The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 145 Prepare to move (for subscription) 60001
"Be serious, I'm talking to you about something serious." Cheng Xiaolin stared at her husband, always feeling that he had a playful smile on his face and didn't take what she said to heart.

Cao Shujie quickly expressed his opinion: "My wife, don't worry, I will definitely follow your command. If you say go east, I will never go west."

"That's about the same." Cheng Xiaolin nodded with a smile, very satisfied.

"Shujie, I just read the weather forecast. It said that there might be snow for a while. Those strawberries on the mountain are all right, so they don't freeze anymore." Cheng Xiaolin asked.

Hearing his wife's question, Cao Shujie said to her seriously: "Don't worry, I'm studying something, and it's definitely fine. If it's so easy to freeze, what about the strawberries grown by other people?"

When Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband say this, she thought it was right, so she stopped caring about it.

She hesitated and was about to ask Cao Shujie if he had time recently to accompany her back to her natal home when her husband's cell phone rang.

Cheng Xiaolin also saw the name on the phone screen, with the word Cao Zhen flashing.

In the blink of an eye, her husband reached for the phone and connected the call: "Hey, Cao Zhen, you have been away for more than a month, how are you doing now? Have you made arrangements?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I just finished it." Cao Zhen's tone was exhausted.

He said: "Shujie, I have fully understood this time, people are outside, no matter what to do, it is difficult!"

"Go through the formalities and do some errands. I used to have nothing I couldn't do in Pingyuan County. Who dares to delay me for a few days to try, but it's not the same thing when I come here. I bumped into walls everywhere." Cao Zhen was full of complaints and grievances.

"Dog thing, there are still people stealing money here, don't you know?" Cao Zhen still had some uncontrollable fear and worry when he talked about what happened in the past.

When he was in Pingyuan County, he, "Director Cao", went to do something, and he said hello, and arranged in advance for dinner, massage and foot washing.

If someone really bullied him, it would be no problem to find two cars of people with one phone call.

But here, everything changed.

"The tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by the dog!" This is Cao Zhen's most real feeling at the moment.

Cao Shujie felt very uncomfortable after listening to it.

Fa Xiaoyuan walked thousands of kilometers, worked hard outside alone, was unfamiliar with the place, and faced difficulties in all aspects.

"Shujie, I now understand how difficult it was for you to live alone in the capital," Cao Zhen said.

But he was also very proud: "Tell me, how did you survive when you first went to the capital?"

Cao Shujie understood this time, he had laid so many foundations before he lost his feelings, and he just learned from himself.

But what's the trick with this thing?
Cao Shujie said in a flat tone: "Cao Zhen, let me tell you this, I just gritted my teeth and survived slowly."

He said: "You are outside alone, with no relatives, who do you think you can find?"

Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband talk about their affairs in the capital, and she also remembered the scene when she gritted her teeth and tried her best, it was really difficult!

"Mengmeng, let's go play with grandma and see if there are any good cartoons." Cheng Xiaolin didn't want her daughter to listen to these things.

Perhaps one day in the future, when her daughter grows up and starts to enter the society, she will share these experiences as stories with Mengmeng, but that is not now.

Mengmeng was very happy when she heard her mother said that she was going to watch cartoons, she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, mom, let's go."

She also went to Cheng Xiaolin's side, looked furtively at her father Cao Shujie who was on the phone, and whispered, "Mom, let's watch cartoons secretly, and don't let Dad watch them."

Cheng Xiaolin felt a little funny looking at her daughter like this, and asked her: "Mengmeng, tell mom why you don't let dad watch cartoons?"

"Hush, shush!" Mengmeng put her finger on her lips, signaling her mother to speak softly.

She said: "Dad lied to me just now and said he would give me money, but he didn't give it, and I wouldn't let Dad watch cartoons."

Cheng Xiaolin really wanted to praise her daughter, there was nothing wrong with her thinking.

"Let's go, let's go secretly and don't let him know." Cheng Xiaolin took her daughter's hand and walked out.

Cao Shujie had heard the conversation between the two of them clearly, and he couldn't laugh or cry, and he didn't expect his daughter to be so 'resentful'!
"That's how you survived?" Cao Zhen on the other side of the phone was full of emotion when he heard what Cao Shujie said.

He didn't think that Cao Shujie was lying to him.

And before he came here, he didn't have a deep feeling for this sentence. If he heard Cao Shujie say that, he might say something hypocritical about Cao Shujie.

But now he really understands and has a deep understanding.

"Otherwise? Our couple lived slowly in the capital and complained to each other when we got home." Cao Shujie teased himself.

Who knew that his unintentional words would instead touch on Cao Zhen's pain point: "Did you do it on purpose, knowing that I haven't found a partner yet."

