Chapter 56: Rich Relatives
In the backyard, the white moonlight sprinkled on the kang. The little black fish www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion was already asleep and snoring. Mrs. Xia and Mr. Xia hadn't slept yet, and the old couple were lying on the kang and talking quietly.
"Sixteen, this kid can spend money. Mrs. Xia said, "I gave her a touch." Those things, one tael of silver will never come down, I'm afraid there will be no two taels of silver. ”
Old Man Xia snorted, "This kid, what he earned that day, he spent it all on the same day." ”
"I thought for her, that child didn't make it. She kept the money in her hands and didn't spend it, and she was afraid that she would be idle later. Mrs. Xia said again. Getting angry is a euphemism. Tian is not at home these days, but there is always a day when he comes back. If she knew that Xia Zhi had money in her hands, she would definitely make a fuss.
"I have an eldest son and an eldest grandson, both of whom are seedlings of reading. It's down to now, hey......" Old Man Xia sighed deeply, this seemed to be unrelated to what he said just now, but he would know that what he said was still the same thing.
Mrs. Xia knew that her wife's heart was sick, so she was busy. "I've been in your old Xia family for decades. I also served the eldest and second when I was a child. The two daughters-in-law were also married from me. Over the years, I haven't had anything else to do with them. For the first time today, it was my granddaughter who bought me something to earn money. ”
The gift of the summer solstice is not expensive, but this intention really touched Mrs. Xia.
"Sixteen knew in his heart that he was a capable man. Old Man Xia said quietly, "I see, I can't say that the eldest family will have to rely on sixteen in the future." ”
Mrs. Xia turned her head and glanced at her wife, and guessed his plan a little. "Even if sixteen is capable, she is still a little girl. Don't let her do everything. ”
Old Man Xia sighed and said nothing.
The next day, the backyard of the Xia family became lively. The second family of the Xia family visited the temple fair, stayed in Luotun'er for another night, and took a ride back after breakfast.
A small kang table was set up on the west house kang of the summer solstice, Sun Lan'er, Layue and Xiao Xia Lin were all sitting on the kang, and Xia Zhi took out the sugar cubes and mixed mixes bought at the market yesterday to entertain the big guys.
"The family is back, Brother Erzhu and Xia Yang are also back?" Xia Zhi asked Layue.
"It's all back. Layue nodded.
Sun Lan'er was sewing clothes for Xia Zhi, without raising her head, but she didn't delay speaking. She said casually: "This time, you Erzhu and Xiao Yang have lived in their grandmother's house for a long time." ”
"It was a long time to stay. "The summer solstice let Xia Lin eat mixed mix, and he was not allowed to eat more sugar. Xia Zhu and Xia Yang are the two sons of the second room of the Xia family, and they were sent back to their parents' house by Luo a while ago, and they lived for more than a month, and they only came back with them today.
There is a custom of children living in their grandmother's house around Daxingzhuang, and it is a common thing for ten days and a half months. However, Roche sent his two sons to live in his grandmother's house this time, but it was a bit special.
"Fourth sister, you didn't see it, the third sister and the fifth sister came back with things from all ages, but they were happy. Layue said as she took small bites.
“…… There is also Brother Xiao Yang, who can be shown. Xia Lin said in a milky voice.
The life of Luo's mother's family is normal, and it is not as good as Lao Xia's family. In the past, the children in the second room did not live in their grandmother's house for more than ten days, let alone take things back in large bags and small bags.
Sun Lan'er also knew this, so she asked, "Did the old Luo family get rich?"
Layue whispered: "I always say that she is Sister Juanzi, and everything is bought by Sister Juanzi." Then she asked Xia Zhi and Sun Lan'er again, "Fourth sister, Sister Lanzi, will you go to the backyard to play?"
Xia Zhi nodded, it was time for her to go over and read and write. Sun Lan'er shook her head, she planned to take advantage of her rare free time to make her and Xia Zhi's small clothes as soon as possible, and then help Xia Zhi make shoes. She also plans to use the cloth heads she got back from Xia Solstice to make a few more purses or something.
Xia Zhi knew that Sun Lan'er was okay at her house, and if she blatantly went to the backyard to play, she would have trouble if Sun Wang's family knew about it, so she didn't force Sun Lan'er.
"Sister Lanzi, then you can show me the house. Xia Zhi said this, and went to the backyard with Layue and Xia Lin.
The backyard is really lively, and you can hear the laughter of the east wing outside the gate. Xia Zhi first went to the upper room and said a few words to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, and then came to the West Wing.
Xia Yunhan and Feng were not at home, so Layue let Xia Shangzhi sit on the kang, and she happily took Feng's needlework and thread basket out. Xia Zhi gave her a few small pieces of cloth just now, and she planned to sew a sandbag first.
"I don't know how to make purses yet. Fourth sister, when will you and Sister Lanzi tell me, I will learn from you. "Layue was elated.
Xia Zhi nodded, helped Layue pick the thread, and cut the cloth head. The cloth she brought back was small, but it was all brightly colored, and there was a lot of satin, which could be spliced together to make very delicate knick-knacks.
Xiao Xia Lin came back with his two sisters, and he didn't go to play, so he lay on the edge of the kang and watched the two sisters talk with a smile.
Xia Zhi asked where Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San went, and Layue replied that the two went out to work. When they split their house, they also divided ten acres of land, which was enough for the family's expenses. But Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia are both diligent people. After the two finished cleaning up their own land, they went out together to do short-term jobs for others to earn money.
"When will the third uncle and third aunt come back?" Xia Zhi asked again.
"Come back in the evening. Xiao Xia Lin hurriedly answered, and when he saw Xia Zhi looking at him, he smiled his two big eyes into two crescents.
"And how are you two going to eat?"
"My mother has already brought out a day's meal. Layue replied, "Grandpa and Grandma let me and Xiaolinzi eat with them, and if we don't go, we will eat by ourselves." Third sister, if they see us going to grandma's for dinner, they will definitely gossip. ”
"Then you two should go to my house for dinner. "The summer solstice said.
"Fourth sister, we have dinner in the evening. My mom and dad also came back in the evening. Layue shook her head.
"I invited you to dinner. Xia Zhi said, "There is still a roast chicken at home, I plan to invite you and Sister Lanzi to have a meal together." ”
"Fourth sister, Sister Lanzi is your companion and helps you work. You invite Sister Lanzi, Xiao Linzi and I won't go. Layue said very sincerely.
"You have to work for me to eat my food. Xia Zhi smiled, "Do you two call me sister." If yes, come to my house that night. ”
Layue was happy and a little embarrassed.
"Fourth sister, do you really not?" Xiao Xia Lin looked at Xia Solstice with big eyes. The little guy didn't have so many ideas, he felt that he was already very close to Xia Zhi, and Xia Zhi asked them to eat roast chicken, and he was happy.
