The leisurely life of a reborn dad

But it was useless. No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't go back to the past. But when she saw the video sent by her mother Cheng Xiaolin, Cao Xuemeng suddenly wanted to go home.

But now she still had a lot of work to do and couldn't go back for the time being.

After she really started her own business, Cao Xuemeng realized that some things were not as free as when she was in school or working before.

For example, when she just graduated from school and found her first job, she had the leisure to confront her manager at that time. Now Cao Xuemeng is so busy every day that she really doesn't have so much time to think about things.

She felt that she was almost assimilated.

At this moment, Cao Xuemeng suddenly recalled that when she was a child, she saw her father Cao Shujie would go home no matter how busy he was, even if he was drunk.

She didn't understand before. At that time, she thought that her father just liked to drink, and he didn't listen to what the family said.

She also secretly complained many times.

But until she started her own business, Cao Xuemeng realized that her father might have drunk at that time to get more orders or to establish a relationship.

Fortunately, because of the business her father built, although it is difficult for Cao Xuemeng to attract business now, it is not so difficult that she has to drink to attract business.

Another busy day passed. After finishing work, Cao Xuemeng returned to her place with Wu Shangying.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she came back, she saw Lei Xinyi waiting for her at the door of the apartment building.

"Sister Mengmeng, you are back." Lei Xinyi stood up quickly.

Cao Xuemeng wondered: "Xinyi, why didn't you call me? If I had known you were here, I would have come back earlier."

"Hey, I don't have anything else to do. I have been very busy at school during this period. I also followed the teacher to study new topics, so I didn't come here much." Lei Xinyi explained the reason why she came less during this period.

Cao Xuemeng didn't care and took Lei Xinyi upstairs. In the evening, Cao Xuemeng personally cooked a sumptuous dinner.

When eating, she called Wu Shangying and Guan Shuangxia to eat together.

Lei Xinyi was no longer surprised that Sister Mengmeng and her two bodyguards had such a good relationship.

In fact, she was also envious in her heart, and was still wondering when she could be like this.

However, Lei Xinyi also knew that she could only think about it and it was impossible to realize this idea.

"Sister Mengmeng, you didn't go home after dinner, right?"

After dinner, the two of them sat cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, Lei Xinyi asked.

Cao Xuemeng glanced at her and then asked her: "Are you talking about going back to Caojiazhuang?"

Lei Xinyi nodded heavily: "Of course, where else can I go back?"

"I won't go back for the time being. There is a lot of business in the studio now, and I have to stay here." Cao Xuemeng said.

Lei Xinyi was a little disappointed when she heard Sister Mengmeng say this, and then said to Cao Xuemeng: "I heard from my father that the fruit trees in your orchard are all in bloom, and I want to go over and take a look."

"You go, just take a car or drive there, I'll call my parents, and you can stay at home when the time comes." Cao Xuemeng was very straightforward.

But Lei Xinyi felt that if Sister Mengmeng didn't go back, she would be a little uncomfortable going alone.

She always felt that Aunt Xiaolin's eyes were a little strange, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Let me take a look. I'll finish my work first. If I have time, I'll take you back." Cao Xuemeng said.

"Sister Mengmeng, you don't love me anymore." Lei Xinyi suddenly said.

Cao Xuemeng's face didn't change. She turned her head and looked at her, and then turned her eyes to the TV program.

It was about Starlink making another major breakthrough...

Cao Xuemeng watched for a while, and then changed the channel. She felt that this kind of news was very unreliable and not down-to-earth at all.

Then she changed to a variety show channel, and the two of them chatted while watching to pass the time.

That night, Lei Xinyi stayed at Cao Xuemeng's place again.

...

Ever since Lei Xinyi told Cao Xuemeng that she wanted to go to Caojiazhuang to take a look, Cao Xuemeng has always kept it in mind.

In fact, she also wanted to go back to take a look.

In mid-April, after the work in the design studio came to a temporary end, Cao Xuemeng called Lei Xinyi and told her about going back to Caojiazhuang.

Lei Xinyi happily agreed to it.

At the same time, she told her parents and asked for leave from her school tutor, and the two sisters left as soon as they said they would.

It took more than 6 hours to drive from Beijing back to Caojiazhuang on the highway.

Waiting for the car to get off the highway and arrive at Qingshi Town, watching the changes in the town, Lei Xinyi couldn't find the familiar appearance in her impression at all.

When she was young, Lei Xinyi often came to Caojiazhuang with her parents, but she couldn't remember too many things at that time. Later, her parents came to Caojiazhuang less frequently, and Lei Xinyi never came alone again, and she seemed even more unfamiliar with this place.

If she hadn't seen her father watching the video sent by Uncle Shujie some time ago, Lei Xinyi wouldn't have known that the fruit trees were blooming again.

