Otherworldly Days

Chapter 224 This day is suitable for hot pot

Before the cold winter came, Li Zheng, the village head and deputy village head led the representatives of the village to check the situation in the village.It’s not unreasonable that Caojia Village used to be the poorest place in these ten miles and eight towns. Many houses look old. At least [-]% of the houses are uninhabitable in winter, and some of them can barely live in after repairs.

A few widowed and lonely old people in the village should inform them to prepare their things and send them to live in the newly built academy when the time comes, and come back after the winter.After Goudan and Ermao were adopted by Cao Silang's family, there were no children in the village who lived alone without their parents.

Maybe God took pity on the two children and didn't let them freeze to death in the previous winter or freeze to death, and they have survived until now.Now whoever mentions Goudan and Er Mao in the village, no one will say that the two brothers had good luck and were taken in by Cao Silang's family and lived the life of young masters.

The houses of some people in the village seem to need to be repaired, and they should be notified to rush to repair the houses in the past few days.If there is any difficulty, the two deputy village chiefs of the village will register it, and then arrange people to come over and help them repair the house together.

If the house at home is really untenable in winter, and the whole family wants to live in the academy this winter, the young man and brother in the family will promise to share the work there after they go there.It is not uncommon for such a family to live there. It is true that the house at home is too dilapidated to live in. I also proposed to the village chief Lizheng and the others to move there and promised to help take care of other elderly people there.

"I've lived here for so many years, and I don't know which winter I was crushed to death by heavy snow. Death is my fate. Where can I hide!" People used to inform him that he would live in the academy after winter, and that some people in the village would also come to live there, and asked him to go there together, but he said he would not agree.

"... Needless to say, if you don't want to go, you won't go. The old man likes to live here. You don't have to waste your time here, you can go. The old man lives here very well, and he doesn't like to move around."

After returning from the town, Cao Xiangnan couldn't help laughing when he heard Chen Hong say that they were going to invite the third uncle to move to the academy after winter. That's really what the stubborn old man of the third uncle would do, What?" he asked.

At the beginning, he also felt that the old man Third Uncle was difficult to get along with, but after getting along with him a few times and getting the approval of the old man, he was actually a very interesting old man.Children's hearts are the purest. An old man who even children like him must not be a bad person. The children in his family really like that stubborn old man, and he is sincerely good to the children.

"In the end, the village chief came over in person. To put it bluntly, the third uncle didn't want to. He put on a face like this..." Chen Hong put on a long face, imitating the third uncle's face by [-]%.

"Puchi..."

"Like what the third uncle would say."

Everyone who listened to Chen Hong's jokes laughed.

"In the end, of course, our village chief was so powerful that third uncle agreed to move there." Chen Hong was full of admiration for their village chief in his heart, it was simply too powerful.

The garment factory is also closed today, so it means that everyone doesn't have to go to work later, and the time is free.

Li Mei and Wu Yue came over and gave him the key of the clothing workshop. Cao Xiangnan took the key and heard that they cleaned up the clothing workshop and locked the door after inspection. He was relieved ,"okay."

They would pick up their children when they came back from work every day, and it was the same today.

"Well, the children have been with you for so long, and I'm sorry for bothering you for so long. Didn't it mean that the academy will be completed by the end of this month, and after next month, there will be a teacher in the academy to teach the children? We Take the child home, when the time comes for the academy to start classes, we will send the child there." After finishing the business, Li Mei hesitated for a moment, and brought it up.

"Yeah, I'll take my Doudou home too, let him study at home, and then I can send him to the academy with everyone's children." On the way here, Li Mei and him When this matter was mentioned, Wu Yue also felt that it was not easy to trouble others to take care of the child for so long.

They have sent their children to Cao Silang's house for so long, and there are teachers here to teach the children every day. Even Cao Silang will personally teach the children arithmetic, and the learning is no worse than what they learn in school.

Now that Li Mei and Wu Yue have said so, Chen Hong also thinks it makes sense.

At this time, all the schools in the village are on vacation, so they are putting the child in Cao Silang's place, and they have troubled others for so long, so it is not good to continue to put it in someone else's place.Classes will continue at the academy next month, and as long as it is not snowing, they can send their children to the academy to study.

