Chapter 197 Early Autumn



The early autumn morning is a little chilly, so you need to put on an extra layer of clothes when you get up in the morning.

The sunrise in the east is a little late, and the light shining through the clouds illuminates the earth. The color of the mountain has changed from lush green to light yellow, and everything around is telling the quiet passage of time.

There are two empty houses in the family that are used as warehouses. The clothes are moved to the garment workshop, and these two houses are finally empty. Cao Xiangnan told everyone about his idea of ​​growing mushrooms in the house in winter. The shed has not been built yet, and the mushrooms must be picked from the mountains as soon as possible.

In addition, he also plans to grow greenhouse vegetables. There is a vacant land at the back, so he can build it there.

He doesn't know whether it will succeed. He has only seen other people grow it in books and on TV before, but you always have to try it before you know whether it will succeed. But it is certain that bean sprouts can be grown in winter. This is very easy to grow, as long as there is a place to grow them.

Now that only his family members come in and out of the house, and outsiders will not enter the back of his yard, Cao Xiangnan is very relieved to work in his own home, and he assigns the work one by one. Now that there are more people, the division of labor and cooperation is faster.

After a busy morning, the sky was bright and the sun came out.

"Morning, did you sleep well?" Seeing the person who woke up coming over, Cao Xiangnan strode over, and seeing the light blue-gray under Wanfeng's eyelids, he felt a little self-blame in his heart, and said with a smile, "I was just thinking about whether I should wake you up for breakfast, and you woke up by yourself."

"Yeah, very good." Qi Wanfeng looked at his husband with a gentle smile on his face. He slept very well this time, and it was the best sleep he had had in a long time.

"You had cramps last night. Has it been like this recently? Let's go to Doctor Luo later and let him take a look at you." Seeing Qi Wanfeng's expression, Cao Xiangnan knew that he might have had cramps at night recently.

"No, no need..." Qi Wanfeng wanted to shake his head subconsciously. He didn't think he was so fragile. He didn't feel like this when he was worried about An An before. He remembered that he had a vague pain in his feet last night, and then a pair of familiar hands touched him, and the pain went away, so he fell asleep.

"Be good, we'll go take a look, it's no trouble, we'll be back after the check." Cao Xiangnan said without giving him room for refusal.

"Okay." Knowing that he couldn't refuse, Qi Wanfeng had to agree.

The breakfast prepared in the kitchen was served on the table. Cao Xiangnan had spent a lot of effort to prepare a rich breakfast today. He steamed small soup buns, fried potato cakes, and baked bread. He also boiled a boiled egg for each person every day. He also did not forget to steam some solid steamed buns for the ones who had a big appetite, and cooked millet porridge and a few side dishes.

"Everyone, come and eat."

"Dad."

"Yeah, good boy."

"Uncle Xiangnan."

The little ones all sat at the table. Xiangzi would take good care of his two younger brothers, and Kangkang did not leave out his Jingbao. The children in the family basically did not need adults to take care of them. They ate their own food as soon as they came to the table.

Cao Xiangnan even squeezed some goat milk and put it in front of Qi Wanfeng. "Drink it obediently. It's good for your body." Seeing that the man was reluctant to drink after smelling the smell, he bent down and said in his ear.

Qi Wanfeng's face flushed, and he uttered a low "hmm". He held his breath and drank a large bowl of goat's milk. Fortunately, everyone was eating and no one was watching him, otherwise he would be embarrassed if they found out that there was goat's milk in his bowl.

Cao Xiangnan was afraid that this man had leg cramps due to calcium deficiency. Drinking a bowl of goat's milk every morning and evening would be beneficial and harmless. Even the children did not have this honor, and it was because the children did not like to drink pure goat's milk unless he made it into milk porridge or something else. The goats bought earlier had little milk. Fortunately, the pregnant ewe would give birth soon, and by then the baby in Wanfeng's belly would be born, and there would be goat's milk to drink.

Should he buy another milk-producing ewe?

Thinking of the sheep, Cao Xiangnan remembered that he wanted to do breeding in Caojia Village. Professional breeding always has a larger output than free-range breeding. By raising chickens, ducks and sheep, their factory can also supply raw materials to the ground in the future.

They talked about business at the dinner table. After a meal, Cao Xiangnan hurried to Zhenshui Town. As for the others, they went to do what they should do.

Cao Dazhong came with the children, and Cao Xiangnan told him that Wu Yue might not come back until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. In fact, it was Wu Yue and Sun Hongmei who suggested staying there and coming back later. After going there, they realized that there were still so many things they didn’t understand, so they wanted to stay there and come back after a while.

It just so happened that the shopkeeper Jiang said that he would arrange for the two Ah-ma to come together. It was almost the festival, and he couldn't let them come without spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with their family. He had to let his people stay there and wait until the time came to come back together. But of course he couldn't tell Cao Dazhong about this.

