Fishermen who had gone out fishing returned to the dock early in the morning. The fish in the buckets were still jumping around. There were many people selling and buying things at the small stalls. The vendors were rushing to sell all their goods so that they could go home for the festival, and the buyers were also rushing to buy vegetables to prepare for tonight's dinner.

It was already the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

A large ship docked at the dock, and the people who boarded the ship last night returned to Fenshui Town early this morning.

"Third brother, we're back."

"Yes, we're back."

"Let's go to the shop first."

Sun Ji led several cousins ​​from the clan to the shop. The day after tomorrow was his wedding day, and he just returned from Nanyang City today. If he wasn't getting married, he might not come back even for the holidays. There were so many things going on in Nanyang at that time. He

had to go back home eventually. He couldn't escape forever even if he escaped for a while. Could it be that he would never come back here? !

In the morning, there were many people in the town. I think the store would be open for business until after noon and close for the employees to go home for the holidays. And Sun Ji was right. When he arrived at the door of the shop, he saw his father sitting at the table at the door.

"Son, you're back!" When Sun Yanshan saw his son coming back, his eyes widened. He stood up from his seat, with surprise on his face, and walked towards his son.

Last night, before he went to sleep, he was still thinking about why his son hadn't come back yet. He was so anxious. The marriage had been arranged, the matchmaker had given the betrothal gifts, and the family had prepared all the things for the wedding. The man was waiting for him to go over and welcome the girl home, but his son hadn't come back yet. How could he not be anxious?

Unexpectedly, his son came back early this morning. Sun Yanshan was so happy that his mouth almost stretched to his ears when he saw his son coming back.

"Dad, my son is back." Sun Ji took a few steps forward and held the hand his father had extended. Compared to the smile on his father's face, his smile was a little more restrained, and there was a hint of mist between his brows.

But Sun Yanshan was happy at the moment and didn't notice anything wrong with his son.

"Uncle Yanshan."

"Uncle."

"You guys are back too, it's just right for you to go with Aji to welcome the bride." Sun Yanshan had already chosen the boys who would go with his son to welcome the bride. If they all went together, he would choose a few more boys from the clan to go with him, and it would be more lively with more people.

"Okay." The boys responded one after another.

Cao Dapeng, who was pregnant with a general's belly, heard the noise outside. He seemed to hear the voice of Sun Ji. He walked out with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't expect it was really this boy. "Sun Ji, you are back. When did you come back? I thought I heard your voice, but I didn't expect it was really you guys."

"And you Jing guys, you guys are back together. It's good to be back. It's the holiday, it's time to come back."

So it seems that Sun Ji and his friends came back on the boat last night and arrived at Fenshui early this morning. Usually, they usually take the day boat, and the morning boat arrives at night. I think there are a lot of things there, so they took the night boat and came back this morning.

"Dapeng."

"Brother Dapeng."

"Come on, you haven't eaten yet, you must be hungry, come in quickly, I'll make you some food, tell me what you want to eat, I'll make it for you." Cao Dapeng patted his chest and said, "I guarantee you'll eat until your stomachs are full."

"Thank you, brother Dapeng, I'm really starving." They had been sitting on the boat all night, and it was hard to sleep well because of the rocking boat. They didn't eat anything, how could they not be hungry?

Cao Dapeng smiled and led the boys inside.

After finishing the morning business, the food in the store was sold out after noon, and the store closed. They took a carriage back to Caojia Village.

Every time people who have been away from home come back, they find that Caojia Village has changed a lot, even their homes have gradually changed. A few people who have returned to the village only then know that the village is building a wall. Such a wall is a good thing for the people of Caojia Village.

Now almost every household in their Caojia Village has work to do, and there are many people who grow crops and raise chickens and ducks. Cao Ada, who sells pork, has built a large farm to raise pigs, so they don’t have to worry about pork in Caojia Village in the future.

In Caojia Village today, as long as you are not lazy, your family will have daily income, and life is getting better and better. Just this time when I brought people home, I found that many new houses were built in their village.

Along the way, Sun Yanshan talked about the things in the village with his son and the boys who had returned. It was not difficult to hear from his words that he admired and appreciated Cao Jia Si Lang. I never thought that the changes in Cao Jia Village today were still due to Si Lang.

Seeing the wall surrounding the village, Sun Ji nodded and said, "Xiang Nan mentioned this to me. I never thought that the wall was built when I came back this time." This wall really has many benefits as Xiang Nan said.

"Yes, that boy is a man with ideas and foresight." Sun Yanshan said.

If it is a good thing that Cao Jia Village is gradually becoming wealthy, then this mutual generation is actually a bad thing.

