Xianggui

Chapter 96
Ding Xiang secretly slandered that Dafang Zhuang had a lot of labor and had many boys, so it should be easy to live.For so many years, I only saved four pennies of money. I didn't buy an extra acre of land, and I didn't add a tile. The land and yard were bought by Grandma An An.

And Sanfang has only one son, and Ding Qin is still a sick child, but Sanfang's life is getting more and more prosperous.

Not only is the head of the family, Ding Shan, capable, but also because Mrs. Xie is able to handle things clearly.

Ding Xiang is not interested in the separation of the big house, but is really happy for Ding Sifu.

Ding Zhuang said, "I have been delayed for two days. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival and I have to go back to work. I will come back to have a reunion dinner in the evening. Zhaozi and Li Chunniang are going to prepare and treat guests to dinner the day after tomorrow. Thanks to those who helped find Lilai. Lichun Mother will find some old Lilai clothes and change them for Sifu to wear."

Ding Xiang brought three handfuls of cotton thread and taught Ding Sifu how to tie a knot.Taught three kinds and let him practice in the iron shop.When he has learned it, he will teach other styles of play.After he has learned everything and plays well, let him play silk thread and return his wages.

That night Ding Sifu and Ding Liren slept in the same room.The lights in the room were turned off very late, one was studying hard under the light, and the other was practicing hard under the light.

Before Ding Xiang got up the next day, Ding Sifu went to the town with Ding Zhuang and Ding Liren.

Ding Sifu couldn't do the work of the iron shop, so he sat under the eaves and practiced netting when he had nothing to do.He was ashamed to eat for nothing, get money for nothing, and use the line from the second grandpa's house for nothing.Every day, they rushed to clean up, wiped the ironware, poured water to make the bed and washed dishes for the second grandfather, and even rushed to wipe the second grandfather's feet after washing.

Aunt He's house next door cooks for the iron shop, and Ding Sifu occasionally goes to her house to work.

After a long time, everyone in the shop liked him.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

The influence brought by the Hao family gradually subsided in Beiquan Village, and the villagers began to rush to harvest the crops in the field.

Ding Xiang's family planted two mu of corn, one mu of sweet potatoes, and two mu of peanuts. When the crops were harvested, Ding Zhao would stay at home, plus two day laborers, and Yang Hu would harvest together.

Sweet potatoes were harvested before, corn is harvested now, and peanuts are harvested last.

The second room has a large yard, so there is no need to go to the drying yard to dry the grain, and you can take it home directly.

Ding Xiang likes to eat fresh corn, and he likes bone corn winter melon soup and tender corn cakes the most. He has been making these two things at home since last month.

Of course, she also likes to eat creamy corn chowder and golden sand corn, etc., which will be reserved for her to make later.

Harvest peanuts on August 23.

Harvesting peanuts is a favorite season for children. There is a pleasant smell of peanut pulp in the wind, and there are often one or two missed peanuts on the ground.

The children picked it up and ate it contentedly.

Lilac also likes this smell.

She clamored to go to her own field, so Ding Zhao took her and Ding Li along.

The wound on Ding Lilai's head had already healed, but it was not completely healed.

For Ding Li to go to school, Ding Zhuang and his son did not particularly insist, this child is not material for studying.

There are several sloping lands on the hillside to the south of the village, and Ding Xiang's family's five mu of land is on the top.

There are two acres of land below that belong to Dingshan's family. Dingshan, Mrs. Zhao, and a day laborer are busy in the field.

Ding Xiang and Ding Lilai sit under a tree near their home and eat peanuts.

Yang Hu and day laborers dug peanuts, Ding Zhao picked them up in baskets, picked up two baskets and took them home to dry in the yard before coming back.

Ding Xiang also told her father, "Let Aunt Yang cook a pot of peanuts, I like to eat tender boiled peanuts."

Ding Zhao agreed with a smile.

The sky was high and the sun was shining brightly.These days the weather is warmer than before, which makes the farmers happy.

The adults are busy in the field, and the children are picking peanuts to eat at the edge of the field.

Ding Lilai saw his sister's chubby little hands covered with mud, pouted and said, "My sister got her hands dirty."

He stuffed a few peanuts into his mouth, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the mud on Lilac's hands.

"Peanuts are dirty, my sister don't peel them, I will peel them for my sister to eat."

"If it's dirty, just go home and wash it."

"No, my sister's white and tender hands don't look good when they get dirty."

Xiao Zhengtai has learned some ways of Ding Lichun and Ding Liren, he likes to see his sister clean and tender, and absolutely forbids her to bury herself.

He very domineeringly forbade Lilac to peel the peanuts, put one into his sister's mouth first, and eat another by himself.

Ding Zhen came with Ding Daniu.

Ding Zhen came to sit next to Ding Xiang, and Ding Siniu and several other children were picking peanuts to eat on the rice paddies.

Suddenly, a few big birds appeared in the sky, sometimes high and sometimes low, soaring under the blue sky.

Ding Xiang's heart suddenly rose, she stood up and shouted loudly, "Feifei, Feifei..."

When Ding Li came to see him, he also stood up and shouted.He didn't dare to use too much force, and his voice was not loud.

Then Ding Zhen and Ding Daniu shouted, and the other children followed suit.

The big bird flew farther and farther, to the end of the sky.

Ding Xiang was extremely disappointed.

After a while, they came back again and continued to soar above.

The children started hopping and yelling again.

"Feifei, Feifei..."

Ding Xiang didn't dare to stand up and shout, because she was too excited just now and jumped high again, a thin layer of sweat was already on her body, and a scent wafted out.

She quickly crushed a pill, and the pungent smell overwhelmed the aroma.

Suddenly, an eagle swooped down and rushed towards Lilac.

Everyone screamed in fright, fearing that the eagle would be hungry and take the child to the sky.

Ding Zhao, Yang Hu, and Ding Shan charged towards this side.

The eagle rushed behind Lilac and flew into the sky again, with a big snake in its mouth.

The big snake's foot is more than half a foot long, and the mouth of the small bowl is thick.

The crowd screamed even louder.

"God, that snake is too courageous, so many people dare to go down the mountain."

"Snakes that big can't strangle the children to death. It was the eagle that saved them."

To be more precise, Ding Xiang was saved, and the snake was behind Ding Xiang.

This girl's fate is high, Hao Shi didn't get the needle back then, and today the big snake didn't bite her...

Lilac knew that it must be her fragrance that attracted the snake.She also saw that there was a red band tied around the eagle's leg.

Ding Zhao rushed over to pick up Ding Xiang, and said in a rough voice, "Go home. Don't follow me in the future, it's too dangerous."

Another said, "Look at that eagle, it has fallen, and landed in our village."

Ding Xiang hugged Ding Zhao's neck and said, "Father, that eagle is Feifei, it must have fallen to our house."

Ding Lilai pulled Ding Zhao's clothes, and the three hurried home.

Before entering the house, they heard the exclamation of Zhang and Yang Hu's family.

"Such a big snake is scary to death."

Ding Zhao pushed open the courtyard door, and saw a leopard eagle stepping on a big snake, pecking at the snake's flesh, and the big snake was still writhing.

Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Yang stood in the distance and did not dare to move forward.

Zhang grew up in the mountains and is not afraid of snakes.But such a big snake is rare, she was still quite frightened.

Ding Zhao has already seen that the leopard eagle is Feifei.He put the cloves down, went into the kitchen, took out an ax and chopped the snake in half.

He smiled, "Okay, you don't have to be afraid."
