Chapter 263 Full Moon



The 29th day of the winter month was the baby's full moon, and the weather was good. Although they didn't have to hold a banquet, they still had to cook a meal for themselves. In the morning, Cao Xiangnan went to the town with Cao Gang to buy some fresh fish and meat, and then went to Luo's Clinic and called Luo Rongheng to have a drink.

It was too cold outside, so Mrs. Luo didn't bring her daughter-in-law with her. She said she would go after he held a hundred-day banquet, and the two of them made an appointment.

The child and the evening breeze were both good, and Cao Xiangnan didn't bother Luo Laoshi to run around.

When he was going back, Liu, the shopkeeper, came to Caojia Village with him, carrying the gifts, so he could take Luo Rongheng back with him.

As soon as the snow stopped, someone would come out to clean the road leading to Caojia Village and the town. Originally, only the people in Caojia Village cleaned the road, but later, people who walked on this road nearby would also come out to help clean the road. So this year, people in the town also found that as long as it didn't snow, people from nearby villages would come to the town to do business.

This road is easy to walk on, and everyone benefits.

"Brother, Brother Luo, come in and sit down. Wanfeng, there are guests coming." Cao Xiangnan led the people into the house. Qi Wanfeng saw the people coming in, and helped her husband to entertain the guests and pour tea for them.

Luo Rongheng brought his kid over. As soon as he entered the house, the kid went to play with his friends as if he was familiar with the place. After looking around, he found that he couldn't find anyone. "Uncle, uncle, where are An An and the others?"

"An An and the others have gone to the academy for classes. They will be back in a while." Cao Xiangnan lowered his head and said to the kid who was pulling his clothes. Then he explained to him that An An and the others were going to the academy to study. The kid went to make trouble again, saying that his father was going to the academy.

"Then I will send you to the academy to study in the future?" Luo Rongheng raised his eyebrows and asked his naughty boy.

"..." Luo Wenhao.

"Hahaha..." Luo Rongheng laughed when he saw the boy's appearance. He knew that his boy was not a good student, so he kept silent when he heard about studying. His father wanted his grandson to learn medicine from him, but he thought his son was not cut out for it. He was a bit like his father, so it would be nice for him to follow him to do business. His

mother told him and his wife to try their best to have another child, to have another grandson to learn medicine from his father. He personally agreed with his mother, and it would be better to have another child than to let this boy learn medicine.

After a while, the group of adults and children who went to the academy came back, and Luo Wenhao had a playmate. The group of children played happily, and the house became lively.

Later, more and more people came to the house, all of whom were familiar families in the village.

Although it was the full month of his child's birthday, Cao Xiangnan did not invite anyone to come. However, some people in the village who were close to him knew that his child was full month today, so they came with gifts without him inviting them. He did not even go to the compound to invite them to come. It would be disturbing to invite those people to come, so he simply did not invite them. Anyway, he did not go to the village to invite anyone to come. Only he knew that even if he had no food, he would have a glass of water. He would come even if he did not invite them.

Liu, the storekeeper, brought a golden pig for the child. Luo Rongheng, who made medicinal herbs, also sent him some supplements. Chen Hong asked her husband to make a pair of silver bracelets for them. Others who came, even if they did not bring expensive things, brought some meat and food.

Cao Xiangnan did not dare to hang the gold and silver jewelry that everyone gave on the children's necks. How could such a small neck hang so many things?

He went to the silver shop in the town in advance to make a longevity lock and a pair of silver bracelets for each child in the family. An An, Xiang Zi and Xing Xing did not have these things before, but when he went to make them for the fourth child, he simply made them for the first three children at the same time, so now every child in the family has a longevity lock and a pair of silver bracelets around their necks.

He did not forget his wife at home. He made a silver hairpin for her and bought a pair of jade bracelets of good quality. Cao Xiangnan himself did not buy anything. The jade pendant hanging around his neck was put on by his wife. It was enough for him.

"This child is so handsome." After the child is one month old, he can be brought out to show everyone. Many people came to the house that day. Even Mrs. Li Zheng brought her wife and Xiao Fuer to come. She was reluctant to let go of the child.

"Yes, this child is so beautiful."

"The eyes are so big, like the eyes of the evening breeze."

The child's appearance is very good. The longer he grows, the more beautiful his nose and eyes look. Now the child is not as red as when he was just born. The red color has faded, and the skin is as white as Qi Wanfeng's skin.

Qi Wanfeng entertained everyone in the hall. The child was held in everyone's arms. He was not needed at all, and he was happy and relaxed. The child did not recognize anyone and could be held by anyone.

"Come on, smile for Momo with your pursed little mouth."

No matter how everyone teased him, the child did not cry or laugh. He pursed his little mouth. He had just eaten a lot and had a good sleep, and he was in good spirits. Occasionally, he raised his eyes and looked at the person holding him.

