Cao Shuxu picked up Moutai and Wuliangye and looked at them, they were not new wines.

"Shujie, you can do it, you have hidden a lot of good things." He said.

Cao Shujie smiled and didn't care at all: "No matter how good things are, they are also drunk, brothers are here today, let's have a good drink." ”

As he was talking, he saw his wife coming over with a plate of shredded ginger and green onions mixed with beef head meat, he was quick to take it from his wife's hand and put it on the table, and then bragged to his brother: "I'll tell you, after the New Year, I will go to learn a wine-making method, and then make my own fruit wine, and when we get together again next year, all of these broken Moutai, Wuliangye, and Fenjiu will not be drunk, just drink my own fruit wine, and deer blood wine, how about it?" ”

"Shujie, don't think about it, it's illegal to brew wine without permission." Cao Shulun made fun of him.

Several people burst out laughing.

Cao Shujie pointed outside and shouted: "If you dare to call to report it, I will throw you into the kennel tonight and wait for the nine brothers." ”

"Haha!"

"Come, don't just watch, let's eat a little to pad our stomachs first, and we won't get drunk tonight."

At this time, thousands of lights are lit up, and the reunion is reunited.

Everyone who came back from working in other places listened to their family talk about the new events that had happened in the village in the past year.

Discussing that their family will be able to greatly increase their income in two years, and the surplus money in their hands will be more relaxed, and it will be easier to really buy something at that time.

"You don't know, when Shujie is the village director, he really leads the people in our village to find a way to make money, unlike those who were officials in the past, they know that they make money, where to care about the life and death of others." Someone was drinking and suddenly talked about it.

"That's not it, my family raised 4 cows last year, and they can be sold on this year's National Day, I heard that a cow can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan now, and our family will be really rich by then."

"Don't you still grow pasture? After the spring of the year, the temperature rises, and the first stubble can be harvested at that time, and it is no problem to harvest a stubble every other month, so isn't it money? ”

"Don't sell it, we keep it for our own cattle to eat, I heard that Director Cao's cattle are sold at an expensive price, and people just feed good grass, fruits, corn, soybean meal, and that kind of hormone feed basically don't eat."

Some people are also discussing Cao Shujie taking them to plant kiwifruit trees and taking them to work in the town to earn money.

There are also people discussing Caojiazhuang's Mid-Autumn Festival last year and this year's Spring Festival welfare.

Pile by pile, piece by piece, let every villager in Caojiazhuang feel that the days are really rushing, no longer like in the past, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, hurriedly working for a year, in the end of an acre of land fell a thousand dollars, really encountered something at all reluctant to spend money, that day ......

That night, not only the people of Caojiazhuang were discussing Cao Shujie, but also the people of Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village were also discussing him.

They are in the surrounding villages and really get benefits from Caojiazhuang.

There are many people in these two villages who grow kiwifruit saplings, pasture, and raise cattle, and they are not afraid that the kiwifruit will not be sold after the harvest.

On the contrary, they all feel that Cao Shujie from Caojiazhuang is there, and these are not problems at all.

For the first time, some people felt that the Spring Festival passed too quickly, and they didn't talk enough when they got together, and they didn't drink enough wine, and they said that they drank a meal of wine until dawn, but after dawn, they should be busy with other things.

Cao Shujie is the same.

After drinking late with a few good brothers last night and sending them away, Cao Shujie only slept for more than four hours before he was woken up by Mengmeng.

"Dad, didn't you say you were going to grandma's house today, hurry up." Mengmeng clasped Cao Shujie's nostrils with her hand, pulled his hair, and swept a long hair she picked up from the bed on her father's face.

"Ahh

Cao Shujie felt an itch on his face, and he couldn't help it, so he sneezed.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was his daughter Mengmeng sitting on him, and one finger was still clasping his nose.

Suddenly seeing her father open her eyes, Meng Meng was also startled, her instinctive hand pulled back, her body leaned back, and she was about to fall back on the bed.

Fortunately, Cao Shujie reacted quickly enough and caught her at the critical moment.

"Where's your mother?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Meng Meng was a little scared at first, but she recovered after a while: "Mom cooks, let me call you up to eat." ”

Cao Shujie yawned again and hurriedly got up.

After having breakfast at home and packing up her things, saying goodbye to her parents, Cheng Xiaolin drove the father and daughter towards Chengjiapo.

"They're gone." Cao Zhenghu asked.

Wang Yuelan said 'um': "Dad, Linlin drove away, and I'll be back early tomorrow morning." ”

"Is your eldest brother coming back tomorrow, or later?" Cao Zhenghu asked his son Cao Jianguo.

