The boat returned all the way, leaving in the morning and returning in the evening. When the sun set, the boat returned to Fenshui. After settling Mr. Shen and his group at Yipinzhai, Cao Xiangnan went back home.

When he got home, it was already late. He

knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door for him was stunned when he saw him. He looked at him stupidly and didn't respond. Cao Xiangnan couldn't help laughing and asked, "Why do you look so happy when you see me back? Are you too happy?"

He almost stretched out his hand to wave in front of Wanfeng's eyes and shouted "Come back to your senses."

"No, no." Qi Wanfeng was so surprised that he was stunned for a moment before reacting. He shook his head and asked, "Husband, why are you back? I thought you would be back for a while."

The two stood at the door, one at the door, and the other at the door, just looking at each other, their eyes entangled, and no one was willing to look away.

"I came back because I missed you and the children. Do I need a reason to go home?" Taking a step forward and stepping out of the door, Cao Xiangnan pulled the person who was standing there looking at him stupidly into his arms. Only when he held the person in his arms did he know what he was thinking about, and his heart was at ease.

Unable to help but lower his head and smell the hair of the person in his arms, Cao Xiangnan said tightly, "Wanfeng, I miss you so much."

"Are you and the children all right at home?" he asked.

"Yes, the children and I are fine, and everything is fine at home." In her husband's arms, being held by her husband, Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched her husband's waist, smiled, and responded.

Since her husband left home, he has been thinking about her husband and looking forward to her return. Now that her husband has returned, he was stunned for a moment, and then realized that her husband was really back. His heart was full of joy, and he really felt her husband's warm embrace.

After a brief embrace, Cao Xiangnan let go of the person in his arms. The two looked at each other with warmth in their eyes.

This time he came back alone, in a horse-drawn carriage from the town.

The carriage outside the door was pulled in, and Liu Guizhong hurriedly came forward to pull the carriage to the back, pulled the horse into the stable and tied it up, and then came to the front. There were also several young children in the family, all standing in front of the host awkwardly.

"Well, that's good." After asking a few questions, Cao Xiangnan nodded and let go of his worries when he knew that everything was fine at home during his absence. During the time he was in Nanyang

, what he was most worried about was that Wanfeng was at home with the children, and he didn't know if everything was fine at home.

It's not that he didn't miss his family when he went out before, but this feeling became more and more intense as his feelings for the people in this family grew deeper and deeper, and the ties with this family became deeper and deeper, and this worry became more and more difficult to let go, so this time he hurried back, but he also wanted to take a look at his family.

Now when he comes back, he sees that the Liu family father and son have helped to keep everything in order at home. Liu Guizhong is in charge of all the household affairs, and his two boys and his younger brother can also help with the work in the store, which is better than he imagined.

The store in the town has been opened, and now Qi Wanfeng takes the two children to the store in the town every day, leaving early and returning late, and Liu Guizhong takes care of all the household affairs.

The Liu family all lived in the house in the backyard. His wife Liu was not in good health and would not enter this house. Now that Liu's health has gradually improved, she will also help with some work in the yard. The

children have gained some weight compared to when he first saw them. They are no longer skinny and look presentable.

Not seeing Liu here, Cao Xiangnan did not forget to ask, "How is his health now?"

"Thank you, master. Ah Hong's health is getting better now. If it weren't for the master's kindness, I, I... our family would not know what to do." Liu Guizhong's voice was choked with sobs when he said this. If he hadn't met such a good boss, his family would not know what to do now.

As he said this, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the master, but he remembered that the master had said that he was not allowed to kneel down and kowtow for no reason in the future, so he held back.

"Well, the medicine is improving. When you finish the medicine, you can take people to see Doctor Luo. If you want to take medicine, take more medicine." After listening to Liu Guizhong's words, Cao Xiangnan said.

It's good to know that Liu's health is gradually improving. He knew from Doctor Luo that Liu was not suffering from an incurable terminal disease. Although Liu can't do physical work after recuperation, it's not a big deal for her to help with some light work at home. There is no heavy work to do at home now, and even if there is any heavy work, it doesn't necessarily require Liu to do it.

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Guizhong responded repeatedly, "Thank you, master, thank you."

Several children also followed their father and said "thank you".

It was late at this time, and the children at home had all gone to bed. He stayed in the town for some time and came back late.

"Well, you don't have to thank me. If you work hard, I won't let you down. There's nothing to do here, you can all go back and rest." Cao Xiangnan waved his hand and the whole family went downstairs to rest. He was not used to being served.

