Cao Xiangnan cooked dinner himself. There were many people eating tonight, so there was no shortage of helpers in the kitchen. He prepared seven or eight dishes and a fish head tofu soup. The children and Wanfeng loved it.

Sun Ji came to Cao Xiangnan after coming out of the old lady.

The old lady just told him some things, and also asked him to help his brothers more in the future. He knew what to do without the old lady's instructions. In the past, when his family was in trouble, everyone helped him. Now that he had the opportunity, he was also a person who knew how to repay his kindness, so he would naturally help everyone back.

The Sun clan was originally small. If everyone had not been united in recent years, it would have been difficult for them to survive in this place where the Cao clan was the clan.

"It looks like I'm in for a treat today. Hmm, Xiangnan, what delicious food did you make? I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time." As soon as he arrived, he smelled a long-lost fragrance. It was the same thing, but the taste of the food made by Yipinzhai's chef was not as good as Cao Xiangnan's. Sun Ji stretched his neck to look at the pot that was emitting fragrance.

The pot of meat was bubbling, and the smell made people salivate.

Sun Ji took a deep breath and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Nothing I can help with. There are only two dishes left. Just wait for these two dishes to be served. You haven't eaten for a long time, so just eat a little more." Cao Xiangnan said with a smile when he saw the person stretching his neck.

Cao Dapeng was helping out in the kitchen. When he saw Sun Ji coming back, he greeted him.

Cao Dapeng looked a lot fatter now. He used to eat less oily food, but now he eats more oily food, and he is visibly getting fatter. But now everyone is getting fatter to some extent, which shows that life is better now. They have food to eat, and they are not as hungry as before. They have gained some weight and are more energetic.

Cao Gang also came back from outside at this time. Although he was only a small village chief, there were still many things he needed to do personally. The old house he vacated was arranged as the village office. It temporarily became the place where they handled village affairs. Later, they spent two days to get a general understanding of Caojia Village.

According to Xiangnan's suggestion, he led people to walk around the village in the next few days, visiting every household. In fact, this was the fastest way for them to understand the current situation of the village, and he, the newly appointed village chief, also communicated and got to know the villagers directly. After two days of trials, Cao Gang also found that this method was the most effective. In

the past few years since he came back to Caojia Village, he was not very close to the people in the village. He was close to those few families, and he would usually send some prey to a few elderly people and help them with some things. He didn't have much contact with the rest of the people in the village.

"You're back." Cao Gang came back from outside and saw Sun Ji and greeted him. Sun Ji came back and heard from his father that Cao Gang had become the village chief. The two sat down and chatted for a while.

The last dish was served. Although the dishes on the table were home-cooked, they were delicious and mouth-watering.

The children were all at the table. The dining room was filled with the sound of children talking. Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian were serving the children. With food in their mouths, the children were quiet. The adults also came to the table. Cao Xiangnan opened a jar of wine. The clear wine gave off a fragrance as soon as it was poured out.

"Come, try our newly brewed rice wine." Cao Xiangnan poured the first bowl to Sun Ji. Sun Ji had never drunk new wine before. He said, "This is made from rice. It's a bit strong. Try a little, but don't drink too much."

After picking and brewing a batch of grapes, he had promised Cao Gang that he would make rice wine for them. He had some time, so he started to try making rice wine. When he was a child, there was an old man in the village who made rice wine for sale. He had seen people making rice wine when he was a child, and he still had some impression of it. However, this rice wine was much more troublesome than wine, and he tried several times before he succeeded.

That day, they boiled a pot of liquor weighing at least ten kilograms. Several people drank it all. He took two sips and felt dizzy. Cao Gang and Wang Dahu drank the most. They drank very hard and were still lying in bed the next day.

"Brother Cao Gang, Dahu, don't drink too much." Cao Xiangnan had to tell the two alcoholics.

Cao Gang nodded with a wooden face.

Wang Dahu took it with a smile. His stomach growled at the smell of the alcohol. He just wanted to drink when he found that the person next to him was looking at him with murderous intent. He quickly restrained himself and became cautious in his movements.

Liu Baishu then retracted his gaze, took the wine bowl, and nodded to Cao Xiangnan. He was not an alcoholic, but he also loved this kind of stuff.

"This wine smells really good." Sun Ji lowered his head to smell it, took a sip, hummed, and asked, "Xiangnan, is this new wine?"

He hadn't drunk it yet, and it smelled good.

"Yes, it's new wine. These haven't been sent to Yipinzhai yet." So there is no wine outside yet, so they drank it first. Cao Xiangnan said, "This wine is newly brewed today. I will send it to Yipinzhai to Liu, the shopkeeper, tomorrow. When you leave in two days, you should probably take a batch to Nanyang to Fang, the shopkeeper."

