#43 - Chapter 43 New Year

Cheng Feng made his choice while contemplating.

People always have to learn to integrate into the environment.

The family shouldn't be lacking anything.

Cheng Feng took the only remaining one or two taels of silver.

He bought three jars of wine, one large and two small, along with some small candies.

Only five small coins remained.

He left two small jars of wine at Room One.

He took the large jar back home to drink.

After staying at Room One and Room Two for a day each,

Cheng Feng carried the wine jars and went home.

This time, he didn't encounter any ambushes on the way.

There were also many people returning home for the New Year.

Cheng Feng specifically chose a set of gray clothes to wear,

But he still stood out among the crowd of people returning home.

He looked like he was doing very well.

This was not what Cheng Feng wanted.

He quickly went to the roadside and sprinkled some soil on himself.

He also messed up his hair a bit.

His expression was slightly melancholic.

Yes, that's right.

No one would have thought that a martial artist in the Skin Refinement Realm would look like this.

On the way, he even saw Ma Zi and Niu Si.

They used to be somewhat malicious when Cheng Feng had a good catch fishing.

But later, they seemed to have gone to the city to work.

Their children were quite close to Lao San.

Perhaps Cheng Feng's changes from practicing martial arts were too great.

When Cheng Feng passed by them, he just glanced at them.

They didn't recognize him.

Cheng Feng was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet.

He was now moving forward steadily step by step.

He would avoid causing trouble if he could.

At Room One and Room Two, he also told them that there would be many people during the New Year, and pregnant women should not run around.

When Cheng Feng came back, they could go out together.

The women in the city were settled and had no worries about food and clothing.

Then he would go to the village to have a good New Year.

Drinking wine and eating meat.

Cheng Feng only felt relaxed in front of his family.

Having experienced a thousand sails, he was still a teenager upon his return.

When he returned home,

Everything was indeed well.

Lao San had also become much stronger.

In addition to practicing archery, Lao Da also helped Lao Cheng dig a cellar.

Cheng Feng placed the wine jars on the table and happily shouted, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Lao Cheng and his wife came out upon hearing the sound, their faces full of smiles.

The family sat around the table, and Cheng Feng opened the wine jar and filled his parents' glasses. Lao

Cheng raised his glass and said with emotion, "Son, you've grown up and become more and more promising."

Cheng Feng said with a smile, "Dad, it's all because of your good guidance."

After dinner, Cheng Feng and his family sat in the courtyard looking at the stars.

He told everyone about his experiences outside, which made everyone laugh.

At this moment, Cheng Shu walked over and patted Cheng Feng on the shoulder, "Second brother, thank you."

Cheng Feng looked up at his elder brother, "Thank you for what? We're family, no need for such formalities. By the way, elder brother, how are the preparations for your wedding with your future sister-in-law going?"

Cheng Shu smiled, "Almost done, just waiting for a good day after the New Year to get married."

Cheng Feng was very happy to hear this, "That's great, elder brother is finally getting married. We can rest assured that someone will take care of you in the future."

The family chatted happily, and before they knew it, the night was already late. Cheng Feng returned to his room, lay on the bed, and recalled the bits and pieces of the year, his heart filled with emotion.

The next day, Cheng Feng followed his father to a corner of the house. This corner was very hidden, and it would be difficult to find an entrance here without careful observation.

Cheng Feng looked curiously at the covered cellar entrance,

Cheng Father gently lifted the lid, and a damp breath rushed out. Cheng Feng couldn't help but frown,

But he still carefully followed his father down into the cellar. The cellar was dimly lit, and they could only see the surrounding environment with the faint candlelight.

Cheng Father lit an oil lamp, illuminating the surroundings.

Cheng Feng was surprised to find that the length, width, and height of the cellar were at least three meters.

Except for the entrance,

It was really about the same size as the house.

There were also horizontal wooden planks on the top, with several round logs in the middle as support.

The old tables and chairs that had been replaced before were also moved down.

Cheng Feng said in surprise, "Dad, you've moved everything down here."

Cheng Father smiled, "Didn't you say that the house was too crowded before? Digging a cellar is for storing things."

Cheng Feng nodded in agreement.

But the humid environment and the smell of earth were really a bit strong.

