Otherworldly Days

The sky is full of red clouds in the west, wisps of white smoke rise from the chimney, and the people in the kitchen are already preparing dinner.

For the wild game hunted in the mountains today, the rabbit made a large pot of braised rabbit meat with enough ingredients. Once the large pot of meat boiled in the pot, the taste was delicious.After cleaning up a few chickens, put the whole chicken into the pot to make fragrant chicken. Stew until the chopsticks can be inserted into the meat, and then tear it with your hands and eat it.On the chopping board is a large pot of cut grass carp, waiting to be put into the pot for a while to make pickled fish, and a few side dishes are also fried. Needless to say, dinner tonight will be very rich.

Once the meat in the kitchen is cooked, the aroma wafts out, and people three miles away can smell the smell.A group of children playing in the yard stopped playing, and all ran over, big and small lying on the outside of the window sill, staring at the smelling cauldron and swallowing their saliva.

"It smells so good..."

"Brother, what's inside?"

"It's meat."

"Want to eat."

"Yeah." I also want to eat.

Cao Xiangnan, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the conversation of a group of children outside, and was overwhelmed by such a group of live treasures.Even the man sitting in front of the stove watching the fire had a faint smile in his eyes.

The temperature in the kitchen was too high, Cao Xiangnan was sweating all over, he pulled the towel around his neck and casually wiped the sweat from his forehead.The two men didn't think there was anything wrong with working in the kitchen. They worked here, and their daughter-in-law went to rest in the shade.

Now Master Feng and the others have set up another place to live over there, so after discussing, they also invited two brothers to cook over there. Now they are no longer coming back to live in the bamboo house here, so naturally they will not come back Had dinner here.There are a few men in charge of Cao Gang's house living on this side of the bamboo house. Among the four or five people, two are from Cao's Village, and the remaining three or two live here.

Sun Bailian is much more relaxed now that she doesn't have to cook meals for dozens of people, she can easily cook meals for just a few people.

I'm having dinner here at Wanfeng today, so I won't do it at home, and everyone will come here to eat at that time.Cao Silang is in charge of the kitchen, and his husband is helping, so there is no need for them to go in. He is cleaning the fruits and marinating them according to Cao Silang's instructions. Now they are free, and Sun Bailian is also happily Wanfeng sits here and talks.

"Well, we have already seen the day, and it will be seven days later. The house will be built in a few days, and we will move here." Speaking of her house, Sun Bailian's happiness is beyond words. Then we can live with Wanfeng's family face to face.

Xiang Nan is in charge of their house for them, basically he doesn't need to take care of it, even if he wants to take care of it, he doesn't know how to take care of it, anyway, Fu Lang is there for everything.On weekdays, he just prepares three meals a day for the workers, but now that there are fewer people, he doesn't even have to prepare so many meals.

He likes the house here in Wanfeng very much. When his house is built up bit by bit, although it is a little different from Wanfeng's place, he likes it all the same.Sun Bailian didn't expect that he could live in a big house so soon, and he was very happy when he thought that the house would be built and moved in soon.

"Oh, good, so our two families live near each other." Qi Wanfeng was also happy when he heard that, thinking that in the future, the two families will live near each other, and it will be convenient for them to travel.

"No, if something happens to your family in the future, I'll be able to hear it if you call out." Sun Bailian laughed to herself, and said with some emotion, "I never thought that we would live together face to face. , and still live in such a big house.” It was like a dream now, but he knew it wasn’t a dream.

"That's not it." Qi Wanfeng also felt that the curvature of the corners of his mouth was so obvious. He reached out and touched the protruding belly. The child will come out in a few months. This child's life is good. What happens when he comes out? have it all.

Now that his husband is here, he doesn't have to worry that the child will not be able to support him when he is born in cold winter. He thinks that the child will grow up safely and healthily.

The clatter of horseshoes came back, and the people who went to the town to sell food also came back.

"Uncle Sun, Dapeng, you are back." Hearing the voice from outside, Sun Bailian got up and walked over to help them unload the things from the car.Wanfeng wanted to come to help, he hurriedly shouted, "We'll just do it, this one blocks the road and it doesn't look good" I can get something else!Qi Wanfeng was very helpless, and didn't want to help move anymore.

"That's right, we'll do it with just a few of us, Wan Feng, don't move." Cao Dapeng said.

"Daddy, daddy..." The two children ran over, and Cao Dapeng patted the heads of the two children with his free hand, "Go play with you." The two children came to call daddy, and then He ran over to his friends.

"You little fellows, don't come here. It's so hot here. Hurry up and go." Sun Bailian saw a group of little ones lying here and staring into the kitchen. Hungry, he couldn't help laughing.

Qi Wanfeng hurried over to drive away a group of little ones, and saw that one of them was blushing and sweating profusely. He asked the big one to take the little one to a cool place, "Xiangzai, Kangkang, take the little ones with you." Brothers, go get some water," he said.

"it is good."

"it is good."

"Come on, let's go get some water."

