Otherworldly Days

The sun set on the hilltop in the west, and the faint afterglow shone on the pier. At this time, there were many fewer people on the pier than in the daytime. The men who were working had all returned home, and a large ship slowly approached the pier.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Cao Xiangnan saw a familiar place. He had only been away for about ten days, but he wanted to go home urgently, and wanted to see the person at home. For the first time, he felt homesickness.

The boat came to a stop, and he walked down from the wooden bridge. The men on the boat carried all the things down one by one, and the things were not heavy.He brought back a batch of cotton and cloth from Fang Ziye, and later bought a lot of cotton in Nanyang, including the seeds of various crops brought back from there, adding up to a lot.

It happened that his shop was here, and he couldn't find a car to take his things back for a while, so Cao Xiangnan asked someone to help him carry his things to the backyard of the shop first.

"Xiangnan, you're finally back." Hearing the knock on the door, Ah Ning came out and was very happy to see Cao Xiangnan who had come back.

"Well, yes, I brought back some things. It's late for a while. I'll take them back tomorrow and put them in the backyard first." Cao Xiangnan saw Xuanxuan who was following Aning, and reached out to touch it. Put the child's head.

Aning turned sideways and said, "Move in quickly."

Bags of things were brought in, and Cao Xiangnan gave each of the men two taels of money to buy wine and food. The boat would stop here for one night before leaving tomorrow. The men who took the money thanked the owner and left.

After there were no outsiders, Ah Ning told Cao Xiangnan what he learned today. He was very happy that Cao Xiangnan could come back today, "It's a good thing you're back, otherwise Wanfeng wouldn't know what to do at home alone."

"Is Wan Feng okay?" Cao Xiangnan was speechless after hearing that, the only thing he cared about was Wan Feng and the children.It's not the first time Cao's second son went to his house to be a thief. Thinking of Wanfeng being at home with a few children at night, what if something unexpected happens, and now Wanfeng is pregnant again, he can't even imagine it.

Fortunately, Cao Laoer and the others were arrested and sent to the government. They only paid [-] big boards and sentenced to a year of hard labor. It is really cheap Cao Laoer!But thinking about his fuel-efficient mum and second brother, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Wanfeng to deal with it alone.

He finished accounting and arithmetic to Fang Ziye yesterday, and gave him the formulas of subtraction, addition, multiplication and division in silence, and let him figure out the rest.After buying something in Nanyang City, Manager Zhou at the supper stall looked at it, and there was nothing wrong, so he came back.

"With Cao Gang here, Wanfeng is fine. You should go home quickly and have a look." Ah Ning was worried that Qi Wanfeng would be at home with a few children, and it would be hard for him to have a big belly.It's not convenient for him to go here. There are still things to do at the shop, so he can only worry in his heart.

"Well, Ah Ning, I'll borrow a carriage from Yipinzhai. Don't worry, it's fine. You and your child close the door and go to bed early." Cao Xiangnan also told others not to worry, but he himself was very anxious.

"Be careful on the road."

"Goodbye uncle."

After bidding farewell to Aning and Xuanxuan, Cao Xiangnan hurried to Yipinzhai.Aning who was standing at the door saw that Cao Xiangnan had left, so he took the child home and closed the door. Knowing that Cao Xiangnan was back, he was not so worried that Wanfeng would be alone at home.

Shopkeeper Liu saw Cao Xiangnan who had come back, took him there and told him about his family affairs, and naturally told him about his greeting with County Magistrate Wang, "Thank you, big brother." Cao Xiangnan didn't expect that Shopkeeper Liu also helped him behind the scenes, he said gratefully.

"There's no need to be polite to my brother. It's getting late, and you're rushing home, so I won't keep you here. I'll have a drink with my brother tomorrow when I'm free. I'll ask someone to take you home," Shopkeeper Liu shouted. Someone came over and gave a few orders.

The carriage was arranged outside, and Cao Xiangnan did not refuse shopkeeper Liu's kindness. He bid farewell to shopkeeper Liu, got on the carriage, and sent people to rush back to Caojia Village.The carriage traveled quickly, and it took half an hour to return to Cao's Village. From a distance, Cao Xiangnan heard his mother's cursing, and saw a group of people gathered around his door.

After a day of hunger outside, Chen Zhu brought someone to the door of his fourth son’s house as soon as he had eaten. The harder it is to scold.

Wang Yan also knelt at the door, crying and begging his fourth uncle to let his husband go, and the younger ones followed his mother and cried at the door.The little ones also suffered today, and after knowing that Dad was locked up, they became even more frightened, and they all cried loudly without needing Ah Mu to pinch them.

Quite a few people from the village came to watch the excitement. They all knew that Cao Lao Er brought people to Cao Silang's house to act as thieves last night. Now they were arrested and sent to officials. After a year of hard labor, I never thought that Chen Zhu would dare to come to Cao Silang's house to make a fuss. After thinking about it, he knew that Cao Silang was not at home, and brought someone to bully him. This old man is really shameless.

Knowing that those few people were punished to do hard labor and would not be able to return for a year, everyone applauded.In the past, it wasn't that no one in their village had lost things at home. Even if they knew it was done by those in the village, they could only consider themselves unlucky if they didn't catch someone on the spot.Now that a few people are gone, the village will be much more peaceful in the future.