Cheng Feng had previously planned to turn the cellar into a habitable room.

Now it seemed that after some renovation, it could only be used as a small base for storing items.

But in Cheng Feng's opinion, this was already enough.

After leaving the cellar, Cheng Feng and Cheng Father talked about the cellar being paved with gravel and walls, and it would be best to dig a slightly wider vent, and another exit could be dug.

And make some appropriate cover.

Cheng Father said embarrassedly: "Er Gou, what you said is right, and I can do it, but the eldest is about to get married, and we won't have money to buy materials after that!"

When Cheng Feng heard this, he thought it was something, but it turned out to be about money.

Cheng Feng felt that this small base was still very important.

Asked Cheng Father how much money was needed?

Cheng Father estimated a wave: "At least four taels of silver"

Cheng Feng frowned slightly.

Four taels, still acceptable.

It's just that he has to take money from the bottom of the box again.

Cheng Feng nodded to show that he understood.

Said he would bring the money back after the New Year.

Cheng Father looked at Cheng Feng and easily said that he could take out four taels.

He hurriedly said: "Feng Ge'er, don't do illegal business, you will be beheaded if you are caught by the government."

Cheng Feng smiled inwardly, he had already seen blood.

And he didn't see those government officials coming to question him!

Perhaps the Blood Wolf Gang suppressed it for him.

In order to appease Cheng Father's heart, Cheng Feng whispered: "Dad, let me tell you something, don't tell anyone else."

Seeing Cheng Feng's serious expression, Cheng Father also became firm: "You say, I will definitely not say it out."

Cheng Feng understood Lao Cheng's temperament of doing what he said and whispered in his ear: "I have been secretly accepted as the tenth disciple by the martial arts hall master. The hall master is afraid that others will be jealous, so he told me not to publicize it for the time being, saying that he will announce it later."

Listening to the second son telling him about the instructions of a big figure like the martial arts hall master, and the good news that his second son was also accepted into the sect.

Cheng Father smiled in his heart, with a serious face, looking like I understood: "Don't worry, I will never say it."

Seeing that Lao Cheng was no longer asking about the origin of the silver.

Cheng Feng was also relieved.

He felt very dangerous outside.

But the east is at war, and Cui'er was bought by himself because of this.

Who knows what it will be like in the future.

First, get the cellar done.

Cheng Feng planned to put more food in it for future needs.

Da Zhou at this time already had some of the appearance of the end of the dynasty.

Cheng Feng didn't know if he was right, but he could only prepare for the worst.

The first to escape from the east were the rich and powerful.

Then who will come later, the people or the Red Lotus Sect?

A jar of wine was relatively large, and Cheng Feng and his family drank most of it in three days.

The rest was left for Cheng Father to have two small cups himself.

After staying at home for two days, Cheng Feng went back to Room Two and had two more intimate moments with Chen Min.

Two more Blessing Points were obtained.

He also took out five taels from the bottom of the box, leaving thirty-five taels for备用.

After kissing the women in Room One, touching their hands, and listening to their bellies,

He returned to Liujia Village.

He gave the silver to Cheng Father, and in order not to let Cheng Father slack off, he said again: "Father, my master said that the war in the east may spread over, our cellar will be used to store food and the like in the future, it will be of great use, moisture-proof must be done well, the master did not say the time, but I hope to get it done as soon as possible."

Cheng Father didn't hesitate after hearing this, saying that he would contact someone to pull gravel after the New Year, and the eldest's marriage would be around mid-February,

The two of himself and the eldest should be able to finish it in a month.

Listening to Cheng Father's instructions, Cheng Feng felt a little relieved.

After checking with Cheng Father again to consolidate the place and the vent to be dug,

After repeatedly emphasizing the need to keep it secret,

Cheng Feng left.

In the city, martial arts hall master Wang Tieshan was still expecting him.

The skills on the panel still needed Blessing Points.

The matter of becoming an inner disciple still needed time to spread the news.

There was not much money left in the family's box, and it also needed to be earned.

Cheng Feng felt that he was getting busier and busier.

But fortunately, Lao Cheng was helping with the cellar at home.

No one dared to spread the word about the cellar except the family.

This was a matter of trust.
