She knew what firecrackers were, and because of this, she was quite afraid of them.
"Then let me buy you a cannon?" Cao Shujie asked her.
Speaking of this, Mengmeng's eyes widened and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, dad, I want to throw the cannon."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and threw it down as hard as she could, shouting, "Pah!"
"Haha!" She made herself laugh.
Cao Shujie also laughed: "Okay, let's go shopping later. If we see something for sale, I'll buy it for you."
Cheng Xiaolin reminded him: "Shujie, don't buy too much for her, otherwise she will ruin the floor at home."
The power of throwing the cannon is not great, but if it is dropped on the ground, when the gunpowder explodes, it will cause a yellow or light black mark, which is difficult to deal with.
While the two companions chatted, Cao Shujie didn't feel lonely during the journey while driving, and time passed quickly. Before he knew it, Cao Shujie had already driven into Yiling City.
They went to Yiling University first, and after picking up his sister Cao Huifang, they went to the Five-Star Department Store together to buy New Year items for their family.
Driving to the vicinity of Yiling University, Cao Shujie saw many cars parked near the school gate from a distance. Students dragging suitcases came out of the school and were picked up by middle-aged men and women, who got into the car and left together.
He knew that these should be the parents who came to pick up the students.
Cheng Xiaolin also worried after seeing it: "With so many people coming to pick her up, will Mengmeng go to school in the future and we have to pick her up like this too?"
"Honey, Mengmeng won't go to college for fifteen or six years. It's a bit early for you to think about it now." Cao Shujie said to her with a smile.
Slowly moving forward, Cao Shujie spotted a car that had just started to leave. He immediately drove the car over and parked it in the marked parking space. This technique was perfect.
When he took out his cell phone to call his sister, Mengmeng looked outside and asked him: "Dad, have we arrived at the mall?"
"Come on, pick up Auntie and let's go to the mall, okay?" Cao Shujie has already dialed his sister's phone number.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mengmeng shake her head: "No, I don't want aunt."
Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter and didn't know what to say.
"Brother, are you here?" Cao Huifang's voice came from the phone, and she could hear it clearly in the car.
When Mengmeng heard this, she shouted: "Yeah, it's aunt, I don't want it."
After saying that, she turned around and got into her mother's arms, and then turned around in her mother's arms to look around.
Cao Huifang also heard her niece's voice, and she shouted happily: "Mengmeng, you are here to pick me up too. My aunt is very happy and will buy you toys soon."
"Fangfang, there are many cars in front of your school. I can't drive in. Come out. I'll wait for you right here at the school gate." Cao Shujie said.
"Okay, brother, just wait a moment, I'll be there right away." Cao Huifang happily agreed. She had spent enough time at school in the past two days.
Mengmeng saw her father hanging up the phone from behind, and she shouted anxiously: "Dad, come on, my aunt is coming."
In her eyes, her aunt is the devil incarnate.
"Why are we going? We are here to pick up your aunt." Cao Shujie looked at his daughter and wondered, is your aunt so scary in your heart?
Cheng Xiaolin also stroked her daughter's little head and coaxed her: "Mengmeng, didn't your aunt just tell you that she wanted to buy you a toy?"
Cheng Xiaolin taught her: "We will go to the mall later. Which toy you like, let your aunt buy it for you, okay?"
Mengmeng was very excited when she heard that she could buy something for herself. She thought about it for more than ten seconds before she nodded hesitantly: "Okay then!"
Cheng Xiaolin wanted to laugh when she saw her daughter's serious look.
After waiting for a while, Mengmeng couldn't stay still anymore. She lay on the car window and stared outside with wide eyes.
Just when Cao Shujie was about to make a second call to his sister to ask her where she was, his daughter's shout came to his ears: "Dad, look, aunt."
"Mom, look!"
The little guy had sharp eyes. Cao Shujie looked in the direction his daughter pointed with her finger. In the direction of the gate, his sister was dragging a suitcase out.
Cao Shujie opened the car door, got out of the car and greeted him.
