Not to mention Cao Jianhua, even his wife Gao Hong's smile on her face has gradually increased during this time.

Her husband invested more than 300,000 yuan at once in the early stage, and went to the town bank to borrow more than 300,000 yuan.

Now that she can see the hope of making money, the pressure on Gao Hong's heart is a little less, and if she can make a little more, she will definitely be happier!

"Jianhua, you see that the price of beef has been rising, otherwise after we sell these pigs, we will raise cattle." Gao Hong gave advice to her husband.

Cao Jianhua was a little hesitant, to be honest, this wave of breeding took less than half a year, but it was like a roller coaster, and he was already exhausted.

"When we sell the pigs and raise cattle again, it will take at least more than a year to be slaughtered, and we can still make money by then?" Cao Jianhua asked his wife rhetorically.

Gao Hong was also asked, how could she know what would happen in a year, that is, she couldn't guess what would happen tomorrow.

Just like their family's wave of pigs, it is not too much to say that they buy at the highest price, and it is not clear what price can be sold on the eve of the Spring Festival.

"Wife, this matter really can't be rushed, let's inquire more, and wait until we figure out the market." Cao Jianhua has grown wise after eating, and this time he knows to take a safe route.

Gao Hong remembered something and said to him: "Why don't you go to Shujie to talk to him again, the last time you went to his house to drink, he asked you to consider selling it at the end of the year, no matter what, the price of pork has indeed risen now, and the price of live pigs has also risen a lot." ”

"Besides, he also raises cows, and he knows more about this piece, right?"

"Okay, when he's not busy, I'll go and ask him again."

"Well, I heard that Uncle Tiger will be back in two days, you can bring more things over to see Uncle Tiger then." Gao Hongxin has a lot of eyes, but he doesn't have any bad intentions.

The brothers Cao Jianguo and Cao Jianlin take turns to take care of their old father for a year, which is not a new thing, and this kind of pension is basically the same across the country.

Cao Jianguo will also say a few words about his father's coming back when he sees the older generation in the past few days, and it is not surprising that Gao Hong can know.

"Uncle Tiger?" Cao Jianhua nodded: "Okay, I should have gone to see it." ”

……

Saturday, the 23rd day of the 11th lunar month.

A car came from Anyi City, this is a 2008 Buick GL8 Comfort Edition, which is not quite the same as a normal 7-seater business car, this car is an 8-seater.

At this time, there were exactly 8 people sitting in the car, and the driver was Cao Shubin, and there was an old man sitting in the co-pilot next to him.

Don't look at his white hair, but his spirit is very good, his clothes are very clean and crisp, and there are not many wrinkles on his face, which makes it difficult to guess his age, this is Cao Shujie's grandfather Cao Zhenghu (written wrong in front and has been changed).

In the middle row sat Cao Jianlin, the second Cao Shuxin and his son Cao Yixin.

In the last row sat Cao Shubin, his wife Zhang Yi, son Cao Yichuan, and Cao Shuxin and his wife Ren Jingjing.

The car was borrowed by Cao Shubin from their factory, with an automatic transmission of 2.5, and the power is absolutely no problem when driving.

"Brother, stop in the service area ahead, let's change." Cao Shuxin, who was in the middle row of seats, said.

The brother originally wanted to drive two cars, but his brother called him temporarily, saying that he had lent out the 8-seater GL8 in the factory, saving him the trouble of driving two cars.

"Okay!" Cao Shubin happened to be a little tired, and the car was full of his own family, so he wouldn't joke at this time.

Cao Zhenghu looked at the strange scenery outside the car window, thinking that it was another year before he knew it, he was now 81 years old, and he would be 82 years old in the next year, and he didn't know how many years he could live.

Thinking about returning to Caojiazhuang soon, Cao Zhenghu was still looking forward to it.

After a while, he asked, "Shubin, how long do you have to get to Caojiazhuang?" ”

"Grandpa, it's coming, it'll be there in more than an hour." Cao Shubin said.

Cao Shuxin in the back continued: "Grandpa, let's get off the highway quickly, it's a freshly built highway, and it's easy to run." ”

"Yes, then give your second uncle a call and say, we're almost there." Cao Zhenghu said.

Cao Shuxin nodded, and he said, "Okay, I'll tell the second uncle." ”

"I haven't been back this year, and I don't know how many old brothers are left in my hometown?" Cao Zhenghu muttered to himself.

Before Cao Shubin could speak, Cao Yichuan, the eldest son sitting in the third row, shouted: "Grandpa, with your physique, you can live to be at least a hundred years old, what are we going to do." ”

One sentence made a car full of people laugh.

