Chapter 167 Playing games with Mengmeng, tired (500.015 million)
It was already ten minutes after we came down from the mountain.
At the crossroads at the north end of Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie met Li Xinwu who was waiting to deliver meat to him.
Li Xinwu rode a motorized tricycle with a bucket and no shelter. It was very painful to ride this in the cold winter months.
Li Xinwu has not graduated from college yet, but he can endure this hardship. This little brother is really not easy.
Seeing Cao Shujie coming, Li Xinwu shouted happily: "Brother, your meat."
"Brother, let's go home with me for a cup of hot water." Cao Shujie pointed to the small second-story building to the east and said, "That's my home."
"Okay." Li Xinwu nodded and drove over there on his motorcycle.
It wasn't far to begin with, but when Li Xinwu stopped the car, Cao Shujie also came over.
Cheng Xiaolin had been waiting at the door of the house. She said to Li Xinwu: "Brother Li, please drive the car in so that it can be unloaded."
Cao Shujie bought a lot of meat, including 50 kilograms of beef, 20 kilograms of mutton, and half a fan of pork. Even if the internal organs were removed, half a fan of pork weighed about 50 kilograms.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay, it's not heavy." Li Xinwu looked at the brand-new house in front of him. He was really afraid that if he didn't have good skills, he would ruin the house for others, and the deal would be in vain.
After parking the car and turning the key, Li Xinwu had already gotten out of the car.
Cheng Xiaolin couldn't do anything to him. When she saw her husband coming over, she said, "Shujie, help Xiao Li get the meat."
"Okay!" Cao Shujie was very happy. He came over and picked up the meat.
Li Xinwu was still a little embarrassed: "Brother, there is blood on the flesh. Don't touch it. I'll just come and get it."
He was still wearing a leather jacket, which was stained with a lot of blood and even animal hair, but he didn't care about it, picked up a bag of meat and walked home.
Cao Shujie didn't care and followed behind with a piece of meat in hand.
There were two trips in total, and Cao Shujie didn't need help on the second trip. Li Xinwu came in with the remaining meat in one hand and a digital scale in the other.
Daha, Erha, they saw the stranger come in and smelled the smell of blood, so they screamed with excitement.
But when Cao Shujie roared, they didn't dare to bark anymore. They all obediently returned to the kennel and looked out with wide eyes.
"Brother, why do you have so many dogs? This food is very delicious." Li Xinwu said with a smile.
He also has two German shepherds at home.
They ate some of the unwanted offal left over from the slaughter of pigs, cows and sheep at home, but knowing their appetite, he was not very afraid when he saw the dogs.
Cao Shujie smiled and said, "Just keep it for fun."
As he spoke, Li Xinwu put down the electronic scale, put the three bags of meat on the electronic scale one by one, and asked Cao Shujie to look at them all.
"Brother, the beef is 52.7 kilograms, so it's 52 kilograms."
“The mutton is 21.5 jins, so it’s 21 jins.”
"There is still half a fan of pork." Li Xinwu said, holding a pig leg upside down, and put the half fan of pork on the electronic scale: "54.8 kilograms, brother, look, this is still a big pig."
"This meat is really good." Cao Jianguo looked at the color of the meat. It was evenly fat and thin, and the color was very good.
The texture of the beef was also very symmetrical. He asked: "Xiao Li, how much does your dad kill in one night?"
"Uncle, I can't count this. I have been very busy recently. My dad hasn't slept for two days." Li Xinwu said, taking out his notebook to calculate the accounts. He said: "Now during the Chinese New Year, the prices of pork, beef and mutton have all increased.
They kill a lot of pigs themselves, and there are also many sheep."
"Haha, then your father makes a lot of money." Cao Jianguo said with a smile.
Li Xinwu had finished calculating the accounts. He handed the account book to Cao Shujie: "Brother, please see if it's correct."
Cao Shujie was not polite. After taking it and reading it, he nodded: "Yes, I will get you the money right now."
The total price of these meats is 2516.9 yuan. Li Xinwu made the decision and only asked for a round number.
Cao Shujie gave his father Li Jiagan a deposit of 500 yuan at the big fair, and this time he handed him another 2,000 yuan.
Cao Shujie saw him take the money skillfully, put it into his pocket after counting it, and then started to pack up the electronic scales and prepare to leave.
