Chapter 356: Chapter 357 Who is Nini? _1
However, after the cart had travelled some way, Ye Ge still said, “Nini was my sister. She’s no longer in this world. That painting was drawn by her for me when I was seventeen.”A pang of sorrow hit Nan Feng, she immediately reached out to comfort Ye Ge, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.”
“It’s okay,” Ye Ge said, grasping Nan Feng’s hand.
Not many people went to Qingshui Town. Nan Feng wanted to distract Ye Ge, so she suggested, “Why don’t you teach me how to drive the cart? I might want to have one of my own someday.”
Few women around here drove carts; most ladies would hire a chauffeur. But Ye Ge had seen the world, and found nothing surprising about women driving carts or even riding horses.
“Alright. When we get to a relatively flat road ahead, I’ll teach you,” Ye Ge said.
Nan Feng thought Ye Ge was thoughtful. The current path was winding and somewhat bumpy, but the next stretch was smoother.
When they reached a flat stretch, Ye Ge made some room and taught Nan Feng how to drive the cart, teaching her meticulously: “Mama understands some basic commands. For example, to make her start running, you crack the whip and call out a command, to make her slow down, just pull the reins, she will understand to run slower, depending on how slow you want her to run…”
Nan Feng was always a quick learner, she grasped it in no time. The next stretch of the road was driven by her, while Ye Ge was sitting leisurely by the door occasionally giving advice.
He also savored the sight of her beautiful profile. This lady, whether doing any task, always put her heart into it, even when driving a cart.
When they were past Qingshui Town and headed towards Daping Village, it was noon. Ye Ge wanted to take over the driving from Nan Feng, but she had become addicted to it and refused. Ye Ge, concerned that she might be hungry, took out a few pieces of osmanthus cake from behind to feed her.
…
When Nan Feng drove the cart past the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, many villagers came out to watch the spectacle. Normally, there were no carts in the village, so when one did arrive, and with a lady driving it, everyone was trailing behind, watching. As soon as she reached the village entrance, Nan Feng began to slow down and greeted everyone.
Soon after she arrived home, the yard filled up with people. Nan Feng handed out Dim Sum to everyone, while Ye Ge helped her carry other things into the house.
Only half of the new house at Nan Feng’s place had been built, so Ye Ge helped Nan Feng carry stuff into the old house.
Nan Quanyou, Lin Qiaoyun and Brother Fuge didn’t know Nan Feng was coming home today. They had gone to the fields to add fertilizer to the potatoes. One of the young boys, who had already received his treat, enthusiastically volunteered to help Nan Feng fetch her father home.
Nan Feng told Ye Ge to take the cart to Uncle Zhou’s place first. After all, she was already home, and if they didn’t hurry to see Uncle Zhou, he might be upset.
Ye Ge nodded but reminded Nan Feng, “Don’t forget our agreement.”
Of course, he was referring to their agreement to get married.
Nan Feng nodded, “Don’t worry about it. You…feel free to propose formally.”
Only then did Ye Ge get onto the cart.
After Ye Ge left, the rest of the people who had gotten their sweets also left one after another. A few of the children followed behind Ye Ge’s cart, thinking that there would be more treats if they kept following him.
After waiting inside the house for quite a while, Nan Feng finally heard Brother Fu’s excited voice: “Sister Nan Feng, Sister Nan Feng?”
