Chapter 1218. After all, I took advantage of my brother (50009000) to make up for yesterday.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes at him.
"Sleep!" she said.
Cao Shujie really wanted to sleep. He drank quite a lot of liquor tonight.
Unknowingly, Cao Shujie fell asleep.
One night passed. Cao Shujie got up the next morning. When he came downstairs, he happened to see his mother cooking in the kitchen. Tong Jiayi also got up and was chatting with his mother.
Seeing Cao Shujie coming, Tong Jiayi subconsciously called the boss.
But just after shouting, Wang Yuelan, who was cooking, said: "Xiao Tong, why do you call me boss? This is at home, not in the company. You can just call him brother."
"..."
Tong Jiayi was a little uncomfortable, so Wang Yuelan said: "Listen to me, if your brother dares to cause trouble with you, I will deal with him."
Cao Shujie: "..."
He was also speechless, thinking that I had just come downstairs and hadn't said a word. I had offended someone and I was going to deal with me as soon as we met.
I can't live this day.
"Mom, I'm going to walk the dog and I'll be back in a while. You just need to eat first." After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he said hello to Tong Jiayi and led his four dogs out.
Daha and Erha are in their 7th year with me, which is equivalent to about 40 years old for humans. According to the normal growth cycle, they will basically be equivalent to humans entering old age in another year.
Dahei and Xiaohei are almost 7 years old, but compared with Daha, they look stronger.
Looking at the four brothers, Cao Shujie also felt a little sad. He always felt that time passed too fast, and everything seemed to be still when he just came back from the capital.
Arriving at the dam, Cao Shujie untied the four brothers' dog leashes and let them run on their own.
Seeing them stretching their strong bodies and rhythmic muscles while running in the sun, Cao Shujie was also happy for them.
As for what will happen in the future, Cao Shujie doesn't think about it. If he can, he will try his best to let them eat better and provide them with timely nutrition so that the four brothers can live longer.
As time went by, Cao Shujie gradually became accustomed to their barking and howling when he came home or went out.
Not long after, Dahei came back and circled around Cao Shujie.
Cao Shujie waved to it, and Dahei rubbed Cao Shujie's body and sat down, one man and one dog leaning against each other, looking particularly harmonious under the rising sun.
"Dahei, are you getting old soon?" Cao Shujie asked it.
Dahei: "Woof!"
Cao Shujie seemed to understand what it was saying, and then said: "Dahei, you will not regret following me these past few years."
"Woof, woof woof."
"You don't regret it, do you? That's great. I knew you were very discerning." Cao Shujie chatted with it.
After a while, Xiaohei, Daha, and Erha also ran back.
Sit down around Cao Shujie and guard Cao Shujie in the middle.
At this time, Cao Shujie was immersed in chatting with the four dogs. Unknowingly, time passed quickly and he forgot to go home for dinner.
It was Tong Jiayi who came up to call him.
"Boss." When he saw Cao Shujie, Tong Jiayi subconsciously called him boss.
But just after he finished shouting, Cao Shujie took the initiative to interrupt him: "What do you call boss? Didn't my mother just say that if you are not in the company from now on, just call me brother."
Tong Jiayi was a little excited when he heard Cao Shujie say this. This was recognition.
Cao Shujie pointed to the side and said to Tong Jiayi: "Sit down, let's talk for a while."
"Hey!" After hearing what Cao Shujie said, Tong Jiayi quickly sat down.
Tong Jiayi was still thinking about what to say. He was immersed in the joy of being recognized by Cao Shujie, but he heard Cao Shujie ask him: "Jiayi, have you thought about getting married?"
"Old... brother, I've thought about it, don't worry, I will be good to Fangfang." Tong Jiayi habitually called the boss, but stopped abruptly as soon as he started speaking, and said: "I will definitely be good to her.
"
Cao Shujie turned to look at him for more than ten seconds, which made Tong Jiayi's scalp numb and the atmosphere seemed particularly tense.
