On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after San had finished talking in the study, Ding Changhe asked: "Changchuan, your wife is still ill."
I came back late that day and didn't have time to see everyone. Changsong's daughter-in-law came over early the next morning to say hello and took the initiative to hand over the power of the family.
Regardless of whether it's sincere or not, it looks pretty good.
Ding Changhe also knew that An Ran would not take over. She wished to stay as far away from the Ding family as possible, so how could she take over the family affairs. ?.?????.???
But the third daughter-in-law, Changchuan, never showed up.
Aunt Han relied on her mother's support to not take An Ran seriously, and now this younger sibling did the same, which made Ding Changhe very unhappy.
Ding Changchuan put away his smile and said, "Brother, Mr. Zhou has been saying that he doesn't feel well and has caught a cold."
"I feel uncomfortable. I think I feel uncomfortable."
Ding Changchuan was also helpless. The newlyweds were still very sweet. Who would have thought that something would happen to the newly married eldest brother, and the Ding family would almost be ransacked again. Ding Changchuan's future was still affected, and Ding Zhou also complained a lot, but he understood a little bit, so he was more tolerant of Zhou.
When Ding Changchuan saw that his eldest brother looked unhappy, he lowered his head and stopped defending. I secretly thought to myself that Zhou must be careful tonight. If he offends his eldest brother, he would be really kind.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the family is having a reunion dinner. In the lobby, the maid is busy serving tea and fruits.
Xiao Shitou has always been with his father. In the eyes of outsiders, he can be regarded as a loving father and a filial son.
Because An Ran didn't interfere with the housekeeper's affairs when he came back, Ding Lin was also good at selling An Ran, and they both had a heart for each other, so they naturally laughed and talked to Yan Yan.
Ding Changchuan brought his newly married daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, over to pay tribute to his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Ding Zhou's mother-in-law was also a military general, and she was always arrogant. From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on her sister-in-law who lived in the countryside and was unwanted by her husband's family.
He bowed to An Ran perfunctorily, then sat aside and said nothing.
Seeing her attitude, An Ran didn't bother to feel uncomfortable, and only occasionally chatted with Ding Lin.
When the time comes, firecrackers must be lit first and then the feast begins.
A boy held a bamboo pole, and long firecrackers hung down.
The servant handed over the lit incense, and Ding Changhe called Xiao Shitou over, "This year, you will light the firecrackers, be careful."
"Uncle, this is what men should do, why do you let a child come?" An Ran asked in a low voice.
With a smile on his lips, Ding Changhe leaned down and whispered: "He will take care of it from now on."
Little Shitou lit up the firecrackers happily and shouted happily.
Ding Changsong and Ding Changchuan looked at each other, the eldest brother had made his decision.
After the firecrackers were lit, the butler bowed and said, "Sir, the banquet is ready."
Ding Changhe said to his two younger brothers: "Let's have a dinner."
The banquet was very lively, but An Ran felt out of place in this environment.
An Ran prepared red envelopes and gave them to Ding Changsong's son and daughter. After all, this was their first meeting.
After the meal, everyone had a lively chat and a few laughs. Ding Zhoushi excused herself and went back to the house.
Ding Changchuan saw his elder brother's face turned cold.
An Ran saw Ding Changchuan standing awkwardly in front of his elder brother, and said slowly: "Okay, it's fine if the young couple wants to celebrate the festival by themselves."
Ding Changchuan smiled gratefully at An Ran.
Ding Changhe calmed down his expression and said, "It's getting late, let the ladies take care of it and go back."
Little Stone jumped over and said, "Dad, I want to play in the front yard."
"Okay, let Dashan follow you and don't mess around."
"No nonsense, no nonsense." After saying that, he ran out.
Ding Changhe had already spoken, and Ding Changsong and Ding Lin bowed and left, and returned to the house.
Ding Lin said on the way: "This sister-in-law seems to be doing well. She doesn't talk much. She doesn't seem to be difficult to get along with."
Ding Changsong had been in contact with An Ran for a while in the countryside and said: "Sister-in-law is not a simple person, but my mother did too much back then. She doesn't want to interfere with the Ding family's affairs. You can just be more respectful."
Ding Lin said: "Don't worry, Second Master, I have written it all down."
Who would be willing to break up with each other if they could be friends with each other?
After Ding Changchuan returned to the house, he had a few words with Zhou. He was so angry that he treated his eldest brother like this in front of his face. Ding Changchuan was also very angry.
The two of them had another argument in the room, suppressing their voices.
After leaving the lobby, it was a little cold outside, but my mind felt clearer. Ding Changhe and An Ran walked slowly in the yard. The yard was filled with red lanterns, illuminating the road brightly.
An Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Ding Changhe waiting for her slowly and keeping pace with her.
"what's so funny."
He thought An Ran was laughing about what happened just now, but actually he was not happy in his heart.
An Ran heard that his tone was not good and said, "No, I just remembered the first time I walked with the uncle."
Ding Changhe thought for a while, but had no idea, "When."
"On the second day after my wedding, when I came out of my mother's courtyard to kowtow to my grandfather, my uncle was striding in front of me, and I had to trot behind to catch up."
Ding Changhe had no memory of this incident and said: "I can't remember it clearly. There were too many things going on at that time, so I just wanted to kowtow and go do other things quickly."
When he was approaching the entrance of the courtyard, he met Ding Changhe's aunt waiting here. Ding Changhe said, "This is Aunt Wen."
That is the third prince's people.
An Ran didn't even look at it, but said to Ding Changhe: "Uncle, you guys talk, I'll go in first.
