At dawn in the early morning, the big ship docked at the pier was loading cargo. Bare-chested men carried cargo on their backs and stepped deftly on the pedals to get on board, put the cargo on board, and then came down to carry the next bag on board. "Be careful!" Several men here carried a big wooden box on board, and no one knew what was in it.
A master and a servant standing at the pier watched the men carry the things on board.
"Master, are you really going?" The servant who followed the master asked with a bitter face.
"I'm here now, if I'm not really going, then am I here just to see the scenery?" Shen Zhengyang glanced at the stupid servant and said, "If you don't want to go, just stay in Nanyang. I'll take the others with me." "No, no, no, young master, if I don't go, who will serve you? I want to stay by your side and serve you." He didn't want to stay, because the old lady would beat him with a stick. The stupid servant was not stupid, so he shook his head violently, licking his face and being very flattering.
What kind of master is what kind of servant, this is absolutely true.
After waiting for a whole winter, the river finally thawed and the big boats were sailing. He could finally go to Caojia Village to find Cao Xiangnan. Shen Zhengyang was happy when he thought of this, and he put away the fan in his hand.
When he saw the last person carrying the things on board, he shouted, "Get on board."
"Set sail!" With a command, the big boat pulled up and slowly left the dock.
When Old Lady Shen found out, his grandson had already boarded the boat and headed for Fenshui. "Nonsense!"
The river was still so turbulent at this time, but he hurriedly boarded the boat and headed for Fenshui without even consulting his grandmother. However, if his grandson had told him, he would not have let his grandson go at this time. He would have to wait at least another half a month. So it
was no wonder that Young Master Shen acted first and then asked for permission, and ran away first.
Mrs. Shen, who was standing aside, was worried about her son. Seeing that the old lady was angry, she did not dare to speak.
"Alas, this child knows how to run around all day long, and he doesn't know how to bring a few more people with him." What if he encounters something on the road? What should we do! The old lady was worried about the safety of her grandson on the road. "
Old lady, why don't we send a few guards to follow him?" Mrs. Shen said.
"Well, that's the only way." The old lady waved her hand and asked the housekeeper to pick a few people to go.
Seeing that the old lady sent people to follow Yang'er, Mrs. Shen felt relieved.
"I think Yang'er can't sit still at home, or there is no one in this family who can tie him down." Old Lady Shen sighed. Originally, she wanted to wait for Mei Ge'er to find a well-educated and well-mannered boy for her grandson, but now that Mei Ge'er is pregnant, the palace is afraid that it will not be peaceful, so this matter has been put on hold.
When Mrs. Shen heard what the old lady said, she understood what the old lady meant, and told her about the boy from the Nanyang City.
There are not many families in Nanyang City that can compare with their Shen family. The rich family marries the boy, and the poor family marries the daughter-in-law. When looking for a daughter-in-law, they look for a virtuous, sensible and capable wife, regardless of whether the family is rich or not.
"...But, it depends on Yang'er's opinion. When Yang'er comes back, we'll talk to him and see which boy he likes. Then we'll let the matchmaker come to the house in advance to settle Yang'er's marriage." It was because Old Lady Shen was too doting on her grandson, otherwise the grandson's wife would have been married long ago. A few years ago, her grandson was still young, but these few years, he has his own ideas as he grew older. Young Master Shen, who was heading to Fenshui Town, didn't know that his grandma and grandma had been so worried about his marriage that their hair had turned white.
The man standing on the bow looked at the surging river, thinking that he would soon be able to go to Caojia Village to find Cao Xiangnan. Shen Zhengyang was happy in his heart. He brought good things to Cao Xiangnan this time, and Cao Xiangnan would definitely be very happy to see the good things he brought.
"Master, the wind outside is so strong, let's go inside." The servants following him begged their master to go inside. What if he got sick in such a strong wind? Then when he went back and told the old lady that he had not served his master well, he would be guilty of an even greater crime.
The wind outside was indeed strong. After being outside for a while, Shen Zhengyang felt cold and went into the cabin. The servants following him breathed a sigh of relief.
The house was very lively in the morning, and the two boys were noisy.
After breakfast, the older ones went to school with their little schoolbags, and the two younger ones stayed with them. The house suddenly became much quieter. "It's really a headache." Qi Wanfeng breathed a sigh of relief as his ears finally calmed down.
"If there is such a commotion every day, it will really kill me." He said.
No wonder Sun Bailian wanted to have a little brother, and she felt so sorry for him. He gave birth to a boy.
"Now you know, why do you still think about having more children all day long?" Cao Xiangnan held his wife's waist and kissed her on the face. Found that Xiao Baoer was staring at him with round eyes, he lowered his head and kissed his baby.
"Daddy...here, here, I want it." After being kissed on one side of the face, Xiao Baoer turned his head and offered the other side of his face to let his father kiss the other side.
Cao Xiangnan could only pretend to be helpless and kissed him again, but he was actually happy in his heart. Xiao Baoer was soft and had a milky fragrance, which made people want to let his white and tender face be licked twice to satisfy their gluttony.
I'm just afraid of my wife's glare.
Cao Ruile, who was sitting next to him, looked at his father with a vigilant look, and leaned forward to look.
"Haha..." Seeing his fat boy's actions, Cao Xiangnan laughed, "Stinky boy!"
"Of course, I'm willing to give birth to as many children as my husband wants." Qi Wanfeng said, looking at her husband with a smile.
