Chapter 1325 Extra 12 Princess Cute has grown up (5200)
When the siblings were preparing to return to Cao's Village, Cao Huifang packed a lot of things for them.
Cao Xuemeng didn't want it at first, but her uncle Tong Jiayi was also blocking the car and let them go without loading anything. In the end, the trunk was full.
"Go back quickly and give me a call when you get home." Cao Huifang warned them.
Siblings Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui waved to their aunt and uncle, and finally said to their cousin Tong Changhua: "Changhua, remember to come and play during the Chinese New Year in a few days."
But in his heart, he wished that his cousin and his cousin would go back as soon as possible. In the short time they spent together, Tong Changhua suffered a lot.
Wu Shangying drove his siblings back to Caojiazhuang. The journey went smoothly without any accidents.
However, when we arrived at Caojiazhuang, it was already dark and the street lights in Caojiazhuang had already been lit.
Because it is cold in winter, there are no people playing and chatting on the street. Everyone is keeping warm at home.
Wu Shangying parked his car in front of his home and just turned off the engine. Before he could get out of the car, he heard voices asking questions from inside.
"Who is it? Who is outside?"
"Sister, it's our mother." Cao Yirui heard the voice and knew who it was.
He was a little excited and hurriedly opened the car door and was about to jump out, but then he thought about what to do if his mother asked him about finding a partner later.
Thinking of this, Cao Yirui hurriedly closed the car door as if to escape, thus isolating himself from the outside world.
Cao Yirui was very distressed, but Cao Xuemeng had already gone down the other side.
At this moment, after hearing Wu Shangying's voice, Cheng Xiaolin also came out of the house and stood at the gate. When she saw her daughter Cao Xuemeng who had just gotten off the car, she stood there quietly without saying a word.
.
This move actually frightened Cao Xuemeng so much that he dared not speak.
Cao Yirui, who had locked himself in the car, also came out honestly. He thought his mother was angry, so he stood there and did not dare to say nonsense, but she was not.
In just ten seconds, Cheng Xiaolin walked over quickly, grabbed her son Cao Yirui's hand and looked up and down, then turned around to the other side of the car to see her daughter Cao Xuemeng, and even touched her head with her hand, fearing that
It's like being injured.
Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui felt a little embarrassed when their mother looked at them like this.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Cao Xuemeng asked.
Cao Yirui was always worried that his mother would ask him about finding a partner, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to talk to her.
But before they went in, Cao Shujie came out of the house again.
"Dad." Cao Yirui shouted happily when he saw his father coming out.
When Cao Xuemeng saw her father, she also said hello, but she was a little afraid to look into his eyes.
It seemed like he was worried that he would do poorly and make his father angry.
But Cao Shujie didn't say anything else. Instead, he asked his daughter: "I heard from Uncle Lei that you are not doing well in the capital. Are there people bullying you?"
"Dad, I have solved it long ago." Cao Xuemeng said a little arrogantly.
She didn't want to admit that she was weak in front of her father, so she armed herself to look powerful.
When Cao Shujie heard what his daughter said, he didn't ask any more questions.
When he turned to go home, Cao Shujie stood there again with his back to his daughter and son, and said something inscrutable: "If someone bullies you again next time, just kill him directly, and the other fathers will deal with it for you."
Cao Xuemeng was shocked.
Even Cao Yirui didn't expect his father to say this.
Only Cheng Xiaolin knew that after her husband heard that his daughter Mengmeng was bullied in the capital, he flew into a rage and looked like he was going to kill someone.
Otherwise, Wu Shangying would not have been sent there so quickly, and Wu Shangying would have been asked to take 50 million to give to his daughter as pocket money.
How can Cao Shujie's daughter worry about money?
Cheng Xiaolin also knew that if there was anyone in the family who treasured this eldest daughter the most, it would definitely be her husband.
At this point, even grandparents and grandparents who are close relatives in the next generation are not as good as them.
Regarding this, Cheng Xiaolin was jealous of her daughter, but there was nothing she could do about it, as her husband refused to change his ways.
Even Cheng Xiaolin could see that her husband's affection for his little girl Nuan Nuan was not as good as the intimacy he used to take care of Meng Meng.