Who can say that the world will be peaceful every year? There are many thieves and bandits. Who knows if someone will set their sights on Caojia Village? If there is a famine, people in other villages can't even get enough food. Caojia Village has so much food and livestock. This will bring them a disaster that will destroy the entire village. The benefits of building this wall are really many.

The carriage went into the village, and they went back home.

The people at home were very happy to see their children and grandchildren coming home. On this day, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. They only needed the boy who was away from home to come back, and the family would be reunited. How could they not be happy to see him come back?

Today was a day off, so he didn't do any work. He had been busy for so many days. Cao Xiangnan slept well with his wife in his arms. If he hadn't heard the kid in the next room groaning, he wouldn't have wanted to get up. He

got up early in the morning and made breakfast. Then he and Cao Gang went to the town to buy fresh fish. The pork from Cao Ada in the village was fresh and cheaper than the one in the town. In the past, he asked Ada to save some pork for him, so he went to the town to buy river fish.

There were many people eating at home today, and they bought a lot of river fish. Crabs are the most plump at this time of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cao Xiangnan remembered that Wanfeng was worried that Lele couldn't eat crabs at this time last year, so he thought of buying more this year so that he could have enough. He knew that Wanfeng liked to eat crabs the most.

The crabs fried with some cooking wine, sweet and sour ginger are delicious and nutritious, which is the best.

When I came back, I bought a lot of things and went to Ada's place to pick up some pork.

He asked Cao Ada to keep dozens of pigs, ready to make braised pork after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Braised intestines and braised pork are also very particular. The earlier they are made, the better. If they are made too early, the weather may be bad and the braised pork will be dry and taste bad. The braised pork tastes good only when the weather is good.

Last year, the braised pork was sold out, but this year, many orders came in early, and this batch of goods is not enough to cover the orders. He left the recipe in Fengdu City and Nanyang City, and brought a chef to make it once. He will also get a share of the profits there, and he is busy in Fenshui Town.

There was not much time left, and there were not enough people. The weather was going to get cold, and if it snowed, he would be unlucky. He could just do some small business here to earn some money to support his family. Anyway, he would get the lion's share.

As soon as the crabs came back, Cao Xiangnan fried them. A large plate of crabs was served, and the aroma filled his nose. "Come and eat crabs," he shouted.

A group of children surrounded him, all shouting for food.

The two boys from Sun Bailian's family, and Aning also brought Xuanxuan to his house to celebrate the festival. Together with several children from his family, there were a house full of children, and they had been making noise since early morning.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, do you little ones know how to eat?" Cao Xiangnan was very skeptical and said, "I also made some pork meatballs for you. If you don't like crabs, wait for me to fry them for you." Give

the little ones some snacks first. It's still early, and they won't have dinner until later.

"Yeah, it smells so good." Qi Wanfeng came over as soon as he smelled the smell.

"Eat more if you like it." Cao Xiangnan looked at the people coming over, and they looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Over there, Xiao Bao'er's eyes lit up, and he was about to crawl over with four feet, but Lele grabbed his feet from behind and couldn't crawl. He turned around and babbled to Lele anxiously. Cao Ruile sat there steadily, holding Xiao Bao'er with one hand.

If you don't let go, I will cry! Xiao Bao'er stared.

"Puchi..." Aning couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw Lele pulling Xiaobao'er's feet to stop him from crawling away. He walked over to rescue Xiaobao'er and picked him up. The picked up Xiaobao looked at Cao Ruile who was pulling his legs warily, as if he was afraid that Lele would pull his legs again.

"Lele, get up, let's go together." Aning knew that Lele could walk. This little guy would listen to many things. He had never seen such a smart child. However, Lele was more obedient than other children when he was young. It was not surprising that he grew up to be a smart boy.

Qi Wanfeng, who was over there, came over after watching the excitement. He and Aning each picked up a boy.

Fried crabs are not really suitable for children. The little ones can't eat by themselves. They open their mouths and wait for others to feed them. After eating a few bites, they throw themselves into the arms of the fried meatballs. They are eating the meatballs in the bowls around the table.

Delicious, delicious!

Cao Ruile ate one in two or three bites, and his mouth never stopped eating.

But Xiao Baoer didn't want to eat more after eating a few. This is a typical case of a little stomach being full and not daring to be interested when seeing others eating.

There are several adults sitting together eating crabs and chatting. Sun Bailian, who is pregnant, can't eat cold things either, so she can only eat something else to satisfy her craving. If there are too many children, they will throw a piece to play with themselves. Qi Wanfeng will also be distracted to pay attention to Xiao Baoer, hold the child over, and feed the child some water.
