After arranging the affairs at the academy, Cao Xiangnan still had to rush to Nanyang. Manager Fang had come several times to urge him to go to Nanyang. In addition, he had his own affairs to attend to there, so he still had to rush to Nanyang.
In the past, when he went to Nanyang, Wanfeng was alone at home taking care of three children, and he was not very relieved. What's more, there are two more children now, and Cao Xiangnan is even more worried.
No matter how well-behaved and obedient the children at home are, it is not an easy task for one person to take care of five children. Now he is rushing to Nanyang, and he is worried again without taking care of the family. He can't just leave the big and small ones and go, so he still has to deal with this problem first.
During the day, the two of them were busy with their own things. The children were not at home, no one was at home, and the gates of the yard were locked. Cao Xiangnan would not restrict Wanfeng from doing anything. Instead, he encouraged him to open a shop and do his own things instead of staying at home all day and waiting for him to go back.
He didn't want the day when he had a lot of things and the person who was with him had nothing in his hands. One day he found that he had walked far away, and the person beside him was still behind and didn't catch up.
To love someone is to grow up with him, to take him into your world, and to give him what you have.
In the afternoon, the shops in the town closed, and Qi Wanfeng took the two children and Sun Bailian to get on the carriage that came to pick them up and went back to the town.
After the early spring when the snow melted, the snow melted in the back, the breath of spring gradually became stronger, the weather was not so cold, and the fireplace in the house was no longer burning.
The weather was still a little cold at this time, and the quilt on the bed was not changed. It was still needed at night. Among the three older children, Xiangzi always slept alone. Anan and Xingxing were used to sleeping together, and the two children were unwilling to let go and sleep together, so the two children also slept together.
When there were no guests at home, the room was empty again, and there were extra rooms.
The room prepared for Xiao Le'er was not used yet, so it was okay to throw Xiao Le'er to sleep in the next room, and this child could sleep until the next morning. But Xiaobao is definitely not an option. This child is very clingy, especially to Wanfeng now. If he can't see anyone at night, he will cry. Therefore, the two children now sleep in their rooms at night.
At night, the three older ones all went back to their rooms to sleep. After taking a bath, Cao Xiangnan went to the children's room to take a look, tucked in the corners of the quilt for them, and then went back to the room.
During this season of changing seasons, children are most likely to catch a cold. Unfortunately, Xiaobao has had a fever in recent days. He is not in good health, so he is even more noisy.
"Is Xiaobao asleep?" When Cao Xiangnan pushed the door open, he saw Wanfeng holding Xiaobao in his arms and walking back and forth in front of the bed to coax the child.
The corners of the child's eyes were still red, and his little mouth was pouting even in his sleep, as if someone had wronged him greatly, so pitiful.
Even their own little ones were thrown on the bed to sleep, and they didn't need to be held or coaxed. They ate well and slept well, just like a little pig, and their bodies grew strong.
But little Bao'er, maybe because he was not well taken care of in the womb, was weak and cried a lot. Qi Wanfeng felt distressed because his child didn't have his mother by his side, so he was more accommodating. When the child cried, he picked him up and coaxed him.
"He just fell asleep." Qi Wanfeng said.
"Put the child in the crib and let him sleep. We will sleep too." Cao Xiangnan sometimes felt that Wanfeng spoiled Xiaobao too much. He had discussed this with Wanfeng. After all, Wanfeng would not spoil Xiaobao so unprincipled now.
It was because they were not their own children, but others trusted them and put them in their home to take care of them, so they had to take better care of them and educate them.
Children should not be spoiled too much from a young age, otherwise they would be lawless.
"Okay, I'll put the child down now." Qi Wanfeng carefully put the child in the crib. His little Lele was sleeping soundly with his limbs spread out. He reached out and touched his child.
It's not that he didn't care about or love his child, but his own child was too worry-free, so he put his mind on another child who was not so worry-free.
Cao Xiangnan came over from behind, put his hand on Wanfeng's waist, and looked at the two children sleeping in the crib from behind, "They are sleeping well."
"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng curled up the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of tender smiles as he looked at the children.
Turning his head to look at his husband behind him, the two of them were very close to each other, so close that if their lips moved forward a little more,
they would touch each other's lips. Naturally, Cao Xiangnan would not give up such a good opportunity. Leaning forward, he exerted force on his hands, pulled the person into his arms, and kissed Wanfeng's lips.
The two stood in front of the crib and kissed passionately.