Cao Jianguo also couldn't say well: "Dad, I'll call my eldest brother and ask." ”

"Hmm!" Cao Zhenghu nodded.

At the same time, the expression on his face was a little lonely: "Jianguo, Lan Xiang hasn't been back for a few years, right?" ”

When Cao Jianguo heard this name, the expression on his face changed a little, and he said: "Dad, it doesn't matter if the second sister doesn't come back, she is far away, and it is not convenient to take the car back and forth." ”

"Dad, the second sister may come back next year." Wang Yuelan said.

A look of gloom flashed on Cao Zhenghu's face, and then a smile appeared: "Yes, she may come back next year." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhenghu turned around and went back to the room: "I'm a little tired, let's go rest for a while." ”

Wang Yuelan saw her father-in-law enter the house to rest, she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.

Instead, Cao Huifang next to her shouted: "Dad, Mom, my aunt has no conscience, she doesn't come back for several years, she doesn't usually call, she doesn't care about anything at home, is there such a girl?" ”

"Fangfang, don't talk nonsense, your aunt also has children and a family, and she can't help herself." Cao Jianguo argued with his sister.

But this time, even his wife Wang Yuelan didn't support him: "Jianguo, you just protect your sister, what kind of virtue she is, you know better than anyone else." ”

"It's a big New Year, can you say something good." Cao Jianguo said.

As soon as they finished speaking, Wang Yuelan and Cao Huifang's mother and daughter stopped talking about these things.

Wang Yuelan looked at her daughter and said, "Fangfang, I'll tell you first, if you look for a partner in the future, you must not look too far, otherwise, or ......."

She wanted to say two cruel words, but after all, she was her daughter, and she couldn't say some things.

But Cao Huifang understood in her heart, she ran over and hugged her mother's shoulders, and said a little playfully: "Mom, don't worry, I definitely can't find a far, and when the time comes, I won't come back if I leave like my aunt." ”

"You still have the face to say, don't mention her to me." Wang Yuelan has a good temper, and when she talks about this matter, she can't control her temper.

……

Cheng Xiaolin drove GL8, and Cao Shujie and Mengmeng, father and daughter, were lying in the middle row of seats.

Cao Shujie was crossing Erlang's legs, and Meng Meng also followed him after seeing it.

"Daddy, tell me a story." Meng Meng swayed one leg and said with some expectation.

Cao Shujie had nothing to do and asked her, "What story do you want to hear?" ”

"Brother Monkey, there is also the story of Zhu Bajie marrying a daughter-in-law." Meng Meng knows a lot.

Cao Shujie wondered where she knew, and as soon as she asked her, Mengmeng pointed to Cheng Xiaolin, who was driving in front of her, and said, "My mother told me, she said that you are Zhu Bajie, the mother who married." ”

"Mengmeng, your mother is underwhelmed." Cao Shujie never thought that there would be such a relationship.

Cheng Xiaolin laughed when she heard it in front of her, and she also said to Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, your father used to be fat, his belly was as fat as when I was pregnant with you, and your father lost weight in order to take wedding photos." ”

Mengmeng's focus was obviously not on the same channel as her mother, and she looked at Cao Shujie with wide eyes: "Dad, are you pregnant too?" Want to have a baby? ”

"Haha!" Cheng Xiaolin never expected her daughter to think so.

Laughing all the way, I drove to Chengjiapo safely and smoothly.

Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui were already waiting at the door in big cotton jackets, looking at their faces a little peachy, Cheng Xiaolin was still very distressed and nagged them: "Dad, Mom, you just wait at home, what are you doing standing outside." ”

"Your dad and I can't stay idle at home, thinking that you're coming soon." After Li Xiaojuan saw her daughter and granddaughter, she quickly took Mengmeng over and hugged her in her arms.

Next year, the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month has just come, and in just a few days, Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui have made it seem like they haven't seen each other for several years.

Li Xiaojuan hugged her great-granddaughter and pulled her daughter to walk inside, when Cheng Rengui went to help her son-in-law move things, he saw that his son-in-law didn't pay attention, he quickly took out a thing wrapped in a cloth bag from the big cotton jacket, quickly glanced at it, and stuffed it under the rear seat from the trunk.

He consciously did it very secretly, but when Cao Shujie turned around to take something, he still saw it: "Dad, what is this?" ”

"It's nothing, let's move things quickly." Cheng Rengui hurriedly carried a few boxes and walked home.

But Cao Shujie didn't believe it, he looked at his father-in-law who was hurriedly carrying things home, and then looked at the cloth bag under the seat, bent down and stretched out his arm to take out the cloth bag.

