Chapter 42: I'm proud
Just when the three of them didn't know what to do, Mr. Lu walked out with heavy steps. Looking up, he saw the three children looking terrified.
He guessed that they had heard it, but didn't care. After all, his two sons had grown up, and they would know about it sooner or later.
So he smiled at Ding Xiaodie: "Xiaodie, what are you doing?"
Ding Xiaodie quickly recovered her thoughts and smiled, "Master Lu, this is the black truffle we found in the mountains just now. Madam and the young masters all tasted it and said it was delicious. I want you not to miss it!"
"Really? Then let me try it."
Lu Chenhe hurried over and brought the tray to his father.
Master Lu tasted two slices and said, "Hmm, not bad, not bad. It's really delicious. Xiaodie is really good at finding it. I'll try it again some other day."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mr. Lu was a little absent-minded at the moment. He did not savor the flavor of the black truffle, but was worried about the war because the Modu soldiers were coming.
Ding Xiaodie naturally said nothing and just kept smiling.
Mr. Lu put down his chopsticks, touched her head and left in a hurry.
She then looked at Lu Chenhe and Lu Xingluo, and found that both brothers had expressions of great disappointment in their eyes.
This traditional way of father and son getting along is really hard to describe. There is not much communication. The father likes to be reserved and the son dare not get too close. However, the saddest person is often the son.
Ding Xiaodie sighed inwardly, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "Master, since the master doesn't want to eat, then you two can eat it!"
But the two of them shook their heads.
Lu Chenhe simply put the tray on the side steps of the corridor.
"Why, don't you like eating very much?" Ding Xiaodie was surprised.
Lu Xingluo said, "Xiaodie, you don't understand. Something is going to happen. Something terrible is going to happen!"
"Xingluo, don't scare her." Lu Chenhe immediately stopped her.
Ding Xiaodie smiled slightly: "Second Young Master, are you talking about the coming of the Modu soldiers? It seems that you didn't understand what I said. The guard just now did say that the Modu soldiers were coming, but he also said that they were stragglers, that is, guerrillas. Why should we be afraid of them?"
"Xiaodie, you are so smart." Lu Xingluo's eyes suddenly widened.
You wouldn’t have guessed it, but this little girl has such unique ideas.
Lu Chenhe said calmly, "Xiaodie, we can't be careless about this matter. Who knows if there are other teams behind those stragglers?"
Ding Xiaodie took this opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief: "Young Master is right, I think I should go back first. No matter what happens, it's best to be with my parents."
Seeing that she suddenly agreed with her brother's idea, Lu Xingluo's delicate face suddenly fell, showing no principles.
Lu Chenhe said, "Then I'll ask someone to take you back, otherwise you won't be able to carry those things."
"Thank you, Master."
…
It was Guardian Geng who sent Ding Xiaodie back to the town.
How can this be tolerated?
The first time the villagers of Aozi Village saw Geng Huyuan, he came to take the village chief away. The second time they saw him, he drew a big knife from his waist and said that anyone who dared to grab the porridge without queuing up should not blame him for being blind with his knife.
The third time, he actually came to bring back the little girl Ding Xiaodie. Not only did he send her directly to the door, he also brought down two large baskets of things, which looked like vegetables and meat from a distance.
this……
The villagers of Aozi Village who heard the sound of horse hooves and ran out to watch the excitement were all petrified.
The clothes Xiaodie was wearing and the two baskets of food were really generous gifts in those days!
Some people also began to have evil thoughts. Ding Gui's family was small, but they needed so much food. Otherwise...
But the thought was suppressed as soon as it emerged. Don't even think about it, don't even dare to think about it. When Guard Geng left, he drew the knife that flashed with cold light again and said, "Our eldest master said that Miss Xiaodie is his friend. Anyone who dares to set his sights on his friend's family will be offending the Lu family."
Well, this big hat scared everyone and made them shrink their necks.
The villagers would rather starve to death than provoke the Lu family, so forget it!
Forget it, let’s go back to the house. Seeing but not being able to eat will only make your stomach suffer.
But just as the villagers of Aozi Village had returned to their homes and closed their doors, Wang Dafeng's loud voice echoed throughout the street: "Oh, a chicken! Kill it! Oh my god, bacon! Oh my god, I haven't had bacon in a long time! The soup tastes so good."
The whole village: "..."
At this moment, I really hate Wang Dafeng. Look how proud the old woman is.
Ding Gui, with a frown on his face, hurriedly pulled Wang Dafeng back into the house and closed the door. "Mom, are you crazy? Don't you know that wealth should not be exposed?"
Wang Dafeng raised her triangular eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? Those people's eyes are bigger than thieves'. Do you think they didn't see it? Oh, I just want to shout loudly to provoke them. Our Ding family has been bullied in the village for so many years, and today is the day to get revenge."
"Forget it, let the past be the past!"
How could Ding Gui not remember that the original owner's family was bullied by the villagers, but it is never good to be too ostentatious.
In TV dramas, people with a personality like Wang Dafeng probably wouldn't survive more than two episodes.
Zhang Xiudao ignored her and looked her up and down: "Are you okay?"
My daughter looks so beautiful in her new clothes. Her pretty face is made even more fair by the green color.
Ding Xiaodie turned around and said, "Mom, what do you think can happen to me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure rushed towards her.
"My precious daughter." Ding Gui picked up his daughter and kissed her on the forehead: "You praise my precious daughter so much."
Ding Xiaodie: “…”
Just as she was about to say something, Wang Dafeng rushed over and chided her, "Die darling, well done, you really made grandma proud. Today I finally vented my anger."
"Okay, okay, put me down!" Ding Xiaodie was almost suffocated. What was he kissing? She was already twenty years old!
Ding Gui had no choice but to put her on the ground and praised her clothes again: "Beautiful, really beautiful, my Baoer has been beautiful in both her past and present lives."
"Ah, mother, why are you hitting me?" Ding Gui was punched on the back just as he finished speaking.
Wang Dafeng glared at him with triangular eyes: "You are crazy, talking about past lives and present lives, how unlucky."
The three members of the Ding family: "..."
Forget it, let's take a look at what's in the basket.
The family of four immediately came to count what was in the basket.
A slaughtered chicken, a large piece of bacon, a pumpkin, countless eggplants and beans, and then the cabbage, which is harder to get than the stars in the sky. This thing cannot survive without water, but the Lu family actually has it.
And this time, he gave three big pills at once.
"What a great guy! I will kowtow to Master Lu when I see him next time." Wang Dafeng smiled so hard that her mouth never closed. Not to mention when they were fleeing from famine, even in normal times, her family had never been so extravagant!
