Being watched by a group of people at the door, Young Master Shen blushed in anger and got into the carriage, asking the driver to hurry up. The kneeling young man got the young master's answer, thanked the young master with a smile and tears, and then stood up with sobs.
Bai Zhi glared at Huang Ling, got on their young master's carriage with a bad face.
Looking at Bai Zhi getting on the carriage, the young man with his head down had a flash of jealousy in his eyes, but he also knew that he was not qualified to get on the young master's carriage yet, so he had to turn around and get on the carriage behind.
"Young Master Shen is so lucky." The man who was traveling with him joked, without any ill intention.
The men next to him laughed, but they were not lucky enough to enjoy such a blessing, so they all jumped on the horses.
Cao Xiangnan, who was standing beside the carriage, stretched out his hand and rubbed his brows, not knowing whether he was smiling or not.
The evening breeze lifted the curtain and looked out. He also heard the noise outside in the carriage and knew what happened outside. Seeing his husband with a frown, he asked, "Husband, what's wrong?" Cao Xiangnan signaled that the others should not get off, and followed him into the carriage, ignoring those irrelevant people.
When the little Bao'er in the carriage saw his father getting on the carriage, he climbed over to hug him with a cry of "oh hey oh oh". Cao Xiangnan quickly stretched out his hand to catch him, and could not help but kiss him twice, "Oh, baby, daddy hug you."
"Oh oh... tut... tut tut..." The little Bao'er who recognized his father smiled like a little fool, with a naive face.
Cao Ruile stared, but he got a stupid little brother for nothing, so he still happily accepted this little fool. The squatting little white fox stretched out its paw to cover its eyes, then secretly let go of its paw and looked up at its little master.
A fat paw stretched out and patted the little white fox.
"..." Inhuman little white fox, master, you really should lose weight.
The carriages and horses were arranged, and they left one by one, embarking on the journey back to Nanyang City.
After such a commotion, the men who were traveling with him, even those who were attracted by the beauty of the young man, no longer dared to provoke the young man who looked pretty. Although she looked pretty, she was not as comfortable as Bai Zhi who served Master Shen. In the same carriage, Liu Lan sat with the young man who came up with her. Liu Lan was a straightforward young man. He was very clear about who he liked and who he didn't like, and who he was close to and who he wasn't close to.
In addition, he and Bai Zhi had known each other for a long time and had been together for a long time. Bai Zhi was older than him and would teach him many things. Knowing that Bai Zhi didn't like Huang Ling who came with him, he naturally didn't walk with Huang Ling.
The boy, who was obviously isolated by everyone, ran to a deserted place to secretly wipe his tears when he got off the bus, and his eyes were red when he came back. A boy who lost his father and mother and was helpless is certainly pitiful, but if this kind of pity is used as a pretext, it is really hard to sympathize with him.
Didn’t you see that Young Master Shen couldn’t get people to leave even if he gave them money? But people were attracted to Young Master Shen, and their eyes were always staring at Young Master Shen. Naturally, they would not be attracted to these rough guys.
For the boring journey, Young Master Shen’s encounter became a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner. Shen Zhengyang hid away in anger. He even disliked Bai Zhi, who had served him for many years. He couldn't even handle such a small matter!
Bai Zhi was also wronged and felt extremely aggrieved.
After class at Caojia Village Academy, a group of children carrying small backpacks rushed out of the academy and went back home playfully. Children from the surrounding small villages came to the academy to study. The older ones took the younger ones home, and there was no need for adults to follow. The older children would take the younger ones home by themselves.
After the road was repaired in Caojia Village, the nearby small villages also started to build roads. It took several months to build a road to connect with the road built in Caojia Village, so that it was convenient for people in their village to go to Caojia Village.
After the fruits ripen in midsummer, no one wants the wild fruits on the mountain. Usually, no one wants them even if you work hard to pick them and sell them at the market. When people heard that Caojia Village was collecting wild fruits, they waited until someone collected them and sold them for money before they believed it was true and rushed to collect fruits and sell them.
Even the children who had finished their classes followed to collect fruits. The money from selling them could supplement their family income and they could also make some money for their own studies. A few dollars was a lot of money for these children. Now, even children who are willing to work hard can save some money.
The sun set and the children went home after school.
"Brother, wait for me..." A group of children ran along the repaired road towards Caojia Village. The older children naturally ran in front, and the younger children, who had short legs, fell behind. The lagging children shouted at the back.
The children who had run far ahead heard the sound. Although they looked helpless, Kang Kang still ran back and pulled A Di to run forward together, "Hurry up." The two brothers caught up with the children who ran ahead.
