Ox carts carrying things entered the village. When they arrived at Caojia Village, they asked where Cao Xiangnan lived, then went through the village to the end of the village, where Cao Jia Silang lived. The people in the village didn't know that Cao Jia Silang was going to build a house. Seeing the ox carts passing by, they heard that they were going to Cao Jia Silang's place, so they followed behind to see the excitement.

"Is this Cao Xiangnan's house?" The leader of the team got off the ox cart, knocked on the door of the yard, and asked.

There was a knock on the door and it was Sun Bailian who opened it. When he saw the ox cart behind him, he quickly answered yes and turned around and shouted inside, "Wanfeng, Xiangnan, someone has brought you things to build your house."

At this time, Cao Xiangnan was still busy in the kitchen. When he heard the sound, he came out. He saw Boss Chen at the door and he was not a stranger to him. He wiped his hands and walked over, saying with a smile, "Really? You have to trouble Boss Chen to bring it here in person. Hurry up and have a drink of water in the house."

"No hurry, no hurry. You can drink it later. I'll bring you some of the things first, and the rest will be delivered to you in batches in the next two days. Is that okay with you?" Boss Chen said, pointing to the ox cart behind him.

"Okay, okay, okay." The day after tomorrow is the day to move into the new house. There are still two days left, and this house is not built in a day or two. Cao Xiangnan knows that transportation in this era is different from his previous life. A few large trucks can move everything at once. Here it depends on manpower and material resources, which is not easy, so there is no rush for this thing in one or two days.

"Where do you put the things?" Boss Chen saw that the other party was also easy to talk to, so he smiled and asked.

"Here." Cao Xiangnan came out and pointed to an empty space and said Qi Wanfeng came out of the yard with the children. He saw people moving things and wanted to help.

As soon as Cao Xiangnan saw Qi Wanfeng coming out with the child, he knew what he meant. He looked up and said to Qi Wanfeng, "Wanfeng, you just look after the child. You don't have to come over. We are here, so you don't need to come."

He now didn't let Qi Wanfeng do heavy work if he could. Although the doctor said that he was fine, his body was still there after all, and he was not suitable for such ups and downs.

People in the village hadn't seen Qi Wanfeng for a while. The sharp-eyed old grandmother saw Qi Wanfeng standing there, and knew from his figure that he was pregnant again. She turned around and talked to the person next to her. The look in her eyes was at the boy standing there, and it seemed that she was talking about him.

Not long ago, people in the village saw the three of them being driven out of the Cao family compound. Not long after, they were ready to build a house, and it looked like it was a big tiled house made of green bricks. Only a few wealthy families in the village lived in big tiled houses made of green bricks, so now people who looked at Qi Wanfeng envied her, saying that Qi Wanfeng was lucky and that he had married Cao Silang.

Qi Wanfeng didn't know that others were talking about him. His husband asked him not to help, so he didn't go. He looked down at the child at his feet, touched his head, and said, "An An, let's go back."

An An looked up at his mother, said "um", and followed his mother back.

The two kids at the back were also pulled in by their mother. The door to the yard was opened and not closed as usual. The kids were playing in the yard and did not run outside.

Boss Chen instructed the workers who came with him to move the things from the car, and Cao Xiangnan also went to help. Some kind-hearted people came to watch the excitement and helped move things.

There were many people working, and the things were moved down quickly. They were neatly stacked on the open space, covering the ground.

Cao Xiangnan saw that everyone was there, and said to everyone with a smile, "Xiangnan will build a new house here the day after tomorrow. I will cook a big pot of sweet porridge that morning. I invite the villagers to come and have a bowl of porridge when you are free."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely come." Someone replied.

"You must come."

In Caojia Village, it is a custom that on the first morning of building a new house, most people will cook a big pot of sweet porridge and invite the neighbors to come and drink the porridge. So Cao Xiangnan took advantage of this opportunity when someone came to watch the excitement and asked everyone to come.

Cao Xiangnan told the men who came to help to come when the time came, and they all agreed happily.

The wheels rolled, and the ox carts returned along the way they came, and the people who came to watch the excitement also dispersed.

On this day, everyone in Caojia Village was talking about Caojia Silang's plan to build a big tiled house with green bricks. Now when people in the village talk about Caojia Silang, they all say that he is a capable person. Naturally, someone mentioned that Cao Silang was lying on the sickbed and was driven out by the people in the Cao family compound. Now, when the people in the Cao family compound are mentioned, they all look disgusted.

"I wonder if that old thing Chen Zhu regrets driving him out." Someone laughed.

At that time, many people stood at the gate of the Cao family compound and watched them split up. Naturally, these outsiders also knew what Chen Zhu did at that time. Seeing this in the eyes of outsiders, they were chilled, let alone Cao Silang.

