Chapter 1281: Chapter 1103: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Oh, Nan Feng, just choose. If Dabao’s wedding is delayed, you’ll regret it in the future," the Matchmaker Wang sounded discontented.

"Let’s talk about the future when it arrives," Nan Feng still spoke with a smile.

"Well then, I will go and reply to the pig farmers, and talk with them again. I’ll say no concubines can be taken, and see how they respond. If they agree, will Abao still consider marrying?" Matchmaker Wang asked seriously.

"That..." This stumped Nan Feng. After glancing at Xia Dabao’s room door, aware that Xia Dabao was definitely listening, Nan Feng straightforwardly declined, "It’s not urgent to marry, let’s talk about Abao’s matter next year. If that pig farmer’s son is still unmarried and Abao hasn’t found anyone else, then we can arrange for them to meet at that time."

"She’ll be seventeen next year," Matchmaker Wang counted using nominal age.

"Seventeen isn’t late."

"..."

After the reluctant departure of Matchmaker Wang, Nan Feng sighed deeply and looked again at Xia Dabao’s room door which was now tightly closed; she probably wanted to be alone.

Xia Dabao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She once thought herself to be carefree, usually able to forget an unhappy incident the very next day, but ever since Tian Xiaobei left, she had been distracted.

Her feelings for Tian Xiaobei were genuine, and so were her thoughts of him—often wondering what he was doing now, what he thought about, and whether he remembered that there was a girl in Peach Blossom Village still waiting for him.

What Xia Dabao most wanted to know was whether Tian Xiaobei had forgotten his promise to come back and ask for her hand in marriage.

With so many beautiful and wealthy young ladies in Provincial City, he had probably forgotten indeed.

Suddenly, Xia Dabao sprang up from bed. No, she had to find out.

If he had changed his mind and no longer wished to marry her, she would come back and forget Tian Xiaobei completely. If he still wanted her to wait, she would wait a bit longer, but not for too long.

Her mother had said before, everything changes between people; when two persons walk different paths, they see different sceneries, meet different individuals, and they gradually drift apart.

So, she didn’t want to wait painfully anymore; this issue needed to be resolved decisively.

Xia Dabao promptly got up and opened her drawer.

She had saved quite a bit of New Year’s money, plus the money from selling lychees every year, her mother always said a girl also needs to know how to manage money, to be independent, to have a status no matter whom she marries.

She counted, it should be enough for her trip to the Provincial City.

After thinking, Xia Dabao wrote a note, just one line: Dad, Mom, sorry, I want to go to Provincial City to ask Xiaobei something. I’ll be back in three days at most. You don’t need to look for me, I will definitely return safely.

After writing, she packed a set of clothes and tied it into a bundle, then, she went out to see what Nan Feng was doing.

In the yard, only Axian was playing with the now-grown dog Xiaocao. Xia Dabao asked him, "Where are dad and mom?"

After looking at Xia Dabao, Axian answered without much thought, "Dad and mom went to the fields."

"Okay, then I will go out for a bit. You stay home and take care of things. If you get sleepy, go back to sleep inside, do you hear?" Axian asked.

"Yes, I understand," After agreeing, Axian continued playing with Xiaocao.
