Chapter 99
The pumpkin porridge made in this way not only has the sweet fragrance of pumpkin, but also removes the fishy smell of pork, leaving only the soft and slightly salty meat fragrance, and the umami taste of mushrooms completely integrated into the soup.

The Ding family also had a simple meal. They steamed some pumpkins with yesterday's leftovers.

Ding Wei didn't mind the trouble. She flattened the pumpkin into a puree, added a little sugar, sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts, and stirred it. One bowl for each person was more enjoyable than eating rice.

The two children, Dabao and Fu'er, almost buried their heads in the bowl after eating.

Old man Ding and the adults like Mrs. Lu also ate with gusto, and the second child Ding joked: "If we really go to the south from now on, we won't be able to taste such good cooking skills as our sister."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Ding Wei, and praised: "Young girl's work on the stove is nothing to say, otherwise, how could she be invited by the Yun family to be a cook! But I don't know how to make this pumpkin porridge. It's really delicious! Not to mention the two children, I almost swallowed my tongue."

Of course Ding Wei can understand the hidden meaning in her sentence, and she doesn't want to bother about these trivial things when she is about to part, so she just smiled and nodded: "The method is very simple, but it is more troublesome. I will teach it to the two sisters-in-law later. In the future, if the child wants to eat it, the sister-in-law just follow suit."

Her generosity made Wang blush a little.However, the recipe of this porridge is really delicious, and because it is salty porridge, it saves a lot of food and vegetables, and the two children love to eat it.So as a mother, she had no choice but to be thick-skinned, and immediately smiled: "Then our Dabao and Fu'er have been honored by Auntie."

Mrs. Liu is still thinking about opening another noodle shop, so she is naturally happy to learn another craft.

Old man Ding and Mrs. Lu looked at each other, but neither made a sound.

After Fu'er and Dabao finished eating, they squeezed in front of their aunt to get bored, asking why the younger brother didn't come, and then asking her aunt when she would take them out to play.

Ding Wei kissed her niece and patted her nephew, feeling very reluctant.

After breakfast, Uncle Yun personally brought someone to pick him up again.

Even though he was reluctant, Ding Wei still bid farewell to his family. Old man Ding insisted on sending his daughter back, and second child Ding was afraid that it would be unsafe for his father to come back, so he also followed.

The Lu family cared for her daughter, so she picked up some of the millet, red dates, sesame seeds, peanuts, pumpkins, etc. that were produced in her own field, and asked Ding Wei to take them back.

In the eyes of the old lady, no matter how rich her daughter is in Yun's family, these are her wishes as a mother. .

Ding Wei glanced at Liu Shi and Wang Shi as they joined each other. Fortunately, both of them were talking and laughing at Yan Yan, and they didn't show the slightest bit of reluctance.She also gave up the thought of knocking on the two of them. Although the parents are old, but fortunately the elder brother is filial, so the two sister-in-laws will not dare to make their parents angry in the future.

Reluctantly, Mrs. Lu sent her daughter away. When she entered the room, her expression was very sad, and she even wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

Seeing this, Liu Shi and Wang Shi felt very uncomfortable. After all, this daughter-in-law is not a daughter-in-law, and she is not half as good as a daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Lu was not stupid either. Seeing her daughter-in-law's expression with a glance, it was rare that she didn't let things go, and she scolded, "You two don't act like that, you sister put yourself in the Yun family for this family, that's all. Give her all the wealth of the family, and no one can say 'no'. Besides, she is working in the Yun family. In the future, the Yun family will be rich and powerful, so they will definitely not treat her badly. Maybe you still have two children who will fall in love with her light!"

Both Liu and Wang blushed when they heard this, and quickly coaxed their mother-in-law with a smirk, "Mother, what are you talking about? How could we treat my sister badly? As you said, when she becomes rich in the future, we have to wait Let her pull it!"

Mrs. Lu didn't care whether the two daughters-in-law were at odds, snorted coldly and went into the room to be sad alone. She didn't even know that she was just a prophecy. Because of her daughter, she was envied and envied by all Xihao people.

Not to mention how much Mrs. Lu loves her daughter, but only to say that the Yun family's carriage arrived at the door of the house smoothly.Almost as soon as the car door was opened, the doorkeeper Xiao Fuzi reported beamingly: "Uncle Yun, Miss Ding, the young master just came back!"

Uncle Yun raised his beard with joy when he heard the words, "The young master is back, I have to go and see!"

Old man Ding who had been silently following behind suddenly said, "Brother Yun, I want to meet your general!"

Both Uncle Yun and Ding Wei were taken aback, before they could speak, old man Ding thought that they would not agree, and re-emphasized resolutely: "I came with the car today, just to meet your general!"

Ding Laoer wanted to stop his father, but he shut his mouth again when he recalled the joy on the girl's face just now.

Uncle Yun glanced at Ding Wei, but he didn't refuse, and nodded with a smile: "That's natural, brother, please come in, I'll lead you there right away!"

Old man Ding nodded, turned around and told his daughter, "You go into the house, it's getting cold!"