"Don't worry, tell Uncle Nan that we will have dinner here tonight, and we will have meat to eat later."

"Oh."

Now after coming to Uncle Xiangnan's place, life is getting better day by day, every meal has meat, and he can still eat his stomach full, he has a big house to live in, and good clothes to wear, Xiangzi feels at ease.He knows that Adi likes this place very much, and that Uncle Memo is very kind to them, and he also likes it very much, this is their home.

He wants to help take care of the younger brothers. Uncle said that they will have a younger brother when the weather gets cold, and he must help take care of the younger brother when the time comes.When I grow up, I will follow my uncle to make money, and I will earn a lot of money to support my younger brothers.Little did he know that in Xiangzi's little heart, raising his younger brothers has become his small responsibility and great goal in the future.

A group of children, the older ones led the younger ones, and the greedy little ones looked back at each step.

"Xiang Nan, what delicious food are you doing? It smells really good." Cao Dapeng put the things in his hand on the table, walked towards the smelling place with his burly body, and asked loudly.

Followed by Sun Yanshan, who also came to take a look curiously after putting away the things.

"I guess you should come back this time. Brother Cao Gang and I went hunting today. This pot is rabbit meat, here is chicken, I cooked a fish, and fried a few dishes. You all stay to eat tonight." Let's have dinner, I've prepared everyone's meals here." Seeing Cao Dapeng and Sun Yanshan come in, Cao Xiangnan lifted the lids and showed them one by one, telling them that they had prepared their portions, and that the big pots were full of meat .

"Well, it smells so good, so I won't be polite." Cao Dapeng just smelled the smell and didn't want to leave, and said unceremoniously, "I'll go back and call Ah Hong and pick me up, and the house won't open fire." gone."

"Uncle Sun, go and bring grandpa and grandpa together. It's fun to eat together." Cao Xiangnan knew that Sun Yanshan still had his parents at home, but the two elders rarely came to him. Grandpa Ji has a lot of legs and feet, so he seldom goes out.Sun Yanshan seldom stays with him for dinner, and rushes home every day.

"This..." Sun Yanshan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and pick them up."

"Yeah." Cao Xiangnan spooned a few pieces of rabbit meat up, took one piece into his mouth, took a bite and thought it tasted good, and gave each person a piece, and asked, "Try how it tastes. "

"Delicious." Cao Dapeng nodded, the taste was just right, neither salty nor bland, and the taste was particularly fragrant.

Sun Yanshan nodded after eating a piece, and later he and Cao Dapeng went back to pick up the family members. The family stopped cooking and the whole family came to Cao Xiangnan's house for dinner.

At this time, the brothers who were working at home also came home from work, and they cooked a lot of meat. Cao Xiangnan prepared everyone's portions, and the children of several families stayed with him to eat, and the adults naturally followed.

As for the brothers whose husband and children are at home and want to go home, Cao Xiangnan put a bowl of meat for each of them and took them home. Seeing that they were still pushing back and forth, he put on a straight face and said, " I have prepared your portion, don't push it around, take it back and give it to the children at home."

"Okay, thank you, Shiro, and we'll take it away." Smelling the smell was so good, the brothers from several families didn't push it anymore, thanked Shiro, and went home together with the basket.

For dinner, two tables were set up in the yard, adults, children and the elderly sat down together, lively.A group of children sat in a row, gnawing their heads fiercely at the meat in the bowl, and they didn't even have time to make a fuss, they just cared about eating.The old man ate the fragrant and soft meat in the bowl, looked at a group of small children with cloudy eyes, and his face was full of wrinkles when he smiled.

The adults should take care of the children and chat a few words while eating.

Cao Xiangnan sat down in the empty seat next to Wanfeng, and he didn't forget to bring some food for his daughter-in-law during the meal, serving her very well.Maybe he doesn't even know that he still has a side that knows how to serve others. Maybe it's just that he didn't have such a person before, but now he has, and he is willing to do everything for this person.

Qi Wanfeng's appetite is very good now, after five months, his stomach is getting bigger day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he has gained a lot of weight. Not seeing his stomach, and seeing so much meat in the bowl again, he whispered, "Fu Lang, I've had enough, don't pinch me."

"You are too thin, eat more." Cao Xiangnan's eyes were full of smiles, he was only embarrassed at night.

He knew that Wanfeng's food intake had increased significantly recently, and he could eat a lot.There are a lot of snacks in the house, not for the children, but for Wan Feng, in case he is hungry, so prepare some snacks so that he can always have something to fill his stomach when he is hungry.

Qi Wanfeng thought that Fu Lang must have fed him too much meat to gain so much weight. While complaining in his heart, he was also filled with endless sweetness.But he didn't want to think about it. When An An was born, he was only a little bit. He was so young that he doubted that the child would not be able to support him. Fortunately, the child was raised safely later, and now he can run and jump.

Others noticed them, and there was a blessing smile in their eyes.

After dinner, everyone helped to clear the table and wash the dishes before going back with husband and son.
