The spring rain came late. This year's rain was much less than in previous years. It was not until the beginning of spring that we finally got a rain. It was light and not heavy. The spring rain moistened everything silently. After the rain, the grass and trees all sprouted.

The land turned over, and with the rain, the crops were planted quickly.

Wang Dahu led people to plant the newly bought land. The group of men lost a lot of weight, but they were all energetic and had hope for the future. When the crops were harvested in autumn, they would have food for the New Year and next year.

In the eyes of these people, the land is their foundation. Only when they planted the land and had food, they felt at ease.

The workshop gave everyone three days off to busy themselves with spring farming.

After moving to the town, Cao Xiangnan often went to the village and had more things to do.

The three children in the family, plus Xuanxuan, went to school together every day and gradually adapted to the new environment.

Xiaobao cried for a few nights and realized that this was their new home. Even though he looked aggrieved, he stopped crying and clung to his mother. He even wanted to sleep with her and didn't want his favorite Lele. Cao Ruile's face

became even more tense after being abandoned by Xiaobao.

After moving to the town, it was more convenient for Qi Wanfeng to go to the store. It was lively outside when he went out, and he also liked to go out for a walk. Compared to staying in the yard all day in the village, at most he would go to Sun Bailian's house, after arriving in the town, he often went out. Bao'er was clinging to him and couldn't leave him for a moment. Wherever he went, he would take the child with him. With Bao'er, Le Xiaozi would naturally be taken with him.

Seeing that Wanfeng had found something he liked to do and was living a happier life than before, Cao Xiangnan also thought it would be better to move to the town.

After a busy day outside, he had to compete with Bao'er, that brat, for his wife at night. Cao Xiangnan was definitely the one who wanted to spank Bao'er the most, but he couldn't really spank the little brat, so he could only watch his wife in silence.

"Pfft..." Qi Wanfeng couldn't help but smile at her husband's resentful eyes, and leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth.

Seizing such an opportunity, Cao Xiangnan immediately swallowed his wife into his stomach.

Qi Wanfeng, who was tortured by her husband, was finally carried back to bed by her husband with limp hands and feet. He didn't remember much about what happened afterwards, but he only remembered that he was embraced in a familiar embrace, and he knew that this was his husband.

The first piece of cloth came out of the garment workshop, and everyone was so happy.

Li Mei touched the new cloth, and did not disappoint the boss's trust in him to hand over such an important matter to him. He used his nervous heart to do his best in everything the boss asked him to do.

The cloth is wider and longer than the cloth produced by traditional looms, and the material is thicker, but the feel is not as delicate as that produced by traditional looms. This quality issue can be improved. Ordinary people don't pay too much attention to clothing, and the focus is on the clothes being thick and wear-resistant.

If they can produce on a large scale, the cloth output will be large and the price will be low. In this era of material scarcity, it can greatly meet people's clothing problems. Cao Xiangnan came to the garment workshop after receiving the news, looking at the new cloth with a thoughtful look on his face.

He intended to take Cao Wenwu with him as his own man. Cao Xiangnan still trusted the Li Zheng family style. The three boys were all of good character. He happened to be short of manpower here, and Cao Wenwu was a good candidate. Cao Wenwu is still young, a little outgoing, but has a flexible mind. He can be entrusted with important tasks in the future. He is a good boy.

After talking with Cao Wenwu, Cao Xiangnan officially took him to work with him. The boy shed his usual playful smile and became serious about his work. He did not avoid the boy about the garment factory and took him to the garment factory to see the new cloth.

Cao Wenwu touched the strange-looking loom, his eyes full of curiosity.

The first piece of cloth came out, and then the second and third pieces...

Isn't this a good start?

Cao Xiangnan was also going to Nanyang with Shen Zhengyang. It was already halfway through March. If they didn't go to Nanyang now, their plan would be stranded. He entrusted the matters in the workshop to the managers. With Cao Gang in charge, Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu there, he had nothing to worry about. Sun Ji

went to Nanyang on the 15th day of the first lunar month after coming back to have fun. When he went there, the river was not navigable yet, so he went to Nanyang by land. Cao Xiangnan still didn't quite understand what was going on with Sun Ji. Although that guy was wrong, if he really wanted to live together, there was room for discussion.

But the marriage is over. It is better not to marry a person with a bad brain. Sooner or later, he will bring himself into trouble.

Sun Ji was not at home. Cao Xiangnan went to see him twice. The two old people were old and not in good health. They missed their grandson very much when they were away from home. Sun Yanshan was in charge of the accounts at Cao's house in the town. He could go home before sunset every day and take care of the two old people. He would also ask people to bring some fish and meat to the two old people.

They had to take a boat to Nanyang in the early morning.

