The next day, it was still a sunny day. The sun was out outside, and Aning took the children to the academy to go to school. It happened that the snow had stopped, and Cao Xiangnan had to go to the town. Wanfeng was not fit to ride in a carriage, and he did not dare to take him to the town, so he had to leave him at home.

"Is it really okay for you to be alone at home?" If he went to the town, Aning and the children would also go to the academy, leaving Wanfeng alone at home, and Cao Xiangnan was a little worried.

"What's the problem?" Qi Wanfeng smiled when she saw her husband's worried look, and said, "It's really okay, go ahead, you will be back in half a day at most, what can happen in this half day, just go without worry."

Sun Bailian also went to the academy with the children, leaving a group of rough men at home.

Originally, Cao Xiangnan wanted Wei Qi to come to his house to help him watch the evening breeze for a while, but the man at home disagreed.

"Go ahead, I have nothing to do at home, I'll go to sleep for a while, you will be back soon, right?" Qi Wanfeng said, and yawned. He was easily sleepy now, and he felt sleepy again after sitting for a while.

"Shall I help you go inside?"

"I don't want to lie down, I'll sit here for a while, and I'll go in by myself when I feel sleepy."

Cao Gang, Wei Qi and Wei Lin were waiting outside, and Wang Dahu followed Liu Baishu to the academy. Everyone stayed in the house for so long, even the horses stayed in the shed for so long and wanted to go out for a walk. Cao Xiangnan harnessed the carriage. He was going to the town to pick someone up and drive the carriage over, but Cao Gang and others rode on horses.

When the carriage arrived in the town, Cao Xiangnan first went to Yipinzhai and delivered the fresh mushrooms and vegetables in the carriage to the shopkeeper Liu.

It happened to be a market day today. The snow had stopped outside and people from nearby villages also rushed to the town to do business. Things were the best to sell at this time, and everyone took advantage of the snow to go out and buy things. However, there were not as many people on the street as usual, but it was much better than the empty streets on weekdays.

Yipinzhai's business was also very good in the past two days. Shopkeeper Liu was very happy to see Cao Xiangnan and his group coming, especially when he saw that they brought his fresh mushrooms and vegetables. His usually serious face smiled so much that crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.

At this time, these fresh mushrooms and vegetables are much more expensive than meat. Even if you have money, you can't buy these foods. How can the storekeeper Liu not be happy?

"Boy, you are finally here. I was wondering when you would come to the town." The storekeeper Liu directed people to carefully move the things in, and then led a group of people upstairs. After entering the private room, the servant served tea and snacks and left.

Cao Xiangnan also learned some of the situation in the town from the storekeeper Liu. In previous years, there were actually few people eating in the upstairs at this time. This year, many people came to eat as soon as the weather was fine, and the business was much better than in previous years.

He could also infer that the business in Nanyang should be better than that in Fenshui, not to mention the restaurants in other prosperous cities.

"There are no ships coming and going outside. We have to wait until February or March next year to have ships coming and going." The river is frozen in this weather, so naturally there will be no ships coming and going. Manager Liu said that there has been no news from Nanyang for some time.

However, after winter, the caravans will not go by water, but by land, so Manager Liu also said that if there is anything, they can also send news through the caravans going by land. They don't have anything to do here, so there is no need to send anything there.

"Oh, yes, I don't have much vegetables there, next time I'll only have some mushrooms." There were still some vegetables left in the shed for my family to eat. It was not easy to grow vegetables in this weather, but the mushrooms in the house grew fast, and it would be great if they could send some fresh mushrooms here. Cao Xiangnan told Liu the shopkeeper about this.

At this time, it would be great to have some fresh mushrooms. Liu the shopkeeper said yes and said, "Just send them over if you have mushrooms."

He drank two cups of tea with Liu the shopkeeper upstairs and chatted for a while. He roughly understood the situation. Cao Xiangnan also had to go somewhere else in a hurry. Liu the shopkeeper also had to go out to work, so they left Yipinzhai.

The family was short of something, so Cao Gang, Wei Qi, and Wei Lin went to buy something elsewhere, while he went to the Luo Family Clinic.

"Brother Luo." The carriage went to the Luo Family Clinic, Cao Xiangnan went to the back door, knocked on the door, and it was Luo Rongheng who opened the door for him. Luo Rongheng was very happy to see the visitor, and patted his shoulder with his hand, saying, "You kid, how long have I not seen you?" He handed the things in his hand to Luo Rongheng, who took them and asked, "What is it?"

"Oh, good stuff!" When Luo Rongheng saw the things in the basket, his eyes lit up. At this time, someone gave him a basket of fresh vegetables, which made him much happier than someone gave him two hundred-year-old ginsengs.

"There are mushrooms below. I'll send some to Brother Luo to taste." Anyone who saw fresh food at this time would smile. Cao Xiangnan turned around and brought a jar of wine from the back.

"You come here if you want. Why do you need to send so many things to Brother?" Luo Rongheng said so, but he was not embarrassed at all. He would pick up some supplements for the boy to take back.

Cao Xiangnan followed Luo Rongheng in, and the two of them exchanged a few polite words.

The two of them went into the house and saw Dr. Luo and Luo Rongheng's wife Wang, as well as his boy, who was also ten years old and looked about 70% like Luo Rongheng. Cao Xiangnan came in and greeted everyone and sat down.

