The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

"I'm really too lazy to talk to you." Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes at him.

"Sleep!" she said.

Cao Shujie really wanted to sleep, as he drank quite a bit of white wine tonight.

Unknowingly, Cao Shujie fell asleep.

A night passed, and when Cao Shujie got up the next morning, he came downstairs and saw his mother cooking in the kitchen. Tong Jiayi also got up and was chatting with his mother.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming, Tong Jiayi subconsciously called him boss.

But just after he finished shouting, Wang Yuelan, who was cooking, said, "Xiao Tong, why are you calling him boss? This is at home, not at the company. Just call him brother."

"..."

Tong Jiayi was a little uncomfortable, so Wang Yuelan said, "Listen to me. If your brother dares to cause trouble for you, I will take care of him."

Cao Shujie: "..."

He was also speechless, thinking to himself, I just came down from upstairs and didn't say a word, what did I do to offend anyone that I had to deal with me as soon as we met.

I can't live this day.

"Mom, I'm going out to walk the dogs. I'll be back soon. You guys can eat first." After saying this, Cao Shujie said hello to Tong Jiayi and went out with his four dogs.

Daha and Erha have been with me for exactly 7 years, which is equivalent to about 40 years old for humans. According to the normal growth cycle, in another year they will basically be like humans entering old age.

Dahei and Xiaohei are almost 7 years old, but they look stronger than Daha and the others.

Looking at the four brothers, Cao Shujie felt a little sad. He always felt that time passed too quickly and everything seemed to be just like when he had just returned from the capital.

When they arrived at the dam, Cao Shujie untied the dog leashes for the four brothers and let them run on their own.

Watching them stretching their strong bodies and flexing their muscles as they ran in the sun, Cao Shujie felt happy for them.

As for what the future will be like, Cao Shujie doesn't think about it. As long as he is able, he will try his best to make them eat better, provide them with timely nutrition, and let the four brothers live longer.

Over time, Cao Shujie gradually got used to their barking and their howling when he came home or went out.

Not long after, Dahei came back and circled around Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie waved at it, and Dahei rubbed against Cao Shujie's body and sat down. The man and the dog leaned against each other, looking particularly harmonious under the rising sun.

"Dahei, are you getting old too?" Cao Shujie asked it.

Dahei: “Woof!”

Cao Shujie seemed to understand what it said, and continued: "Dahei, do you regret following me for these years?"

"Wow, wang wang."

"You don't regret it, right? Well done. I knew you had good vision." Cao Shujie chatted with it.

After a while, Xiao Hei, Daha and Erha also ran back.

They sat down around Cao Shujie, protecting him in the middle.

At this time, Cao Shujie was immersed in chatting with the four dogs. Time passed quickly without him noticing and he even forgot to go home for dinner.

It was Tong Jiayi who came up and called him.

"Boss." When he saw Cao Shujie, Tong Jiayi subconsciously called him boss.

But just as he finished shouting, Cao Shujie interrupted him: "Why are you calling me boss? Didn't my mom just say that when I'm not in the company, I can just call you brother."

Tong Jiayi was a little excited when he heard Cao Shujie say this. This was recognition.

Cao Shujie pointed to the side and said to Tong Jiayi: "Sit down, let's chat for a while."

"Hey!" Tong Jiayi quickly sat down after hearing what Cao Shujie said.

Tong Jiayi was still thinking about what to say. He was immersed in the joy of being recognized by Cao Shujie, but he heard Cao Shujie ask him: "Jiayi, have you thought about getting married?"

"Brother, I've made up my mind. Don't worry, I will treat Fangfang well." Tong Jiayi habitually called him boss, but he stopped abruptly as soon as he opened his mouth. He said, "I will definitely treat her well."

Cao Shujie turned his head and looked at him for more than ten seconds, which made Tong Jiayi's scalp numb and the atmosphere became particularly tense.

