Chapter 124: 125_1

"We’ll go hunting up the mountains again tomorrow, to stock up on meat for the Spring Festival," Brother Ye said.

"What about the first to the tenth day? The Spring Festival lasts ten days."

"We’ll go and roam around," Brother Ye said.

"Oh."

It was now Nan Quanyou’s turn to hold the ancestral worship, so he called Nan Feng over, and she said to Brother Ye: "I’ll go to worship the ancestors first."

"Go ahead," Brother Ye replied nonchalantly.

...

After worshiping the ancestors, they came back at dusk. Nan Quanyou slaughtered a chicken, and Nan Feng cleaned up the house.

Just before dinner, the Clan Chief really came.

The Clan Chief’s name was Nan Meng, who was in his forties. He ran a shoe sole business in town and didn’t come back to the village often. The villagers regarded him remarkable because few people in the village run a business in town, so they usually respect him.

As the Clan Chief was coming, Nan Quanyou naturally had to serve him with courtesy, preparing some seeds and peanuts, and even invited Nan Meng to stay for dinner.

Nan Meng asked, "Is there any wine? We are of the same generation, consider us brothers. Let’s have a good meal today."

The two jars of wine were hard-won by Nan Feng from the town. Nan Quanyou was reluctant to part with them, but he had to be generous since he had a guest, so he had Nan Feng pour out a pot.

While eating chicken, Nan Meng said, "We are all from the same clan, so let’s cut to the chase. It hasn’t been easy for you and your daughter these years. Nan Yuanfei told me about your situation. I’ve been busy in town and don’t know much about your family affairs, and the other clan members didn’t report to me, so I haven’t visited your house."

Nan Feng was pouring wine for them, thinking to herself, everyone in the village knows about our situation, how come Nan Meng doesn’t? Isn’t he just selling shoe soles in town? It’s not as if he’s completely cut off from the village.

Nan Meng gnawed on a chicken leg, "Here’s the thing, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and as per tradition, our clan is holding a reunion dinner. You guys must come this year, or we will become strangers."

Nan Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle Ameng, we can’t eat the reunion dinner for free, right? Do we need to contribute something?"

"Yes, the reunion dinner will have chicken, duck, and fish. Each family will contribute a little to make it plentiful," Nan Meng replied as he downed another cup of wine.

Nan Meng had already eaten more than half of the chicken they had= prepared for the ancestor worship, yet Nan Quanyou and Nan Feng hadn’t even touched the chopsticks.

Nan Meng talked while drinking, his saliva and bits of meat from his mouth flying around, which made Nan Feng lose all appetite.

Nan Feng didn’t care about being polite anymore, "Uncle Ameng, here’s the thing, my father and I prepared our New Year’s Eve dinner two days ago. Your and Nan Yuanfei’s notice came a bit late. let’s do it next year. Depending on the situation, we’ll gather next year."

"You’ve already prepared? That’s perfect! You can bring your wine and meat and vegetables to the clan gathering. We can cook them together. You don’t need to contribute money. After all, you’re eating your own share. Nan Feng, you can hunt, right? Bring your game as well. It’s settled then!" Nan Meng slapped the table and declared.

Nan Feng was quite determined too, and she kept a straight face, "Let’s talk about it next year!"

"Then, pour some more wine?" Nan Meng shook his empty wine jug.

"It’s gone, all drunk up!" Nan Feng said.

"Oh, it’s all gone..." Nan Meng then speeded up eating the chicken.

Seeing the plate of chicken about to be emptied, Nan Feng grew anxious. She didn’t mind not eating herself, but her father couldn’t go without eating. She quickly grabbed the remaining pieces of chicken and put them all into Nan Quanyou’s bowl.
