While he was talking, Wang Shouzhi drove to the door of the only two-story building in Caojiazhuang by a familiar road. He stopped the car and said, "Get out of the car."
The four dogs at home also heard the noise outside. When they heard the unfamiliar sound of an engine, the four dogs started barking.
Then Wang Yuelan's voice came from home again: "Who is it?"
"Auntie, it's me, Shouzhi." Wang Shouzhi replied.
Then he opened the door and took the shopping out of the car.
Long Hongxia followed her to get her things, but before she entered the door, Wang Yuelan appeared at the gate.
Seeing her nephew Wang Shouzhi and her niece-in-law Long Hongxia coming together, she had a kind smile on her face: "Shouzhi, you two didn't even say anything in advance when you came, hurry in."
"Auntie, is my brother at home?"
"He just went out and went to the village committee. I called him to come back." Wang Yuelan quickly took out her mobile phone and prepared to call her son.
Wang Shouzhi quickly stopped him: "Gu, don't worry, my brother is probably busy, so you'd better stop calling."
Long Hongxia also called her "aunt", making Wang Yuelan very happy.
"Hongxia, come here often to play."
Seeing her nephew carrying so many things, Wang Yuelan complained about what he was spending the money on: "Just come over and play with nothing from now on."
"That's not okay." Wang Shouzhi definitely didn't do that.
Cheng Xiaolin came out holding Cao Yirui.
Seeing Wang Shouzhi and Long Hongxia coming in, she also smiled and greeted them.
They both called her sister-in-law.
"Shouzhi, Hongxia, you two should sit down and rest for a while." Cheng Xiaolin also urged her mother-in-law to call Cao Shujie.
"Sister-in-law, no need, my brother will be back when he's finished." Wang Shouzhi said.
But Cheng Xiaolin knew her husband's character: "What is he busy with? Welfare benefits have just been paid out, and the transfers to the homes of the elderly in the village and veterans have just been completed. At this time, he is just busy working when he goes out, and he may go drinking again in the evening."
"Mom, please let him come back." Cheng Xiaolin said to her mother-in-law.
Wang Yuelan finally made the call.
Cheng Xiaolin was really right. If it hadn't been for this phone call, Cao Shujie would have been planning to have a drink with Cao Jianlong and the others in the evening.
When his mother called to say that his cousin and sister-in-law were coming, Cao Shujie rebelled on the spot, said goodbye to Cao Jianlong, and rode his electric bike home first.
Who would have thought that a person with tens of millions of dollars in savings in his bank card would ride a crappy electric bike back and forth every day.
As soon as Cao Shujie entered the house, Daha and his four dog brothers barked at him.
"Daha, don't scream!"
Wang Shouzhi, who was drinking tea in the house, also heard the movement in the yard. He opened the door and saw Cao Shujie walking into the house.
"elder brother!"
Long Hongxia also came over and called her brother.
"Shujie, why did you keep chatting at the village committee? If you have nothing to do, you can come back and watch over Yirui for me. I think you just don't want to work." Cheng Xiaolin said to him.
Cao Shujie laughed and said that he really had something to do, how could he avoid taking care of the children.
"Honey, Shouzhi and my siblings are here, please don't accuse me unjustly." Cao Shujie retorted.
"Aren't you escaping?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't even bother to look at her husband.
He said to his son Cao Yirui in his arms: "Son, did you hear that? Your father dislikes you, and day by day he goes out to find others to drink with."
What else could Cao Shujie say? He quickly went over to hug his son and let his wife rest for a while.
Cao Shujie was teasing his son Cao Yirui while chatting with his cousin.
Cheng Xiaolin was also chatting with her younger brother and sister-in-law Long Hongxia.
After chatting, I found out that they were here to invite Wang Yuelan, Cao Jianguo, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin to attend the engagement banquet.
"Are you two getting engaged? When?" Cao Shujie asked with a smile.
Good thing!
Then I heard Wang Shouzhi say that they planned to get engaged on October 1st, the National Day.
"That's good. When the people outside come back, it will be lively." Cao Shujie nodded repeatedly.
However, Wang Shouzhi didn't invite many people. After he told his cousin, Cao Shujie followed up and said, "Shouzhi, you have thought it through very carefully. For matters like engagement, we can just get together with our family. Then what do you plan to do?"
When will you get married?"
"It's hard to say for sure. After we get engaged, my mother will calculate our birth dates to see which day will be good. Anyway, it will be years before." Wang Shouzhi said this.
Wang Yuelan next to her nodded: "Marriage is not a trivial matter. You must plan your life well and seek good luck."
