The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 165 Mengmeng, You Are Really Annoying (Tomorrow 15000)

"Dad, look, it's a beautiful cannon." Mengmeng rode on Cao Shujie's shoulder, hugging his father's forehead with one hand, and grabbing his hair with the other hand, telling him to look east.

Seeing a shadow in front of him, Cao Shujie hurriedly said, "Mengmeng, take it easy, it's almost hitting my eye."

This girl is really hopeless!

When Mengmeng heard her father's shout, she lowered the hand holding her forehead, hooked her father's neck again, and continued to shout with her small mouth: "Dad, you look good, hurry up."

I don't know how she came up with this name. Cao Shujie saw that the row was full of fireworks booths, and called his wife to come to the booth and pay.

When he got to the front, he first corrected his daughter: "Mengmeng, these are fireworks, not pretty cannons."

"Oh, Fireworks." Mengmeng repeated the name several times, remembering the name.

After Cheng Xiaolin saw the fireworks on the booth, she wanted to set off some, so she pointed to one of them and asked, "Boss, how much money are you getting rich in four seasons?"

"This one, it can be sprayed four or five meters high, and it drives beautifully. There are only the last two big ones left. If it's cheaper, I'll sell it to you for 25. If it works, I'll take it away." The boss said that you are taking advantage of it. .

Hearing what he said, Cheng Xiaolin didn't even bother to bargain, and took her husband's hand and went to the next booth.

The boss who sold the fireworks saw that there was still this operation, so he hurriedly greeted: "Big sister, come back quickly, I will give you a cheaper price."

"How much is the cheapest?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him directly.

"Big sister, how many do you want to buy? If you buy more, I'll give you 20 pieces. I guarantee that this is the lowest price on today's fair. Do you want big sister?" The fireworks seller said "big girl" , appearing particularly sincere.

But Cheng Xiaolin still dragged Cao Shujie to the next fireworks booth.

Cao Shujie looked at his wife's straightforwardness and asked her, "Wife, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"About 15." Cheng Xiaolin pointed to the direction they came from, and said, "You were patronizing to play with Mengmeng just now, but you didn't see that there was also a stall over there. The same fireworks were sold for 19 yuan each, and the quantity was large. The price can be reduced to 16 yuan."

"Just now, this one is 6 yuan more expensive than others. What are we doing with that unjust money?" After Cheng Xiaolin finished speaking, she pulled her husband's sleeve and walked forward without looking back.

No matter how the boss who sold the fireworks called just now, he didn't look back?
Cao Shujie praised her: "Honey, you can do it!"

"It's not bad." Cheng Xiaolin accepted the compliment with a smile, and she didn't forget to say: "It's not like some people who know how to play after they come here. They don't pay attention to anything and don't observe. If they really buy something, they deserve to be scammed." .”

Cao Shujie touched his nose in embarrassment, it was obviously him.

But Cao Shujie asked himself, if it was him just now, it is really possible to buy those fireworks without bargaining.

The couple walked in together, and there were more and more people. Mengmeng sat on her father's shoulders, sitting high and looking far away. She pointed in one direction from time to time and said fireworks.

It’s impossible not to buy some fireworks today, I have to set off some when I go back tonight, otherwise Mengmeng will not give up.

Coming to another booth, Cheng Xiaolin pointed to a firework similar to that of Siji Fa Cai just now and asked the owner of the booth how much the firework was.

"Well, 22 a piece, if you want more, we can still get it cheaper." The owner of the stall said.

Hearing what he said, Cheng Xiaolin looked back at her husband and cast a look, as if to say: "You see, I'm right?"

Cao Shujie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, watching his wife and the owner of the booth start to negotiate the price again, abruptly lowering the price from 22 yuan to 17 yuan. Yau, don't say anything, or I won't be able to do this business."

Cao Shujie felt that what he said was ironic. I am afraid that the boss would like the couple to help publicize that the fireworks at this booth are cheap and affordable.

