Chapter 173 Mengmeng is a disservice (monthly ticket) 4000
10,000
It was the Chinese New Year, and Cao Shuyang and Cao Shulun were both away, so the four of them didn't drink too much.
Cao Tiemin and Cao Fei also made fun of Cao Shujie's nickname of "Dog Master", saying that because of his nickname, 80% of people thought he was a villain.
Although they were not present at the scene of what happened that day, they heard other people describe it. They were very impressed by Cao Shujie's performance at that time!
Cao Zhen couldn't stand the repeated nagging of Cao Shujie and the other three, so he took out Patiguli's photo.
After the three people read it, Cao Tiemin immediately said: "Cao Zhen, your wife is so beautiful, this is unscientific."
"It's really beautiful, Cao Zhen. Bring it back for us to see you some time. I'll treat you and make arrangements." Cao Fei patted his chest and said.
Cao Shujie also said: "If you want to get married in Caojiazhuang, how about choosing a day when the mountains are blooming and having a romantic wedding in my orchard?"
This proposal won unanimous approval.
When the drink was over, Cao Shujie remembered something. He turned around and asked Cao Fei: "You are doing planning in the supermarket. It should be the busiest time around the Chinese New Year. Why are you on holiday this year?"
"I will be transferred to the Five-Star Department Store in Yiling City after the new year. The county will arrange a week's rest for me before the new year. Hehe, I'm envious." Cao Fei was quite proud when talking about this matter.
This was something he went to early in the morning and came back late every day, really working hard on his performance. He was thinking about sharing the joy in his heart with others.
Cao Tiemin and the others didn't know about this yet. Because of Cao Fei's concealment, they originally wanted to end the drinking today, but Cao Shujie finally poured another drink for each of the four of them.
Celebrating Cao Fei!
At the same time, Cao Shujie was in a daze.
He had been living in the capital in his previous life and was far away from his hometown. Although he had not lost contact, in the limited communication time, he talked more about his own life and often talked about his work in one sentence.
But even so, he still remembered that in his previous life, Cao Fei had to take care of children and the elderly, so he did not choose to go to the Five-Star Department Store in Yiling City and stayed in Pingyuan County.
Unexpectedly, there will be a bifurcation in this life.
The previous Cao Zhen went to Xinjiang to seek a future, and now Cao Fei went to the Five-Star Department Store in Yiling City. Promotion and salary increase were a sure thing.
"Cao Zhen said that he was stimulated by me. Could it be that Cao Fei was the same?" Cao Shujie never took Cao Zhen's words seriously before and always thought he was joking.
But now I suddenly felt that what he said might be true.
"I have to work hard. I'll start it after the New Year." Cao Shujie cheered himself up in his heart. He still owed two loans of more than 3 million from Yiling Rural Commercial Bank, which he had to repay in April and July of 2014.
clear.
…
Cao Zhen, Cao Tiemin and Cao Fei left together. Cao Shujie had cleaned up the leftovers and was about to help his wife get the remaining New Year goods.
When he came over, his sister was looking at the pot, and his wife was using a small spoon to scoop out the meatballs. The two of them cooperated quite well, but he used to be a bit in the way.
"Shujie, you go and rest first, Fangfang and I will finish the rest of the work." Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie wanted to rest, but there was someone who refused to let him go.
Mengmeng came out of nowhere. When she saw him, she ran over and grabbed his right hand and said with a smile: "Dad, I want to ride a big horse."
Okay, let's go look after the kids.
That night, someone else followed Cao Shujie's example and set off a lot of fireworks on the east bank of the river. Cao Shujie also took Mengmeng over to watch.
The little guy kept shouting and was very excited after seeing the beautiful fireworks.
Cao Shujie originally wanted to say a few words to her, but seeing his daughter's happy expression, he swallowed back the words before they even came out of his mouth.
Children sometimes need to release their natural instincts, and blind control is not necessarily a good thing.
…
Early the next morning, Cao Shujie got up at around 5 o'clock and took Daha and the four of them to walk the dogs on the Yellow River dam in the east.
Daha and his four dogs will not just rest for a while just because they are celebrating the New Year. Instead, as they grow up, they become more energetic and must spend more time keeping them active.
While watching Daha and the others running freely, Cao Shujie looked at the dam and thought of what happened a few days ago. Although he broke the rules, he did not regret it.
When the sun jumped above the horizon and exposed most of his head, the darkness and coldness between heaven and earth were dispelled, and Cao Shujie felt that his body began to become warmer.
