The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Before Cheng Xiaolin could say a few more words, Mengmeng squeezed over again, her head occupying the entire phone screen: "Dad, let me tell you..."

Cao Shujie got a headache just looking at Mengmeng. He really didn't want to talk to his daughter.

If you have this time, you might as well chat more with his wife.

He said, "Mengmeng, be obedient. Look how quiet Ruirui is. Go play with your brother. I have something to tell your mother."

After hearing this, Meng Meng snorted, "Dad, I won't pay attention to you anymore."

"I'd love to." said Cao Shujie.

But just as she finished speaking, her son Cao Yirui's weak voice rang out: "Sister, please move aside. I want to talk to Dad."

Cheng Xiaolin laughed behind him.

The family of four had a video chat for more than half an hour. Mengmeng and Ruirui, brother and sister, were fighting for the priority to chat with their father on the video and they were about to fight. Cheng Xiaolin thought they were too noisy, so she hung up the video chat.

At the end, she told her husband to take good care of grandpa.

They will play outside for a few days and then go back.

"Mom, no, I want to play for a few more days." Mengmeng yelled.

She felt like she hadn't been out to play for a long time.

Cao Shujie is too lazy to complain about his daughter. Let the child do whatever she wants.

"You should also pay attention to safety." Cao Shujie reminded them.

After hanging up the video chat, Cao Shujie went downstairs to take a look and found that his grandfather had fallen asleep. Cao Shujie locked the door and then went back upstairs to prepare for bed.

Usually the whole family is at home and the house is very lively, but today it suddenly became quiet, and Cao Shujie was a little uncomfortable.

He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep and without any entertainment, he went to the small room outside, turned on his wife's computer, and prepared to watch a movie online to pass the time.

Shaw Brothers' martial arts dramas have always been Cao Shujie's favorite.

On the contrary, although the later remakes had clear shots, explosive special effects, and exaggerated actions, Cao Shujie felt that fighting with punches and kicks was more exciting.

For example, Cao Shujie watched "New One-Armed Swordsman" starring Ti Lung and David Chiang when they were young again.

After watching a movie, Cao Shujie looked more energetic. He was about to continue watching Liu Jialiang's "Eighteen Martial Arts" to see the demonstrations of various weapons and hard-core fighting, when he suddenly heard a series of coughing sounds coming from downstairs. Cao Shujie quickly turned off the sound of the stereo and came downstairs to take a look.

Before he entered his grandfather's room, he heard the coughing stopped. He opened the door and saw in the moonlight that his grandfather was still sleeping. He could also hear his even breathing, so he went back upstairs.

At this moment, Cao Shujie was no longer in the mood to watch a movie. He was about to turn off the computer and go to bed when he remembered that he hadn't looked at the stocks he bought for a long time. He didn't know how their prices were doing after so long.
He calmly opened his stock trading software and saw that the only stock in his capital holding area was dazzling red, and the rise and fall of the stock was clear at a glance.

Unconsciously, the closing price of Kweichow Moutai yesterday had reached 471.58 yuan. Cao Shujie has not bought or sold since he increased his holdings in 15.

Up to now, its total holdings, after two dividend conversions and the subsequent increase in holdings, total 3327.36 lots, with the remainder mainly coming from transferred shares.

His stock cost has dropped to 142.43 yuan, and his overall holding profit is 231%.

Since we started adding positions in 15, the amount has doubled in two years. This steady growth rate makes me generally satisfied.

In Cao Shujie's opinion, if this money was invested elsewhere, he might get more.

Of course, you may also lose everything.

After closing the stock trading software, Cao Shujie took a look at the Bitcoin trading center, which he had hardly logged into this year. The price of one coin has risen to US$2601.99 and has been trading sideways at a high level recently.

Although Cao Shujie lacks investment experience in this area, he also understands one thing.

Judging from the current sideways duration and trading volume, there will be new highs in the future.

Cao Shujie is not sure how high the price will rise in the future, but he wants to wait until this upward trend is over, and then sell in batches if a downward trend is confirmed.

Cao Shujie also understood one thing: the decline of any thing will take a period of ups and downs to digest.

After turning off the computer, Cao Shujie returned to the bedroom and sent a message to his wife before going to bed: "Good night, dear!"

Then he threw his phone aside and fell asleep in a daze.

After waking up at around 2 o'clock the next morning, Cao Shujie took his four dogs to the dam to exercise for a while. After getting down from the dam, he hurried home to cook.

There were only him and his grandfather at home, and Cao Shujie seemed very busy.

