After coming out of Yipinzhai, Cao Xiangnan went back to the shop to help out, as he felt that there was little use for him here now. After noon, when fewer people were eating in the shop, he calculated that there were not many people eating in Yipinzhai at the moment, so he said something to Sun Ji and went back to Yipinzhai. When he arrived at Yipinzhai
, he went straight into the kitchen and made snacks with Chef Zhao. The two of them were now very familiar with each other, chatting while cooking in the kitchen.
Chef Zhao was a talkative person, and his hobbies were eating and making delicious food. He had been a chef for most of his life, but today he had to admit that his cooking skills were not as good as this kid, but he knew his shortcomings, so he followed this kid to learn.
He knew that some families would not pass on their ancestral recipes to outsiders, and he was able to learn these now only because of Yipinzhai. But he knew that after learning these things, he could only work in Yipinzhai for the rest of his life. Even so, he was willing to be a chef in Yipinzhai for the rest of his life. After leaving Yipinzhai, he might not be able to find a better employer than this one.
"Is that guy downstairs?" Fang Ziye, who was in the room, put down the book in his hand, and asked when he remembered that Cao Xiangnan said he would come over in the afternoon.
"Yes, he's been here a long time ago, and he's in the kitchen." Ershun just took a stroll downstairs and ate some freshly baked snacks, which tasted delicious. If he hadn't had to go upstairs to serve his master, he would have wanted to go downstairs and wait to continue eating.
Thinking of the food, Ershun was about to drool. He swallowed his saliva.
"Look at you, you're such a glutton." Fang Ziye looked at his little slave and knew that this kid pretended to be mature all day, but in fact he was also a greedy kid. He said, "Go and tell him to stay here for dinner. As for the dishes, let him decide."
He suddenly felt that his chefs were not as good as this kid. He was looking forward to the kid making some fresh food for him.
"Okay, I'll go right away." When Ershun heard that his master sent him down, he thought of going to the kitchen to eat something delicious, and he ran faster than a rabbit.
"Come back." Fang Ziye thought that the other party would go home later, so he shouted, "Tell him that I will send him back later."
"Okay, master, do you have any other instructions?" Ershun saw that his master was happy, and he also had a playful smile on his face and asked.
"No, go." Fang Ziye waved his hand and picked up the book on the table with a faint smile on his lips, but he didn't feel like reading later, so he put it aside. He yawned with his hands covering his mouth, and he wanted to sleep again.
Cao Xiangnan, who was in the kitchen, heard that person said that he would stay here for dinner and he had to cook this dinner, so he had to agree. It seemed that he was used as a chef. He was thinking about what to cook. Knowing that this person was the servant of Fang Ziye, Cao Xiangnan brought a freshly baked wheat to Ershun, and asked Ershun what his master liked to eat.
"The master said it, you decide." Ershun took it and said with a smile.
It turned out that he took the food and leaked some information to me. Cao Xiangnan wanted to snatch the food back, "If you don't tell me, I won't give you food."
"How can you do this!" Ershun puffed his cheeks and told the other party what his master liked to eat on weekdays. At the end, he didn't forget to add that his master didn't have much appetite recently, so he just let him take care of it.
He took the food and went to eat. When he was full, he went upstairs to find his master, only to find that his master had fallen asleep again. After covering his master with a quilt, Ershun quietly came out.
Cao Xiangnan glanced at the sky outside and knew that the shop was about to close. He asked someone to go over and tell them that he had something else to do in Yipinzhai and that a carriage would take him back later. He asked them to go back after they had sold everything.
In the afternoon, the food in the shop was almost sold out, but Cao Xiangnan had not returned yet. Then the waiter from Yipinzhai came over and said that he had something else to do and would go back later, so they should pack up the stall and leave first. When the food was sold out, they knew that Cao Xiangnan was busy with something in Yipinzhai and that a carriage would take him back later, so they didn't have to worry, so they packed up the stall and left first.
"Where's Xiangnan? Why didn't he come back with you?" Qi Wanfeng, who was at home, saw that they had all gone back and didn't see his husband, so he asked.
"Xiangnan is still in Yipinzhai. He sent someone to tell us that he was busy there and that a carriage would take him back later. Don't worry, Wanfeng, he will be back later." Sun Ji told Qi Wanfeng that Cao Xiangnan had someone bring him back and told him not to worry.
"Okay." Qi Wanfeng understood after hearing that. His husband had told him about Yipinzhai yesterday, so he was not worried.
It was not until it was almost dark that Cao Xiangnan returned to Caojia Village.
Cao Xiangnan thanked the person who sent him back, and the other party did not stay and drove the carriage back. Qi Wanfeng opened the door and saw her husband coming back. She smiled and said, "Husband, you're back."
"Yeah, I stayed at Yipinzhai for a while." Cao Xiangnan smiled and took Qi Wanfeng's hand and went back home. After entering the door, he turned around and closed the door to the yard. A few little ones came over and he touched a few little radishes.
"Dad, Dad." An An rubbed his father for a hug. Today, seeing that his father didn't come back so late, his mother kept looking towards the door. He knew that his mother was waiting for his father. In the past, when his mother didn't come back, he also liked to stare at the door, "Dad, why did you come back so late?"
