The sky in the west is full of red clouds, the sky is rolling and unrolling, and a line of birds is flying across the sky. The sunset in summer is the most beautiful moment of the day. At this time, the students in the academy are out of school, and the children are walking back home in the sunset.

In the small village, the smoke from cooking is curling. When the children are out of school, the villagers start to wash rice and cook.

In Caojia Village now, the strong and wealthy young laborers in the families have gone to work, and the clever boys have also taken a job in the garment workshop. Even the poorest can plant a vegetable field and sell the vegetables from the field for a few dollars.

When there was extra money at home, the thoughtful young men would think of ways to send their children to the academy. Otherwise, if other people's children were sent to the academy, their own children would fall behind. Moreover, the academy now does not charge tuition for children aged four to seven, and only charges half of the tuition for older children, which is lower than the tuition for children studying in the private schools in the clan. Those who can afford this little money will send their children to the academy.

The families in the village no longer send their children to private schools, but to the Luyuan Academy, which caused a commotion among the village elders.

In the past, teachers in village private schools only taught a lot of nonsense. For many families, it was useless for their children to learn these things. Now it is different. When children go to academies, in addition to learning to read and write, they are also taught arithmetic and martial arts. These are the most basic learning. When they are a little older, they can also learn a craft from a teacher. After graduation, the academy will arrange a job for them.

When children go back from the academy, they can read fluently, count fluently, and fight well. Maybe they can even become the champion of martial arts in the future. Even grandparents who think that studying is useless will watch their grandchildren go to school with a smile.

Families who were waiting to see the students go to the back door and send their children to the academy. However, the seats in the academy are full, so even those who want to send their children in have to wait in line.

Several houses in the academy have been arranged as classrooms. Now, every classroom is full. Those who come early have seats, and those who come late have no seats. The houses in the yard are being built nearby. Even if there are more workers, they can't be built so quickly. "Mom..." "Mom..."

Listening to the children's shouts, Cao Xiangnan knew that the older children in the family had returned from the academy. Xingxing now follows An'an and calls Wanfeng "Mom". Xiangzi is older and more sensible, a little shy, so he still calls them "Uncle" and "Momo". All the children in the family are good to each other, go to school together, and come back together.

Liu Guizhong and Liu Shi outside the door saw several young masters coming back from the academy with small bags on their backs, and smiled and asked about the young masters. After coming to the master's house, Liu Guizhong and Liu Shi knew that the master's family valued the young masters no less than the boys, so they did not dare to be negligent in treating the two young masters.

After teasing Xiao Lele in the house, Cao Xiangnan came out when he heard the voices of several children.

As soon as An An saw his father at home, his eyes lit up, and he shouted "Dad" and ran towards his father with his short legs. Cao Xiangnan squatted down, stretched out his hand to catch An An who was running over, and held the child by the arms with both hands, and picked him up.

"Hehe..." An An loved to play with his father the most, and he laughed so hard that his bones were softened.

Seeing the child's soft smile, Cao Xiangnan kissed his little An An twice. This was his first child in this world, and his feelings for An An were different. No matter how many children he had in the future, there was always a special place in his heart for his An An.

Qi Wanfeng came out holding little Bao'er in his arms. Little Bao'er looked at his brothers at home with a pair of beautiful eyes, babbling, and no one knew what he was saying.

"Little Baoer, what are you talking about?" Xiangzi came over and reached out to touch Little Baoer's hand. Little Baoer didn't recognize his family members. When he saw his brother reaching out to hug him, he also climbed over to be hugged. Xiangzi held Little Baoer in his arms.

"Little Baoer is calling brother." Qi Wanfeng gave Little Baoer to Xiangzi and reached out to touch Xiangzi's head.

He was very relieved that Xiangzi was taking care of the child. Besides him, Little Bao's second favorite person was Xiangzi.

"Put your schoolbags away. The meal is ready. Put your schoolbags away, wash your hands and come to eat." Knowing that the children would be home at this time, the family would prepare dinner and serve the meal as soon as the children came back.

In the room, Cao Ruile, who was abandoned by his father and mother, was lying on a small bamboo mat thinking about life. The expression on his little face was deep and inconsistent with his age. When his father picked him up and fed him, he ate a lot. His chubby little face and chin were covered with two layers of fat, all from eating.

Lele had been fed rice, but he had long refused to drink milk. He refused to drink milk even when it was put in his mouth, and only wanted to eat rice. Now he has completely stopped drinking milk. Unlike Xiaobao, he is still addicted to milk and has to drink milk for three meals a day. But he has also started to be fed some porridge and soup, and his health is much better than before.

