After the Little New Year, the days passed one by one, and in a few days it would be the New Year. Although it was cold, it didn't snow much. The market in the town was open every day, and many people came.

Thinking that no caravans had come this winter, Cao Xiangnan asked the storekeeper Zhao and found out that the snow was heavy in the north this winter. Many places suffered from snow disasters, freezing many people and livestock to death. The heavy snow blocked the roads, so there were fewer caravans traveling north and south this year.

Making money is important, but life is still more important.

This natural disaster and man-made disaster is also unavoidable. Every year when the cold winter comes, people will die from hunger and cold.

Many merchants were stranded in Nanyang City. Knowing that the snow was heavier and the road was difficult to travel to the north, many people stayed in Nanyang City. All the restaurants in the city were full of people. Even Yipinzhai had no vacant rooms. Yipinzhai would prepare enough food before the beginning of winter every year, just in case the snow was too heavy.

Fang, the shopkeeper, got a letter from their boss that Yipinzhai would distribute porridge and steamed buns to beggars and disaster victims in the city on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

When I arrived in Fenshui Town, I got the news that the New Year was almost over.

Speaking of natural disasters and man-made disasters, Zhao the shopkeeper sighed and said with emotion, "If God doesn't give people a good life, I don't know how many people will die."

Thinking of the fact that even in this modern era of advanced technology, a natural disaster can kill many people, Cao Xiangnan smiled and said, "People can't rely on God to live their lives. There are so many people in Fengchao, and God can take care of this but not that. We still have to rely on ourselves, right?"

If they still lived in the shabby house where they were driven out, their family would have died early because they couldn't survive the winter. Cao Xiangnan is a person who doesn't believe in God. He has always believed in himself. But even if he doesn't believe in God, he still has some faith in God for arranging him here. To live, you still have to rely on yourself!

The brothers and sisters who worked this winter produced a lot of wine in the winery. The mushroom plantation was assigned to some people, and several rows of racks were expanded to plant a lot of mushrooms. A batch of mushrooms were picked before the New Year.

The New Year is coming soon, and some of the stewards in the mansions in the town are trying their best to prepare more fresh dishes for the masters of the mansions. The stewards who have bought fresh mushrooms and bean sprouts from Yipinzhai in previous years know that Yipinzhai has good things, so the goods delivered were booked early, and there was no worry that no one would buy them even if the price was expensive.

Cao Xiangnan brought his new partner to deliver goods to Yipinzhai today. He was pulled by his brother Zhao to sit down and drink a cup of tea and chat, and then he knew what the outside world was like.

"Big brother, I'll sit here for now. We'll have tea together another day." After sitting in Yipinzhai for a while, Cao Xiangnan knew that the upstairs was busy at this time, so he didn't stay here any longer. He said goodbye to the shopkeeper Zhao and left.

After getting on the carriage, Cao Xiangnan asked the driver to go to Aning's place.

It was almost the New Year, and the people at home were urging him to come to the town to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan to go to their home to celebrate the New Year. The spicy hot pot business in the store has always been good. Many people just like this and have become regular customers of their store. Aning was reluctant to close the store, otherwise she would have gone to their home to spend the winter.

A few days ago, I told Aning that I would pick him and Xuanxuan up today. The shop would be closed and would reopen after the Chinese New Year. When Cao Xiangnan went over, he found Aning was still packing up the shop. Only then did he know that his shop had been open for half a day.

"Now that there are customers coming to buy food, how can I ignore the business, don't you think?" Aning smiled and he had a reason, "Just be happy, Xiangnan, wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

"..." Cao Xiangnan, you are the brother, you are right, whatever you say is right! Let the staff who followed him help Aning pack up.

The rough man had seen such a good-looking guy before, and his face turned red when he was looked at. Fortunately, his skin was dark and it was not noticeable. The helping man worked very hard and quickly helped to clean up the remaining things in the store.

Aning was grateful for his help and smiled at him in gratitude.

Xuanxuan happily followed behind his uncle Xiangnan as a little tail, wherever his uncle Xiangnan went, he went. Xuanxuan liked Uncle Xiangnan the most, a little less than Am, but Uncle Xiangnan was the second.

I just don’t know what this kid’s father would look like when he knew that his own kid had no place here at all and almost regarded another man as his father.

Cao Xiangnan never knew that he had such good luck with children. After coming here, he was so popular with children. Children like nothing more than delicious food and toys. If you satisfy the children in everything, who else can they like if they don’t like you? Even their own fathers

are so close to them! But he also likes these little radishes very much.

"I caught you!" Cao Xiangnan turned around suddenly, grabbed the little tail and picked him up.

"Ah..." Startled, Xuanxuan shouted. It was obvious that he and his uncle Xiangnan were used to playing this game, and he was not afraid. He put his hands around his uncle Xiangnan's neck and laughed, shouting, "Uncle, uncle." "Hey.

" Cao Xiangnan responded.

Seeing the big and small quarreling, Aning smiled and shook his head. A smile also appeared on his face. At this time, the store was packed up and closed. He took two sets of clothes for himself and the child, ready to go back to the town to open the business after the New Year. He took the package and took the child to the carriage and followed Cao Xiangnan to Caojia Village.

Before, he didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were. Now he knows the hardship of life. Although he can't give the child a rich life, he wants to make his life better. Next year, he wants to save more money to buy a small yard in this town, so that he and the child will have a home.

Thinking of the person far away in Fengdu City, Aning shook his head and didn't think about it. He and the child are living well now, and he doesn't want to take Xuanxuan back to that place at all.

