Before I got home in the afternoon, I saw Chen Erlang carrying something on his back. Chen Erlang's wife was also carrying a large backpack and took her three children with her. They didn't know where they were going.
"It's grandma. Last year was a bad year and I didn't even go back to my parents' home during the Chinese New Year. This year I finally recovered and went back to see my parents."
An Ran saw what they were carrying and asked Old Dingtou to drive a donkey cart to see them off for such a long journey.
"Grandma, let's take you back first. It doesn't matter if we walk a few more steps."
An Ran carried Daya and Erya into the car and said, "I'll be there in a few steps. You guys hurry up and get in the car. Why did you go there only in the afternoon?"
Chen Erlang smiled honestly, "Go in the afternoon, have a meal there in the evening, stay overnight, and come back early tomorrow morning. If you go in the morning, you have to have two meals there."
An Ran was a little sad to hear this. ?.?????.???
"Get in the car quickly." An Ran stuffed the meat buns she bought into each of the three children and said, "Eat on the way."
When something happened here in An Ran, Chen Erlang's wife often helped. Even in the village, when Xiao Shitou fought with others, Da Zhuang often helped Xiao Shitou get punched.
An Ran watched the donkey cart go away before walking home. From a distance, he saw two horses tied here.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Sister Chen ran over and said, "Grandma, the uncle is here, and his face is very gloomy."
An Ran also asked in a low voice: "When did you come?"
"After dinner in the morning, I came here shortly. I had dinner here at noon. You haven't come back since. My uncle's face has been looking very ugly."
An Ran thought to herself, why do you come here to me when you have nothing to do and show off your face?
After entering the house, Ding Changhe held a book and put it down when he saw An Ran coming in.
"Where have you gone?"
An Ran bowed first and said, "Send the little stone to the town."
"You came back on foot." Ding Changhe's expression changed a little.
"No, Uncle Ding drove me back. On the way, I met Chen Erlang taking his wife back to her parents' home. Uncle Ding went to see them off, and I walked back."
Ding Changhe exhaled and said, "Sit down and have a rest."
An Ran sat on the other side, and Ding Changhe poured An Ran a cup of tea.
Dashan squatting in the corner opened his eyes wide, seeing this for the first time.
"I'll do it myself, I won't bother you."
"Moisten your throat first, why did it take so long?"
"Buy something."
"What do you lack?"
"The small stone shoes are too useless. Buy some coarse cloth and some needlework."
"Didn't I give you some fabric last time?"
"It's okay to make clothes, but it's too wasteful to make shoes."
Ding Changhe said displeasedly: "What a waste, you can use it if it's brought to you. If you don't have any more, I'll send it to you again. Don't save it."
An Ran lowered his head, finished a cup of tea, and poured himself another cup. He was indeed a little thirsty.
"Uncle, why did you think of coming here? Something happened."
"nothing."
What are you doing here if you have nothing to do?
"Master, aren't you busy?"
Ding Changhe raised his eyes and looked at An Ran, "You don't welcome me here."
"I don't dare, for fear of delaying the uncle."
Ding Changhe snorted coldly, poured himself a cup of tea, and then refilled An Ran's cup.
"Uncle, when will you go back?"
Ding Changhe put the teapot a little heavy.
"Uncle, there is only this tea set here. If you break it, there will be nothing to make tea for you."
"Change it if it's gone. It's worth your while."
This tea set was brought along with Ding Changhe when he delivered tea last time.
An Ran really couldn't talk to him anymore, how could she send him away.
"You'd better move to that yard. It's too small here. It's vacant over there. If you don't want to move back, just stay in the original house. I've found someone and will come over tomorrow to reset it."
An Ran wanted to say that it was good for her to live here.
But she also knew that after saying this, Ding Changhe would overturn the table.
"Okay, I'll move there after the cleaning is done."
Ding Changhe curled his lips when he saw that An Ran didn't face him this time.
An Ran asked again, "Uncle, do you want to eat here today?"
Ding Changhe hummed.
An Ran said in embarrassment: "We don't have meat at home, and we don't have decent food and wine. I'm afraid we won't be able to entertain well."
Ding Changhe shouted outside, "Dashan, go to the mountain to catch some game."
Dashan stood up and said, "Okay."
An Ran stood up and said, "I'm covered in dirt this time. I'll go down to freshen up and go to the kitchen to have a look. Sir, please sit down first."
Ding Changhe hummed.
After An Ran came out, he went to the kitchen to freshen up briefly, and then told Mrs. Ding that Ding Changhe was going to eat here.
Mrs. Ding was quite happy, "Grandma, let's move there. Firstly, it's a big place, and secondly, the Ding family has moved away, but you didn't follow. There are a lot of gossips in this village. Today, the uncle is here for a reason." You got the hang of it."
An Ran said unhappily: "So, I have to thank him."
Mrs. Ding smiled and said, "Grandma, if you just say angry words, it will make your life easier. Why do you have to be so stubborn? Man, please say a few nice words and give me a smile to make your life more comfortable."
Someone in the village was gossiping. Of course An Ran knew about it, so he just said it. He had heard it all the time.
An Ran glanced into the main room, sighed, and said, "If there is anything else at home, get ready to do it. I don't know when I will be back from hunting in the mountains."
Mrs. Ding went to the river to see if there were any fish netters and bought two big fish. This is delicious and quick to make.
An Ran steamed rice and sat in the courtyard picking beans.
Ding Changhe was sitting in the main room, holding a book in his hand and looking towards the courtyard.
An Ran is like that
