Chapter 99: Face kindness

Ding Zhuang pointed at Ding Xiang and said with a smile, "Master Sun, Qian Er is in charge, this is my little granddaughter Xiang Xiang."

Then he said to Ding Xiang, "Come and kowtow to the two masters."

Mr. Sun is in his thirties, tall, high-spirited, elegant and mighty. Qian Er is about forty years old, tall and dark, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The sleeves of his left arm are slightly long and his left hand cannot be seen.

Dingxiang knelt down and kowtowed to them, saying, "Xiangxiang has met Master Sun and Uncle Qian."

Now Ding Xiang has become accustomed to things like kneeling and kowtowing, without any resistance.

Mr. Sun was startled for a moment and then said with a smile, "The little girl Xueyu is cute, Mr. Ding, the shopkeeper, is lucky."

Ding Zhuang laughed twice. Ever since the incident at Jiaozipu, Ding Zhuang no longer dared to praise Ding Xiang, especially in front of unfamiliar people.

Mr. Sun said again, "Good boy, just call me Uncle Sun."

Ding Xiang changed her words and shouted, "Uncle Sun."

Mr. Sun smiled and said, "I came in a hurry. I don't have a suitable gift for the little girl. I will make up for it next time."

Just now he gave Ding Lichun a jade pendant as a meeting gift.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao hurriedly said, "Master Sun, I'm too polite. I don't dare."

Ding Lichun led Ding Sifu to pour tea. Dingxiang saw that they had something important to discuss and retreated.

The yard of the iron shop was dirty and noisy. After entertaining the distinguished guests, Ding Lichun took Ding Xiang to Ding Qin's shop.

On the way, Ding Xiang asked Ding Lichun, "Brother, who are those two young men?"

"The one with dark skin is the second brother Qian, my master's second son Qian Fei. The one with fair skin is the son of Mr. Sun's family, his name is Sun Yuhao."

Ding Qin's shop is not far from the iron shop, less than a hundred meters away. Ding Lichun handed Dingxiang to Ding Qin and ran back in a hurry.

The shop is very small, with two rooms at the front and back. The back room is a warehouse and the front is a shop. The cabinets and counter took up more than half of the room, with only enough space for one person to stand in the middle.

Ding Qin placed a small stool on the open space next to the counter and took a pack of preserved fruits for Ding Xiang to sit and eat.

He smiled and told her, "There are flower lovers here. Xiangxiang can't leave the shop and don't talk to strangers."

He was not afraid of his daughter running around the town, but he was afraid that something would happen to this precious egg.

Lilac agreed obediently, "Okay."

People were coming and going outside the shop, and almost everyone's eyes would stay on Lilac for a while.

The chubby little girl is extremely beautiful, with round eyes, a small pink mouth, and her little chubby fingers holding the fruit shop to her mouth, her little cheeks bulging from eating.

Someone actually came over to say hello, "Oh, who does this beautiful baby belong to?"

Ding Qin smiled and said, "She is my second uncle's little granddaughter."

When people heard that she was Ding Zhuang's granddaughter, they quickly stayed away. Ding Hongbi dared to chop off three of his fingers for this granddaughter. If he accidentally touched the child, he would be chopped into pieces by Ding Hongbi.

Not long after, Ding Liren passed by this place on his way to Tiepu after school.

When he saw Ding Xiang, he said happily, "Ah, why is my sister here?"

Dingxiang Nuonuo said, "Come to see grandpa. There are customers coming to the iron shop. Let me wait here."

Ding Liren waited with his sister.

At the end of the Shen Dynasty, several impressive people passed by on horseback, attracting the villagers to stop and look.

It was Mr. Sun and the others.

Ding Xiang stood up and smiled sweetly at them, "Uncle Sun, walk slowly, Uncle Qian, walk slowly."

Sun and Qian nodded and smiled at her.

Mr. Sun's eyes suddenly froze. No wonder he just thought this little girl was kind...

After walking out for a while, he smiled at Qian Dahu and said, "I didn't expect that the Ding family would produce such a talented little girl. Not only is she cute, but she also behaves calmly and calmly at such a young age. Not to mention Linshui County. In the entire Jiaodong Province, it is rare to find children with this level of talent."

Qian Dahu smiled and said, "They say that the child looks like her grandmother. Although old shopkeeper Ding looks shabby, his deceased wife was not from the country. She was the illegitimate daughter of Xue Pingfu, the richest man in Linshui County at the time. It is said that she was very beautiful.

"Brother Ding said more than once that he and his son look like the Ding family, but this daughter is the only one who resembles his mother. Boss Ding lost three of his fingers just to protect this little granddaughter..."

Mr. Sun didn't listen to what he said and asked instead, "Shopkeeper Ding's late wife was Xue Pingfu's illegitimate daughter?"

Mr. Qian gave a brief summary of the case of jumping into a river. He also heard about it, but he didn't know the details.

Ding Lichun came over to take the little brothers and sisters back to the iron shop.

Ding Zhuang was holding a few gems and thinking hard.

Ding Xiang guessed that those gems must be inlaid on the handle of the knife. Not only does the knife have to be sharp, it also has to be beautiful. She went back and drew a few pictures of knife handles for her grandfather to choose from. In her previous life, she had drawn many of those things. Beautiful swords were standard accessories for handsome men in ancient costumes and fairy worlds.

Ding Xiang pulled Ding Zhuang's pants and asked, "Grandpa, won't you go home tonight?"

Ding Zhuang said with a smile, "I won't go back. Mr. Sun is very satisfied with that kind of thing. Once it's done, I can make a lot of money, and your eldest brother's future will be better. Isn't Xiangxiang worried that he won't be able to open a shop because of the lack of money? Don't worry. , when I earn money, I give it to Qian Xiangxiang, and I can use it however I want."

Ding Xiang pursed her lips and said, "Grandpa promised me that after finishing something like this, I won't stop forging. It's hard work for me, and Xiangxiang is heartbroken after seeing it."

Ding Zhuang's heart was warmed. He wanted to touch his granddaughter's face but felt his hands were dirty. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "When my granddaughter's shop can make money, I can enjoy happiness."

Ding Xiang said seriously, "The shop will definitely make money." Then she nodded her nose and said, "Grandpa, you should drink less wine. Your nose is a little red again, and you are not so handsome anymore."

The grandparents and grandchildren were amused and laughed.

Ding Zhao took his three children home, but Ding Lichun was still carrying Ding Xiang.

The sun is setting in the west, and the sky is filled with red clouds. The crops in the fields have all been harvested, and the vast black soil is bare and shrouded in orange light. Light smoke floats over the villages in the distance, and the mountains are winding as far as the eye can see.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of several people, and Lilac's two calves swayed.

The father and son chatted softly, occasionally saying hello to passers-by.

Ding Xiang's heart was filled with warmth, as warm and soft as the flowing orange light.

The days in the country are peaceful and beautiful.

Ding Xiang wants to live like this forever.

But no. She always has to grow up and face all the people and things she doesn't want to face...

According to what Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun said, Mr. Sun was some kind of general in the Navy. He had a high official position and was a good friend of Qian Er when he was young. Mr. Sun admired Ding Lichun very much and asked him to practice martial arts well. If he is willing to take the martial arts examination, he will be the best. If he is not willing, he can enter the military camp. He will guarantee his future.

Ding Zhao told him, "Practice your martial arts well and ask Qian Fei for advice on strategies. I heard that he will take the martial arts examination next year..."

Hearing that her eldest brother's dream of being a general was expected to come true, Ding Xiang was so happy that she shrugged a few times.
