The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

When they got home, the whole family was waiting for them. They watched them come back, and were relieved especially when they saw that grandpa looked in good spirits.

In the evening, all the people present had a meal together, but Cao Zhenghu didn't eat much. After the meal, he looked a little tired and went to his room to rest early.

Cao Shujie and the others didn't drink much either. After finishing their meal, everyone quietly packed up their things and prepared to go back to rest.

But Uncle Cao Jianlin did not leave. His brother slept with his old father yesterday, and he wanted to accompany his old father tonight.

Cao Jianguo didn't care either.

My eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and two nephews just came here today. They didn’t get enough rest during the day and are so sleepy now. They want to go back to my uncle’s place to rest first.

Before leaving, my brother kept telling me to call him if anything happened in the evening.

……

However, that night, Cao Shujie was still sleeping on the second floor when he heard a suppressed cry coming from downstairs.

"father!"

It's the old man's voice.

The moment Cao Shujie heard the crying, he felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him and he woke up instantly.

He quickly put on his clothes and came downstairs. His wife had also woken up. When Cao Shujie turned on the light, he told his wife to wait a while before going downstairs.

Before Cao Shujie came down from upstairs, he heard his father's suppressed crying again.

While waiting for Cao Shujie to come down, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa in the living room crying and saying to him, "Shujie, your grandfather is gone."

Cao Shujie suddenly stopped walking and his body collapsed to the ground. He felt as if he had no strength at all. Hearing the crying coming from his grandfather's bedroom, he didn't even dare to walk over there, for fear of seeing that scene.

As all the lights in the house were turned on, the Husky and the Erha in the yard also started barking.

As if it was a trigger, the barking of Daha and Erha also attracted the dogs of other families in the village to start barking. For a moment, all the dogs in Caojiazhuang seemed to be alarmed and started howling non-stop.

That night, Caojiazhuang was not peaceful.

However, Cao Shujie's grandfather Cao Zhenghu passed away peacefully in his sleep and did not suffer at all.

Uncle Cao Jianlin got up in the middle of the night and subconsciously touched his old father's hand. It was cold!

That's when he knew what was happening.

By the time my eldest brother and second brother arrived, it was already past 4 a.m.

Cao Shujie and his family did not hold a grandpa's funeral in a grandpa-like manner. They did not even notify anyone except their family relatives.

But with so many people in Caojiazhuang, it was impossible to keep the secret.

After learning about Cao Shujie's grandfather's situation, some people came in advance to send wreaths or just take a look around.

I also chatted with Cao Shujie and comforted him to be more positive.

No one wants to see such a thing happen, but no one can avoid it in life.

For example, Cao Shujie's grandfather Cao Zhenghu is exactly 90 years old this year, so he is not young at all.

According to the rules of Caojiazhuang, after a person dies, the funeral is basically held within three days, and Cao Shujie did not try to break this rule.

Because of this, my two nephews, who had originally only taken two days off, now had to call the school to extend their leave.

When encountering such a situation, the school had no better solution. The teacher who answered the phone comforted them to deal with their family matters first and then consider returning to school.

During these three days, people came every day, and even people from government departments came to take a look.

……

At the same time, another group of foreigners came to Yiling City. This group was different from the previous two groups. They were a team from Yashan International.

They came here with only one purpose, which was to talk to Xuemeng Food Factory about their intention to acquire the nutrient solution project that Xuemeng Food Factory was developing at a high price.

This group of people knew the domestic conditions in China. After arriving, they first contacted the local government staff in Yiling City and stated the purpose of their trip.

They have also been stating that they will give a price that will satisfy Xuemeng Food Factory.

The people from Yashan International even conveyed their psychological offer to Wang Xueli.

When hearing this offer, even Wang Xueli felt that Yasan International was indeed sincere.

Wang Xueli even thought that if he faced this offer from the perspective of the enterprise, he would not refuse it.

After meeting with Wang Xueli and others, the talents of Yashan International thought about visiting Xuemeng Food Factory in person.

At the same time, Wang Xueli personally arranged for his secretary to bring people from Yashan International to Qingshi Town, hoping to meet and have a talk with people from Xuemeng Food Factory.

This time they came with absolute sincerity.

