The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing looked at the brother and sister making a fuss and they wanted to laugh too. They had never seen such naughty children.

Speaking of which, the brothers Yichuan and Yixin are relatively honest compared to their two younger siblings.

"Sister-in-law, let's make a braised catfish tonight." Cao Shujie asked his wife and two sisters-in-law to take a look at the catfish in the bucket. It was really big.

It was very difficult to fish it up from the Yellow River and I estimated it was at least 3 kilograms. Now that I'm home, Cao Shujie took out the electronic scale and weighed it, only to find out that this guy actually weighs more than 4 kilograms.

"It's quite big." Cao Shujie sighed.

Brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin also nodded. This fish was the biggest one they had caught today.

The largest of the remaining fish was less than half its size.

Zhang Yi looked at the catfish's mouth full of fine teeth, and then saw that it was still so active in the bucket. He was a little scared: "How do I braise this thing?"

She didn't dare to do it.

But the eldest brother Cao Shubin said: "You don't know how to do it, I will do it."

He also said: "Wash it and chop it into pieces, fry it in half, add garlic cloves, bean paste, and large slices of ginger to the other half, and give it to the little ones to eat."

"We can use the remaining dried chilies and add a piece of tofu. It will be very fragrant!"

After he said that, even Cao Shujie became greedy.

"Brother, then this job has to be handed over to you." Cao Shujie was not polite either. If you come to eat, you should have the awareness of eating.

Cao Shubin is the right person for the job.

Grandpa Cao Zhenghu listened to them chatting outside, came out of the house, and saw the catfish in the bucket. He was also quite interested.

"From the Yellow River?" he asked.

Seeing the grandchildren nodding, Mengmeng and Cao Yirui rushed to take credit before they could speak, saying, "Grandpa, Dad caught it in the Yellow River."

"Haha, that's really not small." Cao Zhenghu sighed.

Just when Cao Shujie was about to be proud of himself, he heard his grandfather say, "But the catfish in the Yellow River are not as good now. They are not as big as they were back then."

Cao Shujie and his two brothers looked at each other and then at their grandfather.

But Cao Zhenghu said, "You guys are still young, it's normal that you don't know. When we were young, the catfish in the Yellow River were really big. Any one of them weighed more than ten kilograms, enough for a family to eat for several meals."

"They have seen ones weighing more than 100 kilograms, but I haven't seen one." Cao Zhenghu still felt a little regretful.

Cao Shujie and his two brothers were like listening to a foreign language, they had never heard of this matter before.

Not to mention Cao Yichuan, Cao Yixin, Cao Yirui and Mengmeng.

Cao Shujie screamed in surprise: "Grandpa, are there such big fish in the Yellow River?"

"Yes, of course not." Cao Zhenghu seemed to be lost in memory. He said, "I've heard people say there are king catfish in the Yellow River. They live for more than 100 years and must weigh more than 300 kilograms. When their mouths open, they're as big as door panels."

"Grandpa, is that a whale?" Mengmeng asked curiously.

She went to the oceanarium every year, so she knew what a whale was, but she had never heard that a catfish could be that big.

"Will it eat children?"

When Mengmeng thought of this, a frightened expression appeared on her face.

Cao Zhenghu looked at his great-granddaughter's cute appearance and wanted to tease her, so he said with a smile: "I heard that catfish will eat disobedient children. Many disobedient children run to the Yellow River to take a bath, and finally can't get out. They are all taken away by the catfish king."

"Ah!" Mengmeng was so scared that her eyes widened. She took several steps back and almost fell down.

It was Cao Shujie who stepped forward and hugged her.

Cao Zhenghu didn't expect this to happen. He was very worried, but fortunately his great-granddaughter was fine.

Time passed quickly while we were chatting and laughing.

Before he had time to prepare lunch, Cao Shujie called the farm restaurant and asked them to send some food over so that he could have a simple meal at home.

After finishing the work, I took my grandfather to the uncle's place in the south.

When I came over, I saw the old house opposite which has been converted into a bakery. People were coming in and out, working inside. A rich aroma of bread wafted from the house, and many children playing on the street were sniffing hard to smell the aroma.

After seeing this, Wang Yuelan asked her husband Cao Jianguo to go home and get a box of bread to share with the children.

"Auntie, you can't do that."

Some young people who were looking after children saw Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo doing this and they hurried to stop them, after all, they still needed to sell the bread.

