The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out. The people standing at the door had smiles on their faces. Children covered their ears and shouted and jumped. People gathered at the door to watch the excitement. Qi Wanfeng, Sun Bailian and Aning, who were standing on both sides, pulled the red rope in their hands and pulled down the red cloth hanging on the plaque. The two pieces of red cloth fell one after another.

Qi Wanfeng turned his head and saw his husband standing not far from him. He saw that his husband was looking at him. The two smiled at each other. At this moment, no words were needed. They knew what each other wanted to say.

The kid in his arms was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. He squinted his eyes and took a look, and then yawned calmly. Seeing the appearance of the kid in his arms, Cao Xiangnan sometimes really doubted that his kid was only three months old. He ate and slept all day long and would only move when provoked.

Xiaobaoer also came with them. He stayed in the house in the backyard and was not brought to the front. Xiaobaoer was shy and would cry when he saw strangers, not to mention that it was so noisy outside. It was really hard to comfort him when he started to make a fuss.

The new store in the town has been renovated and opened today.

A small room was separated from a shop to make a cake shop, and the big one was for making spicy hot pot.

Cao Xiangnan gave them a good start in the new store, and the rest was left to his Wanfeng and Sun Bailian. On this day, the two new stores opened together, and everyone came to the town together.

As soon as the firecrackers sounded, many people gathered around to watch the excitement.

The door of the store opened, and the shelves inside the cake shop were filled with all kinds of cakes. The Malatang store had fresh vegetables, and the pot was boiling with fragrant soup. As soon as the soup rack was pushed out, the fragrance wafted out.

The people standing at the door watching the excitement got excited when they smelled the smell.

Seeing her husband nodded to him, Qi Wanfeng took two steps forward and said loudly, "Today our store is open, and everything you eat in the store is half-price. Don't miss it if you pass by. Come to our store and try it to see how it tastes. If it's delicious, you're welcome to come back next time. If it's not delicious, you don't have to pay." "All are half-price, all are half-price. Don't miss it if you pass by."

"Hey, isn't this Aning? Have you moved your shop here?" A guy who had eaten Malatang in the previous shop recognized Aning, walked out and said, "I saw that the shop there was gone, and I thought you closed down, but I didn't expect you to move here." The guy turned around and said to the people around him, "This is the Malatang I told you about. It's delicious. Come on, go in, I'll treat you."

Today it's half price, which is half the price of eating inside in the past, but it's a great bargain.

"Come on, come in, come in." Aning saw that the business came as soon as the door opened, and he smiled and hurriedly welcomed the people in. Seeing Wanfeng still staring at him, Cao Xiangnan nodded at him and said, "Go ahead, this is your store." He had taught Wanfeng several ways to make snacks these days. It must be said that his Wanfeng was also talented in these aspects and did it very well.

After hearing what Qi Wanfeng said, he smiled at his husband and went into the store. Sun Bailian also went to entertain the guests.

The people standing at the door also took their positions and did what they had to do. The two older ones, Xiangzi and Kangkang, could help with the work. As for the rest of the younger ones, Cao Xiangnan carried the children in his arms to the backyard, in case Xiaobaoer woke up and refused to come out. Unexpectedly,

as soon as he walked back to the backyard, he really heard Xiaobaoer crying like a kitten, and he put the little cub down. Once the two children were put together and communicated in their own way, the little one soon stopped crying, but his eyes and nose were red, and he felt very aggrieved, accusing everyone of abandoning him here without taking care of him. As

soon as you walk into the store, you will see a variety of fresh vegetables and mushrooms on the shelves. The cold winter has just passed, and in this season when the vegetables have not yet come out, the brothers who come in will be excited when they see these fresh vegetables.

You know, many of them have been eating pickled vegetables for a whole winter, and now the vegetables from the fields have not come out, so they can't buy vegetables even if they want to eat them. It will take at least a month for the fresh vegetables to come out. Now this small store has fresh vegetables and a lot of meat. The handmade pork balls and fish balls have always been well made and have always been popular with customers.

"There are baskets here. Please put the food you want to eat into the baskets. Once you have chosen, take it to the front and let them cook it."

People who came in picked up baskets to choose their dishes. The price of dishes at this time was not cheap. The price was higher than that of meat. People who could come to the town had a lot of money in their pockets. They could afford it. The small baskets were quickly filled with dishes. They all wanted to buy a pound of dishes to take home.

