I got up early and stretched my back at the door, looking at the mountains not far away and the white clouds floating on the top of the mountains in the distance, as if people standing on the top of the mountains could touch the sky. Cao Xiangnan still felt that everything at home was so familiar. This place was his root. No matter how far he walked, this was always the place where they started.

He beat the eggs into the flour and kneaded the dough. Cao Xiangnan prepared to make egg pancakes. Only by eating this could he fill his stomach. After eating it, he could go out to work. The porridge in the pot smelled of rice and was ready.

The two servants were used to seeing the master working in the kitchen. At first, Jinxiu and Jinyan were so scared that they knelt down and begged the master to go out and let them come. How could the master's family work in the kitchen? Wouldn't it be a burden for these servants?

Cao Xiangnan was frightened that time. How could it be so serious? He just made a meal for his wife and children. He persuaded them and even Qi Wanfeng in the room heard the noise and came out to let the two brothers get up.

Seeing the old man busy in the kitchen, the two brothers left one to help in the kitchen while the other went out to clean the house. They were no longer as surprised as they were at the beginning.

The pens behind the yard needed to be cleaned and the livestock needed to be fed. The sheep had given birth to several lambs, so they were divided into two pens. The stables also needed to be cleaned, otherwise the smell would be bad. The Liu family father and sons were cleaning the pens while Aunt Liu mixed chicken food and fed the chickens.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck..." Seeing the big chickens hatch chicks, the eggs were usually sent to the town for the young masters to eat, but they were reluctant to eat any of them.

White smoke was rising from the chimney, and the people in the kitchen were making breakfast.

"Turn down the fire a little, I'm going to make pancakes." After kneading the dough and preparing to make pancakes, Cao Xiangnan asked Jinyan, who was sitting in front of the stove and lighting the fire, to turn down the fire so as not to burn the pancakes.

Upon hearing this, Jinyan turned down the fire in the stove a little.

Everyone worked in the fields yesterday, so everyone must be tired today. Xiangzi usually wakes up early to help him, but today he hasn't gotten up yet. Just as Cao Xiangnan was thinking, he saw Xiangzi coming to the kitchen, standing at the door and shouting "Dad."

"You're awake, why don't you sleep a little longer? Are you too tired yesterday?" Cao Xiangnan asked when he saw the child coming in.

"It's OK, not tired." Actually, he felt a little tired, but everything else was OK. When he got up, he saw that his father was making breakfast. Xiangzi saw Jinyan helping here, and he asked his father if there was anything he could do for him.

"Go and see if Baoer and Lele are awake, and wipe the faces of the brothers." Cao Xiangnan asked Xiangzi to go and see his brothers, and he would have breakfast after baking the pancakes here.

"Okay." After answering, Xiangzi went to see his brothers.

The children in the family got up one after another at this time. Baoer's clothes were all neatly dressed, and I guess the brothers helped him to dress them. Lele followed behind Baoer. The two children have been inseparable since they were born.

When he woke up and tried to get up, he felt a sharp pain in his waist. Qi Wanfeng almost doubted that he would be unable to get out of bed. He felt pain all over his body. There was an empty place beside him. Hearing the noises outside, he knew that the children had all gotten up. He slowed down, supported his waist and got up, opened the door and went out.

"Mom, hug me." As soon as the little Baoer saw Mom, he rushed over and hugged Mom's legs, and climbed up with his hands and feet.

Qi Wanfeng was afraid that the child would fall, so he quickly caught the little guy with his hands. His two hands were so soft that he almost dropped the little guy to the ground. He quickly put the little Baoer down, kissed the little Baoer on the face, and asked, "Baoer, you got up so early. Are you good, Baoer?"

"Baoer is good." He said it seriously and with a serious face.

"Bao'er is awesome." Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched Lele's head. Both children had small buns on their heads. He asked, "Did your brother comb your hair?"

"It was Xiangzi." Bao'er answered quickly.

When Aning woke up in the morning, there were a lot of bumps on the back of his neck. They were red and itchy. He didn't know if he was bitten by insects yesterday or what. Seeing this, Qi Wanfeng quickly took the ointment for mosquito bites and applied it to Aning, asking, "Do you feel better after applying the ointment?"

"Yeah, much better." Aning nodded. He felt that the back of his neck was itchy when he went to bed last night. He touched it with his hand and felt a lot of bumps. He wet a face towel with water and applied it. When he woke up this morning, he found that it was still not healed, so he told Wanfeng when he went out.

"Why didn't you tell me last night? How did you sleep in such a noisy night?" Qi Wanfeng saw that Aning was not in good spirits, and was afraid that he didn't sleep well last night. Aning smiled and didn't say anything. Everyone was tired after coming back yesterday, and he didn't want to disturb others. He thought he could just bear it, but he didn't expect that he would have a lot of pimples when he woke up this morning.

The two brothers looked at each other and laughed.

The two brothers, Jinyan and Jinxiu, prepared the cooked food and put it on the table. Cao Xiangnan came out and saw the miserable state of these two people. They were not as good as Xiangzi, a child. Xiangzi also went to work for half a day yesterday, and he had nothing to do when he woke up today.

