"Tiemin, good job!" Cao Jianlong's eyes showed a look of appreciation.

He admires this kind of person.

If there is such a buddy in their generation, it is a lifetime of pride.

But it's a pity that in recent years, he has found that people's hearts are becoming more and more impetuous, coupled with the fact that young people are running to the city, and there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the countryside, but there are fewer and fewer young people.

In addition, you are in this city and I am in that city, and the distance between them is as little as dozens of miles, and at most hundreds or thousands of kilometers, and the exchanges between each other are becoming less and less as the distance increases, and the telephone calls are becoming fewer and fewer, and the relationship is slowly fading away unconsciously.

The friendship of friends like Cao Tiemin and Cao Shujie is precious in Cao Jianlong's eyes.

"Hey, Uncle Long, isn't this all as it should be." Cao Tiemin felt that this was normal.

Cao Jianlong glanced at him higher: "Tiemin, you go and get busy, I'll go around." ”

"If there is something, you call me, if someone dares to make trouble in our Caojiazhuang, you can also call me." Cao Jianlong said.

Cao Tiemin nodded: "Uncle Jianlong, don't worry, nothing will happen!" ”

The two separated, Cao Jianlong continued to walk inside, and when he was at the door, he said hello to Cao Shujie, who was busy.

Cao Shujie also handed him a small bag of strawberries: "Uncle Long, you eat first, if you still want to eat, go to the orchard to pick them yourself." ”

"Alright, you're busy, I'll go in and take a look." Cao Tiemin took the strawberry, stepped directly over the door of the barbed wire fence, and walked inside.

The people who were queuing saw that someone did not follow the rules and went directly into the orchard, and the people at the front shouted, Cao Shujie explained with a smile: "It was my Uncle Long just now, the elder of my family, he came to help with the work, don't think too much about it, big guy." ”

Hearing this, the restless crowd quieted down.

Cao Shujie, Cheng Xiaolin, Cao Shujie and his father Cao Jianguo divided bags and basins at the door, and weighed them.

There are more than 20 people temporarily recruited from Caojiazhuang to help, and everyone guards a piece, and when they see any problems, they go over to solve them in time.

Let all visitors enjoy the best service and feel at home.

Unconsciously, the morning was almost over, and at this time, Cao Shujie and his wife were a little numb in their hair basins and plastic bags, and his father Cao Jianguo had been replaced and went to rest in the hut for a while.

"Shujie, how many people did you say came today?" Cheng Xiaolin asked.

Cao Shujie is really hard to say, he summarized: "This time there are more people than the last Qingming Festival." ”

"That's for sure, many people go back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors on Qingming Day, but Labor Day is pure fun." Cheng Xiaolin said.

"That's true." Cao Shujie continued to get busy.

"Boss, weigh these strawberries." As the two of them were talking, two men came from the orchard to the north, and the man was carrying two bags of strawberries in his hands.

He put it on the scale, and the electronic scale automatically weighed more than 6 catties and 2 taels, and Cao Shujie directly wiped the odds for him.

"Brother, just give me 210 yuan." Cao Shujie said.

The other party paid very happily, he knew that he put more in the pot when he picked, and the boss of the family saw this and didn't say anything else, just by virtue of this, Cao Shujie immediately won the favor of these people present.

"Boss, we've been playing all morning, we're a little hungry, is there a place to eat in our village?" After the young man had finished paying, he asked him.

Cao Shujie pointed to the north and said: "There is a farmhouse restaurant over there, the dishes are clean and hygienic, and the price is cheap, you can go and see it." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the intersection of the south side and said, "There are also some fast food sellers here at the foot of our mountain, you can also go over and try it." ”

"I've seen it all, dumplings, steamed buns, pancakes and fruits, I finally came here, and I definitely want to taste something different." The young man glanced at the girl beside him and said.

Cao Shujie understood his thoughts, smiled, pointed to the north and said, "Then you have to go to the farmhouse restaurant to taste our special beef, which is fed with fodder and pasture in my orchard." ”

He said: "Some of the ripe fruits on the ground, I also mixed them in the feed, and the beef has a fruity aroma. ”

"Ouch, that's a real gotta try." When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up.

Not to mention him, the other people around heard Cao Shujie's introduction to the farmhouse restaurant, and they were also interested, thinking that when they had enough of playing in the orchard for a while, they would go over there to taste the special beef.

Caojiazhuang didn't have any special beef, but when Cao Shujie said this, these tourists really believed what he said.

