"Linlin, you look at Meng Meng at home, Shujie and I will go to the mountains to have a look." Cao Jianguo heard what his daughter-in-law said next to him and took the initiative to say.

Cheng Xiaolin heard her father-in-law say this, and was a little worried: "Dad, if it's really raining and the road is not easy to walk, I'd better go." ”

The last time it rained heavily at night, her father-in-law and her husband went to the orchard, and when her father-in-law came back, he broke his foot, and Cheng Xiaolin was still a little worried.

Cao Jianguo also seemed to know his daughter-in-law's worries, he waved his hand and said: "Last time, the road was too bad to walk, Shujie has built a road now, Shujie and I rode a tricycle up, nothing happened." ”

"Shujie, you and our dad can be slow, if you see the rain, come back quickly." Cheng Xiaolin told them.

Cao Shujie nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid." ”

The two of them took tools and rain gear and rode an electric tricycle to check the situation in the orchard on the mountain, and after a quick turn, they released enough forage and fodder for the 50 calves.

Originally, I planned to go to the county shopping mall today to see the household appliances, but in this kind of ghost weather, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin didn't go, and they have been staying at home with Mengmeng.

The little guy didn't know where to find a musty "Journey to the West" comic book, walked up to Cao Shujie, opened the comic book, pointed to one of the illustrations with words and asked him: "Dad, what is this?" ”

Cao Shujie was fiddling with his mobile phone, he looked at the picture and it was a little troublesome to talk about, and was thinking about how to tell his daughter, Mengmeng turned around and took the "Journey to the West" comic book to find his mother.

This operation made Cao Shujie look confused.

Before he knew what was going on, he heard Meng Meng say to his wife, "Mom, I won't." ”

"What about your dad? Let him tell you about it. Cheng Xiaolin said.

But Mengmeng followed and said, "Dad won't either." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Xiaolin turned her head to look at her husband in surprise, and she said, "Mengmeng, your father is a stupid person, he doesn't understand anything." ”

"Well, Daddy is stupid." Meng Meng nodded and repeated.

This made Cao Shujie very embarrassed, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet his daughter: "Mengmeng, come here, I'll tell you about it." ”

Mengmeng stood beside her mother and didn't move, Cheng Xiaolin said to her: "Go ahead, your father will definitely tell you." ”

The little guy came to his father with the book of the "Journey to the West" comic book, and when he opened the book, it was no longer the page just now.

"Dad, what is this?" Meng Meng asked curiously.

Cao Shujie looked at the illustration in the comic book, which was a stone shining on the top of the mountain, and said, "This is Sun Monkey, when Sun Monkey is about to be born." ”

"Ahh Sun monkey jumped out of the stone? Meng Meng asked, "Then I also jumped out of the stone?" ”

Good guys, this can draw inferences.

Cao Shujie thought to himself, this is a problem involving having children, but it's a big project, so don't tell his daughter.

He gestured and said, "A long, long time ago, there were many immortals in the sky......

The story told by Cao Shujie has gone beyond the scope of comic books, and Meng Meng listens to it with relish.

When telling the story, Cao Shujie lost track of time, and he didn't know when, when a strong wind suddenly blew outside, and then raindrops fell on the glass, making a crackling sound.

Then came the sound of rushing water.

"Boom"

Before the lightning struck, the thunder rolled in from afar, and then there was a 'bang', and a bright light streaked through the dim sky, as if it was about to tear the sky in half.

"It's raining a lot." Cao Jianguo said worriedly.

He was still a little glad that he finally got all the corn back yesterday.

If it is confiscated, it will not be possible to enter the field for at least a week.

Mengmeng suddenly saw such a heavy rain, coupled with lightning and thunder, she was startled, and hurriedly got into her father's arms, covered her ears with her hands, and shouted timidly: "Dad, I'm afraid, I'm afraid." ”

"Meng Meng is good, Dad is here, let's not be afraid." Cao Shujie said.

"I'm afraid!" At this time, Meng Meng is no longer naughty.

A thunderclap came, Meng Meng was trembling with fright, she lay in her father's arms, and a pair of small hands grabbed her father's clothes.

Cheng Xiaolin also saw the change in her daughter, she came over and hugged Mengmeng in her arms, patted Mengmeng's back gently, and said softly: "Mengmeng is okay, you see that we are all in the house, and we have closed the windows and doors, and the rain can't come in." ”

But it's useless, the little guy's fear is to face the unknown of nature, and he has no confidence in his heart.