Cao Jianlin listened to what his eldest grandson said, and he was also happy in his heart: "What Yichuan said is right. ”

Cao Yixin, the youngest grandson sitting next to him, was not to be left behind, and also shouted: "The old man will live to at least 150." ”

"I watched the TV series Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng, and people said that he lived to be 150 years old." He shouted.

Cao Shu put his novice on his son's shoulder and asked him, "Zhang Sanfeng is so powerful?" ”

"That's, Dad, he can shoot people far away with a slap, I think the old man is stronger than Zhang Sanfeng!" Cao Yixin said loudly: "I can't run my grandfather when I run." ”

Cao Zhenghu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, looked back at the little great-grandson with a smile and said, "Yixin, you let me." ”

"No, I just can't catch up." Cao Yixin argued loudly and resolutely refused to admit it.

"You two grandsons, okay!" Cao Jianlin laughed.

"You two boys, you'll coax me with nice words." Cao Zhenghu also laughed.

When I arrived at the front service area, I rested a little, and after a few people went to the bathroom and came back, they changed to Cao Shuxin and continued to get in the car and drive towards Caojiazhuang.

Before they knew it, more than an hour had passed, and they had already come down from the highway and walked towards Bluestone Town.

Anyi City's Xihexia Road Junction to Qingshi Town This section of the road often runs trucks, the road surface is crushed to tatters, but after entering the scope of Yiling City, the road is particularly easy to walk, the speed begins to go up again, and it is no problem to run to 80 miles.

Cao Shubin looked at the road outside the car, and he sighed with emotion: "The economic development of Anyi City is even higher than that of Yiling City, but it is several grades behind Yiling City in terms of road construction, I really don't know what the top thinks." ”

"What else can you think, Anyi is building an elevated highway recently, I heard that the investment of one or two tens of billions of yuan, the money is not enough to move over there, and other aspects must be saved." Cao Shuxin, who was driving, said.

He has come into contact with many people from all walks of life, and he has also heard some gossip from them that has been circulated in private.

This kind of 'gossip' has spread widely in Anyi City, and there are all kinds of theories, and many people also scold some people for just knowing how to set up a name, taking money to their own homes, and not doing their jobs.

But this kind of thing is just a fun thing to talk about, and a few words on the lips are just enjoyable.

Before the two brothers finished speaking, Cao Zhenghu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, pointed to a stone tablet in front of him a little excitedly and said, "It's here, it's here." ”

Cao Shuxin, who was driving, also saw the stone monument that said 'Welcome to Bluestone Town' directly opposite.

"Grandpa, 20 minutes at most." Cao Shuxin stepped on the accelerator and the speed of the car sped up a bit.

……

At the north end of Caojiazhuang Village, Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan arrived at their son's side early in the morning.

Estimating the time, Cao Jianguo and Cao Shujie came from home to the intersection to wait, Wang Yuelan and her daughter-in-law Cheng Xiaolin chose vegetables to cook at home, and stewed beef ribs and lamb scorpions in two pots.

The beef sauce was made last night, and the other dishes are ready, just wait for a while.

Wang Yuelan also wrapped some mutton dumplings, and she said to her daughter-in-law: "Your grandfather likes to eat mutton dumplings the most."

Cheng Xiaolin silently remembered it in her heart.

Meng Meng was playing alone next to her, and it didn't matter at first, but after a while, she found that no one paid attention to her, and she felt bored, and Meng Meng was not happy.

She yelled for her mother to play with her, but Cheng Xiaolin didn't have time now, so she said to Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, mom and grandma are busy, you go to find dad." ”

"Where's Daddy?" Meng Meng asked.

"You go outside, your dad is just outside the gate at the intersection to the west." Cheng Xiaolin said to her.

Wang Yuelan also said that she asked her daughter-in-law to accompany her granddaughter to play, but Cheng Xiaolin also said: "Mom, grandpa, they should be almost there, we have to hurry up and cook something, and when they get home, we will eat something to cushion their stomachs." ”

This is a serious matter, and Wang Ruolan will not say anything else.

Mengmeng heard what her mother said, she turned her head and walked out, but just after a few steps, she turned around again, looked at the little pug and shouted, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, you go out with me." ”

"Wang, Wang." The little pug barked twice, and then obediently followed Meng Meng and walked out.

After Wang Yuelan and Cheng Xiaolin and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard the movement outside in the kitchen, Wang Yuelan also said: "Linlin, have you seen it, she is cute and smart." ”

"Mom, this child has a lot of eyes, you don't worry about her." After Cheng Xiaolin finished speaking, she continued to choose dishes.

