Chapter 128: Birthday
Xia Li went back to the house and changed into new clothes and shoes. The blouse is a short light concubine with a slanted collar and embroidered with chrysanthemums on the collar. She wears a pale cyan long skirt with anchovy flowers embroidered on the skirt. The clothes and shoes were all made by Xia, and the flowers were also embroidered by her. Although it is all silk, it is the kind of coarse and cheap silk.
Xia Li knew that Xia made a beautiful dress with the soft satin and silk sent by Zeng Qingqing. Maybe it was too gorgeous, but after it was done, Xia thought about it for a long time and put it in the box, but didn't take it out for her to wear.
Xia personally combed her with a tassel bun, inserted two beaded flowers and a silver hairpin.
Suddenly, Xia Shi felt that there was a large glass mirror in front of him, and the beauty in the glass mirror was two years older than Xia Li, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing pearls and emeralds......
She blinked away the tears in her eyes and smiled, "My departure is the most beautiful and beautiful girl." My mother is sorry for you, she has more beautiful clothes, but she doesn't dare to wear them for you. ”
Xia Li got up and put his arm around her and smiled, "The clothes on my body are all beautiful." A good-looking outfit doesn't care about being gorgeous, but fits. ”
This year, she has grown a lot taller, and she is already the same as Xia's, about 1.6 meters. The height of a woman is on the high side in Xiangjiang Province. Where there should be meat, there is also meat, and the well-fitting clothes make her more slim and beautiful.
Xia held her face and looked at it for a long time before letting go with satisfaction.
Xia Ju walked in with his hands behind his back with a red face, and said with a smile, "Happy birthday sister." ”
Then he took a small porcelain box with red flowers on a white background and gave it to Xia Li.
Xia Li took it, it was a box of balsam produced by Xinzhai, this brand of things can be regarded as high-end cosmetics in Tongning County.
She smiled, "Thank you, brother." And he said, "This balm is a little expensive." ”
Xia smiled, "No, half of his pocket money is used." ”
Xia Ju said seriously, "Sister is so good, she just has to use good things." When I grow up and earn money, I'll buy better ones for my sister. ”
What heart-warming words.
Xia Li picked up Xia Ju and kissed him. Not to mention that Xia Ju blushed the tips of his ears, and even Xia's face turned red. She said angrily, "You are an older sister, how can you treat your younger brother like this." Not next time. ”
Xia Ju hurriedly said loudly, "Mother, I like my sister like this." ”
Xia pretended to be angry and said, "You can't like it." ”
Xia Li smiled, "Okay, okay, when my brother grows up, I won't kiss." ”
Hearing the word "pro", Xia's face turned even redder with shame. "Don't be ashamed, the girl's family is not allowed to say this, people will laugh to death when they hear it." ”
Then, as if fleeing, he walked out.
Xia Li was speechless. Ancient women's skins are really thin, Xia Niang not only married, but also gave birth to children, listening to the word "pro" can be ashamed like this, where is like a married woman, better than her unmarried girl.
After breakfast, Zhu Er's family gave Xia Li a pair of embroidered shoes. It is still satin, and the embroidered flowers are also particularly complex, with flowers, birds, and moire. This is the difference in aesthetics, this pair of expensive and time-consuming shoes is far less beautiful than the cloth shoes made by Xia's.
Xia Li still accepted her affection, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Zhu, for letting you break the bank." ”
Zhu Erjia smiled heartily, "The minions also want to thank Sister-in-law Xia, the eldest girl, and the elder brother for their charity." I often say that our family was sold to the dental store, and we can still be together as a family, all thanks to the blessing of the eldest girl. The masters are generous and often reward us, and now my family's savings have ten taels of silver, ouch, I didn't dare to think of it......"
Seeing that she told her family background, Xia and Xia were happy.
Xia Li always believes that if you want employees to do things for you, the boss can't be too picky. Therefore, as long as she earns a sum of money, others make efforts again, or they perform well in some things, Xia Li will give bonuses. Because Zhu Er is very willing to work hard, and he does it well, the moon silver has grown to five hundred Wen.
On this day, Xia Li did not practice archery and fishing as usual, or went to the east courtyard to serve and play with yams, but kept sitting obediently under the window embroidering, or looking out of the window. She knew that Xia liked to see herself as ladylike and leisurely, and she got her wish in one day today.
The wind carries the fragrance of flowers, the bright spring sun sheds warm light, and the thick green of the distant mountains is mixed with clusters of red azaleas...... She couldn't bear this peaceful and beautiful place.
When he went down, Xia Laohan's family actually came.
In previous years, Xia Li's birthday was a mother and daughter, and the Xia family never invited the door. A birthday treat is a gift. However, Xia Zhu and Xia Shan will secretly send a gift, or two head flowers, or a pound of snacks. The gift is not heavy, but the heart has arrived.
And today, Xia Laohan led a large family to take the initiative to come, and even Xia Tie and Xia Daxiong, who were working in the town, called it a day ahead of schedule. It seems that Xia Meiniang's determination touched the depths of the old man's soul, and he was more attentive to Xia's daughter and Xia Li's granddaughter.
Xiao Yang was afraid of vicious dogs, and he didn't dare to enter the door at the end.
Xia Li asked Zhu Cai to take Dangdang, sunspots, and bears to the east courtyard and tie them up. When she holds a grudge and sees Xiao Yang, who has bullied Xia Li, she will clean her up. Although he hates Xiao Yang's, everyone is happy today, and Xia Li still doesn't want to make extraneous branches.
Xia Zhu raised a long strip of meat in his hand and said with a smile, "Dad, I'm afraid that there are so many of us at once, and your ingredients are not enough, so he specially asked me to keep them." ”
Originally, Xia thought that he would go to Fucheng the day after tomorrow and invite their family to dinner tomorrow, but when they came today, the family did not prepare meals for so many people.
Xia was extremely happy, in front of his children, his mother's family finally gave themselves a long face, and their eyes were crooked. Hurry up with Zhu Er's family to cook in the kitchen, the few dishes prepared before are definitely not enough, take a bacon and two pork livers from under the eaves, and let Zhu Er go to Jitou Village to sell a few catties of wine.
Mr. Xia asked Mrs. Xia to put the package on the table and open it, and put a piece of pink muslin in it. This is a big gift from the Xia family, just look at the smug face of Old Man Xia and the pain on Mrs. Xia's face.
The old lady still can't figure it out, why let her father and mother spend this unjust money when her daughter's family is so rich. The cloth and meat add up, enough to have more than 200 yuan.
Xia Li accepted the old man's affection, and pulled his sleeve to pat him on the back. The old man is very useful, and he hasn't been so close to him for a long time.
Li quietly gave Xia Li a carved wooden comb that he bought in the county seat, and even Xia Erni secretly stuffed two red ribbons in Xia Li's hands.
She was delivered when Xia left to pick vegetables in the backyard. As if it was the first time to give a gift, she blushed with shame and whispered, "I know that my aunt and sister Li are good to me, I bought it from the merchant, don't dislike it......"
