The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

"Yes, Uncle Long is right. Let's send more people tomorrow to help my sister." Cao Shujie laughed.

He also wanted to invite Cao Jianlong to his house for a drink, but Cao Jianlong also knew that Cao Shujie had to leave early tomorrow as he had a lot of things to do.

Even when he was craving for alcohol, he didn't really follow him in.

He said to Cao Shujie, "Shujie, don't drink tonight. Have two more drinks at noon tomorrow."

"Okay, Uncle Long, then let's meet tomorrow at noon." Cao Shujie said.

Watching Cao Jianlong walking straight west, Cao Shujie wondered how many people would go with them this time.

There are 5 to 7 village committee leaders in a village. According to what Cao Jianlong just said, the village committees of the four villages including Qingyun Village will also go there, totaling 4 villages, and about 7 people.

"I wonder how many extra tables Fangfang and her husband have booked?" Cao Shujie thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Cao Shujie knew there was no time to delay, so he called his sister Cao Huifang and told her about it.

In Zizhuyuan Community, at Cao Huifang's home, besides her and her parents, there are also her classmates Deng Miaoshan, Ye Beiwen, Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang.

Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang came with their children.

When Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan saw the two little ones, a boy and a girl, they liked them very much and the old couple kept teasing them.

After Cao Huifang answered her brother's call, she heard her brother say on the phone that more people were coming. She was already immune to it, so she directly asked her brother how many people were coming this time.

When she heard her brother say that they would add 40 more people, Cao Huifang said, "Brother, it's a good thing we booked 10 more tables, otherwise we wouldn't be able to accommodate them."

After hearing this, Cao Shujie felt relieved.

"Okay, that's it, this is really the last wave." Cao Shujie said.

He thought that since the rest didn’t call, there shouldn’t be anyone else, right?
But Cao Shujie knew that no matter whether these people went to attend his sister's wedding or not, they were ultimately giving him face.

When he got home, Cheng Xiaolin asked him who he had been talking to.

"Uncle Long, he just came to me and told me that several village committee members also want to attend Fangfang's wedding tomorrow." Cao Shujie said to his wife.

"When I heard there were so many more people, I had to tell Fangfang right away, in case there were too many people and not enough space."

Cheng Xiaolin understood immediately: "You have to return it in the future."

Cao Shujie nodded: "I know."

These people all give him face, and he also gives others face, and everyone praises each other.

Cheng Xiaolin said, "Then I'll go cook first. Let's go to bed early tonight and leave early tomorrow."

"Okay." Cao Shujie didn't say anything else.

His eldest brother and second brother are all with his uncle, but they have also agreed to leave together tomorrow morning.

After dinner, Mengmeng still wanted to go out and play, so Cao Shujie told her directly: "Mengmeng, we will all go to your aunt's place tomorrow, you can stay at home by yourself, okay?"

"Dad, you're so annoying." Mengmeng pouted, thinking that her father was so hateful.

But Cao Shujie ignored her resentful face and continued, "Mengmeng, hey, you should rest early today. I have two big tasks for you tomorrow."

"What kind of work?" Mengmeng became interested.

She gets excited when she talks about this.

"Didn't your aunt tell you?" Cao Shujie teased her deliberately.

Mengmeng looked at her father, wanting to see what tricks he was going to play.

Cao Shujie didn't care about his daughter's tricks, and continued, "Tomorrow you go to hold the door for your aunt, and when your uncle comes to knock on the door to pick up your aunt, you ask him for a red envelope, and all the red envelopes he asks for will be yours, okay?"

Mengmeng's eyes lit up when she heard the word "red envelope".

"Dad, is there anything else? Is there any work?" Mengmeng asked loudly.

Cao Shujie told her very carefully: "One more thing. When we go to the hotel for the wedding ceremony tomorrow morning, can you be your aunt's flower girl? When the time comes, you will go up on stage with a small flower basket and hand the ring inside to your uncle."

"Then what's in it for me?" Mengmeng is a typical example of not giving up until you see the rabbit.

But Cao Shujie said, "Aren't I going to give you a red envelope tomorrow?"

Meng Meng shook her head and said seriously, "That's not right, Dad. The red envelope you mentioned was for me to block the door. Where's the red envelope for me as a flower girl?"

Cheng Xiaolin was watching nearby, and when she heard Mengmeng say that, she was also amazed!

Mengmeng is really good at this!

