Xia Zhi and Tian Shi were busy in the main house and courtyard, feeding chickens and pigs, and preparing breakfast for the family. After a while, Xia Xiucai and Xia Qiao also came out to wash up. Whenever Xia Xiucai was home for meals, Tian Shi would specially prepare extra dishes, but Xia Zhi wasn't worried, she just took out an egg to boil separately.

  "Dead girl, what are you doing?" Tian Shi saw her and asked with wide eyes.

  "Boil an egg for Uncle Lao." Xia Zhi replied matter-of-factly.

  Tian's anger surged, and he glanced in the direction of the west wing, but ultimately didn't dare to speak loudly or say anything too excessive. He just glared at Xia Zhi hatefully, telling her to put the eggs back.

  Xia Xiuzai saw it and advised Tian Shi: "This matter was thought of by the sixteenth, just one egg, you are a big sister-in-law..."

  Tian understood and realized that Xia Zhi was intentionally letting Xia Xiuzai see. She gritted her teeth, no longer stopping him, but instead called out to Xia Zhi even more.

  The summer solstice is nothing special, she will naturally go and do what needs to be done.

  Dai Qing in the western house cried out, Xia Zhi knew that Xiao Hei Yu Er was awake, and hurriedly carried a basin of water to the western house. Seeing her like this, Tian Shi hated her even more, gritting her teeth, but could only secretly get angry, not daring to say anything.

  The little black fish is already very capable of taking care of himself, but he still obediently let Xia Zhi wash his face, showing affection.

  "Uncle, did you sleep well last night?" Xia Zhi asked Xiao Hei Yu.

  "Good." Little Black Fish replied with a smile.

  "Xiao Long, time for breakfast." Xia Xiuzai smiled and called out to Xiao Long, inviting him to have breakfast together.

  The little black fish shook his head: "No, I'll go back and eat." This was what Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia had instructed him. He could keep Summer company, but he shouldn't eat at Summer's house. It wasn't worth it to make the Tian family unhappy, or even have some complaints, over such a small matter.

  "Old uncle, let's have breakfast together." Xia Zhi also kept a small black fish.

  Xiao Hei Yu still shook his head and had Xia Zhi follow him to the backyard for dinner. "Your grandfather and grandmother said they made your meal."

  This sentence, Xia Zhi believed. Xiao Hei Yu Er had made up his mind not to stay for dinner, so Xia Zhi didn't insist, of course she didn't follow Xiao Hei Yu Er to the backyard either, but only put the cooked eggs in Xiao Hei Yu Er's pocket and let him take them back to eat.

  "In the future, at home, I will be at least half of the family." Xia Zhi's low voice told Xiao Hei Yu.

  The little black fish nodded and did not refuse Xia Zhi's egg. He happily took Da Qing and left.

  The eastern house had a kang with a table set on it, and the whole family sat around it.

  The staple food for breakfast is a mixture of glutinous rice and millet. Xia Xiuzai never eats from a small stove, when he's at the dinner table, everyone in the family eats the same dishes, this is one of the few things Xia Xiuzai insists on.

  Xia Xiuzai has a gentle personality, and the three children are all well-behaved. As long as Tian Shi doesn't get angry and make trouble, the atmosphere of the whole family is always very good.

  After breakfast, Tian Shi let Xia Zhi collect the bowls and chopsticks. She was busy sorting out the things that Xia Xiuzai had brought back yesterday, and took out all the eggs stored in the gourd, packing them into a basket instead.

  Xia Xiuzai said she wanted to spend money to buy things for the Tian family again, but Mrs. Tian didn't allow it, so she planned to bring all the eggs from her home over. They needed to save up their money for Dabao's marriage, and they would try to save as much as possible.

  Xia Zhi didn't know about this because she hadn't heard Xia Xiuzai and Tian Shi talking again after that. However, with a cold glance, she guessed eight or nine out of ten. She seized an opportunity to ask Xia Qiao, just as she had speculated, last night Tian Shi and Xia Xiuzai agreed that the two would go to Lao Shan Tun's home today.

  Tian's family wants Xia Xiuzai to bring gifts and apologize in person, then promise to marry Tian Dabao a daughter-in-law.

  Xia Xiuzai walked to the front yard, and Xia Zhi followed him.

  "Dad, are you going to Grandma's house?" Xia Zhi asked.

  "Yes." Xia Xiuzai smiled, because Xia Zhi stared at him without letting go, he felt that he should say something. "Sixteen, don't worry. Your mother was also forced by your grandparents to come up with such a clumsy plan. Now your mother has figured it out and won't force you anymore. So, daughter, just smile, don't look so gloomy."

  As he said this, Xia Xiuzai leaned down and deliberately teased Xia Zhi for a sentence.

  "We sixteen are the most beautiful young ladies in Daxing Village."

  "Father, how much silver are you going to prepare for the Tian family?"

  Xia Xiuzai was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood that Xia Zhi must have overheard his conversation with Tian Shi.

  "Whatever you say, Mother." Xia Xiuzai still smiled warmly.

  Summer stopped making a sound and turned around to leave. She didn't want to bother with Xia Xiuzai anymore. However, after walking a few steps, she came back again.

  "Dad, I want to renovate the western house." Xia Zhi discussed with Xia Xiucan, "Now the house is narrow and damp, and it attracts insects."

  "How do you want to settle this?" Xia Xiuzai asked with a smile.

  "Move all the clutter out. The house will be mine from now on." Xia Zhi said, glancing inside the house. Tian Shi was not in the room, she must have gone out.

  "Alright." Xia Xiuzai nodded with a sense of relief. The western wing didn't have anything particularly important, and moving things out would make space for other things.

  "Then tell it to my mother." Xia Zhi looked at Xia Xiuzai.

  "Good." Xia Xiuzai nodded.

  Xia Zhi stood there, continuing to look at Xia Xiucái.

  Xia Xiuzai's smile grew bigger. "Wait a minute, I'll tell you when your mother is in a good mood. I'll definitely tell you."

  "Uh-huh." Xia Zhi nodded, "Then I'll pack up today."

  "Let's call it quits." Xia Xiuzai smiled.

  Having gotten what he wanted, Xia Zhi turned around and ignored Xia Xiuzai from then on.

  To return to her mother's home, Tian Shi's movements were exceptionally swift. In a short while, she had prepared everything and even asked Xia Qiao to hire a carriage. Xia Qiao helped Tian Shi move things onto the carriage.

  Everyone on the street saw Tian's family.

  Tian's family still wore the outfit of a proud and satisfied daughter, with a smile on her face. When someone spoke to her, she said that she was going back to her parents' home with Xia Xiucai.

  Xia Zhi looked at Tian Shi, and her heart moved slightly. She called Xia Shu over to one side.

  "Little tree, mother is going to grandma's house, shall I take you along?"

  Xia Shu shook his head and Tian said he wouldn't bring him today.

  "Sister, I'd be happy to stay home with you." Xia Shu smiled ingratiatingly at Xia Zhi.

  "You have to go with your mother." Xia Zhi said.

  "My mother said she wouldn't take me."

  "Then you'll have to stick with it. Father is going too, and you can say that you miss him, but also miss Mother." Xia Zhi told Xia Shu that no matter what, he had to go back to Kao Shan Tun with Tian Shi today, and not leave his side for a single step.

  "You must listen carefully to what Father, Mother and Grandpa Grandma said, and come back to recite it to me word for word." Xia Zhi instructed Xia Shu.

  "Ah......" Shu rubbed his head.

  "Can you really do it?" Xia Zhi asked Xia Shu.
