Xianggui

Chapter 13 Xue Shi ([-])

Ding Zhao asked again, "Is there anyone in the village who gave birth to calves or lambs? Xiangxiang's aroma shocked Mrs. Zhang, and her grandmother also scared her back. Since Xiangxiang was born, she has been drinking rice soup. I will buy it. Here comes a bowl of milk."

Ding Zhuang's distressed face was all wrinkled, "My poor granddaughter, I have suffered from old age. Your third uncle's ewe just gave birth to a lamb, so I went to his house to ask for some goat milk. Oh, if I had known today , our family will not buy bulls or cows.”

Ding Zhao went out with a gift for Sanfang.

After listening to the conversation between the father and son, Ding Xiang felt that she had won the big prize.It is said that in ancient times, boys were preferred to girls, but this family is not only the opposite, but also treats girls as treasures for special reasons.

Especially Ding Zhao, he knew that he was not his own daughter.

Ding Xiang felt Ding Zhuang's big hand gently stroking her face.The big hand dangled in front of her eyes, rubbing her face with the back of her hand instead of her fingers.Probably the iron man's fingers had thick calluses, so he used the back of his hand.

Ding Xiang couldn't help calling silently, "Grandpa."

The grandparents in the previous life were patriarchal and did not like this granddaughter.After my parents divorced, I never saw them again.

Unexpectedly, this life gave her a pair of adoptive parents who loved her, and also gave her a good grandfather who loved her.

After a while, Ding Zhao came back with a large bowl of goat milk, and Mrs. Zhang took it to the kitchen to cook.

The food is already on the table.Seeing the roast chicken on the table, the two brothers Ding Lichun swallowed very clearly.

Ding Zhuang ignored his grandson's greediness and said, "Feed Xiangxiang before eating. Poor thing, I've been drinking rice soup for so long."

Mrs. Zhang came in with the boiled goat's milk, let it cool down and fed it to Clove.

The goat's milk had a smell of mutton, but Clove still endured the nausea and drank it.Goat milk is good for the body, she wants to grow tall and juicy, she can't just drink rice soup.I also want to finish eating quickly, so that the two little brothers can eat roast chicken earlier.

Xiangxiang ate and drank enough, and was placed on a big chair with armrests.Surrounded by quilts on three sides, a stool was placed in front.

They watched her while they ate.

Ding Zhuang was happy, and tore a roasted chicken leg for the sweet-mouthed Ding Liren, and Ding Zhao tore another chicken leg and put it in his father's bowl.

Ding Liren's eyes disappeared from laughter, and he gnawed on the chicken leg.

Ding Zhuang and his son talked about their respective situations while drinking.

How Ding Zhao healed his arm, earned money in the medical clinic, and learned the skills of curing boils and making pills by the way...

The crops in my hometown are all harvested, how much food is left, how much tax is paid...

Ding Lichun went to a private school in the town to study at the beginning of this year, and he couldn't write a few big characters after studying for more than half a year, and was often beaten and scolded by his husband, much worse than Ding Zhao back then.Look again, he really can't read it, and in the future he will only learn to forge from them...

I am happier to have a granddaughter than to have a grandson. I will treat you in a few days.Not only should the third house and the big house be invited, but also all relatives from the neighboring villages should be invited, and the Ding Xia family must not be invited.The relationship between Ding Zhuang and his eldest brother Ding Li has only eased in the past few years, and they still have nothing to do with Ding Xia...

Ding Lichun complained again, "My father got into a fight a few months ago and was limping for several days."

Ding Zhao worried, "Is Dad physically injured? No matter what happens, we should wait until my son comes back to beat him."

Ding Zhuang said, "I'm not old yet, why did I wait for you to come back to fight? Damn it, those bastards bullied the third child and ran to his shop to collect protection money. They didn't put my Ding Hong's nose on the ground." In my eyes. I led Liangzi and Shitou to beat them up for several days. Hmph, I thought I was too old to beat them. I didn’t even ask. When they were still breastfeeding, I was Gu’an Town No. [-] bully."

