The sky cleared up after the rain, and the washed sky was particularly clean. The sun set, and the faint afterglow sprinkled on the earth. There was still water on the ground, and the passing carriage splashed water. The windows were lifted, and several children's heads were squeezed in the windows, chattering all the way, with excitement and excitement on their little faces. As

soon as the carriage stopped, the boys in the carriage jumped out one by one without being held by anyone. Cao Xiangnan, who got off the car, saw that An An was going to jump with him. He looked at his little An An seriously, and the child immediately became obedient.

"Dad." Cao Ruian smiled and looked at his dad obediently, opening his arms and waiting for his dad to hold him down.

That's good!

Cao Xiangnan reached out and took the child down, and then there was another child behind him who took both children down together. As for the naughty boys, he was too lazy to care about them. Fearing that Sun Bailian would worry, he sent Kang Kang and Jing Bao home first, saying, "You go home first, and come back if you want to come to uncle's house later."

"Okay, thank you uncle, goodbye." The two children thanked their uncle and ran to the opposite house.

Their father had appeared at the doorway at some point, and the two children shouted at the top of their voices from a distance, "Dad..." They ran towards their father with their short legs. Cao Gang, who was standing there, caught the two children and touched their heads with his big hands. Cao Xiangnan looked up and saw Cao Gang standing at the doorway, and said, "I just happened to go to the academy, and I brought a few children back with me."

Cao Gang nodded to Cao Xiangnan, and the two of them said hello.

Only their two families lived here, and the children of the two families went to the academy to study together every morning, and came back together after school. The older one took the younger one, and they went and came back together, and the adults didn't have to worry about it. They didn't have the habit of picking up the children from school.

Today, Cao Xiangnan happened to go to the academy. The road was not easy to walk on this rainy day, so he took the children back after school. The children were very happy when their parents came to pick them up. After all, children were still children, and they all liked to ride in a carriage.

"Let's go, we're going home." After waving to Cao Gang on the opposite side, Cao Xiangnan let the children in. The children of both families were reluctant to say goodbye, which made him helpless.

They had been together all day, and they were so noisy when they were separated for such a short while that it was like parting.

Hearing the noise outside, Qi Wanfeng also came out of the house. Seeing her husband and the children coming back together, she knew that her husband had gone to pick up the children. Dinner was ready at this time, so it was just right for her husband and the children to come back and have dinner.

"…I just happened to pick up a few kids to bring back together. The road is muddy on rainy days, so they don't have to walk back by themselves." Cao Xiangnan explained to him as he walked into the house with Wanfeng.

"Don't get used to them. Let them walk back by themselves in the future. If they have to pick you up on rainy days, I wonder what you will do." Qi Wanfeng said as she saw the kids running ahead, smiled at her husband, and said.

This is true. Cao Xiangnan felt that what his wife said made sense. He said, "You are right."

Qi Wanfeng smiled when he heard what his husband said.

"Yes, I asked Liu Erzi to go to the academy to get a job." Cao Xiangnan said, remembering this incident.

Liu Erzi had been doing hard labor for so long, and Cao Xiangnan had been helping him take care of his blind grandmother for so long. Compared to Cao Laoer who is hopelessly lazy and gluttonous, Liu Erzi at least has hope of being saved.

Liu Erzi came back with Cao Laoer. Cao Xiangnan has never seen Liu Erzi until now, but he remembers him. It is not difficult to arrange a job for him now. As long as the other party is willing to do it, he will not starve to death.

Unlike Cao Laoer, who thought he was going to be a boss when he went to the construction site, he ran away in shame after suffering no hardship. At least for a while, no one dared to come to his place to bother him.

However, you often underestimate the degree of shamelessness of some people, and Cao Laoer is one of the best.

"That's good." Qi Wanfeng remembered Liu Ama. After all, she was a poor person. It would be best if Liu Erzi could come back, and Liu Ama would have someone to take care of him. It was a good thing that her husband arranged a job for Liu Erzi. If Liu Erzi could go to work, the family would have some income, and the days would be better and better.

The two big dogs were very excited to see their master and the little masters coming back together. They circled around their master. Cao Xiangnan reached out and patted the two dogs on the head. The two dogs followed behind them, but did not follow them into the house. They squatted at the door. There

was a cool mat on the floor in the living room. Lele and Xiaobaoer both changed into open-crotch pants. The weather was hot, and it would be cooler for the children to wear less. The two children were also carried from their small beds to the cool mat.

The little white fox that always liked to curl up beside Lele to sleep in the past now likes to sleep in a high place. The beam on the roof is so high, and no one knows how the little white fox got up there. A big tail hangs down, swinging back and forth.

