The leisurely life of a reborn dad

After the gongs and drums stopped, Cao Jianlong continued: "According to the rules, all students who pass the undergraduate degree will receive a cash reward of 2,000 yuan."

"But Shujie and I discussed it. Since Tingting won the top prize in our county's college entrance examination this year and brought glory to Caojiazhuang, we will reward her with 10,000 yuan in cash this time."

No one in Caojiazhuang has any objection to this.

After a while, accountant Gao Changyin walked onto the stage with two red envelopes, handed them to Cao Jianlong, then turned around and walked off the stage.

The bulging one holds 10,000 yuan, and the other one holds 2,000 yuan.

Cao Jianlong didn't hesitate and handed them to Cao Yuting and Cao Hongzhao respectively.

Both of them said thank you when they took it, and Cao Hongzhao didn't complain at all. He understood even more how difficult it was to get Cao Yuting's grades.

After the bonuses were awarded by the village committee, Wang Zhifeng came forward on behalf of Xuemeng Food Factory and walked onto the stage with light steps.

He nodded to Cao Shujie first, then walked to stand next to Cao Shujie, took the microphone, and said to the audience with a smile on his face: "On July 11th, the boss called me into the office and told me about classmates Cao Yuting and Cao Hongzhao. My classmates did very well in the college entrance examination this time, and our company should strongly encourage them."

"How to encourage?" Wang Zhifeng said about the conversation between Cao Shujie and him.

"The boss meant that he should be rewarded heavily, so that's what happened next."

"The boss said that from now on, our company will reward all children in Qingshi Town with 200,000 yuan as long as they get the top score in the college entrance examination in Pingyuan County."

"Our company will award 300,000 yuan to those who pass the first prize in Yiling City."

"If anyone gets the top score in the province, our company will give a generous reward of 500,000 yuan, or a 120-square-meter house in Pingyuan County."

None of them knew about the rewards of 300,000 and 500,000 yuan. Suddenly hearing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

Moreover, regarding the reward of 200,000 yuan, they had only heard "rumors" before, but had not received "official" positive recognition from Xuemeng Food Factory.

They are not sure whether this is true, or whether they will only reward Cao Yuting and then disappear?

But today, I heard Wang Zhifeng make an official announcement in front of everyone on behalf of Xuemeng Food Factory. As the boss of Xuemeng Food Factory, Cao Shujie did not deny it. This undoubtedly put the final word on this matter that has always been suspected.

At this moment, some parents really think that they must strictly supervise their children to study hard after returning home. No matter what, the worst is to get the top score in the county-level college entrance examination.

It’s just that the title of “No. 1 Scholar” itself means that when thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, there is destined to be only one person!

Most parents also understand that their children are not one piece of cake.

They were very excited in their hearts, but their minds were very clear. When they thought about their naughty child, they couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

But who knew that before Wang Zhifeng finished speaking, his voice came again.

"In addition to the rewards for the top scorers in the third-level college entrance examination, our boss also said that from now on, as long as your registered place of residence is Qingshi Town, our company will award a bonus of 10,000 yuan as long as your college entrance examination score is above 600 points. .”

"Our boss hopes that Xuemeng Food Factory can make a small contribution to urge the children in Qingshi Town to study hard and work hard for their future!"

As Wang Zhifeng finished speaking, louder cheers erupted from the audience.

It's all because everyone knows in their hearts that it is difficult to get the top score in the college entrance examination, but with a score of 600 or more in the college entrance examination, there may be some hope if you work hard.

Following another official announcement, everyone's eyes fell on the young man next to Wang Zhifeng, wondering what Cao Shujie was thinking about?

Some people breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the second article.

They had always heard about the 200,000 yuan reward for Cao Yuting, but they never understood what was going on with the 10,000 yuan reward for Cao Hongzhao.

When they heard Wang Zhifeng's official announcement, they realized that the truth was like this.

…

Ignoring what others thought, Wang Zhifeng asked Wang Lu and Liu Fei to drag their suitcases onto the stage and open the suitcases. Wang Lu took out a red plastic bag and handed it to Wang Zhifeng, which contained 200,000 in cash.

Wang Zhifeng just took it, turned around and handed it to Cao Shujie.

He took another 10,000 yuan in cash and handed it to Cao Hongzhao.

