Chapter 1267: Chapter 1089: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

And this scene just happened to be witnessed by Ye Ge as he stepped outside.

Ye Ge stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the scene in the distance. Beneath a neem tree, a young boy and girl stood facing each other, with affection brimming in their eyes.

After a while, Ye Ge retreated back into the front hall. Nan Feng was still inside wrapping the last two zongzi. Seeing Ye Ge go out and come back, she couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t you say you heard the children coming back?"

Ye Ge looked serious, "Xiaobei is here too, and he seems very intimate with Abao."

"Intimate? Could the two of them really be in a relationship?" Nan Feng was also somewhat anxious.

"They must be experiencing the first flush of love. This matter..." Ye Ge thought for a moment, "let’s talk about it in detail after the kids have left. Now is the time for us to step in."

...

The card game Xia Dabao was now playing had been thought up by Nan Feng. It was similar to poker cards. They cut the paper to roughly the same size, then had Ye Ge draw characters on them, and finally, they glued the paper onto thin wooden boards. It could be used to play Landlord or Thirteen. Xia Dabao and Lanlan had played it before, and Axian now knew how to play it too. Tian Xiaobei had not played before and needed Xia Dabao to teach her, so Xia Dabao paired up with Tian Xiaobei.

As a result, the task of wrapping zongzi fell to Nan Feng’s lot again. Xia Dabao only added some firewood when he remembered, but most of the time, it was Nan Feng tending the fire.

Not until the kitchen was filled with the fragrance of zongzi and Xia Dabao and the others got hungry from playing cards, did Nan Feng, estimating that the zongzi had been boiling for about two hours and were nearly done, hurriedly lifted the lid to take a few out, "Everybody come out and eat zongzi!"

Ye Ge and Nan Feng came out as well, and the group, chatting and laughing while eating zongzi, were very merry.

As evening approached, Nan Feng saved a few zongzi for Lanlan to take back for everyone to share, then asked Tian Xiaobei to take a few to the village chief’s house, and thus they happily spent the first day of the year.

...

It wasn’t until night, after Ye Ge and Nan Feng had washed up and lain down in bed, that Nan Feng brought up Xia Dabao and Tian Xiaobei’s matter again, "I observed Abao and Xiaobei carefully during the day. Indeed, the two kids have feelings for each other, but I feel Xiaobei is more attached to Abao. Abao seems rather thoughtless and too passive. Her emotions seem to be prompted by Xiaobei’s lead. I suspect Xiaobei must have said something indicating she likes Abao, and since Abao isn’t averse to Xiaobei, she assumes she likes Xiaobei too. Ye Ge, what do you think?"

Ye Ge also pondered seriously, "But our Abao is a child who values loyalty. If she hadn’t already promised something to Xiaobei, she wouldn’t have brought Xiaobei home and let her be so close. She probably already thinks she’s going to marry Xiaobei in the future."

"Exactly, that’s what worries me. But Xiaobei, this child... always gives me an uneasy feeling. With such a heavy burden on her, if Abao were to marry her, there will be a lot to bear in the future. I’m afraid Xiaobei will pass some negative emotions onto Abao. Growing up by our side, Abao has never suffered any hardship. I don’t want to see her looking worried and unhappy later on," said Nan Feng with a sigh.

Although Ye Ge didn’t sigh, his tone wasn’t much better, "Abao and Xiaobei, one lives under the joy of sunshine, and the other under the sorrow of shadows. Surely one will influence the other. It’s either Abao bringing joy to Xiaobei or Xiaobei bringing her sadness to Abao. Once they are married, all these issues will come to light."

Nan Feng couldn’t help but hug Ye Ge, "Then what should we do?"
