Following Cao Shuxu into the house, he said: "Sit down, I just made the tea, as well as fruits and snacks, you eat first, and let your sister-in-law fry a few dishes later, and our brothers have a good drink." ”

Cao Shujie, Cao Zhen, and Cao Tiemin were not polite, and sat down separately.

The four of them were talking, and a woman who was not tall and wore a floral cotton jacket came in.

Although she is dressed rusticly, she has light makeup on her face, and her temperament is still different from that of most women in Caojiazhuang.

This is Cao Shuxu's wife Ding Yunan, she is an authentic Shencheng person.

After seeing Cao Shujie and the others, Ding Yunan spoke Mandarin with the flavor of Shencheng, and said with a smile: "Shuxu also told me just now that there are a few brothers with good relationships who want to come over to play, just the guys." ”

"You drink water first, I'll go cook, you drink some at noon."

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be busy." Cao Shujie stood up and said.

He knew that this was Cao Shuxu's wife, but he couldn't remember the other party's name, and it was definitely right to call his sister-in-law.

"It's okay, you sit down and drink water and have some snacks first."

As he spoke, Ding Yunan wore a floral cotton jacket and went into the kitchen to cook.

Cao Zhen also said to Cao Shuxu: "Brother Xu, you tell your sister-in-law, you don't need to cook too many dishes, just after the New Year, you can't eat much fish and meat every day, and the rest is wasted." ”

"Okay, do more vegetarian." Cao Shuxu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Your sister-in-law's Cantonese food is very good." ”

The last time Cao Shujie and the others came over, Cao Shuxu's Ding Yunan and the child stayed in another house and didn't come here.

Cao Tiemin poured tea for the four people with a teapot, and said, "Brother Xu, tell us about what you are doing in QQ." ”

QQ claims to have 400 million users and 140 million online active people every day, Cao Shuxu can work in such a company, in Cao Tiemin, Cao Zhen They don't think it's so simple.

They think it's a god-like being.

But Cao Shuxu said lightly: "Actually, that's it, it's not as exaggerated as you think." ”

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two, Cao Shuxu said: "For example, I am in the QQ mailbox project team, I don't have many colleagues, we are mainly responsible for the maintenance and update of the product, in your opinion it is very mysterious, but in our opinion, it is no different from screwing into the factory and moving bricks on the construction site." ”

"If I had to make a difference, my salary would be higher." Cao Shuxu said with a modest smile.

When Cao Zhen heard him say this, he was a little curious: "Brother Xu, how much money can you earn a year?" ”

"It's hard to say, there must be four or five hundred thousand, mainly equity, project bonuses, and dividends." Cao Shuxu said simply.

Hearing him say this, Cao Zhen and Cao Tiemin yearned.

As soon as he heard the name, he knew what it meant, only the expression on Cao Shujie's face was quite calm, which made Cao Shuxu look surprised.

However, when he heard from his family that Cao Shujie had invested more than 2 million yuan in his hometown to contract land, plant orchards and engage in breeding, he was also relieved.

In a way, the three young people opposite him should actually be two levels of people.

Cao Tiemin asked: "If you calculate it like this, Brother Xu has a lot of money a year." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Shuxu sighed, he looked at Cao Tiemin, Cao Zhen and Cao Shujie, and his mood was very complicated: "Brothers, don't hide it from you, I'm almost done." ”

"When the time comes, when I'm gone, there will be nothing to do with me." Cao Shuxu said.

"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Xu, you're just 33, why are you so pessimistic." Cao Tiemin persuaded him.

Cao Shuxu didn't answer this question directly, he looked at Cao Shujie and asked him, "Shujie, what do you think?" ”

Cao Shujie also had mixed feelings, he said: "I heard my friend say that the IT industry is a youthful meal, especially a programming ape like Brother Xu. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Cao Shuxu and asked, "Brother Xu, am I right?" ”

"You know a lot about it." Cao Shuxu smiled and did not deny it.

Cao Shujie shook his head: "When I worked in the capital before, there were several Internet companies in the industrial park where our research institute is located, and I happened to know a few programming apes, who had high salaries and long working hours. ”

Finally, he added, "Longer than my time." ”

Cao Shuxu nodded: "Brother Shujie is right, it's true." ”

Speaking of this, he picked up the teacup and blew away the broken tea leaves floating on the surface, and said: "I go to work at half past nine in the morning, and it is normal to get off work at two or three in the morning!" ”

"Damn, this time is also awesome!" Cao Tiemin was particularly surprised, he never expected that this working time would be deformed to such an extent.