"Brother, drink a cup of hot water before leaving." Cao Shujie stopped him and said.
"Brother, don't drink. When I get back, it's still early and I have to deliver to a few more places. I'm busy during the Chinese New Year." Li Xinwu loaded the things into the car very simply. He got on the motorcycle and started it.
From unloading things to leaving, it took less than 10 minutes. I didn’t even drink a sip of hot water: “Uncle, brother, I’m leaving!”
"If you need meat, just call my dad."
After saying that, accompanied by the buzzing sound of the motorcycle engine, he had already backed up the car, turned a corner, corrected the direction, and left.
"This kid is really capable of enduring hardship at such a young age." Cao Jianguo sighed as he looked at Li Xinwu's retreating figure.
Cao Shujie also admired him very much and said to his father: "Dad, I think the new military will be able to achieve great things."
"You don't need to tell me, just with his enthusiasm for doing things, he will do well in the future." Cao Jianguo said.
The twelfth lunar month of winter and the biting wind are no joke.
At home, Cheng Xiaolin was busy dividing the meat.
Half a fan of pork still had bones, so it was not easy to get rid of, but 50 kilograms of beef and more than 20 kilograms of mutton, she cut out half of each and put it in a bag. Then she gave it to her mother-in-law Wang Yuelan and said: "Mom, this is for you and my dad."
Yes, you two should eat more meat and less vegetables. If you can’t eat pickles, then I won’t eat them.”
"Linlin, why are you giving us so much meat? I don't want it." As expected, Wang Yuelan refused again.
After Cao Shujie came in, he happened to see this scene: "Mom, just take it and eat it. Otherwise, you and my dad can move over here and we can cook together."
"To be honest, I'm not afraid that you'll eat more, I'm just afraid that you won't be willing to eat."
He said: "Think about it, we made hundreds of thousands last year, but I dare not say it will be more this year. It's almost a million. How do we spend so much money?"
Cheng Xiaolin wanted to laugh when she heard her husband's tone of voice. Fortunately, she held it back in the end and kept biting her lip to keep from laughing.
On the contrary, Grandpa Cao Zhenghu couldn't stand it any longer and burst into laughter: "Yuelan, Shujie is right, you can eat what you should."
"Mom, did you hear that? My grandfather said this." Cao Shujie said with a smile: "I will buy it after I finish eating."
"Shujie, don't be such a spendthrift. The way you eat, no matter how much money you have, it won't be enough." Cao Jianguo said to his son.
Cao Shujie chuckled and didn't care.
But Wang Yuelan still cut each half in half. She said she would not take that much.
Cao Shujie was really at a loss, so he divided the remaining 5 kilograms of beef, 3 kilograms of mutton, and 10 kilograms of pork into three bags.
"Shujie, what is this for?" Before Cao Jianguo could figure it out, he heard his son say: "Give it to Brother Chao. Is it Chinese New Year? It's a lot of fun together."
"Besides, Brother Chao is a hard worker. He has worked hard since he came here. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have time to do anything else." Cao Shujie said.
Let’s not talk about the daily pruning and other chores in the orchard. Let’s just talk about feeding 50 cows and mixing the feed every day. For ordinary people, let alone a month, they will be gone in a few days.
Cao Jianguo did not object this time. He said to his son: "Then you can send it to him tonight. I heard him say two days ago that he had to go to the last Qingshi Town Fair in a few days. Don't let him buy duplicates.
Already."
"Dad, okay!" Cao Shujie nodded and agreed.
After dinner, his parents wanted to go to the old house to rest in the evening. Cao Shujie drove them there and just happened to take a piece of meat for Cao Shuchao.
Even though the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are still very few people on the streets at this time.
Cao Shujie parked the car in front of his parents' house and watched them go home. Cao Shujie also told them: "Mom, just turn on the heating. Don't be reluctant to burn coal."
"Okay, hurry up and get busy, don't worry about us." Wang Yuelan said.
Cao Shujie carried the packaged pork, beef, and mutton to Cao Shuchao's house next door.
At this time, Cao Shuchao's family had just started eating.
When he heard someone knocking on the door, Cao Shuchao was still at home shouting: "Who is it?"
"Brother Chao, it's me, Shujie!" Cao Shujie said softly.