……

Cao Huifang returned to her brother's house, put down her schoolbag and luggage, and prepared to go to the mountains to help.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw her grandfather sitting and drinking tea in the living room, and her niece Mengmeng lying on the sofa playing with toys.

Xu heard her move into the door, Meng Meng turned around, and when she saw her, Meng Meng was immediately overjoyed: "Auntie." ”

But then thinking about what her aunt did to her, Mengmeng immediately stood up and ran towards the old man, seeking protection.

When Cao Huifang saw this scene, she felt that her heart had been stabbed hard, and she was very hurt.

"Mengmeng, what are you hiding from me?" Cao Huifang asked her with a resentful look in her eyes.

But Mengmeng has been hiding behind the old man and ignoring her.

Cao Zhenghu was very happy when he saw his granddaughter come in: "Fangfang, are you on vacation?" ”

"Grandpa, we have a holiday after yesterday afternoon's class, but it's not good to take the car, I came back by car this morning." Cao Huifang said.

Cao Zhenghu waved his hand: "It's okay, you can get home!" ”

Looking at the time, Cao Zhenghu asked his granddaughter, "Have you eaten?" If you haven't eaten, there's still food in the kitchen, so you can just heat it up. ”

"Do you have any homework?"

Cao Huifang shook her head: "Grandpa, I don't have homework." ”

As she spoke, Cao Huifang prepared to go to the kitchen: "Grandpa, I'll eat something to cushion my stomach first, and I'll go to the mountains to help my brother later." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to help, let's eat a full meal first." Cao Zhenghu said so.

Mengmeng was still hiding behind the old grandfather at this time, she looked at her aunt with a probing brain, thinking: "With the old grandfather here, my aunt shouldn't bully me, right?" ”

But it was clear that he was wrong.

Meng Meng stood up from behind the old man with the courage to stand up, and before she could stand firmly, she felt that her body was instantly weightless and flew into the air.

This sudden take-off frightened her immediately screamed.

Mengmeng was in the arms of her aunt Cao Huifang, and her two little hands stretched out towards the old grandfather, wanting the old grandfather to save her from the clutches of the devil.

But how could Cao Zhenghu have such a fast speed, and before he could stand up, Cao Huifang left the living room with her niece Mengmeng in her arms and ran to the courtyard outside.

Cao Huifang was thinking about letting her niece have a long memory, who knew that as soon as Meng Meng came out of the living room, she heard the barking of dogs outside, and immediately shouted: "Daha, Dahei, Xiaobai, bite her." ”

This voice roared very powerfully, Da Ha and Da Hei all shook the dog chain and called at Cao Huifang.

Pug Xiaobai did not have a leash, it jumped down directly from the kennel, ran to Cao Huifang's feet and barked, frightened Cao Huifang stumbled, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground.

Cao Zhenghu didn't care about it, but he was frightened when he saw that his granddaughter almost threw his great-granddaughter to the ground.

"Fangfang, hurry up and put down Mengmeng, don't fall her." Cao Zhenghu said loudly.

"It's really cute, be careful that your brother beats you!"

When Cao Huifang heard this, she subconsciously put Meng Meng on the ground.

But the next moment she came back to her senses, her brother was still on the mountain, and he couldn't control her at all.

At this time, Cao Huifang stretched out her hand and wanted to bring her niece back, who knew that Mengmeng was also a villain, and the moment her aunt put her on the ground, she immediately ran towards the old man in the living room.

Seeing that her aunt chased her in and wanted to hug her again, Mengmeng hurriedly said: "Auntie, if you want to bully me again, I will let my father beat you." ”

"What the hell?" Cao Huifang was so angry that she went to the kitchen to heat the dishes.

Seeing that the time was not early, Cao Huifang was not in a hurry to go to the mountain, opened the refrigerator and took a look, remade two dishes, and let her grandfather and niece Mengmeng eat it too, she went to find two more lunch boxes, put the rest in the box, and didn't make trouble with Mengmeng, and walked towards the mountain with the lunch box.

When she came to the intersection of the orchard in the south, Cao Huifang was particularly surprised when she saw more than a dozen people queuing up outside the door to receive small pots and plastic bags into the orchard.

After letting the others, Cao Huifang came to the door with a lunch box and shouted, "Brother, sister-in-law." ”

Cheng Xiaolin reacted very quickly, heard the voice, and looked back: "Fangfang, why are you back?" ”

"Sister-in-law, I thought you were very busy, so I came back to help you." Cao Huifang said so.

Cheng Xiaolin subconsciously glanced back and asked her, "Fangfang, did you come back by yourself?" Your classmates didn't come to play? ”

"Hehe, I didn't call them this time, I came back secretly." Cao Huifang said so.

