On this weekend, Mr. Zhao gave him a day off.

Since the Gu family adopted An An, Xia Zhi has not taken An An to see Xia Jianye, so on the weekend, Xia Zhi planned to take a few children to Xia's house.

Unexpectedly, before Xia Zhi brought the child over, Xia Jianye had already called and asked Xia Zhi to go, because Xia Ai Dang came with his partner.

When Xia Zhi heard this, he immediately agreed, and when the children finished breakfast, Xia Zhi said to the children, "Let's go to grandpa's house in a while." ”

After speaking, he looked at An An and said, "An An, I haven't seen my grandfather yet, my mother will take you there in a while, and let your grandfather take a look at you too." ”

An An smiled and nodded, very well-behaved.

Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu listened, and said again and again, "Go, go, go!" Hold the child to do homework at home all day, today is the weekend, let the child play for a day. ”

Xia Zhi nodded busily and said, "Okay!" ”

This week, Xia Zhi detained these children to study at home every day, Mrs. Gu and Old Man Gu saw each other, and they were distressed, feeling that the children were so young, it was the age to play, it can be seen that several children are also serious about studying, although they are distressed, they are not disturbed.

Today is the weekend, it is rare to rest, the two old people want to let the children go out to play, Xia Zhi naturally has no opinion, changed a few children into new clothes, and went out.

Xia's house was not far from Gu's house, so Xia Zhi rejected Old Man Gu's proposal to let her drive her, and planned to walk over with a few children.

Ten minutes later, Xia Zhi took the five children to the door of Xia's house, and the little monkey had a lively personality and took the initiative to say, "Mom, I'll knock on the door." ”

After saying that, he jumped and knocked on the door.

Soon Xia Jianye opened the door and saw a little monkey standing outside the door, so he immediately happily picked up the little monkey, raised it high, and laughed, "Good boy, it's sinking again." ”

The little monkey smiled at Xia Jianye, and Xiao Baozi and Xiao Yu'er also stepped forward and shouted, "Grandpa." ”

Xia Jianye put down the little monkey, picked up the little bun and the little fish, lifted it twice, panted, and looked at the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi hurriedly said, "Dad, don't get used to them too much, don't flash your waist." ”

Xia Jianye is not young anymore, he is already tired and out of breath when he takes turns to hug the three children, Xia Zhi is really afraid of Xia Jianye, and accidentally flashes his waist for a while.

Xia Jianye waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I still often participate in training in the army." Then, Xia Jianye set his eyes on An An.

With the encouragement of Xia Zhi, An An stepped forward and shouted obediently, "Hello grandpa!" ”

Xia Jianye looked at it softly, and said with a smile, "You are An An, right?" ”

An An nodded, "Well, I'm An An." ”

The older Xia Jianye gets, the more gentle his personality becomes, and he said to An An, "It's a good boy, listen to your mother in the future." ”

Seeing Xia Jianye praising him for being a good boy, An An nodded with happy eyes and said loudly, "I will listen to my mother." ”

Xia Jianye smiled and waved his hand, "Enter the house, enter the house, it's too hot outside, the master will cut watermelon for you to eat." ”

Entering the house, Xia Jianye looked at Duoduo who was standing beside Xia Zhi, and said gently, "Duoduo, do you remember grandpa?" ”

Duoduo blinked at Xia Jianye with big eyes, showing a bright smile, Xia Jianye reached out and touched Duoduo's little head, and said softly, "Good boy." ”

As soon as Xia Solstice entered the house, he saw a beautiful girl sitting on the sofa.

Girls have apricot eyes and small faces, are not tall, thin, and have timid eyes, which can easily arouse people's desire to protect.

When Xia Aidang saw Xia Zhi, he hurriedly stood up and shouted a little shyly, "Eldest sister, you are here." ”

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded at Xia Ai Dang, and the little monkey and the other three skin boys ran to Xia Ai Dang, raised their heads and shouted, "Little uncle." ”

Xia Aidang responded with a smile, then took out a large watermelon from the kitchen, still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, neatly cut the watermelon into pieces, and then handed it to the three skin boys and said, "Eat." ”

The three boys didn't see each other, and they took it and ate it in a big gulp, Xia Zhi led Duoduo and An An forward, and said to Xia Aidang, "This is An An, and I will be my son in the future." ”

Then he said to An An, "An An, this is my little uncle." ”

An An immediately shouted obediently, "Little uncle." ”

Xia Aidang replied, "Hey"

Xia Aidang also heard his father say that his eldest sister had adopted another child, he was used to it, he responded with a smile, and then handed An An and Duoduo a piece of watermelon.

