Fragrance Returned

Ding Xiang glanced at Zou Qing. He looks the most rugged and speaks the most pleasantly. He is still learning to have his breasts tied when he is just a few months old.

She smiled and praised herself and said, "Okay, I can not only perform knotting, but also do needlework. I must teach Sister Tian well."

The Qian brothers and Zou Qing were attracted by the leopard eagle playing with the dog again. Looking at the "dung bag" tied behind the tail of the leopard eagle, it is even more fun, coming out to play with the leopard eagle.

Nowadays, Feifei often gets along with people and is not as repulsive towards people as before. These people have a very good relationship with the little master. The little master will do whatever he wants, performing unique tricks such as taking off, landing, and holding a stick.

Uncle Lang and the three of them had lunch at Ding's house and had fun for a while before returning to the county town.

A big knife not only makes the relationship between the Ding family and the Qian family closer, but also makes them more equal. Before, the Ding family was extremely humble in front of the Qian family.

On the 28th noon of the twelfth lunar month, Ding Zhao and Ding Sifu came back from town together. The shop will be on holiday starting tomorrow, and Tailor Li has to go home for the New Year, so Ding Sifu has no choice but to go back to his own home.

Today, Ding Sifu is fair and chubby, with clear and bright eyes and a particularly cute smile.

He is the most beautiful boy in the Ding family, but unfortunately he is lame and short.

Seeing Ding Sifu like this, the villagers praised him without hesitation, and even praised Ding Zhao, "Shopkeeper Ding Renyi, this kid is much fatter. At first glance, he is better off than at his house."

Ding Xiang also smiled and said, "Brother Si Fu is getting more and more handsome as he grows older."

Ding Sifu blushed.

He took out three pairs of insoles from the small package, one pair each for Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao and Zhang. The insole is very plain and the stitching is not too symmetrical, but it is already very difficult for a boy over six years old.

He blushed and said, "I don't know how to embroider. I will learn to make more beautiful ones in the future."

He took out another oil paper bag, which was a bag of pine nut candies. He took out a few to give to the Yang Hu family, and gave the rest to the three Dingxiang brothers and sisters.

She gave it to Yang Hu's house because she helped him a lot.

Everyone in the Ding family smiled and thanked him, accepting his favor.

Ding Sifu would have dinner in the second room in the evening, and Ding Zhuang asked Ding Lichun to invite Ding Li, Ding Youcai, and Dingshan and his son over for drinks.

Ding Zhuang expressed his pity for Ding Sifu and offered to pay him 30 taels of silver to go to Jeju Prefecture in the city to have his leg treated.

Ding Xiang mentioned this matter, and Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao agreed after thinking about it. Thirty taels of silver is nothing to my current family, but it may change Ding Sifu's life.

Not only because I feel sorry for this nephew, but also because Ding Sifu is kind and remembers emotions clearly. If it were Ding Dafu and Ding Sanfu, no matter how much money they had, they would not be willing to help.

Ding Xiang felt that Grandpa Ding Zhuang had a reputation as a "evil man" for nothing, but he was actually soft-hearted and kind-hearted. Ding Li and Ding Youshou, on the other hand, seem to be honest and indifferent, respecting disciplines and obeying the law, but in fact they don't do any good things.

Ding Zhao has already asked the doctor at the county medical center, who said that Ding Sifu's left and right legs are already different in length. Even with treatment, it is impossible to completely stop lameness, and it can only be relatively better.

Since his family had no time, they asked Wang and Ding Erfu to accompany Ding Sifu to the provincial capital for medical treatment. Ding Zhuang has already taken a month's leave from Master Qian Erfu for Ding Erfu.

Ding Zhuang will give them another three dollars for living expenses and travel expenses.

He bulged his eyes and said, "This is the money I used to treat the four rich people. Don't save it and use it for other purposes. If you don't use it up, return it to me. If you dare to use it elsewhere, see how I deal with you."

He believed in Wang's love for his son and Ding Erfu's character, but he was afraid that Ding Li and Ding Youcai might have other ideas.

Ding Li really has some ideas. It is impossible to completely eliminate lameness even if it is cured. It is better to use it to buy a few acres of land for the family, which can be regarded as adding wealth to the family.

After listening to Ding Zhuang's words, I didn't dare to have those thoughts again. He smiled and said, "Brother thanks the second brother. The fourth rich man is blessed and has the favor of the second brother."

Ding Sifu knelt down again and kowtowed to Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao, choking with sobs and saying, "I will keep this love between my second grandfather and my second uncle in my heart forever."

He also knew that Ding Xiang's help was indispensable for him to receive their special love and care. I won’t say these words in public, just keep them in mind.

After the meal, Ding Li and others went home happily with thirty taels of silver and three strings of silver.

When Wang heard about it, she cried with joy. Her fourth son's lameness was a permanent pain in her heart, and it would be great if she could treat it as much as possible.

Ding Sanfu said, "The fourth rich man still owes me money for his wife. I will deduct this money first and use the rest to treat his illness."

Ding Dafu, who rarely spoke, also spoke, "Everyone knows that the disease of the fourth rich man cannot be cured, so why waste money. Our family is so poor, why not buy three acres of land with twenty taels of silver, and give the remaining money to the third brother and the fourth brother?" My brother said that I should have a daughter-in-law."

Ding Erfu said solemnly, "If you have the ability, you can earn money to buy land by yourself. Our family didn't pay for the medical treatment of our fourth brother. Second Grandpa couldn't bear it and gave us money. You still have the nerve to ignore it. If Second Grandpa knew what you were thinking, Not a penny will be paid.”

Ding Youcai also scolded, "You dare not even touch my second uncle's money. You don't want to live anymore." He then said to Mrs. Wang, "The three of you will leave on the sixth day of the lunar month and rent a donkey cart. Eat and drink more sparingly. There’s so much money to spend.”

Wang asked Ding Sifu again, "It's the Chinese New Year, but the shop hasn't paid any money?"

Ding Sifu murmured, "I made fifty cents. My second grandfather, my second uncle, and Xiangxiang helped me a lot. I bought candies and gave them to Xiangxiang."

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she poked him in the forehead, "They have a lot of good candies, but they still care about the broken candies you bought."

Ding Erfu shouted, "Mom, fourth brother did the right thing. What they have is theirs, and what we remember is ours."

He felt that this fourth brother was sometimes too smart and sometimes too honest, so why should he tell the truth?

The escort agency also gave him 300 Wen as New Year's money. He secretly spent 200 Wen to buy a bottle of wine for Ding Zhuang. When he got home, he told Mr. Wang that he only received 100 Wen.

He was also angry with his grandfather and parents. The second grandfather's family had helped him so much, but they just accepted it without any expression. His two hundred cents may be the biggest gift they have given to their second wife in so many years.

Now it is rare for Ding Erfu to go home and see the world outside again. He is the tallest and strongest. Several elders and other rich people are afraid of him and dare not speak anymore.

Ding Sifu told the truth after careful consideration. Even if he is beaten or scolded, he still wants to let his elders know that he remembers his second grandfather's family, not that he deserves all the benefits.

On New Year's Eve, Ding Zhuang and his children and grandchildren gathered together with the descendants of the first and third families to worship their ancestors at their ancestral graves. Except for the woman who was cooking at home, Ding Qin's body couldn't bear the mountain wind, so everyone else went.

The strong wind roared with the flying snow, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

Lilac was wearing a scarf and a scarf, and the cotton cloth covered her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Ding Zhao was reluctant to let Ding Xiang walk on the mountain road, so he wrapped her up in his own big cotton-padded jacket and carried her away. Ding Lichun saw it and took his sister from his father's hand.
