Chapter 172 Good Night
"Dad, set off the fireworks quickly, hurry up." Mengmeng couldn't wait, and began to urge her father.

Hearing what Mengmeng said, the others also began to urge: "Master Dog, hurry up."

"..."

The sudden appearance of the nickname made the scene silent for a few seconds, and then a burst of laughter broke out.

Cao Shujie was also depressed when he heard this nickname. His feelings were not only called by people in the county, but also in Caojiazhuang.

Cao Shujie felt that with this nickname alone, he was well-known within Pingyuan County this time.

"Whoever gave me this nickname, if you have the ability to stand up, the two of us will fight each other, and I promise not to break your leg." Cao Shujie scolded with a smile.

The villagers around didn't care, everyone was waiting for Cao Shujie to set off the fireworks.

I saw Cao Shujie walking to the center of the arena holding a 50cm square firework carton, holding a flashlight in one hand and a windproof lighter in the other hand, and ran back quickly after lighting the fuse.

Before he ran to the crowd, there was a 'bang' sound behind him, and then the dark area instantly turned into five colors, reflecting all kinds of lights on the audience around him, and Cao Shujie didn't After running away, he turned around and calmed down to enjoy the fireworks rising from the scene.

All the people watching cheered.

There are also fireworks in the countryside, but not many.

Except for those who have a lot of money in their hands, most of the rest of the people will choose to save their money. They will not buy so many fireworks for fun like Cao Shujie. For them, this is too much money.

But no one thought that Cao Shujie, an outlier like Cao Shujie, would dare to play like this in Caojiazhuang.

Many people looked at the busy figure in the middle of the field, their eyes were full of envy.

"If I had Brother Jie's ability, I wouldn't go out. It would be boring to earn some money outside." Someone whispered to the person next to him.

The person next to him was Cao Shuai, one of the two people who worked for Cao Jianhua's pig farm.

All the fattening pigs in Cao Jianhua's pig farm were cleaned up yesterday, and the Chinese New Year was coming up in a few days, so Cao Jianhua took advantage of the situation to give him and Cao Jianjun a holiday.

Hearing what he said, Cao Shuai said with a smile: "Wan Chun, if you don't want to go out, I can introduce you to work with Uncle Jianhua, will you go?"

"Feed the pigs?" Cao Wanchun shook his head and said after listening, "That smell is too bad, I can't do that job."

Cao Shuai didn't even want to talk to him, but he still asked, "Wan Chun, what do you do outside? How much money do you earn a month?"

"I am doing maintenance in the factory, and the insurance is deducted for a month, which is only 1800 yuan." Cao Wanchun said.

He said in a low voice: "The salary is neither high nor low, just looking for leisure, and you can learn a craft after a long time."

"Oh, 1800 is really not low." Cao Shuai said so, and then there was no response.

Cao Wanchun felt uncomfortable, so he deliberately asked: "Then how much do you pay for a month at home?"

"It's not a lot. My job is quite tiring. I can get it in a month. There is no insurance." Cao Shuai acted like I am not as good as you.

Hearing what Cao Shuai said, Cao Wanchun felt uncomfortable. He knew very well that if Cao Shuai's income was really similar to his, then he would be far behind Cao Shuai.

After all, Cao Shuai is in his hometown, regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Cao Shuai's consumption is almost nothing.

But Cao Wanchun needed money for renting a house, eating, transportation, etc., and the 1800 yuan he earned would be gone by the end of the month.

While the two of them were talking, Cao Shujie waited for the firework just finished, and then lit another firework.

This firework is also known as the rotating pear flower. From the bottom to the sky, it always blooms dazzling silver light in the rotation. People who don't know will have to guess that aliens have invaded after seeing this strange appearance. .

That night, Cao Shujie set off fireworks continuously for more than half an hour after almost all the people arrived, making the people who came over have a good time, and some people were discussing who would come to relay tomorrow night.

Don't hide the fireworks you bought in your own home and appreciate them, take them out and enjoy them.

……

Another two days passed in a blink of an eye. During these two days, Cao Shujie visited several elders and gave some New Year gifts to the elders in the family.

Or take his grandpa to visit his old buddies and pick up something by the way.

Until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cao Shujie got up early in the morning and started cleaning and packing up.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and he has to prepare some New Year's goods.

"Shujie, kill those two chickens and stew them later." Cheng Xiaolin was busy in the kitchen and shouted outside.

