Chapter 20: Narcissism

It suddenly went dark in front of him, and Ding Zhuang's big hand blocked Lilac's eyes, "You can't look at the sun, it hurts your eyes." ”

Her eyes lowered and looked around, and the boys in front of the door were curiously gathered around.

They often listen to the Ding brothers brag about how good-looking their sister is. It's really good-looking, whiter and more tender than those little girls in the town.

Lilac also looked at them curiously. The children looked very poor, their clothes were thin and patched, and two of them had snot from the cold. My little brother's clothes also have patches, which are not bad, and they are also thick and round.

Ding Zhuang saw that the weather was good and his granddaughter liked it, so he hugged her and walked to the right.

"Let's go, my lord will take you to the third grandfather's house."

He wants to discuss with Ding Shan about worshipping the ancestral tomb tomorrow and Ding Shuniang's return to her parents' house on the fourth day of the new year.

The second room and the big room do not deal with each other, and these things are mainly handled and coordinated by the third room.

When Ding Shuniang went back to her parents' house, she always went back to the third room, and invited the Ding family except Ding Xia's family to the third room for dinner, and the three families shared the money equally.

Not seeing Ding Xia's is Ding Zhuang's bottom line, if Ding Xia's family goes to the second room, he won't go.

Of course, Ding Shan and Ding Shuniang are heading for the second room.

Ding Xia's family once made a big fuss, and the big house didn't go for a few years to show his displeasure. But every time Ding Shuniang goes back to her parents' house, she brings a lot of good things, and Ding Xia has to let men and descendants go. Not only can you eat good food for free, but you can also take something home.

Although the lilac can't see far, its eyes are still rolling along the way, and it is full of interest to watch.

Especially those who can see clearly when they are close to her, their eyes can be stunned. She knew that her eyes would not cause others to be unhappy at this time, and people treated her as a little milk baby who didn't understand anything.

The villagers greeted "Shopkeeper Ding" and praised their granddaughter for being smart.

Ding Zhuang loved to listen to these words, and his laughter was extremely loud.

frowned and said modestly, "This Nizi is good at everything, but she is too handsome, too white and tender." Alas, sad, where is she like those black and rough country girls. ”

Lilac got goosebumps on her body. Why is this so tea, it doesn't match grandpa's tough temperament.

The flatterer shook his lips, and he wanted to praise a few more words, but he didn't want to continue to praise.

Ding Zhuang said again, "My family's fragrant fragrance is not only watery, but also extremely smart, and I will be Feng Suzhen in the future and take the female champion." ”

Then he walked with the steps that his six relatives did not recognize.

Ding Xiang saw the man covering his cheeks, and stared at Ding Zhuang's back with sore teeth and no anger.

If the person in front of him wasn't Ding Hong's nose, he would rush forward and spit on him a few times, which was too annoying.

Lilac was embarrassed. Grandpa is also too narcissistic, narcissistic to the point that it is disgusting. It's not praising her, it's pulling hatred.

They came to a courtyard and heard a familiar voice, "Second uncle, ouch, Xiao Xiangxiang has also come out." My father-in-law is at home, and he sits in the second uncle's house. ”

It is Ding Qin's daughter-in-law Zhao.

"Second uncle."

Ding Qin also greeted.

They were posting couplets in front of the courtyard gate.

Ding Qin has asthma, is short and very thin. He can't do heavy work, mainly looking at the family's shop. There are Ding Shan for purchase, Xie and Zhao for farming, and occasionally short workers.

When Ding Shan heard the voice, he came out and said with a smile, "Second brother come in and drink tea." ”

Xie stretched out his hand, "Ouch, Xiao Xiangxiang has come to the third grandmother's house as a guest, a rare guest." ”

Ding Zhuang was relieved of this younger brother and sister and handed over the cloves to her.

Lilac is very familiar with the third grandmother, and her little hands are around her neck.

