Otherworldly Days

Chapter 392 The Mid-Autumn Festival

The kitchen is busy in full swing, the stove is burning on a small fire, the soup in the pot is simmering, the pot is full of ingredients, the mutton has been processed and the soup is milky white, exuding a thick aroma.

There are a lot of people eating tonight, so I slaughtered a little fat sheep, the sheep bones were stewed in the soup base, the haggis and lamb slices were washed in the pot for a while, and some meat was marinated and skewered for barbecue tonight.The fish and shrimps bought back taste good when cooked. People who eat more hot pot and barbecue are the best choices. They are delicious and convenient.

Therefore, we have lamb hot pot for dinner, and the indispensable program at night is barbecue, and enjoy the moon and eat pancakes by the way.But at that time, everyone's stomachs are full, and it is estimated that no one will eat moon cakes and fruits.

Everyone knew that Cao Xiangnan's place was lively, so they invited a few old people from the village to come over early, and acquaintances came over to have a look at Cao Xiangnan's place when they were free. Those who were separated felt that their own family was not lively enough for the festival. They also came directly to Cao Xiangnan's place with food to join them. Anyway, there are many people and it's lively.

If it is said that the food tastes the best in the whole Caojia Village, it must be Caojia Silang's. It is the same thing. Cao Xiangnan's food here is better than other places.

The children in the yard were about to knock down the roof, and the whole yard was filled with the noise of children screaming. It has been a long time since there were so many children in the house, which really makes people miss it a bit.Those who can't walk yet, such as little Bao'er who is still in the crawling stage, will join in the fun when they see older ones playing.

Why are you jogging to join in the fun? !

But this kid doesn't care, the adults want to hold him and play behind him.At the back, Qi Wanfeng took the child back into the house and put him to sleep. He was relieved to sleep for a long time, and he was able to help Fulang's hand and greet the guests who came to the house.

Sun Ji, who had returned to Cao's Village, sat at home with Grandpa, Mo and his father for a while, and then came over to Cao Xiangnan.Before the people arrived, they heard the bustling sounds in the yard, and knew that there must be a lot of people there, so a smile appeared on their faces, "Aji is back, when did you come back?"

"I just came back today."

All the way in, Sun Ji greeted the acquaintances, asked Xiang Nan where the others were and looked for them.

At this moment, there is no need to think that Cao Xiangnan's people are all in the kitchen, directing the helpers to finish the meat, he himself is much more relaxed.Seeing Sun Ji approaching, he smiled and walked out.

"You're finally back, boy. I was afraid that if you didn't come back, your father would ask me for someone." Cao Xiangnan reached out and hammered Sun Ji's shoulder. This brat clearly told him to come back earlier. He didn't come back until today, Sun Yanshan looked at his hesitant eyes, and probably felt in his heart that it was him, the boss, who prevented his son from coming back in Nanyang.

Sun Jiyang smiled and said, "There are many things over there, I'm not busy until now and I'm rushing back."

It is strange for Cao Xiangnan to believe in Sun Ji's nonsense. He thinks that this kid does not want to come back to get married. He has a premarital phobia before marriage, and he is afraid that this kid has this phobia of marriage. "Yes, I have prepared some things for you. I'll have someone deliver them to your home later." He said, "So polite?" Sun Ji looked at Cao Xiangnan with disapproval.

"My brother, what are you being polite to me? I didn't see that you didn't have time to arrange these, so I prepared them for you."

He thinks that Sun Ji is not free, but he is not interested in his own marriage at all, and Cao Xiangnan doesn't point him out.

The boss of Sun Ji still had to prepare the ceremony for Sun Ji's wedding himself. After all, Sun Ji was his number one helper.Nanyang City has opened three new stores and two stores this year, all of which are under the management of Sun Ji, so it is true that Sun Ji is really busy in Nanyang City, and even coming back is to squeeze out time of.

Brother helped you earn this money, and Cao Xiangnan is not a stingy person, he will share what is due to him, and he will give what is due to him, so he gave Sun Ji a lot of gifts when he got married, and they were all real things.

The two talked a few words outside, Sun Ji smelled the fragrance inside, and Xiang Nan asked him to go into the kitchen to have a look, and he followed him in.

Gan Weiqi who was inside had heard voices outside and knew that it was Sun Jilai.Looking up, he saw Sun Ji who came in with Cao Xiangnan, and Sun Ji who happened to look in saw the person who was looking at him.

When the two people's eyes met, Sun Ji first moved his eyes away, and it was a bit unnatural to even greet others.When facing Gan Weiqi, he still tried his best to make his smile more natural. Unexpectedly, this person just gave a faint "hmm" and found an excuse to go out. He was also very upset, but what could he say? Woolen cloth?

This is his own choice, if he can't let his family down, he can only let down this man's affection.