At this time, Cao Shujie inevitably thought of his sister's unhappy marriage in her previous life, but he ultimately couldn't help much at that time and always felt very sorry.

After a while, even Tong Jiayi felt that the atmosphere was too depressing. Just when he was about to say something to break the dull atmosphere, Cao Shujie asked him, "You will be nice to Fangfang, right?"

"Yes!" Tong Jiayi said firmly.

Cao Shujie stroked Dahei's hair with one hand and whispered, "Jiayi, I only have this one sister. When we were young, we also fought, but... I was the only one who could beat her."

"After you get married, you are not allowed to hit her, understand?" Cao Shujie seemed a little overbearing.

Tong Jiayi nodded repeatedly, promising that he would never do anything.

Cao Shujie didn't look at him at this moment. His eyes were always looking eastward, where was the rolling Yellow River.

From the dam, you can see the Yellow River water boiling like yellow mud soup. He said: "I am not trying to scare you. You know that when I get ruthless, even I am afraid of myself. If I hear any bad news, I really don't guarantee what I will do."

Tong Jiayi raised his hand and wiped his smooth forehead. He thought to himself, after all this talk, you are still giving me an ultimatum.

But he also understood what Cao Shujie said, and he could feel that Cao Shujie was not joking at all at this moment.

But Tong Jiayi did not blame him for his idea.

He thinks this is normal.

Cao Shujie's cell phone rang. It was his mother calling. After Cao Shujie answered the call, he heard his mother's voice coming from the phone: "Shujie, Jiayi has come to look for you, why haven't you two come back yet?"

"Mom, let's chat for a while on the dam and then we'll go home," Cao Shujie said to her.

Wang Yuelan urged them again: "Hurry back to eat. If there is anything, we can talk after dinner."

"Okay!" Cao Shujie agreed.

Putting away his phone, Cao Shujie tied the four dogs with leashes, and then said to Tong Jiayi, "Let's go back and eat first."

They both stood up and walked home.

Soon they arrived at the bottom of the dam, and Cao Shujie suddenly said, "Jiayi, ask your parents when they have time to come to Caojiazhuang to play."

"Also, do you think there is anything missing for your wedding? If so, tell me and I will prepare it for you," said Cao Shujie.

"No shortage, we have everything." Tong Jiayi said.

"Since you call me brother, don't be too polite to me. We are getting married, and it's just this once. Even if I wronged you, you can't wrong my sister." Cao Shujie said.

He had no sense of the code of conduct and his words were even ridiculous, but Tong Jiayi could understand what he meant.

Tong Jiayi nodded, but he didn't say anything else.

……

After the Lantern Festival, everything returned to normal.

Cao Shujie goes to the company more often than before.

After entering March, the issues regarding import and export trade became increasingly tense. Various bad news frequently came from the other side of the ocean. Trump was a real jerk. At this time, ordinary people smelled the smell of gunpowder.

Many factories began to suffer, and the ones who suffered the most were the ordinary workers who went to work.

From the news from various places, we can see that the situation is not very good, but it is barely acceptable.

However, the situation inside the Xuemeng Food Factory is much better, and there is no discordant situation happening now.

However, as people's income in other regions decreases or their income becomes unstable, their willingness to buy snacks also decreases, which can be clearly seen from the shipment volume.

Cao Shuju compared the shipment volume from the time she started working after the Spring Festival to March with that before the Spring Festival, and also compared it with the shipment data of the same period in previous years, and finally compiled a report to Cao Shujie. The data comparison in the report was very detailed, and it was obvious from the data that the shipment volume before and after the Spring Festival this year had dropped a lot year-on-year. After reading it, Cao Shujie did not say anything else, but asked Cao Shuju to continue tracking the shipment data.

At the same time, Cao Shujie called Guan Boyong over and asked him to pay attention to market trends.

Guan Boyong told Cao Shujie about the planned orders at the beginning of the year. In his words, the business volume has indeed shown signs of decreasing in recent days, but it is still acceptable.

