The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Cao Shujie subconsciously turned his head and looked over, only to see some strawberries next to the deer orchard.

However, unlike other varieties of red strawberries, this one is milky white and looks very different from popular fruits.

But this thing is not a new variety. Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi just planted different varieties of strawberries here in order to prove that the nutrient solution has a promoting effect on different varieties of fruits.

Even Cao Shujie didn't notice it. Who would have thought that his daughter Nuannuan's eyes were so sharp.

"Go pick them." said Cao Shujie.

He didn't think that because his daughter was young, he had to take care of everything.

Cao Shujie has rich experience in educating children. He feels that now is the time to let go and let his daughter take the initiative to try.

Otherwise, children will become dependent on adults over time, and habitually ask adults for answers to everything without having their own opinions.

At first, this habit didn't seem to be harmful. Instead, it made some adults complacent, thinking it was fun for their children to go to their children for help with anything.

But after a long time, I realized that the child had already been harmed.

It makes them lose their subjective initiative.

When Nuannuan heard that her father agreed to let her pick the fruits, the smile on her little face was like a blooming flower. She trotted over, squatted down, and started picking the fruits.

The key is that after picking them, you know to take them to the side, wash them with water, and then put them in your mouth to eat.

"So sweet." Nuannuan put it in her mouth and chewed it.

After eating, she ran over and picked another one. She was about to wash the strawberry and eat it, but then she thought, isn’t it a bit of a loss to only pick one this time?

Thinking of this, Nuannuan picked one with her other hand.

Seeing that her shirt had pockets, she stuffed the two picked strawberries into her pockets. Then she picked another one each and washed them, thinking that she could finally eat them to her heart's content this time.

Cao Shujie was chatting with Cao Shuchao nearby and saw what his daughter did. He was quite happy.

I feel that this is how a child grows. If he had helped pick strawberries for Nuannuan, Nuannuan would only learn to eat them and would not consider anything else.

"Brother Chao, you are old now, so don't be so tired. Make sure to get enough rest." Cao Shujie reminded him.

Cao Shuchao also agrees with this point. Especially as he gets older, he feels that his energy is not as good as before.

In the past, I was not afraid of working overtime or staying up late at night.

But he can't work the night shift now. He can't get enough rest for two or three days if he stays up all night to work in the orchard on the mountain.

Fortunately, there is no particularly heavy work to be done in the orchard on the mountain.

Cao Shujie was still thinking about chatting with Cao Shuchao for a while when the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.

Cao Shuchao also asked if it was his aunt who asked him to go downstairs to eat.

Cao Shujie took it out and saw that it was a call from his wife Cheng Xiaolin.

"Shujie, where have you and Nuannuan been? Come back soon for dinner." Cheng Xiaolin shouted on the phone.

Cao Shujie quickly responded: "I'll be back soon."

"Hurry up, the whole family is waiting for you two, don't waste any more time." Cheng Xiaolin said.

When the father and daughter returned home, the food was already on the table.

When Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo saw their granddaughter come back, they were so happy that they even fought to hold her.

Wang Yuelan wanted to feed her granddaughter, but Nuannuan disagreed and pouted, saying, "I can eat by myself. I don't want to be fed. I'm already grown up."

Cao Shujie also said: "Nuannuan has grown up. She should eat by herself in the future. No one can feed her."

When Wang Yuelan heard her son say this, she tactfully withdrew her hand and did not mention feeding her granddaughter again.

When they returned upstairs in the evening, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were still discussing where Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yiru, the brother and sister, would go to work in the future.

Since their daughter left, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin have discussed this matter three times. This matter is very important to them.

It is also related to the future direction of Xuemeng Food Factory.

Should we find a professional manager for Xuemeng Food Factory, or let his son or daughter take the responsibility directly?

But it was clear that their son had given up so far.

Now I just don’t understand what my daughter Cao Xuemeng is thinking.

At the end of the conversation, the couple still couldn't come to a clear conclusion, and finally they reluctantly put the matter aside for the time being, thinking that if they waited another two years, maybe the siblings would be mature enough, and by then they would know how to come back and take responsibility.

As for letting Nuannuan take over, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin both understood that it was just a statement made in anger.

The couple are now 50 years old, and Nuannuan is just over two years old. In another 20 years, when Nuannuan graduates from university, Cao Shujie and his wife will be 70 years old.

