Otherworldly Days

The sun set into the mountains and it was dark.

The small village also became quiet, and every household closed their doors. People who had worked all day took a bath and fell asleep as soon as it got dark.

The children all went to bed after taking a bath, Xiangzi went back to sleep alone now, An An and Xingxing were younger, the two children sometimes slept together, and they didn't force them to sleep by themselves.

Cao Xiangnan put the two children to sleep tonight and let them sleep together.

Qi Wanfeng came over after taking a shower, saw the sleeping child, bowed his head and kissed his little An'an, and then kissed the other child.To them, the three in the family are their little ones.

"Let's go back to sleep too." Cao Xiangnan covered the child with a quilt, and the oil lamp in the room was still on. They went out and closed the door, and went back to their room.

The lights in the room were blown out, the people inside went to bed, and Qi Wanfeng put down the mosquito net.

The summer night wind blows in through the open windows, and the house is cool.The air here is fresh and clean, which is particularly good. Even in the hottest summer, it will not make people feel particularly unbearable.

In this small village, he is used to a life of rising to the crowing of cocks and sleeping until the sun sets.Because of having this person by his side, Cao Xiangnan didn't feel that these days were boring, but felt that every day was very solid.

For a long time after his grandmother died in his last life, he was alone and had no home. He didn’t even know where to go after school holidays. He had to find a place to continue working to earn tuition and fees for the next year. living expenses.At that time, it was not that I never felt the loneliness of a person, but in the face of hunger and survival, being alone was thin and meaningless.

But when he came here, he had the evening breeze, had children, and a child who was about to come, everything became different.What he wants to do is to feed the whole family, so that they don't have to go hungry, and don't have to feel wronged. He doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but he thinks it's worth it if it's just a little bit of hard work.

"Fulang?" Qi Wanfeng didn't know what Fulang was thinking when he became quiet all of a sudden, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he yelled.

"Well, it's nothing, go to sleep, I remembered something from the past." Cao Xiangnan touched the man in his arms, bowed his head and kissed his temple hair, put his arms around the man, and hugged him tightly inside.

"What did you think of?" Qi Wanfeng asked.

"I think it's good to have you all in the future, and what does this little guy who is about to come out look like." Cao Xiangnan put his hand on Qi Wanfeng's belly, and since this child can move, he will greet him from time to time , moving his little fists and kicking his little feet, he is an active kid when he thinks about it.

The corners of Qi Wanfeng's mouth curled up, showing a smile, "I will be as well-behaved and sensible as An An Xiangzi and the others." The two of them talked without saying a word, with their backs against Fu Lang's chest, listening to his words With the sound of his heartbeat and his eyelids getting heavier, he didn't think too much, and slowly fell asleep.

Cao Xiangnan gradually fell asleep when the person in his arms fell asleep and the sound of insects outside became more and more lively.

Early the next morning, everyone came here one after another, and Sun Ji and his father also came early.The family still makes river noodles every day, and sends them to the town for sale. The shop in the town is now managed by Sun Yanshan, and Cao Dapeng is in charge of cooking the food, and there are two other jobs.

The newly found shop was not very satisfactory after a few visits. Either the location is not good, or the rent is too expensive and it is not worthwhile, and there is no need to waste the money.

If he wants to buy a shop, it is not suitable now, because the money in his hand is limited, and the money invested is greater than the money he receives, so some issues need to be considered more.The matter of the shop will be delayed for a while. Cao Xiangnan wants to wait until the time is more mature next year before considering the matter of buying a shop.

The rattling sound of the carriage left, Cao Dapeng drove the carriage and Sun Yanshan left first.

The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the rice noodles have been steamed, and the inside of the dustpan board has been cut, and it will be sent to the town later.The fire in the stove was still burning, and the clear rice wine began to flow out of the bamboo tube and into the bucket, and the kitchen smelled like wine.

At dawn, the children also got up, and the sound of children's laughter began to be heard in the house.The person who is pregnant now eats and sleeps well, and his body is also very good. He can sleep until dawn. At this time every day, he hears the sound outside, Qi Wanfeng also wakes up. The sheep in the sheepfold are bleating. , Rabbits are used to being fed and are not afraid of people. Xiangzi and Kangkang are feeding the sheep and rabbits with tender grass.

