Otherworldly Days

On the second day, the person on the bed seemed to know that he was going on a long trip today. The person who was still sleeping at this time on weekdays seemed to wake up when he moved his arms today.The stiff body paused, Cao Xiangnan lay down again, reached out and patted the person who was about to wake up, and coaxed in a low voice, "Go to sleep, sleep for a while, it's still early."

The person in the dream seemed to hear the familiar voice, groaned, rubbed his head on the soft pillow, kept his closed eyes open, and then fell asleep peacefully.

After waiting for a while, the person in his arms breathed evenly. Seeing that the person was not moving, he knew that he was asleep, so Cao Xiangnan got up carefully, and put a quilt around the waist of the person on the bed, for fear of waking him up. I didn't dare to move him anymore.

Before dawn, everyone came over to grind rice to make rice noodles.

When the finished things were loaded into the car, he went back to the house and took the package that he packed up last night. When he was about to go out, Cao Xiangnan still kissed the person who was still sleeping, and he was reluctant to carry the package and put it lightly. step, gently closed the door, and went out, "Uncle Xiangnan is gone, and he will be back in a few days. I will leave the house to you. Take good care of my brothers." This child wakes up early every morning to help with work. , Cao Xiangnan reached out and touched Xiangzi's head, knowing that the boy was a good boy.

"Okay, Xiangzi will, don't worry, Uncle Xiangnan, Xiangzi and younger brother are waiting at home for Uncle Xiangnan to come back." Xiangzi promised his uncle like a little adult.

Cao Xiangnan knew that this child was not just talking, but a young adult who could really help with work. When he was about to get into the carriage, he turned to Sun Bailian and said, "Bailian, when Wanfeng wakes up, tell him I am leaving."

"Well, yes, you have a good trip." Sun Bailian nodded and said.

After getting into the carriage and waving to the people standing at the door, Cao Xiangnan said to the people who were driving, "Let's go."

The people standing at the door waited for the carriage to leave before turning back.

As soon as the carriage left, the sleeping people in the room suddenly opened their eyes and woke up from their sleep.Qi Wanfeng woke up and looked at the empty bed, and after a while, he reached out and touched that place, as if Fulang's body temperature was still there.

Knowing that Fulang is going to Nanyang today, but now that Fulang is only going away for a few days, he will come back, but he is so reluctant in his heart.

The child in his stomach also woke up very early today. As soon as he woke up, he stretched his fists and feet in his stomach. He smiled helplessly, reached out to touch the naughty little guy in his stomach, and coaxed, "Good boy, Dad has gone out and will be back in a few days, you have to be like your brothers and listen to what Eminem says."

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and through his belly, the little guy in his belly kicked twice and stopped as if he would understand.Lying on the bed with a familiar smell, Qi Wanfeng found that he didn't think so much, as if he was still lying in Fu Lang's arms at the moment.

As soon as Fu Lang left, he couldn't help but miss him...

After boarding the big boat parked at the pier, Cao Xiangnan waved to Cao Gang below. Standing beside him were Gan Weiqi and Gan Weilin, who also waved to the people below.Cao Gang, who was standing below, waved to the departing people and waited for the big ship to set sail before turning around and leaving.

Unlike the last time I came with Fang Ziye, everything was arranged by Fang Ziye.

Cao Xiangnan asked for a small cabin, with only a wooden bed in it, which was enough for the three of them to rest, and he charged him five taels of silver for such a palm-sized place, not including meals, and if they wanted to eat, they had to pay extra. He could only swear in his heart that he was cheating.Fortunately, they prepared dry food and water, enough to fill their stomachs along the way.

"Let's rest here for a while, and we'll be there before sunset." It was windy outside, Cao Xiangnan took Gan Weiqi and Gan Weilin into the cabin, patted the wooden bed, let them sit, opened the window, and could see the outside big river.

Gan Weiqi sat down, leaning his back against the wall of the ship, in a relaxed posture.

"Wow, it's my first time to take a boat. This boat is so big." Gan Weilin stretched his head and looked outside curiously. The boat was on the water, surrounded by water, and they were on the water, which made him feel very novel.

"Sit down." Gan Weiqi glanced at him and said.

"How did you come here, riding horses?" Cao Xiangnan asked after hearing Gan Weilin's words.

"Yes, we came here on horseback." Gan Weilin sat down next to his brother and nodded.

From Fenshui to Nanyang, if you take a boat, you can get there in one day, and if you go by land, it will take three to five days to ride a horse.

In this era of no entertainment, like in the last life, you can play cards with everyone after sitting on the train for a few days. Now the three of them are chatting and talking in this small cabin.Fortunately, Gan Weilin is a talkative person. When he starts a conversation, the other party can keep talking, so even three big men in a small cabin will not feel awkward.

Gan Weiqi is the kind of person who doesn't talk much since he knew him. He is a strict elder brother to Gan Weilin, and he controls him more strictly.And Gan Weiqi is a person who loves to laugh and make troubles. The two of them can't see the slightest resemblance of twins at all, they are completely opposites.

Cao Xiangnan is not a person who will probe into other people's privacy, he thinks that he and the two brothers are also good people, and he doesn't keep in mind some things that he doesn't understand.

A child's cry came from the cabin next door. The speaker stopped, hummed, and asked, "Is there a child next door?"

"There are passengers like us on the boat. I wonder if someone brought their children up." Cao Xiangnan said.

