When you think about it, it's a real problem.

Cheng Xiaolin waited for her daughter to fall asleep before carrying her to the second floor.

Cao Shujie followed, pushed open the bedroom door, and Cao Shujie had an intoxicated expression on his face: "It's better to be at home." ”

"Shujie, don't talk nonsense, you hurry up and help the handle hold Mengmeng first, and I'll change the sheets." Cheng Xiaolin said.

It will be half a month to leave, even if it is not dirty, Cheng Xiaolin has to be replaced.

Cao Shujie carefully hugged his daughter, making Mengmeng sleep more comfortably.

After watching his wife change the sheets, Cao Shujie knelt on the bed on one leg and put his daughter on the bed.

"Shujie, you cover her with a blanket and don't let her freeze." Cheng Xiaolin instructed her husband.

At this time, not to mention that it can't be compared with summer, even at the beginning of October, the temperature has dropped so much, and now the temperature at night is in the single digits, which is colder than when they were in WW City.

"Shujie, did you really let our grandfather go to the uncle's side?" Cheng Xiaolin asked.

Cao Shujie had a hesitant expression for the first time, and he said, "How do you say it? For grandpa, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat. ”

"It's not that if I don't let him go, he won't go, wife, do you understand?" Cao Shujie looked at his wife, and the expression in his eyes was complicated.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded, she understood!

Even if her husband doesn't want his grandfather to go, what does grandpa think about himself?

There are also his sons, grandsons, great-grandchildren.

Cheng Xiaolin was also silent and did not speak.

As her husband said, this thing is quite difficult and very confusing.

Coming down from upstairs, Cao Shujie went to the kitchen to help his mother cook, and just opened the door to see that his mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan was also busy inside.

Seeing him coming, Li Xiaojuan also asked him: "Shujie, is Mengmeng on the bed?" ”

"Well, I'm also tired, and I slept very hard, Mom, you go and rest for a while, I'll just cook." Cao Shujie said.

Li Xiaojuan said: "You go and get busy, my eldest sister and I are cooking, it's okay." ”

"Where's Dongdong?" Cao Shujie didn't see his nephew.

Li Xiaojuan said: "He also fell asleep in bed just now. ”

"So fast." Cao Shujie was surprised.

When he came to the living room, his grandfather Cao Zhenghu was sitting on the official hat chair with his eyes closed.

Cao Shujie thought that his grandfather was also tired and sat asleep, and was thinking about going over and patting him and letting him go to the room to rest, but who knew that his grandfather suddenly opened his eyes.

This frightened Cao Shujie.

"Grandpa, if you're tired, go to the house and rest for a while." Cao Shujie said.

A gentle smile appeared on Cao Zhenghu's face, which began to have age spots, and inadvertently, Cao Shujie noticed that his grandfather looked a little older.

Cao Zhenghu shook his head: "I'm not sleepy." ”

"Okay, the meal will be ready soon, and we'll rest when we're done eating." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Zhenghu nodded, and he said, "Shujie, make me a cup of tea." ”

"Okay, grandpa, do you drink green tea, or black tea?" Cao Shujie opened the cupboard and asked his grandfather.

"Black tea." Cao Zhenghu said.

A few minutes later, Cao Shujie put the teacup in front of his grandfather, the red tea soup was steaming hot, and there was a faint fragrance.

Cao Zhenghu took the teacup and blew the surface of the teacup with his mouth, a layer of ripples rippled on the surface of the water, and the hot air that was rising straight up was also blown and bent over, he looked at his grandson and said, "Shujie, I don't want to go to your uncle's side in Anyi." ”

"Eh, okay, grandpa, you can stay here with me." Cao Shujie was overjoyed, and he should come down next.

He said: "Grandpa, if you want to eat something, I'll buy it tomorrow, all the delicacies of the mountains and seas." ”

"You grandson!" Cao Zhenghu looked at the smile that suddenly appeared on his grandson's face, and his heart was also happy, but he said, "I don't want to eat anything now." ”

"This time I went back to Xinjiang, are there still few good things to eat on the way? I can't eat it anymore. Cao Zhenghu pressed his hand down and motioned for his grandson to sit down as well.

He said: "I'm 84 years old during the Chinese New Year, and to put it mildly, I don't know when it won't work, I don't think I'll go out and run." ”

"That's no problem, but grandpa, don't say this, let's live a land immortal first." Cao Shujie said with a smile: "I specially opened a vegetable garden on the mountain, and in the future, our family will eat and drink the cleanest, which is much stronger than those food supplements and medicine supplements." ”

"Grandpa, listen to me, a hundred years old is a trivial matter." Cao Shujie stated.

