Otherworldly Days

Chapter 411 Cultivation

Seeing the white smoke rising from the chimney, the people outside the house knew that the owner and the others were up, so Liu Ama brought his little brother over, and saw the owner was clearing the table, rushing over to do the work, He muttered in his mouth, "Master, we can do it here. Why do you need the master to do these jobs? What the master wants to do is just call us."

He cleared the table neatly with his hands, and took the dishes and chopsticks to wash.

"Wan Feng and I are used to doing what we can." Cao Xiangnan smiled and watched Liu Ah come and take over all the work, just in time to hear the voice of the child in the room, he wiped his hands and walked in, Been a daddy.

When Qi Wanfeng got up, he came out and saw that the children at home had woken up and were playing in the living room. "Mum." Seeing that Eminem woke up, An An ran over and crawled into Eminem's arms.

Qi Wanfeng responded and kissed his little brother.

Seeing Xiangzi staring at him, Qi Wanfeng didn't know why, so he asked, "What's wrong with Xiangzi?"

Why are you looking at him like that?

"Ah, Eminem!" shouted courageously, Xiangzi turned and ran away.

"Huh?" Qi Wanfeng was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the child called him E-Mu, but the child had already run away, leaving only a back for him.Several children were clinging to his heels, and he was holding a small one in his hand, so he couldn't chase after him and ask, knowing that the child was shy.

"Are you awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer." Cao Xiangnan, who was walking over, happened to see this scene. Xiangzi even ran to his own room, so he bent down and kissed Wanfeng, who was by his side sit down.He drank but was not drunk last night, so he remembered clearly what happened last night.

Hearing Fu Lang's words, his waist was still hurting, Qi Wanfeng couldn't help but reached out and pinched Fu Lang's waist and eyes.Cao Xiangnan yelled "Forgive me", which was extremely exaggerated, causing his wife to stare at him again, so he smiled and coaxed him.

He told Wanfeng about what happened this morning, that's why Xiangzi coyly called his mother just now.

"Oh, so that's the case." Qi Wanfeng nodded with a smile, no wonder the kid who kept calling him "Mo" changed his name to him, isn't that good?

Little Baoer, who was in Memo's arms, saw Daddy Memo, glanced left and right, probably thought about it, digested what he saw, and then leaned towards Momo's cheek in a dignified way kiss.

Qi Wanfeng, who was kissed by little Bao'er's wet and soft mouth, was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed Xiao Bao'er twice. Oh, his little Bao'er is so cute, it makes people want to hurt to the bone .

Cao Xiangnan glared, and stretched out his hand to pick up the son of Lord Yi's family. He felt that they needed to communicate on some issues.This is his daughter-in-law, his daughter-in-law!Is my daughter-in-law so frivolous as a brat like you?

Little Baoer, who thought his father was playing with him, giggled.

"Stupid Bao'er!" Cao Ruixing, he was the only kid present who understood what was going on, seeing his father's jealousy, and seeing that stupid little Baoer still laughing, he hated iron for being weak, so he proceeded I took a bite out of the shortbread inside.

good to eat!

The little white fox imitated it, gnawed on the shortbread with two paws, raised his eyes for a look, and was not interested again.

"Stinky boy!" Cao Xiangnan threw the child up into the air, and then came down to catch it.

"Hehe..." Only the child's laughter was heard, Xiao Bao'er liked to play toss and toss with his father the most.An An, who was on the side, saw his father and brother playing, and he also shouted to play, so Cao Xiangnan had to change people, and took turns tossing the children who wanted to play.

Qi Wanfeng smiled and narrowed his eyes, reached out and pinched his fat boy's face, took two sips of water for the child, wiped the corners of the child's mouth, and said that he should not eat too much.Cao Ruile glanced at his mother, nodded, Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched the child's head, and hugged the child.

Lele sat in his mother's arms, smelling the smell of his mother's body, which was the smell he liked, he rubbed against his mother's arms, satisfied, he liked the current life.

Once the cold moon passes, it will be the winter moon, and after the twelfth lunar month, it will be the year again, and this year is getting closer and closer.

If there is nothing to do outside on a snowy day, they will not go out and stay at home.There is not nothing to do at home, all the accounts below have been handed in, and the in and out of each account is recorded in detail, and Cao Xiangnan needs to check these accounts.

Excluding all the shops and workshops under his command, and the accounts of the academy construction, and other miscellaneous figures, the sum is really quite a lot.

In the beginning, he did the accounting by himself, and he was not as busy as he is now. Later, there were many things, and the accounts of various places were divided among the managers, so the accounts of the various places later belonged to the various places. When it's done, hand it over to him, and he'll do random checks when he's free.Fortunately, all the accounts are remembered in a uniform way prescribed by him. Although there are many accounts, it is still clear, but it seems that it takes some effort.

There are a lot of accounts that have come down this year, and the accounts of income and outgoings are not small. After counting by his own hands, he also has accounts here, and he knows all of these in his heart.

Taking advantage of the free time at this time, Cao Xiangnan wanted to check all the accounts for a year to see if there were any omissions.A lot of problems can be seen from an account. This account still needs to be checked clearly. After counting the problems of this year, he will also make a plan for next year.

