575 Atonement
Hua Tianzheng saw that Lao Ding was very weak, so he opened the two glucose oral liquid he had carried for Lao Ding to drink. After a while, Lao Ding's eyes became stronger.
Dingxiang tied apron and boiled some hot water, washed the kitchen well, and soon it looked neat and bright. Dingxiang poured the mutton and baked pancakes he brought back in boiling water and boiled it. After putting some scallions and coriander, the fragrance of mutton came out of the kitchen. Lao Tiancheng heard the sound of rumbling sounds in Lao Ding's stomach, and smelled the fragrance Lao Ding kept swallowing. Looking at Lao Ding's pitiful appearance, Hua Tiancheng felt very sad.
Soon Dingxiang prepared the meal, and Dingxiang scooped a large bowl to bring it to Lao Ding. Hua Tiancheng slowly helped Lao Ding sit up. Lao Ding held the fragrant mutton soaking cake and ate it voraciously, as if he had been hungry for several days. Dingxiang stood silently on the ground and looked at his very thin father, feeling very uncomfortable. His father was the only daughter, now he was married, but no one cared about his father. He lived a very humble life and lived a worse life than a beggar.
When the bowl of rice was eaten, Lao Ding's face improved a lot. In less than ten minutes, Lao Ding finished a large bowl of rice. Then he remembered that Hua Tiancheng and his daughter Dingxiang had not eaten yet, so he smiled and said, "Look, I just care about eating by myself, and forgot to ask you both."
"Uncle Ding, you have a good meal first. I have something to talk to you about. We had already had dinner when we came in the morning. This is your home, so don't be polite."
Lao Ding ate two big bowls in a row, then put them down, looked at his neat and bright home, and smiled on his face. Once his daughter came back, he would clean the house once.
After dinner, Dingxiang poured some cold water and prepared to wash cotton clothes for her father, but when she put her hands in the cold water, she couldn't help but shivered. Hua Tiancheng walked over and helped Dingxiang up from the stool and said, "Don't wash it, throw it away. Can it be washed out if it's so dirty? I have a new cotton coat in my car, so I'll wear it for your father. Don't wash clothes with cold water in winter, as this is not good for the body. Cold body is prone to illness and obedient." Seeing Hua Tiancheng say this, Dingxiang burst into tears, so he put the old cotton coat that he had not washed for five or six years and did not put it in the washing basin.
All this was seen in Lao Ding's eyes. Although it was a trivial matter, Lao Ding cried and said to himself: "You are such a good man who can be considerate of women!"
After a while, Dingxiang went out and took a new black cotton coat from the car and changed it to her father. Lao Ding still refused to wear it: "Oh, I'm just a sheep-herding person. Why do I wear such a good cotton coat? It's a pity." This is the thinking of the poor. I'm used to living a poor life and paying attention to saving everything. In fact, there is no channel to make money. How much can I save? In the end, I can't even save my life.
"Uncle Ding, put it on. If you don't wear it, I'll be angry?" Hua Tiancheng immediately said with a cold face. Seeing that Hua Tiancheng was about to get angry, Old Ding put on the cotton coat with a smile. He reached out and touched it, and said to himself: "The new cotton coat feels so good and is light in it. My old cotton coat is too heavy."
"Uncle Ding, you are so weak, have you bought the sheep?" Hua Tiancheng suddenly said such words. Old Ding looked at Hua Tiancheng blankly and asked, "I don't want to herd sheep, why am I doing? Are you just idle every day? We farmers are used to working, and they are all uncomfortable if they don't work. I can't stay idle. These ten sheep are my life root and I can't sell them. I'm still waiting for these lambs to raise and buy them in Jinniu Town for money."
Hua Tiancheng thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Ding, how much can you sell these ten sheep? Can you quote me a price?"
"I'm all good breeds of big goats, so expensive. Ten goats can be sold at least 10,000 yuan. I don't have much money to come from at home, so I rely on these goats to support me."
"Uncle Ding, sell you ten sheep to me. Don't let go here. This time, I will go back to Meirengou with me and live in my Fairy Doctor Pavilion or Dingxiang's house." Lao Ding looked at Hua Tiancheng in surprise and asked, "I live well here. What are you doing when you go there? I won't go anywhere. I won't go anywhere. If I want to die, I will die at my own home."
"Dad, why don't you go to stay at my house? Tiancheng found a boiler job for Chen Cheng in the hospital, and he rarely goes home. I have divorced Chen Cheng, but I don't leave home after divorce. Before I got married to Tiancheng, I still lived at Chen Cheng's house. No one outside knew that Chen Cheng and I were divorced. It was because of my daughter's unfilial, and this time it was Tiancheng who suggested that I let him see you."
After hearing this, Lao Ding saw that Hua Tiancheng was a very simple man. She sat cross-legged on the kang of his house. He grabbed Hua Tiancheng's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Tiancheng! Uncle Ding was very handsome when he was in his twenties, but unfortunately he had no prospect in his life. Xiangxiang's mother was also beautiful when she was young. She was from the Xibe tribe. When she saw me, she fell in love with me at first sight. Xiangxiang's mother ignored the opposition of her family and wanted to marry me. After we got married, due to different living habits, we often quarreled and I even beat her.
When I was young, I didn’t understand what love was. Marriage required tolerance and tolerance. Xiangxiang’s mother was a person with a very strong temper. Seeing that I didn’t cherish her, I was so angry that I stabbed myself with a knife. When Xiangxiang was born, our personalities and living habits were almost the same. When Xiangxiang was six years old, Xiangxiang’s mother took Xiangxiang to Jinniu Town to attend a temple fair, and Xiangxiang was thrown away.
When Xiangxiang's mother couldn't find Xiangxiang, she tortured herself. She didn't eat or sleep for a few days, but she fell ill. Later, Chen Cheng's father found Xiangxiang for us. He didn't want other rewards, so she said that when Xiangxiang grew up and could be a wife for his son. Xiangxiang's mother died of illness a year later because of her anger. After Xiangxiang's mother died, I gradually regretted it.
