Chapter 53 My Family Has a Lucky Baby
Lu Xingluo said with a delighted look on her face, "Xiaodie, you don't have to be so modest. This grandmother is right. You are so brave at such a young age. It's truly rare."
"That's right, Xiaodie deserves the reward she deserves." A clear voice sounded. Lu Chenhe was tall and graceful, wearing a crescent-white robe, with black hair tied in a bun, and a face with starry eyes and white teeth.
He just walked over with a smile on his face.
"Young Master." Ding Xiaodie called out quickly.
Oh my goodness, why are all the children in the Lu family so good-looking?
Wang Dafeng couldn’t see clearly before because of his old eyesight, but now he could see it clearly right in front of him and was stunned with surprise.
Lu Chenhe raised his hand and rubbed Ding Xiaodie's head: "Tell me, what do you want? I'll make the decision on behalf of your father. As long as the Lu family has it, I can give it to you."
Ding Xiaodie was a little upset. It was pitiful for her, a twenty-year-old soul, who now had to compete for the favor of several young hunks who were younger than her.
Seeing her cute little face, the two Lu brothers couldn't help but look at each other with pity.
The little girl didn't expect that she could win a reward, so she was scared!
Lu Chenhe said nothing more, just waved his hand, and several servants carried the food that was allocated to Ding Xiaodie's family to her home. During this time, he leaned over and whispered in Ding Xiaodie's ear, "There are so many people here today, and I'm afraid someone will get jealous if I give too much. I'll bring it back to you after you finish eating."
"Uh, thank you, young master." Ding Xiaodie was a little confused.
Zhang Xiu and Ding Gui were standing by and watching in amazement. Isn’t this the legendary domineering CEO style?
Oh my god!
What should they do? The sons-in-law they chose are all so excellent that the couple are secretly happy but also a little worried!
After appreciating the things, Lu Chenhe and Lu Xingluo had other things to do, so they made an appointment with Ding Xiaodie to visit her another day, and then continued to work.
On this side, Wang Dafeng had already turned his head and went into the house.
Tsk tsk tsk, the old woman's eyes widened. How could it be otherwise? When she was a child, someone told her that she was a blessed person? She didn't expect that when she was very old, this belated blessing would really appear.
If either of the two young masters of the Lu family becomes the son-in-law of the Ding family, they won’t have to worry about their future.
At the same time, Wang Dafeng was secretly thinking about her previous plan. In fact, when she was fleeing the famine, she had thought about selling Ding Xiaodie to supplement the family income in order to survive when she had the chance to meet a good family.
Now it seems... she can't be sold at all. This skinny little girl is actually a lucky doll. The food and drink of the whole family depends on her!
Fortunately, Wang Dafeng did not reveal this idea, otherwise Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu would have abandoned her.
In short, the sky is clearing up after the rain, and everything is going great.
The food that Lu Chenhe rewarded looked similar to that of other people's families. When the washing cloth covering the bamboo basket was lifted, one could see eight large and small bowls of fish, meat, rice, vegetables, several boiled eggs, and even a pot of wine.
Ah this?
Compared to Wang Dafeng's boundless excitement, Ding Xiaodie frowned.
Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu knew their daughter best. This child had always been full of sense of justice in her previous life. Now that she saw this special treatment, she naturally felt a little guilty.
"Bao'er, it's really okay. Look, among all the men we went out with, not one could capture five Desert Soldiers by himself, and you and your mother, two women, have captured so many. Not to mention in Yangliu Town, even in the entire Qi and Yan Kingdoms, there's no one else like you."
Ding Gui hurriedly comforted his daughter. In fact, he felt a little guilty, but when he looked at the body of the original owner of his daughter-in-law, she was so skinny that she could be blown down by a gust of wind, especially his daughter, who was in the growing period.
The girl is obviously twelve years old, but she looks like a child of seven or eight years old. This is not a good way to go.
"That……"
Seeing that the whole family was waiting for her to speak, Ding Xiaodie's mouth twitched: "How about dividing those eggs? If grandma wants to eat one, keep one for the old man, and send the rest to Uncle Dayou's house. He has many children..."
"You have to keep one too." Zhang Xiu's voice choked: "Your father and I can choose not to eat it, but it's a good thing for the child to eat the egg. Otherwise, no one is allowed to give it to others."
Sometimes selfishness is based on a certain helplessness. Zhang Xiu has no choice. Is it wrong to feel sorry for her daughter?
Ding Xiaodie had no choice but to comfort her mother: "Okay, Mom, then we'll keep four. One for each of us four, and there will be six left. Dad, you go and send them after dinner, quietly. The eldest master said he was afraid of jealousy, and it's true."
"Okay, don't worry!"
Ding Gui nodded.
Wang Dafeng immediately felt relieved and rushed over to kiss Xiaodie fiercely on the forehead: "My dear Xiaodie, why do you cherish me so much?"
Ding Xiaodie pushed her face desperately: "Grandma, don't... don't..."
The family finally had a happy and satisfying meal. They covered the leftovers and put them in the cupboard to eat tomorrow. As for the black truffles that Xiaodie and her mother had found in the mountains, as long as they were not exposed to water and not gnawed by mice, they could be stored for seven or eight days without any problem thanks to the layer of mud covering them.
Ding Gui put all the black truffles in the center of the millstone and pressed a stone slab on top of it to see which mouse could steal them.
Then he went out with the eggs in his pocket.
I went to the village chief’s house first. I originally wanted to give one, but then I thought about it and gave two.
The village chief stuffed the food back and forth with him and asked him to take it back to Xiaodie to eat. Xiaodie made a great contribution this time.
Ding Gui smiled innocently: "Xiao Die has it too. She is always thinking about the ancestor!"
After saying that, he put the eggs down and left, leaving Lai Fu and his family sighing.
"I was really wrong. I didn't know Ding Gui and his wife were so affectionate and loyal. When we were in the village, Ding Gui couldn't even get a fart out of him with three punches, and Zhang Xiu was the timid type. Even though she's been married to Aozigou for so many years, isn't it strange? Think about it... I haven't had much contact with her in all these years."
Listening to his wife's sigh, Lai Fu sighed: "Now you know what it means to be a fool's errand. Ding Gui and his family of three are currently the most righteous people in the village!"
Dabao and Erbao sat aside eating steamed buns and listened attentively to their parents' conversation.
The old ancestor was reluctant to eat the meal alone, so he broke an egg and forced his two great-grandsons to eat it too. Dabao and Erbao would never take theirs and refused them no matter what. After a while of pushing it away, Lai Fu finally let the old ancestor eat it.
Young people are strong and healthy, and they will have plenty of opportunities to eat eggs in the future. But the old ancestor is over ninety years old. Who would have the nerve to snatch eggs from her?
The two little eggs brought the whole family closer together. Seeing that his two sons were so sensible, Lai Fu, who was smoking a pipe, raised his eyebrows and was very happy.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of something: "Dabao and Erbao are already seventeen years old. It's time to arrange a marriage for them!"
