Otherworldly Days

Chapter 251

Today is sunny, and young and strong men have to go out to sweep the snow, even my brother is no exception, and he has to work along with him.Except for the elderly who can do whatever they want, they can stay in the house if they want, or go out to sweep the snow. Only a few old ladies who are not in good health stay in the house, and the old men with good legs and feet go out to sweep the snow.

The third uncle was waving a broom, and the young man was not as quick at work as he was. Several old people also formed a team to help clear the accumulated snow.

The children all went out of the house, and the older ones carried the baskets and followed the adults to work, but the younger ones did not stay in the house, but followed the older children to help pull Xue away.

On the day we first arrived, a child developed a fever at night, and Cao Jian and Lizheng Village Chief mentioned it a few times on the way.As Cao Silang said, he wiped the child's body with white wine, and then the fever subsided, and today the child has also recovered, and he left the child in the house without letting him out.

"Well, you did a good job in this matter." Li was listening to Cao Jian's words, and Cao Jian also did some things very well.

I don’t know if the few children who were sent here without parents and mothers knew that they would be left behind if they got sick. It was the child who had a fever and healed up within two days.After coming here, I have a place to live, warm clothes to wear, and enough food to fill my stomach. Everyone is in good spirits.

"Papapa——" "Open the door! People in the room, should we go in and ask you to come out, or come out by yourself!" A group of people walked to the front of a room, and Sun Yanmiao took the initiative to go forward without asking. He reached out and knocked on the door, shouting impolitely.

The brothers who were sleeping in the house covered with quilts were startled awake by the knock on the door, and heard the sound outside. Originally, they wanted to stay on the bed regardless of the people outside, but when they heard the knock on the door, they became anxious and frightened. Look at me, I look at you.

"I, let's get up and open the door."

What is certain is that if they don't get up and get dressed to open the door, the men outside will push the door and come in.

"Wait, wait." Someone yelled.

The people outside were also waiting patiently, while the brothers inside got up, got dressed and went to open the door.

There are not enough houses here, and there are too many people who came later, and it is impossible to live separately as a family. Instead, brothers live in a house, and men live in a house, so some brothers who came later lived in one. Inside the house.

The door opened, and a group of people walked in. Cao Gang looked around the room and didn't speak, but the temperature around him dropped a few degrees.Li Zheng came in to take a look and saw that the brothers had only woken up after sleeping until now, so he began to discipline others, regardless of the redness of the eyes of the brothers, and they were about to cry later.

"Everyone is up and working. Those older than you and those younger than you are all working outside. The four-year-olds are sweeping snow outside with brooms. How dare you hide in your house and sleep? Do you know that? Are you ashamed?..." Even such a good-tempered person like Lizheng couldn't control his temper and lost his temper.

These brothers think that they are weak and should be taken care of by others. In addition, they hide in the house and sleep late in the winter. After sleeping for a whole winter, why did they get up and run outside to sweep the heavy snow?It was warm inside the room, and I had a full stomach, so it couldn't be more comfortable to lie in bed and sleep late.

In this kind of cold weather, you have to go outside to sweep snow. Is it because you are full and have nothing to do?They don't want to get up, let alone go out to sweep the snow.

Early in the morning Cao Jian had already come over to call someone, and he called him twice, but then he got busy and ignored these brothers.These brothers all came from other villages later, this house is where the brothers live, and it is not easy for him to break in, lest he ruin the family's reputation.

He did tell the people in their family, but the people in their family can't do anything about them.

At this moment, Li Zheng and the village chief came over, and Cao Jian told Li Zheng and the village chief about it. Unexpectedly, Li Zheng and the village chief opened the door directly, and a group of people entered the house.

"What is this room like? Clean up the room and go out to work for me!" After scolding for a while, Li Zheng said sharply, "Next time I find you like this, I don't care if you are Brother or man, get the hell out of here, do you understand?"

"Yes, yes..." The brothers who had been scolded lowered their heads and wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with their hands. No one in the room stood up and said a word for them.

When Li was swearing, Cao Gang left the room, not intending to waste energy on his brothers at all.Let him deal with it, and directly drive people out as an example to others, and see who dares to do this in the future!

Li Zheng scolded his brothers and glanced at Cao Jian, meaning that you stay to deal with this place, and he left with the deputy village chief and the others.

"Hurry up, tidy up the house and go out to work." Cao Jian saw a few brothers who were scolded and cried, but he didn't have the slightest sympathy for them. He urged the people in the house to hurry up, and he waited outside the house. with.

Even if the brothers were reluctant, they were scolded by the head of Caojia Village in front of everyone, knowing that if they dared to sleep late in the house, they would be kicked out and could not continue to live here. Quickly packed up the house and went out to work outside.

