An Ran sat down in the courtyard, took the sewing basket and continued to sew clothes for the little stone.
Mrs. Ding also came over with dishes.
"Grandma, where is the uncle?"
"He was in a bad mood and fell asleep in the house."
"It's strange to be in such good spirits. There are only so many women in the room who are so noisy." Mrs. Ding clicked her tongue twice.
An Ran didn't say anything. Mrs. Ding looked at her and whispered: "Grandma is right. You and the uncle are husband and wife after all, and it is impossible to separate. Besides, there is also the young master. If he is willing to pay more attention to you and your mother, you can Life is easy for both of us."
An Ran chewed these two words carefully, husband and wife. ?.?????.ℂ??
"Grandma, aren't you going through so much hardship just for the sake of the young master? It would be good for the young master if you improve your relationship with the uncle."
Yes, I have a son, how could I be at odds with the Ding family?
Mrs. Ding glanced at An Ran and whispered: "Uncle is not a creature in the pond. Sooner or later he will get up again. Now is your best chance."
"Best chance."
"I also heard about it later. Prince Zhong originally wanted to marry his concubine to our uncle, but our uncle is the third prince's son. If he marries someone who is Prince Zhong, wouldn't he be separated from the third prince, so the uncle is I can't refuse, and I can't marry.
"What happened next?"
Mrs. Ding sighed, "Madam has always wanted little Han to come in, but if things go wrong, if she offends Prince Zhong, it will be a disaster. The uncle was anxious at the time and wanted to take her in, but little Han I'm sick."
"So that's it. No wonder my childhood sweetheart didn't come in. I really thought it was the old lady and the master who didn't allow her to come in."
"What the eldest grandma said is right. The old lady and the old man have always disagreed. This time when she saw Aunt Han's behavior, she became even more cold-hearted. When the old lady found out, she said that the old man had a marriage."
An Ran's hand holding the needle stopped moving, "That's why she thought of me."
"Grandma, the old man sincerely hopes that you and uncle can make it together. He has never forgotten the An family who saved him in the first place."
An Ran smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten it. I will still think about it when disaster strikes."
Mrs. Ding sighed, "There was nothing we could do at the time. The old lady stopped taking all the medicine in the end, and he left within two days. Only then did he let me marry you in Rexiaoli. This not only blocked Prince Zhong, but also threatened the third prince. The prince expressed his attitude."
An Ran now understood why they had to marry her when it was obvious that they could cancel the marriage.
After the Ding family became prosperous, his parents had been worried that the Ding family would not recognize the marriage. When the Ding family received a letter, her mother even cried, saying that it was fortunate that the Ding family still recognized her as a relative, but she never imagined that she had been tricked by them.
An Ran felt increasingly uncomfortable. What did they think of themselves?
Seeing An Ran's face, Mrs. Ding patted her shoulder and said, "Grandma, it's all over. To be honest, I later heard that it was also difficult for the uncle at that time. If one of them failed, the Ding family would be completely ruined. No filial piety I helped the Third Prince plan his plans, and then went to the frontier to work hard, and life was not easy."
Surrounded by beautiful concubines, I didn't notice that he was having a hard time.
An Ran stopped talking, but felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.
Mrs. Ding and An Ran have been together for so long, and she also hopes that An Ran can live well.
"Grandma, I am not saying this to make you hate uncle even more. Everyone has difficulties. You have yours and he has his. But life has to go on and we have to live well. When we can let go Just let it go, just like you said before, it's all for the little rocks."
Yes, whoever lives in this world does not suffer, everyone has his own suffering.
An Ran finished one sleeve and then went into the kitchen with Mrs. Ding to prepare lunch.
Sister Chen went to the medicine field to have a look and came back and said, "It will definitely be affected this year. We are okay, but I am afraid there is little hope for the crops."
An Ran said: "When the weather gets better, we still have to go to the mountains to collect medicinal materials. The medicinal fields alone are too little."
"Grandma, let me go with you. If you have more than one person, pick more. If that doesn't work, it's also good to pick more wild vegetables."
"Let's wait for the weather to clear up for two days. There is water everywhere and we can't go up the mountain."
When Sister Chen came back, she also brought a fish. There was a small stream to the north of Xiaxi Village, and many people fished there. Sister Chen thought her family liked it, so she bought one.
An Ran made the fish fillet at noon, and put the fish bones and mushrooms into the fish soup.
Nowadays, it is impossible to eat white flour steamed buns, nor can we steam dry rice, so the pancakes steamed by Mrs. Ding using Sanhe noodles are quite soft.
Wild vegetables are full of vitality. Sister Chen came back and picked a handful. Mrs. Ding used boiling water to blanch the astringent taste, cooked it in a large pot of cold beans, and fried a large pot of beans with oil residue.
Mrs. Ding whispered: "Grandma, go and ask me to eat with you."
An Ran didn't move.
"Grandma, listen to me, it won't do you any good to remain frozen. You have Xiaoshi. As long as the uncle is on your side, your status in the Ding family will be stable. Even if you don't want to, you have to pretend."
An Ran sighed helplessly, unable to get rid of it, but unwilling to accept it.
An Ran still listened to Mrs. Ding's words. Yes, everyone has his own difficulties and sufferings.
After entering the house, after taking just two steps, Ding Changhe suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at An Ran with his cold and sharp eyes.
An Ran was shocked.
When Ding Changhe saw that it was An Ran, he quickly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was already gentle.
"Uncle, lunch is ready, would you like some?"
Ding Changhe slept very well this time, quietly and without any noise.