In addition, the Spring Festival had just passed, and we ate a lot of delicious food during the period. We visited relatives and friends during the period, and all the gifts were given out. It is normal for people not to buy snacks at this time.

Cao Shujie nodded and asked him to continue paying attention to this information.

……

However, except for the managers of various departments in Xuemeng Food Factory, ordinary employees were not aware of the changes in the market.

On the warehouse shipping side, several employees felt it, but they thought that there were not many shipments around the Spring Festival in previous years, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Production volume has not decreased, and market purchasing continues to purchase raw materials in large quantities.

After returning from the factory, Cao Shujie seemed fine and he did not tell his family about the abnormalities in the market.

Instead, the people of Caojiazhuang have started to prepare, thinking that the Mengmeng Orchard and Children's Theme Park will open in more than 10 days.

Many people who planned to set up stalls or those who set up stalls at the foot of the mountain started to purchase goods.

Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and others came to Cao Shujie specifically to discuss this matter with him.

Cao Shujie didn't say much and told them that the park would open on March 3th, just like in previous years.

After getting a definite answer, Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and others happily prepared to go for a drink, and asked Cao Shujie if he had time to go for a drink together.

"I'm busy. My sister is getting engaged soon. You guys go first." Cao Shujie told them.

When the two heard this, they had no intention of drinking, but instead asked when the wedding would be held.

Cao Huifang has almost no influence in Caojiazhuang, but her brother Cao Shujie is a man of great influence here.

As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. They are also thinking about coming over to give gifts when the time comes.

Cao Shujie knew what they were thinking, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's make a deal first. When my sister gets married, you can come over for a drink. If anyone gives money as a gift, don't blame me for kicking him out."

"Secretary Cao, these are the kindness of the villagers. I can't do anything about it," said Cao Jianlong.

"Okay then, I won't hold it at home, and I won't invite you guys then." Cao Shujie thought to himself that he couldn't deal with them.

He really had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, and Cao Shujie didn't lack the money. He just wanted to get together and have fun.

Cao Jianlong and the others also knew what Cao Shujie was thinking, and finally said to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, we won't give you the money. As an elder, can I buy something for Fangfang?"

"Let me make it clear first, you can’t buy anything too expensive," said Cao Shujie.

"I will reimburse you for anything that costs more than 1000 yuan," said Cao Shujie.

If this threshold is not set, Cao Shujie dare not imagine what tricks they will play.

Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and others didn't say anything more.

A gift of 1000 yuan is not a small amount for most people, but it is not much for Cao Jianlong and his friends. In addition, Cao Shujie has helped them to become wealthy over the years. The agricultural planting cooperative and the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative give dividends to every household in the village every year, and even the smallest one receives more than yuan in dividends. If the loophole is not blocked at this time, Cao Shujie can't imagine how enthusiastic those ordinary people will be!

"Uncle Long, Uncle Qiang, please come to our house and sit for a while." Cao Shujie invited them.

The two followed Cao Shujie and walked home.

……

On the other hand, Tong Jiayi called his parents and asked them to come over to meet Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo, the old couple. Both parents sat down to chat and discuss a date for the engagement.

On the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, he and Cao Shujie unexpectedly had a very pleasant conversation. When Cao Shujie asked him to call him "brother", Tong Jiayi felt for the first time that Cao Shujie recognized him in his marriage to Cao Huifang. He was not so restrained when he called Cao Shujie "brother".

At this time, Tong Jiayi must want to strike while the iron is hot and quickly settle his marriage with Cao Huifang. It would even be better if they could get married this year.

After all, he is 31 years old this year, and Cao Huifang is 28 years old, so they are not young.

Moreover, this was the first time in all these years that Tong Jiayi fell in love, and also the first time he had a strong urge to get married.

Although his wealth is not as good as Cao Shujie's, he can also make money. From these aspects, Tong Jiayi doesn't think he is much worse than anyone else.

