"Brother Xu, you are too modest, I am far from you." Cao Shujie is not a disobedient Gong Wei Cao Shuxu.

Cao Shuxu is very capable, otherwise he would not follow Zhang Xiaolong's team to make QQ mailboxes.

He lost because he didn't follow Zhang Xiaolong to continue to develop WeChat.

In other words, he lacked an enterprising spirit at that time.

Cao Shujie has reason to believe that if Cao Shuxu follows the past, he will probably be able to achieve financial freedom without starting his own business now.

But then again, who can say for sure about fate.

Cao Shujie originally wanted Cao Shuxu to stay at his house for dinner, but Cao Shuxu said that he would go to a few relatives' houses today and come to Cao Shujie for a drink another day.

"Brother Xu, don't forget, call me when you're done, I'll be free at any time." Cao Shujie said.

"Okay!" Cao Shuxu is gone.

After he went out after the New Year, he basically didn't come back in the middle.

This time it is rare to come back, and Cao Shuxu also wants to take this opportunity to go around.

Cheng Xiaolin came down from upstairs and saw that her husband was the only one in the living room, and she wondered: "Shujie, where is Brother Xu?" ”

"Let's go first, he has to come back to visit a few doors, and come back when he's done." Cao Shujie said.

"I thought you were going to have two drinks at noon today."

Cheng Xiaolin walked to the sofa and sat down, raised her hand and pounded her leg lightly and heavily.

After Cao Shujie saw it, he walked next to his wife and took over the job.

The two talked about the 'everyone's banquet', and many people in the village came back early.

Cheng Xiaolin took advantage of the warm morning to go out for exercise and walked along the central street of Caojiazhuang.

She found that there were more faces in the village that were rarely seen, and sometimes when she met a familiar one, she would also come forward to say hello.

She understood that those people had just returned from outside, and some of them had come back specifically to attend the 'Everyone's Banquet', but some of them had taken this opportunity to come back and did not plan to go out.

Now there are 1,396 people in Caojiazhuang, more than 900 people are at home all the year round, and there are more than 400 people who are still working hard outside for various reasons, or studying in other places.

Even if those students are removed, the remaining part of the people can't see the signs of development outside, and after listening to the development of their hometown on the phone, these last few 'diehards' also have the idea of going home to develop.

Cheng Xiaolin told her husband what she saw and heard when she went out for a walk: "Shujie, I think there will be fewer people in our village who will go out next year." ”

Cao Shujie nodded, he believed this.

Just as he was thinking about having an in-depth conversation with his wife about this issue, his mother, Wang Yuelan, came in from outside, carrying a red plastic bag in her hand.

Seeing that her son had returned, she also beckoned to her son: "Shujie, come here." ”

"Mom, what are you mentioning?" Cao Shuming went to help.

Wang Yuelan pointed to the red plastic bag and said that it was mutton given by Cao Jiankun, who raised sheep in the south.

"Their family killed two sheep and sold mutton, and I happened to go from that side, so I had to give me this pocket, not repay."

Wang Yuelan said: "I'll just give him 100 yuan, who knows that your Uncle Kun will cut me an extra 2 catties of meat." ”

"He's losing money today anyway."

Cao Shujie took the plastic bag from his mother's hand and said, "I'll wash it, grind it into meat filling later, and eat mutton dumplings tonight." ”

"Linlin can eat it too, right?" Wang Yuelan looked at her daughter-in-law for the first time.

When she saw Cheng Xiaolin nodding, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm worried that Linlin will smell the smell of mutton and feel sick to her stomach, so it's okay." ”

"Mom, my morning sickness has long passed, you can eat anything." Cheng Xiaolin was very touched by her mother-in-law's careful care.

After mixing the mutton filling, before he started to wrap it, Wang Yuelan gave his son: "Shujie, you go and ask your uncle to come over and eat dumplings." ”

"Okay!" Cao Shujie came out of the house, drove south, came to the door of the uncle's house, stopped the car, and knocked on the door.

"Uncle, are you at home?"

Cao Jianlin heard the voice and came out to open the door for him: "Shujie, why are you here?" ”

"Uncle, there are mutton dumplings wrapped at home, you can go over and eat some together." Cao Shujie made his intentions clear.

Seeing that the uncle wanted to refuse, Cao Shujie couldn't help but say, and pulled him to the car.

"The door hasn't closed yet."

"Uncle, I'll close the door for you." Cao Shujie went to close the door again, locked the three-ring lock, and drove his uncle to the north.

It's only 2 kilometers back and forth, and Cao Jianlin also said that he just needs to give him a call.

"Uncle, I'll call, you don't have to go." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Jianlin smiled, his nephew was right, if there was nothing to do, Cao Jianlin didn't want to go to his nephew's place for dinner.

When he was about to get home, Cao Jianlin told his nephew that when the village held a banquet, his two brothers would come back from Anyi City.

"That's good."

In the evening, Cao Shujie took out the fruit wine, poured it for his grandfather, uncle and father, and drank and chatted.

Cao Jianlin was very emotional.

Thinking of coming back from Anyi City at the beginning of the year, building a house in my hometown, decorating, and moving in, this year has slipped away silently.

But if he is given another chance to choose, Cao Jianlin will still choose to come back from Anyi City.

He understood why he insisted on going back to Caojiazhuang.

It's too lonely in Anyi City.

Both sons have their own families, children to educate and careers to keep busy.

He thought about living with his two sons, for two months, half a year, or a year, back and forth.

But it's easy to say, really moved in, it was okay at first, a little longer, the habits of the three generations are different, and he is very unaccustomed to it.

In the end, it is better to go back to my hometown to live, and I can often accompany my old father.

Besides, these people in his hometown are all people he has known since he was a child, even if he has been out for decades, he can still talk when he comes back.

There was nothing to do, a few people gathered together, talking, chatting, playing chess, and killing time.

Otherwise, he fried two dishes at home, drank a cup of liquor, watched TV and listened to Peking Opera, no one nagged him, and his life was not comfortable.

Now, on the other hand, the two sons come back once in a while to get together together, and he feels that this is much better than in the past.

……

In the days leading up to the end of the month, Cao Shujie had been going back and forth between Caojiazhuang and Qingshi Town, and other than that, he hadn't gone any further.

In the past few days, more people have come back from outside the village.

Cao Jianlong and Gao Changyin also began to arrange people to purchase various different ingredients, preparing to make them a little more sumptuous.

During this period, Cao Shujie told Wang Leigang that on New Year's Day, the farmhouse was requisitioned, and Wang Leigang did not say a word to refute it, just let Cao Shujie look at the arrangement.

also said that the chef of the farmhouse restaurant arranged at will, and all of them listened to Cao Shujie's call. (End of chapter)
