She knew what firecrackers were, and because of that, she was scared of them.

"Shall I buy you a cannon?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Speaking of this, Mengmeng's eyes widened and she nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, Dad, I'm going to drop the cannon." ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and threw it down, and shouted in her mouth: "Smack! ”

"Huh!" She laughed to herself.

Cao Shujie also laughed: "Okay, let's go shopping later, if there is a sale, I will buy it for you." ”

Cheng Xiaolin reminded him: "Shujie, you can't buy too much for her, otherwise the floor at home will make her ruined." ”

The cannon is not very powerful, but it can be dropped to the ground, and when the gunpowder explodes, it will cause a yellow or light black mark, which is difficult to deal with.

Chatting with the two of them, Cao Shujie didn't feel lonely when he drove, and time passed quickly, and unconsciously, Cao Shujie had already driven into Yiling City.

They went to Yiling University first, ready to pick up his sister Cao Huifang, and then go to the five-star department store to buy things for the New Year for their families.

Driving to the vicinity of Yiling University, Cao Shujie saw a lot of cars parked near the entrance of the school from a distance, and students with suitcases came out of the school, and then were picked up by middle-aged men and women, got in the car and left.

He knew that these should be the parents who came to pick up the students.

Cheng Xiaolin was also worried when she saw it: "There are so many people who came to pick it up, is it that Mengmeng will go to school in the future, and we have to pick it up like this?" ”

"Wife, Mengmeng still has fifteen or six years to go to college, you are thinking about it a little early." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Slowly moving forward, Cao Shujie saw that a car had just started to leave, so he immediately drove the car over and parked it in the marked parking space, which was perfect.

When he took out his mobile phone to call his sister, Meng Meng looked outside and asked him, "Dad, are we at the mall?" ”

"Come on, pick up Aunt Ling, let's go to the mall, okay?" Cao Shujie had already dialed his sister's phone.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mengmeng shake his head: "It's not good, don't want an aunt." ”

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter, not knowing what to say.

"Brother, are you here?" Cao Huifang's voice came from the phone, and she could hear it clearly in the car.

When Meng Meng heard this, she shouted: "Ah, it's my aunt, I don't want it." ”

After saying that, she turned her head and got into her mother's arms, and then turned her head to look around in her mother's arms.

Cao Huifang also heard her niece's voice, and she shouted happily: "Mengmeng, you are also coming to pick me up, my aunt is very happy, and I will buy you toys in a while." ”

"Fangfang, there are a lot of cars at the gate of your school, I can't drive in, you come out, I will wait for you here at the school gate." Cao Shujie said.

"Okay, brother, wait a minute, I'll go over right away." Cao Huifang happily agreed, she had spent enough time in school in the past two days.

After Mengmeng saw her father hanging up the phone in the back, she shouted anxiously: "Dad, let's go, my aunt is coming." ”

In her eyes, her aunt is the embodiment of the devil.

"Let's go, we're here to pick up your aunt." Cao Shujie looked at his daughter, thinking to himself, is your aunt so terrible in your heart?

Cheng Xiaolin also stroked her daughter's little head and coaxed her: "Mengmeng, didn't your aunt tell you just now, she wants to buy you toys." ”

Cheng Xiaolin taught her: "Let's go to the mall later, which toy do you like, let my aunt buy it for you, okay?" ”

Hearing that she could buy something for herself, Mengmeng was still very excited, and she thought about it for more than ten seconds, and then nodded a little hesitantly: "Okay then!" ”

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter's serious appearance and wanted to laugh.

After waiting for a while, Mengmeng couldn't stay still, she leaned on the car window and stared out with wide eyes.

Just as Cao Shujie was about to make a second call to his sister and ask her where she was, his daughter's voice was heard in his ears: "Dad, look, aunt." ”

"Mom, look!"

The little guy's eyes were quite sharp, and Cao Shujie looked in the direction where his daughter raised her finger, and in the direction of the gate, his sister was dragging a suitcase out.

Cao Shujie opened the car door, got out of the car and greeted him.

