Chapter 175: Happiness

Qian Yuelai stopped the car temporarily, and Xia Qiao picked up the little black fish in the car and sat with Xia Zhi and Xiao Shu'er. The carriage continued to start, and Daqing screamed and ran after www.biquge.info the carriage.

As soon as the little black fish got in the car, she grabbed Xia Solstice and asked a long question, of course, the most important thing to ask was why they came back early and were with Qian Yuelai. "Where's the eldest brother and sister-in-law?"

Because Qian Yuelai was present, Xia Zhi was not easy to say in too much detail, only saying that they couldn't stay at Old Man Tian's house, so they wanted to come back early, and then happened to run into Qian Yuelai. Qian Yuelai sent them back in particular.

As for Xia Xiucai and Tian, they should still follow the original plan, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back until the evening.

The little black fish didn't ask much, he was very happy to come back early on the summer solstice. "Come back if you can't stay, that's right. I'm not happy to let you stay overnight at their house. ”

After saying this, the little black fish also asked Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, you are in their house, who of them bullied you and made you angry?" ”

"Uncle, I'll mention you when I get there. They wanted to make me angry, but they didn't dare. Xia Zhi said deliberately.

The little black fish was very happy to hear Xia Zhi's words, and he didn't think that Xia Zhi was deliberately teasing him, and he proudly puffed up his little chest. "That's right. Count them as acquaintances. ”

Everyone laughed happily.

The carriage stopped in front of the backyard of the Xia family, Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia, Third Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia San, Layue and Xia Lin, all of whom were already waiting outside the door.

Qian Yuelai was the first to jump out of the car, and respectfully greeted Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, he shouted Godfather and Dry Milk, and then he met with Third Uncle Xia and Third Aunt Xia.

Layue and Xia Lin also obediently called Brother Yuelai.

Here, Xia Qiao also hugged Xiao Heiyuer out of the car, and then Xia Zhi and Xiao Shu'er jumped out of the car one after another, and everyone went into the yard in clusters, and went directly to the landlord's house to sit down and talk.

Xia Zhi roughly said what she said to Xiao Heiyuer in the car, explaining that they came back early and pooled money to meet Qian Yuelai. When he said these words, Xia Zhi only briefly touched on their affairs in the Tian family, focusing on Qian Yuelai.

Such a long way is not a long way, and people want to go home after finishing their business, but they take the initiative to send the three of them back, which is not a small favor.

"Brother Yuelai said that he missed us, mainly because he missed my father." In the end, Xia Zhi also said with a smile.

The people in the room all smiled kindly, and their attitude towards Qian Yuelai became more and more affectionate. Qian Yuelai was a little embarrassed, he gave the two packets of trough cakes he bought, and told Old Man Xia that he had long wanted to come to recognize the door, but he was busy with business recently, so he was delayed.

"You kid, you're here when you come, what are you buying? You're out of the woodwork. Old Man Xia said with a smile.

"It's a little bit of a junior that I have, godfather, just don't be shabby." Qian Yuelai said with a smile.

"You, have a temper with you~ master. This time you bought it, you bought it, and next time you won't allow it. "Old Man Xia asked Mrs. Xia to collect the two packets of trough cakes, and then asked her to hurry up and prepare the meal." This man who came all the way must be hungry. ”

"Milk, I'll buy vegetables and come back." Xia Zhi hurriedly handed over the wine, meat, crispy duck and roast goose he bought from Linshui Town to Mrs. Xia.

Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were very happy, Qian Yue came suddenly, and they didn't have much preparation, at this time, they had to go to Linshui Town to buy vegetables, and it would take a lot of time to come and go. Summer Solstice bought back these things, not only to save time, but also to treat customers quite sumptuous and decent.

Mrs. Xia took the things and took Aunt Xia and Layue to the hall to arrange food.

Although Old Man Xia knew that they came back early on the summer solstice, something must have happened. But the children were very calm and looked like they were all in a good mood, so Old Man Xia didn't rush to ask them. He first asked Uncle Xia to unload the truck and feed the livestock for Qian Yuelai, and then asked Qian Yuelai to sit on the kang and ask about the Qian family.

The two of them chatted, and the chatter was very happy, and Xia Qiao didn't leave, and chatted together.

Xia Zhi stayed in the house for a while, and then came out to help Mrs. Xia cook.

"Sixteen, you don't need you, you're resting on the side. This little work, I and your third aunt and Layue will do it. Mrs. Xia said.

