About 20 minutes later, Cao Shujie led Meng Meng and Cao Shulun out of the house together.

Mengmeng was wrapped like a zongzi, only revealing a pair of eyes, she shook off Cao Shujie's hand and ran around behind her father.

"Daddy, look." Meng Meng half-arched forward, and stabbed her hands diagonally to the sides into the sky, like the wings of an airplane, stomping on the ground and gliding forward.

ran a few meters away, looked back at his father, and found that Cao Shujie didn't look at her, Mengmeng was unhappy, and stood in place and shouted: "Dad, look at it." ”

Cao Shujie and Cao Shulun, who were in the back, couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.

Cao Shulun said: "My sons are like this sometimes, I really don't know what they think. ”

"Who knows, maybe they wanted to be pilots when they were younger." Cao Shujie said.

He shouted to the girl who ran out in front of him, "Mengmeng, slow down, don't fall." ”

"Dad, alright, I'm fine." Meng Meng said word by word.

After finishing speaking, Meng Meng bent down again, and spread her hands diagonally like a fighter jet, as if she could fly with a burst of strength.

There were a few people in the south walking north together, a little far away, and Cao Shujie didn't see who was coming.

When the other party got closer, someone suddenly shouted, "Brother Jie, come out for a walk." ”

"Oh, it's Shuming, and you're also out for a walk?" Cao Shujie saw the other party clearly, he is Cao Jianhua's son, he is still in college, and there is only half a year left before graduation.

"Well, I came out for a walk, and I was thinking about giving my Grandpa Tiger a New Year's greeting." Cao Shuming said.

At this moment, Cao Shuming still remembers what his father and mother said.

When you see Cao Shujie, you must be polite, and when you come out to pay New Year's greetings at night, you must go to the two-story building in the north of Caojiazhuang to pay a New Year's greeting to Cao Zhenghu.

Cao Shuming is not ignorant of what is happening at home.

He knew that his father's pig raising was not smooth, and he also consulted Cao Shujie many times, and the scene of Cao Shujie's fierce attack on the dog thief on the Yellow River barrage dam also spread in the village, Cao Shuming felt that Cao Shujie was simply his idol.

In addition, Cao Shujie himself is very powerful, he invested millions of contracts to plant fruits in the mountains, engage in breeding, and make the wind and water, and people spent more than 300,000 yuan to build a two-story villa in the countryside.

Who doesn't envy Caojiazhuang?

His courage is officially Cao Shuming, they are such a big young young man admired the most.

"You're going to my house, go over, my grandfather is at home." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Jie, you go shopping first, and when you are free, I will invite you to dinner." Cao Shuming said.

Two groups of people staggered by, and Cao Shuming and a few others continued to walk north.

Cao Shujie greeted his daughter Mengmeng, and continued to walk south with Cao Shulun, preparing to go to Cao Zhen, Cao Shuyang, and Cao Fei first, and go together to pay New Year's greetings to several elders of the Cao family.

More and more people are coming out at this point in time.

After meeting on the way, everyone will stop and say a few words with a smile and send a few New Year's wishes.

Many of them will shake hands with Cao Shujie when they see him, and want to hear him tell the story of what happened that day.

There are also people who are playing with cuteness, and the little guy doesn't cry at this time, and his performance is particularly likable.

Sending away another wave of people, Cao Shulun looked at Cao Shujie and said, "Shujie, do you have any ideas to be the village head?" ”

"Or find someone to introduce you to the party, it's not a big problem for you." Cao Shulun gave him an idea: "When the time comes, when Uncle Jiangang retreats, you will go up directly, with your current prestige, it is a safe thing to take down this secretary." ”

"When the time comes, you run Caojiazhuang well, even if our brothers can't mix up outside, they will have a place to take a breath when they come back."

