Chapter 61 Recruiting a Child Laborer



"Pa pa pa..."

Aning picked up the child from behind and spanked him on the buttocks. She was as worried and anxious as she was looking for someone and a place just now, and now she was even more angry, "Ah, I told you so many times not to run around, why don't you listen! Do you want to make your mother worry to death? Why are you so disobedient?"

"What if you fall into the water again like last time? Have you thought about what you will do if your mother is gone?" The person who didn't shed tears just now because the child was missing, now that he found the child, he couldn't help but shed tears.

When Xuanxuan saw that his mother was crying, he cried "Wow--" and the food in his mouth fell out. He opened his mouth and cried sadly.

When Aning saw that the child was crying, he stopped beating him and cried while holding the child.

"Okay, okay, stop hitting the child. The child is still young and doesn't know much. Just take good care of the child in the future." Qi Wanfeng hurried to smooth things over. He was also a mother. When the child did something wrong, he would rather slap himself twice than hit the child. The pain of hitting the child was the mother's heart.

"Stop crying, it will make people laugh at you two." Qi Wanfeng looked at the boy who couldn't hide his appearance even with his rough clothes. He had rarely seen such a good-looking boy. The child was dressed in rough clothes, clean and white, and he was also a good-looking boy.

When An Ning heard this, he looked up at the boy who helped him find the child. He saw that the boy looked familiar. He looked at him intently, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Luo's Clinic, do you remember it?" Qi Wanfeng saw that the other party was looking at him with a puzzled look, so he gave a hint and pointed to the husband standing in front of the stall and said, "That's my husband."

"My benefactors, it turns out to be you." Aning looked in the direction pointed by the boy in front of him, and saw the little husband standing there smiling at him. His face turned red, "I, my name is Aning, thank you for helping me find my Xuanxuan."

Seeing that his mother stopped crying, Xuanxuan stopped crying too, and held his mother's sleeves tightly with both hands.

"My name is Qi Wanfeng, and that's my husband Cao Xiangnan." On the first day they came to Fenshui Town, they met Aning and his child. Qi Wanfeng also believed that this was their fate. He saw that the child was hungry, and said, "Xuanxuan hasn't finished the food in his bowl. You let him sit down and continue eating. I think the child is hungry too."

The three of them sat down at a table. Cao Xiangnan cooked an extra bowl of rice noodles and asked Cao Dapeng to send it over.

"Eat it." Qi Wanfeng handed the rice noodles to Aning and said.

"This..." Aning looked at this thing, he was a little embarrassed, but finally picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

In the end, the other party wanted to give money, but Qi Wanfeng didn't take it. Seeing Aning leaving with the child, he stood behind and sighed.

Cao Xiangnan grabbed Qi Wanfeng's hand and said, "Why are you sighing?"

Qi Wanfeng held her husband's hand, shook his head and said nothing.

Sun Ji, who had been running around in Fenshui Town for a day, came back with a smile on his face. Cao Xiangnan knew that he had a good harvest today. Today, the stall was closed a little later than the previous few days. When closing the stall, Cao Xiangnan asked everyone to go back to his place after dinner tonight.

Sun's father carried rice noodles to other villages these days, and he sold all the rice noodles in the basket every day. He could put dozens of copper coins in his pocket every day. In addition to the capital he had to give to Cao Jia Silang, he could still earn half of the money. He planned to take more starting tomorrow, and he could sell more if he walked farther.

When Sun Yanshan came back today, he saw that his son had not come back. It took him a while to get home before his son came back. He asked, "Why did you come back so late today?"

"Oh, the food stalls are a little late." Sun Ji said.

He saw that his father looked very happy, so he asked him how his rice noodles were selling. He heard his father say, "Not bad."

"Tomorrow I plan to order another five pounds of rice noodles. Do you think it's okay?" The father and son discussed this issue.

"Okay, Xiangnan asked me to go to his place after dinner. I'll go and tell him after dinner." He negotiated with two more restaurants today to order their rice noodles. From being rejected all the time to now having negotiated with several restaurants, Sun Ji also found confidence and smiled more often.

Grandma Sun saw her son and grandson going out early and returning late every day to do business, and she was happy to see the father and son talking and laughing. Seeing the old man sitting there, she reached out and pushed him. Grandpa Sun opened his eyes, looked at the old man who pushed him, and asked him what he was doing with his eyes.

The sun set in the mountains. After dinner, everyone gathered in Cao Xiangnan's yard and sat around the table. They came in and out of Cao Xiangnan's place every day, and they felt as comfortable here as at home.

"I called everyone here tonight to discuss something with everyone." Cao Xiangnan said after everyone had arrived.

