Chapter 10 Arrival
Author: Lonely Qingquan
Arrive outside the pier at the end of noon.
Ding Zhao discovered that two women selling rattles were acting suspiciously. They were walking through the crowd, and when they saw someone holding or carrying a baby, they would come up to sell them.
Not surprisingly, these two people should have been sent by the people who harmed Xiangxiang.
Ding Zhao whispered to Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang became nervous and tightened the belt that bound the child.
Ding Zhao whispered, "Don't be nervous, don't let them see anything strange."
He reached out and pulled the cloth covering Lilac's head more tightly.
A woman saw them and ran over. With a smile on her face, she said, "Buy a small drum, it's twenty cents a piece."
Ding Zhao waved his hand and said, "No, I have already bought it in the capital."
The mother-in-law said again, "Fifteen cents each, which is much cheaper than in the capital. Take a closer look at this little drum, it's so good."
The snare drum is exquisitely made. It costs twenty-five cents a piece in Beijing. It is indeed cheap. It seems unreasonable not to buy it. But what is even more unreasonable is, why is such a good snare drum so much cheaper?
Ding Zhao became more convinced of his previous suspicions and spent money to buy a drum.
The mother-in-law looked behind Mrs. Zhang. The child was wrapped in blue coarse cloth, with only a slit on the head. She couldn't see the child's appearance, and it smelled of medicine.
She smiled and said, "The child is so handsome. How old is he?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "It's been more than two months. Alas, the child has diarrhea. It's pitiful that he has to take bitter medicine at such a young age."
The quilt is thick and wrapped with blue cloth. It looks like a two-month-old baby.
Ding Zhao handed over the copper coins and took the rattle.
The mother-in-law, who found nothing unusual, went elsewhere.
The couple secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went to a small noodle stall to eat noodles. Before, they wanted to ask the stall owner to help feed Dingxiang with hot rice soup, but they didn't dare to do so now. They didn't change Dingxiang's diapers either, so they had to wait until she had a bowel movement.
Change after the ship.
They were particularly afraid that Ding Xiang would be hungry or cry, so they would pat her from time to time to comfort her.
This child was so worry-free that he didn’t even cry until he got on the boat.
The two women also came to the boat to sell rattles, and they didn't get off until the boat was about to leave.
After more than two quarters of an hour, when the couple saw no suspicious person, Zhang took off the clove from behind.
Dingxiang pooped and peed twice, covering her buttocks and legs. Her pants and quilt were all wet, and her lower body was cold.
Ding Zhao and Mrs. Zhang felt extremely distressed. They quickly wiped their bodies clean with a dry cloth, changed their clothes and pants, and put diapers in their hands.
Zhang said, "Good boy, you have suffered."
Ding Zhao also whispered, "Xiangxiang is so well-behaved and smart. The bad guy is no longer around, so just cry a few times if you feel uncomfortable."
Dingxiang knew she was safe, so she pursed her lips and hummed a few times, acting like a coquettish girl. She didn't cry, luckily it wasn't too uncomfortable.
An old lady not far away couldn't see it, shook her head and said, "Why are you taking care of the child? She doesn't tell her to change her diaper immediately after the child poops. Tsk, tsk, how pitiful you are."
The couple did not dare to speak.
Mrs. Zhang held the cloves and searched for them all over the boat.
I actually saw a woman holding a baby with breasts and her breasts were so big.
Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I lost my health during childbirth and have no milk. Can you feed my child oral milk three times a day for ten cents each time?"
The woman was very willing to earn this money and smiled brightly, "Okay, I have a lot of milk, and my son can't finish it."
The man on the side was even more happy. He didn't expect that he could still make money by taking a boat. After seven or eight days, he could earn more than 200 yuan.
The woman's body smelled bad, and Ding Xiang felt that since she hadn't bathed for several days, her "pacifier" must be dirty. Even though she was dizzy with hunger, she still turned her face to the side and refused to drink her milk.
Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to hold her back, which made the woman grit her teeth in anger.
Ding Zhao took a lot of money and asked the boatman to help him make rice soup.
After eating and drinking enough, Ding Xiang hits his mouth and mouth, so comfortable!
The cabin was stuffy and smelled bad.
Ding Zhao and Zhang took turns holding Lilac and wandering around outside the cabin. In the afternoon, the sun was warm and the river breeze was cool. Several birds flying on the river came chirping and hovered above their heads.
Ding Xiang grinned and fell into sleep again with a smile.
This kind of boat is mostly used by people who have no money. It only sails during the day and docks at night for rest and supplies. People who take the boat are not willing to go to the shore to spend money to stay in inns, but live directly on the boat.
Ding Zhao and Zhang bought tickets and took a nap next to each other. Afraid of someone stealing the child at night, Ding Zhao wrapped a lilac in a big cloth and tied it to his chest, and he still hugged her tightly with his hands when he fell asleep.
In this thick embrace, Lilac slept soundly and contentedly.
The weather these days cannot be said to be very good. It rained lightly for a few days, but the wind was not strong and there was no headwind. At the beginning of the afternoon on the second day of September, the big ship arrived at the Linshui County pier smoothly.
After landing on the shore, the last bit of anxiety in Ding Xiang's heart drifted away with the wind.
She was completely freed from the clutches of old witch Xun, and she was no longer the granddaughter of the emperor, Princess Dongyang and the daughter of Prince Consort Xun. From now on, for many years, she would be a small peasant girl farming and doing business in the vast countryside, doing good things with bad guys.
All preparations for battle.
Ding Zhao hired a donkey cart to go to Beiquan Village.
There is no shed for the donkey cart. It is warmer here than in the capital, and the warm sunshine is very comfortable on the body.
Ding Xiang squinted her eyes slightly, and silently recited the names of people related to her in the capital and the transfer plan she heard. Aunt Li's hateful face appeared in front of her eyes. There was a black mole as big as a mung bean on the side of her left eyebrow, and her eyes were wide open.
I look up with four white eyes...
After thinking about the troubles in the capital, I also thought about how to use the knowledge from my past life to make the first pot of gold in the future.
Her adoptive parents were so kind and tried so hard to take her out of danger. Her first priority was to repay their kindness and let the family live a better life.
Ding Xiang studied fine arts in her previous life, and she entered the 985 school with fourth place in the city.
In fact, her cultural classes are very good. The reason why she keeps studying art is to spend more money from her parents as a revenge.
As soon as she graduated from college, she joined a relatively well-known studio and drew comics. She earned a lot of money, between 20,000 and 300,000 yuan a year, which was considered a high salary in the quasi-first-tier city where she lived.
But she was exhausted. After working hard for eight years, she found out that her heart was not in good condition. She didn't want to waste her life just for money.
She took out 1.2 million of her own savings, and then used all possible means to force her parents to give 150,000 each, and bought a small apartment of 54 square meters with the full amount. She didn't want to get married, and it was not enough for such a big person.
Already.
He also spent more than 80,000 yuan to buy a famous watch for his uncle, and hired her to work in the archives of a state-owned steel company through talent introduction.
Before his death, my grandfather was a big leader of that company, my uncle is now a senior executive, and my cousin also works there. My grandma's family can be considered a steel family.
She was not used to feeling relaxed all of a sudden, and she didn't want to fall in love, so she found various things to do to fill up her time. Even if she didn't work overtime like before, she was used to going to bed after twelve o'clock.
One thing is that she is definitely not like most young people today who spend a lot of time playing mobile games. She feels that it is a waste of time and a waste of life.
