Chapter 352 There are many people and mixed mouths
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were happy, and everyone laughed along. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Then, Xia Zhi opened a bag and took out a few rulers from it. Two were given to Aunt Xia, and two were given to Aunt Xia. There is no difference between the four rulers.
This is to buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year for the two families.
Old Man Xia nodded lightly beside him, and he was very pleased with Xia Zhi's impartial approach.
Tian was also beside her, and she was happy to see that everyone had something, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Xia Zhi glanced at Tian and gave the remaining two rulers to Tian.
Tian only reached out and touched the ruler. She didn't say anything. Xiao Shu'er was clever, and while talking to Xia Zhi and asking Xia Zhi to make clothes for him, he happily took the ruler to himself.
Then Xia Solstice took out another brocade box to open it. The brocade box was full of silk flowers, step shakes, hairpins and beads. The summer solstice called May, July and the wax moon, and asked each of them to pick two things.
Layue didn't see Xia Zhi, jumped over to pick things happily, and asked Xia Zhi to help her choose. Xia Zhi helped Layue choose a step shake and a string of beads.
May and July were a little hesitant. Aunt Xia was afraid that the two of them would suffer a loss if they were left behind, so she gave the two of them a look. It was only in May and July that they came over, and they each picked two things in the brocade box.
If it had been placed in the past, May and July would have been ahead of the wax moon, and they would not have been so silent.
Xia Solstice felt the change in May and July, and she just didn't say anything.
Then, Xia Zhi took out another burden and handed it to Aunt Xia San. "The third uncle and third aunt have worked hard this year. ”
This is an additional benefit for Aunt Xia's family, as an employee.
Xia Zhi also explained this in front of the big guys. For example, Second Uncle Xia's family, as well as the Tian family, they didn't get up early and go to the market in Linshui Town to stall in the dark, so they didn't have their share of this welfare.
What Xia Solstice said is reasonable, and no one can find fault with it.
Old Man Xia nodded, and also said that Uncle Xia's family had worked hard. Especially during the days when Xia Zhi, Xia Qiao and Xiao Heiyuer went to Fucheng, the stall can be said to be supported by Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San.
Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San are very hardworking and not afraid of hardship, and they haven't stopped a single episode these days.
Uncle Xia San also excused himself, and then asked Aunt Xia San to accept the things.
Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia were a little greedy when they looked at them from the side. Aunt Xia's performance is especially obvious. She smiled and asked Aunt Xia San to open the burden so that the big guys could take a look.
"Sixteen is definitely a good thing. "Second Aunt Xia actually wants to see what Xia Zhi gave to Aunt Xia San.
Aunt Xia is an honest person, and she is very embarrassed, she is not good at saving Aunt Xia's face, so she opened the burden immediately.
Inside the baggage are two other bright rulers and a large green cloth, and at the top is a thin silk handkerchief, on which is tied a set of silver three things.
Second Aunt Xia became more and more greedy, so she babbled that she once had a set of silver and three things, which was better than Aunt Xia's set.
"I think it's good, my identity, this is a blessing. Aunt Xia said.
Second Uncle Xia coughed dryly twice, and gave Second Aunt Xia a look and asked her not to talk nonsense. Aunt Xia closed her mouth at this time.
Next, Xia Solstice took out two more boxes. Both boxes are filled with sweets and snacks. Xia Zhi opened it to show the big guy and handed it to Xiao Shu'er and asked him to divide it.
A few small ones were like treasures, and they went around the small tree to share sweets and snacks.
May, July, Xia Zhu and Xia Yang did not move. Xia Zhi was about to speak, and Second Aunt Xia had already pushed Xia Zhu and Xia Yang to Xiao Shu'er.
"Go quickly, the things you four sisters bought back also have your share. ”
Xia Zhi bought a lot of things and came back to share them with everyone, and she didn't plan to exclude Second Uncle Xia's family. Of course, she didn't plan on any egalitarianism.
"Go ahead. Xia Zhi said with a smile, and then let May and July pass too. Sweets and snacks are distributed in the lunar month, as well as in May and July.
As for the person who divides the candy and snacks is Xiao Shu'er, whether Xiao Shu'er will be eccentric, whether it will be a bowl of water or something, the summer solstice can't care too much, right?
The younger generation has gone to the side to divide things.
Only then did Xia Zhi point out the rest of the things to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia one by one.
The snacks and candies were all in bulk, and Xia Zhi bought high-quality fruit boxes for Old Man Xia and Old Mrs. Xia, as well as four packets of white sugar, four packs of brown sugar, two boxes of longan, two boxes of wolfberry, one box of black tea, and one box of Wuyi rock tea.
