Otherworldly Days

Chapter 423

The new year is over, the days are passing day by day, and it will be the new year in a few days.Although it was cold this day, it didn't snow much, and occasionally there was little snow. The market in the town was open every day, and there were many people going to the market.

Remembering that there were no caravans this winter, Cao Xiangnan asked Shopkeeper Zhao and found out that this year’s winter to the north was heavy, and many places were hit by snowstorms. Many people and livestock were frozen to death, and the road was blocked by heavy snow. Therefore, there are fewer caravans traveling from south to north this year.

Making money is important, but life is still important.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are also unavoidable. Every year in the cold winter, people will die of hunger and cold.

Many businessmen were stranded in Nanyang City. Knowing that the snow was heavier and the road was difficult to go to the north, many people stayed in Nanyang City. All the restaurants in the city were full of people, and even Yipinzhai had no A vacant room.Yipinzhai will prepare enough food every year before winter, just in case the snow is too heavy.

Shopkeeper Fang got a letter from their big boss that Yipinzhai would distribute porridge and steamed buns to beggar victims in the city on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

When I got to Fenshui Town, I got the news that this year is almost here.

Talking about this natural and man-made disaster, shopkeeper Zhao sighed, feeling very emotional, "It's not a good day for people, I don't know how many people will die."

Remembering that even in the age of advanced technology, a natural disaster can kill a lot of people, Cao Xiangnan said with a smile, "People really can't rely on God to live their lives. There are so many people in the Feng Dynasty, God can take care of this. If you can’t take care of that, you still have to rely on yourself, right?”

If they still lived in the dilapidated house they lived in when they were kicked out, their family must have survived the winter and would have been tossed to death by the god early. Cao Xiangnan is a person who does not believe in the sky, he always only believes in himself.But let's say you don't believe in God, God has arranged him here, after all, he is a little believer.Let's live this life, in the end we still have to rely on ourselves!

There are brothers and sisters who work this winter, and a lot of wine is produced in the winery. The place where the mushrooms are grown is divided into people, and several rows of shelves have been expanded, and a lot of mushrooms have been planted. A batch of mushrooms came down.

It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and some of the stewards in the town are trying their best to prepare more fresh dishes for the masters in the mansion. The stewards who have bought fresh mushrooms and bean sprouts from Yipinzhai in the past years know this one. There are good things in it, so the delivered goods have been booked early, even if the price is expensive, no one will buy it.

Cao Xiangnan brought his new buddy to deliver goods to this Pinzhai today, and he sat down with a cup of tea and chatted together after being dragged by his elder brother Zhao, and then he knew how the outside world was going.

"Big brother, I'll just sit here today, and we'll drink tea together some other day." After sitting in Yipinzhai for a while, knowing that the building was busy at this time, Cao Xiangnan didn't want to stay here any longer, so he bid farewell to shopkeeper Zhao and left. .

After getting into the carriage, Cao Xiangnan asked the driver to go to Aning.

It was almost the Chinese New Year, and the family member urged him to come to the town to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan to their house for the Chinese New Year.The Malatang business in the store has always been very good. Many people have become regular customers of their store just because of this taste. Aning is reluctant to close the store, otherwise he would have gone to their house for the winter.

A few days ago, I told Ah Ning that I would pick him up and Xuanxuan today, and that the shop will be closed and come back to do business after a year.When Cao Xiangnan passed by, he found that Aning was still tidying up the shop, and only then did he know that his shop was still open for half-day business.

"Seeing that there are customers coming to buy food, how can I not do the door-to-door business, don't you think so?" Ah Ning smiled, and he had a reason, "Just be happy, Xiang Nan, wait a while Wait, it's almost ready."

"..." Cao Xiangnan, you are a brother, you are right, you are right in everything you say!Ask the buddy who came to help Aning pack his things.