"Sister Mengmeng, are we almost there?" Lei Xinyi asked impatiently.

Cao Xuemeng nodded: "We'll be there in a few minutes."

"Then hurry up, I want to go take a look." Lei Xinyi said.

After coming here, Cao Xuemeng was not in a hurry.

It was already past 3 pm when they returned to Caojiazhuang. There were fewer people coming to Caojiazhuang at this time than in the morning.

Cao Xuemeng and his friends did not encounter traffic jams along the way. When the car passed the entrance of Caojiazhuang Children's Theme Park, Lei Xinyi and Cao Xuemeng looked at the scenery outside the car window together, and Lei Xinyi became excited.

Especially when she saw the roller coaster running at high speed in the children's theme park, she wanted to go down and play for a while.

"Sister Mengmeng, let's go ride the roller coaster." Lei Xinyi said.

Cao Xuemeng asked her: "Aren't you thinking of going to the mountain to see the fruit tree flowers?"

"Anyway, the mountain is there, so I think we should go ride the roller coaster first." Lei Xinyi said so.

She is also an adventurous person. When she saw the roller coaster, she couldn't walk.

Cao Xuemeng followed her and said to Wu Shangying who was driving: "Auntie Wu, find a place to stop the car in front, and we will go to the park to play for a while."

"Okay," Wu Shangying nodded and agreed.

Not long after, Wu Shangying stopped the car in the parking lot in front.

Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi got off the car, and Guan Shuangxia followed the sisters back to the park.

Just as they reached the gate, the two were about to enter the park when they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Mengmeng, Mengmeng, it's you, right?"

Cao Xuemeng subconsciously stopped and turned her head to look in the direction of the voice. Only then did she notice that her grandma and grandpa were setting up a stall next to the park gate.

Seeing the two elderly people, Cao Xuemeng hurried over to greet them.

Lei Xinyi also ran after Cao Xuemeng and called grandma and grandpa.

"Are you back from Beijing? Where's your brother?" Li Xiaojuan asked.

Cao Xuemeng went over and hugged Li Xiaojuan's arm, smiling affectionately and said, "Grandma, my brother ran out to play by himself, don't mention him."

Now Cao Xuemeng was angry when she thought of her brother running out to play alone.

Li Xiaojuan really didn't know about this, but seeing her granddaughter's angry face, she didn't ask any more questions, thinking that she would ask what was going on later.

Cheng Rengui also asked why his granddaughter came back at this time?

"Grandpa, we are not busy, so we came back to play for two days." Cao Xuemeng did not make excuses, just said whatever she wanted.

Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan could see that the girls who came back with their granddaughter wanted to go to the park, so they said to them: "You go in and play first, I will go home in the evening."

"Hey, grandpa, see you in the evening." Cao Xuemeng took Lei Xinyi to the park.

Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan were still discussing the return of their granddaughter at this time.

Li Xiaojuan did not forget to call her daughter Cheng Xiaolin to tell her.

Cheng Xiaolin did not know that their eldest son Cao Xuemeng had returned. When she heard her mother talking about it, Cheng Xiaolin realized it later and said to her mother: "Mom, I will call her later, and you and my dad will come over for dinner in the evening."

"Okay, we will be busy first." Li Xiaojuan said.

Cheng Rengui was already busy greeting guests.

There were many people coming to play today, and they sold a lot of things.

They can earn a lot of money in a day, and the old couple is getting more and more excited about their work.

Compared with people of the same age, they are several years younger.

…

Let’s say that the sisters Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi ran to the roller coaster in the park and stopped.

Seeing that there were dozens of people queuing here, Lei Xinyi felt a headache and wanted to ask Sister Mengmeng if she had the privilege to go up directly.

But when she turned her head, she found that Sister Mengmeng had already gone to the back to queue up.

There was no choice, Lei Xinyi also followed Cao Xuemeng to line up, and asked her: "Sister Mengmeng, tell the people here, it would be great if we can go up directly."

"What's the point of that? Besides, there are so many people queuing in front, do you have the nerve to cut in line?"

"Or I'll take you to my boat, and we'll go rafting on the lake." Cao Xuemeng said.

But Lei Xinyi wanted to ride a roller coaster now.

Fortunately, this roller coaster can accommodate 32 people at a time, and it only takes a few minutes to queue up. There are many people in the queue, but the frequency of getting on is very fast.

It was their turn soon.

The two of them enjoyed the excitement of the strong wind on the roller coaster and seemed very excited.

At this time, Cheng Xiaolin had come under the roller coaster.

Looking at her daughter who was overly excited on the roller coaster, Cheng Xiaolin was also helpless.

She didn't expect her daughter to run back from Beijing quietly.

Especially before coming, she didn't tell her. Cheng Xiaolin was still thinking that her daughter had grown up and really didn't take her as a mother seriously.