However, unfortunately, after arriving at Xuemeng Food Factory in Qingshi Town, Wang Xueli's secretary explained the purpose of their visit to Xuemeng Food Factory. Bao Xuefeng, who was guarding the gate, did not even open the door, let alone let them in.

Seeing them lingering at the door and refusing to leave, Bao Xuefeng even arranged for the factory security to chase them away.

In fact, Bao Xuefeng and his team had received instructions from their boss before, that if these people came again, they should be driven away directly.

In the past, there were Paul, William and others, and even Hemilda acquired an agricultural and sideline products processing factory in Yiling City, intending to compete with them in the street.

Everyone was really fed up with this group of people and wondered why they would never stop.
Now people from the city government have brought another group of foreigners here. Are they all traitors?
Because of this incident, several senior managers of Xuemeng Food Factory were very angry.

They gathered together to discuss what to do?
Wang Xueli's secretary brought the other party here personally, so this matter must not be over yet.

"How about telling the boss?" Wang Zhifeng suggested.

But just as he finished speaking, Shi Jingxiu said, "Manager Wang, you know that the boss's family is in a special situation right now, and things haven't been dealt with yet. It's not good to disturb the boss at this time."

Wang Zhifeng also knew that it was not good, but the person leading the team was Wang Xueli's secretary. When he pointed this out, Shi Jingxiu and Guan Boyong fell silent.

In fact, when they saw Wang Xueli's secretary, they realized that this matter was very tricky.

But they just can’t understand why Wang Xueli always gets involved in these things?
The last time Hemilda's people came, he was also the one leading the team.

"Today is the second day, and we have to go there tomorrow. We should tell the boss then." Shi Jingxiu said.

Guan Boyong and Wang Shouzhi nodded at the same time. Since such a thing had happened in their boss's home, it was only right and reasonable for them to go over when the old man was buried.

When the time comes, tell your boss in person so that he can know what's going on.

But they underestimated Wang Xueli's secretary. He was not allowed to enter the factory, which made Wang Xueli's secretary feel extremely insulted. Especially when foreign investors were present, he was turned away and was very angry.

He first called his boss Wang Xueli to report the situation here, and specifically pointed out that they did not enter the factory gate after they arrived.

Even Wang Xueli felt uncomfortable when he heard these words.

There is an unwritten rule that secretaries often represent one's own reputation in the outside world.

Putting aside whether this investment can be negotiated, now Xuemeng Food Factory is refusing to let him in even though they know that his secretary is bringing people there. Isn't this an embarrassment to him?
"Please contact the Qingshi Town Government first." Wang Xueli said on the phone.

When his secretary met Shi Xiangdong, a senior party official in Qingshi Town, he complained, but Shi Xiangdong told him: "Boss Cao is not in the company. Something happened at home and he has not been here for a while."

This was unexpected information. After Wang Xueli's secretary asked carefully, he found out that an elderly person in Cao Shujie's family had passed away and they were currently busy dealing with the funeral arrangements.

But even so, it wouldn't be right for Xuemeng Food Factory not to let them in.

But he was not a brainless person. He remembered that an elderly person in Cao Shujie's family had passed away. There would be no benefit in dwelling on this matter here, and it might even cause Cao Shujie's disgust. Finally, they decided to go back to the city first, report the situation to the boss and then make a decision.

After the foreigners from Yashan International came over, they didn't see anyone and couldn't even get into the door of Xuemeng Food Factory. They began to have extreme doubts about the ability of the person they found to do things.

But they have no better solution now.

After returning to the city, Wang Xueli listened to his secretary's explanation of the situation, especially when he heard that Cao Shujie's grandfather had passed away, Wang Xueli was silent for a while.

As the saying goes, death is the greatest thing, and Wang Xueli didn’t think about anything else at this time.

But these foreigners did not stop. They kept expressing their desire to meet Cao Shujie as soon as possible, have a good chat with him, and promised that they would definitely give a satisfactory price.

Some people also told Wang Xueli that if this matter could be accomplished, they would not forget Wang Xueli's help.

Wang Xueli just fell for it.

After much thought, they decided that it would be inappropriate for them to go there since the old man had just passed away a few days ago. It would be better for them to wait until Cao Shujie had dealt with his affairs before visiting him, which would appear more sincere.

When the foreigners heard what Wang Xueli said, they didn't have any better idea for the moment and thought it would be fine to just listen to Wang Xueli and wait for two more days.

