Otherworldly Days

Chapter 428 Lights

The ewe at home gave birth to lambs last night, and the children in the family clamored to see them early in the morning when they knew about it. On this kind of day, they had to dress a few little ones outside before they dared to let them out.

It’s okay for the children to be bored at home all day, as long as it’s not snowing outside, Cao Xiangnan will let them get dressed and let the children go outside for a run, blowing the cold wind and making snowmen. They looked like their childhood, he tried his best to satisfy the children in the family.

Before I knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Hearing from Uncle Liu that Sun Ji was coming, Cao Xiangnan went inside. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Sun Ji sitting there, so he wanted to make a joke. Seeing that his face was not very good, he knew in his heart that he was back and that he was home. Fearing that he was in a bad mood about the relatives in the room, he sat down at the opposite seat and asked, "When did you come back?"

"I came back yesterday. Xiang Nan, Chen Yu and I made up." When Sun Ji said this, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't see whether he was sad or sad, but his eyes were blank.Up to now, even he himself doesn't know why he wanted to get married, and they divorced within two days.

Hearing that Sun Ji said that he had divorced, Cao Xiangnan was taken aback. He thought that Sun Ji was in a bad mood when he came back to see a room full of top relatives, and he didn't expect that Sun Ji would make trouble. I, the newlywed Yaner, will let you go to Nanyang, and it will take so long..."

"No, Xiangnan, I don't blame you for this matter, I'm going to go on my own, don't say that, how can this matter be blamed on you, it has nothing to do with you at all." Sun Ji interrupted Cao Xiangnan's words , said seriously.

Don't blame others for this matter, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself.

Although he was angry at the scoundrels and shamelessness of the Chen family, when Chen Yu left, he still gave Chen Yu ten taels of silver, which was regarded as compensation to Chen Yu.The affairs of the Chen family made him unhappy, so he just drove them away, and it didn't go to the point where he had to reconcile with Chen Yu. It was because he didn't want to live with Chen Yu, and he couldn't live with a brother.

In the end, he was the one who was sorry for Chen Yu, and his good brother and husband divorced, and his reputation was ruined.It doesn't matter whether he marries or not in this life, it's just that he has missed others in the end.Fortunately, he had never met Chen Yu before, if he met a good one, it would not be difficult to find a good one in the future.

Seeing Sun Ji's complexion was bad, Cao Xiangnan didn't know how to comfort him, he and Li made up, knowing that the Chen family was confused, and to be honest, he didn't like that family either.

But it's not justifiable to break up so hastily after getting married with so much difficulty?Considering that Sun Ji is not too young in this era, he asked, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

What he asked was if Sun Ji had any plans to find someone else to live with.

"Let's talk about it, don't think about it for now." Sun Ji was not in the mood.

To do this personally is to fulfill his grandpa's wish. Now that he tried it, he found that he couldn't do it at all.For some reason, after all these things happened when he came back, and he reconciled with Chen Yu, he was relieved instead.

Turning his head to take a look, he didn't see Wanfeng and the children, so he asked them where they had gone.

"They are all watching the sheep in the backyard. The ewe gave birth to lambs last night, and the younger ones all ran out to watch the lambs." Just as Cao Cao was saying that Cao Cao would arrive, Cao Xiangnan heard them coming back when he mentioned it .

A group of people came in from the back door, a group of children ran in front, Qi Wanfeng and Aning followed behind with the two little ones in their arms.

"Uncle, Uncle, can Xuanxuan take the little lamb home to raise?" Xuanxuan who ran ahead rushed in first. It was the first time he saw such a cute little lamb when he grew up and wanted to take it home. go.

As soon as he ran in and saw another uncle sitting in the room, Xuanxuan stopped and stood there.

As soon as An An, who was following behind, heard Xuan Xuan saying that he wanted to take his little lamb home, he yelled, "No, no, little lamb..." As soon as An An rushed, he bumped into Xuan Xuan who was standing in front. , Fortunately, he didn't fall down, and the two children hugged together and giggled.

"Be careful, don't fall." Cao Xiangnan saw two little guys running back, followed by two more, he asked, "Seeing Uncle Sun Ji come back, what do you want to say? Huh?"

"Hello, Uncle Sun Ji." Several children asked in unison.

Sun Ji responded with a smile, he liked the group of children in Sun Ji's family very much, he beckoned An'an and ran into his arms without politeness.He had just heard them talking about sheep and asked, "Is the little lamb cute?"

"Well, it's so cute." As soon as he mentioned what he liked, the child chattered endlessly, and Sun Ji listened carefully, with a smile in his eyes.

Qi Wanfeng, who came in from behind, saw Sun Ji who had come back, greeted him, put down the little treasure he was holding in his arms, and let him go by himself.Little Bao'er licked his father's thigh in one fell swoop, with a cracked mouth showing a few milk teeth, and rushed towards him.

