Chapter 305: Mao Fan'er
In the evening, Old Man Xia came back from outside. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info drank a bowl of mung bean wool powder that Mrs. Xia gave him, and Old Man Xia suddenly felt that his heart and stomach were ironed. Next, he talked about going out to change food today.
That is, how many catties of big yellow rice, small yellow rice, and how many catties of peanuts have been exchanged. Then, Old Man Xia's face was a little sneering, he took a look at the hole, and saw that Xia Zhi and several people had gone to the side, so he told Old Mrs. Xia how many catties of wheat he had exchanged for someone. The other party exchanged sorghum rice for one and a half catties.
Xia Solstice heard it next to him, so he didn't say anything. In this matter, Mr. Xia specially told Mrs. Xia that there must be a reason.
Sure enough, Old Lady Xia frowned slightly. "Is Widow Sun's family going to change?"
"It's his house. Old man Xia laughed together.
"I said that other people's families don't have the face to take advantage of this. Mrs. Xia sneered. One and a half catties of sorghum rice for one catty of wheat, the other party really took advantage, and there is no such exchange method on the market.
"Hey......" Old Man Xia stopped him, not letting Mrs. Xia say this, "She pulls a few children by herself, and it is not easy to live a poor life." All year round, a large family can't eat a meal of white noodles. If we don't have it, forget it, we don't have it. …… It's nothing in our ......."
"It's nothing, it's also earned by the children's hard work and sweat. Mrs. Xia involuntarily provided a voice, "Why are you so confused?" If she's honest, I won't say anything. She just watches people put down dishes, just to see that you are soft-hearted and thin-skinned, and you can't wipe it off......"
Old Man Xia was not happy, and whispered a few words to Old Mrs. Xia, and then went to the back vegetable garden.
Mrs. Xia had a calm face, and she didn't care where Mr. Xia went.
The children all felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and Xia Zhi smiled secretly in his heart, and quietly came out with the big guy. She also took a look at the backyard vegetable garden. Old Man Xia took off his outer gown, only wore a close-fitting moon-white cardigan on his upper body, and was preparing the ground in the backyard.
Old man Xia is good at this, he doesn't hit people when he gets angry, he doesn't drop things, he goes to work alone silently.
Seeing that Old Man Xia was fine, Xia Zhi played in the yard for a while, and then came to the house.
Old Lady Xia no longer has a calm face. She also asked Xia Zhi if she knew where Old Man Xia had gone.
"My grandfather works in the backyard. Xia Zhi said, "Milk, are you angry with my grandfather?"
"What's angry, it's not worth it. Mrs. Xia sighed softly, and then told Xia Zhi about it. This widow Xia Zhi has also seen it, and she doesn't look good, but she is quite eloquent, and she can be regarded as a hero among the women's group.
According to the people in the village, Widow Sun is just a bad life, and she will return the man. She married two men, but within a few years of getting married, the man fell ill and died. Now she has a son and two daughters by her side, and the eldest daughter was born to her previous husband.
Because there was no labor at home, Widow Sun's life was not very good. But she is very good-natured, and the well-wishers in the village often send her some things, in fact, she can still live a good life.
The problems that Mrs. Xia said, Widow Sun probably has. However, Mrs. Xia was still soft-hearted.
"Let's change it, she is a woman's family, and it is indeed not easy to bring three children. …… I'm not distressed, I'm not that kind of person. It's that person's temper, and I don't like it a little bit......"
Mrs. Xia is such a kind person, but there are also people who don't deal with it.
Old Man Xia was working in the backyard and came back sweating. Mrs. Xia saw that his coat outside was just on, so she was anxious, afraid that Old Man Xia would catch a cold and get sick.
Mrs. Xia hurriedly took care of Mr. Xia, and the little contradiction in exchanging food disappeared.
This is husband and wife, wife and children, this is life. The summer solstice is enlightened.
From the moon to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the August Festival is the reunion festival, and the old man Xia has already sent a letter to Xia Xiucai in Fucheng, hoping that Xia Xiu can go home to celebrate the August Festival. Xia Xiucai only brought back a letter in the past two days, saying that Li Shanchang had granted leave, and he was expected to return home on August 14.
At this moment, Old Man Xia was very happy. He also specially convened the big guys to discuss the holiday.
This year, the days of the Xia family are thriving, and in the harvest season, a large family is reunited. Old man Xia meant, this August festival has to be spent well.
Simpler etiquette, the reunion dinner of the August Festival, it must be extraordinarily rich.
The summer solstice also has this meaning.
"The big guys are busy these days, I went out to harvest cotton, and the family affairs are thanks to my father, my third uncle, third aunt, and my brother running errands for me. Now that the cotton has been sent to Fucheng, let's just wait to count the money, I just want to hold a table banquet, thank you guys......"
Everyone laughed, so that Xia Solstice didn't have to be thankful. It's all a family, and it's too foreign to say thank you.
"That's the celebration feast. "The summer solstice is as good as flowing.
When she said this, naturally no one would have any objections.
"You mothers can do it. If you want to kill chickens and find me, if you want to run errands or something, just find your third uncle and your brother. Old Man Xia said with a smile.
And so it was settled.
Xia Zhi, Mrs. Xia, Aunt Xia, Layue and Tian got together to discuss the menu of the August Festival reunion dinner.
Xia Zhi first said: "On the way back, I met my brother Yuelai, and I estimated that the sheep would be delivered in two days." We must have a pot for this table, just mutton. ”
Everyone nodded.
Then Mrs. Xia said that she wanted to kill the chicken. Because there are so many people, you have to kill two chickens at a time. These two chickens, one from Xia Zhi's family and one from Aunt Xia's family, are to make the famous chicken stew with mushrooms in Beizhen Mansion.
"There have to be fish ......"
Speaking of fish, the old man of the Chen family asked someone to bring a letter to ask a few days ago, and if Xia Zhi said that he wanted a cart of fish, it didn't count. That's the count, of course, but not one car, but two.
But the fish won't be delivered until after the festival.
They still have to go to Linshui Town to buy fish for the holidays.
"Just make the sweet and sour fish that I have done sixteen, and that intention is good. Mrs. Xia said again. When frying fish, the carp tail is swam in a posture and the carp jumps over the dragon gate, which is a very popular dish.
Everyone, you and I said a word, and finally ordered twenty-four dishes, both cold and hot stir-fried.
Xia Zhi called Xia Qiao over, wrote the menu in a serious manner, and also wrote what he needed to buy. The next day, the big market in Linshui Town, the Xia family still went to the market to set up stalls, and Xia Zhi took the burden of purchasing, carried the basket, and led the little black fish to the market and the streets of the town to buy.
Passing by the gate of Juxianju, Shopkeeper Li seemed to know that they would pass by, and he had been waiting there for a long time.
