After coming out of the town government office, Mingyue felt that it was a bit inappropriate to follow them any longer. She was worried about it, but Jian Ning suggested going to the school. She was overjoyed, but before she could say anything, Ding Youtian shook his head and spoke first.
"No need. The teacher is teaching right now, and Dabao is also studying. I will tell you what you want to know later."
He spoke with such confidence that Jian Ning mistakenly thought Dabao had told his father about the fight in school, and she felt a little jealous. The brat was still close to his father and hadn't told her the truth.
"Senior brother, I've been out for a while and have returned home. Congratulations on buying a new house. I'll come to visit you again in the future." After Mingyue said this, she shyly glanced at Ding Youtian again, nodded slightly to Jian Ning, and turned away.
What do these mean?
Jian Ning frowned, saying goodbye to her senior brother and congratulating him. Was her sister-in-law just a decoration? Or was she just air? Or was it just the rules of this era? Did she just need to greet the head of the family?
This girl is really moody. She was fine all of a sudden, but then she became cold to her for no reason. Jane Ning thought about it and it seemed that Mingyue stopped paying attention to her after she asked Dabao whether he won or lost the fight.
It seemed that Mingyue thought she only cared about winning or losing and was worried that her son would suffer. She just asked the question in a hurry. When she thought about it carefully, her question was indeed a bit problematic and could easily lead to misunderstanding.
Since it was her own problem, she let it go. When Ding Youtian told her that Dabao must have had a fight with Ding Gui yesterday, she realized that she had wrongly suspected Dabao and thought that he was the one who took the initiative to tell Ding Youtian.
Old Qin had to hurry back to make clothes, so he bowed and left.
"The carriage should be almost loaded. Let's go get the carriage, buy some food, and go back early." Ding Youtian estimated that it was almost time and suggested going to get the carriage first.
When they arrived, the carriage had indeed been assembled. Jian Ning inspected it and was quite satisfied. The wheels were made of locust wood, which Mr. Ding Sanye described as durable, sturdy, corrosion-resistant, and highly load-bearing. The curtains were made of ordinary, unassuming blue cloth. The carriage was spacious enough, and the seat cushions were covered in thick, dark red, fine-checkered velvet. Jian Ning pressed them and found them soft and resilient. The owner had also ordered small, delicate red lanterns to be hung at each corner of the roof, creating a festive look.
"Oh, this is our family's carriage. We have a carriage now. It looks so nice!" The eldest, second and third girls clapped their hands happily.
"Oh, my aunt has a carriage." Ah Man was not to be outdone and also clapped and cheered.
The carriage dealer thought he had made a great deal, and took the other half of the silver handed to him by Jian Ning, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha. However, he didn't know that after Mr. Ding San drove the carriage away, Jian Ning immediately checked and found that the horse had hemorrhoids, a huge lump that had to be removed immediately after returning home.
Jane Ning first went to the rice shop and bought two hundred kilograms of rice and a thousand kilograms of beans. She had the shopkeeper load the cart and followed behind their horse-drawn carriage. While waiting for the rice shop assistant to load the cart, she squeezed the spiritual spring water onto a few fingers, seemingly stroking the horse, but in fact she was secretly feeding the medicine and spiritual spring water into the horse's mouth.
I don’t know if the horse knew it had an owner and wanted to show off, or if the spiritual spring water and the pain-relieving and itching-relieving medicine took effect, but it looked much more energetic when it was ready to set off.
Jian Ning and Mei Xiang sat in the carriage with their four children. Master Ding San drove the carriage, Ding Youtian sat next to Master Ding San, and the carriage delivering grain followed behind. Jian Ning sat in the carriage and couldn't help but take out the house purchase document with a big red seal from the government to look at it. In the ancient times, she would also be a house owner. Although she was not the head of the household and her name was still Jian Xiu Gu, she couldn't help but feel happy!
"Mom, do we have our names?" asked the big girl.
"Of course there are." Jian Ning pointed to them: "Ding Cheng, this is Dabao's name, Ding Shu, Ding Jia, Ding Yao." She read out the names one by one, first pointing to the names, and then tapping their foreheads: "Mom will find time to teach you how to read in the future."
"Auntie, where is my name? Which one is mine?" Ah Man was anxious. When she didn't hear her own name, she stood up suddenly.
"Hurry up and sit down." Meixiang burst into laughter and hurriedly pulled her to sit next to her. "You are not from their family, so how could your name be there? Your name is naturally the same as your father's."
"Ah, but we are living in my aunt's house now, why can't my name and Sister Meixiang's name be there?"
Meixiang liked to hear what Ah Man said. As for her name, she thought it would come sooner or later, huh!
Ding Youtian said outside: "Xiao A'man, you can be my son's wife. If you become our daughter-in-law, your name will be on our family's property certificate."
"Really? Wow, that's great! Then I'll be Dabao's wife. Uncle, can you add my name to the list now?"
Ding Youtian teased her: "You have to call me daddy first before I can add you in. Also, your aunt can no longer be called auntie, you have to call her mom."
"Daddy! Mommy!" Little Ah Man cheered without any hesitation or shyness, shaking his little body: "Oh, I have a mommy! I have a mommy too, Mommy!"
She broke away from Meixiang and threw herself into Jian Ning's arms.
When Ding Youtian heard her calling him daddy, he could almost imagine how sour Huo Jincheng's face must have been, and he couldn't help laughing.
Mr. Ding Sanye also laughed happily.
"Don't shout like that. This is my mother, not yours." Erniu was unhappy and reached out to push A'man away.
Sanniu also wanted to push, so she stretched out her hand, looked at Jian Ning, and immediately retracted it.
"Ding Jia, Ding Yao." Jian Ning remembered that he hadn't mentioned them yet, so he said with a stern face, "Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Don't make fun of others' weaknesses in the future. If others make fun of yours, wouldn't you feel sad and upset?"
