The ox cart slowly passed through the village. This was the first time Cao Xiangnan walked out of the gate of the Cao family after coming to this world. He saw the appearance of this village.

The low and dilapidated houses on both sides of the road made the appearance of this village even more backward than he imagined. He sat on the ox cart and looked at the people he met on the road. They were also looking at him. The faces of these people were full of traces of sorrow in life. They were pale and thin, and most of the clothes they wore had patches.

It is not difficult to distinguish between men and boys. Boys are mostly relatively weak and slender, while men are tall, so Qi Wanfeng's tall figure is relatively rare among boys, but he prefers his Qi Wanfeng.

Thinking that this person is by his side right now, and has not abandoned him like his parents and the people in the Cao family did, Cao Xiangnan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, a feeling of being touched and grateful. He reached out and grabbed Qi Wanfeng's hand, holding it tightly in his hand. He thought that he would be good to this person for the rest of his life.

"Huh?" Qi Wanfeng didn't know why his husband was holding his hand tightly. Being looked at like this by his husband, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart and looked away, his ears slightly red.

In front, Cao Gang was driving seriously, and the family of three sitting in the back were hugging each other. An An looked outside with curiosity in his eyes. This child was usually locked up in the Cao family compound and rarely had time to go out.

The villagers had heard about what happened in Caojia Courtyard. When they saw Silang Cao's family of three passing by on an oxcart, they knew that they had left Caojia Courtyard and moved to live somewhere else. People gathered in groups of two or three and talked, pointing their fingers in the direction of the oxcart, probably still discussing the matter of Caojia Courtyard.

The oxcart rattled along and left the village.

The old house of the Cao family was a short distance away from the end of Caojia Village. There were a few families living here originally, but now they have moved to other places, so there are no more people living nearby.

The oxcart passed by, surrounded by fields planted by the Zhuang family. The spring breeze blew, and the green was moving with the wind.

"Brother Cao Gang, this is it." Qi Wanfeng said.

Cao Gang pulled the rope, and the ox stopped at the gate of the small courtyard.

"Husband, we're here." Qi Wanfeng touched the head of the child who was holding him tightly, and said to his husband.

Before coming here, Cao Xiangnan had already prepared himself mentally for the old house to be old, but when he came here and saw the dilapidated house in front of him that was not habitable at all, he was still defeated by this reality.

Ideals are often beautiful, but reality is skinny.

In front is a bamboo forest, and not far away is a large mountain. The farthest mountain is so high that it reaches the clouds, and white clouds linger on it. Cao Xiangnan raised his head and looked up at the mountain at a 135° angle, and finally silently withdrew his gaze.

Cao Gang got off the ox cart, reached out to hold Qi Wanfeng's hand, and then went to pick up the child. He also saw that this house was not habitable at all, and he couldn't help but frowned. He said, "I'll go in and take a look."

"Brother Cao Gang, I'll go in with you." Qi Wanfeng said.

Qi Wanfeng followed Cao Gang in. At this time, he could only sit on the ox cart and wait. He couldn't do anything. Cao Xiangnan was extremely depressed.

The old house of the Cao family was a mud brick house. There were several houses in a row. However, no one lived in it for a long time. One wall on the east and one wall on the west collapsed. The thatch on the roof was broken. It was not habitable at all.

The good thing was that this piece of land was very large. He still had the title deed of the old house and the title deed of the three acres of land in his pocket. He had asked his father for the deeds to these fields. Thinking of his mother Zhenzhu's constipated face and the pain she felt when she took these things out of the house to give them to him, Cao Xiangnan would be in a good mood for several days.

But now he still had to face reality. Seeing the state of the house, he couldn't even laugh.

When Cao Gang and Qi Wanfeng came out, their heads were covered with spider webs and dust. It seemed that the situation inside was not good. When Cao Gang came out, he saw Cao Jiasilang with a broken leg sitting on the ox cart. He looked at Qi Wanfeng and knew that the family now depended on Qi Wanfeng. Hearing from Bai Lian that Qi Wanfeng was pregnant, he was afraid that he could not be asked to do heavy work. He said, "I happen to be free today. I will take the ox cart back first, and then come to help you build a house. Finish the house before sunset, and you will have a place to live."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Cao Gang. Xiangnan would like to thank Brother Cao Gang here." Cao Xiangnan did not refuse, knowing that if no one helped, he could not do anything now, and Qi Wanfeng would have to do it all by himself. If everything fell on Qi Wanfeng, I'm afraid Qi Wanfeng's body would be crushed.

Now solve the problem at hand, and he will think of a way to do the rest.

After moving all the things on the ox cart, he took Cao Xiangnan off the cart.

