When Cao Xiangnan woke up the next day, he had two panda eyes and two dark circles under his eyelids. He didn't sleep well last night, so he was not in a good mood this morning. The soup in the pot was cooked, and he drank two big bowls of soup before he felt a little recovered.

"What? It must be those people in the village, damn it, I will send them to the authorities if I catch them." Sun Bailian jumped up when she heard that Qi Wanfeng was robbed here. It was no wonder that it was the work of those thieves in the village.

"Wanfeng, are you guys okay?"

"We're fine."

Cao Gang asked with a gloomy face, "Did you see how many of them there were?"

"Four." Cao Xiangnan also had someone he was suspicious of. The back of the person who ran out at the end was too familiar. He could recognize the person he had lived with for more than ten years even if he turned into ashes. He felt ridiculous to tell others that his brothers had visited his house at night.

"Those people may come again. I think they came to steal horses. We woke up when we heard the horses neighing last night. Those people ran away when we came out. Fortunately, nothing was missing from the house." There were quite a few things in the house now. Not to mention the rice and grain, there was also some silver in the house. If it was stolen, it would be gone.

Fortunately, there are always people here, so there is no need to worry about thieves coming in during the day and stealing things.

The problem is that the place where he lives is far from the village. Even if he is robbed in the middle of the night, there is no one to help catch the thief, so this is a difficult matter. They can't even stay up all night to catch a few petty thieves.

"Think about this matter again and see how to deal with it." Cao Xiangnan thought in his heart and said.

"Yeah." Cao Gang nodded, he was also thinking of a way...

Sun Ji's face was solemn after hearing this, and he obviously thought of this point.

The rice noodles in the kitchen came out in a winnowing basket and were quickly loaded onto the carriage.

The land next to them has been bought, so they can start building a house here. Cao Xiangnan has calculated that he has some money now, so building a brick and tile house is not a problem. There are still a batch of orders from Yipinzhai in the back, and there will be more in the future. While building the house in the back, money will continue to come.

"Brother Cao Gang, I will go to the town with you guys later and find a fortune teller to choose a date to build the house. The wall here is too low, and it is easy for thieves to climb over at night. When we build the house, we will make the wall higher." Now that they have been targeted by thieves, the house building has to be put on the agenda, and Cao Xiangnan also wants to build the house as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll go with you later." Cao Gang said.

Cao Dapeng and Sun Ji also knew that Cao Xiangnan was going to build a new house. They all remembered that when they first came here, this place was still uninhabitable. However, if there was money, it would be better to build this house earlier. They were also worried when they heard that there was a thief here in the middle of the night.

"Xiangnan, if you need any help, just ask." Sun Ji said.

"Okay." Cao Xiangnan patted Sun Ji on the shoulder and said, "When the time comes to build a house, I'm afraid we will have to find some people from the village to help.

"And me, and me." The big fool shouted as if he was afraid that people would forget him.

"I know, I know. "Cao Xiangnan smiled. He was very grateful to these brothers in his heart. Otherwise, he would not be where he is today. All blood ties are as bland as water in front of money and interests. In fact, people are selfish. He has already experienced all kinds of pain and sorrow in his previous life. Fortunately, although he no longer has those people in the Cao family compound, he still has Qi Wanfeng and the children, as well as these brothers. He is not fighting alone.

Every morning at the pier starts with excitement. When they arrive in the town, They went up to the port and set up the stall. People from the ships that docked here would come down to buy things for the ships. As soon as they opened the stall today, people came and bought more than half of the rice noodles, and also bought a lot of other food. They did a lot of business as soon as they opened the door.

In the morning, people would come to buy food, and have a bowl of porridge and a portion of rice noodles for breakfast. Their stall business is very good every day now. If they encounter people coming to buy things for the ships like today, they will not have to worry about the business for the day as long as they are generous.

"You guys watch here, we will go back and prepare some more. "Fortunately, it is still early, and the carriages traveling between the village and the town

can be fast. Cao Xiangnan told Sun Ji to look after the stall, and he got on the carriage and left with Cao Gang. They bought things in the town and went back to Caojia Village. Qi Wanfeng saw her husband coming back so soon and couldn't help asking, "Why did you come back so soon today?"

"I met a big customer this morning." Cao Xiangnan told him about the good things that happened when he opened the stall to do business this morning.

Qi Wanfeng smiled and said, "That's good. "

His belly is getting bigger and bigger now, and he gets tired after standing for a long time. Fortunately, he is not the only one doing the housework now, and everyone helps. His husband doesn't want him to be too tired, and he will take care of his body now. If he can't stand it anymore, he will sit down and rest, instead of forcing himself like before.

"Dad." Kang Kang called out to his father when he saw him coming back.

