Otherworldly Days

Chapter 211 Is This Going Over the Wall?

The current of the river on the return trip was turbulent, and the boats were not sailing easily. In addition, it was getting late in this season, and by the time the boats arrived in Fenshui, it was already dark.At this time, it's not easy to take people back home, so Cao Xiangnan decided to leave Zheng Shubo's family of three to stay with shopkeeper Liu for one night, and then make arrangements tomorrow.

On the night road, the carriage headed back to Caojia Village.

When I got home, the doors to the yard were closed, and everyone inside might have fallen asleep.So he is going over the wall?Cao Xiangnan stood at the door of the house, silently weighing the possibility of crawling over in his heart, it seemed that it was not too great.

"Do you want to go in?" Gan Weiqi asked.

Is not this nonsensical? !He should borrow a ladder from Cao Gang, Cao Xiangnan nodded silently, thinking silently in his heart.

Gan Weiqi turned over neatly, and the people went in. The two dogs didn't growl when they saw acquaintances jumping over the wall, and wagged their tails as if seeing relatives.At this moment, the door was opened from the inside, and two dogs jumped out from the inside, wagging their tails wildly at their master, "Xiao Hei Da Bai, I really love you two for nothing." Cao Xiangnan touched the heads of two dogs, and the two dogs His tail was wagging too darkly, and he realized that he had really raised the two dogs into stupid things that could only act cute.

The opposite door was opened from the inside. Cao Gang stood at the door and said, "Xiang Nan, Wei Qi and Wei Lin, why did you come back at this time?"

"When we came back, the river was too fast, so it was late." Cao Xiangnan glanced at the lights in the room and it was dark. He thought that the people in the room had already fallen asleep. Seeing Cao Gang walking towards him, he said .

At this moment, Qi Wanfeng was still lying on the bed and did not fall asleep. When he heard the sound outside, he propped himself up on the bed and got up carefully, and lit the oil lamp in the house.When Cao Xiangnan saw the light turned on, he knew that the people inside had woken up, so he shouted, "Night Breeze, it's me."

Fu Lang?Come back so late, put a piece of clothing on his body, Qi Wanfeng opened the door of the house, went out with a lantern in his hand, and saw that the door of the yard had been opened, it was really his husband who came back.

"Why did you come back so late?" Qi Wanfeng carried the lantern and walked outside.

"It's cold at night, why did you come out?" Cao Xiangnan said while holding the hand of the person who came out.

Qi Wanfeng shook his head, meaning it was nothing.

Ma Ma went into the stable at the back, Gan Weiqi and Gan Weilin also went back to Cao Gang, Cao Xiangnan sent them out, closed the door, turned around and saw the person waiting for him at the door, striding over.

Seeing that the man didn't know how to wear an extra layer of clothes when he got up at night, the clothes on his body were thin, holding the man's cool hand, Cao Xiangnan hurriedly led the man into the house, turned around and closed the door, and asked, "The children are asleep?"

"En." Qi Wanfeng nodded.

It's just that they didn't know that a door was slightly opened just now, and a small head stuck out. After listening to the sound outside, it retracted again, closed the door gently, and climbed into bed to sleep.

"You wait for me here, I'll come after I take a shower." Cao Xiangnan pulled the man onto the bed, lowered his head and pecked the man's lips, and said.

"I'll go and boil some hot water for you." Qi Wanfeng pretended to get up.

"It's okay, I'll just take a cold shower."

"No."

In the end, Cao Xiangnan went to the kitchen to boil some hot water for himself, poured it out, poured water into the pot to keep warm, soaked in warm water and took a shower.When he went back, the person on the bed was still waiting for him and didn't sleep.

"Why didn't you sleep?" Cao Xiangnan got into bed, with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to shave the man's straight nose, and asked.

It was cold now, and the sheets on the bed were replaced with quilts.Fortunately, the quilts at home are all prepared, no matter how cold it is, I am not afraid of not being covered with quilts.

The person who looked at him was full of eyes and didn't speak.

"When I'm not at home, is the baby in my belly good?" After lying down, Cao Xiangnan took the man into his arms, touched the man's belly, and asked.

"Hmm. Be good." Qi Wanfeng said.

This night, I lay in Fulang's familiar embrace, without a dream.Waking up in a daze at night, a pair of familiar hands comforted him, and soon fell asleep again. This night's sleep was extremely solid.

When I woke up, it was the second day.

Fu Lang, who was sleeping with his arms around him last night, is no longer there, so he reached out to touch the sunken place, and Qi Wanfeng knew that Fu Lang had really returned.At this moment, the genius outside was slightly bright, and he propped himself up and got up.

After waking up in the morning and working in the kitchen for half a day, he was sweating all over. Cao Xiangnan also learned about the recent situation at home from Liu Baishu, and knew that the family was well taken care of during his absence.To show his thanks, he prepared a hearty breakfast for everyone.

"What..."

When the sheep in the sheepfold saw people coming, they bleated.

When he came back from the back, Cao Xiangnan brought a bowl of milk in his hand. Unexpectedly, he saw the person who got up. He strode towards Qi Wanfeng and asked, "Why do you wake up so early? Why don't you sleep more?" meeting?"