Xia Zhi said to the two children, "Uncle Xiao gave it, eat it quickly!"

Xia Jianye sat down on the side and watched a few children eating happily, with a particularly bright smile on his face.

Xia Aidang took another piece of watermelon and handed it to the beautiful girl, "Eat it." ”

The girl took it with an embarrassed look on her face.

Xia Aidang blushed and introduced Xia Zhi, "Sister, this is my object Li Xiulan." ”

Xia Zhi nodded at Li Xiulan with a smile, "Hello! ”

Xia Aidang said to Li Xiulan again, "Xiulan, this is my eldest sister Xia Zhi. ”

Li Xiulan swept around Xia Zhi with a pair of big eyes, and then shouted shyly, "Sister." ”

Xia Zhi pulled Duoduo to sit down on the sofa, then opened the box he was carrying, and said to Xia Jianye, "Dad, this is the red bean cake I made, you can taste it." ”

Xia Jianye liked the red bean cake made by Xia Zhi very much, so when he heard this, he picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it, squinting his eyes and praising Xia Zhi, "The red bean cake you made is still delicious." ”

Xia Zhi said to Xia Aidang and Li Xiulan again, "You can also taste it, don't be polite." ”

Li Xiulan looked at the red bean cake that exuded a sweet and greasy aroma on the table, she was really not polite, she reached out and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but take another piece.

Xia Ai Dang looked at it with a smile on the side, and when he saw that Li Xiulan liked it, he said to Xia Zhi, "Sister, Xiulan likes to eat sweets." ”

Xia Zhi smiled, "If you like it, eat more." ”

Li Xiulan looked at Xia Zhi and smiled, "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

In the end, most of the red bean cake brought by Xia Zhi entered Li Xiulan's mouth, and after eating, Xia Zhi asked Li Xiulan, "How old is this year?" ”

Li Xiulan smiled and said, "I'm 18 years old." ”

Xia Zhi nodded, and asked again, "Who are the people in the family?" I heard from the Patriotic Party, you are still a temporary worker, what are you doing? ”

Originally, these problems should have been Yang Xinyi's concern, but Yang Xinyi has gone crazy, the eldest sister is like a mother, Xia Jianye called Xia Zhilai, just hoping that Xia Zhi can explore Li Xiulan's bottom, after all, the two parties will get married in the future, and they can't even know each other's family situation.

Xia Zhi and Xia Ai's sister and brother have a good relationship, so they are naturally willing to help with this, Li Xiulan listened to Xia Zhi's inquiry, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, and she quickly covered up the past, and said in a calm tone, "My dad is the boss, my grandparents live in my house, and I also have an older brother, three younger sisters and two younger brothers." ”

Xia Zhi nodded and didn't say anything, but Li Xiulan's eyes suddenly turned red, which startled Xia Zhi and Xia Jianye, and only listened to Li Xiulan's sad tone, "My brother was also a temporary worker in the factory, but when he was careless, the machine broke his finger, so he had to go home. ”

Xia Zhi and Xia Jianye glanced at each other, and Xia Zhi was puzzled, "Since you have two younger brothers, why didn't your brother's class let your younger brother replace you?" ”

This is not that the summer solstice is patriarchal, but that the phenomenon of patriarchy in this society is particularly serious now, since Li Xiulan has a younger brother, her parents should let their son take over in order for their son to have a good job in the future and provide for them to provide for the elderly, how can the successor be Li Xiulan?

A flash of panic flashed in Li Xiulan's eyes, and she said casually, "My younger brother is still young, let me replace him in this class first." ”

Although Li Xiulan didn't say it explicitly, Xia Zhi also roughly guessed that Li Xiulan's job would still be given to his younger brother when her brother grew up, but if Li Xiulan was a good one, the Xia family didn't care about this, the key was Li Xiulan's character.

