"My name is Zhao Yicheng. Thank you for saving my life." Zhao Yicheng put down the broom in his hand, walked towards Cao Xiangnan, and stated his identity directly. When

Cao Xiangnan saw such a strange face and heard his next words, he matched the person standing in front of him with the person lying half-dead that day. He smiled and said, "It's not a matter of saving my life or not. It's just a small favor."

Seeing Dabaoer who was following Zhao Yicheng and looking up at him eagerly, he reached out and touched the child's head and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank your Dabaoer. It was your Dabaoer who saved your father. You must take good care of Dabaoer in the future. Dabaoer is still young and needs you as a father."

"I will." Zhao Yicheng looked down at his child, knowing that he owed a lot to his Dabaoer.

"There's no need to call me young master. We're all peasants, so just call me Xiangnan. There's no need to be so fussy about it." Cao Xiangnan glanced at Zhao Yicheng, a tall and thin man with a sickly pale face that looked frail. He said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Seeing the smile on the other's face, Zhao Yicheng said, "Xiangnan, you can just call me Yicheng."

The two men got to know each other formally. Cao Xiangnan asked Zhao Yicheng about his health with concern. When he heard that Zhao Yicheng said he was fine, he nodded and said, "You're just fine. It's still cold outside. It's okay for you to stay in the house and not go out. You can come out and help with the work when you feel better. Don't fall ill again." "

Okay, I'll pay attention. I won't fall ill, don't worry." Everyone was outside cleaning up the fallen snow, and it was not good for him to stay in the house alone. Zhao Yicheng knew that the other party was concerned about him, and he said with a smile.

After entering the house and drinking a cup of tea, Cao Xiangnan looked at Aunt Liu. Knowing that Huang Guihua took good care of Aunt Liu, he asked about everyone's situation here. They had arranged everything here in advance, so there was no big problem for everyone to live here.

Before he came, the snow here had almost been swept, and everyone's enthusiasm for work was much better than he imagined. But when he turned around, he also heard that everyone was working outside and several guys from other villages were still sleeping in the house, so he chuckled.

When he went out, Zhao Yicheng said that he was in good health and proposed to move to the big house with the children to live with everyone. After all, it is not good for a man like him to live under the same roof with a widow, lest it ruin the other person's reputation. It is not good to live here after you get better.

"Okay, go back to Cao Jian and ask him to arrange a place for you. But you have to make sure that you are in good health, so as not to pass the disease to others. If you are not well, it is okay to live here for a while." Cao Xiangnan naturally knew what Zhao Yicheng was thinking, and he had a good impression of Zhao Yicheng in his heart. In

this kind of weather, everyone lives in a small space, the doors and windows are closed, and the air in the house is not circulating. If someone gets sick and catches a cold, it is easy to spread the disease to others. The people here don't understand these things, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand, so we still have to pay attention to what we should prevent. I have to tell Cao Jian about this later. If anyone is sick, they will be arranged to stay somewhere else.

I originally thought that I would stay in the village or the academy for a long time, but in just half a day, the roads were basically cleared, and there were no major problems at the academy. Cao Gui led people to clear the road at the other end of the town, but he has not returned yet.

"...If someone is sick, go and see a doctor in time. But if it snows outside, you should try your best to deal with it according to the methods I mentioned before. As long as it is not an emergency related to human life, you should not rush out," he turned around and mentioned a few things that need attention to Cao Xiangnan and Cao Jian.

In this kind of weather, I am afraid that the wild animals in the mountains will run down to look for food when they are hungry. It is no joke to meet wolves on the road. Two-legged ones are not as fast as four-legged ones. They will be eaten into pieces in a minute without leaving anything.

Cao Jian listened carefully. They also understood some things. He replied, "Well, I will pay attention."

The road has been cleared. If it does not snow tomorrow, the academy will continue to have classes. At that time, people from the village can also come. No wonder everyone is so active in clearing snow. Only Cao Gui is left to lead people to clear the road to the town. Cao Xiangnan plans to go to the town tomorrow to take a look.

At noon, there is nothing to do at the academy, and everyone here invites them to come down for lunch. After politely declining everyone's invitation to stay for lunch, the group returned to the village. Cao Xiangnan, Cao Gang and the others walked back to their homes.

"Husband, how come you're back so soon?" Qi Wanfeng was very happy to see her husband return home so soon.