The advantage of living in the town was that it was much more convenient for him to go to Nanyang. He did not have to get up early in the morning to catch a carriage to the town, and he could spend more time with his wife before going out. After sending her husband out, Qi Wanfeng looked at her husband who had left, put away the reluctance in her eyes, turned around and went back, closing the door of the yard.

This time, Gan Weilin followed Cao Xiangnan to Nanyang. He waited in Caojia Village for a long time but his brother didn't come back. He was a little impatient. If Liu Baishu hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to go find his brother. But Liu Baishu was right. If he went to find his brother now, he wouldn't know where he was. With his brother's personality, he would naturally come back to find him after he finished his work. If he went to find him now, he might even interfere with his brother's work. It would be better for him to wait for his brother obediently.

But he just couldn't sit still. If he followed Cao Xiangnan to Nanyang, maybe he could meet his brother, right?

"This winter is finally over, and I can finally see you here." When Fang, the shopkeeper, saw Cao Xiangnan coming, he put down what he was doing and walked out. When he saw this boy coming, he pulled him in happily, as if he were a family member.

He told Cao Xiangnan about the heavy snow last year. At that time, many people were trapped in Nanyang City. If it weren't for the governor who sent troops to guard Nanyang City at that time, Nanyang City might have been in chaos.

In winter, Cao Xiangnan had always been nesting in Caojia Village, living happily in his home with his wife and children, and really didn't know the outside world. Later, he heard some things, but what he knew was limited. After all, it was not as clear as the first-hand information he got from Fang, and only then did he feel the horror of a snowstorm.

Speaking of this, Manager Fang also sighed in his heart, "It's nothing, it's all in the past, all in the past. Come on, let's go inside. I'm really happy to see you here, why don't you listen to me and live in Nanyang City?

How about the yard brother making arrangements for you?"

So that he wouldn't have to wait so long for this kid to come.

"Haha, forget it. We just moved to Fenshui Town. The kids at home finally adapted to the environment. I dare not move again in the short term. "Thinking of what Bao'er had done, Cao Xiangnan hurriedly shook his hands and politely rejected Manager Fang's kindness. This was Cao Xiangnan's plan. He didn't think he would leave Fenshui Town in the short term. He had invested so much money and spent so much effort there. Now everything was finally getting off to a steady start. He had no reason to abandon that place and run to Nanyang. In Nanyang City, there was Sun Ji, Manager Fang, and Shen Zhengyang. It would be convenient for him to get things done, and he didn't have to do everything himself. By going back and forth between the two places, he could also take care of both sides, and there was no need to move his nest to Nanyang.

Thinking of the extreme weather in the previous life, severe cold often turned into drought and scorching heat the next year. Thinking of this... It was already March and there was still little rain, Cao Xiangnan felt a little uneasy. They didn't feel a noticeable water shortage near the river, unless the entire river dried up, they would be out of water.

But what about further inland to the north? If the March rain didn't come, it would definitely not be a good sign.

This uneasiness was quickly forgotten in the busyness.

No wonder Shopkeeper Fang always wanted him to come to Nanyang. As soon as he arrived, he caught him to do work. How could he not miss him?

When he saw Sun Ji, Cao Xiangnan didn't expect Sun Ji to have lost so much weight. He was still the same person, and the smile on his face was still the same smile, but he always felt that there was something in Sun Ji's eyes that could not be melted away, "Why have you lost so much weight? If you don't know, you might think I'm cheating you!" He said jokingly.

Sun Ji smiled. The white robe he wore gave him a scholarly air, even though he was supposed to be a profiteer with a smell of money all over his body.

"Are you feeling okay? If you feel tired, take a rest and leave things to the people below. There's no need to do everything yourself. Otherwise, why waste so much time to train people up? They must work, so if they don't get paid, it would be a waste, right? "Cao Xiangnan instilled in Sun Ji the idea of ​​enslaving his subordinates. Seeing that Sun Ji had lost so much weight, he was really a little worried.

After confirming again and again that Sun Ji was really fine, and was just too busy and didn't get enough rest, and lost several pounds due to exhaustion, he still told people to see a doctor and to rest well if he was tired.

He talked to Sun Ji about his grandparents, told him about his family affairs, and asked him to go home to visit them when he was free.

"Yeah. "Maybe it was because he thought of the old man at home, the smile on Sun Ji's face softened a little.

Just when he came here, Cao Xiangnan asked Sun Ji to take a rest and let him do the rest of the work. But Sun Ji was simply restless. After going back to sleep for a good night, he went to work vigorously again.

Cao Xiangnan couldn't do anything about it.

"I know, I know, you have said it many times, I am not a child, don't worry." Sun Ji didn't know Cao Xiangnan was so nagging, so he asked him to do his own thing and he could do it here, he urged.

The two discussed the matter here and made a preliminary plan. The rest of the work was still taken over by Sun Ji.
