The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Coming down from the third floor of the administrative office building, three people came to the front of the building. Liu Furong was about to drive his Jetta when Cao Shujie shouted: "Mayor Liu, take my car today."

Cao Shujie drove over today in his Jing brand Junyue.

Liu Furong didn't have a driver, so he wasn't so particular about it. Cao Shujie had said so, so he didn't show any politeness. He and Wang Junye followed Cao Shujie towards the parking place.

When they saw Cao Shujie's car, Liu Furong and Wang Junye were stunned for a moment.

"Boss Cao has still stayed in the capital?" Wang Junye asked curiously.

Cao Shujie didn't have anything to shy away from. He nodded and said, "I used to work in the capital, but then I became a little uncomfortable with the fast pace there. I was really afraid that one day I would be exhausted outside and come back."

After hearing what Cao Shujie said, Wang Junye didn't ask any more questions.

Cao Shujie got into the driver's seat, Liu Furong followed him into the passenger seat, and Wang Junye sat in the back consciously.

As soon as he got into the car, he felt the difference between his BYD F6 and this car. He thought to himself, what kind of village director could drive a car worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan?

This made him even more afraid to underestimate Cao Shujie.

"Director Cao, your car is very comfortable to sit in. It's much better than my old Jetta." Liu Furong was very straightforward.

Cao Shujie laughed: "Mayor Liu, where are we going?"

Liu Furong gave directions from the passenger seat, and Cao Shujie followed his instructions and drove towards the Qingshi Town Industrial Park.

While still on the way, Liu Furong made another call. Cao Shujie didn't know who he was calling, but he heard Liu Furong order the other party to hurry up and wait at the north side of Qingshi Town Industrial Park.

Presumably it has something to do with the factory he wants to rent.

…

When Cao Shujie, Liu Furong, and Wang Junye went to see the workshop together, Cao Zhenghu also took Mengmeng to Dafurun Supermarket in Qingshi Town on an electric tricycle.

After coming over, Cao Zhenghu saw a large parking space in front of the door. He rode the electric tricycle directly, turned off the power, and applied the handbrake. Then he got off the car, took Mengmeng out of the car, and then put the three-wheeled car in the car. Foam pads and small bedding are folded and put away.

"Mengmeng, let's go to the supermarket to buy something." Cao Zhenghu pointed at the supermarket and said.

Mengmeng couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed the old man's hand and walked in: "Grandpa, hurry up. I want to buy watermelon candies to eat, and I also want to buy milk for grandpa."

"Mengmeng, do you have money?" Cao Zhenghu asked her.

Then I saw Mengmeng shaking her head with a smile: "Grandpa, I won't tell you."

Hearing what she said, Cao Zhenghu laughed.

The little guy's hand kept covering the small pocket of her jacket. Cao Zhenghu wondered if his great-grandson really had money?

But when I think about it carefully, I find it incredible. His grandson and grandson-in-law usually give Mengmeng some pocket money, but not much.

The grandfather and grandson entered the supermarket. Mengmeng saw the dazzling array of products and suddenly felt that her eyes were not strong enough.

"Grandpa, there are a lot of things here." Mengmeng said.

But she added: "But it doesn't have as many things as the supermarket where my parents took me last time."

Cao Zhenghu knew that his grandson and granddaughter-in-law should have visited the supermarket when they took Mengmeng to the city, but the supermarkets in the town were definitely not comparable to the supermarkets in the city.

Mengmeng has sharp eyes. As soon as she walked in, she saw the lollipops hanging on the shelves erected at the door.

She couldn't wait to reach out her little hand, pointed at the lollipop and called Cao Zhenghu: "Grandpa, I want to eat candy."

Cao Zhenghu looked at the individually packaged Alpine lollipop, nodded and said, "Okay, but we can't buy it now. When the transfer is completed later, grandpa promises to buy it for you."

"Why?" Mengmeng frowned, unable to understand.

Cao Zhenghu said to her: "When you go out later, just pay and take it away. I bought it for you now, and you can only look at it, but you can't eat it. How uncomfortable it is."

Mengmeng blinked her little eyes, it seemed like this.

Cao Zhenghu took the initiative to change the topic: "Hey, Mengmeng, let's go buy yogurt first, okay?"

"Okay!" Mengmeng nodded quickly and followed the grandfather to the supermarket.

While walking, Mengmeng suddenly screamed: "Grandpa, look."

"What?" Cao Zhenghu wondered.

He looked in the direction of his great-granddaughter's finger, and then he realized that his great-granddaughter was pointing at a pink mini bicycle.

"Grandpa, I have one too." Mengmeng seemed to have discovered a new world.

She shook off grandfather Cao Zhenghu's hand and ran towards the pink mini bicycle.

When she arrived, Mengmeng stretched out her hand and grasped the handlebars of the bicycle. She skillfully raised her legs and sat on it. She was ready to ride two laps like she did at home.

But the rear wheel of the mini bicycle in the supermarket was locked. Mengmeng tried to pedal it twice, but she couldn't ride it at all.

She also lowered her head to look, and then noticed that the rear wheel had a plug-in U-shaped lock.

