"Drive..." The carriage was running fast on the avenue, and the people sitting in the carriage were eager to return
home. Cao Xiangnan didn't expect that such a thing would happen at home just a few days after he left home. After receiving the letter from Manager Liu, he hurried back. It was already the third day since he came back. He swung the whip on the horse's butt, and the horse ran faster.
Even though he knew that the people at home were fine, he couldn't stop worrying in his heart, afraid that if something happened when he was not at home, Wanfeng would not be able to handle it alone.
"馭——" He pulled the reins hard and the horse stopped.
He jumped off the carriage before it stopped, stepped hurriedly into the courtyard and went home.
As soon as the sharp-eyed children looked up, they saw the uncle who had returned. Xiangzi was the first to jump up from his chair, shouting "Uncle Xiangnan" and rushing towards the uncle who had returned.
"Dad..." An'an's little face was full of smiles when she saw the returning dad, and she also ran towards the dad, followed by two others.
Hearing the children's shouts, Qi Wanfeng subconsciously raised her head and saw her husband who had returned.
Cao Xiangnan saw several children running one after another, bent down to catch the children who were running, and touched the heads of several little radishes. He asked the children if they were well-behaved at home, and his eyes were looking at the person who was looking at him.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air, you are in me, I am in you, and there is tenderness in it.
"Ahh..." Even little Cao Ruile heard his father's voice, and he excitedly twisted his fat little body in his mother's arms, trying to go to his father. Qi Wanfeng had no choice but to smile and carry the child to his husband, and little Cao Ruile went into his father's arms.
Cao Xiangnan reached out to catch the child, held the little fat boy in his arms, and asked, "Little Lele misses your father too, right?" His eyes were on Qi Wanfeng who was standing in front of him. When he saw him standing in front of him and looking into his eyes with the familiar tenderness, his anxious heart calmed down at this moment.
"Ahh..." The child cried as if responding to him.
Little Cao Ruile successfully let his father hold him. He was babbling something, but his wrinkled eyebrows and pouting mouth were so cute that Cao Xiangnan couldn't let go of his kid.
But does he need to lose weight? If he gets fatter, he won't be held.
"I see Lele is the closest to you, his father." Qi Wanfeng couldn't help but smile when he saw the loving scene between the father and son. He was not jealous of the child being close to her husband, and he also hoped that the child would be close to her husband.
Seeing Cao Xiangnan coming back, Aning smiled and said, "Xiangnan, you're back."
"Manager Liu sent me a letter and told me what happened to you guys in the shop in town, so I hurried back." Cao Xiangnan nodded. He knew what happened in the shop, so he couldn't not come back.
As soon as he arrived in town, he went to Manager Liu's shop and got a rough idea of the situation.
"The shop is temporarily closed, so I hope you're fine." He said.
"Yeah, it's been closed for several days, and we don't have anything to do." Aning replied.
"That's good." As long as no one is hurt, it's no big deal to close the shop. Cao Xiangnan even thought about closing the shop so that he can make money alone at home, and Wanfeng can take care of the children and enjoy life.
But as soon as this thought came up, he suppressed it. He was more concerned about the wishes of this person instead of imposing his own wishes on this person.
To him, Qi Wanfeng was the same as him, instead of just giving birth to and raising children for him at home. In this regard, Cao Xiangnan respected Wanfeng very much. He didn't back down when he encountered a little problem and never went down this path again.
"Husband, you didn't eat anything on the boat, right? I'll make you a bowl of noodles." Seeing that Husband had come back, Qi Wanfeng knew that Husband probably didn't eat anything on the boat, and was afraid that Husband was hungry, so he asked.
"Don't worry, let's sit for a while, and we can eat noodles later. I ate something on the boat, and I'm not hungry now." He had eaten some dry food on the boat, but he was hungry now. As soon as he came back, Cao Xiangnan didn't want to let this person run around to serve him.
Holding the little fat boy in his arms, Cao Xiangnan went to the sofa in the living room and sat down with the child, "You guys sit down too." There were a few children following him, chattering with him about the academy. He asked the children what they had learned from the teacher in the academy.
From the children's mouths, he learned the most directly from their words about the teachers in the academy teaching the children. Zheng Shubo was there, and the teaching plan for this half semester was to teach the children who were enrolled and the adults who had signed up to go to school to read and recognize words. In the case that most people don't even know words, reading and recognizing words are the most basic courses.
