"Tiemin, well done!" Cao Jianlong's eyes showed admiration.
He admires this kind of person.
If someone in their generation had such a buddy, it would be a lifetime of pride.
But it is a pity that in recent years, he has found that people's hearts have become more and more impetuous. In addition, young people are rushing to the city. There are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the countryside. On the contrary, there are fewer and fewer young people.
In addition, you are in this city and I am in that city, and the distance between them ranges from dozens of miles to hundreds or thousands of kilometers. As the distance increases, the number of contacts between each other becomes less and less, and the number of phone calls becomes less and less.
Little by little, the relationship gradually faded away without realizing it.
The friendship between friends like Cao Tiemin and Cao Shujie is extremely precious in Cao Jianlong's opinion.
"Hey, Uncle Long, isn't this what it should be?" Cao Tiemin thought this was normal.
Cao Jianlong gave him a higher look: "Tiemin, go and do your work, I'll take a look around."
"If something happens, you call me. If someone dares to make trouble in our Caojiazhuang, you also call me." Cao Jianlong said.
Cao Tiemin nodded: "Uncle Jianlong, don't worry, nothing will happen!"
The two separated, and Cao Jianlong continued to walk in. When he was at the door, he said hello to Cao Shujie, who was busy.
Cao Shujie also handed him a small bag of strawberries: "Uncle Long, you eat first. If you still want to eat, go to the orchard and pick it yourself."
"Okay, you can get busy, I'll go in and take a look around." Cao Tiemin took the strawberry, walked directly across the barbed wire guardrail door, and walked inside.
People who were queuing up saw someone disobeying the rules and entering the orchard directly. The person at the front started shouting. Cao Shujie explained with a smile: "That was my Uncle Long just now, the elder of my family. He came to help with the work. Big guy."
Don’t think too much.”
After hearing what was going on, the restless crowd calmed down.
Cao Shujie, Cheng Xiaolin, Cao Shujie and his father, Cao Jianguo, were at the door, dividing bags, basins, and weighing.
There were more than 20 people temporarily recruited from Caojiazhuang to help. Each person guarded one area and went there to solve any problems in time.
Let all visitors who come here enjoy the best service and feel at home.
Unknowingly, the morning was almost over. At this time, Cao Shujie and his wife had numb hands with hair basins and plastic bags. His father, Cao Jianguo, had been replaced and went to the hut to rest for a while.
"Shujie, how many people do you think have come today?" Cheng Xiaolin asked.
Cao Shujie really couldn't say, he summed it up: "There are more people coming this time than the last Qingming Festival."
"That's for sure. Many people go back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors during Qingming Festival, but Labor Day is just for fun." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"What you said is true." Cao Shujie continued to be busy.
"Boss, please weigh these strawberries." The couple were talking, and two people came from the north orchard. The man was holding two bags of strawberries.
He put it on the scale, and the electronic scale automatically weighed 6 pounds and 2 taels. Cao Shujie wiped off the change for him.
"Brother, just give me 210 yuan." Cao Shujie said.
The other party was very happy to pay. He knew that he put more into the pot when picking. The boss saw this and didn't say anything else. Based on this, Cao Shujie immediately won the favor of the people present.
"Boss, we have been playing all morning and we are a little hungry. Is there a place to eat in our village?" the young man asked him after paying the money.
Cao Shujie pointed to the north and said: "There is a farm restaurant over there. The food is clean and hygienic, and the price is cheap. You can go and have a look."
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the intersection going down the mountain in the south and said: "We also have some fast food restaurants at the foot of the mountain. You can also go there and try them."
"I've seen them all, the ones selling dumplings, the ones selling steamed buns, the ones selling pancakes and fruits. I finally came here and I definitely want to try something different." The young man glanced at the girl next to him and said.
Cao Shujie understood what he was thinking, laughed, pointed to the north and said, "Then you have to go to the farm restaurant to try our special beef, which is raised with feed and pasture in my orchard."
He said: "I also mixed some overripe fruits that fell on the ground into the feed for them to eat, and the beef had a fruity aroma."
"Oh, you really need to try it." After hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up.
Not to mention him, other people around him also became interested when they heard Cao Shujie introduce the farm restaurant. They also thought that they would go there to try the special beef after they had enough fun in the orchard.
Caojiazhuang does not have any specialty beef, but when Cao Shujie said this, these tourists really believed what he said.