"The boss is getting rich." Cheng Xiaolin bought 10 of them at once, and seeing the smile on the boss's face, Cao Shujie knew he still had some money to make.
Putting the fireworks on the trolley and continuing to walk in, Cheng Xiaolin felt more and more awkward as she walked, the trolley was filled with 10 fireworks, and it was difficult to buy other things.

Moreover, the fireworks are square and take up a lot of space. Now that there are so many people, they use small carts to pull the fireworks in, and they can't squeeze them in at all.

No way, I found a shop along the roadside, Cao Shujie asked his wife and daughter to wait inside, he pulled the cart back to put down the fireworks, and then came back with the cart to find his wife and children, and walked in together.

Mengmeng thought it was very lively, but Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin really didn't think it was so good.

There are people everywhere, listening to other people's voices, it is really lively, but it is very inconvenient to buy things.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Hey, Cao... Cao... Cao Shujie, is that you?"

Cao Shujie followed the sound, only to find that there was a fluffy-haired woman in the northwest corner of where he was standing, and a woman of about the same age greeted him.

"You are?" Cao Shujie looked at her, feeling a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember who she was.

Cheng Xiaolin was standing beside Cao Shujie, she also saw this man calling her husband, and was wondering who she was?What does it have to do with her husband?
But when she turned her head and saw the expression on her husband's face, Cheng Xiaolin no longer had the desire to ask for answers, and felt inexplicably relieved.

After a while, the other party came over, stood opposite Cao Shujie, looked at Cao Shujie and said, "I said old classmate, you didn't recognize me, then I'm really sad."

"Hey, you are that... that Shen Yun, right? The old man with the nose?" A nickname popped up in Cao Shujie's head.

Shen Yun, with fluffy hair, laughed and scolded after hearing this nickname: "You still remember. I thought you forgot. You and Shao Guoyang gave me a nickname back then. I was so angry that I wanted to tell the teacher. How could you be like this?" Nicknames for girls."

Cao Shujie even forgot why he gave Shen Yun the nickname Old Man, so he directly introduced to his wife: "Honey, this is Shen Yun, my junior high school classmate."

Then he introduced his wife to Shen Yun: "This is my wife Cheng Xiaolin."

"And my daughter Mengmeng."

After Cheng Xiaolin finished listening, she took the initiative to shake hands with the other party. The two sides exchanged a few words, and Shen Yun personally broke the news: "Old classmate, you don't know that Shao Guoyang and I are married."

"..." Cao Shujie had nothing to say.

He was curious: "How did the two of you walk together?"

"Who asked the two of you to give me a nickname? After finishing college, he went to work in the chemical factory in the county. I was working in the factory next door. I happened to meet him. When I remembered the nickname, I was ready to clean up. He has a meal..."

"Then people didn't clean it up, and put themselves in." Cao Shujie laughed and teased.

He thought it was very fun to meet old classmates from junior high school, especially old classmates who had some special communication.

I thought to myself: "If I didn't go to the capital, if we meet, will I be miserable?"

Cheng Xiaolin obviously thought of this question too.

Shen Yun bought a house on the opposite side of the street and opened a delicatessen. Just in time for the Chinese New Year crowds, she had to visit the shop.

The two sides chatted for a few more words, Cao Shujie and his wife continued to walk in with Mengmeng, Cheng Xiaolin put her hand on Cao Shujie's arm and twisted it half a circle.

Cao Shujie grinned his teeth in pain and sweated on his forehead, but he didn't dare to cry out.

Cheng Xiaolin thought it was funny seeing her husband like that.

"Shujie, I really didn't expect that you even gave girls nicknames."

"Is it a bit regretful that I didn't come back to my hometown to work earlier? If so, maybe I can form a good marriage with my childhood sweetheart."

Regardless of the crowds around, Cao Shujie pulled her over and slapped her on the butt: "You bitch is simply unreasonable, I think you deserve a spanking."

After Cheng Xiaolin was slapped, she immediately became honest. She covered her butt with her backhand, fearing that she would be beaten again, and also gritted her teeth at her husband. This bastard has no intention of pity.

