"Mom, why did you bring these things here again? When I made the video call with you, didn't I tell you that we bought a complete set of new ones for you? You don't need to move those things back and forth. It's not time-consuming enough."
Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Besides, there aren't that many places to put things upstairs."
But Li Xiaojuan disagreed: "We can just put it away ourselves, there aren't many things."
In her words, there are many things that are used for a long time and have feelings for them, and they are reluctant to throw them away.
Cheng Xiaolin wanted to say a few more words, but Cao Shujie tugged on her clothes, so Cheng Xiaolin said nothing else.
Cao Shujie has already started helping his father-in-law and mother-in-law move things.
Considering that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are relatively old and it is inconvenient to go upstairs, I bought the first floor for them.
It has an independent sewer pipe, so you don't have to worry about odor and water problems, but it's a pity that there is no small yard.
However, when my father-in-law and mother-in-law go out to set up a stall, it is convenient to go up and downstairs to get things.
Seeing her son-in-law helping, Li Xiaojuan quickly asked her husband to go to work.
Before Cheng Rengui got started, the two young men who drove to pick them up also started working.
Both of them are security guards in the factory. Seeing that the boss is doing the work himself, what else can they do to be pretentious?
After finishing the work, it was already past lunch time. Cao Shujie originally wanted to treat the two helping brothers to a meal, but they refused to do anything.
I was embarrassed at first.
Secondly, they didn't dare to go when the boss invited him to invite guests, and they wouldn't even be able to enjoy the meal.
In the end, there was nothing they could do. Cao Shujie gave them 1,000 yuan and asked them to use the money to have a nice meal.
The worst he could do was give 500 yuan to each person, and he didn't care what they did.
After sending the two of them away, Cao Shujie said to his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Let's go back to Caojiazhuang. My parents have cooked a meal at home and are waiting for you two."
Cheng Xiaolin also said: "Mom, my father-in-law and mother-in-law got up early to stew meat, stew ribs, and were busy cooking."
"Oh, you still make your in-laws and mother-in-law so busy." Li Xiaojuan looked a little embarrassed, and Cheng Rengui was also a little reserved.
Do they think this is too much trouble?
But now that they have come, they are taking things as they come, thinking that they will have more opportunities to interact with their father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future, and it would be good to have more contact with each other.
Lock the door, take your things, follow your daughter and son-in-law in the car and drive towards Caojiazhuang.
On the way, Li Xiaojuan also wanted her son-in-law to stop the car. They wanted to buy some gifts, but Cao Shujie refused.
"Mom, we have everything at home, no need to buy anything," Cao Shujie said.
He also said to the two old people: "You don't have to rush to the town this time when you go to Caojiazhuang. You can stay in Caojiazhuang for two more days. By the way, you can also get familiar with the situation in Caojiazhuang and prepare for setting up a stall later."
Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan were a little hesitant about their son-in-law's statement. They felt that this would not cause trouble to their son-in-law.
But Cheng Xiaolin said to them: "Dad, Mom, I'm not busy these two days. I just want to take you around the orchard and park. You can see where it is suitable to set up a stall."
Even the daughter said this, and the old couple didn't say anything else.
I drove to the door of my house and as soon as I parked the car, Cao Jianguo, who was setting up a stall, immediately came over to greet me.
When he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law getting out of the car, he directly reached out and held his father-in-law's hand: "I've been looking forward to seeing you two. Go home and have a rest quickly. We'll have dinner soon."
Cheng Rengui saw that his father-in-law didn't even care about the stall, so he pointed at the stall and reminded him: "Brother, the stall."
"It's okay, I've always had this habit. They take things by themselves and scan my QR code, so they won't lose much." Cao Jianguo said.
To say that nothing is lost is impossible. There are always people with a lower limit.
However, Cao Jianguo checked the surveillance and found that the loss ratio was not large, or even negligible.
Wang Yuelan was busy cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the noise outside, she also knew that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were coming. She checked that there was nothing wrong with the pot and hurriedly came out to say hello.
It was quite lively again, and finally they went to sit down in the house, and Cheng Xiaolin went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law cook.
In fact, there was almost enough to do at this time, and the rest was not complicated. It was finished in a short time, and Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin helped to serve the dishes.
Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo greeted their father-in-law and mother-in-law to eat first. At this time, Li Xiaojuan discovered that her granddaughter and grandson were not at home. When she asked, she found out that school had not ended yet.
"Oh, then who will pick them up?" Li Xiaojuan asked.
Then I heard my son-in-law say that there was a professional person to take them back.
After all, one goes to school in the town and the other goes to school in the county, so the two sides are a bit far apart.
Cao Shujie has long arranged for Wu Shangying and Wang Yueqiang, or others to pick them up.
Regarding the son-in-law's arrangement, the old couple could only say yes, but they couldn't say anything else.
However, the two children came back quickly. They had just started drinking. Not long after, Mengmeng and Cao Yirui came back one after another. When they saw their grandma and grandpa coming, the siblings even came up to greet them warmly.
After hearing that his grandma and grandpa said that they had moved to Qingshi Town and would live in the town from now on, Cao Yirui kept asking which community their grandma and grandpa lived in, what building number and unit they were living in?
You must inquire in advance. If it is windy or rainy in the future, we will take a shortcut and not go back to Caojiazhuang.
