The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

"Hey, that's right, we must send the kiwis over." Deng Miaoshan nodded repeatedly.

She also reminded Cao Huifang: "There are still my kiwis."

"Bah, you still have the nerve to say that. Except for the two years in Shenzhen, there has been every year when I didn't send you kiwis." Cao Huifang said.

Hearing Cao Huifang say this, Deng Miaoshan rushed over and hugged Cao Huifang: "I was just saying it, why did you take it so seriously?"

"Oh, who was it just now who said that we two were walking and then separated? If someone didn't know, they would think I bullied you." Cao Huifang glanced at her.

You know what, those words just now really made Cao Huifang feel uncomfortable.

The good sisters who used to play together have gone their separate ways since graduating from college. At the beginning, we contacted each other quite frequently, but later on, we contacted each other less and less, and sometimes we hardly contacted each other for a long time.

Occasionally, when I send a message in the group, there will only be a few sporadic replies, or no reply at all.

In particular, two of my classmates got married and became pregnant shortly after graduation. At this time, they focused on their families and had less contact with each other.

"Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang both have children, and Ye Beiwen is married, but I heard from Ye Beiwen that they always quarreled. I haven't contacted Zhang Na since graduation, and I just heard from other classmates that she went to work in a factory. I don't know the details of the situation, and I don't know how she is doing now?" Deng Miaoshan seemed to be talking to herself.

She worked in Yiling City for the first two years after graduation and had more contact with other classmates.

However, after graduation, Cao Huifang went to Shenzhen alone, where she worked hard on her own and had much less contact with her classmates.

During the first half of her time in Shenzhen, once she got busy, she had no time to pay attention to the messages in the group.

I took out my phone and found the WeChat 'sister group'. There were a total of 6 people in this group.

She looked at it for a while, and even Deng Miaoshan looked a little anxious, so she sent a message in the group: "Sisters, I'm getting engaged on the 20th of this month, and getting married on August 8th. The wedding will be held in Yiling City. Does anyone have time to come over and play?"

The message was just sent and no one responded.

Deng Miaoshan also took out her mobile phone and kept staring at the "sisters group". At first she was a little expectant, but gradually she became a little disappointed.

I thought they must be very busy.

But at this moment, Cao Huifang and Deng Miaoshan's phones made a 'ding' sound. The two subconsciously looked at their phones and noticed that there was a new message in the 'sister group'. It was sent by Ye Beiwen with the note: "Okay, I just happen to have nothing to do. Is the engagement also in Yiling City? Then I'll go over and play and join in the fun."

Cao Huifang saw the message from Ye Beiwen and smiled: "Okay, come over, I'll send you the place another day."

Just as I sent the message, my phone vibrated again. Then I saw another message in the group, from Huang Jingmin: "I can't go to the engagement. When you get married, I'll bring my son with me, okay?"

A smiley face icon is then sent out.

After sending the message, Huang Jingmin started to tag Xu Fang again: "Old Xu, come out and speak."

"I gave birth to a son. You promised me that we would become in-laws when I gave birth to a son. Don't worry, I will definitely treat Nuannuan as my own daughter. Don't break your promise."

Feeling that this was not strong enough, she continued to send a message: "Xu Fang, if you dare to regret it, be careful that I will run to your house and beat you up."

Cao Huifang and Deng Miaoshan looked at the sudden change in the tone of the group chat and instantly fell into a state of stagnation.

Especially Cao Huifang, she initially thought that they might not be able to come, but now two of them have agreed to come, and Ye Beiwen even wants to wait until she gets engaged to join in the fun.

But there has been no movement from Xu Fang and Zhang Na, and I don’t know whether they can come?

Cao Huifang, Deng Miaoshan, Ye Beiwen and Huang Jingmin were chatting in the group, and they were getting more and more excited.

Ye Beiwen even started to complain about his marital status.

Through her own complaints, Cao Huifang and the other three also figured out some things.

Ye Beiwen's partner was introduced by his family. They were a good match for each other and both families had some money. However, his partner had developed some bad habits since childhood. He was lazy and liked to eat and play games. He was very selfish and ignored his family.

Of course, this is only Ye Beiwen's one-sided statement. Cao Huifang and others are not sure whether this is the real situation or whether it is an artistic creation.

