Otherworldly Days

By this day, it was already the fifteenth Mid-Autumn Festival, and Gai Academy had stopped working until today, and the men who had received their wages and carried moon cakes happily went home for the festival, and they would rush back to work tomorrow.The road repair side in the village has also stopped working for a day today, but the clothes at the garment workshop have to be rushed out, so the buddies who work in the workshop have to work for half a day today.

"Ada, here are two catties of pork belly."

"Give me two catties of meat too..."

"Ada, I have a leg."

The business of the pork stall was very good early in the morning, and half of a pig was sold shortly after it was put on display. Now the people in the village have money in their pockets, and they are willing to spend a few copper coins to buy two catties of pork to go home during the festival today. Cooked for the whole family to eat.

"Okay, Uncle San, take the meat you want, take it." The big knife is up and down. If you want a catty of pork, you will never go to a catty. Cao Ada weighed the cut meat, It was given to the person who bought meat in front of the stall.

He listened to his brother's words and expanded the pigpen to raise dozens of piglets. Now they are fat and strong, and they can be killed and sold for a good price before the New Year.

Everyone in the family has been busy for two days. The shelf for growing mushrooms has been set up. Cao Gang took people up the mountain to pick the seedlings and planted them.Two days after Cao Xiangnan came back, he was as busy as a spinning top, running around the town and at home, and also taking care of the garment workshop.

At noon, everyone in the garment workshop also got off work. Li Mei, who was the last to leave, locked the door after checking, and went back with a few brothers who were waiting outside.

Da Da's carriage came back, Cao Xiangnan came back from the town, and picked up Aning and Xuanxuan by the way.Sun Yanshan and Cao Dapeng only waited for the food in the shop to be sold out, and they would come back later. Everyone came to his house for dinner tonight, so they didn't need to cook separately at home.

"Come on, get off." Cao Xiangnan got out of the car, and helped Aning and Xuanxuan get off.

"A'Ning, Xuanxuan, you are here." Qi Wanfeng heard the sound of the carriage coming back outside, and walked out from the inside.Seeing that Wanfeng's belly was bigger than the last time he saw him, Ah Ning hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Xiangnan went to pick me up and Xuanxuan, we'll come here first, the shop The guy in the store over there will help you look at it for a while."

"Well, that's good, come in quickly." Qi Wanfeng was also very happy to see Aning bringing the child over, and hurriedly welcomed him in.

Seeing Fu Lang behind, Qi Wanfeng called out "Fu Lang."

"I brought some vegetables and moon cakes from the town by the way. I brought the things in first, and I went to the village first to deliver the moon cakes. Is Chen Hong in there? Tell him to come out and come in with me." Go to the village to deliver moon cakes." Cao Xiangnan opened the curtain and moved the things down first, just at this moment Sun Dahu heard the sound, came out from inside, and came over to help carry things without saying a word.

Today, he cooks and eats at his house, and all the nearby houses are invited, as well as the third uncle and Liu Amo, who are single old people.Those who are free will come over to help with work first. Chen Hong came over early in the morning and is helping with work inside.

"Ah Hong is inside, I'll go and call him out." Sun Bailian also came out from inside, and when she heard that Xiang Nan was looking for Chen Hong, she went inside and called him out.

After taking all the things from the cart, Cao Xiangnan called Chen Hong and drove the carriage into the village to deliver mooncakes.

In the past two days, Yipinzhai has divided people into two shifts, and drove two of them to make mooncakes all night before driving out all the ordered mooncakes before today.There were a lot of people buying mooncakes in the town today, and when he came back, the building was still rushing to make mooncakes.

Originally, Cao Xiangnan only wanted to give moon cakes to his employees for the festival, but later he thought he would give them all anyway, so he simply gave them to every household in the village.In the future, there will still be many places where people from the village will be used. After building this reputation, it will be easier to find people to do things in the future.

The carriage went to Lizheng's place first, and Cao Xiangnan delivered mooncakes to Lizheng's family first, and Lizheng mentioned the matter of delivering mooncakes to every household in the village, and called Shanglizheng to go together.Li Zheng also agreed without saying a word, and said, "It's too eye-catching to go in a carriage. I'll call two people to come over and carry the load."

"It's okay." Even though he wanted to get this matter done quickly, since Li Zheng said to make a hole, he should find someone to take the burden. Cao Xiangnan didn't have any objection to this.

Li was going out and came back soon, followed by two or three men carrying burdens and a few children who followed, presumably they were children from their family, a group of children were laughing and making noise, Cao Xiangnan unpacked the mooncakes, One for each of the children. "How did this happen?" The man at the side wanted to stop him when he saw it, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's all for everyone to eat. There's enough here, let's eat first." Cao Xiangnan said.

The mooncakes on the carriage were quickly divided into several burdens. Cao Xiangnan still didn’t forget to tell Qi Ah, “Qi Ah, Zhao Ah, take Xiao Fu’er to my place if you are free here, everyone is there Yes, Xiao Fu'er can play with my brothers when she goes."

"Okay, okay, I'll take Xiaofu'er there." The person standing there responded with a smile.

A group of people sent mooncakes to Cao's courtyard, followed by many children, all of whom ate mooncakes with their hands.Now that the moon cakes were given to everyone in the village, Cao Xiangnan didn't forget about Cao's compound. Knowing that there were many people here, he also prepared a few catties of pork to send over.

