The next day, everything was as usual. He woke up to the sound of roosters crowing. He had to get up early to grind rice to make rice noodles. The stalls in the town had to open for business today. When he woke up, the person in his arms also woke up. Cao Xiangnan asked the person to sleep a little longer, so he got up first.
The person lying on the bed was covered with a quilt, but he was still naked underneath. His face was a little red hiding in the quilt. Cao Xiangnan put on his clothes and saw that the person was still hiding in the quilt. He walked over and pulled down the quilt a little, revealing the face of the person inside, and he smiled. Their eyes met, and he couldn't help but peck Qi Wanfeng on the lips, full of joy, and said, "You sleep a little longer and get up later, okay?"
Qi Wanfeng responded softly, and even his ears were red.
Only after her husband left did she dare to stick her head out and look at the closed door with a happy smile on her face.
The stone mill in the old house was moved to the new house. The wheel of the stone mill turned and rice paste flowed out. In the morning, everyone came and started to grind rice for steamed rice noodles. Sun Bailian came and didn't see Wanfeng, so she asked, "Xiangnan, where is Wanfeng?"
"He was tired all day yesterday, so I asked him to sleep a little longer." Cao Xiangnan couldn't hide his good mood, and the arc at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't control his mood even if he wanted to, he was just very happy.
Fortunately, everyone was busy, and no one noticed that Cao Xiangnan was different. It was nothing strange to see him smile and in a good mood. He moved into the new house yesterday and lived in a big house. Naturally, he was happy.
"Oh, his belly is getting bigger and bigger now. Anyway, it's enough to have us here. Let him sleep a little longer in the morning in the future, and he doesn't need to get up so early." Sun Bailian didn't think about it in a wrong way. Thinking that Qi Wanfeng's belly was getting bigger and bigger, he was the most sleepy at this time, so she thought about letting him sleep a little longer.
"That's right, I'll talk to him later." Cao Xiangnan thought about it and nodded. At worst, if there are not enough people here, he can just ask someone to help. Let Wanfeng sleep a little longer in the morning in the future.
Cao Gang glanced at Cao Xiangnan, and when he met Cao Gang's eyes, Cao Xiangnan smiled at him.
"..." Cao Gang continued to look paralyzed.
The kitchen is quite far from the residence, so they can make rice noodles here in the morning without worrying about disturbing the people sleeping there. They are busy here.
When Aning got up, he went to the children's room and took a look. Seeing that the children were still sleeping, he quietly walked out. The house was quiet. He walked to the kitchen outside and saw everyone busy.
"Aning, you are up too. Did you sleep well last night?" Sun Bailian saw the person coming and greeted him with a smile.
"Very well." Aning also walked over to help. It was the first time he saw how rice noodles were made. He thought it was magical that rice noodles were made like this. "Do you need me to do anything?" he asked.
Cao Xiangnan was making noodles for the Malatang stall. He called Aning over to make noodles and taught him how to make noodles. He rolled the noodles one by one. He was thinking that he would ask someone to make a handmade noodle machine one day. This would make it much easier to make noodles in the future. Aning was a good student and learned it very quickly. Cao Xiangnan then handed it over to Aning.
"Manager Fang, Awu, you guys are up too." Seeing the newcomers, Cao Xiangnan was not afraid that the recipe for making rice noodles would be learned by others. He generously took Manager Fang and Awu inside to have a look.
The big meat buns in the steamer were cooked. Cao Xiangnan took one for each of them to eat first. Manager Fang ate it without hesitation and said it was delicious while eating.
They didn't notice that Ah Wu was missing, and he stayed in the kitchen to eat several big meat buns and drink a big bowl of water. Cao Gang took a look at the tall and strong Ah Wu, and rudely ordered him to help. Ah Wu stayed in the kitchen to work. When it was light in the morning, the carriage set off for the town.
There were guests at home, so Cao Xiangnan didn't go to the town early in the morning. There was still a batch of rice noodles to be cooked at home, so Ah Ning also stayed to help. Several children were asleep in the children's room, so they would go back to the town with the children later when they woke up.
Qi Wanfeng fell asleep later and did not wake up until dawn. He found that it was already so bright outside. He was a little anxious for a moment, and the movement of getting up was a little too big. He froze as soon as he moved, and scared himself into a sweat. He reached out and touched his stomach, then got up carefully, put on his clothes, tidied himself, got up, opened the door and went out.
He went to the next room, pushed open the door and saw Xiangzi, who had probably just woken up and was sitting on the bed. The other children were still sleeping.
Xiangzi looked towards the door, saw Wanfeng Momo, and fell off the bed. Seeing the panicked look of the child running over, Qi Wanfeng touched his head and said, "It's okay to sleep a little late, Wanfeng Momo just woke up too."