After entering the village, the children ran back to their homes. Cao Ruian and Xiangzi lived at the end of the village and had to go through the village to go home. Seeing his uncle waiting under the big tree, An An slowed down his pace and waited for Xiangzi to come to his side. "That man is there again." He lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that his uncle standing there would hear him.
Xiangzi held An An's hand, "Don't be afraid, we will hide from him, I won't let him catch you." He knew that someone was waiting for An An here, and wanted to trick An An into taking him back to their home and living in their house.
Those people didn't like him and his brother, and they wanted to drive them away from their uncle and their mother's house, but they wouldn't leave! Their uncle and their mother said that he and his brother were also their children, and Xiangzi and his brother wanted to be their children.
Besides, it was their house, and they wouldn't let outsiders live there unless their uncle and their mother were at home.
Several children saw the people waiting under the big tree, and the people standing there naturally saw the children who had just returned from school. The one waiting there was Cao Chunqing, who had been divorced and returned to her mother's house. He now had his sights set on the child, trying to use the child to live in his fourth brother's house.
The Cao family compound was now very lively, and Cao Wenxuan from Li Zheng's family finally passed the imperial examination and became the first scholar from Caojia Village. Cao Gaojin, the youngest son who was always mentioned by Chen Zhu as a scholar, did not even see the shadow of a scholar. He returned to Caojia Village in disgrace and brought back a pregnant boy. The boy was covered in rouge and it was obvious that he was not from a decent family, but he still fascinated Cao Gaojin.
Chen Zhu naturally disagreed that this scholar did not pass the exam and brought back such an undecent boy. The boy who could fascinate Cao Gaojin was not an easy person to deal with, otherwise he would not have fascinated Cao Laowu to bring him back home. There
were only a few houses in the Cao family compound. The house that Cao Chunqing originally lived in was still his fifth brother's. Now that he had returned, he naturally wanted to take the house back. Cao Chunqing was naturally unwilling. If he returned the house to his fifth brother, where would he live?
Chen Zhu meant that his fourth son's house was big and had many rooms, so he took advantage of his fourth son's absence to move in. This coincided with Cao Chunqing's opinion. He had long been eyeing his fourth brother's house, which was many times better than the courtyard. If he could move in with his fourth brother, he would not have to worry about food or shelter, and he could also wait for his fourth brother to come back and help him find a way to go back to his husband's family.
The two wanted to take over the yard while Cao Xiangnan was away, but the servants who were guarding the door wouldn't even let them in, so they went to Cao Xiangnan's yard and made a scene.
Seeing that this approach didn't work, Cao Chunqing set his sights on his fourth brother's little brother, thinking that if he could let him take him back, he could live in his fourth brother's house.
The children there saw Cao Chunqing, and Cao Chunqing naturally saw the children as well.
Cao Chunqing put on a flattering smile and wanted to call for help.
"Run!" Xiangzi gave an order, and all the children ran away. He led An An through the side, leaving Cao Chunqing with only the backs of the children running away, and Cao Chunqing was so angry that she stomped her feet behind them.
Cao Chunqing couldn't afford to lose face, so he didn't dare to chase after his fourth brother's child. When he saw
a group of children running back home, they were panting.
"An'an, Xiangzi, why are you guys running so hard and out of breath?" Aunt Liu saw the children coming back. Seeing An'an's face flushed from running, she reached out to pat the child's back to calm him down, and asked.
"Is someone chasing you?" As he said this, he even glanced out of the door, but didn't see anyone behind him.
"Yes, it's that..." Jingbao still told Aunt Liu that he and his brother Kang Kang had dinner at An'an's house. His father and mother were busy, so they had dinner at An'an's house. His father and mother would come back and pick them up.
Grandma Liu really liked the children, and they were close to her. After hearing what the children said, she was very angry, but she couldn't curse in front of them.
"Grandma has prepared the meal for you. Go wash your hands and eat first." Grandma Liu closed the door of the yard and bolted it down to prevent those shameless people from trying to occupy her master's house.
After dinner, Cao Gang and Sun Bailian came back to take the two boys back home.
There was still a little bit of red left in the sky. The three children sat on the doorstep and looked at the sky with a worried look on their faces. "Xiangzi, Xingxing, when do you think Daddy and Mom will come back?" An An asked. He missed Daddy and Mom.
"It should be soon." Xiangzi told the two brothers, holding them on the left and right. He would take good care of the two brothers when uncle and mom were not at home, and would also keep an eye on the house to prevent others from robbing their house.
The last bit of red clouds in the west disappeared, and night fell.
