The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes at him.

"Go to sleep!" she said.

Cao Shujie really wanted to sleep, as he had drunk quite a bit of liquor tonight.

Before he knew it, Cao Shujie fell asleep.

A night had passed, and when Cao Shujie got up the next morning, he saw his mother cooking in the kitchen when he came downstairs. Tong Jiayi also got up and was chatting with his mother.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming over, Tong Jiayi subconsciously called out "boss".

But just after he finished calling out, Wang Yuelan, who was cooking, said, "Xiao Tong, why call me boss? This is at home, not in the company. Just call him brother."

"..."

Tong Jiayi was a little uncomfortable, and Wang Yuelan said, "Listen to me. If your brother dares to cause trouble for you, I'll take care of him."

Cao Shujie: "..."

He was also speechless, thinking, "I just came downstairs and didn't say a word. Who did I offend? I'm going to take care of me just after we met."

This life is unbearable.

"Mom, I'm going out to walk the dog. I'll be back in a while. You guys can eat first." After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he said hello to Tong Jiayi and took his four dogs out.

Daha and Erha have been with him for exactly 7 years, which is equivalent to about 40 years old for humans. According to the normal growth cycle, they will basically be equivalent to humans entering old age in another year.

Dahei and Xiaohei are also almost 7 years old, but compared with Daha and the other two, they look stronger.

Looking at the four brothers, Cao Shujie felt a little sad. He always felt that time passed too quickly, and everything seemed to be when he just came back from Beijing.

Arriving at the dam, Cao Shujie untied the dog leashes for the four brothers and let them run by themselves.

Watching them stretch their strong bodies and rhythmic muscles while running in the sun, Cao Shujie was happy for them.

As for what the future will be like, Cao Shujie didn't think about it. When he was able, he tried to make them eat better, give them timely nutrition, and let the four brothers live longer.

Over time, Cao Shujie gradually got used to their barking and howling when he came home or went out.

Not long after, Dahei came back and circled around Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie waved at it, and Dahei rubbed Cao Shujie's body and sat down. One man and one dog leaned against each other, looking particularly harmonious under the rising sun.

"Dahei, are you getting old too?" Cao Shujie asked it.

Dahei: "Woof!"

Cao Shujie seemed to understand what it said, and then said: "Dahei, do you regret following me for these years?"

"Woof, woof woof."

"No regrets, right? Good job, I knew you had good vision." Cao Shujie chatted with it.

After a while, Xiaohei, Daha, and Erha also came back.

Sitting around Cao Shujie, guarding Cao Shujie in the middle.

At this time, Cao Shujie was immersed in chatting with the four dogs. Time passed quickly without him noticing, and he also forgot about going home for dinner.

It was Tong Jiayi who came up and called him.

"Boss." When he saw Cao Shujie, Tong Jiayi subconsciously called him boss again.

But just after he finished calling, Cao Shujie took the initiative to interrupt him this time: "Why call me boss? Didn't my mom just say that when I'm not in the company in the future, I can just call you brother."

Tong Jiayi was a little excited when he heard Cao Shujie say this. This was recognized.

Cao Shujie pointed to the side and said to Tong Jiayi: "Sit down, let's chat for a while."

"Hey!" Hearing Cao Shujie say this, Tong Jiayi hurriedly sat down.

Tong Jiayi was still thinking about what to say. He was immersed in the joy of being recognized by Cao Shujie, but he heard Cao Shujie ask him: "Jiayi, have you thought about getting married?"

"Brother... I have thought about it. Don't worry, I will treat Fangfang well." Tong Jiayi habitually called him boss, but he stopped abruptly as soon as he opened his mouth. He said: "I will definitely treat her well."

Cao Shujie turned his head and looked at him for more than ten seconds, which made Tong Jiayi's scalp numb. The atmosphere seemed particularly tense.

