The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"Yes, Uncle Long is right. Let's go with more people tomorrow to help my sister." Cao Shujie laughed.

He wanted Cao Jianlong to have a drink at home, but Cao Jianlong knew that Cao Shujie had to leave early tomorrow and had a lot of things to do.

Even if he was addicted to alcohol, he didn't really follow him in.

He said to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, don't drink tonight, and have two more drinks tomorrow at noon."

"Okay, Uncle Long, then we'll meet at noon tomorrow." Cao Shujie said.

Watching Cao Jianlong walk straight west, Cao Shujie wondered how many people they would go with this wave.

There are 5 to 7 village committee leaders in a village. According to what Cao Jianlong said just now, the village committees of the four villages in Qingyun Village will also go with them. There are a total of 7 villages, about 40 people.

"I wonder how many more tables Fangfang and the others have booked?" Cao Shujie thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Cao Shujie knew that he couldn't delay, so he called his sister Cao Huifang again to tell her about it.

In Zizhuyuan Community, Cao Huifang's home, in addition to her and her parents, there were also her classmates Deng Miaoshan, Ye Beiwen, Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang.

Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang came with their children.

Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan liked the two little ones, a boy and a girl, very much, and the old couple kept teasing them.

After Cao Huifang answered her brother's call, she heard her brother say that he wanted to add more people. She was already immune to it, so she asked her brother how many people would come this time.

When she heard her brother say that there would be about 40 more people, Cao Huifang said, "Brother, fortunately we booked 10 more tables, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to sit down."

After hearing this, Cao Shujie was relieved this time.

"Okay, that's it, this is really the last wave." Cao Shujie said.

He thought that since the rest of them didn't call, there should be no one else, right?

But Cao Shujie knew that no matter whether these people were going to attend his sister's wedding or not, they were all giving him face.

After returning home, Cheng Xiaolin asked him who he had just talked to.

"Uncle Long, he just came to me and told me that several village committee members also want to attend Fangfang's wedding tomorrow." Cao Shujie told his wife.

"When I heard that there were so many more people, I had to tell Fangfang as soon as possible, so as to avoid too many people and not enough space."

Cheng Xiaolin understood as soon as she heard it: "You must go back in the future."

Cao Shujie nodded: "I know."

These people gave him face, and he also gave others face, and everyone praised each other.

Cheng Xiaolin said: "Then I will go to cook first, let's rest early in the evening and leave early tomorrow."

"Okay." Cao Shujie didn't say anything else.

His eldest brother and second brother were all at the uncle's place, but they also agreed to leave together tomorrow morning.

After dinner, Mengmeng still wanted to go out to play, and Cao Shujie told her directly: "Mengmeng, we will all go to your aunt's place tomorrow, and you can stay at home alone, okay?"

"Dad, you are so annoying." Mengmeng pouted, thinking that her father was too hateful.

But Cao Shujie didn't see her face full of resentment, and continued: "Mengmeng, hey, you should rest early today, there are two big jobs for you tomorrow."

"What jobs?" Mengmeng became interested.

She got excited when she talked about this.

"Didn't your aunt tell you?" Cao Shujie teased her deliberately.

Mengmeng looked at her father, wanting to see what tricks he would play.

Cao Shujie didn't care about his daughter's tricks, and continued: "Tomorrow you go to block the door for your aunt, and when your uncle comes to knock on the door to pick up your aunt, you ask him for a red envelope, and all the red envelopes that come over belong to you, okay?"

Mengmeng's eyes lit up when she heard "red envelope".

"Dad, is there anything else? What other work?" Mengmeng asked loudly.

Cao Shujie told her very carefully: "There is one more thing. When we go to the hotel to hold the wedding ceremony tomorrow morning, can you be your aunt's flower girl? At that time, you will go up on stage with a small flower basket and give the ring inside to your uncle."

"What's the benefit for me?" Mengmeng was typical of not giving away the eagle until the rabbit is seen.

But Cao Shujie said: "Aren't you going to give you a red envelope tomorrow?"

Mengmeng shook her head and said seriously: "That's not right, Dad, the red envelope you are talking about is for me to block the door, where is the red envelope for me to be a flower girl?"

Cheng Xiaolin was still watching from the side. When she heard Mengmeng say this, she was also a good guy!

Mengmeng is good at this set!

