"Which Uncle Xiang?" Cao Jianguo became more and more confused when he heard his son's name. He couldn't remember any of his friends whose surname was Xiang?
But his son went to wash his hands and didn't hear his question.
His daughter-in-law Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "Dad, this is Xiang Yuheng from our city."
"From the city..." Cao Jianguo didn't know how to evaluate his son.
When his son came back after washing his hands and face, Cao Jianguo was curious again and asked his son what was going on.
Cao Shujie didn't know what to say to his father. After some thought, he could only sell more than 6,500 cattle from the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative and make a profit of 110 million yuan. Then someone exposed the matter on the Internet and started talking about it.
He went on to talk about how popular this matter was on the Internet: "Dad, the top ten news on the hot headlines list has been hanging around for a week, do you understand?"
That night, Cao Jianguo couldn't sleep all night. At first, he just felt that he couldn't understand some of his son's operations, but now he felt that even his son couldn't understand it.
…
The next day is Saturday.
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin agreed to go to Chengjiapo's mother-in-law's house in Dayao Town, Dawu County today.
After getting up at around five o'clock in the morning, Cao Shujie took Daha and Erha for a run. After returning home from the dam, he tied the four dog brothers in the kennel. After a simple breakfast, Cao Shujie
I started loading things into the car.
I have to go to Dawu County to buy wine now. Two high-end nutrition gift boxes and a box of half-cured velvet antler flakes, plus two boxes of apples just picked last month, and two boxes of fruit wine, are all put in the trunk.
After finishing his work, Cao Shujie called home: "My wife, Mengmeng, leave quickly."
Her mother, Wang Yuelan, came out of the house and warned her: "Shujie, please drive slowly on the road. Don't be anxious. Call me back when you get there."
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention." Cao Shujie promised.
Cheng Xiaolin came out of the house with her son Cao Yirui in her arms, and Cao Shujie opened the trunk for her to see what she was carrying.
Cheng Xiaolin glanced into the trunk and was surprised when she saw the fruit wine: "Husband, don't you run out of fruit wine?"
"No matter how little we have, we can't lose our parents' share." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
Seeing his daughter Mengmeng come out of the room with her eyes rubbed, Cao Shujie yelled at her: "Mengmeng, hurry up, let's leave as soon as possible."
"Dad, I'm so sleepy. Why don't you go with your mother and brother? I'll sleep at home." Mengmeng said with a yawn.
She didn't even want to move.
When she was a child, she wanted to go out with her parents to play. Now going out is not so attractive. She might as well watch cartoons.
Mengmeng thought to herself that her grandma would not strictly control her when she played at home after her parents left. Then she could watch cartoons for a day.
No, mom and dad won't come back until tomorrow. She can watch them for two days.
Cao Shujie didn't know what his daughter was thinking. He went over to pick up Mengmeng and put her on the left-hand seat in the middle: "Hurry up, if you keep worrying, we'll be in time for lunch."
Mengmeng was very reluctant. When her father said this, she curled her lips and said, "Dad, aren't we just going to grandpa's house to have a meal?"
Cao Shujie felt that this girl was hopeless. What did she think?
Driving towards Dawu County, Mengmeng muttered: "Dad, you've been driving this car for several years and you haven't replaced it yet."
"What do you know, you little kid? This car is still fine. Why should I change it?" Cao Shujie really couldn't think of changing the car now.
Originally, he was still thinking about changing to another car, but slowly, as he became more and more quiet about this idea in the past few years, the thought of changing cars also faded away.
For him, having a car that can drive is enough.
In the words of his wife, it doesn’t matter if he changes to a van. It can haul people and goods, killing two birds with one stone. It’s very cost-effective!
While driving, I unknowingly left Pingyuan County and entered Dawu County.
When driving to the "Ginza" supermarket in the county, Cheng Xiaolin asked him what he was doing.
"How can I buy wine when I only have a gift box and no wine yet?" Cao Shujie said.
Arriving at the Ginza supermarket parking lot, Cao Shujie stopped the car and asked his wife, daughter, and son to wait in the car. He went into the supermarket and moved two boxes of the most expensive local wine into the trunk of the car, and gave them to his nephew Cheng Tiandong.
After buying some snacks, we continued driving towards Chengjiapo, Dayao Town.
It was almost ten o'clock when we arrived at the place.
When the car parked in front of her mother's house, Cheng Xiaolin still held her sleeping son in her arms and looked at the familiar house outside through the car window. She was a little excited.