Now he is the representative of the village and wants to help manage the affairs of the village.There were no more vegetables in the field, at most, the radishes and soil eggs were about to rise, and when the time came, someone would send them here, and they wouldn't even be able to take their two boys well.

Now that the weather is getting colder and the wind is too cold, it is not suitable for the children to stay outside to read and write in the small shed, so the children are reading and writing inside the house now, more than a dozen children Detained in one room, the space is too small. Since others proposed to take the children back and did not continue to keep the children with him, Cao Xiangnan also thought it was okay, "That's good, we should give the children a vacation. Rest and rest. But you can't be lazy when you go back, read and write every day."

At the beginning, everyone sent their children to him to study, except partly because of the school, and partly because everyone went to work for him, and no one took care of the children at home, so the children of several families sent Come to him.

Now people have proposed to take the children home because the garment workshop is on holiday and everyone has time to take care of the children.What's more, the school is closed, and the "private school" run by his family can also be closed, so both adults and children can have a rest.

Several children responded to him in a hurry, promising to read and write well when they go back, so that he can rest assured.After playing with the children, Cao Xiangnan said to the adults of the family, "If the children want to come to my house to play, just bring the children to play. The children are familiar with playing together and like to play together."

"Okay, okay." Chen Hong said repeatedly.

So this means that the children are also on vacation, and they don't need to be sent to him for the next few days, so they can relax a lot.

After picking up the child, Chen Hong, Li Mei and Wu Yue took the child back to the village.

It was a cold day to eat hot pot, and there was no cooking at night. I cooked a pot of rice and a large pot of mutton soup, which will be used as the soup base for the hot pot later.The mushrooms that happened to grow and the vegetables in the greenhouse grew well. I pulled some up and prepared to wash the hot pot tonight. I made some meatballs by hand, and pulled some noodles, and let them sit for a while to eat.

Wash the meatballs, yuba, tofu, tofu skin, potato slices, mushrooms, and all kinds of green vegetables. The vegetables in the shed are still fresh and tender. What Cao Xiangnan wants to eat is this tenderness. Wash the vegetables one by one. On the table, there are really a lot.

Put the cooked soup into the iron stove, put charcoal fire under it, the soup that was already boiling in the pot started to bubble, and there was a smell of mutton in the room, "how is it, does it smell good?" Cao Xiangnan is very confident in the pot of food he cooks. Has Yipinzhai's mutton hot pot sell so well?

But he remembered that when he came back, the mutton hot pot at the supper stall in Nanyang was the best seller.

"Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious. Hey, how did you cook it? It's mutton!" Wang Dahu didn't know that mutton could be cooked so deliciously. It was the mutton that he didn't like the most before. He didn't like to drink mutton soup, but when he smelled it, his saliva began to drool.

"There are a lot of things in it." Cao Xiangnan showed a mysterious smile, with a look of pride that "only I understand", but later he briefly explained the soup base to Wang Dahu , Teach him how to make mutton so delicious in the future.

Wang Dahu listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time, "Well, that's how it is. I'll try it myself in the future."

Liu Baishu, who came in from behind with something, smiled when he saw the two people talking and listening.

Since the bacon was cooked, no more sesame and mung beans came over, and he felt a lot better in an instant.Even if he knew that this was his man, no one would take it away, but he had to admit in his heart that he didn't like this man to visit other brothers, even if he just took a look!

"Everyone is here to eat."

"Hey, here we come."

The children from the other families were all taken back. There are still quite a few children in their family, but not as many as before.The children all sat on the chairs, waiting for the meal to be served. Seeing that everything on the table was raw, they lowered their heads and muttered, covering their mouths and laughing again.

"Little idiot, I won't let you eat them raw. They will be boiled later." Cao Xiangnan couldn't help laughing when he heard the murmurs of several children, and with a spoon in his hand, he poured the mutton soup into the bowl .

"This soup is still very hot, please drink it slowly." Cao Xiangnan reminded.

"Hot hot..." There was a small one there who started to protest.

"Eat something else first when it's hot." The cooked noodles were mixed with sauce, Qi Wanfeng put the noodles over and asked, "The noodles are ready, who wants to eat the noodles?"

"I, I want to eat."

"Em, Ann wants."

"Okay, okay, wait, there are all of them." Qi Wanfeng responded.

"Let me do it." Aning stood up, helping Qi Wanfeng, filling the small bowls of several children with noodles.
