Qi Wanfeng, who was standing at the gate of the yard and saw her husband coming back from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief. He was still holding the child in his arms. The child was clinging to him and refused to let go for a moment, so Qi Wanfeng had to hold the child.

Fortunately, the child's fever subsided after a nap, and now he is still in a bad mood.

Cao Xiangnan walked over and touched the child. Now the child didn't even want him, but just clung to his mother.

Seeing Qi Wanfeng with a worried look on his face, he forced a smile on his face and said, "It's nothing, you don't have to worry, they won't come to us again in the future. If they come again, don't open the door to let them in, understand?"

"Yeah." Although Qi Wanfeng didn't know what happened in the Cao family compound, he knew that those things must have made his husband sad.

The two entered the house. Cao Gang was watching the two boys in the yard, while Sun Bailian was cooking dinner in the kitchen. When Cao Xiangnan met Cao Gang's eyes, he just said, "Nothing, I'll take care of it."

"Wanfeng, you watch the kids outside, I'll go inside to help." He then went into the kitchen and took over the work in Sun Bailian's hands.

There had been no peace in their yard these days, with a commotion every day. Cao Xiangnan just wanted to build the new house as soon as possible, and then raise the wall higher. Once the door was locked, those noisy people and things would be prevented.

After dinner, Cao Gang took Sun Bailian and the two boys home.

Cao Xiangnan also went out with a food box in his hand. "Wanfeng, you and the children stay at home. I'll be back soon." He said to Wanfeng.

"Okay." Qi Wanfeng was followed by a small tail, and behind the small tail were two small puppies. After sending her husband out, he and the children fed the dogs. Now Dabai and Xiaohei look different every day, and the puppies are growing very fast.

As soon as you see the name, you can tell who came up with it in his family. Now there is a big black and a little black at home, and a small house made of big white mud bricks, with thatched roof. At this time, the sun has not set yet, and the door is open, and the house is still bright. At the door is a small stove made of mud bricks. The old man cooks a bite of food here and takes it back to the house to eat.

"Uncle." Cao Gang came with Cao Xiangnan when he heard him say he was coming to Uncle's place. Hearing

the familiar voice, Uncle turned around, saw the person coming, and said, "It's Cao Gang, how come you have time to come to Uncle's place?"

"I came with Xiangnan, he has something to ask you." Cao Gang just learned from Cao Xiangnan that there was a piece of land next to him that belonged to Uncle, so he came with him. There were several lonely elderly people in the village, and he would usually send some meat to Uncle after hunting, and he would also send some to Uncle.

Cao Gang knew the character of Third Uncle. He was afraid that the whole Caojia Village would be more friendly to him. So it was no wonder that when Cao Xiangnan and Li Zheng came over that day, Third Uncle did not give Li Zheng face and drove them away.

"Third Uncle^" Cao Xiangnan hurriedly forced a flattering smile on his face and called out.

Third Uncle obviously recognized who this boy was. He was the boy who came with Li Zheng that day and said he wanted to buy his land. He snorted, and when he saw that it was Gang who brought him, he did not drive him away.

"I'll do it."

Cao Gang was about to take the pot from Third Uncle's hand, but Third Uncle did not give it to him. He carried the pot into the house himself, and the two people behind him followed him, and he did not drive them away.

There was a bed in the room, and some miscellaneous items facing the room. In the corner of the wall near the door was an old square table, which was used for eating. The third uncle put the pot he was carrying on the table. In the pot was a pot of green vegetable soup without even a bit of meat. In another pot, there was boiled rice porridge. The old man sat down and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I have eaten." Cao Gang also sat down and said.

There were only two stools in the room, and they both sat down. Cao Xiangnan naturally had no place to sit, but he didn't mind standing.

Cao Xiangnan quickly put down the food box in his hand, opened it and took out a bowl of meat, a bowl of vegetables, a bowl of steamed buns, and a small pot of wine, and placed them on the table one by one. When he met the look in his uncle's eyes, he chuckled twice and said, "Uncle, Xiangnan stewed the meat for me, try it."

The golden stewed meat was still steaming. He had just taken it out of the pot at home and came here. People always like to eat in one bite, and Cao Xiangnan didn't believe that anyone could refuse delicious food.

The old man looked at the delicious food on the table with cloudy eyes. The smell was very fragrant, but he didn't move his chopsticks.

Cao Xiangnan kept his body bent, waiting patiently. When he saw the old man pick up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly poured the wine into a small bowl with a small cup and handed it to him, asking, "Does it taste good?"

"Yeah." Third uncle picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp, "More."

"Third uncle, eat something first and drink less." Cao Gang took a steamed bun, tore it in the middle, put a piece of meat in it, handed the steamed bun to the third uncle, and said, "It tastes better this way."

This way of eating was taught to him by Cao Xiangnan. He now also likes to eat steamed buns with meat, and if there is lettuce, he will also pick up two slices of lettuce. It tastes especially good.

Two people were eating with the old man. They had already eaten, but they were just waiting for him to eat without saying anything. The old man had a good appetite. He drank some wine and ate meat with big mouthfuls. He ate all the meat and vegetables on the table, and the rice porridge in the pot. He probably couldn't bear to eat the remaining steamed buns, and probably wanted to eat them tomorrow.

