The weather in March was still a little cold. The fireplace was no longer lit in the house during the day. The temperature was higher during the day. Only at night when sleeping, for fear that the child would be cold, would the fireplace be lit to make the house warmer, so that the child could sleep better at night.

Sun Bailian's belly was very big and she was about to give birth. Her husband went out to work and the child went to the academy to study. She came to Wanfeng every day to do needlework to pass the time. It was also because Sun Bailian was about to give birth that Qi Wanfeng did not take the child to the town, but stayed at home to look after Sun Bailian, for fear that he would suddenly give birth and no one would take care of him.

The two children were playing in the house, while Sun Bailian was sitting there sealing the small clothes in his hands. He learned to make these clothes from Wanfeng. Although the clothes he made were not very good-looking, it was hard for him, who could not hold a needle and thread, to learn to make these clothes.

Hearing the footsteps coming in, he saw Cao Xiangnan coming back with a strange boy. He looked at him curiously, not knowing who the stranger was.

Cao Xiangnan introduced the two people, saying that Zhao County Magistrate was his friend and was visiting his home. Zhao Xianzhi smiled and nodded, and later he knew that the boy with a big belly was the wife of General Cao.

There were two children of similar age in the room. The handsome one was not afraid of strangers. He stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and chuckled as he crawled into his arms to ask him to hold him. He was a little confused and hugged the child.

"Bao'er." Qi Wanfeng was a little embarrassed and waved for Bao'er to come over.

The little Bao'er was still unwilling to go over. He was a typical person who liked new things and hated old things. He looked hard in the arms of his mommy.

"This is a very cute child." Zhao Xianzhi learned to read at the age of three, could write poems at the age of seven, won the top spot in the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, and served as an official in the court for eight years. He is now twenty-four years old. Most boys in other families have married and had several children.

He seemed to be born with a love problem, and he had never met anyone who wanted him to quit his official position and have children. He preferred being an official to being someone's wife or a mother. If he could rise to a higher level in the future and work for the benefit of the people, that would be even better.

He had a natural liking for children, but was a little afraid to get close to them. However, he could not push the child away when he ran into his arms. Looking at the child's cute appearance, there was a place in his heart that was so soft that he wished he could have such a cute child.

The child stayed in his arms for a while and then ran back to his mother's arms, which made him feel a little disappointed.

Qi Wanfeng tapped the naughty boy's nose, causing the boy to laugh in his arms. He also laughed. He didn't know what was so funny. The boy laughed all day long.

The children in the family didn't cry very often. They were mostly happy all day long.

Cao Xiangnan went to prepare lunch. They ate whatever food was available at home. It was just a home-cooked meal. There was not much time to make a sumptuous lunch at this time.

I don't know if the food was to his taste, but Zhao Xianzhi ate more than usual.

"Sir, please take your time."

The carriage outside was waiting to take the county magistrate back. After the county magistrate got on the carriage, the carriage left. The boy from the Liu family took the county magistrate back to the government office.

On the way back, Zhao Xianzhi, who was sitting in the carriage, looked thoughtful.

When he returned to the mansion, Zhao Xianzhi went into the study, sat at the desk and thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and asked the servant to find someone to send it out.

Cao Xiangnan didn't know how big a bomb he had dropped on the county magistrate. He was thinking that many people would send their children to the academy tomorrow and beg to be admitted to the academy. By then, all the vacant seats would be filled. When the seats were filled, the enrollment would be stopped, and those who came late would find a place to cry.

As he guessed, the fact that the county magistrate had gone to the academy the day before became known to everyone, and the next day, people were eager to send their children to the academy to study.

The county magistrate and his parents have been there, so this academy must be a good place. It is definitely right for them to send their children there. It only costs a little money, and maybe their children can pass the imperial examination in the future.

People are like this. When most people send their children to study, if your children are not sent there, they will be left behind. What if one day someone else's child becomes a scholar and wins the first place in the imperial examination, and your child can't read a single word, then won't your child fall behind? However, of course, there are people who think that it is a waste of money for children to study. Whether in this era or in the era of thousands of years later, this kind of thinking is inevitable.

There are many things when there are many people, and there are also bad people and things.

Cao Laowu set his sights on this academy again, and Cao Xiangnan directly drove him away. He really dared to think of anything! He really didn't trust Cao Gaojin's character and personality. He was afraid that he would teach his children the wrong way if he was allowed to be a teacher in the academy. He even thought unrealistically that he would come in to help him manage the affairs of the academy. He really thought too much.

