"Dad, set off fireworks, hurry up." Meng Meng couldn't wait and began to urge her father.

Hearing Mengmeng say this, the others also began to urge: "Master Dog, hurry up." ”

“……”

The sudden appearance of the nickname made the scene silent for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter.

Cao Shujie was also depressed when he heard this nickname, and his feelings were not only that someone in the county called him so, but even Caojiazhuang.

Cao Shujie felt that with this nickname alone, he was famous in Pingyuan County this time.

"Who gave me this nickname, I have the ability to stand up, let's go head-to-head, I promise not to break your legs." Cao Shujie scolded with a smile.

The surrounding villagers didn't care, everyone was waiting for Cao Shujie to set off fireworks.

saw Cao Shujie walking to the center of the field with a 50-centimeter square fireworks carton, holding a flashlight in one hand for lighting, and a windproof light machine in the other, and running back quickly after lighting the lead.

Before he could run to the crowd, there was a 'bang' sound behind him, and then the dark area instantly turned colorful, reflecting all kinds of lights flashing on the spectators in front of him, Cao Shujie didn't run, he turned around, and also calmed down and began to enjoy the fireworks rising from the scene.

The crowd cheered.

There are also fireworks in the countryside, but there are not many of them.

In addition to the fact that there is a lot of money in their hands, most of the remaining people will choose to save their money, they will not buy so many fireworks to play like Cao Shujie, for them, this is too wasteful of money.

But no one thought that Cao Shujie was such an outlier in Caojiazhuang, and he dared to play like this.

Many people looked at the busy figure in the center of the field, and their eyes were full of envy.

"If I had Brother Jie's ability, I wouldn't go out, and I would have to be angry to earn some money outside, how boring it would be." Someone whispered to the person next to him.

The person next to him was Cao Shuai, one of the two people who worked for Cao Jianhua's pig farm.

The fattening pigs in Cao Jianhua's pig farm were all cleaned up yesterday, and the New Year was coming up in a few days, so Cao Jianhua also took the opportunity to give him and Cao Jianjun a holiday.

Hearing him say this, Cao Shuai said with a smile: "Wanchun, if you don't want to go out, I can introduce you to work at Uncle Jianhua's side, do you want to go?" ”

"Hey the pigs?" After Cao Wanchun heard this, he shook his head and said, "That smell is too bad, I can't do that job." ”

Cao Shuai didn't want to deal with him, but he still asked, "Wan Chun, what kind of work are you doing outside?" How much money can I earn in a month? ”

"I, I work in the factory for maintenance, and if I deduct the insurance a month, it will only be 1,800 yuan." Cao Wanchun said.

He whispered: "The salary is not high or low, just try to be idle, and you can learn a craft after a long time." ”

"Oh, 1800 isn't low." Cao Shuai said this, and then there was no reaction.

Cao Wanchun felt uncomfortable, and he deliberately asked, "Then how much money do you have a month at home?" ”

"It's not a lot, I'm tired of this job, and it's about the same amount a month, and I don't have insurance yet." Cao Shuai looks like I'm not as good as you.

Hearing Cao Shuai say this, Cao Wanchun felt uncomfortable in his heart, he knew very well that if Cao Shuai's income was really similar to him, then he was far worse than Cao Shuai.

After all, Cao Shuai is in his hometown, regardless of clothing, food, housing and transportation, Cao Shuai's consumption is almost none.

But Cao Wanchun needs money for renting a house, eating, transportation, etc., and the 1,800 yuan he earned is almost gone by the end of the month.

While the two of them were talking, Cao Shujie waited for the fireworks just now to finish, and then lit another fireworks.

This firework also has a name called the rotating pear flower, it has been blooming in the rotation of the dazzling silver light from the bottom until it rises into the air, and people who don't know must guess the alien invasion after seeing this anomaly.

That night, Cao Shujie continued to set off fireworks for more than half an hour after the people came, which made everyone who came over addicted, and some people were discussing who would come over tomorrow night to relay.

Don't hide the fireworks you bought in your own house, take them out and enjoy them.

……

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and in these two days, Cao Shujie went to visit several elders and gave some New Year's gifts to the older generation in the family.

Or take his grandfather to his old buddies and get something by the way.

Until the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Cao Shujie got up early in the morning and began to clean up and pack up his things.

Tomorrow will be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he has to prepare to make some of the New Year's goods.

