Otherworldly Days

Chapter 429

Everyone in Caojia Village knew that as soon as Sun Ji came back, he drove away the relatives who had occupied the magpie's nest, and reconciled with his new wife who had just entered the house.Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.There are people who say anything in the back, good words and bad words.

Sun Ji didn't bother to care what others said about him, he did his own business, and what others liked to say was other people's business.

The words reached the ears of the old man of the clan, who was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a thing to happen, so someone called the step-boy to come over.Mrs. Sun is a talker, and he didn't reprimand his grandson when he found him. Using his experience in most of his life, he said a few reasonable words to this grandson.

Their Sun family hid in this small Caojia Village to hide from misfortune. Life is hard these days, but life is finally getting better now. They also have to go on with one heart, so that they will be better in the future.

The old man didn't know about the affairs of Sun Yanshan's family in advance, and no one brought it up to him, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed the Chen family to dominate their Sun family.Not to mention the fact that the two elders of the Sun family are old, Sun Yanshan has a soft temper, so he let his in-laws bully him, and that's what happened next.

Knowing that the members of the Chen family are so arrogant and ignorant of propriety, justice, and shame, Mrs. Sun doesn't think much of such a family, marrying such an ignorant brother.Their step-boys are the most promising grandchildren of this generation. They look like they are on top of each other. If they reconcile and leave, they will reconcile and leave. In the future, they will marry another good one. On the contrary, they comforted this kid a few words later. .

"It's all Sun Ji's fault. I made the old man worry, so I ask the old man to punish him." Sun Ji knelt down in front of the old man and admitted his mistake.When everyone said it was Brother Chen's fault, he knew in his heart that it was actually his fault.

The old man asked people to get up, but Sun Ji knelt there and did not get up.

Seeing that the stepboy who was kneeling on the ground couldn't get up, the person standing beside him hurried over and pulled him up.

"Okay, this is over. You can go back too. In the future, the old man will pay attention to which family has a good brother and tell you one." Even the old man is worried about the marriage of his grandson. I have never been a matchmaker for anyone, but when I get old, I will talk about matchmaking for my grandchildren.

There are several children of Sun Ji's generation, and the older ones have gone to the academy to study.This kid reconciled with others within two days of getting married. Not only did he have a child, but his wife had nowhere to go. It was also worrying.

Sun Jigong cupped his hands and saluted the old man before turning around and going out.

After breakfast in the morning, Cao Xiangnan was ready to send Aning and Xuanxuan back to the town.

After the Chinese New Year, Aning always wanted to go back to the town to open a shop and do business, but the weather was bad and Wanfeng refused to let him go back.After finally waiting for the fifteenth day, this year is really over, and Aning misses the shop in the town.

Seeing that this year is over, Qi Wanfeng nodded his head to let people go back, otherwise he still wanted to keep him, and it would not be too late to go back to town after this first month.

There was only one package when he came, and half a car was packed for him when he left. Aning stood by and looked at him dumbfounded. Xiangnan, there is really no need to give me so many things anymore, Xuanxuan and I can't finish eating so much meat and vegetables until the beginning of spring."

Besides, he still has food there, so he needs to carry two bags of food for him!

Qi Wanfeng also directed his husband to ask someone to load things into the car, and said, "Take it over there, maybe it will be bad in the future. There is no food for sale outside, and you will stutter inside the house."

He heard from Fu Lang that there was a snow disaster in the north this year, and I don’t know how many people died of starvation. If there is still heavy snow in the future, they can’t even go out. If the food is not prepared, people will starve in the house. Thinking about it like this, Qi Wanfeng doesn't want to let Ah Ning and Xuanxuan go back to the town, and they won't be able to take care of them if something happens.

"It's okay, don't worry." After listening to Wan Feng's words, Ah Ning thought he was worrying unfoundedly. He came to Fenshui and found that it is much better than Fengdu City in winter, even compared to Nanyang. , it's not so cold here.

The twelfth lunar month in Fengdu City was really cold to the bone, and he didn't even want to go out of the house when the winter came.

"Xuanxuan, the little lamb will grow up when you come next time, we must take the lamb out to let it out." "Well, I will come with Eminem next time." Although Xuanxuan didn't get the little lamb, he didn't Angry, because E-Mu said that they have no land to support him, he has to go to school, his E-Mum has to do business, and no one is taking care of him, so Xuanxuan stopped clamoring for it.

