The leisurely life of a reborn dad

In the house, Cao Shujie and Cao Zhenggang were still discussing about building a new house.

Cao Shujie finished all his requests in one breath, and Cao Zhenggang was recording them on the table at this time.

After finishing writing, Cao Zhenggang looked at the record on the paper, thought for a while, and cautiously stretched out two fingers: "Shujie, you can't buy this house for less than 20 yuan. Are you really planning to buy it?" Aren’t you going out to your hometown?”

According to Cao Shujie's request, this is not building a house, but a two-story villa. In addition to the later decoration costs, it's hard to say how much it will cost now.

That is to say, if it were built in Caojiazhuang, if it were built in a slightly wealthier place outside, it would not be able to get this amount.

"Grandpa Zhenggang, didn't I tell you just now? I will develop here in the future. I will only go to the city once at most and not go far away." Cao Shujie was very tolerant.

He pointed to the paper where Cao Zhenggang made records and said: "Just go with this, more than 200,000 will be fine. Grandpa Zhenggang, if a good day comes, we'll start work immediately."

"Okay, you said so, then I'll call someone."

After Cao Zhenggang finished speaking, he stood up: "I'll look at the almanac and choose a good day."

He stood up and went to pick up the almanac, and after a while, he called Cao Shujie: "Shujie, look, March 18th, the fourteenth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, is the best day for demolition, groundbreaking, and construction. How about this day?"

"Okay, I have no objection." Cao Shujie agreed.

Listening to Cao Shujie's cheerful words, Cao Zhenggang was puzzled and asked him: "Shujie, tell grandpa, what do you plan to do here in the future? I have lived in Caojiazhuang for 60 years, and I don't see what kind of business I can do here. Make money?"

Cao Shujie smiled: "Grow some fruits, do some breeding, and do some trade at the same time."

"I don't want to say how much I earn, just don't embarrass my dad until the end of the year." Cao Shujie said.

This sentence made Cao Zhenggang laugh.

"Shujie, you and Grandpa Zhenggang are chatting first, while I hold Mengmeng and go outside for a walk."

Cheng Xiaolin's shout came from outside. It turned out that Mengmeng wanted to compete with the little pug to see who was stronger.

How could this happen? She was really afraid of her daughter.

When he heard that his wife and daughter were leaving, Cao Shujie said all he needed to say, so he said to Cao Zhenggang: "Grandpa Zhenggang, you are busy first. The children can't stay here. I will take them to see other places."

"Oh, I was thinking of letting you have dinner at my place at noon," Cao Zhenggang said.

This is the truth!

The folks in the countryside are very enthusiastic, and he will soon take over Cao Shujie's job. Earning tens of thousands of yuan will not be a problem, and eating a meal will be a normal thing.

"Grandpa Zhenggang, I won't eat today. I'll treat you another day." Cao Shujie said and started to walk out.

Cao Zhenggang brought up the eggs they brought over and asked Cao Shujie to take them back, but Cao Shujie stopped him: "I didn't come back a few times a year, and I didn't have time to come and see you. Don't blame me. This egg, you Just eat it with my grandma."

"You kid, you can't do this in the future." Cao Zhenggang said to him.

When Cao Zhenggang came out of the house, he saw the little guy Mengmeng holding her mother's hand and refusing to leave.

She squatted on the ground, ready to roll around, and shouted: "Mom, flowers."

"Small dog."

Cao Zhenggang and Cao Shujie were both stunned. What is going on?

"Honey, what's wrong with Mengmeng?"

"What else is going on? She just wanted to fight with the puppy and pick apricot flowers from the tree. Shujie, why do you think she is so busy?" Cheng Xiaolin couldn't complain anymore.

When Cao Zhenggang heard what Cheng Xiaolin said, he smiled happily: "Mengmeng, this won't work. In a few months, I can come to grandpa's house to eat apricots, okay?"

"Is there anything to eat?" Mengmeng weighed it in her head and said honestly: "Okay!"

"Haha!" Cao Zhenggang laughed even more heartily: "Mengmeng is so good."

Back home, Cao Shujie told his wife and mother that he and Cao Zhenggang had agreed to demolish the house and rebuild it.

Mother Wang Yuelan thought for a while and then asked: "Shujie, have you really decided to stay at home? Why don't you go to the city to see if you can find a suitable job and buy a house..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Shujie interrupted his mother with a wave of his hand: "Mom, if you earn a salary of several thousand yuan in the city, which is tens of thousands a year, you might as well rent a few more acres of land at home and grow some fruits. Just came out.”

Wang Yuelan rolled her eyes when she heard her son's relaxed words: "Shujie, you think it's so simple. Your father and I have been busy for so many years, but we haven't made much money yet."

"Mom, aren't you talking nonsense? I've finished college, my sister is in college now, and you gave me a down payment of 100,000 when I bought a house in the capital!"

Cao Shujie said seriously: "Mom, don't always think that how much money you can earn outside will definitely mean you earn less at home than outside. That's not the case at all."

"Then your dad and I paid for your college education so that you could come back and plant an orchard?" Wang Yuelan said.