She said: "When your brother Jie and your sister-in-law got married, I paid someone to tell the date. The fortune teller said that they would be rich and prosperous throughout their lives. How accurate was your prediction?"
Cao Shujie wanted to laugh, but if he thought about it carefully, even if he didn't live a new life, his income in his previous life was quite a lot.
With an annual salary of several hundred thousand, his wife can also earn one hundred or eighty thousand a year, which is not enough but more than enough.
In addition, his parents are also very diligent, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he will live a prosperous life.
When Wang Shouzhi heard his aunt talking about this, he was very interested and wanted to seek good luck. He also asked his aunt where he could calculate the date for his cousin.
"That's it..." Wang Yuelan told her nephew the place where she calculated the birthdays of her son and daughter-in-law, and she really hoped that her nephew would live a better life.
Wang Shouzhi silently wrote down this place in his heart.
Talking about their engagement and marriage, it felt like time passed very quickly. It was Cheng Xiaolin who reminded Cao Shujie that Cao Shujie remembered to pick up her daughter from school.
Let Wang Shouzhi and Long Hongxia play at home, and tell them if they can't, go to the orchard on the mountain to pick some apples to eat and take a walk, and he will be back soon.
After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie drove to the town. After picking up Mengmeng, he did not waste any time and ran back with his daughter. He also told his daughter that she would have a good meal tonight.
"Dad, do you want to drink again?" Mengmeng asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
Cao Shujie's face drooped. What is this kid thinking? Does his daughter think he is an alcoholic?
"Mengmeng, why don't you hope dad will get better? Your cousin and aunt are here and they are getting married."
Mengmeng is a little unfamiliar with her cousin, but that doesn't stop her from getting things done.
When she returned home and saw Wang Shouzhi and Long Hongxia, she sweetly called her uncle and aunt, making Long Hongxia very happy.
Seeing Mengmeng, Long Hongxia felt that she was more relaxed and less reserved.
I also gave it to my cousin Cao Shujie. The cousin said that the apples on the mountain are so sweet and that they have never been so delicious elsewhere.
Wang Yuelan asked her son where to eat at night.
"Mom, let's go to Xinjiang Restaurant later. It's owned by Cao Zhen and it tastes pretty good. We've been eating food from farm restaurants before, so let's have a different taste today."
"That's okay, I won't cook anymore." Wang Yuelan said.
Mengmeng asked her father: "Dad, let's go to Xinjiang Hotel for dinner and call us grandpa."
"Okay, you wait at home, I'll call you right away." Cao Shujie started to walk out again.
But Mengmeng didn't listen and had to follow him to the grandpa's house.
Grandpa has been living with me for more than two months since his wife Cheng Xiaolin gave birth to their second child.
Cao Shujie usually brings some things to see his grandfather, and sometimes leaves some money for his grandfather.
When the father and daughter came over, the grandfather was walking in circles in the yard with a cane, walking for exercise. Cao Zhenghu seemed very happy to see the father and daughter come in.
Reach out to greet Mengmeng.
Cao Shujie thought that his grandfather was closer to Mengmeng than to him.
Uncle Cao Jianlin is busy cooking. The 68-year-old uncle is still very efficient in cooking.
Seeing Cao Shujie and Mengmeng coming in, he even called to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, these ribs you bought are really good. I have stewed all these ribs today."
"Uncle, I'll get you some more tomorrow," Cao Shujie said.
"If you can't eat it, don't take so much. Besides, your brothers will be back the day after tomorrow, so they will have to buy it by then. I don't think the freezer at home can accommodate it," Cao Jianlin said.
When Cao Shujie heard his uncle say that his two cousins would be back the day after tomorrow, he was very happy and shouted about having a drink then.
"Dad, why are you drinking again?" Mengmeng took the opportunity to lecture her father.
Cao Shujie was so depressed that he never mentioned drinking.
"Shujie, what are you doing here today?" Cao Jianlin asked his nephew.
"Uncle, my uncle's cousin is getting engaged. The couple came over to give a notice. I asked grandpa to go to dinner with you." Cao Shujie said this.
But Cao Jianlin pointed to the ribs that were almost simmering in the pot and said, "Look, the ribs are almost falling off the bones. You go and eat them. Your grandpa and I won't go."
Cao Zhenghu also said that he would not make it through today.
Cao Shujie then gave up and chatted with his grandfather for a while, then took his daughter back home.
It was getting dark slowly and it was not too early. They walked towards Xinjiang Hotel together.
Xinjiang Hotel is located diagonally opposite the farm restaurant, not far from Cao Shujie's home.
