Otherworldly Days

Sitting in a carriage for the first time, Cao Xiangnan still felt a little fresh. He didn't have to walk from south to north with crutches, and then from north to south, and finally he could rest for a while.

They went to the grain store and returned to the store where they bought the rice. This time they ordered five hundred catties of rice in one go. Last time, the owner of the grain store promised them that if they wanted more than five hundred catties of rice, the price would be higher. Let's discuss it again.This time they asked for [-] catties, and they lowered the price to the lowest, so low that the boss didn't even want to do business with them.

Cao Xiangnan simply bought an extra bag of rice to eat at home. He eats coarse grains every day, and he also wants to eat fine grains.If their family is not short of money in the future, he thinks that their family will mainly eat rice in the future.

It happened that there was flour in the store, so he also asked for a bag of flour.

When it was time to pay, his flesh hurt, and he wished he could leave without paying. Of course he thought so, he still had to pay the bill obediently.

"Our stall is on the side of the pier. Boss Zhu has time to try our food. I guarantee that you will never forget the taste after eating it once." In a short period of time, Cao Xiangnan mingled with the owner of the grain shop. They were familiar with it, and in the end they sold their stall by the way.

"Chengchengcheng, I'll go and have a look tomorrow." Boss Zhu wouldn't be so fat if he wasn't a foodie, he couldn't resist food at all.

Their car couldn't take so many things back at once, and they had to buy some other things later. Fortunately, Boss Zhu said that he would arrange a carriage for them to take them back, which would be the best.

Later, they went to buy other things, so now they showed the benefits of having a carriage. They bought them all the way and put them in the carriage and took them away. Even he himself didn't have to work hard on crutches. .

I prepared more things this day than yesterday, but the time to close the stall after selling out was about the same as yesterday, so naturally I made more money than yesterday.After tidying up the stall and loading everything into the car, they headed back to Caojia Village.

The horse-drawn cart that delivered the rice from the rice store also went back with them. The two horse-drawn carts ran first, and the ox cart behind them was slower and lagged behind.

Fortunately, his family lived at the end of the village, and the place was remote, so people who came in and out didn't have to worry about the neighbors on the left and right seeing them. The carriage went around the side of the village and went back to him by the path.These days, their ox carts are also going in and out of this way, in order to avoid attracting the attention of those people in the village, otherwise they would be too eye-catching.

Sooner or later, people in the village may know about their business, but if they are found out later, it will be later, and the ears will be clean for a few more days.

"Yu—" Cao Gang pulled the reins, and Dahei stopped.

Dahei's name was given by Cao Xiangnan. When he called Dahei, Dahei snorted at him a few times, very dissatisfied with this not handsome name at all.

Hearing the sound from outside, the door of the yard was opened from the inside, and the three children ran out from inside, shouting "Daddy and Mom" ​​while running, and when they saw the daddy and mom who came back, they all very happy.

Sun Bailian followed behind and stood at the door looking at Husband who had returned home with a smile on his face.

The big black horse snorted, Cao Gang gave a low drink, and immediately became honest.

Suddenly the three children stood there, not daring to move forward.

Qi Wanfeng got down from the carriage and reached out to hug his little An'an. After being away from the child for a day, he was thinking hard. Hearing the child shouting "Amu" one after another, his heart softened. He put his face against the child's face, met the child's dark eyes, smiled, and said, "An'an, please help me move the things down first."

"Amu, An An is very good." An An looked at him like a little adult.

Qi Wanfeng couldn't help laughing, and put the child down.An An didn't run around, and stood at Eminem's feet sensibly, just like a little tail. He followed Eminem wherever she went, and could help Eminem with some small things.

The two of Cao Gang's family were not treated so well. Cao Gang reached out and patted the heads of the two boys in his family, and glanced at the daughter-in-law standing there, meaning to come and take the children away, and don't let them get in the way here. .

"..." Sun Bailian.

The clerk at the grain store delivered the rice, and after he unloaded the grain from the cart, he drove away without even drinking a bowl of water.

When Sun Bailian saw this tall black horse, he asked, "New?"

Cao Gang nodded and responded, "En."

Bags of rice were thrown in, and Cao Xiangnan remembered that he had no place to enlarge the rice.Cao Gang next to him said, "I still have a few big tanks at home, and I'll use a bullock cart to pull them over for you later."

So now this problem is temporarily solved.

There was no stable in his yard, and another shed had to be built.Fortunately, the yard here is big enough, and the dilapidated house was empty at the other end, so they only used one end, "Just build a shed at this location?" Cao Gang asked.

"Success." What Cao Xiangnan was thinking about was when they would be able to touch their chin back and forth, when would they be able to push this house down and build a new one. What he lacks now is money, nothing is missing.

The two discussed building a stable, and Cao just started to build it as soon as he said it, and it was set up for the horses to live in tonight.

"Bai Lian, I'm going to fry the vegetables, you look at the children." The rice in the pot has been cooked, the vegetables have been cut, and we just need to wait for the cooking, Qi Wanfeng said to Sun Bailian.

"Okay." Sun Bailian nodded.

The three children looked at the tall horse curiously, and Sun Bailian coaxed the three little ones to go outside to pull weeds to feed the horses. When the children heard this, they all went out to pull weeds outside happily, and he followed behind to watch the children. Just leave the heavy work to the man at home to do it.

The ox cart that followed came back half an hour late, and moved the things back to the yard. Sun Ji and Cao Dapeng stayed here to help build the shed, and a horse shed was erected in a short time.

