Otherworldly Days

Chapter 239 Careful Care

Cao Xiangnan carefully withdrew his hand when he heard the sound outside, knowing that it was almost noon, and the children and Aning also came back from the academy, and the person in his arms frowned. wake up.

Carefully got up, tucked in the quilt for the person who was still sleeping, went out lightly, and closed the door.

As soon as he entered the door and saw no one, Aning knew that Qi Wanfeng would be sleeping in the room. He was also a person who had been pregnant and had a child before, so he naturally knew that his body would be very uncomfortable in the next two or three months. Only those who have suffered this sin know.

What's more, Qi Wanfeng's stomach is about to give birth, maybe it's because he didn't sleep well at night, and his spirit is not very good recently.Aning knew that he took the children out, the house was quieter, and prayed that Wanfeng could sleep for a while, so that a group of children at home would not disturb him. "Shh, keep your voice down." Seeing the closed door, Aning knew The man was in the water and made a silent gesture.

A group of little ones have been taught that Eminem/Meme and brother should not disturb them when they are sleeping.Seeing the closed door, they all covered their mouths and widened their eyes after realizing it, with an expression of "I understand, I won't make a sound".

Just when Cao Xiangnan came out of the house, he saw a group of children who came back covering their mouths and did not dare to make a sound, so he couldn't help laughing, looked at Aning, and said, "I'm back."

"Everyone played in the academy for a while." That's why I didn't come back until now, otherwise I would have come back long ago. I didn't say the latter words, and everyone who listened would understand.

"Father..."

"Uncle Xiang Nan."

"I'm going to heat up my lunch, and I'm going to have lunch too." Cao Xiangnan stretched out his hand to grab the little ones who rushed over, knowing that the sleeping people in the room would wake up soon, and they would have to eat now It's lunch time, heat up the lunch, and those who just wake up should have lunch too.

"I'll go." Anin said.

"No, I'll just go, you can sit here for a while." Cao Xiangnan knew that it would be very tiring for Aning to take a few children out, so he asked Aning to rest here, and he went to the back door, followed by a few The little one chatted with him about what he had learned in the academy.

Open the back door and come out is the small kitchen.

It hasn't snowed outside for a while, and they are still cooking in the small kitchen. The kitchen is spacious and it is more convenient to cook.Seeing that it was going to snow that day, I moved to the house to cook after it snowed, and the stove inside was also complete.

Seeing that the younger ones were all walking together, Ah Ning sat down on the sofa, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and let out the troubled people and things in his mind. Now that he thinks about it, those people and those Things were getting farther and farther away from him and the child, as if they had become things of the previous life.The days here are quiet and peaceful, if you can stay in this small place for the rest of your life, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

The door opened at this moment, and upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Aning's eyes opened, and the light in those eyes faded away, as if it had never appeared before.

Turning around and seeing Qi Wanfeng coming out from the door, Aning showed a slight smile on his face, stood up from his seat, walked towards the person who came out, and naturally reached out to help Qi Wanfeng out, and asked, "Sleep Wake up, did you sleep well?"

Seeing Ah Ning's careful look, Qi Wanfeng felt that the members of the family treated him like paper, so there was no need to be so careful.When I got to the back, I had to support my lower back with my hands when walking, and when I heard Aning's words, I replied, "I slept well."

This sleep was very good, he always felt a hand touching him in a daze, he knew who was touching him, there was a familiar smell in his nostrils, the bed was warm, he had slept well After a long sleep, I wake up feeling much better.

"Are all the little ones back?" Qi Wanfeng asked without seeing any of the little ones.

"Well, we're all back. I followed Xiangnan to the kitchen, and Xiangnan went to the kitchen to heat the meal." Aning helped the man to the bench in the living room and walked over to the bench in the living room. He didn't help him out. It's going to be cold outside without a coat.

He helped him to sit on the bench, and put a soft pillow on Qi Wanfeng's back to cushion him, so that he would be more comfortable.

"You guys, there's no need to be so careful." Among you, it's not only about Aning, but also his husband, Lang, and the people around him.Qi Wanfeng pulled Aning and said, "Sit down too, are the little ones obedient when they go to the academy?"

He is not in the mood to take care of a few children now, thanks to Aning who is here to help take care of a few children.Fu Lang stayed with him all day, but he couldn't do anything, Qi Wanfeng felt a little sorry.

"You need to be careful, you are unusual now." Aning sat down beside him, and said, "The children are very obedient, and they sat in there with other friends and listened obediently to the teacher's lecture."

Although he went with him, he didn't go to listen to his teacher's lectures like other people, but he followed to take care of a few younger ones. Yes, he also invited a gentleman to come back and give him lectures. He was a person who had read a few books when he was a child.When he came here, he saw that such a place had set up an academy, and all the boys and brothers could go to study together, his eyes were full of envy.

When I was a child, what I envied the most was that my elder brother and younger brother could go to school to study, but he was an older brother, but he couldn't go.Later, I was taught by a gentleman, and I learned a few characters. When I was older, I could read and practice calligraphy, and I barely passed in terms of knowledge.The only thing that interests him is arithmetic. He will listen to it twice and find that these numbers are much simpler and more interesting to learn.

The iron pot hanging in the fireplace is heating water. Now that the fireplace is turned on, the small stove is no longer used for hot water, and it is directly hung inside to heat it.Aning took out the iron pot, wrapped it in a cloth towel and poured some hot water out, made a cup of warm water for Qi Wanfeng, and said, "Drink a glass of water."

"Thank you." Qi Wanfeng said after receiving the water.

"You've been so polite all day long, and you have to thank me for giving you a glass of water." Aning gave Qi Wanfeng a look and smiled helplessly.

