"Uncle Long, look at how good these children are, they are very clever when they look at them, and the future of our Caojiazhuang depends on them." Cao Shujie looked at the group of children running into the distance, and couldn't help but think of when he was young.

Go up the mountain to steal pears and pick apples, go down to the river to fish and catch shrimp, nothing serious is done, and the skin is not good.

At that time, I didn't want to study hard at all, and now I am not very promising.

Cao Jianlong didn't know what Cao Shujie was thinking, he nodded in agreement: "No, there are many children in our village who are going to have children this year, and the people are prosperous and will inevitably be developed." ”

"Let's help them lay a good foundation in this life, just wait for their stubble to grow, and then Caojiazhuang's dragon and phoenix will fly for nine days, just around the corner."

The farther and farther they went, Gao Changyin interrupted them: "Secretary Cao, Director Cao, our Caojiazhuang has taken off now." ”

"Look at what I said, Lao Gao is right." Cao Jianlong no longer mentions this stubble.

He pointed to the front and told a few people to go over there and see if there was anything he could do to help.

The big guys walked there together, and Cao Shujie also saw his mother Wang Yuelan holding a knife and chopping chicken.

saw his father Cao Jianguo chopping ribs not far away, and went down with a knife, crisply and neatly.

There is also a cut pork next to it, a large pot full of pork, which looks a little greasy, but the meat is more stewed and fragrant.

They walked all the way, and people kept greeting each other, shouting Director Cao, Secretary Cao.

There were also those who shouted at Accountant Gao and Director Lu, and they couldn't close their mouths happily.

How could there have been such a grand occasion before?

"Let's hurry up and don't delay lunch." Cao Jianlong shouted.

Cao Shujie still has to go home to pick up his daughter, wife and children, but now there is no hurry, they are waiting when they come over.

He was about to follow here to help, and he took a knife and wanted to kill the fish, but was stopped by the person next to him, saying that he was the leader of the day and was going to do great things, so how could he still kill the fish here and delay time.

Cao Shujie is very helpless, what's the matter?

More and more people came over, and everyone didn't stand stupidly, or sit at the table to eat and drink, and they all helped to deal with the dishes.

Today, the whole village comes to eat, except for those who can't get over for physical reasons, but they will also arrange for someone to deliver hot meals to their doors.

Looking at the happy looks on everyone's faces, Cao Shujie felt that it was really worth it.

The kitchen of the farmhouse is on fire.

Some dishes such as chicken, fish, and pork ribs are fried in advance and put on a steamer.

The rest of the dishes are also cut and set aside, and the complex ones are finished, and they will be stir-fried later.

When Cao Shujie entered the kitchen, he saw that the chefs who originally belonged to the farmhouse restaurant were busy sweating profusely.

He was a little reluctant in his heart: "Masters, you have worked hard today, and I will ask someone to bring you some gifts later." ”

"Director Cao, there's no need." Cao Shutai, who was stir-frying, said.

He and Cao Shujie are people of the same generation, and they are both out of the five-service relationship.

But now in Caojiazhuang, no one mentions this stubble.

Everyone wishes they belonged to the same ancestor.

"Brother Tai, let you take it." Cao Shujie said with a straight face.

If Cao Shutai doesn't take it, what will others do?

Especially those who don't belong to Caojiazhuang, they are even more embarrassed to reach for it.

But others are really helping Caojiazhuang today.

Cao Shujie can distinguish this point.

He finally said: "After the incident, one person will have a red envelope of 300 yuan, and the big guy should not be too little." ”

"Hey, you can't ask for Director Cao's red envelope, we will work, you give things back, and then take your money." The person in charge of the kitchen was called Gao Hongbo and refused on the spot.

But if Cao Shujie said it, it must be done.

Without Gao Hongbo and them refutating, Cao Shujie went out first, and the rest of the people in the kitchen subconsciously showed a smile on their faces.

"hear clearly, Director Cao has been thinking about you, hurry up and work one by one, who dares to be lazy, I will abolish him today." Gao Hongbo shouted loudly.

The people working in the kitchen seem more energetic.

In the orchard on Cao Shujie Mountain, in addition to Zhuang Xuesong, Zhu Shengliang and others.

People from Caojiazhuang such as Cao Shuchao and Cao Jianjun, who was in charge of the farm, also came.

When Cao Shujie walked around the farmhouse restaurant, he saw that they were also helping and working here, using their free time to talk to the people next to them, giggling and laughing, which looked particularly lively.

Cao Shujie also walked over to Cao Shuchao and Cao Jianlong, and said that after the dishes were cooked later, they would also send some food to the people left behind on the mountain.