"Does An An miss Dad?" Cao Xiangnan bent down, picked up the child, kissed him on the cheek, and asked, "Are you well-behaved at home?"
"Yes, An An is very well-behaved." An An responded, looking at his mother and said, "An An misses Dad, Mom misses Dad too, and my older brother and second brother miss Dad too. We all miss Dad. You must come back earlier in the future."
"Okay." Listening to the child's words, his heart softened. Cao Xiangnan knew that he was too busy recently and had no time to accompany the child.
There are two more children in the family now. Cao Xiangnan doesn’t say that he loves any one in particular, but in his heart he definitely loves his own children a little more. After Xiangzi and Xingxing came to his house, they gradually smiled. The two children can stutter now, and they are not as hungry as before.
Xingxing’s health is not very good, and he was taken to see Dr. Luo twice. He has been taking medicine to regulate his body. I think it’s because he suffered too much damage earlier. He needs to be recuperated slowly in the future. Fortunately, the child is still young, and he will be as lively as ordinary children in a year or so.
After the last incident, their grandmother Cao Chunhua didn’t dare to go to the school to look for the children, let alone come to his place to make trouble. If the other party didn't know how to live or die, Cao Xiangnan had plenty of ways to punish that family. Fortunately, they were honest and didn't jump around, so he saved a little effort. He
went out early this morning and just came back now. When he heard Qi Wanfeng tell him that the furniture had been delivered, Cao Xiangnan hummed and said, "I'll go and take a look tomorrow. I'll go to the town with Brother Cao Gang later tomorrow."
But when he was in the town before, he would go to the shop from time to time to see how the furniture was made, and would communicate with the master. If there were any problems, he would also raise them. So now, even though he hasn't seen the furniture delivered yet, Cao Xiangnan is not worried about any problems. The furniture has been delivered to the new house, just wait until tomorrow morning to see it.
At the beginning, he didn't have that much money, and he was waiting for a house to live in, so at the beginning, he thought about building a house first to have a house to live in, so that Wanfeng and the children would not have no place to live with him. Now the house is built, although it can't be said to be magnificent, it's enough to have a house to live in.
Besides, wealth is not exposed. Even if he has money, Cao Xiangnan will not act like he is very rich. But now that he has money in hand, it is more convenient to do whatever he wants. He has several plans in his mind.
It was dark outside, and he returned to the house. Several children were still awake and making noises in bed, and Cao Xiangnan let them do as they pleased. The oil lamp in the house was lit, and he and Wanfeng discussed the matter of moving into the house. Cao Xiangnan planned to cook a meal and set up a few tables, inviting everyone to eat, so he would go and say hello to everyone tomorrow when he had some time, and invite everyone to come over.
Those who help with the work here must be invited, and the head of the household must also be invited, and those who are close to him on weekdays must be invited. As for some people in the village who he doesn't interact with much, Cao Xiangnan doesn't plan to invite them.
"Husband, should we invite people from the compound?" Qi Wanfeng thought about it and asked.
Cao Xiangnan was a little silent. To be honest, he had a bad time with his father and mother last time. They never came to his house when he was building a house, so it was a question whether to invite them or not. After thinking about it, he said, "I will go to the field tomorrow to call my father and brother. As for whether they come or not, it is their business."
As for Cao Laoer, if you invite such a person to your home, you still have to worry about whether your family will lose something. Since the last time Cao Laoer came to his house to steal something, he took people to beat him up, and he seemed to be much more honest. It may also be that there are too many people coming in and out of his house when he is building a house, so he has no chance to do it.
"Okay." Qi Wanfeng was also very conflicted in his heart. He didn't want to associate with those people in the compound. Last time his mother came with a few children, she beat him up. To him, those people in the compound were a nightmare, and he would rather not see them.
As if he knew what Qi Wanfeng was thinking, Cao Xiangnan reached out and held his hand, saying, "If you don't like them, we won't invite them."
"No, no." Qi Wanfeng shook his head and said.
"Wanfeng, don't worry, I'm here, no one can bully you in the future, not even my father, mother and brothers. To me, you and the children are the most important, and I won't allow anyone to bully you." Cao Xiangnan looked into Qi Wanfeng's eyes and promised.
Qi Wanfeng was very moved when he heard what her husband said. Seeing the light flashing in her husband's eyes, he said "hmm", and felt a sense of reliance in his heart, and it seemed that everything became less frightening.
If there weren't several light bulbs next to it, Cao Xiangnan would have wanted to kiss his Wanfeng. He immediately felt that he should move to the new house quickly and get rid of the light bulbs.
"Yes, tell Cao Gang and Sun Ji tomorrow and close the shop for a day the day after tomorrow so that everyone can come back and have a day off. And Aning and Xuanxuan, they haven't been to our place yet, so bring them home together that day. I see Aning always misses you, and he is very happy to see you." Cao Xiangnan also hopes that Wanfeng will have more friends. Aning is a good one.
"Yeah, okay." Qi Wanfeng also smiled and said.
