The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"Uncle Long, look at how good these children are. They look very clever. The future of our Caojiazhuang depends on them." Cao Shujie looked at the group of children running away and couldn't help but think of his childhood.

Going up the mountains to steal pears and pick apples, and going down to the river to fish and catch shrimps. I haven't done anything serious, and I'm not good at it.

I didn't even think about studying hard at that time, but I'm still very promising now.

Cao Jianlong didn't know what Cao Shujie was thinking, so he nodded in agreement: "No, there are quite a few children in our village this year. A prosperous population will inevitably lead to prosperity."

"We will help them lay a solid foundation in this lifetime, and wait for them to grow up. When the time comes, Caojiazhuang will be like a dragon and a phoenix, and it will be just around the corner."

As they got further and further away, Gao Changyin interrupted them: "Secretary Cao, Director Cao, our Cao Family Village has taken off now."

"Look at what I said, Lao Gao is right." Cao Jianlong didn't mention it again.

He pointed to the front and told a few people to go over there and see if there was anything they could do to help.

Everyone walked there together, and Cao Shujie also saw his mother, Wang Yuelan, holding a knife and chopping chicken.

He saw his father, Cao Jianguo, chopping ribs not far away. He cut the ribs cleanly with one knife stroke.

There is also a pork cutter next to it. There is a large pot full of pork. It looks a bit greasy, but the meat is stewed and it becomes fragrant.

As they walked along, people kept saying hello, calling Director Cao, Secretary Cao.

There were also those who called Accountant Gao and Director Lu, making them smile from ear to ear.

How could such a grand occasion have happened before?

"Let's hurry up and don't delay lunch." Cao Jianlong shouted.

Cao Shujie still had to go home to pick up his daughter, wife and children, but there was no rush at this point. They came here just to wait.

He was going to help here. He took a knife and wanted to kill the fish. He was stopped by the person next to him, saying that he was the leader today and was going to do something big. How could he kill fish here and waste time? .

Cao Shujie was helpless. What's the matter?

More and more people came over. Everyone didn't just stand around or sit at the table eating and drinking. They all helped with the dishes.

Today, everyone in the village comes to eat, except for those who are unable to survive due to physical reasons, but they will also arrange for hot meals to be delivered to their doorsteps.

Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, Cao Shujie felt that it was really worth it.

The kitchen of the farmhouse restaurant is in full swing.

Some dishes such as chicken, fish, and ribs are fried in advance and placed in the steamer.

The remaining vegetables are also cut and set aside, and the complicated ones are finished and will be stir-fried later.

When Cao Shujie entered the kitchen, he saw that the chefs who originally belonged to the farm restaurant were all sweating profusely.

He felt a little sorry: "Masters, thank you for your hard work today. I'll have someone bring you some gifts later."

"Director Cao, there's no need." said Cao Shutai, who was cooking.

He and Cao Shujie are of the same generation, and they both came from the fifth server.

But now in Caojiazhuang, no one mentions this issue.

Everyone wishes they had the same ancestor.

"Brother Tai, take it as long as you are told." Cao Shujie said with a straight face.

If Cao Shutai doesn't take it, what will the others do?

Especially those who do not belong to Caojiazhuang, they are even more embarrassed to reach out and take it.

But others are actually helping Caojiazhuang with work today.

Cao Shujie understood this clearly.

He finally said: "After we finish, I will give you a red envelope of 300 yuan per person. Don't be too little."

"Oh, you can't ask for Director Cao's red envelope. We work, you return the things, and then we take your money." The person in charge of the kitchen, named Gao Hongbo, refused on the spot.

But if Cao Shujie says it, he must do it.

Without allowing Gao Hongbo and the others to refute, Cao Shujie went out first, and the remaining people in the kitchen all subconsciously smiled on their faces.

"Listen fucking clearly. Director Cao is still thinking about you. Everyone, work hard. If anyone dares to be lazy, I will kill him today." Gao Hongbo shouted loudly.

The people working in the kitchen seemed more energetic.

In the orchard on Cao Shujie Mountain, only Zhuang Xuesong, Zhu Shengliang and others remained.

People from Caojiazhuang, such as Cao Shuchao and Cao Jianjun, who was in charge of the breeding farm, also came over.

When Cao Shujie was walking around the farm restaurant, he saw that they were also helping and working here, using their free time to talk to the people next to them, laughing and joking, and they looked very lively.

Cao Shujie also walked over and told Cao Shuchao and Cao Jianlong that after cooking the dishes later, he would also send some food to the people left behind on the mountain.

Cao Shuchao and Cao Jianlong all agreed one by one.

