Chapter 264: Rushing to Where We Want to Go



"Did Dad and Big Brother go back?" After putting the child back to bed, Qi Wanfeng came out of the house and saw her husband coming in from outside, and asked.

He didn't expect that Dad would come over specially to see the child. He would not go out of his way to get close to those people in the compound, but if they came, he would not chase them away. After moving out of the compound, because of mother and the others, they came a few times to make trouble, and the little family affection that did not exist in the first place was gradually wiped out.

Today, mother and the others did not come, and he felt a little relieved.

Her husband rarely mentioned those people in the compound, and now that they did not come to make trouble, her husband would send some meat over there. He would not stop her husband from sending things there, but he would not go there specially either.

"Well, let's go back." Cao Xiangnan took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to hold Wanfeng's hand, and put it to his lips and kissed it. When his eyes met the person looking at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked, "Is the child still sleeping?"

It was as if he knew what Wanfeng was thinking, but on this issue, both of them tacitly did not discuss it. It's not that they deliberately avoided it, but there was no need to spend any thoughts and words on those people.

"Still sleeping." When he hugged the child just now, he closed his eyes, maybe he recognized that the one hugging him was his mother, and closed his eyes and fell asleep again. Qi Wanfeng thought of his smart little baby and his eyes were crescent-shaped with a smile.

"Do you want to go back and sleep with the child for a while?" Cao Xiangnan asked.

Today is the baby's full month, they have been busy for most of the day, all the guests have left, and the children have gone to bed, finally they can have some peace and quiet, but it is getting late, Qi Wanfeng shook his head and said, "No, I won't sleep now, I won't be able to sleep at night."

He slept more during the day in the past few days, but couldn't sleep at night, which was very chaotic.

After his body recovered a little, he would get up at night to feed the baby, so that his husband didn't have to do everything by himself, taking care of the older one and the younger one, and he didn't even have time to take a breath. Qi Wanfeng didn't want his husband to be too tired, he found that his husband had lost a lot of weight in recent days to take care of him and the children.

"Well, let's sit down and rest for a while. When the dishes are heated up, we can have dinner. There is nothing to do for dinner tonight." Cao Xiangnan took Wanfeng's hand and walked to the living room. He asked her to sit down and rolled the cup he had just used with hot water and covered it.

"The baby is one month old. Can I go out now?" Qi Wanfeng asked seriously, seeking her husband's consent.

"...Well, I have to think about this carefully." He turned his head and looked at the person who was looking at him seriously, waiting for approval. Cao Xiangnan pretended to hesitate for a moment, nodded reluctantly, and said, "You have to wear clothes and hats and gloves when you go out, but you can still go out."

He had kept the man in the house for so long, and the man really had never stepped out of the house. After staying in the house for a long time, he wanted to go out for some fresh air. If it wasn't for the cold weather outside, he wouldn't really stop the man from going out. After

so many days of raising him, it was worth it for him to serve him chicken soup or bone soup and fish head every day. The man was fatter and looked better. It seemed that all the effort he put in this month was not in vain. He raised the man well, and Cao Xiangnan was very satisfied and proud of it.

Seeing the smile in her husband's eyes, she knew he was teasing him. After hearing his last words, Qi Wanfeng knew that his husband was still concerned about his health, fearing that he would catch a cold if he went out. Leaning on his husband's shoulder, he hummed and said, "Okay."

The two of them leaned together and talked. There were no children and no noise

at this moment. It was just the two of them in peace and quiet. Time passed quietly. The first child in the house woke up, and then the second and third children woke up together. The house began to have the voices of the children, and the house, which had been quiet for a while, became lively again.

The two boys from Sun Bailian's family came to play with them, and Gan Weilin followed behind to help keep an eye on the two boys. Qi Wanfeng, who had been detained in the house for a whole month, was allowed to go out. Cao Xiangnan was still worried, and had to wrap him up in three layers of clothes before letting him out.

