The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Unknowingly, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Yuelan started loading things into the car for her daughter early in the morning.

Today Cao Huifang is going to visit Tong Jiayi's house. This was agreed years ago. Tong Jiayi came to their house to pay New Year's greetings. Cao Huifang will go there after the new year.

Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo were very satisfied with Tong Jiayi, their prospective son-in-law, and could not fault him.

From their perspective, they also considered settling their marriage as soon as possible.

The things they brought there were prepared by the couple. They didn't take any more meat or other things. Wang Yuelan kept telling her daughter to be calm in everything after she went there and not to lose her temper.

Cao Huifang felt helpless when she heard what her mother said. She always felt that her mother still treated her like a child.

He saw his daughter-in-law's bodyguard Wu Shangying get into the driver's seat, and her daughter Cao Huifang get into the passenger seat and drive away in her Magotan.

Wang Yuelan still felt a little uneasy, and Cao Jianguo looked a little disappointed.

In the past, he was worried that his daughter would not be able to get married, but now he always felt that his daughter might get married at any time and leave the family. At this time, Cao Jianguo began to worry about gains and losses again.

He couldn't explain how he felt in his heart, but Cao Jianguo knew that one day.

Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin did not come out to see them off at home. For Cao Shujie, these things were already a given and he could no longer stop them.

Besides, he is quite satisfied with Tong Jiayi.

At this time, Cao Shujie could only wish his sister a better life in the future.

…

"Dad, is my aunt getting married soon?"

"Dad, will my aunt have a baby after she gets married?"

"Dad, how can my aunt give birth to a baby?"

"Auntie, will you still play with me in the future?"

"Dad, why don't you speak?"

Mengmeng, who was standing next to her, seemed to have a hundred thousand whys, which annoyed Cao Shujie: "Why don't you ask your aunt?"

Cheng Xiaolin took her daughter downstairs.

…

On the way from Caojiazhuang to Hejian, the total distance is more than 340 kilometers. If the journey goes smoothly, it will take about 4 hours.

On the way, Cao Huifang and Wu Shangying talked. Cao Huifang was very grateful to Wu Shangying for accompanying him to the river.

She also knew that her brother was worried.

As for her sister-in-law's bodyguard, Cao Huifang had also seen her kung fu, and Cao Huifang was petrified at that time. She didn't expect that a chopstick in Wu Shangying's hand could penetrate the thin iron sheet.

With this power, it would be very easy for a chopstick to penetrate a human body. There is no need to think too much about the consequences.

Because of this, Cao Huifang was curious about how she did it?

But Wu Shangying didn't say anything, so Cao Huifang didn't ask any more questions.

Halfway through, Tong Jiayi called Cao Huifang and asked her where she was.

After Cao Huifang looked at the road signs and told him a place name, Tong Jiayi also told her to pay attention to safety on the road.

They had breakfast at home in the morning and set off at 8 o'clock. It was already 11 o'clock in the morning when they arrived in Hejian. They drove for more than half an hour from Hejian City to the countryside where Tong Jiayi's home is located.

Finally, the car parked in front of Tong Jiayi's house. Seeing Tong Jiayi who had been standing at the door waiting for her, Cao Huifang smiled unconsciously on her face.

But when she saw a middle-aged woman standing next to Tong Jiayi and another young woman who was much older than Tong Jiayi, she became nervous again.

She knew Tong Jiayi's mother, but she had never met Tong Jiayi's sister.

"That should be his sister, right?"

While Cao Huifang was thinking about this problem, Wu Shangying had already opened the car door, and Cao Huifang also got out of the car from the passenger side.

Tong Jiayi saw her coming down and quickly walked around the front of the car to greet her. Mother and daughter Zheng Suying and Tong Qingmei first saw Wu Shangying coming out of the driver's seat, and then saw her son (brother) going to the passenger side to greet someone. Also followed.

Although Cao Huifang had already had a WeChat video chat with Zheng Suying before, when they actually met, both parties still felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

Cao Huifang and Tong Qingmei met for the first time. Fortunately, Tong Jiayi introduced them. After the initial embarrassment between the two parties, Zheng Suying enthusiastically held the hand of her future daughter-in-law and asked her to go home first.