At this time, Cao Shujie inevitably thought of his sister's unfortunate marriage in the previous life, but he didn't help at that time, and he always felt very sorry.

After a while, even Tong Jiayi felt that the atmosphere was too depressing. When he was about to say something to break this dull atmosphere, Cao Shujie asked him: "You will treat Fangfang well, right?"

"Yes!" Tong Jiayi said firmly.

Cao Shujie stroked Dahei's hair with one hand and said softly, "Jiayi, I only have one sister. When we were young, we also fought, but... I was the only one who beat her."

"After you get married, you are not allowed to beat her, understand?" Cao Shujie seemed a little overbearing.

Tong Jiayi nodded repeatedly, promising that he would never do it.

Cao Shujie did not look at him at this moment, his eyes were always looking east, over there was the rolling Yellow River.

From the dam, you can see the Yellow River water rolling like yellow mud soup. He said, "I am not trying to scare you. You know that I am a ruthless person who even scares myself. If I hear any bad news, I really can't guarantee what I will do."

Tong Jiayi raised his hand and wiped his smooth forehead. He thought to himself, after all, you are still giving me an "ultimatum".

But he also understood what Cao Shujie meant, and he could feel that Cao Shujie was not joking at this moment.

But Tong Jiayi did not blame him for his thoughts.

He thought it was normal.

Cao Shujie's cell phone rang. It was his mother calling. After answering the call, Cao Shujie heard his mother's voice coming from the phone: "Shujie, Jiayi has come to find you, why haven't you two come back yet?"

"Mom, let's chat on the dam for a while, and then we'll go home." Cao Shujie said to her.

Wang Yuelan urged them again: "Come back for dinner, and talk after dinner if there's anything."

"Okay!" Cao Shujie agreed.

Putting away the phone, Cao Shujie tied the four dogs with leashes, and then said to Tong Jiayi: "Let's go, go back and eat first."

The two stood up and walked home.

Soon they came to the bottom of the dam, and Cao Shujie suddenly said: "Jiayi, ask your parents when they have time to come to Caojiazhuang to play."

"Also, do you see if you need anything for your wedding? If you need anything, tell me, and I'll prepare it for you." Cao Shujie said.

"No, I have everything." Tong Jiayi said.

"Since you call me brother, don't be too polite to me. We are getting married. Just this once, even if I wrong you, I can't wrong my sister." Cao Shujie said.

He was very unrighteous, and even his specious words made people laugh and cry, but Tong Jiayi could understand what he meant.

Tong Jiayi nodded, but he didn't say anything else.

...

After the Lantern Festival, everything returned to normal.

Cao Shujie went to the company more often than before.

After March, the issue of import and export trade became more and more tense. Various bad news came from the other side of the ocean. Old Te was a piece of shit. At this time, ordinary people smelled the smell of gunpowder.

Many factories began to suffer, and the most miserable were the ordinary workers who went to work.

From the news from all over the country, it can be seen that the situation is not very good, but it can be barely accepted.

However, the situation in Xuemeng Food Factory is much better, and there is no discordant situation now.

However, as the income of people in other regions decreases or their income becomes unstable, their willingness to buy snacks also decreases, which can be clearly seen from the shipment volume.

Cao Shuju compared the shipment volume from the time she started working after the Spring Festival to March with that before the Spring Festival, and also compared it with the shipment data of the same period in previous years, and finally compiled it into a report and gave it to Cao Shujie. The data comparison in the report is very detailed, and it is obvious from the data that the shipment volume before and after the Spring Festival this year has dropped a lot year-on-year.

After reading it, Cao Shujie did not say anything else, but asked Cao Shuju to continue tracking the shipment data.

At the same time, Cao Shujie called Guan Boyong over and asked him to pay attention to market trends.

Guan Boyong told Cao Shujie about the planned orders at the beginning of the year. In his words, there are indeed signs of a decrease in business volume in the past few days, but it is still acceptable.