"Shujie, you kill those two chickens and stew them later." Cheng Xiaolin was busy in the kitchen and shouted outside.

Cao Shujie was chatting with his grandfather outside at this time, playing with Mengmeng, and after hearing his wife's instructions, Cao Shujie didn't say a word and went to catch chickens in the dog cage outside.

These two chickens were brought over by his father Cao Jianguo two days ago, and he was asked to kill them during the Chinese New Year and stew them out in advance for later use.

Cao Shujie was also not polite to his father.

When he was holding a knife to kill chickens, Mengmeng squatted down to look at it again, and asked him from time to time: "Dad, what are you doing?" ”

"Kill the chicken, make you chicken to eat, understand?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Meng Meng blinked her eyes and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Kill the chicken, the knife!" ”

"Yes!" Cao Shujie nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, Mengmeng ran towards the house, which made Cao Shujie very confused.

After a while, I saw my daughter running out with a red plastic toy knife, and she handed the toy knife in her hand to Cao Shujie: "Dad, knife, give!" ”

Cao Shujie looked at the plastic knife in his daughter's hand, and was a little confused.

I was still thinking about what Mengmeng was going to do just now, but I didn't expect her to bring her toy knife and let her father use it to kill chickens.

"Mengmeng, thank you!" Cao Shujie gestured: "Your knife is not good, it's too big, the chicken is too small......"

Cao Huifang listened to his brother's serious nonsense on the side, and couldn't help laughing.

But what she didn't expect was that Mengmeng heard her laugh and was not happy, so she rushed towards her with the toy knife in her hand, holding the plastic knife and waving it indiscriminately, as if she wanted to chop her with a knife.

Cao Huifang stood up and ran, shouting behind her as she ran: "Mengmeng, what do you want to do, murder your aunt?" ”

"Poof...... Meng Meng pouted and foamed out, she said, "Let you bully me and beat you!" ”

Meng Meng was very angry with her aunt, and waved the big knife in her hand back and forth, driving her aunt around the sofa in the living room.

When the old man Cao Zhenghu saw it, he was directly amused.

When Cao Shujie finished getting the two chickens, Mengmeng lost to her aunt again, and was being grabbed by Cao Huifang under her armpit and circled, Mengmeng kept shouting 'let go of me', but every time she turned around, she also let out a hehe laugh.

When Cao Huifang put her down, Mengmeng was unhappy again, so she had to ask her aunt Cao Huifang to take her around twice.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't bother to care about them, she was also busy washing pork, beef and mutton, the water had been changed several times, and there was still blood, Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband: "Shujie, are you done?" If you're done, you go and take out the meat grinder, and later grind some minced pork and beef, and some meatballs. ”

"Okay, I'll go grind the minced meat." Cao Shujie is quite sharp.

But Cao Shujie had just found the meat grinder, and before he could grind the meat filling, a familiar voice came from outside the gate.

"Shujie, are you at home?"

"Woohoo!" Daikoku smelled an unfamiliar smell and screamed at the gate.

This series of dog barking startled the people outside the door.

Cao Shujie, who was preparing to grind meat in the room, was also stunned for a moment, and he shouted: "Cao Zhen? ”

"Big black, don't scream!" Cao Shujie scolded it, put down the work in his hand, took two pieces of paper to wipe his hands and walked towards the gate.

Standing at the gate was his little Cao Zhen.

But compared with a few months ago, Cao Zhen's guy has gained a lot of weight, but his skin is a little darker than before, but this way he looks healthier.

Still carrying a few bags in his hand, after seeing Cao Shujie, a pure smile appeared on his chubby face.

Cao Shujie walked a few steps quickly and came to the gate: "Your company has reported the completion of the report?" ”

"I finished reporting yesterday, it's a holiday, if I don't have a holiday, can I come back to you?" Cao Zhen spoke, his eyes kept looking at the two-story building.

It is different from the previous rough house, after the decoration, the furniture is added, which is not much different from the small villas that Cao Zhen saw when he went to the villa area.

"That's great!" Cao Zhen sighed.

"What are you doing standing in the doorway, come in and have a cup of tea." Cao Shujie pulled him and walked home.

Turning into the yard from the gate, Cao Zhen was startled when he saw the four dogs: "Why have they grown so big?" ”

"What you said is really not level, Da Ha and Erha are almost a year old, and Da Hei and Xiao Hei are also 10 months old, can they not grow up?" Cao Shujie waved at Daha and Erha and told them to go back to the kennel.