By that time, they will be old, and Nuannuan will have just reached adulthood and has never experienced anything. Can she really carry the banner of Xuemeng Food Factory?

Therefore, it is totally unrealistic to really let Nuannuan do these things.

"Let's wait and see. I think Mengmeng will figure it out sooner or later." Cheng Xiaolin was also worried.

No one expected that no one would be willing to take over, but those outside who wanted to take over were not happy about it.

Cao Shujie even thought to himself that if no one was willing to do this job in the end, he might as well disband the Xuemeng Food Factory.

But I can only think about it in my mind, it is impossible to really do it.

Xuemeng Food Factory is now too large in scale, involving too many aspects, and too many people related to Xuemeng Food Factory.

It is impossible for Cao Shujie to just close the Xuemeng Food Factory as he had thought before.

"Go to bed early and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Cao Shujie said to his wife.

As he gets older, Cao Shujie now needs to rest for a few days before he can feel refreshed.

Sometimes he just gave up even though it seemed useless.

Cheng Xiaolin also noticed her husband's embarrassing look and deliberately provoked him.

It looked like he was trying to provoke anger, but it was a pity that Cao Shujie couldn't do anything.
Cao Shujie was too lazy to pay attention to his wife, so he turned his body away and fell asleep.

……

In the capital, the Three Musketeers Design Studio.

Ever since Cao Yirui came to work with his sister Cao Xuemeng, the people in the Three Musketeers Design Studio realized that Cao Yirui was one of the other two swordsmen that had been keeping them guessing.

For others, as long as Cao Yirui shows up instead of playing mysterious as before, they think it’s not a big deal.

But these people are more curious about who the third swordsman is?

But their third boss seems to be even more mysterious, and there is still no clue about him.

This is also what makes them feel strange.

In Cao Xuemeng's office, Cao Yirui came over to report the situation to his sister.

After listening to his brother, Cao Xuemeng was not convinced and said to his brother: "Ruirui, I don't have much time left. You must master the work of the Three Musketeers Design Studio as soon as possible. The future development of the design studio depends on you."

"Sister, are you really going back to work at Xuemeng Food Factory next year?" Cao Yirui couldn't understand.

He felt that his sister had the courage to stay in the capital and even start her own business. Logically speaking, his sister should not be the kind of person who does not know right from wrong.

But this time Cao Xuemeng said, "Ruirui, our father is old. Don't you see that he has white hair?" This time Cao Yirui didn't say anything about dyeing his hair gray.

He had noticed this a long time ago, but Cao Yirui was powerless to do anything. He did not expect that his sister had already decided to go home and take responsibility.

This made Cao Yirui always feel uncomfortable, as if the responsibility that originally belonged to him was eventually taken over by his sister because he avoided it.

Whenever he thought of this incident, Cao Yirui felt ashamed.

But Cao Xuemeng didn't care.

For the rest of the time, Cao Yirui stayed at the Three Musketeers Design Studio with his sister to familiarize himself with the various tasks of the studio.

Time seems most useless at this time.

In the busyness, summer passed, autumn came, and before we knew it, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It was only when Lei Xinyi came over and called her to have dinner at home that Cao Xuemeng remembered that today was Mid-Autumn Festival.

"No wonder my dad asked me to buy some mooncakes a few days ago." Cao Xuemeng was thinking about the phone call she made home a few days ago.

Lei Xinyi didn't know what Cao Xuemeng was thinking, and called her again: "Sister Mengmeng, you and Yirui should leave quickly. When I came over, my mother was still cooking. She made a lot of delicious food."

Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui, brother and sister, have no other relatives here. The closest people to them are Lei Jun's family.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, they did not return to Caojiazhuang, but instead stayed and thought about doing something.

When Lei Xinyi called them to have dinner together, the brother and sister realized that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.

They didn't bother to be polite with Lei Xinyi and went to the mall to buy some gifts. The brother and sister took the gifts and went to Lei Xinyi's home together.

When I came over, Lei Jun was sitting on a chair outside looking at his phone.

Cao Xuemeng thought Lei Jun was reading some news, but when she got closer, she found that Lei Jun was reading an online novel on his mobile phone.

It’s just that Cao Xuemeng doesn’t usually read novels, so she doesn’t know much about this area.

