Otherworldly Days

The floor tiles in the house have been laid, the doors and windows have been installed by masters, and the outer wall has been fenced. On this day, Cao Gang's house has also been built.If Cao Xiangnan hadn't transferred all the workers away, the house would have been built long ago.

The furniture ordered from the town was pulled over by truckloads, and the master who came with him brought two young apprentices to assemble the furniture.Like his family's furniture, this batch of furniture can also be disassembled and assembled. When the furniture was delivered, there were many spectators in the village. Cao Xiangnan came here early in the morning to help.

Carloads of furniture were unloaded from the car and carried into the house. Sun Bailian greeted them for a drink of water, "Thank you for your hard work, and the money is not much. Let's buy a bowl of wine to drink." The driver who delivered the things came with a small penny, and he didn't know this before, but after seeing Cao Silang do it a few times, he also learned it.

"Thank you, my boss." The men who took the money all thanked their boss, said a few kind words, and put the money into their pockets.

Caojia Village used to be known as the poorest village in the vicinity, not to mention giving them money, but no one went to their store to buy things. Now they have gone to Caojia Village several times and sent a lot of things. The boss has all the rewards in his hands.Looking at this big house, if anyone still says that Caojia Village is the poorest village, they will be the first to disagree.

The man who moved things in happened to see this scene, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he went in without pausing.

The driver and the man who delivered the things left first, and the master took the young apprentices to beat and install the furniture here. After the furniture was installed, they had to wait until the sun went down, and then they sent the master back.

Cao Gang's house is the same as his house, with five bedrooms and two living rooms. There are two bathrooms and a dining room, and the kitchen comes out through the back door.Although the structure is different from that of his house, it is similar with minor differences. The interior of the house adopts a simple and bright style, and the lighting in the house is good, making it comfortable to look at.

The population of Cao Gang's house is not large, and two rooms can be vacated for temporary use as guest rooms.But it is uncertain that one day Cao Gang will add more people here, so considering this problem at the beginning, when building the house, Cao Xiangnan simply used the design drawing of five bedrooms and two halls. It is good to build two more houses now. of.

"Brother Cao Gang, this is a big house. You and Bai Lian will live in this house from now on." The bed in the master room was assembled and put in, and the wardrobe, table and chairs were also put in place one by one. It looked so decent. Cao Xiangnan was afraid that even Cao Gang would not know that this room is the room he will live in in the future, "The smaller room next to it is for children."

"...This is the bathroom."

"There are also beds, desks and cabinets in the extra room. The bed cabinets ordered at that time were all ordered according to the room in your house, and each room has them."

"Hmm." Cao Gang looked around, although he always adhered to the principle of having a place to live in, but seeing this house, he thought it was really good.

A thought that flashed through his mind was that it was right to give Cao Xiangnan the house to build, if he were to do it himself, he really couldn't build such a good house.Like all men, he likes to feed and live well for his wife and children.

"Here is the fireplace. Firewood is burned here in winter. Then the outside and the sleeping room will be very warm." So they don't have to worry about the cold in winter. Cao Xiangnan introduced the places of this house to Cao Gang one by one.

Seeing Cao Gang staring at the fireplace and not leaving, Cao Xiangnan said, "Maybe you can burn it up later to see if it's true." He believed it in front of him.

"En." Cao Gang nodded very seriously.

"..." On such a hot day, you'd better wait for me to leave before lighting the fireplace!Cao Xiangnan's head was full of black lines, he didn't want to roast it in this room yet, but he could go and get the dried fruit to roast first, maybe he could dry it faster.

There is a master here, there will be no problems in assembling these furniture, so Cao Xiangnan went home.

The batch of dried fruit that was dried in the morning was still new, and some of the dried fruit that was dried in the past few days were almost ready. I wore a bamboo hat to turn over the dried fruit at noon, and I tried a few pieces that tasted good.Because the fruit itself tastes sweet, it looks even sweeter after being dried and condensed. Cao Xiangnan ran away after quickly turning over the dried fruits.

He wasn't willing to let the evening breeze bask in the sun, and now he wished he could treat his wife like a treasure.

At home, Qi Wanfeng saw Fulang running back, and hurriedly handed over the poured water, "Come on, Fulang, drink some water." There was sweat, and Qi Wanfeng naturally picked up the handkerchief to help Fu Lang wipe away the sweat.

"Thank you." Cao Xiangnan looked at the person who wiped his sweat with bright eyes, and his face turned red.When Qi Wanfeng retracted his hand, he reached out and grabbed his hand, holding it in the palm of his hand.

By this time the children had already taken their nap, and the house was quiet.

"Wan Feng, go to sleep for a while, I have to go to Bai Lian's to see if the things inside are packed, and see if there is anything that needs help." Now, Cao Xiangnan is busy all day long. I feel like I'm spinning like a spinning top without stopping, but I don't feel tired either, because it's worth it no matter how tired I am now.