Ding Xiang smacked her lips, such a gentle grandfather used to like to fight in groups, and he was still a "dominant".Ding Hongnose, this nickname is not good.

Ding Liren, the young lady, is concerned about her own problems.

"Daddy, how much is a catty of roast chicken?"

"28 Wen a catty."

"It's 25 Wen a catty in town, it's too expensive for you."

Mrs. Zhang explained, "I bought the Guo chicken in Baishui Town, and his roast chicken is also very famous in the county."

Ding Lichun said, "It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, as long as it tastes good. Today's roast chicken is really delicious."

Ding Zhuang snorted, "As long as you are greedy, the family's money is not brought by the strong wind. You can't eat poorly and wear poorly, so you can't calculate that you will be poor forever."

Ding Liren hurriedly expressed his opinion, "Grandfather and father have worked very hard to make money."

Ding Zhuang nodded, and put another piece of chicken in the second grandson's bowl.

Ding Lichun puffed up his cheeks in anger.

Lilac is funny.Ding Lichun is a tough guy, and Ding Liren is a little fine bean.

This home is a lot of fun.

She listened to the gossip, smelled the smell of roast chicken and wine, and fell into a dream.

What she didn't know was that the third grandpa Ding Shan brought the third grandmother Xie Shi and little cousin Ding Zhen to see her, and Xie Shi hugged her and praised her fiercely.

Ding Zhuang smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Ding Xiang was awakened by a suppressed moan.

You don't need to listen too much, you know that Ding Zhao and Zhang are doing that.

After listening to the drama patiently, he continued to listen to the couple talking about family affairs.

Mrs. Zhang asked, "Really don't tell Dad about Xiangxiang's life experience?"

Ding Zhao said, "Don't talk about it. Dad put his thoughts on my mother on Xiangxiang, and he feels much better. We treat Xiangxiang as our own daughter, so it's good."

Mrs. Zhang asked again, "The head of the family, what kind of person is the mother-in-law? Is she really an illegitimate daughter?"

He didn't get an answer from his husband, so he hurriedly said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

Since she married into this family, her father-in-law and husband only talked about how beautiful and virtuous her mother-in-law was, and how much hardship she had endured, but never mentioned her background, and Ding Zhao had never been to her mother's house.

She had heard some discussions from the villagers, saying that Xue was as beautiful as a fairy, that she was the illegitimate daughter of a rich family, and that she couldn't survive at home, so she was willing to marry the ugly and poor Tiejiang Ding.Some people also said that Mrs. Xue came out of the building, and Ding Zhuang made up this background for the sake of face...

Ding Zhao was silent for a long time, Ding Xiang thought he fell asleep, so he spoke again.

"My mother was indeed the illegitimate daughter of Xue Pingfu, the richest man in Linshui County at that time, and she got a job in the county government. The Xue family lived in Linshui County before, but later moved to the provincial capital. My mother lived in the countryside with my grandma when I was young. After my grandma died, my grandpa took my mother to the county town and lived in another courtyard outside.

"One year later, my grandfather also died of a sudden illness. My mother's affairs were known by her aunt. That old woman came to her door and wanted to sell my mother to a high-ranking official as a concubine. My mother was unwilling..."

When Ding Zhuang was still an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, his master asked him to deliver kitchen knives to the county that day.When passing by a lake, he encountered someone who committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake.Many people surrounded the shore, but no one went into the water to save them.

Ding Zhuang didn't think too much about it, so he jumped off the lake to rescue him.

Unexpectedly, Xue's aunt was among the spectators by the lake.

Perhaps seeing that Ding Zhuang was poor and ugly, the aunt of the Xue family said to Xue, "Your reputation has been ruined by him, and you cannot marry a good man. Choose the path I chose for you, or choose to marry him." ?”
