The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 1132 Unfilial Daughter Meng Meng (4000/8000)

Cao Shujie couldn't say to his father: "I think Grandpa is not in good health, I want to stay with him for a while, right?"

If that happened, he would definitely be beaten up today and would also be charged with treason.

In these peaceful days, time passed one by one, and Cao Shujie also got used to the leisurely life of spending the morning in Qingshi Town and the afternoon at home.

Occasionally, he would go to the park and orchard to live broadcast with his wife, and after the sun went down, he would push his grandfather in a wheelchair to visit every corner of Caojiazhuang.

Occasionally, when he met an elderly person on the street, Cao Zhenghu would always ask Cao Shujie to stop. He would chat with the other person for a while, talking about the good life now and the hard days in the past. At this time, when the old people in the village praised Caojiazhuang for the good life now, which was brought about by his grandson Cao Shujie, Cao Zhenghu would smile.

He could laugh all the way home.

Sometimes he would cough from laughing. Cao Shujie did not dare to neglect him. He would quickly pat his grandfather on the back and remind him not to laugh too loudly.

This kind of life continued into July.

The laboratory has also entered the final stage.

Cao Tiemin's team has also begun renovating the dormitory building.

Especially when the kiwifruits in the orchard are about to ripen, Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi spend most of the day in the orchard. They use cameras, video recorders and their own eyes to record every period of the kiwifruit ripening.

Then compare the kiwi fruit trees grown in the same period of time but without the use of nutrient solution to see the differences between the two.

Every once in a while, the two would write a report on the differences between the two and send it to Cao Shujie.

They are very serious about their work, which has a lot to do with their experience working in the research institute.

While the laboratory was not yet usable and various experimental equipment had not yet been installed, they calmed down and placed themselves in the orchard to record the growth of the fruit trees after using the nutrient solution.

And they are well aware that this comparison will also help them apply for a patent for this product, as well as the approval procedures for the product to be put on the market, and even include subsequent promotion of the product.

They are not doing it in vain.

At this time, Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi were both very grateful that Cao Shujie could leave them such a large area for experiments.

This situation is almost impossible in a research institute in Beijing.

Even if there really is such a large space for experiments, there are several big names in the institute, but it is not their turn to use it.

"At least from the current perspective, following Cao Shujie is the right decision." The two thought to themselves.

……

It was just July when Cao Shujie went to the town for a meeting.

Today is the Party Founding Day. Cao Shujie was not a party member before, so he didn’t have to pay attention to this, but it is different now.

I originally thought of gathering with the village party members in the village committee’s conference room to eat something and chat.

Who knew that Luo Ningyou called him again and insisted that he go to town.

Cao Shujie did not refuse. Before leaving, he told Cao Jianlong that he would come back as soon as he was done with his work.

When he arrived at the Qingshi Town Government, Cao Shujie thought they could come up with something new, but until he attended the celebration, the overall situation was just that.

Luo Ningyou also delivered a blessing speech to the Party on behalf of the leadership team of Qingshi Town. After that, everyone dispersed and went back to their homes.

When Cao Shujie was about to leave, Luo Ning called him back, wanting to invite him to have lunch together. The difference was immediately apparent, as other people did not have this treatment at all.

But Cao Shujie told him that there were still party members in the village waiting for him to return for a meeting.

After hearing what Cao Shujie said, Luo Ningyou couldn't ask him to give up that place because eating was more important to them.

That is simply outrageous.

There was no other way, Luo Ningyou could only say that they would have a chance to eat together next time.

Cao Shujie drove back from the town in a hurry.

In the large conference room of Caojiazhuang, he, Cao Jianlong and other party members of Caojiazhuang gathered together.

Over the years, there are a total of 73 party members in Caojiazhuang.

Compared with the stingy behavior of Qingshi Town Government, Caojiazhuang Village Committee appears to be very generous and has prepared all kinds of delicious food and drinks.

Each person also prepared a beautiful and practical gift.

When Cao Shujie came over, everyone was eating fruit and chatting. When they saw Cao Shujie coming in from outside, someone handed him an apple and asked him how he enjoyed participating in the activities in the town.

"What else can I do? It's just like that. I think it's not as good as what we have in our village."

"Uncle Long, is everyone here?"

After hearing Cao Jianlong's words, Cao Shujie stood up and said to everyone, "Let's have a simple meeting, chat with each other, and have lunch together at noon."

He keeps everything simple.
-
He is not like Luo Ningyou, who speaks and holds meetings all the time as if he is addicted to it. Cao Shujie does not object to others doing so, but he does not support it either.

