Chapter 32 Yao Family
Aunt Wang stared blankly at the little bumpkin under the plum tree, and then at the tall and slender figure, her eyes burning.
Time flies so fast. Fifteen years have passed. The child who was kindly saved by the eldest sister is now able to stand on the doorstep, treat people, and come here to burn incense and chant sutras instead of the eldest sister...
After reciting the sutra, the two of them and the dog left the green reed swamp.
The next day, Baima Village held a flowing water banquet.
At the beginning of noon, the Yao family arrived at Feng's house in an ox cart.
Four people came. Mr. Yao brought a son and two grandsons, as well as a bag of rice, a can of sesame oil and two cans of sesame paste.
Feng Chuchen and his brother welcomed him out of the house.
Feng Buji's loud voice was full of joy, "Uncle, uncle, eldest cousin, second cousin."
Mr. Yao laughed a few times and sighed, "Zhi Niang has suffered all her life, and she will have all the glory after her death. It's a pity that she didn't enjoy it."
"Zhi Niang" refers to aunt, a title that Feng Chuchen and her siblings rarely heard, and felt warm in their hearts.
It seems that I feel that my aunt has elders and sometimes is weak.
Mr. Yao is in his sixties, with a white beard and white hair, a slightly hunched back, and bright eyes.
He looked at Feng Chuchen with admiration in his eyes, "A good boy, he has the backbone of a mother-in-law. Mother-in-law is not afraid of hardships, and neither are you."
The eldest cousin held Feng Buji's face and smiled, "Oh, brother Buji has actually gained weight, it's rare."
Uncle Yao said, "The pledge mother once said that when she pays off her debt, the descendants of the Feng family will be better off. Alas, it is true."
The second cousin came over, picked up Feng Buji and threw him into the sky, which made Feng Buji laugh out loud, followed by a violent cough.
Uncle Yao was so angry that he slapped his son several times and cursed, "You bastard, don't let your cousin get drunk. Do you think he is as strong as you?"
The second cousin chuckled and put Feng Buji on the ground.
Several people entered the room, and Feng Chuchen personally poured tea for them, talked about the grand occasion the day before yesterday, and showed them the imperial edict and the emperor's personal letter.
Those who were so frightened quickly knelt down and kowtowed, looking over and over with admiration.
"Is this written by the Holy Spirit himself? Glory."
"Some of them will blow in the future."
"Hey, I'll never finish it in my lifetime."
……
At noon, the flowing water feast begins.
There are square tables everywhere in the village, and villagers line up to eat the flowing water banquet.
Zhao Yuanwai, Zhao Lizheng and his father, Patriarch Zhao, Liu Lizheng from the neighboring village, Mr. Li from the neighboring village, and Mr. Yao, several distinguished guests, accompanied by Feng Buji and Feng Changfu, sat at the main table.
Feng Chuchen had privately told Feng Buji not to eat meat no matter how greedy he was.
All the Feng family members from Baima Village came, and more than a dozen Feng family members from Hekou Village also came shamelessly.
Although they are not from Baima Village, they are related to the Feng family, so they can enjoy this flowing feast.
Some villagers ridiculed them, "Oh, you have the nerve to come and not rob the orphan's family's property?"
Those people blushed and defended, "Don't talk nonsense, we were forced by Feng Qi to fill up the number, I didn't rob it."
"Hehe, when Feng Qi beat Buji's nephew, I helped him."
……
Feng Chuchen saw that there was no one from Feng Taigong's family, so he just let it go. If that family dared to come, she would definitely ask Zhao Lizheng to drive them out.
A clan member said to Feng Changfu quietly with a blushing face, "My grandpa is an elder of the Feng family. Let Mr. Buji invite him to a banquet in person. We will give him a step down so that we can get along easily in the future..."
He didn't want to say that it was Taigong Feng's son who asked him to say it before he came.
Feng Changfu shook his head and said, "I don't dare to say this. If I want to say it, you can say it."
