Otherworldly Days

Chapter 401 Full Moon Wine

"Father, Gao Jin, why are you here?" His father and his fifth younger brother came to his house early in the morning. Cao Xiangnan invited them to sit inside, poured water for them, and asked, "But what's the matter?" ?”

"It's like this, this is not your fifth younger brother's kid who is full moon tomorrow, and the family plans to set up a few tables for dinner. Father came over to call you, and you should come over to have a meal together tomorrow." Father Cao said.

"Yeah, when the time comes, I would like to ask fourth brother to do me a favor and take my fourth brother and some nephews with me." Cao Gaojin had a flattering smile on his face, and when he knew that his father was coming to his fourth brother, he followed him. up.

It is said that his child set up a few tables for the full moon, but he, the father, has nothing in his hand.He came to his fourth brother, he was planning to ask his fourth brother to borrow money, but he took it back when the words came to his lips, his father is here, if you want to ask, let his father ask, who borrowed the money No one can find his head.

It was Cao Xiangnan who remembered the last time his father came to his place to announce the good news. He didn't expect the full moon to come so soon.But since his father has come to invite him, he also wants to take some time to go, so he said hello and said, "I'll go tomorrow when I'm free."

As for Wanfeng and the children, he wasn't going to take them there, he was going to take them there.

He has hardly been back to the compound now, so naturally he doesn't know what happened there.His father mentioned that his second elder brother's family had also been separated, and he also mentioned that after his fifth younger brother lived with him, he also left his little field to his fifth younger brother. Naturally, Cao Xiangnan had no objection to this.

"Father, it's up to you to decide these matters, and I have no opinion." Cao Xiangnan didn't pay attention to those acres of land. He doesn't lack those acres of land now. His father can give them to whomever he likes. Not jealous either.

After he moved out, he naturally wouldn't take care of the affairs in the compound. What Cao Xiangnan didn't expect was that his second brother proposed the separation of the family. He saw that Wang Yan had changed a lot. He has supported a family, which he admires.

As for his fifth brother, now he has a wife and son, and he wants his father to be like a son and raise a grandson, which is no different from Cao's second son back then.But one of them was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer. Cao Lao Wu was the lifeline of his father and mother, and he didn't have to meddle in these nosy matters.

Seeing his father's hesitant appearance, Cao Xiangnan also understood why they made this trip, he took out two taels of silver from his bosom, put it in his father's hand, and said, "Ah Dad, you can use this money to buy vegetables tomorrow."

It's not that he can't take it out, it's that there's no need to support such a family, and he doesn't owe you anything, it's kindness to give a little, and he wouldn't be happy to ask him to give alms every day.

Back then, his father and mother cut off their relationship with him because of the two taels of silver, saying that the money was not important, but it really was.If Cao Xiangnan hadn't been rich today, his parents and brothers wouldn't have come to ask him for money again and again.It's not entirely true that he cared about the poor family relationship at the beginning. After all, the money was given, and he didn't have the heart to waste time and mood with them here.

"Silang, daddy really doesn't have much money in his hand. Let daddy come to you to borrow this money, and I'll pay you back later." When he came to take it again, Father Cao felt his face was dull, and he felt hot when he held it in his hand.

The second child's family went out and divided the fields, and he had no way to give the money. Knowing that the second child's family still had a little money in their hands, it was enough for them.He didn't have any money in hand, and he didn't want to talk about setting up any wine at first. Wulang and his daughter-in-law were arguing that they must set up a few tables for dinner.

"It doesn't matter if you don't pay it back, Daddy, you can take it back and use it first." Cao Xiangnan waved his hand, it's not bad for him to pay it back, but every time his daddy and the others come, his heart is very annoying.

Fortunately, after getting the money, his father and his fifth younger brother did not stay with him anymore and left.He sent people to the door, but didn't send them out. When he saw them go, he went back inside.

Qi Wanfeng, who happened to go to Sun Bailian's place, saw the backs of his father and fifth uncle leaving, and knew that they had come to his house.When he went home, he saw Fu Lang sitting there alone. Seeing Fu Lang's expression, he knew that Fu Lang was not in a good mood.

"I'm back so soon, why don't you play with Bailian for a while?" Cao Xiangnan reached out to pick up Lele when he saw someone came back, put him on the seat beside him and let the child sit by himself, and then went to pick up Xiaobao. Take it over.

Little Bao'er is not honest, he is bolder now, he can walk a few steps with the support of things, and he is trying a new way of walking, climbing here and there all day long with the help of tables and chairs.

I packed up all the sharp and angular things in the room, just because I was afraid that if I bumped into this little guy, if I bumped into this pretty little face, it would be over.

"Bai Lian is not feeling well. The two younger ones went to make trouble for him to rest, so I brought them back. Fulang, what's the matter with you, what's the matter with Dad and Uncle Wu?" Qi Wanfeng sat down , asked.

Cao Xiangnan talked about his father and fifth brother coming over, knowing that Wanfeng would not want to go there, and he didn't want Wanfeng to deal with those bad people and things, "I will go tomorrow, you Just stay at home and watch the two little ones." He said.

"En." Qi Wanfeng naturally wished for it, and if Fu Lang asked him to go there, he would not refuse to go, but Fu Lang has already said that he should not go, which is the best.