"Mom, look at what good things Xiangnan brought us?" Luo Rongheng lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing the fresh vegetables and freshly picked mushrooms inside, and handed them to his mom.

"Oh, this is really..." Mrs. Luo was so happy when she saw the fresh vegetables that she didn't know what to say.

"Please have some tea." Wang poured tea, and Cao Xiangnan said "thank you".

Mrs. Luo smiled and asked her son to move the things downstairs and put them away. Then she asked Cao Xiangnan, "Is your wife about to give birth?"

"Yes, it's almost this month, or at the latest the beginning of next month. It's almost the right time. I'm going to ask Dr. Luo to go over and take a look, and also invite a midwife to go over." It's only a few days away from the end of the month. Fortunately, the snow stopped that day. If Cao Xiangnan didn't hurry to invite someone, it would be too late to invite someone when the baby is born.

There is an old midwife in the village who delivers babies. To be honest, Cao Xiangnan doesn't trust the old midwife in Caojia Village. Since he can invite someone in advance, he can go to the town to invite a reliable one.

"Yes, we need to invite good people. I know there are two madams with good reputations in this town. Xueji, you go to Aunt Chen and Aunt Hua in person to ask if they are available these days and invite them over." Old Madam Luo has lived in this town for so many years, so she is naturally more familiar with the things in the town.

"How can I let my brother go there? Tell me the place and I will go by myself." Cao Xiangnan said hurriedly.

"It's OK. It's just a few steps away. Let Xueji go." Doctor Luo waved his hand and Wang went out. "Rongheng, go to the front and take a look. If there are no patients, ask your father to close the door of the clinic and ask him to go to Caojia Village with Xiangnan."

"Okay, I'll go and take a look." Luo Rongheng stood up and walked out to the clinic in front.

There were not many people in the clinic at this time. There were only three or five people who came to see a doctor in the morning. There were no patients in the clinic in front at this time. After a while, Luo Rongheng and Doctor Luo came together.

Wang went out and asked Hua Ama to come over.

Hua Ama was tidy, decent, and smiling. She was good-natured. She said that he happened to be free recently, so she went to Caojia Village with him. Cao Xiangnan greeted his friend and said that he would invite him to stay for a few days. He would arrange accommodation for him. Hua A-ma agreed.

Maybe it was because of the vegetables and mushrooms he sent, but Dr. Luo's smile never stopped. He was very happy.

After thanking Dr. Luo and Wang for their help, Cao Xiangnan invited Hua A-ma to get on the carriage. There was a donkey in the clinic that Dr. Luo usually used, but Luo Rongheng went out to borrow a carriage and took Dr. Luo and his son with him.

It happened that Cao Gang and his friends also bought the things they needed in the town, and they went back to Caojia Village.

When they returned, Aning and several children also came back from the academy.

He hurried to the town, and then hurried back. Cao Xiangnan was relieved when he saw the people smiling at him at home. He would never admit that he was worried about the person who was alone at home on the way to the town, and he was afraid that something would happen to him at home and no one would know.

The children at home were very happy to see him back, and they all ran over. An An was not unfamiliar with Doctor Luo, and when he saw him coming, he called "Grandpa Luo." Qi Wanfeng and Aning were even more familiar with Doctor Luo, and they greeted him with a smile, and several children called him obediently.

"Hey, dear baby." Doctor Luo saw a room full of children calling him Grandpa, and his face was wrinkled with smiles.

With his father's nod, Luo Wenhao started playing with a group of friends. This kid was a naughty boy. When he saw the little white fox, he reached out to grab it and play with it. He was not afraid of the little wild animal biting him. The little white fox ran away and hid.

When Sun Bailian heard that Qi Wanfeng had invited a doctor and a midwife, he also came here with his child. The group of children almost overturned the roof. Sun Bailian quickly drove the group of children outside to play.

When he came in a carriage, Hua Amao knew that it was not an ordinary family who invited him to come. He heard that the people in Caojia Village became rich all of a sudden. Now he saw it with his own eyes. This is really true.

Cao Xiangnan introduced the invited auntie Hua to Qi Wanfeng. When auntie Hua saw the boy's firm belly, she smiled and said, "Your belly is pointed. Hmm, you will definitely have a big fat boy this time."

"Please ask auntie Hua to make a trip." Qi Wanfeng already had a boy, so she naturally wanted to give her husband a boy. When she heard the auntie who was invited to deliver the baby said that this time it was a boy, she was very happy.

Everyone sat down, Dr. Luo took the pulse, and asked auntie Hua to touch Qi Wanfeng's belly twice. Both of them said that the baby's position was right, which meant that the birth would be much smoother. Later, Dr. Luo also said that it was nothing more than asking people to walk around more, so that it would be easier to give birth when the time came.

The days that followed were getting more and more tiring. Qi Wanfeng either liked to lie down or lie on the sofa half leaning against it. In

short, he just didn't want to walk. If Cao Xiangnan hadn't remembered Doctor Luo and dragged him out for a walk every day, he would have wanted to lie still. It was almost noon now, and Cao Xiangnan asked Doctor Luo and Luo Rongheng to come down for lunch. Cao Gang and Sun Bailian happened to be at his house. He bought some fresh fish and meat when he came back from the town

, so he fried a few dishes and sat down to have lunch together. After lunch, they drank a cup of tea, and Luo Rongheng didn't stay with him. He drove the carriage with Doctor Luo back to the town, and the invited Hua A-ma stayed at their house.