Hearing Cao Shulun say this, Cao Shujie threw him a few blank eyes, and wanted to ask him: "Is there water in your brain?" ”

"With my casual nature, I can't do that kind of work at all, so don't think about this kind of beautiful thing, and work hard outside." Cao Shujie said very seriously.

This is not the first time he has heard such words, regardless of whether the person who said these words intentionally or unintentionally, he is really not interested in the village chief or the village party secretary.

In his opinion, it is better to spend more time with his wife and children, parents and grandfather.

Cao Shulun relied on his understanding of Cao Shujie, he knew that Cao Shujie was not joking, and secretly said a pity in his heart.

Meng Meng didn't feel pity, she ran to the front in one breath, and stood there again and shouted.

They went to Cao Zhen, Cao Shuyang and Cao Fei's house to form a team of six people, first from the middle to the south, all the way over, and went door to door to visit the few old people left in the Cao family.

When I met a few uncles on the way, I would stand and chat, give a cigarette to the elders, and talk about work.

At this time, Cao Shujie found that the most popular was his daughter Mengmeng.

Whoever saw it wanted to give her a handful of candy cubes, peanuts, the pockets of her clothes had long been stuffed, and she had come all the way, and she had also harvested 21 yuan of New Year's money, and she was happy to laugh all the time.

As they were walking, they came to Cao Zhenghe's house at the south end of Caojiazhuang, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard the barking of the little dog.

Cao Zhenghe is almost 80 years old this year, which is about the same age as Cao Shujie and his grandfather Cao Zhenghu.

After Cao Zhenghu came back from his eldest son's house, he also specially asked his youngest grandson Cao Shujie to take him to see Cao Zhenghe.

Seeing Cao Shujie, Cao Zhenghe beckoned to him happily: "Shujie, come and sit." ”

"Where's your grandfather?" Cao Zhenghe asked him.

"Grandpa, my grandfather is at home, wait for you to come to my house tomorrow to sit." Cao Shujie invited him.

also asked Meng Meng to come over and shout 'Grandpa'.

"Hey, Meng Meng is so good!" Cao Zhenghe said with a smile.

He then nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will ask Brother Xu to send me over, and I have to have a drink with your grandfather while I am celebrating the New Year." ”

"Grandpa, even if it's not a New Year, as long as you want to drink, I can arrange it at any time." Cao Shujie's mouth is the same as smearing honey.

Cao Zhen, Cao Fei, and Cao Shulun next to them accused Cao Shujie of being shameless in their hearts.

Cao Shuyang suddenly asked, "Grandpa, is my brother Xu back?" ”

"I'm back, I just took a plane from Shencheng to our provincial capital last night, and I came back by car early this morning." Cao Zhenghe said.

Look, people came back by plane, in the countryside, and very few people had taken a plane, and they went up all of a sudden.

Cao Shuyang said: "That's no way, who let Brother Xu earn more!" ”

"Hey, he earns a lot, spends a lot, and I don't see him saving money." Although Cao Zhenghe said this, the pride on his face could not be concealed.

In the entire Caojiazhuang in the past, the younger generation earned the most is his grandson Cao Shuxu.

But now I have to add a Cao Shujie.

He said: "Shujie, your brother Xu said that he wanted to have a drink with you today, or you all don't leave, and have some more drinks with me at night." ”

As soon as Cao Zhenghe finished speaking, Cao Shujie waved his hand, and then stood up and prepared to go out: "Grandpa, there are still a few houses that haven't been transferred, just like this time of year, we will take advantage of the Chinese New Year to walk more, and we will not be busy another day, we will come to see you together." ”

Seeing that they were leaving, Cao Zhenghe also stood up: "Ouch, I just sat down, and I didn't even drink a bowl of tea, why are you in a hurry." ”

"Grandpa, the water is almost drunk, you sit down first, and then we will go out for a walk." Cao Zhen said.

Cao Zhenghe wanted to say something more, Mengmeng was the first to run out, Cao Shuyang and Cao Shulun also walked out of the door, and a few people walked out politely.