The Cao Family Courtyard has divided families here, and the pancakes are delivered according to the two households. Li Zheng and Chen Hong count the pancakes according to the head. Knowing the relationship between the Cao Family Courtyard and Cao Silang, they also give more to each household. A mention.

"Uncle Seven, why are you being so polite and even bringing things here?" Father Cao saw that Li was delivering things with his four sons, so he hurried over, took them with both hands, and said a few polite words.

"Where did I give it to you? Your Shiro asked Yipinzhai in the town to make it, and sent a copy to every family in the village." Lizheng said.

"It costs a lot of money." Chen Zhu's heart ached, as if it was his own money.

"Father, Ah Mu, I brought you a few catties of meat, and you can cut another catty for the elder brother's house." Cao Xiangnan handed the meat in his father's hands, and those unpleasant things have passed for a long time , They are no longer like enemies, and they can still say a word when they meet.

"Well, good." Father Cao took it and responded.

Chen Zhu saw a big knife of meat, and wanted to cut a piece for that bitch Chen Li?Chen Li thought it was beautiful!

"Fourth brother." When Cao Laowu heard that his fourth brother went to Yipinzhai to buy pancakes for the whole village, he was reluctant to give him a few taels of money.Where is Yipinzhai?How much did it cost to go to Yipinzhai to buy pancakes and give them to the whole village?He felt uncomfortable immediately.

"Well, fifth brother, you're back too." Cao Xiangnan responded, and gave him a stingy look at the fifth brother.

Since his fifth younger brother went to him to borrow money last time, he asked shopkeeper Liu to help him find someone to check on his fifth younger brother.I don't know if I don't check, but I was shocked when I checked. It turned out that Cao Gaozhi often went to drink flowers and wine with his classmates when he was studying, and he had a good friend outside. No wonder the money in this family is not enough for him.

I heard that he has no money now, and that friend won't even let him in, so he can only hehe.

"Fourth Uncle." Chen Li came over with a shy face, took the mooncakes from Fourth Uncle, smiled and said a few good words.

Ever since he broke up with his family, he lived with his mother and watched his mother's face all day long. Now he goes out during the day and comes back at night when the sun is about to set.As long as he and his husband save more money, they will go outside to build another house and move out to live outside.

Now that the family is separated, the life of their family is getting better and better. Chen Li doesn't regret the separation at the beginning, otherwise they still live a life of not being able to eat every meal. He has had enough of that day is over.

On the contrary, Wang Yan has always been sour when speaking, "Fourth Uncle has made a fortune, and the pancakes are given to the whole village. How much money does it cost? If you have this money, you might as well give it to your family." With the first few dollars, we can’t even eat meat on weekdays.”

Wang Yan's words expressed the aspirations of several people here.

Cao Xiangnan is someone like Wang Yan who doesn't even bother to talk about it. Li Zheng and his group have already rushed to the next house to deliver mooncakes. After saying hello to everyone, they told his father, "I still have something to do. I'm leaving."

After saying that, he sent him out of the compound, and caught up with Li Zheng and his party.

Seeing Si'er leaving, Father Cao sighed, glanced at the second child's family, gave the meat in his hand to his mother-in-law, and ordered, "Go and cut a catty for the old man."

Although Chen Zhu was not happy in her heart, she still had a dark face, saying that she cut a catty of meat, and finally gave it to Qiliang.

As soon as Chen Li got the meat, she knew it was not a catty. Remembering that the meat delivered with a single knife was at least five catties, fortunately, he bought half a catty of meat himself, so he still smiled and said to his mother, "Thank you. Hum" and went back with the meat.

"Bah!" Little cheap hoof!Chen Zhu cursed in her heart.

Now Wang Yan is getting angry with his mother everywhere, and he doesn't like his mother in his heart. If it weren't for the few children who couldn't afford to support him alone, he wouldn't want to live looking up to his mother every day.

Now that the life at home is getting more and more difficult, he also went to work in the fields with his father. Where did he do these jobs before? !

Every household in Caojia Village received the pancakes. This pancake was different from the pancakes they used to eat. It had fillings inside, and the taste was different. I heard that it was made by a big restaurant in the town.The happiest thing is the children in the family. They have never eaten such delicious pancakes in such a big age.

"Okay, okay, this Cao Jiashiro is a good one." Ah Mo, who has lived in the village for most of her life, has never eaten such delicious pancakes in her life. After taking a bite, the old Ah Mo shook her hands and said Seeing Cao Jiashiro is a good one.

"No, this Cao Jiashiro is a conscientious man. He still remembers the folks and elders in the village when he gets rich." The old man said.

The children were happily running around outside while eating the mooncakes in their hands.

Every household in the village received pancakes, and people who were eating delicious and sweet pancakes were all talking about Cao Jiashiro's good, saying that their life in Caojia Village is getting better and better, and they have expectations in their eyes.However, there are also a few families who eat other people's food and still scold the person who brought the food in their hearts.

Fortunately, Caojia Village is not very big. After a circle, a group of people stopped and stopped, and it took an hour to finish the walk.In the end, there were still a few mooncakes left in the burden, so Cao Xiangnan gave them to the men who carried the burden and asked them to take them home to eat.

After distributing the mooncakes, they also went back to their respective homes.

Going back to Lizheng to drive the carriage, there was no one in Lizheng's house, presumably Qi Ahma had brought Zhao Ahmao and Xiao Fu'er to his house.Cao Xiangnan drove the carriage and took Chen Hong and Li Zheng to him.
