Chapter 2
"Mengmeng, look who is that?" Cheng Xiaolin also saw her mother-in-law.

I just left after celebrating the Spring Festival at home last month, and Mengmeng still remembers grandma at the moment.

She called grandma loudly in the car, and she was still a little far away, and Wang Yuelan couldn't hear the sound outside.

When the car stopped, Wang Yuelan hurried to the back door to take a look inside, and shouted outside: "Linlin, it's cold outside, put on thick clothes for Mengmeng."

"Grandma!" Mengmeng was also jumping inside and shouting loudly.

After her mother dressed her and opened the car door again, Mengmeng didn't care about anything else, she stretched out her hands and rushed towards her grandma.

Fortunately, Wang Yuelan reacted quickly enough and hugged her in his arms: "Oh, Mengmeng, you're getting skinny again. If I can't catch you, you'll jump into the ditch."

Next to Cao Shujie's car was a sewer ditch made of cement.

"Mom, it's so cold outside, what are you doing standing here?" Cheng Xiaolin said to her mother-in-law.

Wang Yuelan shook her head: "I have stewed the pork ribs and chicken, and I have nothing to do at home, so I just come out for a walk."

After saying that, she remembered one thing: "Linlin, didn't you just leave last month after the Chinese New Year? It's only been a month, why are you back?"

Cao Shujie was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he didn't say in advance about resigning and returning to his hometown on the phone.

Now that I'm home, I don't care about it: "Mom, I quit my job, and I will develop at home from now on, and I won't go out."

"Ah!" Wang Yuelan was very surprised, and then she became a little angry: "What are you doing at home? Planting an orchard?"

"Yes, it's just planting orchards. Don't we have a few acres of orchards on the mountain? I'll work on those in the future." Cao Shujie had a plan in mind.

He was tired of the endless fast-paced life in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and he thought about slowing down the pace of life, living for a few more years, and not dying suddenly like in his previous life.

"What about your house in the capital? What should we do?"

Cao Shujie opened the trunk and started to get things out. Hearing his mother's question, he said directly, "It's sold, and he came back after selling the house. If he hadn't sold the house to go through the formalities, he would have come back long ago."

"What about Mengmeng going to school in the future? There are no good schools here." Wang Yuelan was also worried.

But Cao Shujie didn't care at all. He said, "Mom, Mengmeng hasn't even started kindergarten yet. Why do you think so far away? Let's talk about it in a few years."

Cheng Xiaolin glared at her husband and said to him: "Nonsense."

Then he held her mother-in-law's hand again, and said confidently, "Mom, I can teach the courses before junior high school, it's not a big problem."

Wang Yuelan pointed at her son and daughter-in-law, she didn't know what to say, so she simply didn't mention it: "Forget it, you can do whatever you like, I don't care."

Ke Mengmeng said, "Grandma, I'm hungry."

When Wang Yuelan heard her granddaughter say this, she immediately diverted her attention, and carried her granddaughter home first: "Mengmeng, grandma specially stewed a piece of fat meat for you, it's delicious."

"Hee hee, meat, eat meat." Mengmeng hugged grandma's neck with both hands, and kept laughing with her mouth pouted.

It was completely dark, and his father Cao Jianguo came back from the town on a motorcycle. As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Shujie, why are you back again?"

"Why are you back again? He plans to grow fruit at home, and he won't leave in the future." Wang Yuelan said angrily.

I talked with my son and daughter-in-law just now, and what the daughter-in-law said was: "Mom, Shujie's class is too tiring, and he stays up late every day, and the monthly mortgage in the capital is six or seven thousand, and I can't save even a little money." It’s better to come back and develop.”

After Cao Jianguo listened, he had something in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it.

He finally said helplessly: "Come back when you come back. Let him take care of the orchard for a few days and he will know that he is tired. There is no need to rush, and they will go back."

"Grandpa, where's the puppy?" Mengmeng watched the adults talking, but no one paid any attention to her. She searched around but didn't see the puppy, so she got anxious.

Hearing his granddaughter's shout, Cao Jianguo slapped himself on the thigh, with a look of resentment on his face: "Mengmeng, our dog was taken away by a dog thief. Grandpa will find you another day." Better, okay?"

As soon as the puppy was gone, Mengmeng burst into tears with a 'wow', no one tried to persuade him.

It was Cao Shujie who hugged her and said, "Mengmeng, let's go, Dad will take you to the street to watch the dogs."

In the countryside, the most indispensable thing is all kinds of dogs.

This move worked so well, the little guy stopped crying when he heard it, and she couldn't wait any longer, so she was about to go out holding her father's hand.

In the end, it was Cao Shujie who put on a thick coat for her, took her out and saw a dirt dog on the street, and the little guy stopped crying.

……

The first day a family of three returned to the countryside from the capital passed like this.

The next morning, when Cao Shujie woke up, he saw his father sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard with a bamboo broom.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming, Cao Jianguo shouted, "Shujie, come here."

Cao Shujie passed by, curious: "Dad, what are you doing?"

"You really don't want to go out, it's so nice outside, there's nothing at home..." Cao Jianguo tried to persuade his son not to stay at home.

But Cao Shujie made up his mind: "Dad, I won't go out, life is different anywhere, I can spend more time with you at home, how nice it is."

"But the family doesn't make money, and it's all spent all year round. You can't live on your laurels every day, right?" Cao Jianguo was a little angry at his son's disappointment.

He said: "Others are running outside, the more you mess around, the better, but you, the more you mess around, the more you come back, where do you want to put my old face!"

Hearing what his father said, Cao Shujie smiled: "Dad, why did I embarrass you? Just watch, at most next year, you must be the most beautiful in Caojiazhuang."

"Forget it, it's up to you." Cao Jianguo couldn't convince his son, so he didn't want to talk to him.

Another thing was mentioned: "I discussed it with your mother. If you really don't want to leave, then we will leave this house to you. Your mother and I will live in the house at the foot of the mountain."

"Dad, it's the opposite." Cao Shujie shook his head quickly. He had already planned to renovate the house at the foot of their family's mountain.

He said: "Dad, give me the house at the foot of the mountain. I'll find someone to pick it up and rebuild it in a few days. It will be beautiful and decorated. It will be comfortable to live in."

Seeing that his son didn't look like he was joking, Cao Jianguo didn't say anything else. He finally said: "Don't waste money, buy this and that, and spend all the money you have."

"Dad, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore." Cao Shujie leaned over to his father and said with a smile, "Dad, why do I see you getting younger and younger, and you look quite handsome."

"Go away." Cao Jianguo raised his hand and slapped his son, a bit unbearable for his son to praise him for being handsome.

But he didn't know that this was Cao Shujie's sincere words.

Twelve years later, Cao Jianguo's skin was tanned by the sun, and his whole body looked old and out of shape, not at all what he should have been at his age.

After the two finished talking, when Cao Shujie returned to the bedroom, his wife just woke up and was getting dressed. Looking from the side, Cao Shujie saw a small round football, which might become a football in a few years.

"Close the door, it's freezing." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie quickly closed the door, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I just told my father to rebuild the house at the foot of the mountain, make it bigger and better, and make it comfortable to live in."
