Xianggui

There are three other things that make Ding Xiang unhappy.

One is that Dingxiang's good friend Heizi died last year.It ran out to play, but someone beat it to the head, and even invited a doctor, but it didn't look good.

Ding Xiang was sad for a long time.

Heizi's son, Heiwa, is two years old, as dark and strong as his mother, and continues to guard the family for his mother.Through the matter of Hei Zi, the Ding family and Ding Xiang took Hei Wa very closely and forbade him to go out alone.

The second thing is that it has been almost three years, and Feifei has never been to the house once.

Fearing that something might happen to the little thing, Dingxiang had a special "fragrant dream". Feifei lived happily and busy in his world, flying every day, fighting and catching wild animals, and the apple tree next to his house was still so luxuriant.

The third thing is that Ding Zhuang and his son were so frightened that Ding Xiang hadn't even been to the county town once in the past three years.I have been to the town twice, and there are still Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Ding Lichun, the three vajra protectors.

She especially wanted to check in the study to see if there was any record of purple gourd, but so far she has not been able to do so.

……

Zhang's voice brought Ding Xiang back from her contemplation.

"Xiangxiang, what are you doing there in a daze? Come and smell the dumpling stuffing made by Niang Tiao, whether it smells good or not."

Today, when the rain stopped, Ding Zhuang would definitely go home to see his granddaughter and have dinner, so Mrs. Zhang made his favorite leek meat dumplings.

Ding Xiang came to the kitchen and smelled the dumpling stuffing.

"Well, it smells so good, I will make it too."

Even though Ding Xiang is only six years old, the dumplings made by Zhang's and Yang Hu's are more beautiful than those made by Zhang's and Yang Hu's. They are as small as silver ingots.

The three of them were wrapping up, when they heard Heiwa's barking and knocking on the door.

Ding Zhuang said in a loud voice, "Xiangxiang, open the door, my master is back to see you."

Ding Xiang burst into laughter, ran out to open the door, and jumped on Grandpa.

Ding Zhuang laughed and hugged her up.

Ding Xiang touched his big face with her small face, and her little butt was upturned.

She has to seize the time to make out with her grandfather, father, and brother. She can't do this when she turns seven years old next year.

Even now, some people say behind their backs that Ding Xiang is unstable, and that the Ding family dotes on Ding Xiang outrageously.It's just that I can't offend the Ding family, so I dare not say it clearly.

Ding Xiang didn't make dumplings anymore, she hung them on her grandfather's body and was taken to the upper room, where she sat on her grandfather's lap and acted like a fool.

More than half an hour later, Ding Zhao led Ding Liren and Ding Li back home.

Eight-year-old Ding Li went to school last year, and he and Ding Liren are classmates.He was the complete opposite of Ding Liren, which gave Mr. Li a headache.Although his arithmetic and abacus are very good, Mr. Li still doesn't like him because the reciting is too slow and his handwriting is too ugly.

Regardless of whether Ding Li is studying well or not, Ding Zhuang hopes that he will become smarter by studying for a few more years.If Ding Chi and Tang's were really dead, the child would be an orphan.

Ding Chi and his wife have never been seen so far. It is said that they have been secretly killed by Jiaozipu, but Jiaozipu refuses to admit it.

Ding Zhuang guessed in his heart that the legend was true, and was extremely sad, so he scolded without incident, "Damn it, you are still prosperous, and you are also the richest man in Linshui County. The dream of being rich is not so easy to come true."

As soon as Ding Xiang followed them, she looked at Ding Liren earnestly.

In the morning, Ding Xiang specifically asked Ding Liren to show Mr. Li a picture of the scorpion that she had drawn.The picture is very simple, it is a lotus flower and two lotus leaves.It is drawn with a brush, the lines are simple and freehand.

Ding Xiang has been looking for Teacher Danqing.Although Mr. Li's painting is very ordinary, it is still acceptable to lead a young child to start.

Still the same sentence, Ding Xiang is willing to be a genius, but he is not willing to be a monster, and he cannot learn everything by himself.As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice lies with the individual.Let the teacher give pointers first, and then shine.

