Dabao moved to the east room, and Da Niu and the others moved to the west room. Wouldn't that mean she and Ding Lao Si were the only ones left in the main room? Although she traveled through time and space to replace her original body, she was not the original body after all!
My head hurts, how about just putting up with it?
After spending the past few days together, Jian Ning felt that Ding Laosi was not that bad. The most important thing was that he was handsome and elegant. The long gown made him look tall and straight. The two ribbons hanging from his silk scarf not only did not make him look pedantic, but instead made him look smart and capable.
Well, he looked a bit like Jia Lian in the 1987 version of Dream of the Red Chamber. Even his lecherous smile was similar. Jian Ning suddenly remembered the way he smiled coquettishly at the woman selling wine jars.
Cheap! Really cheap!
She is obviously an old lady, but she calls me "big sister" the moment she opens her mouth. He is lucky that she doesn't beat such a bitch to death. He still wants to sleep in the same bed with her, so he can dream on!
If Carpenter Xu comes to exchange the beans later, Jane Ning decides to ask him to make three small beds. Now the big bed in the main room will be moved to the east room, and Ding Laosi and Dabao will sleep on it. She and the three maids will each have a small bed.
There are really a lot of things that need to be added to this house. The two original beds and tables, chairs and benches were separated that day. Old Ding sent the eldest brother and others to move in. They were all broken things with missing limbs, and they had to be remade.
In addition, I have to buy winter clothes. When Dabao gets better, I have to send him to school in the spring of next year. There are really a lot of places to spend money. The first task right now is to make money.
In her previous life, Jian Ning relied on her salary to make ends meet, never having to worry about making money. When she was with Grandma Wu, all she had to focus on every day was studying hard, mastering her medical and martial arts skills, and delving into her cooking skills to make delicious meals. Why did she have to worry so much like she does now? Raising a child is truly difficult, and she missed Grandma Wu, who raised her, even more.
At the dinner table, the four little ones all changed their way of addressing Blind Liu as "Master", especially Sanniu, who called him "Master" the most frequently, calling him "Master" all the time, which made the wrinkles on Blind Liu's forehead smooth out.
"Master, we practiced martial arts with mother this morning. We will practice every morning from now on." Sanniu asked Blind Liu with a smile, "Master, do you want to practice with us? After you practice martial arts well, you won't be bullied by bad guys."
She didn't wait for Blind Liu to respond after she finished speaking, and then shook her head and said, "It's okay if Master doesn't practice. When Sanniu learns well, she can protect Master. If any bad guy dares to bully Master, Sanniu will beat him up!"
"Okay, okay!" Blind Liu stroked his beard and laughed heartily. A haze gathered in his eyes as he laughed, but he quickly hid it. He gave Sanniu a thumbs-up and said loudly, "Sanniu, this is it! Master is waiting for Sanniu to master her martial arts and protect her, hehe."
Jane Ning did not miss the fleeting gloom in his eyes. She just thought that he was thinking about his family who died from the plague. Maybe he also had a lively and clever little daughter?
"Master, from now on you will be our elder and our family, and these four kids will be your grandchildren." A master is a teacher. Blind Liu accepted Ding Youtian as his apprentice, and Jian Ning thought it would be okay to call him a master.
"Hey, old blind man is just a fortune teller in the countryside. How can he be worthy of the title of Master? Just call me Uncle Liu or Old Blind Man."
Obedience is worse than respect, so Jian Ning called out "Uncle Liu". Blind Liu nodded with satisfaction. His eyes swept over the four little ones and turned to Ding Youtian, "The three girls haven't been given names yet, right?"
Liu Xiazi knew that Dabao's full name was Ding Cheng, and it was Ding Youtian who pestered him to name him the son when he had a son. He thought that since Ding Youtian's name was Youtian, his son would naturally inherit his property, so he named Dabao Ding Cheng.
Ding Youtian actually wanted to name Dabao Ding Yao. He felt that the name given by Liu Xiazi was not as bright as his own. But he failed the examination for the title of Tongsheng that year. His mother ridiculed him, saying that you couldn't even pass the examination for the title of Tongsheng, and you still want to point to your son's clan and show off your ancestors.
In the end, Dabao called Ding Cheng.
Later, Dabao was discovered to be stupid, so after Da Niu, Er Niu and San Niu were born, they were called that way all the time. Even the household registers had them written as Ding Da Niu, Ding Er Niu, and Ding San Niu.
If Blind Liu hadn't mentioned Ding Youtian, he wouldn't have remembered that their branch should have its own register, so he said, "Master, please give the three girls some names. Tomorrow I'll go find the head of the village to register them."
He asked Blind Liu to choose a name, and Blind Liu didn't hesitate. He stroked his beard and pondered for a while, and then the names of the three girls came out: Ding Shu, Ding Jia, and Ding Yao.
Jian Ning thought it was great and started calling out Shu'er, Jiajia, and Yaoyao.
The three little girls were also very satisfied with their names, and called them "Master, Master" even sweeter.
Before Blind Liu could finish his drink, a few impatient villagers came carrying beans to exchange for money. Jian Ning and Ding Youtian stood up to greet them.
The four little ones had almost finished eating, so they put down their bowls and chopsticks and ran out.
The villagers came one after another carrying beans, talking and laughing. Tian and Chang also came to help. They were responsible for weighing, Ding Youtian was responsible for recording the beans, and Jian Ning was only responsible for distributing the money.
Just when he was busy, Mr. Ding San came with his two sons. As soon as he entered the door, he ordered his two sons to kneel down.
"Uncle San, what are you doing?" Ding Youtian knew it was about the wild boar incident. Since they had come to apologize, he had to save face. "Get up. I'm sure they didn't mean it. It's all over."
"No, Fourth Brother, we were greedy, but now we know we were wrong. We're sorry and will never do such a sinister thing again!"
After saying this, Mr. Ding Sanye's eldest son kowtowed several times to Jian Ning and Tian Shi, and his younger brother did the same with a blush on his face. The two men were really cruel to themselves, slapping themselves in the face left and right with great force.