The children who came back threw away their small schoolbags, took off their shoes and ran to the sun mat. Xiangzi reached out to pick up Lele, and An'an took his brother with one hand, shouting happily, "Brother, brother, brother is back."

His father and mother taught him to take good care of his brother since he was a child, and he remembered it all.

"..." Cao Ruile, who was sleepy and looked like he hadn't woken up yet, stared at the brother who was shouting so loudly in his ear, with a little excited face. His tied little face couldn't hide his baby fat.

The little white fox on the beam stretched out its head and glanced at Cao Ruile who was being ravaged below. Its foxy face was full of self-pity. As if it felt the pitiful look of the little white fox, Cao Ruile looked up, and his chubby face tightened even more, and his double chin became more obvious.

When Qi Wanfeng came back with his husband, he saw that the little ones had all climbed onto the sun mat. He shouted, "An'an, Xiangzi, you can just let Lele and Xiaobao lie there. Go wash your hands and have dinner."

"Okay." The children responded crisply.

Qi Wanfeng still walked over with concern, took Lele from the children's hands, and put him down to lie down. Little Baoer had also woken up at this time. When he saw him, he babbled and called out, meaning that he wanted him to hold him. He had no choice but to reach out and pick up the child.

When he finally escaped from the clutches of a few little devils, little Cao Ruile didn't even breathe a sigh of relief, and was still worried about them.

His real father is back!

"If he keeps eating, this kid will turn into a piglet. When he is fatter, he can be slaughtered and eaten." Cao Xiangnan, the unscrupulous father, bullied his son again. He was full of disgust as soon as he opened his mouth. He pinched his son's face rudely with his hand, but he didn't want to use too much force, and two red marks were left on the chubby face.

"..." Cao Ruile stared with his eyes wide open, his eyes were about to pop out, but it was a pity that he was smaller than him and was completely ignored by his real father.

"What are you talking about, husband, please don't bully the child." Seeing that her husband loved to bully her son as soon as he came back, Qi Wanfeng was helpless and picked up the little treasure to feed him water. As soon as the bottle was fed to his mouth, the little treasure waved his little hands and drank the water in the bottle mouthful by mouthful.

There are a few strange little bottles at home. Just fill them with water and put them into the child's mouth, and then feed them to the child and let him eat by himself. These little bottles were made by Cao Xiangnan at the hands of a craftsman in the south of Nanyang. The store there sells them, and he also brought a few home, which is convenient for feeding the child milk and water.

Xiao Baoer is willing to drink obediently, and now he has learned to suck the nipple. But Xiao Lele spits out the nipple as soon as it is put into his mouth, and he has to let people feed him with a small spoon one spoonful at a time.

"It's not bullying, I just love this kid." Cao Xiangnan said with a bright smile.

His father's white teeth made Xiao Lele's eyes widen, and Xiao Lele stared at his father.

When the father and son met eyes, Cao Xiangnan thought his son's expression was so cute. This kid looked so smart, which was totally inconsistent with his age. But Cao Xiangnan, as a father, would not let his imagination run wild. His greatest pleasure every day when he came home was to "play with his son."

"Husband, come and have dinner." He had already fed the two children, so he didn't have to take care of them for now. Qi Wanfeng fed Xiao Baoer some water, and the other children came back after washing their hands. It was time for the children to have dinner too.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Cao Xiangnan reluctantly put his chubby son back on the couch, saying, "I'll come back to play with you after I'm done eating." When

Cao Ruile heard this, he looked hopeless.

Finally, his father put him down and he lay back on the cool mat. Little Cao Ruile stared at the beam on the roof with his big round eyes, thinking about life.

After watching the little devils run away, the little white fox walked over the beam with its paws furred, and jumped down from the height one step at a time. After jumping down from the height, its little paws landed silently on the cool mat, and it squatted with its small body. Its tail was bigger than its body. After being raised

for so long, it was still the size of a palm and had not gained any weight. I don’t know where all the food it was fed went.

The table in the dining room was set with food, three dishes and a soup, with meat and vegetables, enough for the two adults and several children. The family also ate very simply, with a combination of meat and vegetables, ensuring that there was fish for the children every day. In just six months, the children had grown a lot.

It was time for dinner at the host's house, and Liu took his little brother back to eat with them.

At this time, smoke was rising from the small village. The faster families had already set out their meals and started to eat dinner, and the slower families were about to have dinner. In Caojia Village today, many families would buy meat every two or three days, and those who were willing to spend money would let their children eat meat every meal.

Compared to the past when they could not even fill their stomachs for three meals a day, Caojia Village has changed a lot today. Three meals a day are enough, and people are gradually starting to eat better. Children are sent to academies, and some families are starting to build new houses. Life is getting better, and family relationships are harmonious, and everything is harmonious.
