The people standing at the dock watched the big ship go away. Qi Wanfeng had reluctance in his eyes, holding the delicate and beautiful little Baoer in his arms.

His mother was holding the crybaby little Baoer again. The crybaby got candy, but he couldn't cry with them. Cao Ruile reluctantly accepted the hug of others, twisted his little face, and watched the big ship go away. The expression on his face was indescribable.

It must be said that Xiao Lele also liked his father very much.

In the past two days since Cao Xiangnan came back, he often held his little son to play, and the relationship between father and son has always been very good.

"Ah ah..." Xiao Lele stretched out his little fat hand, pointed in the direction of the ship's departure, and shouted.

"What are you talking about? Your father is gone, you must be reluctant to let him go." Sun Bailian looked down at Xiao Lele's appearance and asked.

Following Sun Bailian's gaze, Qi Wanfeng also saw his little Le'er pointing in the direction where his father left and shouting. He couldn't help but laugh and told his little Le'er, "Dad will be back after he finishes his work over there. You and mom will wait for dad to come back at home, but you must listen to mom obediently." "Ahhh..." Little Le'er responded.

Compared to Lele, who is a few months older, Xiaobao'er is still younger. Being held in the familiar arms, he doesn't know who left. He is about to fall asleep with his eyes half closed.

"Let's go back. It's windy here and Xiaobao'er is almost asleep." Qi Wanfeng lowered his head and glanced at Xiaobao'er who was about to fall asleep in his arms. Xiaobao'er is in poor health and needs careful care.

The big ship was no longer visible, and her husband's boat was heading towards Nanyang. She wanted to take good care of the children and wait for her husband to come back at home.

The group of people standing on the dock left together. Little Lele still turned his head to look at the direction where his father left. He turned his head back and nestled in the arms of the person holding him. His little face was depressed.

When they could no longer see that place, the big ship entered the river. Cao Xiangnan stood at the bow and looked at the river. There were high mountains on both sides. This was different from the world he lived in before. Here, every time he went out of the door, he was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. He

was reluctant to leave just after he left, and he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

This time, Shen Zhengyang came to Fenshui with him, and Cao Xiangnan also did his best to be a good host and entertained them well. Compared to the prosperous Nanyang, a small place like Fenshui Town doesn't have much fun. He took people to visit Fenshui Town, went to Caojia Village, and also visited his home.

The affairs of the village are handled by Li Zheng and the village chief, followed by two deputy village chiefs and some other people. It is no longer the place where the village chief and the elders have the final say. Caojia Village is much more peaceful now, and there are not so many incidents.

Every family has its own things to do. Many families in the village have split up. Even if they don't split up, the young brothers will send their children to the academy to study. If there are grandfathers and grandmothers who oppose it, they will have to split up and live their own lives in the end.

Many things in Caojia Village are different now. Children are sent to school, young people have things to do, and the family has money every day. Life is completely different from before. The

courses offered in the academy were also decided after discussion. Zheng Shubo is a scholar after all, and this fame makes him different in everyone's eyes. Later, Cao Xiangnan also invited the village doctor Sun Lao to be a teacher in the academy and opened a pharmacology class, mainly to teach some children to recognize some herbs and how to use them.

In this world, it is very necessary to learn some pharmacology. If you encounter something, this is a life-saving skill.

He also planned to invite Dr. Luo to be his teacher. He didn't have to be here every day. He could just spare some time every seven days to come and give a class. He had talked to Dr. Luo about this matter. Dr. Luo did have this idea, but he was too busy. If the town wanted to come, the clinic would have to make other arrangements.

The last time he talked to Luo Ronghuan about growing herbs, he bought a few acres of land in the spring and hired people to grow herbs. Every day he rolled up his pants and went to the fields to grow herbs himself. He no longer rushed to do business outside. The happiest people were his pregnant wife at home, and his father and mother.

The ship was far away from that piece of land, and those people and things were gradually moving away from him. He retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Zhengyang who was standing with him at the bow. Cao Xiangnan said, "Let's go in." "It will take a while for the ship to reach Nanyang so quickly. After blowing the wind at the bow for a while, they went into the cabin to rest.

