Otherworldly Days

Bullock carts pulled things into the village. When they arrived at Caojia Village, they asked about Cao Xiangnan's residence, and then walked through the village to the end of the village, where Cao Jiashiro lived.The people in the village didn't know that Cao Jiashiro was going to build a house. They watched the bullock carts passing by, and heard that they were going to Cao Jiashiro's place, so they followed behind to watch the fun.

"Is this Cao Xiangnan's house?" The boss who led the team got off the bullock cart, knocked on the door of the yard, and asked.

Hearing the knock on the door, it was Sun Bailian who opened the door. Seeing the ox cart behind her, she quickly answered yes, turned her head and shouted inside, "Wanfeng, Xiangnan, someone brought you something to build a house." .”

At this moment, Cao Xiangnan was still busy in the kitchen. When he heard the voice, he came out. He was no stranger to seeing Boss Chen at the door. He wiped his hands and walked over. He said with a smile, "Really, I need to trouble you." Boss Chen delivered it in person, hurry up and drink a bowl of water in the room."

"No hurry, no rush, you can drink it later. I will send you some of the things first, and the rest will be delivered to you in batches in the next two days. Do you think so?" Boss Chen pointed to the ox cart behind, Said.

"OK, OK." The day after tomorrow is when you can look at a new house, and there are still two days left, and this house is not built in a day or two. Cao Xiangnan knows that the transportation in this era is different from his previous life. A large truck can be used to collect all the things at one time. It is not easy to rely on manpower and material resources here, so there is no rush for this thing in a day or two.

"Where do you put everything?" Boss Chen asked with a smile when he saw that the other party was easy to talk to.

"It's right here." Cao Xiangnan came out and pointed to an open space and said that Qi Wanfeng came out of the yard with the child. He saw people moving things and wanted to help.

As soon as Cao Xiangnan saw Qi Wanfeng coming out with the child, he knew what he meant. He raised his head and said to Qi Wanfeng, "Wanfeng, just watch the child and you don't need to come here. If we are here, you don't need to come." .”

Now he can't let Qi Wanfeng do heavy work, even though the doctor said it's nothing, but after all, his body is there, and it's not suitable for these ups and downs.

People in the village hadn't seen Qi Wanfeng for a while, the sharp-eyed old grandma saw Qi Wanfeng standing there, and by his figure, she knew that he was pregnant again, and turned her head to talk to the person next to her. When the person was talking, his eyes glanced at the elder brother standing there, and it seemed that the words were also talking about him.

Not long ago, people in the village saw their family of three being kicked out of the Cao family compound. Not long ago, even the house was ready to be built, and it looked like a big tile house built with blue bricks. Only rich people in the village Several of the families lived in green brick and large tiled houses, so now people who watch Qi Wanfeng are envious. They say that Qi Wanfeng is a blessed person, saying that he married Cao Silang It's a good marriage.

Qi Wanfeng didn't know that others were talking about him, Fu Lang told him not to help, so he didn't go.He looked down at the child at his feet, touched his head, and said, "An'an, we're going back."

An An looked up at E'Mu, said "um", and followed E'Mu back.

The two boys in the back were also pulled in by their mother, the gate of the yard was opened but not closed as usual, and the children were playing in the yard and did not run out.

Boss Chen instructed him to follow the work that came with him to move the things on the car, and Cao Xiangnan also went to help with the work.Follow along to watch the excitement, and those with good intentions will come out to help move things.

There were many people working, and the things were moved down quickly, stacked neatly on the open space, and piled up all over the floor.

Seeing that everyone was there, Cao Xiangnan smiled and said to everyone, "Xiangnan will build a new house here the day after tomorrow, and he will cook a big pot of sweet porridge that morning, and invite the villagers to come over for a bowl of porridge when they are free."

"Okay, okay, definitely come." Someone responded.

"Definitely come."

On the first morning of building a new house in Caojia Village, most people would cook a big pot of sweet porridge and invite the neighbors in the village to drink porridge, so Cao Xiangnan took advantage of the fact that there would be people watching the fun, so he just said something by the way. Please come over here.

Cao Xiangnan told the men who came to help that they must come over when the time came, and they all agreed happily.

The wheels rolled, and the ox carts went back along the way they came, and the spectators also dispersed.

That day, people in Caojia Village were talking about Cao Jiashiro's plan to build a big tile house with green bricks. Now people in the village talk about Cao Jiashiro, saying that he is capable.Naturally, someone brought up the matter of Cao Jiasilang being kicked out by the Cao family compound while lying on the hospital bed, but now that those people in the Cao family compound are mentioned, they all look disgusted.

"I don't know if that old Chen Zhu regretted kicking him out back then." Someone laughed.

At that time, many people stood at the gate of the Cao family compound and watched them split up. Naturally, they, outsiders, knew what Chen Zhu did at that time, and they were disappointed in the eyes of outsiders, let alone Cao Shiro is gone.