Cheng Xiaolin also got out of the back seat with her daughter in her arms: "Fangfang, how many days have you had off?"
"Sister-in-law, we let her go for more than a month, and we won't go to school until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the new year." Cao Huifang said.
"That's okay. I just want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to rest at home for a while."
Cheng Xiaolin opened the car door and said, "Fangfang, get in the car quickly. Let's go to the Five Star Department Store to buy something and then go home."
Mengmeng also shouted to Cao Huifang at this time: "Auntie, buy me a toy."
"Okay, Mengmeng, you let your aunt kiss you, and I will buy you two toys later, okay?" Cao Huifang stretched out her hands to hug her.
Even Cheng Xiaolin thought her daughter would agree. But who knew that Mengmeng turned around without thinking, hugged Cheng Xiaolin's neck with both hands, and locked her little hands tightly: "I don't."
Feeling Cao Huifang pulling her from behind, Mengmeng was so frightened that she cried loudly: "Mom, please save me, mom is holding me."
It made several people dumbfounded. Cheng Xiaolin really couldn't figure out why her daughter was so afraid of this aunt, so she wondered why her sister-in-law provoked Mengmeng.
Cao Shujie said from the side: "Okay, don't make a fuss now, let's leave here and make room for others."
This is business.
Cao Shujie also noticed that there were more and more cars coming here. It was difficult for them to go out now. If they kept going, they might really be stuck in the traffic jam, and they didn't know how long they would be stuck in the traffic jam before they could leave.
After Cao Shujie drove away from Yiling University, he drove directly to the Five-Star Department Store in the city center. This is a localized large-scale comprehensive shopping mall. There is still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year, and the people who come to the mall to buy things seem
Very many.
After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Cao Shujie and four others, three large and one small, took the elevator directly to the first floor.
After coming out of the elevator, this floor mainly sells shoes, leather goods, jewelry, cosmetics and bags.
When Mengmeng saw the cosmetics seller, she refused to leave. She pointed at the cosmetics set on the glass cabinet at one of the counters and shouted: "Mom, powder it."
"Powder." Mengmeng shouted loudly. She also opened her left hand and grasped the five fingers of her right hand together, as if holding something, dipping it in the palm of her left hand a few times. Then she raised her right hand and began to wipe it on her face.
While looking at the palm of your hand, it's like looking in a mirror.
Cao Huifang stared at her and asked her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, is Mengmeng imitating your powder application?"
Cao Shujie could tell what his daughter was doing, but how could a three-year-old girl understand?
I also learned the essence of it.
Is it possible that being stinky is just natural?
Cheng Xiaolin couldn't laugh or cry when she saw her daughter's skillful moves: "Mengmeng must have seen me applying powder, and she followed suit."
Not to mention the brothers Cao Huifang and Cao Shujie, even the waiter at the counter couldn't help laughing after seeing Mengmeng's skillful moves. Mengmeng was like a little drama queen in her eyes, innocent and cute
.
"The little girl is so cute." The waiter at the counter said with a smile.
Mengmeng looked at her and said sweetly: "Thank you, auntie."
"Oh, you are such a sensible child. Your parents taught you so well. Our brat is useless." The waiter at the counter looked envious.
But she is usually very busy and has no time to teach her son. Although she knows that it will definitely not be good for a long time, there is no way. The real problem is before her, and she still has to earn money to support her family.
She works two shifts, and her husband works three shifts. Neither of them can spare a full time to take care of the children. She sometimes considers changing jobs, but in this industry, the salary in five-star department stores is the highest, and every item is
The benefits are also the best.
Speaking of one thousand or ten thousand, salary income is the most realistic. In the end, the child can only be sent to the elderly.
But the old man's discipline of her son was really hard to describe.
Every family has a hard time learning. Cao Shujie didn't know what she was thinking, but the waiter praised the couple in a roundabout way, which made him feel very comfortable. When he saw that the products on the counter were also brand-name products, he gave them to him first.
My wife bought a set.
