Chapter 502: Qiqiao Festival



There was still a little light in the west. It was the busy farming season, and everyone had some free time only after dinner. Cao Ashan heard that his fourth son and his family had returned, so he came over after dinner.

"Dad, have you eaten?" Cao Xiangnan invited them into the house, poured tea, and sat down at the opposite seat.

He did not invite the children to come over and call him Grandpa. Since you did not admit that those were your grandchildren in your hearts, there was no need for him to force the children to come here to see your grandfather's face. He himself was reluctant to do so!

"I've eaten." Cao Ashan nodded and said, "I heard that you guys came back from the town, so I came to see you." Since Si'er moved to the town, he hasn't been to the town, so naturally he hasn't seen Si'er for a long time.

"Oh, Dad, are you feeling better?" Last time, he asked a doctor to see someone, and Cao Xiangnan forgot to visit his father because he was busy afterwards. Now that he has seen people, he seems to be in good spirits, so he shouldn't be seriously ill. "

All right, all right." Cao Ashan replied.

"That's good, how much land did you plant this year, and have you harvested the crops?" Cao Xiangnan hasn't had time to go to the compound since he came back, so he hasn't asked his father about these things.

Speaking of the family land, Cao Adie sighed, "Your eldest brother's land is cultivated by himself, and the rest is cultivated here." The second son's leg was lame, and later he owed money for gambling and had two fingers chopped off. The second son was not a hard-working person and was unwilling to work in the fields. The youngest son took his wife and children to the town to do some small business. He cultivated the family land by himself. The eldest son and the eldest son's family went to work for his fourth son. They had no time to tend their own land, let alone the eldest son to help him with the work in the fields.

"Then you decide when to harvest the grain at home. I'll hire two people to help you. I don't have time to go over here either. It's better to harvest the grain in the fields as soon as possible." Cao Xiangnan didn't say much. He didn't have time to go over here, so he naturally didn't have time to help. He could only spend some money to hire someone to help his father.

Although it was separated, it was clearly written on the paper that he had nothing to do with the compound after the separation, but after all, he was occupying someone else's son's body. Some things are over and done with. Cao Xiangnan didn't mind fulfilling his responsibilities as a son to help with the fields.

Otherwise, he would be accused of being unfilial and unfraternal, and he would be drowned in the saliva of the villagers.

It was getting dark outside, and Cao Ashan did not stay with his fourth son for long. He sat down, drank a glass of water, said a few words, and then got up and went back. Cao Xiangnan also got up, sent the man outside, and said, "Dad, take care."

Qi Wanfeng stood beside her husband, and the two of them looked at the figure in the distance.

The children in the yard were making noises and laughing.

In this weather, everyone used well water to bathe, and it was very comfortable to bathe in the cool water.

Several children dragged a large basin to the well to fetch water, and the boys took off their clothes and ran into the water, each with their bottoms naked. Baoer took advantage of no one noticing and ran into the water without taking off his clothes. Lele, who was standing behind, was too late to pull him out, and his eyes were dumbfounded.

This little fool! Do you know that you have to take off your clothes when you take a bath?

"Shame on you..." The two boys covered their faces and shouted as they ran back to the house.

Aning saw it and hurriedly grabbed Xiaobao to take off his clothes. The kid was making a fuss in the water, shouting "No, no", splashing water everywhere. "You have to take off your clothes before you can get down!" Aning had no choice.

"Hehe..." Seeing this, Qi Wanfeng couldn't help but laugh. The haze in his heart disappeared. He went over to help Aning and grabbed Xiaobao to take off his clothes. The two of them pulled him one by one and took off his clothes one by one before they took off all the kid's clothes.

Cao Xiangnan also laughed.

After resting at home for a day, Qi Wanfeng felt better the next day and went down to the fields to help with the work.

Aning followed behind. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and he did hard labor, but he never complained. He quite enjoyed this kind of life. Although it was hard, he was down-to-earth. This is how life should be. Working on the land with your own hands, eating a full stomach, and living every day is fulfilling.

The academy gave a busy farming holiday, so the children went home to help with the housework. You could see little figures helping with the work in the fields.

People in the village rushed to the fields to harvest crops one after another. The crops in the fields were harvested in large areas. Every year, spring sowing and autumn harvest are the busiest times, but even the busy people have smiles on their faces.

Qiqiao Festival on July 7th.

Dafeng also has the custom of celebrating the Qiqiao Festival. On this day, unmarried boys put on new clothes, and the boys dress up smartly and beautifully. When a boy meets a boy he likes, he will give the other party the hand-woven silk he has embroidered. If the other party accepts it, it means that the other party accepts his love. The

people in the village are more direct. If a boy from a certain family falls in love with a boy from another family, they will directly invite a matchmaker to go to the other party's home to propose marriage.

