The road in the village has been repaired, and some of the workers are free. It will be a great help to arrange these people. Cao Xiangnan and Cao Gang went to Li Zheng to discuss the arrangement of these people.

"Seventh Master, please ask if there is anyone in the village who wants to work at the academy. When the time comes, arrange a few capable people to go there. We need to build the current part of the house as soon as possible." It is getting colder day by day, and it is a good thing to finish that part as soon as possible.

"Okay, that's not a problem." Li Zheng replied.

Cao Xiangnan also mentioned to Li Zheng that when the academy is built, some widowed elderly people and families with only the elderly and children in the village will be arranged to spend the winter at the academy, "... I also have a few rooms at my clothing workshop, and people can live there when the time comes." He did not miss the houses at his clothing workshop, and the dormitories there are still empty and can be lived in.

If it snows heavily in winter, some dilapidated houses in the village cannot withstand a few heavy snowfalls. Every winter in the village, some accidents will be found, and people will be frozen to death or starved to death. When building the academy, Cao Xiangnan had this idea. In addition to being used for reading, the academy can also be of great use at this time. He told Li Zheng about the academy, which will be of great use in the future.

Moreover, now that he has finally replaced the old antiques in the village and replaced them with Cao Gang as the village chief, the people in charge of the village have changed. Cao Xiangnan naturally does not want the village to remain the same as before.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and arrange this matter. Xiangnan, you are a good child. Without you, our Caojia Village would not be what it is today." Li Zheng sighed. He found that at this age, he has never thought as far as this child. He did not expect that he had already thought of all these in advance.

He never thought that he would see such a child born in Caojia Village in his lifetime. This is the fortune of Caojia Village!

Originally, Caojia Village was the poorest place in the surrounding area. Now, everyone in Caojia Village is living a better and better life. Who doesn't envy Caojia Village? Hurry up and marry your son to Caojia Village. I heard that many boys in the village have engaged their sons and are just waiting to hold the wedding next year.

"No, Seventh Master, you are flattered. This is what Xiangnan should do." Hearing Li Zheng praising him, Cao Xiangnan felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he didn't think so much. He just made the best use of things. It was not as great as Li Zheng said.

Cao Gang, who was sitting on the side, didn't say much, but there was always something different in his eyes when he looked

at Cao Xiangnan. At this time, the chickens and ducks raised in the village were almost ready to be sold. Cao Xiangnan mentioned the matter of collecting chickens and ducks. He had already agreed with Yipinzhai about raising chickens and ducks in advance, and he would transport a batch of chickens and ducks there.

He later launched several chicken and duck main dishes at Yipinzhai, and the restaurant in Nanyang didn't know how many chickens and ducks were eaten every day. It happened that various ingredients were gradually reduced after autumn, and the chickens and ducks he sent over here could just make up for the shortage there. When the bacon here is done, Cao Xiangnan also wants to make a batch of sauce and send it over, but the time is a bit tight and he is afraid that he will be too late.

"Oh, someone in the village has asked me when I will collect chickens and ducks. I was just about to talk to you about it." Li Zheng was very happy when he heard that he was going to collect chickens and ducks. Someone in the village had already asked him about this.

Since the chickens and ducks were collected now, Li Zheng also asked, "Will you still raise chickens and ducks next year?"

Cao Xiangnan was also a little confused about this question. He originally planned to build a breeding farm, which would save some costs for free-range breeding. He briefly mentioned this idea to Li Zheng and said, "How about this, collect this year's first, and wait until after the New Year to discuss next year's. We can discuss it after everyone has discussed it." It just so happens

that he can also talk to Manager Liu about this matter next year. Chickens and ducks must be raised, and it depends on how to raise them.

The two stayed with Li Zheng for a while and left after they had discussed the matter.

After they left, Li Zheng also came out of the house happily to arrange the next things.

Sun Yanmiao learned from Li Zheng what Cao Jia Silang had arranged, and went back to report to his old lady. After hearing this, the old lady of the Sun family hummed and said, "We Sun family will try our best to arrange people to go there, see who can spare some manpower, and go to help build the academy."