The two brothers entered the house to talk, and Xie walked around in front of the courtyard gate with Lilac in his arms, watching his son and daughter-in-law paste couplets.

The little cousin Ding Zhen is only two years old, and the road is still unstable, pulling the placket of Xie's clothes to see "Sister Xiangxiang".

Xie lowered his body to let her see.

Ding Zhen liked it very much, and reached out to grab it.

Xie Shi hurriedly said, "You can't catch it." Sister Xiangxiang is the second grandfather's baby egg, and if she catches it, the second grandfather wants to beat someone. ”

Ding Zhen was most afraid of the dark and tall second grandfather, who spoke like thunder, and hurriedly retracted his hand. Nuo Nuo said, "Just look, don't touch." ”

Xiao Nizi has the small eyes and upturned mouth unique to the Ding family, but it is as if it has been retouched, and she has also inherited Zhao's goose egg face, with a bright smile and a delicate and pleasing face.

Lilac liked this little cousin very much, and said "ah" to her a few times.

Ding Zhen jumped happily, "Sister Xiangxiang likes Zhenzhen." ”

At this moment, several women approached.

A woman said, "This is Blacksmith Ding's granddaughter?" Tsk, Blacksmith Ding didn't brag, this girl is very good-looking. That family was able to give birth to such a handsome Nizi, and the ancestral grave was smoking. ”

Xie Shi said, "Have you ever seen my second sister-in-law, who is handsome and white, and can read and write." Xiangxiang is like her. ”

Another woman said, "Blacksmith Ding is blessed, married to a beautiful woman, and rich. I heard that Blacksmith Ding was a bastard before he got married, and he liked to fight and make trouble the most. After marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law, it was changed all at once. It's a pity that his daughter-in-law was rubbed to death by her mother-in-law at a young age. ”

One said, "I don't blame the old woman, it was instigated by Ding Xia." ”

Another person said, "How can you blame my third aunt, if you want to blame it, blame Ding Blacksmith and Xue's doorman." Several brothers live under the same roof, one room is rich, the other room is so poor that they lick ashes, and no one is happy. His daughter-in-law gave birth to a son and died, so why should she beat her brother and sister-in-law. The family was divided into a family, and the old lady was also angry. How can you get rich? How can you get rich? The reputation of unfilial piety spread. ”

The woman who said this was close to Lilac, and Lilac could see clearly, and she looked like she was about thirty, and she should be Ding Xia's niece. Like Ding Xia, he married in this village.

Xie frowned and said, "You can't say that, the second room is so rich that it depends on the dowry of the second sister-in-law." The second sister-in-law has already used the money to build a house and buy land for her mother-in-law's family, and the sister-in-law wants to lick her face and go over, and when the family is separated, the big house will have a big head. There is no such reason! My mother-in-law died of illness and had nothing to do with my second uncle. ”

When Xue was alive, Xie had already married into the Ding family. She saw how Ding Xia's family and her mother-in-law asked for more dowry from the Xue family, and she wanted to pull her in to deal with the Xue family together.

Xie despised his mother-in-law and sister-in-law in his heart. obviously made a great contribution to the family, but the people who received the favor were not satisfied, and they also forced people to death.

Wu Xia said again, "Why didn't it matter?" The old people all said that the old lady was angry with the blacksmith Ding. At the beginning, he wanted his son to take the Tongsheng exam, but no one was willing to vouch for his son, just because he was unfilial. ”

Ding Xiang knew that this was the reason why Ding Zhao did not take the imperial examination.

The ancients had perverted some concepts, asked for a daughter-in-law's dowry, and tortured people to death, just because she was an elder, the younger generation had to suffer. If you don't accept it, you are not filial.

Of course, Ding Zhuang's reputation Ding Xia's mother's family must have contributed. The surname Xia in Beiquan Village is a big surname, most of the people are surnamed Xia, and now Li Zheng is still the cousin of Ding Xia.

Lilac glared at the woman and said "ah" a few times, which means "you're eating a fart".