He would be bored if he didn't find something to do in a day! He might as well help his father to plant those plots of land first. Otherwise, if the village is short of people to build the wall, he can go with him to build the wall. He shouldn't be calculating here all day long.

If Cao Laowu doesn't behave himself honestly, Cao Xiangnan will never assign people to work here.

Fortunately, his father and mother didn't come to him to make trouble this time, otherwise he might scold them. But when Wanfeng came home at night, he said that Zhao Xue, the wife of Laowu, brought a lot of things to their house, most of which were for Cao Laowu's little things. Cao Xiangnan really looked down on the things Zhao Xue brought.

Things were left behind, as for what Cao Laowu wanted, no way!

When the academy started classes in early March, the things in the academy came to an end. Cao Xiangnan was busy during this period, but this was just the beginning, and he still had a lot to do later.

This morning, as usual, Sun Bailian came to Qi Wanfeng's house when her husband went out. Unexpectedly, her stomach suddenly hurt. He knew that she was about to give birth, so Qi Wanfeng quickly called someone to send Sun Bailian back to his home in a hurry.

Cao Gang, who was outside, rode back on his horse as soon as he heard that his wife was about to give birth.

This was not the first child, and boys were usually easy to give birth to.

Sun Bailian gave birth not long after her stomach hurt, and she didn't suffer much. Hearing the baby's cry, the woman lying on the bed with her hair wet with sweat breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed her husband's hand, and asked hurriedly, "Husband, am I giving birth to a boy or a boy?"

Cao Gang glanced over there, not knowing whether it was a boy or a boy.

"Congratulations, it's a big fat boy." The midwife came over with the child in her arms, and she was so happy, because most families like to give birth to boys.

"..." Another boy!

Sun Bailian wanted to cry for a moment, she had worked hard for ten months of pregnancy, and she gave birth to another boy! Could he put it back in and give birth again? She was overwhelmed with grief and tears came out.

"Wuwuwu...Husband, I want a little boy, I don't want to give birth to a boy."

"Don't cry, whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all our children." Cao Gang glanced at the newborn monkey and concentrated on coaxing his wife. He made a note of the boy who made his wife cry as soon as he was born.

To him, no matter whether his wife gave birth to a boy or a boy, they were all their children, and Cao Gang liked them all.

"Wow..." The third boy was crying at the top of his voice.

The poor third boy was rejected by his mother as soon as he was born, and was hated by his father. This child who was disliked by his mother and loved by his father was really a poor little

boy. The mother-in-law holding the fat boy was a little embarrassed, but turned around and happily held the fat boy to wash. Which silly daughter-in-law would like to give birth to a boy instead of a boy? He must have heard it wrong, because he was crying with joy.

Qi Wanfeng, who came to help, had already told Aunt Liu to kill a chicken and make chicken soup, and to squeeze out and heat up the goat's milk, just to wait for the boy who had just given birth to eat something to replenish his body. The baby also needs to drink goat's milk when he is hungry.

After all the things outside were arranged, the baby was born in the house. Qi Wanfeng smiled. This was a boy who knew how to love his mother and didn't let his mother suffer.

After feeding the goat's milk, the child stopped crying and fell asleep in the crib. He was a good child. On

the bed in the house, Sun Bailian, who had just given birth to a boy, fell asleep with a grievance. Looking at the person who was sleeping with a frown on her face, General Cao leaned over and kissed her.

A tough man with a soft heart, that's probably it.

As for the third child who was born not long ago, neither his mother nor his father had held him. He would sleep in his warm quilt after eating and drinking enough. He did not need to be taken care of by adults. He was really a worry-free child.

When he knew that his eldest son had given birth to another child, his mother was very happy. When he was young, he always wanted to give birth to a child for his husband. However, the children he gave birth to were all boys. After giving birth to the youngest child, he did not take good care of himself and went to work in the fields early. After being sick, he could no longer have children. This has always been a regret in his heart.

So when he heard that his youngest son had given birth to another child, his mother bought chicken and pork and brought them over to take care of his youngest son.

But Sun Bailian, who gave birth to a boy, didn't think so. After giving birth to a boy, she sighed and couldn't get motivated at all. She thought she was pregnant with a little boy, but she didn't expect that it was a boy. Her fantasy was instantly shattered.

When they returned home from school, they learned that their mother had given birth to a little brother for them. When they saw the little boy sleeping in the crib, Kang Kang and Jing Bao showed their love for the little brother. They liked this little brother very much.