…
Cao Huifang returned to her brother's house, put down her schoolbag and luggage, and prepared to go to the mountain to help.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw her grandfather sitting in the living room drinking tea, and her niece Mengmeng lying on the sofa playing with toys.
Xu Mengmeng turned around when she heard the sound of her coming in. When she saw her, Mengmeng was immediately overjoyed: "Auntie."
But then she thought about what her aunt had done to her, and Mengmeng immediately stood up and ran towards her grandfather, seeking protection.
When Cao Huifang saw this scene, she felt like her heart had been stabbed hard, and she was very hurt.
"Mengmeng, why are you hiding from me?" Cao Huifang asked her with resentful eyes.
But Mengmeng kept hiding behind her grandfather and ignored her.
Cao Zhenghu was very happy when he saw his granddaughter coming in: "Fangfang, are you on vacation?"
"Grandpa, we have a holiday after yesterday afternoon's class, but it's not easy to take a bus. I took the bus back this morning." Cao Huifang said.
Cao Zhenghu waved his hand: "It's okay, as long as you get home!"
Looking at the time, Cao Zhenghu asked his granddaughter: "Have you eaten? If not, there is still food in the kitchen. You can just heat it up."
"Is there any homework?"
Cao Huifang shook her head: "Grandpa, I don't have any homework."
As she spoke, Cao Huifang prepared to go to the kitchen: "Grandpa, let me eat something to fill my stomach first, and then go to the mountain to help my brother later."
"Don't worry about helping. Let's have a full meal first." Cao Zhenghu said.
Mengmeng was still hiding behind her grandfather at this time. She looked at her aunt with her head tilted up, thinking: "With grandpa here, my aunt will not bully me, right?"
But obviously, he thought wrong.
Mengmeng bravely stood up from behind the old grandfather. Before she could stand firm, she felt her body instantly lose weight and fly into the air.
It suddenly took off, causing her to scream immediately.
Mengmeng was in the arms of her aunt Cao Huifang, and she stretched out her little hands toward the old man, hoping that the old man would rescue her from his clutches.
But how could Cao Zhenghu be so fast? Before he could stand up, Cao Huifang left the living room with her niece Mengmeng in her arms and ran to the yard outside.
Cao Huifang was thinking about letting her niece develop a memory, but when Mengmeng came out of the living room and heard the barking of dogs outside, she immediately shouted: "Daha, Dahei, Xiaobai, bite her."
The roar of this voice was very powerful. Daha and Dahei all shook the dog leash and barked at Cao Huifang.
The pug, Xiaobai, was not on a leash. He jumped down from the kennel and ran to Cao Huifang's feet, barking. Cao Huifang was so frightened that she staggered, swayed, and almost fell to the ground.
Cao Zhenghu didn't care at first, but when he saw his granddaughter almost throwing his great-granddaughter to the ground, he was frightened.
"Fangfang, put down Mengmeng quickly, don't throw her." Cao Zhenghu said loudly.
"You're really throwing Mengmeng, be careful your brother beats you up!"
When Cao Huifang heard this, she subconsciously put Mengmeng on the ground.
But the next moment she came to her senses, her brother was still on the mountain and had no control over her.
At this time, Cao Huifang reached out and wanted to hug her niece back. Who knew that Mengmeng was also a little girl? The moment her aunt put her on the ground, she immediately ran towards the grandfather in the living room.
Seeing her aunt chasing after her and trying to hug her, Mengmeng quickly said: "Aunt, if you bully me again, I will ask my father to beat you."
"What the hell?" Cao Huifang was furious and went to the kitchen to heat up the food.
Seeing that it was already getting late, Cao Huifang was not in a hurry to go to the mountain. She opened the refrigerator and made two new dishes for her grandfather and niece Mengmeng to eat. She went to find two more lunch boxes and took the leftovers.
After getting off the box, I stopped making trouble with Mengmeng and walked up the mountain with my lunch box in hand.
When she arrived at the orchard intersection in the south, she saw a dozen people queuing up to bring small pots and plastic bags into the orchard. At that moment, Cao Huifang was particularly surprised.
After letting others go, Cao Huifang came to the door with her lunch box and shouted: "Brother, sister-in-law."
Cheng Xiaolin reacted very quickly. When she heard the sound, she looked back and said, "Fangfang, why are you back?"
"Sister-in-law, I thought you were very busy, so I came back to help you." Cao Huifang said this.
Cheng Xiaolin glanced back subconsciously and asked her: "Fangfang, are you the only one who came back by yourself? Your classmates didn't come to play?"