He took the child into the bathroom to wash his face. Water was conveniently available at home now, and water flowed out by twisting the handle. Qi Wanfeng took the child to wash his face, tied up his hair, and then took the child to the kitchen.
Ershun also got up and waited at the door, waiting for his master to get up so that he could serve him.
The children in the room started running one by one, and the ones behind them woke up one by one. As soon as they woke up, the room began to make a commotion, and a bed was almost torn apart. One covered his belly and said he was going to pee, and the next one ran after him, and the ones behind him all ran after him.
Fang Ziye woke up to the noise of the children. He slept very well this time, better than ever before, so he was not angry even if he was woken up. Instead, he was in a good mood and in a good mood. He lay on the bed and listened to the children talking outside, with his hands under the quilt on his abdomen. He didn't know if the little guys who came out of here in the future would be as noisy as the group of children outside. He had a faint smile on his lips.
"Knock knock--" When he heard the sound from the room, Ershun knocked on the door and got a response from his master before going in to serve him.
In the kitchen, the oil in the pot was boiling, and the flour was put in, making a sizzling sound. It happened that the family had saved the oil from frying meat yesterday, so Cao Xiangnan prepared to fry dough sticks for everyone today. Thinking of the bowl of soybean milk and a dough stick when he was a child in that life, he missed the taste very much.
The beans were soaked and ground into soybean milk, and then cooked in the pot.
Qi Wanfeng, who was inside, heard the sound of a group of children outside and hurried out. One child is obedient, but a group of children together may not be obedient. They are about to make a scene. When he saw the children chasing each other, he shouted, "Don't run, walk properly."
The child from Sun Bailian's family was the most naughty, and with the addition of Xuanxuan, the two children behind him started to make trouble.
When An An heard his mother's voice, he ran towards her with his short legs, "Mom, Mom..." He climbed up holding his mother's legs, just like climbing a tree. Qi Wanfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly reached out and pulled her up, picked her up, and patted her butt.
"Xuan Xuan."
An Ning pulled the child over, and saw that his little face turned red because of his mischief. He touched the child's back and sweated. Xuan Xuan saw that his mother pursed her lips, and quickly became obedient, letting his mother hold him.
"Mom, it smells good." An An's nose moved, and he pointed to the kitchen and said.
"You little greedy cat, your father is preparing delicious food for everyone, go wash your face and sit at the dining table, you can have breakfast soon." Qi Wanfeng brushed the child's nose, put the child down, and led the group of children back to the house.
Aning also brought Xuanxuan with him, and reminded the children not to make noise along the way.
Two large plates of bread were served, freshly baked fried dough sticks, soy milk, cooked millet porridge, and side dishes with sauce. In addition, knowing that someone in the family likes to eat kimchi, Cao Xiangnan picked up two servings of kimchi.
Fang Ziye came out of the house, and the breakfast outside was already set. He sat down and ate breakfast with everyone, "What is this?" He picked up a long piece of food and smelled it. It smelled very fragrant, so he asked.
"This is fried dough sticks, made by putting flour in oil and frying it. Try a bite." Cao Xiangnan served him a bowl of soy milk and said, "This is soy milk ground from beans. Try it and see if you like it."
"Yeah, it's good." Fang Ziye took a sip. He had never eaten anything like this before, but he surprisingly found it tasted good. He prepared porridge for the children. Those who wanted soy milk were given soy milk. There were big meat buns on the table. A sip of it was tender and fresh meat, and the taste was particularly fragrant. A large table of people sat together. Several children ate honestly, biting the big meat buns in big mouthfuls, and the adults didn't need to take care of them.
After breakfast, the children had to go to school. They carried their schoolbags, and the older ones took the younger ones. The group of children went to school by themselves, and they didn't need the adults to send them. Cao Xiangnan went to the town to have his clothes sewn, and he also asked the embroiderer to make a few schoolbags for him. They were just right for each of the children, to carry their things to school.
The carriage that went to the town came back to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan to go to the town together.
Xuanxuan wanted to go with them, and Aning coaxed the child who suddenly got angry and refused to listen. He was so angry that he wanted to beat his kid. Later, Cao Xiangnan came and coaxed him.
"This is a schoolbag prepared for Xuanxuan, just like everyone else. Only obedient children get gifts, but disobedient children don't. So, Xuanxuan, do you want to be a good child or a bad child?" Cao Xiangnan made an extra schoolbag when he asked someone to make it for Xuanxuan, and now it's just the right time to take it out to coax the child.
He patiently coaxed this naughty child into happiness, and he put on a new schoolbag like everyone else, and got on the carriage and went back to the town with Am.
