At around 8 o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a GL8 from Anyi City finally stopped in front of Cao Shujie's house.

The car door opened, Cao Yixin and Cao Yichuan and their cousins jumped out of the car first, and were about to run towards home, when Zhang Yi, who came down, called out to the two brothers: "Take something, you brothers are not too young, why are you embarrassed to go in empty-handed?" ”

"Mom!" Cao Yichuan stopped, didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly helped get things.

He is 14 years old, but he looks taller than his mother Zhang Yi.

Cao Yixin is 12 years old this year, and after he shouted 'Auntie', he obediently followed his cousin to move things.

Cao Jianlin got down from the co-pilot, moved his legs, and prepared to move things.

Cao Shuxin, who came down, hurriedly stopped his father: "Dad, you go to the house to rest for a while." ”

"Why can't I move?" Cao Jianlin was anxious, is this looking down on him as an old man?

Cao Shuxin explained: "Dad, I didn't say that you can't move, there are not so many main things, a few of us will finish moving, can you rest for a while?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from the house: "Who? Who's out there? ”

After a while, Cao Huifang came out of the house and saw Cao Yixin and Cao Yichuan each holding a box standing at the door, next to the uncle Cao Jianlin, Cao Huifang shouted happily: "Uncle! ”

"Yixin, Yichuan, you are also here, call your aunt."

"Brother, our uncle is here, and there are big brothers and second brothers." Cao Huifang turned her head and shouted loudly into the house.

She looked very busy, and then went to help with her things.

Cao Huifang is busy at this time.

"Sister-in-law!"

Before she finished saying hello, Cao Shujie and his wife came out of the house together, and Mengmeng ran behind her.

"Uncle, you're here so soon, I thought you had to arrive at noon, just finished breakfast, eat something to cushion your stomach first." Cao Shujie said busily.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan also came out of the house.

After the fireworks last night, they came back for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and when they finished watching the Spring Festival Gala, it was already very late, and the two elders did not go back.

Seeing the eldest brother's family coming, they were also busy.

A few minutes later, Cao Jianlin, Cao Shuxin and Cao Shubin sat down one after another.

After chatting, I found out that they rushed here from Anyi City at 5 o'clock in the morning.

It happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there were almost no cars on the highway, so it was smooth all the way.

"If I come here tomorrow, I guess the highway will be full of traffic." Cao Shuxin said.

Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, the traditional day to go back to my parents' home, the highway must be crowded with cars, a little careless, it is likely to cause a car accident.

Cheng Xiaolin and Cao Huifang went to make breakfast first, but they didn't make enough in the morning, so Cheng Xiaolin made another pot of egg soup.

Coupled with the freshly fried and cooked New Year's goods, at this time, I am really not afraid of not eating, but afraid of the greasy taste of eating.

Meng Meng saw so many people, she was happier than anyone else.

I also have to perform ancient poems for the uncle, and look at her ability.

After reciting it, the mouth was gurgling, and the speed was raised, but the words became more and more unclear.

Except for Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin, others couldn't understand what she was carrying at all.

But everyone still applauded Meng Meng.

And when Mengmeng saw everyone applauding her, she performed more and more hard.

Waiting for Cheng Xiaolin to put the finished egg soup in a bowl and bring it out, everyone ate breakfast together.

Before I finished eating, the New Year's greeters came.

Cao Zhenghu is not the oldest in Caojiazhuang, but he is the oldest handful, and there are countless descendants in Caojiazhuang who come to him to pay New Year's greetings.

In addition, Cao Shujie is the village director of Caojiazhuang, and there are more people who come to pay New Year's greetings.

Even in the two places of Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village, there are people who have made a special trip to visit the New Year.

Among these people, some of them knew Cao Jianlin, Cao Shubin, Cao Shuxin's father and son, and when they saw that they were also here, they all greeted them one after another, and the family was very lively for a while.

Cao Shujie was busy receiving people, and suddenly felt the mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrate.

He took it out and saw that it was a message from the small QQ group, and Cao Zhen sent a message, telling them that he would come back this afternoon and invite Cao Shujie and them to his house together in the evening.

"Are you free?" A message from Cao Tiemin.

Cao Zhen said that he would not be open on the evening of the third day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so that he would have time to rest.

Cao Shujie originally thought that his uncle's family had just come back today, and he might not be able to go over in the evening, but when he heard Cao Zhen say this, Cao Shujie thought for a while and decided to go anyway.

Cao Zhen doesn't have much time to rest.

"I'll bring wine over in the evening." Cao Shujie replied and didn't say anything more.

With the beginning of the first wave of people coming to pay New Year's greetings, people came to pay New Year's greetings one after another.

Most of them came to pay New Year's greetings to Cao Zhenghu, but a small number came specifically to pay New Year's greetings to Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie could bear it at first, but when some older people came to pay him New Year's greetings, Cao Shujie felt unbearable.

Tell the eldest brother and the second brother, and the brothers will discuss it, so let's just take the three children out to pay New Year's greetings together.

For the brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin, they have not been at home for the New Year for a long time, and during the Chinese New Year, there is almost no opportunity to pay New Year's greetings to the older generation in the village.

When they came back this time, they thought that if they didn't come back for a long time, they might be a little unfamiliar with the older generation in the village, but in fact, these old people were very cordial when they met Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin, their brothers.

In addition to not seeing each other for a long time, it was a little difficult to recognize them at first, but after recognizing, many old people asked them with concern how they were doing outside.

Knowing that the brothers were doing well outside, the old men were happy for them.

He also told them that Caojiazhuang is different from the past, and the living conditions are much better than before, saying that Caojiazhuang is also their root no matter what they say, so that their brothers will often come back to see it in the future.

