"The family was clearly well off, but they only gave him an old cow and a broken cart."

"The cowherd didn't mind all this. He lived with the old cow, reclaiming wasteland. Later, he built a small wooden house on the edge of the wasteland. He lived a very simple life."

Qiu Yinong paused and said with a smile, "Don't you think this cowherd is quite nice and ambitious, right?"

"Well, he is indeed a good young man." Qiu Hanli's voice sounded.

Qiu Yinong shook her head: "Well, it seems to be true now. Let's listen."

"On the day the fairy descended to earth, the old cow suddenly spoke human language and told the cowherd to go to the Bilian Pond that day, because a fairy would come to bathe there."

"When the time comes, you will hide the red fairy clothes, and the fairy wearing the red fairy clothes will become your wife."

"Did this young man really go there?" Qiu Hanchi couldn't help but speak.

Qiu Yinong nodded and sneered, "He immediately became very excited and asked Lao Niu if what he said was true. Lao Niu said it was true."

"He squatted in the reeds early in the morning, waiting for the fairy to descend to earth."

"In the end, the fairies really descended from the sky. The Weaver Girl was reluctant to go into the water, but the fairies soaked her, and she had no choice but to do so."

"The cowherd immediately took the red fairy clothes away. The fairies noticed someone was there and hurriedly put on their own fairy clothes and flew up into the sky like birds."

"Only the fairy in red was hiding in the pond, feeling shy and anxious. She was the Weaver Girl, but without her fairy clothes she could not fly back to heaven."

"The Cowherd came forward and said to the Weaver Girl, 'If you marry me, I will return the fairy clothes to you.'"

"The Weaver Girl agreed?" Qiu Hanli said in disbelief.

Mother Qiu couldn't help but say, "Isn't this Cowherd a pervert? He took someone's clothes and forced her to marry him. How shameless!"

"That's right. The Weaver Girl had no choice but to pretend to agree and wait until she got the fairy clothes."

"But the old cow was even more shameless. After the Weaver Girl agreed, he swallowed the fairy clothes directly into his stomach."

"The Weaver Girl was very upset when she saw this. The Cowherd didn't know why the old cow was so angry, but the old cow said that as long as the Weaver Girl got the fairy clothes, she would leave."

"When the Cowherd heard this, he immediately stopped blaming the old cow. The Weaver Girl had no choice but to stay and marry the Cowherd, as he was quite good-looking."

"Soon after their marriage, the Weaver Girl gave birth to a son and a daughter. The Cowherd also thought that the Weaver Girl would live with him peacefully and grow old together."

"One day in heaven is one year on earth. A few days later, the Queen Mother discovered that the Weaver Girl had not returned to heaven. She opened the heavenly realm and saw that her granddaughter had married and had children on earth. She was immediately furious."

"He immediately sent heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the Weaver Girl. The moment the Weaver Girl saw the heavenly soldiers, her eyes were red."

"She immediately accused the cowherd of his shameless behavior. The celestial general was about to kill him, but the old cow blocked his attack."

"The generals discovered that this old bull was of great importance, so they dared not touch them again."

"The Weaver Girl only wanted to return home quickly, but before they reached Heaven, they heard the Cowherd's voice calling them. Turning around, she saw that the Cowherd was carrying his two children in a basket."

"He flew up to the sky wearing the hide of an old cow. The Weaver Girl was terrified. Fortunately, the Queen Mother arrived in time and drew a line of the Milky Way with her golden hairpin."

"The Cowherd and his children were trapped on the other side of the Milky Way. The Weaver Girl finally breathed a sigh of relief. But when she heard the children calling for their mother, she felt a headache."

"Back in the Heavenly Palace, the Weaver Girl reported the reason. The Queen Mother gave her the Love Potion, which she drank without hesitation."

The whole family listened with great interest. Mother Qiu then said, "If that's the case, why is there also the Qiqiao Festival on July 7th? It's said that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet on that day."

"The original intention of the Qiqiao Festival was to make women more clever and skillful, and to promote love."

"In my daughter's opinion, it's a good thing that the Weaver Girl is still sober and not obsessed with love. Then the Cowherd is a despicable villain."

Qiu Hanqing nodded in agreement and glanced at Chu Hongyun who was wiping his sister's hair.

"Hey, why are you wiping my hair?" Qiu Yinong turned her head and saw Chu Hongyun standing behind her.

"Huh? I thought you asked Yun to wipe your hair."

Mother Qiu really thought that it was Qiu Yinong's instruction. Although she felt it was inappropriate, there was no one else at home at the moment and there was nothing wrong with it, so she didn't say anything.

"I just saw Yi'er's hair was still dripping with water, so I took the initiative." Chu Hongyun smiled gently.

Seeing this, Mother Qiu and the others didn't dare to blame her. Seeing that Qiu Yinong's hair was almost dry and she had finished her story, they said, "It's getting late. Go back and get some rest."

"Well, it's time to rest."

"Thank you, cousin." Qiu Yinong thanked him generously, and Chu Hongyun raised his eyebrows.

"It's okay, go back and rest!"

Qiu Yinong nodded, stood up and went back to the room.

The next morning, before dawn, Qiu Hanqing went out, and Chu Hongyun stood in the yard.

"Why are you up so early?" Qiu Hanqing looked at him curiously.

Chu Hongyun turned around and looked at Qiu Hanqing: "I can't sleep, getting up and watching the sunrise is a very elegant thing to do."

"You seem to be in a good mood." Qiu Hanqing said sarcastically.

Chu Hongyun didn't argue with him. Qiu Hanqing walked up to him and said, "Mr. Liang, although you have called my parents aunt and uncle these days, you know who you are."

"My daughter Yi'er is still young, so please don't set your sights on her. We are just ordinary farmers and don't want to get involved in your noble feuds."

"You worry too much." As soon as Chu Hongyun said this, Qiu Hanqing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Chu Hongyun spoke next.

"If I really want to marry this little girl, I will definitely clear all obstacles for her and won't let anyone defile her eyes."

"Qiu Jia Erlang, you worry too much. Love is something that won't happen unless you stop it."

"Have you forgotten the story the little girl told me yesterday? She's not the kind of person who's confused and foolish. That's exactly why she attracts me."

"I can't control her thoughts and feelings. If she really doesn't feel the same way about me in the future, I won't force her. I'll just treat her like my own sister and cherish her."

"But if she shows affection for me in the future, I won't back down even if the Queen Mother comes."

Qiu Hanqing looked at Chu Hongyun and was shocked by his expression and words.

It took him a while to recover his composure. "It's indeed as you said. If you can really do that, it's fine for me to admit you. But as you said, it all depends on my family's wishes."

"Well, be careful when you go up the mountain." Chu Hongyun was not going to continue this topic.

Qiu Hanqing nodded and said before leaving: "It's still a bit chilly in April. You haven't recovered yet, so you should go back to the house early."

After Qiu Hanqing left, Chu Hongyun closed the door again, looked at the sky, and turned back to the house.