"Hey, I didn't call them this time, I came back secretly." Cao Huifang said this.
After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Cheng Xiaolin understood instantly.
"That's right, our family is too busy right now and we really can't spare the time to take you out to play." Cheng Xiaolin said a little apologetically.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay!" He put the two lunch boxes on the stone strips next to him and said, "Sister-in-law, these are the dishes I cooked. You go ahead and eat. I'll be busy for a while."
But Cheng Xiaolin didn't give in. She said, "It's okay. You are quite tired after sitting in the car for such a long time. Just rest for a while."
After pushing and pushing, Cao Shujie finally said: "Fangfang, please send the food to our parents."
"Where are they?" Cao Huifang asked.
Cao Shujie pointed inside and said, "They are in the hut, or just over there in the strawberry field. You can find them there."
"Okay, I'll send the food over first and come back later." Cao Huifang walked towards the orchard carrying one of the lunch boxes.
Seeing the remaining lunch box, Cao Shujie said to his wife: "You should eat first. There are not many people at this time. I can do this by myself."
Seeing that his wife still wanted to refuse, Cao Shujie said, "You finish your meal first so you can take over for me later."
Hearing what her husband said, Cheng Xiaolin stopped worrying and hurriedly ate.
One steamed bun was swallowed in three or four bites.
At this time, there is no dignity or etiquette left. Let’s have a full meal first.
After Cao Shujie saw it, he still wanted to say a few words to his wife, but after thinking about it, he swallowed back what he had not said.
He knew that there was no point in speaking out. Instead, he might as well do more work himself so that his wife could have a secure life.
Cao Huifang rushed over soon. When she saw her sister-in-law eating, she quickly helped distribute plastic bags.
When Fu Feng and Du Wenwu came over, it was time for lunch.
According to their simple thinking, they can eat enough by picking two pots of strawberries in the orchard.
But when he took the bus to Caojiazhuang Station and saw the crowded cars on the way up the mountain, Fu Feng finally believed the scene Du Wenwu had described to him.
Before, he thought Du Wenwu's description was a bit exaggerated, but after seeing this scene, he believed that Du Wenwu still had reservations.
"Let's not go up yet. I just saw a place to eat in the north. Let's fill our stomachs first." Fu Feng made a temporary decision.
Du Wenwu would naturally not object.
The two came to the farm restaurant, stood at the door and looked in. Fu Feng and Du Wenwu were stunned at that time.
Du Wenwu also whispered to himself: "Why are there so many people eating?"
"I don't know. Let's go in first and see if there is any open space." Fu Feng said.
The restaurant occupies a very large area, but even so, it was still full of people. The two of them searched back and forth among the crowd and finally found an empty table.
"Xiao Du, I'll sit here and you go order some special dishes." Fu Feng said.
He was worried that if he left, the place would be taken over by someone else.
Du Wenwu nodded and walked directly towards the only house on the east side.
As he walked closer, Du Wenwu spotted an acquaintance.
He was the person who delivered food to Cao Shujie's house when they visited Cao Shujie's house last night.
Wang Leigang also recognized Du Wenwu. He pointed at Du Wenwu enthusiastically and said, "Oh, it's you, little brother. Do you want to eat?"
"Brother, let me order some dishes." Du Wenwu said.
Wang Leigang nodded, he pointed to the small whiteboard behind him and said: "All our special dishes are written on the whiteboard. You can order whatever you want. I'll treat you today."
"Brother, no need, we will reimburse through the public account." Du Wenwu is an honest man.
Wang Leigang didn't expect Du Wenwu to be so down-to-earth. When he thought that the other party was Cao Shujie's friend, he thought to himself: "Sure enough, people are divided into groups. Boss Cao is a good person and his friends are also very powerful!"
After Du Wenwu finished ordering, Wang Leigang said: "At which table number are you sitting?"
"No. 126." Du Wenwu remembered that there was a red label with 126 on the table.
"Okay, you go over there. I will arrange for someone to bring the dishes to you in a moment, and I will give you two bowls of beef soup as a gift." Wang Leigang said.
Du Wenwu returned to table 126 and told the editor-in-chief Fu Feng the matter.
After listening to this, Fu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Cao's friends really have nothing to say!"
Cao Shujie on the mountain didn't know what was happening down the mountain. He was so busy right now that his mouth was dry and his lips were dry.
But he didn't bother to drink water. He picked up a strawberry and threw it into his mouth. In this way, he quenched his thirst and satisfied his hunger!