But Wang Yuelan told them: "It's okay, let them eat. We have watched them grow up, and they have grown into big boys. What's wrong with eating some bread?"

"Grandma, I want to eat too." Cao Yiru said while rubbing his belly.

He wasn't hungry at first, but when he saw so many of his friends eating bread, he felt hungry too.

Mengmeng also wanted to eat a little more, but she was worried about whether she would get fat if she ate too much.

Before she could make a decision, Wang Yuelan had already stuffed a piece of bread into her hand and said, "Mengmeng, eat it quickly."

"Yichuan, Yixin, you can try it too." Wang Yuelan handed them two more loaves of bread.

Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing didn't stop them either.

Cao Shujie and the others have already been busy preparing meals.

Cao Huifang was playing with her nephews and nieces nearby.

The past few days since she came back have been the most relaxing time for her, and what makes her even happier is that she no longer has to think about work.

In the two months since she resigned from Yifang Semiconductor Packaging Co., Ltd. and returned to Yiling City, Cao Huifang has adjusted her work and rest schedule in her hometown these past two days, getting rid of the influence of the regular working hours of the past two years.

Turn yourself into a complete freelancer.

She was a little frightened at first, but now she has completely calmed down and feels that this is a good thing.

Seeing that her eldest brother and two cousins ​​had gone home to cook, Cao Huifang and her three sisters-in-law looked after the children together, chatting and laughing, talking about the past and present, and they felt that life was so good.

……

After Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi came down from Mengmeng Orchard, they went to the orchard of the agricultural planting cooperative to compare the growth and development of the two kiwifruits.

Caojiazhuang has more than 2000 acres of kiwifruit plantations. In other words, there are enough samples for them to study.

During this period, they worked hard on research and indeed gained some results. For the combination formula of the first-generation nutrient solution provided to them by Cao Shujie, they also found some alternative raw materials with lower cost.

However, after they prepared the samples, they found that the alternative first-generation nutrient solution was more like a simplified version, while the one prepared by Cao Shujie before was more like a deluxe enhanced version. Compared with the two, the effect was much worse.

This was also within the expectations of Fu Xianghui, Tong Jiayi and others.

They think this is normal. For example, something that costs 10 yuan and something that costs 100 yuan cannot be compared in terms of quality or efficacy.

The same is true for the nutrient solution. After further research, the two came to a conclusion that the first generation of nutrient solution was basically like this.

However, a bag of nutrient solution can be produced in two versions.

Their next step will be to continue researching the second-generation nutrient solution.

Tong Jiayi also asked Fu Xianghui how long it would take to install the equipment.

Tong Jiayi almost went crazy after seeing the list of equipment that Cao Shujie had ordered to be purchased.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that some of the equipment purchased by Cao Shujie was more high-end and sophisticated than the equipment they used in the institute. He really couldn't understand how an individual's purchase could be compared with the equipment purchased by the institute after a special project was established and the national subsidies were obtained, or even better than those equipment.

But Tong Jiayi likes it. After these devices are in place, they are the ones who can use them however they want.

Unlike when I was in the research institute before, some more sophisticated equipment required reports before use and had to go through layers of approval, and I had to wait for approval before I could use it.

Thinking about his current treatment and then thinking about his past, Tong Jiayi can never go back to the past.

At that time, a sentence popped into Tong Jiayi's mind: "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."

He used to laugh at others for not being able to control themselves, and thought that if such things happened to him, he would be fine. But he didn't expect that the same thing would happen when it really happened to him.

"Brother Fu, are my sister-in-law and nephew here?" Tong Jiayi asked Fu Xianghui.

He already knew that Fu Xianghui bought his home in Quancheng, and Tong Jiayi didn't feel any difference in treatment about this.

He understands that everyone's value is different, and if you want better treatment, you can only improve your own value.

When they were in graduate school, there was still a big gap between him and Fu Xianghui, and the gap in ability between the two was also not small.

"They are all here. They came here in advance to familiarize themselves with the environment. Zikang will go to school here in August." Fu Xianghui's face was filled with smiles when he thought of his wife and son.

Seeing Fu Xianghui's happy face, Tong Jiayi, who has been single all this time, feels the urge to get married.

But when he thought of the various rumors after his marriage, Tong Jiayi felt inexplicably more fearful.

After hesitating for a long time, Tong Jiayi asked Fu Xianghui: "Brother Fu, I want to ask you something."

