In the house, Cao Shujie and Cao Zhenggang were still discussing the matter of focusing on the new house.

Cao Shujie finished all his requests in one go, and Cao Zhenggang recorded them on the table at this time.

After finishing writing, Cao Zhenggang looked at the record on the paper, thought for a while, and stretched out two fingers very cautiously: "Shujie, you can't get this house without 20 numbers, do you really plan to go out in your hometown?" ”

According to Cao Shujie's requirements, where is this to build a house, this is to build a two-story villa, plus the later decoration costs, how much is the specific cost, it is really hard to say now.

That is, it was built in Caojiazhuang, and if it was a slightly richer place outside, this number would not be able to be taken.

"Grandpa Zhenggang, didn't I tell you just now, I will develop on our side in the future, at most I will go to the city, and I won't go far." Cao Shujie is very open.

He pointed to the paper on which Cao Zhenggang made a record and said: "Just follow this, more than 200,000 yuan is fine, grandpa Zhenggang, you see which day is a good day, let's start work immediately." ”

"Okay, if you say so, then I'll call someone."

After Cao Zheng finished speaking, he stood up: "I'll take a look at the yellow calendar and choose a good day." ”

He stood up and went to pull the yellow calendar, and after a while, he called Cao Shujie: "Shujie, look, March 18th, the 14th day of the second lunar month, it is advisable to disassemble, break ground, and build, or this day?" ”

"Okay, I'm fine." Cao Shujie agreed.

Listening to what Cao Shujie said, Cao Zhenggang was puzzled and asked him: "Shujie, tell grandpa, what do you plan to do with us in the future?" I've lived in Caojiazhuang for 60 years, and I don't see what kind of business I can do here to make money? ”

Cao Shujie smiled "hehe": "Plant some fruits, engage in breeding, and engage in trade by the way." ”

"I don't want to say how much money I make, just don't embarrass my dad at the end of the year." Cao Shujie said.

This sentence made Cao Zhenggang laugh.

"Shujie, you and Grandpa Zhenggang are chatting first, and I'll take Mengmeng to go outside."

Cheng Xiaolin's shout came from outside, and it turned out that Meng Meng had to compete with the little pug to see who was more powerful.

This is not enough, she is really afraid of her daughter.

Hearing that his wife and daughter were leaving, Cao Shujie finished saying everything he should have said, so he said to Cao Zhenggang: "Grandpa Zhenggang, you are busy first, the children can't stay still, I'll take them to other places to see." ”

"Oh, I thought I'd like you to eat at my place at noon." Cao Zhenggang said.

It's the truth!

The villagers in the countryside are enthusiastic, and they are about to take Cao Shujie's job, so it is not a problem to earn tens of thousands of yuan at that time, and it is normal to have a meal.

"Grandpa Zhenggang, I won't eat it today, I'll invite you another day." Cao Shujie was talking and had already begun to walk out.

Cao Zhenggang brought up the eggs they brought over and asked Cao Shujie to take them back, but was stopped by Cao Shujie: "I couldn't come back a few times a year before, and I don't usually have time to come to see you, don't blame me, you and my grandmother can eat this egg." ”

"You kid, you can't do this in the future." Cao Zhenggang said him.

Coming out of the house, Cao Zhenggang saw that the little guy Mengmeng was holding her mother's hand and refused to leave.

She squatted on the ground, ready to splash and roll, and shouted in her mouth, "Mom, flowers." ”

"Puppy."

Cao Zhenggang and Cao Shujie were stunned, what is the situation?

"Wife, what's wrong with Mengmeng?"

"What's the matter, she just wanted to fight with the puppy, and she was still thinking about picking the apricot blossoms on the tree, Shujie, why do you say she has so many things?" Cheng Xiaolin was powerless to complain.

Cao Zhenggang heard Cheng Xiaolin say this, and smiled happily: "Mengmeng, this is not good, wait a few months, come to the old man's house to eat apricots, okay?" ”

"And something to eat?" Meng Meng's little head weighed it, and he was honest: "Okay!" ”

"Haha!" Cao Zhenggang smiled even more heartily: "Meng Meng is really good." ”

Back at home, Cao Shujie told his wife and mother about discussing with Cao Zhenggang about rebuilding the house.

Mother Wang Yuelan pondered for a while, and then asked, "Shujie, do you really want to be at home?" Why don't you go to the city and see if you can find a suitable job and buy ......a house?"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Shujie waved his hand and interrupted his mother: "Mom, the city will earn those thousands of yuan in wages when it is up to the sky, tens of thousands of yuan a year, it is better to rent a few acres of land at home, plant some fruits and come out." ”

Wang Yuelan rolled her eyes when she heard her son's relaxation: "Shujie, you think strangely simple, your father and I have been busy for so many years, and we haven't seen much money earned." ”

"Mom, aren't you talking nonsense? I finished college, my sister is now in college, and you gave me a down payment of 100,000 yuan when I bought a house in the capital! ”

Cao Shujie said very seriously: "Mom, don't always think that you must be able to earn much money outside, the family must earn less than the outside, it's not like that at all." ”

"Then your dad and I paid for you to go to college, so you came back to plant the orchard?" Wang Yuelan came to say this.