Aning in the front was cooking dishes and meat skillfully. However, no matter how fast he was, more people came to eat in the back, and the vegetable baskets piled up gradually. There were also

many people in the cake shop, and everyone who went in came out with cakes in their hands.

Don't underestimate these small things. The profit can be multiplied several times. If this store is successful, the money earned in a month is really not small.

The vegetables grown in the greenhouse are fresh when picked, which is also a problem that Cao Xiangnan has considered in advance. The most important thing for the opening of their Malatang is the vegetables. Everyone has eaten pickled vegetables for a whole winter, and everyone wants to eat some fresh vegetables.

And according to the price of vegetables sold in this season, the price given in their store is not very expensive.

So after the integration, their store is now open, and the business must be good.

Two stores have been opened. In the past, most of the people who went to the store to eat Malatang were young men, but now there are young men, children and the elderly. During the first three days of opening, there were half-price promotions. The store was packed every day. Those who arrived late didn't even have a seat.

Fortunately, two assistants were hired in advance to help with chores, otherwise the two people really couldn't handle it.

After the store opened, Cao Xiangnan no longer cared about the affairs there. He also had his own things to do.

Before the spring came, all the people who were staying in the academy had moved out, and the completely empty house would be used as a classroom for the children to enter school in March. New tables and chairs were transported and placed inside, and the initial scale of the classroom had been determined.

After the New Year, Cao Xiangnan had to rush to the town to invite teachers. Cao Wenxuan would go back to Nanyang to study, and Zheng Shubo alone would not be able to teach so many children. Moreover, some adults would go back to study at night, so it would be even more difficult for him to come. There were

also classes to be arranged, and the corresponding teachers had to be invited one by one, otherwise the school would start soon, and it would be too late to invite them.

At the beginning of February, the staff arranged to start promoting the enrollment in March in the village, and those who wanted to enroll had to sign up quickly. The people who went to promote also made it clear to everyone that those who came late might not have a place, and if they wanted to send their children there, they would have to wait until next year.

"If you want to send your children to college, please register as soon as possible."

Some people registered immediately after hearing this, while others had to think about it again, not knowing that if they thought about it too late, the spot would be gone.

Last year, many families in Caojia Village saved some money, and the mothers wanted to send their children to the academy. In some families that have not yet split up, most of the families are decided by the grandfathers and grandmothers. In the past, if a family in the village had a child who went to school, the whole family would support that child, and the rest of the children who wanted to go to school could only watch helplessly, because they did not have enough money to support another child to go to school.

The children who went to school were often the ones who were liked by the father and grandmother, and the grandfather and grandmother. If the child/grandson was not liked, he would not even have the opportunity to go to school.

Who doesn't want to send their own children to school? You took my money to send other people's children to school, and you want me to continue working to support other people's children's education in the future. No one is stupid, and no one is willing to do this.

In the past, we had to endure and live in silence, but now that we have some money in our pockets, no one wants to endure and live like before.

The young brothers in the family are all clamoring to send their children to school, but the grandfather and mother in the family are unwilling, and they are clamoring to split up the family. At one time, many families in Caojia Village were clamoring to split up the family, and Li Zheng and the deputy village chief were too busy to deal with these trivial matters in the village.

One family split up, two families split up, three families split up. At one time, there were many families split up because of their children's education. Naturally, there were also grandmothers who wanted to control their daughters-in-law and withhold the money in their hands, hoping that their sons and daughters-in-law would take the money back to them in the future.

The current Caojia Village is not like the Caojia Village in the past. Everything was decided by the village head and the elders. If there was anything, it was handled according to the closeness of the relationship. Now, there is a management office in the village, and everything is based on the word "reason".

As long as the division of the family is reasonable, there is no reason for the village management office not to approve it. Moreover, the current Caojia Village insists on fairness and justice in everything. There will never be a situation where one son gets all the land and another son has no land when the family is divided.

Some people in the village thought they could go to the clan elders and cry and complain, as before, hoping to get the clan elders to change the division of their families.

If it had been in the past, these old guys who relied on their elders would have gone to Li Zheng to dance, but now they don't dare to. They can go against the management office and Cao Silang, but their children and grandchildren still want to live a good life with Cao Silang in this Cao village, and their grandchildren also want to study in the academy. If this quarrel continues, it will not do them any good.

After such a separation of families, some people are happy and some are sad.
