On the morning of September 26, Ding Zhao carried his bags and took his family's expectations to the dock to take a boat and set off for the capital.

The rhetoric is that Ding Zhuang's health is still not very good, so he went to the capital to find Doctor Fang to inquire about his condition, and then buy some good medicine and come back.

As soon as Ding Zhao was sent away, Ding Xiang began to eagerly look forward to his return.

I hope he can sell it for a good price to improve the plight of this poor family.

It's not too cold now, so you can take a boat when you go. When I came back, the river must have been closed, so I had to take the land route, and the time would take longer.

It would be nice to be home at the end of October.

Lilac's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat's scratch. She very much wanted Ding Zhao to inquire about the news of Princess Dongyang, Xun Juma, and the Xun family, but in the end she had to suppress this thought.

Now, those few news can't be further away for Lilac, and she doesn't even want to face it anymore. But I felt that I had to face it, not only to get rid of those bad guys, but also to find out the deeper reasons.

She pretended to be nothing and accompanied Ding Zhuang to relieve her boredom.

Ding Zhuang also seems to have something on his mind, and he is always absent-minded. Sometimes Lilac repeats a few words, and he realizes that his granddaughter is talking to him.

Except for Ding Lilai, who has no heart and lungs to be happy, everyone in this family is worried and looking forward to it.

The next day, Ding Lichun, who had been working for more than a month, finally took a day off and went home.

The little boy seems to have grown up all of a sudden, and he has acted and spoken a lot more calmly.

He also gave his grandfather a set of punches, which made Ding Zhuang extremely happy.

Rapid growth is heart-wrenching, but Lilac is still more happy than sorry.

He brought back a pound of braised pig's head meat, and he also brought back good news.

Now the little lady in the county town is particularly interested in bringing colored bracelets, and even his master's little girl has bought one. Merchants from the south to the north will buy many roots at one time, not only for their daughters-in-law, but also for some to buy back to see how to weave them, and make them up to sell them in their own shops.

Today's Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop is more famous, and many people who pass by Linshui County will go to the Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop to buy embroidery.

Lilac's chest shuddered. Before, she wanted to use a few different products to make her embroidery pavilion famous, but unfortunately the main brand of "color bracelet" was sold at the lowest price.

Lilac asked about the situation in Qian Dahu's family again, and he must have a good relationship with this great god.

Qian Dahu has two sons and one daughter, the eldest son is 20 years old, and he is a deputy general in the Jiaozhou army. The youngest son is twelve years old and is studying in the county school, and his goal is to take the martial arts examination.

The daughter's name is Qian Yuniang, she is fourteen years old this year, she has been married, and her fiancé is also serving in the army.

Although Qian Dahu is no longer in the army, his connections in the army are still good, and his son and son-in-law are in the army.

I heard that Miss Qian likes colored bracelets, Lilac drew a different kind of colored bracelet, and Zhang's made two overnight, the same style, different colors.

Let Ding Lichun transfer it to her.

Ding Lichun is quite feudal, why is it, "I'm a post-born boy, is it okay to give this to the little lady?" ”

Lilac said, "It was your sister who gave her a hand and asked you to change hands." ”

The weather is getting colder, and Ding Zhuang's severed finger is getting better.

Lilac also saw the three small fingers, only two or three centimeters long, red and swollen, with thick scabs.

Lilac was distressed and cried.

Ding Zhuang said, "The female doll is timid, so if you don't let you see it, you have to watch it." It's all right, don't cry soon. ”

Even if Ding Zhuang didn't say that it hurt, Ding Xiang could see that he was in pain, frowning from time to time, and sometimes smoking cold air.

The colder it gets, the more pain there is.

In addition, Ding Zhuang fell ill due to angry hemoptysis, his body was weak, and he often had fever and cough.

Every day, he would eat a small sip of Ganoderma lucidum powder and drink a small half cup of Ganoderma lucidum soaked in wine. If you don't have such a good Ganoderma lucidum, your body will be even worse.

Since seeing Ding Zhuang's wound, Lilac asked for the job of changing the cloth belt again, wrapped her hand and tied a beautiful bow, and blew it again.

It's strange that after his granddaughter's operation, Ding Zhuang just felt that the pain was reduced.

After pondering, Lilac thought of two more ways to make money. In order not to be abrupt, she watched Zhang's noodles cook soup every day, and asked some questions that she didn't know what to do.

Under the training of Lilac, many jobs can be done by himself. His grandmother was very nice, and asked her subordinates to send him winter clothes and food a few times, and also gave Ding Zhuang a pack of tonics.

Xiao Zhengtai's biggest disadvantage is that he is clingy. Except for the thatched house, almost inseparable from the clinging cloves. I also want to hold her hand and talk about the sorrow of thinking about my father and mother.

He was very cunning when he should be cunning, and he knew that he couldn't say this in front of his grandfather, because he would be scolded very badly if he said it, and it was possible to be beaten.

Lilac also wanted to scold his father, but when he saw Xiao Zhengtai's pitiful appearance, he still said, "Didn't your father say that your mother is prosperous, they can't die." ”

Finally, by the end of October, Ding Zhao did not come back.

The family was anxious and anxious.

In the middle of winter, Ding Liren went to sleep on Ding Zhuangkang again.

Zhang also wanted Lilac to sleep on her kang, and Ding Li came and went to Ding Zhuang.

Lilac didn't agree. I finally split the bed, but I don't want to go back again. She didn't move, and Ding Lilai didn't move.

The Zhang family couldn't, so they had to add mattresses and quilts to them, and let them hold a soup woman by themselves.

There was always a copper kettle on the stove where the kang was burning, and Zhang had to get up in the middle of the night to change the water in the soup pot for them.

Lilac was embarrassed to find extra work for her mother, but she just didn't want to sleep with them anymore.

On the sixteenth day of the winter month, heavy snow fell.

The earth, the roofs, and the trees were covered with a thick layer of snow, and the whole world was covered in snow.

It got dark early, and at the end of the Shen period, an oil lamp was lit in the house.

Zhang went to the kitchen to cook dinner, and Ding Liren, who had just returned home, sat under the oil lamp and read.

Lilac leaned on his grandfather to relieve his heart, and grandpa waited anxiously for his father. Ding Lilai took Lilac's little hand, and several people sat on the big kang and squeezed together.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

At this time, there are few people visiting the house.

The eyes of several people lit up.

Ding Lilai jumped off the kang and said, "Second Uncle is back?" ”

It's rare for him to react so quickly.

Ding Liren has already run out.

Zhang's surprised voice sounded, "Father-in-law, the head of the family is back." ”

Several people ran out.

Ding Zhao gave the donkey cart driver ten cents, and walked the yard with two large baskets.

Ding Xiang ran to hug her father's thigh, Ding Zhao laughed, put down the flat shoulder and ran her daughter.

He didn't greet his father first, but looked at Lilac and smiled, "Good girl, Dad misses you." ”

Lilac felt that her father's eyes were different from usual, and she was pityful.

Daddy has always pitied her, hasn't he?

Lilac slapped her father's big face like an ice cube with her little face, and said happily, "I miss Daddy too." ”

A few people entered the house, and Zhang picked up the big basket and followed up.

Except for Ding Li who looked back and forth in the basket, thinking about the delicious food in the basket, everyone looked at Ding Zhao.

Ding Zhao smiled, "It was sold for a good price." ”
