Fragrance Returned

The setting sun has sunk into the top of the mountain, and there are still a few red clouds on the horizon. The twilight casts a layer of orange light on the earth.

There was the sound of dishes in the kitchen, the sound of Ding Liren reading in the upper room, the sound of Ding Lichun practicing martial arts from the backyard, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao talking with their voices open, the barking of Heizi, and the sounds of people outside the courtyard. A sound...

These voices are intertwined, and no one affects the other.

This is life in a small mountain village. It seems noisy, but in fact it is peaceful and leisurely.

Lilac especially likes this tranquility.

She sat on a small stool, her little body leaning in Ding Zhuang's arms, watching the last trace of red clouds disappear in the west, and countless small stars appeared in the sky.

The starry sky is extremely bright, covering the earth with a layer of clear light.

Suddenly, a big bird appeared in the horizon. The big bird flew closer and closer.

Ding Xiang had a longing in her heart and looked at it intently.

The big bird flew over her yard, swooped down, and landed in the yard. A few birds resting on the tree were startled and flew out, flying into the distance together with the neighbor's birds.

"Feifei, really Feifei."

Lilac yelled and ran over excitedly.

The big bird put down the object on its beak and shouted at Lilac, "Cuckoo..."

Ding Xiang hugged Feifei's neck and jumped up happily, "Feifei, I miss you so much."

Ding Lichun and Ding Liren heard the noise and ran over, touching Feifei and talking to it.

Although Feifei didn't flap away the four annoying hands with its big wings, he didn't even look at them. His eyes looked at Lilac tenderly from beginning to end.

Three people and one eagle were making a fuss when they heard Ding Zhao's scream.

"Red apple!"

Ding Xiang brother and sister looked up and saw Ding Zhao holding a big red apple in his hand.

Feifei opened his sharp mouth and screamed "Quack" at Ding Zhao, spread his big wings, and showed a fierce look, as if he wanted to eat people.

Ding Zhao understood and said with a smile, "This is what Feifei gave to Xiangxiang."

He handed the red apple to Lilac. The apple was too big for Lilac to hold with one hand, so he had to hold it with two hands.

The apple is not bright red, but has circles of red and a little cyan. There is a hole in it, which was pierced by Fei Fei's sharp mouth.

There are several hard barbs in the pointed mouth of the leopard eagle, which are not only weapons for biting enemies, but also helpful for holding things, and they will not fall off after holding them for a long time.

Ding Xiang's hair almost stood up in shock. This apple was exactly the same as the red apple in her dream.

She stuttered when she spoke, "Feifei, when did you peck this apple?"

Of course Feifei couldn't speak. It folded its wings and cooed at Lilac gently.

I mean, given to you.

Ding Zhuang also came over and knelt down to look at the red apples and said with a smile, "Feifei is so smart. He knew Xiangxiang liked red apples, so he picked them up."

Ding Zhao looked at it carefully and wondered, "Why is this apple so big?"

Mrs. Zhang was also surprised, "Yes, this is the first time I have seen such a big apple."

Ding Xiang's soul returned to its original position and she suppressed the doubts in her heart.

She handed the apple to Mrs. Zhang, then stretched out her arms to hug Feifei, letting Feifei's little head burrow under her arm.

Feifei likes her fragrance. The most fragrant place on her body is her armpits.

Feifei made a "coo" sound in his throat, feeling extremely satisfied being held by Lilac.

Zhang washed the red apple and, at Ding Xiang's insistence, divided the apple into several segments. Each person has one petal, and the clove petal is the largest.

The red apples were crisp, sweet and juicy, and tasted better than any apple I had ever tasted before.

Ding Zhao smiled and said, "This apple will taste better if it is ripe."

Lilac hurriedly said, "Plant apple seeds in a pot and grow an apple tree."

Ding Zhuang smiled and said, "You're the only one who can do it, little man. This apple isn't fully mature yet, and it's not easy to grow a sapling from its seeds."

If you don't say that, let's ask Zhang to soak the apple seeds and plant them in a broken earthen pot tomorrow.

Ding Zhao fed Feifei water, and then took off a small piece of lean meat hanging from the eaves to prepare meat porridge for Ding Xiang tomorrow and gave it to it to eat.

It's not good for an eagle to eat pork, but it's okay to eat it once in a while.

Ding Zhuang smiled and said, "Feifei loves Xiangxiang very much. He flies back every year to see it. This time he even gave me a gift. Tomorrow I will kill a chicken and give the meat to Feifei. I hope it can stay for two more days. Let's drink the bone stew. .”

Ding Lichun and Ding Liren jumped happily. They were both happy that Feifei could live at home, and they were also happy to have chicken soup tomorrow.

Ding Lichun took out a large basket and placed it on the eaves of the east wing. There was still hay in it.

This is Feifei's home.

Ding Xiang dragged the big basket into the east compartment, Feifei followed her.

Ding Zhao asked, "What does Xiangxiang want to do?"

"It's cold outside, let Feifei stay in the south room."

She had something to do at night.

Seeing Feifei's attachment and kindness to Ding Xiang, everyone acquiesced.

There were no lights in the south room, and the starlight came in from the window, making everyone feel comfortable together. It wasn't until Zhang asked Dingxiang to sleep that Dingxiang put Feifei into the basket.

Before going to bed, Ding Xiang said it was cold and she must ask Mrs. Zhang to close the small window tightly.

She lay face inward on the kang, her eyes widened, and she pinched herself when she felt sleepy.

can not sleep.

After waiting for a long time, Ding Zhao and Mrs. Zhang entered the room to rest.

They thought Ding Xiang was asleep and whispered, mainly talking about Ding Chi and Tang's family.

To this day, Ding Zhao is still lamenting the unexpected fortune that Ding Chi earned. If the Tang family doesn't stop it, they won't be able to keep the windfall even if they get it back...

Mrs. Zhang whispered, "My uncle is stingy. After earning so much money, he only honors his father-in-law 10 taels. I heard that he honored his aunt twenty taels and bought a gift of 20 taels for the Tang family."

Ding Zhao said, "He has grudges against dad and me, so didn't he buy a gold bracelet for Xiangxiang? No matter how much money he makes, it's all his and has nothing to do with us. As long as he can live a peaceful life and is not angry with dad... "

Zhang said, "He bought Xiangxiang a bracelet because Xiangxiang is blessed. Boss, is he really that accurate in fortune telling?"

"Maybe, I don't know..."

Finally, when Ding Zhao and Zhang heard light snoring, Ding Xiang quietly walked around them, climbed to the edge of the kang, and slid down to the ground.

She didn't dare to put on her shoes, so she opened the door gently and walked through the hall to the south room.

The room was hazy, and Feifei in the basket raised his little head and looked at Lilac, with surprise in his eyes.

Lilac closed the door tightly and stepped on the stool to open and close the window. Afraid of the fragrance coming out, and afraid of something getting in.

Ding Xiang found the thickest cotton-padded jacket from the cabinet, where all her winter clothes were placed.

After putting it on, I climbed up to the small couch and lay down. Then I looked at Feifei and patted the small couch, meaning to come up and sleep with me.

Feifei understood what she meant and came to lie down next to Dingxiang.

Lilac wants to sweat. She felt that the dream she had in the fragrance was very strange, whether it was a prediction or something.

She wanted to try it again.

Even if he didn't dream, it would still be a benefit to Feifei. Ask Feifei to visit the house often in the future, preferably staying for a few days. Train it again and let it understand what you mean.
