After sitting with Cao Gang for a while, it was already getting dark outside. Cao Xiangnan said goodbye and went back home, feeling relieved.
"Is Xiaobao awake?" When he got home, Xiaobao had already woken up. Seeing Wanfeng holding the child and feeding him, Cao Xiangnan pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing her husband coming back, Qi Wanfeng smiled and replied, "Yes, he woke up and asked for food."
The oil lamp was lit in the room. Under the dim light, Cao Xiangnan saw someone smiling at him tenderly. He walked over and saw Xiaobao in Wanfeng's arms. Xiaobao's beautiful eyes looked at him, and his mouth kept slurping his milk.
"Is Xiaobao feeling better now?" Cao Xiangnan asked.
"Well, it's better now. He's been eating more these days." Qi Wanfeng knew that her husband was asking about the last time her husband came back. Little Bao had a fever. The child's health was not as good as Lele's. He would feel uncomfortable from time to time, so he had to be taken care of more carefully.
The child had been eating more these days. He was willing to eat, and it was much easier to feed him.
The room was quiet, and the child had fallen asleep. Little Bao squinted his eyes while feeding, and he was about to fall asleep. They spoke in low voices, fearing that they would wake up the two little ones.
"That's good. Don't feed the child too much at once. Take it slowly." Thinking that the child had always eaten little and had a weak stomach, it would not be good for the child's health to feed him too much at once, Cao Xiangnan instructed.
"I know." Qi Wanfeng nodded, and fed the child the remaining milk in the bowl spoonful by spoonful.
Xiao Baoer looked like he was guarding his food. He would look at the person staring at him after taking a bite. The child was fair and clean, and looked a bit like his mother, who was good-looking. Judging from his little appearance, his father must be good-looking too.
They all tacitly agreed not to discuss the child's background, including who his other father was. Even though Fang Ziye was not here now and the child did not understand, they would not discuss these things in front of the child.
"The look in your eyes, are you afraid that I will steal his food?" Seeing the look in Xiao Baoer's eyes, Cao Xiangnan smiled unhappily. Qi Wanfeng naturally noticed the way Xiao Baoer looked at his husband, and smiled.
Xiao Lele had fallen asleep on the small bed, sleeping freely with his limbs spread out.
Cao Xiangnan sat down beside the bed, and seeing the child sleeping like this, he reached out to fiddle with the sleeping child out of boredom. Qi Wanfeng saw her husband fiddling with the child, and quickly reminded him, "Don't move around, or you might wake him up."
"He's sleeping like a piglet, how can he be woken up so easily." Cao Xiangnan reached out and pinched Xiao Lele's soft flesh, but he didn't want to pinch it too hard.
The sleeping child actually opened his eyelids, and the look he gave his father seemed to be rolling his eyes, as if asking his father how bored he was to be left alone in the middle of the night, and then he closed his eyes and went to sleep again.
The two people in the room noticed that the child opened his eyes and held their breath. When they saw the child close his eyes and continue to sleep, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"..." Cao Xiangnan, he seemed to be given a cold look by his little fat boy. Maybe he saw it wrong?
After feeding the last mouthful of milk to the little treasure, Qi Wanfeng took the small handkerchief beside him and wiped the corner of the child's mouth. Seeing her husband accompanying her, he said, "I've put a bowl of noodles on the table for you. Go eat it quickly. It will get mushy soon."
"Okay, I'll go right away." At this moment, he was really hungry. Seeing that Wanfeng didn't need him here, Cao Xiangnan got up and went out.
Seeing her husband go out, Qi Wanfeng retracted his gaze. At this time, Xiaobao had finished his milk, so he picked him up and walked around the house, patting the child's back and helping the child to drink the milk. The
children in the house were all asleep. This was the quietest time of the day. There was noodle soup and cakes on the table, still hot. Cao Xiangnan sat down and ate them, still thinking about the things in the shop.
After dinner, Cao Xiangnan went to the children's room to check on them. The children were all asleep and sleeping soundly. Their house was a big tiled house with green bricks. The windows were big, and the wind blew in from outside, but the house didn't feel hot. At night, the children were covered with a small thin blanket, fearing that they would get cold when sleeping at night.
Seeing that the children were sleeping well, Cao Xiangnan took a look and quietly went out.
What he didn't know was that after he left, a child on the bed opened his eyes and looked in the direction where his uncle left. When the door was closed, the child closed his eyes and went to sleep.
When he returned to the house after taking a bath, both children were sleeping in the small bed. Both children were still small and the bed was big enough, one sleeping on each side. Little Lele could still maintain his lying posture, which was very rough. Little Baoer's sleeping posture was the same as his appearance. He was also cute when he slept with his hands as a pillow.