In the kitchen, Cao Xiangnan was already preparing lunch. Chicken was stewed in a big pot. The pork he bought was cut into pieces and fried into braised pork. Two fish were fried whole and made into sweet and sour fish. Pork and soybeans were stewed with pumpkin, and radish was fried. Three or two dishes and soup would be enough. "The dishes are ready. It's time to eat. Let's eat." Things on this side of the kitchen were almost ready. Cao Xiangnan came over and called everyone to come to the dining room to sit down and eat.

The tables in the dining room were put together to form a long table, and everyone could sit down. The dishes were served one after another. Someone served the dishes in the back, so Cao Xiangnan came over to see Wanfeng and the children.

"Is the child asleep?" After entering the house, he saw Wanfeng just put the child down on the bed, and he asked, "Well, he just ate and fell asleep." Later, Qi Wanfeng found that this child was very easy to take care of. He would sleep after eating and eat after sleeping. Basically, he rarely made noises. Now he fell asleep after eating.

"Then let the child sleep here, and you go out to eat. The food outside is ready. Let's eat together while it's hot."

"Okay."

After putting the child to sleep in the house, they went out to eat together.

The two people who left didn't know that as soon as they left, the little white fox ran to the bed again and slept with the child. If Cao Xiangnan knew, he would definitely grab the little thing by the neck and drag it out.

After noon, everyone had lunch and left one by one.

"Brother, Brother Luo, take care, come and play often when you have time." After dinner, the shopkeeper Liu and Luo Rongheng were also going back to the town. Cao Xiangnan sent them out, and when he saw the boy sticking his head out, he smiled and said, "Wenhao, come and play again next time." "

Okay, okay."

"Okay, uncle, I will come and play with my father next time." Luo Wenhao is a very outgoing boy. He is dark, strong and looks very similar to his father Luo Rongheng. The father and son are not often together, but the relationship between the father and son seems to be good.

"Goodbye, Brother Wenhao." Xiao Anan followed his father and waved to the little friend who left.

"Goodbye, An'an. Goodbye, Xiangzi, Xuanxuan... Goodbye."

"Come visit us often when you have time." The carriage drove away with a clatter, and Cao Xiangnan also went back home with a group of children.

Later, after everyone had finished their meal and left, his father and eldest brother came over.

"Dad, eldest brother, you are here." Cao Xiangnan invited them in, poured them tea, and did not say that they were not welcome. The three of them, father, son and brother, sat together without saying anything. They were as strange as strangers, and there was a faint awkwardness in the air.

I don't know how their family became like this. Now even if his father wanted to repair the lost father-son relationship, there was actually nothing left. What's more, he didn't miss Cao Xiangnan himself at all. The real Cao Xiangnan had died a long time ago, and he didn't know if he had any resentment in his heart.

Thinking back, they were driven out of the compound not only because his son had a broken leg, but also because Wanfeng was pregnant. His father, mother, brothers and sisters were afraid that their family would be a burden to them, so even if they severed their relationship later, they still wanted to drive them out.

The past is the past, and these relatives have become people who are not as good as outsiders.

"Oh, I thought the baby is one month old, so I came to see the baby." Father Cao paused for a while and said.

"Wanfeng, go and bring the baby out for Dad and Big Brother to see." The child was still sleeping at this moment, and Cao Xiangnan called Wanfeng to bring the baby out for his younger brother and Big Brother to see. Qi Wanfeng also carried the child out. When he saw his father and eldest brother coming, he called out, "Father, eldest brother." At

this moment, the children in the family also went back to their rooms to take a nap, so they were the only ones there.

Cao's father looked at the child, with a rare excitement on his face, and said, "This, this child is growing up well."

"...The child is still sleeping, take him back to the room to sleep, don't let him freeze." He said after taking a look.

They came on the day the child was born, and they never came again afterwards. Cao Ashan actually had very complicated feelings towards this fourth son and this newly born grandson. He felt guilty and wanted to get close to them but didn't dare.

However, if Cao Xiangnan knew what his father was thinking, he would probably sneer at it. If he was still lying in bed today waiting for someone to send the medical money, his father and elder brother would probably be afraid of his wife giving birth.

After taking a look at her husband, Qi Wanfeng took the still sleeping child back to the house to sleep.

"We'll go back." Cao's father said.

His father and elder brother drank a cup of tea here and were about to leave. When they left, Cao Xiangnan filled a basket with a piece of meat for them to take back. Seeing his father pushing and shoving, he asked his elder brother to carry it back.

No one is a saint. Some things that happened are still there after all. No one can cross such a gap.

Looking at the two people leaving, Cao Xiangnan stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then turned back.
