The sun set in the mountains, the last clouds in the west gradually dissipated, it was getting dark, the small village gradually became quiet, people who had worked hard all day were packing up the last things and preparing to close the door and go to sleep.

"Pah pah pah--" the door in the yard was closed, and the sudden knocking on the door outside disturbed the people inside. The two dogs inside were barking, and it was obvious that the person who came was not an acquaintance. The servants at home had already opened the door when they heard the sound.

"Who is outside?" Who is knocking on the door at this time? What's the urgent matter? Liu Guizhong asked standing at the door.

"Open the door... open the door..." accompanied by the knocking on the door.

"Brother, who are you looking for? What's the matter?" Liu Guizhong frowned and opened the door. He saw the brother standing outside the door. Seeing the other party's anxious expression, he asked.

"Where is my fourth brother? Is he in there?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, Cao Chunqing hurriedly pushed the old man who opened the door and went inside, shouting, "Fourth brother, fourth brother..."

"Hey, brother, why did you go in!" He didn't even go in to inform the master. Liu Guizhong, a loyal and honest man, had never met such a wild brother. He chased after him and wanted to stop him.

Fourth brother? Could this be the eldest brother of their master?

Liu Guizhong would go to the village every day to buy meat and vegetables. He also heard some gossip in the village. He heard that a son of their master's family married into a wealthy family in the town and became a concubine. Jin'er was sent back to her parents' home by her husband's family. Could this be the Cao Sangeer that Jin'er's village talked about, the third brother of their master's family?

Liu Guizhong really guessed it right. It was Cao Chunqing who came.

He waited in the house for two days, but his fourth brother did not come. There was no news at all. The days back to his parents' home were like years. Cao Chunqing could no longer sit still. He knew that he had a bad reputation in the village and was afraid of being seen by the villagers. He did not dare to go out during the day. He took advantage of the fact that it was getting dark and there were not so many people in the village, so he dared to come to his fourth brother.

Cao Xiangnan, who was in the house, heard the voice of his third brother and suddenly had a headache. He walked to the door and saw Cao Chunqing striding in, followed by Liu Guizhong who was trying to stop him. He said, "Uncle Liu, this is my third brother, just let him in. There is nothing for you to do here, you go down first."

"Yes, yes, master." After hearing this, Liu Guizhong did not try to stop the man anymore. He took a look at the brother who just broke in and retreated.

"Fourth brother!" Cao Chunqing took two or three steps forward and grabbed his fourth brother's hand. After seeing him, he looked anxious and didn't know what to ask.

"Third brother, come in and sit down first." Cao Xiangnan knew why his third brother came here. Now that everyone was in, he couldn't just kick them out, so he had to invite them into the house.

Cao Chunqing nodded and followed his fourth brother in.

At this moment, several children in the family had taken a bath. It was not dark yet. Lele and Xiaobaoer were not asleep yet. Xiaobaoer was in a good mood today and giggled non-stop. Even Lele was no longer sleepy and was in good spirits.

Qi Wanfeng was playing in the living room with the two little ones. An Anxiangzi and the other older ones were also playing with the two little ones. The living room was full of laughter and noise, and they were so happy.

Seeing the people coming in, Qi Wanfeng stood up and said, "Third brother is here."

As soon as Cao Chunqing entered the house, he saw a group of children surrounding Qi Wanfeng. His eyes were fixed on the smile on Qi Wanfeng's face. A trace of jealousy flashed through his heart. His fourth brother is now rich and lives in a big house. The children in his family live better than his Shouer and Fuer. He said "hmm" with a stiff face. In his heart, he has always disliked this brother who is stronger than a man. He thinks Qi Wanfeng is not worthy of his fourth brother. It's a pity that his fourth brother is unwilling to welcome the two brothers he sent into the house. Wouldn't it be better to have more people to serve him?

"Husband, Third Brother, the children should be asleep now. I'll take them back to the house to sleep." Qi Wanfeng saw that his Third Brother had a gloomy face. He looked away and didn't care. He looked at his husband and said,

"Third Brother, please sit down first. I'll take the children in first." Cao Xiangnan noticed the look in his Third Brother's eyes when he looked at Wanfeng, which made him unhappy. He deliberately ignored his Third Brother. Since he had come to his home, he hoped that Cao Chunqing would treat Wanfeng as the other half of the owner of this home and not have any other thoughts.

If he didn't even have this little respect for his wife, his family really didn't welcome people like Cao Chunqing. Qi Wanfeng picked up Xiao Baoer, and Xiangzi picked up Fat Lele with both hands with great effort. In the middle of the way, two hands reached out and took Lele away. Cao Xiangnan took Lele over. The little fat boy was quite heavy. He smiled and kissed the child on the face, saying, "Okay, you should go back to the room and sleep."

After being kissed, Lele looked at his father with some disgust and turned his face away.

An An grabbed his brother's little feet and had fun holding them in his palms. This made the ticklish Cao Ruile kick his feet constantly, but he didn't shake off the little hands holding his feet. This made Cao Ruile want to cry but he couldn't.