"Uncle Xiangnan..." "Dad..." "Everyone in the village came out to sweep the roads, and everyone in the academy got up early to sweep the snow, so it was a little faster." Cao Xiangnan responded to the younger ones, took off his hat and coat, and stood in front of the fireplace to warm himself.

It was much colder outside than in this room, and his face was almost frozen after being out for so long.

"That's good." Hearing that the road was swept, it was no wonder that her husband came back so early. Seeing her husband sitting there warming himself by the fire, Qi Wanfeng knew that her husband was cold after being outside for so long, and he felt sorry for her.

"We just had lunch, and Bai Lian just brought the two children back. You didn't have lunch, did you? The porridge and steamed buns are still hot on the stove. Go eat something." He was afraid that her husband would be hungry if he came back late, so he heated up the porridge on the stove. Fortunately, her husband came back so soon, and it was just right to eat now.

If they were more selfish, they could completely ignore what was happening outside, and stay warm in the house in the middle of winter, and live their comfortable lives. But if they were selfish, they wouldn't have more and more things like they do today.

"I'll bring the food here. It's warmer here." Aning stood up and said.

Although Cao Xiangnan said he could eat in the back, Aning still went to bring the lunch. The front room had a stove, which was much warmer than the dining room in the back. Anyway, everything was set out, so Cao Xiangnan sat here and ate.

Now the kids were going to take a nap in the house, so Aning and Wanfeng took the four kids to sleep.

"!" Cao Xiangnan.

Suddenly, he saw a small creature appear in front of him. Its snow-white fur was as white as snow, and its big tail stood up. Its bright eyes stared at him, or to be more precise, at the half-eaten steamed bun in his hand. Both eyes were filled with the word "hungry".

So this was a greedy little fox?

But when did such a little creature run into his house? Cao Xiangnan wanted to scare him. Fortunately, it didn't suddenly run out and scare Wanfeng or the children.

The little creature stared at the half-eaten steamed bun in his hand with its bright black eyes. "Do you want to eat?" Cao Xiangnan swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of the porridge, handed the half-eaten bun in his hand over, and asked.

Don't foxes eat meat? Why are you a vegetarian?

Seeing the little fox chewing on the half steamed bun he had left, Cao Xiangnan sat there with his arms around his chest, staring at the pretty little fox. This little thing wasn't afraid of him catching it and cooking it, its fur was quite nice. In the past, little things like this had to be seen in the zoo, but now the little foxes had come to his house.

"Huh?" Qi Wanfeng made beds for the two little ones and let them sleep in the house. When he walked out of the living room, he saw a white little fox squatting on the table, eating something. When he saw him coming out, it raised its head and glanced at him warily, as if judging whether he would hurt him. He paused.

"A little guest came to our house." Cao Xiangnan turned around and saw the person standing there who didn't come over. He stood up from the chair, walked towards the person standing there, naturally stretched out his hands to hold his waist, and asked, "Are the little ones asleep?"

"They all went to bed." Qi Wanfeng looked at the pretty little thing and asked, "How did it get here?"

"I don't know. Just now I wanted to eat something, and it ran out by itself. I guess I don't know when it ran into our house." They are close to the mountain here, maybe it was snowing outside and the little thing had nothing to eat, so it ran to their house to ask for food. It was not afraid of people and was quite brave. Cao Xiangnan turned around to take a look, finished the steamed bun in his hand, and looked at his little thing again. "Come, sit here first. I think he hasn't eaten enough. I'll go get him some more." He helped Qi Wanfeng sit on a chair farther away. Cao Xiangnan opened a box, took out a piece of cake from it, put it on the table, and asked, "Do you want to eat this?"

The little thing squatting on the table was not afraid of him. When he put it over, it grabbed it with two paws and ate it.

Seeing the person sitting there yawning with his hand, Cao Xiangnan knew that he was sleepy, "Are you sleepy?" he asked.

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng smiled and nodded. Maybe she was relieved to see her husband coming back, and she felt sleepy.

"Let's go take a nap and ignore this little thing." His wife was more important. Cao Xiangnan didn't have the heart to care about the fox that had come home. He took something with some water and put it on the table, letting the fox eat its own food. He then helped the person back to the room to take a nap.

The door opened and closed.

The people who entered the room didn't know that after the little fox outside had eaten and drunk enough, it jumped onto the sofa and curled up in the corner and went to sleep. It planned to stay here and not move.
