The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Waiting for Cao Tiemin to come back happily, he held a small stack of red RMB in his hand and said to Cao Shujie: "I made another 300 yuan per bucket. My business is good, isn't it?"

"Fuck, I made so much money. I must eat it at noon today." Cao Shujie said with a sly smile.

Cao Tiemin pointed at him: "A big boss who makes billions a year is eyeing me, a little bit of melons and dates. You have the nerve to do that."

"There's nothing I can do. We are brothers. If I don't cheat you, who else will I cheat?" Cao Shujie was also helpless.

"Wherever it's cool, go there quickly." Cao Tiemin said.

Cao Shujie didn't care. The two chatted, and this feeling made Cao Shujie very relaxed.

He felt that he hadn't put down everything and communicated with people like this for a long time.

At noon, the two of them had a few drinks in Cao Tiemin's store, but they kept their alcohol tolerance and thought about drinking in the evening.

What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that Cao Zhen and Cao Fei also came back from the city.

"Cao Fei, did you ask for leave?" Cao Shujie asked. .

Cao Fei pouted: "What a joke. I told them I was going back to Pingyuan County Five Star Department Store to do something. I just asked Cao Zhen to take me there first, and we came here after a round."

"You are a typical corrupt person." Cao Shujie said.

But Cao Fei disagreed. He said: "I call this the rational use of power, okay? If you don't use it now, it will expire."

Several people laughed.

It is indeed as Cao Fei said, these are all harmless trifles.

The landlord Cao Tiemin invited the two of them to sit down, and several people chatted, and the topic was mostly about children.

Cao Zhen mentioned something: "Shujie, how are the schools in the town? The school our eldest child went to was only in kindergarten and he knew how to compare. Damn it, what's wrong with the children nowadays?"

He was so angry.

Cao Shujie was puzzled and asked him: "Pamir should have just started school, right? He is so young and is already comparing with others?"

"That's right. Their teacher has set up a parent group. Some people show off in the group every day which unit they work for, and some show off what car they drive and which community they bought their house in. I really don't know what they have to show off. Where does their sense of superiority come from?"

Cao Zhen gestured with his hands: "I tell you, this is not the most outrageous."

He thought of what happened in his daughter's school, with an incredible expression on his face: "You may not know that the children in their school, who are only three or four years old, know what clothes to wear, whose car is good, and whose snacks are good..."

Cao Zhen kept talking. It can be seen that he really didn't like it during this period, but he had no choice.

"It's the same everywhere. This is how society is." Cao Tiemin advised him to be more open-minded.

Cao Zhen just complained, and after he finished speaking, he felt much better.

"Brothers, I'm telling you, I've found that over the years, I can only talk casually with you guys. When I get together with other people, I don't want to say a word." Cao Zhen sighed.

In the past two years, he has made the main branch of 'Xinjiang Restaurant' in Yiling City very big. In addition to opening a store in the Five Star Department Store and a branch in Caojiazhuang, he opened another branch in another newly built New Mart Shopping Center in Yiling City last year. The store is larger than his first store, and the business is so-so.

To be honest, the Caojiazhuang branch has the best business among the three stores.

His life is definitely better than most people, and now his savings are in eight figures.

"Don't talk about those useless things, Cao Zhen, I remember the party in February, didn't you say your wife is pregnant with the second child, what month is the due date?" Cao Shujie asked him.

The last time they met, he forgot to ask.

Speaking of this, Cao Zhen became excited: "In July, or maybe at the end of next month, I will have a caesarean section. It's not certain yet, so we have to wait and see."

"Why do we have to prepare for both?" Cao Shujie frowned.

Then he heard Cao Zhen say: "What should I say? This second child is too troublesome. My wife checked and found that she has a placenta previa, but fortunately it's not dangerous."

"But I have been running to the hospital recently and checking at any time, so as not to be caught off guard if something really happens."

Seeing that Cao Zhen didn't look very nervous, the brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

But Cao Shujie was still very sensitive to 'placenta previa', and it didn't sound good.

He even checked it on the Internet with his mobile phone, and it was not good. No wonder Cao Zhen said just now that his wife might have a caesarean section in June.

