Chapter 16 Ding Zhi

The next morning, Ding Zhuang took Lilac to the mountain to worship the ancestral tomb, in fact, he wanted the Xue family to see her little granddaughter who looked very much like her.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the child cannot be held but carried on his back. Ding Zhuang carried his own back, wrapped the cloves tightly in the quilt, and only a slit was exposed in front of his eyes.

Seeing that Ding Zhuang actually carried the child by himself, Zhang carried a basket with a knife head in one hand and Ding Liren in the other, and the villagers looked at them like monsters.

Where is there a big man who carries his granddaughter and his daughter-in-law follows. That Ding Zhuang looked tall and big, and did everything he could not do on the stage. In the early years, he only recognized his daughter-in-law and did not recognize his mother, and now he spoils his granddaughter to heaven.

They talked about it in private, but they didn't dare to say it in front of Ding Zhuang. Ding Zhuang is a bastard, afraid that he will beat people.

When he arrived at the ancestral grave of the Ding family, he took off the cloves, and Ding Zhuang held them in his arms.

They came to Xue's grave first.

Zhang put the basket down, broke off a branch and swept the tombstone, and then swept the grave. Then take out a bowl of boiled meat and three apples and set them out.

Ding Zhuang squatted down and said, "An An, I'm coming to see you again." We have a granddaughter named Xiangxiang, who looks very much like you, and ...... Hehe, if you see her, you'll like her......"

The voice has never been gentle.

Zhang took the cloves, knelt down and kowtowed, and Ding Liren followed suit.

When they stood up, they noticed that there were at least two dozen birds hovering above their heads, and there were still birds flying here.

Several people hurried down the mountain.

On the tenth day of the first month of September, the second room of the Ding family invited his granddaughter's full moon wine.

The Zhang family was too busy alone, so they invited Ding Shan's daughter-in-law Xie and daughter-in-law Zhao to help.

Through the conversation of the adults, Lilac also knew the basic situation of the Ding family.

The ancestors of the Ding family fled from Shuzhong, and there are not many clansmen here. There are three houses in Beiquan Village, namely the Ding family's big house, the second room, and the third room. There are four in Nanquan Village, a neighboring village, and more than a dozen in Wusong Town, 30 miles away.

Ding Zhuang has three brothers, he is the second in line, and he is 45 years old this year.

The eldest brother Ding Li, forty-nine years old, is honest and honest, and has been farming at home. Daughter-in-law Xia, her mother's family is in this village, and she is shameless to be greedy for money. Ding Zhuang hated her the most, and he never allowed her to enter the second room, and wanted to beat someone when he saw her.

They have two sons, 28-year-old Ding Youcai and 25-year-old Ding Youshou.

Ding Youcai's daughter-in-law, Wang, is as greedy for money as Xia, and she specializes in saying things that don't matter.

The Wang family gave birth to four sons in one go, whose names were Dafu, Erfu, Sanfu, and Sifu. It's good to be able to have a son, but if you have too many children and are poor, the pressure will be great.

Ding Youshou's daughter-in-law, Hao, has always been pressed by the Wang family, and she is not allowed to see her mother-in-law Xia. Because she has not given birth to a son for seven years after marriage, she only gave birth to a daughter, named Ding Pandi.

It was not called this name before, but this year, the Hao family has not given birth to a son, and it has been changed to Ding Pandi.

Ding Zhuang's third brother is called Ding Shan, forty-two years old, who used to run a business outside, but he hasn't run away for a few years, and he rented a small shop in the town to sell dry groceries. Life is not as good as the second room, and it is still better than many families who only rely on farming.

Daughter-in-law Xie Shi.

His son Ding Qin is twenty-three years old, and he has been in poor health since he was a child, and most of the family's money is used to treat him and buy medicine. The daughter-in-law, Zhao, also only gave birth to a daughter, named Ding Zhen.

The Sanfang family was also not happy with the Xia family, because she always wanted to pass on her grandson to the third room.