They were also very confused about Wu Shangying who was driving. Who is this person?

Then they heard Cao Huifang introduce that it was her Sister Wu. Zheng Suying and the others had many questions in their minds, but they did not neglect Wu Shangying.

When she saw Wu Sangying opening the trunk and taking things out, Zheng Suying kept asking why she was taking so many things.

Tong Qingmei has been observing her sister-in-law at this time.

It was the first time for her and Cao Huifang to meet each other. There was no definite feeling between the two of them, but they were not in a position to show off to each other as soon as they met.

Tong Qingmei was particularly enthusiastic about Cao Huifang's arrival. She hoped that her brother would quickly find a suitable partner to get married and let her parents settle their worries. How could she kick out the 'prospective sister-in-law' who came to the door again?

After a while, Tong Zhanxin and Du Xuexing, who were at home, heard the noise outside and followed them out.

Tong Jiayi's family attached great importance to Cao Huifang's arrival.

The meal was already prepared, and they were also counting the time for Cao Huifang to come over. Not long after Cao Huifang arrived, they welcomed her to the table.

Wu Shangying sat down together.

As Cheng Xiaolin's bodyguard, Wu Shangying was not used to eating with her, but Tong Jiayi's family did not regard her as an outsider. In addition, Cao Huifang never introduced Wu Shangying's identity as a "bodyguard". During the meal, Tong Jiayi Her parents, sister, and brother-in-law have always treated Wu Shangying as Cao Huifang's family.

Wu Shangying and Cao Huifang were two women, so they stopped drinking. Tong Jiayi's sister, Tong Qingmei, brought out the juice she had prepared in advance.

Everyone from Cao Huifang came over, naturally with the goal of finally getting married.

After the meal was almost done, Zheng Suying also expressed her desire to meet Cao Huifang's parents.

Cao Huifang did not express her position directly, but said that she would talk to her parents after returning home.

Tong Jiayi didn't dare to be so impetuous and start setting a time for his parents to meet, because it also involved his boss Cao Shujie. Tong Jiayi couldn't think that just because Cao Shujie would become his uncle, he could be unscrupulous and not have to pay attention to any rules. .

On the contrary, at this time, Tong Jiayi became more cautious and must seek his boss's opinion in advance.

Zheng Suying was a little suspicious of her son's performance. She always felt that her son still maintained a certain distance from the fact that they wanted to meet their in-laws.

I couldn't figure out what was going on, but Zheng Suying didn't express her position in a hurry.

Originally, Zheng Suying thought that her son and Cao Huifang were already living together. After all, many families in their village came back with their wives. Although the wedding had not been held yet, they all lived together.

As people of the new era, they don't have the traditional and stubborn view, but Cao Huifang came with Wu Shangying. After the two of them had dinner and chatted for a while, they also expressed their intention to go back in the afternoon. .

Zheng Suying was surprised when she learned about this, but she was not surprised to see her son. Zheng Suying couldn't help but have other thoughts in her heart.

Could it be that her son and each other were still 'pretending to be a couple' as the neighbor said?

However, before Cao Huifang left, she said to Zheng Suying: "Auntie, I will tell my parents when I go back. Then you can choose a day and come to our place for two days."

Hearing what Cao Huifang said, Zheng Suying suddenly felt a little ashamed and felt dirty for her own thoughts.

…

Watching Wu Shangying and Cao Huifang come in a hurry and go back in the afternoon, Tong Qingmei squinted as her future sister-in-law's car disappeared from sight. She turned around and asked her brother: "Chiayi, tell me honestly about your partner's family. What is it for?"

"Her brother is an orchardist and cattle farmer." Tong Jiayi re-introduced what he had told his parents before.

He heard her brother say that his sister-in-law's family had hundreds of acres of orchards and raised more than 2,000 beef cattle and more than 2,000 cows. This was exactly the same as what his mother had told him before.

But Tong Qingmei felt that this matter was not that simple: "That's all?"