Having said that, Wang Yuelan still watched her granddaughter lead the pug out together, and then heard her granddaughter's voice outside the gate: "Dad, Dad." I am here. ”

"Mengmeng, come here." Cao Shujie walked towards his daughter.

Meng Meng also ran down the road from the gate to her father.

"Daddy." Meng Meng shouted again.

"Mengmeng, it's so cold outside, you don't play at home, what are you doing out?" Cao Shujie was puzzled.

Then I heard her daughter's little mouth say in a small mouth: "Mom and grandma make dumplings, they don't play with me, mom asked me to come to you." ”

"Ouch, Dad is busy too, Dad is waiting for your grandfather." When Cao Shujie saw his daughter running to him, he squatted down, opened his arms, and hugged her.

Mengmeng was honest in her father's arms, looked around, and asked Cao Shujie: "Dad, where is the old man?" ”

"They're still on their way, but they're almost there." Cao Shujie walked to the intersection with his daughter in his arms, pointed to the north and said.

Mengmeng's eyes kept staring at the north, but he still didn't recognize which car belonged to the old man, and he was a little frustrated.

She asked, "Dad, will my grandfather buy me something delicious?" ”

There's a high probability that his grandfather didn't buy it!

But Cao Shujie believed that his eldest brother and second brother must have bought something, so he nodded and coaxed her daughter: "Your uncle must have bought it." ”

Mengmeng couldn't tell the meaning of her father's words, but when she heard her father say that someone bought her something delicious, she was very happy: "Okay, okay." ”

"Dad, I'll tell you." Meng Meng pouted and said, "Mom said let me say hello to the old grandfather, and say hello to the big grandfather." ”

"There are also the eldest and second uncles."

But then she scratched her head and said, "But who are the old man and the big grandfather?" ”

We've met before, but I haven't seen them for a long time and forgotten about them.

Cao Shujie hugged his daughter and explained to her.

Cao Jianguo also compared to his granddaughter what the old grandfather and her grandfather looked like. But obviously, it's all in vain, Mengmeng is not impressed at all.

"Dad. Put me down. Meng Meng couldn't stay in her father's arms, so she had to come down and play with the little pug.

Cao Shujie put her down, and just wanted to remind her to run slowly, when he saw a Buick business GL8 with an Anyi city license plate coming from the north.

No need to ask, eighty percent of the people who came over at this point were his uncle.

Sure enough, wait for the car to stop. Cao Shujie saw the glass window next to him coming down, and his second cousin's face emerged from the window: "Shujie, it's such a cold day, why are you waiting here." ”

When he saw Cao Jianguo, he smiled happily and shouted, "Second uncle." ”

Cao Jianguo nodded in response, and the person had already walked to the co-pilot's side and pulled the car door: "Dad." ”

Cao Zhenghu was in the co-pilot, looking at his youngest son, who had not seen him for a year, and was a little excited, and stretched out his hand to touch him.

"Dad, I'm the founding of the country." Cao Jianguo shouted.

"Jianguo, why are you still thin." Cao Zhenghu asked him.

He was about to get out of the car, and the doors on both sides of the second row were also opened, and Cao Jianlin and Cao Shubin came down from both sides.

Cao Yixin's kid also got out of the car with his grandfather.

The two sisters-in-law in the seat behind Cao Shujie also wanted to follow, so he hurriedly shouted: "Second brother, that small second floor is our house, sister-in-law, don't get out of the car first, you can drive the car over." ”

"Oh, you're pretty good, didn't cost less." At the intersection, Cao Shuxin saw a small two-story building with tiles on the exterior wall and yellow paint.

Cao Jianlin and Cao Zhenghu, father and son, insisted on getting out of the car, but they didn't stop again, and Cao Shubin also got out of the car and bypassed the back of the car, wanting to help his grandfather.

But his cousin Cao Shujie took the first step to drag his grandfather's arm, but his grandfather pushed him away: "Shujie, I can still stand, I don't need to help." ”

The grandfather and grandson hadn't seen each other for almost a year, but they both cared about each other.

"Shujie, you're tanned." Cao Zhenghu looked at the youngest grandson's slightly blackened face, and he was very distressed.

But Cao Shujie didn't care, he said: "Grandpa, it's okay, it's healthier to run ten kilometers now." ”

Seeing that the little grandson was bragging here, Cao Zhenghu also laughed.

"Dad, is this the old man?" Meng Meng, the little ghost who was temporarily ignored by everyone, automatically interjected again.

Cao Zhenghu lowered his head, and also saw his great-granddaughter Mengmeng, who was looking up at him, this was the only little girl in their old Cao family!

I'm busy today, and I'm going to be busy tomorrow for a day, so the update may not be timely in these two days, please forgive me.