At this time, Cao Shujie couldn't help but think of his sister's unfortunate marriage in her previous life, but he couldn't help much at that time and always felt very sorry.
After a while, even Tong Jiayi felt that the atmosphere was too depressing. When he was about to say something to break the dull atmosphere, Cao Shujie asked him: "You will be good to Fangfang, right?"
"Yes!" Tong Jiayi said firmly.
Cao Shujie stroked Dahei's hair with one hand and said softly: "Jiayi, I am just a sister. When we were young, we used to fight, but... I could only beat her."
"If you get married, you are not allowed to hit her, understand?" Cao Shujie seemed a bit domineering.
Tong Jiayi nodded repeatedly, promising that he would never do anything.
Cao Shujie didn't look at him at this moment. He kept looking eastward, where was the rolling Yellow River.
From the dam, you can see the rolling Yellow River water like mud soup. He said: "I am not trying to scare people. You also know that I am a ruthless person who even scares me. If I hear something bad,
Feng Sheng, I really don’t guarantee that anything will happen.”
Tong Jiayi raised his hand and wiped his smooth forehead, thinking that after all, you are still giving me an 'ultimatum'.
But he also understood what Cao Shujie meant, and he could also feel that Cao Shujie was not joking at this moment.
But Tong Jiayi did not complain about his thoughts.
He thinks this is normal.
Cao Shujie's cell phone rang, and he saw it was his mother calling. After Cao Shujie answered the call, he heard his mother's voice coming from the cell phone: "Shujie, Chiayi is looking for you, why haven't you two come back?
"
"Mom, let's chat on the dam for a while, and then we'll go home." Cao Shujie told her.
Wang Yuelan urged them again: "Hurry up and come back for dinner. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it after dinner."
"Okay!" Cao Shujie agreed.
Putting away his mobile phone, Cao Shujie tied the leashes on the four dogs, and then said to Tong Jiayi: "Let's go back to eat first."
The two stood up and walked home.
After a while, they arrived at the bottom of the dam. Cao Shujie suddenly said: "Chiayi, ask your parents when they have time to come to Caojiazhuang to play."
"Also, let's see what you are missing for your wedding. If you are missing something, tell me and I will prepare it for you." Cao Shujie said.
"There is no shortage, there is everything." Tong Jiayi said.
"Since you call me brother, don't be too polite to me. Just this time, even if I wrong you, I can't wrong my sister." Cao Shujie said.
He was very unethical, and even made some strong words that made people laugh or laugh, but Tong Jiayi could understand what he meant.
Tong Jiayi nodded, but he didn't say anything else.
…
After the Lantern Festival, everything returned to normal.
Cao Shujie also goes to the company more often than before.
After the time entered March, the issue of import and export trade became more and more tense. Various bad news came frequently from the other side of the ocean. Old Te Te was not a thing. At this time, ordinary people could smell the smoke of gunpowder.
Many factories have begun to suffer, and the hardest hit are ordinary migrant workers.
It can be seen from the news from various places that the situation is not very good, but it can be tolerated.
However, the Xuemeng Food Factory is much better, and there is no disharmony happening now.
However, as the income of people in other areas decreases or their income becomes unstable, their willingness to buy snacks also decreases. This can be clearly seen from the shipment volume.
Cao Shuju compared the shipment volume between the start of work after the Spring Festival and March with the shipment volume before the Spring Festival, as well as the shipment data during the same period in previous years, and finally compiled a report and presented it to Cao Shujie. The data in the report were very comparable.
In detail, it is obvious from the data that the shipment volume before and after the Spring Festival this year has dropped significantly year-on-year.
After reading it, Cao Shujie didn't say anything else, but asked Cao Shuju to continue tracking the shipping data.
At the same time, Cao Shujie called Guan Boyong over and asked him to pay attention to market trends.
Guan Boyong told Cao Shujie the planned orders at the beginning of the year. In his words, the business volume has indeed shown signs of decreasing in the past few days, but it is still acceptable.
