Li Xia took a sip of the tea brought by Xiao Hu, and finally stopped coughing. He lowered his eyelids to look at the little black fish, then looked at Xia Zhi, and his heart was truly complicated. These two little guys were really making him both love and hate them, he had been teased and played with enough today by these two mischievous uncle and nephew!

  Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia quickly, who didn't say a word. On the surface, Li Xia didn't seem angry. Xia Zhi had already figured out that Li Xia was a well-mannered person. But she thought to herself, at this moment, Li Xia should be regretting inviting them for dinner so much that his intestines were turning green with regret.

  "Li Xia," said Xia Zhi with a tilted head, sizing up Li Xia, "Li Xia, aren't you angry?"

  "Of course not." Li Xia had caught his breath, and with a bright smile, he asked Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei if they wanted to eat anything else. Since both children said they were full, he told them to wait for him, "I'm not full yet, I want to eat some more."

  Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei nodded. Xia Zhi had noticed earlier that when they saw Li Xia, Li Xia's mood was actually very bad, but later on, being with them slowly cheered him up. Moreover, during this period of time, Li Xia was watching them eat, while he himself hadn't even touched his chopsticks yet.

  Li Xia saw them nodding in agreement, so he didn't order any more dishes. He picked up a bowl of rice and ate the remaining dishes with relish. While eating, he also chatted with the two children.

  "Uncle, have you found a wife yet?"

  Xia Zhi just blinked his eyes. Little Black Fish can bully others, but others cannot bully Little Black Fish at all. Moreover, Xia Zhi was not intentionally bullying Li Xia just now. Now Li Xia is asking about Little Black Fish's wife, which is clearly teasing Little Black Fish.

  Xiao Hei is only seven years old, where did he get a wife from? He doesn't even know what a wife is.

  "I don't want a wife." Xiao Hei Yu didn't wait for Xia Zhi to say anything and immediately responded loudly to Li Xia, and even waved his hand like a little adult, as if trying to shake off something annoying. "I don't want a wife, it's troublesome."

  Li Xia smiled silently.

  The little black fish didn't mind at all. He was often asked like this and had gotten used to it. Xia Zhi also laughed, she almost forgot. These adults loved teasing kids like this.

  After laughing at Xia Zhi, he asked Li Xia: "Li Xia, is this Ju Xian wine house your family business?"

  Li Xia nodded: "It's on me. From now on, when you come to town and want to eat, just go find Manager Feng and have him arrange it, I'll take care of the bill."

  "Li Xia, you're a real friend!" Little Black Fish chuckled.

  "It's fine as long as you're willing to be friends with me." Li Xia smiled. He suddenly realized that his mood had become so good without him noticing. Actually, when he first saw these two kids, he liked them in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have brought the two kids out for dinner. Even if they needed help, he could arrange for someone to take care of it easily.

  After getting along with them like this, he really and truly liked them, enjoyed being with them. These two little ghosts were really endearing.

  "If I didn't consider you a friend, I wouldn't have said those things." Xiao Heiyu said matter-of-factly, then whispered to Xia Zhi for a moment before telling Li Xia, "Li Xia, my home is in Daxing Village. If you ask around the village about Old Xia's family, you'll know where it is. When you come to Daxing Village, just stay at my place. My parents will definitely be delighted to have you."

  "Then I'll go bother Old Uncle from now on." Li Xia's attitude was also very straightforward and sincere.

  Li Xia asked after finishing eating, "Do you have any other plans, Xiao Hei Yu and Xia Zhi? Are you going back to the temple or somewhere else? I'm free for the rest of the afternoon, and I can give you a ride wherever you want to go."

  Although the summer solstice had passed noon, the sky was still early. Neither Mr. Xia nor Mr. and Mrs. Xia Liu would have thought of going back, so she planned to stroll around the town.

  "I want to buy some things." Xia Zhi told Li Xia, "Li Xia, we're going to stroll around for half a day, you don't need to accompany us. You didn't come with your family, you came out by yourself for half a day, they should be looking for you now."

  "It's okay, there are many people at home, don't miss me. I'm happy to be with you two." By this time, he had already learned the way of speaking of Xiao Heiyu and Li Xia.

  Xiao Hei was quite happy about it. Xia Zhi thought for a moment and didn't object either. Li Xia Zhen wasn't someone you'd dislike. They got along well together. Having one more person to stroll with made things more lively.

  Three people and a dog came out of the wine building, Xia Zhi didn't let Li Xia drive the car, so they walked. The shops on both sides of the street were lined up like a pedestrian shopping street. In such a place, you have to walk step by step, looking at each family one by one is interesting.

  Li Xia was worried that they were too young and couldn't walk, especially Xiao Hei Yu. But Xiao Hei Yu was jumping around energetically, not showing any signs of tiredness at all. If Xiao Hei Yu couldn't walk, he could just carry him, no big deal, so he nodded in agreement.

  "Which store do you want to go to? Tell me, I'm a bit more familiar with this place than you are."

  "I'd love to go for a stroll." Xia Zhi smiled, but considering Li Xia and Xiao Hei Yu'er, she didn't actually do it.

  She first entered a stationery store. She bought half a knife of paper, two thick drawing books, and two lake pens, then picked out two pieces of affordable ink that were said to be selling very well.

  Because the shop also sells books, new and old. She was picking and choosing on the bookshelf, finally selecting an old local gazetteer. She had originally wanted to choose two more, but the money in her purse was going down too fast, she still had many things to buy, so she stopped.

  Buy what is needed first, and then when she has more money in her hands, buy some more books to read.

  Li Xia was surprised when he saw Xia Zhi buying a local gazette. He took the book from Xia Zhi's hand and flipped through it, then asked Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, do you understand this book?"

  Now that Xia Zhi has recognized the characters, she still can't fully understand this local gazetteer. She wants to learn, but doesn't plan to start with primers. She uses this local gazetteer as her own character recognition book. What she wants is not to participate in the imperial examination, she needs common sense and a deeper understanding of her surroundings.

  Listening to Xia Zhi's explanation, Li Xia nodded repeatedly, thinking that the little girl was very clever. "Indeed, it's not a bad choice." He also saw that Xia Zhi didn't have much money.

  In fact, it can be seen from the dress of the uncle and nephew.

  The little black fish worn by Uncle is better than Xia Zhi, but also made of cloth. The clothes are well-made and the embroidery is very delicate. He should be from a middle-class family and was very cherished and pampered at home.

  Being a niece, Xia Zhi is different. Xia Zhi's clothes are very old, with many mending marks and do not fit well. Xia Zhi's family background should be even poorer, and she is also not valued at home.

  He didn't ask directly, but from the conversation between the two children, he could guess. Although they were biological uncle and nephew, they had long been separated and lived apart. Looking at the intimate appearance of the uncle and nephew, it didn't seem like there was any gap due to wealth or poverty.

  That's a bit strange.
