Chapter 295 Why don’t you have a sense of ceremony?
Xu Ning and Xu An were fine, so Zhang didn't have to worry too much. However, Xu Feng loved eating and drinking so much in recent years that he turned himself into a little fat man, which made Zhang very angry.
The most innocent person was Xu Da. That kid Xu Feng relied on his martial arts skills to hide, and in the end it was he, the old father, who suffered.
Now whenever Zhang catches Xu Feng she can't stop talking about him. Old Mrs. Xu has been cultivating herself in recent years, and apart from occasionally taking care of things, she spends the rest of her time reading books and drinking tea with Old Man Xu.
Of course, the one reading the book was Old Mrs. Xu, and the one drinking tea was Old Man Xu.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture would come to the valley to live for a while from time to time. Only when the Grand Minister of Agriculture came or Xu Ning made trouble for his youngest son again, would Old Lady Xu regain her former spirit.
On weekdays, Old Mrs. Xu would watch them jumping up and down very calmly.
In the words of Old Mrs. Xu, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
"Yes, yes, grandma, you are right. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If I don't have children and grandchildren, I will enjoy the happiness!" The next second, Xu Ning got the roasted chestnuts from Grandma Xu.
This was a scene that often occurred when Xu Ning was arranged by Old Lady Xu to meet someone.
However, Old Lady Xu had no intention of bringing Xu Ning and Jiang Yan together. She knew in her heart that this little girl in their family could not be controlled, and that wealthy family was not suitable for her.
"Grandma Xu." Jiang Yan was brought into the fortress by Xu Feng and first greeted Grandma Xu.
"Ayan is here, please sit down. Ning's cake will be ready soon. You can try it later." When Old Mrs. Xu saw him, her eyes lit up. She looked behind Jiang Yan and saw the two brothers Jiang Yi and Jiang Er.
"Xu Zhen! Xu Ning! Open the door quickly! I'm coming over too!" Just as Old Mrs. Xu was about to call Jiang Yi and Jiang Er over, she heard the Grand Minister of Agriculture's voice from afar.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture was like this every time he came, wishing that the whole valley would hear the news of his coming.
"I know, I know, stop shouting!" Old Mrs. Xu pretended to be angry and asked someone to arrange for Jiang Yan and the others to sit down and drink tea. Then she went to see what trouble the Grand Minister of Agriculture had caused.
"Where is Xu Ning? Why are you here?" The Grand Minister of Agriculture and the servants were pushing a cart excitedly. Seeing that only Old Lady Xu came, they hurriedly looked behind her. It turned out that it was really only Old Lady Xu who came alone.
"Why, it's not enough for me to pick you up, do you want everyone to come?" Old Lady Xu glanced at him, and the Minister of Agriculture immediately smiled and explained: "I came here with Xu Ning's gift, and I just want her to receive it in person."
"Wait, she will come as soon as the cake is ready." After saying that, without waiting for the Minister of Agriculture, he turned around and went back to the fortress.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture looked at the gray fortress and admired it more than once in his heart. He said that he must live here in his later years. It was so safe.
"Xu Zhen, please wait for me. I've been traveling for several days and I can't catch up with you!"
"Then just walk slowly and make it in time for dinner." Old Mrs. Xu waved her hand from afar. Xu Da, who had just returned from the farmland, happened to see this scene and hurried over to help the Minister of Agriculture push the cart.
Soon, Cui Yong also appeared in the valley. Since the natural disasters were completely resolved in the past two years, Cui Yong rarely stayed with the Minister of Agriculture. Instead, he spent more time in the valley.
The Minister of Agriculture had no choice, after all, he had not retired yet, and he was also responsible for part of the mall.
Pei Yongjun, Qi Canglan and Qi Songbo did not come this time, as the mall was about to be completed and there were many things they needed to take care of. Pei Jiao was also assigned military duties and could not make it, but she asked the Minister of Agriculture to bring the birthday gifts.
"Old Cui, come and give me a hand!" The Minister of Agriculture was always rude to Cui Yong and directly called him to come and help. Cui Yong glanced at the cart that was being pushed slowly by several people, walked steadily to the back, pushed hard with both hands, and instantly doubled the speed.
"Why are there so many things, Lao Qin? Why don't you move them in two batches?" Xu Ning had just finished making the cake and walked out of the kitchen, when he saw a pile of carts piled up like a small mountain in the yard.
"It's a good thing you're taking the water route. If you were taking the mountain road, even a cart wouldn't be enough." Old Man Xu also said something from the side.
"It would save you from all the trouble. It will be too hot at noon. It would be easier to pull it back all at once!" The Grand Minister of Agriculture wiped the sweat from his forehead. The servants who were helping him were all out of breath. The Grand Minister of Agriculture waved his hand and asked them to go down and have a rest.
Old Mrs. Xu brought out a cup of herbal tea in a bad mood and said, "You are not afraid of tiring others, nor do you worry about your own old bones."
"Hehe, Xu Zhen, if I'm really tired, I'll have an excuse to stay here!" Da Si Nong said with a smile.
"You're dreaming. You should just focus on being the Minister of Agriculture." Old Lady Xu stuffed the water cup into his hand, and the Minister of Agriculture quickly took it and drank it.
"Xu Zhen, I'm serious, I just want one room." Da Si Nong drank the water but still did not give up. The others followed his gaze and looked at Old Lady Xu.
Old Lady Xu rolled her eyes and said, "No, come in and have a rest. If you keep saying that, I won't let you in next time."
"Yeah, yeah." The Grand Minister of Agriculture didn't care. He would continue to grind. He learned this from Xu Ning.
Xu Ning and Xu Yuan followed behind them, covering their mouths and laughing. In fact, Old Lady Xu and everyone in the Xu family didn't mind that the Grand Minister of Agriculture came over, but the Grand Minister of Agriculture didn't know that it was Old Lady Xu who had been teasing him.
"Wow, this cake is so big, it looks really good!" As soon as Da Si Nong entered the living room, he saw the big cake in the middle.
"Yes, Lao Qin, you came at the right time. The cake tastes the best when it's fresh out of the oven!" Xu Ning did not put the candles on and was about to pick up the knife to cut the cake when he was stopped by the Minister of Agriculture.
"Wait a minute. How come you have no sense of ritual? You haven't blown out the candles and made a wish yet?" The Grand Minister of Agriculture asked someone to take out a box on the cart. Inside was the usable candles he specially made, and there were candles in the shapes of familiar numbers.
Xu Ning watched him operate with some surprise. In fact, Xu Ning didn't feel much about these things. Every birthday he had was just a meal with his family.
As for making a wish, she has made it more than twenty times, but none of the wishes have come true, and she no longer believes in it.
However, she was still very touched when she saw the Minister of Agriculture doing all these carefully for her.
"I wanted to say this last year. How can you celebrate your birthday and eat cake without blowing out the candles and making a wish? Come here, and everyone else come over, let's sing the birthday song together!" After the Da Si Nong inserted the candle with the number 13 and lit it, he pulled Xu Ning in front of the cake.
"Hurry up and blow it. Happy birthday to you Xu Ning~"
"Happy birthday to you~"
"Happy birthday to you~"
……
Xu Ning's eyes flickered, and finally she closed her eyes with a smile on her face, clasped her hands together, and the candlelight flickered on her face. Others followed Da Si Nong to sing the most familiar birthday song. Xu Ning felt like she had returned to her original life in an instant.
Dad, I hope you can come home!
"Whoo~"
"Wow~"