After making love, he held the person in his arms and kissed the wet forehead of the person in his arms. The two exchanged a light kiss and did not go any further. The two hugged each other, and no one spoke, enjoying this quiet moment.
After all the worries and anxieties along the way, Cao Xiangnan's heart finally settled down when he returned home and held the person in his arms.
The sky was full of stars, twinkling quietly in the darkness. As the night deepened, everyone in the house went to sleep. The small village fell into the quietest moment of the day. Even the dog lying in front of the door closed his eyes. Occasionally, he heard some noise, opened his eyes and glanced, but did not make a sound.
This night was very quiet. Some people fell asleep, while others could not sleep.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Chen Guimei was woken up several times by her husband who shared the same bed with her. Even Chen Guimei, who was so good-tempered and wanted to worship her husband like a Buddha, had to get angry with her husband.
He woke me up several times in the night. How could I sleep?
After much effort, he finally got his master to come to his place to sleep, but he was woken up so many times. He finally woke up as soon as he fell asleep, and woke up again as soon as he fell asleep. Chen Guimei even wished that his master would go to those little goblins, so that he would not come to his place and make him unable to sleep well at night.
County Commander Wang is now restless all day long, as if his butt is sitting on a needle board. He can't sleep well at night. He can't rest during the day or go to bed, for fear that the black gauze hat on his head will be lost. He has offended someone he shouldn't offend, someone he can't afford to offend!
No, absolutely not, this black gauze hat must be kept!
"Shut up and go to sleep!" He was angry in his heart, and he shouted and went back. When he couldn't sleep in the back, County Commander Wang got up. Chen Guimei followed behind him. When she saw her husband getting dressed and about to go out, she asked, "Where are you going in the middle of the night, sir?"
"Go to sleep, it's none of your business!" County Magistrate Wang rolled out swiftly, leaving only his back to the people watching him from behind.
"Damn it!" Chen Guimei was so angry that she slapped the table. She was so angry that she couldn't stand it.
A dark night passed, and the next day dawned.
Master Chen came out of the largest brothel in the town with his servant, walking with his legs limp. He didn't know which demon had squeezed him so hard that he had no energy at all. His face was swollen and his forehead was black.
He left the ladies and servants in the mansion awake and went out to eat. The flowers at home were still not as fragrant as the wild flowers outside. Master Chen walked out with a satisfied smile on his face. He thought that the person who served him last night served him well. When he left this brothel, his face was full of aftertaste, and he thought in his heart that he would go back to the demon who served him well tonight. Little did he know that someone was waiting for him outside. When a group of yamen runners saw Master Chen coming out, they swarmed over.
"That's him, catch him!" The people standing over there sneered. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time! This method was thought up by Cao Xiangnan. Isn't Chen Guicai lustful? This word of lust is like a knife hanging over his head. Let him die because of this word of lust!
A group of yamen runners rushed forward and arrested the county master's brother-in-law.
"Who of you dares to arrest me? I am the eldest master's brother-in-law, and my brother is the wife of the county magistrate!" Chen Guicai was caught and screamed, struggling to break free, "Who of you dares to arrest me, I will let the eldest master beat you with a stick!" Chen
Guicai just took advantage of the fact that his brother was the wife of the county magistrate. It even seemed that the entire Chen family thought that they could do whatever they wanted because they had a wife of the county magistrate. Even Fenshui Town was owned by their Chen family.
"We are arresting you!" Cao Xiangnan sneered and asked, "Brother-in-law? Oh, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. You are just the brother-in-law of a county magistrate. You think you are so great that you can drug people and harm them?"
"You have no evidence. How dare you wrongly accuse me? I will let the boss arrest you and beat you with a stick!" Chen Guicai kept twisting his fat body and couldn't get away at all.
"Did we say it was you? You are asking us for evidence now. Aren't you guilty?" Seeing Chen Guicai's hesitant expression, Cao Xiangnan knew that it was most likely Chen Guicai who asked someone to do it.
They knew that this matter was closely related to Chen Guicai, and it was most likely that Chen Guicai had someone do it, but they had their suspicions in their hearts, and they also had to produce evidence, and there was also County Magistrate Wang involved. County Magistrate Wang's position was not high, but he was also a local official, and they still had to produce evidence to arrest Chen Guicai.
Don't they need evidence? Now we have the evidence.
The yamen runners arrested County Magistrate Wang's brother-in-law, and they were worried in their hearts.
"Catch him!" Cao Gang gave an order.
The yamen runners all shook their bodies and took Chen Guicai away.