Seeing Fu Lang's straight eyes, Qi Wanfeng's face suddenly turned red, and he pulled back his hand without any force, lowering his head, not daring to meet Fu Lang's eyes, " Hmm." He responded softly.

In the end, it was Cao Xiangnan who accompanied his wife into the house. Now Qi Wanfeng sleeps very well. When he went to bed and closed his eyes, he fell asleep not long after.Seeing that the person fell asleep, he put a thin quilt on the person's waist, bent down and kissed the sleeping person's forehead, and then Cao Xiangnan went out lightly.

"Come here and give me a hand, and move this bench a little bit."

"That shelf is over there."

"Come a little further, um, yes."

The benches in the living room are put up one by one, the beds in the house are put in one by one, and there are bookcases in the children's room. The big things are installed first, and the small things are placed below. Yes, tables, chairs, and things in the room are added one by one, slowly filling up this empty room, and gradually taking on the appearance of a home.

In the afternoon, the children all woke up, but no adults were there when they got up, so Jing Bao ran over to his house with everyone.When Jing Bao saw the new house, he grabbed Ah Mu's clothes and asked excitedly, "Mum, Ah Mu, is this our house?"

"Well, it's our new house." Hearing the child's words, Sun Bailian grabbed the child and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Seeing the older one standing aside, he reached out and patted the child's head.Kangkang has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and he doesn't need to spend any thought. Even though he prefers the second boy in his heart, this kind of affection for the eldest boy is irreplaceable.

"Shall we live here in the future?" Jing Bao asked.

"Well, we'll live here in the future, and we'll move here in two days." They can move here and live here when everything is packed today.

Before the things in the house were packed, Cao Xiangnan asked Sun Bailian to take a group of children back to his side, "Wan Feng is probably still sleeping, you stay over there and watch the children, brother Cao Gang and I are here." he said.

"Okay." Sun Bailian left with a group of children.

When the sun was in the west, with the help of the two of them, these things were completed a little earlier than they expected. The last piece of wooden frame was assembled and all finished.

"Okay." Cao Xiangnan looked around at the things in the room and felt very satisfied.

The dinner was still being prepared at this time, and he left a few people here for dinner, but the master politely refused him, saying that he would rush back to the shop.It happened that he had something to go to the town, so he and Cao Gang sent the master back.

When I arrived in the town, I sent the master and his two young apprentices, and they left.

"Brother Cao Gang, let's go to Yipinzhai." Cao Xiangnan directed Cao Gang to drive the carriage to Yipinzhai. He wanted to go to shopkeeper Liu for something.

"Yu——" the carriage stopped at the door of Yipinzhai, and the Xiaoer who came out saw that it was Mr. Cao, and hurriedly welcomed him inside.When Shopkeeper Liu saw Cao Xiangnan coming, he smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you busy with recently, and I haven't seen you come to town."

"I'm tinkering with something small, and I'll deliver it to my brother in two days." Cao Xiangnan smiled without saying a word.

"Okay, okay, old brother, I'll be waiting for your good things. Come on, let's sit inside and have a cup of tea." Shopkeeper Liu knew that something new had come out when he heard it, and sent him to the wing room upstairs. Take it in and ask Xiao Er to bring a pot of good tea over.

"Brother, do you know where someone makes this? I need to find someone to order a batch of goods." Cao Xiangnan told shopkeeper Liu what he was looking for. What he didn't expect was that the two jars of wine he made for the first time were very Success, the alcohol inside has been fermented, just wait to go back tonight to filter it out, then put it in a container and send it over to Yipinzhai.

People rely on clothes, and wine depends on packaging. A beautiful bottle can improve the quality of wine.He is now looking for a kind of celadon that is more delicate than the craftsmanship. The ceramic craftsmanship in this era is quite mature, but relatively speaking, ceramics are too rough. suitable.

He remembered seeing this kind of celadon in Fang Ziye's Zhuangzi last time, and it looked much more beautiful.

Just at this time, the waiter from the shop came to bring tea, shopkeeper Liu ordered a few words, and after a while, the servant came over with a set of exquisite tea sets, and the servant who brought the tea sets back out.

"Are you looking for this?" Shopkeeper Liu asked.

"Well, yes, this is it." Cao Xiangnan reached out to pick up a cup, very happy.This is the celadon he was looking for, but the shape needs to be customized separately. It is good to know the origin of this tea set, and they can find someone to make the bottle.

Cao Gang sat there drinking tea calmly, listening to Cao Xiangnan's words, he probably knew what he was looking for, and then contacted him for the sour fruit wine he was brewing recently, and he knew exactly what he was looking for the bottle for.

"Brother Cao Gang, let's go." After thanking shopkeeper Liu, they came out of Yipinzhai, and they drove directly to the village mentioned by shopkeeper Liu.
