The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 128 Dad, I'm Scared

"Linlin, you are watching Mengmeng at home, Shujie and I will go to the mountain to have a look." Cao Jianguo said proactively when he heard what his daughter-in-law said.

When Cheng Xiaolin heard her father-in-law say this, she was a little worried: "Dad, if it really rains and the road is difficult, I'll go."

The last time it rained heavily at night, her father-in-law and husband went to the orchard, and when her father-in-law came back, he sprained his foot, Cheng Xiaolin was still a little worried.

Cao Jianguo seemed to understand his daughter-in-law's worry, he waved his hand and said, "Last time, the road was too bad to walk, but now Shujie has built a road, and Shujie and I rode a tricycle up there, nothing happened. "

"Shujie, you and our dad should wait a little longer. If you see it raining, come back quickly." Cheng Xiaolin told them.

Cao Shujie nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

The two of them took tools and rain gear and rode an electric tricycle to the orchard on the mountain to check the situation. After a quick turn, they released enough forage and feed for 50 calves. They did not see any other major problems. It didn't rain, so they hurried back by bike.

Originally, I planned to go to the county mall to look at home appliances today, but Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin didn't go in such a horrible weather, and stayed at home with Mengmeng.

The little guy did not know where to find a musty "Journey to the West" comic book, walked up to Cao Shujie, opened the comic book, pointed to one of the illustrations with words and asked him: "Dad, what is this?" what?"

Cao Shujie was fiddling with his mobile phone. It was a bit troublesome for him to talk while looking at the screen. He was thinking about how to tell his daughter, when Mengmeng turned around and took the "Journey to the West" comic strip to find his mother.

Cao Shujie was dumbfounded by this operation.

Before he knew what was going on, he heard Mengmeng say to his wife, "Mom, I can't."

"What about your father? Let him tell you about it." Cheng Xiaolin said.

But Mengmeng followed up and said, "Dad won't either."

"Huh?" Cheng Xiaolin turned to look at her husband in surprise, and said, "Mengmeng, your father is an idiot, he doesn't understand anything."

"Well, Dad is an idiot." Mengmeng nodded and repeated.

This made Cao Shujie very embarrassed, he quickly reached out to greet his daughter: "Mengmeng, come here, I will tell you something."

Mengmeng stood beside her mother without moving, and Cheng Xiaolin said to her: "Go, your father will definitely tell you."

Then the little guy came to his father with the book of "Journey to the West" comic strips again. When he opened the book, it was no longer the page just now.

"Dad, what is this?" Mengmeng asked curiously.

Cao Shujie looked at the illustration in the comic book, which was a stone shining on the top of the mountain, and said, "This is the monkey grandson, it is when the monkey grandson is about to be born."

"Ah... Sun Monkey jumped out of the rock?" Mengmeng asked: "Then I also jumped out of the rock?"

Good guy, this can draw inferences from one instance to another.

Cao Shujie thought to himself, this is related to the issue of having children, but it is a big project, so it is better not to tell his daughter.

He said gesticulating: "A long time ago, there were many gods in the sky..."

The stories Cao Shujie told went beyond the scope of comic books, and Mengmeng listened with gusto.

When telling the story, Cao Shujie forgot the time. At some point, there was a strong wind blowing outside, and then raindrops fell on the glass, making a crackling sound.

Then came the sound of rushing water.

"Boom"

Before the lightning struck, the thunder rolled from a distance first, and then there was a sound of '呲啦', and a bright light flashed across the dark sky, as if to tear the sky in two.

"It's raining a lot." Cao Jianguo said worriedly.

He was also a little fortunate that he finally got all the corn back yesterday.

If it is still confiscated, in today's situation, at least one week will not be able to enter the field.

Mengmeng suddenly saw such a heavy rain, coupled with lightning and thunder, she was startled, and quickly got into her father's arms, covered her ears with her hands, and shouted timidly: "Dad, I'm afraid, I'm afraid."

"Mengmeng is good, dad is here, we are not afraid." Cao Shujie said.

"Scared!" Mengmeng was no longer naughty.

There was a thunder, and Mengmeng was so frightened that she trembled all over again. She lay in her father's arms, holding on to her father's clothes with her little hands.

Cheng Xiaolin also saw the change in her daughter, she came over and hugged Mengmeng in her arms, patted Mengmeng's back lightly, and said softly: "Mengmeng is fine, you see we are all in the house Close the windows and doors so the rain won't come in."

