Chapter 111 It’s a Small World



One carriage after another left, heading back to the town.

There was not much food left on the tables where the villagers were eating, and the five large pots of rice were almost finished. There was still 70% of food left on the tables where the people from the town were eating. Cao Xiangnan asked people to collect the food and divide it up, giving it to the people who borrowed tables and chairs from the village to take back to eat. Although it was leftover food, the people who took it were still very happy.

After a full meal at the employer's house, the men returned home with their wages in their pockets.

"Dad, there is still some meat left. You can take it home and eat it." There were still some leftover dishes in the kitchen, and Cao Xiangnan asked people to take out a bowl of each kind of meat for his father and others to take back to eat.

Seeing that his father didn't move, the eldest brother quickly reached out to take it, saying, "Why do we need to bring it back home when the whole family is here to eat? Just keep it for yourself."

"Yeah, that's so embarrassing." The eldest brother Chen Li said so, but his eyes were fixed on the big bowls of meat.

The family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Today, he came to eat at his fourth uncle's place and ate a belly full of meat. He has never eaten meat to his heart's content in his life, and his stomach is still warm now. Even though he was full, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw the meat. If he took it back, they would have meat for dinner.

"There's still some, you can take it back." Cao Xiangnan said lightly.

"You and Wanfeng live a good life, we are going back." Father Cao looked at Si'er and said, then turned around to look at the people around him and said, "Let's go."

Chen Zhu wanted to say something, but he was looked at by his head and didn't dare to say anything.

A group of children were still there, staring at An An and the others. The fourth child of the second child said to An An very impolitely, "I want to live in your house. Your house is beautiful." Wang Yan hurried over and picked up the little ancestor, coaxing the child, calling the other children and taking them back together.

Chen Zhu was particularly concerned about his fourth son adopting two children. The two little ones could do nothing but eat for free. His fourth son even gave money to send the two little ones to school. With the money, why didn't he send the children from the eldest and second son's families to school? Why did he send two children who had nothing to do with the Cao family to school?

Now, looking at the two little ones, Chen Zhu glared at them fiercely, wishing to drive them away from his fourth son's home. "Fourth brother, let's go back." Although Cao Jiajing didn't want to go back in his heart, he couldn't stay because his father had called them to go together. Seeing that Am stood there without moving, he reached out and pulled her.

Cao Xiangnan replied indifferently, "Go back and study hard." As for giving money to this fifth brother to study, he did not mention it at all. Seeing the group leave, Cao Xiangnan walked over and touched An An's head. He knew that he did not like those children in the compound. Fortunately, those children did not bully his An An today.

An An hugged his father's legs and said, "An An does not want them to live in my house."

"They will not be allowed to live here." Cao Xiangnan assured his son.

"This is our home." He looked at the other two children and said.

"Take it, take it. I've reserved it for you. Take it home and you won't have to cook any more dishes tonight." Sun Bailian and Chen Hong's family had come to help since morning. Qi Wanfeng followed her husband's instructions and put the dishes left in the kitchen into two large bowls for each family. In the end, there was nothing left in the kitchen.

"Okay, let's go back then."

"Okay, thank you for coming today." "

Why are you being polite? We're all family."

Tables and chairs in the yard were moved away, and the ground was cleaned. There were many people helping, so the work was done quickly. Before the sun went down, the house was cleaned inside and out and restored to its original state.

When the work was done, everyone who came to help went home.

There was basically nothing left in the old house, so all the old things were thrown away. Everything in the house was new. A flock of chickens and rabbits were driven to the chicken coop behind the new house. There was space left in the back for the chicken coop, and there was also a stable and sheepfold. Cao Xiangnan planned to buy two ewes and take them home to raise. When Wanfeng gave birth, she would have goat milk to drink.

After the two dogs arrived at the new home, they patrolled their new territory majestically.

Everyone who had come home had left, and their yard became much quieter, with only the laughter of a few children.

Many people who came to the town knew Mrs. Luo. Many carriages had gone back to the town earlier, and Mrs. Luo and her group followed the carriages back to the town, so he didn't have to send them off.

Qi Wanfeng persuaded Aning to stay with the children for one night and go back to the town tomorrow. The family had both a place to live and a house to live in. Aning finally agreed to stay.

The children at home played together without the need for adults to supervise them. When Cao Xiangnan came to the kitchen, he saw two people in the kitchen. Seeing that they were talking and laughing and having a good time, he asked, "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

"My husband, you are here. How can we talk? We just chatted a few words. Is Ziyu still sleeping in the room?" Qi Wanfeng asked when she saw her husband coming, and the smile on her face deepened a little, and even her eyes were filled with smiles.

"Well, he hasn't woken up yet." The person in the room was still sleeping, and he hadn't woken up yet. In Cao Xiangnan's opinion, it was just carsickness, not a big deal, and he would be fine after a good sleep.

Thinking that he would be hungry after sleeping for so long, Qi Wanfeng said, "I think I should make some porridge for him to eat when he wakes up." "Okay, I'll do it. You've been busy all day and you're tired. Take Aning out to rest for a while. There's nothing else to do at home. I'll heat up the dishes and we'll have dinner together." Cao Xiangnan saw that his son Wanfeng had been busy from morning till now, so he let him go out to rest.

