There were many things planted outside the farm. Cao Xiangnan went out for a walk early in the morning before coming back. When he came in, he saw Fang Ziye reading the account book sent by the manager yesterday. After having nothing to do here, Cao Xiangnan wanted to come over and tell Fang Ziye that he wanted to go back to Fenshui. Seeing that he was busy, he didn't want to disturb him.

"Sit down, I'll finish this one first." Fang Ziye said without raising his head. He felt a headache when he saw these densely packed things.

"Okay." Cao Xiangnan sat down at the side. Seeing Fang Ziye frowning, he reached out and picked up a book and started reading it. After seeing Fang Ziye put down the account book in his hand, he grinned and asked, "I have a better accounting method than this one, do you want to listen to it?"

He usually used modern accounting methods to do his own accounting, and he taught Sun Ji the same method.

"Oh, tell me about it." Fang Ziye raised his eyebrows and said.

"In this way, the first page of each account book is the directory..." Cao Xiangnan explained to Fang Ziye while talking, such as what this directory is, and marking each page with page numbers. Here, a set of Arabic numerals are used, and he interspersed Arabic numerals later.

"Every number is recorded, and the page number here corresponds to the previous directory, so that when the directory is read, it will be clear at a glance." This is like these messy accounts without even any markings are much more convenient to read.

After hearing what Cao Xiangnan said, Fang Ziye suddenly became interested. The sleepiness that he had just felt when looking at the account book disappeared. He shouted, "Go get pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone were quickly brought up. Cao Xiangnan took a account book and started recording it according to the method he said, page by page. Moreover, according to his accounting method, a densely packed account book was completed in half an hour. He handed the new account book to Fang Ziye and said, "There are some discrepancies here, take a look."

If you don't look at the original one carefully, it is difficult to see any problems. Fang Ziye usually just flipped through it casually and had no interest in looking at it carefully. He just looked at it, so he didn't know if there was any problem. He probably had some idea of ​​what problems these manors had, and he was tolerant of his subordinates as long as they were not too excessive.

They had just two simple meals in the house, and the two of them stayed in the house for the whole day.

Since we are talking about the accounting method, it is inevitable to touch on modern arithmetic. The arithmetic of this era is still relatively backward. There was a moment of hesitation in his heart, which flashed by, and Cao Xiangnan still taught Fang Ziye the modern Arabic numerals and arithmetic.

In fact, he learned arithmetic from his children every day, and he taught them the same method.

Compared with the children at home, Fang Ziye learned faster, and this man's mind was more flexible than Sun Ji's. He basically explained these numbers and algorithms once, and Fang Ziye was able to remember them. He was able to apply what he had learned to other situations, and started to do calculations using the algorithms he taught, with perfect accuracy.

It was late at night and the lanterns were lit in the house. Ershun went to the kitchen to bring back the desserts and had to interrupt them, "Master, Mr. Cao, it's late. Why don't we put these aside and make them tomorrow. Master, do you think it's okay? Ershun will ask the kitchen to stew two bowls of bird's nest with rock sugar for you and Mr. Cao. Master, you and Mr. Cao will have one bowl."

Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Ziye also reacted. He asked Cao Xiangnan to teach him arithmetic all day. It happened that these things were all of interest to him. He had never heard of these things before, but this set of accounting methods and arithmetic was the best he had ever learned. He forgot the time when he heard it. "Okay, put them all away," he said.

"Xiangnan, thank you for teaching me these things. We can continue with the rest tomorrow. Is that okay with you?" Fang Ziye looked at Cao Xiangnan with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

When he was in Fenshui Town, he asked someone to find out about Cao Xiangnan. A quick check in Caojia Village would reveal that this person's birth couldn't be more ordinary. But it is undeniable that he admired Cao Xiangnan. When he broke his leg and took Qi Wanfeng and the child out of the house, he later set up a stall at the pier and found Manager Liu, which led to the following.

Since he met this person, every time Cao Xiangnan took something out for him, his eyes would always light up. There were things in his mind that he couldn't understand, but there was no need to figure them out. Cao Xiangnan was willing to teach him these things. He wouldn't ask about things that he shouldn't ask, and he wouldn't delve into them.

He just needed to know that this person could be used by him, and that these things in him were exactly what he needed.

"Zi Yu, you don't have to be so polite to me. I'm glad to be able to help you. It's getting late, so let's continue tomorrow." Cao Xiangnan smiled frankly. He didn't notice the time when he spoke, and he felt a little embarrassed.