"Oh, today is the Qiqiao Festival?" If Wanfeng hadn't mentioned it, Cao Xiangnan would not have known what day it was today.

In the previous life, the Qiqiao Festival was Valentine's Day, not the day for unmarried boys in this era to go on blind dates. Since it is Valentine's Day, even though you are an old couple, can you be a little romantic?

But when I think of the little radishes at home, romance is a little far away from them!

Cao Xiangnan was thinking in his heart whether he could do something.

There was another thing that he had been thinking about for a long time. Until today, he felt that it was a good time. He needed to be more honest with Wanfeng and face it. He couldn't keep deceiving Wanfeng.

Aunt Liu asked the two boys at home what they thought, and then went to find the mistress.

Seeing Aunt Liu coming over with a look as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, Qi Wanfeng asked, "Auntie, do you have something to tell me? If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be hesitant. I'm not used to your behavior."

"Yes, there is something, so I'll just say it directly." Seeing the mistress nod, Aunt Liu told the mistress that he wanted to arrange a marriage for the two boys in his family. "So, Auntie has an unwelcome request. I would like to ask the mistress for a favor. Help find a marriage for the two boys in your family."

This meant that she was looking for him to be a matchmaker, so Qi Wanfeng smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Auntie, which family do you want me to go to to propose marriage to you?" Today happened to be the Qiqiao Festival, so this was also a good thing.

"It's Xiu'er and Yan'er." Aunt Liu asked the two boys and found out that usually the two boys worked for the old man and served the mistress. It

turned out that everyone knew each other. This time Xiu'er and Yan'er followed the mistress back to the old house. Aunt Liu saw the two boys and had some feelings for them. She asked the two boys and found out that the two boys had some feelings for her.

Taking advantage of the Qiqiao Festival today, Aunt Liu came to tell the mistress about this.

"Oh, it's Xiu and Yan." Qi Wanfeng suddenly realized that the two boys from the Liu family had taken a fancy to Jinxiu and Jinyan. He also knew the character of the little slave beside him. The two boys were good at doing things and had good personalities, which was not bad.

"I'll find out what Yan and Xiu think about this matter for you. If they also have such an idea, then this matter will..." Qi Wanfeng didn't dare to agree without hesitation. He didn't know what they were thinking. If they didn't agree, he couldn't force them. "

Oh, you agree, right?" Only if both of them like it, can this matter be accomplished.

"Come on, Auntie, thank you, mistress." Auntie Liu was very happy. She had never thought that the two boys in her family could get married. She was a burden to the family, but this was a blessing in disguise.

After getting the response from the mistress, Auntie Liu left happily.

Qi Wanfeng told her husband about this. Cao Xiangnan laughed when he knew about it, "These two boys are the first to get the moon because they are close to the water and the tower!" He also scolded the two boys with a smile.

However, he also said that the two boys of the Liu family were also old enough to get married. When the time comes, let their family get rid of slavery and stay in their home to serve. He forgot to tell Liu Guizhong about this matter when he was busy. Since Aunt Liu mentioned the marriage of his two boys, it would be best to let Wanfeng ask about it.

"You can ask Xiu'er and Yan'er what they think. I think the family can hold a wedding soon." Cao Xiangnan asked Wanfeng to ask the two brothers. He also meant that they should like each other, and Xiu'er and Yan'er should not be forced.

The two brothers are usually diligent in their work. This time, they came back to the village to work in the fields without any complaints. They are also efficient and hardworking.

Cao Xiangnan let Wanfeng handle these things. As a man, he couldn't interfere in these matters. As for himself, he went to prepare a surprise for his wife.

"So I want to ask what you two think about this matter." Qi Wanfeng asked Jinyan and Jinxiu, and saw that they were shy. The two brothers looked at each other, knelt down and said, "This matter is entirely up to Zhengjun." This meant that they agreed. "

Okay, then I will reply to Aunt Liu about this matter." It really fulfilled what her husband said. The family was going to be happy, and Qi Wanfeng was also very happy.

If it were in other families, the master would decide whether to give birth to a slave or not, and would not ask the slave's opinion. Jinyan and Jinxiu knew that they had entered a good family this time, and the mistress came to ask them in person what they thought. If they refused, they would be too ignorant, and they didn't dislike the brothers Liu Yuan and Liu Qiang.

They all served in the old man's house, and everyone saw them every now and then, and they all had a good impression of the two boys.

Qi Wanfeng turned around and told Aunt Liu about this, and asked him to ask someone to set a date for the formal engagement, so as not to let the two boys down.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely not let Xiu'er and Yan'er down." Aunt Liu responded happily, and left happily. I think she went back to discuss the engagement with her family, and the marriage of her two boys was settled.

Seeing the people who left happily, Qi Wanfeng also smiled.