He also has enough confidence to live a good married life.

After his parents asked someone to pick a date, Tong Jiayi conveyed the chosen date to Cao Huifang, and also went to Cao Shujie's office in person to tell him about it in person.

Cao Shujie didn't care much about this. He just told Tong Jiayi that it was settled.

The twenty-third day of the first lunar month, March 2018, 3, was the date Tong Jiayi told Cao Shujie, and it was also the day Tong Jiayi's parents went to see him.

Cao Shujie calculated that there were only 5 days left until that day, which made him a little nervous. However, meeting each other did not mean getting engaged directly, so he felt that there was still enough time to prepare.

Cao Shujie thought about the place to eat and decided to go to the Fuxing Hotel in the town. In addition to his family, his uncle Cao Jianlin was also there.

In addition, considering that the other party would definitely not only be the parents coming, but perhaps also relatives from the family, Cao Shujie told Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao and others to come over and help with the drinking.

As for his eldest and second brothers who were far away in Anyi City, Cao Shujie didn't tell them for the time being. He thought it wouldn't be too late to tell them when his sister got married.

In the past few days, Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo, the old couple, have been busy packing up and preparing to meet their in-laws.

Cao Huifang hasn't been making videos these days and has just returned from Yiling City.

At this point, her love and marriage with Tong Jiayi seemed like a natural outcome, without too much romance. The two people had similar values ​​and were attracted to each other, so the deal was done.

A few days passed in a flash, and on the morning of March 3, Cao Shujie drove to his uncle's place and picked him up.

Father Cao Jianguo had already told his eldest brother in advance about the meeting with Tong Jiayi's parents today.

In the car, Cao Jianlin also asked his nephew if the man's parents had come.
"Jiayi just told me that his parents are on the way and will be here in about an hour." Cao Shujie said to his uncle.

The other party came from Hejian and was able to arrive before 9 o'clock, which also shows that he was really attentive and set off at around 4 o'clock in the morning.

In response, Cao Shujie didn't say anything else. It was mutual for everyone, so there was no point in being too strict.

After Cao Shujie brought his uncle over, Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao also came over.

Cao Shujie’s home is decorated particularly festively.

At this moment, Cao Huifang felt a little embarrassed to see people.

Cheng Xiaolin was busy running around, and she also chatted with her sister-in-law for a while, telling her that Tong Jiayi and his family would be here soon.

It seems that every girl hopes to fall in love and get married. They all want to find someone who shares the same values ​​as them. Cao Huifang feels that she is lucky.

This luck was not simply because she met Tong Jiayi, but more because her elder brother created various conditions for her and her sister-in-law taught her many skills to make a living.

If it weren't for the help of her elder brother and sister-in-law, Cao Huifang felt that she might still be the same ordinary person as before, and there would be no changes in her values, personal values, vision, etc. She might just find a job in a company after graduation, and would not boldly drive to Shenzhen alone like she did at that time.

Without the confidence given by her brother, how could she have the courage?

Based on her previous ideas and values, even if she met Tong Jiayi, she felt that there would be no resonance between the two and they would not be able to talk to each other.

Even later, if she had not learned video editing from her sister-in-law and learned how to make short videos that could attract more people and realize traffic monetization through the Internet, and if she had not earned tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, it would be hard for her to imagine that she would have the same ideas as a person with an annual salary of one million in terms of money, consumption concepts, and vision.

After all, it was all thanks to my elder brother and sister-in-law.

At this time, Cao Huifang was very grateful to her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Just as she was thinking about saying thank you to her sister-in-law, a whistle suddenly sounded outside the door.

As if she realized what was going on, Cheng Xiaolin said to her, "I think Jiayi and the others are coming. I'll go out to greet them first. You sit here for a while."

Cao Huifang responded, pricked up her ears, and listened to the noise coming from outside. She was also somewhat expectant. (End of this chapter)