Aunt Xia San and Layue didn't let Xia Zhi touch her hands, saying that she must be tired when she came back from afar, so let her rest more.

Despite this, Xia Zhi still washed his hands and helped Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia San pick and chop vegetables. She worked neatly, and with her help, Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia suddenly felt too relaxed.

"Sixteen is capable." Aunt Xia said sincerely, and then said to Layue, "Layue, you have to learn more from your fourth sister." ”

"Definitely." Layue smiled, and then asked Xia Zhi, "Fourth sister, why did you come back first?" ”

Old Lady Xia and Aunt Xia also looked at Xia Zhi.

"I can't wait." Xia Zhi glanced at the east room, and could see and hear the old man Xia in the house through the curtain, but if her voice was quieter, it was estimated that the people in the house would not be able to hear it.

Xia Zhi didn't intend to hide it, so he told the story roughly.

Mrs. Xia, Aunt Xia San, and Layue were all stunned.

"Lao Tian's ......, there is such a thing." After a while, Mrs. Xia came back to her senses a little and said this in a low voice.

"I've heard of this kind of thing, but I haven't ...... Such. "Aunt Xia's maiden family is also in the mountains, but life is much better than that of the backing mountain.

In this place of Beizhen Mansion, there is really no custom of dying a baby girl after giving birth. They had only heard of this kind of thing, and it was like a legend, and they had never seen it around them.

There are some places and some families here that they don't care much about giving birth to a girl, but no one will deliberately kill their own flesh and blood.

"We didn't know anything about it before." Mrs. Xia sighed and said, "We don't have any relatives over there, and no one tells us about this, hey." ”

Old Lady Xia sighed. Xia Zhi was thinking, if the Xia family knew what Old Man Tian and Tian Wang had done before, would they still let Xia Xiucai marry Tian?

"Milk, the matchmaker who was the matchmaker for my father and my mother, did she not know, or did she deliberately hide it and not say it?" Summer Solstice asked.

Mrs. Xia glanced at Xia Zhi, "Your father and you~ mother are not matchmakers." ”

"Not a matchmaker? What's going on? Xia Zhi asked strangely.

Mrs. Xia refused to say anything. "Sixteen, you will know about this matter slowly in the future."

Xia Zhi knew that Mrs. Xia was perfunctory, and Mrs. Xia was reluctant to tell her. The summer solstice is not easy to force Mrs. Xia to say.

Mrs. Xia sighed again, as if she was talking to herself: "I kind of understand, why does the eldest daughter-in-law take her daughter so seriously!" It's not surprising that she grew up in a family of people like that. ”

For this sentence, Xia Zhi thought deeply. Growing up in an environment like the Tian family, the Tian family must have felt that it was a great grace to the girl to give birth to her and raise her to grow up. She probably doesn't regard her daughter as her own child in her heart, but as some kind of object, raised up, and can be exchanged for money, which is estimated to be similar to the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs at home.

And the reason why the Tian family threw it away without giving birth to a daughter is not that she is more conscious than the old man Tian and the Tian Wang family, but that the Xia family does not have this tradition, and the Xia family's life is very good, so there is no need to do this.

Xia Solstice thought of Da Yue'er again.

According to the thinking that Tian inherited from the Tian family, the first child was a girl, not a son, and she should be very disappointed. For Da Yue'er, has she ever had a real mother-daughter relationship, and when she sold Da Yue'er, did she hesitate and reluctant?

Xia Zhi can't guess it, these things, I'm afraid only God knows Tian himself.

"Milk, do you know where my mother sold Sister Da Yue'er?" Xia Zhi thought about it, then lowered his voice and asked Mrs. Xia again.

At this time, it happened that Xia Qiao came out of the East House. He heard Xia Zhi's question, and then looked at Mrs. Xia with a pair of eyes very expectantly.

"Hey......" Old Lady Xia felt very uncomfortable when she was stared at by Xia Qiao and Xia Zhi, "No one knows about this, you~ Mother did this behind our backs." When you and I ~ know it, it's too late. Where is Da Yue'er now, I'm afraid only you~ Mother herself knows. ”

This situation is expected on the summer solstice. Xia Qiao still had hope, so when he heard Mrs. Xia's words, the disappointed expression on his face couldn't be hidden.

Xia Qiao lowered his head and walked out slowly.

"Brother Ohashi is alright, right?" Layue glanced at Xia Qiao's back and asked worriedly.

"He'll be fine." Xia Zhi said, and did not chase out to see Xia Qiao.

