Chapter 48
"The Ding family's army is mighty!" Gong Zhiming made a rare joke, clenched his right fist and beat his left chest, loudly cheering for Ding Wei.

In the end, she hugged the ignorant and staring Anger and shook her. Ding Wei couldn't help laughing, but when she turned around, there was a bigger snowball, aiming and aiming, and then flung it hard.

I don't know if it was the persimmon on the branch that had had enough lonely days, or maybe it was the north wind that helped, the persimmon actually fell down, and fell to the ground with a "boom", Ding Wei was so happy that she jumped up immediately.

"Oops, I hit, hit!"

Ding Wei picked up the frozen persimmon like a stone, laughing and jumping like a happy child.

Gong Zhiming stretched out his hand to pull up the blanket to shield his son from the cold wind, but when he raised his head, he responded, "I heard that persimmons are sweeter after being frozen by the cold wind?"

"Yes, yes." Ding Wei recalled the feeling of Chinese New Year when she was a child, and she was even more joyful, and greeted, "Let's go into the house, find a water basin for a while, and dig it with a spoon to eat it is the best."

While talking, Yunying walked in from outside the courtyard.Ding Wei called her to help fetch water, and pushed the wheelchair back to the house.

An Ge'er went out for a walk, very happy, as soon as the brocade quilt on his body was removed, he waved his hands and feet, babbling and babbling to express his excitement.

Ding Wei waited on Gong Zhiming to take off the cotton cloak, and just wanted to hug his son with warm hands, but An Ge'er turned over with force.

Ding Wei and Gong Zhiming who were sitting on the edge of the kang didn't expect the fat boy to develop skills, so they didn't speak for a while.

Xu Shi suddenly changed the world before his eyes, and the fat boy was also startled, and burst into tears with his mouth puckered.

Ding Wei hurriedly stepped forward to hug her son, kissed and kissed affectionately, "Oh, my son is really good, he will turn over unexpectedly. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we will be heroes when we grow up, how can we lose gold so casually?" Doudou, what a disgrace!"

Gong Zhiming was delighted that his son had grown up, and he also laughed when he heard what Ding Wei said was interesting.

Ding Wei was used to seeing his desolate appearance, and she suddenly smiled when she saw him, but she couldn't get used to it, holding the child in her arms and staring blankly for a while.

Gong Zhiming's facial features were originally handsome and extraordinary, with such a smile, all the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes receded, and the lines of his facial features became softer, as if thawing in winter, adding a third of sunshine and warmth.It's more disturbing than usual...

Gong Zhiming was a little embarrassed to be stared at, lowered his head and coughed twice, then backed away while supporting the wheelchair, and yelled in a low voice, "Feng Jiu, why don't you come out yet?"

As soon as the words were finished, Feng Jiu jumped out with a whoosh, and helped Gong Zhiming sit on the kang with a smile.

Ding Wei came back to her senses, and also blushed for her nympho look just now, and said something casually to save herself, "Xiao Jiu, I'm going to make you a warm and light cotton cloth, remember to tell Yun Ying'er the size later. "

"Ah, yes." Feng Jiu was delighted to hear it, and before he could thank him with a smile, he turned to see the cold expression on his master's face, and immediately changed his mouth, "Thank you, sister Ding, for thinking about me, but I don't lack clothes. You, um, still Give Angle or someone else a few more pieces."

Ding Wei thought that Feng Jiu was being polite to her, so she waved her hands and said, "Others have them, so don't refuse, remember to ask Yun Ying'er for the size."

"Uh, yes." Feng Jiu had no choice but to quickly hide from his master's eyes.

Yunying brought a small earthenware pot from the outside, and the frozen persimmon that Ding Wei had smashed was thrown in, but it soaked until it softened within a quarter of an hour.

Ding Wei found a blue and white porcelain bowl, picked out persimmons and put them in, then dug and ate them with a silver spoon.

Xu Shi has had enough exposure to the autumn sun, and has been taken special care of by the north wind for a long time. This persimmon is rare and delicious, sweet and soft without being astringent.Ding Wei smiled openly, and said politely, "Master, do you want to try it?"

She was modest at first, but Gong Zhiming replied, "Okay."

Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, but still reluctantly handed over the bowl.

Gong Zhiming pinched the long handle of the silver spoon with his slender fingers, took a bite from left to right, and ate most of a persimmon very quickly.

Ding Wei was dumbfounded, and almost shed tears in distress.What about the tough guy you agreed to, what about the agreed-upon dislike of sweets, what about the agreed-upon manners?
My persimmons, the persimmons I managed to harvest, I only ate one bite...

From the corner of Gong Zhiming's eyes, he saw the bitter face of the woman opposite, and swallowed the last mouthful of persimmon happily. Finally, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said lightly, "The taste is average."

Ding Wei couldn't bear it anymore, and rolled her eyes fiercely!If the taste is average, you still eat it all up. If it is delicious, do you even eat the porcelain bowl together?

Yunying wandered around in front of the window with Ang in her arms, glancing at the childish master from the corner of her eyes, she really had a hard time holding back her laughter.And Feng Jiu has long been squatting in the corner drawing circles, this matter has nothing to do with him, really has nothing to do with him...

The days slowly slipped by with the snow falling one after another.Every household in Laoshan Col hides at home and cats for the winter. Some old people can't wait to soften the rattan they saved in autumn and weave baskets of various colors.Some diligent and skilled villagers went to the city to find some odd jobs to earn some pocket money, and there were also courageous young people who went to the mountains to hunt some pheasants and snow rabbits. Occasionally, if they were lucky, they could even carry a small wild boar down the mountain.

