Otherworldly Days

Early in the morning, the sun just came out of the horizon, and the sky was full of brilliance, when someone knocked on the door of their yard, Sun Bailian and Cao Gang came with the two boys.Qi Wanfeng went to open the door and saw the person who came early in the morning, and asked, "You came so early, have you had breakfast?"

"We came here after eating." Sun Bailian replied.

"Wanfeng?" The two boys shouted obediently, Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched the children's heads, letting them in.

"Brother Cao Gang, Bai Lian, you are here." Cao Xiangnan came out of the kitchen with a plate of steamed buns in his hand, and greeted the guests when he saw them.

Seeing that the three children were all staring at the food in his hand, he smiled and said, "We haven't eaten breakfast yet, and we are getting ready to eat breakfast. You guys are here just in time, come and eat some after you have eaten, I will I've also prepared your portion."

Put the food on the table, beckon for a few kids to come over, and pick up one for Sun Bailian's kid.The second boy took it with his hand, and the eldest son Cao Yikang glanced at his mother, and received a nod from his mother, and then happily took it.

"Mum, it's delicious, it's delicious." The second boy, Cao Yijing, bit the bun in his hand, and grunted contentedly from time to time, just like a satisfied little piglet.

What was discussed yesterday was that he stay at home to look after the three children, Qi Wanfeng, Sun Bailian, and Cao Gang went to prepare the things they were going to use next, and everyone worked together.Cao Xiangnan knew that his legs and feet were inconvenient, and going out would only slow down others, so he complied and took care of the children at home.

Cao Xiangnan got up early in the morning to make steamed buns and steamed buns. The steamed buns were stuffed with cabbage and pork stuffing.

The boiled rice paste is thick and thick, and it is very filling to eat with rice paste.

Cao Gang and Cao Yikang father and son had the same faces carved out of the same mold, and they were sitting there with the same expression, eating buns ferociously.

After taking a sip, there was thick soup in it, and Sun Bailian waved her hands at first to say whether she would eat or not, but she didn't expect that her eyes would light up after taking a bite, and she looked at Cao Xiangnan with bright eyes.Cao Xiangnan seemed to know what the other party wanted to say. The stuffing for the soup dumpling was made by him, and the taste was particularly good. "Let's do the first step first, and then it will be easy to do later."

Now the two families are working together, there are not many people who can do the work, and the three children are all young, so they need someone to come out to watch them.But Cao Xiangnan believes that as long as they do the first step well, the rest will be easier.

At this moment, Sun Bailian had a feeling that the two of them would follow Cao Xiangnan, and this day would definitely be better. This made him full of expectations for the future.

Cao Gang, who had eaten at home, also drank a bowl of rice paste, and put down the bowl after eating two buns and a steamed bun.Cao Xiangnan had seen Cao Gang's appetite yesterday, and was afraid that he might not be full, so he asked him if he wanted more.

"No more, I'm full." Only [-]% full after eating, Cao Gang controlled his desire to eat more, and didn't continue to get food.

Cao Xiangnan glanced at the man and knew that he might not be full.

"Fu Lang, you can eat." Sun Bailian handed over the leftover steamed stuffed bun to Fu Lang. The life at home is also difficult, and Fu Lang can't leave his stomach to eat every meal, and he cooks. The craftsmanship is not good, most of them are just cooked, the taste is not as good as Cao Xiangnan's.

Cao Gang shook his head, "You eat." He said.

The two younger children don't know much about the hardships of life, so they gorge on whatever they have to eat, with bright smiles on their little faces.The older child understands some things ignorantly, and is humble and loving to the two younger brothers.

At the dinner table, they continued to talk about the unfinished issues yesterday, because he stayed at home to take care of the children, Cao Xiangnan explained to Qi Wanfeng and the others one by one what he wanted to buy and prepare, and Qi Wanfeng and the three of them would go to town soon. Go up and arrange things over there, and buy back what you need.

With Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian present, Cao Xiangnan was not worried that they would not handle it well.

After breakfast soon, the few of them were about to go out.

"Kangkang, you are the eldest brother, you have to take good care of your two younger brothers, you know?" When Sun Bailian went out, she was still a little uneasy about the two boys in her family, and told her to be obedient and take care of the older one several times. two small ones.

"Em, don't worry, I will take care of my brothers."

"Mum, Jing Bao will be obedient." A certain kid patted his chest.

Qi Wanfeng touched An An who was holding his feet, and told him to take care of his two brothers and father, and listen to his father.An An is a little brother, and his temperament is originally quieter than the two boys, so Qi Wanfeng has nothing to worry about.

"Xiangnan, we're going out."

"Okay, you guys come back early."

The sun rose slowly in the east, and the golden light shone on the earth, and those who went out also went out.

