Early the next morning, Xiao Shitou obediently greeted his parents.
Ding Changhe glanced at him and didn't complain.
Sister Chen served breakfast to the three of them, and Ding Changhe left after eating.
As soon as Ding Changhe left, Xiao Shitou stayed next to his mother, "Mom, yesterday you helped daddy to speak. Do you think you don't love me anymore?"
An Ran couldn't help but poke Xiao Shitou's forehead, "You, how many times have I told you that the skills you have now were also taught by your father. No matter who you are in front of or behind, you must respect him."
"Did he lose his temper with you after I left yesterday?"
"No."
"No, I don't believe it at all."
"Mom promised to make him a new suit." ?.?????.???
"Mom, why are you only doing it for him now and not for me?" Xiao Shitou felt very disadvantaged.
An Ran said with a smile: "Which of the clothes you are wearing now was not made by my mother? I will finish it for you first and then make it for him."
Xiao Shitou felt a little relieved.
"Let you stay with your father to learn more skills, but you are always making him jump. If one day he really doesn't care about you, I will see what you will do."
Xiao Shitou said nonchalantly: "Even if he doesn't care about me, I can handle it on my own now."
An Ran straightened his expression and said to Xiao Shitou: "You must not be arrogant. Why do you think the emperor and the regent are afraid of your father? How many times has the regent seized power from your father over the years? How many times has your father not been stable? You underestimate your father too much."
Xiao Shitou said sadly: "Mom, I listen to you. I won't mess with him anymore, and be more respectful in front of outsiders."
"Are you still resenting your father for not caring about us before?"
"a little bit."
"Just a little bit really."
Xiao Shitou said dissatisfied: "Mom, even if he was excusable at the time, but later, he got a whole yard of women and threw you here. He even got other women pregnant. He doesn't care about you in his heart. I just think about it. very angry."
"Little Shitou, this is beyond your control. Some of those people are not what he wants. You should know that the emperor, the regent and his colleagues have all given him women. For the sake of face, he can only continue. Maybe you will meet me in the future too.”
Xiao Shitou curled his lips and said, "I don't want it. It's making trouble to death and makes it difficult for people to live a stable life. If anyone wants to give it to me, just break it into silver and I'll use it to buy jewelry for my mother and land."
An Ran laughed out loud, "What a silly boy. You won't be able to stop thinking like that when the time comes."
"Anyway, I won't be like my father, so mother, you just believe that he is good to you."
An Ran smiled softly and shook his head. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter, life is still going on as usual.
After Ding Changhe finished discussing the matter with his men, he returned to Ding's mansion with his second and third brothers.
After the three of them talked about business in the study room in the front yard, a boy came to report, "Mr. Ping has a fever again today and has been crying."
Ding Changhe hadn't seen his adopted son for a while, so he said, "I'll go take a look. You two should go back first."
When he arrived at Aunt Yu's yard, Ding Changhe hugged his adopted son and kept crying. Aunt Yu hurriedly picked him up again.
Ding Changhe asked: "I haven't felt better after taking the medicine."
"I just took two pairs, and I have to wait until tomorrow to see the results."
"If it doesn't work tomorrow, I'll try another doctor."
"Yes." Aunt Yu couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that the uncle cared about Ping'er.
Ding Changhe saw that Aunt Yu was very sensible and rarely made troubles since she took care of Ping'er, so he asked the housekeeper to increase their daily expenses.
In any case, the child's father had been with him for more than ten years, and in the end he blocked the sword for him. He only had this bit of blood left, and he hoped that he could grow up safely.
The next day, several of Ding Changhe's men had been discussing matters in his study.
In the evening, both Aunt Wen and Aunt Han came to see Ding Changhe. He was usually not at home, so even if he wanted to be attentive, he couldn't find anyone.
Unexpectedly, I was blocked by the mountains.
Ding Changhe was annoyed by being harassed one after another. The next day, he went to the barracks to train soldiers with Ding Changsong. It happened to be rainy and snowy. It was the end of November, and he felt a little uncomfortable after being wet for most of the day.
The next day, Ding Changhe had a fever.
Ding Changhe handed over the military affairs to Ding Changsong and his deputy generals, asked Dashan to pack his things, and returned to Xiaxi Village.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw An Ran sitting in the main room, doing needlework in his hands.
When An Ran saw that he was so lethargic, he asked, "Uncle, what's wrong? I'm very tired."
When I walked up to him and touched his hand, I felt hot.
"Why are you sick? Go upstairs and rest for a while. I'll get you some medicine."
Ding Changhe lay on the kang, smelling the faint fragrance between the quilts, and fell asleep soon.
When Ding Changhe woke up, it was already night.
"Master, wake up. Let's drink some porridge first, and then drink the medicine. Keep it warm. Don't delay it if you have a fever."
Ding Changhe felt warm in his heart when he saw the warm porridge and a bowl of medicine on the table in the room.
After drinking the medicine, Ding Changhe breathed a sigh of relief and finally had a peaceful sleep.
"You're tired again. You should rest quickly."
"Fortunately, I can catch up on my sleep during the day if I'm sleepy. Uncle, please lie down quickly. It's getting cold now and you have old injuries, so don't be careless."
Because An Ran was pregnant, she had already heated the kang. Ding Changhe was lying on the hot kang, feeling comfortable
