"Mom, what are you doing?" Mengmeng said in a long voice.
There was grievance in his voice.
Cheng Xiaolin was too lazy to answer her, but she returned her son's red envelope to him.
Seeing her son Cao Yirui holding the red envelope and giving it to his sister, Mengmeng was a little reluctant to accept it this time.
She originally thought of secretly getting the red envelope from her brother, but then without anyone noticing, the money would be hers.
Well now, my mother is watching her brother give her the red envelope. She must pay back the money, and she has to pay for two more toys herself. What's the point?
Mengmeng was so tired that she didn't even want to accept the red envelope.
Isn’t this just losing money?
How do you say that? I'm trying to save your capital, but I didn't expect that it would also cost you my capital!
Vomiting blood!
But Cao Yirui was still thinking excitedly about his sister buying him two toys, and said innocently: "Sister, here you go, take it quickly, I want the toys."
"Look at how stupid you are." Mengmeng muttered to his brother.
But Cao Yirui didn't understand, and he didn't care at all. In his eyes, the red papers in the red envelope were of no use. It would be more practical to give him toys.
While they were chatting, Cheng Yunping drove over with his wife and children.
When she saw her two nephews, Cheng Xiaolin took two red envelopes containing 200 yuan and handed them over. After a while, Mengmeng and her brother also received two red envelopes from their aunt.
It's still 200 yuan, that's what it means.
There's nothing to worry about.
My elder sister and brother-in-law came over to visit her parents' house today on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Liu Yingying's family was from the local area, so she knew it well, so she must stick with her eldest sister and brother-in-law first, and they would go to her house in the evening, so as not to delay things.
"Brother-in-law, you have become the village party secretary." Cheng Yunping approached his brother-in-law and asked about it.
He still listened to what his mother said, and his mother also heard what his daughter Cheng Xiaolin said.
Li Xiaojuan is not surprised that her son-in-law is the village party secretary. Her son-in-law has this ability.
Cao Shujie told his brother-in-law that this job has greater responsibilities.
"The village party secretary is paid, right? Is he a civil servant? Is he a serious official?" Cheng Yunping was more concerned about this.
But Cao Shujie told him that village party secretaries were not civil servants at all. At best, they were paid wages by the local government and were covered by insurance.
Caojiazhuang is developing well, and the salary given to him by the superiors is a little higher, only more than 4,000 yuan a month. No more is possible.
However, the village committee has its own monthly allowance. Cao Shujie, plus the salary of the village party secretary, actually gets six to seven thousand yuan, which is considered a high-income group.
As for insurance and pensions, Cao Shujie didn't care at all.
For him, even if he really retires at the age of 60, he will still have a pension of several thousand dollars.
Liu Yingying was discussing the child with her eldest aunt.
Li Xiaojuan has already gone to cook.
She just asked her daughter if she wanted to stay tonight, but Cheng Xiaolin also told her that she had other things to do in the evening and that she would not be able to stay tonight.
After getting married, especially after having children, many things are out of your control.
I had such a wonderful idea before I got married. When I get a car, I will drive back to my hometown to see my parents in two weeks, and the old people on both sides will take turns to see me.
When I have a car in the future, I will take my family out for a trip once a month.
But in fact, these are all visions.
For most married people, this is an impossible assumption.
Father-in-law Cheng Rengui has already brought out the wine, which is the Maotai that Cao Shujie brought for him before. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, his son and son-in-law are all here, so it doesn't matter if he drinks some good wine.
However, Cao Shujie didn't want to drink much and asked his father-in-law if he had any other wine.
"There are others, but they are not very good." Cheng Rengui is a real person.
Cao Shujie doesn't care whether something is good or not. In his opinion, Maotai is just like that.
There was no need for his father-in-law to look for it. Cao Shujie went to the place where the wine was stored and took a look. Finally, he took out the box of local Little Tiger wine and said, "Just drink this. I think it's pretty good."
The son-in-law said this, and Cheng Rengui did not refute it. As for Cheng Yunping, he had no right to speak and could only listen on the side.
But after the food was served, Cheng Yunping had to drink with him.
There weren't many people there, just the old couple, their daughter, and their son. The big guys didn't have separate tables, so they all ate together and had a good time.
For Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan, this is what they want to see most.
When people get old, they don't care about anything else. They talk about how much money they want to make, but in the end they give a share to their two children's families.
