"Come down slowly."
Cao Xiangnan got off the carriage first, and then reached out to take the children down from the carriage. The children got off and looked at their new house curiously, even though they had come to see it before. An An asked, "Dad, is this our new house?"
"Yes, our new house in the town."
The last ones to come down were Wan Feng and Xiao Baoer.
Lele had a wooden face. The little one could get down and walk by himself, and he walked very steadily. In his arms was a little white fox snoring in his sleep. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't tell that such a small ball of white was a little living thing.
"Brother, walk carefully." Xiangzi followed Adi diligently and responsibly, fearing that Adi would fall.
Cao Ruile accepted it with a wooden face because he had such a good brother.
The gate of the courtyard was opened. The housekeeper knew that the master and his family were coming today, so he had been waiting outside the door with two servants. When he saw the carriage coming, he hurriedly went forward to welcome the master and the young master Zhengjun. Seeing that the young master was cute, he even praised him.
"Wanfeng, this is housekeeper Wu, his surname is Wu, and his given name is Qi." Cao Xiangnan introduced the housekeeper to Wanfeng. Housekeeper Wu had met Zhengjun before, and saw that the master and Zhengjun were both good-tempered and not difficult to serve, so he respectfully greeted Zhengjun.
Two young slaves also came forward to pay their respects to the old master Zhengjun. Their names were given by their new masters. The one on the left was Jinxiu, and the one on the right was Jinyan. Their facial features were still good, but their faces were sallow and they were skinny. It was obvious that they had not lived a good life in the past.
The man was bought by his husband. His husband had told him about this before, and Qi Wanfeng also knew about it. It was the first time he saw the man, so he recognized him.
"Master, Zhengjun, the young masters, please come in quickly." The housekeeper hurriedly invited them in.
Liu Lan followed the master and helped carry the packages. He smiled at the two young men who were a little older than him. The two brothers smiled back, knowing that this little boy was a servant of Zhengjun, and they had something on their mind.
The group went inside, and the two brothers, Jinxiu and Jinyan, walked behind to help watch over the young masters. It was the first time they saw the old master's sons, and they didn't expect that the old master had so many children at such a young age. The two young masters looked about the same age, and they kept their doubts in their hearts, doing their things carefully, and didn't dare to have other thoughts.
When crossing the threshold, Xiangzi seriously pulled Adi over, but Adi's legs were too short, and Cao Ruile put on a wooden face and let the elder brother pull him over the threshold that was half his height. Qi Wanfeng glanced at the two little ones with a smile on his face.
The plants planted in the courtyard were added a few more years ago. Now they have sprouted new buds and are full of vitality. It is completely different from what he saw last time. The two young brothers are efficient and have cleaned the house inside and outside. The small courtyard was renovated according to his instructions a year ago. There is no difference from the outside, but there is a lot of things inside. Cao Xiangnan is used to the house of his previous life. He does whatever he wants. The doors and windows of the house have been replaced. There are some differences between this place and home. I think he will get used to it after living here for a while.
The town is much more lively than the village. The back door of their yard is the street. People come and go. It will be much more convenient for the children to go out and play in the future. In the village, they lived at the foot of the mountain and always worried about wild animals coming down from the mountain. They had to be careful not to let the children run out to play in the yard. Now they don't have to worry about this.
They lit a firecracker at the door and took off the red cloth hanging on the plaque, which read "Cao Mansion".
They had to invite relatives and friends to a meal when they moved into a new house. They invited a few good friends to Yipinzhai for a simple meal. Those who came were all good friends who usually interacted with each other. Manager Zhao also came.
A group of little guys played together. Aning was very happy to see Wanfeng and his family move to the town. The two sat together and had endless things to talk about.
The town is the busiest in the morning. After noon, people who come to the town to do business start to rush back home with baskets on their backs. At dusk, there are fewer people walking on the street, and those who stay here are people who live in the town.
Walking on the streets paved with green bricks, there is less noise than in the daytime, and there is another layer of flavor. The setting
sun hangs at the end of the street, and the afterglow shines on the street.
The day passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.
As soon as it got dark, the little baby started to make a fuss, pointing at the door and crying for "huihuihui". The child recognizes the house. He plays well during the day, but when it gets dark, he stops playing and insists on making a fuss to go home.
"This is our home. Look, Mom is here, Daddy is here, Lele is here too, right? Look, the brothers are all here, how can this not be our home?" Qi Wanfeng pointed to the house and told Xiao Baoer that this is also their home.
"Go back, go back..." The child didn't cry loudly. Xiao Baoer had always cried softly since he was a child. Now he was in a bad mood and pouted. His big tears fell one by one. He turned his head and stared at the door, shouting that he wanted to go home.
Qi Wanfeng, the mom, felt so distressed that he almost cried with Xiao Baoer.
"Don't cry, don't cry, this is our new home." An An went over and kissed the poor brother. He would be wherever Mom was. He wouldn't cry, and Baoer shouldn't cry either. Several brothers surrounded Little Baoer and tried to coax him, but no matter how they tried, the child clung to his mother and even ignored his favorite father.
Cao Ruile's eyebrows were all wrinkled. The little white fox, who looked exactly like him, sat there, watching the crying Little Baoer, and there was nothing they could do.
"Husband, you and Lang'er take An'an and the others to take a bath. I'll take care of this." It was late. Usually at this time, the children would have taken a bath and gone to bed. Qi Wanfeng held Little Baoer and coaxed him, and asked her husband to take the older ones to take a bath first so that the children could go back to the house to sleep.