Seeing that his fourth brother had left him here, the whole family went into the house. Cao Chunqing stood there with an even uglier face. Cao Xiangnan carried Lele into the house and put him on their little bed. The two little ones are still sleeping in their room. The little treasure can't leave anyone alone, and he wakes up at night to have another feeding.

They did try to put the child to sleep in the next room, but the child woke up in the middle of the night and cried miserably because he couldn't see anyone. After trying twice, he had no choice but to acquiesce to the two little ones staying in his room. It seemed that he could only

wait until the little one was older before making plans. It would be best if Fang Ziye could come and take his clingy child back home. But it seemed a bit difficult. Since the person left, they had not seen Fang Ziye except for correspondence. He heard from Manager Fang that their boss was in Fengdu. Unless he could go to Fengdu this time, he could see him.

"Okay, you all go back to your own rooms and sleep." Cao Xiangnan touched An'an's head. Seeing the little guy staring at the big bed in his room with longing, he just pretended not to see it. In his heart, he warned himself that he must not be soft-hearted and leave a bunch of big light bulbs in their room, otherwise his welfare would be gone.

"Oh." Cao Ruian raised his eyelids and gave his father a look. He felt that his father didn't love him at all, and cast his eyes on his mother.

Qi Wanfeng looked away, with a helpless look on his face, and looked at his husband, asking with his eyes if he could let the children sleep in the room.

Cao Xiangnan gave his wife a look that said "don't even think about it" and said to the children, "Okay, you all go back to bed. Don't you have an exam tomorrow? Go back to bed early and do your best on the exam. I'll take you to Nanyang after you finish."

There will be exams tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After the children finish their exams, he will take the whole family to Nanyang, and it's time to go there.

"Dad, really? Take An'an to Nanyang." Cao Ruian's eyes widened with surprise, and he asked, "And Xiangzi and Xingxing will go with you."

The two children next to him also looked at their uncle eagerly.

They had never been to Nanyang, but they had heard about it from their father/uncle. It was a place with a lot of things, bigger than Fenshui Town, and there were a lot of delicious food and fun things. All the fun things at home were brought back from Nanyang by their father.

"Yes, it's true." Cao Xiangnan touched the heads of the kids, nodded to them, and promised, "I'll take you there

after you finish your exams. Now go back to sleep first, so you can have energy for the exams." Didn't he tell them in advance that he would take them to Nanyang after they finished their exams? He thought about it in his mind, and it seemed that he had only told his wife about it, but he really forgot to tell her when the kids mentioned it.

But it's not too late to tell her now, right? It can also be used to coax the kids to go back to sleep.

"Dad, Mom, let's go back to the house and sleep." An An turned around and called his friends, then said to his dad and mom.

Qi Wanfeng smiled and replied, "Okay."

"You just stay in the house, I'll take them back first." Cao Xiangnan said to Qi Wanfeng, his third brother was still waiting outside. Whether he wanted to pay attention to him or not, he had to go out since everyone was outside.

Qi Wanfeng also understood, and said "um". He was still holding Xiao Baoer in his arms, and he had to coax the child for a while before he would go to sleep.

Like all children, they are well-behaved and obedient when they are young, but they are not so obedient as they grow older, and they have to find ways to coax and deceive them. Cao Xiangnan followed the children and sent them back to the house before going out.

There were people waiting in the hall. Cao Chunqing had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Seeing that the sky outside was getting darker and darker,

Cao Xiangnan came out and saw his three buttocks sitting there waiting for him uncomfortably. When he saw him come out, he stood up and said with a smile, "Sit down, Third Brother, no need to stand up." He walked over and sat down opposite his Third Brother, took out a teacup and poured two glasses of water in his hand, handed one to the person opposite him, and took a sip of the cup himself.

"Fourth brother, what happened?" Cao Chunqing was asking about his fourth brother helping him go back to Wang's house to find the grandfather. He was anxious to know when the grandfather would send someone to pick him up, so he asked, "Did you see my grandfather?"

"...I did see him." Cao Xiangnan had something else in his words. He couldn't just say directly that he saw the person. The other party didn't even give him room for discussion, got on the carriage and left, leaving him with only a back view?

"Saw it?!" Cao Chunqing was surprised and asked, "Did the master say when to send someone to pick me up?" "This, Master Wang didn't say it clearly. Master Wang told you to reflect on yourself at home. He will comfort the people at home and send someone to pick you up later." Cao Xiangnan was thinking about how to speak more tactfully in his heart so as not to irritate his crazy third brother.

If it were any other time, Cao Chunqing would have known something was wrong when Cao Xiangnan said this, but at this moment, his mind was full of the master saying to send someone to pick him up, and he didn't care about anything else.

Being asked all kinds of questions by his third brother, Cao Xiangnan knew that if he continued to ask, his third brother would definitely know that he was lying.

Then he changed the subject and patiently asked about his third brother's situation in the mansion again, sorted out the whole story, and then comforted his third brother and said that Master Wang would send someone to pick him up soon.

When he sent his third brother out, his third brother looked at his house with a look of longing. Cao Xiangnan knew that Cao Chunqing wanted to stay with him, but he didn't dare to keep her, so he had to send her out. It was getting

dark outside, and he sent her back to the village before turning back.