"Oh, isn't there a lot of beauties over there? Don't you want to find one?" Cao Shujie teased him.

But Cao Zhen said: "If I find one, I may not be able to go back!"

"Not coming back is better than you being alone all the time." Cao Shujie sent a head-on crit, making Cao Zhen want to vomit blood depressed.

"Okay, okay, that's it for today." Cao Zhen really didn't want to chat with Cao Shujie, and the more they talked, the more depressed he became.

He finally asked Cao Shujie: "Shujie, do you have any apples there? Just the one you planted yourself. If you have any, send me some."

"Have you eaten all of it?" Cao Shujie asked him, sending him over 30 catties last time.

Cao Zhen hummed, and said, "I ate a lot in the car. I didn't get used to eating anything when I came here. I ate apples every day. You just brought me a little."

"Okay, you give me an address, and I'll send it to you when I have time." Cao Shujie didn't want to listen to his nonsense, he said: "Let's talk about it first, I don't have much left, I can only send you a few dozen catties , and sold the rest to Zuo Le."

"How much did you sell him?" Cao Zhen was quite interested.

Cao Shujie almost forgot, he thought for a while and said: "It should be more than 7200 catties, and I earned more than 5 yuan."

"How can you grow such a fruit and sell it for such a huge profit?" Cao Zhen really couldn't figure it out.

According to Cao Shujie's statement, a catty of apples costs seven or eight yuan.

He was really convinced that the kiwi fruit he sold was 28 yuan a catty.

Cao Shujie said with a smile: "Cao Zhen, otherwise you should resign from your uncle, and we will work together when you come back."

Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Zhen was very moved, but he said: "Come on, if I go back again, I will definitely start my own business."

"That's fine, or you start your own business and open a fruit shop, and I'll deliver fruits to you, and you earn a difference." Cao Shujie said one thing after another.

The two didn't talk for long, Cao Zhen finally gave Cao Shujie his current address, and then talked about both sides.

In the end, he told him to send more apples, and said that this was the last consolation he could get in touch with his hometown.

"Co-author, you are relying on me." Cao Shujie laughed loudly.

When selling the apples to Zuo Le, Cao Shujie set aside more than 400 catties on purpose. These apples were basically eaten by himself or given away.

Regarding Cao Zhen, Cao Shujie will definitely not be stingy. Seeing that it was still early outside, Cao Shujie directly filled a whole box, estimated to be more than 30 kilograms, and it was hard to hold it. Cao Shujie just carried a box of apples and put it in the car. Drive directly towards the post office in Qingshi Town.

No way, at this time, except for the post office, several other couriers in the town do not pick up the courier orders to Xinjiang.

"Boss Cao, what are you sending that is so heavy?" Liu Shuai, a postal express salesman, asked him.

Cao Shujie said, "Apple, sent it to a friend of mine."

"That's right, then you must have a good relationship with this friend." Liu Shuai said.

Cao Shujie nodded: "It's okay. He grew up together. Now he goes to Xinjiang by himself and wants to eat some apples I planted. I can't refuse him." Cao Shujie patted the box and asked : "Master Liu, help me weigh it and see how much it is."

"It's estimated to be about 150 yuan." Liu Shuai hugged him just now, and he knew it in his heart.

He said: "With this kind of money, it is enough to buy some apples locally."

"Haha, this is different." Cao Shujie said.

Liu Shuai didn't say anything else. After weighing on the scale, he told Cao Zhen that he needed 158 yuan for postage. Liu Shuai wanted to ask him whether he should pay by delivery or by delivery. Cao Shujie had already handed him 200 yuan: "Liu Shuai Here, master."

Cao Shujie came out of the post office, sent him a call to Xiao Cao Zhen, and said to him: "Cao Zhen, I just came out of the post office, and the apple was sent to you, please pay attention to check."

"How much did you send? Let's forget about 10 catties or 8 catties. It's not even enough for postage." Cao Zhen said.

Cao Shujie didn't want to talk to him, and finally told him: "It's almost 40 catties."

"Oh, that's fine, Shujie, you're so kind. I'll have a drink with you when I go back during the Chinese New Year," Cao Zhen said.

Neither of them was hypocritical, so they hung up the phone without saying a few words.

Cao Shujie drove the car, and when he got home, he saw his wife using the computer as soon as he entered the bedroom.

The message notification sound of 'beep' sounded, followed by a knock on the door. Cao Shujie sounded familiar, and asked her: "Wife, who are you chatting with?"

"I was chatting with Sister Zhu, did you send the apple to Brother Zhen?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie nodded, walked to his wife in a few steps, sat down next to his wife, and stared at the computer screen: "Who is Sister Zhu? Do I know her?"

"When you saw it, you forgot. When we went to Huaxi Mountain two days ago, Mengmeng accidentally collided with Sister Zhu and her son Bingbing. Do you remember?"

