"Oh——" A day in the small village began with the first rooster crow.

The oil lamp in the house was lit. Cao Xiangnan would wake up naturally at this time. Now he woke up in the evening and was getting dressed in the house.

Hearing the sound in the house, Xiangzi also climbed out of bed at the first time, rubbed his eyes, blinked twice, looked at his brother who was sleeping beside him, and then looked at his uncle and mom who had already woken up, and he grinned.

"What are you grinning at?" Cao Xiangnan turned around and saw the boy sitting on the bed with a silly smile, and said, "Sleep a little longer."

Xiangzi shook his head, and climbed down from the bed with a grunt, his eyes sparkling, and his heart was particularly happy. He knew that from today on, he and his brother would come to a new home. They would have their own home now. He had to work hard and make his uncle and mom like him and his brother, so that they could stay here forever.

"Yes, Wanfeng, the household registration we separated from the compound hasn't been settled yet, I'll go ask Seventh Master what to do about it, and by the way, put Xiangzi and Xingxing's names on our household registration." He had to go to Li Zheng for this matter, and inform Li Zheng about taking in the two children and see how to deal with it. Since he had decided to raise these two children, Cao Xiangnan was not just talking. "

Well, okay." Qi Wanfeng thought it was a good idea. They had to set up a new household after they separated, and they would have to collect taxes separately in the future. He also mentioned the things to pay attention to to his husband. Cao Xiangnan listened and nodded. Seeing the child looking at him, he patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go, go out and work."

Xiangzi was very happy, with a pair of big black and bright eyes, just like a little wolf cub, and he worked very hard. He and Kangkang soon played together, and the two half-grown children worked together.

Everyone came to Cao Xiangnan early in the morning and saw the boy helping with the work, and they were a little curious.

"I want to tell you something. From now on, Xiangzi will no longer be called Xiangzi, but Cao Ruixiang, and his nickname will be Xiangzi, and Xiaomao will be called Cao Ruixing. They are also my and Wanfeng's children, and they will stay in my home. I plan to go to Li Zheng later to see how to adopt them, and also register their household registration in our home." Cao Xiangnan told a few people about his plan to raise two children. "Xiangnan, have

you decided to keep these two children in your home?"

"Yes, that's right."

When they heard that Cao Xiangnan was keeping these two children at home, everyone had different reactions, but without exception, they all thought it was a good thing.

They used to feel sorry for the two children, but at that time they couldn't even feed their own children, so they didn't have the energy to feel sorry for others. At most, they gave them some food once or twice, but not every day.

"Kid, you must know how to respect your uncle and mom in the future. They are kind-hearted."

Xiangzi smiled foolishly. He heard his uncle say that he and A-di were also their children, and he and A-di would have a father and a mother in the future.

Sun Bailian knew some things in the village. It was a good thing that Qi Wanfeng left these two children at home, but he was a little worried and had to remind him, "You did a good thing by leaving them here, but his grandmother and her people are not good people. I'm afraid they will cause trouble for you."

When Xiangzi heard about his grandmother, the smile on his face disappeared and he looked nervous, afraid that his uncle would not want him anymore because of this. Cao Xiangnan saw the child's stiffness, he reached out and patted the child's shoulder, sneering, "You dare to come to me, are you afraid of them?" "That's right, the two children are so young and you don't care about their lives, even the little land they have, and you wanted to sell Xiaomao at first. If they dare to come here to make trouble, there are so many of us, and our saliva is enough to spit that old man to death." Sun Bailian laughed when she heard it, and there was nothing to worry about.

Everyone talked and laughed in the back, and they were busy with their work.

The carriage went to the town early in the morning, and they hurried to the town to set up a stall.

When it was dawn, knowing that Li Zheng's family had already got up, Cao Xiangnan went over with a basket of buns. In the morning, the family made big meat buns, and he sent a few to his third uncle on the way. Then he went to Li Zheng's house and told him about taking in the two children.

"Well." After listening to it, Li Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's a good thing that you can adopt those two children. Those two children are so young and pitiful. I will go to the village chief with you later and write a certificate for you. The village chief and I need to put our fingerprints on it. Then you can go to the government office and find someone in the government office to register their household registration with you."

"As for the family tree, we have to change the family tree of the two children and put the two children's names under your name." "What about Cao Chunhua?" Cao Xiangnan also heard that the two children's mother was not a good person, so he asked.

