Early the next morning, An Ran was woken up by Ding Changhe, "Get up, we can't sleep in late today."
An Ran opened her eyes with difficulty and said angrily, "I know I'm leaving today, but you didn't finish last night and wanted to see me make a fool of myself."
Ding Changhe chuckled softly in An Ran's ear, "If you don't stand up, you should wake up soon."
An Ran turned around and saw that Ding Ziheng was sleeping soundly now and hurriedly got up and put on his clothes.
Ding Changhe stretched out his son's quilt. He was afraid that if he woke up soon and saw that he was sleeping alone and so far away, there would be trouble.
Sure enough, when Heng'er woke up and saw that she was in bed and not with her mother, she felt a little unhappy.
An Ran took the new clothes and said, "Hurry up. We have to walk for a long time to go to grandma's house today. Let's not be late. Mom made the new clothes for you. Come on, put them on quickly."
When An Ran interrupted, Zi Heng revealed the matter.
Ding Changhe sat cross-legged on the kang, watching his son happily put on his new clothes, and happily ran out to find Sister Chen to wash his face. ?.?????.???
"Let me tell you, I made one set after another for your son, but there was never enough."
When An Ran saw Ding Changhe like this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead. This awkward temper was so similar to that of Xiao Shitou.
He turned around and took out another set from the cabinet, "This is for the uncle, so don't be jealous of your own son."
Ding Changhe suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I can be jealous of my own son. You are a woman who doesn't know the importance. How can you not take care of your own man first and only think about your own son."
Talking back, An Ran smiled and said, "I can make three pieces for Heng'er once you make one for me. You have both inner and outer clothes. Master, I'm satisfied now."
Ding Changhe couldn't help but smile, pulled An Ran over, and kissed her face several times.
"You are acting up again so early in the morning, and the children will see you soon."
Ding Changhe whispered, "I didn't have enough fun last night. You were away for a long time. I will settle the score with you when I come back."
An Ran smiled softly, "Then uncle, just wait slowly, I'll go out first."
Ding Changhe looked at the new clothes, changed out of his clothes, put on An Ran's new clothes, and then slowly walked out of the house.
Sister Chen got up early, prepared the meal, and brought it to the main room, whereupon the three of them began to eat.
Sister Chen also prepared a lot of dry food, which can be used as a snack if you are hungry on the way. Mainly because Heng'er was there, Sister Chen was also afraid that he would be hungry on the road.
After dinner, Sister Chen helped Anran load all the packed things into the car, and Dongmei also brought all the dry food to the car.
Sister Chen sent An Ran to the door and said, "Grandma, take care of yourself all the way. You can rest assured at home."
An Ran nodded, "If anything happens, you can figure it out yourself." After saying that, Dongmei helped An Ran get into the carriage.
But Heng'er refused to get in the car and insisted on riding with his father.
Ding Changhe had no choice but to hold him to his chest, wrap his arms around him, and ride in front of him for a while. The boy calmed down after enjoying himself.
When passing through the town, Ding Changhe bought a lot of snacks and put them in the car.
Dashan booked an inn in the next town and rested here for the night. The next day, Ding Changhe saw them off for a while, and they were about to separate at the intersection.
An Ran looked at her son sitting in front of Ding Changhe and said, "Heng'er and mother are here to take the car. Daddy has something to do."
Heng'er is now very sensible and knows that his father is just sending them off for a while. Now he obediently asked his mother to carry him over and said to his father, "Dad, you have to come and pick us up when you are done."
Ding Changhe also dismounted, approached An Ran and said, "You don't have to rush on the road. You still have plenty of time to get to Beijing. Just arrive before the end of the year. Take care of yourself and your son."
An Ran nodded, "Young Master, please also pay attention. The matter has not been settled yet, and there may be someone who is causing trouble behind the scenes. Don't be careless."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Get in the car."
After saying that, he helped An Ran get into the carriage, and then picked up his son.
Through the car window, An Ran waved to Ding Changhe, and Heng'er shouted at the top of her voice, "Dad, mother and I are gone, don't miss us too much."
Ding Changhe smiled at his son, "Heng'er, you must listen to your mother. When you come back, daddy will give you good things."
"Okay, I've always been the most well-behaved. Mom said I'm much better-behaved than my brother."
Ding Changhe waved his hand, the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage drove forward slowly, followed by four guards on the left and right.
Seeing them walking away, Ding Changhe's face darkened, and Dashan said, "Uncle, several lieutenants should be here. Let's leave quickly."
Ding Changhe turned around and mounted his horse, whipped his whip and galloped towards the barracks.
An Ran looked at the retreating scene outside the window. This was the way home, but she didn't recognize it at all. It’s been more than ten years since I left home for the first time, and I couldn’t help but feel ups and downs.
I couldn't help but think of the injustice I had suffered over the years, from marrying into the Ding family, to working hard to make a living in the countryside, being criticized behind my back, and how difficult it was for me to live with my son.
She wanted to go home at that time, but she couldn't go back. A woman who was abandoned by her husband's family would be looked down upon when she returned home, and would even attract gossip to her parents' family.
Besides, she didn't have much money at that time, didn't know the way, and didn't dare to go out alone with her children. She could only get home in a dream many times.