Cao Shujie has a deep understanding of these words, as for what his eldest brother and second brother think in their hearts, Cao Shujie is not clear, but he did not join the ranks of persuasion.

After staying in the capital for so many years in his previous life, Cao Shujie knew in his heart that the longer their generation stayed outside, the less likely it was to come back.

It's not just the income from work, it's also about children going to school......

Cao Shujie turned his head to look at his two nephews, perhaps for the two of them, Anyi City was their home.

Who can say for sure?

Cao Shujie and the three brothers took Meng Meng and the others all the way from the north to the south, and after turning around, they came to the dilapidated old house.

Cao Shubin pointed to the wall and said: "Time flies so fast, it has been more than 30 years since I left in a blink of an eye. ”

He is 41 years old this year, and he has really moved from youth to middle age, and his mentality is very different from before.

The second brother Cao Shuxin is also 40 years old.

"Brother, do you remember? When we were young, no one cared about us, so we played hide and seek around the house. ”

"I remember that the wall was full of corn stalks, and I used to dig inside and wait for you to find them, but unfortunately they are all now."

"At that time, I didn't have money to buy clothes, but my aunt bought them, and sometimes I changed my uncle's clothes to a smaller size for the two of us to wear." Cao Shuxin said with some sadness.

This is because the parents divorced the two of them when they were young, thus leaving some indelible bad impressions on them.

To this day, I still feel very hurt in the depths of their hearts.

Cao Shujie didn't know about these things, and he had never heard his parents talk about them.

He didn't even know why the uncle and the eldest mother divorced at that time, so that they still don't get along with each other.

At this time, Cao Shujie was very open-minded, and he didn't ask about those old things anymore, so as not to expose people's scars again and increase his troubles.

"Shujie, your uncle will come back after the New Year, and when he is built here, the house over there will be sold, and your uncle will want to live at home in the future." Big brother Cao Shubin said so.

When Cao Shujie heard the news, he was indeed a little caught off guard.

The second brother Cao Shuxin said: "Your uncle thinks it's better to be at home, since he is willing, then come back, anyway, he also has a retirement salary, and four acres of land, I heard that the orchard is planted, right, then the income in two years should not be wrong, and it should be enough for him to spend alone." ”

"Your brother and I bought him insurance, hospitalization or something, most of them can be reimbursed, and there is no big problem at home."

Cao Shujie didn't say anything else after listening to it, and told the eldest brother and second brother the information about building a house after the village committee.

After hearing this, Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin and their brothers did not object at all: "Shujie, since your uncle wants to go back to the village, just follow the rules of the village, you don't need to talk about special cases, I think it's good to change to a unified template, which is more conducive to the development of the village." ”

When the three brothers returned home with Cao Yichuan, Cao Yixin and Mengmeng, his wife and two sisters-in-law had already started preparing lunch at home.

It looked very hearty, and Cao Shujie took out his home-brewed kiwi fruit wine and apple cider vinegar.

I didn't forget to move out of the house Moutai, Wuliangye and Fenjiu.

You can drink whatever you want at noon, and Cao Shujie has always recommended his kiwi fruit wine.

There is no way, there is a scene at noon and at night, and the fruit wine is at least small.

During the meal, Cao Shujie also told the uncle that he had something to do at night and wanted to go out for a while.

Cao Jianlin kept asking him to go about his own business.

"Shujie, you don't have to worry about us." The eldest brother Cao Shubin also said the same.

On the contrary, his father Cao Jianguo was a little curious and asked him what he was doing at night?

"Dad, Cao Zhen is back today, we haven't been together for a long time, let's get together in the evening."

Cao Jianguo didn't say anything else.

In the evening, Cao Shujie came to Cao Zhen's house with kiwi fruit wine and apple cider vinegar, and at this time, Cao Zhen and his family of three had already returned and were preparing dishes for the evening dinner.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming in with wine, Cao Zhen was not polite at all, and took the wine over: "Let's drink this tonight." ”

"I don't care." Cao Shujie also said.

He would love to drink this.

The eldest brother and the second brother will stay at home for a day tomorrow, preparing to go back to the third year of junior high school.

The uncle lived at home for a longer period of time, and after the Spring Festival, he discussed the matter of building a house.

Cao Shujie discussed with his wife, they didn't go to Chengjiapo in the second year of junior high school, and then went back in the third year of junior high school.

Cheng Xiaolin agreed very happily, and called her mother Li Xiaojuan in front of Cao Shujie to say hello.

Because of this, it really doesn't matter what Cao Shujie drinks tonight.

What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that Cao Shuxu, the cousin of Cao Zhenghe's grandfather's family, also came.

This time there are 7 people, and the evening is even more lively.

Cao Shuxu has always said that in the year and a half that Cao Shujie has been the village director at home, he has not dared to admit the changes that have taken place in his hometown.

But it is clear that Cao Shuxu has no intention of coming back.

With the popularity of smart phones, the number of mobile phones is getting higher and higher, and people's demand for data cables is increasing, and the quality is getting higher and higher.

"Shujie, do you want to invest?" Cao Shuxu asked Cao Shujie very seriously.

The attitude of this question made Cao Shujie stunned for a moment.

Confirming that Cao Shuxu was not joking, Cao Shujie asked what was going on on their side.

"Shujie, you may not know very well, according to authoritative official statistics, the number of smartphones in our country has exceeded 500 million, and it is still growing."

"Because of the growth of this data, people's demand for data cables has increased greatly, and the requirements for functional data cables are getting higher and higher, and my friends and I are doing this now." He told Cao Shujie about the difference between the data cable they made and the ordinary data line.

Cao Shujie understood as soon as he heard it, limited to the growing more and more of this piece, and they were also determined to continue to invest in expanding production.

Good night!
