Chapter 100: Soft Persimmon
Ding Mei felt very uncomfortable that Ding Xiaodie could fight side by side with the second young master at the city gate.
When she first learned about this, she wanted to rush out of the basement and at least pretend to be in front of the Second Young Master, but... in the end, she was frightened by her own thoughts and retreated.
The desert soldiers killed people without blinking an eye, so she didn't dare go.
Later, when he learned that the desert soldiers had not even entered the city gate, he felt that he had missed such a good opportunity that he regretted it so much that he almost slapped himself twice.
The next morning.
The sun covered the entire Yangliu Town as usual.
When the first ray of light crept in through the window, heat began to swirl on the ground.
It's so hot this season that it's hard to breathe.
In Wang Dafeng's words: "We haven't burned enough incense and paper, and our prayers are not sincere enough. We must continue to burn this incense."
So he got up early and took the incense left by the original owner of the house and went to the town government office to burn incense and worship the gods.
At the same time, there were many village women who had the same idea as her. They all wanted to burn some incense and worship, hoping that God would blink and send down some rain, even if it was just a light rain.
The village chief Lai Fu also started working early in the morning.
Everyone went to the gate of the yamen to burn incense, and burned a large area of the land black.
This is not good. If a new village head comes to take office one day, it will bring disgrace to the government office.
So he called a few young men from the village to move a huge copper basin from the yamen prison and placed it at the door. If they wanted to burn something, they had to burn it in the copper basin, not on the ground!
Ding Xiaodie stayed at home and helped her mother make breakfast.
She was extremely nervous last night and still felt sleepy even after getting up. She sat in front of the stove, gathering firewood and yawning.
Because the whereabouts of the desert soldiers are uncertain, no one dares to go up the mountain to look for mushrooms, let alone dig lotus roots. Anyway, everyone stays at home, eating when there is food, and starving when there is no food.
"Cousin."
At this time, Dingxiang came into the room to play with her.
The little girl blinked her big eyes, her hair was still messy, and as soon as she entered the house, she only looked into the pot.
It’s impossible to hide a child’s thoughts from an adult.
Zhang Xiu said with a smile, "Ah Xiang, wait a little longer. Auntie will prepare breakfast soon. You can eat with us."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Dingxiang smiled with her eyes curved.
She turned around and saw Ding Xiaodie waving at her: "Come here, I'll help you tie your hair."
"Uh-huh!"
Dingxiang ran over and sat in front of her.
Ding Xiaodie helped her untie the rags on her head and gently combed her hair with a wooden comb.
In her previous life, she even simply tied her hair into a bun. Now she was helping Dingxiang to do her hair in a bun after observing their hairstyles.
"Cousin, you and the second young master were so brave last night." Dingxiang said suddenly.
"Really? But it wasn't just him and I who were brave last night, there were many other people as well!" Ding Xiaodie thought the little girl said that to make her happy, so she explained it to her seriously.
But Ding Xiang said again: "I think you are very brave, but my sister doesn't think so. She thinks you are just trying to show off in front of the Second Young Master."
Ah this?!
Ding Xiaodie and her mother looked at each other. It seemed like Ding Mei couldn't go on without finding an excuse.
At this time, Ding Xiang said again: "My sister is very angry, cousin, you have to be careful."
“…”
The little guy is thoughtful!
She is very young and looks like a softie, but actually she knows the difference between good and evil in her heart. It is rare that she can remain untainted in such a family.
In order to prevent her from worrying about this matter, Ding Xiaodie patted her little head and said casually: "It's okay, she won't do anything to me, don't worry."
After Dingxiang returned home after breakfast, Zhang Xiucai brought up the matter again: "They say they are brothers, but none of them are good people, from the oldest to the youngest. Dingxiang has a conscience to remind you. In short, you must be careful in the future. Don't take it lightly wherever Dingmei is."
"Mom, am I afraid of her?" Ding Xiaodie smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Zhang Xiu's eyes were filled with worry. "Of course I have to pay attention. If anything happens to you again, what hope will your father and I have in this era?"
Ding Xiaodie couldn't help but laugh: "You mean if it was in the previous life, you wouldn't care about my life or death, because there were so many things to do for entertainment and relaxation, so you had hope?"
Zhang Xiu frowned and said angrily, "Do you have any conscience?"
"Oh, okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry, Mom!" Ding Xiaodie quickly ran over and hugged her mother, shaking her, pouting coquettishly.
In her previous life, she also occasionally acted like this towards her parents, but at that time she was tall enough to hug her mother, but now, she could only hug her mother's legs.
Zhang Xiu's heart melted at that moment as she looked down at her daughter. She bent down and hugged her daughter, feeling sad and upset.
"Hey, what are you two doing, mother and daughter?"
Ding Gui, who was confused, just walked in and was very curious when he saw that the mother and daughter seemed to be in a bad mood.
"nothing."
The mother and daughter separated quickly.
They couldn't tell Ding Gui about what Ding Xiang had come to remind them for the time being. If this crazy daughter-doting man knew about it, he might go to Ding De's house and make a scene, which would cause more trouble.
The desert soldiers outside the city have just left, so for now they still have to cherish these peaceful days and live one day at a time.
Just when Ding Gui felt something was wrong and wanted to ask again, the sound of a gong was heard outside.
It turned out to be Lu Xingluo, the second young master of the Lu family, who came to distribute steamed buns and rice porridge.
Last night, with the help of the villagers, the desert soldiers were able to change their route. The Lu family will never forget this achievement.
Today, in addition to steamed buns and porridge, there is also a pot of bacon.
The bacon is cut into thin slices, and each person can get a piece of meat, two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge.
Although the portion doesn't look like a lot, the amount eaten by so many people combined is really a difficult thing for the Lu family.
Hearing the noise, the three members of the Ding family ran out quickly.
Wang Dafeng, who was resting upstairs, ran faster than anyone else. Before leaving, she grabbed Ding Xiaodie and said, "Xiaodie, listen to grandma. If the second young master gives you more food later, then take it. Only when we are full can we have the strength to live. At this time, don't worry about being selfish or not. Live one day at a time and have a full meal at a time!"
The three members of the Ding family were speechless! ! (╥╯﹏╰╥)
The old woman still couldn't change her overly realistic nature.
Soon, the villagers of Aozi Village lined up to wait for the distribution of food.
As usual, Village Chief Lai Fu brought Ding Gui and others to maintain order. No one was allowed to grab things or queue twice. If anyone was found in this situation, they would be immediately expelled from Yangliu Town.
