The restaurant was bustling with six or seven children from the two families combined. The children were talking to each other, and the room was filled with the voices of the children.
The men who came for the first time were surprised to see so many children in the room. When they went to the army, they were not married yet, let alone having children. Now at this age, with injuries on their bodies, it would be even more difficult for a man to be willing to marry them, let alone have children.
Now seeing so many children, they were well-fed, well-grown, and good-looking. The handsome little boy smiled at them, which touched the softest part of their hearts. They had all longed to get married and have such a lovely child.
"Hey, what are you all standing for? Sit down, sit down." Seeing that some people were still standing, Cao Xiangnan waved his hand for them to sit down. Wang Dahu glanced over, and the standing men sat down in unison.
"..." Cao Xiangnan.
Cao Gang took a look, turned his gaze back to his wife and children, stood up, took a spoon and scooped soup into bowls for everyone. Cao Xiangnan thought of the two rabbits and asked, "What should we do with the two rabbits? Cut some slices of meat for hot pot, and make braised rabbit meat?"
"Okay." Qi Wanfeng replied, "Then I'll go cut the meat, and cut the rest for braised, Xiangnan, you take care of Baoer."
"Wanfeng, I don't think it's necessary. We can't finish the meat here." Liu Baishu said, "You can keep the two rabbits and cook them another day." He saw that even if there were so many people on the table, they might not be able to finish them.
After everyone discussed it, they felt that they couldn't finish the two rabbits. Cao Xiangnan meant that if they couldn't finish them, they could just let Wang Dahu and the others take them away.
Liu Baishu smiled and said, "Two rabbits are not enough for everyone, one for each of us. I think that's not necessary." He understood Cao Xiangnan's good intentions, but these two rabbits were not enough for two people, not to mention that there were more than twenty people there.
This made sense, so Cao Xiangnan had to give up the idea and sit down to eat and drink together.
After finally satisfying the various requests of the children, they finally calmed down and the children buried their heads in the food in their bowls. Lele took the small spoon himself, and although his movements were a bit clumsy, he fed the food into his own mouth.
Seeing this, Xiaobaoer also wanted to do it himself, but Qi Wanfeng had to feed the boy while trying to fool him, and just didn't let him eat it himself.
Cao Ruile glanced at Baoer who followed his example, and a subtle sense of helplessness flashed across his young face. Wang Dahu touched the wine jar, opened the lid, and a scent of wine came out. He said, "Good wine!" "
Well, this wine has been stored for a long time. If you like it, drink a few more glasses. There are still a lot in the cellar. You can go back and take two jars back later." The wine here has been brewed for a longer time, and the taste is better than the new wine in the winery. Cao Xiangnan is not a stingy person. He will share the good things here with his brothers.
Knowing that several brothers who came for the first time have never eaten hot pot, Cao Xiangnan explained to them what hot pot is.
Staring at the boiling pot and smelling the aroma, the men who came for the first time had never eaten such special food before, and they knew it tasted great. After trying it once, they all fell in love with eating hot pot.
At the dinner table, Cao Xiangnan asked about the situation of Wang Dahu and his brothers. The men who came together were no longer embarrassed at the beginning. After two glasses of wine, they relaxed and talked more.
The meat in the pot rolled up and dipped in special seasonings, and the taste was extraordinary. The men who ate such spicy peppers for the first time exhaled while eating. They sat by the stove in the winter and ate with sweat all over their heads.
When the children were full, Qi Wanfeng said goodbye and took the two younger ones down first, and the older ones followed behind and left the table. However, Sun Bailian also wanted to take the children home, so he said to Wanfeng.
"Okay, you go back and rest early." Knowing that Sun Bailian was tired, Qi Wanfeng asked him to go back and sleep early.
Cao Gang sent Sun Bailian and the two children home first, then turned around and went to Cao Xiangnan's place, where he sat and drank while listening to several soldiers talking about the situation outside the town gate. They
had almost finished eating, and seeing that it was getting late, Cao Xiangnan didn't want to keep them here to drink any more. The food on the table was almost finished, and there was not much left. Cao Xiangnan saw a few people out, handed the lantern in his hand to them, and reminded those who were going back to be careful on the road.
"Okay, we're leaving." The man waved his hand.
The night wind was mixed with snowflakes. After the men who had finished their meal said goodbye, they took the lanterns given by the host and left in the night snow. Cao Gang also went back to the opposite side, closed the door of the yard, and went inside.
Sun Bailian was still sitting in the house waiting for her husband to come back. When she heard the sound, she turned around and saw her husband coming back, and a smile spread on her face. Seeing the person waiting there, Cao Gang strode over. After
sending the person back, there was nothing else to do at home.
