Otherworldly Days

Chapter 232 They all have a chance

The grandparents at home were very happy to see him back. The relationship between Sun Ji and his grandma was good since childhood, and his grandma loved him very much.During the years when his mother was ill, Grandpa and Grandpa never said that he didn’t care about his mother, and used all the money the family could afford to treat his mother, and later even sold the fields. It's just that Eminem left anyway.

After his mother left, his grandmother loved him even more, and Sun Ji also cared about his grandfather and grandmother.

"Sun, you have gone out, and now you are promising. Your father has also gone to the town to do business, and the life at home is getting better and better. Ah Mo and your grandfather are at home waiting for you father and son to come back..." He Ah Mo took his hand and talked about the elders and the weaker family, who in the clan had a boy who got engaged, and who gave birth to a fat boy, his eyes were full of envy.

Although she didn't directly tell him that she wanted him to be engaged, she also thought that he could find a good brother to marry and have a few fat boys.Feeling the back of his hand with the hands full of old seedlings, Sun Ji suddenly had the thought that he should also arrange the marriage, so as to heal Grandpa's concern.

The family still lives in an old mud-brick house. Now that the family has money, his grandma also mentioned that they will build a house next year.This is what it means to build a big tile house with blue bricks, so that he can find a good marriage for him.

"After that year, I asked my father to go to the town to find a gentleman to watch the day. We also built the house, and we will see where the new house will be built." His father also mentioned the matter of building the house to him. Now that the family has money, this mud-brick house has been lived in for so many years, and there are holes everywhere, and it is almost uninhabitable. Sun Ji also inherited the task of building the house next year.

The place where they live now is not big, just a yard and a few mud houses. When the time comes to build a house, they will have to choose a new place to build it.

"Okay, okay, when Yanshan comes back, our family will discuss it carefully, and we will build this house when we see a good day next year." Sun Ama was very happy, he never thought that he would be destined to live in a university The house is all thanks to his grandson.

After the new house is built, he will show his grandson whose elder brother is beautiful and virtuous, and it is time to arrange the marriage for his grandson.

Seeing how happy his grandpa and grandpa looked, Sun Ji also put on a smile on his face, but his heart was empty after all, and he didn't have much expectation for getting married.

At noon, a group of people came back from the other side of the mountain with a basket on their backs and returned with a full load.

"Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, are you in the house?" Someone outside the door called him Grandpa, Sun Ji opened the door, seeing that the people outside the door were all members of the clan, he called out with a smile.Seeing him, the people outside the door said enthusiastically, "The stepboy is back too, when did you come back?"

"I just came back today." Sun Ji walked over and opened the small gate blocked by the fence to let them in.

Grandpa Sun also followed. Looking at everyone carrying baskets and the meat in their hands, he knew that today was not a small harvest.He also went into the mountains when he was young, but now his legs and feet are not good, and his legs hurt after walking a few steps, let alone going into the mountains.

A thick man outside the door handed over a small basket in his hand, with chestnuts on the bottom and a piece of meat on the top, and said, "This is not a piece of meat, bring some meat to Uncle Wu's house, there is still a little meat here." Chestnuts are not a good thing either. It just so happens that the stepboy is back, so you can add some meat to the stepboy."

"What's the use, why are you being so polite. You have only a little meat in your family, and you still have to send some to me. Go and go, bring them home, and cook for the family to eat." Grandpa Sun saw The boy brought meat to his home again, and with a stern face, asked him to take it home.

"Yes, I just came back from town today and brought some meat back. There is meat to eat at home. You should take this meat home." When he came back, Sun Ji bought the meat, which is also the truth. .Others followed into the mountain and finally shared some meat, and the whole family was still waiting for a bite of meat, so how could he take such a little meat from others.

The last basket of Mao Lizi was pushed back and forth. Knowing that it was someone else's kindness, Sun Ji kept the Mao Lizi, and he invited a few people into the house for a drink.

"No, no, no, we are still rushing home, and we will go in next time when we are free." Several people didn't intend to come in, and they all rushed home.

Seeing that the people from the village who entered the mountain had returned, Sun Ji knew that Xiang Nan and the others had also returned.