"Kang Kang Jing Bao, you two go out and play. Your little brother is asleep. Don't wake him up." Grandmother Sun showed great love for this little grandson. The older one was naturally more delicate than the newborn one, and needed to be taken care of. She was afraid that the two children would disturb the younger one, so she let the two older grandsons go out to play. The

poor little third son was not liked by his father, but fortunately he had a grandmother who loved him.

There were several children in the family, and Xiao Baoer couldn't leave home. Fortunately, Grandmother Sun Bailian came to take care of her. Qi Wanfeng went back to his own home with peace of mind, leaving Grandmother Liu and Lang'er there to help, and asked them to come back later when they had nothing to do.

"I heard that Bai Lian gave birth?" When Cao Xiangnan returned home at sunset, he learned that his grandson Bai Lian had given birth today. He asked, "Is it a boy or a boy?"

"It's a fat boy, very well-behaved, he goes to sleep after eating, and never cries or makes a fuss." But when Qi Wanfeng thought about how Bai Lian had a bitter face and cried when she found out that she gave birth to a boy, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was looking forward to giving her husband another boy!

He really couldn't help laughing when talking about this, because he knew how much Bai Lian wanted to have a little boy.

After dinner, before it got dark, Cao Xiangnan went to the opposite side. As a man, he couldn't go into the house to see Sun Bailian, so he talked to Cao Gang outside and asked a few questions. Knowing that Cao Gang was busy, he took his two boys to his house. Liu A-ma and Lang Ge'er also went home with him.

Cao Gang was taking care of Sun Bailian, and Sun A-ma was also there, and she also came over in a hurry.

"Come over and call me if you have anything." Cao Xiangnan said. He and Cao Gang's families were like one family, so there was no need to be polite.

"Okay." Cao Gang touched the heads of the two boys, asked Kang Kang to take care of A-di, and told the second boy to be obedient.

Usually they went to their uncle Xiangnan's house, and the two boys were willing to live with their uncle Xiangnan. Sun Bailian, who went to the house with his schoolbag, knew that the two boys went to Qi Wanfeng's place, but he was not worried. He would sleep when he was full and eat when he was full. There was another little one in the house. Except for crying like a kitten when he was hungry, he was usually very well-behaved.

His mother was a particular person. She said that her brother had just given birth to a child and it was not appropriate for the husband to stay in the house overnight, so she drove his husband out. Sun Bailian could only watch her husband being driven out, and did not dare to refute his mother.

"..." General Cao Gang was standing outside the house.

You can't mess with your mother!

At night, the crying of children was heard from time to time. Cao Gang, who couldn't sleep in the next room, got up and went to his wife's room. Even if her husband didn't say anything, Sun Bailian knew what he wanted to say. She coaxed his mother to go back and rest, and asked her husband to stay and take care of him.

Sun's mother was tired after a day and was indeed sleepy. After a few instructions, she went to sleep in the next room without any excuses.

Before going to bed at night, Qi Wanfeng was used to going to see the children first. The three boys slept together. An'an and Xingxing always slept together. An'an rarely went back to his own room to sleep. Finally, he went to see the two youngest ones and saw that the two little ones were sleeping well. It was still a little cold at night. He covered the children with quilts and went back to the room after checking.

On the table were some of the accounts that had been processed, neatly placed there. Cao Xiangnan packed up her things and went to bed when Wanfeng came back from outside.

Lying in her husband's arms, Qi Wanfeng thought of Sun Bailian giving birth to a boy, and asked seriously, "Husband, do you want me to give birth to another boy or another boy?" It was as if she

told her husband that if he liked a boy, he would give birth to a boy, and if he liked a boy, he would give birth to a boy.

"Puff..." Cao Xiangnan couldn't help laughing when he heard his wife's words, and asked, "Can you give birth to a child just because you like it?" How can you give birth to a boy or a boy just because you want to? Otherwise, Sun Bailian would not have given birth to a boy if she was obsessed with giving birth to a boy.

Qi Wanfeng also felt that there was something wrong with what he said, so he changed his mind and asked, "So, husband, do you like boys or boys?"

"As long as they are born by you, I like them all." Cao Xiangnan said this seriously.

Of course, as long as they are born by this person, no matter if they are his children or not, no matter if they are boys or boys, he likes them all. Even the children raised in their family, he doesn't dislike any of them, these are all their children.

When Qi Wanfeng thought about how his belly hadn't been pregnant for so long, he felt a little depressed. Not to mention that the boy was a boy, there wasn't even an egg in his belly. Thinking of this, he hooked his husband's lips and kissed him, wanting to hug him quickly.

Cao Xiangnan didn't know what this man was thinking at that time, so he let him do it and enjoyed this man's initiative.

The night gradually got later...
