The sound of horse hooves came back. Sun Ji went to the town to pick up his father and Cao Dapeng. Chen Hong had already brought two children over. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, the two children ran out, knowing that their father had returned.

"Dad, Dad..." From a distance, the two children shouted.

"Hey." Cao Dapeng got out of the car and saw the two boys running towards him. He squatted down, held one in each hand, picked up the two boys, kissed them on the left and the right, and said, "Dad's darlings."

The silly look of the eldest and second son was very similar to his father. He also imitated his father and kissed his father. The smart second son kissed his father twice.

Chen Hong came out and saw her husband who had returned. She saw that he was holding a boy in one hand. The three of them looked so happy and harmonious that she couldn't help but smile. Cao Dapeng approached and saw his wife, and he grinned foolishly.

"Silly husband!" Chen Hong glared at her husband, but she was still afraid that he would be tired, so she reached out to take the second boy.

The silly husband thought that his wife was complimenting him, and his silly smile didn't change. The boy in his arms looked at his father and smiled too. The two, big and small, were exactly carved from the same mold, even the arc of their eyebrows was very similar.

Dinner was already being cooked in the kitchen. At this time of year, the days were getting late and the days were getting fast, so dinner would be cooked earlier. In addition, since everyone was invited to dinner today, they started preparing even earlier. Cao Xiangnan did not prepare a rich dish, just meat and vegetables. For everyone, this was already a rich dish.

Meat was stewing in the pot. Cao Xiangnan was the chef in the kitchen. Seeing that the meat had been stewed for so long, he added seasoning, scooped up a little soup with a spoon to taste it, and added a little more salt.

Seeing Cao Dapeng coming in, he smiled and said, "Dapeng, you're back."

"Hey, Aji went to pick me and Sun Bo up." Cao Dapeng rolled up his sleeves and started to help as soon as he came in.

Sun Ji followed Cao Dapeng in. Gan Weiqi smiled and nodded when he saw the man coming in. His eyes lingered on the man's face for a moment, and he remembered that the last time he saw the man was when he went to Nanyang. They hadn't seen each other for a while.

The two looked at each other, at this pair of familiar yet somewhat strange eyes. An unknown emotion flashed through their hearts. After saying hello, Sun Ji walked in.

Everyone had dinner at Cao Xiangnan's place. Sun Ji went to pick up his grandfather and grandmother. Cao Dapeng's family of four also came, and then their two families came together. The weather was cold, and it was not suitable to set up a table outside to eat. Fortunately, the restaurant was big enough, and the tables could be joined together to sit down.

The cooked dishes were also divided into two portions and served on the table. There were meat and vegetables. There were many people eating at home, so there were many things to cook. The food was not expensive, but it was good enough to fill the stomach. Adults and children, several family members sat down together.

"Come on, everyone, have a drink." Cao Xiangnan opened a jar of wine and poured half a bowl for each person.

Even Grandpa Sun happily asked for a small half bowl, but he hadn't drunk wine for many years, and this wine was really fragrant. The old grandmother next to him looked at the wine in the old man's bowl, thought about it and let the old man drink a sip.

"Drink!"

"Drink it!"

Several large bowls clinked together, and Wang Dahu drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Everyone gathered around the table to eat meat and drink wine. The children's mouths were full of oil. In this season, there were fresh and tender vegetables. The brothers all liked to have a bite of vegetables and were not very interested in the meat in the pot.

It was getting late that day. After finally coming back, Cao Xiangnan asked Cao Dapeng and Sun Yanshan not to rush back to the town tonight and asked them to go there tomorrow morning. Sun Ji just told him that he and his father had discussed the matter of the shop. His father meant that he should stay in the shop, and he could go back and forth between the town and the village, and he could also replace his father.

So Cao Dapeng and Sun Yanshan did not rush back to the town, and ate dinner slowly.

"We'll set up two tables at home, so remember to come and have dinner." Cao Dapeng was going to move into his new house in two days, so he casually invited everyone to come over for dinner.

"We're all family, so I won't call everyone one by one. We've prepared your portions, so everyone must come." Even though she said that, Chen Hong would still come over and call everyone one by one.

"Okay, okay, okay, we'll go together. If anyone needs help, just call us and we'll come over," Qi Wanfeng said.

They finished their dinner before the sun went down and it got dark.

"Let's go back." Cao Dapeng and Chen Hong took their two children, and Sun Ji and his father took their grandfather and grandmother. They drove a horse-drawn carriage into the village so that they could go to the town tomorrow morning.

Cao Gang and Sun Lian took their children, and Liu Baishu, Wang Dahu and others also went back to their place.

Cao Xiangnan sent everyone out, and several children followed him and left with the guests he had sent out. Several children were reluctant to leave, probably because they hadn't played enough. Jingbao was led by his mother and went back home, looking back every few steps.

The sky outside was getting darker and darker. The people who came to the house left, and the children also wanted to take a bath.