The two have known each other for a long time, but they get along like old friends who have known each other for more than 20 or [-] years, incomparably natural and harmonious.When Qi Wanfeng heard what Aning blamed him, he immediately said, "Okay, I won't say anything in the future."

"You have said this many times, but you have to be so polite to me every time, you see that I am not polite to you, am I?" Ah Ning was indomitable, her beautiful eyes stared at people, full of eyes. Wronged.

"...I can't say enough about you." Qi Wanfeng hastily surrendered.

Just at this moment, the people in the kitchen also heated up the porridge water in the pot. There were steamed buns in the steamer, a few boiled fish in clear water, and a plate of fried vegetables to serve the porridge.Cao Xiangnan went to the town to buy fish and meat in the morning. There is no vegetable for sale in the town at this moment, and the vegetables are grown in his big shed.

At the beginning of the month, the vegetables grown at home have already been produced, and a batch of vegetables have been delivered to Yipinzhai, as well as the mushrooms grown in the back room.Fortunately, he also set up a piece of land in Cao Gang's place to grow greenhouse vegetables and mushrooms. After eating at his place, he can go to Cao Gang's place to pull out his family's. Otherwise, Cao Xiangnan would still be very unimaginable. It's all pickled vegetables and bacon jerky, it's almost impossible to live this day.

All the chickens and ducks in the village were collected, and a batch was sent to shopkeeper Liu, and the rest were shipped to Nanyang.Knowing that the baby in Wanfeng's stomach is going to be born later, there is nothing to eat in this winter, Cao Xiangnan also kept dozens of hens at home, and the dozen or so chickens he raised at home are also quite a lot. When the time comes, it will be enough to kill Wan Feng to make up for him, and he can still keep a few hens to lay eggs.

"Be careful, keep it safe!" Cao Xiangnan served the porridge, handed the small things to a few children, led the children into the dining room from the outside, and put the food on the table one by one.

"Mum, Eminem eating." Little ears perked up, hearing Eminem's voice, An An handed the steamed buns in his hand to Father, ran forward, and rushed over when he saw Eminem.

Qi Wanfeng reached out to catch the rushing child, reached out and tapped his little nose, and asked, "Why don't you call Ah Ning to eat?"

"Ah Ning also eats." An An bared her baby teeth, her smiling eyes were crooked, and her eyes looked very much like his mother.Now the land is well-raised, her face is round, her skin is fair and clean, and she is a good-looking little brother.

"Okay." Ah Ning loves the little brother the most, but it's a pity that he gave birth to a boy.

But there are boys as good as boys, and younger brothers are as good as younger brothers, and I like the children born by myself.It's just that he is greedy for other people's little brother, but it's a pity that he will only have a child like Xuanxuan in his life.

Xuanxuan, who followed behind, stood beside his mother. Aning reached out and touched the child's hand. Seeing that the child came back, he was still wearing a thick padded jacket. It was hot in the room. He asked, "Would you like to wear this clothes?" Did you take it off?"

"Yes." Xuanxuan nodded and asked his mother to undress him.

Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched the child lying on his knees, took off the small scarf around the child's neck, loosened the collar a little, but did not undress the child.

"The rice is hot, let's eat." Cao Xiangnan came over, followed by two young ones.Seeing Wanfeng sitting here, he walked over naturally, stretched out his hand, and pulled him up from his seat.

With the help of Fu Lang's hand, Qi Wanfeng stood up and called out to Ah Ning, "Go eat."

"Okay." Aning replied.

There was hot food on the table, and the children sat on it. Cao Xiangnan asked Qi Wanfeng to sit down, and he spooned porridge for everyone.What I eat in my daily life is the simplest food. Two bowls of porridge and one steamed bun can fill my stomach.

In this season, the most rare thing is to eat vegetables on the ground at home. There is still a small piece of vegetables left in the shed. If you pick a small handful every day, you can still eat it for a while.The seeds planted later have already sprouted, and they will grow up in a few months.

"Eat some fish, and you will grow taller if you eat fish." Cao Xiangnan put the fish in An'an's bowl, and the other children did not leave behind. He went to the town's wharf to buy the fish early in the morning, but it was actually for Wanfeng Bought it with a few kids.

The other children ate fish, but his little An'an didn't like fish.

Xuanxuan raised his head and said, "It's delicious."

Qi Wanfeng brought the porridge with the fish in his arms, seeing the child with a bitter face, still eating the fish he didn't like, a smile flashed in his eyes.It would be right to say that his husband loves the children the most, but sometimes there are many rules that should be taught.

"Don't you want to eat?" Cao Xiangnan asked after seeing that Qi Wanfeng drank a bowl of porridge and put down the chopsticks after eating a fish on the plate.

"Well, I'm full." Qi Wanfeng said.

He doesn't eat as much now as he did a few days ago, and he feels uncomfortable after eating a little, and he can't eat much.However, he will be hungry again after a short time. The family husband prepared a lot of snacks for him, and he can eat whenever he is hungry.

"Okay, I'll eat later, and I'll bake steamed buns for you later." There are still a few steamed buns left, and when people get hungry in the afternoon, Cao Xiangnan will warm up the steamed buns on the small stove and eat them.

"Father, I want it too."

"Uncle Xiang Nan, I want it too."

"Okay, all right."

Ah Ning saw that Cao Xiangnan was doting on the younger ones, he was good to his own children, the two adopted children and his family's Xuanxuan, everyone had what they had, and no one was left behind.No wonder his family Xuanxuan said that apart from liking him as Ah Mu, the second thing he likes is Uncle Xiang Nan.

After lunch, the children played backgammon in the living room for a while, and were about to take a nap.After getting used to taking a nap, Ah Ning will also be sleepy now, so she went back to sleep.Cao Xiangnan also returned to the house with Qi Wanfeng.

The house will be quiet for a while at this time...
