With his father's skill, Cao Shujie could open more shots every minute, but he was afraid that when his father kicked him in the air, he would dodge and fall to the ground, so he didn't hide!
Cao Jianguo didn't really want to kick his son, so he finally took his legs back and almost fell to the ground.
After the two men finished working on the mountain, Cao Jianguo pointed to the weeds in the orchard and said, "Shujie, you still need to find someone to cut the grass. Otherwise, you can buy a small lawn mower like that and I will come here to cut part of it every day."
Once the grass grows, it is full of vitality. Thanks to the grass, Cao Shujie can save a lot of feed costs in feeding calves.
"Then buy one, Dad, do you know where I can buy one?" Cao Shujie asked his father.
As expected, Cao Jianguo really knew. He said to Cao Shujie: "When you have time, go to town. There is a shop selling agricultural machinery on the back street. Just go there and ask."
"Okay, I'll ask as soon as possible." Cao Shujie agreed.
After returning home from the orchard and eating, Cao Shujie began to load things in the car and would go to his father-in-law's house later.
The wine, clothes and gift boxes bought in the department store yesterday were all packed, the toys and clothes bought for the children, and the remaining kiwi fruits at home were packed into two boxes.
Just as she was about to leave, Wang Yuelan brought over another bag of mutton: "Linlin, I packed the remaining mutton in the refrigerator into bags. You can take it and let your parents make some dumplings for the holidays."
When Cheng Xiaolin heard this, she waved her hand: "Mom, I sent some over last time. Let's just keep these and eat them slowly."
Wang Yuelan didn't listen. She opened the passenger door, put the bag of mutton in front of the passenger door, and said, "What else are you leaving? Take it. It's not like you don't have any at home, so you don't have to spend money to buy it."
Mengmeng lay on her mother's lap and waved her little hand to her grandma Wang Yuelan: "Goodbye grandma."
"Goodbye Mengmeng, you must listen to your father and mother, you know?" Wang Yuelan said.
Mengmeng nodded with a smile: "Grandma, I'm very obedient, okay!"
Wang Yuelan watched the car drive away, then turned around and went home to prepare things for tomorrow's festival.
If this matter had been put aside before, she would have to look outside for a while. Even if she couldn't see the car, she would imagine that the car was right in front of her, and the people in the car were around her, and her heart was full of reluctance.
But this problem no longer exists. Her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter are all around her. She whispered: "They will come back tomorrow."
…
Cao Shujie did not drive directly to Chengjiapo, Dayao Town, Anwu County, but first went to the store selling agricultural machinery in the back street of Qingshi Town.
There is indeed a small lawn mower like his father mentioned, and it is not expensive, but it is hand-held, very laborious to use, and not easy to master. Cao Shujie wants someone to sit on it and be able to drive and operate it.
After he told the owner of the store his request, the owner Zhao Wenyang immediately offered to help him contact him to transfer the goods. From the communication, he understood what Cao Shujie wanted. The imported price of this kind of machinery and equipment was higher.
, but the domestic ones are not expensive and the quality is very good. Each one costs 10,000 yuan. Cao Shujie didn’t look for anyone else. He took Boss Zhao’s business card, left his contact information, and drove towards Chengjiapo.
.
More than an hour later, they arrived at Chengjiapo. As soon as Cao Shujie stopped the car in front of his mother-in-law's house, his brother-in-law Cheng Yunping opened the door and ran over.
Cheng Yunping ran to the driver's seat and helped open the door. He shouted in surprise: "Brother-in-law."
Looking at his affectionate attitude, some people who didn't know it thought they were brothers.
Cheng Yunping is 25 years old this year. He entered society early after leaving school and got married relatively early. He is two years younger than Cao Shujie and his wife, but his son Cheng Tiandong is one year older than Mengmeng.
"Yunping, you're blind. You didn't see all the things I have. Come here and get some for me." Cheng Xiaolin shouted, speaking without restraint.
Without saying a word, Cheng Yunping obediently ran to the back, opened the back door, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Sister, I miss you so much."
"Do you miss me or want me to die? Why didn't I see it?" Cheng Xiaolin said rudely when she saw her brother, but she was very happy in her heart.
Looking carefully at her brother's face, Cheng Xiaolin asked him: "Yunping, why is your face so tanned?"