Ding Wei wanted to ask a few more questions, but her father had already followed Uncle Yun far away with his legs and feet.

After thinking for a while, she took her second brother into the inner courtyard. Sister-in-law Cheng was hugging An Geer, waiting at the door with her eldest baby and second baby.

Ding Wei signaled her second brother to sit on the stone bench under the persimmon tree, while she went to hug her son.

Brother An didn't see his mother coming back last night, so he was very excited at the moment. He hugged his mother's neck with his hands and didn't let go, and shouted: "Mother, mother..."

Ding Wei could hardly hold her fat son, and patted his fat little buttocks, cursing: "This brat is crazy!"

As if to prove this sentence, An Ge'er laughed even more heartily, clapping his hands while running upwards in his mother's arms.

Sister-in-law Cheng was afraid that the master would be tired, so she quickly picked up Brother An, and said with a smile as she walked back and forth, "The kid is running around so fast, I haven't seen you all night. Miss, do you see that Brother An is doing well?"

Ding Wei smiled and reproached him: "I don't see him promising, but he is much more skinny, and he doesn't cry no matter how hard he beats."

Sister-in-law Cheng smiled foolishly, quickly hugged Brother An in her arms, and jokingly said, "Brother An, the girl is going to beat you, let's find Master Master to hide."

Ding Wei recalled how the master usually wanted to hold An Ge'er in his mouth, and smiled helplessly: "Just pamper him!"

Angle saw two people standing in the yard talking endlessly, so he leaned out, stretched out his hands, pointed at the persimmon tree, and shouted, "Go, go!"

He wanted to sit and play under the persimmon tree, and it happened that Ding Laoer was sitting under the tree and his neck stretched out in anxiety. Seeing this, he said loudly, "Sister, quickly bring Brother An to me to have a look!"

Ding Wei hugged her son and sent her over when she heard the words. Although the uncle and nephew hadn't met a few times, it didn't hinder their closeness.

Ding Laoer hugged his eldest nephew with a happy smile, feeling that the little soft nephew seemed to have no bones, it could really melt the coldest and hardest part of the heart, and his nose was a little sore for a while.

The eldest child of the Cheng family usually helped her mother take care of her younger brother and young master, so she ran into the house and took out the felt blanket and spread it under the persimmon tree without anyone's orders.

Angle's eyes lit up, he opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand on the blanket, Ding Lao Er put the little figure on it, Angle was so happy, he clapped his hands and giggled.

Ding Wei praised the eldest child, and brought some gadgets for her son, but in the end she couldn't help thinking about it, and turned her head to look at the gate of the courtyard.

Ever since Gong Zhiming got detoxified and was able to walk around, another outer study was prepared in the outer courtyard, and now old man Ding was sitting with him in the outer study.

Old man Ding sat on the first chair a little uneasy, rubbing his hands on his knees, his eyes drooping slightly, obviously very uncomfortable.

The Ding family has been farming for generations, and the biggest official the old man has ever seen in his life is a small official who comes to the village to urge the corvee. Now facing the world-famous general, he can't wait to sit in the position of Marquis Wu from the moment he fell to the ground. Young master, how can you not feel uneasy?

Gong Zhiming finished his urgent business, stood up, bowed his hands respectfully, and said, "Hello, Uncle!"

Such a title, such a courteous treatment, really surprised old man Ding. He hastily raised his head and met Shanggong Zhiming's gentle eyes. He subconsciously praised him, the famous general Gongzhi is really good-looking and talented.There is also this whole body temperament, luxurious and dusty, which is different from the common country people.

For no reason, the depression accumulated in the old man's heart seemed to have faded a bit.

He cleared his throat, stood up and returned the salute, and didn't dare to delay any longer, straight to the point, "Master General, old man, I take the liberty to bother you today, because I really want to ask something!"

Looking at the simple and honest old man in front of him, Gong Zhiming already had some guesses in his heart, but he remained calm and smiled slightly: "Uncle, please tell me."

Old man Ding thought for a while, and then said, "I don't know what the general thinks about my daughter?"

He seemed a bit embarrassed to speak, but hesitated for a while, and said: "Our Ding family is a country family, and we dare not have the idea of ​​climbing high, so, the old man, I came here to ask the general's intention... Our family still hopes that Wei Er If you can live with us, no matter if you go to the south or live in the county, I think the general can move around well now, so maybe he doesn't need my Wei'er to take care of him, right?"

Old man Ding stopped talking, his heart beating non-stop, but he still stared at Gong Zhiming very solemnly.Some are like old dogs guarding the nest, even though their teeth are no longer sharp, they still try their best to straighten their thin backs to block the door.

Such pitiful and deplorable courage moved Gong Zhiming a little.Only the deepest paternal love can do this.

He couldn't help thinking of his parents who died young, if they were still alive, wouldn't he not have this disaster?Could it be that he will become a well-known dandy in Kyoto, even if he gets into trouble outside, his father's cane is held up high, but it will fall gently under the tearful eyes of his mother.

It's a pity that he is destined to never experience such family affection in his life.
