On the summer solstice, it was already noon when they left the embroidery village, and by the time they found Tian Laoda, they had already paid their taxes and were sitting at the foot of the city wall waiting for him. But it seems that only the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle are left, and the others are gone.

"What about Brother Xu and Uncle Tang?" But it was Xia Zhi's father who didn't see the two of them and asked, and as for Xu Laoer, he automatically ignored it.

"I'm afraid that you don't know when Lu Dao will come back, so let them go back first!" In fact, Xu Lao Er was unwilling to wait, and he was clamoring to leave, Xu Lao couldn't bear him, so he had to go with him, Tian Lao felt that Uncle Tang was old, so he let him go back in an ox cart.

Here Xia Solstice Daddy is asking, but Tian Laosan is behind Tian Laosi, the woman next to Xia Zhi hesitated, his family doesn't seem to have any relatives in this town, why did the fourth brother follow a woman?

"Fourth brother, what is this?" Tian Laosan asked gently.

"Uncle San, this is the embroidery lady arranged by the proprietress of the embroidery village for our family, and she specially asked her to teach me and my sisters and sisters to embroider!" Xia Zhi preemptively said.

"That's good, the boss lady is not easy, this still has to go a long way! This, this ......" Tian Laosan nodded and said that he knew it, but it was Tian Laosan who felt that he had received a great favor from the proprietor, and assigned an embroidery girl, so that he was a little unhappy, and besides, the way back was more than 100 miles, so he was afraid that this embroidery girl would not be able to hold on. So he spoke.

"The woman Song took the liberty to call Tian Zhuangshi, Tian Zhuangshi was relieved to come before the proprietress also explained to the woman, the woman is also a person who has done heavy work, and she still insists on coming down for more than a hundred miles" The previous proprietress was afraid that they would not enter the town for a few months during the summer solstice, so she asked where the Xia Solstice family lived, and it was convenient to contact. Before leaving, he also explained the specific situation to Song Xiuniang.

"Uncle, this is the boss's intention, and we can't take away her kindness, it just so happens that the sisters in the family can learn a craft." Xia Zhi looked at the uncle's tangled expression, so he had no choice but to speak. As she spoke, she also gave Tian Laosi a look and asked him to persuade Tian Laosi, if the uncle didn't agree, wouldn't it be in vain.

Tian Laosi saw his daughter's eyes, so he had to speak: "Big brother, it's a good thing for these babies to learn some crafts, and the boss lady is kind." ”

Although Boss Tian was still struggling, he also knew that this person had followed, and he couldn't send it back, so he had to nod and agree.

There was nothing to do here, and they were ready to go home on the summer solstice, and most of the people in this town had already had lunch. Xia Zhi asked Song Xiuniang, and she also finished lunch in Xiuzhuang.

This time I entered the town to learn the summer solstice smartly, and asked A-Niang to make two vegetable dumplings by herself, but it was not a cushion. I also wanted to come to the summer solstice before, but the Tian family didn't even have much rice left, not to mention this luxury vegetable dumpling made of rice. After eating the vegetable dumplings, Tian Laosi picked up the summer solstice and held it in his arms, and everyone went on the road.

When he arrived at Tian's house, Xia Zhi urged Daddy to put himself down, pull his legs and run to the fish pond, anyway, this person didn't need her to greet him. Tian Laosi, who was provoked, chased after him and shouted: "Xia Zhi, how many times have I said that no one is allowed to go to the fish pond!" ”

Xia Zhi stuck out his tongue, but he didn't slow down, and he had his own daddy behind! When I arrived at the fish pond, Xia Zhi first squatted down and looked at the water quality, and felt that there was no problem, and the fish were swimming in the water leisurely, so I went back.

On the way, Tian Laosi looked at her hippie smiling face, and wanted to teach her a lesson, but he was reluctant, so he slapped her a few times, and Xia Zhi didn't care. crashed into Tian Laosi's arms again and asked him to hug him.

