Chapter 13: The Xue Family (1)
Ding Zhao asked again, "Is there a family in the village that gives birth to calves or lambs?" The fragrance with the fragrance frightened Zhang, and the milk was also scared back. Xiangxiang has been drinking rice soup since she was born, and I went to buy a bowl of milk. ”
Ding Zhuang's distressed face wrinkled into a heap, "My poor granddaughter, she is old and guilty." Your third uncle's ewe has just given birth to a lamb and is going to his house to ask for some goat's milk. Alas, if we knew that there was today, our family would not buy bulls and cows. ”
Ding Zhao went out with a gift for the third room.
Listening to the conversation between the father and son, Lilac felt like she had won the jackpot. It is said that in ancient times, patriarchy was preferred, and this family was not only the opposite, but also regarded girls as treasures for special reasons.
Especially Ding Zhao, he knows that he is not his daughter.
Lilac felt Ding Zhuang's big hand caressing her face gently. The big hand dangled in front of her eyes, rubbing the back of his hand against her face, not his fingers. Probably the iron man's fingers were thick in calluses, so he used the back of his hand.
Lilac couldn't help but cry out silently, "Grandpa." ”
The grandparents in the previous life were patriarchal and didn't like this granddaughter. After my parents divorced, I never saw them again.
Unexpectedly, in this life, she was given a pair of adoptive fathers who loved her, and she was also given a good grandfather who loved her.
With little effort, Ding Zhao came back with a big bowl of goat's milk, and Zhang took it to the kitchen to cook.
The meal was already on the table. Seeing the roast chicken on the table, the sound of Ding Lichun's two brothers swallowing saliva was extremely clear.
Ding Zhuang ignored his grandson's gluttony and said, "Feed Xiangxiang before eating." Poor man, I've been drinking rice soup for so long. ”
Zhang came in with boiled goat's milk, let it cool and fed the cloves.
The smell of goat milk was strong, and the cloves still endured the nausea and drank it. Goat's milk is good for the body, she wants to grow tall and watery, and she can't just drink rice soup. I also want to finish it quickly, so that the two little brothers can eat roast chicken earlier.
Xiang Xiang was well fed and drunk, and was placed on a large chair with armrests. It was surrounded by quilts on three sides, and a stool was placed in front of it.
They watched her while eating.
Ding Zhuang was happy and tore a roast chicken leg for Ding Liren, who had a sweet mouth, and Ding Zhao tore off another chicken leg and put it in his father's bowl.
Ding Liren's eyes were all gone, and he munched on the chicken legs.
Ding Zhuang's father and son talked about their respective situations while drinking.
How did Ding Zhao heal his arm, earn money in the hospital, and also learned the skills of treating boils and carbuncles and dispensing pills by the way......
The crops in my hometown have been harvested, how much grain have I left, and how much tax have I paid......
Ding Lichun went to study in a private school in the town at the beginning of this year, and he couldn't write a few big characters after reading for more than half a year, and he was often beaten and scolded by his husband, which was much worse than Ding Zhao at the beginning. Look at it again, he really can't read it, and he will have to learn to strike iron from them in the future......
I added a granddaughter to my own house, and I was happier than my grandson, and I had a treat in a few days. Not only should we invite the three rooms and big houses in our village, but also invite the relatives of the neighboring villages, and definitely not invite the Ding Xia family. The relationship between Ding Zhuang and his eldest brother Ding Li only eased a few years ago, and he still has no contact with Ding Xia's family......
Ding Lichun complained again, "A few months ago, my lord had a fight, and I was lame for several days. ”
Ding Zhao worried, "Is Dad's body broken?" No matter what, you should wait until your son comes back to fight. ”
Ding Zhuang said, "Lao Tzu is not old yet, why do you have to wait for you to come back to fight?" Damn, those bastards bullied the third child and went to his shop to collect protection money, which didn't take my red nose in his eyes. I led the beams and stones and beat them so that they couldn't get out of bed for days. Hmph, I thought Lao Tzu was too old to beat them. didn't inquire, when they were still feeding, Lao Tzu was the number one tyrant in Gu'an Town. ”
Lilac smacked her mouth, such a gentle grandfather used to love to fight in groups, and he was still a "tyrant". Ding Hongnose, this nickname is not good.