Since the two elders of the Ding family went to the city to see their daughter's house and shop, they have become hardworking bees. Two bags of grain today, a car of dry firewood tomorrow, and a few cabbages and radishes the next day, they travel back and forth between the county town and the old house between.

When the family was separated, Ding Lao Er gave his elder brother 20 taels of silver more, and got the only carriage in the family, so he was arrested by his parents, and naturally he also saw his sister's family background.

Old man Ding and Mrs. Lu rarely went to the city. Although they knew that the daughter's family property was not cheap, they didn't know how valuable it was.Old Ding, on the other hand, often walks around the city, so he knows the value of this house and shop too well.

It turned out that when their brother had selfish intentions for the family property of a few hundred taels, the sister had quietly bought a family property of a thousand taels of silver.For the first time, he regretted that he shouldn't have listened to his mother-in-law's advice, but then he began to worry about his sister, what did she do in the Yun family, that the Yun family had such a generous gift?
Old man Ding and Mrs. Lu didn't care when they heard their son's inquiries, they only said that the daughter was treating the young master of the Yun family, and master Yun gave this house and shop as a thank you gift.

Ding Lao Er sighed and wanted to say a few words but was afraid that his parents would worry, so he could only swallow all the questions.Just like my old lady said, the deed papers of this house and shop are kept at home, no matter what the Yun family has bad intentions, my sister and nephew will never be left without food and clothing.

Thinking of this, he also began to get worried.In this three-entry house, the alley at the front door is very quiet, but the back street is very spacious, and there are many cars, horses and pedestrians.

Ding Laoer found a tooth shop, and the owner rented the last entrance of the house to a caravan as a place to stay. The monthly rent was five taels. Except for the days when the caravan came and went, there were only two guys who lived there on weekdays.

Old man Ding and Mrs. Lu were very happy, they locked the corner door between the second entrance and the third entrance tightly, and when they returned to the village, they asked Xiao Fuzi to announce the good news to their daughter.

Ding Wei didn't object when she heard the news, she was afraid that her father, mother and three old people, Hu Bo, would be guarding the house, which would be a little lonely.Now renting out and moving in, not only the parents will earn money, but the house will also gain popularity, it is really killing two birds with one stone.However, in this world, it has always been necessary to be defensive. If you have multiple people in front of you, you can help them when something happens.

So, Cheng Dayou moved to a house in the city with his bedroll on his back.He manages two shops on weekdays, and goes back to Yun's house every three days to report accounts.Although he has a bit of a temper, but he has stepped into the gate of hell before, and even brought his whole family into slavery, and he has really improved.In the shop during the day, he humbly consulted with the old guys in the shop and checked the inventory, and when he came back to the house at night, he helped old man Ding do some hard work such as chopping firewood, which made old man Ding full of praise for him.

Ding Wei tested the school twice, and also carefully read the account books made by Cheng Dayou himself, but she was also very satisfied with him.Even if there is a lack of vigor, at least it is enough to be conservative.

That night, all the needlework was done, and Ding Wei brought Yunying and Mrs. Cheng joyfully arranged all kinds of clothes and things on the kang, and finally wrapped them up separately.

Ding Wei stretched her waist long and said with a smile, "It's finally done, thanks to you all."

Yunying was reticent, smiling and shaking her head.Mrs. Cheng was even more honest, she waved her hands again and again, "Miss, you are a slave."

Ding Wei turned around and went to the dressing table to get her own carved makeup box. On the bottom floor were a few hairpins with exquisite carvings and excellent color.Uncle Yun didn't know where he went these days, when he came back yesterday, he saw her hugging An Geer in the main room, he was so happy from ear to ear, and in the end he insisted on giving her these hairpins.

Ding Wei is like that frog who got used to being boiled in warm water, after the initial surprise and suspicion, now he is used to the old man's extra favors.She has been sold to the Yun family for the past three years, and she just needs to do her best to be worthy of the old man.

"Come on, Yunying, I'll give you this plum blossom hairpin." Ding Wei rummaged through it for a while, picked out a five-petal plum blossom hairpin and stuck it behind Yunying's head, looked around and praised, "This is how you look like a girl." , don't keep a cold face all day long, the younger generation will be scared away."

Yunying was heartbroken and funny when she heard it. Speaking of which, she was one year older than Ding Wei, but she didn't want to be taken care of as a girl.

"This hairpin was brought over by my adoptive father in Xijing. You should keep it for Ange's grandma or two aunts."

Only then did Ding Wei realize that the hairpin came from a long way, but still stopped Yunying, and said angrily, "Uncle Yun gave me several. You have been suffering with me all day, so I should share one with you. Wear it , be careful I'm annoyed."

After finishing speaking, she took out another osmanthus hairpin and gave it to Mrs. Cheng, "This is yours, sister-in-law Cheng. I can see that your family works hard on errands every day. Tell shopkeeper Cheng to choose some good materials in the shop tomorrow." , your family is all making a new set of cotton-padded clothes. Besides, shopkeeper Cheng will start receiving the shopkeeper’s wages this month, every two or two in January.”

"Ah, thank you master, thank you girl."

It's nothing for Mrs. Cheng to get the hairpin, but when she heard that her husband started to receive wages, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that the master recognized their family, so she knelt down happily and began to kowtow.