Anyway, although Daddy and the three uncles take turns carrying her, they can't carry it all the time, so the summer solstice is also a long walk, and it's still very tiring!

Tian Lao Boss watched Tian Lao Si chase after the summer solstice, and shook his head helplessly, how did these four brothers go back more and more, there are still guests next to him, so he left without hesitation, and thought that he was the summer solstice!

"Don't be surprised by Mrs. Song, my fourth brother is worried about the summer solstice."

"It's normal for the Manxi brothers to worry about their daughter, nothing strange!" On the way home, everyone called the same name, and Song Xiuniang no longer called Tian Zhuangshi, but called her name, after all, the four brothers of the Tian family can't all be called Tian Zhuangshi. And the Tian brothers can call Song Xiuniang 'Song Niangzi'.

Seeing that Song Xiuniang didn't mean to blame, but looked like she agreed, Boss Tian didn't say anything, but led her into the house and shouted: "Daddy, Auntie, come quickly!" We're in for a guest! ”

"Brother Manfu, you don't have to be so polite, I should have to visit my aunt and them, how can I let my aunt come to meet me!" Hearing Boss Tian's shout, Song Xiuniang hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her.

"Song Niangzi, don't be surprised, we peasant family don't know what etiquette is, but this is a guest when we enter the door, and we should welcome guests!" Tian Lao Er said innocently.

The Li family, Lao Luotou and the daughters-in-law and granddaughters of the Tian family, who were sitting in the hall, heard that a guest had arrived, so they hurriedly got off the kang, put on shoes, and greeted them, but the guests made them very confused.

"What is this?" Li thought that the guest was a relative, but it turned out that he didn't know him, Lao Luotou and Tian's daughter-in-law and granddaughter were also at a loss, and the guest in front of him didn't seem to know him.

"Daddy, Auntie, this Song lady was sent by the proprietress of Niangniang Town Embroidery Village to teach our children to be popular!"

"This, this ......" Li listened to Boss Tian's words, only to feel that God had opened his eyes, and he was speechless in surprise, and several daughters-in-law of the Tian family also looked shocked, and even the eight children looked incredulous. How could there be such a good thing in the world, of course, they didn't know that Lu Dao, this request was put forward by Xia Zhi.

In fact, Xia Zhi didn't understand that in this backward ancient 'teaching female red' not only meant that the Tian family girls could learn embroidery, but also meant that they would also have a craft, which also meant that they could have a good life in the future, and a mother-in-law could treat them well. So for a while, the Tian family had mixed feelings.

Several daughters-in-law of the Tian family cried with joy, they themselves were from a farming family, and they were always looking forward to their daughters learning a craft and living a good life in the future. Now I was suddenly smashed by the pie in the world, but I don't know how to express this happiness.

I want to compare the daughters-in-law of the Tian family, the granddaughters of the Tian family are more direct, they smiled and cheered directly,

"Ah! I can learn to live too! Tian Xiaoman was the first to shout.

"Huh...... Hehe......" Tian Guyu, who has a simple face but a shrewd heart, can only use her signature smirk to express her mood at this time. Tian Lichun, Tian Chunfen, and Tian Lixia folded their hands together excitedly, laughing in their mouths, and tears appeared in their eyes.

Only the youngest Tian Liqiu also understands the importance of embroidery, but she doesn't feel much about other sisters, she doesn't know much about this society, so she doesn't understand why her sister and Aunt A-Niang are so excited, just like she doesn't understand that the status of this ancient woman is underneath.

She couldn't understand that a girl who married someone with a craft and a girl who married someone without a skill were treated completely differently in her in-law's family. Of course, not all families are like this, but in this farming family, having a craft is equivalent to being able to support the family, which is equivalent to not starving to death in a disaster year, and is equivalent to a good life for the family. So if you know how to trade, you can generally walk sideways in a farmhouse.