He felt that time should not be wasted on this.

After celebrating the festival, Cao Shujie stayed at home again and did not go out.

What made him laugh was that Mengmeng had been mentioning from time to time these past two days that the school was about to start summer vacation. She looked so nervous, as if he was afraid that the promise he made to her to go out and play during the summer vacation would fall through.

Cheng Xiaolin wanted to laugh when she saw her daughter nagging about this: "Mengmeng, can you stop talking so much? I promised to take you out to play, when did you change your mind?"

The old couple Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan also knew about the outing. They didn’t want to go at first, but later they found out that their son would not go this time.

My daughter-in-law definitely can't take care of two children by herself.

Wang Yuelan was still thinking about taking care of her father-in-law at home. After all, Cao Zhenghu was so old and needed someone to be around him.

Who knew that Cao Shujie patted his chest and promised that he would take good care of his grandfather.

He took care of all the household chores, and Mengmeng was clamoring for her grandparents to go out and play together.

"Dad, just have fun and don't worry. I'll take care of your stall for you." Cao Shujie added.

As a result, Cao Jianguo was speechless.

On the second day of Mengmeng's summer vacation, they packed their luggage and Song Baoming drove them out in his GL2.

This time, Cheng Xiaolin wants to take them to a city they have never been to before.

Visit more places and experience the different customs and habits of each place.

Knowing that her elder and second brothers would be back in the middle of the month, Cheng Xiaolin planned the trip to last 10 days.

Mengmeng is happy as long as she can go out and play for a few days, she doesn't care about anything else.

Before leaving, he held Cao Zhenghu's hand, wanting to take him out to play.

Seeing his great-granddaughter's happy look, Cao Zhenghu also smiled and told her to have fun outside.

"Goodbye, grandpa. I'll bring you something good when I come back." Mengmeng said, waving her hand.

Cao Zhenghu nodded repeatedly, signaling them to have fun.

Only Cao Shujie and Cao Zhenghu were left at home.

Cao Shujie went to his parents' stall outside, opened all the bread boxes on the ground, and lined them up in a row in front of the stall.

The stall was also filled with pure milk and boxed eight-treasure porridge, with a sign next to it that listed the prices of the various products.

“Pick it up yourself, pay with credit, and have fun.”

With just these 12 simple words, Cao Shujie went straight home.

There was no one watching the stalls, but the tourists were able to consciously abide by the rules and scan the code to pay.

When Cao Zhenghu saw his grandson coming back, he asked him if he needed someone to watch over so many people outside buying things.
When Cao Zhenghu heard Cao Shujie tell him that everyone outside was very self-conscious and there was no need for him to watch them, he still didn't believe it and insisted that his grandson push him out to take a look.

Cao Shujie pushed his grandfather in a wheelchair and watched at the door for a while. Cao Zhenghu found that just as his grandson said, everyone took the things and tore off a plastic bag from the side to put them in, and then scanned the code to pay.

From the small speaker over there came a series of notification sounds of 15 yuan being deposited into the account via WeChat and 23 yuan being deposited into the account via Alipay.

It is really convenient to have these two things.

Without them, the booth would take at least two people.

When Cao Zhenghu saw this scene, he praised his grandson again. Cao Shujie thought to himself, what does the contribution of Ma Ge and Ma Ge have to do with me?
He wanted to take the credit for this, but it had nothing to do with him.

Cao Zhenghu said to his grandson: "If you hadn't recruited these people, how could we sell so many things?"

If that's the case, Cao Shujie has to admit it.

"Grandpa, let me take you for a walk on the dam." Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Zhenghu wanted to go, but the sun was at its hottest at this time.

"Wait until the sun goes down before going. Why go there now to sunbathe?" Cao Zhenghu also knew that it would be very hot if he went up there now.

Cao Shujie laughed and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the village committee to see the office building that's almost finished. It's three stories high and looks really impressive."

"There is a bank in the village, right? I have never visited it." Cao Zhenghu asked his grandson.

Seeing Cao Shujie nod, Cao Zhenghu became very interested and asked his grandson to push him over to take a look.

When we got here, Cao Jianlong, Cao Shuchao and others were all there.

In addition, Caojiazhuang’s previous accountant Cao Zhengyin and previous security director Cao Zhengcun are also here.

When they saw Cao Shujie pushing Cao Zhenghu over, they all came over to greet them.