When she heard it was 'Cao Shujie', Ma Wenqian, who was holding a bowl of corn porridge, said quickly: "Shu Chao, why are you still standing there? Go and open the door for Brother Shujie."
"Right away!" Cao Shuchao wondered: "Why is Shujie here so late?"
"Why are you so busy!" Ma Wenqian put down the bowl, and when she was about to open the door, Cao Shuchao ran out first.
Their son Cao Yankai was eating nearby. Seeing his parents like this, he asked, "Mom, is this my Uncle Jie next door?"
"Yes, Kaikai, please remember to call me uncle later." Ma Wenqian warned him.
This child doesn't know what's going on. Ever since he went to school and lived in the school, he doesn't like to talk much every time he comes home, and he doesn't shout when he sees his elders in the family.
"Yes!" Cao Yankai nodded and agreed.
While the two women were talking, Cao Shuchao and Cao Shujie came in together. Cao Shuchao shouted: "Honey, Shujie is here to deliver meat."
"What meat to give?" Ma Wenqian was still thinking about it when she saw Cao Shujie coming in with several bags of meat.
Her husband, Cao Shuchao, was following her. It was neither a sexual intercourse nor a sexual intercourse.
Cao Shujie did not make things difficult for them, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Brother Chao worked hard at my place and never cheated or cheated. I can do so well there, and it is indispensable that Brother Chao deserves a share of the credit."
"I was thinking that the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, so I went to the town market today, so I bought some more pork, beef, and mutton, and I'll give you some as well. This is my New Year's benefit for Brother Chao. There aren't many things.
You can't dislike it!" The smile on Cao Shujie's face never broke.
He said: "This is 10 kilograms of pork, 5 kilograms of beef, and 3 kilograms of mutton. I will make some dumplings for my aunt."
Cao Shujie said while looking at the old lady sitting alone at the big table in the room eating.
This is Cao Shuchao's mother. It has been almost a year since she fell down on her waist and she still hasn't recovered.
Zheng Huajuan, the old lady sitting on the official hat chair, heard what Cao Shujie said. She was a little excited and muttered: "Oh, my half-dead old lady still makes you worried, Shujie, what do you mean?
What do you mean this is for?"
"If you hadn't been kind enough to let your brother Chao work and earn so much money in a month, how would our family's life be like?"
"His father didn't get it early, and if I drag the three of them down again, sometimes I really want to die." Zheng Huajuan said, thinking about the trouble she had caused to the family after her fall, her heart was filled with panic.
"Mom, you are not allowed to say that during the Chinese New Year." Ma Wenqian felt uncomfortable when she heard her mother-in-law speak like this.
But she knew that there were many families in the countryside whose living conditions were not good. Whenever they were ill, they had to rely on nature to cure them, otherwise they would have to wait for that day to come.
Cao Shujie waved his hand: "Auntie, you are wrong to think so. At least you have to wait for Kaikai to get married and hold your great-grandson. Don't think too much about where you are now. This is just the beginning.
The good times are yet to come!”
"Hey!" Zheng Huajuan nodded.
She said: "Shujie, please sit down."
"Shuchao, give your brother a glass of water."
"Qianqian, go ahead and cook two more dishes, and let Shujie stay for a glass of wine."
She arranged it clearly, but Cao Shujie shook his head: "Auntie, sister-in-law, please stop working. I came here after dinner."
"I just sent my parents here to rest, and I also sent you meat so that you don't have to buy the same thing again. Wouldn't it be a waste of money." Cao Shujie said.
Ma Wenqian looked at the meat and made an estimate in her mind. The total cost of the meat was at least three hundred yuan, maybe more!
If she had more than three hundred yuan, it would be enough for her husband to work for a week. No matter how you calculate it, this is not a small amount of money.
Cao Shujie stayed at Cao Shuchao's house for more than ten minutes, then found an excuse to leave. He went to see his parents again and saw that the heating in the house was quite hot, and then he drove towards the north end of the village.
…
Cao Shuchao's home.
After Cao Shujie left, Ma Wenqian went over to mention the meat. She weighed it and said, "At least 20 kilograms. What Shujie gave is just a lot more."
"Ouch, it's hundreds of dollars!" Zheng Huajuan looked at her son: "Shu Chao, you have to work hard, or I'll break your legs."