When Tong Qingmei saw her brother nodding, she seemed to be saying to herself: "Why do I think that woman named Wu looks like her driver?"

Tong Qingmei observed for a long time, and she found that Wu Shangying had been following Cao Huifang, almost never leaving.

In Tong Qingmei's view, this is abnormal.

Tong Jiayi glanced at his sister in surprise, thinking that you were observing very carefully, but he did not say more about this issue.

Zheng Suying heard her daughter's question and thought about it carefully. It was indeed the same as what her daughter said.

But she didn't think much about it at the time.

But Tong Qingmei kept chasing her brother and wanted to find out what was going on.

Tong Qingmei always felt subconsciously that her brother must be hiding something.

Tong Qingmei's intuition was really accurate this time. Tong Jiayi was so annoyed by his sister, and thought that his parents and Cao Huifang's parents were about to meet, this time he didn't hide it anymore and spoke out.

"Her brother is my boss." Tong Jiayi said.

This sentence made Zheng Suying and Tong Zhanxin who were drinking tea dumbfounded.

The old couple never expected this outcome.

Even Du Xuexing, who was drinking tea with his father-in-law, had a dull expression on his face and looked at his brother-in-law Tong Jiayi in disbelief.

After Zheng Suying came to her senses, she was very anxious and asked him: "Chiayi, isn't it? Didn't you say that her brother's family raises cattle and grows orchards? Didn't you go to a new laboratory? Didn't you go to give If their family raises cows, they can’t give you 1 million a year, right?”

No matter which way you look at it, it doesn't make sense.

Tong Jiayi scratched his head, thinking about how to better explain this matter to his family.

At this time, Tong Jiayi thought that if he confessed from the beginning, there wouldn't be so many things and he wouldn't have to worry so much?

In the end, Tong Jiayi explained the situation from the beginning.

It would be bad if there were any misunderstandings between his parents, Cao Huifang's parents, and his boss Cao Shujie when they actually met.

When Tong Jiayi told these things, Zheng Suying, Tong Zhanxin, and Tong Qingmei felt that it was even more outrageous than watching a TV series.

"Jiayi, you mean it was Fangfang's brother who spent 1 million to poach you?" his brother-in-law Du Xuexing asked.

Tong Jiayi nodded and said crisply: "My boss did grow orchards and raise cattle at first, but after he made a fortune later, he set up a fruit deep processing factory in the town, and last year he started to build a laboratory. Our main The research direction is nutrient solution for crops. ”

"You mean the advertisement that's always on TV, is that your product?" Zheng Suying asked.

As a down-to-earth farmer, Zheng Suying is more concerned about this aspect.

Before her son confessed, she really didn't know that her son was researching that product.

When she saw her son nod his head in acknowledgement, Zheng Suying felt that the amount of information today was too much and she couldn't accept it.

"So is your relationship with Fangfang real? Or is it fake? Does your boss agree?" Zheng Suying is more concerned about this.

If her son's relationship with the other party is a farce, Zheng Suying thinks it's better to let her son come back and find a new job, and then honestly find a partner to get married and start a family.

They don't covet 1 million a year.

Who knows how much grievances her son suffered in it!

Tong Jiayi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly clarified to his mother that this income had nothing to do with his relationship with Cao Huifang.

"Mom, these are two different things." Tong Jiayi said with certainty.

But Zheng Suying's heart was still very confused, and today's incident made her unable to calm down in a short time.

Even Zheng Suying was not in a hurry to meet with her in-laws to discuss the marriage of her two children.

She had only one thought in her mind: "The family conditions of her future daughter-in-law are so good, is it really suitable for her son to be with her? Will her son really be happy in the future?"

Zheng Suying has not reached the point where she doesn't care whether her son is happy or not just to get married.

Zheng Suying can't sleep tonight.

Not to mention her, even Tong Zhanxin, Tong Qingmei and Du Xuexing are not so optimistic about Tong Jiayi's relationship at this moment.

They think this doesn't make sense. They are just an ordinary family. How can Tong Jiayi date someone with such good conditions?

