Tonight, it is Zhuang Xuesong's turn to be on duty at night, and whoever is on night duty usually eats some instant noodles, ham, and braised eggs in the orchard to survive all night, and if you are not too troublesome, you can fry some vegetables by yourself.

But Zhuang Xuesong was carrying 1935 yuan, he felt that it was very unsafe in his heart, and after thinking about it, he called his wife Cao Hongyan and told her to go home for dinner in the evening.

"Didn't you say that you won't come back tonight for the night shift, I haven't cooked your meal yet." Cao Hongyan said on the phone.

Zhuang Xuesong didn't care, he said: "It's okay, I'll go to the supermarket later to buy 2 catties of pig's head meat and take it back, and add a dish tonight." ”

"Are you crazy, a pound of pig's head meat costs more than ten yuan, and you still buy two catties?" Cao Hongyan scolded him on the phone, and no one came to their house as a guest, and the money was not spent like this.

She said, "Come back quickly, I'll scramble you with tomatoes and eggs, and I'll be fine in a while." ”

"You can pull it down, just eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes for the salary you just paid today." Zhuang Xuesong finally said: "That's it, I'll buy some pig's head meat, do you still have cucumbers at home, you wash and pat it, put it in a basin and wait, and then pound some garlic." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Xuesong hung up the phone, went directly to Cao Jianhua's supermarket to buy 2 catties of pig's head meat, paid for the trailer handlebar, and went to Zhaozhuang Village.

In about ten minutes, Zhuang Xuesong rode to the house, and as soon as he entered the door, his wife came out of the house and asked him, "Have you paid your salary?" How much? ”

After hanging up the phone just now, Cao Hongyan can be regarded as understanding the point.

When her husband took out a stack of banknotes in a plastic bag, Cao Hongyan pinched the stack of money and took it out to count, and wondered: "How much is this?" Did you make a mistake? ”

This number is not in line with her calculations.

"You old lady, don't beep if you don't know, my monthly salary is 1935 yuan, what's the problem." Zhuang Xuesong walked towards the house with the pig's head meat.

He said: "I spent 30 yuan to buy a pig's head, and you said it would work." ”

He's very tough at this point.

Cao Hongyan still has the heart to care about him buying pig's head meat at this time, she felt that something was wrong, and when she returned to the house, she saw her husband cutting pig's head meat with a knife, so she went over and asked him: "Lao Zhuang, this amount is not right, you haven't been on a full month for a ...... in total."

"You are still not convinced by the fact that you have long hair and short knowledge." Zhuang Xuesong looked like he was very powerful, took a knife and cut twice on the pig's head meat, and said: "I worked 26 day shifts, and I was on 6 night shifts, I was on 24 hours on the night shift, counting two days' salary, in addition to a night shift subsidy of 10 yuan a day, and a bonus of more than 100 yuan, are you right?" ”

As soon as he said this, it was very thorough, Cao Hongyan quickly calculated it, and the money was also on the right number, but she muttered in surprise when she followed: "Lao Zhuang, according to this, your salary here is not low." ”

"How did I know that there are so many famous halls in addition to salary, more than the famous ones I used to work in a factory, do you believe it?" Zhuang Xuesong said.

If it weren't for the money in his hands, he wouldn't believe it.

He put the cut pork head meat into a small basin, saw that there were two washed cucumbers next to him, took them and used a knife to 'snap' a few times, then smashed them and put them into the basin, and then poured some garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and five-spice noodles These seasonings, and then said: "Wife, eat, hurry up and eat meat." ”

"Lao Zhuang, you eat more." Cao Hongyan said.

……

Cao Shuchao's house, after Cao Shuchao came back from the orchard, he handed today's salary to his wife Ma Wenqian, Ma Wenqian was also stunned.

Last month, there were many days, coupled with the high bonus given for the New Year, I only took more than 1,900 yuan, and this month there are two fewer days, why did I get 600 yuan more?

Ma Wenqian really couldn't figure it out, so she asked her husband.