After the third uncle finished eating, he got up from the stool, searched around, found a bag, and searched inside with the weak light. He found a piece of paper, put it on the table, and said, "Take it."

"Thank you, third uncle." Cao Xiangnan's face showed joy. He didn't think it would be so easy.

He knew that he was here today thanks to Cao Gang. Seeing that the old man was not unfamiliar with Cao Gang and spoke in a very good tone, he thought that the two of them should have a good relationship on weekdays. No wonder Cao Gang said he would come with him when he heard that he was coming to his uncle's place.

So it was here.

Hehehehehe...

Cao Xiangnan took the paper with a silly smile on his face, took out silver from his pocket and was about to give it to his uncle. This was the money for buying the land for him.

"Take it back, and send two more bowls of meat and wine in the future. You can also take this silver back." The old man waved his hand, with impatience on his wrinkled face, and ordered the guests to leave, "It's getting late, you should go back too, I need to rest."

The sun set and it was getting late.

"This..." Cao Xiangnan didn't know what to do. You have to pay for buying things, right? How can you not pay? This old man has such a strange temper. A few days ago, he was afraid that he would take his land, but now he gave it to him for free.

"Well, let's go back. Third uncle, you should rest early." Cao Gang pulled Cao Xiangnan and shook his head at him.

The two of them came out of the Third Uncle's place, and the wooden door closed behind them.

"Just take it and send two more bowls of meat to him in the future." Cao Gang knew the old man's temper best. Since he said he didn't need to give it, he didn't need to give it. He knew that the old man liked a good piece of meat, and it would be better to send him a bowl of meat from time to time than to give him a few taels of silver.

"Well, okay, that's fine." Cao Xiangnan nodded, "Thank you, Brother Cao Gang today." He said.

"No need."

The two of them went back to their respective homes.

As night fell, every household in Caojia Village closed its doors. There was no moon tonight, and there was not even a star in the sky.

At this time, everyone had gone to bed and was sleeping soundly.

In a corner of the village, several people gathered from all directions and whispered something. It was a dark and windy night, the perfect time for thieving. A group of people came out of the village, where there was only one family. They came to the yard.

"You squat, I'll go up."

One person squatted down, and the other stepped on the squatting person to go up, climbed over the wall and flipped over into the yard, unbolted the door from the inside, and opened the door of someone else's yard.

"Woo, woo, woo..." The little puppy in the kennel was awakened, and raised its head and whimpered there, anxiously trying to climb over the kennel. The horse in the stable stood up, snorting constantly, and swishing its tail. Being woken up in the night, the bad-tempered horse's face became even longer, and its triangular eyes looked at the thief approaching it.

"This horse can be sold for a lot of money, let's take it away."

"Be careful."

"Got it."

One person carefully untied the reins tied to the pillar, and three people watched on the side, two people were vigilantly keeping watch, and one person went over to help.

"Hiss--" The horse kicked its front legs and made a hissing sound.

"Ouch!" The one who was kicked fell to the ground and cursed, "This damn beast."

"Woof woof woof... woof woof woof..." The little puppy cried heartbreakingly.

The people in the house woke up at this time. Cao Xiangnan held down Qi Wanfeng who was about to get up and said, "You stay in the house to look after the child. Don't come out. I'll go out and take a look." He did not go out immediately, but lit the lights in the house and asked loudly in the house, "Who is outside?"

"The people inside are awake."

"Go quickly."

"This horse..."

"Come back another day."

Cao Xiangnan took out a stick in the house and opened the door. When he came out, he saw several black figures running out of his yard. He picked up the stick and pretended to chase them, shouting, "Stealing things, thief, don't run away."

"Hiss-" "Woof woof woof-" "Run, they are chasing you."

The one who ran to the end fell down and ran away rolling and crawling.

Cao Xiangnan stood at the gate of the yard and did not chase after them. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure going out. He was sure that those people were evil-minded but not brave enough to commit murder or arson. Qi Wanfeng and the child were still in the house, so there was no need for him to chase them desperately. Dahei,

whose reins were untied, was free. He walked over from behind and bumped his master with his nose.

"Husband, are you okay?" Qi Wanfeng also got up from the bed, went out of the house, and saw his husband standing there. He walked over and asked with concern.

"Nothing, those people are gone." Cao Xiangnan turned around and grabbed the horse's reins, pulled the horse back to the stable, tied the horse back inside, touched Dahei's head, and said, "Thank you for tonight. I'll cut some tender grass for you tomorrow."

Dahei snorted twice, reluctantly agreeing.

"Let's go back to the house and sleep. Those people should have come to steal the horses." The horses were still here, so they probably didn't steal anything. Cao Xiangnan reached out and touched the puppy's head, letting them sleep well.

The two returned to the house, and when they lay down on the bed, both of them couldn't sleep.

"Wanfeng, there's some time, sleep a little longer." Cao Xiangnan hugged Qi Wanfeng and patted his back gently. After the person in his arms breathed evenly, he fell asleep and woke up, but he didn't sleep well.