Not to mention, Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan moved to Qingshi Town. This arrangement is indeed the most beneficial to Cao Yirui. This kid is also good at seizing every opportunity to get in.
Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan, the old couple, naturally welcomed them wholeheartedly.
Due to the quarrel with their son and daughter-in-law, they had not even seen their two grandchildren during this period, and their hearts were already numb. However, when they saw their grandson, they felt very kind to them.
There are always children around, which makes them feel that they are still young and useful.
Cao Jianguo and Cheng Rengui drank two glasses of white wine each. Cheng Rengui didn't drink much, so he couldn't help but say a few words at this time.
The resentment towards his son was deep. When Cao Jianguo heard that he even said this, he had really drunk enough. He also persuaded his father-in-law to drink less, but it didn't work. Cheng Rengui rushed to get the wine.
Pour yourself a bottle of wine.
Over the years of raising cattle, the family's cattle have always been left unattended, and his wife is too busy alone. It has been a long time since he was so unscrupulously drunk as he is now.
In the past, I was worried about the family's livestock, but this time I finally no longer had this worry. For Cheng Rengui, this was a good thing.
After Li Xiaojuan and Wang Yuelan finished eating, they ignored them and went to chat aside. Cao Shujie accompanied his father and father-in-law at the wine table.
…
On the morning of the second day, Cheng Rengui still had a headache when he woke up, which was a sign of excessive drinking.
Li Xiaojuan thought about him a lot, and said that he should not be so embarrassed when drinking outside in the future. He had no clue at all. She also said that he was embarrassed in front of his in-laws and didn't know how capable he was.
Cao Jianguo didn't care, he thought it would be fine if he drank too much.
I still talk a lot while drinking, just because I usually can't find anyone to talk to. After drinking, I feel more relaxed, and all the suppressed pain in my heart pours out.
Cao Jianguo thinks this is good for people.
After breakfast, Cao Shujie took his son to the school in the town first, while Wu Shangying sent Mengmeng to the county.
Cheng Xiaolin took her parents around Caojiazhuang Mengmeng Orchard and Children's Theme Park.
Then go for a walk around the developed mountains in the south.
Look at the people setting up stalls in Caojiazhuang and what they sell.
Li Xiaojuan had been to Caojiazhuang in the past, more than once.
But except for the year when his daughter got married, Cheng Rengui never came once.
Because of the distance, their in-laws rarely move around, so Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin travel in the middle, acting as a connection.
This time, they came together.
"That orchard was built when we just came back from Beijing in 2011. At that time, my father-in-law and mother-in-law gave us all the seven acres of orchard on their mountain. Later, Shujie put in the medicine he developed, which made the fruit trees grow stronger.
Well, it’s the nutrient solution you see on TV, and it’s been selling like crazy in recent years.”
"Later Shujie felt that the seven acres of orchard was too little, so we took out a loan to cover the entire mountain. There are more than 200 acres in total, 100 acres of which are used to plant kiwi fruit trees and apple trees."
"By the way, there are 20 acres of strawberries planted on the mountain. The kiwis and strawberries are gone now, but the apples will be ripe next month. When the kiwis and strawberries are ripe next year, you can also go up and pick some. Pick them now.
It tastes different from picking it and keeping it for a few days."
Cheng Xiaolin took her parents to the orchard on the mountain and saw a herd of sika deer and a herd of cows in the orchard.
Even Li Xiaojuan doesn't know these things, but she has seen them on camera when she usually makes videos with her daughter or watches her daughter's live broadcast. In reality, this is the first time she has come to see them.
This was the first time Cheng Rengui saw it. When he saw the size of the cattle farm and then the size of the deer park, he couldn't find any appropriate words to describe his mood.
He just felt that his son-in-law raised so many cows and sika deer.
"Are the velvet antler pieces you usually give us cut from these sika deer?" Cheng Rengui asked.
Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "Yes, they are cut from these sika deers. The best ones are the first two-bar antler slices, which are just a little bit on the tip. They feel like they can melt when held in the mouth, but that amount is not enough."
Very rarely, people usually come to Shujie to buy it through connections. The market price can be close to 100,000 yuan per catty, but there is a price but no market. Shujie will not sell it at all. Unless he has a particularly good relationship, Shujie will.
Give them a little, just a few pieces, or a dozen pieces."
At this time, Cheng Rengui suddenly remembered that his daughter and son-in-law had given them boxes of deer antler slices at home. Many of the boxes contained the kind of deer antler slices that the daughter said could be melted in the mouth.
Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan had never thought about the value of this thing before.
They had never asked about it. They saw that their daughter and son-in-law would give some as gifts every year. Especially the year when Li Xiaojuan broke her hand, her son-in-law gave a lot. At that time, they all thought that this thing was not that outrageous even if it was expensive, but just now
Hearing from his daughter, this thing can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan per kilogram. At this time, Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui were dumbfounded.
When had they ever eaten something so expensive?
The old couple never thought that they would be able to eat food worth 100,000 yuan per pound in their lives.
Especially when they thought about some of the velvet antler slices that they were reluctant to eat and had been saved by them to give to their son and daughter-in-law, and when they thought about what those two bastards did to him, at this moment, the old couple only felt regret.
