Otherworldly Days

Chapter 501 The root is in this place

I got up early and stretched at the door, looking at the mountains not far away, the white clouds floating on the top of the mountains in the distance, as if a person could touch the sky by standing on the top of the mountain.Cao Xiangnan still feels that everything at home is so familiar after returning home, this place is his root, no matter how far they go, this is always the place where they started.

Beat the eggs into the flour and knead the dough. Cao Xiangnan is going to make egg pancakes. This will fill your stomach. After a while, you can go out to work when you are full.The porridge boiled in the pot smelled like rice, and it was all done.

The two servants at home were not surprised to see the master working in the kitchen. At first Jinxiu Jinyan said that the two elder brothers knelt down in fright when they saw the master working in the kitchen, begging the master Hurry up and let them come, there is no master who works in the kitchen, isn't this a disgrace to them servants.

Cao Xiangnan was frightened that time, how could it be such a serious matter, he would just cook a meal for his wife and children, so to speak, and even Qi Wanfeng in the room heard the voice and came out to let the two The brother just got up.

Now that the master was busy in the kitchen, the two brothers left one to help in the kitchen, and the other went out to clean up the house, and there was no fuss at the beginning.

The circles at the back of the yard need to be cleaned, the livestock need to be fed, the big sheep give birth to lambs, and there are several lambs, which are divided into two circles.The stables also had to be cleaned, otherwise the smell here would be bad, so the Liu family and his sons would clean the circle there, and Liu Ah would feed the chickens with chicken food.

"Cackling..." Seeing the big chickens hatching chicks, the eggs are usually sent to the town for the young masters to eat, and they themselves are reluctant to eat any of them.

White smoke was rising from the chimney, and the people in the kitchen were making breakfast.

"Keep down the fire, I'm going to bake pancakes." After kneading the dough, Cao Xiangnan asked Jin Yan, who was sitting in front of the stove to set the fire, to turn down the fire so that the pancakes wouldn't burn.

Jin Yan heard the words and controlled the fire in the stove to be a little smaller.

I went to work in the field yesterday, I think everyone is tired today, normally Xiangzi wakes up early to help him, but today no one wakes up yet.Just as Cao Xiangnan was thinking, he saw Xiangzai coming to the kitchen, standing at the door and calling, "Daddy."

"I woke up, why don't you sleep a little longer? Did you get too tired yesterday?" Cao Xiangnan asked when he saw the child walking in.

"It's okay, not tired." In fact, I feel a little tired, but everything else is fine.When he got up, he saw that Dad was making breakfast, and Xiangzi saw Jinyan helping here, so he asked Dad if there was anything he could do to help.

"Go and see if Bao'er and Lele are awake, and wipe your brothers' faces." Cao Xiangnan asked Xiangzi to visit his younger brothers, and the pancakes here can be baked for breakfast.

"Okay." In response, Xiangzi went to see his younger brothers.

The children in the family are getting up one after another now, and Bao'er's clothes are all neatly dressed, presumably the older brothers helped him put them on.Lele followed Bao'er, and the two children had been inseparable since birth.

When I woke up and wanted to get up, there was a pain in my waist, Qi Wanfeng almost suspected that I would not be able to get out of bed, and my whole body hurt everywhere.The seat next to him was empty. He heard the voice outside and knew that the children were up. After a while, he stood up with support, opened the door and went out.

"Mum, give me a hug." As soon as Xiao Bao'er saw Ah Mu, she rushed over to hug Ah Mu's legs, and climbed up on the ground with hands and feet.

Qi Wanfeng was afraid that the child would fall, so he quickly caught the little guy with his hands, his hands were so soft that he almost dropped the little guy on the ground, he quickly put the little boy down again, and kissed the little boy Looking at her face, she asked, "Bao'er woke up so early, is Bao'er good?"

"Good boy, Bao'er." He said it was serious, with a serious look on his face.

"Bao'er is awesome." Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched Lele's hair. The two children had little buns on their heads. He asked, "Did brother comb your hair?"

"It's Xiangzi." Bao'er hurriedly replied.

Aning woke up in the morning with a large pimple on the back of his neck, which was red and itchy. He didn't know if he was bitten by a bug yesterday or something.Seeing this, Qi Wanfeng quickly took the ointment for mosquito bites and wiped it off for Aning, and asked, "Do you feel better after applying the ointment?"

"Well, it's much better." Ah Ning nodded. He felt itchy on the back of his neck when he slept last night. Said with the evening wind.

"Why didn't you talk about it last night, why did you fall asleep in such a commotion?" Seeing that Aning's spirits were not good, Qi Wanfeng probably didn't sleep well last night.Ah Ning smiled, and stopped talking. Everyone was tired when he came back yesterday, and he didn't want to disturb others.

The two brothers looked at me and I looked at you, and they all laughed.

The finished cooking, Jinyan Jinxiu's two brothers, packed up and put them on the table. Cao Xiangnan came out and saw the miserable conditions of these two people. They were not as good as Xiangzi, and Xiangzi also went to work for half a day yesterday. It's work, nothing happened when I woke up today.

