Chapter 817

Red Star Reception

The Cao Cao Yunhai family, who were full of wine and food, gathered in the room. Cao Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Wei Qiuju were still reminiscing about the taste of roast duck. Liu Liu Shufang sat on the bed touching her bulging lower abdomen, and said with envy: "This is the life that people live. You say that we can't eat enough in the village, but look at this city, not only commodity grain, but also roast duck, roast duck! Who of you has eaten it before? If I can eat roast duck once a year, then this life is worth it."

Cao Wei Qiuju said with full desire: "I want to eat roast duck every day, I want to eat roast duck every meal, Mom, let’s stay in the city, okay."

Seeing the scenery of the city, eating in a restaurant for the first time, eating braised pork in big mouthfuls, seventeen-year-old Cao Wei Qiuju longed to stay, never wanted to go back to the village to farm, and never wanted to go back to the village to eat mixed-face buns.

Cao Cao Yunhai scolded with a straight face: "Nonsense, this city is not something you can stay if you want to. Tomorrow you will go home with me, honestly work at home, find a good family to marry and have children in two years, don't think wildly."

Cao Wei Qiuju stamped her feet unwillingly: "Dad, you are partial, why can brother stay in the city, but I have to go back to the village, no, I want to stay in the city too."

Liu Liu Shufang twisted Cao Wei Qiuju’s arm: "Dead girl, are you crazy? Your brother is the eldest son of our family, and he is the pillar of our family in the future. He is going to pass on the family line for the Cao family. He stays in the city, developed, and our family can shine. What can you do if you stay in the city? You will get married sooner or later, what is the use of you staying in the city?"

Cao Wei Qiuju said indignantly: "How is it useless, I can help the family if I stay in the city. If I earn a salary, I will give it all to you, let you buy meat and new clothes."

Cao Cao Yunhai sighed: "Wei Qiuju, stop making trouble, it’s still a question whether your brother can stay in the city, don't add chaos."

Liu Liu Shufang said: "What is a question, didn't Cao Cao Weiguo promise to help, then Cao Zhiqiang will definitely be able to stay, Cao Cao Weiguo is such a big leader, he can't speak without counting, otherwise he won't want to go back to Cao Family Village to worship ancestors in the future, I will let the whole clan poke his spine."

Cao Cao Zhiqiang said with an ugly face: "Mom, what are you saying? It is a sentiment that Cao Weiguo is willing to help, and it is his duty not to help. People don't owe our family."

Liu Liu Shufang reached out and poked Cao Cao Zhiqiang’s forehead: "You stupid boy, you started to speak for Cao Cao Weiguo after a meal and a few good words. Do you have any ambition? You are ungrateful and teach me a lesson. If it weren't for your mother, I insisted on taking you to the city to visit relatives, could you have the opportunity to enter the city? You want to rebel before you enter the city to work. Look at this, you don't have to stay in the city, continue to go home with me to farm."

Cao Cao Yunhai said muffledly: "Stop talking, Cao Zhiqiang is right, our family hasn't come and gone with Cao Weiguo for many years. This time people are willing to entertain our family, manage our good food and drink, and are willing to help Cao Zhiqiang, which is already very good. You can't do that kind of shameless thing."

"Bang!"

Liu Liu Shufang slapped the bed, stood up and akimbo, and shouted fiercely: "Hey, you are really a biological father and son, all of them are ungrateful. I have done my best for this family, serving the old and the young, busy inside and out, and even more worried about Cao Zhiqiang. I don't care about my face to please Cao Cao Weiguo, a junior, and you say me like this. Is your conscience eaten by dogs?"

Cao Cao Yunhai’s old face turned red: "Don't shout, this is not at home, it’s embarrassing for outsiders to hear. What I said has no other meaning, I just don't want to affect Cao Cao Weiguo’s life. We haven't come and gone with Cao Weiguo’s family for so many years, it’s already very embarrassing. This time, Cao Weiguo is willing to recognize our poor relatives, which is already very good. We can't help Cao Weiguo, but we can't add chaos to Cao Weiguo."

