Knowing that she will continue to play tomorrow, after taking a shower at night, Mengmeng lies on the bed with her eyes closed, and pulls the quilt over her head, and her mouth purses and makes a whirring sound.

Looks like he's asleep.

Cao Shujie knew his daughter too well, standing next to the bed and looking at her, silently counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in his heart......

Thinking that if you can't count to 10, Meng Meng will wake up, right?

Sure enough, when Cao Shujie just counted to 8, Meng Meng, who was lying on the bed, moved his hand, and this strange little hand grabbed the quilt and tentatively pulled it down little by little.

After Cao Shujie saw this scene, he also tugged at his wife's clothes with his hand, and when his wife opened her mouth to ask, Cao Shujie put her fingers on her lips.

"Shh

Motioning for his wife not to speak, he gestured to the bed.

Cheng Xiaolin subconsciously turned her head to look over, and saw that her daughter had pulled the quilt to expose her hair, and her forehead was exposed when she saw it, Cheng Xiaolin was angry and directly reached over to uncover the quilt that was still covering her little face.

Mengmeng was originally covered by the quilt, and it was pitch black in front of her, and she was suddenly pulled away by Cheng Xiaolin, she looked at the dazzling lights on the roof with wide eyes, her little head was a little confused, and she couldn't react at all.

When her eyes fell on Dad and Mom, she let out a scream of 'Ah'.

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter with a dark face, and said in an unkind tone: "Mengmeng, what are you trying to do?" If you don't want to sleep, get out of here and don't come back. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she burst out laughing.

It was as if I had found a new toy, and I was very happy.

Cao Shujie knew that this would be the case.

He turned around and went to take a shower, and asked his wife to put Meng Meng to sleep first.

……

Caojiazhuang!

Cao Jianqiu and his nephew Cao Shubao returned after almost two years in prison.

After they were released from prison, they were taken back to Caojiazhuang by their eldest brother Cao Jianguang, and they were a little stunned to see the current Caojiazhuang.

"Big brother, how many years has this been?" Cao Jianqiu stood at the door of his eldest brother's house and asked his eldest brother Cao Jianguang.

Cao Jianguang is an honest and responsible person, who has worked diligently in Caojiazhuang all his life to save money, ready to be used by his son to marry his daughter-in-law.

In his heart, he despised his second brother's lazy and lazy mannerism, stealing chickens and touching dogs.

If it weren't for the brotherhood, Cao Jianguang wouldn't care about his brother.

But who knew that his son Cao Shubao didn't study well and followed his brother Cao Jianqiu to steal things in the village.

He doesn't know that he usually fights petty, and no one in the village really can't get along with them.

But who knew that they stole things into Cao Shujie's orchard the year before last, and were stolen by others, and finally called the police and searched out expensive fruits from his brother's house that had not yet had time to sell the stolen goods.

Later, his brother and son were sentenced and imprisoned.

His son couldn't get out for a while, and he just made a mistake, so it was difficult to say that he was a daughter-in-law in Caojiazhuang.

Because of this, when Cao Shujie became the village director last year, and later advocated that the people in the village follow him to plant fruit trees, raise cattle, and plant pasture, Cao Jianguang was so happy that he simply took out half of the money he saved to follow Cao Shujie to buy kiwifruit fruit saplings and plant kiwifruit on his family's land.

The rest of the money bought five calves, plus the usual buy feed, corn, soybean cake and other things, diligently raised for a year, and at the end of last month, they sold a big cow with a piece.

At the time of checkout, Gao Changyin, the village accountant, said that his five cows totaled 6,930 catties and sold for 94,248 yuan.

According to the pre-negotiated payment of half in advance, he got 47,124 yuan on the spot, and he couldn't find the north to give him to the United States.

At this time, Cao Jianguang believed in a sentence that hard work can get rich, and he was an example.

In the past, Cao Jianguang didn't believe that he could earn more than 90,000 yuan a year.

And he also planted more than six acres of orchards, according to Director Cao, these orchards grow kiwifruit, and when the harvest is time, it is more than the money he makes raising cattle.

When he heard this, the honest man Cao Jianguang felt more beautiful in his heart.

He really didn't complain about the village director Cao Shujie sending his son to a prison cell.

If his son hadn't done it himself, what would it be?

Cao Jianguang is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong.

But then again, his son didn't go in, Cao Jianguang took the money he saved to tell his son about family affairs, so he didn't have money to raise cattle and plant fruit trees, and naturally he couldn't earn the money later.

Regarding this result, Cao Jianguang is still quite complicated in his heart.

