Fragrance Returned

After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Ms. Zhao lowered her head with guilt. After five years of marriage, she had not given birth to a son.

Ding Xiang wanted to say that the most terrifying person was Hao. Dingxia's badness lies in the open, while Hao's is wilted and bad.

As for the Wang family, they are people who want to take advantage of each other but don't have much scheming. They are annoying, but they can't do anything serious or evil.

Without the bad guy, and nestled in her grandfather's warm and thick arms, the relieved Ding Xiang quickly fell asleep.

A second before falling asleep, Ding Xiang remembered a poem from her previous life:

This place of peace of mind is my hometown.

Not only is that yard her home, but the embrace of her grandfather, father, and mother is also her home.

Ding Li took his whole family back home, and unexpectedly discovered that Ding Xia didn't have a bad face.

Ding Youcai handed the things to her and said, "This is a gift from my aunt."

Ding Xia looked at the gifts, and instead of being picky about this and that, she went to the kitchen with the pork and steamed buns.

"My wife came over and rubbed coarse salt on the meat to dry it."

Hao followed to the kitchen.

Ding Xia asked in a low voice, "Have you given that girl an injection?"

Mr. Hao muttered, "There was no chance to make a move. First, my second uncle held me, and then Mr. Zhao carried me on my back."

Mrs. Wang quietly followed in, curled her lips and said, "Dingxiang is still sleeping in the back room."

Hao quickly explained, "She wasn't asleep. She cried as soon as I entered. Mrs. Zhao came over and carried her away."

Ding Xia scolded, "Useless thing, you must have woken her up. Oops, my second son is unlucky. Why did he marry you, a hen that can't lay eggs? He can't give birth to a son. He can't do anything small." It can’t be done…”

Mr. Hao glanced at Mr. Wang resentfully and lowered his eyelids.

When Ding Zhuang returned home after dinner, he could hear the howling of the young eagle before he even entered the main room.

When it got angry, it was not "cuckoo", but "quack".

The moment it saw Lilac, the hawk's chirping turned into "Cuckoo" again.

Ding Xiang and the young eagle were already very familiar with each other, and the distance between one person and the eagle was shortened. Ding Xiang sat at the head of the kang, and the young eagle's basket was at the end of the kang.

Ding Zhuang saw that the young eagle looked at everything with indifferent eyes, except for the fragrance, which was warm and extremely gentle.

Seeing tenderness in the eagle's eyes, Ding Zhuang was puzzled and surprised, but he felt that he was not wrong.

The young eagle was attracted by Xiangxiang, so of course he would treat her well.

Ding Zhuang became more determined in his heart about the reincarnation of the "King of Flowers" who could not be described by outsiders. He thought of Ding Chi's words again, maybe that boy really knew how to read faces.

At noon on the sixth day of the lunar month, Ding Zhao and the others finally came back.

Ding Lichun and Ding Liren ran into the house in a gust of wind, reaching out to hug Dingxiang.

"I miss my sister so much."

Ding Zhuang held Ding Xiang's arm to avoid them, and threw out the other hand, "It's cold, get away."

The two brothers each received a slap on the head. They did not dare to reach out anymore and stood there flicking their tongues at their sister. Their eyes bulged, their mouths curled up, and their voices of "Deer, Deer" were extremely loud.

Her brother's stupidity made Lilac giggle and dance her hands and feet.

The house became lively again.

Ding Zhao warmed up, hugged Ding Xiang, kissed her, and showed Ding Zhuang the return gift from the Zhang family.

Two pieces of coarse cloth with cloves and cloves, one package each of dried fungus, dried mushrooms, and dried yellow flowers, and a pickled wild rabbit.

Ding Zhuang nodded and said, "The in-laws are interested. I can use that piece of blue cloth for other things. The fragrance will be enough for clothes."

Ding Zhao nodded. The Yue family was poor, so they woven the cloth themselves, which was rough and the color was wrong. Dad would definitely not be willing to make clothes for Xiangxiang using this kind of cloth.

After having enough intimacy with their sister, Ding Lichun and Ding Liren discovered that there was an extra eagle on the kang.