"Our stall has been doing pretty well since it opened. In the first three days, everyone who came would be given a portion of clean radish, and there were quite a few people coming. But today, there is no delivery, and there are not as many people as in the previous few days, so not many people buy clean radishes. But if we deliver it every day, it will not be fresh after a few more days, don't you think?"

"Yeah." Sun Ji could understand, he was smart, and he understood this truth after Cao Xiangnan finished speaking.

Cao Gang sat there without responding, but he looked like he was thinking about something.

"I, I..." Cao Dapeng was a dull man, he looked left and right, and then stared at Cao Jiasilang.

Qi Wanfeng was feeding the chickens and rabbits in the yard. The two hens laid two eggs every day. Now that the family had enough money, they kept the eggs for the children. He was happy to see that the children's faces had gained some weight recently.

The chickens had grown up, and they were two bigger than when they were first bought. The vegetable garden had been fenced off, and the seeds had grown. The chickens at home would not spoil the fresh vegetables.

He was watching the chickens while listening to his husband talking.

Sun Bailian was playing with the children, and her ears were also focused on that.

"Brother Dapeng, can you tell me why our radishes are not selling well?" Cao Xiangnan noticed that Cao Dapeng was staring at him, so he asked by name.

"I, I..." Cao Dapeng noticed that everyone was staring at him, and for a moment he couldn't find his tongue, "I can't bear to spend a copper coin to buy a bowl of radishes."

"Are radishes delicious?" Cao Xiangnan asked.

"Yes, they are delicious." Cao Dapeng replied.

"Such a delicious bowl of radishes costs only a copper coin, but not many people buy them. So now this is a problem for us." Cao Xiangnan left this question here and left it for later to solve.

Later he also raised several questions, all of which were their current problems.

"We sell too few foods at our stall. Rice noodles alone are too monotonous. People who eat rice noodles every day will get tired of it. I now propose a suggestion that we cook an extra pot of lean meat porridge and sell it together. We can sell lunch together at noon." This lunch is actually equivalent to fast food. Cao Xiangnan explained the idea of ​​selling lunch in detail to everyone.

"I think this idea is very good. This way, our problem of cleaning radishes can be solved, and we can sell something else together." Sun Ji nodded and thought Cao Xiangnan's idea was very good.

Not long after everyone sat down to discuss, it was dark. They basically decided on tomorrow's affairs, sent away the people in the yard, and closed the door of the yard. The day passed like this.

Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian now take turns taking care of the child at home, which means they are at home every other day. He also keeps the house tidy and tidy, and he checks the crops in the fields every other day.

No one from the Cao family compound has ever come to their place, and Cao Xiangnan wishes they would never come.

During the day, the two of them would chat before going to bed while lying in bed. Cao Xiangnan hugged Qi Wanfeng, and he liked this person more and more. But until now, he has never touched this person. When he put his hand on Qi Wanfeng's belly, he felt a slight bulge under his palm.

There is a child here, their child.

Now their carriage runs in two trips, and later there will be a batch of rice noodles to be delivered to the town. Cao Gang, who came back for the second time, brought back the vegetables he bought. From today on, they also started selling lunch. They washed and cut the vegetables and brought them over to fry them. If they were fried for too long, they would not taste good. The second batch of rice noodles was ready, and Cao Xiangnan left with the carriage.

"Why is this kid here again?" As soon as Cao Xiangnan arrived, he saw the child that Qi Wanfeng brought back yesterday. Today, he came to him again.

"Xiangnan, do you know him? This child was here just now, and he didn't say anything when asked." Sun Ji stayed here to watch the stall. He just noticed the child standing here and asked him a question, but the other party ignored him and was very angry.

Cao Xiangnan walked over and touched the child's head. He asked, "Where is your mother?"

"Over there." Xuanxuan pointed in the direction of mother and said.

"Go, tell your mother that you are with Brother Xiangnan. Come back only after your mother agrees." If the little kid runs around without his parents' consent, your family will be worried, do you understand? Cao Xiangnan rudely slapped the little kid. All

disobedient little kids must be beaten, and this one is obviously dishonest!

He doesn't have the good temper of Qi Wanfeng. This little kid is obviously naughty, so how can he be treated gently?

Xuanxuan covered his head that was hit, glared at the person who hit him on the head, turned around and left with a puffy face.

The child who had been gone for a while came back again. Cao Xiangnan asked him if his mother agreed. Seeing the child nodded, he asked the person to sit down on the stool, asked Sun Ji to get him a bowl of porridge, and then he sat opposite the child.

The child stared at him, Cao Xiangnan grinned and said, "You can't eat for free, you have to use your labor to exchange, help clean the table, wipe the table and wash the dishes, do whatever you can, okay?"

Xuanxuan nodded seriously, and when the porridge was brought to him, he took a big gulp and drank it without hesitation.

Tsk, did he hire a child laborer for himself?
