clothes as soon as possible so that they can be worn for the New Year, and mine is not in a hurry. "The clothes of the summer solstice can be done or not, and she has enough clothes for the New Year.

"This light is so bright, how can it burn the eyes. I don't have this light at home, so I should embroider or embroider. Sun Lan'er said with a smile, while she had already gone down to the ground to help Xia Solstice fetch water to wash, and then poured a large wooden basin of hot water for Xia Solstice to soak her feet.

After winter, the Xia family has this habit, that is, to soak their feet in hot water before going to bed. It's a sign of love for cleanliness. This is not the case in other seasons, when the weather is warm, and you can wash your feet casually.

Xia Zhi likes this habit very much, because it is in line with the way of health preservation. If you soak your feet and then go to sleep, you will sleep more soundly. Zhuanghu pays attention to cat winter in winter. After a winter of recuperation, another year of work will begin in good spirits.

On the summer solstice, I soaked my feet on the kang and read a book under the lamp. Sun Lan'er continued to do needlework, and she also told Xia Zhi: "Xiu'er saw that I was doing needlework for you, and asked me if I could share it with her, she said that she was idle every day, and she was just looking for something to do." ”

Sun Lan'er is talking about Sun Xiu'er, who has been here once in the past two days. She loved the trinkets that the summer solstice gave her. Things may not be very expensive, but Xia Zhi can still think of her when he comes back from Fucheng, that is, he treats her as his own.

Xia Zhi watched under the lamp for a while and said, Sun Lan'er also did needlework for a while, and the two girls turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The next day is the big set in Linshui Town, and Xia Zhi still followed Uncle Xia San and them to the stall early in the morning, and Xia Qiao still helped out at the stall as soon as he came back.

Nothing has changed from before.

After helping out at the stall for a long time, Xia Zhi went to the grocery store again. During her absence, Uncle Xia San has been doing things according to the rules she set, and everything is going well.

When I came back from the stall, Xia Zhi naturally bought a lot of things.

At noon that day, it was still a big family dinner, but the number of people was almost twice as many as before, because there were still two uncles Xia's family and Guo Xi's family of three.

Old Man Xia has been very strict in urging Second Uncle Xia to work these days, although he didn't let his family go out with him, but he didn't let them do the rough work of preparing for chores at home.

Therefore, this meal, Second Uncle Xia and these people cannot be completely regarded as eating white food.

After a full meal, everyone dispersed, but Second Uncle Xia did not leave. In front of Xia Zhi, he accompanied Xiao and mentioned Xia Zhu's family affairs to Old Man Xia.

"You don't have to make a big deal of it, everything is up to you. That day, I discussed with Guo Xi and the two of them, and they were also happy. It's good that we got things done a few years ago. ”

Old Man Xia understood very well in his heart, but he still didn't agree at the moment, only saying that Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan were still young, and they were not in a hurry about getting married.

Xia Zhu is only eleven years old, younger than Xia Zhi. Although Guo Yuhuan is one year older, it is rare to be a daughter-in-law at the age of twelve.

Second Uncle Xia was a little anxious: "Dad, I am too, I am also ......" He glanced around, there was no one else in the room, except for him and Old Man Xia, it was Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish.

"Dad, I'm not afraid of chickens and eggs. Second Uncle Xia lowered his voice and said to Old Man Xia, "Dad, you can't know what kind of people Guo Xi and his family are, they are snobbish, they hate the poor and love the rich." When I was in a hurry to be our second pillar's daughter-in-law, I saw that I could borrow my light. Now we still have something to borrow from others, I'm afraid that this daughter-in-law will run away. In the future, I have to set a daughter-in-law for Erzhu......"

Old Man Xia knows that Guo Xi and Guo Xi's daughter-in-law are not very good. But the daughter-in-law set by his grandson, he still looks at it highly, and Guo Yuhuan is not bad, and he will come to trouble with his sweet mouth. Old Man Xia also admitted this family business.

He also didn't want to be like Second Uncle Xia said.

However, he also understood Second Uncle Xia's little abacus, so he didn't agree for a long time. Even if Second Uncle Xia said so, Old Man Xia still didn't change his mind.

"Let me think about it again, Erzhu and Yuhuan are still young, so don't worry. If you want to do something, you have to do what you have prepared!"

Second Uncle Xia was said to have a heart disease, so he subconsciously glanced at Xia Zhi secretly.