Xia Qiao's temperament, experiencing more things is good for him.

Mrs. Xia also looked at Xia Qiao's back, and she shook her head pityingly: "Da Yue'er has been very sensible since she was a child, and she is very good to Daqiao's younger brother, and she is more careful than you~ Mother takes care of Daqiao." …… Ohashi is a good boy, remembering favors and not being ungrateful. ”

Mrs. Xia would never say that her grandchildren were not, of course, although she was as kind to Layue and Xia Lin, she would sometimes count them down.

In this regard, Xia Zhi feels that it is human nature. Mrs. Xia has a gentle temperament and is relatively good at being a person.

At this time, the little black fish and the little tree ran in from outside. Just now when everyone was talking in the house, the little black fish called the little tree out, and I don't know where the two children went to play.

But Xia Solstice didn't think they were going to play.

Sure enough, as soon as the little black fish entered the door, he came to Xia Zhi's side and grabbed Xia Zhi's hand, with a particularly concerned expression.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Xia Zhi asked, and then glanced at the little tree.

Xiao Shu'er winked at Xia Zhi'er, meaning that he told Xiao Heiyu'er everything. Xia Zhi's premonition came true, it turned out that the little black fish called Xiao Shu'er out, and really went to ask them about the backing mountain.

"Sixteen, you're freaking out." The little black fish held Xia Zhi's hand and asked her, "Don't go to the backer in the future." You don't have to go to whoever tells you to go, let her come to me! ”

"Well, uncle, I won't go to the backer again." Xia Solstice replied.

"Her uncle is like a sixteen good person!" Aunt Xia San laughed next to her.

"That's the fate between people." Mrs. Xia also laughed.

"Mother, third sister-in-law, hurry up and cook. I haven't eaten since the morning, and I'm definitely hungry now. The little black fish urged Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia.

"Oh, Sixteen, you came back in the morning without eating?" Old Lady Xia was taken aback.

"Lao Tian's family didn't prepare for dinner yesterday, so I still took the money to buy some food. I definitely didn't eat well! The little black fish said immediately.

"Oh, what a joke." Old Lady Xia was not good at commenting on the Tian family's hospitality, but her subordinates immediately sped up.

Originally, the meal was almost ready, but when the little black fish urged him like this, the big guy's hands and feet moved faster, and after a while, the food was done.

The meal was very well prepared. The crispy duck and roast goose were cut into two large plates, in addition, Mrs. Xia also made a messy stew, that is, beans stewed with pork belly and freshly dug potatoes, and a pot of boiled cakes made of wheat flour, which is the staple food.

In addition, Mrs. Xia also used fried dried tofu, eggs, leeks, fungus, and garlic sprouts. She also prepared two cold dishes and cooked a soup with slices of meat skin.

This time, the guests did not divide the table, but put the two tables together, and everyone sat together. Old Man Xia, Qian Yuelai, Third Uncle Xia, Xia Qiao and Xia Zhi all put wine cups in front of them, Xia Qiao was responsible for pouring the wine, and the wine they ate was naturally bought by Xia Zhi just from Linshui Town.

Old man Xia and Qian Yuelai chatted for a long time, and their impression of Qian Yuelai became better and better. Old Man Xia knew that Qian Yuelai would drink, so he asked him to drink.

"When you get to the godfather, it's like in your own home. You don't have to rush back today, stay overnight at the godmaster's place, and tomorrow you will go back calmly. ”

Xia Zhi drank a glass of wine with him, and then stopped drinking. The little black fish sat next to her, because she remembered that she hadn't eaten well since last night, and she was very intimate with her food. The old lady Xia next to her looked a little dumbfounded, speaking of which, the little black fish hadn't taken care of her so much.

When Xia Solstice saw it, he gave the little black fish a look. The little black fish also gave Mrs. Xia a dish with chopsticks, and Mrs. Xia was so eager to iron it, but don't mention it.

Xia Qiao didn't drink much, and he only drank one cup, and then he didn't drink anymore. Compared to everyone else, he still seems to be a little preoccupied.

After eating, Qian Yuelai refused to stay, and must hurry home. Old Man Xia stayed for a while, and in the end he didn't stay, so he could only tell Qian Yue to be careful on the way to come, and he must come to Daxingzhuang next time he came to Linshui Town.

The family sent Qian Yuelai to the entrance of the village, watched his car go away, and then slowly walked back.

"This kid is a good boy for the month. No blessings in May! Old Man Xia shook his head and said. (To be continued.) )
