Chapter 1
Saturday, November 2011, 3.

Room 16, Unit 3, Building 703, Chaoyang Xingheyuan Community, Beijing. This is a two-bedroom, one-living room less than 90 square meters.

It was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night, but the lights in the second bedroom were still on.

Cao Shujie was too busy again, and fell asleep lying on the desk.

His forehead was pressed against the computer keyboard for a long time, resulting in several square-shaped red marks.

The desktop computer display is still flickering brightly, and the letter N is full of the screen on the opened Word file.

This state of staying up until midnight has lasted for a long time, and he only rests for four or five hours a day. He is too tired and snores loudly.

Cheng Xiaolin got up in the middle of the night to change diapers for her daughter Mengmeng, and when she heard the snoring from the next door, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

Get out of bed, open the door gently, and close the door of the master bedroom.

When she came to the second bedroom, Cheng Xiaolin didn't dare to take a big step. She walked up to her husband, stretched out her hand and gently pushed her, calling: "Husband, husband..."

"Huh?" Cao Shujie snorted twice in his sleep. He was a little bit short of blood supply after sleeping with his arm pressed for a long time. The stinging pain on his arm woke him up.

Raising his head, he rubbed his red backs with both hands, and his eyes fell on the lower right corner of the computer screen. In 2011, he was a little confused at first, but he became sober after a while.

Cheng Xiaolin was nagging him: "Husband, I told you several times to not be busy so late and sleep a little longer. I didn't read the news and there are many people who stayed up late and died suddenly. If you do the same, what will we mother do?"

Cao Shujie really wanted to tell his wife that he stayed up late 12 years later and died suddenly, not yet 40 years old.

But reason told him to keep this secret in his heart.

"Honey, why don't we go back to our hometown, we're not in the capital anymore, I'm really afraid that you won't be able to hold on one day if you suffer like this every day." Cheng Xiaolin said it again, she had mentioned this issue more than once.

In the past, Cao Shujie must have been gagging and prevaricating.

But not this time, Cao Shujie nodded and smiled at his wife: "Okay!"

The sound of "OK" fell into Cheng Xiaolin's ears, she was stunned for a long time, then she put her arms around Cao Shujie's shoulder and asked him: "My husband, you agree?"

"Honey, you're right. If you continue to suffer, you will die. Go home. I want to spend more time with you." Cao Shujie was very happy this time.

"Yeah, then you go to resign at dawn, and I also went to kindergarten to quit my job, the house..." Cheng Xiaolin looked at this house that had only been lived in for two years, and gritted her teeth and said, "It's also sold. I just need money to go home."

"Okay!" Cao Shujie smiled: "It's all up to you."

……

A week later, Cao Shujie left the capital city in a 10L LaCrosse, a 2.4-model elegant version, and headed for the expressway.

I quit my job, and the 86.9-square-meter house was sold for 30100 yuan at a price of 261.56 yuan per square meter, and I didn't want any furniture or appliances.

After selling the house and repaying the loan, there is still 166.72 million yuan left. Even if it is not recorded in a short period of time, it can guarantee that their lives will not be affected.

"Dad, where's the puppy?" Mengmeng, who was sitting on the safety seat, couldn't stay still as soon as the car got on the highway.

She wriggled her cute little round face, looking for puppies everywhere.

Cheng Xiaolin coaxed her: "Mengmeng, when you arrive at grandma's house in the afternoon, you will be able to see the puppy, so cute."

"Really?" Mengmeng's eyes widened subconsciously.

She has liked puppies and cats since she was a child, especially when she was crying, no matter how much she could be coaxed, but as long as she said to take her to see the puppies and cats, she would definitely stop crying.

"Mengmeng, mom and dad will take you back to grandma's house, okay?" Cao Shujie also said: "After we go back, let's build a beautiful house by ourselves, and then dad will take you to the mountains to play every day."

"Play?" Mengmeng quickly twisted her body to look out of the car, but she was restrained by the safety seat, unable to twist: "Mom, my little one is playing."

She was talking about a small park, but she couldn't make it clear when she was in a hurry.

Cheng Xiaolin quickly coaxed her: "Mengmeng, we are in the car now, and there will be a big orchard when we get back to grandma's house later. It is blooming now, so beautiful."

"Really?" Mengmeng blinked her eyes, looking at her mother expectantly.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded quickly: "Really, Mom promises."

Cao Shujie drove all the way, listening to his wife talking nonsense in the back seat, he was not tired at all.

We ate some food at the high-speed service area on the way, and after an hour's rest, we continued on the road.

It wasn't until after 4 o'clock in the afternoon that I got off the highway.

After a nap, Mengmeng became active again. She didn't want to sit in the safety seat anymore, she had to let her mother hold her.

But it didn't take long before she felt uncomfortable in her mother's arms again, and she had to sit side by side with her mother on the seat again.

If Cheng Xiaolin didn't stop her, she still wanted to stand on the seat. At this time, Cheng Xiaolin felt tired.

"Father, where's grandma?" Mengmeng couldn't sit still anymore, she wanted to get out of the car, and even though the car was still driving, she stretched out her hand to grab the door handle.

Cheng Xiaolin was so frightened that she quickly hugged her, raised her hand and twisted her buttocks twice, but Mengmeng didn't feel any pain at all, and she smiled proudly.

"Mengmeng, no matter how naughty you are, I will still beat you." Cheng Xiaolin was very angry.

Mengmeng is good at everything, but she is disobedient.

After being frightened by her mother, Mengmeng began to act violently. She threw herself on her mother's lap, and she didn't care if she was still in the car. She hugged her mother's arm and swayed back and forth.

After a while, she turned over and lay on her mother's lap again, with her little head raised up, and she raised her little arms to greet her mother.

While doing it, he shouted: "Mom, mom..."

As if she was wronged.

Cheng Xiaolin was so angry that her stomach hurt, she said to Cao Shujie who was driving in front: "Husband, look at your daughter, it's annoying me to death."

"I really shouldn't have her in the first place, so just keep it annoying." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie glanced in the rearview mirror and couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, his car has a length of 5 meters, a wheelbase of 2870, and the rear space is large enough for the two of them to toss about, otherwise it would not be enough for his daughter to roll around.

After more than half an hour, the car drove into a village at the foot of the mountain.

This is Cao Shujie's hometown, Caojiazhuang, a village famous for growing kiwifruit and apples.

Before the car stopped, Mengmeng knelt on her mother's lap and looked out of the car window. Suddenly she saw a white-haired puppy running past, and she shouted in surprise: "Look, mom, Small dog."

"Oh, Mengmeng, are you annoying?" Cheng Xiaolin was going crazy.

Cao Shujie, who was driving, burst out laughing.

When Cao Shujie saw the figure of his mother Wang Yuelan, an old face immediately appeared in Cao Shujie's memory.

Every time he came back from the holidays and was about to leave, he could see his mother standing at the gate and watching from a distance in the rearview mirror, without moving...

This time he came back again and never left again!
