Otherworldly Days

Chapter 28 Reality is Skinny

The bullock cart walked slowly through the village. This was the first time Cao Xiangnan walked out of the gate of Cao's house after he came to this world. He saw what the village looked like.

With the low and dilapidated houses on both sides of the road, the appearance of this village is even more backward than he imagined.He sat on the bullock cart and looked at the people he met on the road, and they were also looking at him. The faces of these people were full of traces of life's sorrow, their faces were yellow and thin, and most of their clothes had patches.

It's not hard to tell the difference between a man and a brother. Most of my brothers are relatively weak and slender, while men are tall, so a tall figure like Qi Wanfeng is relatively rare among brothers, but he likes him more The Qi Wanfeng at home is like this.

Thinking that this person was by his side at this moment, and did not abandon him like his parents and those in the Cao family, Cao Xiangnan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, moved and grateful.He reached out and grabbed Qi Wanfeng's hand, holding it tightly, thinking that he would treat this person well in his life.

"Huh?" Qi Wanfeng didn't know why his husband was holding onto his hand, and being looked at by his husband made him look away a little embarrassed, and his ears turned slightly red .

Cao Gang in the front was driving the car seriously, and the family of three sitting in the back hugged each other.An An looked outside with curiosity in his eyes. The child was usually locked up in the Cao's compound, and he rarely had time to come out here.

All the villagers in the village heard about what happened in the Cao Family Courtyard. They saw Cao Jiashilang's family of three passing by in a bullock cart, and knew that they had left the Cao Family Courtyard and moved to live elsewhere.The people gathered in twos and twos were talking, pointing their fingers in the direction of the bullock cart, probably discussing the matter of the Cao family compound.

The bullock cart rattled past and left the village.

Cao’s old house is a short distance away from the end of Cao’s village. There used to be a few families living here, but now they have moved to other places, so there are no more people living here.

The bullock cart passed by, surrounded by fields full of farmers, and the spring breeze blew, and the greenery moved with the wind.

"Brother Cao Gang, this is it." Qi Wanfeng said.

Cao Gang pulled the rope, and the cow stopped and stopped at the gate of the small yard.

"Fu Lang, we're here." Qi Wanfeng said to Fu Lang as he patted the head of the child who was holding him tightly.

Before coming here, Cao Xiangnan had already prepared that the old house was old, but when he came here and saw the dilapidated and uninhabitable house in front of him, he was still defeated by this reality.

Often the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

In the past is a bamboo forest, and not far away is a large mountain, the farthest mountain is soaring into the clouds, surrounded by white clouds.Cao Xiangnan looked up at the mountain with his head up at a 135° angle, and finally looked back silently.

Cao Gang got off the bullock cart, reached out to take Qi Wanfeng's hand, and then went to pick up the child.He also saw this uninhabitable house, so he couldn't help frowning, and said, "I'll go in and have a look."

"Brother Cao Gang, I'll go in with you to have a look." Qi Wanfeng said.

Qi Wanfeng followed Cao Gang in. At this moment, he could only sit in the bullock cart and wait, unable to do anything. Cao Xiangnan was extremely depressed.

Cao’s old house was a mud-brick house with several houses in a row, but no one lived there for a long time. One wall was collapsed on the east side and the other wall on the west side.

The good thing is that this piece of land is huge, and he still has the title deed for the old house and the title deed for the three acres of land in his pocket.He asked his father for these deeds for the fields. Thinking of the constipated look on his Amu Zhenzhu's face, and the pain in his flesh when he took these things out of the house, Cao Xiangnan's mood can be It's been a good few days.

But this time he still has to face the reality. Seeing the appearance of this house, he couldn't even laugh if he wanted to.

When Cao Gang and Qi Wanfeng came out, their heads were covered with cobwebs and dust. It seemed that the situation inside was not good. Xiang Qi Wanfeng knew that this family was relying on Qi Wanfeng.He heard that Bai Lian from his family said that Qi Wanfeng was pregnant, so he might not be allowed to do heavy work. He said, "I happen to be free today, so I'll drive the ox cart back first, and then I'll come and help you repair a house. Fix the house before sunset, and you will have a place to live."

"Then please trouble Brother Cao Gang. Xiangnan is here to thank Brother Cao Gang first." Cao Xiangnan did not refuse, knowing that without help, he would be unable to do anything now, so he could only do it by himself.If everything falls on Qi Wanfeng's body, I'm afraid it will crush Qi Wanfeng's body.

Now solve the problem in front of him first, and then he will think of a solution for the rest.

After removing everything from the bullock cart, he took Cao Xiangnan off the cart by the way.

"I'll drive the ox cart back to someone else, you wait here for a while." Cao Gang got into the ox cart neatly and drove the ox cart away.