The chicks raised a flock of big chickens and ran out of the coop.A hole is specially left in the corner, through which the chickens can go out. After feeding in the morning, a flock of chickens will go out for a whole day, and come back at night, and feed them again. I went into the chicken coop and went to sleep.

The chicken coop and the sheep pens have to be cleaned every day, and the horses in the family are released outside, so they are no longer raised at home.

After Qi Wanfeng got up, the chickens, sheep and rabbits in the backyard had been fed. He touched Xiangzai's head and knew that he was a good boy.The other two little ones raised their chins and stared at him with round eyes, waiting for him to touch them. He also smiled and stretched out his hand to touch them, saying, "They are all Eminem's good children."

"Em, Eminem." An An and Xing Xing walked over, each hugging their thighs.

Xiangzi stood there watching, his eyes full of longing, but he just didn't dare.

Although there are two more children in the family, there is actually no need for him to worry about it. Xiangzi is a very sensible child and can help them with any work at home.The husband in the family agreed to let the children work, and Qi Wanfeng would not stop the children from helping. He felt relieved that the children were so sensible.

The prepared breakfast was served on the table, and everyone sat together to have breakfast as usual.

After the garment workshop was built, a group of buddies went there to work.Li Mei and Wu Yue sent their children here, and they were about to go to work in the garment factory. The men in their family were also working every day, and the children in the family were sent to Cao Silang to study.

Some good things from several companies were also brought to Cao Silang. The melons, fruits and vegetables in the field, and fresh eggs were always indispensable. This time, only eight new employees were recruited in the village, and several new employees were paired by the old employees. In one area, Cao Xiangnan, who was recruited later, also met in person, and there was no problem.In addition to the original labor contract, it has been improved and is now much more detailed. Anyone who enters the garment factory must first sign the contract.

This contract maximizes the interests of his boss and protects the interests of workers.

The children are now reading and literacy first in half a day, and now a martial arts class is added. There are several people in the family who know martial arts, and whoever is free will teach.Most of the time, Liu Baishu started to teach boxing after he finished teaching reading, and after a few days of fighting, a group of children still punched well.

Wang Dahu also likes to toss this group of little ones when he is free, but this group of children especially likes this bearded uncle.

Cao Xiangnan would give arithmetic lessons to the children when he was free, and even Liu Baishu and Gan Weiqi would come to listen to him.The two seemed to be particularly interested in arithmetic, and they would ask him questions later, and he would answer everything. While working, he also gave them a few small lessons, and the two were smarter than the other.

If he hadn't learned thousands of years of cultural accumulation, he might not be able to compare with the brains of these ancients.

The boiled rice wine was put into the altar and put on the carriage, and the cotton brought back yesterday was also sent to the garment workshop.Cao Gang, the village head, went to the village early in the morning to take care of the affairs of the village, Liu Baishu stayed at home, Cao Xiangnan took the rest of the people to the garment workshop, got into the carriage, and he said to the people standing at the door , "Let's go first."

"Be careful on the road." Qi Wanfeng sent Fulang out and waved to him.

Some time ago, the wool and duck feathers that Cao Gang went to his contact person to collect were sent to the garment factory, and after treatment, they have been dried.Cao Gang has no time to control the area recently, and Wang Dahu is now in charge of collecting wool and duck feathers.

Thinking of a light down jacket in the previous winter, he was not afraid of the cold all winter, Cao Xiangnan felt that he had to hurry up to make the down jacket, so as not to let himself freeze into a fool in winter.In fact, goose down is the best for making clothes. Unfortunately, there are not many people raising geese here, so I found it through shopkeeper Fang.He has already got a few of them to raise, and it may take a certain amount of time to form a certain scale.

The group of people went to the garment workshop first, and two men were invited to guard the door. When they saw the carriage from the owner's family, they let them in.Hearing the sound from outside, Li Mei, the chief steward, came out. Seeing that it was their boss who was coming, he rushed to greet him. Now he no longer dared to regard him as Cao Silang from their village. Is their boss.