Cao Shuchao and Cao Jianlong all agreed to come down one by one.

After Cao Shujie left, the people who talked to Cao Shuchao and Cao Jianlong next to them were a little envious and said that they were working in Cao Shujie's place, and they were really happy.

The salary is high, the bonus is high, the salary is paid in time, there are benefits during the New Year's holidays, the key is to work in the orchard and farm, Cao Shujie even bought insurance for them, where is the reason.

The more this is the case, the better it can be compared to Cao Shujie.

……

Walking slowly, Cao Shujie also saw that his 5 young people also came over in advance to help with the work.

Not only these people, including Cao Shujie's former elementary school classmates, there are several people, Cao Shujie looks familiar, but he can't be named.

It wasn't until someone introduced himself that Cao Shujie came back to his senses.

Pointing at the other party, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Ah, it's you." ”

They are usually outside, and the big guys don't see each other often, and they can't even remember their names when they meet.

At this time, it can also be seen that it is imperative for the big guys to gather together to have a meal and chat.

People who grew up in the same age are almost unable to remember their names, and if they meet outside, they are most likely treated as strangers.

Or point to the other person and ask if you are the one?

It's obviously the same village, or people who grew up in the same age, but the relationship seems a little distant.

"Director Cao, let's eat a piece of watermelon first." An old sister-in-law was cutting fruit, and when she saw Cao Shujie coming, she picked up a corner of watermelon from the plate cut next to her and handed it to Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, at this time, even if the outdoor room temperature was below zero, the watermelon was even cooler than the refrigerated one in summer, and Cao Shujie couldn't eat it.

The farmhouse has been expanded twice, and the yard now has a total of 126 tables, all of which are solid wood round tables.

The children can sit down in a wave when they squeeze in.

Besides, at this time, the crowding seems more intimate and lively.

Cao Shujie turned around, and he didn't touch him.

Thinking that his grandfather, wife and children were still waiting at home, Cao Shujie looked up, but didn't see Cao Jianlong, so he simply called him and said that he would go home and pick up someone first.

"Shujie, you can go, but you remember to come back early, you still have to talk later." Cao Jianlong said.

"Okay." Cao Shujie responded, and he was not hypocritical.

This is all set by them in advance, such a happy day, the whole village is here, whether it is him or Cao Jianlong, they have to come to the stage to say two words.

It is also to explain the development direction of Caojiazhuang in the next year or even 5 years to everyone in Caojiazhuang, so that everyone can be prepared in advance.

When Cao Shujie returned home, his uncle and two older brothers were here.

The two sisters-in-law were talking to his wife on the second floor.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming back, Cao Jianlin called him: "Shujie, what are you doing early in the morning?" ”

"Uncle, I just went to the farmhouse to have a look, and I still want to help, but people think I'm stupid, so I don't need it." Cao Shujie said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhenghu laughed: "How is it?" How many people used to be? ”

"Grandpa, there are a lot of people, there are a lot of people working, everyone is busy stir-frying, it's just my business, I'll come back and pick you up first." Cao Shujie said.

As she was talking, Meng Meng ran down from upstairs, and when she saw Cao Shujie, she ran directly to Cao Shujie's side, reached out and grabbed Cao Shujie's arm: "Dad, are you really back?" ”

"Mom told me that I don't believe it yet." Meng Meng looked up at her father with a smile in her eyes.

"What do you want to do?" Cao Shujie asked his daughter.

I always feel that Meng Meng's expression is eighty percent of the time.

"Hehe, I just told my mother that I wanted to buy a toy, and my mother said that he is now pregnant with a baby and has no money and no money, so let me buy it from you." After Mengmeng finished speaking, she looked at her father expectantly, her eyes did not blink, for fear that her father would not agree.

Cao Shujie thought what was the matter, he was too busy to nod his head and agree, and asked him what toys his daughter wanted to buy.

As for his wife's words that she would not make money, Cao Shujie did not believe it.

Just the videos uploaded by his wife on Youku, someone will get money to watch them later, plus advertising fees, and there is a lot of money.

Mengmeng heard that her father promised to buy her toys, and quickly said, "On my mother's mobile phone, I'll go get it." ”

After saying that, Meng Meng turned around and ran upstairs again.

Looking at the cute and cute style, Cao Shuxin and Cao Shubin also laughed.

It didn't take long for Meng Meng to grab her phone in one hand and go down the stairs with the other.

She handed her mobile phone to Cao Shujie: "Dad, look, it's this toy." ”

Cao Shujie took his wife's mobile phone from his daughter's hand, skillfully entered his birthday, and unlocked the password.

