That night, there were a few scattered stars in the sky, the night wind was blowing, and the sound of insects could be heard from afar. The person sitting on the stone drank the wine in his hand sip by sip.
The gurgling water seemed particularly quiet at night, and the people's hearts also calmed down, without so many random thoughts. If this is what Sun Ji wanted, he should fulfill it. He
raised his head and took a sip of wine. The jar of wine was almost empty again.
He heard footsteps coming from behind, accompanied by a voice of "brother", and he knew who was coming.
"Brother, why did you come here to drink alone?" Gan Weiqi found his brother by the stream. He remembered that he had not seen his brother today. He looked around but could not find him. So he looked here. Unexpectedly, he was really here.
Several horses were standing or lying by the stream. They were very leisurely. They were not panicked when they saw someone coming. They did what they had to do. After throwing a few empty pots on the ground, Gan Weiqi sat down next to his brother and asked, "Brother, why did you drink so much?"
Gan Weiqi was silent because he did not know how to answer.
Seeing that his brother did not answer him, Gan Weilin got used to it. He had been used to his brother's dull temper since he was a child. Seeing his elder brother drinking here alone in the middle of the night, Gan Weilin thought that he was in a bad mood. Gan Weilin didn't know why his brother was in a bad mood and was drinking alone here. He was a little sad and didn't know how to comfort his brother.
This made him feel that his elder brother was getting farther and farther away from him, which made Gan Weilin feel uneasy. He reached out and grabbed his elder brother's clothes and looked at his elder brother straight. Found that his elder brother also turned his head to look at him, Gan Weilin didn't know what to say for a while, and murmured "elder brother".
He was very afraid that his elder brother didn't want him, and this possibility made him feel very insecure.
"Yeah." Gan Weiqi saw that the boy looked at him with pitiful eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he knew what his younger brother was thinking at a glance. He was smiling, but not smiling, and the smile on his face seemed a little forced.
This silly brother of his always thought that he was his biological brother, but he didn't know that they were not biological brothers. He was the one from Gan's family, and Gan Weiqi was the one who brought his child to his family that night. He only found out about some things later, and so many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Although they were not biological brothers, Gan Weiqi always treated this brother as his biological brother, and took good care of him since he was a child, which cultivated his current naive character.
The two brothers sat quietly under the night sky, and the little wine left in the altar was drunk by the brothers, one sip after another, and they finished it in a few sips, "Let's go, go back to sleep." Gan Weiqi stood up, looked down at the people who were still sitting on the ground, and said.
"Oh, it's time to go back to sleep." Gan Weilin got up and went back with his brother. He yawned, he was really sleepy. He followed his elder brother and forgot to investigate his elder brother's drinking alone.
In the bright red new house, two people slept together on the bed. The red candle on the table was burning, and the candle liquid fell drop by drop. The night passed by little by little, the stars in the sky disappeared one by one, the roosters crowed, and the next dawn came. "Yiya..." The sound of the door opening broke the silence of this early morning.
In the small village, smoke rose, and the people who got up early began to wash rice and cook. Firewood was burned in the stove in the kitchen, and rice was cooked in the pot. Soon, the fragrance of rice spread out. The old man in the village took the old cow out early in the morning and took it outside to graze. When he met acquaintances on the way, he greeted each other and went back to work.
At this time, some radishes and cabbages were planted in the fields. The ones that looked bad were kept for their own consumption, and the good ones were picked out to be sold. In this year, those who worked hard to grow vegetables could make a lot of money.
At this time of year, the villagers began to prepare food for the winter. After August 15, the weather became colder day by day. Soon, the weather would get colder. The family had to store some food for the winter. The family had to rely on this little food to survive the cold winter.
However, in Caojia Village now, everyone can store some food, not just to keep the family hungry.
People in Caojia Village got up at dawn and went out after breakfast. The adults went out to work or to the fields. The children in the village went to the academy in groups of three or five. The whole village became different from before.
The married girl got up early and looked shy in front of her husband. She lowered her head, blushed, picked up her husband's clothes and said she would help him change clothes. Her husband took it and politely refused. She stood there a little at a loss.
Seeing the boy standing in front of him, Sun Ji frowned because of the hangover, which made the boy think that he didn't like him, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Knock knock---" There was a knock on the door. Sun Ji glanced at the boy with red eyes and didn't know what to say. When he walked over and opened the door, he saw his father standing outside. It was getting late, and his father came to call them to get up. The elders outside were waiting for them to serve tea.
"Okay, father, we'll go over now." Sun Ji said.
"Okay, okay, come quickly, everyone is still waiting for you two outside." It was not good to rush him, but it was getting late, and it was not appropriate for him to keep the people outside waiting for a long time in the house, so Sun Yanshan had to bite the bullet and rush him.
After the wedding, the wedding ceremony, and the tea, they were married from then on.
It was time to make the bacon. Cao Xiangnan had ordered more than 20 pigs from Ada early on. It was not a small job to kill all these pigs and make bacon.
With the experience of last year, everyone is more skilled this year.
Early in the morning, Ah Da came to kill pigs, and the screams of killing pigs broke half the sky.
