Chapter 66 Going to the Provincial Capital
Wang Dafeng used to be unmoved, but when Ding Xiaodie spoke, she would inexplicably accept the little girl's advice.
It was the same now. He could only wave his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's move all the mouths and other things upstairs to prevent that thief from coming again."
"No need, I'll just sleep in the kitchen and keep watch. You guys can sleep peacefully." Ding Gui knew how troublesome it was to move these things up and down.
"Okay, let's go to sleep!" Wang Dafeng didn't say much. As long as someone was watching over her, she turned around and went upstairs with the dog-beating stick.
"Dad, who is the other person?"
Ding Xiaodie asked in a low voice when only the family of three was there.
Miao Ba was one of them and he definitely couldn't escape. They all saw his reaction at that time, but there were two people who came to the house tonight.
Ding Gui was also confused. He could only shake his head. "I can't say who it was. The others' hands were uninjured, and those young men were all of similar build. But one thing we must remember is that the person who came in must be from the Miao family. We must be more careful with these Miao people in the future."
Zhang Xiu felt uneasy: "I think Miao Daxing is deliberately looking for trouble. He must have some ulterior motive."
"Do you remember? When he was in the village, Miao Daxing always used to bring up two surnames. According to him, the main surname in Aozi Village used to be Miao, but now there are more and more people with the surname Ding, and someone with the surname Ding was even made village chief, so he was not convinced."
After Ding Xiaodie finished speaking, she looked at her parents' surprised expressions and explained, "Those people in the Miao family thought the original owner was just a child, who didn't understand anything even if she was playing nearby. Who would have thought she listened to every word!"
Ding Gui frowned and said, "If that's the case, then Miao Daxing is probably up to something."
Zhang Xiu said, "In short, we have to be careful. If we offend Young Master Miao tonight, he will definitely target us."
While the family of three was talking, Wang Dafeng stood quietly at the stairs and eavesdropped.
The old woman was very smart. She realized that Ding Gui and the others seemed to be hiding something from her, so she came to eavesdrop. Sure enough, she heard that the thief was a member of the Miao family, and she also heard Miao Daxing's intentions.
But who is the original pig that Xiaodie is talking about?
She was puzzled, but fortunately, this was the only thing they hid from her, so the old woman was relieved. She turned around quietly and went back to the house to sleep!
The considerations of the three members of the Ding family are not redundant.
After everyone dispersed, Miao Daxing called his brothers together and said angrily, "Who the hell does Ding Gui think he is? How dare he come to recognize us when we are all together as Miao people?"
Miao Ba said with some fear: "He almost recognized me!"
"So what if he recognized me? Would he dare to point it out?" Miao Wang raised his hand and rubbed his waist. He was the partner who went in with Miao Ba to steal things. Now when he thought about the time he tripped and fell, he still felt a dull pain in his waist.
I was so unlucky. I didn't step on anything when I went in, but I tripped when I came out.
Looking at the two of them, Miao Daxing's face was full of anger: "I asked you to go and do something and you couldn't do it. If you can bring something back, at least the elderly and children at home can satisfy their cravings.
The village chief, surnamed Ding, talks nicely about fairness and justice, but who told us that the Dings secretly went up the mountain to pick mushrooms? In the final analysis, it's because we have different surnames.
Speaking of this, Miao Wang said, "And picking lotus roots? Humph, they found so many without a word. Later, I took my wife to the lotus pond, but we searched for a long time and found nothing. They had dug up all the lotus roots!"
"You also know that it's called lotus root?" Miao Ba was very curious. He and Miao Wang grew up in the same village. There wasn't even a big pond in their village, so how could they have ever seen lotus root? He just didn't expect Miao Wang to know it.
Miao Wang said, "I've seen and eaten it before when I followed my father into the city. The candied lotus root is delicious."
Miao Wang's father was a peddler in his early years and had been to countless places. Sometimes when Miao Wang really missed his father, he would follow him around to sell goods.
Once in a while, I saw what lotus root looked like.
"Alright, alright, forget about food. You all know how we live half-starved every day. Remember, Ding Gui and his family are our enemies now. When we get the chance, we must seize it and get them."
When Miao Daxing's voice sounded, everyone nodded to show that they would listen to him.
As for what to do after getting it, they never thought about it at all.
…
The next morning.
The sunlight penetrates everything and shines over the town. The moment the sun rises, everything is immersed in warmth.
Ding Xiaodie, who had been unable to sleep in the first half of the night, felt a little sleepy in the second half. When her father woke her up, she stretched out her arms and said, "Dad, I have nothing to do anyway. It's hotter during the day than at night. Now is the best time to sleep in."
"Your timing is terrible! The second young master of the Lu family is here. Hurry up and get up. You should dress up even at such a young age. Didn't you say that everyone loves beauty? Now can you dress up a little? At least let the second young master see that we are not just eating and drinking for free, but actually doing some real work."
“…”
Ding Xiaodie thought to herself, this might not be just a so-called dressing up. Her father's actions actually more or less revealed the status of the two young masters of the Lu family in his heart.
After her father left, she sat in front of the small bronze mirror and combed her hair carefully. She also took out the light green skirt that Mrs. Lu had given her as a reward when she was at the Lu family.
This skirt makes her look more playful.
But the little hand holding the skirt finally put it back, and she went downstairs wearing the patched clothes.
"Young Master, Second Young Master."
Lu Chenhe and Lu Xingluo both came. The two young masters of the Lu family instantly became the most beautiful scenery on the street. All the aunts and uncles in the village ran out of their homes to watch.
Fortunately, they were both worldly-wise and did not think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, they were very generous.
Lu Xingluo smiled and said, "Xiaodie, my brother is here to say goodbye to you."
"Goodbye?" Ding Xiaodie raised her clear eyes and looked at Lu Chenhe in surprise: "Where are you going, young master?"
In these turbulent times, it is unknown how dangerous it is to leave Yangliu Town.
Lu Chenhe told the story slowly.
It turned out that it was not a good idea to keep those desert soldiers captured the night before yesterday in the Lu family. That night, Mr. Lu sent someone to deliver a letter to the provincial government, and now he has received a reply.
Please ask the Lu family to send someone to take these desert soldiers to the provincial government and let the provincial government handle everything.
"In other words, you want to escort those desert soldiers with Master Lu? How many other people are there?" After hearing this, Ding Xiaodie felt that this was too risky, but it seemed that Lu Chenhe was determined to go.
