Otherworldly Days

Chapter 418 A smooth return

The next day was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the two of them got up together early in the morning. He cooked the Laba porridge last year. This year, Wanfeng said he cooked it, so Cao Xiangnan told Wanfeng how to cook it. He prepared all the ingredients yesterday. .Laba porridge is also miscellaneous grain porridge. It is not difficult to put many kinds of miscellaneous grains into a pot and cook the porridge. The cooked porridge is Laba porridge.

"I went to the town to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan, and I'll buy some fish and meat by the way."

"Okay, come back soon after picking up Aning and Xuanxuan."

After breakfast, Cao Xiangnan went to the town to pick up Aning and the children, and bought some fresh fish to cook some delicious dishes for the festival.Half of the winter has passed, and most of the food I eat is the food stored at home. The meat and vegetables have been frozen for a long time, and I am tired of eating for so long. I want to change to something fresh.

On a good day, there will be fishermen going out to fish. Experienced fishermen cut holes in the frozen river and lower their nets into the holes. If they are lucky, they will be full of fish.It was also Cao Xiangnan's luck. As soon as he arrived at the pier, he ran into a fisherman who was selling fish. He picked a few big fish. When buying fish, he met an acquaintance and said hello.

At this time, as soon as some fresh fish came up on the pier, everyone was rushing to buy it. After he bought the fish and left, some servants in charge of the mansion were still rushing to buy fish.Laba is the festival, so I have to buy some fresh fish for the host's family to cook some delicious dishes after the festival, but I can't buy it if I go too late.

After shopping, Cao Xiangnan went to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan.

"Uncle." Xuanxuan who was inside ran out when he heard the voice.

Cao Xiangnan squatted down to catch the kid who jumped at him, picked him up and found that the child's hands were heavy, "The boy has gained a lot of weight, it seems that he has eaten a lot recently." He slapped the child's buttocks twice , said with a smile.

Xuanxuan hugged his uncle's neck with both hands, and he was a little shy to tell his uncle that he was heavy, but even if his uncle told him that he was heavy, he never intended to come down, and he would never let go while hugging his uncle's neck with both hands.

Aning, who was behind, came out and saw his family Xuanxuan ran to Cao Xiangnan's arms to hug him. He smiled helplessly and said, "Xiangnan, you don't even know that this child has been talking about wanting to go to bed since before going to bed last night. I went to your house, got up early in the morning and read it all morning, and kept asking why my uncle didn't come to pick him up."

"Xuanxuan come down quickly, why do you want Uncle Xiangnan to hug you, Xiangnan, don't spoil this child, put him down."

"Haha...really? It seems that uncle is wrong. Uncle just went to buy the fish and meat that Xuanxuan likes to eat, so it took a little time and came a little late. Baby Xuanxuan is still a child no matter how old he is. Uncle can hug the ground and move Xuanxuan, but he still hugs baby Xuanxuan." Cao Xiangnan turned his head and kissed the little guy's white and tender face, put the baby into the car, and said, "Let's go to Uncle's house, and uncle will make a good job for Xuanxuan." food."

Xuanxuan raised his head and took a peek at his mother, and found that he was not angry, so he grinned happily.When Aning saw the smile on the child's face, he also smiled and shook his head in his heart, after all, he was also a child.

He stretched out his hand to help Aning get into the car, Cao Xiangnan followed behind, and said to the boy who was driving outside, "Go, go back." "Drive..." The boy who drove the car pulled the rope, and the horse started to run.

The carriage went to Caojia Village, sitting in the rickety carriage along the way, listening to the child and Cao Xiangnan talking, Ah Ning remembered the days when he took this road, every step was very difficult at that time .

Thinking of his child almost drowning because of his carelessness, Aning was covered in cold sweat when he thought of it now. He couldn't imagine how he would live alone without this child.It was his and his child's luck to meet Cao Xiangnan and Qi Wanfeng, and it was thanks to Cao Xiangnan that his child saved his life.

And now he and his children have a place to live, food to eat, and Xuanxuan can also send them to study, all because of the help of Cao Xiangnan and Qi Wanfeng, he is grateful to them two in his heart, if it weren't for them, today would be the same. Without their father and son sitting here.

Looking back now on the difficulties that have passed, everything is in the past.

As for Cao Xiangnan and Qi Wanfeng's help to their father and son, all Aning can do is to do a good job in the store and make a little money, so as not to be ashamed of Cao Xiangnan's help to them and the trust in him.

The carriage quickly returned to Cao's Village, Sun Bailian and the child were already at their home, but Cao Gang wasn't there yet, he sent the people here and went to work.Qi Wanfeng was very happy to see Aning and the child coming, and took Aning's hand to go inside happily.

The family cooked and ate Laba this day, and it was a big table. Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu also came over. Every time they came, they would bring two men with them, and they didn't bring too many.Gradually, Cao Xiangnan was able to call out the names of each of the men who came, and he could match the names with the people, and recognized the people.He wouldn't treat these guys badly when they came to his house, they only had enough wine and meat, and they would go back when they were full.

