Otherworldly Days

Chapter 406 Arrangement

The whole world is covered with snow, and when I go out and look at the distant mountains, there is a vast expanse of whiteness, and the white ground is dazzling.It snowed all night, and the ground was covered with thick snow. The road we walked left a row of deep footprints.

Early in the morning, Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu came from there, braving the knife-like cold wind, they walked into the village.

Cao Xiangnan is going to Li Mei's house to talk to Li Mei about the garment workshop. Li Mei is the chief supervisor and Li Mei is in charge of the garment workshop.It just so happened that they wanted to ask who had surplus food, whether to buy some or borrow some, and then go to the town when the day was better, and bought everything they needed to buy.

In this weather, every household in the village closed their doors, people hid in their houses, and no one in the village walked outside.I found Li Mei's house along the way, a small yard surrounded by fences, a mud house where I lived, and the door was closed. Cao Xiangnan stood outside the door and shouted, "Is anyone at home?"

"Who is calling outside?" The door of the house opened from the inside, Li Mei's husband Cao Shigui stretched out half of his body, glanced at the people outside the yard, and said in surprise, "Oh my boss, why are you here?"

The daughter-in-law at home works in a garment workshop. Cao Shigui has no skills, but Sheng Zaikong has all his strength, so he builds a house with Master Feng. This is a few big money every day, and it will be a lot in a month. Call Cao Silang as his boss.

No one in the village calls Cao Silang anymore, and the Cao Silang of today is not the Cao Silang of the past.

"Boss, you're here. It's windy outside, come in." Cao Shigui walked out with a few strides and opened the door, welcoming people in. There was a smirk on his honest face, and he was nervous for a while. I don't know what to do, but fortunately I still know how to invite people inside.

"Brother Shigui, is Li Mei at home?" Cao Xiangnan asked.

"Yes, yes, it's inside the house." Cao Shigui replied.

Li Mei, who was in the room, heard the voice, opened the curtain and saw the person outside, with a look of surprise, seeing that Fu Lang had led the person in, he hurriedly opened the curtain and invited the owner in.

Cao Xiangnan suddenly had the feeling that the boss went to the employee's home, and the employee was both happy and nervous, which frightened people.He didn't beat around the bush, and directly explained the reason for his visit. Li Mei agreed immediately, and promised, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely take care of this matter for you, and I will talk to everyone about it."

They get paid when they work in the workshop. Everyone is eager to start working, otherwise there will be several months until the beginning of spring next year. Except for the days when it does not snow, they will go to the academy to study with their husband, and the rest of the day will be spent at home. Sleep, and eat when you are full. For these buddies who are used to being busy, they are not used to the days of being idle at home.

Regarding Li Mei's handling of affairs, Cao Xiangnan was also relieved, and after explaining a few things to pay attention to, he left the matter to Li Mei to handle.If you can start work, start work as soon as possible, there are still clothes waiting to be worn.

After talking about the business, he asked Li Mei's family if there was enough food in embarrassment, and if there was any extra food, he could point it out.Li Mei thought that his boss's house was out of food, so she said hastily, "Yes, yes, I have it here as much as my boss wants."

This year, they have money in their hands, and the food they have worked so hard to grow is not sold and kept for their own food, so the food in this family will be left until the beginning of next spring. There is a lot of food!

"You have left food at home, how much can you pay me for the rest? I bought it from you." Cao Xiangnan laughed when he heard that, seeing Li Mei's posture that he wanted to give him all the food in the family.However, he is also kind, and after explaining the matter briefly, he only needs to get out of the surplus.

Li Mei understood, and after discussing with his husband, he gave the extra grain to their boss.As for the money from their boss, they never agreed to it, how could they ask for money from their boss for a little food!

Cao Xiangnan had no choice but to say that he would pay them back the food when the time came. Seeing that they refused to agree, he had no choice but to say that if you don't want me to pay back the food, I won't borrow it now, and the two agreed.

Seeing the two boys from Li Mei's family, Cao Xiangnan beckoned them over. The two boys had stayed at his house for a while, and they were no strangers to him, so they approached with a smile and obediently called "Uncle Xiangnan."

"When the weather is fine, go to Uncle's house to play with An An and the others. Uncle's house has a lot of food." Children are all gluttonous, and the two boys in Li Mei's family are no exception. Cao Xiangnan saw that the two children heard that there was something to eat She was so happy that she wished she could go to his house now, "I can't go right now, I have to wait for the wind outside to subside and the weather to improve."

"Okay." The two boys responded, asking when their father and mother could go to Uncle Xiangnan's house to play with An'an and the others, and if they mentioned going to eat delicious food, they were thinking about going to eat delicious food.

"These two boys." Li Mei laughed when she saw the two boys were in a hurry to go to the owner's house, "I can't go until the weather clears." He said.