After he served his grandfather his meal, he took some time to go to the factory in the town, but he didn't stay there for long. He bought some lunch in the town and then came back.

"Shujie, why are you back so early?" Cao Zhenghu asked his grandson.

Cao Shujie told his grandfather that there was nothing to do in the factory: "I can't do much work there, and what about my father's business..."

"Isn't there someone watching you?" Cao Zhenghu asked him.

Cao Shujie laughed and didn't say anything else.

Grandpa was right. Someone was watching over my father's stall and he was not needed now. Cao Shujie was actually in the most relaxed state at this moment.

"Grandpa, you're not busy this afternoon. Can I take you for a walk in the park?" Cao Shujie asked him.

However, Cao Zhenghu waved his hand and told his grandson that he would not go out today.

"What's wrong with you?" Cao Shujie asked nervously.

He was afraid that something might happen to his grandfather.

Cao Zhenghu smiled and said, "Nothing. Your uncle will come over later. You can cook a few dishes and he will eat here tonight."

"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll prepare it." Cao Shujie asked his grandfather.

Knowing that Cao Zhenghu wanted to eat rice was not a difficult matter, the key was that his grandfather could not eat much.

"Grandpa, do you want to eat another fish?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Seeing his grandfather nod, Cao Shujie went to search the refrigerator, but there was really no fish.

He told his grandfather and ran to the Dafulun Supermarket in town to buy the fish.

One dish definitely wasn’t enough, so Cao Shujie bought something else. After returning home, he looked at the stock in the refrigerator and started to get busy.

When uncle Cao Jianlin came over, Cao Shujie had already prepared the dishes and was waiting to cook them.

"Uncle, please continue talking to grandpa. I'll cook right away," said Cao Shujie.

Cao Jianlin was not in a hurry and asked his nephew to cook less.

"Shujie, are your parents and Linlin out?" Cao Jianlin asked.

Cao Shujie did not hide it and told him that he was going out to play for a few days and would be back before the middle of the month.

"That's great. Where did they go?" Cao Jianlin asked.

This time, Cheng Xiaolin took her whole family out without any clear purpose, just to take them for a walk and see the scenery outside.

Cao Shujie also told his uncle about it, and Cao Jianlin was really envious after hearing it.

He was also wondering when his two sons would be able to take him out for a walk.

"Uncle, my eldest and second brothers will be back in the middle of the month. Did they tell you?" Cao Shujie asked casually.

After hearing the old man say that he had already told him, Cao Shujie didn't say anything more.

Cao Jianlin looked at his old father imperceptibly, but he could actually see that something was not right with his father.

This intermittent state began last year. At his father's age, Cao Jianlin also hoped that his father could live a few more years, but Cao Jianlin is also 70 years old. He knows that good intentions do not mean good results.

"Dad, Yichuan is going to take the college entrance examination next year. Do you want to see your eldest grandson get into college?" Cao Jianlin walked to his old father, sat down and chatted with him.

Tell him that his eldest grandson Cao Yichuan will take the college entrance examination next year.

After hearing this, Cao Zhenghu was also happy.

Cao Shujie listened to the conversation between his grandfather and uncle outside, and he hurried to cook.

After he finished cooking and put the food on the table, he asked grandpa and uncle to get ready to eat, and his wife sent him a video on WeChat.

Cao Shujie saw that the background should be a restaurant.

The decoration looked antique, and soon Mengmeng and her brother Cao Yirui blocked the camera of their mobile phones with their faces.

The argument became so heated that the brother and sister even wrestled with each other.

When Cao Shujie saw this scene, he felt really upset, but his grandfather Cao Zhenghu and uncle Cao Jianlin felt very happy after seeing it.

The two little guys calmed down only when they saw that their grandfather and great grandfather were there.

My father, Cao Jianguo, also greeted the old man and told his family that they were in the ancient city of Xi'an today and were currently near the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qinling Mountains. They were going to visit the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit tomorrow.

Cao Shujie thought about the distance between the two places and admired them for running 800 kilometers in two days. They probably didn’t have much fun along the way.

However, seeing that Mengmeng and her younger brother Cao Yiru were eager to show off and tell him where they went today, where they played yesterday, and what they were eating now, Cao Shujie thought that it would be nice if you two could just be quiet for a while.

"You guys should eat quickly. We have just finished and are preparing to eat," Cao Shujie said to them.

"Mengmeng, say goodbye to grandpa and great-grandpa." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Mengmeng is very well-behaved and follows her mother's instructions.