Cao Shujie didn't think much about it. He said with a smile: "Mom, why have you forgotten what university I went to? Agricultural University. I majored in agriculture and animal husbandry. When I came back, planting was my professional counterpart."

"Nonsense." Cheng Xiaolin laughed and scolded him.

However, her husband did study subjects related to agricultural scientific research, and the job he was engaged in in the capital was also agricultural scientific research corresponding to this major. He was not lying about this.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mengmeng, who was playing next to her, also said, "Say eight tricks."

Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes at her daughter: "Look at how stupid you are, you can't even speak clearly."

"You're stupid!"

Wang Yuelan immediately understood what her granddaughter meant, and she burst out laughing.

But when she thought about the words she heard from her neighbors when she was chatting with them this morning, she felt uncomfortable.

"Shujie, I met your Aunt Shuying this morning. She told others there that you couldn't survive outside, so she came home to plant an orchard."

Cao Shujie couldn't remember who Aunt Shuying was for a while. When his mother mentioned the name Cao Jianhai, Cao Shujie remembered that he had chatted with Cao Jianhai for a while on the way to the old house in the morning.

He told his mother Wang Yuelan about this matter.

After hearing this, my mother muttered: "Your Aunt Shuying is a talkative. She can't put anything into her mouth."

Cheng Xiaolin advised her mother-in-law: "Mom, just don't talk to her. Let Shujie earn hundreds of thousands next year, which is more than those who work outside. Then you can see who else is talking nonsense in the village!" "

"Hey, it's still hundreds of thousands. It would be good to earn tens of thousands." Wang Yuelan said this, but the smile on her face already reflected her mood.

She stood up: "Okay, you can do whatever you like, I don't care."

She stretched out her hand towards her granddaughter: "Mengmeng, why don't you go out to play with grandma?"

"Okay, let's play grandma!" As soon as Mengmeng heard that she was going out to play, she immediately followed her grandma.

Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were the only two people left at home. Cheng Xiaolin even shouted: "Shujie, you said we are all neighbors, why are you so arrogant?"

Cao Shujie smiled, he didn't really care: "There are people like this everywhere, why do you care about what they do? We can just live our own lives. When we get along, look at how many of them are still talking nonsense." ?”

There is nothing wrong with this, and Cheng Xiaolin agrees.

"Then shall we buy materials? Or go to the orchard to have a look?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie said: "We have just come back, and the situation here in our hometown is not familiar. We can just let Grandpa Zhenggang buy the building materials. Let's go to the orchard tomorrow and see how the fruit trees are doing."

"In addition, there are still more than 1.6 million yuan in the bank card, which is a waste. I figured that building a house would cost about 200,000 yuan. Contracting the land later would also require a sum of money, but it would not be too much." At this point, he paused. After a while, he looked at his wife again: "How about this? We won't move on the fraction of the more than 600,000 yuan. Let's invest 1 million yuan first."

"What to vote for? I don't understand anything? Do you understand?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie must understand that even if he has not learned anything, he still has memories in his head after experiencing some things.

Compared to a larger market, 1 million is just a small amount of money and cannot affect anything.

"Let me think about it, wait until I get a plan for you to look at." Cao Shujie said this.

But Cheng Xiaolin shook her head: "Husband, if you want to invest, it's better not to tell me. I don't understand these things, and it will be even worse if I give you wrong advice."

"You really don't want to take a look? What if I lose everything?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Who knew that Cheng Xiaolin said without hesitation: "I still have some private money here, and I can make money when I go to work. We don't spend much money living in our hometown. Besides, you are not lazy. With your ability in the future, You can also make money by growing good fruit trees, so what should I be afraid of?”

Cao Shujie was stunned for a long time as he listened to his wife saying these words.

A woman unreservedly places her hope and future on herself, can he live up to it?

Cao Shujie subconsciously reached out and held his wife's hand. It was very soft and without calluses. He smiled and said, "Wife, don't worry!"

…

A few days flew by, and March 18th arrived in the blink of an eye.

It has been exactly a week since Cao Shujie and his family of three returned from the capital.

In front of their old house, Cao Zhenggang and eight people were ready.

After the whole old house was demolished, the foundation was reorganized.

Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin came over with their daughter Mengmeng.

His father Cao Jianguo and mother Wang Yuelan also came over.

After saying hello to Cao Zhenggang, he looked at his watch. When the time came, Cao Zhenggang said to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, the auspicious time has come. Light the firecrackers and let's start work."

"Okay!" Cao Shujie didn't hesitate and started lighting ten thousand red firecrackers.

There was a crackling sound, accompanied by the smell of sulfur and saltpeter, the diffuse smoke, and the shattered red paper flying in the air like dancing butterflies.

Mengmeng was stunned. She jumped up and down, clapped her little hands and shouted, "Oh, it's fun."

There are few children of her age who are not afraid of whipping, but she seems quite energetic.

Before the firecrackers were set off, she wanted to run over and chase the pieces of paper. She was so bold that she scared Cheng Xiaolin and Wang Yuelan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
