Otherworldly Days

Chapter 424 Years Ago

Years ago, Cao Xiangnan asked Cao Ada, a pig butcher in the village, to kill two big pigs and send some to the academy. Zheng Xiucai's family lived there, and later invited a few skilled old gentlemen to arrange a house there. There are also a few orphans who are doing odd jobs and studying at the same time, and they have always lived in the dormitory of the academy.

A few orphans were also taken in later, adding up to more than a dozen children there.In the past, Zheng Xiucai took care of more than a dozen children. Later, when Zheng Xiucai got busy, he handed over to his wife to take care of them.

He just does his best to do what he can, no matter how far away he can't control it.

A few old people in the village also sent meat over there, and Wang Dahu sent half a pig over there. There are many people there, and they are all men and have a lot of land to eat. Give them a new year's meal and a satisfying meal of meat. .

During the Chinese New Year holidays in the compound, Cao Xiangnan also asked him to send things there. During the Chinese New Year, someone killed a pig, and the pork he sent was [-] to [-] catties, two sets of pork knuckles, [-] catties of bacon, and four strips. Big fish, two jars of wine and some prepared snacks and the like were loaded into a cart together and pulled over.

His eldest brother and second brother have been separated here in the compound, and it is not good for him to just send it to his father and mother. Every time he prepares it together with his elder brother, and now that Cao's second brother has been separated, there is an extra one. share.

In any case, it is a fact that he took the body of someone else's son. No matter how bad it is, Ah Mu is the one who gave birth to this body. Cao Xiangnan also fulfilled his duties as a son and did what he should do.As long as they are safe, he doesn't mind giving them a little favor when it's due.

In other places, Cao Xiangnan asked the two boys of the Liu family to deliver the meat, but here in the compound he personally delivered the meat.

"Fourth Uncle is here, oh, come right here, I have sent so many things here, it's what the family spends so much money on, come in quickly." When Chen Li saw their Fourth Uncle coming, the expression on her face Laughing, as enthusiastically as if they were a family, as if there was no such thing as colluding with his mother to drive their fourth uncle's family out.

Now he and his husband are both working with his fourth uncle, and the monthly wages are enough for their family to live a good life. He and his husband are discussing how much more money they will save next year, which is not enough. Their fourth uncle borrowed a little more and built a few green brick and tile houses.

The wages of the housekeeper and the people in the workshop in the garment workshop are higher, and it is fine to hire a few outsiders to do the work, but his big brother doesn't even let him in as a worker in the workshop.But Chen Li is also smart now, even if she is dissatisfied with his fourth uncle, she hides her dissatisfaction in her heart, and her face is warm and affectionate when she sees people.

Seeing how enthusiastic his elder brother was, Cao Xiangnan's smile seemed to be too much to deal with, and he called out "Big Brother".

"Father, Mom, Ah Gui, fourth uncle is here..." Chen Li shouted inside.

The people inside heard the sound, Cao Fugui opened the door of the house and saw his fourth uncle coming, and walked out.As soon as Zhao Xue, who was in the house, heard that their fourth uncle had come, she immediately urged his husband to go out, don't let others snatch all the good things, the weather outside is so cold, Cao Gaojin didn't even think about it Going out, as soon as he went out and saw that his fourth brother was here to deliver things, his attitude changed immediately.

"Fourth brother, what good things did you bring here?" Cao Laowu showed a big smile when he saw the things being unloaded from the carriage, and walked over there to have a look without being polite.

Before, because of going to his fourth brother and asking him to arrange a job for him, the two brothers were a little unhappy.He has nothing to do at home now, his wife gave birth to a boy, and there will be more places to ask for money in the future, and he is still thinking about how to get a high-paying and good job with his fourth brother.

"It's nothing, I just want to send a knife and meat to my father and mother during the Chinese New Year, and I will also prepare a copy for my elder brother by the way." Cao Xiangnan doesn't like his fifth younger brother very much, and he has been counting on his pocket all day long He couldn't like the hard-earned brothers in the family.

He knew that Cao Laowu hadn't given up taking benefits from him, and Zhao Xue was also a formidable person, who would visit him every few days, and bring back two handfuls of vegetables from the field with a satisfactory basket.

So now Cao Xiangnan is thinking about moving to the town after the next year, and he doesn't bother to deal with these people every day.

If it wasn't for the New Year's Eve, he wouldn't even want to come here. In his heart, he was thinking about the father and mother of the two elders with this body.As for these brothers, except for his eldest brother who has a little affection for his fourth brother, the rest of them are not thinking about moving the money in his pocket back to his own pocket.

