Xianggui

All of Zhang's thoughts were on how to draw the hand rope, and he didn't even think about how the three-year-old knew so much and could draw so well.

Although she doubted that what she made would not be as good as what she drew, she hurriedly found a few threads in the sewing basket, and weaved it according to Ding Xiang's instructions.

After weaving more than half of it in an hour, and then stringing seven beads on it, Mrs. Zhang was amazed, thinking that the weaved one must be better than the painted one.

At the end of noon, Ding Zhuang, carrying a big basket, took Ding Lichun and Ding Liren home.

Today is the first time for Ding Xiang to see Ding Zhuang. It's only been a night and a half day, but it feels like it's been several years.

Grandpa has lost weight, half of his hair is grizzled, his upper lip is blistered, and his back seems to be bent.

Ding Xiang burst into tears, stepped forward and hugged his leg and said, "Grandpa, we will make it through."

Ding Zhuang didn't hug her to coax her like in the past, but said, "Xiangxiang, don't be afraid, I won't let you suffer."

He walked into the upper room with a heavy face.

Ding Lichun whispered, "We went around Beiquan Village, Nanquan Village, and the town, and only borrowed eight pennies and a few silver coins. There was another person who promised to send two pennies tomorrow."

Ding Lilai said again, "When we went to the town, the master went into the drugstore by himself and refused to let us in."

Ding Xiang's heart sank, grandpa wouldn't be overwhelmed, right?
Then she dismissed the idea again.Ding Zhuang has a tenacious heart, and he has repeatedly promised that he will not let himself suffer, and it is impossible for him to commit suicide.

They had no appetite for the noodle soup they ate at noon.

After dinner, Ding Zhuang locked himself in the room again, while Mrs. Zhang waited silently in the main room with her three brothers and sisters, holding a net in her hand.

They hoped that Ding Zhao would come back soon, and hoped that the Tang family could borrow some money so that the dagger could be sold for a good price.

Before the end of the day, Mrs. Zhang finally weaved a bracelet.When worn on the wrist, it is chic and beautiful, just like a colorful bracelet inlaid with pearls.

Lilac gave it a nice name, Seven Star Bracelet.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Cai Bracelet? The name is pleasant and appropriate. The thread is not valuable, but the weaving method of the color bangle is valuable. With these few beads, it will definitely sell for a good price. If you have enough time, you can sell it to Fu Gui The young lady might be able to sell at a higher price. If I stay up all night and weave two more pairs, even if there are no beads to embellish, I can still sell for more money."

Ding Xiang drew another style of bracelet, "Mother, with the same style, the second one won't be able to sell at a high price. This is also what I came up with. It's called the Diefei Colorful Bracelet. It looks good only if it is woven with eight strands of thread."

Also talked about how to match the colors.

The six-star colorful bracelet and the butterfly flying colorful bracelet are both derived from flat knots.Now Mrs. Zhang has something on her mind, and she can't calm down to make up more complicated ones.

Zhang Shi happily agreed.

Not long after, the courtyard door rang.

Ding Lichun thought that his father was back, so he ran to open the door excitedly, and several men with vicious looks broke in.

Ding Lichun was so frightened that he ran into the house, "Master, Lord, someone is here."

Ding Zhuang came out, carried Ding Liren and Ding Xiang to the bedroom one by one, and closed the door.

A villain cupped his hands and said, "Boss Ding."

Ding Zhuang bowed his hand and returned the salute, "I don't dare to do it. The uncles are..."

The man sneered, "Boss Ding, don't pretend to be ignorant. Where are we from? You know the truth. The person who went to the provincial capital to find Mr. Xue came back and said that Mr. Xue said that he has nothing to do with your Ding family. We will pay back a penny on behalf of him. We have been looking for Ding Chi for several days, but there is no sign of the ghost.

"The owner said that the son owes the father to pay, and the principal and monthly interest of 200 taels of silver must not be less. One day later, the deadline for repaying the money will be reached, and we will come to withdraw the money the day after tomorrow. As for running away or something, Don't even think about it."

After finishing speaking, those few people left in a rampage.

Ding Zhuang entered the room, carried Ding Xiang and Ding Liren to the main room, and stayed in the room by himself.

Mrs. Zhang's hands trembled so badly that she couldn't hit the joints, and she covered her mouth and wept.

Ding Lichun comforted, "Mother, don't panic, with me and Grandpa standing in front, everything will be fine."

Ding Liren puffed out his small chest, "And I, too, stand in front of my mother and sister."

Ding Xiang didn't speak, but looked at Zhang firmly.

The children are so strong, why is she crying.

Mrs. Zhang wiped away her tears and continued to weave bracelets.My hands were still shaking badly, and I edited very slowly.

Feeling that his father was coming back soon, Ding Lichun led his younger siblings and stood at the door looking towards the entrance of the village, while Heizi squatted aside.

Everyone in the village knew that Ding Chi had borrowed a lot of usury, so he ran away, and the debt fell to this family.They looked at the little brothers and sisters sympathetically, and did not greet them like they used to.

A lame woman walked by in the distance with a smile on her lips.

Be proud, the current world newspaper is here.

Today's sun was going very slowly, and the brothers and sisters were eager to see through, and finally saw Ding Zhao driving an ox cart at the entrance of the village in a ray of light.

They seemed to see hope again, Ding Xiang turned and ran to the upper room.

"Grandpa, mother, daddy is back."

Ding Zhuang, who was locked in the bedroom, walked out of the room quickly.

Ding Zhao handed the ox cart to Ding Lichun and hurried into the house.

"How?" Ding Zhuang asked.

Ding Zhao said, "Tang's family didn't borrow a single penny, and they pointed at me and yelled at me, and said a lot of nasty things, so let's hand over his daughter. I walked out of the alley, and the old lady of my family caught up with me and gave me 50 taels of silver." tickets, and let us not worry about Lilai."

He didn't dare to say that Tang's family hated Ding Chi so much that they gritted their teeth with hatred, and even scolded Ding Lilai, saying that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked.Fortunately, the old lady told the truth, fearing that the people in Jiaozipu would jump over the wall in a hurry, they had quietly sent the child to a relative's house to hide.

Ding Zhuang nodded, he was also worried about the third grandson.

He asked again, "Did you go to the Dragon Dart Agency?"

There was a smile on Ding Zhao's face, "I'm going. I didn't return to the Escort Bureau until late afternoon when Chu Qian Er was in charge. He saw the dagger and liked it very much. It's such a good thing, it's worth 400 taels of silver. "

He took out some banknotes.

so much.

This number made Ding Zhuang and everyone in the room look happy.

Ding Zhuang said, "Qian Erdang is loyal to Bo Yuntian, he didn't lie to us little people, he gave a fair price. Kind wife, I Ding Zhuang wrote it down."

450 taels, plus fixed assets such as shops and houses, and money borrowed from relatives and friends, there is still more than 100 taels to pay off.

Ding Zhao said, "Tomorrow I will go to the county town to sell or pawn the jewelry, and I can make up 50 to [-] taels. Alas, the price of jewelry fluctuates greatly, and people will not be able to lower the price when you are in a hurry. It is only a hundred taels of silver. renew."

Although the family is poor and still owes so much money, this is much better than expected.

As for how to earn money and repay debts in the future, let's talk about it after passing this hurdle.

Everyone felt a lot more relaxed.

Ding Zhuang looked around the house reluctantly, "Li Chunniang tidied up the things at home, we will move to the third room first. After that, we will repair the dilapidated houses at the head of the village and live there temporarily."

Ask for a monthly pass. . .