"Daha, Erha, let's go home to celebrate the New Year." Cao Shujie shouted.
Today is New Year’s Eve, Spring Festival!
As he shouted, the four dogs quickly ran towards him. When they were close to him, Cao Shujie raised his palms vertically and pushed his arms forward. The four dogs that ran in front of him braked suddenly and stopped firmly in front of him.
More than one meter in front of you.
"You're so good, I'll give you a good meal today." Cao Shujie hummed.
As soon as he got home, he saw his parents coming over and sitting in the living room on the first floor.
His wife Cheng Xiaolin is making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Dad, Mom, you got up quite early."
"After dinner, let's put up Spring Festival couplets later. Do you use tape or paste here?" Cao Jianguo asked him.
It turned out that this was the case. Cao Shujie said: "Dad, I'll use tape. I want to replace it with a new one next year. Just wipe it with alcohol and the tape can be removed."
"It's up to you." Cao Jianguo came to the yard and looked at the four dogs. He also liked it: "Big dog, Er dog, come here."
Play with them for a while before they eat.
Daha and Erha heard the call and ran to Cao Jianguo. They knew what was good about this old man.
Cao Jianguo also wanted to greet Dahei and Xiaohei, but these two German shepherds didn't listen to him at all. No matter how he ordered them, they couldn't do it. This made him frustrated and amazed at the same time.
After Cheng Xiaolin finished making breakfast, she greeted the family to start eating.
There are still a lot of things to be busy with later.
Her father-in-law and husband are responsible for posting Spring Festival couplets, and she, her mother-in-law, and sister-in-law are responsible for cooking New Year's Eve dinner.
According to the rules, her husband will go out this evening to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the Cao family.
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu lives in their house, and many people come to pay New Year's greetings. She has to prepare in advance, and these tasks fall on her.
"Shujie, you and our dad hurry up and finish pasting the Spring Festival couplets and come over to help." Cheng Xiaolin shouted.
Cao Shujie agreed.
The two of them separated the Spring Festival couplets with his father. When his father took the Spring Festival couplets, Cao Shujie took the tape and scissors and started working.
Mengmeng couldn't sit still before she started working, so she led Xiaobai over, insisting on helping.
"Dad, I'll stick it." Mengmeng stood on her toes, straightened her arms, and shouted loudly.
Cao Shujie looked at her daughter who couldn't reach the bottom of the Spring Festival couplets even if she stretched out her arms, and thought to herself, what kind of stickers are you using?
The next moment, I heard Mengmeng shouting: "Daddy, hug me!"
Before Cao Shujie could take any action, his father Cao Jianguo said actively: "Mengmeng, grandpa holds you and asks your father to get the Spring Festival couplets and work for us."
"Okay, okay!" Mengmeng doesn't know how to be polite. Anyway, as long as she posted it, that's fine.
Cao Jianguo handed the Spring Festival couplets in his hand to his son: "Here, take it and give it to whichever one you want. You can do this job."
Cao Shujie looked at his father and always felt that his father was waiting for an opportunity to direct him to work, but he could not provide any evidence.
The task of pasting Spring Festival couplets was not very difficult at first, but Mengmeng made trouble here and the work became very slow.
Cao Shujie still thought that the father and son could finish it all in half an hour. Who knew that Mengmeng was here to help, and it took more than an hour to finish the job.
Moreover, some of the Spring Festival couplets were posted crookedly, and in some places they were even torn apart because of Mengmeng's improper handling. They did not dislike Mengmeng, they just played with her, and slowly finished the Spring Festival couplets.
After finishing the work here, the father and son rode an electric tricycle and took Mengmeng to the old house to continue their work.
There are also many neighbors coming out here, and they chat for a while when they meet, which also slows down their work speed. After all the work is finished, it takes half a day.
When I got on the electric tricycle and prepared to go back to my new house, it was already past 11 o'clock when the sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out in the village.
Then there was the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking. They were all frightened by the firecrackers.
Mengmeng was also frightened. She covered her ears with her hands, nestled in her grandfather's arms, and whispered: "Grandpa is afraid, I am afraid."
While talking, she used a pair of small hands to break off Cao Jianguo's hand. Cao Jianguo didn't understand what his granddaughter meant at first. Cao Shujie, who was riding an electric tricycle in front of him, said to him: "Dad, you cover Mengmeng's ears, and she will
Not afraid anymore.”
Cao Jianguo gave it a try, and it turned out to be true.
Just riding the electric bike all the way home, they heard the sound of three sets of firecrackers.