"I think you two should not go today. You two are not bad for the work." There was a lot of land, and what could be harvested should be harvested quickly. Cao Xiangnan wanted to hire a few men to help with the work, which would be faster. He told Wanfeng about his plan to hire a man.

"Why don't you stay at home and cook some food, and send it to the people working later." Cao Xiangnan said.

Harvesting grain is hard work, and he saw that the men working in the fields were not full every day, so he might as well cook some food for them to fill their stomachs and have strength to work.

Qi Wanfeng nodded and agreed, "Then Aning and I won't go today. We'll stay at home and cook some food." This way they can have a rest and help the husband in the field.

Seeing Aning's look, Qi Wanfeng didn't dare to let him go to the field. Aning had never done this kind of work before. His skin was white, and his face was peeling from the sun. The pimple on the back of his neck looked very ugly.

He knew his own body condition, and there was no need to force himself to go. If he fell ill, there would be no one to take care of the children at home. If he went, Aning would have to go with him, so they simply didn't go.

After breakfast, everyone who could work in the family went to the field, even Xiangzi and Kangkang went with him. Qi Wanfeng saw that the only ones left were his brothers, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Look, we are the only ones left."

If the people in the village knew that his husband married a lazy wife, they would definitely gossip about him behind his back.

Aning was a little embarrassed. He didn't know that he had become so chaotic after just starting to work in the fields.

Sun Bailian looked confused. His husband used to be a hunter, and the family didn't do much farming. It was only in the past two years that he stopped going up the mountain and followed Cao Xiangnan to buy a few more acres of land to plant. The land at home was still cultivated by her husband. Now that her husband is not at home, Sun Bailian does not expect to do farm work on her own. She can only leave the task of harvesting crops to Cao Xiangnan to help her, and he will pay for the servants himself. "It's okay, we can help at home." Qi Wanfeng said quickly when he saw Aning blaming herself.

They worked hard at home for half a day to make a few steamed buns, stuffed with vegetables and meat, so that they could fill their stomachs. Not knowing how many people were eating there, Qi Wanfeng prepared more. He was not afraid that the extra food would not be eaten, but the less food would definitely not be enough.

There were only a few brothers and a group of children left at home, leaving Aning and Aunt Liu at home. He and Bai Lian sent the finished steamed buns over there, and also sent some porridge to her husband and the boys to fill their stomachs. During

the busy farming season, everyone ate three meals a day, and they would also have a meal at noon. After a full stomach, they could work better.

When they arrived, everyone had gotten up from the fields and were preparing to have lunch. The men in the neighborhood came to work in the fields, and their food was provided by the neighborhood. However, they had an extra lunch, which consisted of porridge with some dishes.

"I don't know what to make, so I made wo wo tou." Qi Wanfeng gave the finished wo wo tou to her husband, which was convenient to carry. Cao Xiangnan took it and took a look, praising, "It's OK, very good." He took two and gave them to the two children, and asked someone to distribute the rest to everyone, even the hired men who came to work.

Everyone thanked them repeatedly, because everyone could get two of these real wo wo tou, which would replace two bowls of rice. When they bit into the meat, they found that there was still meat inside. They were very grateful to the master for being so generous.

After telling everyone to rest under the tree for a while before going back to work, Cao Xiangnan took the two boys and Wanfeng home, and went to work in the fields for half a day in the afternoon. After eating the food provided by the master, when it was time to work in the afternoon, these men worked even harder.

When the sun set, the people working in the fields also came back.

The people who stayed at home had already prepared Wanfeng, waiting for the people working in the fields to come home for dinner.

Slaves could not eat with the master. Even if the master asked them to sit at the table, they would not dare to sit at the same table with the master. The host family treated them well, so they couldn't lose their manners. Jinxiu and Jinyan went to Liu's house to eat together.

"Eat more, you two have become so thin." Aunt Liu liked the two brothers very much. She thought that her two boys were still talking about marriage, and she liked the two brothers no matter how she looked at them.

They all served in the host family. If the two boys agreed, the marriages of his two boys would be settled. After all, everyone knew each other well, and it was better than going out to find a husband. If the husband knew that they were slaves, they might not be willing to marry his two boys. Don't they have two ready-made ones?

Jinxiu and Jinyan were both very embarrassed and said thank you. When they came to the old master's house, they ate better than before, the work was not tiring, and they all gained a lot of weight.

The two boys sitting opposite had red faces and did not even dare to raise their heads.

Seeing this, the two brothers lowered their heads and smiled. They were people who had served in wealthy families. Seeing Liu A-ma's expression, they knew what Liu A-ma was thinking, but they did not dislike it. When they served

in wealthy families before, the masters did not treat them as servants, and beat and scolded them. When they came to the new old master's house, they felt that they had lived a normal life for a few days. The old master and Zhengjun were not difficult to serve. They felt much better here than in the wealthy families before.

If they can find a man who treats them well and marry him, it is not a bad thing. They can also stay in the old man's house and continue to serve him. The two brothers looked at each other and made up their minds. They did not reject Liu's kindness to them.
