Fragrance Returned

Lilac is more than five months old. Although she cannot see very far, she can clearly see things within two to three meters, and she also has three-dimensional and color vision.

Finally, from two dimensions back to three dimensions, from black and white back to color, the world in front of us returned to normal and became colorful.

Her athletic indicators also improved by leaps and bounds. Ding Xiang had never been a mother in her previous life and did not know the development of babies at each stage, but she felt that she must have developed faster than normal children. Because she not only waits for her body to develop on its own, but also exercises consciously.

Lying down and "beating Ding Zhuang's back" with both feet is what Ding Xiang must do every day now. Ding Zhuang was overjoyed. He felt that his granddaughter knew how to respect him when she was only half a year old, which was ten thousand times better than that brat Ding Chi.

She practiced speaking secretly when no one was around. But the tongue and throat are not fully developed yet, and the words spoken are unclear. Only "Dad" and "Mom" can be said more clearly.

Of course she couldn't talk now. She wants to be a smart genius, not an abnormal monster.

She also completely saw the faces of her family members.

Ding Zhao looks like a full-grown man, with a big round face, small eyes, a small upturned mouth, a round nose, tall, strong and black. Ding Lichun is the child version of his grandfather and father. Ding Liren looks like them, but his face is slightly whiter, his nose is slightly straighter, and he is more delicate.

The only difference between Ding Zhuang and his children and grandchildren is that his nose is extremely red, which is what was called rosacea in his previous life. Ding Zhao said that it was because he drank every day after Grandma An An passed away.

Zhang is also tall and strong, with rough and dark facial features. But he likes to laugh, has a gentle voice, and is approachable.

She was the only woman in the family, and she was as busy as a spinning top all day long, from the moment she opened her eyes in the morning until she rested in the evening. Not only do they have to cook, do laundry, feed the chickens, clean, tidy the vegetable patch, and do needlework, but they also have to take care of a baby, and they also have to find time to get married to earn some money.

When there was no one at home, Ding Xiang spent most of her time on Zhang's back.

She reminded Ding Xiang of a saying her grandmother loved to say in her previous life, "Nowadays, women have a better life, but they don't know how to cherish their blessings. In the past, women were miserable. As long as their eyes were open, the work in their hands would not stop..."

In her previous life, Ding Xiang didn't take these words seriously, and Mrs. Zhang was particularly distressed by this. I thought that when I grew up and made money, I would buy a servant.

The Ding family also has a good habit of brushing their teeth every day. This is a habit developed when Mr. Xue was here.

Lilac is very satisfied with this good habit.

Most people's teeth are yellow and smelly.

Ding Zhao said that when Mr. Xue was alive, Ding Zhuang did not even use foul language.

The Ding family courtyard is a courtyard with a tile roof and adobe walls. There is a bare apple tree in the front yard and a vegetable patch in the back yard.

Ding Zhuang lived in the main room, Ding Lichun and Ding Liren lived in the west room of the upper room, and the east wing housed Xue's memorial tablet. Ding Zhao and his wife lived in the east wing with Ding Xiang. The west wing was empty, and Ding Chi's family came back to live there.

After winter, in order to save firewood and keep warm, Ding Lichun and Ding Liren moved to the east room to sleep on the same kang as Ding Zhuang. That room also became a temporary living room, where they ate and played.

I heard that this courtyard is the second best in Beiquan Village. The Ding family's life is also easy. Others can't even guarantee food and clothing. His family has enough food and can eat meat every two or three days.

Dingxiang's food was even better. She drank goat's milk and cow's milk. If she couldn't buy milk, she would make thick rice soup and add sugar. Ding Zhuang said that when she gets older, he will give her steamed eggs with bone soup.

Child Ding Liren especially hopes that his sister will grow up quickly. My sister's appetite is so small that she can't finish all the delicious food, but he can always help her take a bite.

Ding Xiang also hopes that she will grow up quickly and realize her family's ideal of eating meat every day.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a cold wind blew, making the window paper rustle, and a few birdsong could be heard outside.

Lilac was wearing a floral cotton jacket and cotton trousers, a small round hat with lotus leaves on her head, and a diaper under her crotch, sitting on the warm kang.

Of course, what is warmer is my heart.

Although supplies were scarce in this era and she had limited mobility, she liked this home very much.

Ding Liren sat in front of Ding Xiang, holding a rattle and teasing Ding Xiang.

Lilac thought it was to amuse the children and relieve her own boredom. She shouted at the rattle in a very dignified manner and even reached out to catch it.

Xiao Zhengtai was even happier, feeling that she was attractive and liked her sister.

In Ding Xiang's view, Little Shota is indeed attractive. He is chubby, his mouth looks more upturned, and his eyes are smaller. When he smiles, his eyes are not even visible, and he is quite happy.

Mrs. Zhang came in with a bowl of goat milk.

The ewe bought at home gave birth last month, so there is no need to buy goat milk outside.

In order to remove the odor, almonds and cane sugar are added when boiling goat milk.

This family gave Ding Xiang the best they could give.

The sweet and greasy milky fragrance made Ding Liren swallow his saliva and begged, "Mother, grandpa is not here, give me a sip, just a small sip."

The last time he asked for goat milk, Ding Zhuang heard him, and Ding Zhuang scolded him for a long time with his eyes bulging.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and fed Ding Liren two mouthfuls of milk, and then Ding Xiang.

Ding Liren narrowed his eyes because of the fragrance, feeling that he had taken advantage of his sister, and smiled apologetically at her sister.

Ding Xiang drank a few mouthfuls of goat's milk, then pointed at Ding Liren, meaning to ask Zhang to feed him another mouthful.

The Ding family has all seen Ding Xiang's unusual intelligence. Mrs. Zhang smiled, lowered her head, kissed Ding Xiang, and fed Ding Liren half a spoonful.

Ding Liren pointed his mouth and drank half a spoonful of it.

Mrs. Zhang is such a good woman. Ding Zhuang was not an ordinary partialist, because Ding Xiang had beaten and scolded Ding Lichun and Ding Liren many times. Mrs. Zhang was distressed but did not blame the fake daughter for stealing the love of her own son.

She really regarded Ding Xiang as her own daughter.

It is said that the psychological shadow caused by the original family takes a lifetime to heal. She had only lived in this home for a few months, and her original rejection and distrust of blood relatives was gone. She bears their love and is willing to open her heart to love them and treat them as real relatives.

The only thing was that the faces of the princess and the other little brother were even more blurred. She thought it would be impossible to draw those two blurred faces when she could hold a pen.

Grandma Li's hateful face is still clear. Ding Xiang was afraid of forgetting, so she had to think about it several times a day. I also remember those key names...

Just after drinking the goat's milk, there was a bang on the courtyard door.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Your father and the others are back from the county seat."

Ding Liren slid off the kang and ran to open the door.

A few footsteps drifted in, and Ding Lichun said in a loud voice, "I bought a necklace and a silver lock for my sister at Fulai Silver Building, and also bought braised pig head meat."

Ding Zhuang paused for a moment before he restrained himself from going to his daughter-in-law's room to see his granddaughter. He said, "Bring Xiangxiang to the room."

Mrs. Zhang wrapped Dingxiang in a quilt, carried her and went to the landlord's house.

The kang in the east room is so big that it takes up half of the room.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhang lit up the kang, and everyone sat on the warm kang.

Thank you Song Amei for the reward, and thank you dear friends for your monthly votes and support. Readers reminded me that Ding An’s name was incorrect and was the same as his mother’s. Ding An was changed to Ding Chi, sorry.