When I opened it, there was a stack of money inside, and according to experience, the thickness should be about 30,000 yuan.

Cao Shujie couldn't cry or laugh, looking at the brand-new banknotes, this should have been picked up from the bank ATM recently, right?

"You have to score twice to take out so much, why should you!" Cao Shujie felt that some things were really unclear.

At this time, he suddenly realized that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had been waiting for them outside, perhaps to 'secretly' repay him the money.

Cao Shujie didn't pretend to be smart enough to put the money in other gift boxes and bring it in, and when he carried his things home, he also told his wife.

After Cheng Xiaolin heard it, she said: "I knew it would be like this for a long time, my parents are not the kind of temper that takes people's things." ”

"If they give it, don't give it to you, so be it." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie entered the house, but the house was empty, and the lit briquette stove still couldn't heat up, and he felt cold.

He thought that he had told his parents-in-law about installing radiators last year, and they had been worried about the money, and they had not installed them for a year.

Thinking about his father-in-law losing the money in the car, Cao Shujie called his wife outside again: "Wife, you can take me around the town later, and see which ...... install radiators."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Xiaolin glanced at him: "Shujie, you are too confused, now you are going home for the New Year, who still installs radiators." ”

"I know they are all going home for the New Year, but it's okay to find a phone number, make an appointment in advance, ask for an account to call the money, and wait for the people to open and come directly to the house to install it." Cao Shujie said so.

"You have a lot of eyes." Cheng Xiaolin said him, but she still had a rich smile on her face.

Not long after they put down their things, they went out and found a shop in town that installed radiators.

As Cheng Xiaolin said, the door of the store is closed, but there is a piece of paper pasted on the door, and there is a phone on it.

Cao Shujie dialed out according to this phone, and after the other side was connected, Cao Shujie told him his thoughts, but he didn't expect that the person on the other side said that he could come over this afternoon to install them.

"Boss, aren't you a good year?" Cao Shujie asked subconsciously.

Immediately, I heard the person on the other side say: "If you don't have money for the New Year, it's not the New Year, it's better to work to earn some money, you are Cheng Jiapo, I'll go over in the afternoon." ”

Hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie said to his wife: "Boss Qian will come over in the afternoon." ”

"He's not a young man." Cheng Xiaolin also felt incredible.

Cao Shujie thought for a while before saying: "People say that there is no money for the New Year, and it is not the New Year. ”

Cheng Xiaolin understood what it meant in an instant.

"Let's go, go back and wait." Cao Shujie and his daughter-in-law got into the car and returned to Chengjiapo.

In the afternoon, while eating, the money boss who worked on the radiator came over on a motorized tricycle.

Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui watched Boss Qian unload the pipes and radiators from the tricycle body, they were still a little confused, and they didn't know what the situation was.

Cheng Rengui was about to ask, but Cao Shujie said to them: "Dad, it's too cold at home, and it's not good for children, you don't want money, then I'll install a radiator for you, so be it." ”

"You kid, you let me tell you what's good." Li Xiaojuan also understood what was going on.

Boss Qian didn't know why, after he unloaded all the things, he went back to run again, and pulled the small boiler and stove over.

This does not need to measure the size, cut the iron pipe on the spot, and connect it on the spot.

Cao Shujie and Cheng Yunping came over to help after eating, and later Cheng Rengui also came to help.

Pour water into the boiler and boil it again, the stove that Boss Qian got was very hot, and in less than ten minutes, the pipe began to warm up.

He checked that there was no leakage, so he packed up his things and went home for the New Year.

When he left, Cao Shujie clearly saw a happy smile on his face.

"Oops, the radiator is so hot." After Cheng Rengui felt the temperature in the house, he touched the pipe and then the radiator, and it was a little hot.

If you look closely, you will find that Cheng Rengui is as happy as a child at this time.

"This radiator is good, but it's too wasted carbon." Li Xiaojuan said.

Cheng Xiaolin muttered to her mother: "Mom, don't be reluctant to give up that money, besides, Shujie helped you contact a charcoal seller, and the money was transferred to others." ”

"What's going on?" Li Xiaojuan wondered.

Cheng Xiaolin said: "Mobile banking, thousands of yuan, it will be transferred in minutes, and the boss of the family said that when the fifth day of the new year opens, I will send you carbon." ”

After Cheng Yunping heard it next to him, he felt a little ashamed.

He understood that these things should have been done by him, but he went out for a year last year and didn't save any money.

"You have to work hard after the New Year!" Cheng Yunping thought to himself.