She came back once during the Chinese New Year, but so far, due to various things, she has never been back once. However, when her mother missed her, she even went to Caojiazhuang.
This made Cheng Xiaolin feel guilty, and secretly blamed herself for neglecting her parents.
Just as she was thinking about something, Li Xiaojuan suddenly walked out of home with a black and white checkered apron tied around her waist.
When she saw this Buick commercial vehicle, Li Xiaojuan quickly walked over and looked inside. As Cao Shujie opened the door and got out, she shouted: "Shujie, why are you here? I have been waiting for you since I fed the cows just now."
.”
"Mom, are you busy?" Cao Shujie greeted his mother-in-law.
The two electric car doors opened, Cheng Xiaolin hugged her son, and Mengmeng got out of the car respectively.
After Li Xiaojuan saw her mother and daughter, she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Hey, Mengmeng and Yi Rui are here too. Linlin, please take them to the house to rest quickly. Don't let them play outside."
Wind, it will be troublesome if you catch a cold by then."
Cheng Xiaolin looked at her son who was still sleeping. She walked home and asked, "Mom, where is my dad?"
"Your dad went to help your brother feed the cows." Li Xiaojuan took her granddaughter Mengmeng's hand and walked home.
Cheng Xiaolin stood there and looked at her mother, always feeling something was wrong: "Mom, my dad has raised more than 20 cows. Who will look after the cows for him?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her mother pointing at herself: "Who else can watch besides me?"
"Besides, there are just 20 cows, and it's not worth hiring another person." Li Xiaojuan sighed.
Every family has its cupboard.
Cheng Xiaolin became more and more confused as she listened: "Mom, what did my brother and the two of them do? Why didn't they watch?"
"Is it possible that they are both lazy? Then I'll call Yun Ping and I'll give him a good deal."
Before the call was made, she heard her mother say: "Linlin, Yingying is pregnant. She was pregnant for a while. She went to the hospital and was told that she had a threatened abortion. She cannot do physical work. Your brother is now
We raise more than 30 cows and it’s too much for one person to handle, so your dad went to help him.”
The first time Cheng Xiaolin knew about this, she heard that her younger siblings almost had a miscarriage. She had been pregnant before and knew how difficult it was to have a baby, so she didn't say anything else, otherwise she would have to talk a lot today.
When Cao Shujie was moving things behind, he also heard what his mother-in-law said, and he was helpless about the situation.
There is nothing I can do to help!
And he also knows that there are many people in this situation now, and the specific reason is unknown!
But Cao Shujie still asked: "Mom, you can't do it alone, right?"
Li Xiaojuan didn't find it difficult. She said: "It's okay. I feed during the day and your dad comes back to feed in the evening. At night, we mix the feed together and put it aside for later use. I will put it into a bucket the next day."
These cows are spreading feed and pasture, so they are not particularly tired."
Cao Shujie frowned slightly, he understood that the most tiring person was his father-in-law Cheng Rengui.
After working for his son's house, he had to work on his own after coming back. The old couple mixed feed all night and had to get up early in the morning to help their son. I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to sleep well in the middle of the night.
Mengmeng had already run towards Li Xiaojuan: "Grandma, I'm here to see you."
When Li Xiaojuan heard this call, her face seemed to overflow with a happy smile.
She originally wanted to squat down and pick up her granddaughter Mengmeng, but after trying a few times, she couldn't hold Mengmeng at all, and she almost broke her waist.
Cao Shujie quickly supported his mother-in-law and asked Mengmeng to step aside.
"Mengmeng, you go to work first." Cao Shujie pointed to the nutritional gift box he placed on the ground: "Take those two boxes into the house."
"Oh!" Mengmeng nodded, scurried over and ran into the house carrying two boxes of gifts.
Cao Shujie saw that his mother-in-law was okay, and then went to get the remaining wine and apples.
Cheng Rengui also knew that his daughter and son-in-law were coming today. At around 11 noon, he came over with his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
However, after they came over, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were shocked to see what their nephew Cheng Tiandong looked like now.
Not to mention anything else, my nephew Cheng Tiandong, who is now almost 1.3 meters tall, has a chubby figure that looks like an inflated ball. He weighs at least 80 pounds.
My daughter, she is only 8 years old now, only one year older than Mengmeng, but she has become a fat ball. Normally, her eyes are narrowed to a slit, and there is no black eyeball at all.
