The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"Dad, aren't you home yet?" Mengmeng became anxious again in the car.

On the way back from Quancheng Airport, Mengmeng asked the same question no less than five times, and Cao Shujie's head was buzzing.

This is the same as when Mengmeng asked "Dad, why haven't we arrived yet" in the car or on the plane when we went to Xishuangbanna? It was very annoying.

Fortunately, they are almost home now.

Cheng Xiaolin was also annoyed by her daughter. She pointed forward and said, "Look, Mengmeng, we have already arrived at Huangzhai. We will reach Caojiazhuang in ten minutes. Can you please stop saying a few words?"

"Oh, okay then!" Mengmeng really shut up.

She felt that if she kept talking, her mother would give her a beating.

At this time, Caojiazhuang, Cao Jianlin's home.

Brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin took their old father out to visit several houses during the day, leaving something behind.

After coming back in the afternoon, I have been putting away the dishes at home.

My second uncle, my cousin's family, and my grandpa will be home tonight and will come directly to their place for dinner.

While he was packing up the big rooster he had just killed, his old father Cao Jianlin asked: "Shu Bin, why aren't your second uncles here yet? They should be here soon."

Cao Shubin's hands were full of oil and he couldn't move away, so he asked his son Cao Yichuan to take the phone.

"Son, call your second uncle and ask him when he will arrive." Cao Shubin said.

Before the call was made, Cao Jianlin shouted: "Maybe your brother is still driving a car."

"That's right, son, then call your second grandfather. Look for the number marked 'second uncle' on my phone." Cao Shubin said.

Seeing how troublesome his son was, Cao Jianlin said, "Forget it, I'll fight it myself."

Before the call could be made, the sound of a car honking its horn could be heard outside the door.

Then a cute voice came: "Grandpa, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Cao Shujie's voice came next: "Uncle, get Mengmeng some food first and stop her mouth."

At this moment, Cao Shujie drove down to get something from the car.

After they came back, they didn't go home and came directly to the uncle's place.

As for the things they brought back in the car, they planned to go back and pack them after dinner in the evening.

It's cold anyway, so some food won't spoil if left in the car for a long time.

The second brother and the second sister-in-law were stewing meat in the kitchen. When they heard the noise outside, the second brother put down what he was doing and went out to greet them.

Seeing his cousin, grandfather, and second uncle come in, Cao Shuxin greeted them one by one.

He also wiped his hands on his apron and stepped forward to support Grandpa Cao Zhenghu: "Grandpa, you have to slow down."

"I'm fine." Cao Zhenghu patted the back of his grandson's hand with his other hand and followed him into the house.

But if you look closely, you will find that Cao Zhenghu does not walk very fast.

In Cao Zhenghu's own words, he is really old.

Cao Jianlin first brought out snacks for Mengmeng and let her eat them.

He poured her another glass of warm water, for fear that she would choke on her food.

This is the only daughter among the younger generation in the family, and she is very precious.

The adults were happy to see Mengmeng eating quickly.

Cao Jianlin also asked her how she was playing outside.

"Grandpa, we had a great time." Mengmeng said.

She also took the initiative to talk about boating outside, playing in the primeval forest park, and riding an elephant.

The little one is not big, but she has experienced a lot.

He talks about what he saw and heard during this trip, and it is clear and logical.

The two brothers Cao Yichuan and Cao Yixin next to him were fascinated by it, with some yearning expressions on their faces.

During the meal, the two sisters-in-law Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing asked about their outings. They heard that their sister-in-law Cheng Xiaolin said that they had been to the Primeval Forest Park, the Manting Royal Garden, and the Mekong Starlight Night Market. They were so good as sisters-in-law. Especially envious.

"Mom, you are wrong. We have also been to a place where elephants are raised." Mengmeng quickly corrected her mother's mistake.

We are talking about the Wild Elephant Valley Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area.

This time, even Cao Jianguo, who is usually relatively silent, started to describe the places he visited and noted down. Cao Jianlin also said that he had to go out for a walk.

If you stay at home for a long time, people will be too lazy to think. Over time, the brain will become slow to respond, making people look stupid easily.

"Shu Bin, Shu Xin, are you two going back tomorrow? How many more days will you stay at home?" Grandpa Cao Zhenghu asked proactively while chatting while eating melon seeds after dinner.

Seeing the two grandsons nodding almost at the same time, Cao Shubin also said that their company would be opening soon, and he, the purchasing manager, would definitely have to go back.

"Brother, how is your company doing now?" Cao Shujie was curious and asked his cousin.

The current operating conditions of many factories are actually not good.

However, the situation of the foreign company where Cao Shubin works is relatively better, mainly benefiting from the premium of product brand.

The products are sold at a high price and the profit is also higher.

But Cao Shubin also mentioned something.

He said: "Shu Xin, Shu Jie, I don't know if you have noticed, but the consumption concepts of young people today have changed a lot. They all like to buy things online and rarely go to physical stores."

"And if you look at the Taobao Double Eleven Shopping Festival, the single-day transaction volume last year was very high. What does this mean?"

Cao Shujie understood what this meant.

This is why he has always attached great importance to the online sales of Xuemeng Fruit Store.

Cao Shubin continued: "This shows that in the next few years, online sales will account for an increasing proportion of young people's consumption outlook. I feel that in a few years, it will become more and more difficult to operate in physical stores."

He also said: "Shujie, you may not believe it. I also specifically asked some young people in the factory. They neither choose high-priced products nor so-called big-brand products, but only choose products with high cost performance."

Cao Shujie understood and said, "Brother, just watch. In a few years, young people will become more and more pragmatic, and most of them will not buy branded goods with high premiums."

Second cousin Cao Shuxin also agrees with this point of view.

However, when the current situation of the stock market was mentioned, the eldest brother and the second brother seemed particularly happy.

Cao Shujie just remembered something. The eldest brother and the second brother bought "LeTV".

Since Cao Shujie sold CITIC Securities last time, he has always said that he would pay attention to the situation of the stock market, but recently he has been having fun again. In addition to the Spring Festival, he has not seen how the stock market has risen during this period of time outside.

"Brother, how much does LeTV cost?" Cao Shujie asked.

Just after I asked, I heard my eldest brother Cao Shubin say: "When the market closed a year ago, it was just 90 yuan. I guess there will be a chance to rise after the year."

Cao Shujie reacted and asked his eldest brother: "Brother, you and your second brother still hold LeTV shares?"

"Well, take it, now we have more than twice the profit, but I think it will be almost the same in another month. Then I will sell it if the opportunity is suitable." Cao Shubin said.

"Yes, I think so too." Cao Shujie did not object. (End of chapter)