In the same village, they knew what kind of person Chen Zhu was. When they split up the Cao family, they only sent Cao Silang out. Who would have thought that Cao Silang was a capable person and could build a big tiled house by himself after being out for a short time.

"What? My fourth uncle is going to build a house?" Wang Yan from Cao Laoer's family heard that his fourth uncle was going to build a new house, and it was a big tiled house with green bricks. She immediately went back home and told her mother about it.

"This unfilial son, he didn't even come back to tell me that he was going to build a house. Does he still treat me as his mother?" When Chen Zhu heard that his fourth uncle was going to build a house, no one came to tell him. She was so angry that she threw away the soles she was sewing and went to Silang's house.

"He has money to build a house, but he doesn't even send some money to me, his mother. This unfilial son!" When he thought of how Sier had money to buy a horse and build a house, but didn't even give him a penny, Chen Zhu was filled with hatred.

But just as he was about to step out of the door, Chen Zhu took back his steps.

When Wang Yan heard his mother mention money, his face lit up. He remembered that when his fourth uncle used to bring back three taels of money every month, although the family didn't have meat every meal, at least they could have meat every three to five days. Since his fourth uncle left, they have never eaten meat again.

He wanted to go to his fourth uncle's place with his mother, but his mother didn't want to go. He asked in confusion, "Mother? Aren't you going to your fourth uncle's place? Why don't you go?"

Chen Zhu hesitated, remembering that his master hadn't spoken to him for several days. He retracted his steps, walked back to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, put on airs, and said, "No, I won't go. I'm waiting for that unfilial son to come and invite my mother to go." Yes, that

's it. Even if he is invited, he still has to think about whether to go. I won't go even if you guys come to beg me to go.

Wang Yan saw that his mother didn't want to go, and gritted his teeth in his heart, and didn't dare to urge his mother to go. Seeing that his mother was still daydreaming there, he thought bitterly that it would be his fourth uncle who would come and invite them to go before the sun rose from the west.

No, he has to go and talk to his eldest brother about this matter.

Chen Li, who was sewing in another room, heard Wang Yan say that his fourth uncle was going to build a new house. The needle in her hand almost pierced her finger. She asked, "Does mother know about this?"

"I just told mother." Wang Yan repeated his mother's words to her eldest brother, knowing that his eldest brother would have a way.

When Chen Li heard that his mother didn't go, she suppressed the idea of ​​going to her mother, sat back, picked up the needle and thread and started working again, and replied lightly, "Mother said to wait for fourth uncle to come and invite us, so let's wait for fourth uncle to come and invite us."

"This..." You clearly know that this is impossible, and Wang Yan dare not say it out loud, so she can only keep it in her heart.

When Cao Adie and the eldest son Cao Fugui came back in the evening, they heard the family talking about Silang's plan to build a new house. Cao Adie smoked his pipe in silence and said nothing. No one in the family dared to talk about it anymore. After dinner, the family sat together drinking clear soup and eating rice porridge. No one dared to speak at the table.

"Wuwu... Mom, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat..." The fourth son of the second son couldn't get any food and started crying because he couldn't eat enough. In the past, this boy was a spoiled one. It was common for him to cry for meat. In the past, he would cry for meat the next day. Now he has cried many times and still hasn't eaten meat.

But today, when everyone heard this cry, their faces looked so different.

Wang Yan, the second brother, quickly went to hug the fourth son, but he couldn't bear to hit him, so he patted him twice and pretended to be angry and said, "You are a greedy person, it's good to have land to eat, but you still want to eat meat!" He felt distressed in his heart. You see, the fourth uncle's family is about to build a new house, but his son doesn't even want to eat a piece of meat.

In his heart, he couldn't help but blame his mother for driving the fourth uncle away, and for not caring about them. Now that he has a good life, he completely ignores them.

"Divide the food in the pot to the smaller ones." Cao Adie put down his bowl and chopsticks and said.

In fact, there was nothing to eat in the pot, only some wild vegetables and water. The eldest brother Chen Li listened and divided half of the remaining dishes to the smaller table. Several children started to scramble for them again. Wang Yan held the fourth son in front of her and coaxed him, feeding the child the food in the bowl.

After dinner, Cao Adie sat in the yard, smoking a cigarette with a sullen look on his face.

Chen Zhu, who had wanted to scold his daughter-in-law for not working, saw the look of the head of the family and did not dare to scold anyone today. She could only stare at the unfilial people. Wang Yan put down her youngest son, cleared the table and went to wash the dishes.

Even the little ones in the family did not dare to act as unruly as usual, and only dared to sit together and laugh quietly.
