Xia Meiniang's face sank, and she said stiffly, "My son and daughter will not learn from the Xia family's greed and shamelessness, let alone ask for the Xia family's money." We just starve to death, and we don't want to. ”

Hearing this, the younger brother didn't dare to take it at all.

Xia Shan's hand retracted and didn't stretch it out, and said with a red face, "Second sister, this is not the Xia family's money, it's the younger brother's capture of the bandits, and it's above board." Some of the elders' practices are not good, and the younger brothers do not approve of ......"

Xia hurriedly played a round and persuaded them to take it. Xia Meiniang just didn't accept it, her eyes were bulging, so Xia didn't dare to persuade again.

In the end, Xia Shan had to take back the silver with tears in his eyes, and asked Xia for Xia Li's two bead flowers, and Xia Ju's two sheep pens, which were given to the Peng family sisters and brothers.

Xia Mei nodded and said, "This is a meeting gift from your third uncle, so I will accept it." Remember, it's all on your own, and don't reach out so smoothly. ”

The two children nodded in agreement before reaching out to take it.

After the meal, Xia Li led a few children to play in the yard, and the previous and future matters were discussed and dealt with by a few elders.

Xia Ju led Peng Laixi and Xiao Qi to play with the spinning top under the tree, Xiao Laixi couldn't, and studied very seriously.

Xia Li first went to the outer courtyard and asked Zhu Er to go to the town to buy a few muslin cloths and a few bags of candy and a few catties of moon cakes, and then sat under the porch with Peng Laifu and watched the children play.

Peng Laifu is a shy little girl, she blushes when she speaks, and her facial features are more like those of the Peng family, but fortunately, she is in good health.

Not long after, Peng Huozi also came out. He could see that the Xia family sisters and brothers didn't like him, so it was not good to continue to stay in the house.

Xia Li got up and smiled, "Second aunt, please take a seat." ”

She had already figured out a way to help Peng Huozi temporarily.

Peng Huozi's congenital conditions doomed him to not be able to do much, but the contempt he made up was really good. It's just that because I can't cut the bamboo, I can't split the whole bamboo into strips, and the difference in the price is too limited.

Xia Li thought of many beautiful contempt weapons in his previous life, and let him take the boutique route, and he would earn more money.

Xia Li said with a smile, "The fan and dustpan woven by my uncle are very good, solid, delicate, and durable." ”

Peng Huozi was so excited that his face turned red, and he said with a smile, "I like Lili, and I will give you more in the future." ”

Xia Li nodded in thanks, and then said, "Uncle, I thought of a few styles, see if you can make them up." Although these are time-consuming and costly, they can sell for a higher price. ”

Then, she got up and went into the house, took out a pen and paper, and drew on the paper some bamboo crafts that she had seen in her previous life, including vases, storage boxes (baskets), clamshell bags, and so on. Again, what are the shapes of vases, which can be decorated with ribbons, baskets with square, round and lids, it is best to add a layer of muslin to decorate them, and the small bag can be heart-shaped or rectangular, and then decorate with bright fabrics. More upscale, you can even decorate with jade and pearls...... Actually, it is best to dye bamboo strips, but this method is expensive in this era, and I will talk about it later.

Peng Huozi was so excited that his face turned red, it turned out that the contempt weapon could be made up like this, why didn't he think of it? From time to time, he would chims along and give some of his own suggestions.

Xia Li suddenly found that Peng Huozi was very smart, and often Xia Li said the same, and he could expand a few more things. Again, in the previous life, God closed this door for you, and he will open that window. In other words, concentration is the essence......

Peng Laifu also participated, bringing his own ideas.

In more than an hour, several people discussed and designed a variety of styles.

Xia Li said with a smile, "My uncle is slowly knitting, not in a hurry to sell, he has to spend more money to buy good bamboo strips and make a boutique that is different from others." When there are more compilations, I will find someone to sell them in the provincial capital, or I can sell them in the prefecture. After doing a good job, I will accept a few apprentices or small workers in the future, and maybe I can open a Peng Ji Xiangzhu shop or something in Fucheng. ”

Peng Huozi laughed rarely, and his voice was a little sharp and thin, which made several people in the room stunned.

Xia Li entered the house and talked about the conversation they had just had.

Xia Meiniang asked Peng Huozi, who followed up, "Huozi, can you make up such a difficult thing?" ”

Peng Huozi smiled, "It should be possible." ”

Xia Meiniang smiled very brightly and said to Xia Li, "Good boy, the second aunt has accepted your love." "I was far happier than receiving the twenty taels of silver from the Xia family.

Xia Li smiled, "They are all relatives, help each other." When you get better in the future, you will also help us, so that we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win. ”

Xia Shan smiled again, "There is a comrade in the barracks who specializes in making contempt weapons in a neighboring county, and I will ask him to get some Xiangfei bamboo strips another day......

Xia Meiniang accepted this kindness without even thinking about it.

After the two dogs and one bear came back, the Peng sisters and brothers had a happier time. Especially Peng Laixi, who followed Xia Ju to ride on the bear-like body, his little face was red and fluttering, and he was so excited.

After dinner, the four members of the Peng family were going home, and said that they would invite the Xia family and Xia Shan to their house tomorrow.

Xia Shan lived in Zhuangzi. After he went to Peng's house tomorrow as a guest, he went back to the camp to ask for leave and go back to Xiaowa Village. Although Xia Meiniang made it clear that she no longer recognized the Xia family and only walked around with her eldest sister and Xia Shan, he should still explain this to his parents. also said that she had to ask her parents to return the six yuan from selling Xia Meiniang to her, how could they be embarrassed to keep those unscrupulous money. Xia Meiniang does not accept the money from the Xia family, but she will definitely accept the money from the sale of her body. The other is to teach Mrs. He a lesson......

Since the relationship with Miss Li was not settled, Xia Shan has never returned home, and even the monthly salary is entrusted to others to bring back. But for the sake of Xia Meiniang, I also had to go back.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone and the two dogs and one bear are sitting in the courtyard to admire the moon, and there are moon cakes and fruits on the table, and the family of three is also called in.

In order to meet the occasion, Xia Ju and Zhu Cai also memorized a Yongyue poem of this era.

The sky is far away, the moon is shining, the moon is like frost, and the clouds are as light as a veil. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival moonlit night is beautiful.

It would be better if Ye Feng was there......

Xia Li was eating moon cakes, thinking about Ye Feng who was far away in the provincial capital.

When he was having fun, he stood up and listened with his ears pricked up, and ran to the east gate with a shout.

Zhu Er smiled, "Could it be that Xiong Da and Xiong Bile are here?" ”

Everyone came to the east gate, and after a while, they really saw two bears, one large and one small, coming out of the bushes at the foot of the mountain.

The two dogs and one bear immediately ran over, and the bear was so beautiful that he ran out of the "Ling Bo microstep".

Xia Li went into the house and took candy, snacks, and moon cakes for Zhu Er to take to entertain the guests, and went to the kitchen to get the sweet and sour pork ribs that were not eaten at night, which was Xiong Da and Xiong Bile's favorite.

After they had eaten, they sat and watched the people at the east gate for a while before turning and running towards the bushes.

Xiong Xiang still wanted to follow, but Xia Li stopped, "I can't go now, I'll go to play when I'm resting." ”

Xiong Xiang listened, and then stopped.

The arrival of those two special guests added a bit of surprise and joy to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The people admired the moon for a while, and then went back to the house to rest.