Xia Aidang on the side looked at Li Xiulan distressedly, and said to Xia Zhi, "Eldest sister, you don't know, Xiulan is hard, their family is poor, all rely on Xiulan's little salary, she is a temporary worker, the salary is still small, and she has to leave most of the money at home every month, and she often goes to work hungry..."

Xia Zhi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, now is not a three-year natural disaster, at that time, there was no food in the field, and people had to be hungry all the time, but now that the year is good, as long as the family is willing to work and work more, it should not be difficult to eat enough.

Could it be that Li Xiulan's younger brothers and sisters are all in school?

Xia Zhi looked at Li Xiulan and asked, "Are your younger brothers and sisters all in school?" ”

Li Xiulan glanced at Xia Zhi quickly, and then whispered, "No, my parents think it's useless for girls to go to school, my two younger brothers have been in school for two years, but they often skip class, and then they slowly stop going." ”

Xia Zhi listened carefully, and then asked, "Do your younger brothers and sisters help the family?" ”

Li Xiulan said as a matter of course, "My three younger sisters help at home, and my two younger brothers, my mother said that they are still young, so they will not be allowed to work." ”

Xia Zhi nodded, and then asked, "What about your eldest brother?" ”

Li Xiulan sighed and said, "Since my eldest brother's two fingers were broken, the woman who was married to my eldest brother broke up with my eldest brother, and my mother can only save some more bride price money for my eldest brother in order to marry another daughter-in-law for my eldest brother." ”

After listening to it, Xia Zhi said, "It's really hard." ”

Then, let Xia Ai lead Li Xiulan out for a walk.

When Xia Aidang and Li Xiulan heard this, they stood up, and Xia Aidang shouted at a few children, "Let's go, my little uncle will buy you candy to eat." ”

As soon as the three leather boys heard this, they happily gathered around Xia Aidang, and Xia Zhi said to An An, who was standing beside her, "An An also go to play with my little uncle, and my mother will say a few words to my grandfather." ”

An An nodded obediently and went with her.

Xia Zhi's current impression of Li Xiulan is not good, but it is not bad, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they have seen people's hearts for a long time, through a short conversation, Xia Zhi has not been able to determine Li Xiulan's personality.

At this time, only Xia Jianye, Xia Zhi and Duoduo were left in the house.

When the person left, Xia Jianye seemed more comfortable, and asked Xia Zhidao, "What do you think of that girl?" ”

Xia Zhi said truthfully, "Time is too short, how can I see her at a glance?" ”

Xia Jianye sighed when he heard it and said, "That's right, I will see people's hearts for a long time." ”

Xia Zhi saw that Xia Jianye was not very happy, so he asked, "Are you dissatisfied with that girl?" ”

Xia Jianye thought for a while and said, "Not really, I just think that girl is too childish, and there are many drags on the family." ”

Xia Jianye is really afraid that this Li Xiulan is the same as Yang Xinyi, after getting married, she only cares about her mother's family, and wants to pull any good things to her parents' family.

Xia Zhi listened, thought for a while, and said, "Since you love the party, let them get along for a while." ”

Xia Jianye could only nod.

After chatting with Li Xiulan, Xia Jianye said happily, "There is another thing that called you here today, yesterday one of my old subordinates sent me two big carps, and I knew that the three children liked to eat fish, so I called you here." ”

Xia Zhi smiled, "Dad, don't spoil them too much." ”

Xia Jianye said happily, "I'm happy to spoil them." ”

Next, Xia Zhi went to the kitchen and saw the two big carps weighing five or six pounds.

Xia Jianye helped Xia Zhi clean up the carp, Xia Zhi planned to make a braised carp, a sweet and sour carp, Xia Jianye had no opinion, Xia Zhi had good cooking skills, no matter what he did, it was delicious.

Xia Jianye and Xia Zhi were busy in the kitchen, so Duoduo moved a small bench and sat in the corner of the kitchen, chasing Xia Zhi's figure with his eyes, looking well-behaved and cute.

Xia Zhi and Xia Jianye were cooking, and Xia Aidang and Li Xiulan led their four children back.