But it's useless, the little guy's fear is facing the unknown of nature, and he has no confidence in his heart.

Cheng Xiaolin is usually very good at coaxing him and her, but it is useless today.

Cao Shujie said: "Mengmeng, let's watch TV and cartoons."

As soon as she heard about watching cartoons, Mengmeng became excited. She nodded sharply and said, "Okay, okay, I want to watch Journey to the West."

"Then I have to use a computer to search." Cao Shujie said.

"Then get it quickly." Mengmeng couldn't wait any longer, and urged her father to hurry up and get the computer back.

Cao Shujie hurriedly went to their bedroom to get the computer.

Cao Jianguo looked at the heavy rain outside, his expression was a little heavy: "Those who have not finished confiscating the corn will be in bad luck."

"Dad, there's nothing I can do about it. Who knows that the rain will come as soon as it's said, and the weather forecast is a bit weird this time." Cheng Xiaolin said.

This is really the case.

Cao Shujie came over with the computer, plugged in the network card, opened the browser, and searched for the cartoon "Journey to the West".

It's easy to find, and you don't need to be a member. The advertisement is a bit long, but watching cartoons is free.

Mengmeng doesn't care about the advertisement, she looks at the melatonin advertisement in the advertisement, and the two little dolls are running around, very happy.

After about 1 minute, the advertisement ended, and then came out the first episode of Journey to the West cartoon, which began with the scene of Monkey King jumping out of a stone.

Cao Shujie told Mengmeng this story just now, and she was very excited when she saw it: "Look, Dad, the grandson monkey is born."

"Yes, Monkey Sun is about to be born." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Mengmeng, who was immersed in the cartoon, seemed to have forgotten the sound of the outside world, and there was another sound of thunder outside, but this time it did not affect Mengmeng. Cao Shujie was relieved when he saw it.

Seeing that her granddaughter wasn't afraid, Wang Yuelan relaxed and said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook."

"Mom, take a break, I'll do it." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie thought that there was still a lot of pork and some mutton in their refrigerator, so he said, "Or let's eat hot pot."

"With this weather, where do you go to buy meat rolls?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't even want to complain about him.

But Cao Shujie said: "This is not easy, I will cut the meat rolls."

He scratched the refrigerator and took out the frozen pork and mutton.

Put the knife on the frozen hard meat, and you can't cut it with all your strength.

This was very embarrassing, Cao Shujie ignored his wife's taunt, and said, "It would be great if there was a special knife for cutting meat rolls."

"Even if I want to buy it now, it's too late." Cheng Xiaolin didn't even bother to talk about him.

But Cao Shujie still has a way. It doesn't take much effort to thaw the meat a little bit before cutting it.

It's just that there is no way to cut the thickness uniformly, and there is no way to cut the effect of meat rolls.

Even so, Cheng Xiaolin was very satisfied.

She and her mother-in-law started to wash the vegetables and prepare other ingredients.

There is no way this thing can be made like a hot pot restaurant, but the homemade hot pot tastes cleaner.

Cao Shujie was thinking in his heart: "When the rain stops and I go to the county town to buy appliances, I must see if there is any one selling pressed knives. It is best to prepare some hot pot seasoning and base, so that it will be convenient to eat hot pot at home in the future. "

It is indeed quite comfortable to live on his level.

……

The rain lasted longer than expected, and it lasted intermittently until the afternoon of the second day.

When the sky began to clear, the villagers in Caojiazhuang who had not finished confiscating the corn hurriedly went to the fields to check the situation. If there was any waterlogging, they had to release the water as soon as possible.

Cao Shujie also wore rain boots and carried a shovel to the orchard on the mountain to see what's going on on the mountain now?
His father and mother went to the field to check the situation. No wheat had been planted yet. In the current situation, cars could not drive in at all. In order not to delay the next year's wheat harvest, planting wheat with a cart pulled by people was the last choice.

Cao Shujie came to the mountain along the road. He found that the rose trees planted along the road had been washed clean by the water after the rain. Unfortunately, no roses were in full bloom this year.

The other flower seedlings also drank enough water and began to thrive.

Cao Shujie squatted down, picked the roots of the flowering seedlings with his fingers, and carefully watched the rooting under the soil.