The carriage swayed towards Caojia Village. The children chattered all the way in the carriage. Aning smiled faintly. It was good now. He liked the present life.

Aning knew that Wanfeng was worried that he and the children would be lonely in the town during the New Year, so he urged him to go to his place to celebrate the New Year. It was only two days before the New Year. It was better to go there now. There were many people and the children were happy. It

was still cold in late winter, so they didn't let the children go out to play. The fire in the fireplace in the house was burning brightly, and the whole house was warm. The children played at home. The youngest child in the family has reached the age of crawling and learning to walk. All the small things in the living room have been put away, for fear that the little naughty child will destroy them. Many things in the family have been broken by the little naughty child.

If things are broken, they are broken. What they are afraid of is that the broken things will prick the children's feet. The things are worthless, but they will be very sad if they prick the children.

In the last month of this year, Cao Ruile was one year old and one month more. The little baby was born in the first month of the previous year. Now he is almost 18 years old. His little body is growing well and his bones are hard. After crawling on the ground for so long, one day he learned to stand up by himself. From then on, he bravely began to learn to walk.

It's just that this child who just learned to walk is particularly naughty, and Xiaobaoer was a particularly dishonest boy even before he could walk, let alone be obedient now that he can walk. But this is not certain, Lele and Xiaobaoer are about the same age, not much difference. Lele has been a well-behaved and sensible child since he was a child, and Xiaobaoer is getting tougher as he grows up. There are

a group of children at home, and the two boys from Sun Bailian's family are often sent to him, and the house is lively. There is

a short-legged boy following behind him, who can only walk two steps just after learning to walk, and wants to run with his brothers. This ideal is a bit full, but the reality is still more cruel. Little Baoer didn't cry after falling to the ground, but stood up lazily, and started to crawl on four legs to chase after the little one. "!" Cao Ruile, who was in charge of watching his younger brother, had a wooden face, and grabbed the little Baoer's hind legs as he was about to crawl away with a speed that a little fat boy could never have. When Little Baoer was about to choke on his lips, he handed the roasted chestnuts that he had not yet chewed to Little Baoer.

With food in his hand, Little Baoer narrowed his eyes and turned around to smile at his brother Cao Ruile, revealing his two little front teeth. "

………" Brother Cao Ruile turned his face away awkwardly.

Little Baoer looked innocent.

Qi Wanfeng was busy in the kitchen, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at the kids playing in the living room. When he didn't hear any crying, he would be at ease to do his job. The door of the house opened, and Cao Xiangnan, who had gone to the town to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan, also came back with his friends.

Jingbao saw Xuanxuan coming at a glance, and was the first to run over, followed by the children behind him.

"Xuanxuan...Xuanxuan..."

"Dad!" "Uncle Xiangnan." "Aning, mommy." "Well, go play your own games." Cao Xiangnan patted the heads of several children and let them play by themselves.

Seeing familiar friends, little Feng Chuxuan quickly joined his friends in the game.

Qi Wanfeng, who was inside, heard the sound and came over, and called out "husband" when he saw his husband coming back. After helping Aning to carry the bag in his hand to the room that had been cleaned for him, the two brothers left together.

When little Baoer saw his father coming back, his eyes lit up and he wanted to crawl over.

Cao Ruile, with a wooden face, grabbed little Baoer and then let go, meaning to let little Baoer pass. The unscrupulous father standing there squatted down and waited for clapping. The meaning was also very simple. He walked over and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth.

Cao Ruile, his own father looked so silly when he smiled! But the one who staggered over was even more silly. He turned his head away and didn't want to look. In the end, he still stared at the back of the little fool.

Seeing the wobbly little baby walking towards him and into his open arms, Cao Xiangnan picked up the soft and cute baby and kissed him twice. It was from the little baby that he experienced a lot of joy of being a father. Seeing his fat boy sitting there looking at him without moving, he walked over with a fierce face and stretched out his hand to pinch the little fat boy's face.

"Snap!" Cao Ruile resolutely slapped his father's paw away and gave him a look of contempt. He kissed the little baby and pinched his biological son. Maybe he was the one given to him for free.

"..." Dad.

Turning his head away to avoid his biological father's sight, Cao Ruile didn't want to admit that this was his stupid father.

"Come on, kid, tell your dad, are you hiding something from me?" The more Cao Xiangnan thought about it, the more he felt that his brat was abnormal. Have you ever seen a child who was only a few months old rolling his eyes at his biological father?

"..." Something is hidden from his biological father's son.

I won't tell you, give up. Cao Ruile gave his biological father a look. "Hurry up, brat, speak up. Confess and be lenient. Resist and be severe!" Cao Xiangnan wanted to force a confession from his son. "Xiangnan, what are you doing?" A voice came from behind.

Turning around, he saw his wife looking at him with a smile. Cao Xiangnan was almost startled. A smile quickly appeared on his face and said, "You are cultivating a relationship with my son, Cao Ruile, right?"

Cao Ruile turned his face away, no!"

... ... "Cao Xiangnan. "Puchi..." Qi Wanfeng couldn't help laughing, and even Aning who was following beside him smiled, "If I see you pinching Lele's face again, I'll make you pay!" Qi Wanfeng warned her husband not to bully his son because he was cute.

"How could that be? I like our little Lele so much." Cao Xiangnan smiled.

I'll believe you for now, Qi Wanfeng.

The dinner was sumptuous. Cao Gang and Sun Bailian's family also stayed with them for dinner. Everyone sat around the table. There were so many children in the house, and it was very noisy. The house was quiet for a while until Cao Gang took his two boys away.

It was getting dark outside, and the day passed like this.