Liu Liu Shufang shouted akimbo: "Add chaos, how did I add chaos to him? You are Cao Cao Weiguo’s cousin, your father and his grandfather are brothers, that is a blood relationship. After Cao Zhiqiang enters the city, he will also help Cao Cao Weiguo in the future. Our family doesn't just want to take advantage of him."

Cao Cao Zhiqiang knew his mother’s character and temper, and knew that no matter how he said it, he couldn't twist her, so he yawned and said: "Dad, Mom, it’s not early, I’m going to sleep, you go to sleep early too, we have to catch the train tomorrow."

Cao Wei Qiuju didn't want to listen to her parents arguing, so she followed her brother and left the room as if fleeing.

Cao Cao Yunhai said with a straight face: "Stop arguing, sleep."

Liu Liu Shufang sat beside Cao Cao Yunhai angrily, bumped him with her shoulder: "Why sleep so early, go and get a basin of foot-washing water, and then rub my feet for me. I walked for a whole day, and my feet are sore."

Cao Cao Yunhai’s old face turned red: "This is outside, if people know that I, a big man, wash feet for my daughter-in-law, it will be laughed at. You go and get the foot-washing water yourself, I’m going to sleep."

Liu Liu Shufang grabbed Cao Cao Yunhai’s hand and said coquettishly: "Dead look, you still want face, you can wash it at home, why can't you wash it outside? You touch this bed, it’s much softer than our house. You wash my feet well today, and I will serve you well later."

This made Cao Cao Yunhai’s old face even redder, he stood up and took the basin and went out: "I’ll get the foot-washing water."

Liu Liu Shufang laughed proudly: "Dead look, go quickly and come back quickly, don't get lost."

Nanluoguxiang

Song Song Yulan leaned her head on Cao Cao Weiguo’s shoulder and muttered about Cao Cao Yunhai’s family: "Cao Weiguo, do you really want to help cousin stay in the city."

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "This Cao Cao Zhiqiang looks quite honest. Although our family and his family haven't come and gone for many years, they are relatives of the main family after all. Helping a hand is nothing. Besides, the ancestral graves of the Cao family are still in Cao Family Village. If you don't look at the monk’s face, you have to look at the Buddha’s face."

On the land of China, the clan concept is a very powerful social and cultural phenomenon, which has largely shaped the characteristics and values of Chinese society.

In ancient times, due to low productivity, people often lived and produced in clans. The clan became a closely united social organization. In this case, the clan concept was further strengthened. People often thought that the clan was their root and belonging, and the clan members also formed deep emotional ties.

In traditional Chinese culture, the clan concept is given an extremely important position. The concepts of "filial piety" and "fraternity" in Confucian culture are all expounded with the clan as the basic unit. These concepts emphasize that clan members should respect, care for, and support each other to achieve harmony and stability within the clan.

In addition, the clan is also regarded as an important unit for inheriting culture and continuing the family line. Clan members strengthen their sense of identity and belonging to the clan by worshiping ancestors and inheriting family culture.

At the same time, the clan concept is also related to the development and interests of individuals and families. Even if it is a new country, a new atmosphere, and a new society, people’s lifestyles and values are constantly changing, but the clan concept is still firmly rooted in this land and is a social culture that people cannot ignore.

Promising to help Cao Cao Zhiqiang solve the problem of working in the city, Cao Cao Weiguo not only looked at the face of the relatives of the main family, but also considered his own interests.

A single thread does not make a line, a single tree does not make a forest, and few people cannot do things. Social relationships and human feelings are indispensable for his future development. Helping Cao Cao Zhiqiang enter the city also has his ideas and uses. Perhaps in the future, this "main family relative" Cao Cao Zhiqiang can also contribute to his development.

Who is he, Cao Cao Weiguo?

He has always been profit-oriented and would never help for nothing. Since he helped, it was to get more benefits back, just like he helped Song Song Yulan’s family and relatives, and has begun to give back. Song Xiong, Song Hu, Song Bao, and others can do a lot of things for him openly and secretly.