When his wife said this, Cao Shujie remembered that incident: "I know what you said, and you told me."

"That's right, you don't have a good memory, so you've forgotten all about it." Cheng Xiaolin said, her hands on the keyboard didn't stop, she typed, and she didn't delay chatting with her wife at the same time.

"What are you talking about?" Cao Shujie was quite curious.

Are they the same as men, bragging about each other, and if they don't convince each other, this topic can't be finished.

Cheng Xiaolin twisted the computer screen towards him and said, "What else can I do? Let's talk about parenting."

She said: "Sister Zhu has two children, and the youngest one is about the same age as our Mengmeng. She asked me how to raise children to be smarter."

As soon as his wife finished speaking, Cao Shujie stood up with his eyes wide open in surprise, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, and said, "Honey, this Zhu Qiaoxia is very discerning."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't understand.

Then I heard Cao Shujie continue to say: "My wife, how did she know that you can raise children?"

Hearing what he said, Cheng Xiaolin suddenly understood what was going on, and rolled her eyes at him: "How can you boast so much, do you want to lose it?"

Cao Shujie chuckled, and said, "Honey, I'm telling the truth, what's there to be ashamed of? Your thinking is wrong."

Cheng Xiaolin looked too lazy to talk to him, but she was secretly happy.

"Okay, hurry up and go, don't disturb me."

Cao Shujie saw his daughter Mengmeng running over, and hurried to meet him: "Okay, let's chat, I'll play with Mengmeng."

……

At the same time, Cao Zhen rented a house in a small county in Changzhou, Xinjiang.

During this month, he also contracted 3000 mu of land to plant cotton.

This year's cotton price has risen a lot, but after Cao Zhen came here, he found that there are not many people growing cotton here.

He even saw that the cotton in the fields in many places could be harvested, but no one took care of it at all, and the weeds in that field grew very lush, covering all the cotton, causing a lot of cotton to lie down. The output can be imagined.

He couldn't figure out why this scene happened.

The cotton purchased in their factory is so expensive, but there is a large area of ​​land where the cotton is not harvested.

When he saw this situation, he wanted to scold his mother.

Thinking of the call Cao Shujie had just made to him, Cao Zhen felt better.

Throwing the phone aside, Cao Zhen lit another cigarette and smoked slowly, thinking that when he called his uncle, his uncle meant to let him contract as much land as he could, and don't worry about the money.

Cao Zhen actually didn't worry about money, he was more thinking about how to get more land.

Before coming here, Cao Zhen thought that if he had money, he could rent more land to grow cotton, but after he came here, Cao Zhen realized that things were far from that simple.

There are still many difficulties he has to face.

In the dead of night, Cao Zhen also had a thought in his heart, quit and go back to his hometown Caojiazhuang.

But when the sun rose and a new day started, Cao Zhen directly dismissed this idea, and continued to devote himself to the busy day.

He knew very well that he didn't have the two brushes that he gave Xiao Cao Shujie, and it would be useless for him to go back to Cao's village to contract land, plant fruit trees or engage in breeding.

After thinking about it, first of all, we have to do a good job in Xinjiang, and then earn some money and accumulate some capital.

Just thinking about it, Cao Zhen was hungry again, thinking that there was a shop selling baked buns not far from where he was renting, and another one making big plate chicken, Cao Zhen started to get hungry again.

He told Cao Shujie just now that he was not used to the food here, at least this was a lie.

Cao Zhen not only has the habit of eating, but also feels that exotic food has a very unique taste, and he never gets tired of eating it.

Then go to the next door and order a large plate of chicken, Cao Zhen eats it very happily, and finds it very exciting.

He found that the consumption here was similar to that of Pingyuan County.

In the past, he had a salary of more than 3000 yuan in Pingyuan County, and he did not dare to spend it randomly. But since he came here, he has a daily meal allowance of 50 yuan, and his salary is 1 yuan. Now he is open to eat. Don't be afraid to spend your money.

Generally speaking, Cao Zhen still likes coming here.

Coming down from upstairs, Cao Zhen turned to the left, walked more than 100 meters, and saw a shop with "Xinjiang Dapanji" written on the door board. He had been here more than once. After opening the door and entering, Cao Zhen Zhen then shouted to the boss at the opposite counter: "Patigul, bring me a large plate of chicken."

"Please sit down." Patiguli at the counter glanced at Cao Zhen, and then spoke to the back kitchen in local dialect, probably asking the chef to prepare a large plate of chicken.

Cao Zhen saw that besides his table, there were people at two other tables in the store. He thought to himself, can this restaurant make money?

While waiting, Cao Zhen also took out his mobile phone to log in to mobile QQ, thinking of someone to chat with.