"Sister, I run outside every day and am always basked in the sun. Do you think it can stop getting dark?" Cheng Yunping was quite open-minded. When he saw his niece's cuteness, he smiled and reached out to hug her.
But Mengmeng had long forgotten who this 'uncle' was. When she saw this dark-faced man, she was stunned. When she realized what she was doing, she saw him trying to hug her and was so frightened that she burst into tears.
Cheng Yunping was very embarrassed. He scratched his scalp in embarrassment and coaxed Mengmeng at a loss: "Mengmeng, don't cry, I won't hug you anymore."
"Yunping, she is just doing something evil. You don't have to worry about her. She will be fine in a while. You can help your brother-in-law move things first." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Okay!" Cheng Yunping quickly went to help his brother-in-law.
Cao Shujie opened the trunk and asked his brother-in-law: "Brother, when did you come back? Are you leaving after the festival?"
Cheng Yunping smiled innocently: "Brother-in-law, Yingying and I will leave tomorrow."
"Isn't tomorrow the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Cao Shujie asked subconsciously.
Cheng Yunping nodded, but he still said with a smile: "The factory will open the day after tomorrow and work for others. That's it. There is no way."
"That's right, you have to follow the arrangements to take care of others' jobs." Cao Shujie remembered that he was like this before, but now he has completely given up his previous life rhythm and started a new life.
As he spoke, he took out the wine, clothes, various snacks, gift boxes, and fruits from the trunk one by one and placed them on the ground.
Cheng Yunping saw the wine box and subconsciously bent down to move it. When he saw the three words above, he was stunned: "Wuliangye?"
He then asked: "Brother-in-law, is this true or false?"
"Get out!" Before Cao Shujie could speak, Cheng Xiaolin scolded him first.
"Yunping, if you don't know how to speak, just shut up. If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth into pieces."
Cheng Yunping was so frightened that he almost threw the wine box out.
I quickly piled two gift boxes on the wine box and carried them home.
Cao Shujie couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw his brother-in-law in such a frightened state.
"Honey, why are you scaring him?" Cao Shujie said.
But Cheng Xiaolin hates that iron is not made of steel: "Don't protect him. You see, he is already a father. The child is 3 years old. Talking and doing things with him doesn't look like an adult."
This is interesting. Cao Shujie asked his wife: "What do you think is an adult?"
Cheng Xiaolin was left speechless by the question.
She simply felt that her brother and his wife had left their children at home and had such an unsatisfactory life, and she felt angry.
"How about just taking the child with you and not caring about the birth? What does that mean?"
Cao Shujie looked at his wife's appearance before the powder keg exploded and said to her: "Let's just talk about it here. Don't mention it later."
"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Do you know what's going on with them now? Maybe they will get along well and take Dongdong with them." Cao Shujie said.
In his previous life, his brother-in-law was indeed a bit crooked, but he had an epiphany-like thought after experiencing many things. He has not figured out the way yet.
Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband say this and said to him: "As long as what you say is nice, forget it, I don't care what they do, it will make me unhappy."
"Yes, you are right to think so." Cao Shujie held all the things in his hands and walked home together.
Seeing his wife standing still, Cao Shujie said to her again: "Let's go quickly. Why are you lingering? Do you want your parents to come out to pick you up?"
"Bah, that's nonsense." Cheng Xiaolin held Mengmeng's hand and walked home. Before she could go in, her mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan and her sister-in-law Liu Yingying came out together.
"Sister, you're here, we've been waiting for you!" my sister-in-law Liu Yingying said with a smile.
They came back the night before yesterday. When they came back, they heard their mother-in-law talk about their eldest aunt and brother-in-law, and they found out that they had quit their jobs in the capital and were now developing in their hometown.
I also heard from my mother-in-law that my eldest aunt and brother-in-law came over two or three times during this period and gave the children a lot of things.
Especially her husband just brought in a box of Wuliangye. Liu Yingying, who works in a supermarket, knows the price of Wuliangye.
Naturally, I was curious, did my eldest aunt and brother-in-law really make a fortune in their hometown?
Even so, they had no intention of coming back to follow their sister and brother-in-law. Farming and planting orchards were jobs that they would not know how to do even if they were killed.
Several women were chatting together, and the topic was mostly about children.
Cao Shujie carried the remaining things in and saw his father-in-law Cheng Rengui standing in the yard before he entered.