According to this momentum, if there are no accidents, theoretically it will get better every year, and he can look forward to it.

But in this era, who can say for sure whether it is unexpected or not?

Cao Xiangnan began to bring two children, An An and Xiangzi, by his side, and taught the two children to make accounts and check accounts, "Here is the amount of the account, and here is the amount of the account. Come, let's read this book first... "

An An said that he likes to study and will be the number one scholar in the future, so he will study and be the number one scholar. It is good to have ideals and ambitions.But it doesn't prevent him from learning a little more about other things. It's good to learn a little more in the end.From the very beginning, Xiangzai said that he was helping him make money, taking care of and raising his younger brothers. This child is also very sensible, and he started to help him work by following him early every day.

He remembered that Xiangzi would be ten years old after the new year. For people in this era, ten years old means many things are different. When he is fifteen or sixteen years old, he can say that he is married and has a child to be his father. up.Even though he doesn't agree that the children in the family get married when they are too young, he has also discussed this issue with Wan Feng, so the two have reached a consensus on this issue. As for the kid, it needs to be more than twenty.

At least in his marriage law at that time, the legal marriage age for men was 22, and for women was [-].But in this era when brothers start talking about marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen, people will call them old brothers before they get married, but he and Wanfeng don't think it's done, and their own children are still useful. Letting others make irresponsible remarks, it is not a problem for their brother to be called an old brother.

Isn't the elder brother of Cao A's family who butchered the pig not married yet?I don't know if I said kiss this year.

If their family An'an really wants to take the imperial examination and become an official in the future, Cao Xiangnan will not stop him, but he knows that Feng Chao's elder brother cannot get married when he is an official, but this can also be an official for a few years?At that time, if there is someone you like and want to get married, you can stop being an official and get married, right?Although he doesn't like some laws and regulations that discriminate against brothers in this era, there are some things that he can't do anything about.

This question is getting too far. Having said that, Xiangzi has a very stable temper at a young age, which probably has something to do with his childhood growth.If this child can be trained to help manage the business in the future, it would actually be good, so Cao Xiangnan began to consciously focus on training Xiangzi, and An An followed him to make soy sauce.

"Xiangzai, An'an, do you understand?" I told the two children once, and seeing that the two children nodded in agreement, Cao Xiangnan continued, "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask Dad, let's start now Look, let me know if there's a problem."

There will be some small problems. Whether the person who makes the account is unskilled or careless has reasons. Some small places are wrong, and it is not a big problem.But if there are mistakes in the accounts, they will be punished later.

Here, he rewards those who do well and punishes those who do not do well, and he never treats his subordinates badly.

At present, Cao Xiangnan still believes in these people under his command. As for whether he has other thoughts, he does not know, but he should not dare to tamper with the accounts now.The accounts are done according to the method he stipulated, and it is clear at a glance if there is any problem.

"Understood." The two children listened carefully and nodded.

After a year of arithmetic learning, the two children had some small achievements. Teaching them to calculate accounts, the two children could understand more or less, and he didn't need to teach them from the beginning.After the previous teaching, Cao Xiangnan asked the two children to check the accounts first, and handed over the accounts to him. Knowing that Fu Lang was checking the accounts in the house, Qi Wanfeng didn't let the little ones outside go in to disturb Fu Lang.Fu Lang told him that he wanted to train Xiangzi to help him, and he had no objection.An An is a brother who is going to get married in the future. Lele is still young and doesn't understand these things, so he can't help Fu Lang so quickly. If Fu Lang brings Xiangzi first, Xiangzi can help Lele in the future .

As for the other child, Rising is a little brother, and he will still go to someone else's house in the future.It would be good for Xiangzi to help manage the family business, and they didn't want Ruixing, a little brother, to take care of business matters.

There are so many children in the family, but he actually gave birth to only two, one brother and one boy.If it wasn't for Fu Lang's disapproval, Qi Wanfeng would have wanted to conceive again now, and give Fu Lang two more boys, so that the brothers could take care of each other in the future.

The two chatted for a long time at night, so the two reached a consensus on this issue. Cao Xiangnan would tell Wanfeng about whatever he did. Even though he was busy outside, he would tell Wanfeng about family affairs. , ask his opinion before deciding.At home, this person said that there is no problem, and he will make the final decision.

Therefore, Cao Xiangnan asked Wanfeng about Xiangzi, and decided to bring Xiangzi by his side.

Xiangzi was ignorant, and seemed to understand something. He made up his mind that he would not disappoint his father's trust, and he must work hard to do well.

Checking the accounts is also a very boring job. It is not possible to read through the books one by one in a day or two. Even if an adult feels uncomfortable after sitting for a day, it is also difficult for the child Xiangzi to follow him.An An went to play, and Cao Xiangnan didn't force An An to do something he didn't like, and let the child go out to play with him.

From time to time, the sound of turning over the ledger could be heard in the room. Cao Xiangnan turned his head and saw Xiangzi who was looking at the ledger with his head buried in his head.