The bullock cart left, and the family of three was left facing the dilapidated house. Fortunately, there was a half-meter-high wall surrounding the yard, so they didn't worry about wild animals coming in at night.The yard was full of weeds. Qi Wanfeng glanced at it and said, "Fulang, I'll clean up these weeds. Please watch An'an and don't let him run around. I'm afraid there will be snakes and insects here."

The gazes of the two collided, and Cao Xiangnan met Qi Wanfeng's clear eyes, as if he was infected by the smile on his face, and his gloomy mood dissipated a little, he said "um", and said, "Wan Feng, pay attention to yourself, drive them away with a stick, and deal with the things around here first, we don't rush to finish everything today, and I will fix the rest with you when my legs and feet are ready. "

"Okay." Qi Wanfeng replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth, nodding.

In the end, An An, who had been sitting there for a long time, was restless, and had to run over to help his mother pull weeds together. Cao Xiangnan sat there looking at Qi Wanfeng and the child, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart, his eyes were a little hot, and he was about to cry. .He sniffed, knowing that he was sorry for Qi Wanfeng and the child, this leg needs to get better quickly to help Qi Wanfeng, and not let him be so tired alone.

His eyes followed the people who were working without blinking, his eyes were full of such a person.

Every time Qi Wanfeng raised his head, he found that his husband was looking at him, and he couldn't ignore that gaze, which made his heart beat a little faster and his cheeks flushed slightly because of it.

When Cao Gang, who had left, came back, Sun Bailian came with her, along with two other men, both from their Cao family village.Sun Bailian saw Qi Wanfeng from a distance and shouted, "Wanfeng, here we come."

"Bai Lian." Qi Wanfeng straightened up and shouted with a smile.

Sun Bailian held a basket in her hand, which contained food, "I brought you some food, here are some big steamed buns for your lunch. Here are some vegetables and meat for you Cook and eat at night." He showed Qi Wanfeng one by one, and waved to Fu Lang behind him to put down the things, and said, "I know you don't have anything here, and there are still some that can be used at home. Come out for you."

Cao Gang put down the big basket he was carrying behind his back, and there were everything in it, pots, bowls, and a small bag of salt. "Bai Lian..." Qi Wanfeng's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Hey, don't be like this, we are good friends, why don't I help my friend if he is in trouble?" Sun Bailian looks fair and clean, she is a clean and beautiful person, she is also straightforward, and she is also righteous to her friends.

Seeing people's eyes turn red, Sun Bailian panicked, "Don't cry."

"Puchi..." Seeing Sun Bailian make such a puff, Qi Wanfeng laughed, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were still red, and said, "Thank you, Bailian."

Sun Bailian waved her hand, gave Qi Wanfeng an angry look, and said, "If you're a friend, don't be so polite to me."

"Cao Jiashiro, I'm also here to see if you need help here. It will be faster if you work together." The simple-faced one is Cao Dapeng, who lives next to Cao Gang's house and has a good relationship with Cao Gang's house.

He also heard about the Cao Family Courtyard, so he just came here today when he had free time. He didn't come empty-handed. He brought some flour in his hand, handed it to Qi Wanfeng, and said, "There is nothing good at home. , I happened to have some white flour, so I brought some white flour for you."

"It's so embarrassing. I don't know how to thank you for your help. I can't take this." Qi Wanfeng knew that white noodles were not eaten at home at ordinary times, and only during the holidays. How dare he accept several catties of flour.

"Take it."

The two of them refused for a while, but Sun Ji on the side said with a playful smile, "You can take it, Wanfeng. If you push it back and forth, it will be dark. I don't have much food at home, and the hen just came down." I bought some eggs, and I'll bring you some eggs."

He handed over the basket in his hand, "Don't push it, it will be gone if it falls on the ground."

"Wanfeng, take it." Cao Xiangnan felt inconvenient sitting there, he could feel the kindness from these people, he would remember the kindness others have shown him, and it would not be too late to repay him in the future, he threatened Said, "Xiang Nan is here to thank everyone, really thank you."

Qi Wanfeng could only take the basket and said "thank you".

"You're welcome, we're all on our own." Sun Ji is Sun Bailian's cousin, the two of them look alike, and Sun Ji is also good-looking, always smiling, with a mouth that is especially good at talking , is a very popular person in the village.

When there are more people, the work will be very fast.

Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian did the easy work of tidying up the house outside, while Cao Gang and his men were doing the roof repair, and everyone worked together.Cao Xiangnan, who has inconvenient legs and feet, can only sit there and can't do anything. Even his son can help with work. For this, he can only look up at the sky and sigh in his heart.