There is a small wooden board between the cabins, and when the children next door cry, they can clearly hear them, and they can also hear the voices of the people next door.It seems to be a young couple with a child on the boat. The child is probably hungry and crying all the time. They can still hear the coaxing voice of the young brother. The man who went out told the boatman to order some rice cereal for the child.

What happened next door, they can hear clearly on this side, and the child on the other side has been crying, even if the food behind is delivered, they will not eat it.

"I'll come back when I go out." Remembering that people here eat coarse grains, presumably the children refused to eat them, Cao Xiangnan opened the package, and took out two white flour steamed buns from the inside, which were freshly baked steamed buns. Also fragrant and soft.

Fortunately, they brought a lot of dry food, and there was still dried meat there, so the adults could make do with it.

Gan Weiqi nodded when he saw Cao Xiangnan going out with steamed buns.

"Knock——" Cao Xiangnan went to knock on the door of the cabin next door, the people inside heard the sound, a man in coarse linen came over and opened the door, asking him what's the matter.Cao Xiangnan put the two steamed buns in the man's hand, and said in a low voice, "I'll bring you two steamed buns. Soak them in water and let them soften for the children to eat. The children must eat them."

The man froze for a moment, then nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you, thank you."

When he went back to the cabin, the crying from next door gradually weakened, and the child stopped crying.

There was nothing to do in the back, and they closed their eyes and took a nap in the cabin. At noon, they were hungry, so they ate some dried meat with steamed buns.Occasionally, the giggling of a child could be heard from next door. Hearing the child's voice, Cao Xiangnan couldn't help but think of the people at home, shook his head and smiled.

The journey was smooth and smooth, and the big ship arrived in Nanyang before sunset.

The boat docked, and when they walked out of the cabin, they met the man next door with a young brother, who came out with a child in his arms, and the man nodded to them when he saw them. After nodding, Cao Xiangnan also nodded to the other party.

Strangers who met by chance, Cao Xiangnan smiled back at each other, took Gan Weiqi and Gan Weilin off the boat, and took them to Yipinzhai.The last time he came to Nanyang, he traveled half of Nanyang, so he is no stranger to this place.

Before they even entered the door, the second brother recognized him at a glance, "Hey, Mr. Cao, you are here."

"Is shopkeeper Fang there?" Cao Xiangnan led the two inside and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Cao, please between the two young masters." The waiter in the shop did not dare to neglect this Mr. Cao, and even their shopkeeper was very enthusiastic about this Mr. Cao, so they had to serve him attentively.

"Xiang Nan, Wei Qi and Wei Lin, you are here." Sun Ji in the lobby saw the person walking in at a glance, and walked over with a hard-to-disguise surprise on his face.

"It just so happens that there is nothing to do in the academy, so I will take Wei Qi and Wei Lin to Nanyang." Cao Xiangnan did not tell Sun Ji about his visit to Nanyang. No wonder Sun Ji was so surprised, but he could also see his joy, "How are you doing here with Shopkeeper Fang?"

"Okay, very good." Sun Ji said with a smile.

Just at this time, Shopkeeper Fang came out from the inside. Seeing Cao Xiangnan paused, he said with joy on his face, "You're here, kid. I'm still wondering when you will come. Who are these two?"

Shopkeeper Fang's eyes are vicious, and these two are not ordinary people.

"Two new guys, take them to Nanyang for a walk." Cao Xiangnan turned his head and introduced to the shopkeeper, "This is Gan Weiqi, and this is Gan Weilin."

"This is Shopkeeper Fang."

The two clasped their fists at Shopkeeper Fang.

Shopkeeper Fang nodded to the two boys, led Cao Xiangnan and the others upstairs, into the wing room, and asked the boys to serve tea, "You haven't eaten anything all the way, have you?" Thinking of it, Shopkeeper Fang called out again When I came back, I ordered a few dishes, and asked him to hurry up and let the kitchen prepare them and bring them up. He turned around and said, "I'll serve you some dishes first, and you can order after a while. Whatever you want, let the boy bring it up."

"Shopkeeper Fang, you are too polite." Cao Xiangnan said with a smile.

"Sit down, don't stand up." Seeing that several people were still standing, shopkeeper Fang asked everyone to sit down quickly.

Mr. Cao sent him so many good things. The shopkeeper Fang couldn’t hide his joy when he mentioned the wine. Now their Yipinzhai is the best restaurant in Nanyang. It’s all thanks to him. The kid's luck.

"The red wine and green wine that came a few days ago are not much left now." The red wine and green wine are fresh, but they will be snatched up as soon as they are brought out. How many bottles, I am afraid they have already sold out.

But this effect is also very good, the more unsold something, the more people want to sell it.

Shopkeeper Fang heard from Lao Liu that the red wine and green wine were not too much. He had to ask this question when he met with Cao Xiangnan. There isn't much wine, so I have to reserve my portion here."

"Definitely." Cao Xiangnan smiled and said, "Definitely save your share for Shopkeeper Fang."

Sun Ji also sat down beside him, and when he looked up, he saw the person opposite. He smiled and nodded to him.

Gan Weiqi also nodded to the other party. He had a little impression of this Yipinzhai, but he didn't expect Cao Xiangnan to be so familiar with the people of Yipinzhai. Suddenly, he was a little curious about it, but he didn't show it on his face.