When Cao Shuchao said that he was on 12 night shifts, it also meant that he worked 24-hour shifts for 12 days, all of which were calculated according to two days' wages.

Ma Wenqian knew what was going on, she looked at Cao Shuchao, who was holding two steamed buns in her hand and a piece of pimple pickles and chewing dry, which was very unpleasant.

Feelings: This money is also exchanged for time.

The only good thing is that they can sleep on the night shift, and as for the 24-hour continuous rotation a day, no one can stand it.

Looking at her husband's gobbling up during dinner, Ma Wenqian thought in her heart how much work she had done today, why was she so hungry when she just came back?

But before she could ask, Cao Shuchao continued to say happily: "Wife, look at my brain, I forgot to tell you a more important thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Ma Wenqian also forgot to ask her husband how tired she was today for the time being, and she was very curious about what her husband said about more important things.

Then I heard her husband say: "Shujie held a meeting for us today, saying that from next month, he will give us a salary increase." ”

"Add 5 yuan a day, hehe!" As soon as Cao Shuchao thought of this, his heart was happy, he bit two big mouthfuls of steamed buns fiercely, chewed and swallowed them without drinking water, and almost choked him.

When Ma Wenqian saw him like this, she quickly poured him a glass of water to drink, and nagged him: "You can't eat slowly." ”

"Hehe, I'm so happy." That's what Cao Shuchao said.

Ma Wenqian looked at her husband and finally relieved herself, and nagged him: "Look at your little interest, add 5 yuan to make you happy like this." ”

"What do you old lady know, I'm talking about adding 5 yuan a day, not a month." Cao Shuchao said his wife unceremoniously.

He also said: "If you think about 30 days a month, this is an additional 150 yuan." ”

"Now there are three of us working, and each person works an average of 10 days of night work, which is another 50 yuan."

Ma Wenqian finally understood this account, and she sighed: "My good girl, this means an extra 200 yuan a month, more than 2,000 yuan a year, why does Shujie add so much money to you?" ”

"What do you know, how can you understand the vision of other scholars?"

Ma Wenqian: "......"

At the same time, a similar scene occurred in Zhu Shengliang's house.

At this time, Zhu Shengliang and his wife Zhang Hong also felt that their man's choice was right, and told her husband to do a good job with Cao Shujie and resolutely not do half-hearted things.

At Cao Shujie's house at this time, their family was eating around the dining table.

Cao Shujie talked about giving Cao Shuchao a salary increase.

"You don't add much." Cheng Xiaolin calculated an account, she said.

Cao Shujie shook his head: "Wife, you can't say that, the 9% increase is not low." ”

"Besides, we are not a one-shot deal, we have increased our wages this year, and will we increase them next year? If you raise your salary in one go, what will you do later? "Cao Shujie is not a saint, he has his own standards for doing things.

Cheng Xiaolin served her grandfather Cao Zhenghu a bowl of millet porridge, and she did not discuss her husband's salary increase for employees.

Instead, he took the initiative to say: "Shujie, I heard Aunt Fengying say today that Brother Zhen is going to get married at the end of the month, do you know this?" ”

"Well, he didn't tell me, I'll call him and ask after dinner." Cao Shujie said.

He said: "Cao Zhen also said some time ago that the wedding would be held in our orchard, but he kept saying that he didn't set a time, and now it's set? ”

His mother, Wang Yuelan, said: "Your aunt said that it was just decided. ”

"Okay, let's eat first." Cao Shujie said.

He hurriedly finished eating, took his mobile phone and went to call Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen should be busy there, and he didn't answer the first call.

After a few minutes, Cao Shujie called a second time, and Cao Zhen answered the phone this time.

"Cao Zhen, I heard that you ......"

"You called just in time, I thought I'd call you." Cao Zhen intercepted his words.

He didn't sell it, and said directly: "Shujie, I will hold a wedding on the ninth day of the third lunar month and March 30 of the solar calendar, and I will take Patigul back a week in advance, and the wedding will be placed in your orchard, no problem, right?" ”

"Just come." Cao Shujie said.