Cao Xiangnan explained that he was still busy over there and couldn't leave for the time being. "How about I arrange a boat to take you and Doudou to Nanyang?"

"No, no need. The child and I will just wait for Ah-yue to come back at home. It's not good to have no one to take care of us at home. I'd better stay at home with the child." Cao Dazhong didn't have the nerve to ask Cao Silang to take him and the child to Nanyang just for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.

It wasn't just Wu Yue from his family who went to Nanyang. People from other families also went there and couldn't come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If he and his children went to Nanyang to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his wife, he was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction among other families, which would only make Silang feel awkward.

"How about this, you bring Doudou to my house for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll take a look and make some arrangements. Then everyone can come to my house for dinner." Cao Xiangnan knew that everyone in Cao Gang's family would eat at his house, and they would worship the moon at night and have a barbecue. He turned around and told Cao Gang and the others about this idea, "You all can come to my house for dinner, and we'll have a barbecue at night."

"Okay." Cao Gang had no problem.

The others had even less objections. Wang Dahu and Gan Weilin were both very happy to have delicious food.

Gan Weilin had eaten barbecue before, so he knew how good it tasted. He told Wang Dahu about his experience eating barbecue in Nanyang, "It tasted really good. You must have never eaten barbecue that good."

Isn't it just barbecue? I used to eat it often. What's so good about it? Wang Dahu looked at Gan Weilin suspiciously, and didn't believe it was that good.

"Dazhong, what do you think?" Cao Xiangnan turned around and asked Cao Dazhong.

"Oh, okay." Cao Dazhong, a dull man, only knew how to work. When he saw Cao Silang smiling at him, he felt a little embarrassed. He could actually bring his children home, but seeing that the children liked Cao Silang's place and his mother was not at home, he would bring the children here to eat. The children would be happier, and he thought it was a good idea.

"We'll go to the town first. If there's anything you need to do here, just deal with it yourself and I'll talk to you when I get back." The two boys from the Sun family also came early, and Cao Xiangnan simply took them to the town to work. There's been a lot of work recently, and what's lacking is manpower.

The two carriages went out of the door together, and Cao Gang went with them.

Cao Gang was asked to take Sun Bing and Sun Sheng to Yipinzhai first, and hand them over to the shopkeeper Liu. He was told that both of them knew how to make moon cakes, so he asked them to help make moon cakes first. "I'll go over later." Cao Xiangnan said.

"Okay." Cao Gang nodded, and drove away in the carriage.

Cao Xiangnan first took Wanfeng to Doctor Luo to ask Doctor Luo to check on Wanfeng.

At this time, there were many people in the clinic in front, and there were many patients. Cao Xiangnan was also worried that others would pass on their illness to Wanfeng, so he took him through the back door. Anyway, they had gone through the back door more than once or twice. On weekdays, Cao Xiangnan did not forget Doctor Luo when he had something good. After a few visits, they became close friends.

For the sake of his wife and children, he did not feel embarrassed at all to do these things.

"Knock knock..."

The door opened, but unexpectedly, the one who opened the door for them was a strange man.

"Who are you?" Luo Rongheng's eyes swept across the bulging belly of the boy who was being held on his arm, and then looked at the boy who brought him here, and asked.

"Brother Luo?" Cao Xiangnan hesitated for only a second, thinking that it should be Luo Rongheng, the son of Dr. Luo, and he was sure of this person's identity.

Luo Rongheng did not know the two people outside the door. He thought that his father had mentioned him to this person. Since his father mentioned him and he went through the back door, he must be an acquaintance. He just nodded, "Come in, are you here to see my father?" he asked.

"Yes, that's right. I'm Cao Xiangnan, and this is my wife Qi Wanfeng. I often hear Dr. Luo mention you, brother, and today I'm lucky enough to meet you." Cao Xiangnan was chatting with an acquaintance, and he didn't feel awkward as if he was meeting a stranger for the first time.

It was lucky, Luo Rongheng was out all year round, and he hadn't been home many times. He just happened to meet Luo Rongheng today. Luo Rongheng must have rushed back before the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate the festival with his family.

In this way, Luo Rongheng is also a filial son.

"Oh, you are the Cao boy my father mentioned. I drank the wine you gave my father, and it was very good." Every man likes to drink, and Luo Rongheng is no exception. When he heard the surname Cao, he must be the Cao boy his father mentioned.

He had heard about this kid Cao from his father at least ten times in the two days since he came back. He had never eaten the meat, but he had tasted the wine. If his father hadn't stopped him, he would have almost finished drinking the half jar of wine. He didn't expect to meet him now.

"Brother Luo likes to drink rice wine. I'll bring two jars to Brother Luo later." Cao Xiangnan naturally didn't think that Luo Rongheng liked wine. It must be the rice wine he sent to Doctor Luo.

"Haha... Thank you very much." Luo Rongheng laughed when he heard that the kid was so considerate.

In an instant, the relationship between the two people became closer.
