Chapter 144: Casting lots
This time he shouldn't have beaten Ding Liren. The little boy is only eleven years old, and he is usually very sensible, respectful to his elders, courteous to his younger brothers and sisters, and does everything well. This matter is screwed, and it is not okay to be reasonable.
Lilac followed Ding Liren to the backyard and saw him squatting next to the chicken pen holding his head and crying.
The little brother cried very sadly, his shoulders shook violently, and the chickens in the chicken pen clucked in fright.
He was sad not only because he didn't live in the north house, but also because of the grievances he usually suffered.
The most distressed child of the elders in the family is Lilac, and it is stipulated that several brothers must let her do everything. The brothers gave it up, and they were willing.
They also think that Ding Lilai is an orphan, and people are also a little stupid and pitiful, and many things force Ding Lichun and Ding Liren to let him.
Ding Lichun is much older than them, and he doesn't live at home for a long time, so he will let it go.
Ding Liren is only two years older than Ding Lilai, and he goes to school and rests the longest. Everything made him have an idea in his heart, and even if he let it, he was reluctant, and this time there was a general outbreak.
Ding Xiang felt that his grandfather said that he should treat Ding Lilai the same as his other two grandsons, and he couldn't let the tragedy of Ding Zhi's house in Ding Shuniang's house be repeated in his own family.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he still looked at Ding Lilai differently, but he didn't know it.
Ding Lichun and Ding Liren were so old that they couldn't count the cloves beaten by their grandfather, but Ding Lilai was beaten no more than ten times.
They have memories of two lifetimes, and no matter how much they spoil themselves, they know how to behave. If it's a real little Lori, it's not necessarily spoiled.
Grandpa's real wife is a double standard, and my father is also a double standard.
Don't talk about them, Lilac feels that she is a little better to Ding Lilai than Ding Liren.
The main reason is that Ding Liren is smart and independent, and he doesn't need to worry about it. And Ding Lilai likes to make mistakes, and he is simple, and many trivial things in life are not handled well, so he needs to care more about him.
Fortunately, Ding Lilai has a pure nature and has not been spoiled.
Thinking of this, Lilac blamed herself very much, and felt even more sorry for this little brother.
Lilac walked over and squatted next to him, pulled his clothes and said, "Second brother, in my heart, you are the most perfect brother."
She always remembered that her little brother had this wish when he was five years old, and he has been working hard for it.
This praise tickled Ding Liren's itch. He choked with tears, looked up and asked, "My sister is telling the truth, am I really the most perfect?"
Under the starlight, the little boy was in tears, his little round nose was red, and there was surprise and joy in his eyes.
Lilac nodded and replied in the affirmative, "Sincerely, of course. I've always remembered that the first thing my brother thought about when he had good food and fun was me......
She counted all the good things Ding Liren had done to her over the years.
Even the cloves were a little embarrassed when they came out, they were adult cores, so they shouldn't take advantage of children like this.
Ding Liren felt itchy and crispy in his heart, and felt that his sister's evaluation was the greatest affirmation of him, and he was more satisfied than Mr. Praise him.
Ding Lilai's selfish ghost can't be so good to his sister, it's not that he doesn't want to be good to his sister, but he can't think of so much. Since my sister knows that she is good, why not stay away from my sister. Besides, the distance is only a hall, and it can be walked in a few steps.
He was relieved.
He wiped a handful of tears, sniffed, and said embarrassedly, "Let my sister see the joke." I'm an older brother, and I shouldn't have let my sister persuade me."
He stood up very gentlemanly and shook his head again.
The little boy has grown very tall, white and thin, and has some of the charm of a small jade tree. Among all the boys in the Ding family, Ding Liren is the whitest and the most gentle.
Lilac took his hand, and the two walked to the front yard together.
When they came around the corner, they saw Ding Lilai standing under the tree watching them.
Ding Lilai asked resentfully, "Second brother, sister, you are angry with me, are you?"
Ding Liren snorted and ignored him.
Lilac said truthfully, "Third brother, you can't always cry when you encounter something."
It means that if you cry for benefits, without martial virtue, fighting is not considered victory.
Ding Xiang didn't do this to Ding Liren and hit Ding Li. Instead, he felt that he should knock Ding Lilai, and he couldn't let him always take advantage of other people's sympathy and struggle, which was not conducive to his growth.
Moreover, even if Ding Zhao doesn't say anything, Zhang will definitely have an idea in his heart. For a long time, Ding Lilai's relationship with his family was not easy.
Ding Lilai lowered his head. Because he let his second brother be beaten, he was very upset, and he also knew that the second brother usually let him go. But let him give up the house, but he didn't want to.
Lilac stepped forward and said, "You all want to live in that room, and you all have your own reasons. I have an idea, you draw lots, whoever wins will live, and you are willing to gamble and lose, and you are not allowed to cheat."
Ding Liren's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way, fair and just.
Seeing that Ding Lilai didn't say anything, Ding Liren snorted coldly, "Sister, forget it, he won't do anything except cry."
Ding Lilai blushed angrily, "Who said I don't want to, just draw lots, don't run out and cry if you lose."
Ding Liren said stiffly, "You can only cry."
The three of them entered Lilac's hut, and Lilac lit an oil lamp, and wrote "north" on a piece of paper and "south" on a piece of paper.
She rubbed them together and changed them in her little hands, and said, "Whoever catches which house to live in, no one is allowed to play with it."
They each grabbed a piece of paper and opened it.
Ding Liren grabbed "Nan", and he glanced at his sister dejectedly.
Ding Li came to catch the "north".
He jumped for joy, "I got it by lot, not by crying." He went over and took Ding Liren's hand and said, "My bed is big, and the second brother is welcome to come to my house if he wants to live in it."
Ding Liren couldn't be angry with him anymore, so he dragged and said, "You said this, don't bother me then."
Lilac gets happy. Ding Lilai is sometimes quite thoughtful, and he resolved the contradiction between the two in one sentence.
Zhang sat alone in the north room. She was a little depressed, her husband and herself have always treated her husband as her own son, and in the end it has not been good......
Hearing the laughter of the three children, I was very puzzled.
She got up and walked over, pushed open the door and asked, "What are you so happy about?"
Lilac held the two paper balls and said with a smile, "The second brother and the third brother draw lots to redistribute the house. Hehe, the second brother still caught the South House."
Ding Liren said, "The husband is willing to gamble and lose, and the south house will be the south house."
Seeing that the children were reconciled as before, Zhang's heart became happy again.
On the third day of June, it was advisable to move, and Ding Liren and Ding Lilai took a day off.
Yesterday they brought a lot of things to the East Courtyard. At night, Lilac was sentry outside the door, and Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao made a dark hole in the underground corner of Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Lilac's room to hide treasures.