"You are now the deputy village chief of Caojia Village, so you should work hard to benefit the people."

"Yes." Sun Yanmiao lowered his head and responded.

The old lady Sun waved his hand and let the people go. He closed his eyes and no one knew what he was thinking.

Aning had packed up his things the day before. The child was very happy beside him and helped him pack up everything. He chattered to him non-stop, and he knew that the child was happy. They were just waiting for Cao Xiangnan to come pick them up as scheduled today.

The shop was opened for business early in the morning, and Aning explained to the employee who took over how to make these things.

The dishes of this season are getting fewer and fewer. What are skewered are things like pumpkin, winter melon, mushroom, meatballs and fish balls. Now that the weather is cold, the meatballs are durable and don’t have to be made fresh every day. In addition, the people who come here like to eat noodles and rice noodles, and Aning explained how to make these things one by one.

The hot sauce is made by Cao Xiangnan and sent over. The taste is the most important. I like to eat spicy food when I come here.

Why haven’t you come yet! Xuanxuan looked outside and grumbled.

Seeing the child looking outside all morning, Aning knew that the child was waiting for Cao Xiangnan to pick him up. He coaxed the child to come in and eat lunch first. The child liked meatballs, so he made a bowl of meatballs for the child. Now the child can have whatever he likes to eat, and he doesn't have to let the child eat a bite.

After working here, he can get a lot of money every month, and he also has a place to live. There are only the two of them living in the backyard. As for Cao Xiangnan's suggestion to arrange a new place for him next year, it doesn't matter if there is no new place. He can get a lot of money every month now, and he can also take the child out to rent a place to live, so Cao Xiangnan doesn't have to take care of them all the time.

But Aning is also very happy to be able to live in Wanfeng this winter, and the happiest person is his child.

It was not until after noon that the sound of a carriage was heard.

"Uncle Xiangnan." The carriage stopped, Cao Xiangnan got off, and saw a small figure rushing towards him. He quickly reached out to catch the child, picked him up, kissed him on the face, and said, "This is too heavy."

Aning was very good-looking, and I think the child's father was also good-looking. Xuanxuan's appearance was the best among all the children he had seen. At a young age, he could tell that he would be very handsome in the future. His thick black eyebrows were not lacking in domineering.

However, there were some things that Cao Xiangnan would not ask if he shouldn't ask. He really liked this child.

In addition, Aning and Wanfeng got along well, so he was happy that Wanfeng had a good friend, otherwise he would not have brought Aning and Xuanxuan to live in his home.

"Yes, Xuanxuan has grown a lot taller and heavier now." Aning saw Cao Xiangnan holding his child, the child hugging Cao Xiangnan's neck, and the two of them kissing each other. No wonder his child has been waiting for Cao Xiangnan to pick him up all morning. Thinking of this, Aning couldn't help but laugh and said, "This child has been waiting for you all morning. I don't know how many times he has looked outside."

"Have you been waiting for uncle for a long time?" Cao Xiangnan looked at the child hugging his neck and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Xuanxuan, uncle is late."

There are many things to do at home, and he was busy until now, and only remembered to rush to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan.

Huh, hhh! Xuanxuan buried his head in his uncle's neck with an expression of "I forgive you". He thought of his father, who never hugged him like Uncle Xiangnan did. It would be nice if this was his father.

But he knew that this was An'an's father, and he couldn't call him father.

"Little guy!" Cao Xiangnan reached out and scratched the child's nose, and walked into the store with the child in his arms, and asked, "Aning, have you packed everything?"

"Yes, everything is packed." Aning said.

Cao Xiangnan said something to Sun Yanshan and Cao Dapeng, and handed the small stall over to them. After picking up Aning and the child in the car, he also got in the car, and Cao Gang drove back to their village.

The family was making bacon here, and everyone was busy.

"Aning, Xuanxuan, you are here." Qi Wanfeng was very happy to see Aning. He knew that Aning would bring the children here today, so the rooms in the house had been cleaned up long ago.

The two little ones in the house would live together, so Anan's room would be empty, otherwise there would be a room for the unborn child. For the time being, the house is enough for living, and there would be a place for guests to stay.

