A little day of the world

chapter 60-61

Returning the courtesy

The village head’s house is also one of the few blue brick and tile houses in the village. Their yard is very large and is one of the best houses in the village. Cao Xiangnan brought Qi Wanfeng, who was holding the child in his hand, to the village head’s house.

The door of the yard was open. There was a crabapple tree planted in the yard. Cao Xiangnan saw the village head sitting under the crabapple tree at the door. He knocked on the door and called out, "Grandpa Qi."

"Hmm?" The man sitting there leaning against the chair was about to fall asleep with his eyes half closed. When he heard someone calling him, he opened his eyes, looked around, and asked, "Who is calling me?"

"It's me, I'm Cao Jia Silang." Cao Xiangnan responded.

"Oh, it's Cao Jia Silang. What do you want to see me for? Don't stand at the door, come in." The village head saw the family of three standing at the door. The village head recognized Cao Jia Silang at a glance. He was also happy to see him and smiled.

"Is the injury on your foot healed?" asked the village head.

"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Qi. Xiangnan's foot injury is almost healed. The doctor said he will be able to recover in a few days." Cao Xiangnan took Qi Wanfeng in after getting a response, and answered the questions of the head of the village respectfully.

"That's good, that's good."

"Grandpa Qi." Qi Wanfeng also respected the head of the village. He was holding a food box in his hand, which was food brought from home.

An An beside him called out obediently, "Hello, Grandpa Qi."

On the way here, he was taught by his mother to greet people obediently when he saw them, and he remembered it in his heart. After raising the skinny and small child for a period of time, now the little face has grown a little meat, the skin is not so dark, and the appearance looks much cuter than before.

"Hey, so good." The head of the village looked at the child with love in his eyes and reached out to touch the child's head. He also saw this child in the Cao family compound that day. Seeing the family of three standing in front of him, he was also happy in his heart.

"Sit down, no need to stand." The head of the village waved for them to sit down. Seeing the food box in Qi Wanfeng's hand and smelling the fragrance, he asked, "What is this?"

Cao Xiangnan took the food box from Qi Wanfeng's hand, put it on the table, and said, "This is the food Xiangnan prepared for Grandpa Qi. Knowing that Grandpa Qi likes to drink a little wine, I also prepared two taels of wine for you."

Before going to bed last night, I discussed with Qi Wanfeng that I would come to the head of the village today, and I prepared things today. At the beginning, the head of the village sent him two taels of silver, and he never forgot it in his heart. Originally, this gift should have been returned long ago. Earlier, he was in poor health, and later he was busy with the stall business, so he only had time to come now.

"Hey, you kid..." The head of the village looked disapproving. Knowing that their life was not easy, there was no need to waste this money.

"Brother Cao Gang and I opened a food stall in the town. This is the food we sell at our stall." Cao Xiangnan lifted the lid, and on top was the rice noodles sold at their stall.

He came here today for a purpose. No one in the village knew about the food business in the town except for their families. He came here to say hello to the head of the village.

Although it was clearly written when the family was divided that they would live their own lives and have nothing to do with the Cao family compound in the future, they could not resist shamelessness. In this era, the word "filial piety" can crush people to death. He needs someone with status in the village to stand on his side, so that he can help him say a few words.