Cao Shuxu was used to it, and he said, "Brothers, tell me how long I can stay up with this routine?" ”

"To put it mildly, if I want to continue to work, let's not talk about whether I can keep up, I'm just such a boil, and I won't be able to survive for a few years? Then he will die suddenly! ”

"What nonsense, aren't you okay now?" Ding Yunan didn't know when he came from the kitchen with a plate of watermelons.

She put the plate of watermelon on the table and let a few of them eat it first, and then raised her hand and slapped Cao Shuxu on the back: "Husband, don't talk nonsense in the future, otherwise you will let you say that you have it, and I will see what you will do when the time comes?" ”

"Haha, okay, let's not talk about it." Cao Shuxu threw away this topic, he said: "Didn't I tell you last time, I have a friend who wants to open a factory in Shencheng to invest in data cables, he once came to me and wanted to pull me to work with him, I have been hesitating." ”

"Brother Xu, why hesitate? How much money to invest? What about the market? What about the market's returns? Have you done any research? Cao Zhen asked five times in a row.

Cao Shujie was also thinking seriously about this question at this time, but there was no answer for a while.

Cao Shuxu said: "It's okay, I'll tell you something, you definitely don't believe it." ”

Cao Shujie also paused to think about the problem, and he, Cao Zhen, and Cao Tiemin all listened carefully.

Then I heard Cao Shuxu say: "My friend worked on the data cable for three months, and then brought back a pure imported Mercedes-Benz S350L that was just launched last year, do you believe it?" ”

"Mercedes S350L?" Cao Tiemin hadn't been in contact with it, and he was a little dazed.

But Cao Zhen knew, he said: "Brother Xu, are you talking about the one with a factory price of 1.4 million?" ”

Cao Shuxu nodded casually and said: "This car is not easy to mention, if you want to increase the price, it will be almost 1.8 million yuan!" ”

"Brother Xu, your friend is so awesome, he earned 1.8 million in three months?" Cao Tiemin felt that the whole person was not good.

He thought that he could earn 200,000 yuan a year, but Cao Shuxu suddenly told him today that someone earned 1.8 million in three months?

"It took me more than nine years to make that much money." Cao Tiemin felt that his breathing was heavy.

But Cao Shuxu added: "Tiemin, who told you that my friend earned 1.8 million in three months?" ”

As soon as he said this, Cao Tiemin's mood instantly improved, it didn't seem to be so much, he said: "I'll just say, how can anyone make so much money." ”

Hearing him say this, Cao Shuxu laughed out loud at the time: "Tiemin, my friend's net income is more than 1 million a month, otherwise would he dare to buy a Mercedes-Benz S350?" ”

"Ugh!" Cao Tiemin leaned back, quickly patted his chest, and waved his hand: "I can't do it, you talk first, let me take a breath." ”

"Haha, Tiemin, that's all you can do, it's just how much money it is, and it scares you like this." Cao Shujie said him.

But in his heart, Cao Shujie was also surprised and admired!

He originally thought that he would buy bitcoin and make a profit of more than 1 million in less than half a year, but today he found out that he had encountered an even more awesome existence than him.

And the other party is a real business, which is even more powerful than him.

The point is, he still heard it from other people's mouths, and he didn't see this 'big bull'.

"Brother Xu, is the buying and selling of this data cable so easy to do? Can you make a net profit of more than 1 million in a month? Cao Shujie asked.

He couldn't understand how a small data cable could make so much money?

Cao Shuxu thought for a while, and then said: "The amount of use is large, now so many people have mobile phones, how many data cables do you need?" ”

"According to my friend, this thing has a low cost and a large profit, and coupled with a large volume, it is difficult to make money or not." That's what Cao Shuxu said.

"In addition, my friend and I have speculated that in the next few years, the shipment of mobile phones will definitely get bigger and bigger, and by that time, the market for data lines will be bigger, so this transaction will not be wrong!"

Cao Shujie heard a little sign from Cao Shuxu's words, Cao Shuxu wanted to do this business, but he was a little hesitant.