Cao Xiangnan knew that what his wife said was true. Their foreheads touched each other and he said seriously, "If you want to have more children, I can't bear to let you suffer. Let's make a deal first. In the future, we can have at most one more child. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a boy." "If... it doesn't matter if we don't have any more children. We already have several children in our family. When they grow up, they will all be our children." He now knows that it is not so easy for a boy to get pregnant. It depends on chance. It's not that you can get pregnant just by saying so. Some people can never get pregnant again after giving birth to one child.
But now he is a little suspicious because people in this era live too hard. Not only do girls have to work even after being pregnant for ten months, but most girls go to work in the fields right after giving birth, and they don’t have much good food. This kind of hard work will damage their bodies and make it difficult to get pregnant again in the future.
Cao Xiangnan has never really wanted Wanfeng to get pregnant and have another child so soon. It would be hard to take care of the child after giving birth. Old Doctor Luo also said that Wanfeng’s body was too damaged and she had to take good care of it in the future. So whether they can have children in the future depends on whether they are destined to have children.
"Yes, I know." Qi Wanfeng understood in his heart, he nodded, and his eyes were a little sad.
Then they went to Sun Bailian together.
Sun Bailian was in good health when she was pregnant, so he didn't have to do any housework. The birth process was also smooth, and he hardly suffered any pain. The next day after the birth, his body recovered and he wanted to get out of bed and walk.
If his mother hadn't been watching him, he would have walked out of bed long ago.
"You'd better not get out of bed. Rest in bed for a few days." Qi Wanfeng was shocked when he heard that this person didn't stay in bed to rest after giving birth. The weather in March was not cold, but it was not hot either. It was still a little cool.
They had a fireplace here, so the house was warm and they didn't have to worry about the cold.
The child slept when he was full in the crib and ate when he was full. He was a child who made people worry less. Qi Wanfeng went to see the child. When he saw the child wake up, he picked him up and helped him urinate. The child cried twice, and he gave the child to Sun Bailian. Sun Bailian took the child and held him in her arms. She held him softly, so he was afraid that he would hurt the child if he held him too hard. This was the first time he held a child after giving birth. He smiled at the child's features and said, "I think the third boy looks more like Gang Ge."
"Well, his nose and chin look like his father, and his eyes look like you. He will be a good-looking boy when he grows up." Qi Wanfeng came over, and the two of them commented on the child together.
Sun Bailian only then began to like the child a little.
It was not until Sun Ammu came in with the hot goat's milk to feed the child that Qi Wanfeng asked about Sun Ammu. When Sun Am saw Qi Wanfeng, she smiled and talked to him,
and was also polite to Qi Wanfeng. Sun Am knew in her heart that her brother's family could have a good life today because they went to the town with Cao Silang to do business. Otherwise, with the temperament of her brother's man, he would not be good at doing business except hunting in the mountains.
Now her brother's family not only lives in a big tiled house with green bricks, but also the man of her brother's family has become the village chief of Caojia Village. He is also a person who can speak the local language in the village. This is all thanks to Cao Silang, who is the lucky star of her brother's family.
"Then Sun Amao, you stay here, I'll go outside to see the two little ones, call me if you have anything." Qi Wanfeng said. "Okay, go ahead, go ahead. I'll be here for you." said Sun's mother.
Seeing how carefully Sun's mother took care of the children, Sun Bailian felt relieved that his mother was here. He stayed in the room for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing for him to do, he went out.
Sun Bailian watched Wanfeng go out eagerly. There was no one in the room to talk to him, so he didn't want to stay in this bed anymore. However, when he saw his mother was there, Sun Bailian could only put on a bitter face and hand the child to his mother to feed with goat milk.
At this time, Cao Xiangnan and Cao Gang were sitting in the hall talking, and the two children were sitting on the blanket. Baoer had run away, but Lele was still sitting there, yawning with his mouth open. It was obvious that he was sleepy. Qi Wanfeng came out and saw the two children, one moving and one quiet, and he couldn't help laughing. Little Baoer could always find something he liked to play with all day long, even if he couldn't find something to play with. He could play with his feet and laugh for half a day.
"Husband, if you have something to do, just go and do it. I'll stay in Bailian and go back later." Qi Wanfeng knew that Husband was busy at this time, so he said to Husband when he came out. Cao Xiangnan nodded and said, "Okay, then you stay here. I'll see if I can come back for lunch at noon. If I'm busy, I won't come back."
"Okay, then you go. If you're not busy, go home for lunch." Qi Wanfeng said.
When Cao Xiangnan was busy, he would eat something casually outside as a meal and would not go home. He said to Cao Gang, asking Cao Gang to stay at home and he would go and deal with anything outside, and then he got up and left.
Seeing her husband leave, Qi Wanfeng stayed at Sun Bailian's place, and Lang Ge'er stayed here to help him look after the two children. Fearing that Cao Gang might not have slept all night, he asked Cao Gang to go to the house to sleep for a while.
Cao Gang shook his head and said he was not sleepy, and went into the house to see his wife and children.
People in the village behind knew that the village head's wife had given birth, and one after another people caught chickens and ducks and carried pork to the door, and once they put them down, they went to work. At this time, no one had time to spare, and they all came and left in a hurry.
It was noon and her husband hadn't come back yet. Qi Wanfeng took the two children home for lunch. Then the two children were sleepy and wanted to take a nap, so he coaxed them to take a nap. While coaxing them, he also fell asleep in the children's bed.
When he woke up, the sun outside was setting.