After Cao Shujie left, the people next to him who were talking to Cao Shuchao and Cao Jianlong were somewhat envious and said that they were so lucky to work for Cao Shujie.

The wages are high, the bonuses are high, wages are paid on time, and there are benefits during every year and festival. The key is working in orchards and farms. Cao Shujie even buys insurance for them. How can this be justified?

The more this happens, the better Cao Shujie can be compared.

…

Walking slowly, Cao Shujie also saw that five of his young children also came over in advance to help with the work.

Not only these people, but also Cao Shujie's former elementary school classmates, there were several people who looked familiar to Cao Shujie, but he just couldn't name them.

It wasn't until someone introduced himself that Cao Shujie came back to his senses.

He pointed at the other person and said awkwardly: "Ah, it's you."

They are usually outside, the big guys don't see each other often, and they can't even remember their names when they meet.

At this time, it was also obvious that it was imperative for everyone to get together to have a meal and chat.

People of the same age can hardly remember their names. If they meet outside, they will most likely be treated as strangers.

Or point to the other person and ask if you are that one?

They are obviously from the same village and grew up in the same age group, but their relationship seems a bit distant.

"Director Cao, let's eat a piece of watermelon first." An old lady-in-law was cutting fruit. When she saw Cao Shujie coming, she picked up a corner of watermelon from the cut plate next to her and handed it to Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie quickly waved his hand and refused. At this time, even if the outdoor temperature was below zero, the watermelon was colder than refrigerated water in the summer, and Cao Shujie couldn't eat it.

The farm restaurant has expanded twice, and there are now a total of 126 tables in the yard, all of which are solid wood round tables.

The children can fit in even if they squeeze together.

Besides, crowding seems more intimate and lively at this time.

After Cao Shujie turned around, there was no help from him.

Thinking that his grandfather, wife and children were still waiting at home, Cao Shujie looked up and looked around. He didn't see Cao Jianlong, so he simply called him and told him to go home and pick him up first.

"Shujie, you go, but remember to come back early, you have to talk later." Cao Jianlong said.

"Okay." Cao Shujie responded without being pretentious.

They had decided this in advance. On such a happy day, the whole village was here, and both he and Cao Jianlong had to go on stage to say a few words.

It also explains to everyone in Caojiazhuang the development direction of Caojiazhuang in the next year or even five years, so that everyone can be prepared in advance.

When Cao Shujie returned home, his uncle and two brothers were here.

The two sisters-in-law were talking to his wife on the second floor.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming back, Cao Jianlin called him: "Shujie, what were you doing so early in the morning?"

"Uncle, I just went to the farm restaurant to have a look, and I wanted to help. People thought I was clumsy, so they didn't use me." Cao Shujie said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhenghu laughed: "How was it? Are there many people passing by?"

"Grandpa, there are a lot of people, and there are a lot of people working. Everyone is busy cooking. I don't have anything to do. I will come back to pick you up first and join in the fun." Cao Shujie said.

While they were talking, Mengmeng ran down from upstairs. When she saw Cao Shujie, she ran directly to Cao Shujie and reached out to grab Cao Shujie's arm: "Dad, are you really back?"

"Mom told me, I still don't believe it." Mengmeng raised her little face and looked at her father, her eyes full of smiles.

"What do you want to do?" Cao Shujie asked his daughter.

I always feel that Mengmeng’s expression is probably up to something.

"Hey, I just told my mother that I wanted to buy a toy. She said that she is pregnant with the baby and has no money, so she asked me to buy it from you." After Mengmeng finished speaking, she looked at her father expectantly, her eyes widening. I didn't blink, for fear that my father wouldn't agree.

Cao Shujie thought it was something. He was so busy that he nodded in agreement and asked his daughter what toys she wanted to buy.

As for his wife's words about not making money, Cao Shujie didn't believe it.

Just for the videos his wife uploads on Youku, if someone clicks to watch them later, he will get money. Add in the advertising fees, and the money will be quite a lot.

When Mengmeng heard that her father promised to buy her a toy, she quickly said, "It's on mom's phone. I'll get it right away."

After saying that, Mengmeng turned around and ran upstairs again.

Seeing Meng Mengfeng's behavior, brothers Cao Shuxin and Cao Shubin also laughed.

Not long after, Mengmeng grabbed the phone in one hand and held on to the stairs with the other.

She handed the phone to Cao Shujie: "Dad, look, it's this toy."

Cao Shujie took his wife's mobile phone from his daughter's hand, skillfully entered his birthday and unlocked it with the password.