He asked, "Did you take your wedding photos?" ”

Cao Zhen said: "Not yet, the time is a little tight, and we will shoot the wedding dress here." ”

"Can you get the picture out in such a short time?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Zhen said with certainty: "There is no problem with this, Patiguli found her friend, and after the shooting, we will expedite the washing." ”

Then Cao Zhen said other arrangements, all of which were trivial things, and Cao Shujie asked him: "Is the team looking for it?" Do you want me to find it for you? ”

"My mom is looking for this at home, you just need to clean up the mountain." Cao Zhen said so.

The two of them spoke on the phone quickly, and after talking about the main thing, they didn't talk nonsense.

Cao Shujie hung up the phone and walked into the living room, his wife Cheng Xiaolin cast a curious look: "How is it?" Is it true? ”

"Well, I got married on March 30 of the solar calendar, and there is less than a month left to complete the calculation." Cao Shujie said to his wife.

Wang Yuelan nodded after hearing this: "Speaking of which, at your age Brother Zhen, you should have gotten married and had children a long time ago." ”

Cao Shujie didn't answer, which reminded him of when he had just graduated and started working, and he was not married at that time, and his parents were also urging, for fear that he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life if he was a few days late.

After Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo finished eating, they played with Mengmeng here for a while and left.

Grandpa Cao Zhenghu was also a little sleepy and also went to the room to rest.

Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin walked to the 2nd floor with their daughters in their arms, and they came up with a cute little temperament, but they had to go up the stairs by themselves, otherwise they wouldn't go up.

She was so stubborn, Cao Shujie and his wife had no way to take Mengmeng, so they let Mengmeng walk in front of her, and the two of them followed behind Mengmeng to prevent Mengmeng from rolling down again.

Fortunately, Mengmeng went to the 2nd floor smoothly, and the two of them followed into the bedroom.

Meng Meng just came up, just a few steps away, it was the most exciting time, she didn't want to sleep yet.

Cao Shujie didn't have a way, he hugged her and walked back and forth on the 2nd floor, watching Meng Meng look at him with wide eyes, or turn his head to look elsewhere, sleep without closing his eyes, he was really angry.

"Shujie, you put her down and let her play by herself." Cheng Xiaolin said.

With his wife's words, Cao Shujie doesn't care.

The two of them sat and talked.

Cao Shujie talked about the fact that he sent Xiao Cao Zhen back in late March, and Cheng Xiaolin also told him to make the orchard more neat when the time came.

"Shujie, I have some ideas?" Cheng Xiaolin said abruptly.

Cao Shujie subconsciously looked at his wife, and then at Meng Meng who was still running around the house, and leaned over to his wife and whispered, "Wife, do you want it?" Wait until Meng Meng falls asleep. ”

"Poof!"

Cheng Xiaolin wants to vomit blood, what does her husband listen to!

Without warning, her tongs reached Cao Shujie's waist, grabbed a piece of meat and twisted it vigorously.

This move was vicious enough, and Cao Shujie, who was in pain, grinned and couldn't help shouting.

Mengmeng, who was playing, subconsciously turned her head, looked at Cao Shujie and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Xiaolin glared at Cao Shujie, the tongs were even harder, and threatened him to dare to try.

What else could Cao Shujie do, he endured the pain and said, "Mengmeng, it's okay." ”

"Really?" Meng Meng still didn't believe it, and her intuition told her that her father had something to hide from her.

The next moment, she ran directly over to check it well, and Cheng Xiaolin pulled the pliers back.

"Good girl!" Cao Shujie kissed his daughter's little face twice.

"Huh!" Meng Meng didn't leave, and she couldn't get up in her father's arms.

Cao Shujie also followed her and asked his wife very seriously: "Wife, what did you just say?" ”

"Brother Zhen isn't going to hold a wedding in our orchard?" Cheng Xiaolin said her thoughts.