"You say." Fu Xianghui was studying the growth of the kiwi fruit in front of him. When he heard Tong Jiayi had something to ask him, Fu Xianghui turned his head and looked over.

Then I heard Tong Jiayi say, "Brother Fu, is it a good idea to get married?"

"People say that couples have a small quarrel every three days after marriage, a big quarrel every five days, and they often break up. Is it true or not?" Tong Jiayi's face was full of curiosity.

Fu Xianghui was a little confused when he heard his question.

He looked Tong Jiayi up and down, and suddenly asked, "Brother Tong, tell me honestly, have you never been in love?"

This time it was Tong Jiayi's turn to be embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and said sheepishly: "No, my family was poor before, and I focused on studying, thinking about going to a good university. After entering university, I kept following the teacher to study the subject, and I didn't have time to talk. After graduation, I was assigned to a research institute and worked there for several years..."

"You know, in our institute, besides those who are married, there are also research geeks."

"Fuck!" Fu Xianghui was stunned when he heard Tong Jiayi say this.

I never expected that there would still be such an innocent young man like Tong Jiayi today.

"Brother Tong, how old are you?" Fu Xianghui asked.

"31." Tong Jiayi said.

Fu Xianghui felt a little annoyed when he heard the age: "Fuck, young and promising!"

He couldn't help but swear, he was not joking.

He knew that Tong Jiayi now had an annual salary of 100 million, and more importantly, Tong Jiayi was very down-to-earth, knew what he wanted, and worked very seriously.

There are not many people of his age who have the same cultivation of character as him.

Moreover, Tong Jiayi has a clear understanding of himself, which is something that many middle-aged people who have experienced the vicissitudes of life cannot do.

"Okay, Brother Tong, I can only tell you that marriage is a responsibility. It is indeed tiring to be married, but if you meet a good woman, you will feel willing to give. Do you understand?" Fu Xianghui said.

Tong Jiayi said with a tangled look on his face: "But I've seen many people say that there are endless quarrels after marriage."

"As if you don't get married so there won't be quarrels?"

Coincidentally, not far in front of them there was a young couple arguing, and someone was trying to stop them.

Fu Xianghui pointed over there and said to Tong Jiayi, "Did you see that? I guess those two haven't gotten married yet. Aren't they arguing?"

"Besides, there are more cases of people who are not married breaking up and getting back together, and there is not even a record. If you are married and then divorced, at least there is a certificate. It knows how many times you have been divorced, don't you think?"

Tong Jiayi was stunned by what he said. He felt that Fu Xianghui was right.

"Brother Tong, life is not just about work, there are also trivial things. You should take some time to pay attention to other things. You are in your 30s now, so hurry up and solve your single problem." Fu Xianghui advised kindly.

Tong Jiayi was a little dazed, he didn't know how to continue the topic.

……

Two days passed after Cao Shujie and his family had dinner together at the old man's house.

Under the chairmanship of Cao Shujie, Caojiazhuang held a village meeting, at which the proposal to open a market in Caojiazhuang was passed.

Deputy Secretary Cao Jianlong and Deputy Director Liu Guoqiang were responsible for contacting the opera troupe and preparing to set up a stage in Caojiazhuang to perform the opera.

Everyone spread the news and were looking forward to the opening of a market in Caojiazhuang.

After the village meeting, this was the topic everyone talked about the most.

Even many tourists who come to Caojiazhuang know about this incident. They all want to join in the fun and see what it is like to set up a stage and perform a play.

For a moment, Caojiazhuang became lively again.

Just when everyone was anxious to know when the stage would be set up for the performance, they heard someone say that the troupe had already been negotiated and would come to Caojiazhuang to set up the stage in the next two days.

By the end of July, it had been a week since Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin's families returned from Anyi City and were discussing their return.

That afternoon, after finishing their homework, the brothers Cao Yichuan and Cao Yixin ran over to find Cao Shujie.

Perhaps because they have been hanging out together whenever they have free time during this period, the relationship between the two brothers and their uncle Cao Shujie has become smoother.

There is no such thing as being estranged as only seeing each other once in a year or two.

After meeting Cao Shujie, the two brothers immediately chased him to ask about the opera troupe.

They heard about this incident just after they came back, and the two brothers are still thinking about it.

I always wanted to see what real opera performances look like before I left.

"Uncle, when will the opera start? Otherwise, please send us a notice and arrange it quickly. If you don't, we will leave." The two brothers howled. (End of this chapter)