Waiting for her daughter and Lei Xinyi to get off the roller coaster, the two sisters were excitedly chatting about their feelings on the roller coaster just now, and suddenly heard Cheng Xiaolin's voice from behind: "Mengmeng, why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

Cao Xuemeng was startled when she heard her mother's voice.

Turning her head, she noticed that her mother was standing behind her.

"Mom, you scared me to death just now." Cao Xuemeng patted her chest and said.

Lei Xinyi saw Cheng Xiaolin appear here and quickly called Aunt Cheng.

"Xinyi, why didn't you tell me when you came? You two are really, you are getting worse as you grow older, right?"

"If your grandma hadn't called me just now, I wouldn't have known you were back." Cheng Xiaolin glared at her daughter with resentment.

Cao Xuemeng felt embarrassed by his mother's look and quickly explained: "We just arrived at the place. If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Wu later. She is parking in the parking lot."

"Why did you come back at this time?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't understand.

Then she heard her daughter say: "I just finished my work recently, and you sent me a video two days ago, so I wanted to come back to see the fruit tree flowers."

"You said you would come back to see the flowers earlier. It's better to go to the orchard. They bloom slowly here." Cheng Xiaolin said to her daughter.

The kiwis in the orchard have added nutrient solution, and their growth cycle is nearly one month faster than here.

The kiwi seedlings left in the park at that time did not have additional nutrient solution, and their growth cycle is relatively slower than one month.

Although there are so many fruit trees planted at home, Cao Xuemeng doesn't understand these things at all.

She just saw that there were no flowers on the kiwi trees in the park, and thought that the buds had all withered, which was quite disappointing, but she didn't expect it was this relationship.

Lei Xinyi next to her couldn't help laughing when she saw Mengmeng's sister was embarrassed.

Cheng Xiaolin took the two sisters around the park, and then took them to the mountain to see the fruit tree flowers.

Here, Cao Xuemeng and Lei Xinyi finally got what they wanted and saw that the fruit tree flowers in the video were particularly lush.

Taking this opportunity, Cheng Xiaolin also gave them some common sense knowledge.

By the way, these fruit trees have been blooming for 20 years. According to common sense, they should be in the period of decline when bearing fruits, but these fruit trees do not show any signs of decline.

This also shows the power of nutrient solution.

…

When I came down from the mountain and returned home, Wang Yuelan was already cooking.

Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan also packed up their stalls and came here to chat with Cao Jianguo.

Cao Shujie was holding his little girl Nuannuan in the yard to play.

Nuannuan is almost three years old. She speaks very fluently now and likes to play games with her father.

Nuannuan likes to play hide-and-seek games the most.

But the problem is that she covers her eyes with her little hands, stares at her father with her fingers apart, and shouts for her father to hide quickly so that she can find him.

Cao Shujie was helpless, thinking that this is not how the game is played.

But it is useless to explain the rules of the game to Nuannuan.

The little girl didn't listen to her father at all. She saw her father still sitting next to her through her fingers. She was not happy at first, pouting and urging her father to hide quickly.

At this time, Nuannuan saw a familiar figure.

She instinctively jumped up and hid behind her father. She didn't dare to come out, but she leaned out half of her body and looked at her sister with her little head.

"Dad, look, it's my sister. My sister is back." Nuannuan said with a nervous expression.

Cao Xuemeng: "..."

What does this mean?

Are you so scared of her?

Cao Shujie had already known the news of Mengmeng's return from his wife.

He was quite happy. Seeing Mengmeng and Lei Xinyi come in together, Cao Shujie invited them to sit down and asked about the situation in Beijing.

He also asked Lei Xinyi how her father was doing in Beijing?

"Uncle Shujie, my parents are doing well. They miss you a lot. When I came, my father told me that he wanted you to go to Beijing to get together and he would treat you to dinner." Lei Xinyi said.

But Cao Shujie shook his head: "What's good about Beijing? The air quality is not as good as our Caojiazhuang, and the food is not as clean as what we eat here. If you want to get together, let your dad come over."

Lei Xinyi didn't respond. She thought that only Uncle Cao Shujie could speak to her father in this tone.

Others really didn't dare.

Cao Shujie was about to ask how his daughter's career in Beijing was going, but he heard the voice of her mother Wang Yuelan from the living room: "Mengmeng, you come back and don't come back to see grandma."

Cao Xuemeng was scolded by her grandmother and felt a little embarrassed: "Grandma, I'm back now."

"You are so embarrassed to say that, come in quickly, I stewed your favorite steak for you, with a lot of meat and a lot of crispy bones." Wang Yuelan said.

When Cao Xuemeng heard this, she felt ashamed.

When she came back this afternoon, she didn't think about coming back to see her grandparents first, but ran out to play first.

It's a pity that grandma still thought about stewing steak for her. (End of this chapter)
