Fragrance Returned

Xia Yuanwai felt that he couldn't do it, but neither of his two sons could do it.

The eldest son Xia Jinzhong failed to pass the Tongsheng Examination after studying for more than ten years. Now he is in charge of the general affairs of the family.

The second son is a fool. He hardly goes out and spends money to marry a wife. He has not been able to give birth to any children for several years.

The eldest grandson, Xia Wenzhou, is twelve years old and studying in a private school in the county. His family spent a lot of money to train him, but he doesn't know how to study. The second grandson, Xia Wenguan, is ten years old and is a classmate of Ding Liren. He is ranked second in the private school in studies, but he is far behind Ding Liren, who is ranked first, but he is very pedantic.

Ding Xiang also had a feeling that Xia Wenguan paid special attention to her. He even ran to her a few times and said, Girls must be stable. How can they jump on their grandfather, father, and brother...

Ding Xiang secretly cursed, it's none of your business.

She rolled her eyes and walked away. Xia Wenguan stood there stupidly, angrily glaring at her from time to time.

Later, he came to her door and said some incomprehensible words several times, just to tell her to be steady, otherwise she would not be able to get married in the future.

Ding Xiang ignored him.

Ding Xiang still knew herself. No matter how beautiful and lovable she was, she was only a few years old. She didn't have the charm to make the opposite sex crazy, and she was still a ten-year-old child. I feel that that little brat is pedantic in nature and can’t stand me...

For more than an hour, Ding Sifu weaved a small net bag with red cotton thread. Ding Xiang generously gave it to him, Take it to carry some stuff.

Ding Sifu blushed and shook his head. How can you be so embarrassed to ask for other people's things when you learn a craft for nothing, or use other people's things to learn a craft?

Ding Xiang said, Because you behave well, I will reward you.

Ding Sifu smiled with his eyebrows creasing, Thank you Sister Xiang, can I give this little pocket to Brother Pan? She doesn't have anything new on her.

Ding Xiang especially liked to see his clear and happy eyes. This child is open-minded by nature, and everything that happens to him seems to be not unfortunate. He gets extremely excited when something happy happens.

Ding Xiang pinched his face like a little brother and said with a smile, It's yours to give it to you, use it as you like.

Ding Sifu stood up with joy. The lame boy ran very fast and disappeared outside the courtyard gate in the blink of an eye.

A young man's voice came from outside the hospital, Little cripple, are you running so fast to go home and get a wife?

A few strings of drake-voiced quacking laughter.

Ding Xiang murmured that this annoying secondary disease is inevitable at any time and anywhere.

In the evening, Ding Xiang and Hei Wa stood at the entrance of the courtyard waiting for someone, smiling and talking to passers-by about their daily routine.

Waiting first for Ding Zhao and his wife who came to drive the bullock cart.

Ding Xiang ran over, and Ding Zhao smiled and carried her into the car.

She rummaged through the contents of the basket, and there were not only moon cakes, red apples, and silk thread, but also a few rulers and a bunch of grapes that she had only eaten in her previous life.

The grapes are not big, and are dark purple and green in color. They are so greedy that Lilac drools.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, The ruler and grapes were given by Sister-in-law Qian. Grapes are rare and we seldom grow them in Jiaodong. She picked a grape, peeled it and fed it into Lilac's mouth. I heard that grape seeds are very It’s small, don’t swallow it.”

Zhang has never eaten grapes.

The grapes were so sour that Lilac shivered and blinked. It was the first time in my life that I had eaten it. I still thought it was delicious and friendly.

Ding Zhao smiled and said, Give Xiangxiang a few more and hide them for the holidays. Don't let those two brats worry about them.

After taking her parents home and eating a few grapes, Ding Xiang went to the door to wait for her two little brothers to finish school.

Finally I saw Ding Liren. Why was he alone?

Ding Xiang ran forward and asked, Third brother is staying with grandpa in the shop or not going home?

Ding Liren said in surprise, Didn't my brother come back? He was beaten by the teacher this morning and cried so much. He complained of a headache in the afternoon and asked for leave from the teacher to go home. When school was over, I went to the shop to see grandpa, but my brother was not there.

Ding Xiang said, Third brother didn't go home either.

The little brother and sister became nervous and ran home to tell their parents.

Ding Lilai didn't like playing with the village children, nor did he like visiting alone.

Ding Zhao became restless and took Yang Hu to the fields behind the village to look for people. The Zhang family and Yang Hu's family went to the villagers' homes to look for them.

They found it even after dark.

Several farmers said they saw Ding Lilai returning to the village from the town, so the child must have been lost in the village or in the mountains.

Ding Zhao was even more panicked. Ding Chi might be dead. If something happened to this single seedling again, he would be sorry for his brother and his father would be even more sad.

He also asked a group of people with good connections in the village to go into the mountains to look for him.

Ding Xiang was also very flustered and wanted to have a dream about Ding Li.

However, in her current state, she couldn't sleep even if she was sweating.

Suddenly, she remembered the dream she had had last year, about the dry well in the woods to the north of the village. Mr. Hao sat by the well for a long time.

Thinking about Hao's gloomy face again, I felt creepy.

If something really happened to Ding Lilai, Ding Xiang would seriously suspect Hao of doing evil. Hao's heart was dark, and he tried to attack her twice without success, and was even beaten to a limp by his grandfather.

If Mr. Hao was jealous of his grandfather and wanted to attack Ding Li, he would most likely do it there. There were few people going there, so the children were beaten to death, thrown into the well, and covered with soil and leaves, so that they would not be easily discovered.

Ding Xiang burst into tears when she thought that Ding Lilai might be brutally murdered.

Little Shota is more attached to her than the other two brothers, and they spend the most time together. Now, Ding Xiang's feelings for Xiao Zhengtai are no less than those of her two brothers.

She and her family had reminded Ding Lilai to stay away from Hao many times, but she wondered if he had really fallen for Hao's tricks.

Ding Xiang's heart ached so much that she ran out madly and shouted to a group of men walking toward the mountainside with torches in their hands, Daddy, daddy...

The high-pitched child's voice was particularly abrupt among the noise.

Ding Zhao ran back, picked up Ding Xiang and yelled, Why are you running out? What will you do if something happens to you again? He yelled at Zhang who ran out again, Why are you looking after the child? Let her run out on her own.

Ding Xiang hurriedly hugged his neck and said, Dad, go to the dry well in the woods to the north of the village. If the third brother goes to play there, he slips and falls into the well.

Ding Zhao said, We looked there, but there was none.

Ding Xiang asked, Did you look carefully?

Ding Zhao said, Look, there are dead leaves inside.

What about under the dead leaves?

Ding Zhao was stunned and looked at his daughter carefully. Under the moonlight, her little face was full of seriousness and seriousness.

His daughter is not simple, she is smarter than adults.

Ding Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition. He had always thought that the child had gone off to play somewhere naughty and got lost. According to his daughter, something might have happened to the child.

He stuffed Lilac into Zhang's arms, We'll go there to look for it right away.

Ding Xiang said with tears in her eyes, Dad, I want to go too.

no!

Ding Zhao roared in a thick voice. This was the first time he was so cruel to Ding Xiang.

Mrs. Zhang quickly carried Dingxiang back home.

Ding Zhao and his men hurried to the woods and held a torch to shine down at the mouth of the well.