But seeing Ye Beiwen complaining all the time, Cao Huifang and the others could truly feel from Ye Beiwen's tone that he had no expectations for marriage.

As they were chatting, Xu Fang, who had not been seen before, suddenly appeared and sent a message: "Sisters, I'm divorced."

When seeing Xu Fang's message, the group seemed to be frozen in time and the group suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Deng Miaoshan asked, "Old Xu, is this true? You were the first one among our sisters to get married and have children. Weren't you very sweet at the beginning? Why are you divorced?"

"Don't mention it. It's just that Donkey Dung Egg is just doing well on the surface. He cheated on me and I caught him. How could I let him off?" Xu Fang didn't mind talking about the reason for the divorce.

But it was precisely for this reason that made several people in the group feel sad.

Xu Fang and her boyfriend were high school classmates and had always had a good relationship. No one expected something like this to happen.

Then a few people tried to comfort Xu Fang, but Xu Fang didn't seem to care much, or maybe she had let it go: "Nuan Nuan is with my mother now, I'm out working, Hui Fang, I can't go to your engagement, I'll take Nuan Nuan with me when you get married."

"It's okay, it's okay. If you really can't come over, just take care of your own things first." Cao Huifang said.

At Cao Huifang's house, Deng Miaoshan still found it incredible: "Aren't Xu Fang and her boyfriend in a good relationship?"

"It's hard to say for sure." Cao Huifang sighed. Who can say for sure about matters of the heart?
But cheating is unforgivable.

The five of them were chatting, but Zhang Na remained silent, as if she had blocked the group.

After talking about engagement and marriage, Cao Huifang asked them for their addresses and told them: "The kiwis in my brother's orchard will be ripe in July. I will send the kiwis you planted to you then."

"Really? Oh, it's been so long, I almost forgot about it." Xu Fang sent a smiley face, as if she was looking forward to those kiwis.

She also said: "My daughter likes to eat kiwi fruit very much, so I want it."

After saying this, Xu Fang didn't feel embarrassed and directly sent her contact address in the group.

After seeing this, Cao Huifang took a screenshot of her contact address and saved it.

Ye Beiwen and Huang Jingmin sent their addresses one after another.

But Zhang Na didn't say anything.

Cao Huifang also asked them: "Has any of you contacted Zhang Na? What happened to her?"

"I contacted Nana once, but I was troubled by emotional issues. Later, I became busier at work and didn't go online much," said Xu Fang.

...While Cao Huifang and the others were chatting, Zhang Na was working in a factory called "Namei Garment Factory" after graduation.

Coming from an ordinary family, he has no connections or contacts.

The job Zhang Na found herself is stable and her salary is paid on time.

She has been doing proofing work since she joined the factory, but because of her inferiority complex and personality problems, she has not changed her job in the past few years.

Fortunately, as her personal skills have improved, her salary now is higher than before.

After finishing her morning work, Zhang Na was soaked. She stood up and rubbed her sore waist, then took out a transparent plastic bag from her trouser pocket, which contained a mobile phone.

There was no way. The temperature inside the garment factory was not low, and the place where Zhang Na worked was not cool either. If she didn't wrap the phone in a plastic bag, it would be ruined once it got wet.

During the break, Zhang Na took out her cell phone and noticed that there were 99+ messages in the "sisters group".

When Zhang Na saw this information, she was stunned for a moment and instantly recalled the scenes from her college days.

However, she didn't expect that after graduating from university, her bachelor's degree could not help her find a good job.

"Oh!" Zhang Na did not click on the unread messages. She stared at the last few messages in the group in a daze.

There had been several group chats in the group, and later on there were sporadic chats, but she had always felt inferior to others, always feeling that she had no common topics with the other people and couldn't talk to them.

Moreover, after so many years, Zhang Na still hasn't found a partner.

"Forget it, there's nothing good to see, so let's just leave it at that." Zhang Na thought to herself, and clicked on the three dots in the upper right corner, scrolled to the end, and selected 'Clear chat history'.

When she saw the four red 'Exit Group Chat' buttons at the bottom, she raised her thumb several times to click on them, but ultimately did not do so. Instead, she chose to turn on 'Do Not Disturb Messages', thinking that she would no longer pay attention to this group, but she was reluctant to give up the innocence she had at the beginning.

