Ma Fuquan was delighted when he heard this. He liked the three little ones more and more from the bottom of his heart, especially the third one, Ma Xiaodou. He picked up Ma Xiaodou and Ma Qianjin together, and looked at the giggling Sanniu with a smile, "Xiao Yaoyao, are you willing to be Xiaodouzi's wife?"
Sanniu shook her head and said with a smile, "No, Mom said that we are all my parents' little cotton-padded jackets, and I want to be my parents' daughter-in-law."
"Hahaha..." Ma Xiaodou burst out laughing, "Brother, Yaoyao is going to be her parents' daughter-in-law, hahaha..."
"What are you laughing at? You're so annoying!" When he laughed like that, Sanniu knew that she might have said something wrong, but she didn't understand what she did wrong that made him laugh like that. She looked up at him and glared at him, very angry.
Dabao patted Sanniu in a condescending manner and said, "Don't ever talk about marrying my parents again. If you do, you'll be my wife. I'm your brother, and you can't be my wife. Do you understand?"
So that's how it is. Sanniu thought about it and said, "Then I won't marry Xiaodouzi either. He always likes to pull my hair."
"Yaoyao, I didn't pull your hair. I touched your hair, not pulled it. If you don't like it, I won't touch your hair anymore. Will you be my little wife?"
Sanniu tilted her head and said, "No, I don't want to."
"I do, Uncle Ma, I want to be Xiaodouzi's wife." Erniu thought Ma Xiaodou was very interesting. Originally, she, like Sanniu, also wanted to be her parents' wife, but Dabao said no, so Ma Xiaodou would be the choice.
"No, I don't want you to be my wife." Ma Xiaodou resisted when he heard it.
"Why? They look the same, why is one allowed and the other not?" Ma Fuquan was a little curious about what he was thinking.
"She's a crybaby and annoying."
"I haven't cried much for a long time, you're talking nonsense!"
After Erniu finished speaking, she burst into tears, which made Ding Youtian and Jian Ning who were following behind her laugh.
"It's bad!" Ding Youtian suddenly remembered that he had not yet sent food to his master. Jian Ning had been performing an operation for an hour or so. He was worried that the old man would starve, so he said hello to Jian Ning and quickly walked towards the Ma family.
In ancient times, a few hours was more than two hours. Jian Ning only told Tian that Blind Liu would not come to dinner in the evening, and asked Ding Youtian to bring him food. Unexpectedly, Tian had already prepared a meal for Blind Liu and delivered it personally.
Ding Youtian expressed his gratitude to Tian.
Tian's parents and brothers have all arrived. Last time, Meng brought her eldest daughters to cause trouble. When her mother and brothers came, Jian Ning and Ding Youtian had already left. This was the first time her mother saw Ding Youtian. She knew that her daughter was working for him and Jian Ning, so she praised Ding Youtian a lot.
"I've heard that the fourth son of the Ding family is handsome, but I didn't believe it. Today I finally saw it. There are men in the world who are so handsome and kind-hearted. Compared with you, the three of my family are no match for you."
"Mom, how can you be so good? You can praise others but you can't praise your own son by stepping on him like this."
Tian's brother protested.
"What about your son-in-law? Can you see him?" Tian asked her mother with a smile when she saw Ma Fuquan coming in with Jian Ning and a few little ones.
"You little bitch! My uncle needs no introduction. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He's just adorable."
Tian's father also said: "That's right, he is a perfect match for my daughter."
The old couple had always been quite satisfied with Constable Ma. Although he was not talkative, he had never laid a hand on their daughter and she was respectful to them. They only had one daughter, Tian, and they did not want her to be rich and powerful, but only wanted the couple to live in harmony.
What's more, although the son-in-law is still as talkative as before, he smiles now and has been promoted to the head of the police in the county. He always thinks of them when there is something good. How can the two elders not dislike him?
Tian's mother praised Ding Youtian sincerely, but when it came to who was better, she still thought her own son-in-law was better.
When he saw Jian Ning, he naturally praised her again.
In ancient times, whether it was the families of officials or ordinary people, they were very particular about rules. Traditionally, men had one table and women had another table for banquets at home. But today, Jian Ning was invited to the men's table by the head of the village and the clan leader as an exception.
First, today was Ma Xiaomai's apprenticeship banquet, and second, her exceptional medical skills had everyone in awe. If someone was on par with others, or even just a little bit better, and received special treatment, they would be met with criticism and resentment. But if they were vastly superior, reaching a level unattainable by those around them, everyone would simply admire and respect them, and there would be no room for dissatisfaction.
Jian Ning and Ding Youtian were invited to sit at the top together. Under the supervision of the village head, Ma Xiaomai, who had changed his clothes and dressed neatly, respectfully served tea to Jian Ning, completing the apprenticeship ceremony.
Jian Ning took out the calligraphy written by Ding Youtian. Seeing that she had a gift for him, Ma Xiaomai secretly expected it to be the hidden weapon that Jian Ning had used on him last time. But it turned out to be a calligraphy, and he felt a little disappointed.
Ma Fuquan was a science and engineering man, not familiar with calligraphy or painting, but the Grand Tutor praised Ding Youtian highly. The Grand Tutor thought Ding Youtian's calligraphy was quite impressive for his age. He stroked his beard and nodded several times, "Study hard, and make progress every day..."
"Excellent!" He pondered for a moment, then said, "Excellent!" He continued, "On the seventh day of the first month of winter in the thirty-third year of the Yongping reign, my wife asked her disciple Ma Xiaomai to write a piece of calligraphy."
Yongping is the reign title of the current emperor, Mengdong is the tenth month, Qiyu is the seventh day, and it also bears Ding Tianluo's seal. This is the only calligraphy he has that bears his wife's instructions. Therefore, after he and Jian Ning became famous, someone actually bought it for ten thousand taels of gold. After Ma Xiaomai sold it, he was chased half a block by Tian, the wife of the Marquis, and was almost knocked down by Tian with a large broom.
