Fragrance Returned

The sun was about to set, and Lilac stood under the big tree by the door.

The two elder brothers came back first with two young boys.

They noticed that their sister was listless.

One said, "My sister seems to be suffering from heatstroke. Go to the backyard and rest, it's cooler there."

One said, "Drink a bowl of cool mung bean paste to cool down."

Ding Xiang shook her head, "I want to wait for daddy."

The two young boys asked Dalu Xiaolu to carry the book basket home, and then took out two big cattail fans.

They waited with their sister and kept fanning her with big cattail fans.

A mule cart was slowly approaching. Walking by the Huiye Pavilion, I saw that Ding Zhao was driving the carriage and Ding Zhuang was sitting behind.

Grandpa is back today too.

The three brothers and sisters came forward.

Ding Zhuang smiled and carried Ding Xiang into the car, and the two boys climbed in on their own.

Ding Zhuang noticed that his granddaughter was unhappy and snorted coldly, "Xiangxiang is not feeling well? Your mother, my daughter is not well, and she doesn't know how to keep you in the house and let you be exposed to the sun."

A stick hit Zhang.

Ding Xiang shook her head and said, "There's nothing wrong with me, I just had a nightmare."

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao were stunned when they heard she said they had a nightmare.

Ding Zhuang said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Back in the east courtyard, Ding Xiang told what she said to Zhang again.

"I want to go to Jiaodong to see my elder brother. I will bring more good medicine and our ginseng."

Through the improvement of cast iron technology, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao became more convinced of Ding Xiang's dream.

But Ding Zhuang thought it was An Antuo's dream, and Ding Zhao thought it was his mother and second aunt's dream.

When Ding Lichun is in danger, he must go to Jiaodong to see him.

Ding Zhao said, "Dad, you haven't finished your work yet. You stay and look after the house while Zhi Niang and I go to Jiaozhou."

There is always one person left at home.

Ding Zhuang nodded in agreement, "Okay, if the situation is not good at the beginning of spring, please send someone to send me a message quickly. Jiaodong is not short of medicine, just bring a piece of ginseng there, maybe it can extend your life. Then take the Ganoderma lucidum and give it to Sun grown ups."

Master Sun is a military commander and wants to give Ding Lichun generous gifts for his future. Although that Ganoderma lucidum is good, it is not as good as the stuff in Jitou Peak that makes people covet it.

As for other peaks, I will give you items from Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion. Now, Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion's items have become the best choice for people to give gifts. Not only are the products good, but they also have beautiful packaging.

The embroidery in the home's warehouse is all made by country women and is considered low-priced in Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion. When passing by the county town tomorrow, go to Zhixiu Pavilion to pick up some.

Ding Xiang said with tears in her eyes, "I also want to see big brother."

Ding Zhuang refused without thinking, "No, there's some sex outside."

Ding Xiang choked up and said, "When I'm riding in the family mule cart, I won't run around. I'll always hold daddy's hand. Paihuazi can't take it away from me."

"That's not OK."

Ding Zhao was also unwilling to take Ding Xiang with him. "The road is long, the car is hot, and we have to stay in an inn for three nights. Although the world is peaceful now, there is no guarantee that we will not encounter robbers."

Ding Xiang became stubborn and burst into tears, "I want to go, I want to go, woo woo woo..."

No matter how Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao reasoned, she just cried and left.

She was afraid that her eldest brother was seriously injured and had to go.

Mrs. Zhang came in and hugged her to persuade her, but Ding Xiang didn't listen. She cried so hard that she hiccupped, and her little face and nose turned red.

The fragrance in the air is getting stronger and stronger.

Ding Liren and Ding Li also wanted to go, but they didn't dare to cry like their sister. Instead, they stood here quietly, hoping that their sister would let them go together.

Ding Liren smelled the aroma in the room. He knew it was coming from his sister, but the elders didn't tell him, so he smartly didn't ask. It wouldn't be good for his sister if this matter spread.

Ding Lilai sniffed, thinking that his sister had lit an incense burner in her room. I will tell my sister in the future that this kind of fragrance smells good and buy more of this kind of fragrance tablets.

Ding Zhuang couldn't help it and compromised, "Okay, okay, go, go. If you go, I will go with you."

Ding Liren said, "Sir, I also want to see my eldest brother."

Ding Li came and said, "Take me with you too."

Ding Zhuang's anger had no place to vent, and one of them slapped his head and cursed, "Go away, if you stop being an eyesore here, let's see how I deal with you."

Ding Liren and Ding Lilai's eyes were red, and they looked at Ding Xiang pleadingly, hoping that their sister could put in a good word for them.

Ding Xiang pretended not to see what they meant and buried her head in the crook of Zhang's neck. She couldn't care about them anymore. It would be nice if she could go. If she made more demands, she would be afraid that her grandfather would change his mind.

The two young boys had no choice but to leave in anger.

Ding Zhuang asked Zhang to prepare the things to take away tomorrow, and asked Ding Zhao to go to Shitou and Mr. Wang's house after dinner to explain the affairs of the manufacturing company.

The external story is that Zhang was worried about Ding Lichun and decided to go to Jiaodong together.

Li Maigao came over and said, "Old shopkeeper, Mr. Hong came home and brought two loads of firewood. He said he would chop a lot today and give some to our family."

Ding Zhuang gave him a few coins and said, "It's not easy for them, so I gave him the money."

Li Maigao returned to the west courtyard and handed the money to Mr. Hong.

Hong Da thanked her and whispered, "I just heard your sister crying so hard. Xiangxiang usually looks gentle and sensible. What's wrong?"

Li Magao laughed and said, "No matter how sensible Sister Xiang is, she is still a child. She is acting like a spoiled child to the old shopkeeper. When she makes trouble, the old shopkeeper will agree to anything."

After saying that, he smiled fondly twice.

After dinner, several people gave Lilac the birthday gift they asked Zhang to buy.

Xiangxiang’s birthday will be celebrated in Jiaozhou Prefecture.

What Ding Zhuang gave was a jade pen holder, what Ding Zhao and his wife gave was a set of silk autumn clothes, four jade flowers, and a book of poems jointly given by Ding Liren and Ding Lilai.

Shopkeeper Gong and Ding Sifu also asked Mrs. Zhang to bring back birthday gifts. Shopkeeper Gong gave her a pair of small embroidered shoes made by herself, and Ding Sifu gave him a pair of pink velvet flowers made by himself.

Lilac expressed her gratitude.

Ding Xiang also wanted to tell Mr. Tao and the old lady in person that she could not accompany them during this period.

Ding Zhuang is going to Dingshan's house and asks Dingshan to help take care of the house.

The grandfather and grandson took Ling'er, Feifei and Heizi to Tao's house.

It was already dark, and Ding Zhuang sent them to the door of Tao's house. He also agreed that he would pick them up later.

When the old lady heard that Ding Xiang was going to Jiaozhou, she smiled and said, "What a coincidence, one of my grandson's cousins ​​is also there. He is a naval officer named Sun Linfeng. Let's bring some things there..."

Tao Weng said, "I have met Mr. Lu several times, so I will prepare a gift for him and write him a letter as well."

General Sun Shen is actually a relative of the Tao family!

This relationship made Ding Xiang's head turn. The old lady's grandson's cousin was the old lady's son-in-law's cousin. General Sun Shen's uncle is the Navy Commander. I don't know if her grandson is Commander Sun's grandson or grandnephew.

As for Mr. Lu, the Ding family had never thought of having such a big official relationship. Now that I have Tao Weng’s letters and gifts, I can go out and give a gift at home.