Cheng Xiaolin also hugged her daughter and got down from the back seat: "Fangfang, how many days off have you had?" ”

"Sister-in-law, we have been on for more than a month, and we will not go to school until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Cao Huifang said.

"That's okay, just take advantage of the Chinese New Year to rest at home for a while."

Cheng Xiaolin opened the car door and said, "Fangfang, get in the car, let's go to the five-star department store to buy something and go home." ”

Meng Meng also shouted at Cao Huifang at this time: "Auntie, buy me toys." ”

"Okay, Mengmeng, you let your aunt kiss one, I'll buy you two toys later, okay." Cao Huifang stretched out her hands to hug her.

Even Cheng Xiaolin thought that her daughter would agree. But who knew that Mengmeng turned around without thinking about it, hugged Cheng Xiaolin's neck with both hands, and a pair of small hands were still tightly locked: "I don't." ”

Feeling Cao Huifang pulling her from behind, Mengmeng was very scared, and shouted loudly with a crying voice: "Mom, save me, mom hug me." ”

made a few people cry and laugh, Cheng Xiaolin really couldn't think of why her daughter was so afraid of this aunt, she wondered how the sister-in-law provoked Mengmeng?

Cao Shujie said next to him: "Okay, don't make a fuss yet, let's get out of here and make room for others." ”

That's the right thing.

Cao Shujie also found that there were more and more cars coming here, and they were not able to go out now, and if they continued to grind, they would really be blocked inside, and they didn't know how long they would have to be blocked before they could leave.

After Cao Shujie drove away from Yiling University, he drove directly to the five-star department store in the center of the city, which is a localized large-scale comprehensive shopping mall.

After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Cao Shujie and his three three and one small four people took the elevator directly to the first floor.

After exiting the elevator, this floor is mainly for shoes, leather goods, jewelry, cosmetics and bags.

When Mengmeng saw the cosmetics seller, she didn't leave, pointed to the cosmetics set on the glass cabinet on one of the counters and shouted, "Mom, powder." ”

"Powder." Meng Meng shouted loudly, she also opened her left hand, grabbed the five fingers of her right hand together, dipped it in the palm of her left hand a few times as if pinching something, and then raised her right hand and began to wipe her face, looking at the palm of her hand while wiping it, as if she was looking in the mirror.

Cao Huifang stared at her from the side, and she asked her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, Mengmeng is imitating you to rub powder, right?" ”

Cao Shujie can see what his daughter is doing, but a three-year-old girl, how can she understand?

I also learned the essence of it.

Could it be that stinky beauty is a matter of nature?

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter's skillful movements and couldn't cry or laugh: "Meng Meng must have seen me rubbing powder at the time, and she learned it from the side." ”

Not to mention Cao Huifang and Cao Shujie, their brothers and sisters, even the waiter at the counter couldn't help laughing after seeing Mengmeng's skillful movements, Mengmeng was like a little drama in her eyes, simple and cute.

"The little girl is so cute." The waiter at the counter said with a smile.

Mengmeng looked at her and said sweetly: "Thank you, Auntie." ”

"Oh, such a sensible child, your parents taught me so well, and that stinky boy in our family will be in vain." The waiter at the counter was full of envy.

But she is usually very busy, and she has no time to teach her son, although she knows in her heart that it will definitely not be good for a long time, but there is no way, the real problem is in front of her, and she has to earn money to support her family.

She works two shifts, her husband works three shifts, neither of them can spare a complete person to take care of the children, she sometimes considers changing jobs, but in this industry, the salary of the five-star department store is the highest, and the benefits are also the best.

Say 1,000, 10,000, salary income is the most realistic, and in the end you can only send the child to the elderly.

But the old man's discipline of her son is really indescribable.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Cao Shujie doesn't know what she thinks, but this waiter praised the two of them around the corner, which made him feel very comfortable, and then saw that the products on this counter were also a brand product, so buy a set for his wife first.