Her teeth were itching with hatred in her heart, when she suddenly heard her husband swear: "Honey, let me tell you, I have nothing to do with her."

Who knew Cheng Xiaolin then raised her eyebrows and said, "I know, didn't your female classmate just say that she married your male classmate, what else do you think?"

"Then why are you twisting me?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Cheng Xiaolin groaned and said, "You still hit me, what do you think?"

When Cao Shujie was thinking of talking, Mengmeng who was sitting on his shoulder suddenly shouted: "Mom and Dad, you two are fighting, I will tell grandma."

"What a trap!" Cao Shujie thought to himself.

He pretended not to hear and continued walking.

Seeing the expression on her husband's face, Cheng Xiaolin wanted to laugh.

There were fireworks, and when they saw an old man selling handwritten couplets, Cao Shujie bought a lot in the past, and they were going to take them home and paste them.

After paying the money and leaving, Cheng Xiaolin asked him, "Husband, the one next to it is more beautifully printed, why don't you buy that one."

"Wife, you see, this old man is writing Spring Festival couplets during this time to sell some money for living expenses, right?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin thought about it!
At Li Jiagen's place, Cao Shujie ordered 50 catties of beef and 20 catties of mutton at one go, and asked him to order half a fan of grain-fed pork, and asked him the current price of meat by the way.

Not surprisingly, the prices of pork, beef, and mutton have risen to varying degrees throughout the year, with mutton rising slightly, pork rising next, and beef rising the most.

Li Jiagen doesn't have that much meat here, and Cao Shujie can't take so much, so he said to Li Jiagen: "Uncle Gen, send me home if you have time."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Uncle Gen, if you go at night, I'll buy you another drink."

Li Jiagen wanted to drink, but he was very busy recently.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, Li Jiagen has endless slaughter of pigs, cattle, and sheep every day. It is an exaggeration to say that he wants to vomit.

Moreover, there are quite a few people who specifically drag their own pigs or sheep to kill them.

Throughout the year, just rely on this time to earn more money.Li Jiagen said that he would not drink at this time, it would easily delay things.

In addition, if Cao Shujie did not buy a lot of meat, Li Jiagen would not be willing to take the job of door-to-door delivery.

He felt that wasting time on the road would be better than killing more pigs, cows, and sheep at home to earn more.

He said: "Xiao Cao, I don't drink recently, I'll see if I can send it to you tonight or tomorrow night, if I can't make it through, I'll ask your brother Xinwu to send it to you."

Having said that, he shouted to the young man next to him: "Xinwu, come and meet you, Brother Jie."

"Brother Jie." Li Xinwu, a young man next to him, called softly.

Cao Shujie responded.

Li Jiagen said to him: "Xinwu, do you not have enough to eat, or what's going on, you can't speak clearly?"

"Brother Jie." Li Xinwu shouted loudly this time.

"Hey, Xinwu, are you on vacation?" Cao Shujie asked him.

"Well, we are on winter vacation." Li Xinwu said.

He doesn't seem to be good at communicating, or is not good at communicating with strangers. After talking with Cao Shujie, he is busy
Cao Shujie didn't care either, he took out five 5-yuan bills and handed them to Li Jiagen: "Uncle Gen, this is a deposit of 500 yuan, you take it first, after you settle the account, send me a message, and I'll give you the rest. "

Li Jiagen was not polite either, he reached out to take the money and put it in his pocket.

After finishing his work, Li Jiagen wanted to give Mengmeng a banana to eat, but was stopped by Cao Shujie: "Uncle Gen, you are busy first, let's go buy something else."

In winter, no matter what fruit you eat, it is very cold.

"Okay, you guys go to work." Li Jiagen waved at them, and after watching Cao Shujie and his family of three walk away, he hurriedly greeted other guests.

Seeing Cao Shujie and the others walking away, the owner of a meat stall next to him asked enviously: "Old Li, you can do it, I saw that he bought from you not once or twice, every time he bought a lot. buy it."

"Hey, I know his father well, Lao Liu, and you know his father too." Li Jiagen said.

"Who is it?" Liu Changgeng didn't think of this person in a daze.

