Otherworldly Days

Lizheng's house is also a rare brick and tile house in the village. Their house has a large yard and is one of the best houses in the village.Cao Xiangnan took Qi Wanfeng with him, and Qi Wanfeng came to Lizheng's house together with the child in his hand.

The door of the yard was open, and a crabapple tree was planted in the yard. Cao Xiangnan saw Lizheng sitting under the crabapple tree at the door. He knocked on the door and called out, "Grandpa Seven."

"Huh?" The person who was leaning on the chair was about to fall asleep with half-closed eyes, and when he heard someone calling him, he opened his eyes, glanced left and right, and asked, "Who is calling me? "

"It's me, I'm Cao Jiashiro." Cao Xiangnan replied.

"Oh, it's Cao Jiashiro, why are you looking for me? Don't stand at the door, come in." Lizheng saw a family of three standing at the door, Lizheng recognized Cao Jiashiro at a glance, and came to see him Also happy, said with a smile on his face.

"Is the injury on your foot okay?" Li Zheng asked.

"Thank you Grandpa Qi for your concern. The injury on Xiangnan's foot is almost healed. The doctor said that it will recover in a few days." After Cao Xiangnan got a response, he went in with Qi Wanfeng, and was also respectful to Lizheng's question. to answer.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Grandpa Seven." Qi Wanfeng also respected this Lord Lizheng, and he was holding a food box in his hand, which was food brought from home.

An An on the side called out obediently, "Hello, Seventh Grandpa."

On the way here, he was taught by Em to tell him to obediently call out when he sees someone, and he kept it in his heart.After raising the thin and small child for a period of time, now the little face has grown a little flesh, the skin is not so dark, and the appearance looks much cuter than before.

"Hey, so cute." Li Zheng looked at the child's eyes full of kindness, and reached out to stroke the child's head.He also saw this child in the Cao family compound that day, and he was also happy to see the family of three standing in front of him.

"Sit down, you don't need to stand." Li was waving for them to sit, seeing the food box in Qi Wanfeng's hand and smelling the fragrance, he asked, "This is?"

Cao Xiangnan took the food box from Qi Wanfeng's hand, put it on the table, and said, "This is the food prepared by Xiangnan for Grandpa Qi. I know that Grandpa Qi likes to drink a sip of wine, so I prepared two or two for you. liquor."

Before going to bed last night, I discussed with Qi Wanfeng that I would come to Lizheng's house today, and I prepared things to come here today.At the beginning, Lizheng's family sent him two taels of silver, and he never forgot it in his heart.Originally, I should have come here to pay back the gift. I was in poor health earlier, and then I was busy with setting up a stall. Only now did I have time to come here.

"Hey, you kid..." Li Zheng disapproved, knowing that their life was not easy, so there was no need to waste the money.

"Brother Cao Gang and I opened a stall selling food in the town. This is the food we sell at our stall." Cao Xiangnan lifted the lid, and the rice noodles sold at their stall were on top.

He also came here today for a purpose. Except for a few of his family, no one in the village knew about the catering business in the town. He came here to say hello to Li Zheng.

Even though it was clearly written when the family was separated, they will live their own lives with the Cao family compound in the future and have nothing to do with each other, but they can't resist being shameless.In this day and age, the word "filial piety" can overwhelm people, and he needs someone with status in the village to stand by his side, and he can say a few words for him when the time comes.

The reason why he chose Lizheng was because he knew that this person had a good heart, otherwise he would not have helped them back then.

"What is this?" Li Zheng nodded, vaguely understanding something in his heart, he looked at the things in the food box and asked. "This is hor fun, made of rice. Also, this is Xiang Nan's appetizer for Grandpa Qi, I hope Grandpa Qi likes it." Cao Xiangnan took out the first layer, the bottom two layers, a stewed ground The fragrant and soft shredded chicken and a steamed fish were just delivered from home, and they were still steaming when the lid was opened.

"Hmm..." As soon as the lid was lifted, a scent came out, and I was staring at the delicious and steaming dish, so I didn't want to scold.

Cao Xiangnan also took out his final trump card, a pot of Mr. Zheng's favorite wine.

Mrs. Lizheng, who was in the room, heard the voices outside, and asked Ama Zhao, who was serving beside her, to go out to see who was coming.Amo Zhao came out and called out "Master", and recognized the people who came out, nodded and smiled at them.

"Ah Zhao." Qi Wanfeng called out.

The dinner was with Lizheng's family, and there were not many people at the dinner table, just Lizheng and his wife, the daughter-in-law of Lizheng's second son, and a younger brother who was about the same age as their An'an, followed his grandmother Also a cute one.During the meal, Zhao Ama also served at the table together, and the atmosphere of everyone sitting together was very harmonious.

There are three boys here, the eldest son is a promising man, he has been an official in other places, and he is outside with his wife and children. It's just that he hasn't returned home for two or three years except for correspondence.The second son has passed his childhood and failed the last provincial examination. Now he is studying in an academy in Nanyang, married and gave birth to a younger brother. His wife and child are here in Caojia Village, and his family members are not at home.