In addition, the Spring Festival has just passed, and a lot of good things have been eaten during the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, relatives and friends have been visited, and all the gifts that should be given have been given. It is normal for people not to buy snacks at this time.

Cao Shujie nodded and asked him to continue to pay attention to this information.

…

Except for the managers of various departments, ordinary employees in Xuemeng Food Factory did not realize the changes in the market.

On the warehouse delivery side, a few employees felt it, but they thought that there were not many shipments before and after the Spring Festival in previous years, so they did not care.

The production volume did not decrease, and the market procurement side continued to purchase raw materials in large quantities.

After returning from the factory, Cao Shujie seemed to be fine, and he did not tell his family about the abnormal market.

Instead, the people of Caojiazhuang began to prepare, thinking that Mengmeng Orchard and Children's Theme Park would open in more than 10 days.

Many people who planned to set up stalls or set up stalls at the foot of the mountain began to purchase goods.

Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and others came to Cao Shujie specifically to talk to him about this matter.

Cao Shujie did not say much, and told them that the park would open on March 15th, just like in previous years.

After getting a definite answer, Cao Jianlong and Liu Guoqiang were happy to prepare for a drink, and asked Cao Shujie if he had time to go for a drink together.

"I'm busy. My sister is getting engaged soon. You guys go first." Cao Shujie told them.

The two of them didn't want to drink when they heard it, but asked when the wedding would be held.

Cao Huifang had almost no influence in Caojiazhuang, but her brother Cao Shujie was a man of great influence here.

As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. They were still thinking about coming over to give gifts when the time came.

Cao Shujie knew what they were thinking, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's make it clear first. When my sister gets married, you can come over to drink. If anyone gives money as a gift, don't blame me for kicking him out."

"Secretary Cao, these are all the intentions of the villagers. I can't control this." Cao Jianlong said.

"Okay, I won't hold it at home, and I won't invite you when the time comes." Cao Shujie thought to himself that he couldn't control you.

He really didn't have the intention to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, and Cao Shujie didn't lack this little money. He mainly wanted to get together and have fun.

Cao Jianlong and the others also knew Cao Shujie's idea, and finally said to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, we won't give you the money. As an elder, I can buy something for Fangfang, right?"

"Let me make it clear first, you can't buy anything too expensive." Cao Shujie said.

"I will reimburse you for anything over 1,000 yuan." Cao Shujie said.

If this threshold is not set, Cao Shujie dare not think about what tricks they will play.

Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and others did not say anything more.

1,000 yuan as a gift is not a small amount for most people, but it is not much for Cao Jianlong and his family. In addition, Cao Shujie has helped them to become rich over the years. The agricultural planting cooperative and Zhongcheng breeding cooperative give dividends to every household in the village every year, and even the smallest one has hundreds of thousands of yuan. If he doesn't block the hole at this time, Cao Shujie can't imagine how enthusiastic the people will be!

"Uncle Long, Uncle Qiang, come to my house and sit for a while." Cao Shujie invited them.

The two followed Cao Shujie and walked towards home together.

…

On the other side, Tong Jiayi called his parents and asked them to come over to meet Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo, the old couple, and the parents of both sides sat down to chat and discuss the date of engagement.

On the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, he unexpectedly talked very well with Cao Shujie. Hearing Cao Shujie ask him to call him brother, Tong Jiayi felt for the first time that he was recognized by Cao Shujie in the matter of his marriage with Cao Huifang. When he called Cao Shujie "brother", he was not so restrained.

At this time, Tong Jiayi must want to strike while the iron is hot and quickly settle his marriage with Cao Huifang. It would be better if they could get married this year.

After all, he is 31 years old this year, and Cao Huifang is 28 years old this year. They are not young.

Moreover, this is the first time Tong Jiayi has been in love for so many years, and it is also the first time he has a strong urge to get married.

