Chapter 28 Praying for Rain.



Zhou Dawei was immediately delighted. "Rongrong, you're so skillful! These two hair ribbons are so beautifully braided. I'll definitely wear them when I get married."

Oh no, the carp spirit has brought out some bad stuff again!

Long Sisi stared at the two hair ribbons, but couldn't see anything unusual. When Zhou Dawei saw her staring at them, he handed them over.

"Sisi likes it too?"

"It looks good." Long Sisi touched the headband, then touched her older brother. Strange, why wasn't he reacting?

Is it possible that the carp spirit was frightened and thus learned its lesson?

"If you like it, get closer to your sister Rongrong and ask her to make one for you."

Zhuang Rongrong looked at Long Sisi with a smug expression, "Sisi, if you want one, I'll make one for you another day."

Long Sisi ignored her, but Xiaobai disagreed and snarled at her fiercely.

Call me Princess Sister? This little stinky fish isn't afraid of shortening its lifespan!

Zhuang Rongrong was startled and forced a smile.

Zhou Dawei liked it more and more as he looked at it. He thought it would look absolutely gorgeous on Xiaohua's head. He was so excited that he couldn't help but praise, "Rongrong's craftsmanship is really good."

"This is just a small token of my wish for Brother Dawei and Sister-in-law Xiaohua to have a long and happy marriage and have a baby soon."

This auspicious remark pleased Madam Qin.

For the first time ever, she picked up a piece of meat and said with a smile, "Eat more to nourish your body."

"Thank you, Aunt Qin." Zhuang Rongrong was deeply moved, and her voice trembled with emotion. "Aunt Qin is so kind to me."

Suddenly, a piece of fatty meat appeared in the bowl.

Zhou Erqian chuckled and said, "I'm good to you too, Rongrong. Eat more and gain some weight."

"Erqian, you put meat on Rongrong's plate, why didn't you put meat on Sisi's plate?" the old lady suddenly said.

Zhuang Rongrong's face stiffened. This old lady can't stand seeing her being pampered, can she?

Zhou Erqian glanced at Long Sisi and saw that her two big eyes were as bright as glass beads, and her chubby little face was rosy. She was looking at him as if she was waiting for him to feed her.

Suddenly, the image of a little rabbit popped into his mind.

Although that brat is no good, she's incredibly beautiful, even cuter and more charming than Rongrong.

Zhou Erqian silently tossed a piece of meat over, saying, "Here, I'll pick out a piece of lean meat for you. Look how fat you are!"

Although Erguoguo said she had gained weight, Long Sisi was still very happy, her cheerful voice as crisp as a bell.

"Thank you, Erguoguo!"

Zhou Erqian snorted and awkwardly picked at the rice in his bowl, inwardly complaining about how loud the girl's voice was, but he couldn't help but smile.

When the old lady spoke, everyone sensibly put meat on Sisi's plate, and even Zhuang Rongrong, in order to show that she was sensible, put some on her plate as well.

But she picked up a piece of fatty meat, which Long Sisi really disliked.

She didn't want to eat, and Xie Yan guessed what the little monster was thinking, so he used his chopsticks to throw the fatty meat on the ground.

Instantly, Zhuang Rongrong's eyes reddened.

Is Brother Yan... disgusted with her?

"Rongrong, you can sleep in the same room as me and Lao Wu tonight. I'll give you my bed and sleep with Lao Wu!"

She was thinking about how to gain attention when Zhou Erqian suddenly interrupted her, looking at her excitedly.

Madam Qin frowned. "She's a girl, she can't sleep in the same room as you two boys. Rongrong will sleep with me tonight, and Sisi will sleep with Grandma."

Tuesday, Qianqian became listless.

Zhuang Rongrong loosened her grip. No rush. Tomorrow, she would pray for rain. Brother Yan would definitely look at her with new eyes, and the Zhou family would surely adopt her!

She's waiting for them to come and fawn over her!

The village chief was busy with the rain-making ritual, and the altar was already set up as soon as the sun rose.

Zhuang Rongrong got up early and dug her out of the ruins. She saw the new clothes she had worn for the New Year, carrying the red cloth bag, and followed the village chief, walking around the village with gongs and drums.

The bigger and more enthusiastic the rainmaking ritual, the better.

As long as she creates hype, she will definitely become a highly sought-after prize. Even if the Zhou family is blind, there are other families; she will not suffer.

What's more, that important person is also coming.

"Everyone, get up quickly and come out to the open space in front of my house to wait. Rongrong from our village has asked the Bodhisattva to bring rain to our village!"

The village chief shouted at the top of his lungs.

Everyone rushed to the village chief's house. They had never seen what it was like to pray for rain, and they were really curious whether they could get rain.

The goddess of fortune has been summoned; perhaps it will truly bring down sweet rain. They should take a good look at this miracle.

"Mother, shall we go and see?"

As Qin stood at the gate of the courtyard watching people rushing towards the village chief's house, she couldn't help but wonder how Rongrong, that girl, would pray for rain.

"Look, I want to see if that red cloth bag really has that much power. It's all just hype."

The old lady got up quickly and left. Zhou Erqian had already run off, and Qin Shi followed behind the old lady with Sisi and Lao Wu in her hands.

As for Zhou Dawei, nothing can stop him from building a house and getting married!

The altar wasn't large, but it was considered a grand ceremony in Peach Blossom Village, a poor village.

Zhuang Rongrong followed them around the village and then returned. The entire village, young and old, was gathered around the altar.

She stood on the altar and nodded to the village chief.

Zhuang Rongrong placed the red cloth bag on the altar, knelt before it, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and was very devout.

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose.

The villagers looked at each other, thinking that it was really going to rain, and knelt down on the ground in prayer.

Long Sisi stared at the gloomy sky, a hint of worry rising on her small eyebrows.

"It looks like it's really going to rain," Qin said with a sigh. Upon hearing this, the old lady chimed in.

"He's got some skills, he's just unlucky."

His house collapsed and his mother died; to put it nicely, he had bad luck; to put it bluntly, he was a nemesis.

"Does Sisi think something's wrong?"

Xie Yan kept staring at the little one, and when he saw her expression change, his gaze also darkened.

Long Sisi not only felt something was wrong, it felt like something was really wrong!

How could she, a mere mortal reincarnated from a carp spirit, possibly summon wind and rain?

Unless she's on some kind of drug.

Long Sisi looked up at the sky and saw no barrier.

The second and fifth sons didn't have any dark spots on their faces, nor did their mother and grandmother.

So whose luck did she absorb?

Suddenly, Qin pointed to a spot and laughed, "Oh, I see Xiaohua. Dawei isn't here yet. He doesn't even want to look at his wife anymore."

Yes, it's a big pot, a big pot.

Big Pot accepted the carp spirit's hairband!

Long Sisi grabbed the hem of the Great Demon King's clothes, somewhat anxiously, "Fifth Brother, I want to go home."

I need to go back and check on the Fifth Pot!

Xie Yan knew something was wrong. She picked up the little one and prepared to squeeze out, but Qin grabbed her arm.

"What are you two doing? The rain is about to come, it's at its most exciting moment, don't you want to watch?"

Xie Yan frowned. "Mother, let's go home."

"Mother, Sisi needs to pee."

The little guy squirmed, his eyelids slightly red, looking so anxious that he seemed to really be unable to hold it in any longer.

Qin let go of his hand and instructed, "Find a place to take care of it, and come back quickly, or it will be bad if you miss it. Fifth brother, take good care of your sister."