The waiter didn't even expect that she could sell a set of products with just one sentence, and the price of the set of products was not cheap. She still felt a little incredible until Cao Shujie handed her the payment slip and left with the suit.
She hadn't even started to use her sharp tongue to convince the other party, and they bought it and left.
"Brother, you're having too much fun, aren't you spending a lot of money?" Cao Huifang said to her brother.
She wants it too, but she doesn't have that much money and is really greedy.
It was impossible to ask her mother for money to buy it.
Cao Shujie didn't even bother to look at her. Cheng Xiaolin directly handed her the cosmetics set she was carrying: "Fangfang, here, give it to you."
"Me?" Cao Huifang pointed to her nose, a little at a loss.
Cheng Xiaolin smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's for you, take it quickly."
She said: "I still have several sets that I can't use. It's a waste to keep them at home. You can use them."
"Sister-in-law, this..."
"Hurry up and take it. You can use it sparingly and it will last a long time." Cheng Xiaolin grabbed her sister-in-law's hand and put the suit's handbag rope into her hand.
Mengmeng looked sideways, and shouted: "Mom, I want some powder too."
"You are a child, why should you apply powder?" Cheng Xiaolin threatened her: "If you apply an adult's powder, your face will be damaged easily if you can't stand it, and you will look ugly by then."
Mengmeng's pupils were obviously dilated, and she looked scared. Before her mother could finish speaking, she quickly waved her hands and said, "I don't want it."
After saying that, he protected his face with his little hands, looking very scared.
Seeing her daughter like this, Cheng Xiaolin had a sly smile on her face. She said, "Don't be afraid, cute. Mom will buy you a set for children in a few days, okay?"
"Okay." Mengmeng's little face was full of smiles.
Cao Shujie also bought a belt and a pair of leather shoes for his father on this floor.
He originally wanted to buy a pair of leather shoes for his mother, but after looking at several styles, none of them seemed suitable, so he kept going.
I bought a bunch of things for Mengmeng on the second floor, and bought some for his mother and mother-in-law on the third floor. I shopped until I ordered it, and finally bought it for the whole family. Finally, I went to the underground supermarket on the first floor to prepare enough cigarettes.
Wine, gift boxes, candies, dried fruits and other different New Year products.
When pushing two full shopping carts from the supermarket on the first floor to the parking lot, Cao Shujie's car trunk was full, and he filled the passenger car with things, and then he drove towards Caojiazhuang with his harvest.
go.
The road was full of cute laughter and laughter, and he didn't feel bored on the way back. Cao Shujie drove back to Caojiazhuang in one go, without going to his parents' place, and took his sister directly to his new home.
Mother Wang Yuelan is cooking here, and father has also come down from the orchard at this time, waiting for them to start eating when they come back.
The last time Cao Huifang came back, she took two days off from work during the summer vacation and came back specifically.
At that time, her brother's house had not yet been renovated. When she saw the renovated house, Cao Huifang had an idea in her mind that she also wanted to build her own one.
Compared with the house her parents live in now, it is not at the same level.
"Brother, how much did it cost?" Cao Huifang was curious.
"It's not much. Including decoration, I spent a total of more than 300,000, mainly on decoration and buying furniture. I spent more money on home appliances, but the rest was just average."
Listening to his brother's understatement, as if the 300,000 yuan was not money at all, Cao Huifang felt a little bitter.
Who is this person? As soon as he had some money, his money suddenly skyrocketed.
If I make a lot of money in the future, wouldn’t I fly to the moon and never come back?
As soon as Cao Huifang entered the door, she saw her grandfather sitting in the living room. She was pleasantly surprised and ran over to hold Cao Zhenghu's hand and shouted: "Grandpa, when did you come back?"
"I came back half a month earlier than you, Fangfang, why did you take the holiday?"
"Grandpa, we have an early break, we haven't even had a break yet for junior high school and high school!" Cao Huifang said.
Wang Yuelan was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard her daughter's voice, she quickly put down the tools in her hands and came over.
