Zhang stroked Lilac's face and smiled, "Time flies so fast, my daughter has grown up and is going to wear earrings."

Ding Zhuang sighed, "I feel that yesterday I carried her all over the village, and today I have grown so tall."

He looks forward to her growing up every day, and when she really grows up, she is going to wear earrings, and her heart is empty.

Lilac went over and pulled his sleeve and sprinkled on it.

Ding Zhao's eyes showed him carrying the box in the crowd. By accident, he brought this girl home for eight years......

And Old Man Qin, if you look at the cloves a few times, you will take a look at Ding Zhen.

In the next few days, if Ding Xiang was not in class, she would walk and talk with Mrs. Zhu at home, and sometimes call Ding Zhen to play. If there is a class, Mrs. Zhu will go to Tao's house to chat with the old lady.

Sun and Mu and Ding Lichun either met to play at Ding's house, or they went to Tao's house to play, a pair of comrades-in-arms and brothers with an excellent relationship. The bear child is not as tsundere and clean as before, and is much more gregarious.

Life is happy and happy.

Two days before leaving, Old Man Qin, Ding Lichun, Sun Youmu, Ding Zhao, Feifei, and Qian Lei went into the mountains to hunt again, and rested at Zhang's house at night.

On the morning of July 27, Mrs. Zhu and her family returned to Jiaozhou.

They came and went in a hurry, and Lilac, Zhang, and Mrs. Tao were very reluctant.

Lilac brought some Ganoderma lucidum powder to Mrs. Zhu and Old Man Qin, and washed water to drink on the way. He also said that when the apples were red, he would bring more with them.

After they left, Ding Zhuang had a secret conversation with Ding Shan behind closed doors. He couldn't say that someone had taken a fancy to Ding Zhen, he only said that Ding Zhen was his niece and granddaughter, and he would help find a good family in the future......

When Ding Shan came out, he couldn't hide his excitement, he always hoped that Ding Zhen could marry a good family.

After that, as long as Ding Xiang didn't go to Tao Mansion to attend classes, Ding Zhen would come to the second room to stay for half a day.

Or follow Lilac to read and write, or follow Aunt Wei to learn etiquette.

At the beginning of August, Ding Shan and Xie bought Ding Zhen a girl, who was thirteen years old.

Ding Zhen said that it was autumn and the leaves were yellow, so he named her Qiuhuang.

Xiao Nizi didn't read in vain, she was quite poetic.

Zhang also wanted to buy another girl for Lilac, but Lilac didn't ask for it.

She is now a country girl, and there is a girl and a mother-in-law who serve and there is already gossip.

Zhang bought another little boy back. is not only a slave in the family, but also recognizes Yang Hu and his wife as his father.

Yang Hu and his wife can't have children, and they want to adopt a son to support their old age.

The two were very good, one was a good orchard attendant, and the other was a good needleworker. Several members of the Ding family were very satisfied, and the Zhang family thought of this idea.

The little boy was just three years old, and his facial features were quite delicate, but he was too thin, and he didn't have enough to eat at first glance. Hearing that his old son and mother died of illness one after another, his grandmother sold him and his sister and used the money to build a house for his second son to marry a daughter-in-law.

Who said "there are parents in the world"? There are many unvirtuous parents.

After listening to the child's life experience, the Ding family was very sympathetic.

The child kowtowed to Yang Hu and his wife. When I called my father, the little people cried.

At such a young age, I knew that I was crying with joy, but I could see how frightened I was in the previous days.

Yang Hu named him Yang Bao, which means to report the kindness of his master.

Yang Hu's family put the prepared silver collar on Yang Bao, and was reluctant to let go of the child when he picked up the child.

Ding Zhuang gave a lot of wages, plus rewards, Yang Hu and Li Maigao's life was better than that of many villagers.

The Ding family had already built a few houses in the southwest of Beiquan Village, near his family's orchard, with an earthen wall in the middle, for the Yang and Li families to live in.

A few rooms were vacated in the west courtyard of the Ding family. Mama Wei and Li Hui each live in one room, and Li Dalu brothers live in one room.

In the east courtyard, except for a few masters, only Aya'er lives in one.

One afternoon in October, Lilac and Zhang were sitting at the table and preparing to eat.

Li Dalu came to report, "Sister, there is a person who claims to be from the dart bureau who wants to see you, saying that one of your old people has brought you a letter and some silver."

Lilac Mengquan, "My old man, the man from the Dart Bureau, brought me a letter and silver?"

Zhang also wondered, "It can't be a bad person, right?"

Lilac said, "Invite him in."

Li Dalu led a man in his thirties in.

The man Niu was tall and big, hugged Lilac and Zhang's fists and said, "You are the Lilac girl from Beiquan Village, right?"

Lilac nodded, "Yes."

The man took out a letter and a small cloth package from his bosom and presented them, "Dart."

Lilac didn't answer and asked, "Who carried the dart?"

The man said, "The dart master didn't say it, but only said that Miss Ding would know it after reading the letter."

Lilac stretched out her hand, but Zhang stopped her, stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me."

The man glanced at Lilac, and Lilac nodded.

The man just handed over the letter and the small package to Zhang.

When Zhang opened the package, it was twenty-six ingots of silver, two taels each, for a total of fifty-two taels. Then she took out the letter, and there were several lines written on it, and she was illiterate, so she handed it to Lilac.

Lilac took it. Look at the book

The nomination is, Xiangmei Fangjian.

The letter was to the effect that she was fine now, and that she should not be worried. The fifty-two taels of silver, twelve taels of cloves, and forty taels of Ding Sifu. Thirty taels of them were used to treat their legs, and ten taels were to study for two years. also said that she only has this ability now, and she will repay Xiangmei after earning more money in the future and build a house for Ding Sifu.

also asked Ding Xiang that she asked someone to send money back, except for her and Ding Sifu, not to make it public for the time being.

Finally, don't think about it, and then pray for it.

Settle down, sister.

Lilac knows who it is.

It's Ding Hope. She was illiterate before, and even if she took a crash course, she would not be able to write such beautiful words and the written language of crepe.

The letter was ghostwritten.

It's good to save so much money in two years.

Lilac was overjoyed and asked, "Where does the writer of the letter work?"

The man said, "The master didn't say it." He took out a similar receipt and ink, "Miss Ding has received the goods, please sign on it."

Lilac looked at it, signed and pressed her handprint.

The man bowed down to leave, and Lilac said, "Uncle has worked hard, let's eat a light meal before leaving?"

She still didn't give up, and wanted Li Maigao to accompany the wine to talk.

The man shook his head, "Miss Xie Ding, you still have to hurry up next."

After the man left, Lilac said the contents of the letter.

Zhang also felt that it was written by Ding Pandi, "It's a good thing that Brother Pandi has a future, why are you so chattering?"

Lilac shook her head.

Yes, why is Ding Pandi so mysterious?

Lilac thinks there are several possibilities.

First, she was afraid that Ding Youshou would know where she went to her to ask for silver, she didn't want to recognize this father, who was not responsible, and she couldn't say it clearly, so she had to avoid him like this.

Second, being in a bad place and being embarrassed to be exposed.

Third, being in too good a place is inconvenient to expose.

It seems that the first option is the most likely, but the second and third are not impossible.

When Lilac looked at the bill just now, I paid special attention to it, and it was written "Beijing Wantong Dart Bureau......
