Otherworldly Days

Chapter 402 The cold winter is coming

The sky was heavy, covering the wilderness, and the wind from the north was blowing, and the dust was blown up by the strong wind.Plants wither, everything dies, autumn goes and winter comes, and the seasons change. This is an eternal law.

The cold winter of this year has come.

"I'm afraid it will snow today." The old man looked at the sky and said.

Before winter came, the children in the academy took their winter vacation early and went home, and they will return to school in the spring of next year.The homeless children stayed in the academy. These children stayed in the academy by working for the academy in exchange for the tuition and meals they stayed here to study.

Zheng Xiucai's family of three also stayed at the academy, and he is now serving as the vice president of the academy.It's not like Cao Xiangnan is burying his talent. They have a three-year agreement, and he can still go to the exam to obtain fame.

This year's visit to Caojia Village allowed him to see many things that he could not see before, the world, the people at dawn, and the way of being an official.If he becomes an official, can he be a good official?Zheng Xiucai asked himself.

In the past few days, the workshops have also been closed one after another. When it snows, the roads are difficult to navigate, and the goods cannot be shipped out. Therefore, the workshop has also stopped working at this time, and will resume work next year.

The brothers and men who worked were very happy when they received their wages. They wished that they would not stop working in winter.

In Cao's Village, the village chief and Li Zheng brought people to inspect the houses in the village early on, and brought the men in the village to repair the houses for the elderly in the village.The shantang in the village has been built. If someone’s house is uninhabitable, they can move to the shantang to live there and move back after the cold winter.

Over the past year, many families in Cao's Village have built a few tile-roofed houses, and everyone's life is much better.

Li Zheng, the village head of the neighboring village, followed the example of Cao's Village and resettled his villagers early.Last year, many people begged to go to Caojia Village and send their villagers to others. This year, few people sent their villagers to Caojia Village.

Seeing that the sky is about to change these days, the cold winter is coming.

The first snow came quietly at night, and snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell one by one, covering the whole world with a layer of white.

It was snowing outside, and a bonfire was lit in the ruined temple. A group of men spent the night in the ruined temple, roasting the fire, and three or five men leaned together to keep warm.The bearded man held the thin man in his arms, and when he saw the man woke up, he whispered, "Sleep, it's snowing outside, I'll hold you."

"En." The man responded in a low voice, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep after a while.

Wang Dahu looked up and looked outside, pulled the fur coat to cover the two of them, and the person in his arms also closed his eyes.Even when he was sleeping, he was still three-point vigilant, he would not fall into a deep sleep, the wind outside was howling, he hugged the person in his arms tightly, listening to his breathing, he felt very at ease.

This group of people was Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu, and they rushed back to Cao's village.

When I woke up the next day, I felt the temperature drop suddenly. When I opened the window, I saw that the outside was white and snowing. No wonder it was so cold.Cao Xiangnan opened the fireplace and put a few logs into it, and turned the fire up a bit. When he woke up, the house was still quiet, and the evening breeze and the children hadn't woken up.

He went to the two small rooms, and saw that fat boy Lele woke up, and glanced at him with his small eyes, and he laughed with a "puchi one by one", and cursed, "Stinky boy!" Cao Xiangnan took the stinky boy out of the bed without complaint, and hooked the urinal from under the bed.

Taking out the child's little bird, I felt the child in my arms shiver, and heard the sound of splashing water.

Hearing the wind outside the house, Cao Xiangnan felt that it was cold outside, so he pushed the child back into the bed, "Go to bed first, boy, I'll get you something to eat, and when Bao'er wakes up, call daddy. Do you know?" He was afraid that Little Bao'er would wet the bed, and there was no quilt for him to change in this winter.

"Yeah." Cao Ruile looked at Little Bao'er who was still sleeping with this indescribable expression, obviously remembering something unpleasant.

The little fox in the bed came out in a daze, without opening a pair of fox eyes, stood by the bed and used a difficult movement, the little bird urinated at the urinal, and then went back to the bed inside.

"..." Cao Xiangnan, who witnessed a fox peeing, was the first bird to see a fox, and he had learned a lot.

Isn't his fox really a goblin from the mountains?Zhawoza came to his house as soon as he came, and he didn't plan to leave after so long.Is this vixen male or female?What are you doing with a child?Cao Xiangnan's head was full of stories about mortals and vixens, and he left the child's room with a big head.

This vixen has spotted his youngest son, and he might not be able to drive him away.

"It's snowing outside, what are you doing up so early?" Seeing that the child Xiangzi also got up, Cao Xiangnan patted the child's head and found that the child had grown up a lot in one year.At that time, the two brothers of this child had just come to his house, and they were still a small and thin one, but now they have grown so tall.