Knowing that his father and fifth uncle came to borrow money, they would never repay it if they said it was a loan.He also won't let Fu Lang say that in the future when Father comes to borrow money, don't lend it to them. He has never cared about these things, knowing that Fu Lang has his own ideas in doing things.

"Let's see in a few years, let's move to the town." Cao Xiangnan said, he really didn't want to bother with his father and mother.

It is better to live in the town or to live in the town, and to live in the village or to live in the village. Each has its own advantages. It’s just that people don’t want to move when they are used to a certain place, and it’s not impossible to move. .

"Okay, Fulang, you can go if you want, I will listen to Fulang." Qi Wanfeng replied.

On the second day, there was a banquet in the Cao family courtyard. Cao Laowu didn't even get married. He brought a brother back and now he even has a child. The meaning of the above is to tell the people in the village that Cao Laowu is married and has a family.

In the village, the elder brother of a family who has a body before getting married would be ashamed and shameful. In the past, such elder brothers would be arrested and soaked in pig cages.But today's Caojia Village is not what it used to be. The village head has changed. The clan elders have no power and can't manage the affairs of the village. Every household in the village is rushing to work and save money. Who has the time to take care of it? Whose business is yours.

They were invited to have a drink in the Cao family compound, and those who were invited also went there. No matter what the people in the village said, they wanted to give Cao Silang a face.

"Congratulations, Mr. Cao." The guest who came to the door carried a basket in his hand, which was filled with meat.Father Cao accepted the gift and said, "Why are you so polite, please come inside, please come inside."

Nowadays, when people from Cao’s village go to someone’s house for a drink, those who bring out their hands get at least a piece of meat, and those who are more generous even wrap a few big money in red paper.Chen Zhu, who greeted the guests at the door, received the money wrapped in red paper, so he put it in his own pocket, and don't even think about him turning around to take it out, it is naturally his if it goes into his pocket.

Over there, Zhao Xue wrapped the child in swaddling clothes and went out to meet people. When she saw his mother's small movements, she gritted her teeth angrily, with a smile on her face, followed her husband, and showed the child to the people who came.Now he is justifiably following his husband's side, and thanks to the fact that he was born a boy, his husband finally let go and took care of today's happy event.

Otherwise, he followed the man to his house, even gave birth to the child, and he was still unknown, and he would not be able to lift his head when he went out in the future.

Listening to everyone complimenting the child one sentence at a time, Zhao Xue was also happy when she heard it.It was very windy outside, he took the child and walked around outside, said something to Fu Lang in a low voice, and after getting permission, he carried the child back to the house.

Today, Chen Li, the eldest brother, also hired a worker to come back home to help. Even Wang Yan was at home, and the two of them were working hard in the kitchen.Everything in the past is over, and you will no longer plot against me and I will plot against you for a little thing, this is separated, your money is in your pocket and mine is in my pocket, you live your life and I live No one can calculate the life of my family.

After working with her husband this year, she also saved a few taels of silver in her hands. Chen Li plans to build a house next year and move out to live outside, so she doesn't have to look at his mother's face here anymore. .When the house is built, his boy can also get engaged, find a good brother to marry back, and then the two younger ones will marry one after the other, and he will definitely marry his brother. Find a good family.

Two people working together can still chat for a while, and there are also a few aunts in the clan who come to help, and the work will be faster if there are more people.

The fried dishes were brought out, and the tables outside were full of people.

Big bowls of meat are brought out, there are vegetarian and meat dishes, big white radish stewed with pig's trotters are served out, and anyone in the village who serves wine will not lose face if they have meat dishes.The trotters were delivered by Cao Xiangnan in the morning, otherwise there would be only one meat dish on the table, and the rest would be either radishes or pickles.

When the wine drinkers had almost left, Cao Xiangnan's people came over.

"Si'er is here, come to Dad's place for dinner." Dad Cao was drinking with some old friends, when he saw Si'er coming, he hurriedly got up from his seat and beckoned him to come over.

"Fourth uncle, you're here, sit down and eat." Chen Li saw his fourth uncle coming, greeted him, led him inside, and brought him a pair of bowls and chopsticks.Cao Xiangnan went to his father's place, saw some uncles shouted, and sat down beside his father.

"Brother, this is a gift prepared by Wan Feng for the child. Can you help me take it to the fifth brother?" He took out a small box from his arms. That is to say, the gift was actually prepared by Cao Xiangnan. In the name of Evening Breeze.

Even if Wanfeng didn't come, he had to give him a good name.He found an excuse to say that the child at home was not feeling well, and Wanfeng was at home taking care of the little one and couldn't come over. Others could smile and say they understood.

"Hey, I'll send it to Axue." Chen Li also knew in her heart that Wan Feng still had resentment towards them when what happened back then, otherwise this person would never have stepped into this house again. .

Cao Xiangnan sat down and had a drink, then got up and said goodbye.

After he left, the old men in the back all praised his Shiro for his ability to Father Cao, but they didn't think so in their hearts.It's not like they didn't know what happened in the Cao's compound back then. They didn't see Cao Silang come back and left without even sitting on the bench. It can be seen that they still blame him for his cruel father and mother.

Drinking their wine, these people also picked up good things to say, no matter what, this old man Cao is also Cao Silang's father.Father Cao drank with a drunken face, very happy.