"I won't stay anymore, my family is still waiting for me to go back." Sun Ji refused Cao Xiangnan's request to stay, knowing that his family was waiting for him to go home.

"Okay, then I won't keep you guys." Cao Xiangnan said.

Sun Ji and Cao Dapeng left together and wanted to go home.

It was still early at this time, and the people in the village were starting to cook dinner.

Sun Ji returned home with half a catty of pork he had bought, and his grandmother was cooking in the kitchen. He took the meat into the kitchen and gave the meat to him, "Ah, I bought half a catty of meat and came back." , you cooked it for everyone to eat."

After selling the goods, he went to the pork stall to buy something. He saw that there was still meat left on the stall, and remembered that his family hadn’t eaten meat for a long time. It happened that the leftover pork was cheap, so he bought half of it. Jin back.

"You child, what are you doing to waste this money?" Grandma Sun took the meat and saw that his grandson went out to do a day's work and brought back the meat. He felt sorry for his grandson and was reluctant to part with him. , is a filial and sensible person.

In recent years, he has complained in his heart about the one who died, exhausted the whole family, and then left.All the good fields in the family were sold, and there was nothing to grow on the remaining few acres. Life is hard now, but the children and grandchildren are filial, and no matter how difficult the life is, they feel bitter.

"Ah, I will make a lot of money for my family in the future, and our family will eat meat every day." Sun Ji said with a smile on his face. "Okay, okay, Ah, I'm just waiting for Sun to make a lot of money and buy meat for us every day." Sun Ah also laughed, and said, "Why did you come back so early today? Your father hasn't come back since he left the field , your grandfather is in the house, you go and see your grandfather, I will cook the rice."

The dinner at the Sun's house was ready, grandfather Sun Yanshan also came back from the field, seeing his son who had returned home earlier than him, grandfather asked him about his business today.

The fact that he went to set up a stall to sell food with his cousin did not hide it from his family. When his father asked him about his situation today, Sun Jiyin said something that he should not have said, so he told the truth about the business of setting up a stall.

Sun Ji realized today that farming a lifetime of land is far less profitable than doing business.Now he has made up his mind to do business with Cao Xiangnan, at least no one in the family will be hungry, and they can have a meal.

After the meal, the father and son sat together. Sun Ji remembered the task that Cao Xiangnan had given him. He asked his father if he wanted to sell rice noodles in the village. He briefly explained the business to his father. After reading it again, if you sell more, you will earn more land, and if you can't sell so much, you can earn a few copper coins.

Now no one sells it in the village, the food is still fresh, and you can make some money in the village.

"It's also a good job. Let me try it out. If I do it well, it can add a lot of income to the family." Grandfather Sun Yanshan has a lot of white hair in his black hair, and his face is not too old. People are in their 30s and less than [-] years old.

In those few years, because of that person lying on the bed, he spent all the savings of the family, and even sold a few acres of high-quality land in the family for money to buy medicine, otherwise the family would not have such a difficult life, his I feel guilty too.

"I'll go and ask Xiang Nancheng if it's okay, Daddy, wait for my news." Sun Ji stood up happily, and strode out without saying a word.

Grandma Sun who just came out of the house saw the grandson who had gone out again, and asked the son who was sitting there, "Why did Sun go out again?"

"He will come back when he has something to do." Sun Yanshan said, still looking at the direction in which his son left.

After dinner, Sun Bailian and Cao Gang took the two boys home, and Cao Gang pulled the ox cart to bring the big vat of rice over. On the way, they met Sun Ji who was also going to Cao Xiangnan's house. Let's go together.

"Brother Sun Ji, why did you come to see me?" Everyone joined hands to put the newly bought rice into the big vat, so they don't have to worry about the mice stealing it at night, Cao Xiangnan asked when he saw Sun Jicai.

"Oh, that's it. I'll come over and ask Dad." Sun Ji told Cao Xiangnan about selling rice noodles from Cao Xiangnan, and asked him if it would work.After listening to Cao Xiangnan, he thought for a while before saying, "It's not impossible."

If it is now, the people in Caojia Village will know that he is doing this here, and he will definitely cause a lot of trouble later.

"Well, let's not sell it in our village, you let your father use the burden to pick it up and sell it in other villages first." There are also peddlers who sell goods in the village, but most of them sell small things, and few people sell food. Yes, Cao Xiangnan thought for a while and said, "I can give him rice noodles and sauces here. I will give you as much rice noodles as your father can sell. As for the price, I will give it to your father at the lowest price." .”

Thinking of the situation in Sun Ji's family, Cao Xiangnan gave them a convenience and said, "You let your father come over and sell it first, and then settle the bill with me at the end of the month."

So here he is equivalent to giving the goods first, and then paying the monthly payment.

"Sure, I'll go back and tell my father. Thank you, brother." Sun Ji stretched out his hand and patted Cao Xiangnan on the shoulder, his face couldn't hide his joy. At this moment, he really regarded Cao Xiangnan as his brother. like that.

"Thank you, everyone is our own." Cao Xiangnan patted Sun Ji on the shoulder and said.

Cao Gang who was standing beside him also had a slight smile in his eyes. Before, he knew that his daughter-in-law was close to Qi Wanfeng, but he was not very familiar with Cao Jiashiro.Now that the two families have gotten acquainted with each other, he finds that Cao Jiashiro is a person worthy of friendship.

So this matter is so settled.