The man looked at the big, shiny meat on the table and said, "I'm afraid I can't eat the meat."
After dinner, several members of the Yao family went home.
Feng Chuchen gave them a few pieces of cloth and two cubes of brown sugar. The two siblings took them to the entrance of the village and watched the bullock cart gradually go away.
As soon as I got home, Feng Changfu's wife came.
She whispered that some tribesmen wanted Feng Buji to invite Feng Taigong to have a dinner, but her man refused.
Feng Chuchen looked at Zhou.
Both of them are smart people, and they are the only people she wants to win over.
Feng Chuchen sneered and said, "It's a good thing he didn't tell me. If he did, he would be kicked out too. Thank you, aunt. I know that you and Uncle Futang are the only ones in this clan who don't have those bad intentions. I will remember your love."

The next day, news about Feng Taigong's illness spread around the area.
Almost everyone was scolding him for being stupid, greedy, bad, and unable to see the situation clearly.
It was obviously a great thing for the entire Feng family, but they took themselves out of this great thing. If he didn't push the two orphans away, he would be the one with the longest face in the clan, and the benefits would be inevitable.
That morning, Feng Chuchen wrapped the six hundred silver coins in two cotton-padded jackets, wrapped them in cloth and tied them to her and Shaoyao respectively, and took the oxcart into the city at the entrance of the village early in the morning.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Her excuse was that she had finished her brother's medicine and she was going to Dechuntang to buy medicine and deliver some mountain goods to Dr. Fang.
After ten people were seated in the car, it headed towards the capital.
There were not only people from Baima Village, but also people from Hekou Village on the bus.
Villagers generally walk to Beijing, and only those from wealthy families or whose things are too heavy take a car.
When we stopped at the West City Gate, the coachman, Uncle Qin, said, "Shen Shichu will return to the village on time here. Don't wait when it is late."
Feng Chuchen and Shaoyao went to Beifu Street. He went to the bank to exchange the six hundred taels of silver into six banknotes, and then went to the tooth shop.
There are only two houses for sale in Bei'anfang.
One is a two-bedroom house. It is large and in a good location. It costs seven hundred taels. There is no need to buy such a good house.
Four hundred and twenty taels each, but it was too close to the city gate and the noisiest place in Bei'anfang, so Feng Chuchen didn't take a fancy to it.
Buying a house is a big deal, so you have to take another look.
Feng Chuchen went to Xiangyu Zhai and bought two pairs of blue and white porcelain vases for sixty taels of silver.
Tomorrow, ask Feng Buji to give them to Zhao Yuan's family and Zhao Lizheng's family respectively to thank them for their help.
Especially for member Zhao, she didn't want to owe them three taels of silver.
At the end of August and the beginning of September, the tenants successively delivered their rent to the Feng family.
After paying taxes and selling part of it, the rent left was enough for them to live on for a few months.
Feng Chuchen really felt this when he had enough food at home.
Feng Buji's health improved again. I have stopped eating Ganoderma lucidum and insist on drinking goat milk every day.
On the fourth day of September, Zhao Lizheng and Feng Changfu came to Feng's house with a drawing.
They have already hired people to design the archway, and the next step is to buy materials and start construction.
The main body of the archway consists of two pillars and a third floor, which is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than building a house in the countryside. Work will be suspended again in the coldest mid-winter season, and it will probably be completed in March next year.
So, even if you buy a house in the city, you will not be able to move until March.
During this period, Aunt Wang went to three more homes to deliver babies.
Twice with pinellia and once with peony.
Two infants survived smoothly, but one infant died.
Even if the nurse dies, Wen Po’s money must still be paid.
After taking the large amount of money handed over by Aunt Wang, Feng Chuchen sighed secretly.
There was no way to go to the dead infant Feng Chuchen, because the umbilical cord was severely wrapped around his neck and he had been strangled in his belly.