"Okay." Sun Ji nodded and took another sip. He didn't look in the mirror and didn't know that after drinking two sips of wine, his cheeks were already red.

"There are also red wine and green wine. Have you tried them? I'll take you to see them later. The wine will be out later." It's almost time for them to be out in batches, but Cao Xiangnan thinks it will taste better if they are left for a while.

"The red wine in Nanyang is not even enough to be shared, so how can it be my turn to drink it?" Sun Ji smiled when he mentioned the red wine, and mentioned the situation of the red wine in Nanyang, "... Manager Fang only gave everyone a small pot, and even those who have money to buy it didn't come to sell it."

Looking up inadvertently, Gan Weiqi looked at the pink face and curved mouth sitting opposite him, who was a smiling person at first glance. His eyes paused for a moment, and then he lowered his head to drink his wine without saying much.

"This is a good thing." Scarcity makes things valuable. When the wine here can be sold, it can be sold at a good price. Good things always leave people with some expectations. After listening to Sun Ji's words, Cao Xiangnan knew in his heart that when his wine is launched, he will definitely make a lot of money.

At the dinner table, Cao Xiangnan asked Sun Ji about some things in Nanyang. Everyone talked more when they sat down together, drinking and laughing. The children went to play after dinner. Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian also left the table after eating, leaving them alone to drink.

Later, Sun Ji's face was flushed, but his eyes were clear and he was not drunk. In fact, this man is not bad looking. His father Sun Yanshan is still elegant in his middle age, but he is a little humble due to the pressure of life.

Despite the same wind and rain, Sun Ji's skin is naturally whiter than that of ordinary men. This man looks very much like his father and the people of the Sun family. His eyebrows are straight and handsome, and he always smiles. He is a cheerful and cheerful person. After going out for a run, he looks much more radiant and restrained.

Now it was getting darker and darker. After a round of drinking, it was almost dark outside, so everyone stopped drinking. Cao Xiangnan took Sun Ji to the cellar to see the newly brewed wine, and poured a glass for him to try. "How does it taste?" he asked.

"Yeah." Sun Ji nodded, it was pretty good.

After taking Sun Ji downstairs to see the wine, Cao Xiangnan gave Sun Ji a general idea of ​​the wine. It was late now, and as for the details, they would have to wait until tomorrow. "It's late, you should go back and rest first."

"Okay." Sun Ji probably understood something and had a general idea in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't reveal any of this to outsiders.

Cao Dapeng and Sun Ji lived in the village, so they went back together.

"You guys go back and have some rest early. See you tomorrow." Cao Xiangnan escorted them to the door.

"You should also have some rest early."

"See you tomorrow."

Cao Gang and Sun Bailian also went home with their two children. Liu Baishu and Wang Dahu still lived with them and went back with them. The footsteps paused for some reason. The man in black stood there and looked at the two backs leaving. Then he followed everyone back to their general's house.

Gan Weilin glanced at his brother. If you say this guy is stupid, he is actually not big at all. His big black and white eyes seem to be able to see through everything in the world. There is an indescribable curiosity in his eyes.

After closing the door, Cao Xiangnan also went into the house. When he came back, he saw the man packing things. He hugged him from behind and buried his head in his neck and rubbed it. His head was a little hot after drinking.

The heat touched the sensitive part, it was a little itchy, Qi Wanfeng tried to avoid it, but failed. He was afraid that the children at home would see it, but he was reluctant to push this person away, so he said softly, "Don't make trouble, let me pack the things."

"Yeah, let me hold you, I'll help you pack." He was not drunk after drinking, but his mind was a little excited. The person in his arms also quietly let him hold her, opened his eyes, Cao Xiangnan came around and pecked Wanfeng on the lips, and seeing that this person was stunned, he kissed him again.

Qi Wanfeng gave her husband a look of anger, but he couldn't hide his joy in his heart.

An An, who had come running in at some point, stood at the door and covered his eyes with his hands, shouting, "Dad, Mom, An An didn't see anything."

Last time, Dad told him that if he saw him and Mom kissing, he couldn't watch. He remembered it.

Two more came running behind him, and the two brothers looked at them curiously with their similar eyes.

"..." Qi Wanfeng.

"Haha..." Cao Xiangnan couldn't help laughing. His babies were really too cute. He walked over with big strides, picked up his little An An, buried his head in his belly and tickled him, making the child giggle, "Daddy is a bad boy." "Who is the bad boy? Daddy is a bad boy, and An An is the little bad boy. Do you want to be a little bad boy?"

"No, An An is not a little bad boy..."

Seeing the father and son making a fuss, Qi Wanfeng smiled and shook his head.

The two children on the side looked at them eagerly, but Cao Xiangnan behind them did not leave the two little ones behind, and took them to check their homework.
