Chapter 109 Moving In



"Oh——" Cao Xiangnan woke up when a rooster crowed.

He didn't sleep much at night. He couldn't fall asleep all night. After falling asleep, he kept dreaming about his past and present lives. It felt like a dream. He was afraid. When he woke up, he was still holding Qi Wanfeng in his arms. Cao Xiangnan knew that this was not a dream, but real. He hugged the person in his arms tightly.

Now he didn't feel tired after waking up. Instead, his mind felt very excited. He had worked so hard for so long and finally he could give his wife and children a home.

After waking up, he remembered that he didn't have to get up early to grind rice and make rice noodles like in the past. Cao Xiangnan lay on the bed without moving. After a while, the person in his arms moved. He knew that the person was about to wake up. He kissed the person in his arms and said, "Sleep a little longer. We don't need to get up so early today."

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng leaned on her husband's arms, opened her eyes and looked at the children who were still sleeping. She called out with a smile, "Husband."

"Wanfeng, we can move to the new house today." Cao Xiangnan couldn't hide his happiness.

"Yes." The words that her husband said to him at the beginning were now realized step by step. Qi Wanfeng had a faint smile on his lips, and his feelings for her husband were a little more than before.

Since the first day they moved into this shabby house, they had never been able to lie in bed so relaxed and happily as they were now. They didn't have to get up early, they didn't have to worry about having enough food, they didn't have to worry about anything, they could just lean against each other and talk.

The palm of his hand was kicked by the little feet in Wanfeng's belly. Cao Xiangnan hugged the man in his arms, touched his belly with his hand, kissed his ear with his lips, and asked, "Is he good?"

"Yeah, very good." The lazy voice was full of ease and comfort. Qi Wanfeng put his hand on the back of his husband's hand, and the two fingers were interlocked.

The chickens in the yard also crowed, and Xiangzi sat up from the bed with a grumble, with a head of messy hair, sitting on the bed with a dazed look.

"Shh..." Cao Xiangnan made a gesture to his lips, "Don't disturb the younger brothers, lie down for a while, we don't need to get up so early today." It was still dark outside. He knew that this child was used to getting up with them in the morning. This time, he woke up when he heard the rooster crowing. He was touched by the child's understanding.

The lights in the room were not on yet, and it was dark.

Xiangzi searched for the source of the sound in the dark, lay down again, hugged A Di in his arms, and fell asleep again after a while.

The two looked at the child and couldn't help laughing, "He is a good child." Cao Xiangnan said.

"Yes, they are all good children." Qi Wanfeng said.

The black sky faded, revealing a fish belly white. The sun had not risen yet. It was almost time, so they got up from the bed. The two little ones were still sleeping. Qi Wanfeng covered them with a blanket and let them continue to sleep.

On the first day of moving into the house, sweet porridge had to be cooked. Cao Xiangnan washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook, and then put two fires underneath. In the yard, Xiangzi skillfully put the chickens in the chicken coop, fed the chickens and rabbits, and took hay to feed the horses. Qi Wanfeng was cleaning the feces under the chicken coop, intending to take it out to the fertilizer outside to pile it up.

"Knock knock--" There was a knock on the door outside the yard. Qi Wanfeng put down the broom in his hand, washed his hands, and went to open the door. Seeing the people outside, he smiled and said, "Why are you here so early? We just got up."

"We thought you would sleep late today, so we didn't come early." Sun Bailian brought the two children in. He also woke up very early today, and then closed his eyes and slept for a while before waking up.

"Xiangzi."

"Pee."

"There are two more sleeping, let them sleep a little longer and don't call them." Qi Wanfeng said.

"Bailian, Cao Gang, you guys are here so early." Cao Xiangnan came out of the kitchen, saw the people who came, and greeted them. "Yes, I am used to getting up early on weekdays, and I woke up early this morning." Sun Bailian replied.

They were always like this. They used to get up early, and today they woke up early when they heard the roosters crow.

Cao Gang walked over and touched the horse. Dahei, who had not been taken out for a walk early today, was still in the stable and snorted at the visitor in displeasure. Cao Gang saw that the beast was angry with him, so he curled his lips, untied the reins, took the horse out, loaded it on the carriage, and said, "I'm going to the town to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan."

"Okay, please, Brother Cao Gang, don't forget to go to the clinic to pick up Mrs. Luo and the others. Yes, if you see big fish for sale at the dock, buy a few and look for something suitable at the dock to buy some as well." He didn't have time to go to the town today, so he could only ask Cao Gang to go to the town to pick them up. Cao Xiangnan took out a wallet from his pocket and stuffed it into Cao Gang's hand, saying, "Take it, don't push it around."