She sorted out the two tasks clearly.

"Then what benefits do you want?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.

Meng Meng didn't know who she learned this from, but she quickly twisted her right thumb and index finger and said, "Dad, Mom, you have to show some appreciation, right?"

Cao Shujie: "..."

Cheng Xiaolin: "..."

At this moment, the couple wanted to beat someone up. Mengmeng, who did she learn this bad habit from?

But no matter what, after having these two "benefits", Mengmeng was very cooperative at night. After dinner at home, she quickly ran to her room to sleep.

In Cao Huifang's house in Zizhuyuan Community in the city.

She is still discussing things with her parents and several of her classmates.

Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan, the old couple, didn't say anything about the call from their son just now. They knew that their son had a wide network of contacts, and that those people came to join in the fun by taking advantage of their daughter Fangfang's wedding. They were giving their son face.

Wang Yuelan also said to her daughter: "Fangfang, Mommy has something to tell you."

"Mom, just say it." Cao Huifang didn't understand.

Her classmates didn't know what the aunt was going to say, and they all fell silent.

Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang also asked their son and daughter to behave themselves and not make trouble.

Then Wang Yuelan said, "Aren't there many village committee leaders, city and county leaders coming tomorrow? These people are coming here for your brother's sake. Your brother will have to return the gifts they gave. You should discuss with Xiao Tong and give the gifts to your brother and ask him to return them."

"As for the money for tomorrow's banquet, your father and I will make up for it for you." This is what Wang Yuelan said.

Cao Jianguo also nodded in agreement.

But as soon as Wang Yuelan finished speaking, Cao Huifang said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Brother Tong and I have already discussed it. We don't want the gift money from my brother. We will definitely give it to him."

"As for the rest, don't worry about it, we'll take care of it."

When her brother called that day and said that leaders from the city and county would also be there, she discussed the matter with Tong Jiayi.

They all understood why these people came, and because of this, they knew that they could not just accept the gifts from these people, but had to "return them".

There are some considerations as to who to return it to, and this can obviously only be done through her brother.

Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan were relieved when they heard their daughter say this. It's not just about the money, they also have to consider their daughter-in-law's feelings.

Although I know that my daughter-in-law is not a stingy person, the issue of "human feelings" is not as simple as "giving a gift".

Deng Miaoshan, Ye Beiwen, Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang who were standing nearby heard what Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan said, and only then did they realize that so many "big shots" would be coming tomorrow.

At this moment, they felt as if they were participating in the legendary "wedding banquet of a wealthy family" and had a very special feeling.

Putting this matter aside, Cao Huifang also mentioned that she wanted Mengmeng to be her flower girl tomorrow.

"Have you told your brother?" Wang Yuelan asked her daughter.

Cao Huifang nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I must have told you about such an important matter a long time ago."

A makeup artist will come to do her makeup tomorrow morning. They didn’t stay up late at night and went to bed early.

On Cao Huifang's side, only she and her parents are left.

Ye Beiwen, Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang all took their children to Deng Miaoshan's place.

A few people were also discussing blocking the door early tomorrow morning to demand red envelopes.

……

The next morning, before 2 o'clock, Cao Shujie and his colleagues got up and prepared to set off. After packing their things, Cao Shujie carried his grandfather to the car and sat him there, then drove towards the city.

His parents took some of the things with them when they left yesterday, and the rest are in his and his second brother's car.

Grandpa was sitting in the passenger seat, Cao Shujie and his wife were in the back, and Mengmeng was between them, swaying from side to side like a pendulum, drowsy.

She was thinking about the two "benefits" last night and fell asleep in the middle of the night, but she was still asleep this morning and was ruthlessly woken up by her mother.

Cao Yirui, on the other hand, seemed particularly lively.

Cao Shujie thought his son would take a nap after getting on the bus, but he didn't expect that the boy was very energetic and refused to sleep no matter what.

As soon as they got in the car, they stood between the driver and the front passenger seat, put their hands on the middle armrest, and looked forward with their necks stretched out. They didn't know what was attracting them in front.

After about half an hour, they had left Pingyuan County behind.

At this time, behind them, the sun also exerted all its strength, finally broke free from the cage and jumped out of the horizon, slowly rising from the east, and the sky and the earth became brighter.

Today is a good day, may everything go well for you!

We set off early, there were fewer cars and people on the road, and we drove fast, arriving in the city just after 6 o'clock.