Qi Wanfeng shook his head, but didn't say anything because Fu Lang was gone, and he didn't want to sleep anymore.

"I just squeezed the goat's milk. I'll boil it first, and I'll boil it for you later." Cao Xiangnan saw that Qi Wanfeng didn't want to go back to sleep, so he led people to the kitchen, where it was burning all morning. The fire was warming up, so he took people to this side.

At this moment, even the two little ones in the room hadn't gotten up yet, but Xiangzi got up early in the morning to help with work.This child is eating well now, and his height has gradually increased, and he is half a head taller than when he came to them.

"Wanfengyao." Seeing Wanfengyyao coming, Xiangzi came over and called out.

"Well, good boy." Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched the child's head, knowing that the child had been up to work early.

Being praised so much, Xiangzi showed a shy smile on his face.

Seeing Qi Wanfeng, Liu Baishu nodded to him and said good morning.

"Morning." Now that they are getting familiar with each other gradually, Qi Wanfeng no longer feels restrained towards these people in the family.When Fu Lang was not at home, the family members helped him and did all the work for him, and he was never given a chance to do it.

"Let's eat something fresh this morning. I'll make sliced ​​noodles and meat buns for everyone. I stew bone and radish soup in the pot. I'll eat it later. I also make three fresh dumplings. I'm sure you like it." Cao Xiangnan warmed up the milk, put it in Qi Wanfeng's hands, and said, "Come on, drink this first, and I'll make Roujiamo for you."

Now the village basically sells pork every day. The pig offal and pork he bought early in the morning came back, just for breakfast. Qi Wanfeng took the milk and smelled it. He didn’t like it very much, so he drank it in one sip. up.

"Are the ewes in the sheepfold about to give birth?" Cao Xiangnan asked.

"En." Qi Wanfeng nodded and replied.

"I forgot to tell you something. I got back more than [-] sheep." Cao just came out from the inside and heard what they said.

The implication is, don’t worry, this goat milk is available, and there is also winter mutton.

"Brother, you are very powerful." Cao Xiangnan gave a thumbs up and smiled.

Um?Cao Gang didn't quite understand this, but it didn't prevent him from realizing what it meant to be praised.

The arrogant General Cao went inside again with a blank expression on his face.

The sky outside was gradually getting brighter, and Sun Bailian came over with the second boy. When he came, he brought a small bucket of goat milk.As soon as he came, he joined the ranks of work, and the two younger ones at home also woke up.

Seeing that the children had woken up, Cao Xiangnan boiled all the goat milk that Sun Bailian brought, and saved some to bake small biscuits later.The children didn't like to drink this not-so-good-tasting thing. The children in his family drank it obediently even if they didn't like it.

"Look, my brothers are all drunk. If you don't drink, you won't grow taller." Sun Bailian pointed to the brothers who had drunk.

"If you don't drink it, I'll give it to Kangkang. Look, Kangkang is so high on you."

"No, I want to be taller than my brother."

The prepared breakfast was served on the table, one by one full boiled three delicacies dumplings, the children also eat eggs every day, the delicious meat buns, the big bowl of sliced ​​noodles for adults, and the small bowl of sliced ​​noodles for children.

"Well, this is delicious." Wang Dahu took a bite of this Roujiamo and fell in love with it.

Men like to eat meat, and the taste of this Roujiamo is really good.

"Eat more if it tastes good." Every cook is happy that others like to eat the food he cooks. Naturally, Cao Xiangnan also likes that his cooking is welcomed by everyone, and he does not forget to take care of the people around him.

Seeing that Qi Wanfeng didn't like to eat Roujiamo, Cao Xiangnan took half of the leftover Roujiamo from Qi Wanfeng's hands.

Qi Wanfeng prefers to eat dumplings with a lighter taste. It tastes very fresh when dipped in sauce. He ate several dumplings in a row.Today's appetite is better than that of the few days when Fu Lang was not at home. Maybe these things are made by Fu Lang, and he thinks they are very delicious.

Cao Xiangnan told everyone about inviting a scholar from Nanyang to be a gentleman, and the other party came from a family of three.It will be fast if the academy can be completed before winter, at least it will take one or two more months.

"Am I thinking about not letting them live in Yipinzhai, or going to the town to rent a house for them to live in first?" Because the identity of the other party is the invited husband, it's not good to neglect, but he will give it to him as soon as he comes. Too good treatment is not very good, Cao Xiangnan was thinking about this issue in his heart.

"Fu Lang, if you want to invite them to live at home, it's okay, just let An An and Xing Xing sleep together." Qi Wanfeng said.

Cao Xiangnan shook his head and said, "Don't invite them to the house."

Because considering that the family members were not very familiar with the other party's family, Cao Xiangnan naturally put Qi Wanfeng first.

"If you want to rent a house in the town, you need to buy a lot of things, but if you live there for a month or two, it doesn't need to be too troublesome." Sun Bailian thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, you can discuss it with shopkeeper Liu. , to see if there is a better place in his place, otherwise it would be fine to live in Yipinzhai."

"Well, okay, I'll ask shopkeeper Liu later." Cao Xiangnan nodded and said.