No one noticed that the little piglet sleeping in the crib squinted his eyes and looked at his parents who completely ignored them. Little Le'er turned over and pressed down his good brother who occupied half of his crib.
The suppressed little Baoer pursed his lips, but he didn't cry.
After the sex, neither of them slept yet. In the dark, they lay on a bed, hugging each other. Cao Xiangnan told Wanfeng that he was going to Nanyang, so he also told the man in his arms about his own concerns, "So now I'm worried about whether you can take care of the kids at home, and yourself."
In addition to worrying that Wanfeng couldn't take good care of the kids, Cao Xiangnan was also worried that Wanfeng would be exhausted by taking care of the kids alone.
"There's nothing to worry about. During the day, the children go to the academy for classes. I take Lele and Xiaobaoer to the shop in town. Aning and Bailian help take care of them. I'm busy coming here alone." When Qi Wanfeng heard her husband say he was going to Nanyang, she was worried that he couldn't take care of the children at home alone. She smiled and told her husband not to worry.
The children went to the academy to study and were not at home every day. Now that he has a shop, he takes the two children to the shop in town after he finishes his work every morning.
"Go ahead if you want to. Don't worry about me and the children. I will take care of them." Qi Wanfeng knew that her husband was going to Nanyang because he had his own things to do, and it was no problem for him to take care of the children at home alone.
"It's still not good. Let me see how to arrange this matter properly." Cao Xiangnan knew that there were human traffickers here. For the first time, he had the idea of going to those people to buy a few people to bring home, so that he would not have to worry about the night breeze and the children being left unattended when he was not at home.
As a modern man, he could not accept the buying and selling of slaves, but he could not change the world after coming to this world.
According to his understanding of the current era, the current Feng Dynasty is still in a semi-slave society. However, in a feudal era, even in the later period, the trafficking of population has always been a problem.
It's not that if he doesn't buy it, it won't exist, and he can't change it. Even if he buys people back, he doesn't want to treat them like slaves. At most, if the family needs someone to help with the work, he will buy a few people to add to the work. "Go to sleep, I'll see how to deal with this matter properly tomorrow." The two people chatted for a while while lying on the bed. Seeing the person in his arms yawning, Cao Xiangnan knew that he was sleepy. He kissed the person in his arms and said, "Go to sleep, we'll talk about this tomorrow."
"Yeah." The sleepy person responded and then closed his eyes.
Seeing the person in his arms fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes and snored evenly, Cao Xiangnan smiled silently, knowing that the man didn't say that he would be tired taking care of several children and working in the store every day.
He wanted to open the store, and as a boss, he didn't need to do everything himself. It would be better to let the subordinates do it, so that he wouldn't be exhausted. He would talk to this person about this later.
At the end, he also fell asleep with the evening breeze. This sleep lasted until dawn, and they woke up.
"Oh--" The roosters crowed early in the morning, and they got up.
The chickens in the backyard went out through the hole in the corner of the wall to look for food. The chickens in the house only need to be fed once a day. When the chickens go out to dig for food and come back full, they will be fed again in the evening.
The sheep in the sheepfold need to be fed grass. There is not much grass outside at this time. Horses and sheep mostly eat dry grass. Now there are fresh vegetables, so they will also be fed a little.
The rabbits in the nest gave birth to seven little rabbits. When they came out one by one, they realized that the mother rabbit had given birth to babies, and a nest of babies was not small.
In the morning, they had to feed everything that needed to be fed at home, water the vegetables in the shed, and grow mushrooms in the house. They made a lot of money from these fresh mushrooms this winter, and the amount given to them by Yipinzhai was not small.
In addition to taking care of the little ones, there were still many things to do in the morning.
When breakfast was ready, the children sat down on the chairs and prepared to eat. Now Xiao Le'er was also fed some rice porridge and soup. Children had good appetites and could not be full just by drinking goat milk. Seeing that they could feed other things, they fed them something else.
"Eat quickly, and you have to go to the academy after eating." Cao Xiangnan said, getting up early to divide the food. Now the little ones also had to eat breakfast and hurry to the academy to go to school.
Xiao Le'er can eat some rice porridge, but Xiao Bao'er is still at the stage where he can only drink milk. The child is still young and weak, so it is not easy to feed him other things. It will be better to wait until later.
"Let's eat quickly. We have to go to the academy. If we are late, the teacher will punish us by making us stand." Xingxing remembered the day when the teacher punished the fat man by making him stand.
The children ate their meals quickly, and they were going out together. At this time, the two boys from Cao Gang's family across the street also came over. The children had to go to the academy to study together, while they were going to the town.