Yesterday, he went to the clinic to see Doctor Luo. Doctor Luo couldn't leave, so his wife would bring the family over. Cao Xiangnan asked Cao Gang not to forget to go to the clinic to pick them up.

"Okay." The people who got on the carriage drove the carriage to the town.

Master Feng came early in the morning, and the men who lived in the bamboo house also came. Not long after, Cao Dapeng and Chen Hong, as well as Sun Ji and his father, came together. Cao Xiangnan was not polite and directed them to help with the work.

Yesterday he asked Li Banxian, who told him to set off firecrackers and push open the door of the new house when the sun rises. When the sun rose from the horizon, he took a look at the sun in the sky. It was almost time, so Cao Xiangnan lit the firecrackers in his hand.

"Crackle, crackle--" The children nearby covered their ears and shouted, their voices filled with joy and excitement.

"Wanfeng, when I say three, we'll open the door." Cao Xiangnan held Wanfeng's hand and stood in front of the door of their new house. Three children stood at his feet. They were so happy today that they were moving around.

"Ya-ya--" the door was pushed open.

"Go in, be careful and step over the threshold." Cao Xiangnan held Qi Wanfeng's hand and did not let go. The children ran in and they followed behind. The doors on both sides were opened and they walked in.

From now on, this is their home.

"Dad, Dad..."

"Mom..."

"Uncle..."

When they arrived at the new house, the little ones were shouting and jumping excitedly, and they were very happy.

Cao Xiangnan said to the people standing outside the door, "Everyone come in and sit down." He touched the children who followed him and said, "Wanfeng, take the children to see their rooms."

"Okay." Qi Wanfeng took the children away.

The living room is right after entering the door. The open windows let in sunlight from outside, making the room bright. There is a set of solid wood sofas in the living room, and a long table in the middle. Everyone who came in and saw this house was amazed. It was the first time they had seen such a beautiful house.

"Everyone please sit down, you are welcome." Cao Xiangnan said to the people who came in with a smile.

After hearing what Cao Silang said, everyone looked for a seat. Some people did not sit down, but went inside to visit Cao Silang's house.

"Here, here, take it and eat it." Sun Bailian and Chen Hong came over with snacks and fruits in their hands and put them on the table. Many children followed in the house. They gave each child one and asked the children to come and take it themselves.

The children were happiest when they had something good to eat. They were all very happy.

The cooked sweet porridge was served, and the opened lid was still emitting heat. Everyone came to take a bowl of porridge to eat. There were more people coming in one after another. Everyone in the village knew each other and they were not strangers to each other.

The house has five bedrooms and two living rooms. They live in the master bedroom on the southeast side, and there is a baby room next to it. Cao Xiangnan prepared it for the baby in his wife Wanfeng's belly. He doesn't plan to let the children live with them in the future, so they all move away. The other three rooms are just right for each of the three children.

The living room outside is used to receive guests, the small living room inside is used as a dining room, and the back door is the small kitchen where they will cook in the future. There are two bathrooms in the house, one large and one small, in case there are too many people in the family and it is inconvenient to use the bathroom.

Behind the living room are two secondary bedrooms, and there is a small balcony extending to the west. When the small door is opened, there is a balcony outside. The windows in the house were deliberately opened larger. Cao Xiangnan just didn't like the houses of this era with small windows, no light inside, and too dark. What he wanted was a bright house with bright light inside, so that people living in it would be comfortable and healthy.

"Have you chosen a room?" Cao Xiangnan entertained everyone outside, and then followed the sound to see if the children had chosen a room.

The three children were squeezed into a room. When An An saw his father coming in, he pulled his father's hand and said, "Dad, we want this room. The eldest brother and the second brother will sleep with An An."

Qi Wanfeng took the children to look at the room for a long time and said many times that each person should have a room. The three children gathered together and asked for one room. At this time, he saw his husband coming and told him about this helplessly.

"No, each person can only have one room, and they can choose the one they like." Cao Xiangnan stretched out his finger and shook it, indicating that this would not work.

Each room has a bed, and there is a small table and chair at the head of the bed, as well as a wardrobe. In the corner, there is a bookshelf and a large table, which are places for the children to read and write. There is no separate study room for each person.

Cao Xiangnan went in and solved the problem of choosing rooms for the children. An An and Xing Xing's rooms were connected, and the other larger secondary bedroom was given to Xiangzi. This was considered a deal. A group of friends came, and the younger ones took their friends to see their rooms and were very happy.
