Xianggui

Xia Yuanwai felt that he couldn't do it, but his two sons couldn't do it either.

The eldest son Xia Jinzhong has studied for more than ten years and failed to pass the Tongsheng exam. Now he is in charge of the family affairs.

The second son is a fool, he hardly ever goes out, spends money to marry a daughter-in-law, and has not been able to give birth to children for several years.

The eldest grandson Xia Wenzhou is 12 years old. He is studying in a private school in the county. His family spent a lot of money to train him, so he doesn't know how to study.The second grandson, Xia Wenguan, is ten years old. He is a classmate with Ding Liren. He is No. 2 in the private school in study, but he is far behind the No. 1 Ding Liren, because he is very pedantic.

Ding Xiang also had a feeling that Xia Wenguan paid special attention to her, and several times even ran up to her and said, "Young lady, be careful, how can you jump on your grandfather, father, and elder brother..."

Ding Xiang secretly slandered, it's none of your business.

She rolled her eyes and walked away, Xia Wenguan stood there stupidly by herself, staring at her from time to time in anger.

Later, he ran to her door and said a few inexplicable words, nothing more than telling her to be stable, otherwise she would not be able to marry in the future.

Ding Xiang ignored him.

Ding Xiang still has self-knowledge, no matter how beautiful and lovable she is, she is only a few years old. She doesn't have the charm to make the opposite sex go crazy, and she is still a ten-year-old child.I think that little brat is pedantic by nature and can't understand myself...

For more than an hour, Ding Sifu wove a small net bag out of red cotton thread, and Lilac generously gave it to him, "Take it for something."

Ding Sifu blushed and shook his head.Learning crafts by yourself is for nothing, or learning crafts with other people's things, how dare you ask for other people's things.

Ding Xiang said, "Because you performed well, I will reward you."

Ding Sifu smiled, "Thank you sister Xiang, can I give this small bag to sister Pan? She doesn't have anything new on her."

Ding Xiang especially likes to look at his clear and happy little eyes.This child is open-minded by nature, and nothing that happened to him seems to be unfortunate, and he is very excited when there is something happy.

Ding Xiang pinched his face like a little brother, and said with a smile, "If you give it to you, it's yours, use it as you like."

Ding Sifu was so happy that he stood up, his little lame ran fast, and disappeared outside the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

A boy's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Little cripple, run so fast, are you rushing home to marry a wife?"

The quacking laughter of several male duck voices.

Ding Xiang slanders, whenever and wherever, this annoying "Second Second Disease" is indispensable.

In the evening, Ding Xiang led Hei Wa to wait at the gate of the courtyard, smiling and talking to passers-by.

First wait for Ding Zhao and his wife who came to drive the ox cart.

Ding Xiang ran over, and Ding Zhao smiled and carried her into the car.

She rummaged through the things in the basket, not only mooncakes, red apples and silk thread, but also a few rulers and a bunch of grapes that she had only eaten in her previous life.

The grapes are not big, and the color is deep purple and blue, so greedy that Lilac shed a drop of saliva.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Chitou and grapes were given by Mrs. Qian. Grapes are rare, and we seldom grow them in Jiaodong." She picked a grape, peeled it, and fed it to Lilac's mouth. "I heard that grape seeds are very delicious. Little, don't swallow it."

Mrs. Zhang hasn't eaten grapes yet.

The grapes were so sour that Lilac trembled and blinked.This is the first time in my life to watch and eat for the first time, and I still think it is delicious and kind.

Ding Zhao said with a smile, "Give Xiangxiang a few more and hide them for the festival, don't let those two brats miss it."

After taking her parents home and eating a few grapes, Ding Xiang went to the door to wait for her two little brothers to leave school.

Finally saw Ding Liren, why is he the only one?
Ding Xiang ran forward and asked, "The third brother is not going home with grandpa in the shop?"

Ding Liren was surprised, "Didn't my brother come back? He was hit by the master's ruler this morning and couldn't help crying. He said he had a headache in the next afternoon, so he asked his husband for leave and went home. I went to the shop to see grandpa after school, but my brother was not there."

Ding Xiang said, "Third brother didn't go home either."

The little brothers and sisters became nervous and ran home to tell their parents.

Ding Lilai didn't like to play with the children in the village, and he didn't like to hang out alone.

Ding Zhao became restless, and took Yang Hu to the field behind the village to look for someone, and Zhang and Yang Hu's family went to the villagers' homes to look for them.

They found Tianhe and did not find it.

Several farmers said that they saw Ding Lilai return from the town to the village, so the child must have been lost in the village or in the mountains.

Ding Zhao panicked even more, Ding Chi might be dead, if something happened to this single seedling again, he would feel sorry for his brother, and his father would be even more sad.

He also asked a group of people with good relations in the village to go into the mountain to look for him.

Ding Xiang was also very flustered, and wanted to have a dream about Ding Lilai.

However, in her current state, she couldn't fall asleep even after sweating.

Suddenly, she remembered the dream she had last year, the dry well in the woods to the north of the village, Hao Shi sat by the well for a long time.

Thinking of Hao Shi's gloomy face again, there is a feeling of creepiness.

If something really happens to Ding Lilai, Ding Xiang seriously suspects that Hao Shi is doing evil.Hao's heart was gloomy, and he failed to attack her twice, and was limped by his grandfather.

If Hao Shi is jealous of his grandfather attacking Ding Lilai, he is most likely to attack there.Few people go there, so children are beaten to death and thrown into the well, and then covered with soil and leaves, so it is not easy to be found.

Thinking of the possibility of Ding Lilai being murdered, Ding Xiang burst into tears.

Xiaozheng is more attached to her than the other two brothers, and they spend the most time together.Now, Ding Xiang's affection for Xiao Zhengtai is no less than that of her two elder brothers.

She and her family have repeatedly reminded Ding Lilai to stay away from Hao Shi, wondering if he really fell for Hao Shi's way.

Ding Xiang's heart ached badly, and she ran out crazily, shouting to a group of men walking towards the mountain with torches, "Daddy, Daddy..."

The high-pitched child's voice was particularly abrupt in the noise.

Ding Zhao ran back, picked up Ding Xiang and said angrily, "What are you doing running out, what if something happens to you again?" Then he yelled at Mrs. Zhang who ran out, "What do you think of the child, let her run out by herself."

Ding Xiang hurriedly hugged his neck and said, "Daddy, go to the dry well in the small woods in the north of the village. What if the third brother goes there to play, he stumbles and falls into the well."

Ding Zhao said, "We looked for it there, but there isn't one."

Ding Xiang asked, "Did you read it carefully?"

Ding Zhao said, "Look, there are dead leaves inside."

"What about under the dead leaves?"

Ding Zhao was taken aback, and looked carefully at his daughter. Under the moonlight, her little face was full of seriousness and earnestness.

His daughter is not simple, she is smarter than adults.

Ding Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.He had always thought that the child was mischievous and went somewhere to play and lost his way. According to his daughter, something might have happened to the child.

He stuffed Lilac into Zhang's arms, "We'll go find it right away."

Ding Xiang said with tears in her eyes, "Daddy, I want to go too."

"no!"

Ding Zhao shouted in a rough voice, it was the first time he was so fierce to Ding Xiang.

Mrs. Zhang hurried home with Lilac in her arms.

Ding Zhao led his men to the grove in a hurry, and took a torch to shine down on the mouth of the well.