"Uncle Liu, it's getting late, you should go back to bed too." Seeing Liu Guizhong still following him, Cao Xiangnan asked him to go back to bed. Liu Guizhong responded, then remembered that the things in the house had not been tidied up yet,
so he said he would go in and help tidy up before going back. "Tidi up tomorrow." Cao Xiangnan waved his hand, not letting anyone go in to tidy up, and told him to go back and rest early. Seeing that the host meant it was not necessary, Liu Guizhong followed the host in, and only turned around and went to the house where they lived after seeing the host enter the house.
At this time, the children in the family had all wiped off their clothes and went to bed. Lele and Xiaobaoer, the two little guys, went to bed early, and the house was quiet now.
The things on the table had not been tidied up yet, and only a table full of leftovers and cold meats were left.
"Have they all gone back? Husband, you drank a lot?" Qi Wanfeng asked when he saw his husband's red face and smelled the alcohol on him.
"Yeah, just a little." It was just a little bit. For someone who doesn't drink a lot, he felt a little dizzy at this moment. Cao Xiangnan leaned over and hugged Wanfeng, deliberately giving him all his weight. He said he was drunk but he wasn't very drunk. He just wanted to caress his wife.
"A little bit more?" Qi Wanfeng smiled and put his arms around his husband. He saw that it was more than a little. The two men were of similar height. He used to do a lot of heavy work and was quite strong. It was not a problem for him to support his husband. He asked, "Help you go back to the room to sleep? I'll get some hot water and wipe your face."
"Yes." His lips just landed on the neck of the man who was hugging him. A sly look flashed in Cao Xiangnan's eyes. His lips moved over there. As the two men walked, his lips dropped a kiss on the white and tender skin.
One, two, and he couldn't help but kiss again. Qi Wanfeng finally realized that something was wrong. He lowered his head and found his husband's action. He was so angry that he almost threw him to the ground. Two blushes flew on his face. Cao Xiangnan was not embarrassed at all after being discovered. When he was put down on the bed, he pulled the man down.
"...Husband, I haven't gone to see An An and the others yet." Qi Wanfeng struggled. He hadn't gone to see the children yet. If the quilt wasn't covered properly, they might catch a cold.
"I'll go see them later." After drinking a few glasses of wine, his whole body was hot, and Cao Xiangnan wouldn't let go. He pressed his lips against Wanfeng's face and kissed him.
"There's still a table outside that hasn't been cleaned up."
"Put it there first."
Qi Wanfeng half-heartedly let his husband mess around. The drunk husband was a little more noisy than usual, but he liked this kind of husband very much. He put his hand in his husband's hair and responded to his husband's kiss. He
opened his body to welcome the person he loved in.
Yes, this is love, not just liking, but love, which is stronger than liking, and his heart is full of tenderness. He just wanted to live a shameless life with his husband, and have him give birth to more children. When they were deeply in love, Qi Wanfeng hugged his husband tightly, wishing that they could become one at this moment.
Feeling the initiative of the person under him, Cao Xiangnan became even more impolite that night.
The fire in the fireplace was burning at night, and the flames were jumping on it. The enthusiasm in the room was even more fiery than the fire outside...
The next day, the people who got up faced a table full of leftovers, and Cao Xiangnan resignedly began to clean the table. The children who got up early came out of the room and followed him to help with the work, and they also looked very professional.
"Good boy!" With his hands dirty, Cao Xiangnan lowered his head and rubbed his chin on the top of the child's head. He really liked this child who always worked silently beside him.
Xiangzi's face turned red when his uncle got close to him. He felt embarrassed, but he couldn't help but raise his head and looked at his uncle Xiangnan with a smile. He liked to be close to his uncle.
He walked forward and hugged his uncle's waist with both hands, buried his head, and whispered "Dad" in his heart.
Finding the child holding him tightly, Cao Xiangnan let the child hold him and laughed out loud. Then he stopped laughing and asked seriously, "Cao Ruixiang, do you want to call me daddy like An'an did, and call you Wanfengmomo mom?" "
I have always respected you on this issue. If you don't want to, you can continue to call me uncle..." I still treat you and Xingxing as my own children. I will not stop treating you as my own children just because of a title.
"Dad!" Before he finished speaking, he heard the child calling him daddy.
Almost immediately, Xiangzi called "Dad".
To him, this uncle has long been his daddy. His dad passed away for many years, and his mom later passed away, leaving him and his brother. Only his uncle was willing to take them in and treat them as his own children. This man has long been his daddy.
"Hey! My dear." Cao Xiangnan was stunned for a moment, then responded with a big smile on his face and a soft heart.