While a few people were bragging, Cao Shujie sat next to Cao Zhen and told him: "You should pay more attention. I know Liang Shihong, the vice president of Yiling People's Hospital. If you need anything, you can ask him for help. When the time comes, just say I asked you to go. He will definitely help you find the best obstetrician."

"Okay, with your words, there will be no problem." Cao Zhen said.

"Shujie, thank you." Cao Zhen said.

Cao Shujie directly hit him on the back: "Thank you, drink two more glasses tonight."

"I dare not drink, I have to drive back, ready at any time." Cao Zhen said.

He said this as a drunkard, Cao Shujie understood that his wife's situation was not as easy as he said.

"They are all stubborn." Cao Shujie sighed in his heart.

I don't know when, no one is willing to tell their brothers about their sufferings, and they all keep it in their hearts.

Cao Shujie was thinking, if this goes on, don't hold it in and get sick.

Cao Shulun and Cao Shuyang arrived a little later.

Cao Shulun's company has not been doing well recently. A safety accident just happened, and two people died. The head office personally assigned a safety inspection team to come down for inspection.

People like Cao Shulun, who can be regarded as a small leader, naturally have to be ready at their posts at all times.

As for Cao Shuyang, he no longer has to guard the toll gate. It is said that he took the blame for the leader and was given a verbal warning, and then was transferred to logistics.

But Cao Shuyang didn't look miserable at all, but was a little proud.

In his words, he didn't want to do the hard work of collecting fees in the front, and he often had to work night shifts.

It's so comfortable to work in logistics now. He gets off work at a normal time every day. This alone makes him feel that the blame is worth it.

"Why do you take the blame? Does it have any impact on you? If you don't do it well, go back to Caojiazhuang. I'm really not saying anything bad about you. Why are you hanging around outside? Your hometown is so good." Cao Shujie said.

Several people didn't take up this topic.

Cao Shujie did so well in his hometown that they, his childhood friends, felt pressured.

They felt that they could still chat when they were hanging out outside, but if they all went home to hang out with Cao Shujie, they felt that this relationship might be over.

Seeing that they were silent, Cao Shujie said to them: "You are just being pretentious."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at him with strange eyes.

Cao Zhen also fanned the flames: "Brothers, did you hear that? This guy looks down on you, get him drunk to death tonight."

"Must!" Cao Shuyang said angrily.

...

At night, Cao Shuyang was indeed the one who drank the most with Cao Shujie.

Maybe because of drinking, Cao Shuyang also talked about their stationmaster's violation of regulations. To put it bluntly, it was still corruption, but it was not blocking the car on the highway.

These days, the monitoring is so advanced and the system is also very complete, who dares to do this?

They did something with the logistics, but the matter was discovered by the superiors during the inspection. They found that the accounts and the purchased items did not match. They all knew that there must be something fishy here.

After a while, when it seemed that the stationmaster was about to be investigated, Cao Shuyang came out to take the blame.

In their opinion, it was not a big deal. An internal warning and a deduction of one year's bonus, but this warning would not affect Cao Shuyang's salary increase, evaluation, and promotion next year...

It was clear after hearing this. Cao Shujie also joked with him: "Shuyang, so you will be promoted next year, congratulations."

"Hehe, there is no way. The right way is not feasible, so I can only take the crooked way." Cao Shuyang's words were also helpless.

He worked hard and never saw the end. Who would have thought that he would have to take the crooked way in the end.

Working at a highway toll station is not that easy.

Everyone is basically a relative, so at this time, you have to compete to see who is more ruthless.

It goes without saying that at this stage, he has stood out.

Unless the stationmaster breaks his promise, the things that everyone has tacitly agreed on cannot be realized in the end.

But if that really happens, Cao Shuyang thought that he would definitely have to deal with him in the end, and then resign himself to his fate and return to Caojiazhuang to retire.

Among the six of them, only Cao Zhen did not drink.

Before leaving at night, Cao Zhen drove Cao Fei back to Yiling City.

Cao Shujie did not go back. He found a hotel nearby and stayed there.