After all, Cao Shujie is also the second owner of this restaurant.
You don’t even have to invest money, you just sit back and collect the money.
Just like a farm restaurant.
For him, choosing to eat at these two restaurants, no matter which one he chooses, is just a matter of left hand and right hand.
This was the first time for Wang Shouzhi to see this hotel. Seeing how luxurious the decoration was, he felt a little guilty.
"Brother, this was just built?"
"The construction started in July and was completed this month. It has a steel structure inside and is built with color steel plates around it. In addition, I am willing to invest money, so the construction should be faster." Cao Shujie said so.
After entering, the people inside saw Cao Shujie coming and took them directly to the private room.
Cao Zhen specifically confessed that everyone knew that Cao Shujie was the second boss.
When ordering, Cao Shujie asked them if they had any taboos, and handed over the menu. After they finished ordering, Cao Shujie added some special dishes in the restaurant.
His father, Cao Jianguo, came relatively late.
However, knowing that his nephew and niece-in-law were coming, Cao Jianguo went home and changed into clean clothes before coming.
Cao Jianguo was also very happy when his nephew said he was getting engaged on October 1, and asked his wife Wang Yuelan to hurry up and prepare a gift.
"Shou Zhi, I have been waiting for the news of your marriage. I have prepared the red envelopes," Cao Jianguo said.
"Do you want to drink?" Cao Jianguo asked him.
Wang Shouzhi waved his hand and told his uncle the truth.
I want to have a child as soon as possible, and I have recently given up smoking and drinking.
Cao Shujie thought about how his cousin drank a lot when Guan Boyong entertained guests some time ago. He originally thought that his cousin would drink a little tonight, but he didn't know that he suddenly stopped drinking.
He didn't force it, so he went home and got some apple cider vinegar. He thought it was too monotonous, and got some freshly squeezed juice from the restaurant.
Cao Shujie originally wanted to let the two of them stay at home that night, but Long Hongxia felt embarrassed because they had to leave, so they didn't stay together for too long at night.
After eating, they chatted here until almost 9 o'clock. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them drove back.
Wang Yuelan also remembered the day of her nephew's engagement.
Seeing that her nephew was also getting engaged, her daughter Cao Huifang was the only one left who had not yet found her.
Wang Yuelan was worried about her daughter.
I was thinking that that damn girl is still staying in Shencheng and is unwilling to come back. When she is willing to come back in two years, she will be older. Will it be easy to find a partner by then?
When she thought of this, Wang Yuelan's desire to not let her daughter look for someone outside faded away.
She thought that it would be fine if her daughter Cao Huifang could meet someone she liked in Shencheng. It didn't matter whether the housekeeper was from out of town, as long as the two people could talk to each other and have a good relationship.
After the change in her mind, she wanted to call her daughter immediately, ask about the situation during this period, and urge her to find a partner. But seeing that it was already past 9 o'clock, Wang Yuelan was thinking about her daughter again.
I should have fallen asleep from exhaustion at this point, so I'd better call again tomorrow.
Before going to bed, Wang Yuelan was still thinking about whether her daughter would be back during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This is just the first traditional holiday for me when I start working. If she doesn’t come back, will she not come back for the Spring Festival or next year’s festival?
If her daughter really finds a partner out of town, will it be more difficult to come back when they get married and have children of their own?
Thinking of this, Wang Yuelan felt a little suffocated again.
Another thought arose in her mind to stick to her own ideas.
These two thoughts have been fighting in Wang Yuelan's heart, keeping her awake all night.
I don't know how much time passed, but the sky outside became darker. Occasionally there was movement on the road, which caused a burst of barking. Wang Yuelan fell asleep when she was so sleepy that she couldn't stand it anymore.
The mother's worry about her son traveling thousands of miles is the most perfect interpretation in Wang Yuelan.
…
Cao Huifang, who was far away in Shenzhen, could not understand what her mother was feeling at this time.
However, Cao Huifang is still busy in the company. Although it is already past 9 o'clock in the evening, there is a problem today. The work is not finished yet, and the entire department is working overtime.
Her leader, senior director-level engineer Fang Zhu, did not leave at this time. He was thinking hard in his office about how to solve the problem.
This problem is very difficult, and the company has asked them to come up with a plan as soon as possible in the past few days. Whether it is Fang Zhu, Cao Huifang, or the other six engineering and technical personnel, they are all working under tremendous pressure to overcome the difficulty.
After staying up until about 10 o'clock in the evening, Cao Huifang felt that it was a little blurry to look at the computer screen. The problem finally became clearer. Everyone gathered together to discuss and prepare for a brainstorming session.