"I'll give the cart back to someone else. You wait here for a while." Cao Gang got on the cart and drove it away. After

the cart left, the three of them were left facing the dilapidated house. Fortunately, there was a half-meter-high wall surrounding the yard, so they didn't have to worry about wild animals coming in at night. The yard was full of weeds. Qi Wanfeng took a look and said, "Husband, I'll clean up these weeds. You keep an eye on An'an and don't let him run around. I'm afraid there will be snakes and insects here."

Their eyes met, and Cao Xiangnan met Qi Wanfeng's clear eyes. As if he was infected by the smile on his face, his gloomy mood dissipated a little. He said "hmm", and said, "Wanfeng, you should be careful too. Use a stick to drive them away. You deal with the surrounding area first. We are not in a hurry to finish everything today. I'll do the rest with you after my legs and feet are healed." "

Okay." Qi Wanfeng nodded in response with a smile on his face.

Finally, An An, who had been sitting there for a long time, became restless and had to run over to help his mother pull weeds. Cao Xiangnan sat there looking at Qi Wanfeng and the child, feeling inexplicably sad, his eyes a little hot, and he almost cried. He sniffed, knowing that he was sorry for Qi Wanfeng and the child. This leg must get better quickly so that he can help Qi Wanfeng and not let him be so tired alone.

His eyes followed the people who were working, without blinking, his eyes were full of this person.

Every time Qi Wanfeng looked up, he found that his husband was looking at him. He could not ignore that look, which made his heart beat a little faster and his cheeks turned slightly red.

When Cao Gang came back, Sun Bailian came with him, along with two other men from Caojia Village. Sun Bailian saw Qi Wanfeng from a distance and called out, "Wanfeng, we're here."

"Bailian." Qi Wanfeng stood up and called out with a smile.

Sun Bailian was holding a basket filled with food, "I brought some food for you. Here are a few big steamed buns for your lunch. There are also some vegetables and meat here for you to cook in the evening." He took them out one by one to show Qi Wanfeng, and waved to his husband behind him, asking him to put the things down, saying, "I know you don't have anything here, but there are still some things at home that can be used, so I'll give them to you."

Cao Gang put down the big basket on his back, which was filled with utensils, including pots, bowls, and a small bag of salt. "Bai Lian..." Qi Wanfeng's eyes suddenly became red.

"Hey, don't be like this, we are good friends, shouldn't I help my friends when they are in trouble?" Sun Bai Lian was fair and clean, a clean and beautiful person, with a straightforward personality and loyal to her friends.

Seeing someone's eyes turn red, Sun Bailian became flustered, "Don't shed tears."

"Puff..." Qi Wanfeng laughed when he saw Sun Bailian chuckle, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were still red. He said, "Bailian, thank you."

Sun Bailian waved her hand, glared at Qi Wanfeng, and said, "If we are friends, don't be so polite to me."

"Cao Jia Silang, I've come to see if you guys need any help here. It will be faster if we work together." The one with a simple and honest face is Cao Dapeng. He lives next to Cao Gang's house and has a good relationship with Cao Gang's family.

He had also heard about the things happening at the Cao family compound, and happened to have some free time today so he came over. He did not come empty-handed, he brought some flour in his hand, handed it to Qi Wanfeng, and said, "There is nothing good at home, and I just happened to have some flour, so I brought some flour over for you."

"How can I say this? I don't know how to thank you enough for coming to help. I can't take this." Qi Wanfeng knew that his family did not eat flour on normal days, and only ate it during festivals. Moreover, how could he feel comfortable accepting such a small bag of flour that weighed several kilograms.

"Take it."

The two men pushed and refused for a while, but Sun Ji on the side said with a playful smile, "Wanfeng, just take it. It will be dark if you keep pushing it. There is not much food in my house, and the hens just laid a few eggs. I'll give you some eggs."

He handed over the basket in his hand, "Don't push it. If it falls on the ground, it will be gone."

"Wanfeng, take it." Cao Xiangnan was sitting there and it was not convenient for him to get up. He could feel the kindness from these people. He remembered all the kindness others had shown him, and it would not be too late to repay them in the future. He said, "Xiangnan thanks everyone here. Thank you so much."

Qi Wanfeng could only take the basket and said "thank you".

"Why be polite? We are all family." Sun Ji is Sun Bailian's cousin, and the two look a bit alike. Sun Ji is also good-looking, always smiling, and very talkative. He is a very popular person in the village.

When there are more people, the work can be done very quickly.

Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian are responsible for the light work of cleaning the house outside, while Cao Gang and a few other men are responsible for repairing the roof. Everyone divides the work and cooperates with each other. Cao Xiangnan, who has difficulty walking, can only sit there and do nothing. Even his son can help with the work. He can only look up at the sky and sigh in his heart.