Cao Shujie didn't think much about it, he said with a smile: "Mom, why did you forget what university I went to, Agricultural University, the main study is agriculture and animal husbandry, and coming back to engage in planting is the professional counterpart." ”

"Nonsense." Cheng Xiaolin scolded him with a smile.

However, her husband did study a discipline related to agricultural scientific research, and the work he was engaged in in in the capital was also agricultural scientific research that was the counterpart of this major, which he did not say.

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Meng, who was playing next to her, also said: "Eight sets of clothes." ”

Cheng Xiaolin glanced at her daughter: "Look at your stupid appearance, you can't even speak clearly." ”

"You're stupid!"

Wang Yuelan immediately understood what her granddaughter meant, and she laughed amused.

But the thought of listening to what her neighbors said this morning made her feel uncomfortable.

"Shujie, I met your Aunt Shuying in the morning, and she told others that you couldn't get along outside, so she came home to plant an orchard."

Cao Shujie didn't remember who Aunt Shuying was for a while, and when his mother mentioned the name Cao Jianhai, Cao Shujie remembered that he was on the way to the old house in the morning, and chatted with Cao Jianhai for a while.

told his mother Wang Yuelan about this.

After listening to this, her mother chattered: "Your Aunt Shuying is a broken mouth, and nothing can be done in her mouth." ”

Cheng Xiaolin persuaded her mother-in-law: "Mom, you just take care of her, and let Shujie earn hundreds of thousands of dollars next year, which is more than those who work outside, and then you can see who else is talking nonsense in the village!" ”

"Hey, it's still hundreds of thousands, it's good to earn tens of thousands of dollars." Wang Yuelan said this, but the smile on her face had already reflected her mood.

She stood up: "Okay, you can do whatever you like, I don't care." ”

She stretched out her hand to her granddaughter: "Mengmeng, go out with grandma, right?" ”

"Okay, grandma play!" As soon as Mengmeng heard that she was going out to play, she immediately followed her grandmother.

Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were left at home, and Cheng Xiaolin also shouted: "Shujie, you said that they are neighbors before and after, why are you still so broken-mouthed." ”

Cao Shujie smiled, he didn't care very much: "There are such people everywhere, what do you care about him, just live our own lives, when we get mixed up, look at how many nonsense there are?" ”

There is nothing wrong with this, and Cheng Xiaolin also agrees.

"Then let's buy materials? Or go to the orchard and have a look? Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie said: "We just came back, and the situation in my hometown is not familiar, just let Grandpa Zhenggang buy the materials for building a house, let's go to the orchard tomorrow, and I will see how the fruit trees are doing." ”

"In addition, there are more than 1.6 million lying in the bank card, which is a waste, I think it will take 200,000 yuan to build a house, and it will take a sum of money to contract the land in the later stage, but it will not be too much." Speaking of this, he paused, and then looked at his wife: "Otherwise, let's not move the fraction of more than 600,000, let's take out 1 million to invest first." ”

"Vote for what? I don't understand anything, do I? Do you understand? Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie must understand, even if he hasn't learned it, but some things have been experienced, and he still has memories in his head.

1 million is only a small amount of money compared to a larger market, and it can't affect anything.

"Let me think about it, and I'll get a plan for you to see." Cao Shujie said so.

But Cheng Xiaolin shook her head: "Husband, if you want to invest, don't tell me, I don't understand these things, and if you give the wrong advice when the time comes, it's even worse." ”

"You really don't want to look at it? So what if I pay it all out? Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Who knew that Cheng Xiaolin didn't hesitate to say: "I still have some private money here, I can make money when I get to work, and it doesn't cost much to live in our hometown, besides, you are not lazy, you can make money by planting fruit trees in the later stage with your ability, what am I afraid of?" ”

Cao Shujie was stunned for a long time when he heard his wife say these words there.

Can a woman who unreservedly pins her hopes and future on herself?

Cao Shujie subconsciously reached out and held his wife's hand, which was very soft and had no calluses, and he said with a smile: "Wife, don't worry!" ”

……

A few days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was March 18th.

Cao Shujie and his family of three have been back from the capital for exactly a week.

In front of their old house, Cao Zhenggang brought eight people and was ready.

After all the old houses were picked up, they were rearranged and made into foundations.

Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin came over with their daughter Mengmeng.

His father, Cao Jianguo, and mother, Wang Yuelan, also came.

After saying hello to Cao Zhenggang, looking at his watch, when the time came, Cao Zhenggang said to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, the auspicious time has arrived, let's light firecrackers, let's start work." ”

"Okay!" Cao Shujie was not verbose, and lit 10,000 red firecrackers as soon as he got started.

The sound of crackling explosions, accompanied by the smell of sulfur and saltpeter, the smoke and dust, and the fried and crushed red paper fluttered in the air like butterflies.

Mengmeng was stunned, she jumped up and clapped her little hands and shouted, "Oh, it's fun." ”

There are few children of her age who are not afraid of whipping, but she looks quite energetic.

Before the firecrackers were finished, she wanted to run over to chase the pieces of paper to play, and her courage scared Cheng Xiaolin and Wang Yuelan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a lot.