When will this day be better?The two boys looked outside, wishing that the wind outside would stop now, so they could go to their uncle's house to play with An'an and the others, but they remembered that uncle had a lot of food there, and it was delicious.

Of course, they also like An An very much. An An is the best-looking buddy they have ever met.However, these people are not as good at reading as An An, but it can't stop them from liking An An.

"Brother Shigui, Li Mei, I won't sit anymore." Cao Xiangnan got up, and he was leaving too.I'm afraid his father doesn't know that these two little carrots dare to covet his little brother, but he would definitely not invite the two boys to his house.

"Hey, don't sit down for a while, my boss. I'll prepare a few dishes. You can leave me here for lunch before you leave." Li Mei hurriedly got up after seeing her boss came to drink a cup of tea and was about to leave. , I want to persuade people to come down and have a light meal before leaving.

"Yes, my boss, you don't want to sit down for a while." Cao Shigui put away the smile on his face and stood up.

"No, no, I still have something to do."

After rejecting the couple's kindness, Cao Xiangnan left Li Mei's place.

In Cao's Village today, every family prepares more food for the winter, so who is afraid of having too much food?If you can't go out at home in heavy snow, all you eat is stored food.If it is not a good relationship, it is difficult to go to someone to borrow food at this time, and they are also well-connected. The few companies who asked about it agreed to give them all the excess food, so the food that can be obtained It can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need, and I will go to the town to buy the rest when the time comes.Those who were willing to take the money gave them money, and those who were not willing to take the money, they wrote it down and paid back the food when the time came.

They transported part of the borrowed grain, and Wang Dahu arranged for people to transport the rest. "Okay, okay, I'll arrange for someone to move it right away." When he heard that there was food, Wang Dahu laughed so hard that his mouth cracked to the point behind his ears, and he could be as silly as he smiled. The availability of food means that the brothers don't need it. Starving, their brothers will definitely not starve to death because of lack of food this winter.

Liu Baishu smiled helplessly when he saw that certain tiger was so stupid.

When Cao Xiangnan went back yesterday, he thought about how to arrange these people all night, and now he has a little understanding in his heart.According to the old rules, start from the basics first. The most basic requirements for the people working under him are to start with reading and literacy. If you know more and know less, whether you are good at learning or not depends on your personal cultivation, anyway. Sir arranged for you.

However, he also knew that these men were not as eager to study as his brothers and children, but he also had a way to make them willing to learn.

Haven't you all been on the battlefield and fought, so I don't know if you are interested in the art of war here, and want to learn?Yes, follow Mr. to read and write first, and he can also arrange for these people to learn a little military knowledge.

Cao Xiangnan himself used to like watching military books and movies. He has read a lot of ancient art of war and modern military. Talk about the art of war.

He had an idea in his mind that the Caojia Village would definitely get better and better in the future. If they could build up their own guard team, they would be able to live comfortably in Caojia Village even if the world was in chaos in the future. Worried that the home I built with great difficulty would be destroyed.

Along the way, Cao Xiangnan roughly shared his thoughts with Cao Gang and the others, so even if there is no work to do now, these people will not be idle.When the workshop starts, these people will be assigned to work.

The academy also arranges winter classes, but compared to the previous year, after a year of study, everyone has a solid foundation, so this winter Mr. will not have many classes, just tutoring some of you, mainly The best is self-study.But it seems that an additional class has to be taught now, and he has to go to Zheng Xiucai to talk about it later.

"The art of war? You kid still hides the art of war? Let me have a look." When Wang Dahu heard the art of war, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he immediately became interested, so he went to search Cao Xiangnan's body to see him. Where is his art of war hidden?

Cao Xiangnan's face was full of embarrassment. He really couldn't borrow this thing for the time being, because he hadn't written it out in his mind.Seeing Cao Xiangnan's appearance, Liu Baishu knew that he had it. Since they had it, they would definitely get it. He gave Wang Dahu a hand, and said with a smile, "Why are you so anxious? Since Xiangnan has it, he will definitely give it to us all." watch."

"Brother Gang, do you think so?" Liu Baishu still didn't forget to pull down their general as a witness.

Cao Gang heard from Cao Xiangnan that there is an art of war, Sun Tzu's art of war and 36 tactics?Why hasn't he heard of it.But according to past experience, what Cao Xiangnan brought out must be good things, so after listening to Liu Baishu's words, he responded, "Yeah."

This means that if you are sure, you will show us, and we will just wait.

"..." Cao Xiangnan, this one is better than a thief, can he still say that he doesn't have one?Can't get it out?Don't you want to see it? !

There was a smile on the corner of Cao Gang's mouth, which showed that he was in a happy mood, and he was also looking forward to what Cao Xiangnan could show them. Put a row of footprints on the snow and go out from Cao's Village.
