Otherworldly Days

As usual, they got up before dawn to grind rice to make rice noodles. Cao Gang and Sun Bailian also came with their two children.Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian talked about sending their children to school.

Since Qi Wanfeng wanted to send his family's children there, Sun Bailian naturally wanted to send his two boys there too, and later he told his husband about it.Cao Gang nodded and had no objection to this, "Okay."

So the two of them decided to send a few children to school, so it was settled.

Cao Dapeng heard them say that they would send their children to school, and he listened carefully, thinking that he would go back and talk to his wife about it.

"Brother Dapeng, if you also want to send your kid to school, tell me later, I will go and take care of it together." Seeing Cao Dapeng like that, Cao Xiangnan knew that he also wanted to send the child to school together. Those who went to the school, he said, "I sent An An to study, and I didn't want my family An An to be the number one scholar in the exam. Now I just want to send him to learn a few words, have a companion to play with, and not shut up in the yard all day. "

He still doesn't know how to send the child to school, so he has to go to Lizheng to ask.Cao Xiangnan is sending the child off now because he wants to find a master to teach the child how to read, otherwise he will not have many playmates if he is locked in the yard all day. As for other things, he doesn't think so much.

"Hey, I don't understand, I'll go back and ask Ah Hong." Cao Dapeng scratched his ears and said.

When Sun Ji saw that their children were all so old and were about to send them to school, Sun Ji also felt a little envious in his eyes.

"Brother Cao Gang, I'll go with you and ask the well-driller to come and dig the well." Otherwise, their family uses so much water now, even fetching water is a very important project. Cao Xiangnan followed the carriage and went to Fenshui. Town, go to the past to ask someone to dig a well.

The sky was showing a white belly, and the sky was gradually getting brighter.

Master Feng and the workers who were leaning on the bamboo hut also got up and came to have breakfast.The breakfast in the yard has been cooked, a large pot of rice paste, steamed buns with green vegetables, hot and sour pickles, very appetizing.

The two children standing far away were looking at the yard, Goudan took brother away, "brother, let's go, let's go dig some soil eggs in the field." They usually go to the field Dig some soil eggs and pick up some wild vegetables to eat back. If you are lucky, you can even pick up a nest of wild eggs in the ground.

The two children have grown up like this. In the past, Goudan often carried his younger brother on his back, but now his younger brother doesn't need him to carry it, and can follow him.

Their father died on that mountain. Goudan looked at that mountain and never dared to take his brother there, nor did he dare to go there himself. He was afraid that if he died, there would be no one to take care of his father. He would sell his younger brother to someone else as a daughter-in-law, so he must live well.

This child is like a weed, living tenaciously.

The two children walked away hand in hand.

"An'an, didn't I tell you, don't run out alone, come back quickly." Seeing the child running to the door, Qi Wanfeng hurried over to pull the child back.An An held his E'Mu's hand, stared at the curious eyes, pointed at the two figures not far away, raised his head and said to E'Mu, "Em, there is a brother there."

Qi Wanfeng looked in the direction the child was pointing at, and sure enough, he saw two leaving figures from their backs, and he suddenly knew who those two children were.It's just that they had already left, the older one pulled the younger one, his nose was sore, he went back quickly and took two buns for An An, and said, "Go, take it to brother."

An An took two buns, and chased after them with short legs, but luckily she hadn't gone far.

"Brother, brother..."

Goudan pulled his younger brother. He seemed to hear someone barking behind him, so he stopped and looked at the kid running towards them. He was white and tender, and he was very good-looking. He was a little brother like his younger brother. Son.Holding two buns in his hand, he stuffed them into his hand, and said, "Here, here."

An An turned around and ran away after giving food, her smiling face was like a flower, very beautiful.

Until many years later, Goudan still remembered the first time he met An An, and remembered that when he was hungry, he gave him two little brothers with buns.

Qi Wanfeng, who was waiting at the door of the house, saw An An running over and running back. The two buns in his hand were gone. He touched the child's head and asked, "Have you given it to my brother?"

"Give it." An An begged for praise.

"An'an is awesome, we're going back." Qi Wanfeng praised his little An'an as he wished, and dragged the child in.

Standing there, Goudan took two buns the size of a fist, broke one and gave it to Dad, and gave the little one to eat by himself, and put the rest in his arms, "We'll keep it when we're hungry. .” He still took his younger brother to dig soil eggs.

"Okay." Xiaomao took his elder brother's hand and followed him. The scratches on his little face were already scarred. This kid is also sensible. As long as he can remember, it was elder brother who took him He seldom cries when he is hungry.