"Come on!" Wang Zhifeng patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Cao Shujie carried the red plastic bag containing 200,000 in cash and handed it to Cao Yuting. Before Cao Yuting could take it, Cao Shujie said again: "It's quite heavy, Tingting, where is your father? Ask him to lift it for you, but We can’t tire our No. 1 pick.”

"Haha!" Cao Yuting couldn't help it.

She also clenched her fists and bent her arms to show that she was strong.

"Uncle Shujie, I often help my mother with work at home, I can help!" she said.

"Oh, it seems that our top pick can't wait. In this case, I will give this money to you. You can keep it and open a bank account to save it after you get it back. You can't give it to your parents." Cao Shujie muttered. With.

"This money is enough for your tuition and living expenses during college. It is not for your dowry. Don't save money for your parents."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Yuting couldn't help laughing again.

She felt that Uncle Shujie usually looked quite serious, but sometimes he was quite interesting.

…

At noon, nearly one-third of the people in Caojiazhuang went to the Fuxing Hotel in the town to attend the college entrance banquet of Cao Yuting and Cao Hongzhao.

It’s not that the rest don’t want to go, it’s mainly because there are many tourists coming to Caojiazhuang, and they have to stay behind to set up stalls or work and maintain order, which is really hard to do without.

The Farm Restaurant and Xinjiang Hotel were given over to tourists visiting Caojiazhuang.

There were also many tourists who came late and heard about the award ceremony. They regretted it and felt that they had missed a big event.

At noon that day, Cao Hongzhao and Cao Yuting, under the instruction of their respective fathers, toasted a glass of wine to Cao Shujie, Cao Jianlong, Wang Zhifeng and others.

Cao Shujie and the others were not sticky either, and drank the glass of wine happily.

After finishing this matter, Xuemeng Food Factory organized another award ceremony for college entrance examination students from other villages in Qingshi Town.

This time, there were a total of 13 candidates who scored above 600 points.

This time, Luo Ningyou, a senior party official of Qingshi Town, and Shi Xiangdong, the mayor, also attended the award ceremony.

At the award ceremony, Wang Zhifeng awarded 130,000 yuan in cash on behalf of Xuemeng Food Factory.

Just like Cao Shujie said, based on the annual scholarship bonus of 1 million yuan, he hopes to spend this 1 million yuan every year, but the actual situation is that he only spent one-third this year, not even half. Less than.

…

Unknowingly, the hot July has become a fragment in the long history.

After entering August, the temperature is getting higher and higher. According to news reports, the temperature peak in some areas has reached over 40 degrees.

There are significantly fewer people going out.

There have been fewer people visiting Caojiazhuang Children’s Theme Park and Mengmeng Orchard in the past two days.

But there are many people who come to the park and play water sports.

So much so that the 200 boats in the artificial lake never stopped at all, operating from morning to night.

The other two popular places are water slide rafting and water guns for children.

After coming over, you can see little butt-naked dolls soaking in the water, holding water guns and firing at others.

The other children screamed at the unlimited water bombs. Some of them jumped into the pool without taking off their clothes, and asked their parents to pay them money. They then held a water gun and fired at the enemy on the opposite side.

Don't say that revenge can't be delayed overnight, not even for a minute!

Don't get used to their faults!

For a time, the fighting was quite intense.

But apart from these projects, there are fewer people queuing up in front of the usually favorite big slide.

One of the large slides is made of stainless steel, and it burns your hands as soon as you put it on it.

The other one made of high-hardness plastic is better, but it is also very hot in this weather.

Mengmeng hasn't gone out for the past two days and has been blowing on the air conditioner at home.

In her words, going out to bask in the sun on such a hot day made her brain tickle.

"Mengmeng, I've thought about it. How about we go to the beach in two days?"

During dinner, Cao Shujie asked his daughter.

Mengmeng spent three days finishing her homework after the vacation, and she was always looking forward to going out to play.

But Cao Shujie was very busy with various things some time ago, and now it has just come to an end. He also has time to accompany Mengmeng on a long trip.

As a result, when Mengmeng heard her father say that she was going to the beach, she shook her head: "No, I won't go to the beach."

"Then where do you want to go?" Cao Shujie wondered.

Mengmeng thought for a while and said to her father: "Dad, how about we watch the national flag being raised?"

"Raise the national flag?" Cao Shujie didn't react.

Cheng Xiaolin told him from the side: "Your daughter wants to visit the capital?"

"Why do you want to play there?" Cao Shujie didn't understand.