The children said goodbye reluctantly, promising to go to herd the sheep together next time.

Aning walked over to hold the child's hand, seeing the child stepping back and forth, he was reluctant to leave, and he promised the child to bring him to play again next time.After helping the child to get into the carriage, he followed suit and waved to the evening wind standing outside.

The carriage headed for the town.

There were not many people in the town at this time, and there were no people on the street when the carriage passed by. Cao Xiangnan sent Aning and Xuanxuan to the shop, walked in to see if there was nothing else he needed to help, and then left.I came over to Cao Ji to have a look. As soon as the snow stopped in Cao Ji, Cao Dapeng came to the town to open the door for business.

Cao Ji has a lot of regular customers. At this time, there is no one on the street, and there are regular customers from the town who come to eat and buy things, so the business here has always been good.This is what makes cooked food so good. As long as it tastes good, no one will come.

But at this time, the Fenshui River hadn't left the boat, and there were no men working on the pier. Cao Ji's biggest customers were still these men working on the pier, which reduced a lot of business.

It was almost noon when Cao Xiangnan passed by, the business in the store was not very good, and there were three or two people eating, which was far worse than usual when there were so many people that there was no place to sit.

As soon as Cao Dapeng saw Cao Xiangnan coming, he pulled someone to sit down, brought a small pot of shochu, and then put a plate of braised pork, braised pig's trotters, stewed large intestine, stewed meat, stewed eggs, this brine is well prepared, and it can be used for everything fragrant.

"It just so happens that today is not so busy, let's have a drink today." Cao Dapeng poured half a bowl of wine into the big bowl. Everyone is busy during the Chinese New Year, and there is no time to sit down and have a drink together. Today I ran into him Just pull people to sit down and have to have a drink.

"Don't drink me up, I have to go home later, I made an appointment with A Ji yesterday to have a drink or two today." Cao Xiangnan didn't refuse, and sat down, with his drinking capacity, at best Just a couple of sips.He glanced at that there was too much wine in the bowl, and poured some more to Cao Dapeng.

"Okay, okay." Cao Dapeng laughed.

It was not particularly busy at this time. Sun Ji returned home, but Sun Yanshan stayed at home, so he came to the shop first, and all the shop assistants came back to work.Knowing about the affairs of Sun Ji's family, Cao Dapeng scolded the members of the Chen family a few times. This man is not good at scolding, so he stopped talking after a few words, and then talked about the things in the store.

He was not a smart person at all, if he hadn't followed Xiang Nan, his family would still be two and a half kids who wouldn't even have enough to eat.Cao Dapeng had no other thoughts. He listened to his wife's words and devoted himself to following Cao Xiangnan to complete the shop. The better the business here, the more money he would get every month. If the shop didn't open, he would have no money. He didn't have any money to take, so he rushed over early to open the door to do business as soon as the new year was over. This business is more or less, and how much money is there in the end.

The two of them sat down to drink and listened to Cao Dapeng talk about the store. Cao Xiangnan was running around a lot now. He only came here to have a look at the store when he was free. Few of them came here to say that they were looking at the store.The store hired a clerk, and Sun Yanshan was in charge of the accounting, and Cao Dapeng was also responsible for the accounting of the in and out, and Cao Dapeng was in charge of shopping.

Fenshui Town is different from Nanyang City. There are only so many people here, and there is only so much they can consume, and there will be no more. Therefore, it is unrealistic to open a branch in this town.But it's different in Nanyang City, there can be two more stores there, but there is not enough supply.

After the next year, Cao Xiangnan also has a new plan. He only needs to wait for the winter snow to melt and a boat on the Fenshui River to run away, and he still has to go to Nanyang City.

After drinking two sips of wine with Cao Dapeng, Cao Xiangnan left after lunch, and went to Yipinzhai once, drank a cup of tea with Fang's shopkeeper, and went back to pick up two big fish from Yipinzhai. Be polite to shopkeeper Fang, there is no fish to sell on the pier at this time.

"Father, I'm going to eat at Xiangnan's place tonight, so I won't come to eat. You don't have to wait for me to cook with Grandpa and Grandpa." Sun Ji came back and found that the food at home was almost gone, meat and vegetables There was not much left, and he knew that Xiang Nan would prepare enough food for his family for a winter before winter came.