"Shujie, come here and get your things."
Cheng Xiaolin opened the trunk and saw that it was full of things. She also saw her husband continuing to stand there pretending to be mysterious and called him loudly.
"Coming."
Cao Shujie stopped pretending this time and hurriedly ran over and started carrying things home.
While taking it back, he said a few words: "We have everything at home, why do you two spend this money?"
At this time, Cao Shujie himself didn't realize that his behavior was very similar to the first half of his stay in the capital. He finally took advantage of the holiday to buy some things and returned from the capital. His parents, Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan, also said the same at the time.
Cao Xuemeng didn't know this. She shouted: "Dad, it's different. My brother and I bought this. What's at home is yours. These are two different things."
"Besides, there are things inside that my aunt asked me to bring back."
When Cao Shujie heard this, he didn't care to recall the past and asked his daughter and son: "Did you two go to Yiling City when you came back?"
"I just happened to be passing by, so I went there. My aunt prepared a large table of food for us, which was very filling for us," Cao Xuemeng said.
Cao Yirui also followed up with praise: "Dad, don't tell me, my aunt's cooking is really delicious."
After hearing this, Cao Shujie snorted: "Isn't the food cooked by your mother delicious?"
"It's delicious, everything is delicious, hehe." Cao Yirui quickly changed his words.
He believes that those who understand current affairs are heroes.
But I'm also thinking in my heart, that's the only bad thing about his father, he always protects his mother no matter what.
Is it necessary for someone who is almost 50 years old to still show affection like this?
Perhaps it was because they had not returned home that their grandfather Cao Jianguo came out again and saw them all chatting at the door. Cao Jianguo also helped his grandson and granddaughter get their things.
A few minutes later, Wang Yuelan perfectly demonstrated the advantage of large numbers of people and brought all the things the siblings had brought home. Wang Yuelan had already heated up the dinner and was waiting for the siblings to eat some.
When the siblings heard that they had eaten at their aunt's house in the city, Wang Yuelan didn't listen and stared blankly at her grandson and granddaughter as they ate some more.
Then he kept asking them how they were doing in the capital.
Especially asking my granddaughter if she has found a suitable partner in the capital.
"Grandma, I'm starting a business right now. I'm so busy that I don't have time to find a partner." Cao Xuemeng said.
"Oh, if you don't have time, don't look for it yet. As long as you are happy, Mengmeng." Wang Yuelan changed her words.
When Cao Yirui heard this topic, all the hairs on his body stood up. He was afraid that grandma would point the gun at him again, so he kept lowering his head and picking rice into his mouth, but he didn't dare to look at grandma.
But what are you afraid of?
Cheng Xiaolin suddenly remembered this incident and asked her son seemingly casually: "Ruirui, I gave you so much money, what did you do in school? Have you found a partner?"
"Mom, you don't know, I have been busy with business." Cao Yirui said quickly.
At the same time, he tilted his head and glared at his sister, trying to get her to deal with him.
It's a pity that Cao Yirui really found the wrong person this time. Cao Xuemeng didn't help at all, and even turned his head to the side, as if he was deliberately avoiding his brother's help.
"Sister!" Cao Yirui became anxious and called her sister in a long voice.
Cao Xuemeng said at the right time: "Mom and Dad, I have been asking my brother to help with the company's affairs in the past few months. He doesn't have time, but I guess if he works hard next year, there is still hope."
Cheng Xiaolin was not easily fooled. Looking at her daughter and son, she asked again: "Is it this year? Or is it 2032?"
Cao Xuemeng couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that his mother was still so cautious.
"You have to ask my brother about this, but I really don't have time to find a partner this year. I have to take advantage of now to set up the Three Musketeers design studio." Cao Xuemeng looked like she had something serious to do. This kind of thing about finding a partner is not important.
Find him.
At this point, neither Cao Shujie nor Cheng Xiaolin would delay their daughter from finding something to do.
The reason why they want her to find a partner while they are young is because they feel that this is the best age in their lives. If they really meet the right person, get married and have children, they can help take care of the children.
In the past, Cao Shujie was most worried about what he would do if his daughter got married one day?
