Mengmeng's words made Cao Jianguo laugh. He took his granddaughter from his son and held him in his arms. He pointed at the new house that had started building the second floor and said, "Look, Mengmeng, your new house will be built soon."
Now, we’ll be able to move in in a few months.”
But this attraction to Mengmeng is far less than the attraction of puppies to her.
Cao Shujie said: "Dad, she is too young, what does she know?"
"Oh, look at my brain, I'm so old and confused." Cao Jianguo laughed and teased himself, and asked his son: "Shujie, what are you doing here?"
"This is not because the weather is nice today, so I take Meng Meng out for a walk." Cao Shujie said.
"Oh woo..."
"Oh oh oh!"
The two puppies also expressed their presence at the right time.
Cao Shujie added: "They are very energetic even when they are free at home, so I took them out for a walk."
Cao Jianguo nodded: "It's not safe to build a house here. You can go up the mountain to play. The fruit trees on the mountain are all in bloom. They are very beautiful."
"I was just thinking about going and taking a look." Cao Shujie raised his feet and carried his daughter up the mountain.
Cheng Xiaolin said hello to her father-in-law and followed her up the mountain with her two puppies.
She looked at the two men in front of her stumbling together, and was particularly worried that her husband had dropped her daughter. She also told her husband from behind: "Husband, please slow down and hold Mengmeng tight."
Cao Jianyou, who was working for them, saw the leisurely and contented figures of Cao Shujie and his family, and his face was full of envy: "Brother Jianguo, good days are coming for you two in the future."
When Cao Jianguo heard what he said, he felt secretly happy in his heart, but he still said: "Hey, what a good day. You didn't see the house being built for him, so I'm here to help."
Cao Jianyou shook his head and said, "Brother Jianguo, this is different. I'm not blind. I can see that my eldest nephew is a capable person."
"There are very few capable young people these days who are willing to come back and develop. Our village is lacking a decent leader."
"Jianyou, don't brag about him. If he knew you praised him so much, his eyes would fly to the sky." Cao Jianguo said this, but he was even happier in his heart.
Cao Zhenggang looked around and came out. He looked at Cao Jianguo and said, "Jianguo, have you asked Shujie if he has found someone to decorate it?"
Cao Jianguo didn't think much about it. He shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhenggang, I really didn't ask him, what's wrong?"
"That's what happened. A friend I used to know is now engaged in decoration. He knew that Shujie was building a second floor here and wanted to ask me for help. If Shujie hasn't found one yet, he thought
come and see."
Finally, he added: "That friend of mine works very carefully."
Cao Jianguo nodded, but did not agree on his son's behalf. He said, "Uncle Zhenggang, I really can't say anything about this. I'll ask Shujie when he comes down from the mountain later."
He said: "After all, it is a place where young people live. The two of them have just returned from the capital. They may have their own ideas. I can't say how they want to decorate it."
This is the truth. Cao Zhenggang knew that Cao Jianguo was not perfunctory with him. When young people like these who have stayed abroad come back to their hometowns, they all advocate European-style decoration and pastoral style.
And these are precisely the weaknesses of old people like them.
"Okay, when Shujie comes back later, you can ask for help. If we find him well, then forget it." Cao Zhenggang didn't force anyone to do anything.
…………
On the mountain, Cao Shujie came up carrying her daughter Mengmeng.
His wife, Cheng Xiaolin, followed behind with two little huskies.
"Wow, so beautiful!" Mengmeng looked at the fruit trees and flowers all over the mountain and danced happily.
At the end of last month, the fruit trees on the mountain showed signs of blooming. In the past few days, both kiwi and apple trees have bloomed.
White and beige flowers are intertwined and layered. At first glance, it looks like a sea of flowers, making people feel physically and mentally comfortable.
Taking a breath of fresh mountain air and smelling the rich fragrance of fruit trees and flowers is also intoxicating.
Cheng Xiaolin was a little surprised: "Husband, our fruit trees do bloom relatively early. I think other people's trees haven't bloomed yet."