Seeing that the work in the kitchen is almost busy, the meat and vegetables over there have been sorted and cleaned. Wait for the soup in the pot to simmer for a while, the stronger the taste, the better the taste.After a while, it will be almost ready to eat, Cao Xiangnan called everyone to go out and have a cup of tea first, and go out to rest for a while after working for so long.

"Go for a walk, go out and have a cup of tea."

There was a small episode in the middle, Cao Lao Wuhe came with his wife, and Zhao Xue, a brother with a big belly that was about to give birth, greeted others warmly as if he was familiar with them. Few knew him.

Excessive enthusiasm will only make people feel disgusted.

A brother with a big belly followed the man into the house, and he didn't even get married. If an ordinary brother was ashamed of the enemy and didn't even dare to leave the house and dared to stay in the house, then Zhao Xue would just show off outside with a big belly Everyone would say his fourth uncle, just like the scenery. Now that Wang Yan has disappeared, another Zhao Xue came, and there are really "talented people" in their Cao family compound.

Didn't Zhao Xue know that his fourth uncle was forced out by the people in the Cao family compound?Even the paperwork was established, and the fingerprints were pressed, and it was written that the two families had nothing to do with each other after the separation. Zhao Xue still wanted to come out to show off his fourth uncle.No matter how much money Cao Silang has made now, it has nothing to do with the Cao family compound. Even if Cao Silang doesn't give any money to the compound, no one can force him to give it to the compound.

But Cao Xiangnan would send some meat to the compound every festival, and this Mid-Autumn Festival was no exception. He asked the Liu family boy to send meat and food there early on, and he didn't have any people from the compound. Invited to come to his house for dinner, unexpectedly he, the fifth younger brother, also came.

Seeing his fifth brother coming over, Cao Xiangnan raised his head and greeted him, then continued talking to Cao Gang and the others.

The intention of the two of them was to stay here for dinner, but Cao Laowu and his wife were not seen by many people, and few people paid attention to them when they came in. They probably felt embarrassed after sitting for a while. He walked away in disgrace.

Seeing the two people who had left, Sun Bailian snorted, approached Qi Wanfeng and said something unknown, provoking Qi Wanfeng to give him a look.A few buddies who were close and close to each other on weekdays sat together, talking about their words and chatting about their affairs, and the guys over there didn't come here to join in the fun.

The sun moved to the west, and every family in the small village started preparing dinner early today, and the children playing outside had bright smiles on their faces.They have never had such a good life now. They hope that they can live so well all the time, have food and books, and when they grow up, they can go to work to earn some money for the family, so that the whole family can Eat meat and live a good life.

On this day, every family has meat on the dining table, which is richer than the previous New Year's meals, and the happiest thing is the children.Looking at the meat on the table, I salivated, and waited for the whole family to sit down before picking up chopsticks to eat.

Cao Xiangnan also started to eat here. There were tables set up in the yard and several tables were seated. Fortunately, there was only a lot of food prepared.Everyone sat down and drank the fragrant mutton soup, dipped in special spices and ate the mutton, it was delicious!

The brushed meatballs can be full. If you feel bored, you can brush some green vegetables and shiitake mushrooms to eat. It tastes delicious.

This year's mushrooms were planted early, but he didn't come back from other places, and everything went well with Cao Gang.The mushrooms in the house are growing well. The first batch of mushrooms was harvested just before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they were sold at a good price. There is no shortage of food at home.

"Brother Cao Gang, I propose a toast to you." Cao Xiangnan held the wine, this time he had to offer a toast to Cao Gang, even if Cao Gang was here, he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the village.

Cao Gang stood up without saying anything. The two brothers clinked glasses, drank a glass, and drank the wine in the glass to the end.

"Come on, let's have a drink together. I hope that every year in the future we will sit and drink together like this."

"drink!"

"-Certainly!"

"Will do!"

What the men at this table love most is eating meat and drinking. Sitting together, you toast me a glass, and I’ll drink a bowl with you. If you drink well, your complexion will be as usual, but if you drink poorly after two drinks, your complexion will flush. Shake your hand and say no. .

Cao Xiangnan has always been a bad drinker, and he has his own sense of proportion, knowing that he can't drink too much, so he doesn't dare to drink too much.The people who sit together are all old acquaintances. They know each other's drinking capacity and will not force others to drink.

The buddies like these delicious mushroom dishes the most. The buddies who haven’t seen each other for a long time sit together and have endless things to say.The children sat at a table, lively and lively, and the old people also drank a sip of wine and ate their meat, feeling happy in their hearts.

As the sun went down, the moon slowly climbed up from the top of the mountain on the other side, and a full moon hung in the sky.

A charcoal fire was burned in the yard, a shelf was set up and the next round of barbecue continued...