Xiao Zhengtai Ding Liren is concerned about his own problems.
"Daddy, how much is a pound of roast chicken?"
"Twenty-eight wen a pound."
"Twenty-five pounds in the town, you buy it expensive."
Zhang explained, "I bought Guo chicken in Baishui Town, and his roast chicken is also famous in the county. ”
Ding Lichun said, "It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, as long as it's delicious." Today's roast chicken is so delicious. ”
Ding Zhuang snorted, "As far as you are greedy, the family's money is not blown by the wind." You can't eat or wear, and you can't be poor for a lifetime. ”
Ding Liren hurriedly said, "Grandpa and dad are working hard to make money. ”
Ding Zhuang nodded, and put another piece of chicken in the second grandson's bowl.
Ding Lichun was so angry that he puffed out his cheeks.
Lilacs are funny. Ding Lichun is an iron man, and Ding Liren is a little fine bean.
This home is very interesting.
She listened to the gossip, smelled the smell of roast chicken and wine, and fell into a dream.
What she didn't know was that the third grandfather Ding Li brought the third grandmother Xie and the little cousin Ding Zhen to see her, and Xie hugged her and praised her.
Ding Zhuang smiled and narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
Lilac was awakened by a suppressed moan.
You don't have to listen much, you know that Ding Zhao and Zhang are doing that.
After listening to the big drama patiently, I continued to listen to the two couples talk about family affairs.
Zhang asked, "Really don't tell my father about Xiangxiang's life experience?" ”
Ding Zhao said, "Don't talk about it." Dad put his thoughts about my mother on Xiangxiang, and he was in a much better mood. We originally regarded Xiangxiang as our daughter, which is very good. ”
Zhang asked again, "What kind of person is the mother-in-law, is she really an illegitimate daughter?" ”
didn't get an answer from her husband, so she hurriedly said, "Forget it, just because I didn't ask." ”
Since she married into this family, her father-in-law and husband only talked about how beautiful and virtuous her mother-in-law was and how much hardship she had suffered, but never mentioned her background, and Ding Zhao had never been to a foreign house.
She had heard some discussion from the villagers, saying that the Xue family was as beautiful as a fairy, the illegitimate daughter of a rich family, who couldn't survive at home, and was willing to marry the ugly and poor blacksmith Ding. Some people say that the Xue family came out of the building, and Ding Zhuang made up this origin in order to look good......
Ding Zhao was silent for a long time, and Ding Xiang thought he was asleep, so he opened his mouth again.
"My mother was indeed the illegitimate daughter of Xue Pingfu, the richest man in Linshui County at that time, and she was on the file in the county government. The Xue family used to live in Linshui County, and later moved to the provincial capital. My mother has been living in the countryside with my grandmother when she was a child, and after my grandmother died, my grandfather took my mother to the county seat and lived in a separate courtyard outside.
"A year later, my grandfather also died of a sudden illness, and my mother's affairs were known to her mother-in-law. The old woman came to the door and wanted to sell my mother to a big official as a concubine, but my mother didn't want to ......."
When Ding Zhuang was eighteen years old, he was still an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, and that day his master asked him to go to the county seat to deliver kitchen knives. When passing by a lake, I encountered someone who committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake. There were many people on the shore, but no one went into the water to save people.
Ding Zhuang didn't think about it so much, and hurriedly jumped into the lake to rescue the people.
Unexpectedly, among the people watching the excitement by the lake was Xue's mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law of the Xue family may have seen that Ding Zhuang was poor and ugly, and said to the Xue family, "Your reputation has been ruined by him, and you can't marry a good family." Choose the path I chose for you, or choose to marry him? ”