Cao Chunhua is Goudan's grandmother. When Goudan's father died, his mother was still living in Caojia Village with two children. If Cao Chunhua hadn't taken away the land, she would have sold Xiangzi's mother to a widower in the next village for a few taels of betrothal money, forcing her to run away. Later, when her mother ran away, he still didn't give up. After the older one ran away, he even wanted to sell the younger one.

At that time, many people in the village talked about this matter, but who made Goudan's mother married from another village, there were not many people in her mother's family, and no one helped her. Later, when she ran away, Cao Chunhua wanted to go to her mother's family to ask for her back. Only he could do such a thing.

Li Zheng told Cao Xiangnan about what happened back then. He sighed and looked guilty. He said, "I, Li Zheng, feel guilty about this. I am also to blame for what happened to the two children. I understand some things in the village, but many times, the clan cannot resist. No matter right or wrong, the people who help are still our own people."

It was because Cao Chunhua was from their village that the people in the clan helped Cao Chunhua with what she did. In addition, the people ran away later, so the matter was left unresolved. But later, Cao Chunhua wanted to sell the little one. He stood up for her, and the people in the village accused the old man of being dishonest, so she didn't sell the little one.

"Luckily, Xiangzai is a smart kid. When Cao Chunhua wanted to sell his brother, he came to me and the village chief. I couldn't just watch Cao Chunhua ruin that kid. The village chief has gotten older and older over the years, and some people in the clan have grown old..." Li Zheng looked at Cao Xiangnan with expectation in his shining eyes, and said, "Boy, Caojia Village will still rely on young people like you in the future. We are all old."

Cao Xiangnan understood what Li Zheng meant in his eyes at this moment, but the burden was too heavy for him to carry. He said, "Life is made by everyone's hard work. What I can do alone is limited. It still requires everyone's efforts."

"Well, you're a good boy, I know." Li Zheng also smiled, his heart was as clear as a mirror. As for Cao Chunhua, Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "Cao Chunhua, don't worry about them. Just register the two children's household registration with you. If that old woman goes to your place to cause trouble, just notify me."

"Okay." There were only a few households and no big problems.

Li Zheng hurriedly ate a big meat bun, drank a bowl of porridge and went with him. With Li Zheng accompanying him, it was not difficult to get a handprint from the village chief. The village chief was still hesitant at that time, but fortunately he finally pressed his handprint and agreed to the matter. After

getting the piece of paper, Cao Xiangnan went home happily with the paper in his arms.

Wu Yue came out of the house early in the morning and also took Doudou to school without telling his mother. It was the first day for the child to go to school, and he was happier than the child. After sending the child to school, he went to Qi Wanfeng.

Later, Cao Gang came back from the town. Cao Xiangnan followed the carriage to the town and went to Yipinzhai to say hello to the shopkeeper Liu.

The shopkeeper Liu told him that he had found a shop for him at the pier and asked him to go and have a look when he was free, and rent it if he liked it. With the shopkeeper Liu as the middleman, the rent would be lower. Cao Xiangnan felt that the location was not bad, and he was happy in his heart. He said, "Xiangnan thanks you, brother. I will go and have a look later."

"Okay, okay, why do you keep thanking me all day? I don't need to be so polite to your brother. When you go to see it later, just say that I asked you to go." The shopkeeper Liu waved his hand, looking unhappy.

"Hey, Xiangnan will make two good dishes for you to drink with me someday." Cao Xiangnan said.

"Well, this is not bad." Manager Liu was more interested in the dishes Cao made, which was more useful than thanking him. Thanks to this guy, his business in Yipinzhai is booming.

"Brother, I'm leaving with Brother Cao first."

"Go ahead."

Now Cao Xiangnan has launched a series of fried rice in Yipinzhai. Yipinzhai has been launching new dishes continuously, and customers are coming in continuously. The business is particularly good. So now his recipes are given to Manager Liu, and Manager Liu is also very rewarded.

After all, in addition to the Yipinzhai in Fenshui Town, the prescription would also be sent to Nanyang City, and Manager Fang also gave him a generous gift in return. They were mutually beneficial and each got what he needed. He paid attention to maintaining the relationship with Yipinzhai. With Yipinzhai as a partner, it would be much more convenient for him to do many things in the future.

When he had some free time, Cao Xiangnan hurried to the government office and met the gentleman from last time. They were old acquaintances. He stuffed half a tael of silver into his hand and smoothly handled his family's household registration, and also registered the two children's household registration in his family.

This identity document was equivalent to a family's household registration book in this era, and each person had his own household registration to prove their location.