But when the meeting is gone, he can only find a way to get enough food for the family. It happened that there was pork for sale in the village early in the morning. He bought a lot of meat and came back. The familiar uncle brought back a few melons, which was enough for his family to eat until the beginning of spring.

It was not easy for him to borrow from Nan, knowing that there was not much food in Xiang Nan.It was only when Sun Ji came back that he found out about the group of men brought by Wang Dahu. He didn't care too much about things that he shouldn't be in charge of here in Xiangnan, and he just did his own duty.

He hasn't seen that person since he came back. He met him last time in Nanyang City, and the two of them severed their relationship.He chose it himself, so who can he blame?It's just that no one came looking for him after he came back, and Sun Ji felt a little uneasy.

After telling the family, Sun Ji went out with a pork knuckle in his hand.

Sun Yanshan didn't dare to sigh in front of his son, and after his son left, he found a place where no one was around and sat down to smoke the dry tobacco in one gulp.Some time ago the house was noisy all day long, the whole room was full of people, but now it is empty and quiet, and his son's daughter-in-law is gone, Sun Yanshan still blames himself for this.

In the evening, no one else came to drink at home, only Sun Ji.

After Wanfeng and the children left after having dinner, there were only the two of them left at the dinner table. Cao Xiangnan had known Sun Ji for so long, and he always laughed at everyone. After drinking for a while, he found that Sun Jishi had changed a lot in the past year.

How should I put it, it should be said that this person has matured, which is a good thing, people always grow up.

"What's the matter, do you have something on your mind? Don't bother to talk to me?" Picking up the wine glass in front of him, he clinked the glass with Sun Ji. He drank light red wine, and Sun Ji's bowl was white wine. I don't have much interest in wine, otherwise I will die if I drink two meals a day.

His intuition told him that Sun Ji's concern was not because of the Chen family and Li's elder brother, but probably for other reasons.

Sun Ji looked at Cao Xiangnan and said nothing. He couldn't tell others about the matter between him and Wei Qi. The relationship between the two came and went quickly.Later, when he got married, he broke the relationship completely.Even if he is reconciled now, there is no guarantee that one day he will have to marry a brother under the pressure of his father and mother, because he himself is not worthy of that person.

Even though he understood, his heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness.

After all, he didn't say anything, and his son-in-law didn't mention anything between him and Wei Qi.

Knowing that Sun Ji was not in a good mood, Cao Xiangnan drank with him and talked about what happened in the village and his workshop when he was away, and also about the brothers brought by Wang Dahu. Arrange to work in the workshop.

However, several workshops have not started work now because there is not enough raw material, so on the issue of raw materials, Cao Xiangnan has learned a lesson this year, and must prepare enough raw materials in the future. And there are at least several months before the beginning of spring this year.

The two of them chatted a lot when they sat together, and then they talked over to the workshop and then to Nanyang.Cao Xiangnan suddenly talked about the time when he and Wei Qi went to Nanyang years ago, "Wei Qi didn't come back with me when he came back, saying that there was something to do, that kid left me and left."

"This brat!" He scolded that he never heard from this brat as soon as he left, and he never sent a letter back. Your younger brother is still under my pressure!He even suspected that Wei Lin was not Gan Weiqi's real brother, but the two of them didn't look much alike, Wei Qi was shrewd at first glance, and Wei Lin sold the money back to the number, that's the difference.

"He, he didn't come back with you?" Sun Ji was taken aback, and asked with a bit of astonishment on his face.

"Yeah, I ran away halfway, and I didn't say where I was going." Cao Xiangnan didn't notice anything wrong with Sun Ji, it should be said that something was wrong with Sun Ji all night, not to mention that he didn't notice the particularly wrong point.

The people behind got drunk at his place, afraid that his family would wait for him to go back, so Cao Xiangnan called boy Liu Yuan to help him into the carriage, and drove the carriage back to Sun's house.Sun Yanshan had been waiting for his son to come back, thinking that he would look for him if he didn't come back, when he heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door and helped the drunk son back to his room.

After sending him home, Cao Xiangnan and Sun Yanshan said hello and left.

Standing in the room and looking at his drunk son, Sun Yanshan's face became more worried, and he sighed, after cleaning up his son, he went to bed with him.