Xiangzai looked up at his uncle and didn't speak. There's no need to ask. Of course I got up to help you with the work.He turned his head to look in the direction of the door again, and asked, "Is it snowing?"

"Yes." Cao Xiangnan nodded and led the child outside.

The Liu family who lived in the back room got up early. Seeing that it was snowing outside, Liu Guizhong took the two boys to clean up the backyard.Fortunately, they are afraid that it will suddenly snow these days and nights. They have already set up a shed for the livestock enclosure, and the snow at night will not freeze the livestock at home.

When Cao Xiangnan went out, he saw the Liu family father and son packing up their things in the back.

When Liu Guizhong saw the master coming, he rubbed his hands and walked over, "Master, why did you come out? It's windy outside, you should go inside." "I'll come out and take a look." Cao Xiangnan said.

He remembered that the Liu family didn't come at this time last year, and he took Xiangzi to do all the work. This year, there are more Liu family members in the family, which also helped him a lot and saved him a lot of trouble.

Seeing that there was really no need for him to help outside, Cao Xiangnan went back inside after a few instructions.

The snow outside has never stopped, there is no sun, the house is dark, and the burning fireplace reflects the light, and there is no need to light oil lamps in the house.The children in the family woke up one after another, seeing that it was snowing outside, they were still jubilant, and Qi Wanfeng couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the children making a fuss.

But it was still snowing this time, so he didn't allow the little ones to run outside.

"Hey, I'm not going out today, it's snowing outside." Qi Wanfeng coaxed little Bao'er, the child who was used to going outside usually wanted to go out for a walk.It's a pity that the child doesn't know what snow is, and he babbles and points to the outside, and when he is anxious, he pops out a "eat... come out one by one" what?Qi Wanfeng's eyes widened, looking at Little Bao'er who couldn't speak clearly, and shouted, "Xiang Nan, come quickly."

"What are you doing?" Hearing someone calling him, Cao Xiangnan walked over.

Seeing Qi Wanfeng staring at little Bao'er, he thought something was wrong with little Bao'er, so he saw little Bao'er climbing over to be hugged by him, Cao Xiangnan took the child over, and saw the child pointing outside anxiously and said , "Eat... come out..."

"Ah, are you going out?" Cao Xiangnan finally understood what the child was talking about after listening to a few words.He couldn't laugh or cry, he was so anxious that he could even speak, "I won't go out today, it's snowing outside, I won't go out until the snow stops," he said.

The child looked at him half-understood, holding his mouth shut, and said, "Eat...go..."

"Father." An An ran over, pampered his father, asked him to sit down and watch Xiao Baoer, told Xiao Baoer that he was an elder brother, told Xiao Baoer to call him elder brother, and told Xiao Baoer, "Brother, An'an." "Father, little Bao'er still doesn't know how to call him brother." Cao Xiangnan was in a dilemma, and couldn't bear to hit his little An'an. This request is a bit difficult for little Bao'er at present.

"Let's not be in a hurry. If you teach my younger brother slowly, my younger brother will call you elder brother." Cao Xiangnan smiled, and stretched out his hand to pinch An An's little cheek, thinking that he liked the children at home very much.

He himself didn't expect to travel in this different world, having a wife and a child, and being the father of the child, he quite enjoyed this status.

An An stretched out his hand to hug his younger brother, Cao Xiangnan humbly put the little Bao'er in the child's arms, and he gave him a hand, let the child hug him and put the little Bao'er down.With An An doing this, Xiao Baoer also forgot to go out to play, stared at An An with round eyes, and reached out to play with An An.

Over there, Lele glanced at Little Bao'er, but sat there without moving.

"This Bao'er will even talk when she gets up in a hurry." Qi Wanfeng received a big surprise.Usually little Bao'er can't say anything other than "Dada", but I didn't expect to say anything else today when I was in a hurry.

Cao Xiangnan just laughed, watching Xiao Bao'er crawling fast on things, and said, "This kid is smart." Although he is not as defiant as their Jia Lele, he is definitely not stupid, and he is better than most children. All smartly tight.

Breakfast was served in the living room, and the dining room was not as warm as this one.

He made steamed stuffed buns filled with soup early in the morning, cooked rice porridge, and ate steamed buns and rice porridge for breakfast. The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, and he was not afraid that the child would be cold in the house.It was still snowing outside, so he ordered Wanfeng to watch the little ones at home, Cao Xiangnan held an umbrella and went to Cao Gang.

Seeing that Fu Lang had gone out, Qi Wanfeng hoped that Fu Lang would come back soon.

They went into the village together and knew that it was snowing outside, and Sun Yanmiao and Cao Gui were leading people around the village to see if anyone was okay.After walking around, there was nothing wrong, so they went home separately.

This snow fell for several days without stopping.