The rough man has seen such a good-looking brother, and his face turns red when he looks at it. Fortunately, his skin is dark and he can't tell. The helper is hardworking. Tidyed up first and last.

Aning thanked the other party for his help and smiled gratefully at the other party.

Xuanxuan happily followed Uncle Xiangnan as a little tail, wherever Uncle Xiangnan went, he would go there.Xuanxuan likes Uncle Xiangnan the most, a little less than Amu, and Uncle Xiangnan is the second.

I just don't know how this boy's father will look when he finds out that his father has no place for him here, and is about to treat other men as his father.

Cao Xiangnan didn't know that his own children were so popular before, and after coming here, he was so popular with them.What children like is nothing more than delicious food and playful things. You have satisfied the children with everything. Who do you like if the children don't like it?Even my own father is so dear!

But he also likes these little radish heads very much.

"Catch you!" Cao Xiangnan suddenly turned his head and grabbed the little tail, hugging him.

"Ah..." After being startled, Xuan Xuan yelled, obviously he and Uncle Xiangnan were used to playing this game, and he was not afraid. He put his arms around Uncle Xiangnan's neck and laughed haha, shouted, "Uncle Uncle."

"Hey." Cao Xiangnan responded.

Seeing that one big and one small were making trouble, Aning smiled and shook his head, with a smile on his face, and now the store was packed and closed, so he brought two pieces of clothes for himself and the children , was going to come back to the town to open the door to do business after the Chinese New Year. With the package in hand, he took the children into the carriage and followed Cao Xiangnan to Caojia Village.

In the past, if you were not in charge of the family, you didn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but now you know the hardships of life. Although you can't give your child a rich life, you must make him and the child live a better life.Next year, he wants to save more money to buy a small yard in this town, so that he and his children can have a home.

Thinking of the person who was far away in Fengdu City, Aning shook his head and didn't think about it anymore. He is living a good life with the child now, and he doesn't want to take Xuanxuan back to that place at all.

The carriage staggered towards Caojia Village, and the children were chattering non-stop all the way in the carriage. There was a faint smile on Aning's face. It's fine now, and he likes the present day.

Aning knew that Wanfeng was afraid that he and the child would be deserted during the New Year in the town, so he urged him over and over again to go to his place for the New Year.It’s been two days since the New Year, and it’s even better now, there are so many people going there, and the children are happy.

It was still cold at the end of winter, and they didn't let the children play outside much.The fireplace in the house was burning brightly, and the whole house was warmed up, and the children were playing at home.The youngest Baoer in the family has reached the age where he can crawl to school, so he tidied up all the little things in the living room, for fear that this little naughty little Baoer would be ruined, and the things in this house broken by this little naughty Not a lot.

If something is broken, it will be broken, and they are afraid that the broken thing will pierce the child's feet. If the thing is worthless, they will feel distressed if it pricks the child.

In the twelfth lunar month of this year, Cao Ruile will be one year old and one month more. Little Baoer was born in the first month of the previous year, and it is almost the right age now. Her small body is well-grown and her bones are hardened. After crawling on the ground for so long, one day I learned to stand up by myself, and since then I have the courage to start learning to walk.

It's just that this toddler is very naughty, and Xiao Bao'er is a dishonest kid who can't walk, let alone that he can walk and be safe.But this is not certain, Lele and Xiao Bao'er are about the same age, and there is not much difference in age. Lele has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and Xiao Bao'er grows up and becomes more stern.

There are a group of children in the family, and the two boys from Sun Bailian's family often send him here, so the family is lively.

A little short leg follows behind him, just learning to walk, he can only walk two steps and wants to run with his brothers. This ideal is a bit full, but the reality is quite cruel.Falling to the ground, little Bao'er didn't cry, and stood up lazily, crawling on all fours to chase "!" Cao Ruile, who was in charge of watching his younger brother, put a blank face on his face, and used a speed that a fat man would never have He grabbed the little hind legs of the little Bao'er who was about to crawl away.When Xiao Bao'er was about to hold her mouth, she handed the roasted chestnuts she hadn't chewed to Xiao Bao'er.