She sorted out the two tasks clearly.

"What benefits do you want?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.

Mengmeng didn't know who she learned this from. She twisted her right thumb and index finger quickly and said: "Dad, Mom, you have to show some respect, right?"

Cao Shujie: "..."

Cheng Xiaolin: "..."

At this moment, the couple wanted to beat people. Mengmeng learned this bad habit from someone!

But no matter what, after having these two "benefits", Mengmeng was very cooperative at night. After dinner at home, she quickly ran to her room to sleep.

In the Zizhuyuan community in the city, in Cao Huifang's house.

She was still discussing things with her parents and several of her classmates.

Regarding the call from their son just now, Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan, the old couple, didn't say anything. They knew that their son had a wide network of contacts. Taking advantage of the opportunity of their daughter Fangfang's wedding, those people came to join in the fun. They gave their son face.

Wang Yuelan also said to her daughter: "Fangfang, Mom has something to tell you."

"Mom, just tell me." Cao Huifang didn't understand.

Her classmates didn't know what the aunt was going to say, and they all quieted down.

Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang also asked their sons and daughters to be honest and not to make trouble.

Then Wang Yuelan said, "Aren't there many village committee leaders, city and county leaders coming tomorrow? These people are coming for your brother's sake. Your brother will have to return the gifts they gave. You can discuss with Xiao Tong and give these gifts to your brother and ask him to return them."

"As for the money for tomorrow's banquet, your father and I will make up for it." Wang Yuelan said so.

Cao Jianguo also nodded in agreement.

But as soon as Wang Yuelan finished speaking, Cao Huifang said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Brother Tong and I have discussed it. We don't want these gifts from my brother. We will definitely give them to him."

"As for the others, you don't have to worry about it. We can do it."

That day when her brother called to say that the city and county leaders were also coming, she and Tong Jiayi discussed this matter.

They all understood why these people came, and because of this, they knew that they couldn't just accept the gifts from these people casually, and they had to "return them".

There was a certain rule for who to return it to, and this matter could obviously only be done through her brother.

Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan were relieved when they heard their daughter say this.

It's not that they care about this little money, they also have to consider the feelings of their daughter-in-law.

Although they knew that their daughter-in-law was not a stingy person, the issue of "favors" involved was not as simple as a "gift".

Deng Miaoshan, Ye Beiwen, Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang heard what Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan said, and then they knew that there were so many "big shots" coming tomorrow.

At this moment, they seemed to have participated in the legendary "wedding banquet of a wealthy family", and they felt that there was a very special feeling.

Putting aside this matter, Cao Huifang also talked about wanting Mengmeng to be her flower girl tomorrow.

"Have you told your brother?" Wang Yuelan asked her daughter.

Cao Huifang nodded: "Mom, don't worry. I must have told you about such an important matter earlier."

A makeup artist will come to her house to do her makeup tomorrow morning. They didn't stay up late at night and went to bed early.

On Cao Huifang's side, only she and her parents were left.

Ye Beiwen, Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang took their children to her place with Deng Miaoshan.

A few people were also discussing blocking the door to ask for red envelopes tomorrow morning.

…

Before 5 o'clock the next morning, Cao Shujie and his friends got up and prepared to leave. After packing up, Cao Shujie carried his grandfather to the car and drove to the city.

When his parents left yesterday, they took some of the things with them, and the rest were in his and his second brother's car.

Grandpa sat in the passenger seat, Cao Shujie and his wife were in the back, and Mengmeng was between them, swinging left and right like a pendulum, drowsy.

She had been thinking about two "benefits" last night and fell asleep in the middle of the night, but she was still asleep this morning and was mercilessly woken up by her mother.

Cao Yirui seemed particularly lively.

Cao Shujie thought his son would take a nap after getting in the car, but he was so energetic that he refused to sleep.

As soon as he got in the car, he stood between the front and co-pilot seats, put his hands on the middle armrest, and looked forward with his neck erect. He didn't know what was attracting them in front.

Almost half an hour later, they had left Pingyuan County behind.

At this time, behind them, the sun also used all its strength to finally break free from the cage and jump out of the horizon, slowly rising from the east, and the sky and the earth followed.

Today is a good day, and everything will be auspicious!

Starting early, there were few cars and people on the road, and the driving speed was fast. It was just after 6 o'clock that we arrived in the city.