Just now, I was scolding them in the house, and someone outside the house heard it. By the time the brothers came out, people outside had already spread the word.At this moment, when everyone saw a few brothers, they came out of the house slowly, pointing at their backs, and the brothers were so ashamed that they almost found a place to hide.

Just as he was planning to go to Amo Liu to see if the man he picked up last time had recovered, before he got there, Cao Xiangnan saw a few skinny children standing there peeking at him. They recognized these children at a glance.

The children probably recognized him, they stood there watching him but did not dare to come over, and waved, "Come here." Cao Xiangnan said.

The clothes worn by the old people and children who lived in the back were scraped together from their village, and they were fine enough to wear, at least they could go out this day.When the children came, they were barefoot and didn't even have a pair of shoes. The youngest one was about the same age as Xiao An'an in his family, and only a pair of big eyes were left on his face. stared at him.

The younger child grabbed the older child's clothes, the older child walked forward, and the ones behind followed.

"Uncle Xiangnan." Seeing the leader standing two steps away from him, Cao Xiangnan hooked his fingers, saw that he had taken a step forward, put his hand on his shoulder, and said.

"Uncle Xiangnan." The smart kid also shouted kindly.

The oldest kid opened his mouth, and the younger ones behind him all shouted "Uncle Xiangnan".

"Boy, what's your name?" Cao Xiangnan asked.

"Dog left." The kid paused, probably struggling for a moment, and said.

Leftovers?What the hell!It doesn't sound like a serious name at first glance, "This name doesn't sound very nice." Cao Xiangnan took the older children by the shoulders, led them to the yard on the other side of the dormitory, and asked the younger ones, "How many of you?"

The younger ones gave him their names one by one, but none of them were good names, as soon as they heard it was randomly picked and shouted by people outside.But it's not surprising to think that these children lost their parents at a young age.Not to mention that there will be orphans in this era. In the peaceful era he lived in, the little beggars on the road didn't know how many.

So when he thought of his parents later, Cao Xiangnan was still very grateful that he had at least one grandma who was willing to support him. His father was nothing but a few hundred dollars a month from his grandma for his living expenses.

"These names don't sound good. You all should choose a name that sounds better?" Cao Xiangnan said to the kid in his arms with a smile in a negotiating tone.

"Okay." The answer was without any hesitation, which meant waiting for him to take it.

There are just a few children here, big and small, and choosing a name is not an easy task, "Let me name you? Let me think about it." Cao Xiangnan met the eyes of the young ones looking at him, and Cao Xiangnan would Can't think of so many names.

"How are you living here these few days?" Cao Xiangnan couldn't figure it out for a while, so he first asked them how they were living here these few days.

"Okay!" The answer was also straightforward. Gou Sheng looked at Uncle Xiang Nan who was holding his shoulders. He didn't forget that this uncle had the final say in this academy. He licked his lips and asked nervously, "Uncle Xiang Nan, Is it true that you said we can stay here and study?"

This was what he was most concerned about. After hearing what this person said that they could stay here that day, Gou Sheng had been thinking about it these days, looking forward to meeting this person and asking him clearly.

"Hmm, these few months I've been studying and reading with Mr. Zheng. By the end of February and the beginning of March next year, I will arrange for you to take a simple assessment. If you pass the test, you will stay in this academy to study. If you fail the test..." You guys I also understand!Cao Xiangnan looked at the half-grown boy, and saw a light in the boy's eyes.

"Okay, we will all live." They will all stay, Gou Sheng believes.

"Okay, don't let me down." Cao Xiangnan patted the child on the shoulder, and when he walked over, he saw Zheng Shubo and Liang Yan outside. They were all cleaning up the fallen snow outside, and everyone who lived here also came out up.

"Xiang Nan, you're here. I thought you would come when the snow stopped." Zheng Shubo saw the person coming, and shouted with a smile.

"Come here to see how everyone is doing here. Are you all okay here?" Cao Xiangnan was carrying a few little ones behind him. Seeing Zheng Shubo looking at the little ones, he just said that they were his future students, and then Tell a few children that this is Mr. Zheng who will teach them to read in the future, and let them call "Mr. Zheng".

It started snowing as soon as the children arrived, and they hadn't seen their Mr. Zheng yet. When they saw him, they all respectfully called out "Mr. Zheng."

"Hey." Zheng Shubo hadn't seen many children before, but he had heard about the orphans who came to the academy. After a second thought, he thought that these children might be the orphans who came later, " Everyone lives here very well," he said.

southward?Cao Xiangnan?Cao Silang?As soon as Zhao Yicheng, who was standing there, heard the name, he looked up subconsciously, and saw Cao Silang who was walking towards Mr. Zheng with a few children.

Looking at it from his angle, he could only see a side face of the other party.

Zhao Yicheng was stunned for a moment, this person was much younger than he imagined, he didn't expect that the one who helped him was such a young boy, the powerful Cao Jiashiro who everyone said was so young.