"Okay, I'll take them downstairs first." When Little Baoer started crying, Cao Xiangnan had no choice but to take care of the older ones first and leave Lele in the house.
Not all children are as precocious and sensible as Lele. Little Baoer is the kind of child that they should be. They cannot hit or scold him, and can only coax him.
"Be good, go take a bath and go back to your room to sleep." Qi Wanfeng patted the little Baoer in his arms who was crying and hiccuping. He refused to drink water, which made him feel distressed. He wished he could go back to the village right now.
But when he thought that they would have to go back today and tomorrow, they would have to go back all the time, which would be endless. Therefore, they had to coax the child even if he cried, and could not go back.
An An and the others also followed their father out obediently.
When Cao Xiangnan came back from outside, Little Baoer had cried himself to sleep. The child was asleep with his mouth closed, and his face was full of grievances. He looked so pitiful. As soon as he entered the room and saw Lele sitting there with two sparkling eyes looking at him, Cao Xiangnan couldn't help but lean over and kiss the fat boy, "Bao'er cried and you didn't comfort him at all, leaving your mother to comfort him alone."
"..." I'm still a child, okay! Cao Ruile.
"Are you asleep?"
"Yeah, he fell asleep."
"Husband, can the child stay in the room and sleep with us tonight?" Qi Wanfeng rolled out a hot towel to wipe the child's face. The little brows were twisted, and he wanted to laugh but felt distressed. He turned around and asked his husband if he could let the child stay to sleep with him.
Cao Xiangnan thought about it and nodded, so that he wouldn't have to cry and be coaxed early tomorrow morning. "Then let him stay in our room." He said.
I don't know if this child left his mother when he was a child. When Fang Ziye just left, Baoer cried every day like this, and they coaxed him for a long time at that time. Although Baoer is always like a happy fruit on weekdays, this child has no sense of security since he was a child. If something is wrong, he will express it in his child's way. He is very aggrieved.
Baoer stayed in their room, and Lele naturally stayed with him.
At night, there were two little ones on the bed, and a little white fox. I threw it out, but I didn't know where it came from. It just wanted to run to the bed and sleep next to Lele. Cao Xiangnan had tried too many times before, and he had given up and thrown this little thing away.
I don't know what kind of creature it is. It looks like a fox cub and eats more than a pig. It eats so much but doesn't grow meat. If it were a pig, it would weigh at least 300 pounds if it was not 500 pounds!
There was no crying of the children, and they finally rested.
"Go to sleep." After taking a bath and getting into bed, Cao Xiangnan kissed his wife's forehead. The two children were in their room, so he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary. Baoer is a child, but I don't know if their fat boy is a child.
The little boy was sleeping with his arms and legs spread out, snoring softly, and sleeping soundly. Baoer curled up under Lele's creaking, and the two children slept together in this strange and harmonious position.
Qi Wanfeng said "hmm", found a comfortable position in her husband's arms, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a short while. The two people hugged each other and cuddled together in the way they were most familiar with each other, and the other person also gradually fell asleep. The
person who slept unsteadily at night got up twice, got up to check on the children in other rooms, and was relieved to see that the children slept well. Cao Xiangnan woke up as soon as his wife in his arms moved, so he had no choice but to get up with her.
Children can adapt to new environments better than adults. They eat well, play well and sleep well. They are the ones who worry about them.
"Okay, can you go back to sleep now?" Cao Xiangnan asked helplessly.
"Husband, I'm sorry."
"Let's not say that."
Qi Wanfeng's eyes were filled with apology to his husband. When his husband kissed his lips, he raised his head to respond to his husband's kiss, and then fell into a deep sleep. Holding his wife in his arms, Cao Xiangnan undoubtedly woke up later than usual the next day. The
first ray of sunlight in the morning came in through the window, and the person on the bed moved and opened his eyelids. When he woke up, Cao Xiangnan saw that the person in his arms was still sleeping, and he reached out to rub his eyes. Lele had woken up by now, but Baoer was still sleeping soundly. He got up carefully, dressed the fat boy who had just woken up, and carried him out.
The children at home got up early and played in the yard. Xuanxuan came to them early.
After breakfast, Cao Xiangnan asked a carriage to take the children to the academy. It was a little late today, and it was too late for the children to walk there. When Wanfeng and Baoer woke up, the children who were going to school had already gone to school.
Baoer, who had cried yesterday, still had swollen eyes when he woke up in the morning. He curled up in his mother's arms, with vigilance in his black grape-like eyes. Cao Xiangnan teased the child for a while before making him laugh and let him hold him. He couldn't help but kiss the child on the face several times. This adorable little thing, it makes people feel distressed.
"Then I'll take Baoer and Lele with me." Qi Wanfeng was going to take the two little ones to the store together. Yesterday he talked to Aning about going to the store today.
After she got pregnant and then gave birth to a child, it was inconvenient to take the child out. If it wasn't for that incident, her husband was afraid that it would be dangerous for him to bring the children to the store. In fact, he would be worried too, so he didn't come much later. In the blink of an eye, the two children have grown up.
He left the store to Aning alone for so long, and it was hard for Aning. He felt a little sorry. Fortunately, they have moved to the town now, so it will be convenient for him to go to the store in the future.
"Okay, let's go." Cao Xiangnan was going to the workshop. He sent Wanfeng and the child to the store first, said hello to Aning, and then went to the workshop.