I also specifically asked Lei Jun what books he read, and he said, "I read some cool novels."

Cao Yirui was surprised to hear this answer and couldn't help but look at Lei Jun carefully, as if he could hardly believe that he heard this word from his mouth.

Cao Yirui occasionally reads online novels to kill time. I never thought that Lei Jun also has this hobby.

"What book is Uncle Lei reading?" Cao Yiru leaned over and asked.

But before Lei Jun could say anything, he heard Zhang Tong's voice from inside: "Come in and eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

"Coming, coming." Lei Jun heard his wife calling them to eat, and was the first one to stand up and walk into the house.

He was afraid that if he got up a little late, he would be left behind by the younger ones, which would be so embarrassing for him.

Lei Jun and his wife, together with Lei Xinyi and Cao Xuemeng, a brother and sister, made up a total of five people, sitting at one table.

Lei Jun also said with a smile that this year is the year with the largest number of people celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in his family in recent years.

"Okay, eat quickly. All these delicious foods can't keep you hungry." Zhang Tong picked up a piece of meat and passed it to Lei Jun.

They ate and chatted, and also said some interesting things.

For example, Lei Jun would tell them that in addition to reading exciting novels, he would also play games and watch movies like everyone else.

"It's mainly because I'm under a lot of pressure at work, and I always want to find something else to relieve my stress," Lei Jun complained about himself.

This is easy to understand.

Xiaomi Group has now achieved a large scale in all aspects.

In addition, Lei Jun is 60 years old this year, and his energy is not as good as before.

At this time, Lei Jun actually wanted to find a successor for Xiaomi Group, but his daughter Lei Xinyi was still too young.

When Cao Xuemeng heard Lei Jun talk about these things, her first reaction was to think of her father Cao Shujie.

There are actually a lot of things in common between Lei Jun and his father Cao Shujie.

……

After dinner in the evening, Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui, brother and sister, originally wanted to go back, but Lei Jun and Zhang Tong did not let them go.

In the words of Lei Jun and Zhang Tong, there is plenty of place to live at home, and they just need to treat this place as their own home.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cao Xuemeng truly felt that time was like a wound-up spring, chasing him forward.

Under such circumstances, even Cao Yirui was forced by his sister to familiarize himself with more work, visit clients, and communicate with them.

To the extent that during that period, Cao Yirui was very dissatisfied with his sister's cramming style of work.

But even if you are dissatisfied, you have to keep it to yourself.

Cao Xuemeng would not pay any attention to him.

Until one night, Cao Xuemeng said to his brother: "Ruirui, after this year, I will go back to work at the Caojiazhuang Xuemeng Food Factory and will not come out. When the time comes, you will have to lead the Three Musketeers Design Studio."

Regarding this matter, Cao Xuemeng had actually told his brother when he called him back from outside.

Cao Yirui also knew in his heart that he couldn't be as willful as before this time.

"Sister, why don't you stay here and I'll go back to Caojiazhuang." Cao Yirui said gritting his teeth.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his sister say, "I do want to, but do you think our dad would like you?"

Cao Yirui: “…”

This is a critical hit!

He had an urge to vomit blood.

He never expected that his sister's critical hit would almost leave a trauma in his heart.

But he also knew that his sister was telling the truth.

Compared with his sister, he is immature in many aspects. If he wants to take control of a company as big as Xuemeng Food Factory, it is not something that can be solved by acting on impulse.

That night, the brother and sister chatted for a long time outside facing the moon in the sky.

This seemed to be the first time in a long time that the two siblings were able to chat so calmly under the moonlight.

Everyone expressed their own views on the future.

They also talked about their views on the next steps of the Three Musketeers Design Studio and Xuemeng Food Factory.

"Sister, I will learn something as soon as possible. If you feel tired, just call me. I can go back and replace you at any time." This is what Cao Yirui said.

Cao Xuemeng did not doubt her brother's statement.

She knew her brother was always smart, but he just seemed lazy sometimes.

Cao Xuemeng also felt that this incident might really stimulate his younger brother and make him grow up quickly.

In comparison, Cao Xuemeng thought this was a good thing.

It's better than her brother's lazy and careless attitude.

For their family, her brother's simple dream of becoming the child of a rich man is not possible. (End of this chapter)
