"Little sister, can I ride it?" Cao Wanyi's hands were crossed together, hooking her fingers together for a while, spreading them into palms for a while, and clenching them into fists for a while, proving the level of tension in her heart and making her a little overwhelmed.

Cao Zhenghu also looked at his great-granddaughter with interest at this time, wanting to see what the little guy would do.

After a few seconds, Meng Meng, who was sitting on the children's bicycle, was about to get down, but she couldn't get on and off the car by herself, so she could only turn to her grandfather Cao Zhenghu for help.

"Grandpa, you carry me down." Meng Meng shouted.

Cao Zhenghu asked her, "What are you doing here?" ”

"My sister rides." Meng Meng said with a glance.

Cao Wanyi, who was next to her, was very happy when she heard it, but she didn't know why, and she was a little ashamed.

The child's mind is always simple, and when she came down and saw Cao Wanyi still standing there, she shouted: "Sister, you ride, the old man bought it for me, it's easy to ride." ”

She praised it in a few words, and the smile that coaxed Cao Zhenghu never stopped.

Cao Wanyi didn't say thank you, she got on the bike in a panic, and then rode forward, found a wide place and reversed it, and stopped after two more laps, and returned the bike to Mengmeng.

Meng Meng couldn't go up, so she was holding on to her and letting Meng Meng slowly step up.

The kindergarten has not yet opened, and by this time in the afternoon, there are children from the surrounding areas coming out to play, and their eyes are not enough when they see Cao Wanyi and Mengmeng swapping for a brand new pink bicycle.

Someone else shouted: "This is different from Cao Bingbing's car." ”

"Did Cao Wanyi buy it? Do I want to buy it too? ”

Someone went over and asked Cao Wanyi if he could ride.

But Cao Wanyi also knew who the owner of the bicycle was, she pointed to Mengmeng and said, "This is my little sister's bicycle." ”

"Little sister, can I ride it?"

Children are the most shameless, they have long forgotten that they don't let Meng Meng ride in the morning, and they still have the face to ask Meng Meng at this time.

Maybe Mengmeng didn't remember those things, she nodded: "Okay, come one by one." ”

At the end, I didn't forget to point to Cao Zhenghu and add: "This is what the old man bought for me." ”

Just such a sentence, Cao Zhenghu happily feels that he is at least 20 years younger.

The other children all looked at Cao Zhenghu, and some who knew him hurriedly shouted to the old man, but most of them didn't know him.

With Cao Zhenghu here, a group of children did not rush to ride bicycles, and even Mengmeng followed the team to line up to ride bicycles, and she was even happier when she did this.

It was originally a very monotonous thing, but he was stunned and let him play for more than two hours.

Cao Zhenghu seemed to have become the king of children at this time, so he found a stone bar on the side and sat down, watching the children frolicking, and the feeling in his heart was different.

Cao Zhenggang didn't have any work recently, so he came out for a walk, and suddenly saw Cao Zhenghu sitting here on the street, he hurriedly came over and shouted: "Brother Tiger, why are you here?" ”

"Brother Gang, I'll look at the child." Cao Zhenghu smiled and pointed to a group of children, he said: "Mengmeng can't stay at home, I'll take her out to play for a while." ”

Cao Zhenggang envied his real name, his son was not around, let alone expected to see his grandson.

"Brother Tiger is getting younger and younger, and there are fewer wrinkles on his face." Cao Zhenggang said so.

Looking at Cao Zhenghu's spirit, Cao Zhenggang was indeed very envious, he was obviously more than ten years younger than Cao Zhenghu, but he always felt that the ages of the two people were reversed.

Cao Zhenghu smiled and said, "What do you want to do so much, live one day at a time." ”

It's really alive and clear.

When Cao Zhenggang heard him say this, he knew that he would know, but he couldn't do it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been running around with the construction team at this age.

"You can't think about it." Cao Zhenghu can say whatever he thinks in his heart.

At his age, there are not many taboos, and he can say anything.

Cao Zhenggang also knew this reason, but he said: "Brother Hu, I am different from you, my son is not angry, I can't do it." ”

Cao Zhenghu heard him talk about this, and he didn't discuss it too much.

The two watched the child chatting about interesting things at home, and after a while, the topic turned to Cao Zhenghu's grandson Cao Shujie.

Speaking of Cao Shujie, Cao Zhenggang admired his face: "Brother Tiger, your little grandson is really amazing, I think he is a character, within 5 years, Caojiazhuang is his." ”

"What you said is Shujie's lazy nature, he does everything in vain." Cao Zhenghu said this, but the smile on his face became even stronger.