Cao Xiangnan came here early in the morning and directed everyone to work. He chose Ah Da's brother Zhilan to help him manage things. If someone wants to make trouble here, he should first consider whether Zhilan will be polite to him with the pig-killing knife in his hand.
Zhilan asked about Wang Dahu with a shy face, and he might have taken a fancy to that man.
He now knows that Wang Dahu belongs to Liu Baishu, and Cao Xiangnan dare not put Wang Dahu together with others, otherwise Liu Baishu will be angry with him.
Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu have been gone for such a long time, and no one knows when they will come back.
Seeing Cao Zhilan asking about Wang Dahu, Cao Xiangnan found an excuse to deceive this innocent boy, so that this boy would give up and look for another man instead of hanging himself on a tree.
Except for his rough appearance, Cao Zhilan is indeed a good boy. Is she just helping his father to kill pigs and sell meat? Cao Xiangnan doesn't know why the people in the village would dislike such a virtuous and capable boy, but there will always be people who know how to appreciate Cao Zhilan. Marriage is destined by heaven, and he still believes that such a good boy will sooner or later meet someone who knows how to cherish him.
"Ah, you're going to Nanyang so soon, why don't you stay at home for a few more days?" Sun Ji came to him and told him that he was going to Nanyang tomorrow. Cao Xiangnan was still confused. It's only been two days since the wedding, and he's rushing back to Nanyang? He almost thought that he, as a boss, was mistreating his employees.
He remembered that he asked Sun Ji to stay for a few more days before going back, but he didn't expect that the man came to him the next day and said that he wanted to go to Nanyang.
"There are a lot of things over there, and I feel uneasy if I don't go." Sun Ji said.
This reason was really sufficient, making it a bit difficult for him to refuse. At this time, there were many things to do in Nanyang City, and it happened that they had just started to prepare to make ramen. He had to stay here for a few days and couldn't leave. Cao Xiangnan had a headache and said, "Then it's up to you. If you feel like going, go ahead. If you want to stay at home for a few more days, it's fine. I won't rush you." "
Well, I know, I'll go there early tomorrow morning." Sun Ji didn't come to discuss with Cao Xiangnan, but simply to tell him that he was going to Nanyang.
Seeing that Sun Ji wanted to stay to help, Cao Xiangnan asked him to go back and have a rest. In fact, he meant to give him a day off to go back and spend more time with his newlywed wife and cultivate their relationship. However, Sun Ji had reasons that made it impossible for him to chase him away, and he really couldn't refute them.
He was busy here, and he was more than happy to have a capable assistant to help him. Besides, he asked Sun Ji to go back, but he didn't go back himself, so he couldn't be accused of abusing his employees as a boss.
With Sun Ji as a great helper, the pressure on him was indeed relieved a lot in an instant, and he was no longer busy running around without even a moment to breathe.
Every year at this time, it is the busiest time for everyone. At this time, those who need to ship goods must hurry to ship them out before winter comes. Otherwise, after the snow falls, the roads will be difficult to travel and the goods will not be able to be shipped out.
Everyone in the workshop is busy with their work. The brothers who usually have some time to chat while working are not in the mood to chat now.
Until the sun sets in the west, the people who go out to work get off work and go back to the village along the repaired road. There is a prepared meal on the table, waiting for those who go home to eat. Adults and children sit together and have a good time.
"...So what do you think happened, Wanfeng?" After returning home and washing his hands, Cao Xiangnan took the silk handed to him by Wanfeng and wiped his hands. He came back and told his wife about Sun Ji's visit to him today to go to Nanyang City.
He couldn't tell others about this, but it was okay to tell his own wife, right? She
automatically asked to go out right after getting married. Could it be that the two of them were not in love? Cao Xiangnan gossiped in his heart for a long time.
"After a long time, they have feelings for each other. Husband, don't worry too much. When we just got married, you went to work in town the next day, and it took another month to come back." Qi Wanfeng glared at his husband and said.
Seeing that his husband still had the leisure to worry about other people's family affairs, he shook his head, took the silk that his husband used to wipe his hands, hung it up, and said, "Okay, don't think about it, go and eat, the food is cold."
"Oh." Cao Xiangnan thought about it and it was true. He really couldn't worry about this matter. When he and Wanfeng just got married, he also went to work in town the next day? Stupid!
Oh, no, that wasn't him. He felt very sorry for this and wished he could get married again, take a three-month vacation to accompany his wife, and go on a honeymoon.
By the time he had finished his meal, it was late.
The sky got dark quickly at this time of year. It was dark in a short while, and the children in the family went back to their rooms and went to bed. After going to the child's room to see the child and covering the child with a quilt, Qi Wanfeng came out of the child's room and went back to his own room.
The next morning, the boat was early in the morning, and those who were going out had to leave before dawn. The boy standing at the door said goodbye to his husband, opened his mouth to say something, and finally said to his husband, "Come back soon."
"Yes." The man responded, and got on the carriage without looking back. The carriage rattled away, carrying the people away. The boy wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and went back with his head down.
The old grandmother saw that her grandson's wife was sad, followed behind to comfort her, but was turned away.
The fog on the river had not yet dissipated, and the big ship left the dock and slowly left.
