Chapter 32: The First Year
Li just stood there, neither did he advance or retreat. Because she saw that Ding Da had been closing his eyes and not speaking at this time.
Li thought to himself: Ah Da can't really misunderstand me, right? So what can I do? No, I have to make it clear to him.
Li exhaled deeply. Slowly walked forward and said to Ding Da, "Ah Da, I'm ...... Actually, I'm innocent, I really didn't do anything with the stone to be sorry for you. You have to trust me. ”
Ding laughed for a while and then stopped, and said to Li with a gentle face.
"What the hell are you thinking, boy? We've been together for so many years, and I don't know who you are? Of course I'll choose to believe you. What are you still explaining to me? Don't you know better what kind of temper this brother and sister has? ”
"I'm just a little sore from the wound, and it's out of the way now." Ding Da naturally saw Li's thoughts at this time.
"Is the wound starting to hurt again? I'll give you the medicine. After speaking, he hurriedly went to the side to get medicine for Ding Da.
But the Zhang family did not give up, she saw with her own eyes that her sister-in-law was talking and laughing with the stone, which was originally unethical in their Xinghua Village.
Even though Ding Da believed the Li family, the Zhang family still spread gossip outside. Soon, the gossip reached the ears of the stone.
The stone found Zhang and said to her, "Why do you slander me? Why is this woman so vicious, she can't see the good of others, right? ”
"Uncle Ding was injured last time when we went to check on the robbers, and I saw that Uncle Ding didn't do the same thing, so I just helped them. You're talking nonsense. ”
Zhang said angrily: "It's light, don't you know what the rules are in our village." What you do is what you do, why not admit it? Look at yourself, you look like a hooligan, I don't even want to talk to you. ”
Shi was angry, but he couldn't say anything about Zhang, so he had to give up. After all, he is innocent, and I believe that Uncle Ding will not believe in something out of nothing.
......
A few days have passed, but Zhang's rumors have not been approved by anyone, after all, her reputation in the village has not been very good, and in order to avoid suspicion, Shi asked his mother to go to Ding's house to help him do his work at home.
The village is also very appreciative of the practice of reciprocating the kindness of the stone.
Time flies, and the most important day in the village - Chinese New Year's Eve is also coming. Lilac was busy pasting Spring Festival couplets with Xiao San. The family also started to make dumplings.
The Spring Festival in the village has always been very lively. Every house is brightly lit.
This year is Xiao San's first year in Ding's family, and it is also the first year that Lilac has returned home, so naturally Lilac is very happy in her heart. A big family is happy.
After the reunion dinner, the whole family sat at the dinner table and chatted about some family life.
Ding Da said to Lilac, "Lilac, let's go to other people's houses in the village later."
Lilac is a person who likes to be lively. She couldn't sit still.
Hearing Ding Da say such a thing, he naturally raised his hands and feet in approval! This is also a custom in their village.
After Xiao San heard this, he said to Ding Da: "Daddy, I also want to go with you, can I, I also want to take advantage of this celebration?"
Hearing Xiao San say this, Ding Nature would not refuse, and if he really didn't go, he would be rude!
When Xiao San heard Ding Da agree, he laughed happily!
Ding Da said, "Lilac, you have to take some things when we go out." This is the Chinese New Year, let's go to other people's homes, and we should be polite. You know? Remember, don't talk nonsense. ”
Lilac said, "Got it, Daddy, I'll be obedient!"
After Lilac finished speaking, she went to the house and got some gifts.
Feeling the joy of the New Year, Lilac is also full of emotion at this time, this year is also your wish for her for many years, since the death of her father, she can no longer have a reunion year, thinking of this Lilac's eyes are also unconsciously moistened.
"Lilac, are you crying?" Seeing that Lilac seemed to be wiping her tears, Xiao San also hurriedly asked, after all, this New Year is a festive thing.
Hearing Xiao San's words, Lilac also quickly wiped her tears.
A few more people were there chatting for a while. Ding Da took Ding Xiang and Xiao San out, leaving Li alone at home at night, she couldn't feel too much wind and cold.
So the family of three walked on the idyllic path, and the deafening sound of firecrackers came from time to time around made Lilac cover her ears tightly, and unconsciously accelerated her pace.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers in the village began to go out to greet each other, and the children of each family also ran out in new clothes and followed the adults around.
Every corner of the village has been carefully cleaned, and it is full of life at a glance.
Even the snow and shivering weather did not stop the enthusiasm of the villagers.
The people in the village are busy, but Lilac's home is silent, and the days are still as plain as before, without revealing the atmosphere of the New Year.
Even the food on the table is just to deal with the villagers who come to pay their respects, and generally no one will touch it if no guests arrive.
Lilac, who had already gone out for a walk, was also a little sore at this time, and Ding Junior came back first.
"Mother, what are you doing?" When I got home, seeing that Li was busy inside, Lilac leaned over with some confusion and helped Li get some things.
"Isn't this the New Year, my mother will add some colored paper to the house, which can be regarded as a colorful head."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li glanced at the sensible Lilac with relief, "You came just in time, help put this thing in the back room." ”
"Hey, okay." Crisply responded, Lilac walked to the house with a lot of things in her hands and feet, it was just some paper-cutting handiwork, and Lilac couldn't help but hold it for a long time.
When he came out, he happened to see Xiao San sitting in the corner of the wall in a daze, and he suddenly had some doubts in his heart.
"It's okay this way, why is this suddenly sullen."
So he walked over and patted Xiao San.
"San'er, why have you been squatting in the corner, this is the New Year."
"Huh? It's okay, I'll rest here for a while. Stunned, Xiao San finally came back to his senses, but turned his head and entered the West House.
Looking at Xiao San's somewhat lost and depressed back, Lilac's delicate eyebrows couldn't help frowning, what the hell is wrong with this kid, there was a period of vitality before, but the closer to the New Year, the more unhappy I became.
