Otherworldly Days

Chapter 467 Plan ahead

It is Qingming Festival in April, it rains a lot at this time in previous years, but this year the sky is sunny, and there has been no rain since spring. Fortunately, the crops in the field have grown, but if the weather is so dry Going down, I am afraid that the crops in the field will not grow alive. Qingming is a day to worship ancestors, and people in the Feng Dynasty also have the custom of worshiping ancestors.

After the spring, the weather gradually warmed up. The children took off their heavy coats and put on thin coats, which made it easier for them to run outside.

Because they had to worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival, they came back to live in Caojia Village for a few days, so as not to run away.

There are many things to worship the ancestors when they come back. Cao Xiangnan followed his fathers to worship the ancestors in the compound, and the ancestors in the clan also wanted to worship together. After the sacrifices were over, two days passed, and the rest was Wanfeng's adoptive father is going to worship there.

It was dawn outside, and the child on the bed also woke up, with a messy little yellow hair standing up on his head, his face covered in a circle, and he didn't know where he was. Little Bao'er threw himself back on the bed again, lying still up.

"..." Cao Ruile.

"Oh, you're awake?" The people who came in saw the child who had woken up on the bed and twisted his buttocks on the bed. Seeing him coming in, he raised his head and looked at him without moving. Softened, Qi Wanfeng smiled and walked over to the child, hugged the child, kissed twice, and touched the other child.

Xiangzi came in to help brother get dressed, Lele always had a serious face, just like a little grown-up.Little Bao'er woke up still in a daze, letting his mother hug him and put on clothes, yawning with his mouth open, he looked extremely cute.

Cao Xiangnan came over to take a look at the two children, grabbed the little fat man and hugged him in his arms, "Let's go, I'm going to eat, and I have to go up the mountain to worship grandpa later." They decided to go up the mountain to worship grandpa today. Grandpa, take the kids with you.

In the past, Qi Wanfeng carried An An on his back to pay homage to his adoptive father. At that time, An An was still young, and Fu Lang went to the town to do some work. During the Ching Ming Festival in those few years, he carried An An on his back to visit his adoptive father's grave. And in the past two years, Husband will bring the child to accompany him.

After breakfast and the offerings were ready, they were ready to go out.

"Let's go, why are you still standing there giggling?" Looking back to see the laughing person, Cao Xiangnan also smiled and asked.

This made the daughter-in-law give him an angry look.

Cao Xiangnan respected his father-in-law who raised his daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart. If there was no father-in-law, where would his wife be?If his father-in-law was still there, he could still honor him well, but it's a pity that he has already left, and there is only a handful of loess left.

After finishing his work the year before last at Cao's house, he prepared sacrifices and took the children of the family together to pay homage to his grandfather, who was his wife's only relative in this world.The jade pendant hanging around his neck is still there, but it's not easy to find someone in the vast crowd!

A group of people went to the mountain side after leaving the door. The mountain road was difficult. The older children could walk by themselves, and the two younger ones had to be carried.Lele also insisted on being led for a short distance. Seeing the child walking hard, Cao Xiangnan bent down and picked up the child.

Cao Ruile turned to look at his father, and let him hug him.

The little white fox squatted on Cao Xiangnan's shoulders, hooking its master's clothes with its two little paws, and sat firmly on the ground.

They didn't have a long way to go, and it was here on a sunny hillside.At the beginning, Qi Wanfeng came to find this place. His adoptive father had brought him here to hunt before, and he saw a field of mountain flowers blooming here. After his adoptive father left, he buried his adoptive father here.

Every year when I come here, Qi Wanfeng feels a little sad in his heart.

The hand was held suddenly, he turned his head and glanced at Fu Lang who was holding his hand, shook his head with a smile at Fu Lang, told Fu Lang that he was fine, and told Fu Lang not to worry.

They cleaned up the surrounding grass a little bit before offering sacrifices.

"The children are here to worship grandpa." Cao Xiangnan called the children over.

An An knew that this was his grandfather, so he knelt down and kowtowed to call his grandfather. He had followed Eum here since he was a child, so he naturally knew that this was his grandfather.The two children Xiangzi and Cao Ruixing also regarded this as their grandfather. Cao Ruile listened to his father's words, took a look and knelt down and kowtowed.

Little Bao'er really doesn't understand anything yet, and asked his father to hold him to say goodbye.

"Good boy." Cao Xiangnan rubbed his face against the very well-behaved child today, and he liked this child so much in his heart. All his children in his family, and his grandpas are everyone's grandpas.

"Father, I brought my husband and the children to see you. I am doing well now, my husband is fine, and the children are fine too. Don't worry, Father..." Qi Wanfeng knelt down to give his adoptive father Kowtow and tell his adoptive father that he is doing well now.

At the beginning, what his adoptive father was most worried about was what would happen to his elder brother after he left. The older he got, the harder it was to talk about others, so at that time he hurriedly talked about a family.Not long after he married, his adoptive father left.