In addition, the Spring Festival has just passed. During the Spring Festival, I ate a lot of good things. During the Spring Festival, I visited relatives and friends, and all the gifts that should be given were given out. It is normal for people not to buy snacks at this time.
Cao Shujie nodded and asked him to continue paying attention to this piece of information.
…
It's just that except for the managers of various departments, ordinary employees in Xuemeng Food Factory are not aware of the changes in the market.
A few employees in the warehouse delivery department felt this, but they thought there weren't many deliveries around the Spring Festival in previous years, so they didn't care.
Production volume has not declined, and market procurement continues to purchase raw materials in large quantities.
After returning from the factory, Cao Shujie seemed to be fine, and he did not tell his family about anything unusual in the market.
Instead, the people in Caojiazhuang began to prepare, thinking that the Mengmeng Orchard and Children's Theme Park would open in more than 10 days.
Many people who planned to set up stalls or set up stalls at the foot of the mountain began to purchase goods.
Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and others even came here specifically to find Cao Shujie and talk to him about this matter.
Cao Shujie didn't say much, and told them that the park would open on March 15th just as in previous years.
After receiving the exact answer, Cao Jianlong and Liu Guoqiang happily prepared to go have a drink, and asked Cao Shujie if he had time to go have a drink together.
"I'm busy. My sister is getting engaged soon. You go ahead." Cao Shujie told them.
The two of them had no intention of drinking after hearing this, but instead asked when they would have a wedding banquet.
Cao Huifang has little influence in Caojiazhuang, but her brother Cao Shujie is a very influential figure here.
As the saying goes, if you don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, they are still thinking about coming over to give you the gift.
Cao Shujie knew what they were thinking, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's make an agreement first. When my sister gets married, you guys will come over to have a drink. If anyone gives money as a gift, don't blame me for kicking him out."
"Secretary Cao, this is the wish of the folks, I can't control this," Cao Jianlong said.
"Okay, I won't hold it at home, and I won't call you when the time comes." Cao Shujie thought that he still can't cure you.
He really had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, and Cao Shujie was not short of this little money. He mainly wanted to get together and be happy.
Cao Jianlong and the others also knew what Cao Shujie was thinking, and finally said to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, we won't give you the money. As elders, can I buy something for Fangfang?"
"First of all, let's make sure we don't buy anything too expensive," Cao Shujie said.
"I will reimburse you for everything over 1,000 yuan," Cao Shujie said.
If this threshold were not set, Cao Shujie couldn't imagine what tricks they would play.
Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and others did not say any more.
A gift of 1,000 yuan is not too much for most people, but it is not much for Cao Jianlong and others. In addition, Cao Shujie has made them rich over the years. The Agricultural Planting Cooperative and Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative give every household in the village a gift every year.
The dividends for each household, no matter how small, are more than hundreds of thousands. If the hole is not blocked at this time, Cao Shujie cannot imagine how enthusiastic those people will be!
"Uncle Long, Uncle Qiang, come and sit down at home." Cao Shujie invited them.
The two of them followed Cao Shujie and walked home together.
…
On the other side, Tong Jiayi called his parents and asked them to come over and meet Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo. The parents of both parties sat down to chat and discuss an engagement date.
On the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, he and Cao Shujie unexpectedly had a harmonious conversation. Hearing Cao Shujie ask him to call him brother, Tong Jiayi felt for the first time that he was recognized by Cao Shujie regarding his marriage to Cao Huifang. He was calling Cao Shujie 'brother'
At that time, I was no longer so cautious.
At this time, Tong Jiayi definitely wants to strike while the iron is hot and settle his marriage with Cao Huifang as soon as possible. It would definitely be better to get married this year.
After all, he is 31 this year and Cao Huifang is 28 this year. They are not young.
Moreover, in so many years, Tong Jiayi fell in love for the first time and had a strong urge to get married for the first time.
Although his wealth is not as good as that of Cao Shujie, he can also make money. From these aspects, Tong Jiayi doesn't think he is much worse than anyone else.