Cheng Xiaolin usually coaxes him and her very well, but today is also in vain.

Cao Shujie said: "Mengmeng, let's watch TV and watch cartoons." ”

As soon as she heard that she was watching cartoons, Meng Meng was excited, she nodded violently and said, "Okay, okay, I want to watch Journey to the West." ”

"Then I'll have to search on the computer." Cao Shujie said.

"Then go get it." Mengmeng couldn't wait, urging her father to hurry up and get the computer back.

Cao Shujie went to their bedroom to get the computer.

Cao Jianguo looked at the heavy rain outside, his expression was a little heavy: "Those who haven't finished confiscating the corn will be unlucky." ”

"Dad, this is also a helpless thing, who knew that this rain would come, and the weather forecast was a bit evil this time." Cheng Xiaolin said.

That's really the case.

Cao Shujie came over with the computer, plugged in the network card, and then opened the browser and searched for the "Journey to the West" cartoon.

It's easy to search, and you don't need to do a membership, it's just that the ad is a bit long, but it's free to watch cartoons.

Meng Meng doesn't care about the advertisement, she looks at the brain platinum advertisement in the advertisement, the two little dolls are running around, and they are very happy.

Almost a minute, the commercial ended, and then came out the first episode of the Journey to the West cartoon, which began with a scene of Monkey King jumping out of a stone.

Cao Shujie told Mengmeng this story just now, and she was very excited when she saw it: "Dad, look, the monkey has been born." ”

"Yes, the monkey is about to be born." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Meng Meng, who was immersed in the cartoon, seemed to have forgotten the sound of the outside world, and there was thunder outside, this time it did not affect Meng Meng, Cao Shujie breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it.

Wang Yuelan saw that her granddaughter was not afraid, she also relaxed and said, "What do you want to eat at night?" I'm going to cook. ”

"Mom, you rest for a while, I'll do it." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie thought that there was still a lot of pork and some mutton in their refrigerator, so he said, "Otherwise, let's eat hot pot." ”

"In this weather, where are you going to buy meat rolls?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't want to complain about him.

But Cao Shujie said: "This is not simple, I'll cut the meat rolls." ”

He pulled the frozen pork and lamb out of the freezer.

I put a knife on the frozen hard piece of meat, and I couldn't cut it at all.

This was very embarrassing, Cao Shujie ignored his wife's ridicule and said, "If only there was a press knife specializing in meat cuts." ”

"Even if I want to buy it now, it's too late." Cheng Xiaolin didn't bother to talk about him.

But Cao Shujie still has a way, it is not difficult to thaw the meat a little and then cut it.

There is no way to cut the thickness evenly, and there is no way to cut the effect of the meat roll.

Even so, Cheng Xiaolin is very satisfied.

She and her mother-in-law began to wash the greens and prepare other ingredients.

This thing can't be made the same as a hot pot restaurant, but the homemade hot pot tastes cleaner.

Cao Shujie was thinking in his heart: "When the rain stops and I go to the county to buy appliances, I must see if there are any pressure knives for sale, and it is best to prepare some hot pot seasoning and base ingredients, so that it will be convenient to eat hot pot at home in the future." ”

Life has come to him, and it is indeed quite pleasant.

……

The rain lasted longer than expected, and it didn't end until the afternoon of the second day.

When the sky began to clear, the villagers in Caojiazhuang who had not yet finished confiscating the corn hurried to the fields to check the situation.

Cao Shujie also wore rain boots and carried a shovel to the orchard on the mountain to see what the situation was on the mountain?

His father and mother went to the fields to see how the wheat had not yet been planted, and now in this situation, the car could not drive into it at all, so in order not to delay the wheat harvest in the coming year, planting wheat in a small cart pulled by a man was the last choice.

Cao Shujie followed the road to the mountain, and he found that the moon flower trees planted on the road in front of him were washed clean by water after the rain, but unfortunately there were no moon flowers in full bloom this year.

The other seedlings are also well watered and begin to thrive.

Cao Shujie squatted down, picked the rhizomes of the flower seedlings with his fingers, and carefully looked at the root under the soil.

The roots have been deeply rooted, which is a good phenomenon, and Cao Shujie is very happy.