Cao Yirui saw what his sister did and he followed suit, and the brother and sister performed very well.

After hanging up the video chat, Cao Jianlin asked: "They went to the Qinling Terracotta Warriors so soon."

"I guess he barely stopped and drove straight over there." Cao Shujie told his grandfather and uncle.

Cao Zhenghu called them: "Eat it while it's hot. If the fish gets cold, it will smell fishy and won't taste good."

This is reasonable. Cao Shujie took the most tender belly meat from the fish and shared it with his grandfather and uncle, and he took the fish head away for himself.

"Grandpa, uncle, please eat more."

"You can't finish so many dishes, Shujie, you should eat more too." Cao Jianlin said.

……

In Xi'an, Cheng Xiaolin and her family are having dinner.

Song Baoming also had dinner with them.

Along the way, Song Baoming rushed to do any hard work.

She helped carry the luggage and looked after the children, working hard and never complaining.

"Master Song, you should eat more vegetables too." Cheng Xiaolin called him.

Cao Jianguo also asked Song Baoming to eat more, as he would drive them back to the hotel later. Song Baoming did not drink.

In fact, in the past two days, no matter what local specialties Cheng Xiaolin bought, she would buy an extra portion for Song Baoming.

Mengmeng also pointed to a plate of meat and told Song Baoming to eat more.

"Uncle Song, where are you taking me to play tomorrow?" Mengmeng asked.

Song Baoming smiled and said that he would go to see the Terracotta Warriors in Qinling Mountains tomorrow.

This was already planned. They just arrived here today and there are many places to play.

In addition, they had plenty of time and were not in a hurry, so they planned to take a leisurely stroll.

Mengmeng nodded in a serious manner, and soon she was full.

When Cao Yirui saw that his sister didn't want to eat, he didn't eat either. He put down his chopsticks and went to play with his sister.

After seeing this, Cheng Xiaolin said to the siblings with a stern face: "If any of you run around again, I will just throw you out."

Mengmeng saw that her mother didn't want to joke around, so she quickly sat down obediently and didn't dare to go anywhere.

When Cao Yirui saw that his sister stopped running around, he also behaved himself.

He sat obediently next to his grandma, pointed at the ribs on the table and told her that he wanted to eat them.

"Aren't you full?" Wang Yuelan asked his grandson.

As a result, the boy covered his stomach with his hands and cried out, "Grandma, I'm almost full."

Wang Yuelan really wanted to slap her grandson. It was obvious that the naughty kid was not full and was just being stubborn.

She picked up a piece of pork chop and handed it to her grandson. She watched him grab it with his hands and put it into his mouth. His hands were covered in oil and oil was squeezing out from between his fingers.

It tastes delicious.

When Wang Yuelan turned to look at her granddaughter, she asked her if she wanted to eat another piece.

Mengmeng shook her head.

Cheng Xiaolin told her mother-in-law, "Mom, don't worry about her. If she doesn't have enough to eat, just let her go hungry. If she wants to eat at night, kick her out."

Cheng Xiaolin felt that she must not indulge her daughter's bad habits.

Especially, he doesn’t eat proper meals and always thinks about eating snacks.

When she saw this, Cheng Xiaolin felt her blood pressure rising.

Wang Yuelan nodded. In this regard, she and her daughter-in-law were in agreement.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. During these two days, Cheng Xiaolin and her friends visited several places, which greatly satisfied Mengmeng's curiosity about the outside world.

On this day, they were preparing to move to other cities and were packing up to leave.

Cheng Xiaolin was inviting Mengmeng and her brother to get in the car, while the elderly couple Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan were also nearby, carrying things and putting them into the trunk.

Song Baoming was carrying a black backpack in one hand and was about to put it in the trunk after the Cao Jianguo couple had finished putting their things away.

Just at this moment, an electric bike came over with two young men sitting on it. The car rushed towards this side without slowing down.

Before Cheng Xiaolin noticed, she saw the two young men riding an electric bike passing by them, and the young man on the back seat reached out to grab the bag in Cheng Xiaolin's hand.

What happened at that moment left Cheng Xiaolin unable to react. She had not expected such an accident to happen.

But while Song Baoming was helping to get things, he was always looking around vigilantly.

When he saw this, without thinking, he grabbed the strap of his backpack with one hand and threw it towards the young man in the back seat in front of him.

Before the other party could snatch Cheng Xiaolin's bag, Song Baoming arrived first and hit the other party's back hard with his heavy backpack.

The other person stumbled, the bike twisted back and forth a few times, and the two people finally fell to the ground. (End of this chapter)