Before he walked out of the door, he suddenly saw a young man wearing a black down jacket, jeans, and sneakers on his feet coming in.

He and Cao Shuyang are about the same size, both of them are tall and thin.

Comparatively, he is taller than Cao Shuyang.

Seeing Cao Shuyang, Cao Zhen, and Cao Shujie, the visitor was slightly stunned, and shouted happily: "Isn't this Shuyang, Shujie, Zhenzhen?" ”

"And the two of you are Shulun and Cao Fei, I went to your house just now, and my uncle said that you all came out to shop." When the visitor saw them, he said happily.

"Oh, whose kid was that?"

"Brother Xu, my." Cao Shujie hurriedly went out and called Meng Meng back.

When Cao Zhenghe saw him, he called him: "Xu Xu, are you back so soon?" ”

"Grandpa, a few of us have been thinking about hurrying back to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and we are jumping fast." Cao Shuxu didn't feel embarrassed at all.

He has been out all the year round, and when he comes back, he doesn't have much to talk about with the elders at home.

Cao Zhen and several of them all shouted 'Brother Xu'.

In terms of age, Cao Shuxu is thirty-three years old, older than several of them.

From Cao Shuxu, we can see obvious self-confidence and arrogance, which is the added value brought by his IT work in a large factory, seeing a lot of things, knowing a lot of information, and having a high income.

"Are you leaving? Come in and sit down for a while. Cao Shuxu also understood, he didn't let them go.

"I just came back, let's talk a little longer."

"Brother Xu, we still have to go to the rest of the houses." Cao Shuyang said with a smile.

But Cao Shuxu didn't eat this, he said: "Our family, I still don't know, it's the same if you go around tomorrow." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Shuxu took Cao Shuyang and Cao Zhen's arms and walked into the house, and said to Cao Shujie and them: "Brothers, come in quickly, don't let me pull you again." ”

A few people looked at each other, ran out of ideas, and then returned to the house.

"That's right." Cao Shuxu said: "I also brought back a box of good wine, let's drink some at night." ”

"Brother Xu, we really can't drink tonight, we still have to go back for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and let's get together together in Ming'er." Cao Shujie said.

"Yes, Brother Xu, if you have time, let's have some more drinks together tomorrow." Cao Shulun also said.

Look at what they all said, Cao Shuxu didn't ask for it.

Several people drank tea and chatted with melon seeds, and Cao Shuxu also talked about his current work.

What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that this unattractive big brother would silently enter Tencent to work.

Obviously, Cao Shuyang and the others didn't know about it, and Cao Fei asked in surprise: "Brother Xu, do you mean you are in QQ?" ”

"We are all under the same group, but the things we are responsible for are different, and I am mainly responsible for QQ mailbox." Cao Shuxu said with a smile.

Obviously, Cao Shuyang, Cao Shulun, and Cao Fei didn't understand this.

Even Cao Zhen didn't understand anything.

Meng Meng is even more obedient, she just eats candy.

On the other hand, Cao Shujie frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Cao Shuxu saw him like this, and asked him: "Shujie, what's wrong?" ”

"Brother Xu, it's okay, I just thought of a name, but I can't remember it clearly." Cao Shujie said.

"What's the name?" Cao Shuxu was quite curious.

Then I heard Cao Shujie say: "Zhang Xiaolong, is the boss of your QQ mailbox?" ”

"That's right, Shujie, how do you know our boss." Cao Shuxu was curious.

There are many people in the industry who know Zhang Xiaolong, but Cao Shuxu didn't expect that Caojiazhuang, thousands of miles away, would also know the name of their boss.

It struck him as a little incredible.

Cao Shujie shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, I also heard people talk about it when I was working in the capital before. ”

"I almost forgot if you didn't say it, you also worked in the capital for a few years before." Cao Shuxu smiled, and then he said: "But our boss Zhang's main focus in the past two years is not in the mailbox, he is in charge of WeChat." ”

"WeChat?" This word touches on the knowledge blind spot of several people.