As soon as the four children entered the door, they began to call Mom: Mom, Xia Zhi was heating oil in the kitchen, and he answered loudly.

An An led the three younger brothers to the door of the kitchen, Xia Jianye saw that the four children were about to enter the kitchen, and hurriedly stopped, "Good boy, play outside, the oil is hot in this kitchen, don't accidentally burn you." ”

When An An heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop his three younger brothers from breaking in.

While Xia Zhi was heating the oil, he looked at the four children and asked, "What kind of candy did my little uncle buy for you?" ”

The little monkey whispered quickly, "Fruit candy." ”

Xia Zhi smiled, saw Duoduo sitting on the side, and then said, "Then did you leave one for Sister Duoduo?" ”

Xia Zhi said this casually, the four children looked at each other, and finally An An took out a fruit candy from his pocket and showed it to Xia Zhi, and then said with a smile, "Keep it, this candy is for my sister to eat." ”

The little monkey saw the candy in An An's hand and said in surprise, "Brother, you didn't eat it?" ”

Xia Zhi was puzzled, "Do you each have only one piece of sugar?" ”

The little monkey nodded, a little disappointed, "Uncle Xiao originally wanted to buy us a pound of fruit candy, but Aunt Xiulan said that it was enough for a child to eat one candy alone, and then she bought four, I said that there is still Sister Duoduo, but Aunt Xiulan said that girls don't like to eat candy, and then she didn't buy it for Sister Duoduo." ”

Whether it is the Gu family or the Xia family, they are relatively wealthy, so the two families have never been stingy when buying things for their children.

Whether it is the summer solstice or the summer love party, in the past, buying candy for children was bought by the pound, and there was never a time to buy it.

Seeing that the little monkey was still aggrieved, Xia Zhi wiped his hands and said, "An An, this candy is yours, you eat it yourself, your mother gives you money, and you lead your younger brother to buy another catty." ”

Xia Jianye on the side was dissatisfied, and said to Xia Zhi, "See, it's just such a small family." Xia Zhi didn't say anything after hearing this.

Soon, Xia Aidang and Li Xiulan entered the door.

Xia Jianye walked out of the kitchen with a calm face, looked at his son, who was smiling and flattering Li Xiulan, and said unhappily, "You stinky boy, you are still someone's uncle, buy candy for your child, and forget about it, why don't you buy a lot of sugar?" ”

Seeing Xia Jianye's gloomy face, Xia Aidang sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid that a few children will eat too much sugar, which will be bad for their teeth?" ”

Xia Jianye reprimanded unhappily, "Nonsense." ”

Li Xiulan, who was standing beside Xia Aidang, said busily, "Uncle, don't blame Ai Dang for this matter, I asked him to do this." ”

Xia Jianye looked at Li Xiulan with a calm face, Li Xiulan smiled and said, "Uncle, you can't be too used to children, fruit candy is so expensive, it's not enough for one person to eat one, and you can't eat fruit candy as a meal." ”

"Duoduo is a girl, how can a boy be expensive, eat less sugar, it's nothing."

The key is that the person who buys the sugar is Xia Ai Party, Li Xiulan is not willing to let Xia Ai Party spend money, she already regards Xia Ai Party's money as her own.

After all, during this time, Li Xiulan's salary was all handed over to her family, she often starved, and Xia Aidang was distressed when she saw it, and gave Li Xiulan most of her salary.

Li Xiulan's words made Xia Jianye very angry, Xia Jianye said with a calm face, "Your girls are not valuable, our girls are very valuable, and they can eat whatever they want." ”

After Xia Jianye finished speaking, he took out a big unity from his pocket, stuffed it into An An's hand, and said arrogantly, "Good boy, go buy some delicious food, buy more." ”

An An looked at Xia Jianye, and then looked at Li Xiulan's embarrassed face, nodded obediently, and led the three younger brothers out.

Xia Jianye glanced at Li Xiulan meaningfully, turned around and went into the kitchen, Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xiulan without speaking, and turned around and went into the kitchen.

