The next day, Xiao Shitou found out about this in the front yard, and curled his lips in disdain.
In Ding Shengkang's study, Ding Shengkang took a map and told Xiao Shitou about the terrain of the frontier. It can be said that Ding Shengkang spent most of his life on the frontier. He was so familiar with it that Little Shitou was also fascinated by it.
At this time, Ding Changhe came in with Ding Ziheng. Ding Ziheng hurriedly ran to sit next to Ding Shengkang and pretended to listen to his grandfather.
Ding Shengkang said at this time, "Later on, your father often fought against foreigners, and the new generals he appointed were more knowledgeable than me. You should ask your father more about this."
Xiao Shitou raised his eyes and glanced at his father, and said with a smile, "My father is very busy now, and is worried about so many people. My mother is pregnant with the child for him, and he doesn't think it's enough. How can he have time to do it again?" Teach me."
Ding Changhe slapped the table and said, "Speak to me properly."
Xiao Shitou also said angrily, "What did I say wrong? I know you had no good intentions and tricked my mother into coming here."
Ding Changhe said angrily, "You should stop meddling in my affairs. Is this what you should do?"
Little Shitou also scratched his neck and shouted, "I don't care about you, but you can't make my mother angry." ?.?????.ℂ??
Ding Changhe slapped the table, stood up and kicked out.
Xiao Shitou also practiced well. He jumped up and turned in the air to avoid Ding Changhe's kick.
Ding Changhe waved his hands and struck Xiao Shitou in front of him again, and just like that, the father and son exchanged hands in the study.
Ding Ziheng looked at his elder brother with wide eyes. He was so fierce that he dared to fight his father.
Ding Shengkang rubbed his head and slammed the table twice, "Stop it, what do you mean?"
Little Shitou was also clever and turned around to hide behind Ding Shengkang.
Ding Changhe said with a cold face, "Go to the front yard to train. You are not allowed to come back until evening."
Xiao Shitou snorted, "Just practice, I'm still afraid of this, young master." After saying that, regardless of his father's unkind expression, he ran away.
Seeing this, Ding Ziheng hurriedly slipped out of his chair and chased after him.
Ding Shengkang asked, "What's going on? You want Aunt Han to have another child."
Ding Changhe turned around and sat down, rubbed his head and said, "No, if it wasn't at my mother's place, I wouldn't have gotten into trouble."
Ding Shengkang said: "Your mother is just confused, but if she is locked up, you will not look good outside. Your son will suffer, and it will be you who will be blamed."
"I know." It was because he knew he couldn't do anything to his mother that he felt angry.
There are people who are waiting to find trouble with him. If he is labeled as unfilial, he is just waiting to be ginsenged.
After Ding Changhe left, Aunt Han spent the day in trepidation. She felt relieved when she saw no punishment. It seemed that she was still favored by her aunt.
Ding Hanshi thought that if it doesn't work once, she will find another chance. Her niece is still young and she will definitely be able to regenerate.
But when An Ran was more than four months pregnant and had just recovered from morning sickness, Ding Changhe told An Ran that Xiao Shitou was going to the frontier.
An Ran grabbed Ding Changhe and said, "Why are you going to the border again? Haven't we already negotiated peace?"
Ding Changhe smiled disdainfully, "We have negotiated peace so many times, but every time we have delayed the war."
"We still have to fight. Xiao Shitou has only been back for a few months, and we have to go again."
Ding Changhe took An Ran's hand and said patiently, "Little Shitou will become a martial artist in the future. If he wants to stand firm, he must practice on the battlefield. No matter how much I teach him at home, he still won't be able to do it on the battlefield. Don't worry, this time I will We will make thorough arrangements.”
An Ran knew that Ding Changhe was right. Flowers grown in greenhouses cannot withstand any wind and rain. If they want to grow into towering trees, they must undergo severe tests.
"How could there be a war on the border in July and August?"
"Not now, but it will take more than a month for him to get ready and arrive at the border. It will also take time to deploy there. We can't make temporary preparations. Besides, it's just to give him more experience, not to face the enemy head-on."
An Ran lowered his head to hide the sadness in his heart. "Then when will we leave?"
"I'll leave when I'm ready. Don't feel bad. Only on the battlefield can generals have room to show their talents. If things were truly peaceful, the Ding family would not be tolerated by them."
"I see."
From that day on, Ding Changhe went out early every morning and came back at night. Sometimes he didn't come back for several days. He fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.
An Ran felt uneasy, she always felt that something was going to happen.
She couldn't understand many things, especially political affairs. She spent all her time in Xiaxi Village, and she had no greater ability to know more.
An Ran sent two letters, one to Uncle Hai, a veteran in Xiaxi Village, and the other to his natal family, An Qiao.
Although she didn't understand that much, she also knew that as long as there was a war, there would be a shortage of medicines.
Tell them not to relax, to plant and purchase more medicinal materials, and to prepare some food. As long as there is a war, food prices will be very expensive. At the very least, we must ensure that we have food rations.
Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from Ding Changhe, who brought back a box of gold bars and several silver notes for An Ran.
An Ran said, "Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't talk nonsense with me. I'm not energetic enough right now to think so carefully."
Ding Changhe touched An Ran's belly. An Ran's belly was surprisingly big this time during her pregnancy. Ding Changhe had already asked the doctor to pay attention when he took his pulse, and then he knew that An Ran was pregnant with twins this time.
An Ran is pregnant now, and Ding Changhe really doesn't want her to bother herself. But when An Ran asked, he said, "Didn't you ask them to buy more medicinal materials? How can you have so much money? Just use this."
"Okay, actually I'll let them harvest more grain this year."
Ding Changhe sighed and said, "You just can't take your time."