……

Wu Shangying and Cao Huifang left Tong Jiayi's house at around 3 pm. After getting on the highway, it was smooth at first, but before leaving the territory of Beihe Province, they encountered a car accident and were blocked, and the blockage lasted for more than two hours.

After the highway was opened, it was dark. In addition, Cao Huifang was not in a hurry to go home because she had not rested well today. They got off the nearest highway and found a hotel to stay in.

Cao Huifang called her mother Wang Yuelan on WeChat to chat with her, explaining the situation to her, especially what happened at Tong Jiayi's house this afternoon.

This was what her mother had been looking forward to. When Wang Yuelan heard her daughter say that Tong Jiayi's parents also wanted to meet them, she would definitely agree.

And she told her daughter to ask the other party to choose an auspicious day.

"Mom, Brother Tong is still at home. I will call him later to tell him." Cao Huifang said.

On the other side, Cheng Xiaolin also received a call from Wu Shangying. After listening to Wu Shangying's report on today's events, she also specifically mentioned the accident that occurred on the highway on the way back this afternoon, and that they were now stranded in Beihe Province and had not returned.

Cheng Xiaolin also told them to pay attention to safety.

At this time, Cheng Xiaolin was also somewhat fortunate. If her sister-in-law went alone, this matter would be a bit troublesome.

Wu Shangying and Cao Huifang continued their journey after breakfast the next morning, and did not return to Caojiazhuang until noon.

Seeing his sister coming back, Cao Shujie also teased her why she did not come back with Tong Jiayi.

"Brother, I haven't gotten married yet."

"I know, I know, you will come back together after you get married?" Cao Shujie continued.

Cao Huifang couldn't stand her brother, and didn't even want to take the things in the car, and prepared to go home.

Cao Shujie also asked her if she still wanted the homestead in the village?

"Yes, do you want to divide the homestead now?" Cao Huifang stopped walking home, looked back at her brother and asked.

She has always been obsessed with the homestead in Caojiazhuang.

And Cao Huifang didn't want to move her household registration out after getting married.

Besides, she and Tong Jiayi have discussed that they will definitely spend more time in Yiling City in the future. It would be a stupid move to transfer Caojiazhuang's household registration to Yiling City.

Cao Shujie told his sister that the village plans to allocate a new batch of homesteads during this period and is applying for it.

It's said to be an application report, but it's just a facade.

Everyone knows about this. The town knows that it was Cao Shujie who proposed it, so they won't deliberately block it.

There's no way, Cao Shujie has a big face.

"Okay, I'll leave you a piece when the time comes." Cao Shujie agreed happily.

This is one of the few times he misappropriated his private rights, but Cao Shujie thinks it's okay.

No matter who said this, Cao Shujie is like this.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Xuemeng Food Factory opened normally.

Cao Shujie also ended this year's Spring Festival holiday and came to the factory. As in previous years, he first gave all employees red envelopes for the Spring Festival.

This is also a scene that all employees in the factory are looking forward to.

For them, no matter how much money the boss gives them, they are happy, mainly for the atmosphere.

But when they received the red envelope and opened it to see the 500 yuan inside, everyone was still so happy that they didn't know what to do.

The boss is generous, this is the consensus of everyone in the factory.

If others said that they would share the money with all employees, they would definitely not believe it.

But if it was Cao Shujie who said this, the employees in the factory believed it, and Cao Shujie has always done this.

However, after receiving the red envelope for the start of work, another email was sent to each department.

That was sent from the General Manager's Office, notifying all departments to hold a company-wide staff meeting on the tenth day of the first lunar month. Cao Shujie will share with everyone in the company the achievements made by Xuemeng Food Factory last year and the challenges faced this year.

This is also what most people in the company are looking forward to. They only know that the company had good business in the first half of last year and joined the export trade in the second half.

According to common sense, as long as the development is stable, the future will not be too bad.

However, at the beginning of this year, with the trade war launched on the other side of the ocean, the domestic economic situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Compared with last year, their factory's shipments were also affected. Everyone was uneasy.

They didn't even know where to go.

At this time, everyone needed a shot of confidence. They wanted to hear about the brilliant achievements the company had made last year. (End of this chapter)