At this time, Yiling City still seemed quiet, and it didn't look like a prefecture-level city at all.

Most people were still in sleep.

There were only diligent sanitation workers cleaning up the dead branches and leaves on the road, or scraps of paper and plastic bags that had floated from nowhere.

Cao Shujie and his friends did not stop, but drove straight to Zizhuyuan Community.

There was a parking space in front of his sister's building. After Cao Shujie and his friends came, they drove directly into the community and stopped in front of his sister's building. Cao Shujie saw that red paper had been posted at the entrance of the corridor.

Before he went up, his cell phone rang. It was his mother Wang Yuelan calling.

After Cao Shujie answered the call, he heard his mother asking him where he was.

"Mom, I just got downstairs and will go up soon." Cao Shujie told his mother.

By the way, he also had to take the things in the car upstairs.

"I'll ask your dad to go down and get the things." Wang Yuelan said.

Cao Shujie was about to say that his dad didn't need to come down, but Cao Jianguo had already opened the door and walked downstairs. He was so anxious that he didn't even take the elevator.

Cao Shujie took his grandfather down from the car again and asked his wife to help him take the elevator upstairs.

Mengmeng and her brother Cao Yirui followed him up. At this time, Mengmeng's mind was full of "red envelopes", or at least two big red envelopes.

Dad said so.

When they brought all the things upstairs, more than 10 minutes had passed.

At this time, the house was full of people.

In addition to his parents, his sister, there were also his eldest and second sisters-in-law, and several of his sister's classmates.

Cao Shujie then realized that Deng Miaoshan, Ye Beiwen and others were here all day yesterday, and came to help again at around 4 am today.

——

Cao Shujie saw Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang and thought they looked familiar, but he couldn't remember their names. It was Deng Miaoshan who introduced them to him. Then he remembered that the two had followed his sister to Caojiazhuang when they were in school and had lived in his house.

As soon as she entered the door, Mengmeng saw her aunt Cao Huifang and shouted: "Aunt, I'm here to be your flower girl. Do you want to give me a red envelope?"

She was quite direct.

After listening to her niece, Cao Huifang nodded hurriedly: "Mengmeng, ask your uncle for a red envelope later, and ask for more."

"That won't work. My uncle's red envelope is my uncle's, and yours is yours. They can't be mixed together." Mengmeng also gave her aunt a serious explanation.

"Otherwise, I'll take one less."

Looking at Mengmeng's serious look, everyone in the room laughed.

But no one of them said anything.

As for the children, Cao Huifang did not prepare red envelopes, but she had some cash at home, not much, so she took it all out and distributed it to Mengmeng, Ruirui, and the children of her two classmates.

"I've given it all to you. When the ceremony is held later, you four must go up." Cao Huifang said very seriously.

What a coincidence, there are two boys and two girls, and Mengmeng is the king of the children.

Cao Yirui took the money and put it in his pocket very skillfully, and subconsciously looked at his mother and sister, fearing that they would snatch his money.

In the past, Cao Yirui did not understand the benefits of money, but he understands it now.

Instead, Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang's children were a little at a loss.

Even Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang did not expect Cao Huifang to give their children red envelopes. They were thinking about asking the children to take out the money and return it, but Cao Huifang said: "I have said that this is the red envelope for the flower girl, so let it be, let them go on stage to help me later."

"Fangfang, do you need to be so perfunctory?" Deng Miaoshan said to her.

But Cao Huifang said: "This is good. We don't need to find outsiders. Besides, it's better for children to be innocent."

After deciding this, the rest is very simple.

When the auspicious time came and Tong Jiayi brought his relatives and friends to pick up the bride, Mengmeng stood in the security door and shouted: "Uncle, I am Mengmeng. Don't kick the door. If you break it, I will ask you to pay for it."

"If you give me a red envelope, I will let you in." She said one thing after another and threatened.

When Tong Jiayi heard that Mengmeng was inside, some violent knocking methods could not be used. He also organized his cousins ​​to use this trick, but the security door was closed tightly. How could he get the money in?

Mengmeng was well prepared. She asked her father to remove the observation hole on the security door for her, and asked her father to pick her up and shout from there: "Uncle, just give me money from here, and I will let you go if you give me money."

She was like a mountain king, kidnapping her aunt. (End of this chapter)