"I can do it myself." Seeing that Qi Wanfeng was about to take the package in his hand, Aning did not give it to him.

"Wanfeng mua." Xuanxuan called him obediently.

"Yeah, Xuanxuan has grown taller, a lot taller." After not seeing each other for a while, Qi Wanfeng found that the child had grown taller, and reached out to touch the child's head.

"Yes, he has grown taller." Aning replied.

The child now eats well and sleeps well, and no longer has to go hungry when he follows him like before. Thinking of the past, he feels guilty about himself, and he can only take better care of the child in the future.

"Xuanxuan...Xuanxuan..." When the children at home saw Xuanxuan coming, they all ran out.

"Aning, ah-ah." The children shouted one after another in crisp voices.

"Yeah, be good, be good..." Aning also likes Wanfeng's home. It is always lively and noisy, and seeing a group of children makes people happy. There are many children here, no wonder his children also like to come here.

He himself also likes the atmosphere here, which makes people feel very relaxed, and his heart has never been so happy.

"Wanfeng, take Aning in and put the things away. I'll go over there and take a look. Aning, just treat this place as your own home." After bringing the guests in, Cao Xiangnan handed them over to his husband Wanfeng to receive them. He also had to work in the kitchen.

"Okay." Qi Wanfeng nodded and saw her husband leave.

At this time, a group of children also went out to play. He told Aning about making bacon at home and took Aning into the room. The sheets and quilts in the room were all washed and dried, and they were all clean.

This was not the first time Aning came here, so he was not restrained. After putting the things away in the back, he also went to the kitchen to help cook together.

"Qingzhu, do you have something to say to me?" Cao Xiangnan couldn't help but ask when he found that Cao Qingzhu looked at him with a hesitant look.

"...So I want to ask you, are you still short of people here?"

After hearing what Cao Qingzhu said, he thought it was something else. Seeing that Cao Xiangnan was about to lower his head to the meat in the basin, he smiled and said, "Let's put it this way. The academy needs people to work. If you two brothers are willing, you can go there to work. You go back tonight and ask them to find Li Zheng. Li Zheng will arrange for him. It's not that there is no need for people here, but not everyone can come. It happens that both of you are boys, and the academy still needs people, so arrange them there.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Silang. "Cao Qingzhu was very happy when he heard this. He heard that working there would also pay thirty taels a day, so his brother and mother would no longer be angry with him.

But Cao Qingzhu didn't know that as soon as he went back and said that the academy needed work and his two brothers could go there to help build the academy, his two brothers were not happy either. After all, building a academy was physical work, and it was not as easy as cooking there. Fortunately, his mother finally spoke up, "If there is a job, do it. The day's pay is not bad. "

Then his two brothers shut up and went back to look for Li Zheng, but they still felt resentful towards their elder brother.

How come you can easily earn thirty dollars a day, while we only earn twenty dollars after working hard all day! They were still dissatisfied. This imbalance in their hearts was also caused by their elder brother's daily concessions and their mother's doting. They thought that they were boys and should have the best of everything.

Before it was almost dark, the carriages arranged by Manager Liu came to transport the goods. One carriage after another stopped at the door. The wine that had been packed in boxes was placed on the carriages. There were also some pickles and bacon in the back, which were all loaded onto the carriages one by one.

Manager Liu, who came with him, went in to see the mushrooms and vegetables in the shed and came out very happy.

"Then we'll leave first. When the mushrooms and cabbages are ready, you must remember to send them over." Shopkeeper Liu did not forget to remind him.

"Okay, I'll send them to you first." Cao Xiangnan saw Shopkeeper Liu out. To Shopkeeper Liu, he was his God of Wealth, and to him, Shopkeeper Liu was his God of Wealth.

Seeing the loaded carriages going away one after another, leaving deep wheel marks on the ground, Cao Xiangnan withdrew his gaze.

Turning back, he saw the person standing behind him looking at him and smiling at him.

Cao Xiangnan strode over, took the man's hand, and held it in his palm, "Let's go back." He said.

"Well. "Qi Wanfeng looked at the smile caught by her husband, and the smile on her mouth deepened a little, and said.
