Chapter 211 Farewell

Ding Shuniang looked at her elder brother who looked sad.

He is only three years older than his second brother, but he looks more than ten years older than his second brother. I have no future and no responsibility. I will do whatever I want in life. My mother is dead, everything depends on my daughter-in-law. His wife died, and he didn't know who to listen to, so he just didn't care.

Ding Shuniang said, "If you ask me, it doesn't matter if the girl is ugly, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't have a dowry. She must be able to be aggressive and able to stand up to your family. She must also be open-minded and not get into trouble, so that she will not be so angry that she hangs herself or goes to Kill someone. Don’t even think about finding such a good girl outside the mountains. It’s best to find it in the mountains or somewhere far away..."

Ding Youcai said, "Auntie, I'm asking you to help me with this matter. Wang is short-sighted. My father and I are old men and it's not easy to inquire about these things..."

Ding Shuniang said, "Then I will become a villain and find a wife for the rich according to my standards..."

Ding Xiang heard their conversation outside the window and felt that Ding Shuniang was really a good aunt who took care of her family. Ding Chi was raised by her, and she tried her best to help her family when they were in trouble. When her parents were poor, she often went to her parents' house to bring things. At this time, she was arguing with the Wang family to find a reliable daughter-in-law for her parents' family...

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Sun and Mu went to the military camp.

At the beginning of the morning, Ding Xiang took Hei Wa and Ling'er, who was carrying a basket of green onion biscuits, to see them off.

It's not bright yet, the rising sun has just climbed onto the roof, and the faint morning light envelopes everything. There were no pedestrians on the road, and Brother Hong's figure swayed in the distance.

Haven't seen him for many days.

Ding Xiang secretly cursed Ding Youshou for his wickedness.

Her good friends and little brother are not here during this period, and Sun Yumu is leaving again today. It's so boring.

When I arrived at Tao's house, the door was open, and there was a carriage parked in the outer courtyard, and four strong men on horseback.

Entering the hanging flower door, the old lady was holding Sun Yumu to talk.

Sun Yumu was wearing an azure brocade cotton robe, a fox fur hat, and a long sword on his waist.

He didn't see Feifei and said regretfully, "Feifei hasn't come back yet?"

Ding Xiang shook her head, "I have to wait until Brother Sun comes back to see it next time. Brother Sun cherishes it all the way. I wish you all your wishes will come true and you will have a bright future."

Sun Yumu nodded, "I also wish the little girl success in her studies and success in her studies. Well, please stay with my grandma when I'm not here."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands.

Ding Xiang said, "Brother Sun, don't worry, I will honor my master and my wife."

Then she looked at him eagerly.

Sun Yumu knew her little thoughts and said, "Keep your word, I will make progress together with your elder brother. I also told Aunt Lu that if the family buys beef, let her bring more for Feifei to eat."

Mrs. Tao's eyes were red and she said reluctantly, "If you really can't bear the hardship, come back."

Tao Weng disagreed and said, "If you can't bear the hardship, why come back? It's embarrassing."

The old lady said angrily, "Aren't you forcing your grandson to die? If I don't want to be a soldier, I will study with you and take the imperial examination."

What the old lady said was angry.

She also knew that Su Tu, an old man, was now deeply trusted by the emperor. He was Doctor Guanglu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, and a bachelor of Zhongji Palace. If his grandson becomes a civil servant, he will be hard to control.

But her grandson had never endured hardship and joined the army before he was fourteen years old, and she was reluctant to let him go.

Wouldn't it be okay to study with the old man here for two years and then join the army?

Sun Yumu supported the old lady and said, "Grandma is right, I can't even endure that kind of hardship, so why am I still alive? Don't worry, grandma, I can persevere no matter how hard or tired I am."

He knelt down and kowtowed to the old couple, then went to the front yard and got on the carriage.

Originally, he wanted to ride a horse, but the old lady refused to agree, saying that it was too cold and she was afraid of freezing him.

Everyone sent them outside the gate, and Mrs. Tao cried very sadly.

Tao Weng advised, "You are so close. He will come back to see you in a few months and cry very much."

The house suddenly became quiet. Not to mention the old couple, even Ding Xiang was not used to it.

Ding Xiang stayed at Tao's house until dinner before going home.

The next day, the old lady didn't feel well, so Uncle Lu went to the county town to ask for a doctor.

Ding Xiang comes to Tao's house every day to attend to his illness. When the old lady woke up, she would talk to him by the bedside and hand him soup, medicine and food. When the old lady fell asleep, she would go to the study to read or study painting with Tao Weng.

The old lady felt better after seven or eight days.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Feifei came back.

Ding Xiang flicked it and lost his mind, "Why are you back? Brother Sun wanted to see you before he left, but he didn't even see you."

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Ding Liren and Ding Lilai returned from Jiaozhou.

Ding Lichun, the three members of the Zhu family, and Qin Hai all brought gifts and letters to Ding Xiang. Sun Yumu brought gifts and letters to Tao Weng and his wife, and even brought a small conch ornament to Lilac. Although it was played to coax children, Lilac still liked it very much.

Sun Yumu was assigned to Zhu Qian's staff and his true identity was not revealed to the outside world. I also went to Dingzhai with Zhu Zhan, Sun Yuhao, Qian Lei and others...

Ding Liren said, "The fairy shell is still alive. No wonder it's called the fairy shell. It's so beautiful and rare."

Ding Lilai added, "After Mr. Sun went to Jiaozhou, although he still looked like a cowhide, he was much better than here. When he went to our house to play, he ate from our bowl. It's not like he couldn't use other people's bowls. Eat out of the bowl, as if you love to keep it clean."

The young boy had many opinions about Sun and Mu.

Ding Liren smiled and said, "This means singing which song on which hilltop. People have to bow their heads under the low eaves. Here he can be particular because he is Tao Weng's grandson. In the army, he cannot be particular, otherwise he will not be able to stay. "

Ding Liren threw himself into intense studies as soon as he came back, and Ding Zhao took him to the county seat to register.

He is going to die this spring. Mr. Li and Ding Zhuang and his son do not expect him to go to high school this year, but they just want him to gain experience.

Yuan Xia also wanted to be Ding Liren's guarantor, but Ding Zhuang refused.

Occasionally Ding Xiang would take him to ask Tao Weng for advice.

Ding Zhen came back at the end of the first year.

The little girl is much more stable than before and does not dare to go to Brother Hong to buy lanterns again. She rarely goes out of the house, and most of the time Ding Xiang goes to her house to play with her.

She was very angry and aggrieved, "Every time I talk to Brother Hong, Sister Xiang is there. I just like the lanterns he made, and I have no other intentions. Ding Youshou is so bad, why doesn't Uncle Hong beat him to death?" "

Ding Xiang echoed, "I also wish Uncle Hong would beat him to death."

Although the Hong family and his son hated Ding Youshou extremely, that yard was the best place to take care of the Ding family, so they continued to rent it there.

Xia Sanfen is engaged. She lives in a neighboring town. She runs an oil shop and has hundreds of acres of land. When she turns fifteen the year after tomorrow, she will marry him. It is said that the young man is handsome and has been studying for two years.

The Xia family and Xia Sanfen were very satisfied with this marriage.

That family was interested in Xia Sanfen, not only because they were interested in this person, but also because the Xia family was an in-law of the Ding family. Nowadays, Ding Zhuang and his son are considered celebrities in a hundred miles around, and more people want to marry Ding Lichun and Ding Liren.