Now, Cao Shujie is eager for their eldest son to get married soon.
Just when I thought of this, I heard the warm voice of the little girl next to me: "Sister, sister"
The little guy called her sister in a long voice, and waddled over with outstretched hands, asking her sister to hug her.
Cao Xuemeng originally thought she would be annoyed when she saw Nuan Nuan, but when she actually saw the little guy walking towards her, her heart was as sweet as honey.
Afraid that Nuannuan would fall, he quickly knelt down and picked up his sister, kissing her little face a few times.
The whole family had a great time that night when they first came back.
On the second day, while Cao Xuemeng was still asleep, her mother took off the quilt.
"Mom..." Cao Xuemeng was in a terrible mood. She never expected that on the first morning after returning to Caojiazhuang, she originally wanted to sleep in, but her mother would interrupt her sweet dream.
At this moment, Cao Xuemeng was going crazy, but seeing that her mother was unmoved, she was helpless.
Finally, I reluctantly climbed out of bed. After having breakfast at home, I picked up my things and prepared to leave for my grandma's house in the town.
But Cheng Xiaolin went to drag her son up again, and the two siblings went to town together.
He also said that they usually don’t come back, but when they finally came back, they wanted to see the old man no matter what.
Speaking of which, Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan are over 70 years old this year. If you look closely, you will find that their temples are gray, and you can really see the traces of time left on their bodies.
If you look closely, you will find that their eyes are no longer as sharp as when they were young, and even look a little cloudy.
His actions are no longer as nimble as when he was young.
Old!
However, because of the good living standard at home, they have also enjoyed benefits that other people of the same age have not enjoyed in recent years. They take a lot of supplements with their son and daughter-in-law, which also makes them look younger than their peers.
When they came out of the house and prepared to go to town, Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui felt that their home was surprisingly quiet.
I always feel like there is something missing.
Subconsciously looking at the kennel on the right, there was only an old dog, Xiao Hei, who looked like he was in his twilight years.
Dad started raising Daha, Erha, Dahei and Xiaohei in 2011. Now, 20 years have passed, and Daha, Erha and Dahei have all grown old one after another.
Now there is only one dog left, Xiao Hei, who doesn't even have the strength to bark a few times.
I lie in the doghouse every day, shaking my whole body when I take two steps, and I can see the erosion of time in my actions.
…
The siblings drove from Caojiazhuang to Qingshi Town, and then to the community where their grandma and grandpa lived.
When the car stopped, the siblings saw their grandma tending flowers in their small courtyard.
That is a plum blossom, which was specially planted by grandma Li Xiaojuan.
Just inside this small courtyard, there are flowers of all seasons.
In the words of the elderly, there are corresponding flowers blooming in each season, and the flowers are always blooming, which also means that their family's life is as beautiful as the flowers at all times.
Cao Xuemeng felt that this was a beautiful thought from her grandma, and she did not try to break her thoughts.
The two old people were very happy when they saw the siblings.
The old couple Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan no longer think about Cheng Jiapo's affairs.
For them, Cheng Jiapo's last few years were nothing but suffering.
Even two years ago, his son Cheng Yunping and his daughter-in-law Liu Yingying learned from nowhere that they bought a house in Qingshi Town and lived here for a long time, and even came to see him.
At that time, the old couple was quite happy, thinking that their son and daughter-in-law had figured it out?
However, the final result disappointed them. The young couple came over and asked them how they bought the house.
She even asked her who she would give the bracelet to in the end.
Cheng Rengui was so angry that he wanted to pick up a stick and beat his son and daughter-in-law back.
In the end, the son-in-law and daughter heard the news and came from Caojiazhuang, and the matter was settled.
But after that incident, Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan completely gave up on their son and daughter-in-law.
It was also at that time that Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan realized that in the eyes of their son and daughter-in-law, only money might be left, and other family ties might be worthless in their eyes.
Fortunately, the daughter and son-in-law have been taking care of them all these years, and the old couple does not have to worry about being homeless and having no support for them.
It is precisely because of this that they feel even more cordial when they see their granddaughter and grandson.
Let the siblings Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui enter the house. The elder couple took out the sugar at home and soaked it in water for the siblings to drink. Then they took out various snacks hidden in the house for the siblings to eat.