Fortunately, the children at home came back early from school, and Qi Wanfeng closed the yard door, but he didn't open the door, and he didn't allow the children to go out when he heard cursing outside.Fortunately, several children are obedient, and several children stay in the house obediently.

Master Feng was also there with a group of people. They had seen this old lady's shamelessness today. Now Qi Wanfeng would not open the door and come out, ignoring them. They took one look and were ready to go back to rest.They got up last night to catch the thieves, and they didn't come back from town until the next afternoon. Fortunately, the host family gave them a day off today, so they didn't have to work.

A few days ago, they had seen Qi Wanfeng, the mother who came to make trouble every day. After taking a look at it for a while, they were about to go back to each other. No one cared about these shameless people. They cried and made trouble. After that, I left by myself.

The sharp-eyed man saw the returning carriage and shouted, "Cao Silang is back."

"Oh, yes, Shiro, you are back." Seeing them from behind, they gave way one after another.

"...God accepts you, you killed my fourth son, Qi Wanfeng, you even killed your second uncle, you evil spirit, you will be struck by lightning sooner or later, my fourth son married such a bad brother like you My son, I've ruined the whole family..." These words entered his ears more and more clearly, and the veins on Cao Xiangnan's forehead were sprouting, especially when he saw his mother sitting at the door of his house and pointing at the sky and cursing him at Wanfeng.

"Yu—" The carriage stopped, and Cao Xiangnan jumped out of the carriage, thanking the coachman who brought him back.Knowing that the person was going back, he let the other person go back first.

Chen Zhu, who was howling at the top of her voice for a long time, saw his fourth son, apparently did not expect him to come back at this time, and opened her mouth wide open for a moment.Cao Xiangnan walked in front of his mother, glanced at his second brother and the younger ones, and laughed, "Em, second brother, you are really my good relatives."

"Why are you crying at my door? Ah Mu, why did Wanfeng hurt you Erlang? You should tell me about it. You scolded Wanfeng at my door like this. Cao Laoer is here." My house stole, could it be that I asked him to come to my house to steal things? Speaking of which, this is not the first time Cao Laoer has come to my house to be a thief! I didn’t catch anyone when I came to my house to steal things last time. Come again when you're not at home." Cao Xiangnan looked down at his mother and sneered.

"And you, Wang Yan, brought a group of children to mourn at my house. What do you beg my family to let your husband go? Your husband was not sentenced by the county magistrate. Didn't you ask the county magistrate to go?"

"Mum, listen carefully, the luckiest thing in my life, Cao Xiangnan, is to marry Qi Wanfeng, and the most unlucky thing is to have a family like yours!" Seeing his mother's dumbfounded, Cao Xiangnan raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said .

If he could do it, Cao Xiangnan would have kicked them to death one by one.

It happened that Cao Gang and Sun Bailian heard that Chen Zhu had gone to Qi Wanfeng's place, so he rushed over, along with Chen Hong and Cao Dapeng. They didn't expect to see Cao Xiangnan who had just come back.

"Xiang Nan, you're back." Sun Bailian breathed a sigh of relief, outsiders like them really couldn't do anything to Chen Zhu.

Cao Xiangnan greeted Cao Gang a few times, and bumped Cao Gang's shoulder with his fist, thanking this friend silently.After saying hello to Sun Ji and the others, he said to Cao Dapeng, "Brother Dapeng, help me go to the compound and invite my dad over here. Brother Sun Ji, please help me to invite the village chief and Li Zheng to come over to my house together." trip."

Cao Dapeng and Sun Ji took a few people away and went to invite others.

Chen Zhu didn't expect Si'er to be like this, and Si'er would call him to come over.Even Wang Yan didn't dare to cry anymore, and when he heard that his fourth uncle had asked someone to come over, he felt a little guilty.

"Mum, second brother, let's talk about this matter clearly today, don't you come to my house to bully Wanfeng when I'm not at home in the future." Cao Xiangnan turned his head and said to Eminem and second brother who were looking at him .

An An in the room turned his ears sideways. He seemed to have heard Papa's voice. He ran over and grabbed Eminem who was packing up, pointed to the door, and said, "Eminem, Eminem, Papa...there, Father."

Xiangzi also heard Uncle Xiangnan's voice, but he didn't dare to go out and open the door.

"Your father is back?" Qi Wanfeng put down the things in his hands, and walked towards the gate with a few children, but he didn't hear his mother and elder brother scolding.Hearing his husband's voice, his heart moved. He strode over and opened the gate of the yard, "Fulang." Seeing Fulang outside, he shouted in surprise.

"Daddy, daddy..."

"Uncle Xiang Nan, Uncle Xiang Nan..."

The little ones ran out, Cao Xiangnan reached out to catch An An who was rushing over, touched the heads of the other two little ones, and when he looked up, he saw the person standing at the door looking at him.The gazes of the two intertwined in mid-air, when seeing the returning husband, tears welled up in Qi Wanfeng's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Cao Xiangnan strode over and held him in his arms, knowing that Qi Wanfeng had been wronged.

Qi Wanfeng shook his head in Fulang's arms, but tears fell uncontrollably, his throat was so choked that he couldn't even speak.
