The Farmer's Daughter is the Favorite of the Family

Invitation

Qibao breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the front hall, thinking to herself that children and such were the most troublesome, and she was not willing to play with a little kid.

Just as she entered the front hall, she heard the voice of her second uncle's wife ringing out: "Where did my Niuniu go? How come this girl ran away without a trace in a single turn?"

Qibao immediately explained: "Niuniu is at the door while other children in the village are playing!"

"This girl is just unrecognizable, and she didn't say anything when she left."

As soon as the words fell, a little girl with tears and snot running down her face ran in and immediately jumped into the arms of Mrs. Li's sister-in-law.

"Niuniu, why are you crying here?"

Niuniu sobbed and replied: "They pulled my pigtails!"

Xiaoliu also ran over at this time. Seeing Niuniu crying like this, he was afraid that his parent would scold him, so he quickly explained: "We just touched it, we didn't use any force."

But Niuniu didn't want to play with these boys anymore. She ran to Qibao, still in tears, grabbed Qibao's clothes and said: "Playing with my sister."

Mrs. Wang watched from the side and said: "Qibao, Niuniu is still young, so just play with your sister for a while."

"All right......"

Qibao never thought that a little girl could give her such a headache, so she had no choice but to pull Niuniu out of the door.

Niuniu stopped crying. From time to time she would pull two weeds from the roadside and give them to Qibao, looking at Qibao with an innocent smile.

Qibao looked at this little girl and also felt quite cute and adorable, reaching out her hand to touch her little face, which didn't have much meat.

Qibao took the little girl into her room and asked her to sit on a stool. She then turned behind the screen and took out a few large strawberries from the space.

She walked up to Niuniu and said: "This is for you to eat, but you can't tell others that sister gave you delicious food. This is a secret between us, do you understand?"

Niuniu's soft and waxy voice recalled: "Yes, I won't tell anyone, not even my mother, not my brother." But her eyes were fixed on the strawberry.

Qibao took one and put it in her palm and said: "Eat it!"

Niuniu took the strawberry, opened her mouth wide and took a bite. The sweet and sour juice overflowed in her mouth.

Niuniu narrowed her eyes and said vaguely: "It's so delicious!" The juice from the strawberry flowed out of her mouth, and Qibao took out a handkerchief to wipe it with her.

Niuniu immediately became even more happy: "Sister is good, I like sister."

Qibao smiled when she heard this, she didn't hate children or anything...

Qibao felt that it was really too noisy outside, so she took Niuniu to play in her room. Niuniu was also very obedient and would not touch anything she was curious about. She was very sensible and never cried or made trouble.

It wasn't until it was almost time to eat that Mrs. Wang came over to find Qibao and led them to eat.

Qibao came to the front hall. There were many tables set up in the open space in front of the house. They were all borrowed from nearby villagers' houses. Everyone was now seated and waiting for the food to be served.

After the old man gave an order, Mrs. Wang and the women from the village who came to help began to serve the dishes.

When the dishes were all served, the old man picked up his wine glass and spoke in a loud voice, and everyone gradually became quiet.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming to my Xu family today. Today's banquet is specially organized for my family Wenwu and the village chief's family Shitou. Both children are excellent and can get such good results in this exam. To be able to get such a good result in this examination, the two children are still studying in the academy today, and I can't personally thank all the elders one by one, so please bear with me!"

"What are you talking about, old man! The child's education is the most important thing, we are here today to dip our hands in the joy. It's also the first time that Xujia Village has produced two scholars, and with the skills of the two children, they will be able to pass the Xiucai exam in the future, so we're waiting for it!"

"Yes, Wenwu and Shitou are capable, and the future will be bright!" A village elder shook his head and said, with his hands still behind his back and his eyes closed.

Qibao almost couldn't hold back when she looked at him, this village old man even started biting off more than he could chew, and she didn't know who he learned this stance from.
