The leisurely life of a reborn dad

When watching his childhood friend leave, Cao Shujie remembered something and asked him to wait a moment. He then trotted to the kitchen freezer and took out a bag of cut venison and asked him to take it back.

"I raised a sika deer on the mountain. I killed it some time ago. You can take it back and try it. I will kill another one in two days. You can come and get some fresh meat." Cao Shujie said so.

Cao Zhen didn't bother to be polite with him and left with it.

The two of them were not so particular.

After seeing Cao Zhen off, Cao Shujie started to prepare for the New Year.

Thinking that many people would come to play after the New Year, Cao Shujie must prepare more in advance.

But remembering what his childhood friend said just now that Bitcoin was falling again, Cao Shujie smiled and let Bitcoin fall as much as he could. He started selling from more than 7,000 US dollars per coin and kept selling it at 20,000 US dollars per coin. He had sold all the planned coins and he didn't plan to sell the rest.

In addition, this time was different from the last time. Cao Shujie didn't plan to buy back the 8,400 coins he sold.

When there is a high price later, he will continue to sell another batch. It is impossible to keep it, and he will only continue to ship it out.

In Yiling City, Cao Huifang and Tong Jiayi were walking in the mall together, buying things for Tong Jiayi to take back to his hometown in a few days.

Some of them were purchased by Tong Jiayi himself, and some were bought by Cao Huifang for him to take back.

"You really don't want to go back with me, my mother has been looking forward to you going?" Tong Jiayi asked her.

Cao Huifang smiled and said, "I won't go before the New Year. I will go again after the New Year."

"Okay, I will pick you up then." Tong Jiayi got it this time.

His family is in a small town under Hejian in Beihe Province, which is next to Dongshan Province. This time Wang Yuelan no longer mentioned marrying far away.

The main reason is that the son-in-law works in her son's factory. In the long run, he won't be too far away. Moreover, her daughter and son-in-law have bought houses in Yiling City. Although they are not around, they are not as far away as her daughter's previous work in Shenzhen City, which was thousands of kilometers away.

If they really want to, it will be convenient for the old couple to drive to the city.

When Cao Huifang heard that Tong Jiayi said he would come to pick her up, she waved her hand and said, "No, I will go with Sister Wu."

Sister Wu is Wu Shangying, her sister-in-law's bodyguard.

Cao Huifang told her brother that she would go to Tong Jiayi's house after the New Year.

Cao Shujie is not a stubborn person, nor is he an old tradition. He agreed to this kind of thing, but he also said that Wu Shangying should accompany her.

"That's fine." Cao Huifang agreed.

Tong Jiayi was going to buy some meat to take home, but Cao Huifang said to him directly: "Brother Tong, don't buy meat. My brother will kill another cow in two days. You can take some beef back then."

Tong Jiayi hesitated after hearing this, and always felt that this was not a good idea.

But Cao Huifang said to him: "This is what my brother said. You can go home to get it in two days."

Hearing Cao Huifang's words, Tong Jiayi felt relieved and nodded: "Then I will go."

I still have to take some things.

In the following time, in addition to buying things to take home, I also have to go to Cao Shujie again before the New Year to get things.

In the past, I went there in the name of reporting to the boss, but this time I went to visit him in the name of a private visit, and the two of them discussed what to buy.

Cao Huifang did not say that it was okay to go empty-handed. She was not ignorant, and she had a good discussion with Tong Jiayi, including things for grandpa, things to buy for parents, and things to buy for nephews and nieces.

"Don't take the wine. My brother said that you haven't drunk the wine you just bought for him last time, and he asked you to take a few boxes of fruit wine home when you leave." Cao Huifang told him.

These were the exact words her brother said to her two days ago.

Cao Huifang knew that her brother did this for her.

After they finished shopping and had a meal together, Tong Jiayi drove her back to Zizhuyuan Community, and then he drove away and returned to his own community.

The house that Wang Yuelan bought for her daughter started to be renovated in June. It has been 7 months so far, and the house has been renovated long ago. Cao Huifang moved from her good sister's place to live by herself in December.

But when making videos, the two of them will still get together. Occasionally, when they have nothing to do, they will go shopping and have a meal together.

Knowing that Cao Huifang and Tong Jiayi are in love, Deng Miaoshan has also been considering personal emotional issues recently.

But she has no clue for the time being.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Deng Miaoshan feels the pressure of being urged to get married again. She called Cao Huifang and asked her to find a time to get together.

…

"Dad, help me." Mengmeng held a few bottles in her hand and asked her father for help.