Hearing his brother's question, Cao Jianguang glared at him and said, "Now on October 4, 2013, you said how many years have it been?" ”

Cao Jianqiu looked at his eldest brother's tone as if he was taking gunpowder, hehe smirked, and didn't dare to reply.

But when Cao Shubao saw the changes in the village, he also asked: "Dad, why are there so many cars in the village?" ”

Many people in Caojiazhuang have bought vans, mainly to pull goods and carry people.

Especially for those who do business in Caojiazhuang around Cao Shujie's orchard, it is more convenient to have a van to carry things, and this kind of car is not expensive.

Cao Shubao frowned and said, "Not only are there more cars, but the village seems to be cleaner......

"Why are there flowers planted on the side of the road? Isn't it a waste that these places don't grow a la carte? Cao Jianqiu added.

Cao Shubao immediately understood what the problem was.

"Yes, Dad, why is our village different from before, so much has changed in two years?"

Cao Shubao looked at his father, and suddenly found that his father had also become a little different.

After being released from prison today, they rushed home, and Cao Shubao really didn't pay too much attention to his father, nor did he find that his father's current spirit was very different from before.

There is no way, the income has become higher than before, the real money is stored in the bank, and there are kiwifruit in the field that can be grown for decades, and the confidence is more sufficient.

After having money, people's spirit and temperament are different, and Cao Jianguang is no longer as difficult to make money as before, he is reluctant to spend money, and he seems to be a submissive person.

When Cao Jianqiu heard his nephew say this, he also looked at his eldest brother seriously: "Brother, if you don't say Shubao, I really haven't paid attention, do you have anything good?" Let's hear it. ”

He spoke with a lewd look.

Although Cao Jianguang didn't bother to take care of him, when he thought that this was his only brother, he still told him the reason.

Hearing that the eldest brother followed Cao Shujie to raise cattle last year, earned more than 90,000 yuan, and planted a kiwifruit orchard, Cao Jianqiu entered a state of confusion on the spot.

I never thought it would be like this.

"Jianqiu, don't do those things like stealing chickens and dogs in the future."

As the eldest brother, Cao Jianguang told him earnestly: "Don't you still have two acres of land, I will lend you some money, you buy fruit tree saplings and cement pillar wire, you also follow the planting of kiwifruit, and wait for the kiwi fruit trees to bear fruit in three years, you sell it for money, and then you will pay me back." ”

"Brother, how much money can you make? Is it the same as Cao Shujie to make a lot of money? "Cao Jianqiu is interested.

If he can earn as much as Cao Shujie, he can also be patient and work hard.

But the words of the eldest brother Cao Jianguang shattered his dream.

"Jianqiu, what are you dreaming, the varieties we planted are different from those planted by Director Cao's family, and besides, people study fruit trees in the field every day to improve varieties, and the fruit planted by others is much finer than ours."

Speaking of this, Cao Jianguang's tone changed, and he said with a smile: "But I also heard that with the variety we are planting now, it is easy to earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year on one acre of land, and you have two acres of land, and when you start to bear fruit, you can get 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year, which is not better than you stealing chickens and dogs." ”

Cao Jianqiu doesn't like to listen to the words 'stealing chickens and touching dogs', he also eats with his ability and skills, okay?

"Brother, you have to work hard for two or three years to earn fifty or sixty thousand yuan, so this money is too slow to earn." Cao Jianqiu began to resist in his heart.

He is not the kind of person who can stabilize his temperament and farm honestly, otherwise he would not have instigated his nephew to steal things with him to make money.

Hearing that it was difficult to make money by planting orchards, Cao Jianqiu was discouraged.

He began to think again, it is impossible to farm the land!

Neither does it work to grow an orchard!

You still have to eat according to your ability!

But as soon as he came out, no matter how anxious he was, he also knew that he had to delay for two days, so he couldn't do it now, right?

Thinking about these things, Cao Jianqiu's eyes kept wandering, and Cao Jianguang felt that his younger brother didn't hold back a good idea in his heart.

He also said: "Jianqiu, there are more profitable businesses in our village now, and you are also an old person, be down-to-earth, make some money, clean yourself up, and tell you that it is okay to be a widow." ”

He, the eldest brother, is also heartbroken, but Cao Jianqiu didn't accept this love, and he didn't speak, just thinking about how to go next, when he suddenly heard the eldest brother say: "Let's go, go home and eat, your sister-in-law stewed chicken and pork ribs, and fish, to sweep away the bad luck for you." ”

Thinking of his sister-in-law, Cao Jianqiu's eyes blinked subconsciously.

I was quite hungry for meat, but I didn't want to go for a while.

