Otherworldly Days

Chapter 426 New Year's Eve

On the first day of the new year, the family prepared a lot of snacks early, such as dried pork, dried fruit, candy, peanuts and melon seeds. These things are all prepared for the children who come to the house to pay New Year's greetings.

In the morning, the children in the family also got up one by one.

"Father, happy new year, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes." An An clasped her hands together to give Father a hundred years in a respectful manner, and stretched out her little hand to ask for the lucky money.

"Happy New Year." Cao Xiangnan looked at his cute and cute little brother, stretched out his hand to pinch the child's pretty face, took out the lucky money that he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket, and gave it to the child, saying, "An'an is also safe and happy Happy to grow up."

"Thank you Dad." Xiao An'an smiled brightly, and danced with the New Year's money given by Dad.

Cao Xiangnan smiled and rubbed the child's head. He still remembered the child with short legs holding a big bowl and shaking him with water. He didn't expect that he would grow up to be so big in a blink of an eye, and now he was also an older brother.

"Happy New Year, Daddy. Daddy is in good health and everything goes well." This is Xiangzi's.

"Happy New Year, Daddy, Gong Xi Fa Cai." Xing Xing, who followed Elder brother, had bright eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Xuanxuan also imitated An'an's strange New Year's greetings to his uncle.

After a child paid him New Year's greetings, Cao Xiangnan gave the child a New Year's money. The children were very happy to receive the New Year's money.After seeing the two little ones, he teased his fat boy and asked his father to pay New Year's greetings to his father, and only gave the lucky money after saying good things.

Cao Ruile turned his face away, he didn't want it!The two golden fruits just want to coax him to say something nice!

Little Bao'er grabs her father's hand and calls "Daddy", how much she likes this little look!It was really a pity that Xiao Baoer was the most pity. Cao Xiangnan took Xiao Baoer and kissed him several times, stuffed the lucky money in the child's pocket, and then took his fat boy, gave the lucky money after kissing him, and gave each of them a gift. lucky money.

For the sake of the lucky money, Cao Ruile didn't wipe the drool off his face.Seeing that little Bao'er kissed his father's face several times in response to his father's request, he pursed his mouth and watched, so as not to kiss his father.

"Come on, give Dad a kiss." Cao Xiangnan said to Fat Xiaole who was looking at him, pointing to his face.

Cao Ruile turned his head aside, no!

Hearing the sound of little Bao'er giggling, he took the initiative to move his little butt into his father's embrace, and his little face was kissed several times by his own father, even Little Bao'er leaned on his face to make ends meet water.

Xiao Lele, who was drooling on her face, had a wooden face, but she was really embarrassed.

Early in the morning, Liu Guizhong also brought his family, big and small, to pay New Year's greetings to the master. Cao Xiangnan and Qi Wanfeng distributed the red envelopes they had prepared earlier, and each of them got two red envelopes.

The master said that they could redeem their deeds of selling themselves when they saved enough money, but Liu Guizhong said that they are the master's people and they will be the master's people all their lives, so he didn't plan to sell the whole family. The deed of selling his body was redeemed.They are here at the master's house, and the master's family doesn't regard them as people. The two boys work with the master's house, not to mention the monthly rewards, even if the two elders are here to watch the yard, how much money they have every month. I also saved a lot when I came down.

The two dogs in the yard ran behind, so as not to scare the children who came to visit the house for the New Year.

Fortunately, God gave me a blessing, the days of the Chinese New Year were fine, the weather was clear, and the sun was out, casting a faint golden light on the ground.The yard of his house was outside the village, and the children of the village waited for their friends before coming in small groups.

The older children who came to pay New Year's greetings were about ten years old, and the younger ones were only three or four years old, so they followed the older ones. Cao Xiangnan gave a lucky money to each of the children who came.When he came to his house, he was not stingy, letting the children eat in their mouths and walk around in their pockets.

Unexpectedly, the group of children living in the academy also came over early in the morning, and a group of children wished him New Year greetings.Cao Xiangnan stretched out his hand and touched the child's head, feeling extremely emotional in his heart, he gave the red envelope and the child refused to accept it, and when he saw that the child refused to accept it, he said with a stern expression, "Hurry up and follow it."

"Thank you, master." The child just took it, the first child took it, and the following children followed suit one by one.

Qi Wanfeng was at the side filling snacks for these shy children, filling the children's pockets so much that they couldn't fit them, "Good boy, take them home to eat." He knew these children, Fu Lang arranged for these children to live in the academy, These children read while working, and in autumn they went up the mountain to pick fruits.

He is sorry for these children, but there are several children in the family, and it is impossible for him to bring all the children who have lost their fathers and mothers, so he has to ask Fu Lang to give these children a full meal and live in a house. .

Xiangzi knows that he and brother are lucky. If they meet their uncle and brother later, maybe he and brother will just live in the academy like all the children who have lost their parents, instead of He was taken back to his uncle's house and treated like their children.

People's hearts are also selfish, and Xiangzi is grateful in his heart that they were one step faster, so that he won the love of his uncle and Momo like his father and mother.

Many people came to their home to pay New Year's greetings in the morning, and familiar people from the village came one after another, and none of them came with empty hands, and they all brought something.When Cao Xiangnan left, he didn't let anyone go back empty-handed, and he was prepared to take them away with courtesy.

His fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law also came to the compound with their children, but his eldest brother and second brother did not come. It is not right for an elder brother to wish his younger brother New Year's greetings, and he and Wanfeng went there for the New Year's greetings.

"Fourth brother, daddy mentioned you yesterday. Dad told you and fourth brother to go back when you have time, and have a family meal together." Of course Cao Gaojin wanted his fourth brother to go back, and New Year's greetings are indispensable when he goes back. , He also told Eminem that if his fourth brother asked him in the past, Eminem must mention to his fourth brother that he would arrange a job in the next year.

The account manager can't give it to me, so it's okay to arrange a manager, right?He had heard that his fourth brother's clothing workshop was full of hired brothers, even his eldest brother was working there, and even the manager was hired.

Brother, besides warming the bed and giving birth, hasn't he been able to do anything big? !It's better to let his brother take care of it. After all, he is also a man and can read a few words.Little do they know that the buddies in the entire garment factory have to read and read every day, and the managers have to be doubled, otherwise they will be replaced if they fail the assessment. The managers are working hard with all their strength, and now even the accounts are being handled by the managers. .

"Yeah, fourth brother, fourth brother, I miss you so much, you have to go back to your house for a while, after all, we are also a family, there is no reason to kiss our own people with outsiders, four you say yes Right?" Zhao Xue echoed.

Cao Xiangnan just smiled, would his mother miss him?I'm afraid the sun is going to come out from the west!Outsiders will give charcoal in a timely manner, and relatives will only stab you in the heart to make you die faster. He dare not treat these people as a family.

Later, guests came to the house one after another, and he didn't have much time to pay attention to his fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law.Seeing his fourth brother beckoning others to let him, the fifth brother, sit here in embarrassment, Cao Gaojin angrily took his wife and children and left.

I went to his fourth brother and sat on the bench. Cao Gaojin scolded his fourth brother as soon as he went out, but he didn't know that his words were accidentally heard by others.

When Cao Xiangnan's words reached Cao Xiangnan's ears, he just sneered, eat what I have, take what I have, and scold me behind my back?

He still wants to give money to this kind of brother for nothing, and give wine and meat to this kind of brother, it's just blind!

From then on, Cao Lao Wu and Zhao Xue came to him and went back empty-handed.

People from the family came over all morning. Aning brought the two young ones to play in the house, and the older ones would also run in.You Lele is willing to play in the house even in Xiao Baoer, and will not go out to play around.

In Cao Xiangnan's mind, he planned to build two more yards. After that, he could arrange the comings and goings of his family. He thought about going to Feng Guang to talk about it later, and see if they could arrange people to come out to help him. He builds a house.

A morning passed like this, and the number of people who came to the house gradually decreased.

After lunch, he asked Wanfeng to take a nap with the little ones at home, and Cao Xiangnan rushed out.There are not many elders in the village who need to go there, and he doesn't get close to some elders in the clan. He has to go to Lizheng's house, and he also has to go to the third uncle's place and the courtyard. Don't take it easy.

No matter how his parents treated him at the beginning, it will be over after this matter is over, if he is not filial, his reputation will not be good in the future.

The three boys from Lizheng's family all came back this year, the eldest Cao Yongchang, the second Cao Wenxuan, and the third Cao Wenwu. Cao Xiangnan had met them before, and they all chatted well with the third brother.Cao Yongchang worked as an official in other places, and he still has to leave after the next year.This kid Cao Wenwu was running around, and when he came back to the village, he would look like a savage. Cao Xiangnan took a fancy to this kid who was quick-witted and courageous. He had been to the south and knew where he was, so he thought of a way. Keep the boy down to do the work for him.

"I won't stay, I won't stay anymore, I'll go to the third uncle's place in a hurry." Li was about to ask him to stay for a drink and dinner, but Cao Xiangnan hurriedly waved his hand, and he went out the door.

He sent wine and meat to the third uncle. The old man opened the jar and smelled the wine, and even gave him a smiling face.By the way, I went to a few good friends and sat down, and sealed the lucky money for the child.

Finally, I went to the compound to pay New Year's greetings to his father and mother. His father and mother meant that he would arrange a job for his fifth brother and fifth brother after the year, and his mother specified that he should arrange it. His fifth younger brother went to work in the garment workshop and asked Zhao Xue to work in the garment workshop, but Cao Xiangnan didn't agree and sat down without drinking any water.

This person has a big heart, he can swallow everything, and he doesn't think about whether he has the ability.

The second day of the new year is the day when my brother returns to his natal family to visit relatives.

Wanfeng's adoptive father left early, and his adoptive father didn't have any other relatives. Once this person left, Wanfeng's natal family had no one left, so there was no need to leave relatives.Cao Xiangnan took Wanfeng and the child to the town, took the child to Yipinzhai to pay New Year's greetings to shopkeeper Zhao, and then went to Luo Ronghuan's place.

Luo Ronghuan bought a new yard at the back of the medical hall, and he was the one who introduced the hired master to repair the yard. He repaired it according to the fireplace in his house, and it was much warmer in the house this winter.The second elder was also taken to live in a new yard by him. On weekdays, the old doctor Luo would go back to the medical clinic to see people.

After the third day of the new year, there were fewer people coming and going at home, and they also stayed in the house and did not run around.