Cao Fei, Cao Zhen, Cao Shulun, and Cao Shuyang all looked at Cao Shuxu with a curious expression, wanting to wait for him to solve their doubts.

What makes Cao Shuxu feel very curious is that Cao Shujie doesn't seem to be surprised by 'WeChat', and he always has a look of indifference on his face.

"Shujie, do you know WeChat?" Cao Shuxu asked subconsciously.

Then I saw Cao Shujie nodding: "I know a little bit about this, but it's not detailed, if I'm not mistaken, it should have just been pushed out last year, right?"

Cao Shuxu gave him a thumbs up: "Shujie, you know a lot." ”

WeChat is not popular now, and there are not many people who know it, a year has passed, it is backed by the huge database of QQ, and it has only generated less than 50 million cumulative downloads, and there are many downloads in these data that have been downloaded and deleted, and then downloaded after deletion of double counting users.

There are fewer people who actually use it for day-to-day communication.

Cao Shuxu is an insider, his former boss is still a big bull like Zhang Xiaolong, and he knows more about WeChat.

He said: "It was just launched at the beginning of last year, but the market effect is not very good. ”

"Take your time, you have your back to QQ, there is such a large QQ user group, it is all water in a pool, find a way to move it, I don't think it's a big problem." Cao Shujie said so.

After Cao Shuxu heard what he said, he pondered his statement, and suddenly felt quite vivid.

So much so that he was more curious about Cao Shujie's previous experience, so he asked him: "Shujie, what did you do in the capital before?" Is it also the Internet? Something to do with online social networking? ”

"No, I'm just doing agricultural planting and research, if I engage in the Internet, will I come back, I would have gone to Shencheng to join Brother Xu a long time ago." Cao Shujie said.

Hearing him say this, Cao Shuxu pointed at him and laughed: "Shujie, your mouth can bring dead people to life, but there is really no one." ”

But the more Cao Shuyang and the others listened, the more confused they became, and then they simply took out their mobile phones to check.

Cao Shuxu was very curious about what Cao Shujie thought, and he actually contracted land in his hometown to plant orchards and engage in breeding.

A research-oriented talent like him who has crossed over from one big industry to another big industry is not something that ordinary people have.

"Brother Xu, I won't hide it from you, I just can't get along outside, so I can only go back to my hometown to eat." Cao Shujie said so.

But no one believed it, including Cao Zhen, and several of them didn't believe it.

Cao Shuyang also despised him: "Shujie, there are no outsiders, you don't have to make this excuse." ”

"I'll make an excuse for wool, and you won't believe me when I tell the truth." Cao Shujie was also helpless.

Sometimes he tells the truth, but everyone else thinks it's nonsense.

After a pause, he continued: "You don't know, when I was working in the capital, I was mainly engaged in research, and when I encountered a research topic or encountered a problem, I didn't do it in vain, I used to sleep only more than 3 hours a day for more than a month, sometimes I was in the company to lay on the floor, and I got up after a little sleep and continued to work, can you imagine that feeling?" ”

Several people couldn't imagine it, and it was the first time they heard Cao Shujie tell this unknown story.

But after Cao Shuxu heard what he said, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I understand, so that's the case, Brother Shujie, you were in a similar situation before and now!" ”

"Oh, I forgot that you IT people are all desperate Saburo, and my experience is compared to yours." Cao Shujie said.

In Cao Zhen's puzzled eyes, Cao Shujie said again: "Brother Xu, I happened to meet someone who was engaged in IT in the capital, and that guy was often busy until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, fighting better than me." ”

"I couldn't stand that feeling, and I wanted to live a few more years, so I ran back." Cao Shujie told the truth for the first time.

But Cao Zhen didn't have that kind of experience, and they were skeptical of what Cao Shujie said.