It happened to be lunch at this time, and when he lifted the lid of the pot, he saw that there were only a few grains of rice in the pot of porridge, and Sun Ji knew that when he and his father were not at home, his grandpa and grandma would not be willing to eat .

Grandma Sun saw that her grandson's expression was not very good, and said awkwardly, "This, it's not that me and your grandpa don't do anything at home, and a bowl of porridge and water can fill my stomach."

The old man looked up at the sky with an expression of "this matter has nothing to do with me".

Grandma Sun scolded the old man in her heart when she saw the old man's desperation.

Sun Ji couldn't say anything, his grandpa and grandpa had been used to suffering all their lives, and now that the family had money, they were reluctant to eat something good.He put a fire in the stove and heated up the porridge water in the pot. He drank a bowl of porridge water with his grandfather and grandmother, thinking that he should let his father stay at home.

Fortunately, when he came back from the town, he bought some snacks and left a copy for the children of Xiang Nan's family, and brought a copy back home.

I had lunch with grandpa and grandpa at home, and I just drank a bowl of porridge and water.

Sun Ji asked his grandpa and grandpa to eat some snacks to fill his stomach. Seeing his grandpa and grandpa eat some snacks, his expression softened a little, and he said, "My dad and I save money at home, just eat meat every day. It’s enough. Don’t worry about it, Ah Mo and Grandpa, eat what you need, save the money when it’s spent, even if you don’t eat meat every day, you still have to eat enough.”

"Okay, okay." The second elder lowered his head, looking like a quail, and Grandma Sun responded.

Knowing that Xiangnan and the others will be back in a while, he will go there too, and after talking to Grandpa and Grandpa, he will go out.When going out, Sun Ji called out Sun Jing and the others by the way, and they still had to go to Xiangnan when they came back.

"Let's go, let's drink tea in the living room." Just as we were done for a while, when we saw Sun Ji and the others coming, Cao Xiangnan smiled and made a gesture, leading them to sit in the living room.

The hot water warmed in the small stove is just right for making tea. The tea leaves were brought back when I came back from Nanyang last time. Shopkeeper Fang gave me a few catties of tea.

Cao Xiangnan lifted the lids of several boxes on the table, pointed to a beige pastry and said, "This is a pastry made of chestnuts, try it."

"Can chestnuts still be used for making pastries?" Sun Jing stretched his head over to take a look, then took a bite out of a piece, the skin was crispy and crispy, and the inside was stuffed with ground chestnuts, which smelled like chestnuts. Fragrant and sweet.

"How is it?" Cao Xiangnan asked.

"Delicious." Sun Jing nodded and said.

At this moment, Qi Wanfeng came in from the outside, saw Sun Ji and the others coming back, nodded to them, and said hello.The little ones didn't need to be told, they all called uncle obediently, and little An'an ran to his father's arms to hold her, eyes licking the snacks on the table.

"Xiang Nan, don't give An An any snacks. An An ate a lot of snacks today, and she won't eat after a while." Qi Wanfeng saw his child's appearance, and his husband Those who spoil children, this child is almost lawless.

The older Xiangzi is fine, Xingxing and An An, especially An An, just like knowing that everyone in the family dotes on him, he is getting more and more badass.

"Well, I can't do anything about it." Cao Xiangnan met the eyes of the little guy who ran up to him and acted like a baby, with a look of "Your mother won't allow it, and my father can't help it", expressing that he is this aunt. Father also listens to his daughter-in-law.

Xuanxuan was standing at the table, staring at the pastries in the box, when Aning just walked in, took a look, Xuanxuan withdrew his hand.

Seeing that everyone was here, he smiled and said, "Lunch is ready, let's have something to eat."

"A Ji, A Sheng, you guys should come too." Cao Xiangnan didn't even ask if he had lunch, he just called everyone to come together.Seeing that the little guy in his arms was still in his arms, he didn't want to. After all, he was still a child, so he wanted to be coaxed. He lowered his head and whispered in the little guy's ear, "You can eat a piece after eating."

