"Master! Master! ”

"Soul calling! Door and latch, won't you come in! ”

Ding Guoguo, who was still sleeping on the bed, finally couldn't stand Ding Ning's persistent knocking on the door, she turned her head to the door, and shouted angrily.

Ding Ning pushed open the door and walked to the bed, looked at the person shrunk in the quilt, and sighed helplessly, "Master, get up for breakfast." ”

"Don't eat it."

Ding Guoguo didn't move.

Ding Ning scratched his head and apologized, "Yesterday's incident was my fault, I shouldn't have asked the second sister to arrange for you to meet Ziheng without your consent, I'm sorry." ”

"I'm not angry."

Ding Guoguo moved, poked his head out of the quilt, and looked at him.

Ding Ning asked suspiciously, "Then why did you run around yesterday afternoon without seeing anyone?" ”

"It's just that I'm in a bad mood, so I just walked around." Ding Guoguo got up, took the clothes that were on the head of the bed and put them on his body, got out of bed and went to the water tank at the door to scoop water and wash his face.

"Oh." Ding Ning followed behind her, and when he saw her washing her face, he hurriedly said, "I'll go and bring you breakfast." After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for her to answer, and ran into the hall with a smoke.

Looking at his back, Ding Guoguo sighed. She turned around and was about to brush her teeth with the salt in the wooden box next to the water tank, when she suddenly saw a lantern placed at the foot of the window.

A white tulle lantern with a black word written on it - Ann!

She frowned and thought about the scene last night, but she couldn't remember what the person she had beaten looked like. If it was someone from Anle Wangfu, she shouldn't know it. Looking at the figure of that person, it is a bit like Nangong Li.

She walked over, reached for the lantern, walked over to the wall, and threw it out.

"Master, look, today my mother made your favorite meat porridge."

As soon as she threw the lantern, Ding Ning ran out of the hall with a wooden tray.

"Yes." She replied absentmindedly.

Ding Ning waited for her to finish eating the porridge, he put the dishes and chopsticks into the tray, looked at her cautiously, and asked, "Master, did you meet anyone on the way back last night?" ”

He must have seen the lantern.

Ding Guoguo glanced at him, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"And where did you get the lantern you made last night?"

"Picked it up on the road."

"Oh."

No matter how obvious it was, but since she didn't want to tell him the truth, Ding Ning didn't ask any more. He took the tray and headed for the door.

When he walked to the door, he paused, turned his face to look at her, and said with a smile, "Master, don't worry, I will protect you." ”

With that, he turned his head and stepped out of the threshold.

Ding Guoguo stared blankly at the door and didn't move for a long time.

It's already early autumn, and it's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival again.

Looking at the peach tree outside the window, Ding Guoguo sighed faintly. In the past few years, one-fifth of her time has been spent on the road. It's better to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. She was reluctant to Ding Ning and wanted to spend a few more days with him.

In the afternoon, Ding Guoguo led Ding Ning to the medical hall secretly, closed the door of the medical hall, and the two cleaned inside.

In fact, it is not too dirty, Ding Ning's mother comes over to clean it once a month. It's just that she doesn't know how to preserve the medicinal herbs, so that those medicinal herbs are either moldy and hairy, or rotten.

"Master, do you want to reopen the medical hall?"

During the break, Ding Ning asked her.

Ding Guoguo shook his head, "No, it's not time yet. ”

Some of the original dilapidated and damaged tables, chairs and furniture, Ding Guoguo has found someone to book, and the pots and pans have also been replaced with new ones. When she did all this, Ding Ning was by her side.

He thought she had decided to stay, so he was very happy these days, with a smile on his face all day.

Ding Guoguo saw him so happy, and he couldn't bear to break it.

However, the time of happiness is always short-lived, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has come in such a busy situation, and the time for separation has also arrived.

At noon, Ding Guoguo helped light the fire in the kitchen, and she couldn't do anything else.

There was a lot of trouble in the yard, and Ding Ning's two sisters came back. In addition to them, there were their respective husbands, plus three children of eight or nine years old.

Ding Ning was playing with the three children in the yard, and Ding's father was sitting with his two sons-in-law drinking tea and chatting under the osmanthus tree in the yard.

And Ding Ning's two sisters are in the kitchen, plucking garlic and killing fish, and they are very busy.

Ding Guoguo stuffed the stove with firewood, stood at the door and looked at the yard for a while, and chatted with the mother and daughter of the Ding family for a while.

It's been so many years, it seems that except for the New Year, this is the time when the Ding family of ten gathers the most.

"Guoguo."

Ding Jing leaned against the door and looked at Ding Guoguo in the courtyard with a smile.

"Huh?"

She replied nonchalantly.

"Come here."

Ding Jing beckoned her and motioned for her to sit in front of her.

She walked over and sat down.

"You see my little brother-in-law is okay, right?"

Ding Jing asked with a smile and lowered her voice.

The smile on Ding Guoguo's face froze slightly, she lowered her head and said softly, "It's good, it's just not suitable for me." ”

"Why doesn't it fit?" Ding Jing's voice raised a lot, and she persuaded with emotion and reason, "Ziheng is not bad-looking, has a good temperament, and knows the roots, and if you know the roots, you will definitely not be guilty of marrying in the past." Guoguo, you're twenty-one. Ordinary people like you are not married, don't spit on others and drown. ”

"Yes, Guoguo, Ziheng, I don't look bad at that kid."

Ding's mother, who heard their conversation, leaned over and echoed.

Ding Guoguo smiled helplessly and reminded, "I've been married twice." ”

"What kind of marriage are you, you haven't even entered the cave house, how can you count!"

Ding Ning's eldest sister also came over and echoed.

"Yes, Guoguo, there won't be that shop after this village. Ziheng is really good, and he has a good impression of you, and he likes you very much. ”

Ding Jing saw that someone was helping, and persuaded even harder, "This child can be regarded as something I grew up watching, if you believe me, I won't harm you." ”

Ding Guoguo suddenly felt a headache, she stroked her forehead with one hand, stood up and looked at the three women who were looking at her, and said with a wry smile, "Is it okay not to talk about this today?" I don't want to upset everyone about this. ”

Ding Jing sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

Ding Guoguo breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the back of the stove and sat down, and lit the fire silently.

Sixi meatballs, steamed pork, braised pork ribs, salted chicken, osmanthus duck... A large round table with a lot of dishes can't fit it. Of course, moon cakes are indispensable, because Ding Ning's sisters are going back in the afternoon and have a reunion dinner with their in-laws in the evening, so the moon cakes are also brought forward.

Ding Guoguo took a piece of moon cake, took a bite, and looked at the people sitting around the table with a smile, laughing and persuading each other to drink, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

On such a reunion day, it is not suitable to say parting.