Cao Zhenghu was amused by him: "Okay, I'm not afraid, the main thing is that I'm gone, and your grandmother is at home, it's not good." ”

"Grandpa, don't think so, let's not mention this."

Cao Shujie said: "I'll call the uncle later." ”

"You call your uncle, I'll tell him." Cao Zhenghu took another sip of tea and said.

Cao Shujie thought for a while and nodded: "I'll call my uncle." ”

A phone call was dialed, and after about twenty seconds, the other side of the phone was connected: "Hey, Shujie, are you back?" ”

"Uncle, I just came home today, and I heard my dad say that you called some time ago." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Jianlin's voice came: "Yes, I think it will be the end of the year soon, and your eldest brother and I will go back to our hometown at the end of the year and take your grandfather over." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhenghu motioned to his grandson Cao Shujie to hand him the phone.

Cao Shujie handed it over, and Cao Zhenghu said into the microphone: "Jianlin, I'm your father!" ”

"I'll tell you something, I'm old and don't plan to go far away." Cao Zhenghu said succinctly and clearly.

Cao Jianlin was stunned, and before he came back to his senses, he heard his old father say again: "If you come back to play, just come back at any time, if you pick me up, you don't have to come back." ”

"Dad, why, you're here, I'll accompany you around." Cao Jianlin didn't figure it out.

Is he still thinking that it was the second brother or nephew who poured ecstasy on his old father?

Then I heard Cao Zhenghu say: "If I die outside, how lonely your mother will be!" ”

Cao Shujie looked at his grandfather's joy, and he didn't know what to say.

He was struggling with his wife on the second floor just now, and he told his wife that he didn't know what his grandfather thought, but he didn't expect that his grandfather's thoughts were very simple.

Cao Jianlin didn't know how to respond.

Cao Zhenghu has already said: "Okay, I've said everything I should say, hang up the phone first." ”

After speaking, he threw the phone to Cao Shujie, but Cao Shujie didn't answer it properly, and the phone fell directly to the ground, almost not broken.

……

Jianguo Community on Changguo Road, Anyi City, this is an old community.

Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin and their brothers pooled money and bought a two-room apartment of more than 60 square meters for their father in this old community.

Without a son or daughter-in-law to take care of, Cao Jianlin is quite comfortable living here alone.

I had just finished making a phone call, listening to the blind sound coming from my phone, and looking at another bedroom with a closed door, where my old father lived last year.

He didn't expect that his old father would be reluctant to come this year.

"How can this work, say that one person will take care of it for a year." Cao Jianlin muttered.

When he came to his senses, he quickly called his two sons and asked them to come to him after work to discuss the matter.

After waiting for dark, Cao Shuxin and Cao Shubin came over one after another, and Cao Jianlin told the brothers that their grandfather Cao Zhenghu was unwilling to come.

"That's what your grandfather means." Cao Zhenghu said.

"Dad, is my grandfather unwell, did he say anything else?" Cao Shubin thought of this for the first time.

Common sense speaking, his grandfather is over 80 years old, and his health is definitely not as good as that of a young man, even worse than his father.

After all, when people are old, everyone wants to return to their roots!

Cao Shuxin was anxious when he heard it: "Dad, why don't we go back in advance and see my grandfather." ”

"Probably not!" When Cao Jianlin thought about talking to his brother Cao Jianguo on the phone, his brother didn't say anything special.

If the old father's health really went wrong, his brother would not hide this kind of thing.

"That's weird." Cao Shubin muttered.

"Brother, don't think about it, let's go back in a few days, ask in person if there is anything, if it works, it's okay to bring our grandfather back a month in advance." Cao Shuxin proposed.

Cao Jianlong and Cao Shubin both agreed to this plan, and they didn't even plan to call their second uncle and cousin, and planned to surprise them again when they went back.

……

Mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan lived in Caojiazhuang for two days, thinking that after leaving Chengjiapo for 20 days, she should also go back to see, so she asked Cao Shujie to drive their grandparents and grandchildren back.

When Cao Shujie sent them back, he also said: "Mom, it's cold now, how good it would be for you to stay for a while." ”

"Your dad is an old fool, he is a mess of work, and I think about it for 20 days, he has to make a mess of the house." Li Xiaojuan said so.

But Cao Shujie can understand her homesickness.

sent his mother-in-law and nephew back to Chengjiapo, and as soon as he came over, he heard his father-in-law Cheng Rengui chattering that 10 calves had been delivered.

These calves are recorded in Cao Shujie's account, but Cao Shujie has not bothered to transfer them to Cui Jingguo during the time he has been playing outside.

