In the evening, Ding Changhe lay on the kang and ate noodles.
There were two long wounds on my back and on my legs, and it was too hard to sit up.
After giving Ding Changhe the medicine, An Ran asked him, "You come here alone, how can you feel at ease in the house?"
"You have food and shelter, what are you worried about?"
An Ran's heart moved, thinking of what Xiao Shitou said, and asked: "Didn't Aunt Yu give birth to a child?"
Ding Changhe turned to look at An Ran and said with a smile, "I'm jealous."
An Ran rolled her eyes secretly, "If you don't have money to buy it, you can't afford it." ?.?????.???
Ding Changhe laughed when he saw An Ran like this, "Don't think nonsense, it's not mine."
An Ran opened her eyes wide, "What do you mean?"
Ding Changhe's face darkened, "Do you still remember the last time I was assassinated? A brother died trying to save me, but his wife was more than seven months pregnant. Because of the excitement of this incident, she suddenly gave birth prematurely. It’s a harbinger, so I can only find someone to take care of it first.”
"That's why Dashan left in such a hurry because he was injured."
Ding Changhe nodded, "But the doctor said that the mother's body is too weak and may not be able to be saved, and the woman also begged the doctor to save the child."
"and after?"
Ding Changhe closed his eyes, "The woman struggled all night, gave birth prematurely, and ran out of oil. She left a letter asking me to take care of the child out of past kindness. How can I take care of a premature baby, so I decided to The adopted son brought him back to the house."
"Doesn't that person have a family?"
"The orphan was raised by the Ding family and has been with me for more than ten years."
"Then you give this child to Aunt Yu."
"Who else can I leave to my family? Aunt Han is not very good at heart. In fact, I am more willing to let you raise her. But the conditions are better in Fucheng if the child is born prematurely. Aunt Yu has no background, but she is very smart."
Ding Changhe looked at An Ran and said, "You don't understand. Women like them who are sent to their subordinates usually end up not good. Aunt Yu understands this. So she is happy to take care of the children first and have someone to rely on in the future."
"So that's what happened."
"Don't listen to Xiao Shitou's nonsense. You only know a little bit and don't know anything. I said I will be kind to you two in the future, but it seems that you still don't believe me." Ding Changhe said to An Ran dissatisfied.
An Ran smiled, "Nowhere."
Ding Changhe smiled and said, "If you have any questions in the future, just ask me."
An Ran nodded.
Yesterday they arrived in a hurry and had no preparation. They cooked porridge and baked vegetable pancakes in the morning.
At noon, An Ran prepared a more generous meal, stir-fried vegetables with bacon, and took out the marinated meat and stewed it in a small pot.
In any case, Ding Changhe had given her a lot of money, and An Ran didn't want him to talk about it when it came to food.
An Ran also admitted that since Ding Changhe came to her, her life has improved a lot, at least there is no such shortage of money.
Therefore, there must be a man in the family, who can not only teach his son many things that she cannot do, but also avoid many people pointing fingers at him.
If your husband’s family doesn’t want you and your children, how can others stop gossiping?
Ding Changhe can only lie on his stomach or side now, and his energy is not very good. After four or five days, I slowly regained my energy, and in the past month, I have almost recovered.
An Ran saw Ding Changhe leisurely drinking tea and reading every day, and really wanted to ask him, when will you leave for the Chinese New Year in more than half a month.
On this day, Ding Changhe was picky about An Ran's cooking and fooled him again, "Why do you say that I am also a patient now? Could it be that you saw that I had lost my position and stepped on you, not even giving you something to eat?"
"The countryside has such conditions, and there is nothing like the refinement of the government. How about I ask someone to take you back in a car? Your food, housing, and medicine are better than mine, so you should get better faster. "
Ding Changhe looked at An Ran with a smile, "Okay, pack your things, then go back with me."
An Ran was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "I won't go back. I'm used to living here. If you have a stutter, it's fine. Master, please go back first."
An Ran really hoped that he would leave quickly.
"You just want to force me to leave, okay, I'll leave in a few days."
An Ran felt happy when she heard it, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
Ding Changhe said slowly: "Little Shitou probably won't be able to come back for the New Year."
An Ran was stunned. If his son didn't come back, what would be the point of celebrating the New Year by himself.
Ding Changhe looked at An Ran's expression and felt better again.
An Ran knew that asking him to teach Xiao Shitou was equivalent to handing over her weakness to him and letting him control it.
Until night, An Ran didn't talk to him again.
Because Ding Changhe was injured, the bedding that An Ran spread out for him alone was now one for each person, but not that far apart.
An Ran just got on the kang, feeling the heat from the kang, opened a corner of the quilt, took off his clothes and lay down in it.
"Of course, my back is itching badly. Please help me put some more medicine on it."
An Ran rolled her eyes. Ever since Ding Changhe got close to her, she didn't know why this man was so crazy. Sometimes he called her Ran Ran, but most of the time he didn't have good intentions.
Only my grandfather and father and mother had ever called me this name.
But he still resigned himself to his fate and got up, lit the oil lamp, and brought the ointment.
The injury was quite serious and it hasn't fully healed yet.
When he first watched it, An Ran only felt happy. This man always caused trouble for her and made her worry. But when applying the medicine, he held on to the edge of the kang tightly and didn't groan. I really admired him for being a man.
"Why don't you let Xiao Shitou go home for the New Year?"
"Now he can't just leave if he wants to."
An Ran was silent for a while and said, "But I miss him."
Ding Changhe turned to look at An Ran. Seeing that her eye circles were a little red, he thought for a moment, "How about we go see him."
An Ran was stunned, "Isn't he in the military camp? I can go to the military camp."
Ding Changhe turned sideways and said: "He is not in the military camp. He is practicing outside with my secret guards. If he comes back
