The leisurely life of a reborn dad

In the guest house open to the public in Pingyuan County, Cao Tiemin, Cao Shuyang and Cao Shulun came over in advance to wait.

Cao Shulun also said: "It's a pity that Cao Fei is not here, otherwise we would have gathered together today."

But Cao Tiemin disagreed. He waved his hand and said, "What a pity. I think it's pretty good."

He said: "I went to the city a few days ago and stopped by to have a meal with Cao Fei. Now he has been quickly promoted to director, and he is also the director of the Five-Star Department Store Corporation. Think about how difficult this is!"

"That kid has finally managed to get ahead quietly, and his salary has been increased a lot. It's better than hanging around in our small county."

"Really, when I see him again in the future, I have to call him Director Cao?" Cao Shulun's eyes revealed envy.

He also wants a promotion and a salary increase. Who would think his salary is high?

It's a pity that this thing is not subject to his will.

Cao Tiemin curled his lips: "What's the point of lying to you? Cao Fei's monthly salary is more than 5,000 yuan now, which is twice as fast as when he worked in our county. I just want to ask if you are awesome!"

The current average salary in Yiling City is only about 2,000 yuan. By comparison, Cao Fei's current income is far away from the average.

When he said this, both Cao Shuyang and Cao Shulun were very envious, but they still would not change jobs.

Cao Shuyang feels that although the salary at the expressway toll station is not high, the work is not tiring and the main benefits are good.

With six insurances and two funds, a corporate annuity alone beats 90% of companies. He feels that in the long run, if he works until retirement, his future life will be comfortable.

Cao Shulun said: "It is said that our factory has been favored by a central enterprise, and we are currently negotiating the acquisition. If it can be successful, we will also be able to increase our wages a lot by then, and our welfare benefits should be comparable to those of central enterprises. I just don't know if there are any rumors. So good?"

"Holy shit, is it true or not, your ruined chemical plant is going to be turned over?" Cao Tiemin felt a little sour.

Being acquired by a central enterprise sounds quite high-end.

Looking at it this way, it seems that he feels a bit inferior.

Even though he is doing the decoration by himself now, with a few people under him, it is still not large-scale. If there is work, it will be done, and if there is no work, it will be in vain.

It's no problem to get hundreds of thousands a year, but he doesn't have insurance, and if he buys it himself, he doesn't think it's cost-effective.

But his income has been rising since he was young, and his benefits have also been improved step by step.

"Maybe one day you will surpass me." Such an idea suddenly came to Cao Tiemin's mind.

His income is more than ten thousand or two hundred thousand a year, which seems to be quite high. However, during the period when Cao Zhen went to Xinjiang, his income was more than ten thousand a month. His family earns more than ten thousand a year, and it is very difficult to maintain a good harvest despite droughts and floods. stable.

Even after returning from Xinjiang, the income will definitely not be low.

Unlike him, he was okay when he had work to do, but he was dumbfounded when he didn't have any work to do.

Not to mention Cao Shujie, his investment in his hometown is seven figures, which is on two levels with them.

While the three of them were chatting, Cao Tiemin's cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Cao Shujie, he picked up the call: "Hey, Shujie, where have you been?"

"In the yard? Okay, I'll be there right away." Cao Tiemin responded.

After hanging up the phone, he said to Cao Shuyang and Cao Shulun: "Let's go, they are here, let's go and greet them."

"Let's take a walk and see what my sister-in-law looks like." Cao Shuyang headed out.

Several of them were curious about what kind of woman made Cao Zhenye willing to leave his bachelorhood.

When they actually saw Patiguli, they couldn't help but marvel that this sister-in-law was indeed beautiful.

With a face that is obviously from an ethnic minority, a tall nose bridge, coupled with her fair skin, tall and well-fitted figure, it can only be said that Cao Zhen has a really good vision.

"Sister-in-law, welcome!" Cao Shuyang said.

After Cao Zhen introduced them to each other, Patiguli finally got to know Cao Zhen's little friends one by one.

Cao Tiemin and the others ordered some of the best dishes in the guest house, then handed the menu to Patiguli and asked her to watch and order a few dishes.

While waiting for the waiter to serve the food, they talked about Cao Zhen's marriage process.

Cao Tiemin also said that if you have any work to do, just tell him, and he has plenty of time to help.

It was already dark when Cao Shujie returned to Caojiazhuang from Pingyuan County with Cao Zhen and Patiguli without drinking.

But the street lights in the village were still on, and Caojiazhuang looked particularly quiet at night.

"Cao Zhen, it's too late today. If you are free tomorrow, go to my orchard and have a look. If there is anything else that needs to be prepared, we can discuss it." Cao Shujie said to him.