"A Ji brought a batch of cotton back from Nanyang. Let's send the cotton over and come over to have a look." Cao Xiangnan got out of the car and said to Li Mei who came over.

Li Mei greeted everyone, and Wu Yue came out of the room after a while, and everyone moved the cotton to the warehouse to put it away.Looking back, Cao Xiangnan explained to Li Mei and Wu Yue some things about the garment workshop, "You two come to my house in the evening, I have something to explain to you."

"Okay." The two replied in unison.

He led everyone into the production room to see that there was a workbench for each person, where everyone made clothes collectively.

The clear reward system implemented in the garment workshop is to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm to the greatest extent.To a certain extent, garment workshops are the most primitive form of capitalism, exploiting the labor force of workers to the greatest extent. Cao Xiangnan does not hide his purpose of being a capitalist at all, and strives to make these people do his best. Produce products to a certain extent.

After Cao Xiangnan took everyone to see the garment workshop, they went to the town.

Wang Dahu and the others didn't use their good horses to pull the cart, that would be too ostentatious.They also bought an ordinary horse-drawn horse.

The newly released rice wine was sent to Yipinzhai. As soon as the lid was lifted, the smell of the wine wafted out. Shopkeeper Liu knew that it was a good product. He immediately called for someone to bring a bowl, filled a small half of the bowl and took a sip.

"Brother, how's it going?" Cao Xiangnan chuckled, his smile was as treacherous as it could be, and it was like seeing copper coins raining down from the sky, a steady stream of money.Seeing that shopkeeper Liu wanted to come back after finishing his bowl, he hurriedly reminded, "Hey, bro, don't drink too much, this wine has a strong aftertaste, don't blame me when you get drunk later."

"Well, not bad, very good." Shopkeeper Liu blushed as soon as he drank.

After tasting the wine, shopkeeper Liu said it was done, and the next step is to discuss the price of this wine with shopkeeper Liu.

This rice wine is different from wine, Cao Xiangnan intends to sell it at a cheap price.Adding the profit he wants to make to the original cost, the price is not expensive, but it is much more expensive than ordinary drinks, but this price can also be negotiated with Shopkeeper Liu, and the two of them immediately negotiated.

However, the cost of transporting to Nanyang is paid by Yipinzhai itself, and the cost of transporting wine to that side has increased, so it will be more expensive to Nanyang.Cao Xiangnan actually planned to open a brewery in Nanyang at that time, which would save a lot of cost, but this matter should be discussed with shopkeeper Fang later.

It would be impossible to open a brewery in Nanyang without a backer. Fang Ziye must have a backer who can drive Yipinzhai to all places in the entire Feng Dynasty.He wasn't using Fang Ziye, it was just mutual benefit. If Fang Ziye didn't have what Fang Ziye wanted in him, Cao Xiangnan believed that the other party wouldn't look at him more.

After coming out of Yipinzhai, "Let's go to another place." Cao Xiangnan also took everyone to Luo's Medical Center.

It’s been a while since Old Doctor Luo came here. He brought Old Doctor Luo a jar of wine. In addition to giving Old Doctor Luo a few sips when he was free, this wine also has the effect of disinfecting and detoxifying children. He put these I mentioned it to Dr. Luo.

After staying with old doctor Luo for a while, he also took the opportunity to ask some things that Wanfeng needs to pay attention to now. Fortunately, old doctor Luo is in a good mood when he has a drink, so he said a lot to him.Later, old doctor Luo was busy, and he didn't have much time, so he left. The old and the young made an appointment to have a drink together when they were free.

When I went back, I bought a lot of things from the town. Now that the two warehouses at home are vacant, I don’t have to worry about having no place to put things.As soon as the inside was emptied, it was quickly filled. Now all the food is cooked at his home, and even jars and jars can fill a warehouse. Fortunately, he was smart at the time and knew to build several other houses as warehouses.

It took another half a day to return to Caojia Village from the town.

I came back with a big order from Yipinzhai, shopkeeper Liu had ordered a lot of rice wine, and I had to rush to boil the rice wine in the past two days, and when Sun Ji went to Nanyang early in the morning, he took all the things away.