Old Man Xia is a little fond of two boxes of tea. Xia Zhi also told Mrs. Xia that soaking longan and wolfberry with brown sugar in water is not only delicious, but also able to nourish the body.
Mrs. Xia listened very carefully, and then carefully put away her things, planning to slowly soak Xia Solstice in water in the future.
In addition to these things, Xia Zhi also brought back two Jinhua hams, two jars of Jinhua wine, two baskets of citrus (Beizhen Mansion does not produce citrus, this citrus is transported from the south, which is relatively rare and precious), and two hundred catties of rice.
I didn't buy white noodles on the summer solstice, because there was still a lot of wheat left at home, and there was no shortage of white noodles to eat.
“…… Why did you buy these old things, we don't have to buy anything for the New Year. Mrs. Xia looked at it the same way, and said with emotion, she especially felt that Xia Zhi's rice was bought too much. "How much money does this cost!"
Mrs. Xia has said this sentence today, I don't know how many times.
"There's a lot of it, not much. Xia Zhi smiled, "I haven't bought pork, beef and mutton, and chickens and ducks." ”
"When the mutton comes, let the moon come to deliver it. Old Man Xia picked up the conversation, "What do you still use to buy pork and chickens and ducks outside, our family is ready-made." ”
"That's what I intended. Xia Solstice laughed.
Xia Zhi also bought a lot of cooked food, which was to add dishes to the big guy. Xia Zhi explained all these things clearly, and Mrs. Xia was busy with Aunt Xia San, and the things that should be placed were put together, and then she began to prepare meals.
Because she was worried that Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer were already hungry, Mrs. Xia also took the initiative to open a fruit box, and then she made a bowl of longan sugar water for Xia Zhi, Xia Qiao and Xiao Heiyuer according to what Xia Zhi just said, so that they could have snacks.
There are so many things, but Mrs. Xia has done nothing messy, especially taking care of Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish properly.
"My grandmother is really a capable person, and anyone can answer anything correctly. Xia Zhi smiled and praised the old lady Xia. To be honest, the average country lady is not as neat as Mrs. Xia and can take care of people.
Mrs. Xia was embarrassed, saying that Xia Zhi's mouth was sweet, so she would coax people, and then she went to the outhouse to cook food.
Old Man Xia felt that Xia Zhi was quite right. "Your milk is not an ordinary person. "Mrs. Xia's background is much better than that of ordinary Zhuang families, and her first marriage is also a big family, which can be seen in the usual line ~ of doing things.
However, of course, these words are not easy for Old Man Xia to say to Xia Zhi in detail.
Old Man Xia followed Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish to eat a piece of snack, and then asked about them in Fucheng. In fact, Old Man Xia had too many things to ask, and it was he who was so calm that he waited until now to speak.
Xia Zhi knew Old Man Xia's thoughts, and she first talked about the banquet of longevity. “…… More than a dozen tables were set up. My aunt and uncle are very popular, and almost all the neighbors on the same street have gone. ”
Mrs. Xia heard it in the outhouse, so she took the time to come into the house and ask Xia Solstice. Knowing that Aunt Xia did things beautifully, many people cheered, and the people on the Sun family's side were also satisfied, Mrs. Xia was relieved.
"My aunt and uncle said that when my eldest brother got married, you two elders said that you had to go. "In a few days, Aunt Xia and they will definitely come to officially invite Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, but Xia Zhi said this for Aunt Xia first.
Then, on to the crescent moon.
Old Man Xia is particularly concerned about this matter, although he has said a lot in the letter, but there are many things that Old Man Xia still wants to hear Xia Zhi talk about in person.
Xia Zhi carefully talked about how to recognize the crescent moon again.
Second Aunt Xia went to the outhouse to help with the work, and Second Uncle Xia sat next to him with his hands crossed, and he listened to this topic very seriously.
"Thanks to my sister having her birthmark on her wrist, it wouldn't have been so smooth. "Xia Solstice said about the crescent birthmark on the crescent moon's wrist.
It just so happened that Aunt Xia was sent in by Mrs. Xia to get things at this time. Seeing such things today, Aunt Xia was inexplicably a little excited. She wants to curry favor with the summer solstice.
"It's fate. Sixteen's life is good, and he always meets nobles. If someone else's child is sold, even if he lives, he will not suffer much. Although the crescent moon family is said to be a girl, it is better than other people's daughters. We are just unlucky to come back in trouble, or your second uncle and I will be able to recognize the crescent moon......" Second Aunt Xia stood under the kang and said to Xia Zhi with a smile.
Xia Zhi didn't take Aunt Xia's words to heart at first, but after hearing it, she heard something meaningful.