But Cao Shuxu believed what Cao Shujie said for the first time, and when he heard that Cao Shujie came back for this reason, Cao Shuxu sighed, and he said, "Shujie, I am in a similar situation to you now." ”

"After people are over 30, their thinking is running slowly, especially in the past two years, I feel more and more that my energy is not as good as before, and I can't fight those young people who have just joined the company when I stay up late, and I am also thinking about what to do next." Cao Shuxu shook his head and said.

It was the first time Cao Zhenghe had heard his grandson talk about these things, and he was surprised: "Shuxu, don't you want to do it in Shencheng?" ”

Cao Shuxu opened his mouth, and suddenly found that he couldn't accurately express his thoughts to his grandfather, so he had to say: "Grandpa, I want to find a better and easier job in the next step." ”

"I'll just say, Xu Xu, you are the most capable." Cao Zhenghe smiled happily again, inadvertently revealing the incomplete teeth in his mouth.

But Cao Zhen and Cao Shuyang next to them understood that Cao Shuxu, an idol who used to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, was also a little unable to hold on, and wanted to retire from his current position.

They really couldn't imagine what kind of situation Cao Xu was facing, but Cao Shujie's experience seemed to be deeper.

At this time, they realized that they did not know much about Cao Shujie's situation in the capital.

"Shujie, how about you come back and contract the mountain orchard?" Cao Shuxu asked with interest.

"And that breeding, what do you think of the prospects?"

This question stopped Cao Shujie, and he said: "Brother Xu, to tell the truth, whether it is planting orchards or farming, these two jobs are not easy to do. ”

"Not to mention anything else, the two pieces of land I am contracting now, in 30 years, the contract fee alone is 1 million, and the basic investment I will invest in the future is not less than 1 million, and there are other inputs, which are higher in general." Cao Shujie said.

"Good guy, Shujie, you have made a lot of money in the capital." Cao Shuxu was surprised.

But Cao Shujie followed and said: "Brother Xu, you think too much, I now have a bank loan of more than 3 million yuan, and I am still worried about how to repay it in three years." ”

"......" Cao Shuxu didn't want to answer.

Cao Shuyang: They didn't want to answer.

When they think of the loan of more than 3 million, this figure can overwhelm them.

Cao Shuxu said: "I have a friend from Shencheng, who wants to take me to do the data cable business, and the investment is not low, I have been hesitating. ”

"Data cable?" Cao Shujie shook his head, this was a very unfamiliar field for him, and he didn't plan to be an outsider to act as an insider, so as not to lead others astray.

Cao Shuyang: They don't understand it even more.

"Hey, it's getting harder and harder to do now." Cao Shuxu said.

With this exchange and communication, Cao Shuxu's previous tall image in the minds of Cao Zhen and the others suddenly disappeared.

also let them know that Cao Shuxu, whom they used to admire, turned out to be an ordinary person, but he earned a little more.

Chatting and chatting, they started more and more topics, no longer limited to IT, or orchards, breeding these industries, including Cao Shuyang, Cao Shulun, Cao Fei, Cao Zhen They also joined in.

Cao Shuxu also mentioned something, he said: "I found something very interesting some time ago, but that thing is a bit evil, and I haven't understood it after studying it for half a month." ”

Even Cao Shuxu was very interested in something, which directly aroused the curiosity of Cao Shulun and Cao Shuyang, and they all wanted to know the answer.

Then I heard Cao Shuxu say: "Bitcoin, have you heard of it?" ”

In his mind, Bitcoin is more out of the way, and a few of them shouldn't know it.

But who knew that Cao Zhen immediately said this time: "I've seen this thing in the news, but I don't understand what it's for?" ”

The others shook their heads, they really hadn't deliberately understood it, it was not what he thought.

Cao Shuxu was also surprised, he didn't expect that some of these brothers had really heard of Bitcoin.