Cao Xiangnan just came back from Nanyang the day before yesterday. He also stayed at home for a few days. A part of the building at the food processing workshop was built as a workshop, and kimchi has been processed there. The finished kimchi is transported to Nanyang, and then transported to other places through Nanyang. Excluding the transportation costs in the middle, the profit is quite a lot.

He hurried back this time because the grapes at the foot of the mountain were about to ripen, so he hurried back to harvest the grapes and make wine. Last year, he made a lot of money from selling wine. The wine industry is very profitable, and it would be a pity not to do

it. At the beginning of this spring, Cao Xiangnan cultivated ten acres of grape seedlings, all at the foot of the mountain. Some died, but he went down to plant seedlings again, and finally all survived. However, the fruit was not so fast, so this year the main grapes were still wild grapes.

With last year's experience, he had a better plan for the wine this year.

With Fang the shopkeeper in Nanyang, the winery was built quickly, and it started production at the beginning of the month, and all the products were white wine. He got a big share of the profits, so he was busy with the winery in Nanyang during this period. Now that he had a break, he returned to Fenshui, but he never stopped. You

can never make enough money, but if you don't work hard when the money is right in front of you, you will feel sorry for yourself. So people work hard to make money with this mentality. Fortunately, he is still young and can still endure.

As for wine, Cao Xiangnan plans to do both. These grapes will definitely not be so fresh when they are transported to Nanyang. It is better to make wine here and then transport it over. As long as the wine is good, there will be no fear of no one buying it.

As for Nanyang, there is a winery there anyway, so grapes harvested locally can be brewed together.

On the second day, Cao Xiangnan asked Cao Gang and his friends to come over just to talk to them about brewing wine. Cao Gang and his friends did it together last year, and they all had a lot of experience in brewing this sour fruit wine. Unfortunately, Bai Shu, who was the most talented in brewing wine, was not here.

Now Cao Gang was in charge of the garment workshop, and Wei Qi and Wei Lin were also busy.

Since Liu Baishu and Wang Dahu had left, there had been no news from them until now. Cao Gang said that everything was fine, so he was not worried.

"Master, the master is here." Liu Guizhong knocked on the door and said outside.

The "Grandpa" he called was his master's father, so he should have called him "Grandpa".

However, Liu Guizhong also knew that the relationship between his master's family and his grandfather was not very harmonious. After arriving in Caojia Village, he would hear some gossip from outside when he came in and out of the village, so he called this grandfather "Grandpa" without much respect in his heart.

Hearing the word "Grandpa", Cao Xiangnan knew that his father had come. He walked over and saw his father outside the door and asked, "Father, why are you here?"

"Come in and sit down." Just yesterday he talked about what happened in the compound, and today his father came to find him. Cao Xiangnan thought that his cheap father was up to no good, but he couldn't chase him away, so he had to invite him into the house.

Father Cao came in and saw Cao Gang and others sitting inside. Among them, only Cao Gang was known to him. He smiled and said, "Gang is here too."

"Yeah." Cao Gang really didn't like Cao Xiangnan as a father, and responded coldly.

Cao Ashan was choked and didn't know what to say. He came here to find his fourth son, and it would be difficult for him to say anything with these outsiders around. He smiled awkwardly and asked, "Si'er, you are busy. I, your father, don't have anything to do..."

Cao Xiangnan rolled his eyes in his heart. Why did you come here if

you had nothing to do? "There's nothing to be busy about. Father, please sit down. I'll pour you a cup of tea." Cao Xiangnan saw that his father seemed to be hesitant to speak. He wanted to believe that his father was really fine, but even he himself didn't believe it.

He invited everyone to take a seat, and Cao Gang also stood up and said, "It's settled for now, I'll go back first."

"Okay." Knowing that his father was there, they couldn't continue discussing those things, so it would be better to wait until later when they had time to discuss them, Cao Xiangnan replied.

Cao Gang didn't even look at Cao Ashan who came, and took everyone out.

"Dad, have some tea." After all, he is the father of this body. Cao Xiangnan's relationship with the compound is lukewarm now, but it is definitely not good. He will send some gifts over during the holidays.

This year, his eldest brother and Cao Laoer's children went to school there, and he also gave some money. As for whether to send the children to school, it is their own business, and he can do it so quickly.

"I have something to talk to you, Si'er." Cao Ashan sat down on the beautiful bench, looked around the room, and then looked at his Si'er and said. After

pouring water for his father, Cao Xiangnan sat down and said, "Dad, you tell me."