The waiter didn't expect that because she could sell a set of products with a word, and the price of this set of products was not cheap, Cao Shujie handed her the payment list and left with the suit, she still felt a little incredible.

She hasn't even started to convince the other party with her three-inch incorruptible tongue, and people will buy it and leave.

"Brother, you're too happy, aren't you, the money is burning, right?" Cao Huifang said this about her brother.

She wants it too, but she doesn't have that much money, so she's greedy.

It was impossible to ask her mother for money.

Cao Shujie didn't bother to look at her, Cheng Xiaolin directly handed her the cosmetics set she was carrying: "Fangfang, na, give it to you." ”

"Me?" Cao Huifang pointed to her nose back, a little overwhelmed.

Cheng Xiaolin smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's for you, take it quickly." ”

She said: "I still have several sets, I can't use them, and it's a waste to keep them at home, so you can use them." ”

"Sister-in-law, this ......"

"Take it quickly, you can save some use, and you can use it for a long time." Cheng Xiaolin grabbed her sister-in-law's hand and put the bag rope of the suit on her hand.

Meng Meng leaned over and watched, and she shouted: "Mom, I want it too, rub the powder." ”

"You little kid, what kind of powder." Cheng Xiaolin scared her: "If you rub the adult's powder, your face can't stand it, and it will be easy to break, and it will be ugly when the time comes." ”

Mengmeng's pupils were obviously dilated, and she looked scared, and before her mother could finish speaking, she quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't want it." ”

After saying that, he also used his little hands to protect his face, looking scared.

Looking at her daughter, Cheng Xiaolin showed a thief smile on her face, and she said: "Don't be afraid, Mengmeng, my mother will buy you a set of special ones for children in a few days, okay." ”

"Okay." There was a smile on her little face.

Cao Shujie also bought his father a belt and a pair of leather shoes on this floor.

Originally, I wanted to buy a pair of leather shoes for his mother, but after looking at a few styles, they were not suitable and continued to go up.

I bought a bunch of things for Mengmeng on the second floor, bought them for his mother and mother-in-law on the third floor, and walked around until I was done, and I bought them for the whole family, and finally went to the underground supermarket on the negative 1st floor, and prepared all kinds of different New Year's goods such as cigarettes, alcohol, gift boxes, candy, and dried fruits.

When pushing two full shopping carts from the supermarket on the negative floor to the parking lot, Cao Shujie's car trunk was full, and he stuffed the co-pilot with things, and then drove towards Caojiazhuang with a full load.

The road was full of cute laughter, and he didn't feel bored on the way back, Cao Shujie drove and rushed back to Caojiazhuang in one go, and didn't go to his parents, and took his sister directly to his new home.

Mother Wang Yuelan is cooking here, and my father has also come down from the orchard, waiting for them to come back and start eating.

The last time Cao Huifang came back, she took two days off to come back while working in the summer.

At that time, her brother's house had not yet begun to be renovated, and when she saw the renovated house, Cao Huifang had a thought in her heart, she also wanted to build her own.

Compared with the house where her parents live now, it is not a grade at all.

"Brother, how much did it cost?" Cao Huifang was curious.

"It's not much, plus decoration, a total of more than 300,000 yuan was spent, mainly because of the decoration and the purchase of furniture and household appliances, and the rest are average."

Listening to his brother's understated tone, as if the 300,000 yuan was not money at all, Cao Huifang felt a little sour.

What kind of person, just a little money swelled up in the sky.

If you make a lot of money in the future, won't you fly to the moon and not come back?

As soon as Cao Huifang entered the door, she saw her grandfather sitting in the living room, she was very surprised, and ran directly over to hold Cao Zhenghu's hand and shouted, "Grandpa, when did you come back?" ”

"I, I came back half a month earlier than you, Fangfang, why are you on vacation?"

"Grandpa, we're early, and junior high school and high school haven't had a holiday yet!" Cao Huifang said.

Wang Yuelan was cooking in the kitchen, and when she heard her daughter's voice, she quickly put down the tools in her hand and came over.

