Chapter 55: I'm in Love
Dingxiang had just finished eating the eggs, and Erbao, worried about them, ran back to look for them: "We're not familiar with this place, don't get lost!"
As this guy spoke, he turned around and wanted to hug one person at each side.
"No, Brother Erbao, I can walk by myself." Ding Xiaodie frowned. Because she was so thin, people always forgot her age.
Erbao didn't realize she was shy, so he said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Come up here quickly."
He bent down and motioned Ding Xiaodie to climb onto his back, holding Ding Xiang in his arms.
Dingxiang is also nine years old, but this poor little girl looks even thinner and weaker.
"Brother Erbao, you carry Dingxiang on your back. I'll follow you."
Although Erbao had good intentions, Ding Xiaodie still couldn't bear it. The two of them looked pitiful. In fact, Erbao was only seventeen years old. In such a hot day, he was still a child and it was not easy for him.
But after she finished speaking, Erbao pulled her over and put her on his back, then carried her on his back and left!
This touched Ding Xiaodie's heart.
After arriving at the fields, the children sat on the ridges of the fields and played. Led by the village chief, the elders, led by Geng Huyuan, divided the land among the families one by one.
It has been a long time since I saw so many lush green leaves. Everyone present had an expression of emotion and excitement on their faces.
Ding Xiaodie observed carefully and found that although these sweet potatoes encountered drought, their leaves were still green, which shows that this food is very drought-resistant.
"Guardian Geng, Master Lu's family is wealthy, so why do they grow so many sweet potatoes? These are coarse grains, which wealthy families generally don't eat!"
Although Lai Fu's long-pressed mood finally relaxed after seeing such a large expanse of green, he was still a little confused.
It would be fine if they only planted one or two plots of land, but planting so many seemed to be inconsistent with the Lu family's status and position.
Guardian Geng did not hide the fact: "Originally, these sweet potatoes were planted for a merchant from the south. He said that people in that area like to use sweet potatoes to make desserts, and almost every household likes to eat them. Unfortunately, he does not have enough land to plant them.
Our master was a friend of his, so he agreed to grow some and sell them to him at a low price. But then this natural disaster hit. My master said sweet potatoes are the most drought-resistant and might one day save lives, so he kept them.
After listening to what Guardian Geng said, everyone was filled with emotion.
"Mr. Lu is such a good man!"
"It's no exaggeration to say that Mr. Lu is the reincarnation of a living Buddha."
"That's right."
Ding Xiaodie also admires Mr. Lu Yan very much. He is not only responsible but also visionary.
Just as she was pinching a sweet potato leaf and thinking, Ding Xue and Ding Mei actually sat down next to her, one on each side.
“…”
What is going on?
Ding Xiaodie looked up at her two cousins. In her impression, they had never given her a good face, but now they were grinning at her, which was quite scary.
"Xiaodie."
"Xiaodie!"
"Uh, my two cousins, if you have something to say, just say it." It was really creepy to hear these two calls.
"Well, I want to ask you something." Ding Xueshou spoke first, smoothing her hair. "Last night, the two young masters of the Lu family came to talk to you. Are you familiar with them?"
"Yes, are you very familiar with them?" Ding Mei was a little impatient.
"Familiar..." Ding Xiaodie's face showed a cute expression. After seeing her two cousins immediately show excitement, she added: "Not that familiar."
"What? You only said half of the sentence." Ding Xue's face immediately fell.
Ding Mei gave her a hateful look.
Ding Xiaodie pretended to be innocent. Did she really think she was a little kid?
When the two women asked about the two young masters of the Lu family, their eyes sparkled and their faces were flushed. What kind of tricks were they thinking that could fool a 20-year-old female detective?
It’s just that I’m attracted by the handsome two young masters of the Lu family!
"Sister, I told you, Ding Xiaodie is just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse. What kind of person is the young master of the Lu family? How could he know her?" Ding Mei was the first one who couldn't hold it in anymore. When she saw the two young masters of the Lu family last night, her little heart almost jumped out of her mouth.
I originally thought that the most handsome men in the world were Dabao and Erbao, but who would have thought that there would be such a unique one.
Ding Xue pouted. She was equally disappointed, but she still asked unwillingly, "Xiao Die, tell me, why did the Lu family's eldest and second young masters speak to you first? After the eldest young master finished speaking, his servants even brought things to your house. Isn't it agreed that everyone should queue up? Why does your family get special treatment?"
"The eldest and second young masters spoke to me to praise my cooperation with mother in catching those thieves. You sisters naturally saw it clearly. As for why they sent gifts to my house, it was because they were rewards for catching the thieves. By the way, if you two sisters feel jealous, you can also go and catch some thieves. Then the two young masters of the Lu family will naturally praise you."
Ding Xiaodie tilted her head and looked at me as if to say, "Sister, I have thought very carefully about you."
Ding Xue and Ding Mei were so angry that they were speechless.
How could the two of them be capable of catching the thief?
But if he said this to Ding Xiaodie, who was much younger than him, wouldn't that be like slapping himself in the face?
For a moment, both of their faces flushed red, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, cheers suddenly came from the front. It turned out that the villagers who were allocated land had already dug up sweet potatoes.
This is a treasure for those who are fleeing famine. They are so happy that they jump and shout. The sweet potato leaves can be taken home to make soup, and the sweet potatoes can be preserved for a long time and eaten slowly. With these, the elderly and children in the family will not have to go hungry for a long time, and they will no longer have to gnaw on tree bark and eat leaves, or dig up Guanyin soil to eat.
Everyone was laughing and shouting, celebrating loudly, but as they laughed, tears started to fall, and the grown men were howling like children.
It’s not easy!
Ding Xiaodie ignored her two cousins and quickly ran to her father and gave him a big hug.
"Wow, Baoer, luckily we still have a second chance to live, but these days are really... really..." Ding Gui felt very miserable. On the one hand, he felt sorry for his wife and children suffering, and on the other hand, he also had to adapt to life in ancient times.
There is no hot shower, no electricity, no cigarettes, no wine, no internet and no TV. Who can he tell about the frustration and discomfort in his heart?
I can only talk to my daughter and daughter-in-law!
Ding Xiaodie quickly pushed him away when she heard something was wrong: "Dad, let's hurry up and dig some sweet potatoes! It's getting late!"
"Yes, yes, dig sweet potatoes, dig sweet potatoes." Ding Gui didn't realize at all that he almost let the cat out of the bag just now. He was speaking from his heart. He wiped his tears and started to use the hoe, but this was not his strong point.
In his previous life, he was very successful in business, so he had no idea where to find land to farm. But now, he was not comfortable using the hoe at all, and it took him a while to get used to it before he could dig.