He thought that he would turn Cui Jingguo around after returning home.

Before leaving, Cao Shujie secretly left 10,000 yuan for their old couple, he went back, and they all arrived in Pingyuan County, and his mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan called and asked him urgently on the phone if he had forgotten something.

"Mom, the money is reserved for you and my dad to spend, don't be reluctant, just spend it." Cao Shujie said.

Li Xiaojuan naturally didn't want it, and said that Cao Shujie would drive back to get it quickly.

"Mom, I'll be home soon, you can just spend it, you don't have to keep it."

Cao Shujie also pretended to be 'hey, hey, hey' for a while, and said, "Mom, I'm driving a car here, so I'll hang up first." ”

Cheng Jiapo, Cheng Rengui's house, the old couple looked at the 10,000 yuan in the black plastic bag, and they looked at each other.

Li Xiaojuan also muttered: "Lao Cheng, look at your son-in-law, and then look at your son, you can't do anything, it's really a waste!" ”

"......" What else can Cheng Rengui say?

But he also knew that if he was compared with his son-in-law, his son Cheng Yunping would not be comparable at all!

……

After Cao Shujie returned home, Cheng Xiaolin also asked him: "What's the matter, my dad didn't make a mess at home." ”

Cao Shujie thought about the scene when he first arrived at his father-in-law's house, and smiled: "Wife, you know your father quite well." ”

"I know a lot, he hasn't been reassuring alone." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie didn't argue with his wife about the length of the elders, he said: "I put down the money for the old couple of them, and if you are free, your mother will call them and tell them not to keep the money, but to spend it." ”

When I went to pick up my mother-in-law some time ago, my mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan said that she had saved the money, and her father-in-law also said that when she sold the 5 big cows, she would have money.

But Cao Shujie pondered it carefully, and he felt that eighty percent of the family really had no money, and as for saying that the family still had savings, it was probably embarrassing to ask him for money to spend.

Not to mention his father-in-law and mother-in-law, it was his parents Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan who also took the initiative to give money last year and this year, otherwise the old couple would really rather have no money and be uncomfortable, and would not ask him.

There is no way, this seems to have become a common problem of his parents' generation, who are always afraid of causing trouble to their children.

In October, we hurriedly waved goodbye to people, turned around and ushered in November, and the temperature dropped further.

According to the weather forecast, it has already begun to snow in some places, and it is still very heavy.

The last fallen leaves in the orchard also swirled and fell to the ground after a cold gust of wind, and in an instant, the orchard became bare.

Cao Shujie looked at the bare mountain, and he was wondering whether he should plant some flowers that bloom in the cold winter and add a little vitality to the mountain.

At this time, Cao Jianlong called him and told him that Cao Jiangang had come back and was sent back by the police car.

"I heard that he can't leave Yiling City." Cao Jianlong said on the phone.

After Cao Shujie heard it, he understood that he Jiangang Uncle should be executed outside of prison!

As for the specific reason, Cao Shujie doesn't understand, but it can't be ruled out that there is indeed a big problem with his Uncle Jiangang's body.

Cao Jianlong called him because he wanted to call him over to see Cao Jiangang.

"Uncle Long, I have time at any time." Cao Shujie said.

It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, Cao Jianlong shouted that he would go over today.

Cao Shujie came down from the mountain, pulled the house, there were two bottles of blue and white 20, and there were 4 boxes of pure milk, he directly picked up a box and rode an electric car to meet Cao Jianlong.

"Uncle Long, let's go." When he saw Cao Jianlong, Cao Shujie greeted him.

Cao Jianlong looked at Qinghua 20 and said to him: "Your kid still has a lot of good wine at home." ”

"Then I have to prepare two bottles of Wuliangye for you, and I will send them to you another day." Cao Shujie opened his mouth and came.

This made Cao Jianlong's heart happy, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Cao Shujie: "Don't bribe me, you kid, say, what's the matter?" ”

"You can rest assured, nothing happens." Cao Shujie said with a smile: "It's not like this year is going to pass soon, I wish us a good harvest next year in advance!" ”

This was reasonable, and the smile on Cao Jianlong's face became stronger.

He said: "Shujie, whether it works or not depends on next year." ”

Cao Jianlong attaches great importance to it.

But Cao Shujie told him: "Not next year, there will be a total of only so many cattle, and all the cattle add up to more than 100 heads, which is not enough for me to have a farm." ”

"But after the turn of the year, I bought a lot of pasture, which should boost everyone's morale." Cao Shujie also has his plans.

The villagers must be given hope, otherwise it will really hit people's self-confidence if they just talk about the sky, no matter how beautiful the plan is, and there is no hope at all.