The two brothers were so curious that they would catch him when they climbed onto the kang.

Ding Zhuang shouted, "The little eagle's leg is broken, don't touch it."

The two brothers didn't dare to catch it anymore and just watched it carefully.

The young eagle gave them a cold look, turned its little head to the side, and continued to look at Lilac tenderly.

Ding Zhao was surprised and said, "It's a leopard eagle. Why did it come to our house?"

Ding Zhuang said vaguely, "Maybe it was attracted by the fragrance."

Half a month later, the eaglet's legs healed and it was able to fly around the house, and it became closer to Lilac.

Except for sleeping, the little thing almost always sits next to Lilac, with its little head pressed tightly against her armpit.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao discussed releasing it into the forest.

When Ding Xiang heard this, she pursed her lips and wanted to cry.

People want to adopt a little eagle.

Ding Lichun and Ding Liren also played with Xiaoying, but they both pouted and refused.

Ding Zhao said, "Its appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and it eats more and more meat. It can't eat pork yet, and our family can't afford to raise it. If it is hungry, it will eat domestic chickens and rabbits. If it is discovered by the neighbors, it will be caught. Sell ​​them for money or kill them directly."

Ding Liren said, "Let it go when it grows up."

Ding Zhuang said, "Bullshit. A leopard eagle will be useless if kept at home. Just like us, it must develop its skills from an early age. Fly in the sky and catch prey in the forest. Once you have the skills, you will not starve to death or be killed by others." wild animals to eat.”

When Ding Xiang thought about it, this was indeed the case. My family is poor, so keeping it at home will harm it. For its own good, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to give it up.

The next morning, just after dawn, Lilac woke up. Seeing that she was alone on the kang, she was about to scream when she saw the little eagle in the basket in the corner stretching its neck to look at her.

The little eagle cried "coo" and flew to Lilac's pillow.

Lilac sat up and held it in her arms.

The eaglet is going to be released this morning, and Lilac also wants to give it a ride. But she couldn't say it and had to get up early.

After breakfast, Ding Zhao held the little eagle in his hands and took Ding Lichun and Ding Liren to go out. Ding Xiang stretched out her arms and cried out.

When Xiaoying saw Dingxiang crying, she broke away from Ding Zhao's hand and flew into Dingxiang's arms.

Ding Zhao had no choice but to turn around and pick up Ding Xiang, and they went out together.

It was not yet bright, and there was a faint mist floating on the ground. The quiet village was shrouded in the morning light. Behind the village, Beifu Mountain was covered with clouds and fog, and the exposed peaks were still covered with white snow.

Several people walked towards the mountainside.

Walk through the village, walk through a forest and come to the foot of the mountain.

Ding Xiang raised her hands holding the little eagle.

The little eagle spread its wings and flew out, circled around, and flew into Lilac's arms.

It couldn't bear it.

Ding Zhao took a few children and walked a section of the mountain road, and the house was already at their feet. The view here is wide, the mountain breeze is strong, the vegetation is richer, and the ears are filled with the sound of gurgling streams and the sounds of various birds.

Several birds gathered over, but they didn't dare to get close.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the fiery red sun was hanging diagonally in the east. The sky was vast and distant, with white clouds floating in it.

Lilac lowered her head and kissed Xiaoying, then raised her hand.

The little eagle flew up, circled several times above their heads, spread its wings and flew into the distance.

It flew not very high, flying farther and farther, blending into the brilliant morning glow.

There were tears in Ding Xiang's eyes, and she muttered, "Turn, turn, turn, turn..."

She wanted to say "fly", but her tongue was not working well and the sound came out as "turning".

The person who understands her best is Mrs. Ding Liren.

He raised his head and asked, "Sister, do you want to fly? The little eagle flew away to practice his skills."

Ding Zhao said, "We should be happy for it. The sky is its home. I wish it can practice its skills well and live happily."

Ding Lichun said, "Look at how far it flies. My brother and I should be like it and practice our skills well."

Ding Liren nodded solemnly.

On the way back, the steps of several people became much brisker.