Cheng Tiandong, the nephew in Cao Shujie's impression, has become two different people.
Cao Shujie walked over, raised his hand and put it on Cheng Tiandong's shoulder, squeezing the flesh on his body. It was not firm at all, but full of fat: "Dongdong, you have eaten a lot of good things behind your uncle's back this year."
Cao Shujie originally wanted to hug his nephew, but unexpectedly, the boy ducked away without saying a word.
Then he ran to his mother Liu Yingying and looked at Cao Shujie a little at a loss.
Cao Shujie blinked, feeling that something was wrong. This nephew seemed a little strange to him.
It's like being afraid of strangers and feeling insecure.
"Even if I haven't been here for nearly a year, it won't be like this, right?" Cao Shujie thought in his heart.
Cheng Yunping didn't realize anything was wrong. He came over and greeted Cao Shujie affectionately: "Brother-in-law, you are here. Come and sit down in the house to drink tea."
Liu Yingying was also busy greeting them.
But after Cheng Xiaolin knew that her sister-in-law had symptoms of threatened abortion, she really didn't dare to let her stand for a long time: "Yingying, you should also sit down and rest for a while."
"You're pregnant. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance?" Cheng Xiaolin complained slightly.
"Sister, I didn't let my mother tell me. You don't know, I was very popular during that time. I thought I might not be able to save the child. Later, my mother told me my fortune and said that the less people know about the pregnancy in the first three months,
This thing is better."
Cheng Xiaolin nodded. She also supported her mother's similar statement.
The two started chatting.
"Mom, why did Dongdong become like this?" Cao Shujie had many doubts in his heart. He looked at the right moment and asked his mother-in-law.
Then she heard her mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan tell her some stories she had never heard before.
Her son Cheng Yunping and his daughter-in-law Liu Yingying lost a lot of money because of Cheng Yunping's stock trading. When they were getting divorced, this incident spread throughout the village and had a great impact on their grandson Dongdong.
Originally, Cheng Tiandong's personality had become very cheerful because his parents had returned from abroad and were raising cattle in his hometown to earn money and accompanying him to school.
But his parents quarreled every day because of his father's loss in stock trading. Many good people in the village were laughing at the joke. There were also naughty children in school who teased him about his parents' quarrel and divorce. As time went by,
Dongdong became less and less talkative and more and more introverted.
Cao Shujie had a headache when he heard what his mother-in-law said.
"Mom, haven't you taken Dongdong to see a doctor?" Cao Shujie asked his mother-in-law.
Li Xiaojuan wondered: "Dongdong doesn't have a headache, so why should he see a doctor?"
"See a psychiatrist." Cao Shujie said.
He told his mother-in-law that his nephew's current situation was probably because his parents were quarreling, and his classmates were laughing at him, which put a lot of psychological pressure on him.
surge.
"Mom, we can't put off this matter any longer. You have to take Dongdong to see a doctor first." Cao Shujie told his mother that if the money was not enough, just let him know.
Cao Shujie was about to take out money from his body at that time, but his wallet was still thrown in the armrest box of the car. He only had a mobile phone with him. Now he has regained his proficiency in mobile payment and is able to carry cash more and more.
The less.
He said to his mother-in-law with sincerity: "Mom, the longer Dongdong's situation is delayed, the worse it will be for him, and he will be in big trouble by then."
Li Xiaojuan nodded frequently.
She really didn't know there was a psychiatrist.
But she is not to blame for this. Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, few people go to a psychiatrist to consult whether their mental condition is healthy.
"Mom, Shujie, what are you doing?" Cheng Xiaolin saw her mother and her husband whispering not far away and not coming over, so she called out to them.
Cao Shujie responded: "Here we come."
Li Xiaojuan also walked towards the house.
After coming in, Cao Shujie heard his wife talking about his nephew Cheng Tiandong getting fat.
"Yunping, Dongdong is so fat at such a young age. It will be fine in another two years. If he gets fatter and fatter in the future, it will be a great burden on his body. By then, even the disease will not be cured." Cheng Xiaolin
Said her brother.
Cheng Yunping opened his mouth and looked at his wife subconsciously, not knowing what to say.
Cao Shujie had just been chatting with his mother-in-law for a while, and already knew what happened in the middle. I understood that a few superficial words at this time would not solve the problem at all, so he walked to his wife and grabbed her clothes: "Don't say goodbye first."