The two children walked hand in hand, farther and farther away, until their little figures were no longer visible.

"Boss, where did you come back this morning?" Seeing Boss getting off the carriage, the man he met asked with a smile.

The men who lived in the bamboo hut also woke up early when they heard the sound of horseshoes. It was so early in the day that people in the small yard opposite had already got up and worked. I heard that they were doing business in the town, and everyone made money. It's not easy.

"Go ask the master to come and dig the well." Cao Xiangnan went to the town to invite the master who drilled the well and returned. The men who built the house were already working, and the people he met said hello.He led the master over to look at the place, and he asked, "Master, look here, where is the best place to dig a well?"

Master Feng also came over. Cao Xiangnan greeted Master Feng and said, "I plan to build a well here, so that it will be more convenient for everyone to use water in the future."

"Well, that's a good thing." Feng Guang nodded.

The well-drilling master is also an experienced master. After drilling so many wells, he will also see which position is better for drilling wells. After walking around, he finally settled on a position and said, "This position is good. , let’s dig it out first.”

The master craftsman brought the little apprentices one by one, and the little apprentices started digging with tools.Master Feng recruited two people to dig together, and with everyone's expectation, they dug two feet deep quickly, and water came out below.

"This is longan. The water dug out is sweet and sweet, and the water volume is also large. Even in drought, he is not afraid of running out of water." This proves that his judgment is correct. I am more confident.

"Sure, let's dig here." Since the water is so shallow that you can see the water, Cao Xiangnan is right to know the location.

In this age of relying on the sky, if there is a drought year, the water in the well may not be enough.

Cao Xiangnan remembered that there was a year of drought in the last life, and the wells in the whole village were completely drained of water. Later, all the wells were filled with muddy water, and there were long queues queuing up to fetch water.At that time, there was a family in the village whose well water was always running, but that family did not allow people in the village to go to their house to fetch water, so even after so many years, Cao Xiangnan was particularly impressed by the drought.

The place to dig the well has been determined here, there are enough manpower, and the materials at home are ready-made. Under the command of the master, the well began to be dug like this.The water in the back is dug more and more, and the water is continuously pumped up from the well.

Master Feng also came over from time to time to take a look, and would give some pointers. There are two master masters around, and the well can't be dug quickly.

The people on the other side are digging the foundation, and the people on this side are digging the well, and they are all busy.

When Cao Gang came back, he took a look and saw that the second batch of pho was loaded on the cart, so he drove the carriage to the town to deliver the pho.Shopkeeper Liu saw the black-faced boy who came to deliver the pho, and knew that Cao Xiangnan's family was building a house, and he hadn't seen him for a few days, so he asked a question with concern.

The business in the town has always been good, Xuanxuan has been helping with the work at the stall, and now Sun Ji is slowly falling in love with this smart boy.Sun Ji only saw Xuanxuan and his mother, but not his father. Once he asked, "Where is your father, why haven't you seen your father?"

Xuanxuan pursed his lips and said nothing, his small face looked unhappy.

After that, Sun Ji never asked about Xuanxuan's father.

Ah Ning came to the stall more often, and he also noticed that this handsome boy was a very gentle person to children, and he couldn't help himself to pay attention to Ah Ning.

He has never liked anyone, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know what liking is. Sun Ji knows that he likes Aning.It's just that the other party is a brother with a child, and he doesn't dare to express his affection hastily without knowing whether the other party has a husband.

Now that Sun Bailian and Qi Wanfeng have no time to come to work at the stall, Cao Xiangnan told Aning that if he had no work to do, he would come over to help if he was free at noon when there were many people, and he would also He was not asked to work in the front, but he was asked to wash the dishes in the back, and he would pay him separately.

Ah Ning also agreed, so after he washed the clothes in the morning and sent them back, he would come here at noon to help wash the dishes and chopsticks. He gave it to Ah Ning to take it back to eat. He knew that Cao Xiangnan would usually pack some food for Ah Ning to eat back, so if there is anything left now, he would also put some "Thank you." Ah Ning tweeted I tried it a few times, and then picked it up.

The stall was closed, and the father and son went back to the small house they rented in the town.

"Mum, he likes you." Xuanxuan is a child who is more mature than ordinary children, and he pointed it out right away.

Aning just laughed, and he asked, "Do you know what liking is?"

Xuanxuan wrinkled his face into a small bun.Ah Ning usually looks like a kid, the child is wrinkled into a bun, and he can't help laughing, but the child doesn't know, he knows.
