After Xiao Shitou left, Ding Changhe stayed with An Ran for two days.
Two days later, I was still too busy to see anyone, and sometimes I didn’t return home for several days in a row.
Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for the border war to begin, a severe drought occurred in the Gansu and Shaanxi regions. The victims flocked to major towns. For a while, the atmosphere in Beijing also became tense.
At the end of September, Ding Changhe went out on orders.
A few days later, Dashan, on Ding Changhe's order, brought back a box of jade and a letter to An Ran. At the same time, Dashan told An Ran that he would be busy for a while and asked her to take care of herself.
An Ran saw Dashan looking tired and said, "Go down and have a good rest first. I can't live without you."
The great god shook his head, "I'm going to have a meal and I have to leave soon. The uncle asked me to gather a batch of food. I also have to go to the south for a trip."
In the south, An Ran knew that most of Ding Changhe's properties were there, and the resettlement personnel were also there, so he hurriedly asked: "But what's the matter?"
Dashan sighed, "There is a severe drought in Gansu and Shaanxi, but there are still a group of our brothers from Black Tiger Camp in the Guan Yueshan Mountains of Gansu and Shaanxi. There is a shortage of food there, so I have to send a batch to the brothers, as well as the uncle from Guanshan." There is a horse farm that also needs help. This time, the brothers from the horse gang are helping to transport this batch of food, but I really can’t spare the time." ?.?????.???
"Isn't Black Tiger Camp not far from Dingjia Village?"
"That's just one of the points. People can't be put in one place and there are other places."
"I have some rations saved at the village in Xiaxi Village. If you need it, take half of it first."
He laughed loudly and said: "No, uncle said, you can just take care of the people placed in the village with your little rations. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Since Ding Changhe had arrangements, An Ran stopped talking and asked Dashan to go down and eat quickly.
An Ran opened the box that Ding Changhe came back from, looked at the jade stones in the small box, played with them for a while, picked out one with a warm color, and asked the old housekeeper to help send it to Jinlou. She wanted to get a ring and a ring.
An Ran collected the rest. Whether he keeps it or gives it as a gift in the future, he can get it.
Dashan really finished his meal and went to the front yard to talk to Ding Shengkang, and then left in a hurry.
Dashan transferred this batch of grain from the Nanfang Farm Granary and secretly transported it to a valley in Gansu and Shaanxi. There was a group of brothers from the Black Tiger Battalion in the valley. After taking over the grain, they had a full meal that night.
The leader said to Dashan, "Go back and tell the general that there is no problem here, we can continue as usual. But this year there was a disaster nearby, and the surrounding areas cannot receive food. If it is not relieved before the year, we will have to ask the general to transport a batch of food." "
Dashan nodded, "Try not to go down the mountain during this period, and be careful not to be exposed. I will tell the general about the situation."
The leading general handed the letter to Dashan again, and Dashan handed it over before leaving.
Dashan rushed back to the capital with his secret guards without stopping, found Ding Changhe in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, handed his personal letter to Ding Changhe, and then went down to rest.
Ding Changhe has been away from home during this period. Although he has taken over the Ministry of War, there are many problems in the Ministry of War and he has to check them one by one. By the way, he also kidnapped a large number of people and installed his cronies.
After all the garrison inspections, it was already two months before he returned to the capital.
Ding Changhe went to the palace to report back to the emperor and reported the problems discovered this time one by one.
In the past, the Ministry of War was controlled by the regent's people, and later it was taken over by the uncle. But Uncle Guo didn't know much about marching and fighting, and he wasn't very good at mobilizing supplies. When big mistakes were made, the emperor had no choice but to replace him.
Now Ding Changhe controls the Ministry of War. He has a military background and is very capable. The emperor still recognizes him very much.
The problems found this time are basically true. If Ding Changhe is dedicated to taking care of the emperor, the emperor will be very happy.
After finishing his errand, Ding Changhe went home. When he entered the house, he explained the matter to his father before going to the backyard.
An Ran saw that Ding Changhe was dusty and his face was thin and sharp, so he knew that he had been having a hard time during this period.
An Ran held her belly, touched Ding Chang's thin face with one hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, uncle."
Ding Changhe softened the expression on his face and said, "How do you feel? No one is keeping their eyes open during this period. Please look for trouble."
An Ran smiled and said, "It's all good. I asked the kitchen to prepare water. I'll go and freshen up first. I'm also simmering chicken soup for you in the kitchen. You've lost weight, uncle."
"Okay, then I'll go first. You sit in the room and don't move."
Ding Changhe took a change of clothes and went to the clean room.
After An Ran dried Ding Changhe's hair, Sister Chen also brought the food and chicken soup to the table.
Ding Ziheng knew his father was back and ran back after practicing kung fu in the front yard.
Ding Ziheng missed his father quite a bit after not seeing him for two months.
Mainly because Ding Changhe loved his son very much and rarely scolded him. Ding Ziheng felt that his father was not as strict as others said.
Ding Ziheng is very discerning. When he saw his mother ladling chicken soup for his father, he quickly used chopsticks to help his father put the vegetables into a bowl.
Ding Changhe was very pleased to see his son's admiring expression towards him.
"You always say that I am partial to Heng'er, but look at how little Shitou has ever behaved like Heng'er. He either chokes me or stares at me, and dares to fight me. Can you blame me for being partial to Heng'er?"
When Ding Ziheng heard his father praising him, he smiled at his father and gave him another chopstick dish.
An Ran thought for a while and said, "Little Shitou was also very sensible when he was a child."
Seeing Ding Changhe's disbelieving look, An Ran smiled.
"You don't know, at that time most people ate