Cao Xiangnan stood at the door with three children, watching the three go away, only he and the three little devils were left staring at each other. He had a headache thinking about how to spend the day with these three little devils. What a big problem.

Remembering that there were two rabbits and chicks at home, it was not an option to keep the three children at home for a day, so he simply proposed to take the three little ones out to mow the grass and feed the rabbits.As soon as the three little ones heard that they could go out to play, they screamed and jumped on the side.

It's been several days since he arrived at his new home, and he didn't even have a chance to go outside to see the neighborhood.With a cane under his arm, Cao Xiangnan watched the three children running in front of him. Although he was out to cut grass and feed the rabbits, he felt that he was out to herd cattle.

The trees in spring are growing just right, everything is recovering, and it is a good start to the year.

After walking not far away, he saw a small stream with gurgling water. Cao Xiangnan remembered that Qi Wanfeng said that there was a small stream not far away, and it turned out to be here.The source should be on the other side of the mountain. Seeing that the water was not deep, Cao Xiangnan didn't stop the three children from playing by the stream, and he himself sat down beside the stream.

"Brother, fish, fish." An An saw the fish in the water, pulled her brother over to look, and stared at the fish swimming in the water in surprise.

"Catch, catch fish, catch fish." Jing Bao was naughty and active, and he jumped into the water as soon as he saw a fish.

Cao Xiangnan sat there looking at the mountains, thinking that there should be a lot of treasures in that mountain, and he would take a walk up the mountain when his legs recovered.When I didn't pay attention, I saw the second boy of Sun Bailian's family running into the creek, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't get in the water. Kangkang, bring your second brother in."

He hurriedly picked up the crutches beside him, leaning on the crutches, walked towards the children.

"Jing Bao, get up quickly, uncle is here." Cao Yikang, who is relatively tall, stretched out his hand to pull his brother over, and said.

An An stood there with a look of doing something wrong, Cao Xiangnan glanced at the embarrassed child, and reached out to touch the child's head.An An raised her small face, saw the smile on his father's face, raised a smile on her small face, and called out "Daddy" sweetly.

"Cao Yijing, if you dare to go into the water again, I'll take off your pants and spank your ass." Cao Xiangnan warned the second boy, seeing the dishonesty on his face.

I heard that this child is the same age as his An An, not to mention half a head taller than his family An An, and his personality is wild.But for children of this age, it's better to be wild, he is just worried that his children are too quiet.

Jing Bao, who had been taught a lesson, was not afraid, and smiled happily.

There were small fish swimming in the clear stream. Cao Xiangnan knew that watching the fish swim in the water, it was not easy to catch them without tools, and his feet were also inconvenient, so he gave up the idea of ​​catching fish.

Unexpectedly, when he got so close, he found many small snails in the creek, and Cao Xiangnan's eyes lit up.The taste of fried snails with chili is really not too good!Glancing at the three well-behaved children beside him, Cao Xiangnan asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat something delicious?" "Yes." Jing Bao jumped up when he heard something delicious, and grabbed his uncle's hand He asked, "What's delicious, uncle?" He glanced at the fish swimming in the water. Could it be that he caught fish for them to eat?

Immediately he was very disgusted, the fish tasted bad.

An An blinked and looked at his father. The food made by his father was delicious.

"That's it. You go to the side to pick this up. After picking it up, I'll make fried snails for you tonight." Cao Xiangnan realized that he was extremely ashamed. He picked up a snail and told the younger ones to eat this.

So the first and third children picked up the snails by the stream, and they had long forgotten about feeding the rabbits through the weeds.

The three walked quickly, and it took an hour to reach Fenshui Town.

At the village head of Caojia Village, there is a large stone mill shared by the whole village. In the past, people in the village would go to the village head mill if they wanted to grind millet.They don't want others to learn how to make rice noodles, so they need someone to order a small stone mill.There are people who make stone mills in the town. They first went to find a mill maker, ordered the small stone mill they wanted, paid a deposit, and paid for the rest when they got the stone mill.

After passing South Street, they arrived at the pier. They came early at this time, and the pier was busy at this time.

The good stalls in front were all set up by people, and some stalls were doing good business. There happened to be a small space in the corner. Qi Wanfeng pointed to that spot and asked, "How about we just set it up there?"

"Will it be too far to the side?" Sun Bailian asked a little worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, we are not afraid that no one will come to our delicious food. We will just put it there temporarily, and we will move if there is a better place." The two discussed it, and Cao Gang stood there by the side, looking around around.

They can go back and make the tables and chairs by themselves, and they have to buy the bowls they need. There are still a lot of things in total.If you set up a stall here, when the time comes when the stalls are finished, you have to pack them up and find a place to put them.

The three of them looked around to see if there was a suitable place nearby. When the time came, they would pay some rent, and others would be willing to put things for them.