The next morning, he drank a bowl of mutton soup in the county town before driving back to Qingshi Town.

When he came to the factory, people from all departments were busy. Cao Shujie went to the human resources office on the second floor and came to Wang Zhifeng. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that he was busy making a phone call.

He had been negotiating with the person on the other end of the phone, and it didn't seem to be going well.

Cao Shujie didn't disturb him, and let him continue to make the call. Cao Shujie pulled a chair and sat down.

After waiting for Wang Zhifeng to finish the call, he reported the situation to Cao Shujie.

Just now, he contacted the other party according to the list that Cao Shujie gave him.

The people with phone numbers could all match their numbers. They all worked in their original units. However, when Wang Zhifeng introduced the situation here and tactfully said that he could give them high salaries, and thought about researching new projects together, the conversation could not go on.

The other party had never heard of their company, let alone that their company had its own experiments.

They always felt that Wang Zhifeng was deceiving them, and they would not take the risk of leaving the institute just to earn the so-called high salary.

"Manager Wang, don't worry, take your time." Cao Shujie comforted him in return.

He also said to him: "If necessary, you can go there in person and talk to the other party face to face, and just say that it was me who said it."

Wang Zhifeng thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"How is your second child? Is he doing well recently?" Cao Shujie asked.

Wang Zhifeng's youngest son just turned 3 months old.

His wife is a standard older mother, over 40 years old, and just caught up with the policy of having a second child. She insisted on having another child, saying that there would be someone to keep the eldest child company.

When the baby was just one month old, they went to join in the fun. The little one was white and plump.

"Hey, she can eat and sleep well, so she is much less troublesome than the eldest one." Wang Zhifeng said.

Cao Shujie nodded: "If you are on a business trip, can your family take care of her?"

"It's not a big problem. I'll hire a nanny for her." Wang Zhifeng said.

Cao Shujie originally wanted to ask why he didn't let his parents look after her, but then he remembered Wang Zhifeng's age. His parents were probably not young anymore, so how could they take care of her?

"Okay, go there in person and talk to them." Cao Shujie said.

Wang Zhifeng did not refuse.

He knew very well that he had to take charge at this time, and he could find a way to overcome the difficulties at home.

Otherwise, why could he get such a high income?

After Cao Shujie left, Wang Zhifeng called his wife and told her that he was going on a business trip, and told his wife that he would be away for about a week this time.

His wife also understood that this was a normal job, and if you want this high income, you must make corresponding efforts.

"I'm fine, I'll find someone to help you these two days, and I'll come back as soon as I'm done." Wang Zhifeng told his wife.

His wife did not object.

The elderly on both sides of their families are very old and they can't take care of them at all.

The eldest child needs someone to pick him up and drop him off at school, and the second child also needs someone to take care of him, so finding someone is the best way.

Wang Zhifeng is already thinking about which relative to ask for help.

He doesn't trust anyone just randomly.

…

After leaving Wang Zhifeng's place, Cao Shujie came to his office, thinking about the person on the list he had just called. Cao Shujie had considered that this would be difficult. The research institute they used to work for was a formal unit anyway.

Each project could get a subsidy from the state. In addition, after completing some projects, they could publish papers themselves and gain both fame and fortune. This was far more tempting to them than a so-called high salary.

Another point was that the research institute he used to work for was in Beijing, and the current laboratory was in an inconspicuous town.

Moreover, when their contributions reached a certain level, the research institute would help them solve the problem of Beijing's household registration. As long as the household registration problem was solved, it would not be a problem for their children to go to school in Beijing, including the college entrance examination in the future. It would be much more convenient to have a Beijing household registration.

From this aspect alone, they might not be willing to leave there.

After all, the school resources in Beijing are not comparable to those in Qingshi Town.

The main reason why Cao Shujie didn't let Mengmeng go to any famous school was that he had let it go and didn't let Mengmeng be so competitive anymore.

Besides, the various assets that the two of them prepared for Mengmeng and her siblings do not require them to work hard.

When the time comes, just don't spend too much money.

As for the rest, when the siblings have their own ideas, Cao Shujie will let them go and let them choose for themselves. (End of this chapter)