The roots have gone deep, which is a good sign, and Cao Shujie is very happy.

Continuing to go up, I saw a large area of ​​flower seedlings growing very well, but there were also wilted ones. Cao Shujie was not worried. He would call Song Shuli later to replenish the flower seedlings.

When he came to the orchard, Cao Shujie's heart really arose, but he saw that the fruit tree seedlings in the orchard were full of vitality after the rain, and he immediately relaxed.

Walking to the old orchard area, there are only vines and leaves left in the kiwifruit, but the aroma of apples is more intense.

Cao Shujie reached out and picked a big red apple, wiped the rainwater off the outer surface of the apple with his hand, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

The outer skin of the apple is light red, but the flesh is light yellow. It is very crisp after a bite, and the juice of the apple flows down the corner of the mouth, which is very sweet.

Cao Shujie took another big bite, chewing vigorously.

Not to brag, naturally ripe apples are delicious.

He looked at the apples left in the two acres of land in the orchard, and thought to himself: "Why don't we sell them and keep them for ourselves?"

"It's a pity that there is no cold storage, or else I can save some of the kiwi fruit and eat it slowly." Cao Shujie wondered if he was going to set up a cold storage after the money was loose, and how much would it cost?
He didn't know about this, but obviously, the money he had on hand was definitely not enough, and there was no budget for this with the current output.

When he came to the breeding area, Cao Shujie saw that the calves inside were all coming out to have fun after the rain, mooing, and half of his tight heart let go.

Seeing that there was not much left of the forage and fodder picked out yesterday, Cao Shujie entered the breeding area, opened the door of the storage, got another pile of forage and scattered it outside, and then attracted the cows to start eating.

Some Mavericks also saw that Cao Shujie was still on the side, and immediately ran towards him.

Seeing this, Cao Shujie used a fork to make another pile of grass.

Taking advantage of the time when the calf was grazing, he dragged the mixed feed into the trough with a trolley, and turned on the drinking water equipment so that the calf could drink to its heart's content.

"Eat hard, hurry up and grow, let's see who grows the strongest this year, a big reward!" Cao Shujie yelled beside him.

It's a pity that these calves didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words, otherwise they would have to attack him together and teach him a lesson.

Because of the rain, Cao Shujie's construction was suspended for three days.

Fortunately, the terrain on the mountain is high, so there is no need to worry about water storage. There is no excess water storage, and the ground dries quickly. Two days later, the second day of the National Day of the National Day, those who installed water pipes, roads, and barbed wire fences , started working again.

Cao Jianguo came to help when he had nothing to do at home. Seeing that the mountain could stand people, he took a shovel and began to clean up the unfinished ground.

On the same morning, Cao Shujie and his wife were going to Pingyuan County to buy home appliances, and they brought Mengmeng there to play.

Before leaving, Cao Shujie said to his mother Wang Yuelan: "Mom, Cao Zhen will go to Xinjiang in a few days. I may not come back tonight. I will call you in the afternoon."

"That's fine, if you remember to drink, don't drive." Wang Yuelan told her son.

Cao Shujie also knew this truth, he nodded vigorously to reassure his mother.

The car was driving on the way to the county seat, perhaps because it had just rained heavily, and the trees on the side of the road looked particularly clean.

"Shujie, is Brother Zhen leaving?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie nodded and said: "The cost of raw materials in their factory has risen sharply. According to the method of the factory, they will go to Xinjiang to contract land to grow cotton to reduce costs. Cao Zhen will take care of it in the past. This time will not be short."

"And this thing?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't know how to comment, she said, "Even if we plant cotton now, it's too late to use it."

"It won't be used this year, but it can be used next year." Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin shook her head. She said, "What I mean is that if the price of cotton drops next year, wouldn't it be white if you planted it?"

Cao Shujie was distracted by his wife's thinking: "My wife, if you don't tell me, I really didn't think of this, and there is really such a possibility."

"That's how it is." Cheng Xiaolin said.

But Cao Shujie also said: "No matter what, the cost will definitely be cheaper than what they bought in the long run."

Seeing that his wife still wanted to refute, Cao Shujie said, "If the cotton next year is really cheap, they can buy a batch in advance and stock up."

"In short, these companies have their own considerations, and we don't need to worry about them." Cao Shujie stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the car increased by a few points.
