Xianggui

Chapter 41 Price
At dusk that day, clouds of fire swept across the western sky, and Ding Xiang and Hei Zi stood at the gate of the courtyard waiting for someone, talking to passing farmers.

In view of the inexplicable embroidery needles on Dingxiang's body last time, the villagers only talked to her and dared not touch her.

"Xiangxiang is waiting for grandpa again?"

……

"Well, I'm still waiting for my father and brother."

"Uncle Xia, sister Sanfen came to my house to play today, and we played with folding handkerchiefs."

"Uncle Jiang, today I went to your house to buy tofu nao, there are sesame seeds, it's so good."

……

In the distance, a woman walks with a lame leg, it's Hao Shi.

It was heard that Hao's right leg was broken, and the Ding family's big family didn't give her money to see a doctor, and asked her to drag her sick leg to do housework.

Ding Xiang doesn't sympathize with her at all.You deserve it, you are a victim, and you want to harm others.

There is no rumor about Hao's relationship with Ding Sifu.

Ding Youcai and Wang really didn't think that much.

However, grandfather and father had no intention of avenging Ding Sifu.

Since being beaten by Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao, Hao Shi never dared to get close to Ding Xiang, and even walked around the yard of the second bedroom.

Finally looking forward to those four figures, Ding Xiang giggled and ran forward.

"Grandpa, daddy, eldest brother, second brother."

Ding Zhuang took two quick steps to pick her up and said with a smile, "The granddaughter is here to pick up grandpa again."

There is a smile on the face, but there is no smile in the eyes.

Looking at his father and his two older brothers again, their faces were very serious. Ding Liren's small eyes and round nose were still red, obviously he had cried.

Something should have happened, it was not a small matter.

Ding Xiang didn't dare to say any more, and hugged Grandpa's neck tightly.

After entering the gate of his own courtyard, Ding Zhuang handed Lilac to Ding Zhao, and went back to the house by himself.

The Zhang family who came out to welcome him wondered, "What's wrong with father-in-law?"

The father-in-law didn't make out with Xiangxiang.

This is the first time since Ding Xiang entered this house, Ding Zhuang ignored her.

Ding Liren sucked his little nose, tears streaming down his face.

Ding Zhao touched his second son's chin and sighed.

Ding Lichun whispered, "Mother, my grandfather finally paid the price for his bragging habits."

Mrs. Zhang said anxiously, "What's going on, tell me quickly."

Ding Lichun said, "My lord boasted that the master said that my younger brother was gifted in studies and would be able to pass the Jinshi exam. The master begged him to send his younger brother to study with him. He also talked about it and praised it when he met people. These words spread to the In the ears of Mr. Li and his classmates, his younger brother was laughed at by his classmates all day. Fortunately, with me in charge, those classmates dare not go too far..."

Ding Liren blushed, choked up and said, "My classmates ridiculed me and called me Niu Jinshi. I can't wait to turn my toes into hoes, dig a hole, and hide in it. Father, mother, I don't want to go to private school. They will forget about it next year." , go to school again, okay?"

Little Zheng was angry and ashamed, with tears in her eyes, and her little red nose looked like an unripe cherry.

Grandpa is talking nonsense, Mr. just said that he might be selected as a scholar, he was promoted to Juren first, and then promoted to Jinshi, and he also said that Mr. insisted on accepting himself as a disciple...

Ding Xiang glanced at Xiao Zhengtai sympathetically.What a studious kid, after being hit by this, he just wanted to take a year off from school.Some children in the previous life might be tired of studying.

Ding Zhao was also angry that his father likes to brag, and it is hard for a son to speak of me.

He said, "Other people can't stand a few words, how can we do big things in the future? Our whole family's hope is on you. If you don't study, how can you be worthy of grandma's spirit in heaven. And my sister, how can you support her?"

Ding Liren choked up and said, "I'm embarrassed to see Mr.

Ding Zhao said, "Others know about your master's temperament. It's not your fault. I'll go and explain to Mr. Li tomorrow. Mr. Li has a big heart and doesn't mind such things. He has high hopes for you. If you don't want to go to school, you will be angry."

"Sir, you really don't mind?"

"of course."

Ding Lichun said again, "Qin Zifeng said you talked the most, tomorrow I'll find a chance to beat him up and make an example of him."

Ding Xiang slid down from Ding Zhao's body, hugged Ding Liren and said, "Second brother is the best, he got Jinshi, laugh at them."

With his father and elder brother helping him, and even his younger sister encouraging him, Ding Liren felt better.

When the food was on the table, Ding Zhao asked Ding Lichun to invite Ding Zhuang.Ding Zhuang said he didn't want to eat and let them eat.

Ding Zhao went to invite him, but he still didn't come out.

He came back and said to Ding Xiang, "Look at our Xiangxiang."

Ding Xiang knocked on the door again, "Grandpa is hungry, Xiangxiang will feel bad."

The voice is delicate and waxy, with a little crying sound.

Ding Zhuang couldn't take it anymore, he couldn't bear his granddaughter's distress.He opened the door and picked Ding Xiang up and said, "Good granddaughter, grandpa won't be hungry."

His heart was only soft towards his granddaughter, and he sat down at the table and put on another stinky face.

He even tried to save face and said, "Except for what Mr. Li said, I am right. My second grandson's ability is to be admitted to Jinshi. Your sister knows that after being admitted to Jinshi, she will laugh at those who have laughed at you. You It's so sad."

Ding Zhao filled a glass of wine for Ding Zhuang and said with a smile, "Father is right. Making yourself stronger is the best way to fight back against those people. Liren, remember?"

Ding Liren nodded heavily.

Ding Lichun said stubbornly, "But I still think that we should wait until my younger brother is admitted to Jinshi before talking big."

Ding Zhuang raised his arm vigorously, but he didn't hit it.He knew that what he did today was indeed wrong.

He glanced at his second grandson, and said, "In a few days, when you take a rest, I will take you to the county town. The whole family will go, have a good meal in the restaurant, buy a beautiful ruler for Xiangxiang, and give it to Liren. Buy a nice carved pen holder."

The second grandson wanted to buy it several times before, but he was not willing to buy it.

Ding Liren's small eyes lit up, "It's a good omen if you want to carve a magpie on a branch."

Ding Zhuang nodded in agreement.

Ding Lichun said again, "Grandpa, I also want a carved pen holder with a big roc spreading its wings."

Ding Zhuang frowned and said, "You are not suitable for studying, you need a pen holder. I pass on to you my big hammer, and you will work hard in the future."

Ding Lichun was so angry that his mouth turned up even more.

Ding Xiang has always disapproved of Ding Zhuang's rude attitude towards Ding Lichun, and he refused to listen to it after several times of persuasion.It is impossible for Ding Zhuang not to like this eldest grandson who is going to inherit his mantle, but his attitude towards the eldest grandson is always so blunt.

Ding Zhao said, "Go to the county town to play, the shop is busy."

Ding Zhuang said, "Just let Shitou and Liangzi do it. You can't earn enough money. You don't want to be a traveling doctor, just relax for a day. Then go to Chizi's house, I miss my third grandson."

He didn't say to go to the second son's house for dinner.The son and daughter-in-law have never invited him, the father, to eat at home, and he is stubborn and doesn't want to eat.But he wanted Ding Li to come and visit him.

Ding Zhao also went to try to persuade Ding Chi that he should save some of the money he has earned, and not invest all his money in order to earn more money. This is no different from a gambler who is jealous of gambling.