The rice noodles were still steaming in the kitchen. As soon as Cao Gang came back, he went into the kitchen to help. He reached out and touched his son's head. The father and son had the same face, even the wrinkles on their eyebrows were the same.

Cao Xiangnan went to soak ten more kilograms of rice, and then started to deal with other things. He prepared the offal and put it in the water. While simmering in the pot, another pot of braised pork was made. The aroma of the stewed meat in the two pots filled the air.

The child in the room woke up, An An called out "Auntie" from inside, Qi Wanfeng heard the voice and went in. The second kid of Sun Bailian's family also woke up, with sleepy eyes, but there was no need to pay attention to him. Sun Bailian was still busy in the kitchen and had no time to take care of his kid.

"Wanfeng, are you going to pee? "Jing Bao rubbed his eyes, opened his mouth and yawned and said.

Qi Wanfeng took the child down and let him go down to pee by himself.

There are still many differences between the little brother and the boy in some aspects. His An An is much more spoiled than the two boys in Sun Bailian's family. She has been feeling unwell these two days, so she is even more attached to him.

The two children in the room woke up. Qi Wanfeng led the two children out and filled bowls with porridge for the little ones to eat.

"Wanfeng, go and have breakfast first." Cao Xiangnan said.

"Okay. "He is easily hungry now. He has been busy all morning and is hungry now. Qi Wanfeng also sat down to eat with the kids.

Now everyone knows how to do things. If anyone is busy, someone can take over. Everyone is busy with their own things. The food stalls in the town have been set up, and it is the result of the efforts of all of them.

The second batch of rice noodles is ready, and they sent it to the town together with other things.

At this time, the fortune teller also set up a stall to tell fortunes for people. Cao Xiangnan found the fortune teller here. There was a signboard with "Li Banxian" and a blind fortune teller sitting in front of the stall. When someone came over, his blind white eyes moved and asked, "Boy, can you let me touch your hand?"

"Old sir, I'm not a fortune teller. I'm here to ask if you have a good day recently. I want to see a day to build a house." Cao Xiangnan said.

"Build a house." Li Banxian counted with his fingers and reported a day. He said, "Ten days later is a good day."

"Sir, are you free today? Can you go to Caojia Village with me? I'll pick you up in a carriage and help me find a good place to build a house." Cao Xiangnan thought for a while and asked again.

He didn't believe in these things before, but now he can't help but believe in them. Some things are better to believe than not. It's always good to find a fortune teller to pick a date and a place before building a house. You still have to believe in Feng Shui and other things.

"Well, let's go." Li Banxian stroked his goatee and nodded. Cao

Xiangnan turned around and called Cao Gang to come over, asking him to take the old gentleman to Caojia Village to check out the land. The things about the stall were handed over to Sun Ji. Sun Ji was now able to take care of things on his own, so they were relieved.

"Old gentleman, please get on the carriage." When Cao Xiangnan helped the old gentleman get on the carriage, the old gentleman grabbed his hand and said this, and he didn't pull it away.

"This fate..." Li Banxian, who was blind in both eyes, had been fortune-telling for most of his life, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. It was really strange. However, Li Banxian nodded and said, "From now on, you will be rich and powerful."

Cao Xiangnan was happy when he heard it. Everyone likes to hear the fortune teller say that you will be rich and powerful. He just thought that this blind fortune teller said this to everyone. He smiled and said, "Then I will accept your good words, old sir."

They returned to Caojia Village. Cao Xiangnan led Li Banxian to the land he bought and asked, "Sir, where do you think it is better to build a house?"

"It's the land under my feet. With this place as the center, you should build it here. It will ensure that your descendants will be rich and safe." Li Banxian stopped moving when he reached here. He stomped his feet and said.

"Thank you, old sir." Cao Xiangnan bowed and said with both hands.

He took out the red envelope that he had prepared long ago from his pocket, handed it to the gentleman, and said, "It's just a small gift and a token of respect. I hope you don't mind it."

Qi Wanfeng happened to come over at this time. Li Banxian's blind eyes looked at the boy who was coming, moved his fingers, stared at his belly and said, "Well, this baby is a boy, congratulations to both of you."

Qi Wanfeng was a little scared when he was looked at like this, and smiled when he heard the gentleman say that, "Really?"

"Husband, there is a boy in my belly." He grabbed the husband's hand and said.

"It doesn't matter whether he is a boy or a brother. They are all our children and I will love them." Cao Xiangnan smiled when he saw Qi Wanfeng was happy, but in his mind, boys and brothers are the same, there is no difference.

Li Banxian heard this and sighed, saying, "You are a good person, and you will be good in the future."

"Thank you, old man." Qi Wanfeng said.