To tell the truth, Cao Zhenghu didn't expect that his little grandson would have such ability, and he contracted land to plant orchards at home.

Cao Zhenghu walked up the mountain to the orchard every once in a while to have a look, from the overall layout, Cao Zhenghu knew that his grandson was not joking, it was a real investment of a lot of money, and a whole set of planning.

"Brother Hu, you are too modest, we have one in Caojiazhuang, and there are only a few people who are the best, and Shujie is definitely the best one." Cao Zhenggang said.

"Don't mention him." Cao Zhenghu waved his hand.

He asked Cao Zhenggang: "Brother Gang, how are you now?" ”

"It's just over the New Year, and there's not much work yet, so let's wait until March or April to take a look." Cao Zhenggang said so.

He said to Cao Zhenghu: "Brother Tiger, you don't know, this year's bricks, cement, steel bars, pipes, everything has risen in price, many people who came to me before to say that they wanted to build a house, but now they don't build it, say it is slow, see if the price of materials can go down, hey!" ”

"Pretty much?" Cao Zhenghu asked.

Cao Zhenggang nodded: "A brick is at least three cents long." ”

Cao Zhenghu understood as soon as he heard it, this price is really not low.

A very ordinary house, after it is built, it also needs tens of thousands of bricks, and a brick is three cents long, which is not a small amount.

Cao Zhenggang also mentioned one thing, he said: "When I built a house for Shujie last year, a brick was delivered to the house for only three cents and three cents. ”

"It's up by a tenth, no wonder it's not covered." Cao Zhenghu finally understood.

Cao Zhenggang nodded: "I want to wait for the price to go down before I build it, but I think the price has risen, and it will be difficult to think about it if I want to go down again." ”

"How's your labor doing?" Cao Zhenghu asked him, and then he heard Cao Zhenggang say: "80 for small workers and 110 for large workers, both of which have risen a lot compared with last year." ”

He said: "It's not a brisk job in itself, and for less than that, no one wants to follow us." ”

"This income is not low." Cao Zhenghu is not an old man who doesn't understand anything.

Cao Zhenggang shook his head: "The salary is quite high, but there is not so much work, if you don't stop working all year round, it will be counted." ”

"It's hard right now." Cao Zhenggang was also helpless.

They were chatting, and Meng Meng ran over with a smile: "Grandpa, I'll call you." ”

"What's wrong with Meng Meng?" Cao Zhenghu nervously asked his great-granddaughter.

Meng Meng shook her head: "It's okay." ”

"Mengmeng, do you remember me?" Cao Zhenggang asked him with a smile.

Meng Meng looked at it, and Cao Zhenggang nodded for a while: "Hello grandpa." ”

"Your little puppy, Wangwang." Meng Meng put her hands on the edge and said in the voice of a puppy barking.

Cao Zhenggang heard Mengmeng's words, and he smiled: "You have a deeper impression of our pugs than me." ”

"Haha, child, don't be like her." Cao Zhenghu mentioned.

Cao Zhenggang waved his hand: "It's okay." ”

He looked at Meng Meng carefully, and then sighed again: "This year has grown really fast." ”

Saying this, he raised his hand and put it in the air and gestured: "I remember that Mengmeng was only so tall last year, and this year she has grown another 10 centimeters, and she will become a big girl next year." ”

"I don't want it!" Meng Meng didn't understand what it meant, but she always felt that it was not good.

She said, "I still have to play with my grandfather." ”

After hearing this, Cao Zhenghu felt more comfortable, reached out and touched Mengmeng's little head, and said with a smile: "Mengmeng is really a good child." ”

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun went west, and there was no sunlight, and it slowly felt cold.

Cao Zhenghu and Cao Zhenggang talked for more than an hour, and it was time to go home at this time, he said to Cao Zhenggang, and then stood up and shouted Mengmeng to go.

"Grandpa, I'm here." Meng Meng agreed, and then shouted to her little friend who was still riding her bicycle: "I'm going home, give me the car." ”

Although a group of friends didn't want her to go, they were still very reluctant to return the bicycle to Mengmeng.

There was also a little boy shouting: "Mengmeng, will you come over tomorrow to play?" ”

"I don't know, you can go to my house to play, I have a lot of toys in my house." Meng Meng said.

Cao Zhenghu didn't care about this, and after his great-granddaughter said goodbye to her new friends, one rode a children's bicycle and the other walked beside her, and the grandfather and grandson walked north.

