Two splendid morning glows hung on Luo Dong'er's face. It wasn't until the two of them climbed up the southern hillside, picked a basket full of wild vegetables, and prepared to walk down the mountain that Luo Dong'er regained some composure. Naturally, Ding Hao was among them.
Take the credit for intentionally striking up a conversation.
Luo Dong'er carried a bamboo basket and walked lightly in front, while Ding Hao carried a large basket full of wild grass. He picked too many wild vegetables, but these things were rare in later generations.
, euphemistically called pure green vegetables, with a lot of benefits, so although Ding Hao felt it was hard, he couldn't bear to throw away the fruits of his labor.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw the clear spring water flowing in front of Zheng Huan. Ding Hao was really tired, so he stopped and said, "Miss Dong, you are really tired from walking. How about we take a rest here?"
"Yeah, okay." Luo Dong'er responded, leaning against a bluestone and putting down the bamboo basket, and washed his hands stained green by wild vegetable juice in the stream. Ding Hao sat down on a stone by the river and washed in the stream.
He washed his hands and took out a bag from his arms. There were several layers of cloth on the outside and several layers of oil paper on the inside. When he opened it, he revealed several fragrant white flour pancakes. Because he had been carrying them in his arms, the pancakes were still warm.
Hot and soft.
"I'm a little hungry. I brought several cakes. You can have one too." Ding Hao said to Luo Dong'er.
Luo Dong'er glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry."
"This is a sugar cake. It's very delicious. Even if you're not hungry, you can still eat one piece of cake, right?"
Looking at the small cherry mouth and the large sugar cake in his hand, Ding Hao changed his mind and said with a smile: "How about half a piece? Come on, I will tear it open for you, half for each person."
He tore open the candy cake, handed it over and said with a smile: "If it weren't for your guidance, I wouldn't be able to return home with a full load. This is... reciprocating a favor."
Luo Dong'er was obviously a girl who didn't know how to refuse other people's kindness. The cake was handed to her, and she was too embarrassed to push it back, so she had to take the half of the cake with some embarrassment. Seeing that the sugar juice was about to flow down, she quickly stuck out her tongue to lick it.
For a moment.
Ding Hao smiled: "This is the craftsmanship of Ding's kitchen manager Liu Da. How is it? Is it delicious?"
Luo Dong'er took a small bite and said softly "Hmm". Ding Hao picked up the pie and took a big bite. He said with a vague smile: "If it's delicious, eat more. Let's share the taste."
These words are somewhat teasing, but they are said in such a cryptic way that you can't help but feel angry. Luo Dong'er has read books and knows how to read, so he can obviously understand, but this kind of teasing is not easy to communicate with.
He was serious, so his face turned red and he pretended not to hear...
Ding Hao asked again: "My mother's spleen and stomach have been bad recently, so she can only eat light food. Since Mrs. Dong said that these wild vegetables cannot be kept, I will come to pick wild vegetables in two days. I wonder if you will still come. If so,
Come too, so we can be company."
Luo Donger's face was slightly hot, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "I'm afraid... there are some difficulties. Today, my family went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. It's because the granddaughter-in-law of my second uncle's grandpa's house in the city is pregnant and wants to eat something light. I sent a message here.
My mother-in-law just let me go up the mountain, otherwise I would have to come out..."
"Oh..." Ding Hao responded, feeling a little disappointed.
Luo Dong'er saw that he lowered his head and said nothing, so he also lowered his head and said nothing. He just opened his small mouth and took a bite of the big cake. Suddenly, his big black grape-like eyes flashed, and he glanced at him innocently, and then glanced at Ding Hao.
Even if she didn't raise her head, Luo Dong'er's little mouth would pout a little aggrievedly...
When Ding Hao wrapped up the remaining sugar cakes and put them back in his arms, he was pricked by something. When he took it out, he saw that it was the crested silver hairpin he bought in Bazhou City. He held the silver hairpin in his hand.
Turning it gently, the two small gem eyes on the crest shine brightly in the sunlight, which is very beautiful.
"Brother Hao, let's go." Luo Dong'er said, carrying the bamboo basket on his back and holding a canopy to look at the sky.
Ding Hao glanced at Luo Dong'er, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said: "I have a hairpin here. I bought it from the shop when I went to the city yesterday. I don't want to wear it, so I kept it in my hand for nothing. Can I give it to you?
good?"
After hearing this, Luo Donger waved her hands quickly: "I can't do it. It's for no reason. How can I accept your things easily?"
"It's not worth a few bucks," Ding Hao said hurriedly: "This thing is actually just silver-plated, and the eyes on the crest are dyed with rosin. If it wasn't made well, it wouldn't even be worth three cents. Just now I started from
I fell down the slope and accidentally tore the little lady's clothes, so consider this as my apology."
Before Luo Dong'er could refuse, Ding Hao put the silver hairpin into her hand: "Today's meeting is a rare opportunity. From now on... if you want to travel with me to Dongshan, I'm afraid the opportunity will no longer exist. For this little gift, you can
Don’t refuse, okay?”