Then I heard Li Jiagen say: "Cao Jianguo, do you still remember Brother Jianguo? There was a stall selling kiwis and apples next to us, did you forget?"

"Speaking of which, you have eaten a lot of kiwi fruit!" Li Jiagen teased him.

Liu Changgeng remembered it now, and he nodded again and again: "Really, when you put it that way, he is quite similar to Brother Jianguo."

"That's right. I'm just lucky. Brother Jianguo's son bought meat from me the first time he came here. After he got cooked, he didn't go to other places to buy meat." Li Jiagen said.

Liu Changgeng felt that Li Jiagen was showing off no matter what he heard.

……

Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin continued to walk forward with Mengmeng, ready to buy some vegetables and seafood. Cheng Xiaolin also asked him: "Husband, why do you buy so much meat?"

"Give some to our parents, some to Brother Chao, and some to Uncle, and the rest to make stewed pork, meatballs, dumplings, for Chinese New Year, just to be happy." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "That's right, it looks like a lot, but one point isn't much."

"Isn't it just, buy more shrimps later, buy some sea fish with fewer spines, and feed them to our grandfather and Mengmeng, what else is there?"

Cao Shujie couldn't remember either.

Mengmeng replied, "Father is so stupid, vegetable."

Cao Shujie slapped himself backhand, and he shouted: "Yes, why did I forget again, we are still cute and smart."

Mengmeng was praised, and she laughed, she was a little smug.She almost fell off her father's shoulders, but fortunately, Cao Shujie kept holding on to her legs, which prevented her from falling off.

Even so, Mengmeng was terrified, she didn't dare to get carried away anymore.

As the end of the year draws to a close, many people working outside have returned.

When Cao Shujie and the others went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, they met three classmates.

Two of them came out to buy vegetables and prepare new year's goods with their families.

There are also those who come back from other places and simply feel that being at home is too boring, so they come to Daji for entertainment.

When they were shopping at the fair, it was already past lunch time before they knew it, and Mengmeng was so hungry that she hugged her belly and yelled.

Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin were also hungry. They walked slowly and saw a mutton soup seller at the market. They smelled the smell of mutton soup nearby. The three of them went straight there.

Cheng Xiaolin went to a nearby stall selling large steamed buns and bought eight pure pork buns, and she had a delicious and delicious lunch together.

Drinking mutton soup, they can feel the freshness of mutton and mutton, and the price is relatively cheap in the countryside, and the quantity is also large, so they eat very vigorously.

"Mom, give me another bun." After Mengmeng finished eating the pork bun, she pointed to the big steamed bun on the table and asked Cheng Xiaolin for it.

Cheng Xiaolin said to her: "You can really eat, you can eat more than me."

Mengmeng looked up at her mother, rolled her eyes, then lowered her head again, and continued to chop mutton and eat steamed buns.

It seemed to say, "I don't even bother to judge you."

Cao Shujie looked at his daughter's young adult appearance, he couldn't help it, and burst out laughing on the spot.

Cheng Xiaolin stared at him, drooped her head while showing Cao Shujie, and hurried to eat.

After having lunch here, Cao Shujie took the two of them to other places for a while, and bought whatever they needed.

They have been playing here until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and then they returned to the parking place and walked home.

Mengmeng in the car kept saying, "Mom and Dad, let's go back and set off the fireworks."

"It won't look good during the day, shall we go to the orchard to set off fireworks at night?" Cheng Xiaolin said.

Mengmeng scratched her head, a little puzzled, always felt that her mother was lying to her.

Cao Shujie also said: "The fireworks are beautiful when they are displayed in the dark. You can't see beautiful flowers when they are displayed now. Dad will take you to set them off at night."

"We'll release them all today, and we'll buy them in two days." Cao Shujie said arrogantly.

Hearing what he said, Mengmeng was very happy: "Father, okay, okay."

When the car returned to Caojiazhuang, Mengmeng was still talking about setting off fireworks when she got out of the car.

Cao Shujie glanced at his wife and thought: "My wife, you are such a good girl."
