Chapter 26 Celebration
"Okay, let's all get on the oxcart! It's almost noon, don't keep your grandparents waiting!" Uncle Xu drove the oxcart back to Xujiacun after seeing that the children had settled down.

As soon as the ox cart arrived at the entrance of the village, I met several women who were returning from washing clothes by the river. Seeing Uncle Xu driving an ox cart back, they all curiously asked Uncle Xu, "Boss Xu, this ox cart is your new family." Did you buy it?" Before Uncle Xu could say anything, Qibao said first, "Auntie, we bought this bullock cart in town today!"

When the women heard this, they had envious looks on their faces and continued to ask, "It seems that your old Xu family has really made a fortune. Not only did they build a house, but they also bought a cow. And I heard from Aunt Qin that your family We also need to send a few kids to school, which is really a big deal! I wonder when my kids will be able to go to school..."

Uncle Xu said, "Sisters-in-law, my family is lucky. We have cooperated with Zuixianlou, so life is easier. Your dog is still young. Even if you really can't go to school in the future, it's not a bad idea to learn a trade." After that, he said goodbye to the women and went home.

Uncle Xu drove the bullock cart to his yard. Mr. Xu was weaving bamboo baskets under the house. He saw the boss coming back with a few children and a cow.He asked in confusion, "Boss, where did this cow come from?"

Uncle Xu said, "Dad, I bought this bullock cart in the town." As he said that, he repeated Qibao's words.

After hearing this, Mr. Xu felt that Qibao was right, so he looked at the black cow for a moment. Seeing that the cow was really good, he happily took the cow rope and tied it to a tree stump in the yard, and asked the children about it. Regarding school matters, I became even more happy when I heard that the children would be able to enter school tomorrow. I quickly asked the boss to take a few children into the house to have a rest and drink some water. Then I ran to the kitchen and told Mrs. Wang the good news, and also told me to do more at noon. A few dishes count as a celebration.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared the meal, and the family sat at the dining table. Mr. Xu said with a smile, "Today is a happy event for our old Xu family. Not only did the family buy a cow, but several boys also successfully entered school. I didn't feel happy about it." It’s a pity, in the future, you guys, please don’t let down your family’s expectations, let alone your sister’s efforts, and study hard, okay?”

Several boys quickly replied, "Grandpa, we will not let our sister down. We must study hard."

Qibao smiled and said, "Grandpa, I have never thought about my brothers' future repayments. I only hope that my brothers will be able to distinguish right from wrong in the future, and they will avoid detours and do what they like. I will be very happy."

Wang smiled and said, "Old man, Qibao is right. All the boys in the family are good. Stop preaching and use your chopsticks quickly. Everyone is hungry!"

Mr. Xu nodded after listening to Wang's words, and told him that Uncle Xu would drive a bullock cart to take the children to school. When the eldest nodded in agreement, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating, and the others started eating too.

Not long after the meal, Uncle Chun Sheng, the village chief, came to Old Xu's house with drawings. When Mr. Xu saw him, he greeted him and asked, "Why is Chun Sheng here?"

When Xu Chunsheng heard the question, he replied, "Uncle, I can basically understand the drawings Qibao gave me. My father has almost hired people. He asked me to ask when construction will start."

Qibao said, "Grandpa, since Uncle Chunsheng is all right and the village chief has recruited everyone, why don't we start construction tomorrow. If we build the house earlier, we can move in earlier!"

Mr. Xu always loved his little granddaughter, so he agreed and said, "Okay, now that everything is ready, Chunsheng, go back and tell your father that work will start on time tomorrow morning!" Xu Chunsheng got up and left immediately after receiving the reply.

The whole family also went about their business. The brothers were in their room sorting out the pens, inks, paper and inkstones they bought in the morning, preparing for going to school tomorrow.When Qibao felt that he had nothing to do, Xu Hua'er came to play with Qibao. When Qibao saw the arrival of his good friend, he quickly took a stool from the house and placed it in the yard. Wang got into the house and took it. A few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake were placed on a plate on the small wooden table in the yard. He smiled and said, "Come on, Hua'er, try to see if this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is delicious. You came just in time. My Qibao family is worried that no one can talk to relieve boredom!" "Xu Hua'er's eyes lit up when she saw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Grandma Wang, I can't take it. You can keep it for Qibao and some brothers!"

Seeing this, Qibao took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Xu Hua'er's hand and said, "Sister Hua'er, just take what my grandma gave me. I still have it at home, don't worry!"

Xu Hua'er took it after hearing Qibao's words, and said sheepishly, "Thank you, Grandma Wang, thank you Qibao."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Thank you. Okay, your little sisters are playing in the yard. I'll go and get busy first." After that, she went into the kitchen.

"Qibao, this is my first time to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake!" He put it in his mouth and took a small bite, then narrowed his eyes happily.

Seeing how delicious the flowers were, Qibao said, "If you like, eat more. There's not enough!"

Xu Hua'er quickly shook her head and said, "No need for Qibao, that's enough. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is not cheap. You can keep it for yourself!"

Qibao listened to his friend's words and thought to himself, the friend made by the original owner is not greedy. It is rare for a child from a poor family to see delicious food and be so understanding of etiquette and considerate of others. She is a good girl, and it is worth making friends with. , and chatted with Xu Huaer.

The three sisters-in-law who were making clothes for the men in the house looked through the window and saw two little girls chattering in the yard. They found it interesting. Mrs. Zhang said, "Third brothers and sisters, look at Qibao's happy appearance. During this time, Qibao has been busy with the family, but it is rare for him to have the heart of a child!"

Lin sighed and said, "I want Qibao to stay like this. This is what a five-year-old child should be like, but he has to bear a burden that should not be at this age! It's all my fault as a useless mother. My heart feels so tight." He said with red eyes.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li comforted her and said, "Third brother and sister, don't be sad. No one in the family is living a good life because of Qibao. From now on, we should be nicer to Qibao and help Qibao do more things so that she can feel more relaxed!" Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li understand Mrs. Lin's feelings very well. Think about it, if it is your own child, it is something that adults should worry about, but it is carried on your shoulders by your own child. How can a mother not feel heartbroken...

Qibao was still talking happily to his little friend, but he didn't know that his mother's eyes were red because of him. Even if Qibao knew about it, she would tell her mother that she was not tired and could contribute to the family. When people do something, she feels particularly happy.

Xu Hua'er stayed at Xu's house until almost dinner time before saying goodbye to Qibao, saying that he would come to play with her next time when he had time, and then went home.After dinner, the Xu family went back to their rooms to rest...