This is the winter vacation homework assigned by the teacher, asking them to use various bottles to make a new three-dimensional pattern.

Mengmeng studied the bottles over and over again, but she couldn't figure out what to do. However, her mother Cheng Xiaolin gave her a suggestion and asked her to try making a rocket.

Mengmeng's hands-on ability is still quite strong, but it's still a bit uncoordinated when she really does it. When she used double-sided tape to stick the bottles, it looked crooked no matter how she looked at it.

After telling Cao Shujie, Cao Shujie called her over, and the father and daughter took scissors and started working together.

Cao Yirui saw that his father and sister were busy, so he also joined in and made things worse.

Cao Shujie didn't care, but Mengmeng was very angry and kept yelling at her brother. The siblings looked like they were going to fight.

Cao Shujie thought to himself that when you two get together, you will never be honest.

"Rui Rui, can you beat your sister?" Cao Shujie called his son over and tried to reason with him.

But the boy didn't appreciate it, turned his head to the side, and didn't buy it at all.

He also shouted that he would fight back sooner or later.

"Try to say it again." Meng Meng pointed at his brother and said.

Cao Yirui still wanted to be tough, but seeing the fierce light in his sister's eyes, he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.

Finally, he said: "Humph, what's the big deal, I can't leave."

After saying that, he didn't care about his sister at all and turned around and left.

"I'll tell grandpa, sister, you bully me." Cao Yirui seemed to have found a backer.

Cao Shujie saw this scene all the way and laughed and cried.

He also admitted that he was still very decisive at the critical moment (when he was about to be beaten), and knew to admit his weakness, which was also worthy of praise.

Cheng Xiaolin and her mother-in-law prepared New Year's goods for the New Year together, and this year they prepared more things than in previous years.

Wang Yuelan also kept telling her daughter-in-law to buy more things and go to Mengmeng's grandmother's house first.

"Mom, don't worry, we have everything at home." Cheng Xiaolin said.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the Caojiazhuang market seems particularly lively. The special market with the Spring Festival as the theme makes people feel the joy of the upcoming festival as soon as they go there.

Cao Shujie and his wife also went to the market during this period and bought a lot of things.

In addition, he didn't lack anything, so it was still very simple to take some from home and send them to his mother-in-law's house.

Wang Yuelan didn't say anything more when she heard her daughter-in-law say this.

She just told her daughter-in-law not to forget it.

In the first few years, they had been spending the New Year outside, and Cao Yirui was young at that time, so he basically didn't go to Chengjiapo before the New Year, but now he didn't go out again, and Cao Yirui was older, so he couldn't not go again.

When Wang Yuelan saw her son, she also specifically told him not to forget this matter.

"Okay, mom, don't worry." Cao Shujie said.

The next day, Cao Shujie told Cao Jianjun and slaughtered two more cows. Some relatives at home wanted to give some as gifts, his own friends also wanted to give some as gifts, and the employees in the cattle farm also wanted to share some. Cao Shujie has always been generous in this regard.

This year is different from previous years. His future brother-in-law will go home and bring some back.

Since his parents agreed, Cao Shujie did not act pretentiously. Moreover, Cao Shujie also recognized Tong Jiayi's ability and character. As for what will happen in the future, if the couple will turn against each other after a long time, no one can tell.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Magotan bought for her by his sister Cao Huifang came back, and Tong Jiayi then drove a car to bring a car of New Year's goods.

Wang Yuelan was very happy to see her future son-in-law coming, and asked him to bring these things back home, but was stopped by Cao Huifang.

"Mom, this is what Brother Tong bought for Grandpa and you, and for Mengmeng and Ruirui." Cao Huifang pulled her mother aside and whispered.

"There are too many things." Wang Yuelan said.

However, when Tong Jiayi left after dinner at home, Cao Shujie put more things in his bag.

There were more than 50 kilograms of beef and 20 kilograms of venison, which made Tong Jiayi embarrassed.

In addition, there were three boxes of preserved fruits produced in the factory, and Fan Hailiang gave Cao Shujie a box of hand-made fruit wine, apple, red heart and yellow heart kiwi, and strawberry flavored fruit wine.

He also put a box of deer blood wine in his bag.

Other things were not put in, but these things that you can't buy outside are already worth a lot of money.

After seeing Tong Jiayi off, Cao Shujie also drove his wife and children to Chengjiapo to visit the old couple.

He put down the New Year's goods he brought over, and left them holiday money by the way. He stayed in Chengjiapo on the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

When he came back from Chengjiapo the next morning, someone in Caojiazhuang had already started to post Spring Festival couplets on the gate.