His life was not good in those years, and the end of the hardships can be regarded as the end of his life.Now Fu Lang treats him well, and there are many children in the family. He gave Fu Lang a younger brother and a boy. If he is lucky in the future, he wants to give Fu Lang two more children. The family will be lively if there are more children.

"Father, I will take good care of Wanfeng in the future, and I will take good care of the children, don't worry." Cao Xiangnan knelt down, kowtowed firmly, and called daddy.Compared with calling father-in-law, calling father-in-law is more intimate.

Qi Wanfeng turned his head to look at Fu Lang who knelt down with him, the two met each other, and they saw each other in their eyes.

After sacrificing their ancestors, they took Sun Bailian and his three boys back to live in the town.

It is not easy for Sun Bailian to take care of three children when her husband is not at home.Knowing that Dad has gone far away, Kangkang is much more sensible and will help Amu take care of his younger brothers. Jing Bao is still a child who is not sensible, let alone the third boy, who is still in his infancy. I don't understand anymore.

Sun Amu went to his third brother's place but didn't see Cao Gang, and asked where his third brother's husband had gone, Sun Bailian knew that she couldn't hide it, so she confessed to Amu.

Aunt Sun disagreed with Cao Gang's actions, and reprimanded her, but she felt sorry for her brother in her heart. After the Qingming Festival, she packed her bags and followed her brother to the town, thinking that she could help My elder brother took the children to do things, and the other end of the house was thrown to the head of the house to watch.

"Hey, did you just go like this?" Why don't you take him with you!Aunt Sun who was standing at the back sighed when he saw the carriage leaving and his daughter-in-law went to the third elder brother's house.

Knowing the situation of Sun Bailian's family, Cao Xiangnan and Qi Wanfeng will help them with some problems.

Cao Gui is now the head of the village. Cao Gui is also a village head who knows his abilities. He discusses things with everyone when he can't make up his mind.After Cao Gang left like this, the village was still the same as usual, and the new village head led everyone to do what should be done.

When he was free, Cao Xiangnan also went to Lizheng to sit there. He sat down with Lizheng and had a talk. The walls of the village should be built quickly. This year's rain is not much, so I'm afraid it will be dry this day, and the crops in the field will be dry. I don't know how many people will starve to death by then.

They knew some things in their hearts, and Lizheng also understood when he said this. After all, Lizheng was so many years older, and he took a longer-term perspective.Everyone in the back was looking for a discussion together, and each family in the village took turns sending out people to build the fence around the village.

If the first line of defense can be built, it can play a little role.

In terms of security measures in the village, Cao Xiangnan also gave Li Zheng a suggestion that the people in Cao's Village also start digging tunnels in the village.In this way, if something happens one day, they will have a place to hide. Not to mention that it is not safe to run to the mountains, if something happens suddenly, it is too late to run to the mountains. It is best to have a place to hide at home .

If one day the world is really in chaos and they can't be the saviors to save others, at least they can save themselves first, right?

Considering the current situation, it would be best if they could buy more food. If they couldn't buy it, they could only grow it themselves.Cao Xiangnan wrote a letter to Nanyang, told Shopkeeper Fang about the imperial court's war, and analyzed the current situation. It is best for them to stockpile more food for emergencies.

Cao Xiangnan didn't need to remind him about the food matter. The master sent a letter, and the shopkeeper Fang had already sent someone to take care of it.

People on both sides can write letters, and Cao Xiangnan knew about the outside world even in Fenshui.Although he didn't personally go to the battlefield to fight, but he can do what he can do in the rear, and since he decided to contribute, he started to do it.

Fenshui Town is backed by mountains and rivers, and there are mountains and waters. If the resources are utilized properly, this place should be able to develop better.

Considering the war between the imperial court and Zinu, it’s okay that the battle will be over in three to five months. If it can’t be over for a while, then people and food will be needed later on. The war is all about manpower and material resources.

Thinking about the food, besides asking Shopkeeper Fang to buy and grow grain, Cao Xiangnan brought people to open land to grow grain in Fenshui Town. If something was harvested quickly, he would let people plant it in the ground. What, when the time comes to close the processing storage, and easier to store.

People still have to plan ahead, otherwise it will be too late for that day.

They rely on the mountains here, and there are a lot of mountain products in the mountains. He invited the old Orion to lead a team into the mountains to collect mountain products. .

These dried goods can be stored for a long time after being dried and processed, and they can be sold at that time, or they can be stored as food reserves.

The march was still halfway, and the sun in the west was about to set. The leading general raised his hand and asked the people behind to stop and set up camp here. They will sleep here overnight.

The night was low, and darkness covered the entire sky. The man sitting on the hillside looked at the sky, thinking about his family members in the distance, wondering if they were well, and whether he was thinking about them in his heart.