Speaking of the third son, Li Zheng sighed while talking, "The third boy doesn't study well, he runs around all day long..."

Accompanied by Cao Xiangnan, Li was drinking a small wine, which was as weak as water in the mouth, and cost him several copper coins to buy, and he was muttering in his heart.Hearing Li Zheng's chatter, he also had a general understanding of the situation at Li Zheng's house.

People in the village respected Lizheng for a reason. Lizheng was also born as a child, and the eldest son in the family was also promising. The second son was preparing to take the provincial examination next year.

After dinner, they came out of Lizheng's house. Before leaving, Qi Wanfeng stuffed two taels of silver into Zhao Amo's hands, and they left Lizheng's house and went back to their home.

"Take it." Turning around, Zhao Amo went back with two taels of silver, Lizheng's wife, Wang Lan, just waved her hand and told her to put it away.The three-day event is over, and most of the people who come to eat at their stall are men who do gravity work on the pier. Their work consumes energy and eats a lot of land, but they are not willing to eat the money in their pockets, so these people Eating is greedy for cheap and can fill your stomach.

Compared with the business in the previous three days, if there is no delivery, the business will inevitably be affected.But if it's not good to deliver things every day, Cao Xiangnan pondered this question in his heart while looking at the stall.

When he came back to his senses, he saw a child standing in front of the stall looking at his stall. Cao Xiangnan looked familiar at the child, and felt as if he had seen him somewhere.Since there is only one child in the family, he now likes to see this kind of small animal. He hooked his fingers and said, "Come here."

The child didn't move while watching him, and stood there, to be precise, his eyes were fixed on the food at their stall.

Qi Wanfeng, who finished clearing the table behind, came over, and Cao Xiangnan asked, "Wanfeng, this kid looks familiar, have you seen him before?"

"Oh, I've seen it before, the child you rescued at Old Doctor Luo that day, do you still remember?" Qi Wanfeng recognized the child at a glance, turned to ask his husband, and suddenly realized when he saw him, He thought he remembered too.

Qi Wanfeng saw the child standing here alone, so he walked over to the child and asked, "Xuanxuan, where is your mother? Why are you here alone?"

He remembered that this child was called Xuanxuan, that's what his mother called him that day.

There are people coming and going here, and a child running around here is bound to be dangerous. He has not forgotten that the child fell into the water and almost drowned that time, so he does not know how his careless Eun forgot the child again. Here, Qi Wanfeng shook his head in his heart.

"Ah Mu..." Xuanxuan glanced left and right, but shook his head again when he didn't see himself, Eh Mu.

His stomach growled, he was so hungry, and Eminem didn't know where he was.

"Are you hungry? Why don't you come to Wanfeng, can you have something to eat here? I'll wait here for you to pick you up." Qi Wanfeng took a look and didn't see that brother, and he didn't know who he was. Here you go.

He lowered his tone, and tried to reach out to hold the child's hand, but found that the child did not break free from his hand, so Qi Wanfeng pulled the child towards the table and shouted, "Xiang Nan, get the child a bowl of soup." pink."

"Okay." Cao Xiangnan had no objection when he saw that Qi Wanfeng had picked up a child from his family.

Cao Dapeng looked at the white and clean child, and asked with a smile, "Whose child is this?"

Cao Xiangnan shook his head, he didn't know, he accidentally saved the child that day, but he didn't expect to meet him again today.I neatly prepared a bowl of hor fun for my child, and spooned a few pieces of radish on it. There are a lot of radishes left today, and there are so many people rushing to get this thing as a gift. When they ask for money, they are reluctant to buy it. .

Cao Dapeng brought over the pho, and Qi Wanfeng took it for the child.

Sniffing the nose, like a puppy, holding the chopsticks in one hand, the child began to eat in big mouthfuls, as if he hadn't eaten anything in the same day.Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched the child's head, remembering that his own child was like this before, feeling a little sad, and said, "Eat slowly, don't worry."

Xuanxuan raised his eyes and glanced at the person touching his head, then lowered his head and continued to eat, acquiescing to the other person touching his head.

At this time, there were far fewer people at the pier than in the morning. Qi Wanfeng saw the brother who was looking for a child like a headless fly at a glance, and shouted, but the other party didn't hear him.Seeing that the person was about to run to the other side, he quickly got up and walked over to hold him back, facing a bewildered face, he shouted loudly, "Xuanxuan is here with me."

"Xuanxuan... Where's Xuanxuan?" Ah Ning was washing clothes by the river, and when he turned his head, he didn't see the child playing behind. He was so scared that he threw away the clothes in the bucket and went to find the child, worried that the child might be lost. He went into the water. Fortunately, someone said that he had seen his child, so he ran over in the direction pointed by others.

"Don't worry, eat at my stall." Qi Wanfeng said, pointing to their stall, where a child was sitting with his back turned to them and buried his head in eating.