……

In three days, Cao Shujie watched as his grandfather's coffin was buried with his grandmother, and a new tombstone was erected. At this point, the work was done. Although he was still very sad, Cao Shujie still forced himself to send off the relatives who came one by one, and also sent off the friends who came for his sake.

However, when they were sending Shi Jingxiu and the others back, they told Cao Shujie that Wang Xueli's secretary had brought a group of foreigners to the factory. When they heard that Bao Xuefeng had not let them in, Cao Shujie smiled and said to Shi Jingxiu, "It's okay."

Just one sentence made Shi Jingxiu and the others feel at ease.

Before he knew it, it was already evening, and Cao Shujie wanted to treat those who had helped his family in the past few days to a meal.

It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening when we finished the work, and the house was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

The eldest and second brothers also talked about going back tomorrow. They had finished their work at home, and the two brothers Cao Yixin and Cao Yichuan also had to go back to school.

Cao Shujie also told them to go back first and he could take care of the rest.

Everyone's eyes were still red and they were in no mood to eat.

However, Grandpa Cao Zhenghu died at this age, and according to the people in their village, this was also a happy funeral, and even many elderly people came to share in the good luck.

In the blink of an eye, another night passed. When it was bright and they were preparing to have breakfast at home, Cao Shujie didn't see his daughter and asked where his wife Mengmeng was.

"Mengmeng should be at the gate, go call her." Cheng Xiaolin said.

After listening to this, Cao Shujie came to the door. As soon as he arrived, he saw his daughter sitting on the stone pier at the gate with a confused look in her eyes.

When Cao Shujie saw this scene, he felt sad: "Mengmeng, go home and eat."

Mengmeng, however, seemed not to hear her father's voice and continued to sit there, motionless.

Cao Shujie called out again, and Mengmeng finally came to her senses. She looked at her father and said in a sobbing voice, "Dad, will grandpa never come back?"

After she finished speaking, tears began to fall from Mengmeng's face, but she tried hard not to cry out loud. She even raised her arms and wiped away her tears with her sleeves.

She felt very sad: "Dad, I miss grandpa."

Usually mom and dad are busy, so apart from grandpa and grandma, she spends the most time at home with her old grandfather. Over the years, Mengmeng has become accustomed to having her old grandfather around. However, she hasn't seen her old grandfather for several days, and Mengmeng feels a little empty.

She didn't know what to say.

After hearing this, Cao Shujie couldn't hold it in anymore.

He walked over to hug his daughter and comforted her: "Grandpa is watching you in heaven, Mengmeng, you must be good and be strong."

"Where is grandpa?" Mengmeng kept looking up at the sky, but she couldn't see grandpa.

Cao Shujie didn't know how to tell her, but he knew in his heart that his daughter Mengmeng was actually sensible enough and there was no need for him to explain in detail. It was just that Mengmeng was unwilling to admit it now.

"Go home and have dinner quickly. After dinner, your uncle and second uncle will go back." Cao Shujie said.

Meng Meng wanted to sit outside for a while longer. She said, "Dad, Grandpa told me he would be back soon. I want to go in and eat with him."

"You kid..." Cao Shujie originally wanted to say something to his daughter, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

He could understand his daughter's current thoughts, but Cao Shujie felt that people could not always be immersed in the past.

When Cao Shujie was about to persuade his daughter more, his wife Cheng Xiaolin came out of the house and saw the father and son sitting at the door. Cheng Xiaolin called them in to eat.

"Mengmeng, be obedient. If you behave like this, old grandfather will be unhappy when he sees what you say. He will be very sad." Cheng Xiaolin advised his daughter.

When Meng Meng heard this, she quickly stood up from the stone pier and held her mother's hand: "Really? Grandpa is unhappy? Then I will go eat quickly. I want to make Grandpa happy."

Watching his daughter holding his wife's hand and going in, Cao Shujie stood at the door for a few minutes. When he heard his wife's call, he hurried in to have breakfast together.

During this period, Cao Shujie also received a call from Xiang Yuheng.

Xiang Yuheng arranged for his son Xiang Qigang to come over yesterday. He talked with Cao Shujie on the phone for a while and advised Cao Shujie to be more open-minded.

This is an elder who truly cares about Cao Shujie. Cao Shujie also assured Xiang Yuheng on the phone that there was nothing else.