Qi Wanfeng could only smile and let his husband put clothes on him, and finally put on a hat and gloves for him before he felt relieved. He suspected that his husband took care of him like An An, but in fact, this made him feel warm in his heart.

The child was put to sleep in the stroller and moved out of the living room. The living room was warm because of the fireplace, so there was no need to worry about the child getting cold.

The child could just sleep here without anyone staying to watch over him. The little white fox curled up on the sofa, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the child sleeping in the car, like a guardian angel.

"Baa..."

The sheep in the sheepfold cried happily when they saw people coming. When Qi Wanfeng went outside, he found everything new. "The little lamb has grown so big?" He saw that the little lamb following the ewe was already quite big.

"Yes, they have grown a lot bigger." Cao Xiangnan took a look, poured warm water into the trough and put it for the sheep to drink. He pointed to the chickens in the two chicken pens and said, "These chickens were sent by people from the village these days. We killed some of them and ate them, but there are still so many left."

Qi Wanfeng only knew that people from the village had sent chickens to their house, but he didn't know so many were sent. When he saw it, his eyes widened and his mouth opened. He looked at his husband and asked, "Are they all sent by everyone?"

Cao Xiangnan nodded. Don't disbelieve it. The chickens in the two chicken pens were sent by everyone. He also raised a few dozen chickens and only killed a few. His face turned green from sweeping the chicken poop every day for so many days.

In the past, Caojia Village was the poorest place in the surrounding area. If someone's child had a baby, it would be good to send a few eggs over. Otherwise, just pick a handful of vegetables from the field and send them over as a token of your thoughtfulness. The eggs laid by the chickens in the village were kept to exchange for money, and the family members were reluctant to eat them. But now everyone even sent hens over.

"This..." Qi Wanfeng was stunned and a little worried. How should he return them?

"It's okay. It's already been sent. At most, when the hens give birth to boys next year, I can send a nest of chicks back to everyone." Cao Xiangnan thought optimistically. When his wife gave him a glare, he laughed happily.

Cao Xiangnan was embarrassed to let others take back the eggs they sent to him. If he let others take them back, they would say that they were not giving him face.

However, he had already discussed with others about the chicks and ducklings for next year, and someone would deliver them when the time comes.

The mushrooms in the house were carefully taken care of, and they were growing well in this weather. Cao Xiangnan did not let Wanfeng follow him into the mushroom house because the smell inside was a bit strong. He did not go out until the mushrooms in the house were taken care of.

In the afternoon, the sun gradually disappeared, and the wind blew outside, and the temperature dropped a lot. Aning heated up the dinner dishes and served them on the table. After washing their hands, the children sat down. Qi Wanfeng was feeding the younger one in the living room, so everyone else could eat first.

Cao Xiangnan served the soup to everyone and went over to take a look at the little one who was breastfeeding.

"Wait a little longer, it's almost done, there are two more mouthfuls left." There was still a little left in the bowl, Qi Wanfeng looked up at his husband, knowing that his husband was here to call him to eat. After feeding the child, putting the child in the crib, and covering the child with a quilt, he followed his husband to eat.

The child put in the crib did not cry, and knocked for a while with his eyes open, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The little white fox guarding the side was carried away by Cao Xiangnan holding the soft meat of Hou Jin. It was eating its dinner with its head buried in its little bowl. It was getting dark outside, and the oil lamp was lit in the house. The crying of the child came from inside, and a voice of a gentle coaxing the child could be heard, and the crying stopped after a while.

The horses' hooves made a regular clattering sound on the bluestone-paved road. It was just getting dark, and the gray sky was still barely visible. The cold wind was blowing outside, and there were no people on the street at this time. A few people were walking hurriedly on the road, and the wheels were turning. Two horse-drawn carriages were slowly approaching.

When winter came to Nanyang and it got dark, there were no people outside on the street, and no one set up stalls on the street. Only poor people who were waiting for a few dollars to live would set up stalls outside in the winter nights. If they were lucky, they could do a few business and make a few dollars.

