Chapter 124: 125_1 Chapter 124: 125_1 “We’ll go hunting up the mountains again tomorrow, to stock up on at for the Spring Festival,” Brother Ye said.
“What about the first to the tenth day?
The Spring Festival lasts ten days.”
“We’ll go and roam around,” Brother Ye said.
“Oh.”
It was now Nan Quanyou’s turn to hold the ancestral worship, so he called Nan Feng over, and she said to Brother Ye: “I’ll go to worship the ancestors first.”
“Go ahead,” Brother Ye replied nonchalantly.
…
After worshiping the ancestors, they ca back at dusk.
Nan Quanyou slaughtered a chicken, and Nan Feng cleaned up the house.
Just before dinner, the Clan Chief really ca.
The Clan Chief’s na was Nan ng, who was in his forties.
He ran a shoe sole business in town and didn’t co back to the village often.
The villagers regarded him remarkable because few people in the village run a business in town, so they usually respect him.
As the Clan Chief was coming, Nan Quanyou naturally had to serve him with courtesy, preparing so seeds and peanuts, and even invited Nan ng to stay for dinner.
Nan ng asked, “Is there any wine?
We are of the sa generation, consider us brothers.
Let’s have a good al today.”
The two jars of wine were hard-won by Nan Feng from the town.
Nan Quanyou was reluctant to part with them, but he had to be generous since he had a guest, so he had Nan Feng pour out a pot.
While eating chicken, Nan ng said, “We are all from the sa clan, so let’s cut to the chase.
It hasn’t been easy for you and your daughter these years.
Nan Yuanfei told about your situation.
I’ve been busy in town and don’t know much about your family affairs, and the other clan mbers didn’t report to , so I haven’t visited your house.”
Nan Feng was pouring wine for them, thinking to herself, everyone in the village knows about our situation, how co Nan ng doesn’t?
Isn’t he just selling shoe soles in town?
It’s not as if he’s completely cut off from the village.
Nan ng gnawed on a chicken leg, “Here’s the thing, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and as per tradition, our clan is holding a reunion dinner.
You guys must co this year, or we will beco strangers.”
Nan Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Ang, we can’t eat the reunion dinner for free, right?
Do we need to contribute sothing?”
“Yes, the reunion dinner will have chicken, duck, and fish.
Each family will contribute a little to make it plentiful,” Nan ng replied as he downed another cup of wine.
Nan ng had already eaten more than half of the chicken they had= prepared for the ancestor worship, yet Nan Quanyou and Nan Feng hadn’t even touched the chopsticks.
Nan ng talked while drinking, his saliva and bits of at from his mouth flying around, which made Nan Feng lose all appetite.
Nan Feng didn’t care about being polite anymore, “Uncle Ang, here’s the thing, my father and I prepared our New Year’s Eve dinner two days ago.
Your and Nan Yuanfei’s notice ca a bit late.
let’s do it next year.
Depending on the situation, we’ll gather next year.”
“You’ve already prepared?
That’s perfect!
You can bring your wine and at and vegetables to the clan gathering.
We can cook them together.
You don’t need to contribute money.
After all, you’re eating your own share.
Nan Feng, you can hunt, right?
Bring your ga as well.
It’s settled then!” Nan ng slapped the table and declared.
Nan Feng was quite determined too, and she kept a straight face, “Let’s talk about it next year!”
“Then, pour so more wine?” Nan ng shook his empty wine jug.
“It’s gone, all drunk up!” Nan Feng said.
“Oh, it’s all gone…” Nan ng then speeded up eating the chicken.
Seeing the plate of chicken about to be emptied, Nan Feng grew anxious.
She didn’t mind not eating herself, but her father couldn’t go without eating.
She quickly grabbed the remaining pieces of chicken and put them all into Nan Quanyou’s bowl.