He looked at the Taobao page that opened on the screen, which was a toy for stir-frying in the kitchen, as well as a washing basin and faucet, which looked very realistic.

Compared with the toys I bought for Meng Meng before, this toy looks more delicate from the picture, and the material should be better.

Of course, the price is not cheap, more than 500 yuan.

Cao Shujie looked down at the longing look in Mengmeng's eyes again, and didn't say a word: "I'll buy it for you." ”

After finishing speaking, he directly used his wife's mobile phone Taobao to place an order, enter the payment password, and the order was completed.

Then a text message prompted that his wife's bank card of Rural Commercial Bank was missing 532.8 yuan.

Cao Shujie didn't feel distressed at all, deleted the text message, quit Taobao on his mobile phone, and returned the phone to his daughter: "Na, Mengmeng, look, Dad bought it for you, you just wait for a few days to receive it." ”

"Hey, thank you Dad." Meng Meng seemed even happier.

Cao Shujie also told her seriously: "Don't tell your mother, this is our little secret." ”

"Good!" Meng Meng readily agreed.

"Also, you tell your mother and the two aunts, let's go to dinner and let them come down."

"Hmm!" What nodded, received the task.

She still can't understand what it means to be sinister.

happily ran upstairs with her mother's mobile phone and returned the phone to her mother.

was about to tell her mother that her father had bought her toys, but when she thought that her father said that it was a little secret between them, Meng Meng closed her mouth again.

Cheng Xiaolin watched her daughter suddenly become silent, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't see anything wrong.

plus the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, chatting with her next to her, Cheng Xiaolin had no time to be distracted.

She is now pregnant with a second child, and she turned around to urge her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to consider having another one, especially since the eldest of the two families is already old and does not need to be taken care of.

And the economic conditions are better now than before.

Cheng Xiaolin's analysis of the two sisters-in-law is the Tao.

It's just that whether it is Zhang Yi or Ren Jingjing, they have no plans to have a second child.

"Linlin, it's not that you don't know that there is money everywhere outside, and you also need money to go to school, those cram schools are expensive, and those cram schools and interest classes that our boss reported to him are fifty or sixty thousand a year, I still spend less money, if there is another second child, I can't stand it."

"Big brother also makes a lot of money." Cheng Xiaolin said.

But Zhang Yi said: "What about this, you also know that you earn more and spend more, and you have more places to consume, so you can't stop it." ”

"At the beginning of the month, I started thinking about spending less this month, but at the end of the month, your brother's salary was gone, and I don't know where the money went." Zhang Yi had a chagrined expression on his face.

Ren Jingjing is even better, she and her husband are busy with the affairs of Renewable Energy Co., Ltd., and they don't have time to spend when they are busy.

But in their business, gift-giving is a common thing, and Yueguang spends more money on gift-giving.

"Mom, just now Dad said he wanted us to go down to dinner."

"Oh, sister-in-law, let's go." Cheng Xiaolin said to the two sisters-in-law.

Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing came down from the upstairs with her.

Meng Meng followed behind, jumping and jumping, looking particularly cheerful.

Daddy bought her toys, hehe!

came downstairs, met with Cao Shujie and them, and walked to the farmhouse restaurant together.

Cao Shujie considered that his grandfather and his wife still wanted to drive, so he thought about it or forgot it.

It's not a long walk to the past, just a few minutes to the place.

After Cao Zhenghu came over, many people standing at the door greeted him.

Someone else took Cao Zhenghu in and asked him to sit down.

Cheng Xiaolin took Mengmeng's hand and went to other places with her two sisters-in-law.

"Mom, there are a lot of people here like those who are married." Mengmeng followed behind Cheng Xiaolin and said something unintentionally.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded, it is true, it is even more lively than getting married.

When you get married, can you set up more than 100 tables?

Did more than 1,000 people come to congratulate?

Obviously, few can put so much.

Sister-in-law Zhang Yi followed and said: "Mengmeng is right, if there is a marriage today, it will be really happy." ”

The second sister-in-law, Ren Jingjing, also said: "It's true." ”

"It's exciting to think about."

I came to a table and sat down, and there were already a few people sitting at the table.

They are all relatively young, and when they saw Cheng Xiaolin and them coming, they all stood up and called their sister-in-law.

"We don't have outsiders today, just sit down, don't be so polite." Cheng Xiaolin asked them to sit down quickly.

"Huh!" A few people nodded and sat down.

However, these people looked a little restrained after Cheng Xiaolin and the others came over.

It's not as casual as it was just now.

Cheng Xiaolin saw this, she greeted these sisters vigorously, and asked them what they were usually busy with, plus there was a pistachio called Mengmeng, and the atmosphere slowly improved.