This makes Cao Shujie a little confused, what is he hesitating about in the face of a profitable business?

"Brother Xu, why don't you partner with your friend to do this?" Cao Tiemin was also curious and asked him.

Cao Shuxu thought for a while, and then said: "My friend wants to go to Africa to invest and build a factory, the labor there is lower, if I invest, I have to go abroad, in this case, my wife can only stay in the deep city to watch the children, I may be able to come back once in a long time." ”

This reason was not thought of by Cao Shujie, Cao Zhen and Cao Tiemin.

This time, the three of them did not give advice either.

First, they don't know much about the data line, and secondly, it also involves Cao Shuxu's housework, as outsiders, their relationship with Cao Shuxu is not good enough to be involved in his housework, so they are very smart to keep their mouths shut and no longer discuss this issue.

Ding Yunan cooked quickly, and it didn't take long for her to start serving food to the house.

On the surface, these dishes are very good-looking, and the color is very beautiful, which is completely different from the cooking methods in the north.

"Hurry up and try your sister-in-law's craftsmanship, it's very good, especially after the New Year, you are tired of eating big fish and meat, try these dishes again, I guarantee you like it!" Cao Shuxu said.

Cao Shujie and the three of them were not polite, and began to eat with chopsticks or spoons.

After tasting a little, Cao Shujie felt that this dish was more inclined to be light and sweet, an authentic southern approach.

And as Cao Shuxu said just now, he doesn't feel tired of eating these dishes, and he still wants to eat two more bites.

"My sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious!" Cao Shujie held a thumbs up and praised from the bottom of his heart.

Ding Yunan squinted his eyes and smiled.

Cao Zhen and Cao Tiemin also praised it.

Although it is a little uncomfortable to this practice, it is undeniable that the food cooked by Ding Yunan tastes really good.

"If you think it's delicious, you can eat more, and I'll go make a pig's knuckle soup and winter melon Gu." Ding Yunan said.

Seeing her turn around and walk out, Cao Zhen and Cao Shujie stood up almost at the same time and shouted: "Sister-in-law, don't do it anymore, you can't eat if you do too much, and it's wasteful." ”

"It's okay, you try to eat." Ding Yunan pointed to the kitchen and said, "I've already put the pig's feet in the pressure cooker to boil, the time is almost up, and the winter melon Gu is almost in the pot, I'll bring it over." ”

"Oh, Brother Xu, you're too polite." Cao Tiemin said.

Cao Shuxu laughed: "I'm working alone outside, and when I come back, I feel cordial when I see you, a few brothers eat more, let's talk while eating, don't worry." ”

Cao Shujie asked him: "Brother Xu, are you also leaving tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, tomorrow morning, take Uncle Quan's car to the provincial capital, and take a plane back to Shencheng from there, and you can get to the place in about three hours." Cao Shuxu said.

——

"So fast!" Cao Tiemin had never been on a plane at all, and he had no idea about the speed of the plane.

Cao Zhen shouted: "When I go back to Xinjiang in two days, I don't plan to take the train, I will take a plane back at my own expense, and I can get there in more than 4 hours." ”

"Expensive, right?" Cao Tiemin said.

Cao Zhen nodded: "I checked, and the discount ticket is less than 1,500 yuan." ”

Cao Shuxu said with a smile: "This price is about the same as when we go to Shencheng!" ”

Cao Zhen nodded, Patiguli called him, said that he missed him, and urged him to take a plane back, and she paid for the air ticket.

It's okay, I have to fly back.

They were drinking and chatting, and before they knew it, more than two hours had passed, and when they were about to leave, Cao Shujie suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Xu, where is my grandfather Zhenghe?" ”

"My dad took him to my aunt's house." Cao Shuxu said.

Seeing that they were leaving, Cao Shuxu hurriedly took all the things they brought over and asked them to take them back.

After the three of them had walked out for some distance, another piece of things had been put on the ground and ran.

Cao Shuxu waited until the evening and sent them over one by one.

Cao Shujie also said at that time why he was so polite, who knew that Cao Shuxu said: "Tell you to drink, just go empty-handed, you have to take things, so polite, don't treat me as a family!" ”

"Shujie, go to Shencheng in the future, call me, remember!" Cao Shuxu told him.

