The next day, Ding Changsong was appointed as the vanguard general in the local garrison.
Ding Changchuan is responsible for the security inspection of the capital.
Mrs. Ding Lin knew that her husband had been promoted, and she had been full of joy these days. Compared with Mrs. Ding Zhou, she was even more elated.
Ding Zhou had a straight temper, so she complained to Ding Changchuan when she came back, "Isn't it just that I got promoted a level? What's there to be proud of? When the second brother was not at home, the second sister-in-law was acting strangely. Now that the second brother comes back, she is very proud." "
Ding Changchuan pulled his wife over and whispered, "What's there to be angry about? Sit down."
Ding Zhou said angrily, "You too, why don't you get a promotion for me?"
Ding Changchuan whispered, "This is the plan of father and eldest brother. It is all temporary. Most of the troops in the garrison are members of eldest brother. Even if the second brother goes, it will play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. There must be a Ding family member in the army."
Ding Zhou also lowered his voice and asked, "Then why do I put you so low?"
"It's not that I put it down so low. It's because I can't leave now. First, I stay in Fucheng to take care of my family's safety. Secondly, in the future when my eldest brother goes to the capital, I will be here to take care of each other. There must be our people in Fucheng." ? .?????.???
Ding Zhou didn't understand this, but she knew that her father-in-law and eldest brother didn't mean to look down on her husband, so she didn't say anything more.
Naturally, as soon as Ding Changhe came back, the aunts immediately became energetic, all dressed up, and came to say hello to Ding Changhe.
Ding Changhe watched several concubines keep asking after each other, with tears streaming down his face from time to time. He said impatiently, "If you have anything to do, go to the second grandma. I have some errands to do, so I can't stay at home for long."
After saying that, he turned to look at Aunt Yu and Aunt Han, "Where is the child? Bring the child and let me take a look."
The girl immediately went back and brought Ding Ping and Ding Ju over.
Ding Ping is over four years old, but he is afraid of the stern and stern Ding Changhe, so he hides behind Aunt Yu and refuses to come out.
And Ding Juan was held in Aunt Han's arms. The mother and daughter looked somewhat alike.
Ding Yujiao was buried timidly in Aunt Han's arms, refusing to raise her head.
In fact, both children are a little afraid of Ding Changhe, his straight face is too scary.
Ding Changhe also shook his head, a little disappointed.
After everything was arranged in the house, Ding Changhe quietly led Dashan on horseback to Xiaxi Village two days later.
Seeing the courtyard gate from a distance, Ding Changhe couldn't help but slow down. He didn't know what the mother and son were doing. The younger son must not recognize him.
Dashan said from the side, "Uncle, we have arrived at the gate. Let's go in quickly. I guess grandma is looking forward to your return."
Ding Changhe raised his lips and said, "Go and call the door."
Dashan dismounted and ran to the gate in a hurry. He patted him three times and said, "Who is at home? Open the door quickly."
After a while, the door opened. The girl Chu Xia recognized Dashan. She looked back and saw that the uncle was dismounting. He hurriedly said, "The uncle is back. Bring the horse in quickly. I will go and notify the uncle."
Ding Changhe threw the horse rope to Dashan and asked as he entered the door, "Grandma is not at home."
"After having lunch, the eldest grandma took the young master to the mountains. Sister Chen went to the medicine field, and Dongmei and I were cleaning up the vegetable garden. If I had known that the uncle would come today, eldest grandma would definitely not have gone out."
Dashan tied up the horse and asked, "Is there anything happening at home during this period? I also want to come back early, but I am too busy to get away."
Chu Xia first gave the two of them bowls of water, and then briefly talked about what happened at home in the past two years.
After hearing this, Ding Changhe said to Dashan, "Get some paper later and burn it for me in front of old Dingtou's grave. It's thanks to them that they have taken care of grandma in the past few years."
"Yes, sir, I'll be there in a moment."
Ding Changhe stood up and walked out.
"Uncle, where are you going? Don't get sidetracked with grandma again."
"They can't go far, they must be halfway up the mountain. I'll go find them. After you burn the paper, come back and look after your house."
Ding Changhe walked towards the foot of the mountain with his hands behind his back. Chu Xia hurriedly took the things and handed them to Dashan, who also chased after him.
The graves of Lao Dingtou and his wife are not far from the foot of the mountain, just along the way.
When they reached the medicine field, the two separated, and Ding Changhe went directly to the mountain. He had been here with An Ran before, so he was familiar with the route.
Walking up the mountain along the previous road, it was late autumn, the cool breeze was blowing on the mountain, and the occasional chirping of birds could be heard, which made Ding Changhe couldn't help but relax.
He was also very happy at the thought of seeing An Ran and his son soon, so he didn't notice and kept smiling.
Sure enough, cheers came from the distance, and I heard the voices of children.
"Mom, I almost hit it. I was already very accurate when I was practicing target at home."
"The target is dead, but this little animal is alive. It's not stupid. How can it stand still and wait for you to hit it."
"Mom, was my eldest brother more accurate than me at that time? No one taught him at that time."
"Your eldest brother was more accurate than you at that time because he went up the mountain with me since he was a child. When he started practicing, he hit live animals. It's not like you hit dead animals at home. No matter how accurate you are, once you go up the mountain, your eldest brother will hit harder. Hard to hit.”
"Then I will go up to the mountain to practice every day and shoot at the wooden target at home. I don't believe that my brother can do it. I can't do it."
At this time, I heard the woman's cheerful laughter, "My son is ambitious. Let's go over there. There are also wild fruits to pick and eat."
"Then I'm going to pick a lot of them and leave daddy and eldest brother to come back and eat them."
"Wait until they come back, Wild Fruit