"Mom, I have always done well." Cao Shuchao said.
Regarding this, Zheng Huajuan believes it, and so does Ma Wenqian.
Turning around to see her son who had been silent, Ma Wenqian raised her hand and slapped him on the back: "Kaikai, what did I tell you just now, asking you to call me uncle? Why didn't you call me uncle!"
Cao Shuchao thought that this was really the case. Ever since Cao Shujie came in, his son had been silent and silent, so that the whole family had ignored him.
"You bastard, you have eyes for nothing, you don't know how to call someone." Cao Shuchao scolded him.
Cao Yankai hummed: "Dad, I...I forgot."
"Why the hell do you never forget to eat? Look at all the meat your Uncle Jie sent you and the tuition you paid. None of it was given by your Uncle Jie." Cao Shuchao was very angry.
Cao Shujie had a different meaning for their family. He pointed at his son and said, "Do this to me next time and see if I don't tear your mouth apart."
Ma Wenqian didn't protect her son this time. She even wondered if she had protected her son so much that he didn't even have the most basic sense of etiquette.
Zheng Huajuan said: "Shu Chao, this meat is enough to celebrate the New Year. You don't need to buy additional meat. I will buy some good things during the New Year for you, Grandpa Tiger."
"And your uncle Jianguo, don't forget that it's not right for people to be nice to us!" Zheng Huajuan knew very well.
Cao Shuchao nodded: "Mom, don't worry!"
…
When Cao Shujie returned home, his sister Cao Huifang was playing hide-and-seek with Mengmeng.
But the cute hide-and-seek thing is too childish.
She covered her eyes in front of you, and deliberately exposed a slit to look at her, asking if it was hidden?
Or just hide behind the door and ask if it's hidden?
Without waiting for a response, she went to find someone.
Cao Shujie and his daughter couldn't play this game, and Cheng Xiaolin couldn't play it either.
She felt that playing such a retarded hide-and-seek with Mengmeng would cause her IQ to drop below freezing.
But Cao Huifang didn't care. She quite liked playing hide-and-seek with her niece, which made her feel completely relaxed during the game, and she didn't feel any pressure at all.
Seeing her brother come in, Cao Huifang shouted: "Brother."
"Well, you guys have fun." Cao Shujie didn't intend to participate.
But Mengmeng had no intention of letting her father go, and shouted: "Dad, play games."
"hide and seek."
Cao Shujie quickly refused: "I won't play, you can play with your aunt, I'm still alive!"
"No, daddy is playing games." Mengmeng's eyes widened. She was still too sleepy to open her eyes near evening, but she was no longer sleepy now.
"Dad is going to cut some meat, and I'll stew it out tomorrow for you to eat, okay?" Cao Shujie thought that by saying this, his daughter would let him go.
But who knew that Mengmeng would be very difficult to fool today: "No, mom is making meat, don't think I don't know."
"..." Cao Shujie wanted to cry.
Are today’s children so hard to deceive?
Cao Shujie doubted that his wife was so diligent tonight because she was deliberately hiding because she didn't want to play hide-and-seek with Mengmeng.
There is nothing left to do. Cao Shujie puts his mind at ease and goes crazy with his daughter.
He said: "Mengmeng, you hide with your aunt, and I'll find you, okay?"
"Okay!" Mengmeng happily agreed.
She also yelled: "Dad, turn around and cover your eyes."
"Okay!" Cao Shujie turned around obediently, but as soon as he turned around, he was confused.
He was facing a mirror mounted on the wall, through which he could clearly see every move of his daughter and sister.
His sister Cao Huifang sat firmly on the sofa without moving, while Mengmeng hid behind the sofa and squatted down, with half of her butt exposed.
"How can I find this?" Cao Shujie had a big question mark in his head.
He was helpless, but still asked: "Have you hidden it?"
"Okay, dad, I've hidden it, and my aunt has hidden it too, so hurry up and find it." Mengmeng said diligently.
Cao Shujie: "..."
Tired!
"Then I really found it." Cao Shujie shouted.
"Dad, why are you so slow? Hurry up and find me." Mengmeng, who was sticking her butt out, began to urge.
Cao Shujie turned around and walked towards the sofa, but when he got there he saw his sister sitting on the sofa and looking at him, so he turned around helplessly and went to look for her in the small room next to her.