He bought the people back because he thought that they could help take care of the household affairs, and the little ones could help with the chores in the store. It would not be too hard for Wanfeng to take care of the children at home alone, instead of buying people back to serve them.

After thanking the host, Liu Guizhong took the little ones out and went back to the house at the back door.

Seeing that the Liu family father and son had gone out, Cao Xiangnan followed Wanfeng to the children's room to see the children. His little An'an and Xingxing slept in the same bed, and the two children slept just right. But when he went into Xiangzi's room to see the child, the child was still awake. He patted the child's head twice and told him to go to sleep quickly.

Xiangzi was very happy to see his uncle come back, and he almost jumped out of bed.

"Go to bed quickly." Cao Xiangnan saw the look in the child's eyes and was very amused. He told him to go to bed quickly.

After leaving the child's room, they returned to their own room.

There was a small bed next to the bed. The two little guys slept on the same bed, sleeping soundly. His little boy was raised to be chubby, while Xiaobao was much thinner. From Wanfeng's mouth, he knew that Xiaobao had not been in good health recently. Cao Xiangnan whispered to him to take good care of the child.

He did not see Fang Ziye on this trip to Nanyang. He learned from Shopkeeper Fang that Fang Ziye had returned to Fengdu.

This time was different from his original world. Traveling around the earth was just a matter of taking a plane. There are thousands of mountains and rivers between Caojia Village and Fengdu, and even he himself has never been to Fengdu.

Xiaobaoer is with them. Children are not easy to raise, so they can only raise him more carefully and never let anything happen to him.

"Don't worry, husband, I will take good care of Xiaobaoer." Qi Wanfeng sighed in her heart when she heard her husband say that he didn't see Ziyu this time and saw Xiaobaoer falling asleep with his finger in his mouth.

It was pitiful that Am left his mother when the children were still young.

In addition, Xiaobao'er was not in good health on weekdays, so he would spend more time on Xiaobao'er. But his kid was the one who just needed to eat well and sleep well, so he didn't have to do a lot of things.

"Thank you for your hard work." Cao Xiangnan held the person in his arms and couldn't help kissing the person in his arms several times. He knew that it was not easy for Wanfeng to take care of several children at home alone when he was not at home.

Qi Wanfeng shook his head and said it was nothing.

Xiaobao'er cried softly at night, and the two people in the bed woke up together.

Cao Xiangnan got up and fed the child. Xiaobao looked at him with aggrieved eyes. He probably recognized him, so he sobbed twice and stopped crying, eating the milk fed to him mouthful by mouthful.

Little Lele, who was woken up, was very calm. He opened his eyelids and closed them again.

After feeding the child and seeing that the child fell asleep, Cao Xiangnan carefully put the child back to the crib, got on the bed, and slept with his wife who had also woken up. This time, he slept until dawn, and the two little ones woke up.

I don’t know if they knew he was back, but Xiaobao didn’t cry when he woke up that day. The two children lay in a small bed, babbling and I don’t know what they were saying. Cao Ruile was very happy to see his father coming back. He opened his mouth with no teeth and gums showing, babbling, waving his fat fists. The

children in the family woke up early in the morning and were very happy to see their father/uncle coming back. Several children rushed over. Cao Xiangnan hugged this one and touched that one. He was so happy.

With someone to help with the housework, they felt much more relaxed.

After breakfast, the children who were going to the academy carried their schoolbags and went to the academy. The children from both families went to the academy together.

Cao Gang came to his house. He knew that Cao Xiangnan had returned yesterday, so he did not come here either.

The two sat down and drank a cup of tea. Cao Xiangnan also learned from Cao Gang about some things that happened in the village and the academy during the time he was away from Caojia Village. Before he went to Nanyang, he had made arrangements for things here. Now that he is back, there is nothing big happening on both sides.

With Li Zheng and the village chief Cao Gang in charge of the village affairs, Caojia Village is much better now than it used to be. It has completely changed. There were no big things happening at the academy, but there were some small things, which Cao Gang had handled.

So even if he went to Nanyang, he didn't need to worry too much about this.

"That's good." After hearing what Cao Gang said, Cao Xiangnan was relieved, but he wanted to find the right person to manage the academy. He also wanted to hand over the affairs of the academy to others to manage. After all, there would always be something inappropriate when he was in charge.

The two sat down and drank two cups of tea and chatted for a while.

At this time, the shops in the town were also going to open for business. Wanfeng and Bailian were going to the town, and they all went to the town together.