Suddenly, someone said: "You are not busy today..."

"Patigul, are you not busy today?" Cao Zhen asked her.

Patiguli, a local female boss with fair skin and a high nose bridge, shook her head: "No, business is difficult now."

Hearing what she said, Cao Zhen agreed, and the two chatted for a while, and someone brought Cao Zhen's large plate of chicken.

Cao Zhen pointed to the big pan chicken that was still steaming, and said to Patigul who hadn't left yet: "Patigul, how about I give you a suggestion?"

"What?" Patiguli asked.

Cao Zhen pointed to the plate of chicken and said: "There are too many peppers and too many potatoes. It is obviously a large plate of chicken. The sign in your store is also like this, but the chicken is the least. If you asked you to choose, would you come here? ?”

Patiguli looked at Cao Zhen and felt a little dazed when he heard his plausible words. This was the first customer to give advice to their store.

But he has been coming to the store to eat for a week, and every time he comes, he must order a large plate of chicken.

Patiguli always thought that Cao Zhen liked this dish very much, but when she heard Cao Zhen's comments on this dish today, she realized that she seemed to have made a mistake.

Thinking of this, Patiguli became more and more confused. She pondered for a while before asking, "Zhen, but I clearly remember that you ate this dish for a week."

"That's right, it's more convincing just because you eat more." Cao Zhen said with a smile.

Hearing Cao Zhen's straightforward words, Patigul didn't even know what to say.

But she still asked: "Since you think this dish is not delicious, why do you still order this dish every time you come here?"

This is the biggest doubt in Patigul's heart.

As soon as she finished asking, Cao Zhen smiled, looked at her and said, "I'm here to see the most beautiful flowers."

"..." Patigul looked at Cao Zhen with a serious face, she almost thought she had heard wrong.

But before she could speak, Cao Zhen excitedly mentioned another matter: "Patigul, didn't you say that the apples I brought were delicious last time, and I asked my friend for them again today. A box can be sent here in about a week, and when the apples arrive, I will send you a few good ones."

Hearing this, Patiguli seemed to have a smile on her face, and she said happily, "Zhen, how much is it, I'll give you the money."

"If you want to give me money, I won't come to give it to you." Cao Zhen shook his head, he is not short of money, what money does he want!
"But your apples are really delicious, even more delicious than the candied apples we grow here." Patiguli said.

When Cao Zhen heard this name suddenly, he felt like he had heard it somewhere before.

Afterwards, he asked Patigul in detail about the 'Sugar Apple'. After Patigul finished speaking, Cao Zhen also wanted to know where he heard the name.

"Zuo Le told me on the train. He also said that he would come here to buy a batch of Bingtangxin apples. I really didn't expect that the price of these apples in this small town is not very high." Cao Zhen thought to himself.
-
Before I knew it, two more days passed.

This morning, Cao Shujie fastened the leashes of the four dogs and prepared to take them out for a walk in the mountains.

But the little pug behind him barked wildly.

Seeing the pug barking, Mengmeng stomped on the ground and ran over to play with the little pug.

After bringing it back last time, Cao Shujie also shouted on the loudspeaker, but no one came to claim it.

Since this is the case, Cao Shujie is not impolite, he raises it himself, and no one will recognize it again, and he even took a few dogs to the veterinarian for vaccinations.

I took the four dogs, Daha and Erha, out and walked up the mountain.

Cao Shujie greeted the villagers he met on the way, and came to the small two-story building at the foot of the mountain. Cao Shujie thought about going to the house to see if it was suitable, he would choose a good day and move here.

When he opened the door, he couldn't smell anything anymore, but Cao Shujie still had some scruples in his heart, thinking that it would not be too late to wait another month.

It is actually very convenient to be with his parents. There are scenes of his mother cooking for three days a day, but sometimes it feels inconvenient.

Coupled with the fact that the weather is getting colder and colder, Cao Shujie thought about using boilers for heating here, at least it will be warmer by then.

Cao Shujie also thought about asking his parents to come with him and spend the new year here, but the old couple refused.

"Oh hoo!"

Daha saw that the small two-story building and the various decorations in the yard were better than the place where he lived now, and the trouble made Daha even more tempered, and he was about to leave. .

Cao Shujie also said to the four of them: "Don't run anywhere, just wait below, I'll go up and have a look, and we'll leave when we're done."

"Oh, oh!" Erha yelled a few times, and they were lying on the ground one by one, very honest.

Seeing them so obedient, Cao Shujie was also happy.

When he came to the second floor, he pushed open the door and window, and looked at the room that had already been decorated, with independent sanitary bathing. To be honest, it was no worse than the house in the capital, so why bother looking for trouble outside!
　Good night, I will write some sleep, try to form a good habit of finishing one chapter in the morning and one chapter earlier in the evening.