He looked at the Taobao page that opened on the screen. It was a kitchen toy for cooking and playing house, as well as a sink and faucet, which looked very realistic.

Compared with the toys I bought for Mengmeng before, this toy looks more refined from the picture and the material should be better.

Of course, the price is not cheap, more than 500 yuan.

Cao Shujie lowered his head to look at the longing look in Mengmeng's eyes, and said without saying a word: "I'll buy it for you."

After finishing speaking, he directly used his wife's mobile phone to place an order on Taobao, entered the payment password, and the order was completed.

Then a text message showed that his wife's Rural Commercial Bank bank card was missing 532.8 yuan.

Cao Shujie didn't feel bad at all, so he deleted the text message, exited Taobao on his mobile phone, and returned the phone to his daughter: "Hey, Mengmeng, look, dad bought it for you, just wait to receive the goods in a few days."

"Hey, thank you, dad." Mengmeng looked even happier.

Cao Shujie also told her seriously: "Don't tell mom, this is our little secret."

"Okay!" Mengmeng agreed readily.

"Also, tell mom and the two aunties that we are going to eat and ask them to come down."

"Yeah!" He nodded, receiving the mission.

She still couldn't understand what the dangers of the world were.

She happily ran upstairs with her mother's cell phone and returned it to her mother.

She was about to tell her mother that her father had bought her a toy, but when she thought that her father said that this was a little secret between them, Mengmeng shut up again.

Cheng Xiaolin saw that her daughter suddenly became taciturn, and she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't see what was wrong.

Plus her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were chatting with her nearby, so Cheng Xiaolin had no time to be distracted.

She is now pregnant with her second child, and is urging her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to consider having another child, especially since the eldest son of their two families is already old and no one needs to take care of them. They have very little time to have a second child at this time. Abundant.

And the current economic conditions are better than before.

Cheng Xiaolin gave the two sisters-in-law a clear and logical analysis.

But neither Zhang Yi nor Ren Jingjing have any plans to have a second child.

"Linlin, it's not like you don't know that money is everywhere outside, and it costs money to go to school. Those cram schools are extremely expensive. The cram schools and interest classes our boss enrolled him in cost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year. I'm still here Those who spend less money can’t stand it if another dick comes.”

"Big brother also makes a lot of money." Cheng Xiaolin said.

But Zhang Yi said: "How can I talk about this? You also know that the more you earn, the more you spend, and there are more places to spend. I really can't stop it."

"I started planning to spend less this month at the beginning of the month, but at the end of the month your brother's salary is gone, and I don't even know where the money went." Zhang Yi looked annoyed.

Ren Jingjing is better off. She and her husband are busy with the Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. and have no time to spend when they are busy.

But in their line of work, giving gifts is a common thing, and Yue Guang spends more money on giving gifts.

"Mom, just now Dad said that we should go down to eat."

"Oh, sister-in-law, let's go then." Cheng Xiaolin said to the two sisters-in-law.

Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing accompanied her downstairs.

Mengmeng followed behind, jumping up and down, looking very happy.

Dad bought her toys, hehe!

When we came downstairs, we met up with Cao Shujie and the others and walked towards the farm restaurant together.

Considering his grandfather and his wife, Cao Shujie originally wanted to drive, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

It's not far to walk there, you'll be there in a few minutes.

After Cao Zhenghu came over, many people standing at the door greeted him.

Someone else brought Cao Zhenghu in and asked him to sit down.

Cheng Xiaolin took Mengmeng's hand and went to other places with her two sisters-in-law.

"Mom, it's like a wedding here, there are so many people." Mengmeng followed Cheng Xiaolin and said something unintentionally.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded, it was true, it was even more lively than getting married.

When we get married, can we set up more than 100 tables?

Were there more than 1,000 people present to congratulate you?

Obviously, there are very few that can display so much.

My sister-in-law Zhang Yi followed up and said, "Mengmeng is right. If someone happens to get married today, it would be even more joyful."

Second sister-in-law Ren Jingjing also said: "It's true."

"Thinking about that scene is exciting."

I came to a table and sat down. There were already several people sitting at the table.

They were all relatively young. When they saw Cheng Xiaolin and others coming, they all stood up and called sister-in-law.

"We have no outsiders today, just sit down and don't be so polite." Cheng Xiaolin asked them to sit down quickly.

"Hey!" Several people nodded and sat down.

However, these people seemed a little reserved after Cheng Xiaolin and the others came over.

It's not as casual as before.

Cheng Xiaolin saw this, and greeted the sisters enthusiastically, asking them what they were usually busy with. Coupled with the pistachio of Mengmeng, the atmosphere gradually improved.