The trees on both sides of the main road from south to north in Caojiazhuang are also hung with red lanterns and colorful light strips. Before the Spring Festival, the festive atmosphere can be felt in advance.

Moreover, from time to time, there are bursts of cheerful music and the sound of gongs and drums coming from the courtyard of Caojiazhuang Village Committee. Those are people who are preparing the program. They are still doing the final rehearsal despite the severe cold.

On New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, they will present a wonderful performance to the villagers.

At this moment, not to mention the people of Caojiazhuang, even the people of several surrounding villages are waiting patiently.

They envy the changes in Caojiazhuang and feel sad about the eternal appearance of their own village.

For the people of Caojiazhuang, they really feel that their lives are getting better day by day, and they are grateful to the person who has led their whole village to change.

Things like the village holding its own program have never happened before. This year, in order to let the people feel the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival more, the Caojiazhuang Village Committee also paid a high price to invite the county's performance team.

As soon as the car stopped, Wang Yuelan heard the noise outside and ran out of the house. Seeing them coming back, Wang Yuelan said, "Why are you back so soon? Why don't you stay there for another day? You can come back tomorrow."

"Mom, it's nothing. We've finished what we should be busy with. It's a nuisance for us to stay there. Come back and prepare." Cheng Xiaolin said.

That said, Wang Yuelan still felt that it was not easy to go back, so she should spend more time with the elderly.

Put yourself in their shoes. As they get older, they can feel that people need more company when they get old.

"Grandma, hug me." Cao Yirui ran to his grandmother and opened his arms for her to hug.

Wang Yuelan bent down and picked him up, and said to her grandson: "Did you eat too much at your grandma's house last night? How come you are so heavy that I can hardly hold you."

"Hehe!" Cao Yirui laughed and told his grandmother what he had eaten.

Seeing the little guy's serious look, Wang Yuelan still praised: "Is it because your grandma's cooking is more delicious?"

"My mother is really good at talking." Cao Shujie said to his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin also had a bright smile on her face. While watching her mother-in-law help her coax her son, she listened to what her husband said and responded: "That's right, mom has always been like this, not like you who are so stubborn."

Before entering the house, Cao Jianguo shouted at home: "Shujie, come in quickly when you come back. It's cold outside. Don't let Linlin and the two children freeze."

Cao Shujie couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard what his father said, thinking that he had no human rights in this family.

…

In a township below Hejian in Beihe Province, Tong Jiayi drove back from Yiling City with the New Year goods he bought. It was already the afternoon of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the road, he met many cars returning. When he entered the village, Tong Jiayi also met his old classmates. However, he was in a hurry to go home and did not stop to chat. He was still thinking about putting down his things and going to play with them.

When he arrived at the door of his house and looked at the old house, Tong Jiayi's memories were instantly pulled back to his childhood.

He was born and raised here, and stayed in Beijing to work after graduation.

Working at the Beijing Agricultural Science Research Institute, he was only given more than 100,000 yuan a year at the beginning. After deducting insurance and provident fund deductions, the actual amount he received was not very high.

In the next two years, the salary increased a little every year, and sometimes he could get more bonuses for completing projects. When he was poached by Xuemeng Food Factory, he received more than 200,000 yuan a year, but this money was actually not much in Beijing.

After all, rent and daily expenses are the bulk of the money.

Tong Jiayi had always wanted to help his family renovate the house after earning money, but he had no money before.

Now he finally has the ability.

He was still thinking about the next arrangement, and the dog at home had already started barking, and then a woman's voice came: "Who is it?"

"Mom, it's me." Tong Jiayi responded. This voice was too familiar, and he didn't think of anyone else at all.

Not long after, a woman who looked old came out of the house. It was Tong Jiayi's mother Zheng Suying, an old woman who was less than 60 years old, but looked like 70 years old.

The skin on her face was tanned and rough because of working in the fields for many years.

But when she saw her son coming back, Zheng Suying showed a happy smile on her face.

She also looked back: "Jiayi, didn't you say you had a date? Your date didn't come?"

When Zheng Suying was talking to her son on the phone, she learned about this from her son and kept thinking about it, especially wanting to see her daughter-in-law as soon as possible.

"Mom, Fangfang will come after the New Year. I came back by myself first." Tong Jiayi said helplessly.

"After the New Year, which day of the first lunar month will she come? I have to tell your dad that you must not go out to visit relatives at that time." Zheng Suying asked anxiously. (End of this chapter)