Continuing to go up, I saw that the large area of flower seedlings was growing very well, but there were also wilted children, Cao Shujie was not worried, he just called Song Shuli later to replenish the flower seedlings.

When he came to the orchard, Cao Shujie's heart really lifted, but when he saw that the fruit tree saplings in the orchard looked full of vitality after the rain, his heart suddenly relaxed.

Walking to the old orchard, only vines and leaves are left of kiwifruit, but the fragrance of apples is stronger.

Cao Shujie stretched out his hand and picked off a big red apple, wiped the rainwater on the outer surface of the apple with his hand, and chewed it in his mouth.

The skin of the apple is pale red, but the flesh is pale yellow, and it is very crisp when you eat it, and the juice of the apple flows down the corner of the mouth, which is very sweet.

Cao Shujie took another big bite and chewed hard.

Not to boast, naturally ripe apples are indeed delicious.

He looked at the apples left in the orchard and thought to himself, "Why don't you sell them and keep them for yourself?" ”

"It's a pity that there is no cold storage, otherwise I will leave some of the kiwifruit and eat it slowly." Cao Shujie thought in his heart that after the follow-up hand was loose, was he getting a cold storage, how much did it cost?

He didn't know about it, but it was clear that he didn't have enough money on hand to do so, and he didn't have the budget for it at the moment.

When he came to the breeding area, Cao Shujie saw that the calves inside came out to have fun after the rain, mooing, and half of his tight heart was relieved.

Seeing that there was not much left of the forage and feed that he picked out yesterday, Cao Shujie entered the breeding area, opened the door of the warehouse, and made a pile of forage to sprinkle outside, and then attracted the cattle and began to eat it violently.

There were also calves who saw that Cao Shujie was still on the side, and immediately ran towards him.

When Cao Shujie saw this, he used his fork to make a pile of grass again.

While the calf was grazing, he dragged the mixed feed in the trough with a trolley, and turned on the drinking equipment to let the calf drink to his heart's content.

"Give me all the strength to eat, hurry up and grow, see who grows the strongest this year, big reward!" Cao Shujie shouted beside him.

It's a pity that none of these calves understand the underlying meaning of his words, otherwise they would have to attack him and teach him a lesson.

Because of this rain, Cao Shujie's construction was suspended for three days.

Fortunately, the terrain on the mountain is high, there is no need to worry about the problem of water storage, there is no excess water storage, the ground dries quickly, two days later, on the second day of the National Day, the installation of water pipes, road repairs, and the installation of barbed wire guardrails have begun to start work again.

Cao Jianguo came over to help when he had nothing to do at home, and seeing that the mountains could stand people, he took a shovel and began to tidy up the unfinished ground.

Also this morning, Cao Shujie and his wife were going to Pingyuan County to buy household appliances, and they also took Mengmeng over to play.

Before leaving, Cao Shujie also said to his mother Wang Yuelan: "Mom, Cao Zhen will go to Xinjiang in a few days, I may not come back tonight, and I will call you again in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, if you remember to drink, don't drive." Wang Yuelan instructed her son.

Cao Shujie also knew this truth, and he nodded vigorously to reassure his mother.

The car was driving on the way to the county seat, probably because it had just rained heavily, and the trees on the side of the road looked very clean.

"Shujie, is Brother Zhen leaving?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie nodded and said: "The cost of raw materials in their factory has risen sharply, according to the factory's method, they want to go to Xinjiang to contract land to grow cotton and reduce costs. ”

"And this?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't know what to say, she said: "Even if you plant cotton now, it's too late to use it." ”

"I can't use it this year, but I can use it next year." Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin shook her head, she said: "I mean, if the price of cotton is reduced again next year, won't it be planted in vain?" ”

Cao Shujie was a little distracted by his wife's thinking: "Wife, if you don't say it, I really didn't expect this, it's really possible." ”

"That's how it is." Cheng Xiaolin said.

But Cao Shujie also said: "No matter what, in the long run, the cost will definitely be cheaper than what they bought." ”

Seeing that his wife still wanted to refute, Cao Shujie said again: "If next year's cotton is really cheap, they can buy a batch in advance and stock it up." ”

"In short, these companies have their own considerations, and we don't need to worry about them." Cao Shujie stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the speed of the car was a few points faster.