"Why are you here, Brother Hu?" Cao Zhengyin came to Cao Zhenghu and held Cao Zhenghu's hand. As soon as they shook hands, a hint of doubt flashed across his face.

Cao Zhenghu said to him with a smile: "I was bored at home, and Shujie insisted on taking me out for a walk."

"I haven't seen this bank yet." Cao Zhenghu looked at the bank at the east end.

There was a sunshade set up at the door, and people were sitting there waiting in line to handle their business.

There are two electric fans next to the awning to provide heat for people queuing outside.

Cao Zhengcun said: "Brother Hu, it was all done by Shujie."

Now that he has retired, he no longer calls him Secretary Cao.

Cao Zhenghu waved his hands, indicating that he should stop praising his grandson and not make Shujie proud, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

At this time, Cao Shujie served as a perfect foil, listening to the conversation of the old men.

Apart from Cao Zhengcun and Cao Zhengyin, the previous leaders of the Caojiazhuang village committee, they are now just dying old men.

In comparison, Cao Zhengcun is younger, but he is also over 60 years old.

After chatting for a while, Cao Zhenghu looked at the three-story building that was almost completed, and asked his grandson Cao Shujie to push him over to see the bank.

This is a visible change in Caojiazhuang. There was no bank in the village before.

At least no one in their county has heard of it.

Caojiazhuang was the first of its kind in Pingyuan County.

"Shujie, you did a good job." Cao Zhenghu gave a thumbs up and praised his grandson.

Cao Shujie still felt a little proud.

Cao Jianlong, Cao Zhengyin, Cao Zhengcun, and Cao Shuchao continued chatting next to them, talking about the decoration of the village committee office building after its completion.

Cao Zhengyin suddenly said, "Brother Hu looks older."

After hearing this, Cao Zhengcun nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Hu is 90 this year, right?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be 89." Cao Zhengyin thought about it and was a little unsure.

"Brother Hu's life is worth it because he has a grandson like Shujie." Cao Zhengcun admired him sincerely.

Cao Jianlong listened to their conversation, then looked over and saw Cao Shujie pushing Cao Zhenghu standing in front of the bank not far away. They were looking at the people doing business inside, and it was unclear what the grandfather and grandson were talking about.

With a broad smile on his face, he was also feeling emotional in his heart. In this regard, Cao Shujie did a better job than most people in the village.

As the sun rose higher and higher, it became hotter outside. Cao Shujie pushed his grandfather and Cao Jianlong and said goodbye to them and went home.

"Grandpa, what do you want to eat at noon?" Cao Shujie asked him.

There are a lot of things at home, but there is not much that grandpa can eat.

Most of the meat was inedible.

Cao Zhenghu raised his hand, which was a little trembling. He said, "Millet porridge and boiled eggs will be fine."

"Okay." Cao Shujie agreed and went to the kitchen to cook.

Like his grandfather, he drank millet porridge, ate boiled eggs, and had some cold dishes.

A simple and warm lunch.

For someone like Cao Shujie who is used to eating meat, it feels pretty good to suddenly eat simpler meals at this time.

……

In the evening, Cheng Xiaolin sent a WeChat video to Cao Shujie, telling him where she had been and what attractions she had visited that day.

Cao Shujie complained to her: "It's the first day since you left, how far can you go?"

"Just take a look along the way. We have plenty of time anyway, so we can kill time slowly." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Mengmeng and her younger brother Cao Yirui also anxiously put their heads into the phone screens, pushing their mother away.

Cao Shujie looked at the two little heads, then at his wife who was looming behind them. He looked disdainful and said, "You two go play somewhere else. I'll chat with your mother."

Mengmeng was not happy after hearing this, and said that her father only had eyes for her mother.

She also said that her father doesn't like her anymore.

Cao Yirui was slow to react to these things, and he kept grinning.

When Cao Shujie saw his son like this, he remembered that when he first brought Daha and Erha back from his uncle's house, Daha often bared his teeth to please him.

Cheng Xiaolin was standing behind them, watching the three of them having fun with a smile on her face.

At the end, Mengmeng also told her father what scenic spots they were going to visit tomorrow and what delicious and fun things they were going to buy.
"Dad, should I buy something for you to take back?" Mengmeng asked insincerely.

Cao Shujie rolled his eyes, what an unfilial daughter.

"Shujie, how is grandpa?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie told his wife, "It's fine. Don't worry. I'll take care of it. There won't be any problems."

Cheng Xiaolin almost said in her heart: "It's because you take care of me that I'm worried."