Xia Zhi took this book to tell Xiao Heiyuer about the above intentions, and he didn't seem to notice what Second Uncle Xia and Old Man Xia said at all.

But Second Uncle Xia didn't dare to think so. Xia Zhi's temper, he can be regarded as a better understanding.

"You go back first, and then you come back with them to pick up more firewood." ”

Old Man Xia drove the sullen Second Uncle Xia away, and then said to Old Mrs. Xia, who came back from outside: "The second child is in a hurry to do the matter of the second pillar, he is penniless now, and he has nothing, this is the plan for me to handle it." ”

"Then you'll take care of it. Old Mrs. Xia was faint.

"It's all separated, I'll handle it for him, what will the next few grandchildren do? The second pillar is only eleven, and the new year is only twelve, so I have to rush to do it at this time, and I can't wait until next year when there is a harvest in his field?

"What do you care about the future? The children in the family have a clear temperament. You do it for Erzhu, you don't care about others, and a few children can't fight. Mrs. Xia said.

Mrs. Xia said this very artistically.

Old Man Xia smacked and sighed. "The second child is too worry-free. No profit, waste. ”

Mrs. Xia took out a needlework basket and began to make needlework. She wants to make a pair of cotton shoes for Xiao Heiyuer and Xia Zhi, as well as needlework for Li Xia, all of which have to be made before the year.

Xia Solstice continues to tell stories to the little black fish.

Everyone didn't talk to Old Man Xia.

Old Man Xia sat cross-legged for a long time, and finally sighed again: "You can't indulge him like this." ”

Xia Zhi saw that Old Man Xia had expressed his attitude and made a decision, so she put down the scroll in her hand and spoke. "My second uncle's temper is not very reassuring. Erzhu is also a little floating, and he learned a lot of bad things from those people in Fucheng, if he can change it slowly, he will be able to have a bowl of rice to eat in the future. If you don't change it, it will be a disaster in the future. ”

What Xia Zhi said was very simple, but Old Man Xia immediately understood Xia Zhi's attitude.

"Sixteen, you're right. The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting. In the future, they don't want to go anywhere, I just look at the two of them, and I have to break them back. ”

Xia Zhi tested Old Man Xia's opinion on Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan's family affairs again, and knew that Old Man Xia recognized this family business, so she made a deal with Old Man Xia.

"Don't be afraid of chickens flying and eggs, Guo Yuhuan can't run. Now they live on us, and it will be the same in the future. Master, my second uncle told them that he wanted to do something, why did you agree so happily when they did?"

That's not because they are living on the Xia family now.

"The Guo family still has a house and a shop, without us, they can't go back to their home, and the shop and house are not theirs. "The reason why Guo Xi's houses and shops have not been confiscated is because Xia Zhi has left the relationship with the Jiang family.

And Guo Xi and they want to get back the shop and the house, and they have to come forward on the summer solstice.

So the summer solstice made Old Man Xia relax. She also gave Old Man Xia a long-term vision: "Erzhu speaks and does things reliably, he and Yuhuan have become relatives, so I will go to find someone, so that they can return to Fucheng, have a ready-made place to live, and open the shop again......"

In this way, Xia Zhu's livelihood in this life will not have to worry.

The expression on Old Man Xia's face was slightly complicated.

"Don't think about it, sir. In this matter, my second uncle and two aunts, Erzhu, Guo Xijia, Yuhuan, no one owes anyone. ”

Old Man Xia nodded, his grandson can live well in the future, and he is also willing. What moved him even more was that Xia Zhi thought so far and thought of this step, this is really for the sake of Second Uncle Xia's family and Xia Zhu, although Xia Zhi usually has a light attitude towards Second Uncle Xia's family, and he has no good face towards Xia Zhu.

"Sixteen, it's hard for you to ......" Old Man Xia, a person who can speak well, was a little speechless at this time. The key is that he feels that no matter what he says, he can't match Xia Zhi's thoughts about his family.

"Master, this is all our family. I don't care if it's anyone else. Xia Zhi smiled.

"Your second uncle is a drag on people. Hey, they don't know what to do in the future, and I will discipline them. Old man Xia made up his mind, and he was even more energetic, he had prepared no less than four or five plans in his heart at the moment, and he wanted to readjust ~ the second son's family well, sternly.

Second Uncle Xia's life after that was in dire straits, and he couldn't understand why his father, who was always soft on him, suddenly became so hard-hearted.