Seeing Cao Shuxu turn around, walking very freely, Cao Shujie opened his mouth and didn't speak.

Cheng Xiaolin asked him: "Shujie, that Brother Xu just now seems to be very unusual." ”

"Of course, wife, let me tell you, the QQ mailbox we usually use is made by others, and you just say that he is not a cow." Cao Shujie said.

"He works on QQ?" Cheng Xiaolin came back to her senses and asked her husband.

"Hmm!" Cao Shujie went upstairs and said, "I'll go take a shower first." ”

……

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Shujie was about to go out to walk his dog when he received a text message and a phone call.

The text message was sent by Cao Shuxu, telling him that he had taken the long-distance bus from Cao Jianquan's house in the village to the provincial capital, and said that he would wait for the next reunion, and drink more when the people were full.

Cao Shujie replied to him: "The plane is headwind all the way!" ”

"Brother, thank you!"

The phone was called by Cao Zhen, and he said to Cao Shujie: "I will report to the company today, and tomorrow I will go to the provincial capital to take a direct flight to the airport near Changji, Xinjiang." ”

"Okay, your grandmother will come back alone this time, next time remember to bring your daughter-in-law back, and I will invite you to dinner."

Cao Shujie came out of the house with four dogs on the phone, and he shouted: "Cao Zhen, remember to discuss the marriage with your daughter-in-law as soon as you go back, you are all not too old, don't delay it any longer, as soon as possible!" ”

He also said: "If you get married in late March and early April, you can go directly to my orchard and pick the freshest strawberries, and you two can eat whatever you want." ”

", I remember that you promised to mail it to me, do you want to save on shipping?" Cao Zhen was not fooled by this.

Cao Shujie laughed: "If you don't like to eat rotten, I'll mail it to you." ”

The breath of the Spring Festival gradually disappeared as everyone went out.

After Cao Zhen, Cao Shuxu, and Cao Tiemin left, Caojiazhuang, which was still very lively before, seemed to freeze in an instant and began to quiet down.

Cao Shujie also got rid of the sequelae of the Spring Festival and began to slowly enter the work state.

He has always felt that if you don't do anything, people can easily be abolished.

……

On the morning of the seventh day of the new year, Cao Shujie asked his wife for 2,000 yuan, folded it in half, and walked towards the mountain.

When he saw Cao Shuchao pruning apple trees and kiwifruit in the orchard, he first called out to the other party: "Brother Chao, rest first." ”

"Shujie, you're here too." Cao Shuchao pointed to the branches of the fruit tree and said: "I see that some fruit trees have many branches, and it is not good to keep them on the top, so I cut them off before they have sprouted." ”

"There are also some extra twigs that are cut off so that the other stout branches can absorb more nutrients." Cao Shuchao said.

Cao Shujie also knew this, he nodded, took out the 2,000 yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Cao Shuchao: "Brother Chao, you click it, this is 2,000 yuan." ”

Cao Shuchao didn't answer, he waved his hand in a bit of a panic: "Shujie, this is not right, I haven't rested this month, and the salary should be 1705 yuan, even if you add a bonus of 115 yuan, it is only more than 1800." ”

"That's right, the rest is for me to make up for your New Year's rewards." That's what Cao Shujie said.

"Brother Chao, although you haven't been here for a long time, you can do a really good job, I know it in my heart, you can take it." Cao Shujie once again took the money and stuffed it to Cao Shuchao.

Hearing Cao Shujie say this, Cao Shuchao said thank you a few times, and then took the money and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

"Brother Chao, if you don't do a good job, I will definitely not give you this money." Cao Shujie corrected his thoughts.

He said again: "Brother Chao, and the person you introduced to me a year ago, called... Zhu Shengliang, right? ”

Seeing Cao Shuchao nodding.

Cao Shujie said: "Brother Chao, you ask your friends to officially come to work from tomorrow, and I will call Boss Cui later, and ask him to send us a calf tomorrow." ”

"Good! I'm going to call him and ask him to come over today and get acquainted with the work. "Cao Shuchao is very thoughtful.

Cao Shujie did not object.

Tomorrow is very busy, and it would be a good thing if Zhu Shengliang could come over today to familiarize himself with the work site.

Today, I accompanied my daughter to an interest class, and it was faster to code words in the training school.