The sun set faster and faster, reflecting two figures, one large and one small, pulling out a long shadow.

After a while, Meng Meng shouted: "Grandpa pushed me, I can't ride." ”

After playing for an afternoon, Meng Meng's physical strength was basically consumed.

When Cao Zhenghu heard her shout, he quickly reached out and put his hand on his great-granddaughter's back and pushed her forward.

Finally returned home, as soon as they entered the gate, they screamed, greeted them cutely, and rode their bicycles to the steps of the house, shouting into the house: "Mom, I'm back." ”

When Cheng Xiaolin heard the barking of dogs just now, she looked out and saw Mengmeng and her grandfather coming in.

Listening to the girl's angry screams, you know that she is having a good time.

"Mengmeng, going out with grandpa, are you happy?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.

Meng Meng nodded vigorously: "Mom, I'm happy." ”

"Where's Daddy?" She glanced left and right, but she didn't see her father and wondered.

She had forgotten about the morning.

Cheng Xiaolin said to her: "Your father went to see your uncle and grandfather, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"When will Daddy come back?" Meng Meng looks very concerned.

Cheng Xiaolin shook her head and said, "Mom doesn't know, otherwise you can call Dad and ask." ”

"Okay, I'll call Dad." Mengmeng looked very excited, and she asked Cheng Xiaolin: "Mom, where is the mobile phone?" ”

She knows everything.

Cheng Xiaolin took her mobile phone and handed it to her daughter, Mengmeng looked at the phone with a black screen, and knew how to press the button next to it, and when the mobile phone screen lit up, she was very skilled in clicking the pound sign and asterisk, unlocking the phone, and when she dialed out, she scratched her head: "Mom, what are you calling?" ”

"You little fool, didn't I ask you to memorize your father's mobile phone number." Cheng Xiaolin said her.

But Mengmeng followed and said, "I just remember my mother's mobile phone number." ”

Cheng Xiaolin smiled, stretched out a finger, pointed at the tip of her daughter's nose, and scolded with a smile: "You little ghost, you know how to pat on the back." ”

"Hee-hee!" Meng Meng doesn't care about anything else.

Waiting for Cheng Xiaolin to dial her husband's mobile phone number, she listened to the ringtone from the mobile phone, and handed the mobile phone to Mengmeng: "Okay, you can tell your father." ”

As soon as Meng Meng took the phone, there was a shout of 'hey, hey, hey'.

But there was still a ringtone in the receiver of the mobile phone, and Cheng Xiaolin said to her: "You little fool, your father hasn't answered the phone yet." ”

Mengmeng sighed, and she asked, "Why doesn't Dad answer the phone yet." ”

"Come on, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Then I heard Meng Meng say, "I miss my father." ”

Cheng Xiaolin was speechless when she heard her daughter say this.

Fortunately, Cao Shujie quickly connected the phone, and as soon as he called 'wife', Mengmeng said: "Dad, I'm not your wife, I'm Mengmeng." ”

"Ugh!" Cao Shujie, who was still in the Third People's Hospital of Yiling City, didn't expect that it was her daughter who called.

Then he asked her: "Mengmeng, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"Dad, it's getting dark, what time will you and grandma come back?" Meng Meng asked.

Cao Shujie saw that it was almost 5 o'clock, and it was still early when it was dark, so he said, "Dad will leave in a while." ”

"Oh, then I'll tell my mother." Meng Meng said.

She also said: "Dad, drive slower on the road, Mom will keep food for you, don't worry." ”

"......" Cao Shujie, I don't know if these words were said by his daughter herself, or taught by his wife, but the feeling of being cared for by his daughter in his heart is real.

"Okay, I'll drive a little slower." Cao Shujie hurriedly said.

Cheng Xiaolin, who was standing next to Mengmeng, didn't expect her daughter to say this, and for a while, she could only sigh that Mengmeng was indeed sensible.

Cao Zhenghu also didn't expect his great-granddaughter to know that he cared about people, and he was very happy.

Seeing his granddaughter-in-law take the phone over and say a few words to his grandson, Cao Zhenghu didn't care.

When Cao Shujie drove home with his mother from the Third People's Hospital of Yiling City, it was almost 8 p.m.

After they came back, Cheng Xiaolin didn't rush to ask about the second uncle's situation in the hospital, but first heated the food for them to eat, and then asked: "Shujie, how is our second uncle?" ”

"There is a polyp in the stomach, and a biopsy is being done to see if it is benign or malignant, and then a specific treatment plan will be available." Cao Shujie sighed.