When she saw her daughter Cao Huifang, Wang Yuelan felt a little resentful. She raised her hand and wanted to slap her, but finally took it back abruptly: "You kid, why didn't you come back during the National Day holiday?"
"Have you gone to school for two years and now you feel like I can't control you outside?" Wang Yuelan said to her.
Cao Huifang was embarrassed by what her mother said, and kept her head hanging down, not daring to raise her head to look at her mother.
It was Cheng Xiaolin who came over to persuade them, and the two of them stopped expressing their longing for each other in other ways.
"Huifang just came back. She must be hungry too. Go wash up and eat quickly." Father Cao Jianguo came out of the kitchen with a pot of stewed meat.
Hearing what he said, Wang Yuelan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you are all hungry, go and wash your hands and eat."
"Grandma, I didn't eat either." Mengmeng said loudly.
When Wang Yuelan heard her granddaughter shouting, she moved faster.
I went to the kitchen to take out the rest of the food, and looked at the water that was almost boiling in the pot. I would cook the dumplings later and they would be ready.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Mengmeng asked outside the door.
Wang Yuelan said: "It's almost ready. Have you washed your hands? Let's eat dumplings later."
"Okay." Mengmeng ran to wash her hands first.
Cao Huifang said to her later: "Mengmeng, you can't do anything else, but you are quite active in eating."
"Auntie, what did you say?" Mengmeng asked her with a confused look on her face.
Cao Huifang felt that talking to her niece about these things was like playing the piano to a cow, and she was no longer interested in talking about it.
After finishing the meal, Cao Huifang had time to walk around the first and second floors. After reading them carefully, she liked them more and more.
She thinks this is much better than a building.
Speaking of the upcoming Chinese New Year, Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan both talked a lot about it. They just wanted to visit more often and maintain the relationships between relatives at home.
This is not a difficult task. Cao Shujie nodded: "Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about these things. I will definitely take care of them."
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I went to Yiling City today and bought you some clothes, shoes, and some other things. They are all in the car and I haven't taken them down yet. I will finish my meal later.
You guys try on the clothes and shoes to see if they fit. If they don’t fit, I’ll replace them,” Cao Shujie said.
When Wang Yuelan and Cui Jianguo heard that it was troublesome, they said, "Why do you have to buy it there? We can just go to the town and buy one."
"Dad, Mom, this is different." This is what Cao Shujie said.
After the meal, Cao Shujie was busy taking out all the things in the car and putting them away in categories. He handed over the clothes and shoes he bought for his parents and grandfather.
"Grandpa, I bought this for you."
"Dad, Mom, this is yours."
"Linlin has chosen these for you. Let's see if they suit you later."
When they heard that it was their daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law) who bought it, Cao Jianguo, Wang Yuelan and Cao Zhenghu originally wanted to say a few words, but they immediately changed their words: "Oh, I just said that this dress looks very beautiful. It is from Bizhen."
The clothes sold here are good.”
"It's really nice to look at."
The cute little girl is so cute. When she saw her grandparents and grandpa praising her mother, she also said: "Grandpa, there is me, and I have chosen it for you too."
After hearing this, Cao Zhenghu smiled and touched her little head and said, "Mengmeng loves grandpa the most."
Cao Huifang is very curious about what her brother's orchard looks like now. She also wants to see what the fruit trees they planted on Labor Day look like now.
Without saying a word, he ran up the mountain.
When she saw their neighbor Brother Chao working in the orchard, Cao Huifang was quite curious and said to him: "Brother Chao, why are you here?"
When Cao Shuchao saw Cao Huifang coming back, he also smiled and shouted: "Isn't this our college student, Fangfang, are you on vacation?"
"Well, Brother Chao, let's take winter vacation." Cao Huifang said.
"It's better to go to college, Fangfang, you have to study hard and do great things like your brother in the future." Cao Shuchao said this.
One sentence made Cao Guifang both excited and ashamed.
But she knew how much she weighed, and let alone being as powerful as her brother, she felt that she couldn't even achieve half of her brother's level.