For example, she learned netting from Mrs. Zhang, but she could come up with better tricks.Reading, literacy and arithmetic are learned from Ding Liren, but all kinds of analysis are much better than Ding Liren's.Ding Liren's pictures are really limited, so she put her mind on Mr. Li.

Of course, she can still draw a few simple paintings, such as different knots and colorful bracelets, and flowers and plants that are often seen.I learned from Ding Lilai, but the painting is much better than his.

Ding Liren's laughing eyes disappeared, and he told vividly how Mr. Li stomped his feet and beat his chest in pain after seeing the picture, and let out a cry of applause that hit the soul.

"Whoa! Heaven, earth, why is she not a boy? Why is she a girl? If she is a boy, this old man must visit the thatched cottage and beg her to be his disciple."

After woohoo, he even kept the picture to express his appreciation for the little girl.

Lilac is depressed.What happened to the girl?The old man is very pedantic, and he is willing to accept her as a disciple even if he is a girl.

The teacher recognition plan is temporarily shelved.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao smiled triumphantly, looking at Ding Xiang dotingly.

The dumplings had just been cooked when Xia Sanfen came.

Xia Sanfen is eight years old, she is Xia Erbo's little girl, she plays very well with Ding Xiang and Ding Zhen.

She smiled and said, "Grandpa Ding, Uncle Ding, my sister-in-law has a baby, and my father invites you to my house for a drink."

Her sister-in-law is her eldest cousin Zhang Yu, who will marry Xia Erbo's eldest son Xia Dahe this spring.

The marriage was of course the one that Mrs. Zhang helped lead.

Zhang Yu is as diligent and gentle as Zhang's, and can spin and weave, which is very popular with the Xia family.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao said congratulations and went to Xia's house with a small pot of wine.Mrs. Zhang smiled broadly, filled a big bowl of dumplings for Xia Sanfen to take back and serve them wine.

Ding Zhuang still wanted to take Ding Xiang to eat delicious food, but Ding Xiang didn't go.When she goes to Dingli, she will follow her. The little brother can eat but has no eyesight.

Ding Xiang tugged at Ding Zhuang's clothes and said, "Master, drink less, your nose should turn red again."

Although Ding Zhuang's drinking made his nose bounce back a bit, but the amount of alcohol was well controlled, and it was far from as red as it used to be.

Ding Zhuang laughed and agreed.

Mrs. Zhang led the three children to eat in the upper room, while Yang Hu and his wife ate in their own room in the inverted room.

After eating for a while, Xia Sanfen came again with a bowl of roasted pork with potatoes.

"My father asked Xiangxiang to bring it."

The Xia family knew that Ding Zhuang loved Ding Xiang, and he was happier eating Ding Xiang than him.

Ding Zhuang was not there, Ding Xiang divided the meat into four parts, two pieces for each person.

Mrs. Zhang was not willing to eat it, so she gave it back to Lilac.

Clove stubbornly put it into Zhang's bowl again, and Zhang ate it.

Just after eating, I heard the courtyard door knocking.

When Yang Hu went to open the door, it was Captain Wei with a fierce face.

Detective Wei lives in Nanquan Village. Like Ding Zhuang, he is a villain that no one dares to mess with nearby.

Yang Hu bent down and smiled, "Oh, Mr. Wei, looking for old shopkeeper and shopkeeper Ding? They're at Xia's house, so I'll invite them right away."

Ding Zhuang felt that his family was a country boy, and he didn't like to be called grandpa and grandpa.Let Yang Hu and his wife call them the old shopkeeper, Ding shopkeeper, Zhang's sister-in-law, and the names of the three children.

Captain Wei quickly said, "It's the same as you said. Two skeletons were found in Qihe Mountain, more than 100 miles away, and their necks were chopped off with a knife. The county captain asked your family to identify them and see if they were Ding Chi and Tang's. .Tomorrow, I will go to the county government office with me, and then we will go to Qihe Mountain together."