Hearing her sister-in-law's words, Cheng Xiaolin instantly understood.

"That's right, our family is too busy at this time, I really can't spare time to take you out to play." Cheng Xiaolin said with some apologies.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay!" put the two lunch boxes on the stone strips next to them and said, "Sister-in-law, this is my fried dish, you can eat first, I'll be busy for a while." ”

But Cheng Xiaolin didn't let her, she said: "It's okay, you're quite tired from sitting in the car for so long, just rest for a while." ”

pushed back and forth, and finally Cao Shujie said: "Fangfang, you send the food to our parents." ”

"Where are they?" Cao Huifang asked.

Cao Shujie pointed inside and said, "They are in the hut, or they are on the other side of the strawberry field, you can find them in the past." ”

"Okay, I'll bring the food over first, and I'll be back later." Cao Huifang carried one of the lunch boxes and walked towards the orchard.

Seeing the rest of the lunch box, Cao Shujie said to his wife: "You eat first, there are not many people at this point, I can be busy alone." ”

Seeing that his wife was still refusing, Cao Shujie said: "You finish eating first, and then you can take care of me later." ”

Hearing her husband say this, Cheng Xiaolin was no longer entangled and hurried to eat.

A steamed bun can be swallowed in three or four bites.

At this time, there is no dignified etiquette, eat a full meal first.

After Cao Shujie saw it, he still missed his wife, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words he didn't say back into his stomach.

He knew that it was useless to say it, but it was better to do more work himself, and he could also let his wife eat steadily.

Cao Huifang didn't take long to come over, and when she saw her sister-in-law eating, she hurriedly helped distribute plastic bags.

When Fu Feng and Du Wenwu came over, it was just time for lunch.

According to their simple idea, they can go to the orchard and pick two pots of strawberries to eat enough.

But when he took the bus to Caojiazhuang Station and saw the crowded cars on the way up the mountain, Fu Feng finally believed the scene that Du Wenwu had described to him before.

Before, he felt that Du Wenwu's description was a bit exaggerated, but after seeing this scene at the scene, he believed that what Du Wenwu said was still reserved.

"Let's not go up first, I just saw a place to eat in the north, let's go and fill our stomachs first." Fu Feng made an ad hoc decision.

Du Wenwu naturally would not object.

The two came to the farmhouse restaurant, stood at the door and looked in, Fu Feng and Du Wenwu were stunned.

Du Wenwu also whispered to himself: "Why are there so many people eating?" ”

"I don't know, let's go in first and see if there's any open space." Fu Feng said.

The land occupied by the restaurant is really not small, but even so, it is still full of people, and the two of them searched back and forth in the crowd, and finally found an empty table.

"Xiao Du, I'm sitting here, you go and order a few special dishes." Fu Feng said.

He was worried that as soon as he left, the place would be taken by someone else.

Du Wenwu nodded and walked directly towards the only house in the east.

Walking up, Du Wenwu found an acquaintance.

It was the person who brought food to Cao Shujie's house when they visited Cao Shujie's house last night.

Wang Leigang also recognized Du Wenwu, he pointed at Du Wenwu very enthusiastically and said, "Alas, it's you, little brother, do you want to eat?" ”

"Big brother, I'll order a few dishes." Du Wenwu said.

Wang Lei just nodded, he pointed to the small whiteboard behind him and said: "All our specialties are written on the whiteboard, you can see what you want to eat and order as you like, I will invite you today." ”

"Big brother, no, we'll go to the public account for reimbursement." Du Wenwu is a sincere person.

Wang Leigang didn't expect Du Wenwu to be so realistic, when he thought that the other party was Cao Shujie's friend, he thought in his heart: "Sure enough, people are divided into groups, Boss Cao is a good person, and his friends are also very powerful!" ”

After Du Wenwu finished ordering, Wang Leigang said, "What table are you sitting at?" ”

"Number 126." Du Wenwu remembered that there was a red label of 126 on the table.

"Okay, you guys go over, I'll arrange for someone to bring you the food over in a while, and I'll give you two bowls of beef soup." Wang Leigang said.

Du Wenwu returned to table 126 and told the editor-in-chief Fu Feng about the matter.

After listening to this, Fu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Cao's friend really doesn't have to talk about it!" ”

Cao Shujie on the mountain didn't know what was happening under the mountain, he was so busy that his mouth was a little dry at the moment, and his lips were dry.

But he didn't care about drinking water, so he picked up a strawberry and threw it into his mouth, quenching his thirst and satisfying his hunger in this way!

There are also in the evening