When she saw her daughter Cao Huifang, Wang Yuelan felt a little resentful, raised her hand and wanted to slap her, but finally took it back stiffly: "You kid, why didn't you come back from the National Day holiday?" ”

"Did you go to school for two years and think I couldn't control you outside?" Wang Yuelan said to her.

Cao Huifang was embarrassed by what her mother said, and kept hanging her head, not daring to raise her mother to look at her.

It was Cheng Xiaolin who came to persuade them, and the two stopped pouring out their thoughts in a different way.

"Huifang just came back, she must be hungry, hurry up and wash and eat." Father Cao Jianguo came out of the kitchen with a pot of stewed meat.

Hearing him say this, Wang Yuelan nodded again and again: "Yes, you are all hungry, go wash your hands and eat." ”

"Grandma, I didn't eat either." Meng Meng said loudly.

When Wang Yuelan heard her granddaughter shouting like this, she moved faster.

I went to the kitchen and brought out the rest of the meal, took another look at the boiling water in the pot, and then cooked the dumplings later, and they were ready.

"Grandma, are you alright?" Meng Meng asked outside the door.

Wang Yuelan said: "It's almost ready, have you finished washing your hands, and you will eat dumplings in a while." ”

"Okay." Meng Meng ran to wash her hands first.

Cao Huifang also said to her later: "Mengmeng, you can't do anything else, you are quite active in eating." ”

"Auntie, what did you say?" Meng Meng asked her blankly.

Cao Huifang felt that talking to her niece about these things was like playing the piano to a cow, and she had no interest in saying it herself.

After eating, Cao Huifang had time to go around the 1st and 2nd floors, and after reading it carefully, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

She thought it was much better than a building.

Speaking of the upcoming New Year, Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan have said a lot, which is nothing more than going to visit the door and maintaining these relatives in the family.

This is not a difficult matter, Cao Shujie nodded: "Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about these things, I will definitely do it all." ”

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I went to Yiling City today, and bought you some clothes, shoes, and some other things, all of which are in the car, and haven't taken them down yet, and after dinner, you can try on the clothes and shoes to see if they fit, if they are not suitable, I will change them." Cao Shujie said.

As soon as Wang Yuelan and Cui Jianguo heard that it was troublesome, they said, "What do you have to buy there for?" Let's just go to town and buy one. ”

"Mom, Dad, it's different." That's what Cao Shujie said.

After the meal, Cao Shujie was busy taking down all the things in the car and putting them away, and handed them the clothes and shoes he bought for his parents and grandfather.

"Grandpa, this is for you."

"Mom, Dad, it's yours."

"These are all selected by Linlin for you, wait and see if they are suitable."

Hearing that it was bought by the daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law), Cao Jianguo, Wang Yuelan and Cao Zhenghu originally wanted to say a few words, but they immediately changed their words: "Oh, I just said that this dress looks weird and beautiful, and it is better than the clothes sold in the town." ”

"Really, it looks good to look at."

Seeing her grandparents and grandfather praising her mother, she also said: "Grandpa, and me, I also chose it for you." ”

After Cao Zhenghu listened, he touched her little head with a smile and said, "Mengmeng loves the old man the most." ”

"That's it." Meng Meng responded unceremoniously.

Cao Huifang was curious about what her brother's orchard looked like now, and wanted to see what the fruit trees they planted on Labor Day looked like now.

Without saying a word, he ran up the mountain.

When she saw their neighbor Brother Chao working in the orchard, Cao Huifang was quite curious and said hello to him: "Brother Chao, why are you here?" ”

When Cao Shuchao saw Cao Huifang coming back, he also shouted with a smile: "Isn't this our college student, Fangfang, are you on vacation?" ”

"Well, Brother Chao, we're on winter vacation." Cao Huifang said.

"It's better to go to college, Fangfang, you have to study hard and do great things like your brother in the future." That's what Cao Shuchao said.

In one sentence, Cao Guifang said both excited and embarrassed.

But she knows how many pounds and taels she has, not to mention that she is as powerful as her brother, and she feels that she can't even do half of her brother's level.