…
It wasn't until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon that Cao Shujie and the others returned. When they went back, their mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan filled the trunk for them again. Some were fried New Year's goods, and some were vegetables grown at home. Cao Shujie always said that they had them at home.
There was no shortage of things, but my mother-in-law didn't think so. She emphasized that the house belonged to them, and the couple had put these things in it.
When you come to your parents' house, you can't go back empty-handed.
On the way back, his wife Cheng Xiaolin was driving.
As a female driver with many years of driving experience, Cheng Xiaolin's driving skills are still very stable.
But at this time when they went back, everyone else was also going back. By the time they returned to Caojiazhuang, it was already past 6 o'clock and the sky was completely dark.
As soon as he got home, he heard laughter coming from the house. When he went in, he realized that his uncle and his family were coming.
"Uncle, I was thinking of visiting you tomorrow. Why did you come early?" Cao Shujie looked at his uncle Wang Jialiang and was very happy.
Meng Yanmei was cooking with her eldest sister Wang Yuelan in the kitchen. When she heard her nephew Cao Shujie's voice, Meng Yanmei looked outside and said, "It's the same wherever we go. We don't know the difference."
Wang Shouzhi was sitting nearby serving tea and water to his grandfather, uncle and father. When he saw his cousin's family of four returning, Wang Shouzhi quickly stood up to greet them.
After Long Hongxia became pregnant, her physical condition was not good and she often felt sleepy. She was sitting on the sofa and chatting with her cousin Cao Huifang.
Seeing her cousin and sister-in-law coming in, she also stood up.
She might have gotten up violently, and her body was still shaking a little. Fortunately, Cao Huifang was there to support her in time, and asked her to sit down quickly: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Long Hongxia waved her hand and told her it was okay.
"I'm just a little anemic. I'll be fine if I rest for a while." Long Hongxia told him.
Cheng Xiaolin, who had just entered the house, also saw something strange about Long Hongxia. She quickly put down what she was holding and walked over: "Hongxia, sit down quickly. You must rest more."
"Sister-in-law, it's really okay." Long Hongxia said a little stubbornly.
Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "I know it's okay, but for the sake of your child, you have to rest more."
This sentence touched Long Hongxia's heart, and she sat down on the sofa obediently.
"Did you just say anemia?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.
Long Hongxia nodded: "I went to the hospital for a checkup, and there was nothing wrong with her except anemia."
"This is easy to handle. I'll get you some whole-wax deer antler slices. You can take one piece every two days to replenish qi and blood and reduce physical weakness." Cheng Xiaolin said to her.
Long Hongxia knew how valuable the wax velvet antler slices were, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Cheng Xiaolin didn't give her the chance at all. Then she got up and went to the room where the velvet antler slices were kept. It didn't take long before she got back a box in a transparent box.
Chopped deer antler slices.
"It's all made of wax, you just need to hold it in your mouth." Cheng Xiaolin said generously.
This box is worth a lot of money, but if it is given to my family, they are willing to give it to me.
Not to mention Long Hongxia, even Wang Shouzhi was very grateful and kept saying thank you sister-in-law.
Wang Jialiang and Meng Yanmei, who helped in the kitchen, were also very grateful.
The daughter-in-law is pregnant, but has been anemic. They also bought donkey-hide gelatin for her, but the effect is not very obvious. In addition, the daughter-in-law is weak and they dare not let him eat too much. The doctor told them to eat some good deer antlers before.
Tablets can also alleviate this problem.
They gave their daughter-in-law the velvet antler slices that their nephew had given them before. After eating, the effect was really good. When they came this time, Wang Jialiang and Meng Yanmei actually discussed privately with their nephew to buy some.
After all, there are two different things between the nephew giving it and them taking the initiative, but they didn’t expect the nephew’s wife to take the initiative to get the deer antler slices for their daughter-in-law.
This matter was a trivial matter to Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin, and they didn't take it to heart at all.
Cheng Xiaolin asked her younger siblings: "Hongxia, what time did you come here? Why didn't you call to say anything?"
After hearing Long Hongxia say that they arrived at Caojiazhuang just after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and knowing that her cousin and cousin-in-law had returned to her parents' home, Wang Yuelan originally thought of calling her to let her know, but they refused to do so.
In case my cousin and sister-in-law don't come back tonight, this phone call will be like urging them to come back, which is not good.
After waiting for Mengmeng and Cao Yirui to run in, Wang Jialiang took out the red envelopes he had prepared and gave them one each.