The two drank a bowl of bird's nest, and Fang Ziye felt sleepy when he stopped thinking, and yawned continuously afterwards. Cao Xiangnan smiled when he saw the man who kept yawning. He said goodbye to Fang Ziye and followed the servant who led the way to the courtyard where he lived. He took a simple bath and went to bed.

Fang Ziye was soaking in the wooden barrel in the room. He did not let Ershun stay to serve him as usual. He didn't know if it was because of his mind, but Fang Ziye always felt that his lower abdomen was slightly bulging after taking off his clothes. He put his hands on his lower abdomen, leaned his head against the wooden barrel, and closed his eyes.

He didn't know what to do. The man probably didn't like that he had a child...

But he wanted this child! He

took a deep breath and exhaled. The man opened his eyes and his eyes became clear again.

Ershun came in to serve his master to bed. At night, someone came, covered in dust, half-knelt in front of him, and presented a letter. Fang Ziye sat on the bed. Ershun gave the letter to his master and took the man away.

He was the only one left in the room. After opening the letter and reading it, Fang Ziye put the paper on the candle and lit it. It burned.

That night, the person sleeping on the bed frowned, as if he was not sleeping well. I woke up from a dream in the middle of the night with sweat on my forehead. The chest of the person who woke up was heaving violently, and his face was full of panic.

The summer night sky was full of stars. The wheel of time turned, the night passed slowly, and the stars in the sky fell one by one. Even the crescent moon in the sky faded. The light broke through the darkness, and it was dawn.

When he woke up the next day, Cao Xiangnan remembered that he went to Fang Ziye yesterday to tell him that he was going home, but he forgot about it when they talked about accounting. He remembered that he had to continue teaching Fang Ziye arithmetic today, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go back for a while, so he had to put the matter of going home aside.

He didn't know if Wanfeng and the children were getting along well at home. The children had always been well-behaved and sensible, so he didn't have to worry about them being disobedient. The only naughty one was probably the unborn little bad boy in Wanfeng's belly, who loved to kick Wanfeng's belly. But he would never admit that he liked the little guy to greet them in this way, but he felt very distressed when he thought that Wanfeng would feel uncomfortable because of this.

Fortunately, the house has been built, the house is surrounded by a wall, and Cao Gang is asked to take care of Wanfeng and the children, so there should be nothing wrong at home.

But what Cao Xiangnan didn't expect was that his house was robbed last night.

When she went to sleep at night, she was thinking about her children who were sleeping separately. When she woke up, she went to see her children and went back to her room. Just as she was about to lie down, she heard the dogs barking outside the yard and heard people shouting. She knew that thieves had entered her house.

Now that her husband was not at home, there were thieves everywhere. She was pregnant and did not dare to go out.

"Woof woof woof..."

"Woof woof woof..."

"You damn dogs, go away, go away..." As soon as she entered the yard, she was chased by two dogs and her butt was bitten. She cried in pain.

The people outside asked their accomplices, "There's a dog inside, should we go in?"

"What should we do? Liu Erzi is still inside."

"Go in, quickly."

"But there's a dog inside."

"Go in with a stick, open the door for us."

"Hurry up."

It was so noisy now, if they were caught, they would be in trouble.

Hearing the dog's screaming outside, Qi Wanfeng went out with a ruthless heart, woke up Xiangzi, and whispered to him, "There's a thief in the house, go to the room and watch your brother, don't come out." He carried Xingxing to An'an's room and let Xiangzi go in.

Xiangzi was unwilling, he wanted to accompany Momo, "Be good, listen to me, lock the door inside, don't open the door until I come in and knock on the door, if An'an and Xingxing wake up, you can comfort them." Qi Wanfeng pushed the person in. He

turned on the light in the house. There happened to be a pot at home, Qi Wanfeng lifted the lid of a pot, ran to the door but didn't go out, knocked on it with a stick, and shouted, "There's a thief, there's a thief..."

"Bang bang bang... Someone come, there's a thief..."

"Hurry up and climb in!" The person under the corner outside wanted to push the person hanging on the wall down, and when he heard the person inside shouting that there was a thief, he was so scared that the person hanging on the wall fell out again.

The men who lived in the bamboo house opposite heard the shouting at night, and some of them woke up from their beds in shock. Several men woke up at once, got up, and rushed to Cao Silang's house. From a distance, they saw several people sneaking around the corner of the wall. After saying something to their friends, two of them chased after the thieves.

The thief who entered the yard was bitten twice by the dog, and fell to the ground with blood all over his face. He pulled open the bolt and ran out, but was caught on the spot by the men who came in from outside.

"Where are you running to, thief!" Li San kicked the thief over with one foot.

The little thief cried and begged for mercy on his knees, "Master, please spare me, I will never dare to do it again."