"I don't think you two should go today. It's not bad for the two of you to work." There is a lot of land in that area, and the ones that can be collected should be collected quickly. Cao Xiangnan wanted to hire a few men. Come to help with the work, it will be faster this way, he told Wan Feng of his plan to hire people.

"Why don't you just stay at home and make some food, and send it to the workers later." Cao Xiangnan said.

Collecting grain is all heavy work. He sees that the men who come to work in the fields can’t get enough to eat every day. Why don’t we cook them something to fill their stomachs so that they can work hard? .

Qi Wanfeng nodded, and agreed, "Then Aning and I won't go today, we'll stay at home and cook some food." This way they can take a break and help the husband on the ground.

Seeing Aning's appearance, Qi Wanfeng didn't dare to let him go to the ground. A Ning saw that he had never done this kind of work before. His skin was white, and his face was peeling off from the sun. The pimple on the back of his neck looked like Very ferociously.

He also knows his own body, and there is no need to force himself to go, and no one will take his sick child back home.If he went, Aning would also go with him, so the two of them simply didn't go.

After breakfast, everyone who could work in the family went to the field, even Xiangzi and Kangkang went together.Qi Wanfeng saw that the only ones left were their brothers, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "You see, we are the only ones left."

If people in the village knew that his husband had married a lazy wife, they would definitely gossip about him behind his back.

Aning was a little embarrassed, he didn't know that he was in such a mess by doing farm work all at once.

Sun Bailian looked at a loss, her husband used to be a hunter, and the family didn't do much farming, and he didn't go to the mountains in the past two years, so he followed Cao Xiangnan to buy a few more acres of land for farming.The land at home was still planted by Fu Lang, and now that Fu Lang is not at home, Sun Bailian doesn't expect to be able to do farm work, so he can only hand over the harvesting to Cao Xiangnan to help him collect, the wages of the hirers He paid for it himself, "It's okay, we can help you at home." Seeing Aning blame himself, Qi Wanfeng said hastily.

They worked hard at home for half a day to make a few steamed buns, stuffed with meat stuffed with vegetables, so that they could fill their stomachs with a bit of oil and water.I don't know how many people were eating there, so Qi Wanfeng prepared a little more, and he didn't fear that he couldn't finish the food if he had more food, and he would definitely not be able to eat the food if he had less food.

Only a few of their brothers and a group of children were left at home, and Aning and Liu Amo were left at home, so he and Bai Lian sent the finished Wowotou over there, and passed it to Fu Lang and the boys Send some porridge and water to fill your stomach.

During the busy farming season, everyone eats three meals, and one meal at noon, so that they can work when they are full.

When they came, everyone was up from the field and was getting ready for lunch.The men in the workshop came to work in the field, and the food was taken care of by the workshop, but they had an extra lunch, and they ate porridge and water with a la carte.

"I didn't know what to make, so I made corn bread." Qi Wanfeng mentioned the finished corn bread to Fu Lang, and it was convenient to bring it here.Cao Xiangnan took a look at it, and boasted, "It's ok, it's pretty good." He took two for the two children, and asked people to distribute the rest to everyone, even the men hired to work They all have.

Everyone said thank you repeatedly, you must know that each person can get two of this solid bun, and when they eat it, they will be topped with two bowls of rice.When they bit it open and found that there was still meat inside, they were very grateful for the generosity of the master's family.

After ordering everyone to rest under the tree for a while before going to work, Cao Xiangnan took the two boys and went home with Wan Feng, and went to work in the field for half a day in the afternoon.After eating the food from the master's house, these men worked harder when they were working in the afternoon.

At sunset, the people working in the field also came back.

Those who stayed at home had already prepared the evening breeze, waiting for those who went to work in the fields to return home for dinner.

Slaves are not allowed to eat with their master's family, even if the master's family asks them to sit at the table, they dare not share the table with the master's family.The host family treated them well, so they couldn't break the rules, Jinxiu and Jinyan went to the Liu's to have dinner together.

"Eat more, you two look thinner." Liu Ah really likes the two brothers, he thinks that the two boys in his family are still kissing each other, and he likes the two brothers no matter how he looks at it .

They are all serving at the master's house. If the two elder brothers agree, the marriage of the two boys in his family will also be settled.After all, everyone knows the basics, and it is better than going out to find someone else. They know that they are slaves, and they may not be willing to marry his two boys. Isn't there two ready-made ones?

Both Jinxiu and Jinyan were very embarrassed and thanked each other.When they came to the master's house, they ate better than before, their work was not tiring, and they all gained a lot of weight.

The faces of the two boys sitting opposite were all red, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

The two elder brothers lowered their heads and smiled when they saw it. They were people who had served in a big family.Seeing Liu Ah's expression, they knew what Liu Ah was thinking in their hearts, but they were not disgusted with it.

They used to serve in a big family's house, and the master's house didn't treat them as servants as human beings, they beat them and scolded them.When they arrived at the new master's house, they felt that they had lived a few days as a human being. Master Zhengjun is not a difficult person to serve. They live a much better life here than they did in the rich family.

If they can find a man who treats them well and marry them, that would be a good thing, and they can stay in the master's house and continue to serve them.The two elder brothers glanced at each other, they had a solid foundation in their hearts, and they didn't reject Liu Ah's kindness to them.