The siblings stayed with their grandma and grandpa for a whole day, until it got dark, so they simply stayed at grandma's house again, so as to avoid having to sleep after returning home.
In the next few days, Cao Yirui went to the village to play with classmates of his own age.
He is the top second generation of Caojiazhuang.
His father is the branch secretary of Caojiazhuang Village and the owner of Xuemeng Food Factory. If he wants to return to his hometown to develop after graduating from college, Cao Yirui can go anywhere in Yiling City.
It's just that it's obvious that this kid hasn't thought about this, or that he hasn't experienced enough and hasn't figured it out yet.
Unknowingly, the Spring Festival is approaching, and Caojiazhuang is becoming more and more lively.
After Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui returned from the capital, many classmates and friends came over to play with them.
He even invited them to his home for dinner and listened to them talk about what happened in the capital.
The siblings went to more and more drinking places, but Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin turned a blind eye to their schemes.
My daughter and son will eventually grow up. As the couple is almost 50 years old, there are many things and fate that they cannot stop even if they want.
From the perspective of Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin, they also hope that their daughter and son can find their own destination as soon as possible.
As for letting their daughter and son choose to remain single for the rest of their lives, they think that is not advisable. Human beings are special animals that depend on each other.
However, Cao Shujie does not engage in any arranged marriages in this regard.
Siblings Cao Yirui and Cao Xuemeng were worried that their family would force them to arrange a blind date, but such a thing never happened.
Even after returning home, I worried about my parents and grandparents urging me to get married, but this never happened.
That night, Cao Xuemeng asked her father why he didn't press for marriage like other parents.
As a result, Cao Shujie told her: "Mengmeng, tell dad, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get married?"
Cao Xuemeng burst out laughing after hearing this.
Cao Xuemeng is only 24 years old this year. She is not stupid. She has a more determined personality and is even far more mature than her peers.
Because of this, Cao Xuemeng knew exactly what she was pursuing.
…
At the end of the year, siblings Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui stayed at home with their grandparents and parents to buy New Year goods, and took their sister Nuannuan out to play.
When she was young, Cao Xuemeng liked to let her parents take her out to celebrate the Spring Festival, but now Cao Xuemeng prefers to spend the Spring Festival in her hometown.
She enjoys this lively atmosphere, instead of just chasing changes in the surrounding environment like she did when she was a child, allowing her emotions to be released.
Cao Xuemeng felt strange.
In Cao Shujie's words, his daughter has actually grown up. It is not just a change in age and physical structure, but a psychological maturity.
During the Chinese New Year, the siblings accompanied their grandparents and parents in their hometown to visit relatives and visit elders in the family.
Of course, some people came to visit Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin, especially Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan.
And this behavior just shows that they are old.
By this time, Cao Shujie had basically put down his business at Xuemeng Food Factory and concentrated on spending time with his parents at home and taking care of his wife and children.
For him, making money is no longer the only purpose.
Cao Shujie didn't understand this sentence before, but in the past few years while cultivating himself in Caojiazhuang, his understanding of this truth has become clearer and clearer.
Of course, Cao Shujie has not forgotten to continue to develop Caojiazhuang and Xuemeng Food Factory in these years.
Neither side is left behind.
Even because of the close cooperation with each other, the development speed is faster, which makes people feel dizzy.
Especially when the new generation of village committee leaders in Caojiazhuang made a special trip to visit Secretary Cao, their heartfelt respect was noticed by Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui and their brothers and sisters.
I saw my father greeting these young village committee leaders warmly and earnestly telling them that they must be down-to-earth and conscientious and resolutely protect the interests of Caojiazhuang.
The Spring Festival of 2031 passed slowly in the busyness. What impressed the siblings most was not that they could set off firecrackers again this year, but that they learned a lot about how to deal with people from their father and mother.
I also learned what my father often said: "Mengmeng, Ruirui, if you two feel tired one day, just relax appropriately and don't push yourself to the point of collapse."
Cao Xuemeng remembered this sentence in her heart and even took a pen to record it in her notebook.
She thought that she would take it out and read it several times when she had time in the future. (End of Chapter)