"Grandpa, I can't ride anymore." Mengmeng said a little aggrievedly.

Cao Zhenghu also saw the lock. He immediately understood what was going on and said to Mengmeng, "This is for sale. You are not allowed to ride it casually. Let's ride the bike after we get home, okay?"

"Okay then!" Mengmeng had just agreed to the old man's request when her eyes caught sight of the basketball on the shelf next to her.

She pointed to the basketball on the shelf and said, "Grandpa, I want the ball."

Cao Zhenghu walked over, took down the smallest basketball from the shelf, and then walked up to Mengmeng: "You want this?"

Mengmeng looked at the small basketball in Grandpa's hand, and then at the obviously larger basketball on the shelf. She shook her head: "Grandpa, I don't want this, I want that."

Cao Zhenghu looked back at the basketball on the shelf and asked his great-granddaughter: "Why?"

Mengmeng said honestly: "That basketball is big."

Cao Zhenghu thought, what you said is really right!

A minute later, Mengmeng held a large basketball in both hands and walked forward with difficulty.

Cao Zhenghu followed behind, and he kept saying: "Mengmeng, grandpa, let me hold the basketball for you. I will give it to you when we go out."

"No, grandpa, do you think my child is easy to deceive? Don't you just want to buy me that little basketball?" Mengmeng snorted twice: "Humph, I won't be fooled."

Cao Zhenghu felt that he and Mengmeng were not on the same channel.

But Mengmeng was walking in front holding a large basketball, and Cao Zhenghu was following behind, saying a few words from time to time. Mengmeng seemed a little impatient, she turned back suddenly and said: "Grandpa, don't lie to me. I want this big basketball."

"Okay, okay, you don't drink yogurt anymore?" Cao Zhenghu asked her.

Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I drank, I forgot about it."

"Grandpa, can I treat you to some yogurt?" Mengmeng looked pleased.

Cao Zhenghu felt that this little guy was really lovable.

"Okay, Mengmeng, do you have money?" Cao Zhenghu asked her.

Mengmeng was so happy this time. She seemed to have forgotten that she was still holding the basketball in her hand. She withdrew her right hand and patted the small pocket of her jacket: "Grandpa, here is the money."

Before she finished speaking, she could no longer hold the basketball with her other hand. With a few "bang bang bang" sounds, the basketball fell to the ground.

"Yeah!" Mengmeng didn't care about getting the money and hurriedly chased the basketball that fell on the ground.

"Don't run away from the basketball." Mengmeng shouted loudly.

This time, many people were attracted to look over.

Seeing Mengmeng's innocent look, they all smiled knowingly.

…

"Director Cao, what do you think of this workshop?" Liu Furong asked, pointing to the workshop in front of him.

Judging from the name on the door of this factory, it should have been a 'food factory' before.

But due to poor management or other reasons, it has now completely declined.

Except for the security guard at the door, there is no other person to be found in the factory.

Moreover, a lot of grass has grown in the yard of the factory because it has been neglected for a long time.

The equipment in the workshop has also been evacuated, leaving only blurred paint lines on the ground and half-broken glass on several open office doors in the workshop.

But they have to admit that the space in this workshop is large enough for them to use.

"Mayor Liu, how do you calculate the rent?" Cao Shujie asked.

Liu Furong shook his head: "I really don't know this."

Having said this, he turned around and asked another young man in his thirties: "Xiao Liu, do you know?"

This young man named Liu Yongqiang was the one Liu Furong called just now. Cao Shujie didn't know what his specific job was.

Just after he finished speaking, Liu Yongqiang continued: "Mayor Liu, the rent here is 20 cents per square meter."

When he heard the price, Cao Shujie thought it was really cheap.

"I rented it," he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Furong continued: "Director Cao, you are mainly doing projects to benefit the people this time. The town cannot let you take the risk alone. I make the decision and give you two months' rent exemption."

Wang Junye heard what Liu Furong said from the side, and he secretly sighed in his heart: "Mayor Liu really has nothing to say to Director Cao."

Cao Shujie didn't know what Wang Junye was thinking. After reading it carefully again, he was really satisfied with the workshop and the rent of two cents per square meter.

"Mayor Liu, that's it. Let's go back and sign a lease contract. I'll hand over the money and find someone to clean this place and install industrial air conditioning." Cao Shujie said.

He thought that the sooner he could get it done, the better, so he could use it in advance.

When Liu Furong heard what Cao Shujie said, he said without saying a word: "Director Cao, let's go. After the contract is signed later, let's have a glass of celebratory wine."

Cao Shujie didn't have time to drink today. He said, "Mayor Liu, I can't do it today. I'm still busy over there, so I have to get back to work. I'll definitely treat you to a drink when I finish my work another day."

Liu Furong said: "Okay, let's drink another day."

Returning to the administrative building, the remaining matter of signing the contract became easier.

Someone went to check it out and found that the workshop area of ​​the food factory they just looked at was 2,381.4 square meters. Calculated at 2 cents per square meter per day, the monthly rent was 14,288.4 yuan.

When signing the contract, all of this was clearly written down, including the two months' rent that Liu Furong decided to give him for free.

Cao Shujie plans to rent it for a year to see how it goes.

There will be more later