Later, Wanfeng often felt back pain, and he had no strength to squat and stand up with his big belly. Cao Xiangnan was afraid that he would fall down accidentally, so he didn't let him do some housework.

Originally, he wanted to take over the job of bathing the children. It was not a big deal for the two boys. An'an and Xingxing were both little boys. An'an was his biological son, but Xingxing was adopted. The two children were still young, so he thought it was no big deal, but Wanfeng didn't allow him to bathe the two little ones.

Fortunately, An Ning was here, and An Ning could help the two little ones bathe, so he took over the job of fetching water for the two boys and bathing them. Xiangzi can take care of himself completely in life, but Xuanxuan, who was spoiled by his mother, is still groping for many things and needs help.

It was not until later when he saw the child taking off his clothes that Cao Xiangnan realized that there was actually a difference between a boy and a boy. A boy has a red mole under his belly button. A boy with a red mole represents a boy and can get pregnant and have a child.

In the past, every time he and his wife did things, it was dark. There was no way she would hold a lamp to look after them inch by inch. Cao Xiangnan had never noticed this. One day, he said, "Why do both children have a red mole here?"

At that time, he thought it was amazing. How could both children have a red mole under their belly buttons? This

made Aning laugh and his wife blushed.

Later, after returning to the room and closing the door to teach him a lesson, Cao Xiangnan realized that his wife also had a red mole, which represented the identity of a boy and could get pregnant and have a child. So some boys are as tall as men, and people can distinguish boys from men. This is the reason.

Cao Xiangnan could only scratch his nose after making such an oolong. He couldn't say that he came from another world. It gets dark quickly in this season. After the children finished taking a bath, it was dark outside.

After taking a bath, the children went back to the bed in the room to play. After playing for a while, they would fall asleep by themselves. Cao Xiangnan would prepare the bath water for Wanfeng, wait for people to take a bath, help people back to the room, and bring him hot goat milk to drink.

When he came out of the bath, he went to the children's room to see that several children were asleep. He tucked the corners of the quilt for the children before coming out. When he returned to his room, everyone on the bed had fallen asleep. After this, he saw that this person's spirit was getting worse and worse. On weekdays, he would wait for him to come back before going to bed, but now he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

He had asked Dr. Luo before, and Dr. Luo also said that this was a problem that Wanfeng had not taken good care of when he gave birth to his first child. It was not a big problem, but he had to take good care of his body for this child, and his body would gradually get better in the future, so there was no need to worry too much.

Seeing the person sleeping with his eyes closed, Cao Xiangnan reached out his hand, followed his eyebrows, gently touched them with his fingers, followed his straight nose, and landed on his lips, his eyes deepened.

But in the end he did nothing, he lowered his head and kissed him, blew out the oil lamp on the table, and got on the bed.

The sleeping person followed the heat source and came over. Cao Xiangnan reached out and hugged the person in his arms. The quilt was warm, and the person in his arms was like a heater. Pregnant people have a higher body temperature, and it is just right to hug them in winter.

Two days later, Cao Dapeng moved into his new house. He had many things to do there, so Cao Xiangnan asked Cao Dapeng to stay at home to take care of things here. He and Sun Ji went to the town to look after the shop. He would take care of the food.

The door of the stall was removed and the door was opened for business.

The weather was getting colder and colder. The breath was white. The big pot on the door was boiling soup, emitting hot steam. It was cold, and most people who came to eat would eat a bowl of soup noodles. In the morning, some people would come to buy two kilograms of clean rice noodles to take back.

"The weather is getting colder and colder." Cao Xiangnan rushed to the town early in the morning. When the wind blew, he felt one word: cold.

"Yes, it's going to snow soon." Sun Ji looked up and said.

"Hey, young boss, I haven't seen you in the shop for a long time." Now the customers who come to the shop to eat are all regular customers, and everyone knows each other. The visitor saw that Dapeng was not in the shop today, but he saw the boss he hadn't seen for a long time.

Cao Xiangnan greeted the visitor familiarly and asked, "What would you like to eat, Chen the shopkeeper?"

"A bowl of rice noodles with pork offal." The visitor said.

"Okay, please sit down, I'll bring it right away." A bowl of rice noodles was quickly put down in his hand, and Sun Ji brought it over.

After moving from the stall to the new shop, Cao Xiangnan came less and less. The shop was handed over to Cao Dapeng and Sun Yanshan, and he was busy with other things. Sun Ji later went to Nanyang and was busy with other things, so the two of them hadn't been to the shop for a long time.

The two stood in front of the stall and talked, with a bit of emotion in their hearts.

Now the business of the shop has slowed down a lot, and the business of the whole town has slowed down a lot, but they are in the food business, no matter how slow it is, there will always be people coming to eat. After noon, the prepared food was sold out. Knowing that we have to leave early today, we prepared less food, closed the door at the back, and went back to the village, and hurried back to Cao Dapeng's place to have a drink.