"Second aunt, do you mean that you met my crescent sister before?" Xia Zhi asked Second Aunt Xia.
Second Uncle Xia just wanted to stop Second Aunt Xia, but Second Aunt Xia's desire to please Xia Zhi was too eager, and she was too involved in her words, so she didn't receive his signal at all.
Now that Xia Zhi heard the flaw, Second Uncle Xia couldn't deny it, so he could only make up for it with a smile.
“…… When I went to the temple, I looked at a girl from the Tian family from a distance, and looked at the special face, I went back and talked to the child and his mother about Da Yue'er, I said can it be Da Yue'er. The child's mother said it was unlikely. I thought, there is one in ten thousand hopes, then we have to try......"
Second Uncle Xia told Xia Zhi and Old Man Xia that he had tried to inquire about Da Yue'er, but "the threshold of the Tian family is high", and before he could inquire about anything, something happened.
Old Man Xia was very careful, so he asked Second Uncle Xia the specific day when he met the crescent moon. Second Uncle Xia didn't say it too clearly, but Xia Zhi quickly calculated this day.
In the matter of the crescent moon, I am afraid that Second Uncle Xia did not tell the truth. This is the judgment of the summer solstice. However, the matter has passed, and even if Second Uncle Xia had any original plans, it is impossible now.
Xia Zhi thought about it for a while, and then put this matter down.
Second Uncle Xia peeked at Xia Zhi and Old Man Xia, and when he saw that neither of them seemed to have any suspicions, he immediately relieved himself. Then, he had the same plan as Aunt Xia.
“…… Still sixteen is blessed. Sixteen, this time the second uncle and the second aunt suffered something, and it was also thanks to you. The second uncle and second aunt are grateful to you. In the future, the second uncle and second aunt will have to rely on your support. …… Sixteen, you see, your second aunt and I are idle now......"
Old Man Xia glanced at Second Uncle Xia, and then interrupted Second Uncle Xia's words. "Of course you have to thank Sixteen. Without sixteen, you can still sit here today, and your head would have moved a long time ago. ”
Second Uncle Xia didn't mean to mention his downfall, he wanted Xia Zhi to take him to make a fortune, so he had to mention it.
But Old Man Xia didn't think so.
"You'll leave that later. You can't just get by with a few words. Old Man Xia glared at Second Uncle Xia again.
Second Uncle Xia didn't dare to speak.
Old Man Xia asked Xia Zhi to continue to talk about the crescent moon.
Xia Zhi told Old Man Xia in detail about Mrs. Jiugu's collection of crescent moon as her goddaughter, mainly because of the things that were inconvenient to mention in the letter.
"We've met good people. This is also the blessing of the crescent moon. …… Sixteen, you did the right thing, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay others in this life. Our family owes a debt to others. Old man Xia was very emotional, "There are people in this world who have such good hearts, but it's a pity that ......"
The latter words were not said by Old Man Xia, he was thinking of the fact that Mrs. Jiugu was widowed and had no children under her knees.
Xia Zhi and Old Man Xia mentioned Mrs. Jiugu once, and Second Uncle Xia's eyes lit up, and he didn't know whether he was thinking of something or thinking about something.
After that, Xia Zhi talked about Xia Xiucai's presence in the academy, and Xia Xiucai's return until the end of the year. There is also the matter of the little black fish going to Wenshan Academy to study next year, everything is ready.
She didn't mention anything about the summer solstice with her lips, and she didn't mention it at all about joining Tian Qi's fleet.
Old Man Xia asked Xia Zhi some more words, and Old Lady Xia had already prepared all the meals.
"Eat first, eat dinner. Mrs. Xia went into the house to sweep the kang and put it on the dining table.
This meal was for Xia Zhi, Xia Qiao and Little Black Fish, and they were still eaten as a family. Old Man Xia also asked Second Uncle Xia to call Guo Xi's family.
After eating, Second Uncle Xia seemed to have something to say to Xia Zhi, and Guo Xi and the three of them also wanted to come over to talk to Xia Zhi.
Old Man Xia also continued the topic with Xia Zhi.
Mrs. Xia stopped all the big guys, including Mr. Xia.
"Sixteen just came back and had dinner for her to rest. She has to spend the New Year at home, and she can finish saying as many words as she wants, so why hurry!" Mrs. Xia is distressed about Xia Zhi's words.
Old Man Xia nodded, let Xia Zhi go back and have a good rest, and talk about other things slowly.
Xia Zhi knew it, and she slowly came out of the backyard.
Layue and Xiao Xia Lin stuck to each other like little tails.