Being in the same village, it's not that they don't know what kind of person Chen Zhu is.At the beginning when the Cao family was separated, only Cao Silang was separated outside. Who would have thought that Cao Silang was capable, and he could build a big tile house with green bricks after only a short time.

"What? My fourth uncle is going to build a house?" As soon as Wang Yan of Cao's second family went out, he heard that his fourth uncle was going to build a new house. The one he built was still a big brick house, so he went back home immediately. Tell him about it.

"This unfilial son, he didn't come back to say when he was going to build a house, and he didn't think of me as a mother." When Chen Zhu heard that Shiro was going to build a house, no one came to say anything, and threw it away in anger. I took off the soles of Zaina's shoes and went to Shiro's house.

"I already have the money to build a house, so I don't want to send some money to my mother, this unfilial son!" Thinking of Si'er's money to buy horses and build a house, he didn't even give him a penny. Chen Zhu hated him as an aunt.

It's just that when the footsteps that went out were about to step out of the door, Chen Zhu took it back again.

When Wang Yan heard that his mother mentioned money, her face was overjoyed.He remembered that when his fourth uncle used to come back with three pennies of money every month, although the family could not eat meat every meal, at least every three to five days, they could have a meal of meat. Never had a meal of meat again.

He still wanted to follow his mother to his fourth uncle's place, but he didn't expect that his mother would not leave again. He asked suspiciously, "Em? Aren't you going to your fourth uncle's place? Why don't you go?"

Chen Zhu hesitated in his heart, remembering that he hadn't talked to him for several days, he took back his steps, walked back to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, put on airs, and said, "No, I won't go, I'm waiting for that unfilial son to invite me, my mother, over."

Yes, that's it, even if you come to ask him, you still have to think about whether to go or not. I'm waiting for you to come and beg me to go, and I won't go.

Seeing that his mother was not going, Wang Yan gritted her teeth for a while, and did not dare to urge his mother to go there. Seeing that his mother was still daydreaming there, he hated in his heart that his fourth uncle would come to invite them In the past, the sun came out from the west.

No, he wants to talk to his elder brother about it.

Chen Li, who was doing needlework in another room, heard Wang Yan say that his fourth uncle was going to build a new house, and the needle in her hand almost pricked her finger. He asked, "Mum knows about this." ?"

"I just talked to Eminem." Wang Yan learned what Eminem said with his elder brother, knowing that elder brother will have a solution here.

As soon as Chen Li heard that his mother hadn't gone, she suppressed the idea of ​​going to his mother's place, sat down again, picked up her needle and thread, and started working again, and responded lightly, "Em said wait for fourth uncle." Come here to invite, then we will wait for Fourth Uncle to come and invite you."

"This..." You clearly knew that this was impossible, but Wang Yan didn't dare to say it, so she could only hold it in her heart.

When Father Cao and his elder brother Cao Fugui came back in the evening, they heard people at home talking about Shiro's plan to build a new house. Father Cao smoked a pipe silently and did not speak.The people in the family didn't dare to talk about it any more. Dinner was ready, and the whole family sat together drinking clear soup with little water and eating rice paste, and no one dared to speak at the dinner table.

"Wuuuuu... Mu, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat..." The fourth son of the second child's family couldn't grab the food, and cried because he couldn't eat enough.In the past, he was a delicate person, and it was common for him to cry for meat. In the past, when he cried for meat, he ate it the next day. Now he has cried many times, but he still hasn’t had it yet. Meat.

It's just that today's cries were heard, and everyone's expressions became so different.

The second brother, Wang Yan, hastily hugged the fourth son, but was reluctant to hit her, so she patted her lightly twice, pretending to be annoyed and said, "If you're greedy, it's good to have something to eat, but also to eat meat. "He felt distressed again. You see, the fourth uncle's house is about to build a new house, and his son doesn't even want to eat a piece of meat.

In his heart, he couldn't help complaining that Ah Mu drove the fourth uncle out at the beginning, and that the fourth uncle ignored their family. Now that they are living a good life, they completely ignore them.

"Divide the food in the pot into several smaller ones." Father Cao put down the bowl and chopsticks and said.

In fact, there was nothing to eat in the pot, only a little wild vegetables and water left, the eldest brother, Chen Li, heard that he divided half of the remaining vegetables to the small table, and the children grabbed it again.Wang Yan hugged Si'er and coaxed her in front of her, and fed the food in the bowl to the child.

After dinner, Father Cao sat in the yard smoking a cigarette, his face darkened.

Chen Zhu, who originally wanted to scold his daughter-in-law for not working, saw the state of the head of the family, and now he dared not swear at others, so he could only stare at the disobedient ones.Wang Yan put down her clothes, cleared the table and went to wash the dishes.

Even the little ones in the family didn't dare to be presumptuous as usual, they only dared to sit together and laugh quietly.