The relationship between the second and third rooms is very good, and the two families often come and go. Ding Zhao and his wife went to the capital to see a doctor, and Ding Shan asked his daughter-in-law to come to the second room often to do things and help take care of the two children.

Except for the Chinese New Year with the men of the big house to go to the mountain to worship their ancestors, the second room basically does not interact with the big house. This time, Ding Zhuang was very happy, so he invited Ding Li and his two sons.

Ding Zhuang also has a sister-in-law, Ding Shuniang, who is married in Linshui County.

Ding Shuniang is forty-three years old, has a good relationship with the second and third brothers, and also hates her sister-in-law Xia. When you come to Beiquan Village as a guest, you only go to the second and third rooms.

When Ding Shuniang got married, the Xia family didn't want her mother-in-law to give her more dowry, and instigated her mother-in-law to squeeze Xue's private room. Xue liked this sister-in-law very much, and he didn't give it to her, but secretly stuffed her with five taels of silver.

Although Ding Shuniang's mother-in-law's family is in the county seat, they are very poor. After the separation, the man and her took the five taels of silver as the capital, rented a house and opened a bun shop, but I didn't expect the business to get better and better, and later not only bought a house, but also bought a shop.

After Xue's death, Ding Shuniang saw that her second brother couldn't bring the milk doll, so she took Ding An back to her home to raise it. Her son Guo Liang was only one year older than Ding An, and the two children ate and slept together until Ding An married his daughter-in-law.

However, Ding Zhuang especially disliked the second son, one reason was that he felt that the Xue family was born and died of this son, and one reason was that Ding An was not angry.

I also don't like the second daughter-in-law Tang, as if they are pregnant first and then married.

Down had a high fever when he was a child, and he was not very smart when he recovered. It's not completely stupid, it's the kind that lacks the heart.

Ding Zhuang generally didn't mention them, and when he mentioned them, he scolded people, saying that they were one sharp and the other was two, and he took pity on his third grandson......

Ding An's son is called Ding Lilai, and he is two years old.

Ding Zhuang's name before was Ding Lilai.

The word "Li" is not the character of this generation, but because Ding Lichun was born on the day of "Lichun" and gave this name, and later boys used the word "Li" in their names.

But when Ding An registered his child, he secretly changed "Li" to "Li", hoping that the big profits would come in the future.

The name of the heir is a big deal, which made Ding Zhuang angry for several days.

When Lilac heard about this "allusion", she grinned and laughed for a long time.

also invited Zhang's mother's family. Zhang's maiden family was in the mountains, and the journey took more than three and a half hours, and it cost ten yuan to ask someone to deliver the letter. They came one day earlier and left the next day after eating.

That morning, Lilac drank milk, and the two brothers teased for a while and fell asleep again.

When she woke up, she felt like she had fallen from one embrace to another, listening to the compliments of the adults and Ding Zhuang's triumphant haha.

Hugged in a circle, I don't know who is who.

A little daughter-in-law's child is less than a year old and has milk. Zhang asked her to feed the cloves.

As soon as the little circle came over, Lilac turned her head to the side in disgust, and didn't eat it no matter how much she coaxed it.

Zhang had no choice but to take the child and said with a smile, "She was born to eat rice soup and goat's milk, but she can't get used to human milk." ”

Zhang carried her into the bedroom and cut off the noise outside.

There were nearly a hundred guests today, and eleven tables were set up in the courtyard, and one table was set up in the upper hall to entertain the distinguished guests. Listening to Ding Zhao and Zhang's private words, the birth of two sons combined is not as many guests as today.

No matter how many guests there are, it has nothing to do with Lilac, she just cares about sleeping with her head bored.

The next morning the guests left one after another. Ding An's family will leave tomorrow and live in the West Chamber.

Not long after the guests left, Ding Zhuang's scolding and Ding An's slamming sound came from the upper room, followed by smashing the bench and smashing the tea bowl and Ding Liren and Ding Lilai's loud crying.