Cheng Rengui, now 49 years old, is actually a very ordinary countryman. He follows the construction team in the town around. He doesn’t have any great skills or skills, but he is very honest and works hard. Wherever he goes,
There are people who are willing to make friends with him.
"Dad!" Cao Shujie greeted.
Cheng Rengui hurried over to greet him: "Shujie, come on if you come. Why are you buying so many things? It's just a waste of money."
"It happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we don't have much money." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
It can be seen that his father-in-law is not easy to work outside. He is not yet 50 years old and has a lot of gray hair on his head.
Cheng Rengui took some things from his hand, and Weng and his son-in-law entered the main room while talking.
Li Xiaojuan started preparing food after receiving a call from her daughter and knowing that her daughter and son-in-law were coming today.
Her son and daughter-in-law will leave tomorrow, but her daughter and son-in-law are here today. In his opinion, this is a family celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance.
During the meal, six adults sat down around a round table. Cao Shujie opened a bottle of Wuliangye and poured a glass of wine for his father-in-law and brother-in-law, while his mother-in-law and the three of them drank.
Even Mengmeng and nephew Dongdong also asked for drinks.
Cheng Rengui was curious about how his son-in-law's orchard was doing. After finishing half a glass of wine, he mentioned it casually.
Before Cao Shujie could speak, Cheng Xiaolin said: "Dad, the kiwis in our orchard have been sold out a long time ago, but there are still some left in the box. You can try them later."
"Is it so popular? There are two kiwi fruit growers in our town. They charge high prices, but they can't sell them now. If you go to the market to sell them yourself, you won't be able to sell them much. If they take a long time, they will go rotten." Cheng Rengui said casually.
The meal lasted from noon to afternoon, and Mengmeng and her cousin Cheng Tiandong were the happiest.
There were new clothes, new toys, and a variety of delicious snacks and drinks. They both had a great time.
…
After lunch, Li Xiaojuan went to wash the dishes and asked his daughter-in-law and daughter to talk nearby.
Cheng Xiaolin also mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that her nephew Cheng Tiandong was going to school.
Speaking of this matter, Liu Yingying was also very worried. After spending time outside for a long time, Liu Yingying actually did not want her son to go to kindergarten in her hometown. She even wanted to get her son out, but she could not take care of him.
I also discussed privately with her mother-in-law to rent a two-bedroom house outside and let her mother-in-law go out with them to take care of the children and take them to and from school. If the mother-in-law really can't stay idle, she can also find some odd jobs, how much?
You can also make some money.
But her mother-in-law was unwilling, saying that she was not used to the outside world and it was better to stay at home.
The discussions failed to reach an agreement, and Liu Yingying was in trouble because she couldn't understand her mother-in-law's work.
If one of them has to go to work and the other takes care of the children, their income will be greatly reduced, which is a very bad thing for them.
When Liu Yingying heard her eldest aunt talking about this, she even wondered if her eldest aunt could help her convince her mother-in-law to follow them out.
Cheng Xiaolin wanted to say that I was also taking care of the children by myself at that time, why can't you?
But thinking about what her husband just said, telling her not to be self-righteous and not to get too involved in her brother's 'family affairs', Cheng Xiaolin finally swallowed these words back.
…
Mengmeng felt bored after playing with her cousin for a while. She felt that her cousin was too stupid to keep up with her ideas, and that playing games was boring.
Seeing her father and uncle chatting together, she ran over and threw herself on her father: "Dad, give me a hug."
While she was talking, Mengmeng lay on her father's body, with her arms and head down, and raised her legs. If she didn't pay attention, she would fall to the ground.
Cao Shujie had no choice but to pick up Mengmeng and sit down on his lap. Listening to his brother-in-law talking about the hardships of working outside, he thought about his previous job and nodded with empathy.
But Mengmeng sincerely refused to let them chat: "Dad, seesaw."
"You're really good!" Cao Shujie stretched out one leg for her to sit on, and when Mengmeng hugged his leg, she shouted loudly: "Dad, I'm fine, hurry up."
"You are so annoying." Cao Shujie said to her.
But Mengmeng didn't care. She played with herself, sitting on her father's lap, letting him lift his leg like a seesaw, and then slowly lower it.
Cao Shujie was exhausted and out of breath soon.
"Mengmeng, come down and rest for a while." Cao Shujie was very tired.
Mengmeng didn't care: "No, dad, please be taller."
Cao Shujie thought to himself: "Why am I so unlucky to end up with a girl like you..."