He will leave this group of people to Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu, and he will go to have a look when he has time.

He wrote the art of war for Liu Baishu, and Liu Baishu is also responsible for teaching these Chinese characters to practice calligraphy and teaching these men the art of war.Many of these men can't read a single character, and it's hard for them to go to the battlefield to let them know how to read, but after so many more than two months, these men can more or less understand a few words, everyone My favorite is this strategy.

The first time he got these art of war, even Liu Baishu was overwhelmed by the contents of the art of war.Fighting wars is not purely just blindly fighting, there is still a lot of learning here.

Just like Xiang Nan imagined, if one day all the soldiers know how to use military tactics, what kind of team they will have, Liu Baishu can't imagine.Even though these soldiers were all wounded and retired from the battlefield, sometimes Liu Baishu would think, if these soldiers knew the art of war before, would they be different now?

But speaking of it, they could be regarded as a blessing in disguise. They came to Cao's Village and had another opportunity.Cao Xiangnan also often encourages everyone that all roads in life will lead to success, but the roads are different, and the results are the same, so let everyone not belittle themselves.

What he can do now is to teach these retired soldiers how to take another path.If these soldiers succeed, the soldiers who retire in the future will also have a good reference.

After eating, everyone was about to leave. Seeing that Cao Xiangnan was about to send him out, Wang Dahu hurriedly raised his hand to stop him from sending him, "I know where the door is, so you don't have to send it to Xiangnan. Don't be polite, we will Walk."

The man with bad legs and feet walked quickly with a cane, and the man with a knife mark on his face, although he looked fierce, he was actually a very gentle person in his heart.

Little Bao'er is now learning to walk, but this man almost fell off when he was walking just now, but this man quickly picked up the child, Xiao Bao'er was not afraid of this fierce-looking man, he giggled, but made this man fall to the ground He was at a loss, but it was the man's at a loss that made everyone laugh.

Liu Baishu nodded to Cao Xiangnan, and said, "Xiangnan, there is no need to send it off, let's go back."

"Okay, then I won't see you off, I'll come over whenever I think about it later." Cao Xiangnan stood at the door, seeing Liu Baishu lift up the curtain and go out, Wang Dahu was still waiting outside, waiting for Liu Baishu who went out later, and then came together Walk.

The people who came to eat at home left one by one, and Ah Ning and Xuanxuan stayed at their home for the night.

On the second day, Aning was about to rush back to the town. Seeing that it was a good day, Aning still thought about going back to open a shop and do business.Qi Wanfeng had nothing to do with him, so he had to ask Fu Lang to send him back, and told Aning to bring the children to him for the New Year.

"Okay." Aning held the child in his arms, and waved to the people who saw him off outside, "It's windy outside, go inside quickly."

In this strange place, he and his child had a place to soothe their nerves, as well as a lifelong friend.

"Wanfeng, you go back to the house, I'll take them back." Cao Xiangnan also went to Yipinzhai, and sent Aning back to the town by the way.

"En." Qi Wanfeng responded, seeing the carriage leave, he went inside.

Laba has passed, and the winter of this year is coming to an end. When spring comes, the ice and snow will melt and everything will recover, and it will be a new beginning of the year. People are looking forward to the arrival of spring in their hearts.

There are many disaster-stricken places in the north, and the rice grains sent by the imperial court for disaster relief, and the people who lost their houses because of Daxueer finally had a bite to eat, and they did not die in this starvation and cold, they were lucky to survive down.

It was not until Xiaonian that King Yi's team returned to Fengdu City. I heard that King Yi's team was welcomed by the people all the way back.The Holy Majesty was delighted to hear that his emperor's son had handled the relief work so beautifully.

"Master, I heard that King Yi's team has entered the city." Er Shun came back from the outside and brought back the news that the master had returned to Fengdu. He knew that the master was looking forward to the return of the master every day.

Upon hearing that Feng Lingxiao was back, Fang Ziye was taken aback for a moment, with a smile on his face, and asked, "Really? He's back."

"Er Shun, change clothes for me, I want to go out."

"Here, master." The little slave's eyes fell on the master's swollen stomach, and his face showed embarrassment.Knowing that the master said he was going out, even if he wanted to go out, he couldn't stop him as a slave.

Seeing that the master hasn't laughed for a long time, today he was so happy when he heard that the master came back, Er Shun didn't want to make the master unhappy, so he followed the master's wishes, helped the master in, and went to change the clothes for the master. Outfits for going out.

With his current figure, he had no choice but to return to his elder brother's attire, and changed into a Confucian white gown.It just so happened that it was also cold this day, so I put on a fox fur outside and put on a hat to cover my face, so outsiders would not be able to recognize him.

Until he went out, his little slave reminded him in his ear, "Master, you have to be careful, don't let anyone touch you."

"I see, Er Shun, you have said it many times." Fang Ziye was very helpless.

Er Shun carefully helped his master into the carriage, he followed behind, and Ah Wu drove the carriage outside.