Qi Wanfeng didn't force it. His waist was tired after standing for so long. "Then I'll do it for you. I'll take Aning out to rest for a while." He said.

"Okay, go ahead." Cao Xiangnan was already very skilled at doing these things and could do it by himself.

"Is Xiangnan okay alone? How about I stay here and help?" Aning asked.

"No, he can do it alone. Let's go." Qi Wanfeng led them away.

In the kitchen, Cao Xiangnan cleaned the rice and put it in the pot to cook porridge. Thinking that everyone had eaten a lot of greasy food today and everyone wanted to have a light dinner, he cooked a little more and also cooked some rice.

The vegetables were cooked as soon as they were put into the pot. Two green vegetables were also prepared. Remembering that everyone liked to eat kimchi with porridge, he took two or three kimchi out of the pot and served them to everyone in the porridge later.

The sky in the west was full of clouds and the sun was about to set.

In the house, Fang Ziye also woke up. When he woke up, he realized that he had slept until now and was not in good spirits. Ershun went in and served his master. Seeing that his master did not look well, he said, "Master, why don't you ask a doctor to come and see you? You look so bad lately."

"No need. I'm a little tired lately. I'll be fine after a good sleep." Fang Ziye refused immediately.

"Knock knock--" "Zi Yu, are you ready? Come out for dinner." Qi Wanfeng knew that the people in the house had woken up and the food outside had been served, so he came over to knock on the door and called people to come out for dinner.

"Master..." Er Shun was still trying to persuade his master.

Fang Ziye gave him a look, and Er Shun immediately shut up. He stood up from the bed, walked to the door and opened it. Qi Wanfeng saw people coming out and said with a smile on his face, "The food is already served, come and have dinner."

Shopkeepers Fang and Liu were also waiting outside the door. When they saw their boss coming out, they called out.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Fang Ziye nodded and said.

Originally, he came to congratulate someone on his relocation, but he slept in someone else's house until the sun went down. He felt a little embarrassed.

"Nothing, are you feeling better?" Qi Wanfeng asked.

"Better." Fang Ziye said.

The dishes were placed on the table, and the guests at home had not arrived yet. Cao Xiangnan only allowed a few children to sit there and wait without using their chopsticks. The children were not honest when they sat there, moving around and laughing for a while, but no one asked to eat first.

"Zi Yu, you're awake, come and sit down." Cao Xiangnan smiled and said when he saw someone coming.

Fang Ziye looked at the group of children, and an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes. He sat down at Cao Xiangnan's seat, glanced at the people standing behind him, and said, "You two can sit down together."

Shopkeeper Fang and Shopkeeper Liu sat down after hearing that.

There were two more standing behind him. Fang Ziye glanced at the two who were still standing. Ershun glanced at Lao Wu, walked over and sat down, and Lao Wu followed suit and sat down.

"I brought the porridge over." Aning brought the cooked porridge over from the kitchen. He paused as he glanced at it. He rarely saw someone with a more beautiful appearance than him, and this one was not inferior to him at all. Knowing that this person was a guest at Cao Xiangnan's house, he nodded to him.

When Fang Ziye saw Aning, he felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember who she was.

"Zi Yu, let me introduce you, this is Aning." Cao Xiangnan saw Fang Ziye looking at Aning and introduced them, "Aning, this is Zi Yu, this is Fang the shopkeeper, this is Liu the shopkeeper, this is Er Shun you know, this is..."

As for the eldest brother who sat down, to be honest, he had seen him several times, but he didn't even know how to address him by name.

"Ah Wu." Lao Wu lowered his head again after saying this, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible. He was not used to everyone looking at him. "Ah Wu." Cao Xiangnan finished introducing.

Aning looked at everyone and smiled, then sat down next to the child.

A large round table was full of people. Fortunately, Cao Xiangnan had a large table made for the family. Now, even if there are many people at home, there is enough space for them to sit, and there is no need to set up another table. When he was in the compound before, he especially disliked the family meal with one table for adults and another table for children. In their family, adults and children are equal.

"Come here and treat it as your own home. Don't be polite." Cao Xiangnan said to the guests who came to his house.

"Okay." Fang Ziye nodded. It was the first time for him to sit and eat with so many people. This was a bit novel for him, but he didn't hate it. The noise of several children was noisy in his ears. He was full of curiosity about these small animals, and there was a passing love in his eyes.

He refused Ershun's offer to serve him, and just came by himself to eat whatever he wanted.

Even the youngest child, An'an, could eat by himself at the table, without his mother having to control him at all. The children were all well-behaved, and they didn't make any noise while eating. They ate their meals with big mouthfuls, which made everyone who saw them feel that they had a good appetite. Unconsciously

, Fang Ziye drank half a bowl of porridge more than usual, and still felt that he had not had enough.

Sitting opposite him was Aning. His eyes fell on the face of the child next to him, and another face flashed through his mind. Looking at Aning's pretty face again, Fang Ziye suddenly knew who this guy was, but he didn't expect him to come here.

With a little smile on his lips, Fang Ziye suddenly felt that this world was really small.