"Of course, my nutrient solution is not for nothing." Cao Shujie did not hide it from his wife.
He said: "My wife, let me ask you, compared with those who often take various nutritional supplements and those who don't, are they the same?"
"It's all you can do, okay?" Cheng Xiaolin glanced at him and said, "No matter how others ask, don't tell anyone about the nutrient solution."
"Can I not know? Apart from you and Mengmeng, no one else knows." Cao Shujie raised his eyebrows and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue-eyed husky on the ground became dissatisfied and raised his neck: "Oh, oh, oh..."
The brown-eyed little husky then raised his neck and roared: "Oh... woof woof!"
"Haha!" Cheng Xiaolin couldn't help but laugh. She said to her husband: "Are these two dogs aware of it? Husband, do you want to kill them?"
"You can go ahead." Cao Shujie was too lazy to talk to his wife.
Mengmeng didn't want to sit on her father's shoulder anymore. She kept yelling that she wanted to get down and walk by herself. Cao Shujie slowly put her down: "Mengmeng, you have to run slowly."
He still remembers the last time his daughter fell down here. Fortunately, she didn't lose her appearance.
Letting her daughter play with the two little huskies, Cheng Xiaolin walked up to her husband and said, "Husband, I think we should fence this mountain?"
"And you said last time that you wanted to contract the remaining mountain fields. I think it's better to confirm it as soon as possible." Cheng Xiaolin reminded him.
Cao Shujie nodded. What his wife said made sense: "Then I will go find the village party secretary and village director tonight."
"Don't go empty-handed, bring something with you." Cheng Xiaolin reminded him.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Don't worry, it's all a trivial matter."
"Okay, anyway, I think the contracting of the mountain fields should be settled as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams." Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie disagreed. He said, "Honey, you are overthinking it. If someone had contracted this hilltop, it would have been contracted by now. Why is no one responsible?"
Cheng Xiaolin looked towards the top of the mountain, thoughtfully: "You said last time that transportation here has not changed, watering, and receiving goods are more difficult?"
"Otherwise, what do you think? No matter how short the mountain is, it is still a mountain. It is troublesome to go up and down. The main force in the village is still old. How many of them can hold on when they go up and down the mountain every day?" Cao Shujie shook his head.
Even Cheng Xiaolin was silent. She seemed to have just realized one thing. There were not many young people like them who returned to their hometowns to develop their careers. Ninety-nine percent of them were working outside or starting their own businesses. They had to be free during the holidays.
Maybe come back.
Mengmeng didn't care what her parents were talking about, she was playing with the two puppies.
Seeing her mother holding the dog leash, Mengmeng's eyes rolled around. She went over to her mother to ask for the dog leash: "Mom, give it to me."
"You can't hold them." Cheng Xiaolin refused.
Even though these two puppies are only more than ten days old, they are growing up quickly. In addition, Mengmeng is too young. As soon as the two puppies start running, they may drag her down, which will be troublesome.
Already.
"Mom, give it to me quickly." Mengmeng spoke vaguely and snatched it away.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't give it, so she hugged her mother's legs, her head slipped between her mother's legs and went behind Cheng Xiaolin, then she hugged her mother's legs as if there were no bones to support her, and sat directly on Cheng Xiaolin's feet.
Up.
"Mom, give it to me." Mengmeng started to act like a baby.
She is a typical person who will never give up until she reaches her goal!
Cheng Xiaolin was so angry that she wanted to kick her out: "Hubby, look at Mengmeng, how annoying she is."
"Mengmeng, get up quickly, or you will be beaten." Cao Shujie said with a bit of a smirk, as if he wanted to see his daughter in bad luck.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Shujie's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was his sister Cao Huifang calling, and he immediately felt a headache.
When he got through the phone and asked, he heard his sister say that she was coming back from the Qingming Festival holiday.
"Brother, I heard from our mother that you have returned to your hometown. Are you free to pick me up?" Cao Huifang shouted on the phone.
