Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402: 120: Allowing you to peek at people through the door gap, up on the beam!_6

The scattering part is what people look forward to the most.

Just as the singing described, the carpenter began to throw candy, peanuts, and other snacks from the roof.

On the ground, adults, children, young, old, practically everyone was jostling together to grab candies.

The scene was very lively.

Ni Yang prepared over fifty pounds of candy, plus cookies, peanuts, and the likes, weighing around seventy to eighty pounds. So, practically everyone was able to get some.

During this era, a typical family would prepare four or five pounds of candy at most for a rafter raising ceremony. There were none as generous as Ni Yang.

So everyone was extraordinarily happy while grabbing candies.

Everyone could grab some; even the old woman who was hard on her feet managed to grab a whole bag.

After the rafter raising ceremony ended, it was time to eat.

The lunch was splendid, with large bowls of Braised Pork, succulent roasted lamb legs, and savory Beef Stew Noodles…

Moreover, Ni Yang prepared a refined gift for every guest at the table, regardless of age.

Ni Yang was no fool, since everyone brought gifts, she couldn’t let them leave empty-handed.

The gifts were wrapped in a red handkerchief, with a pack of cigarettes, eighteen candies, and a red envelope with five yuan inside.

After finishing their meal, everyone didn’t just rush off; instead, they stayed to help Ni Cuihua wash the dishes and clean up.

There were so many dishes!

If left to Ni Cuihua and Ni Yang alone, how long would it take them to tidy up? _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

The more, the merrier. In a little while, they had restored the courtyard to its original state, all neat and tidy.

By evening, Ni Yang walked Mo Qishen home, “Brother Mo, you had a hardworking day.”

The setting sun draped the pair in golden light; the scene was as romantic as a TV drama.

Mo Qishen replied casually, “Not at all. Yangyang, I never knew before today that a house-raising could be such a lively event.”

Mo Qishen had never participated in a rafter raising ceremony before; it was a pleasant first experience.

Ni Yang reached out and took Mo Qishen’s hand, “Brother Mo, no matter what, I have to thank you for today.”

Mo Qishen tightened his grasp. With a faint smile on his lips, he said, “Yangyang, if you really want to thank me, do it in a more practical way.”

Ni Yang knew he was teasing her again, and raised her eyebrows slightly, “You’re thinking quite prettily, huh!”

“Do you know what I’m thinking?” Mo Qishen looked down at Ni Yang’s profile.

Under the setting sun, her profile seemed to glow. Her clear eyes hid constellations of stars, making people wish they could offer her everything beautiful in this world.

“Wake up, stop dreaming.” Ni Yang removed her hand and pinched Mo Qishen’s face. “It’s daytime, not the time for dreams.”

Mo Qishen’s face reddened from the pinch. He didn’t make a sound, only a softened smile spread across his face.

“Oh right.” Ni Yang suddenly changed her tone, “Brother Mo, did you hire a teacher for Xiaodie yet?”

“I did.” Mo Qishen replied, “Also, the publishers have been contacted. They think highly of Xiaodie’s writings, saying she has the potential to become a writer.”

Ni Yang nodded, “Xiaodie has always been smart.”

Ni Yang grinned subtly, “Li Xianxian’s downfall is near.”