This is what Cao Zhen wanted to say.

There were only thirteen days left before their wedding ceremony, which seemed like a lot, but for a wedding, another month didn't feel like enough.

Stopping the car in front of Cao Zhen's house, Cao Shujie helped the two of them take down the suitcases they brought back and deliver them to their home.

Lian Fengying and his wife Cao Jianzong are already waiting at home.

Seeing their son coming in from outside with his daughter-in-law Patiguli, Lian Fengying immediately went to greet him.

The old couple had seen photos of Patiguli before, but they felt that the real person was more beautiful than the photos. They were satisfied from the bottom of their hearts, and secretly praised their son's vision.

Thinking that the son's daughter-in-law's parents were no longer alive, they felt very fond of Patiguli.

Lian Fengying walked up to her daughter-in-law-to-be and when she wanted to speak, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

It was their first time meeting each other, and they still felt strange to each other.

After Cao Shujie helped put down all the things, he said goodbye and went home very discerningly.

At this time, the family should be given some private space so that they can become more familiar with each other.

At the same time, Cao Zhen also realized how right Patiguli's decision was in proposing to come back early.

Patiguli and his family had never met before, and it was a bit awkward to meet his parents, let alone those relatives and friends.

If they still come back a week early as planned, they will be busy with wedding etiquette and have no time or inclination to get to know these relatives and friends. They will not even be able to figure out what to say when they meet each other. Awkward.

When Cao Shujie drove back home, his wife was teaching Mengmeng how to draw.

The mother-in-law was lying on the table, Mengmeng’s head was on her mother’s head, and she heard Mengmeng shouting: “Mom, she looks like a kitten.”

Cheng Xiaolin muttered: "What I drew was originally a kitten. What do you mean by a likeness?"

Mengmeng scratched her head, she didn't understand what her mother meant.

After seeing her mother finish drawing, she stretched out her hand to grab the pen: "Mom, I'll do it."

"Mengmeng, can you do it?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.

Mengmeng nodded: "Yes, I can, mom, look."

After grabbing the pen from her mother's hand, Mengmeng held the pen with her right hand, opened and closed the pen, and made several strokes back and forth on the paper. Several consecutive zigzag handwritings immediately appeared on the paper. This is a typical example. graffiti.

Performance art is called graffiti.

But Mengmeng was not ashamed at all. She even shouted proudly: "Mom, look, does the kitten I drew look good?"

Cheng Xiaolin looked at the handwriting on the paper carefully and seriously. Is this a painting?

This is more like a ghost painting.

Kittens are even more ridiculous.

"Mengmeng, let me take a look." Cao Shujie's voice came.

Mengmeng looked back and was very happy to see her father walking in from the door.

He quickly picked up the paper and showed it to his father: "Dad, look, little kitten."

"Mom drew it, I drew it." She pointed it out for Cao Shujie to see.

Cao Shujie opened his eyes and lied: "Mengmeng's paintings are so beautiful. He will definitely be a great painter in the future. Paint well. Dad will keep it for you."

Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes beside her.

But Mengmeng was very happy after hearing this, and she became more energetic in painting.

Holding a pen in his hand, he shouted again: "Mom, give me paper."

She will continue to paint.

Cheng Xiaolin said: "Mengmeng, don't waste any more paper. Mom will buy you a drawing board later. You can draw whatever you want then."

Taobao sells children's LCD blackboards that allow you to doodle at will. After you have filled the surface with drawings, slide the button and all traces of the drawings will disappear. It is very convenient to use and does not waste paper.

After hearing her mother say that she wanted to buy something for herself, Mengmeng stopped drawing, and her attention also shifted: "Mom, buy it for me quickly."

"Why are you anxious? Your father has just come back. Let's let him sit down and rest for a while, okay?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her daughter.

After Mengmeng heard this, she looked around the room, turned around and ran towards a hard plastic stool with a backrest next to it. Then when Cao Shujie was at a loss, she held the back of the chair with both hands and struggled towards Cao Shujie. Drag this way.

Cheng Xiaolin and Cao Shujie were both confused by their daughter's operation, but they understood what Mengmeng was doing.

What they can't figure out is, why does Mengmeng have so many evil intentions?

There is no need to go out of her way to teach, she can understand the meaning just by saying a sentence.

After a while, I heard Mengmeng say: "Dad, please sit down."

The smile on Cao Shujie's face bloomed like a flower. He bent down to take the small hard plastic chair, picked up Mengmeng from the ground with his other hand, and kissed her little face with a pout.

"Mengmeng, you are awesome." Cao Shujie praised her daughter without hesitation.

Mengmeng put her hands on the back of her head, and she kept smiling and said, "Dad, sit down quickly."