Cao Xiangnan took the child over with one hand, and rubbed his face against the child's face. It was still a little cold after the wind blowing outside. He reached in and took out the child's hand to touch it. It was still not cold. It won't be cold either.

"Oh, little Bao'er can walk now? It's been a long time since I saw you." Sun Jicai didn't see Xiao Bao'er for a long time. The child grew up day by day, and changed after a period of time.

"That's right, the children grow fast, and we will be old when the children grow up." Cao Xiangnan said.

Ah Ning and Sun Ji were no strangers, and when they saw Sun Ji came back, they asked.He put Lele, who was full of clothes and was round and round, on the chair and sat down, then poured hot water for the children, and added two sticks of firewood to the stove by the way, so that the fire would be more vigorous. It was still cold when I came back from outside.

After the children stayed in the house for a while, they took off their outer coats.

Sun Jilai didn't stay for long, he talked to Cao Xiangnan about the business in Nanyang City, and he went back first because he still had a lot of business at home.

"Shouldn't you sit for a while longer? Just come and leave." Qi Wanfeng heard that he was going to leave, so he seemed to keep him and sit down for a while.

"No, I still have something to do at home. I'll come back later when I'm free."

"Okay, come when you are free."

Cao Xiangnan sent the man out, comforted him a few words, it was no big deal, he was just divorced, people in his time would leave if they were not suitable, it was rare for people in this small Caojia Village to be divorced .He saw that Sun Ji didn't mean to live with the other party, otherwise he wouldn't have married and never came back. If you can't live this life, don't force yourself. The future will be longer, won't it?

Speaking of which, it was also a coincidence that it snowed heavily a few years ago and the road was difficult.I'm afraid there are many things going on in Nanyang City, it's normal for Sun Ji not to come back from his birth, otherwise this would not have happened.

He patted the man on the shoulder and said, "I wanted to ask you to come over for dinner tonight, but you haven't come back during the Chinese New Year, so you can stay at home with your family tonight, and I will cook some good dishes when I come over tomorrow. The two of us have a good drink."

"Okay, let's drink tomorrow." Sun Ji also knew that he hadn't come back for the Chinese New Year, so he stayed at home to spend the Lantern Festival with his family.

The two made an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow.

They are a small place, and the Lantern Festival is not very lively, and there are people in the town who sell lanterns. Cao Xiangnan doesn't plan to take his family to the town in this cold weather. He plans to get a Kongming lantern to let off, the children Also happy.

Kongming lanterns are not difficult to make. He even sold Kongming lanterns when he was in college, and he can make them himself after preparing the materials.

"Can this thing really be put in the sky?" Qi Wanfeng asked suspiciously when he saw what Fu Lang was making.

Such a thing can be placed in the sky?There is deep doubt in his heart.

"Maybe we will find out at night." Cao Xiangnan blinked and asked, "If you can put it up, how about rewarding me?"

Seeing Fulang's appearance like this is not serious, Qi Wanfeng gave Fulang a look.Seeing that Fu Lang was tossing his things with a few small ones, he couldn't help much, so he took a second look and went to help.

The family is happy and the children are very happy.

In the afternoon, Cao Gang and Wang Dahu went to the mountain to hunt prey, and caught several rabbits, pheasants, and a roe deer, just in time to get some wild game and vegetables.Cao Gang's father-in-law and mother-in-law came, so they cooked and ate at home, picked up the prey and went back, leaving the rest to him.

The dishes for dinner were still very rich. Cao Gang's family didn't come, and there were still quite a few people in their family.The hunted rabbit came back to make soup. The soup in a pot was white and white. It was fresh and delicious. The children in the family drank a lot.Wild game has cooked several dishes, and the whole table is full of meat. Just a few Chinese characters are all meatless, so I don’t worry if I can’t finish eating. If I can’t finish eating, I can take it away.

When it was dark after dinner, they put Kongming lanterns in the yard.

The lit lamp went up, and the children cheered from below. Cao Xiangnan looked up at the raised lamp, and had a wish in his heart, wishing the dead person a good life in the next life. Live happily ever after.

He stretched out his arms to embrace the people around him, he was very lucky to come here, and only after meeting Qi Wanfeng did he have a home.Although this happiness was stolen from others, he did not intend to give it back.

"Fu Lang?" Qi Wanfeng looked at Fu Lang in confusion, wondering what was wrong with Fu Lang.

Cao Xiangnan smiled, leaned over and kissed his daughter-in-law, and said, "I am very happy to have you."

Qi Wanfeng laughed, and so did he.

After the lights were turned off, Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu went back with full stomachs.On the way back, Liu Baishu was still thinking about the Kongming lantern.

The night passed like this.

Everyone has their own happiness, and the unfortunate always have their misfortune.