"I started to shoot the growth videos of the fruit trees and flowers in the orchard in the past two days, if Brother Zhen holds a wedding on our side, I will also shoot a little bit from the side at that time, so that I can upload it in the video, do you think it will be okay?" Cheng Xiaolin is looking forward to it.

"Maybe it will bring us an extra rental income from the wedding site in our orchard," she said. ”

"It's really not good, there are so many people here, how many people will buy some fruit, right?"

Hearing his wife's idea, Cao Shujie didn't think she was naïve, but after thinking about it very seriously, he said, "I think it's okay!" ”

"Wife, don't say it, your brain is just good, turn fast!" Cao Shujie praised her.

Cheng Xiaolin was praised, as happy as a flower, and she pretended to be modest: "It's okay, it's just a flash of inspiration." ”

"But you also have to tell Brother Zhen, I won't shoot the front at that time, just shoot the entire wedding ceremony from the side." Cheng Xiaolin said deliberately.

Cao Shujie understood what she meant, nodded, thinking that it was too late today, and he would call Cao Zhen again tomorrow.

The two were chatting, and suddenly felt that the room was quiet, Cao Shujie looked down and saw that Mengmeng was lying in his arms and falling asleep.

I don't know what delicious things she dreamed of, her little mouth squirmed, and drooling from the corners of her mouth.

"You know how to eat." Cheng Xiaolin whispered to her.

Cao Shujie carried Mengmeng to the bed and asked her to lie down and sleep.

Looking back, his wife had already taken her clothes and bath towel to take a shower.

Cao Shujie lay on the bed and looked at Mengmeng, for fear that she would wake up again, but Mengmeng slept soundly, and she turned over, facing the side of the wall, and made a 'whirring' sound in her mouth.

"Hey, hey!" Cao Shujie was stupid for a while, and listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, his heart also became frizzy.

I took a bath towel and underwear and went over.

Life is already plain, and sometimes it needs a little romance or ritual flavoring, otherwise couples will eventually become brothers after decades.

Cao Shujie didn't understand this truth before, he was immersed in the strange circle of research, taking projects, and making money, and felt that giving his wife and children a better material life would be safe.

But the fact is otherwise, the lack of good communication, the plain life like water, has been eroded by firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea for a long time, and may be quarreled because of a little thing.

Cao Shujie was inexplicable before, but now he understands this truth.

It was dark in the house, and after a tired struggle, his wife fell asleep.

Cao Shujie followed the moonlight outside the house to look at his wife's quiet smiling face, how happy he was, smiling in his dreams.

The night passed like this, and Cao Shujie woke up the next morning, carrying a small bag and training tools, and led Daha and them out.

As soon as they came to the barrage dam in the east, it was the quietest time, Cao Shujie untied the ropes for the four dog brothers and patted their dog heads: "Go ahead, run for a while and come back, and continue training today." ”

"Oh woo!" Daha raised his head to the sky and howled at the moon that had not yet set.

caused Erha to also howl.

The more you look at it, the more it looks like the ancient ancestral genes have awakened.

Da Hei and Xiao Hei, who are the third and fourth children, also subconsciously 'Wangwang' twice, Daha has already run out, Erha follows and runs forward, and the two of them also run behind.

The four dogs ran wild in the dark night before dawn, and from time to time there was a barking of dogs with a savage atmosphere, and the momentum was devastating, so that people did not dare to underestimate it.

Cao Shujie also thought that if the thief who stole the dog came to them again, he didn't need to call people this time, and the four of them would be done.

When the four brothers ran for almost an hour and returned to Cao Shujie, the dawn dispelled the darkness, and the sun in the east revealed a small head.

Cao Shujie beckoned them over and continued to train to catch frisbees.

Daha, they are also happy to play this game.

"Daha, go on." Cao Shujie shouted.

Daha looked at the frisbee that flew forward, and it ran forward with its legs crossed on the ground.

"Oh!" Catch the frisbee very accurately.