Cao Zhen looked at the four dogs with great interest: "Shujie, you were nicknamed 'Dog Master' because of these four dogs, right?" ”

"You don't want to open a pot, if I knew who gave me such a broken nickname, I would have to cut him!" Cao Shujie said scoldingly.

He thought the nickname was really ugly.

Cao Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say this.

Entering the house, Cao Zhen talked about the bits and pieces after he went to Xinjiang, but Cao Shujie was not interested in how he contracted the land and how to grow cotton after the beginning of spring, he asked: "Cao Zhen, to be honest, are you looking for a partner in Xinjiang?" ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie's eyes stared at him without blinking, but this look confirmed Cao Shujie's guess.

"It's strange for me to find a partner over there, and besides, I'm this age, so I should find a partner!" Cao Zhen said.

Cao Shujie sighed and asked him, "Then will you not come back in the future?" Or are you planning to stay in Xinjiang for a long time? ”

After a pause, Cao Shujie asked again: "How do my uncle and aunt think about it?" ”

"You're like my mom!" Cao Zhen complained about him.

Having said that, he said, "Eighty percent is coming back." ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhen told Patigul's life experience again.

After listening to him, Cao Shujie also sympathized with Patigul: "So you say that she is the only one left in your family?" ”

Cao Zhen nodded, and he said, "When you see your sister-in-law in the future, you can't talk about this problem, or I'll cut you." ”

"......" Cao Shujie looked confused.

Co-authored with a woman, and trampled the 'brother' under his feet.

"Brother Zhen, when did you come back?" Cheng Xiaolin came out of the kitchen, and when she saw Cao Zhen, she took the initiative to say hello.

Cao Zhen saw her and said with a smile: "I came back last night, and I came back too late, otherwise I would have come to look for you yesterday." ”

Cheng Xiaolin nodded, she saw the girl who had just run down from the second floor, so she beckoned to her: "Mengmeng, come and call uncle." ”

Meng Meng was very well-behaved, and when he ran over, he shouted 'uncle', coaxing Cao Zhen very happy, he handed Meng Meng the things he had just brought in, and said, "This is a little specialty I brought back from Xinjiang, Meng Meng, you try it." ”

If it was someone else's, Cao Shujie simply refused neatly, but Cao Zhen wouldn't, he said to his daughter: "Mengmeng, eat quickly." ”

Then he said to his daughter: "Mengmeng, don't hurry up and thank you uncle." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" As soon as Mengmeng heard that there was something to eat, she became very happy, and she carried a few bags with a little difficulty and went to the side to study it slowly.

"Are they all back?" Cao Shujie thought that it was better to choose a day than to hit the sun, Cao Fei, Cao Shulun, Cao Shuyang and Cao Tiemin If they all came back, they would simply gather together today.

But Cao Zhen didn't know, he said: "I haven't asked them yet, I shouldn't have come back yet." ”

"I'll call and ask." Cao Shujie said.

But after a round of phone calls, only two of the other four people came back, and Cao Shuyang also had a night shift, and he only came back in time for Ming'er.

Cao Shulun is still working in the factory, and he will not have a holiday until tomorrow on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve!

"Regardless of the two of them, I'll call Cao Fei and Cao Tiemin over, let's have a drink today." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Zhen originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Cao Shujie take out a bottle of Wuliangye, he swallowed the words he wanted to refuse.

"So extravagant?" Cao Zhen asked him.

Who knew that Cao Shujie didn't look back and said: "You forced the little one to go for half a year, and finally came back and entertained you with Wuliangye, don't lose it!" ”

"The dog is bright!" Cao Zhen said.

Cheng Xiaolin, who was next to her, couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.

Meng Meng didn't know what her mother was laughing at, but it didn't prevent her from smirking too.

Cao Shujie looked at his daughter's stupid appearance, and he was happy in his heart.

He said to Cao Zhen: "Cao Zhen, it's really time for you to come, I just stewed the big rooster in the morning, and I'll make two bowls of pure beef balls and pork balls later, and then two vegetarian dishes today, okay." ”

"Why not, just make a plate of pickles!" Cao Zhen said.

But Cao Shujie was not happy, and kept chattering about what to prepare.

After Cao Fei and Cao Tiemin came over, Cheng Xiaolin had already prepared the dishes, and the four of them drank them together.

Today's first 8000, a little tired, this week will definitely make up, the old tree is not bad.