Look at the thickness of the red envelope, it’s really quite a lot.
What is surprising is that as soon as Cao Yirui received the red envelope, he handed it to his sister in front of everyone and shouted: "Sister, I want a big truck."
This scene of operation stunned everyone.
When they still didn't understand what was going on, Cheng Xiaolin told the story. They heard that Mengmeng abducted her younger brother's red envelope and promised to buy him toys as interest. The adults all laughed.
Adults usually don't care about this. They think that children are very playful and have no concept of money, so it is normal to do this.
But Cao Shujie didn't see it that way. He realized that he might have underestimated his son.
This kid will only turn two years old in a few months. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have so many thoughts, but Cao Shujie observed carefully and found that he really has a lot of thoughts.
Not to mention other things, he always gave red envelopes to his sister in front of everyone, and he also knew that he would ask for toys every time he gave them.
These actions of his may have been subconscious, but they fit into some strategies and put his sister in a dilemma.
When he had time, Cao Shujie returned to his wife and said, "Wife, have you noticed that Ruirui has a lot of evil intentions?"
"What's wrong?" Cheng Xiaolin was thinking about going to the kitchen to serve food when she suddenly heard her husband say this and became curious.
After Cao Shujie told his wife what he had just guessed, Cheng Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief: "Isn't this a good thing? At least he is not a big fool. When he grows up, he will not be coaxed by some girl to give away our family property."
It was sent out."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Xiaolin didn't talk any more and went to help in the kitchen.
Cao Shujie stood there and thought for a while, feeling that what his wife said made sense.
Cao Shujie also took out white wine, red wine, and fruit wine, and asked his uncle and cousin to drink some more in the evening.
But his cousin wanted to drive, which was a really strong reason. Considering that his younger brother and sister were pregnant, Cao Shujie didn't dare to take the risk and asked him to drink juice to accompany him.
The uncle also asked about several renovation projects in their village and when the park would open.
The roller coaster in the park has already been erected. When passing by on the west road, you can easily see the track of the roller coaster, which is as high as a dozen stories.
This made many people in Caojiazhuang happy but also worried. They were wondering if people could really survive if they rushed down from such a high place.
It was as high as a dozen floors, so it would be impossible to survive if you fell.
Some people also say that when the roller coaster is driven, the fastest speed can reach 80 or 90 miles, which is the speed of a car.
The wind was blowing from the front and there was no protection. It was scary just thinking about it.
But there are also some children who are not afraid and are looking forward to playing on the roller coaster after it is built.
For them, this thing is exciting, and the more exciting, the better.
Otherwise they wouldn't be willing to ride the roller coaster.
"Uncle, the park cannot open until mid-March, it won't be early." Cao Shujie said.
Whether it's a roller coaster or a barren mountain renovation, we've been in a hurry a few years ago.
Work will be suspended during the Spring Festival, but will resume after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone is trying to meet the deadline as early as possible.
We will strive to ensure that parks and orchards can open normally before mid-March.
After Wang Jialiang heard what his nephew said, he knew better.
He also subconsciously asked: "Shujie, when you open the park on both sides, how many people will come to play?"
"It's hard to say. After all, it has been more than three months since the park was closed in October last year. Many people may have forgotten about this place..." Cao Shujie was not overly optimistic.
But Wang Jialiang didn't believe it. He said that the reputation of the children's theme park and Mengmeng Orchard had already been established.
Especially during the National Day holiday last year, the combined number of visitors to the children's theme park and Mengmeng Orchard exceeded 1 million in seven days. When this number was revealed at the time, it immediately caused a sensation in the province's tourism industry.
Even Pan Jianglong, director of the Yiling City Culture and Tourism Bureau, did not expect this result. He initially thought that hundreds of thousands of people would be a big deal, but he didn't know that the final result was far beyond imagination.
Of course, some people question the authenticity of this number, but the on-site photos taken through aerial photography can let people see what it means to be crowded.
Cao Shujie, on the other hand, was open-minded and asked his uncle if he would be interested in setting up a stall after the park opened.
After Wang Jialiang heard it, he was indeed very moved.
He had thought about it before, with so many people selling something, he couldn't make money, but unfortunately he was afraid of causing trouble to his nephew, so he didn't even mention it.
Now that his nephew had brought it up, Wang Jialiang hesitated for a while and then asked, "Isn't it going to cause you any trouble?"
"Uncle, these two places belong to me, I have the final say." Cao Shujie said with a smile. ()