"Okay, if there's anything you can't solve, just call me. Although I'm not in Yiling City, I still have some connections." Xiang Yuheng said.

He never pretended to care about Cao Shujie, which was something that had been slowly developed bit by bit over the seven years they had known each other.

Cao Shujie expressed his gratitude to Xiang Yuheng on the phone. After hanging up, he saw that his eldest and second brothers had packed up their things and were ready to go back to their uncle's place, load the luggage into the car and go back.

Before leaving, brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin came to their father and told him to take care of his health.

"I'm fine. You guys should go quickly. It will be noon by the time we get there." Cao Jianlin said.

"Call me when you get there," he told his son and daughter-in-law.

Cao Jianguo also reminded his two nephews to take good care of themselves and their family when they were outside.

"Second Uncle, take care of yourself too." Cao Shuxin stared at him.

Looking at his cousin Cao Shujie, brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin came over, hugged him, got in the car and left.

A car driven by the eldest sister-in-law took the second sister-in-law and the little nephew directly back to Anyi City.

The other car was driven by brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin, who took their eldest son Cao Yichuan directly to Quancheng. They wanted to drop Cao Yichuan off at the high-speed rail station in the city and take the high-speed rail back to Shanghai to go to school.

After watching the two cars go away, Cao Shujie called out to the old man to go home together.

Cao Jianlong did not object either.

Although their old father has been buried, there are still many things to discuss between the two brothers.

……

At the same time, when Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin were driving along the rural road, turning onto the provincial road and preparing to get on the highway, on the way to Qingshi Town, they happened to see a convoy of 5 Audi A6Ls driving towards them from Qingshi Town.

Although Caojiazhuang Children's Theme Park and Mengmeng Orchard have closed, some people still come here to play. They take photos and check in while enjoying the scenery here. Therefore, it is not surprising to see cars coming from other places.

Cao Shubin and his brother were still discussing in the car what the five Audi a5Ls were used for.

Cao Yichuan said from behind: "Dad, uncle, I think I saw a car with the license plate number 00001."

Cao Shubin and his brother were chatting and didn't look closely. After hearing what his son said, Cao Shubin specifically asked him: "Did you really see it?"

"Really, I remember the third car seemed to be of this brand." Cao Yichuan said.

Cao Shubin frowned. According to common sense, this license plate should have special meaning.

"Could it be a government car?" Cao Shuxin followed up.

However, they had already arrived in Qingshi Town, so the two brothers didn't think any more about it.

Zhang Yi and his team called and said they were going to take the provincial road to the highway and then head straight to Anyi City.

Cao Shubin asked them to drive safely, and the two cars parted ways at the intersection of the highway and drove in two directions.

……

Almost at the same time, a convoy of 5 Audi a6Ls arrived at Caojiazhuang and finally stopped in front of Cao Shujie's house.

At this time, Mengmeng finished her breakfast and sat down on the stone block at the door and waited.

She thought that if the old man came back, she would be the first one to see him here.

But before the old man came, Mengmeng saw several cars stopped in front of her house.

This made Mengmeng quite curious, as she didn't know who was in the car.

But she was also alert, and subconsciously got down from the stone pier and walked to the door of her house. Especially when she saw a few foreigners getting off the car, she quickly shouted to the house: "Dad, someone is coming."

After saying that, he ran home as if he had seen a ghost.

Cao Shujie was at home chatting with his grandfather and father when he suddenly heard his daughter calling out at the door and asked, "Who's here?"

The man also opened the door and prepared to come out to take a look.

As soon as I came out, I bumped into Mengmeng who was running into the house.

"Mengmeng, who are you? Why are you so flustered?" Cao Shujie noticed that there was something wrong with his daughter's expression, and she looked like she was frightened.

Mengmeng pointed outside and said, "Dad, there are so many yellow-haired foreigners."

Before Mengmeng could explain clearly, the four dogs in the yard, Daha, Erha, Dahei and Xiaohei, started howling wildly at the people at the door.

So many dogs barking at the same time, especially these four dogs looking so ferocious, really scared the people coming in the door.

"Go, what are you yelling for? If you yell again, I'll beat you to death." Wang Xueli's secretary was also very scared, but he came with his boss this time, so how could he show his weakness at this critical moment? He even thought about showing his toughness in front of his boss. (End of this chapter)