At this time, Yiling City still seemed quiet and did not look like a prefecture-level city at all.

Most people are still asleep.

On the streets, there were only diligent sanitation workers cleaning up dead branches and leaves on the road, or scraps of paper and plastic bags that had floated in from nowhere.

Cao Shujie and his companions did not stop and drove straight to Zizhuyuan Community.

There is a parking space in front of his sister's building. After Cao Shujie and his friends arrived, they drove directly into the community and stopped in front of his sister's building. Cao Shujie saw that red paper had been pasted on the entrance of the corridor.

Before he went upstairs, his cell phone rang. It was his mother Wang Yuelan calling.

After Cao Shujie answered the call, he heard his mother asking him where he was.

"Mom, I just got downstairs and will be right up." Cao Shujie said to his mother.

By the way, I also need to take the things in the car up.

"I'll ask your dad to go down and get the things." Wang Yuelan said.

Cao Shujie was just about to say that his father didn't need to come down, but Cao Jianguo had already opened the door and walked downstairs. He was so anxious that he didn't even take the elevator.

Cao Shujie carried his grandfather down from the car and asked his wife to help him take the elevator upstairs.

Mengmeng and her brother Cao Yirui followed. At this time, Mengmeng's mind was full of "red envelopes", at least two big red envelopes.

That’s what Dad said.

By the time they got everything upstairs, more than 10 minutes had passed.

At this time, the house was full of people.

In addition to his parents, his sister, his eldest sister-in-law and his second sister-in-law, there are also several of his sister's classmates.

Only then did Cao Shujie realize that Deng Miaoshan, Ye Beiwen and the others had been here all day yesterday, and came to help again at around 4 a.m. today.
-
Cao Shujie thought Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember their names. It was not until Deng Miaoshan introduced them to him that he remembered that these two people had gone to Caojiazhuang with his sister when they were in school and had lived in his house.

As soon as she entered the house, Meng Meng saw her aunt Cao Huifang and shouted: "Aunt, I am here to be your flower girl. Do you want to give me a red envelope?"

She is quite direct.

After listening to her niece, Cao Huifang nodded hurriedly: "Mengmeng, ask your uncle for a few more red envelopes later."

"That won't work. Uncle's red envelope is uncle's, and your red envelope is yours, aunt's. They can't be mixed together." Mengmeng gave her aunt some serious scientific explanation.

"Or I'll take one less."

Seeing Mengmeng's serious look, everyone in the room laughed.

But none of them said anything.

As they were just children, Cao Huifang didn't prepare any red envelopes, but she had some cash at home, not much, and she took it all out and shared it among Mengmeng, Ruirui, and the children of her two classmates.

"I've given it all to you. When the ceremony is held later, the four of you must go up." Cao Huifang said seriously.

What a coincidence, there are two boys and two girls, and Mengmeng is the king of the kids.

Cao Yirui took the money and put it into his pocket skillfully. He also subconsciously looked at his mother and sister, fearing that they would snatch it from him.

In the past, Cao Yirui didn’t understand the benefits of money, but he understands it now.

Instead, the children of Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang were a little at a loss.

Even Huang Jingmin and Xu Fang did not expect Cao Huifang to give their children red envelopes. They were thinking of asking the children to take out the money and return it, but Cao Huifang said, "I have already said that this is the red envelope for the flower girl. Let's just leave it like this. Let them come on stage and help me later."

"Fangfang, do you need to be so perfunctory?" Deng Miaoshan said to her.

But Cao Huifang said: "This is good. We don't need to find outsiders. Besides, it's better for children to be innocent."

Once this is settled, the rest will be easy.

When the auspicious time came and Tong Jiayi brought his relatives and friends to pick up the bride, Mengmeng stood directly inside the security door and shouted, "Uncle, I'm Mengmeng, don't kick the door, or I'll make you pay for it if you break it."

"If you give me a red envelope, I will let you in." She said a lot and even threatened.

When Tong Jiayi heard Mengmeng was inside, he knew that violent knocking on the door was no longer effective, so he organized his cousins ​​to use this trick. However, the security door was closed tightly, so how could he get the money in?
Mengmeng was well prepared. She asked her father to remove the observation hole on the security door for her, and asked her father to pick her up and shout out from there: "Uncle, just give me the money from here, and I will let him go if you give me the money."

She was like a mountain king, kidnapping her aunt. (End of this chapter)