Seeing Cao Laowu's actions, Cao Xiangnan hid his disgust in his eyes, he was too lazy to care about this kind of person, if he really cares about it, he will become enemies with everyone in the compound.He didn't see his second brother, but he didn't see Cao's second brother. He must be lying on the bed in the house as a master and asked Wang Yan to serve him.

To say that there are few people with broken arms and legs, there are quite a few of them now.Others can work to support themselves, and by the way, they are thinking of saving some money to marry a wife in the future. If your second brother, Cao, can break his leg if he doesn't do it himself, he will be a master when he comes back?This really has a face!

At this moment, the children in the house also ran out one by two, and surrounded him.Seeing the children surrounding him, Cao Xiangnan didn't like the children in the compound much, he only said to his elder brother, "There is a box of pastries and snacks there, elder brother, when you see it later, share some with the younger ones." .”

"Hey, okay, okay, why are you kids so ignorant, stop surrounding your fourth uncle, and go play around.

"Chen Li was upset when she saw his fifth uncle rummaging through things. She smiled at his fourth uncle and said, "It's cold outside, and fourth uncle is going to sit in the house. In the hall. "

"Let your elder brother and the others move the things outside." The fourth uncle can say that they also have a share of the things inside, but when she thinks of him, Chen Li gritted her teeth in her heart, and wanted to take advantage of it. His mother didn't come out, so he divided up the things outside first, and took the share that fourth uncle gave them back.

Father Cao, who was in the room, heard the voice, opened the curtain and came out.

Seeing his father coming out, Cao Xiangnan nodded with a smile, walked over to his father, and called out "Daddy."

"Are you delivering something again?" Father Cao glanced over there and asked.

"Let Uncle Uncle kill a pig today, and Dad bring some meat here, as well as some fish and two jars of wine..." Followed behind his Dad and went inside, Cao Xiangnan didn't say in detail what he brought. Come over with something, anyway, there are a lot of things, he has prepared everything for him.

There is also a custom in the village that the sons who are allotted give meat to their parents during the New Year. The meat they send is five catties, but here he starts with a few dozen catties.It's not that he doesn't have any money now, and he's not short of the money. He will give what he should give, and he won't give what he shouldn't.

Seeing him in the house, Emma was sitting on the heated Kang, and seeing him go in, his face was not half happy.

Cao Xiangnan yelled "Em", and his Eminem responded with a hum. He knew that his Eminem was still complaining that he didn't hand over the account to his fifth brother.Leave it to Cao Lao Wu to take care of?Don't put all his money in his own pocket, because when the time comes, he will be jailed if he reports to the official!

He sat down with his father, and after a while, his eldest brother and fifth brother also came in together, even Zhao Xue came over with his son in his arms, and the child who was eating cakes in his hand also ran in.

When his mother saw Zhao Xue and took the child out of the house in the cold weather, it was inevitable that she would scold her. His father looked over and said, "Okay, don't say a few words." His mother immediately stopped talking.

Seeing a group of little ones eating pastries, Chen Zhu glared at his eldest daughter-in-law, and said, "Put everything away, don't let the little ones spoil it." Chen Lino replied , "There's a lot left over there."

Father Cao's complexion is not very good, and he is not easy to attack.

I heard from his elder brother that his third brother has not heard from him since he went back to his husband's house, and he said that he was worried about his third brother's life, which means that his third brother hasn't been there since he went back to his husband's house for the New Year. Cao Xiangnan smiled inwardly when she heard that her mother's family brought some things over.

But speaking of his third brother, someone sent him a few gifts, and the gifts were quite generous. Thinking about it, Cao Chunqing also understood that when he had an accident, his father, mother and other brothers He just abandoned him, only his fourth brother has a bit of brotherhood, and more importantly, he has the ability to help him, so his third brother wants to have a good relationship with him, the fourth brother.

His third brother sent someone to send a gift, and he sent someone to send a copy according to the gift, neither light nor heavy, just right.The day before yesterday, his third brother also sent someone to send something. Cao Xiangnan didn't think that his third brother didn't send someone to this compound. He presumably gave up on his own parents.

Listening to what his big brother said, Cao Xiangnan didn't say anything, just listened.

His mother hasn't given up on wanting him to arrange a job for his fifth brother, and he didn't nod.Sorry, he doesn't keep idlers here!If it weren't for his elder brother and elder brother Mo's hard work, he wouldn't have left people there to work.

As for his father's place, he later wanted to arrange a job for his father, but his father refused to go, saying that he didn't want to cause him any trouble.This is also true, his father has gone, and his fifth younger brother must also go here.

Sitting in the house for a while, took a sip of the water at hand, Cao Xiangnan left from the compound without staying.

His elder brother sent him out the door and told him to come back more often when he was free.

Cao Xiangnan responded, and let the boy outside drive the carriage away.