"Besides, it's very hot in the capital right now. Going there will mean you suffer." Cao Shujie really didn't want to go there at this time.

There are still many key people, so it would be uncomfortable to be crowded on a hot day.

"That's what mom said." Mengmeng said.

"Mom said that many people came to see the national flag raising, and I wanted to see it too," Mengmeng said.

But Cao Shujie said to her: "Mengmeng, when you were a child, you went to see the national flag being raised. Have you forgotten?"

Mengmeng immediately rolled her eyes and looked at Cao Shujie with wary eyes: "Dad, you are lying, why don't I remember."

"You were still young at that time. You are only this small, but you are still a little kid!" Cao Shujie gestured with his hands.

Mengmeng was not yet 3 years old at the time, and it had been 6 years since they returned from the capital. Things had changed and people had changed a lot.

Seeing that her father didn't look like he was telling lies, Mengmeng asked suspiciously: "Really? But why don't I remember?"

"There are still many things you don't remember." Cao Shujie didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed: "Our family used to have a house in Beijing. What is the community called?"

His memory was not very good, but Cheng Xiaolin did not forget it, so she opened her mouth and said: "Room 703, Unit 3, Building 16, Xingheyuan Community, but the house is a bit small, with a total of 86.9 square meters."

"..." Cao Shujie opened his mouth wide in surprise and looked at his wife with slightly dull eyes.

"You remember it so clearly?" he asked.

Cheng Xiaolin gave him a "Are you stupid?" look: "Can you remember the first house we bought?"

Too much firewood, rice, oil and salt are happening there.

The seemingly stable life in the capital brings endless pressure. On the contrary, it would be better to go back to Caojiazhuang to live a more comfortable and relaxed life.

Cao Shujie was touched in his heart, and he suddenly said, "How about I buy that house back?"

"You're stupid. We sold it for 30,000 square meters. Now it's at least doubled. If you don't want to live in it, why would you buy it?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't want to buy it.

She said: "It's better to stay in my hometown. It's fine to go to the capital once in a while and stay in a hotel. It's okay to stay here all the time."

"That's right." Cao Shujie sighed.

Mengmeng became more and more suspicious as she watched her father and mother discuss with no one else around.

When her parents stopped talking, she asked, "Mom, did we really live there before?"

"You were very young at that time and didn't remember anything yet." Cheng Xiaolin said, touching her little head.

"Oh, can I go take a look now?" Mengmeng asked.

Cao Shujie was about to refuse, but when he saw Mengmeng's eager eyes, he couldn't say no: "Okay, dad will take you there."

"Oh yeah!" Mengmeng stretched out two fingers with a happy smile on her face.

After saying that, she then turned to look at grandma and grandpa next to her: "Grandpa, grandma, will you go too?"

"I won't go, you go and play." Grandpa Cao Zhenghu still refused.

Cao Shujie thought for a while and felt that it would not be good for his grandfather to go. It was too hot at this time, and his grandfather's body might not be able to withstand the high temperature. If there was an accident, it would be too late for him to regret it.

"Mengmeng, wait until it gets cooler before taking your grandpa there," he said.

"Okay then, is grandma still going?" Mengmeng asked her grandma Wang Yuelan again.

As for grandpa, she automatically ignored him.

Cao Jianguo actually wanted to go, but he was very sad when his granddaughter didn't look at him.

Wang Yuelan shook her head: "You go and play, grandma wants to take care of your grandpa at home."

While talking, Wang Yuelan said again: "Mengmeng, grandma will transfer some money to you later, and you can have fun after you go there, remember?"

"Okay." Mengmeng agreed excitedly.

Wang Yuelan actually wanted to visit the capital. People of their age had a special yearning for the capital.

But my father-in-law is too old and can't live without people. There are so many things at home, so he can't just put them aside.

She thought to herself that it would not be too late to go there in the future.

Just after finalizing the matter, while eating, a familiar voice came from the evening news of Dongshan Provincial TV Station.

When Cao Shujie looked up, Mengmeng had already raised her finger and pointed at the TV screen and shouted: "Dad, look, it's Grandpa Wang."

Yes, it was Wang Qinghui who appeared on the TV screen at this time.

Wang Qinghui seemed to be giving a work report, and the content of the discussion was about how to ensure the implementation of a new agricultural economic development model across the province and explore a new agricultural economic development model in addition to ensuring the economic development of Dongshan Province.