"Everyone has it." Seeing another child, Cao Xiangnan added.

Xiao Anan grinned, took Dad's hand, and said proactively, "Dad, go eat."

Xiangzi saw the smile on An An's face, his lowered face, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a smile appeared on his face.Xing Xing walked with elder brother, only thinking that after dinner, he could also eat a piece of pastry.

Qi Wanfeng shook his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little helpless, but it was not really angry, but with happiness.

After lunch, the children played in the room for a while and were about to go to bed. Qi Wanfeng and Aning took the children back to the room.

Cao Xiangnan continued to drink tea with Sun Ji and the others in the living room. When he asked Sun Ji about the situation in Nanyang during this time, he knew that Yipinzhai's business was very good until now.What he didn't expect was that now that it was cold, the business at the supper stall was getting better and better.

Fortunately, he had made arrangements before he came back. Even if he didn't go to Nanyang, shopkeeper Fang and steward Zhou would make arrangements there, and he just waited to get his dividend.

He asked Sun Ji to take a few of the Sun family's boys over there, and he was thinking of using these people in the future.Knowing from Nanyang that these boys are still working hard, he also asked a few words about them, got a general idea of ​​their situation, and gave them a passing score in his heart.

"The academy will be finished by the end of this month. When the time comes, all of you will go to study. I ask you to be able to read and write. At least there will be no problem with accounting and correspondence in the future. Let you go to the academy. Studying is just a start for you, and you have time to study on your own in the future." Cao Xiangnan expressed his sadness that few people in his hands are literate.

"At this time in the future, you all come back here as much as you can outside, and go to the academy to study. This year, you will learn to read and write with your husband first. As for what to learn in the future, I will make arrangements."

It means that at this time in the future, even the winter months can't be wasted, it's just right to use it for learning and training.

Now everyone doesn't even know a few words, Cao Xiangnan still wants everyone to know as many words as possible this year.As for other training, we will make specific arrangements later and conduct targeted training.

Fortunately, Sun Ji went to private schools for a few years when he was young, so he knew a few words and had some foundation.For the past few months, he has spared some free time every night in Nanyang to read and read. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he turned to ask the accountant in the building, and the other party was willing to give him some advice.

"Okay, I don't have anything to do here, you guys take advantage of the time and relax for a few days." As for the few who came back, Cao Xiangnan said that they arrange their own time, and the only thing he wants them to do is to strive for this opportunity. Read a few more books in a few months.

As for arranging them next year and so on, they will probably still go to Nanyang.

When he came out from the little boss, Sun Jing had a sad face on his face. He didn't like reading before, so he ran away within a few days after being sent to the school, and now he is asked to study again. Reading!"

Sun Sheng put his hand on Sun Jing's shoulder, and said, "You used to have the opportunity to go to the school, but you didn't study hard, unlike our brothers who didn't even have the opportunity to go to the school." He was looking forward to the opportunity to study in the academy.

Several of their families are poor, and they are either ranked first or in the middle, even if the family has sent them to study, they can't get their turn.What about Sun Jing, his family is better than theirs, and he is the most beloved son of his parents, so he is much better than them.

"That's right, boy Jing, you are still in the midst of blessings and don't know your blessings."

But in the future they will all have the opportunity to study, Sun Bing has a faint smile on his face, and his eyes are full of hope.

After the boys left, Cao Xiangnan left Sun Ji behind and had something to say to him, and the two talked for a while later.As for the shop in the town, his father, Sun Yanshan, is in charge of it now. What he means is that his father, Sun Yanshan, is in charge of the shop in the town. Sun Ji still wants to go out after all.

"I understand." Sun Ji nodded, "I'll discuss it with my father later." He said.

"Okay, let's figure out how to arrange it best. We've been talking for so long, and the shop is about to close. You go to the town and bring your father and Dapeng back together. Tonight we will be here Dinner is ready at my house." Seeing that they chatted for a long time, and it was almost time now, Cao Xiangnan asked Sun Ji to go to the town to pick up his father and Cao Dapeng back together.

Sun Ji understood Cao Xiangnan's meaning, answered "Yes", and stood up.