"Brother, what's that...... I've got some things to do, so let's go home first. ”

As soon as Cao Jianqiu finished speaking, before he left, his sister-in-law came out of the house with a straight face.

"Where are you going? Cao Jianqiu, let me tell you, if you take your nephew Shubao to steal things again, believe it or not, I will chop your hand with a knife, and then break your nephew's leg with a stick. Yang Chunying, an elderly woman who came out of the house, said.

When Cao Jianqiu heard his sister-in-law say this, he really wanted to vomit blood, why did he have to chop off his hand for stealing, but he only broke his nephew's leg.

You can't do that with your mother, right?

"Come in, eat!" Yang Chunying roared.

Cao Jianqiu was stunned and didn't dare to refute, and obediently followed him to the house for dinner.

In the house, all the prepared dishes were served on the table.

Yang Chunying saw that his son had lost a lot of weight now, and he was also very distressed, but he was more angry, and he was angry: "Shubao, you want to follow your second uncle to make trouble again, do you dare to break your legs." ”

Cao Jianqiu was tired in his heart, and I taught you to learn badly.

Every time he looked up at his sister-in-law, he always felt that his sister-in-law's eyes were shining with fierce light, and that look seemed to be very difficult to chop him with a knife.

After finally finishing this meal, Cao Jianqiu was not willing to stay longer for a moment, so he hurriedly said goodbye and prepared to go back to his home to have a look.

I haven't lived in it for almost two years, how dirty does my house become, and is the yard overgrown with grass?

……

After he left, Yang Chunying and Cao Jianguang looked at their son Cao Shubao.

Yang Chunying glared at her son fiercely and said, "Shubao, if you follow your second uncle to do nonsense again, I will not have your son." ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Chunying slammed the slap on the table, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table jumped with it.

Cao Shubao's frightened eyes kept blinking, he was really afraid that his mother would suddenly go crazy and cut him with a knife.

"Lao Cao, in the future, let Shubao follow you to raise cattle, make fruit trees, and let him do any heavy work, this king and eight lambs will be fooled around again, and he will be driven out directly."

"After two years, the family will save some more money, and his matter will pass, and then find someone to tell him from the countryside." Yang Chunying said.

Don't look at her big grin, but some things are arranged very carefully.

Letting her son follow his father to work, farm and raise cattle is also to reverse the impression that her son is lazy in the hearts of others in Caojiazhuang.

Sometimes 'people are terrible' is not really talking.

It's just that she has such good intentions, and I don't know if her son can understand it.

But Yang Chunying repeatedly warned her son that she couldn't get so close to his second uncle in the future, and if she continued to mess around, something would happen sooner or later.

Cao Jianguang wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

He told his son to stay away from the bastard second uncle.

But Cao Jianguang and Yang Chunying have forgotten one thing, if their son Cao Shubao is not lazy and has the same temperament as his second uncle Cao Jianqiu, their son will not do anything like stealing chickens and dogs.

This is called a wolf traveling thousands of miles to eat meat, and a dog traveling thousands of miles to eat, and the nature is difficult to change!

When Cao Shujie and his family were playing with Adilijiang and them in Changji, Cao Jianqiu, who had just returned to Caojiazhuang after being released from prison, opened the door of his house and went in to see that the yard of his house was clean and tidy, and there was not a single weed in sight.

When I entered the house again, the room was also very clean, and the quilt on the bed was folded and covered with a plastic sheet.

Lifting the plastic sheet, Cao Jianqiu still smelled the smell of sunlight emanating from the quilt.

"Brother......" Cao Jianqiu thought of his brother in an instant.

His sister-in-law would certainly not help him with this.

This made Cao Jianqiu feel bad in his heart.

It turned out that the eldest brother had been taking care of him silently.

Then Cao Jianqiu remembered what happened when their brothers were young, there was something wrong at that time, someone bullied him, and his brother protected him.

He didn't expect that his brother would still be like when he was a child.

It made him feel heavy in his heart.

But he didn't have a good time in the past two years, and after he came home, he just had a full meal of chicken and fish, and Cao Jianqiu wanted to be sleepy at this time.

The little memory that touched the scene when he first entered the house was directly forgotten by him, and the quilt on the bed was spread out, Cao Jianqiu did not take a bath, and fell asleep on the bed.

When he woke up, Cao Jianqiu was woken up by hunger.

He thought about cooking something, but when he was on the edge of the bed and ready to put on his shoes, he remembered that it had taken two years to come back, and the family was so poor that he had nothing to eat.

Go out and buy some, he doesn't have any money.

What a penny is hard to beat a hero!