Listening to the words of her husband and several children, Qi Wanfeng smiled and poured a glass of water for her husband, and also sat down, "Husband, let me do it." Reaching out to take the child, little Cao Ruile also went to his mother's arms.
At this moment, Xiaobao was sleeping in the room and didn't stick to him. At this time, he could take care of some things at home and hug his little Le'er.
Seeing her husband back, she was happy.
With such a thing happening in the shop, she, a brother with several kids at home, was also afraid. Although Cao Gang and the shopkeeper Liu had handled all the matters, their shop was closed and they could not open it. When they returned to Caojia Village, Qi Wanfeng was thinking that it would be great if her husband could come back.
Unexpectedly, her husband really came back. Needless to say, her husband received a letter from here and knew what happened here, so he rushed back.
Even if Cao Xiangnan already knew what happened in the shop before he came back, he still asked about it now. Listening to Wanfeng and Aning repeating the story to him again, he asked in detail about the situation in the store on the day the incident happened.
"Didn't you notice any suspicious people coming into the store that day?" Cao Xiangnan definitely didn't believe that there was something wrong with their food. Their store has been doing so well since it opened, and it is easy to attract envy. It is not ruled out that someone deliberately framed them, causing someone to eat their food and get an upset stomach.
Fortunately, it was just an upset stomach. If he ate a dead person, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to release the person as it is now. I'm afraid that when he comes back, he will have to go to the prison in the government office to visit his family members and several others.
"Aning." Qi Wanfeng shook his head. He was not in the shop selling spicy hotpot. Most of the time, he was selling cakes. So that day, he only knew that someone came to the back to make trouble, saying that they were upset because of the food in their shop.
If there was anything to ask, Aning and Sun Bailian knew it. They were in that shop, so they could only be asked about the matters in the shop.
"I didn't notice it." Aning also shook his head. At noon, too many people came to eat in the restaurant. He was too busy serving the dishes. How could he have time to pay attention to other things? He also knew that it was very likely that someone had tampered with their food that day, but they couldn't catch anyone now, so they had to bear the consequences themselves.
"Think carefully, all of you, think about whether you met any suspicious people that day, or anything happened that made you feel special." This is a very critical point. Whether they can clear this charge depends on themselves, Cao Xiangnan said.
"Yeah." In fact, Aning has been thinking about it for the past two days, but he just can't come up with a clue.
The sun set in the west, and it will soon be dark. Several children also need to take a bath and go to bed.
Now that the weather is hot, the children have grown up. Except for the two young ones who need help bathing and dressing, the other three children, including Xuanxuan, do not need help bathing and dressing.
The children are handed over to Wanfeng and Aning, and Liu's second brother Liu Lan will come in to help with the housework. As for Liu Guizhong and the other two boys, they will not come into the house at this time, and they will stay in the house in the backyard.
After Liu's health improved, she can also help with the housework every day.
So even though there are many children and people in the family now, everything is kept in order, and Liu Guizhong's family has made great contributions.
Now that the shops in the town are closed, Qi Wanfeng is also free. The children in the family have all gone to school, and only the two youngest ones are still around. Lele can already roll over. Now that he is a little older, little Lele also likes to move around a little. He no longer lies down all day long except for eating and sleeping. However, his chubby body has not changed at all.
Seeing that his father is going out, little Lele lets his mother hold him and does not make a fuss to go with him.
"I'm going to visit Brother Cao Gang and will be back soon." He did not get any useful information from Wanfeng and Aning. Now that he is back, Cao Xiangnan is also going to visit Cao Gang to see how the investigation is going.
"Okay." Qi Wanfeng nodded and sent her husband out. He did not go with her husband to the other side at this moment. He also had to take care of the children at home, so he did not go with them.
Seeing Cao Xiangnan coming back, Cao Gang was not surprised at all. He asked him to sit down, poured water for him, and the two of them sat down. When
Sun Bailian saw Cao Xiangnan coming back, she greeted him, and the two children also called him "Uncle Xiangnan". Cao Xiangnan touched the heads of the two children and asked if the children were well behaved and how their studies were going recently. The two children responded to him one by one. Later, Sun Bailian took the two children away, knowing that her husband and the others had something to say.