Da Ha turned the dog's head, a little proud, and it winked at Cao Shujie.

This set is particularly funny and funny when shown on a dog's face.

When Cao Shujie saw it, he couldn't help laughing.

As he was talking, he didn't expect another person to come up on the dam.

"Uncle Hua, why do you have time to walk around the dam?" Cao Shujie was quite puzzled.

The person who just came over was Cao Jianhua, he was empty-handed, and he hadn't moved recently.

Cao Jianhua didn't feel surprised to see Cao Shujie walking his dog here, and the people in the village basically knew about Cao Shujie walking his dog on the dam in the morning.

"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk," he said. ”

"What's the matter with Uncle Hua?" Cao Shujie thinks it shouldn't be.

Then I heard Cao Jianhua say: "My brother will graduate in June this year, and then you have to think about getting married and buying a house. ”

After he sold all the pigs before the Spring Festival, he still hasn't started work.

Speaking of which, Cao Jianhua is still a little stunned, the price of pork fell so badly a year ago, and it rebounded because of the Spring Festival, and finally made a small profit.

But he wasn't sure if the price of pork would continue to fall again: "Shujie, how did you say the pig market this year?" ”

"Uncle Hua, I really can't give you advice on this." Cao Shujie said.

He said: "Don't talk about the market in three or four months, that is, what will be the market of pork next month, I can't say for sure, there are too many unexpected factors." ”

If it was in the past, Cao Jianhua would definitely think that Cao Shujie was perfunctory to him.

But after experiencing that wave of things, he understood that what Cao Shujie said was the truth, and the more this happened, the more entangled he became: "What about raising cattle?" What do you think? ”

"It's okay in the long run, it's more stable." Cao Shujie said.

He bought 136 calves, and he could not open his eyes and tell nonsense.

If he is early, he will be slaughtered in the root of the year, and when the time comes, with the 'Spring Festival market', he may be able to make a lot of money.

However, if Cao Jianhua starts to raise it now, it will be after the Spring Festival at the earliest, and it will be an uncertain factor at that time.

When it comes to money, Cao Shujie will not easily help him make a decision.

Cao Jianhua is also not a person who does not understand anything, and he did not continue to discuss this issue.

Watching Cao Shujie train his dogs, Cao Jianhua was also envious: "Your dogs are really good dogs!" ”

"Uncle Hua, this dog can be trained well, if the training is not good, it will be in vain." Cao Shujie said.

"As long as there's nothing special, I take them out for an hour or two every day, it's like a child, you have to put in the energy to spend more time with them," he said. ”

"That's right!" After Cao Jianhua saw Cao Shujie throw the frisbee out, one of the German pastors called out to chase the frisbee.

Until the frisbee was about to fall, the chasing Demu jumped over, and actually held the frisbee accurately in mid-air, and then turned over, just landed and turned around and ran back.

This scene made Cao Jianhua look straight in the eye: ", such a cow!" ”

He didn't have the heart to raise a dog, but seeing this scene, his heart itched again.

also muttered: "When Jianjun gives birth to a puppy, I will also go to hug one and play." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Shujie also remembered that Cao Jianjun also told him to call him when he gave birth to a puppy.

"Uncle Hua, Uncle Jun's puppy is about to give birth?" He asked.

Cao Jianhua nodded: "Come on, just these days, what, do you still want it?" ”

"Dogs eat a lot." He specially reminded Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie smiled: "It's okay, you can afford it." ”

Cao Jianhua will not mention this stubble.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Cao Shujie's mobile phone rang, and when he saw that it was his wife, he answered the phone and said, "I'll go back." ”

After hanging up the phone, he separated from Cao Jianhua, and he led four dogs down from the dam and walked towards his home.

Cao Jianhua stood on the dam and looked at the Yellow River in the east, wondering in his heart what to raise pigs? Or cattle breeding?

Special tangle!

I'm really sorry, I fell asleep yesterday while writing, and I got up at four o'clock today to continue writing, and I finally finished writing.