The shops in the town opened for business. The two shops connected together, the shop selling cakes sold much better in the morning. After opening for such a period of time, the shop also gradually accumulated some customers. Regular customers came to buy cakes early in the morning.

Both stores are the most popular with the boys and children in the town. After the morning, the number of people coming to the Malatang store to eat will gradually increase around noon.

"Goodbye, come back next time." After collecting the money, Aning smiled and said to the departing customers.

At noon, the seats in the store were almost full, and the business in the store was extremely good.

Such good business will naturally attract envy. At this time of meal, some of the nearby stores only have three or two people eating. Before these two stores, no matter how bad their business was, there were still people eating at noon. Now that these two stores have opened, their business has plummeted, and there are only a few people eating at noon.

Some people saw that the shop was full of people, and those who went in later had to wait outside because there was no room left. They were very jealous.

But in business, everyone has their own ability. If other people's business is good and yours is not, who can you blame? You can only say that you have no ability.

Two people walked into a shop diagonally opposite Malatang.

"The business over there is so good, didn't they steal all the customers from your store?" These seemingly unintentional words aroused the dissatisfaction of the store owner's brother, "That's right, since they opened, there are only a few people eating in our store right now." The boss at the side couldn't stop his own daughter-in-law even if he wanted to. Fortunately, the business in this store has been bad recently, so it's just the two of them eating at this moment, and no one else can hear what they are saying.

Since the business in the store was bad, the two assistants who used to do odd jobs were asked to go back. The couple are the only ones busy in this small store. There is no business and nothing to do, so the whole day is very quiet.

"Do you want to improve the business in the store?" The voice was filled with ill intentions.

"Yes! Of course!" The boy next to him answered without thinking.

As long as the business in their store improves, her husband won't have to worry about the store all day long. If the store can't continue to run, they will have to close the store and go back to the village to farm. He doesn't want to live like this.

"I have an idea that can improve your business. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate." "What idea?" The ears that leaned over heard whispers that only they could hear. The honest man waved his hands and said firmly, "No, no, absolutely not." At worst, he could close the store. If no one comes to eat here, he can only blame his poor cooking skills. He has heard that the food in that store is delicious.

If the shop couldn't continue, he would sell it. He had run the shop for so many years and made a lot of money. He could use the money to buy a dozen acres of land in the village and rent it out to others for farming. He would not have to worry about the money for food and drink every year. He could live comfortably and there was no need to do such a thing that would harm others.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. Go back and think about it carefully. It will definitely benefit you. But if you don't do it..." The man didn't say anything else, but his eyes, like a venomous snake, made people know that the next words would not be good.

"You, you guys!" After the two men left, the honest man sat down on the stool next to him.

"Husband, we..." Before he could finish his words, his husband looked at him and he shut up and dared not say any more.

The two people who left, one asked the one who was with him, "Will they really do it?" "Just wait!" The meaning was clear.

While his husband was not paying attention, the boy found an excuse and went outside. He met the two people who had just left their store in the alley. After looking around, he saw that there were only three of them in the alley. The boy was relieved.

"After this is done, you will definitely benefit from it." He took out a purse from his arms and handed it to the other person, along with a small thing wrapped in oil paper. There was a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.

He took a money bag and a small packet of paper from the other party, hid them in his sleeves, and said, "Don't worry." The three people who met disappeared into the alley very quickly, and the boy returned to the store as if nothing had happened. His wife asked him where he had been just now, and he made an excuse to get away with it. His husband didn't suspect anything.

After noon, the number of people who came to the store to eat gradually decreased. The small bucket was filled with a lot of copper plates, including a few small silver coins. After being busy for half a day and sweating all over her head, Aning was also happy, with a bright smile on her face, and even her eyebrows were curved.

Most of the people who come to the store to eat are boys and children, and his appearance will not attract the covetousness of some people and bring him trouble.

After opening a store in Xiangnan, he can earn a lot of money after being busy all day long. He is very happy that his children can live a good life with him.

No matter how good his life was in the past, it is not as fulfilling and happy as it is now. He thinks he likes his current life, and he has his children with him and several close friends around him. This is a life he never thought of before.

"Boss, it's time to collect the money." Someone shouted inside.

"Yeah, I'm coming..." Aning responded, turned around and went inside.