Grandpa Cao Zhenghu was sitting on the official hat chair next to him, listening to Peking opera and drinking tea. Seeing his great-grandson's daughter's behavior, he couldn't help but said: "Shujie, Meng Meng will become a great person in the future."

Cheng Xiaolin was very happy when she heard what her grandfather said, but she said modestly: "Grandpa, you are so complimentary."

"Mengmeng, did you hear what grandpa said? Why don't you thank grandpa quickly?"

"Hehe, thank you, grandpa." Mengmeng said thank you obediently.

Cao Zhenghu waved his hand: "Mengmeng, come here and let me see it."

Mengmeng ran over quickly.

At a young age, his eyes were very mean and he knew how to please adults.

When her daughter was not around, Cheng Xiaolin put away her pen and paper and asked her husband: "Shujie, have you brought Brother Zhen and sister-in-law back?"

"Well, after picking them up at the airport, I went to the county town first. Cao Tiemin and the other three were waiting in the county town and had a meal there, but it's not a good idea to go there." Cao Shujie said this.

"I just sent them home."

Cheng Xiaolin waved her hand: "It goes without saying, I understand everything."

Then Cao Shujie talked about how Cao Zhen and the others might go to the orchard on the mountain tomorrow.

Cheng Xiaolin said: "You have something to do tomorrow and have driven for a few hours. Go and rest early."

"Yeah, okay." Cao Shujie nodded. He said hello to his grandfather and prepared to go upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.

Who knew that if Mengmeng didn't want to do anything, she would have to ask her father to play with her for a while.

Cheng Xiaolin felt a headache when she saw her daughter acting recklessly.

But Cao Shujie cheered up and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mengmeng, what game do you want to play?"

…

Happy time always passes quickly. When Cao Shujie played with his daughter, he didn't feel the passage of time at all.

On the morning of the second day, Cao Shujie and his wife took Mengmeng to work in the orchard. Cao Shujie felt very comforted when he saw the fruit trees in the orchard growing vigorously.

He carefully observed the branches, leaves and blossoms of the fruit trees, then squatted down and dug out the soil to see the growth of the roots of the fruit trees. Everything was developing in a good direction.

He said to his wife: "I will prepare some more medicine and sprinkle it on the fruit trees."

There is a drip irrigation system, which can achieve a more balanced and precise input of fertilizers and nutrient solutions to fruit trees.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded. She never asked about this matter.

Seeing her husband turn around and go down the mountain, Cheng Xiaolin didn't ask any questions. Mengmeng was playing not far away.

I saw that kiwis and fruit trees were growing green leaves, and some were blooming quietly. There were bees or butterflies flying here, and they were busy on the newly bloomed flowers that fell from time to time.

Mengmeng started chasing butterflies again, running around in the orchard, but Cheng Xiaolin ignored her.

She looked at the blooming scene and felt very happy, knowing that the fruits would soon be born at this time.

Just as she was thinking about things, she suddenly heard her daughter calling her: "Mom, come here and take a look."

Cheng Xiaolin turned to look for her daughter, and then realized that Mengmeng had wandered into the strawberry area at some point.

Cheng Xiaolin was curious. She walked over to see what treasure her daughter had discovered.

After arriving here, I saw Mengmeng pointing to a green fruit on the strawberry and saying, "Mom, is this a strawberry?"

"Yes, this is a strawberry."

"But it's red." Mengmeng was confused?

Cheng Xiaolin pointed to a white strawberry next to her and said, "Mengmeng, look at that white strawberry, it will soon turn into red."

"This green one will also turn white over time."

As for the reason, Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband talk about it, but she didn't remember it.

When Mengmeng heard her mother confirm that the little fruit was a strawberry, her little eyes started to spin, not knowing what she was thinking.

Cheng Xiaolin looked at the strawberry field, and she didn't notice the strange expression on her daughter's face.

Thinking about the calculation her husband had made for her, this strawberry field could earn over a million if it was settled this year.

I feel very moved when I think about it.

The achievement of annual income of over one million was accomplished silently.

But Mengmeng, who had been squatting on the ground studying the strawberry fruit, took advantage of her mother not paying attention, reached out and grabbed a small green fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing hard.

Just after chewing two mouthfuls, Mengmeng's cute little face changed, her brows knitted together, and her face became distorted: "Oh, it's so sour."

"Bah, bah, bah." Mengmeng threw the uneaten strawberries on the ground, opened her mouth and spat out the chewed green strawberries.

Cheng Xiaolin lowered her head and noticed the good things her daughter had done. She didn't know how to describe Mengmeng: "You are really good at eating randomly. Our strawberries are not pesticide-free. Otherwise, I will see what you do." ?”
