Chapter 730 Love is as deep as the sea
Although Xiao Nuobao noticed it, she didn't point it out.
No matter what the two grandfathers were arguing about, she wanted to give them some time, and when they wanted to say it, she would say it herself.
So, Xiao Nuobao pulled Feng's sleeve and said sympathetically, "Mom, let's talk about these things later. Anyway, it's getting late. Let's stay in the manor tonight and have dinner with everyone."
Feng was still in high spirits, so of course she agreed, "Okay, okay, there's still some time. Second daughter-in-law, Cuicui, is there any dry food on the manor? Otherwise, let's go and steam some steamed buns and eat them together tonight."
Soon, the women were happy and went into the house to knead dough and chat.
The village chief and Old Li moved two small horses and sat not far away, looking at everything with lust.
In late autumn, the days were getting shorter.
The children didn't play outside for long before the sunset dimmed and the stars climbed up into the night sky.
The sound of collecting farm tools rang out from every household in the village.
The women stood at the door and only needed to shout "If you don't come back for dinner, you'll have to eat fried meat with shoe soles!" More than a dozen children would run home from all directions.
In the Jiang family's house, dinner was already served.
A large bowl of steamed buns just out of the pot was placed, emitting white hot steam, as if it was about to rise into the clouds.
Little Nuobao knows how to eat. He grabbed the smallest steamed bun and used a spoon to split it in half.
Cut the middle of the hot steamed bun to make it softer inside. Then he put some crispy meat inside, scooped a spoonful of sour and spicy radish, and a chopstick of chili sauce.
It was full and became a "meat bun"!
Little Nuobao grabbed the big bun with his little hands, put it to his mouth with difficulty, and took a big bite. He felt satisfied instantly, not to mention how delicious it was!
The village chief didn't have much appetite at first, but when he saw that the little fat girl's face was bulging with food, like a little squirrel, he became hungry all of a sudden, and quickly followed suit and broke the steamed bun in the middle.
"What kind of tricky way of eating is that?" Mrs. Feng looked at him and didn't know
whether to laugh or cry. "The village chief and your second brother have learned it. Soon, everyone at the table will be infected by you." The village chief had an appetite, so he simply took out the Tan Nuerhong and served the wine.
Mrs. Feng turned around and said, "Second brother, you are the only one who can drink in our family today
. Why don't you accompany your village chief uncle and Uncle Li to have a drink?" Jiang Fenghu waved his hand hurriedly, "Normally, I should accompany the elders to drink, but the last batch of grain harvesters are coming tonight. I can't be drunk. I have to appease the people in the farm."
Upon hearing this, the village chief stopped pouring half of the wine pot and showed a look of relief.
"Okay, okay, although wine can relieve sorrow, it can also cause trouble. Feng Hu doesn't want to be greedy for the sake of everyone, which shows that he is responsible. In this way, even if I'm not here one day, I can rest assured."
Not here in the future?
Feng was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about, village chief? You are not in our village. Do you want to go somewhere else?"
Since the words have come to this, the village chief glanced at Old Li and sighed, "Okay, let's not hide it. Let's tell everyone about it."
The village chief put down his chopsticks, tilted his head and smiled, "We two old guys have been thinking these two days that we have been in Beijing for so long and have had enough fun, but fallen leaves must return to their roots. It's time to return to our village and spend the rest of our lives in peace and stability."
Old Li was silent for a long time, then he sniffed and finally spoke.
"Yes, before I came out, I wanted to stay with you for half a year while I was still able to move, but before I knew it, almost a year has passed. Even if we are reluctant, it's time for us to go back to our old nest." Old Li was sad and didn't dare to raise his head.
People get old.
They will miss home after all.
But separation is like a knife, cutting countless wounds in their hearts.
Hearing this, the Jiang family was very surprised.
Jiang Fenghu hurriedly got up and wanted to keep them, "I didn't say that you two can't go back to your hometown, but you don't have to be too anxious. If you miss our villagers, we can send a team to pick up a few of them and come over to accompany you two to relieve your boredom. How about that?"
Feng was silent for a moment, but soon, she held Jiang Fenghu's hand.
She had known for a long time that it was not easy for the two old people to leave home, and that there would always be a day of separation.
But she did not expect that the day of separation would come so hastily...
However, the village chief and Old Li were indeed old.
If the Jiang family forced them to stay for their own personal feelings, that would be inhumane.
Feng's eyes were red, and after calming down, she said, "Nuobao, Lao Er, Lao Er's wife, there are only a few of us here today. You pick up your teacups and let's toast our two elders together."
"You two elders can rest assured that the doors of Xiaoliu Village and my Jiang Mansion are always open to you. Whenever you miss us, come and visit us more often." Feng said with emotion.
Little Nuobao swallowed the unchewed steamed bread, and his watery big eyes were unconsciously covered with a layer of moisture.
The two grandfathers came when they just bought Xiaoliu Village and the village was still lacking everything.
It was they who worked hard to help take care of everything in the village, making Xiaoliu Village a warm place and the warmest place to relieve their homesickness during their time in the capital.
So the little fat girl raised the tea bowl with both hands and bowed three times to the two grandfathers.
"Grandpa Village Chief, Grandpa Li, Daliu Village is your root and our eternal home. Don't worry, my family will not forget our roots. Even if it is inconvenient for you to come to Beijing in the future, we will go back to see you often." Xiao Nuobao sniffed.
Seeing everyone in tears, the village chief wiped his eyes and choked up, "Okay, okay, you are all good children. Your words make grandpa's heart sweeter than honey."
So, the return journey was scheduled for seven days later.
The village chief and Lao Li had secretly arranged the convoy back to Yuncheng when they went out a few days ago.
Every day together from then on was incomparably precious.
So Xiao Nuobao simply asked Madam Zheng to pack a few clothes and live in the manor while the village chief and others were still there, so that everyone could still have a lively few days.
Life in the countryside is quieter than in the city.
Every morning, Xiao Nuobao crawled out of his little quilt listening to the crowing of chickens raised by each family.
Sometimes, if you get up early, you can see Cuicui and Ali hiding in the small flower pavilion, secretly holding hands.
Xiao Nuobao just felt it was a pity. If only the fourth brother was here, she would draw both of them and tell gossip to her father!
However, the leisurely days without the smoke of gunpowder will eventually come to an end.
At the Li Mansion, after a few days of silence, some people were obviously getting restless.
In the afternoon, Feng wanted to go back to the mansion to get some old ginseng. She wanted to make ginseng pills for Doctor Wu, and then ask the village chief to take them to the villagers.
As soon as the carriage turned a corner, she saw a tall and thin maid pacing in front of the Jiang Mansion.
When Feng got off the carriage, Cui'er, the maid of the Li Mansion, reacted and hurried over to pay her respects.