Although his wealth is not as good as Cao Shujie, he can also make money. In these aspects, Tong Jiayi does not think he is much worse than anyone else.

He also has enough confidence to live a good life after marriage.

After his parents asked someone to pick a date, Tong Jiayi conveyed the date to Cao Huifang and went to Cao Shujie's office in person to tell him in person.

Cao Shujie didn't care much about this. He told Tong Jiayi that it was fine as long as it was set.

The 23rd day of the first lunar month, March 10, 2018, this is the date Tong Jiayi told Cao Shujie, and it is also the day Tong Jiayi's parents went to see.

Cao Shujie calculated that there were only 5 days left until that day, so he was a little nervous. However, meeting did not mean getting engaged directly, and he felt that there was enough time to prepare.

Cao Shujie considered the place to eat, and decided to put it at the Fuxing Hotel in the town. In addition to his family, there was also his uncle Cao Jianlin.

In addition, considering that the other party would definitely not only come with his parents, but also perhaps relatives from his family, Cao Shujie told Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao and others to come and help accompany the wine.

As for his eldest and second brothers who were far away in Anyi City, Cao Shujie did not say anything for the time being. He thought it would not be too late to say it when his sister got married.

In the past few days, Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo, the old couple, have been busy packing things, and they are also preparing to meet their in-laws.

Cao Huifang has not been making videos these days, and she has returned from Yiling City.

At this time, her love and marriage with Tong Jiayi are more like a natural outcome, without too much romance. The two people have the same values ​​and have a good impression of each other, so this thing is done.

A few days passed in a flash, and on the morning of March 10, Cao Shujie drove to his uncle's place and picked him up.

His father Cao Jianguo had already told his eldest brother in advance about meeting Tong Jiayi's parents today.

In the car, Cao Jianlin asked his nephew if the man's parents had come.

"Jiayi just told me that his parents are on the way and will be here in about an hour." Cao Shujie told his uncle.

The other party came from Hejian and arrived before 9 o'clock, which also shows that the other party is really attentive and set off at about 4 o'clock in the morning.

In this regard, Cao Shujie didn't say anything else. Everyone is mutual, and it doesn't make sense to be strict.

After Cao Shujie picked up his uncle, Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao also came.

Cao Shujie's home was decorated very festively.

Cao Huifang was a little embarrassed to see people at this time.

Cheng Xiaolin was busy all the time, and she also chatted with her sister-in-law for a while, telling her that Tong Jiayi and his family would be here soon.

It seems that every girl hopes to fall in love and get married, and they all want to find someone with the same values. Cao Huifang feels that she is lucky.

This luck is not simply because she met Tong Jiayi, but more because her elder brother created various conditions for her, and her sister-in-law taught her many skills to make a living.

If it weren't for the help of her elder brother and sister-in-law, Cao Huifang felt that she might still be the ordinary person she was before, and there would be no changes in values, personal values, and vision. She might find a company to work after graduation, and she would not drive to Shenzhen alone like she did at that time.

Without the confidence given by her brother, how could she dare to have that courage.

And with her previous ideas and values, even if she met Tong Jiayi, she felt that there would be no resonance between the two, and they would not be able to talk together.

Even later, if she had not learned video editing from her sister-in-law, learned how to make short videos that could attract more people, and realized traffic monetization through the Internet, she would have found it hard to imagine that she would have the same ideas as a person with an annual salary of one million yuan in terms of money, consumption and vision if she had not earned tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan a month.

In the end, it was all thanks to her elder brother and sister-in-law.

At this time, Cao Huifang was very grateful to her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Just as she was thinking of saying thank you to her sister-in-law, a whistle suddenly sounded outside the door.

As if she realized what was going on, Cheng Xiaolin said to her, "I think Jiayi and his friends are coming. I'll go out to greet them first. You sit here for a while."

Cao Huifang responded and pricked up her ears to listen to the noise coming from outside. She was also looking forward to it. (End of this chapter)