Li Xiulan noticed that Xia Jianye and Xia Zhi didn't like her, and she was angry, but her face showed grievances, and she looked at Xia Aidang and said, "Love the party, did I do something wrong?" ”

Xia Aidang was a little embarrassed and said, "I said just now that I wanted to buy more, but you didn't let me, now it's okay, my father and sister are angry." ”

Li Xiulan bit her lip and said very aggrieved, "Who am I for, not for you." ”

"How expensive is the toffee, the eldest sister has so many children, the child wants to eat toffee, she should pay for it herself, why should you pay for it to buy candy for the child."

Xia Aidang listened to Li Xiulan's words, and immediately said dissatisfied, "What are you talking about?" I'm the child's uncle, buy candy for the child to eat, what's wrong? When I was a child, my eldest sister was very kind to me. ”

Li Xiulan was not convinced, but her face followed Xia Ai's party, "Okay, I know it's wrong, you can't be angry with me." ”

Xia Aidang saw that Li Xiulan had admitted her mistake, and then she showed a little smile on her face, waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't be angry with you." ”

Li Xiulan showed a smile on her face, looking at Xia Aidang affectionately, looking at Xia Aidang with fascination, her cheeks were hot, and her brain was dizzy.

Xia Jianye returned to the kitchen and said to Xia Zhi, "See, listen to what she just said." ”

Xia Jianye saw Yang Xinyi's shadow in Li Xiulan, and the more he looked at Li Xiulan at this time, the more unpleasant he became.

Xia Jianye pondered for a moment and said to Xia Zhi, "I can't agree to this marriage, this Li Xiulan is not like a person who can live in peace." ”

Xia Zhi also had a bad impression of Li Xiulan, and when he heard this, he said, "Dad, you should talk to the love party about this matter, if he doesn't marry Li Xiulan, we can't do anything." ”

Xia Jianye snorted coldly, "I have the final say in this matter, and I can't let another stirrup enter the door." ”

After the meal was cooked, An An also led his three younger brothers back, carrying a pound of toffee in his hand.

An An still had a few yuan left in his hand, and he wanted to return it to Xia Jianye, Xia Jianye smiled and said, "Good boy, take the flowers yourself." ”

An An hurriedly shook his head, at this time, a few dollars was already a lot, and adults usually gave children pocket money for one or two cents.

Xia Zhi also said, "The child is still young, you give him so much money, and he doesn't know how to spend it." ”

Xia Jianye said, "Don't care, An An, you can take the rest of the money and buy delicious food for your brother and sister." ”

Seeing Xia Jianye's insistence, Xia Zhi nodded, and An An carefully put a few yuan in his pocket and sat aside.

When Li Xiulan saw it, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she thought that she was not the daughter-in-law of the Xia family now, so she barely spoke.

Xia Zhi brought two fish to the table, and one person served a bowl of rice, Li Xiulan was used to saving, when had she ever seen such a sumptuous dish, looking at the dishes on the table with a strong aroma, Li Xiulan's saliva almost flowed out.

Xia Jianye picked up the rice bowl and said to a few children with a smile, "I'm hungry, eat quickly." ”

With Xia Jianye's permission, the children put down chopsticks.

Li Xiulan was not polite at all, she pulled it on the belly of the fish with chopsticks, picked up a large piece of fish meat, and put it in her bowl.

The sweet and sour carp made on the summer solstice is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, Li Xiulan ate her mouth full of oil, while eating in her mouth, her eyes were still staring at the rest of the fish on the table, as if she was afraid that others would eat it up, swallowed the meat in her mouth, hurriedly put down her chopsticks again, sandwiched a large piece, and put it into her bowl.

Several children were shocked by the speed at which Li Xiulan ate, Xia Zhi sighed in his heart, and then flipped the fish over, and the other side had already been eaten by Li Xiulan herself.

This side is still complete, and several children were about to put down their chopsticks to pick up the fish and meat, but unexpectedly, Li Xiulan quickly grabbed a large piece and put it in her bowl.

A large piece of the fish's belly was missing, leaving only the tail and gills of the fish and some meat, and Xia Jianye's face turned black.

was about to get angry, thinking that Li Xiulan was a guest, so he held back his anger and used chopsticks to clip a large piece of fish meat for each child, and in the blink of an eye, only fish bones were left on the table......