"Ya——" Two carriages stopped in front of Yipinzhai. After receiving the news, Fang, the shopkeeper, hurried out. He didn't expect their master to come to Nanyang at this time. In previous years, the master usually came to Fengdu after the New Year. But I don't know why he came to Nanyang this year.

The guard got off the car and whispered outside, "Master, we are here."

"Yes." A voice came from inside, with an indescribable laziness in it.

Ershun was helping the master to dress inside, and he had to wrap the master tightly, and finally put on a fox fur cloak. Fang Ziye allowed his little slave to torment him. These days, his little slave had been serving him with all his heart and soul. Once he did not cooperate, this little slave would get angry first. He allowed his little slave to torment him. After all, it was for his own good.

Shopkeeper Fang heard a familiar voice and knew that their big master was inside. He walked to the carriage and waited. He had already told the servant to go upstairs and clean up the room.

The carriage stopped for a while before the curtain was lifted. Er Shun got out of the carriage, reached out to hold the master's hand, and carefully helped the man down, not forgetting to remind him, "Master, be careful."

Holding the little slave's hand and getting off the carriage, Fang Ziye felt that it was more comfortable outside than inside the carriage when the wind blew in. His footsteps paused at the door and he turned his head to look at the empty street.

The last time he came to Nanyang, this street was still full of people. Time passed so quickly, and winter came in the blink of an eye.

They walked and stopped along the way, and if the weather was bad, they would stop for a few days before leaving. In addition, he was not feeling well and could not rush to travel. Therefore, it took them half as long as usual to get from Fengdu to Nanyanghua, and they only arrived in Nanyang today.

Ershun did not understand why his master had to come to Nanyang, but this was his master's wish, and as a servant, he could not disobey, so he could only obey orders and serve his master carefully.

"Master, it's cold outside, come in quickly." Manager Fang came forward and respectfully invited his master in.

"Yeah." Fang Ziye retracted his gaze and walked towards the door in front of him.

The group walked upstairs. Upstairs was a tidy room. Manager Fang had already instructed the kitchen to prepare food for the master, and they sent it up soon. Later, when his appetite improved, he was able to eat some food. The food was to his taste, and Fang Ziye ate a lot.

Ershun served the master. The servant was the happiest to see the master's good appetite.

After eating some food, Fang Ziye waved his hand to let everyone leave, and the little servant next to him handed him water to rinse his mouth.

Manager Fang was still waiting in this room. After the master had eaten, he told the master everything about Nanyang. After listening to him, Fang Ziye hummed and said, "I feel very relieved to leave Nanyang to you. You can make decisions on all matters here."

This is one of the few old people left by his side. Fang Ziye feels very relieved to have him take care of Nanyang.

"Yes." Manager Fang will not let down his master's trust.

"I don't plan to stay here on this trip to Nanyang. I will go to Xiangnan in two days. Please make arrangements for me." His purpose is not to come to Nanyang, but just pass by here and stop in Nanyang. After walking for so long and going through so much hardship from Fengdu to here, Fang Ziye still wants to go to Caojia Village and go to Cao Xiangnan.

"This..." Shopkeeper Fang paused when he heard his master say that he was going to Cao Xiangnan. Although he didn't know what his master was going to do in Caojia Village, his intuition told him not to ask, so he said yes.

"If Fengdu sends someone to find me, just say..."

"Yes." After leaving his master's room, Shopkeeper Fang went to arrange for his master to go to Caojia Village.

Today, it is not safe to take the water route. To go to Fenshui, you have to take the land route. The land route takes several days longer than the water route. If the weather is good, you can get there in three or two days. But today, it's better not to encounter a snowy day. If it's fast, you can get there in four or five days.

But if the master wants to go there, Fang can't say it's bad. There is Old Liu in Fenshui. Although Cao Xiangnan is young, he is also a reliable person. If his master wants to go, he can go. He ca

n't stop him. As for if they send someone to look for him, they will pass by him. He will handle the matter for the master. The group did not stay in Nanyang for too long. They set off for Fenshui Town the next day.