With something to eat in his hand, Xiao Baoer narrowed his eyes with a smile, and then turned around and smiled at his elder brother Cao Ruile, showing his two small front teeth. "

..." Brother Cao Ruile turned away awkwardly.

Little Bao'er looked innocent.

Qi Wanfeng was busy in the kitchen, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at the people playing in the living room, and he was busy with his work in peace without hearing the cry.The door of the house opened, and Cao Xiangnan, who had gone to the town to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan, also led his people back.

Jing Bao, who saw him, immediately saw Xuan Xuan who was coming, and was the first to rush over, and the children behind him ran over.

"Xuanxuan... Xuanxuan..."

"Father!" "Uncle Xiangnan." "Ah Ning." "Well, go and play with yours." Cao Xiangnan touched the heads of several children and asked them to play with their own.

Seeing the familiar friends, little Feng Chuxuan quickly added him to the list.

Qi Wanfeng, who was inside, heard the voice and came over, and when he saw Fu Lang who came back, he called out "Fu Lang".Helping Aning carry the baggage in his hand to the house he packed up, the two brothers left together.

When little Bao'er saw the returning father, his eyes lit up, and he was about to crawl over.

The stern-faced Cao Ruile grabbed Xiao Bao'er as soon as she picked her up, and then let go of her hand to let Xiao Bao'er walk over.Standing there, the unscrupulous father squatted down and waited to clap his hands. The meaning was very simple. He walked over and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth.

Cao Ruile, his own father's smile is so silly!But the one who staggered past was even more stupid, he turned his head and didn't want to look at it, and finally stared at the back of the little idiot.

Seeing the wobbly little baby walking towards him and walking into his outstretched hands, Cao Xiangnan hugged the soft and cute baby and kissed it twice, and he also experienced a fatherhood in the little baby. A lot of fun.Seeing his family's fat boy sitting there watching him without moving, he walked over with a haughty face, and stretched out his hand to pinch the little fat boy's face.

"Crack!" Cao Ruile resolutely slapped his father's paw away, and sent a contemptuous look by the way.To Xiao Bao'er is a kiss, to his own son is to pinch, maybe he is the one who was given away for nothing.

"..." dear father.

Turning his head away from his own father's gaze, Cao Ruile didn't want to admit that this was his stupid father.

"Come on, boy, tell your father, do you have something to hide from your father and me?" The more Cao Xiangnan thought about it, the more he felt that this brat in his family was abnormal, and you would treat a child who was only a few months old. Did you roll your eyes at your own father?

"..." Something was hidden from his father's son.

I won't tell you, give up, Cao Ruile gave his father a look. "Hurry up, brat, be lenient when confessing, and strict when resisting!" Cao Xiangnan wanted to extract a confession from his son. "Xiang Nan, what are you doing?" A voice came from behind.

Seeing his daughter-in-law looking at him with a smile when he turned his head, Cao Xiangnan was almost taken aback. He smiled quickly and said, "I'm cultivating a relationship with my son, Cao Ruile, don't you think so?"

Cao Ruile turned her face away, no! "

... "Cao Xiangnan." Puchi... "Qi Wanfeng couldn't help laughing, and even Ah Ning, who was following him, showed a smile on his face, "Let me see you pinching Lele's face again. Just make you look good! "Qi Wanfeng warned his husband not to bully his son because of his cuteness.

"How come, I like our little Lele so much." Cao Xiangnan smiled.

Let's believe you, pray for the evening breeze.

The dinner in the evening was very sumptuous, and Cao Gang and Sun Bailian's family also stayed with them for dinner. Everyone sat around a table, and there were so many children in the family.It wasn't until Cao Gang took his two boys away that the room became quiet for a moment.

It was gradually getting late outside, and the day passed like this.