He also has enough confidence to live a successful married life.
After his parents found someone to look at the date, Tong Jiayi conveyed the promising date to Cao Huifang, and also went to Cao Shujie's office in person to tell him face to face.
Cao Shujie didn't care much about this, he just had to make a deal with Tong Jiayi.
The twenty-third of the first lunar month, March 10, 2018, was the day Tong Jiayi told Cao Shujie, and it was also the day Tong Jiayi’s parents went to visit.
Cao Shujie calculated that there were only 5 days left before this day. He was a little nervous, but meeting did not mean a direct engagement. He felt that there was still enough time to prepare.
Cao Shujie thought about where to eat, and decided to place it at the Fuxing Hotel in the town. In addition to their family, there was also his uncle Cao Jianlin.
In addition, considering that the other party was definitely not just his parents, but maybe also relatives at home, Cao Shujie told Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang, and Cao Shuchao to let them come over to help with the wine.
As for his eldest brother and second brother who were far away in Anyi City, Cao Shujie didn't say anything for the time being. He thought it would not be too late to wait until his sister got married.
In the past few days, Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo, the old couple, have been busy packing their things and preparing to meet their in-laws.
Cao Huifang has not been making videos these days, and she has also returned from Yiling City.
Her love affair with Tong Jiayi and their marriage at this point seemed more like a natural progression, without much romance. The two had similar views and had a good eye for each other, so it was settled.
A few days flew by, and on the morning of March 10th, Cao Shujie drove to his uncle's place and picked him up.
Father Cao Jianguo had already told Big Brother in advance about his meeting with Tong Jiayi's parents today.
In the car, Cao Jianlin asked his nephew if the man's parents were here.
"Chiayi just told me that his parents are on the way and they will be there in about an hour." Cao Shujie told his uncle.
The other party came from Hejian and was able to arrive before 9 o'clock, which also shows that the other party was really attentive and set off around 4 o'clock in the morning.
In this regard, Cao Shujie didn't say anything else. We were all for each other, and there was no point in being harsh.
After Cao Shujie picked up his uncle, Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao also came over.
Cao Shujie’s home was very festive.
Cao Huifang was a little embarrassed to meet people now.
Cheng Xiaolin was busy back and forth, and also went to chat with her sister-in-law for a while, telling her that Tong Jiayi and his family would be arriving soon.
Falling in love and getting married seems to be every girl's inner wish. They want to find someone who has the same three views. Cao Huifang thinks she is lucky.
This luck is not simply because she met Tong Jiayi, but more because her elder brother created various conditions for her, and her sister-in-law taught her many skills to make a living.
Without the help of her elder brothers and sisters-in-law, Cao Huifang feels that she might still be the very ordinary person she was before, and she would not have any changes in terms of values, personal values, vision, etc. She might find a job in a company after graduation, and she would not be like her
At that time, a man boldly drove to the deep city to explore.
Without the confidence given by her brother, how could she have the courage.
Based on her previous thoughts and values, even if she met Tong Jiayi, she felt that there would be no resonance between the two and they would not be able to talk together.
Even later, if she hadn't learned video editing from her sister-in-law, learned how to make short videos to attract more people, and be able to monetize traffic through the large platform of the Internet, she would not have earned tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands a month.
If it was tens of thousands, it would be hard for her to imagine that she would have the same ideas about money, consumption views, and vision as a person with an annual salary of one million.
After all, I was in the favor of my eldest brother and sister-in-law.
At this time, Cao Huifang was very grateful to her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Just when she was thinking of saying thank you to her sister-in-law, a whistle suddenly sounded outside the door.
As if she realized what was going on, Cheng Xiaolin said to her: "I think it's Chiayi and the others who are coming. I'll go out to receive them first. You sit here for a while."
Cao Huifang responded, raised her ears, and listened to the noise coming from outside. She also felt a little hopeful in her heart. (End of Chapter)