Zizhuyuan, in Cao Huifang's room.

They had ended the group chat, and Deng Miaoshan was a little puzzled: "I don't know what Nana is busy with. She didn't reply when I tagged her just now, and she didn't reply when I sent her a message individually. Did she change her phone number or get a new WeChat account?"

"I don't know. I called her just now but she didn't answer. I sent her a text message but she didn't reply. Maybe she is really busy. Let's wait and see." Cao Huifang shook her head.

In fact, Ye Beiwen, Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang all said that they would come over when she got married, and Cao Huifang was already very happy.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but these three people, plus Deng Miaoshan, were the classmates who followed her back to Caojiazhuang to play for the first time.

Speaking of which, Zhang Na has never been to Caojiazhuang.

"Fangfang, don't worry about that for now. Let's go out and have something to eat. I'm starving." Deng Miaoshan said.

When Cao Huifang heard Deng Miaoshan say she was hungry, she also felt hungry, so she quickly changed her clothes and pulled Deng Miaoshan out to find something to eat.

……

On the other hand, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin have been selling goods through live broadcasts.

With such a good opportunity and sales indeed increasing, Cao Shujie must seize it.

There is a sentence that Cao Shujie has never said in the live broadcast room, but it is a fact.

Only when Xuemeng Food Factory's products are sold continuously can they purchase large quantities of fruits from the market for further processing.

But if the fruits cannot be sold in the market, it will be difficult for Xuemeng Food Factory to continue purchasing fruits in large quantities like it does now. By that time, Xuemeng Food Factory will no longer purchase so many fruit raw materials, thus forming a vicious circle.

Cao Shujie doesn't think that Xuemeng Food Factory is so capable that the market cannot do without him, but that over the years, Xuemeng Food Factory has always insisted on the principle of "keep improving" in the procurement of raw materials.

However, by the same token, Xuemeng Food Factory has never exploited fruit farmers in terms of purchasing prices over the years, but has always purchased at market prices.

His actions have indeed benefited the fruit farmers.

Unlike other fruit farmers who sell to distributors, the distributors will try to lower the price of the fruit.

There is no such thing as price suppression on his side.

Since Cheng Xiaolin and her husband started live streaming to sell goods, the affairs of the travel company have been temporarily handed over to other people.

She really likes the feeling of working together as a couple.

At noon, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin paused the live broadcast and waited for Wang Yueqiang to pick up Mengmeng. Then the three of them went to the restaurant to eat.

While eating, Cheng Xiaolin and Cao Shujie discussed whether to choose a day to hold a lottery event.

"How do I draw the lottery?" Cao Shujie didn't understand.

He said: "Is it the same as other live broadcast rooms, taking random screenshots?"

Cheng Xiaolin said to him, "Screenshots are boring. We can get a batch of mobile phones and put them in the live broadcast room. If anyone goes to our online store to place an order, they can get a mobile phone by specifying the last few digits of the order number. What do you think?"

Every order placed on Tmall or JD.com will automatically generate an order number. This number string is unique, but as the number of orders increases, the last few digits will usually be the same.

This is the most fair lottery method that Cheng Xiaolin can think of for all netizens who buy their products.

"I think the repetition rate of the last three digits will be higher. How about we choose this one?"

After listening to his wife's suggestion, Cao Shujie thought it was a good one. He said, "I think it's OK."

It doesn’t matter if you give out more mobile phones. A higher winning rate can stimulate consumption.

"Okay, if you think it's okay, then let's discuss it again and perfect the details. We can't let netizens think there's some shady operation going on." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie nodded and said to his wife, "How about this, we will reveal the news to everyone during the live broadcast this afternoon so that everyone can be prepared."

"Why do I feel like this will stimulate consumption?" Cheng Xiaolin was a little unsure.

In fact, Cao Shujie also thinks that this will stimulate a wave of consumption. He even thinks that some netizens may split the original order into two orders in order to increase their winning rate.

But no matter what, Cao Shujie doesn't care.

For big customers like them who have strategic cooperation with logistics companies, splitting orders will not increase costs much, but if netizens think that the chances of winning the prize are high, they will do whatever they want. (End of this chapter)