The moment he walked in, Cao Shujie heard his wife shouting: "Dad, Shujie, the vegetables are fried and the dumplings are wrapped. I'm just waiting for you to come back to cook the dumplings and set off firecrackers for dinner."
At that moment, Cao Shujie felt the New Year atmosphere rushing towards him.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of his parents, grandfather and sister, and seeing the joy on the faces of his wife and children, Cao Shujie felt it was worth it!
…
In the evening, when Cao Shujie was helping his wife prepare dinner at home, he suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "Shujie, are you at home?"
When Cao Shujie came to take a look, he discovered that Cao Shulun was a child.
"Shulun, come in quickly. When did you come back?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Cao Shulun said with a smile: "I got off the night shift and slept at home for a few hours, then I took my wife and children back to Caojiazhuang."
"Then when do you go to work?"
Cao Shulun said: "I go to work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. This year is not very busy. If it were in previous years, I would start working after taking two days off during the New Year."
The two of them entered the house while talking. It was the first time for Cao Shulun to come here after Cao Shujie's small two-story house was renovated.
After he came in, he really felt that this small two-story building was much better than the building he bought in the county town.
"You've built this into a small villa!" Cao Shulun said with some envy. He also wanted to build something like this, but he didn't have that much money.
Cao Shujie smiled: "That's it. I spent a total of 300,000 yuan to build this house, decorate it with furniture and appliances, which is really not as much as what you spent to buy a house in the county."
"That's 300,000 yuan. You said it was easy, but I can't get it." Cao Shulun didn't feel embarrassed.
He said: "Besides, I bought the house with a loan."
Entering the house, Cao Shulun first called Cao Zhenghu: "Grandpa."
When they saw Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan, they also greeted them one by one.
"Mengmeng, call me uncle." Cao Shujie taught his daughter.
Mengmeng didn't hesitate and shouted with a smile: "Hello, uncle."
"Hey, I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring you any New Year's gifts." As he spoke, Cao Shulun took out his wallet, took out a 20 yuan note from his wallet, and handed it to Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, take it.
Come on, buy yourself something delicious and fun."
"Shulun, you can't do this." Cao Shujie blocked it, and just as he was about to refuse, Cao Shulun said: "It's just in time for the Chinese New Year, and the New Year's money for Mengmeng is not much, so why can't I do it?"
Cao Shulun dodged Cao Shujie and handed the money towards Mengmeng.
Cheng Xiaolin said to her daughter this time: "Mengmeng, why don't you thank you soon?"
Mengmeng shouted in a particularly well-behaved and sensible manner: "Thank you, uncle."
After he finished speaking, he took the money.
"It's okay." Cao Shulun looked at the little guy and sighed with emotion: "I remember when I left you on National Day last year, I saw that she was so tall at that time."
Cao Shulun gestured with his legs, and then said: "I really didn't expect that we wouldn't see her for a few months, and she has grown so tall now..."
"That's right, if they are one year older, we will be one year older." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
Cao Jianguo was listening to his son chatting with his nephew from the same clan. He asked: "Shulun, how is your factory now? It's pretty good."
"Uncle, it's okay. I'm not very busy this year." Cao Shulun stretched out five fingers: "We have five days off this year. In previous years, we didn't get any off at all."
"That's right, take a good rest during the holidays. Don't just think about making money all year round. Your body can't bear it." Cao Jianguo said here.
What he said was very true.
Cao Shulun nodded: "Uncle is right. It's hard to catch up with the holidays this year, so I will rest at home for a few days."
"Hey, you're right to think so, you can't make enough money." Cao Jianguo said.
Wang Yuelan called him: "Old Cao, let Shujie and the others chat while you come over and help me cook the dumplings."
As soon as Cao Shujie heard about dinner, he thought of something: "Shulun, are you going to pay New Year's greetings tonight? If so, let's go together."
"That's why I came to see you." Cao Shulun said directly: "Let's go together later and call Shuyang, Cao Fei, Cao Zhen and the others."
"Okay, if you have nothing to do tomorrow afternoon, come to my place for a drink." Cao Shujie suggested.
But Cao Shulun did not agree this time. He said: "I can't stay here forever. Go to my place tomorrow afternoon."
Seeing that Cao Shujie still wanted to refuse, Cao Shulun said: "I'll take care of the food and you take care of the wine, okay."
"Haha, that's okay!" Cao Shujie burst into laughter.
At this time, Cao Shujie felt more and more the atmosphere of the New Year.