Luo Dong'er didn't dare to look into his eyes, she just lowered her eyes and said in a dignified manner: "I'm afraid...it's not convenient for me to wear it..."
When Ding Hao saw that she had accepted it, he went even further and said, "You can't wear it in front of others. Why don't you wear it here and let me take a look at the assembly?"
For some reason, Luo Donger's face turned red after hearing his words. She raised her head and glanced at Ding Hao quickly. Seeing his calm expression, she lowered her head again, stared at her toes, and shook her head in embarrassment: "No...
…, it’s really… it’s really inconvenient to wear…”
Ding Hao knew that this girl was soft-hearted, so he sighed and said, "Isn't it enough to just wear it for a while? Once we leave the mountain pass in front, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see it."
Luo Dong'er's expression was indeed a little weak, but she hesitated, bit her lip tightly, and shook her head gently: "No, don't force me, I... I really can't wear it..."
Ding Hao secretly sighed: "These ancient women are very restrained after all, and they can't help but laugh at the smallest things." The smile on his face became a little desolate, and he said: "If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it. Just treat it as a souvenir."

When they returned to the village, it was no longer convenient for the two of them to talk, and they deliberately distanced themselves. When they reached the fork in the road, they looked at each other from afar, and then walked towards their own homes.
Ding Hao returned to Ding Mansion. As soon as he entered his room, he saw Aunt Li sitting on the bed with her mother and chatting. When Aunt Li saw him coming back, she said happily: "Hao'er is back. I am talking to your mother right now."
Speaking of which, after you left yesterday, the old Liu family asked the fourth girl, and she was really affectionate towards you. The old Liu family loves their daughter, so the aunt was entrusted by someone, so she rushed here again.
, the girl nodded intentionally, as long as you agree, the marriage will be considered a success, what is your idea? "
Ding Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, why are you still bringing this up? Didn't I tell you that I really don't want to get married to the Liu family? I'm scared to see all her relatives, so let's forget it.
Bar."
Yang sighed and said: "His aunt, let me tell you, my son has no control over his mother. Hao'er has his own ideas now, and I, as a mother, can't do anything about it. It's really hard for you to run around like this."
To prepare for the child, I will prepare two pieces of colorful satin for you to send to the Liu family."
Aunt Li said: "That's not necessary. We country people don't have such big rules. Just use two pieces of cloth instead."
Ding Hao was puzzled when he heard this and asked quickly: "Mom, Aunt Li, didn't I say that I didn't want to marry the Liu family? What kind of colorful satin cloth could I give her family?"
Aunt Li snorted: "Isn't it just because you, an idiot like you, don't agree? This is the rule of a blind date. If you meet the girl and you agree, send her a hairpin. The girl will give the hairpin in front of you."
When you put it on your head, it's called a 'chai', which means you're willing to stay together for life. If you don't like the girl, you have to give her two pieces of satin. Even if the satin is broken, it also gives the girl a sense of comfort.
'."
Yang said: "His aunt, this matter is already difficult for you. How can you give cloth to others to look down upon? It's better to give satin. Now that Hao'er is in charge, he can also get some benefits when he welcomes and delivers. There is something right here.
If you have a few pieces of satin, just bring two pieces to the old Liu family."
After hearing this, Ding Hao suddenly thought of Luo Dong'er, a hairpin, a hairpin? It turns out that wearing the hairpin given by him in front of a man means a lifelong commitment. A small hairpin has such a meaning
Rules. No wonder she...no wonder she refuses to wear it...
"The moon in the sea has tears in its pearls, and the sun in Lantian is warm and the jade produces smoke. This feeling can be recalled, but it was already lost at that time..." Ding Hao thought infatuatedly, and he couldn't help but feel an unspeakable melancholy in his heart.
Since arriving in this era, he has only been attracted to two women. One is the girl Zhe who he met in Guangyuan, and the other is Luo Dong'er. Needless to say, girl Zhe, although she has a low status in the family, she is, after all,
The girl from Zhe Fanzhen's family in the northwest of Shizhen lived so far away that he didn't know if they would ever have the chance to meet each other in this life, so he rationally gave up his delusions to avoid harming the girl's life.
But this one... Why is he always looking forward and backward, careful every step, and retreating when he thinks of the slightest difficulty? In fact, he doesn't care whether he is a widow or not. Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, the heroes of the first generation, have not all married widows.
As a wife? The emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the emperors after the Song Dynasty, also had widows as their queens. He did not have so many outdated ideas after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As long as the woman satisfied his heart, he would not care about the many things. Now listen to
Aunt Li explained the reason for the hairpin. Thinking of Luo Dong'er's mood at that time, Ding Hao's heart suddenly became hot. This time, I will not back down. Miss Dong, I always want you to wear this hairpin for me willingly.
It’s on the head!
Dear readers, I always want you to vote for me willingly^_^