Cao Shujie was chatting with his grandfather and playing with Mengmeng outside at the moment. After hearing his wife's order, Cao Shujie went outside to catch chickens in the dog cage without saying a word.

These two chickens were brought over by his father Cao Jianguo two days ago and asked him to kill them during the Chinese New Year and stew them in advance for later use.

Cao Shujie was not polite to his father either.

When he was killing chickens with a knife, Mengmeng squatted down to watch, and asked him from time to time: "Dad, what are you doing?"

"Kill the chicken and make chicken for you, understand?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Mengmeng blinked her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Kill the chicken, knife!"

"Yes!" Cao Shujie nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, Mengmeng ran into the house, which confused Cao Shujie.

After a while, I saw my daughter running out with a red plastic toy knife, and she handed the toy knife to Cao Shujie: "Dad, knife, here it is!"

Cao Shujie looked at the big plastic knife in his daughter's hand, and was a little dazed.

Just now I was thinking about what Mengmeng was going to do, but I didn't expect that she would bring her toy knife and let her father kill chickens.

"Mengmeng, thank you!" Cao Shujie gestured: "Your knife is not good, it's too big, and the chicken is too small..."

Cao Huifang couldn't help laughing as she listened to her brother's serious nonsense.

But what she didn't expect was that Mengmeng was not happy when she heard her laugh, and rushed towards her with a toy machete in his hand, waving the plastic machete in his hand, looking like he wanted to chop her up with a knife.

Cao Huifang stood up and ran, shouting to the back as she ran, "Mengmeng, what do you want to do, murder your aunt?"

"Pfft..." Mengmeng spat out with her mouth pouted, and she said, "Let you bully me and beat you up!"

Mengmeng was very angry with her aunt, waving the big knife back and forth in her hand, driving her aunt around the sofa in the living room.

After the old man Cao Zhenghu saw it, he was immediately amused.

When Cao Shujie finished with the two chickens, Mengmeng lost to her aunt again, and was being held by Cao Huifang's armpit in circles. Mengmeng kept shouting "let me go", but every time she turned around, she still made a sound. Hehe laughter.

When Cao Huifang put her down, Mengmeng was unhappy again, and had to ask her aunt Cao Huifang to take her around again.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't bother to take care of them. She was busy washing pork, beef and mutton. The water had been changed several times, but it was still bloody. Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband: "Shujie, are you done with your work? If you are done, you can go Take out the meat grinder and grind some minced pork and beef later, and make balls."

"Okay, I'll mince the minced meat right now." Cao Shujie was very quick.

But just as Cao Shujie found the meat grinder, before he had time to grind the meat, a familiar voice came from outside the gate.

"Shujie, are you home?"

"Wow, woof, woof!" Dahei yelled at the gate when he smelled a strange smell.

This series of dog barking startled the people outside the door.

Cao Shujie, who was preparing to mince meat in the room, was also taken aback for a moment, and he called out, "Cao Zhen?"

"Dahei, don't bark!" Cao Shujie scolded it, put down his work, wiped his hands with two pieces of tissue paper, and walked towards the gate.

It was his little Cao Zhen standing at the gate.

But compared to a few months ago, Cao Zhen has gained a lot of weight, his skin is a little darker than before, but he looks healthier this way.

Still carrying a few bags in his hand, after seeing Cao Shujie, a pure smile appeared on his chubby face.

Cao Shujie walked a few steps quickly and came to the gate: "Have you finished reporting work at your company?"

"I finished the report yesterday. It's a holiday. If I don't have a holiday, can I come back to see you?" Cao Zhen kept looking at the two-story building as he spoke.

It is different from the rough houses in the past. After the decoration is completed, the furniture is added, which is not much different from the small villas that Cao Zhen saw in the villa area.

"That's great!" Cao Zhen sighed.

"What are you doing standing at the door, come in and have a cup of tea." Cao Shujie pulled him towards the house.

Turning into the yard from the gate, Cao Zhen was startled when he saw the four dogs: "How did they grow so big?"

"What you said is really incompetent. Daha and Erha are almost a year old, and Dahei and Xiaohei are 10 months old. Can they not grow up?" Cao Shujie asked Daha, Erha and the others. Wave them back to the kennel.

Cao Zhen looked at the four dogs with great interest: "Shujie, it's because of these four dogs that you were nicknamed 'Grandpa Dog', right?"

"Don't you don't know which pot is not open, if I know who gave me such a bad nickname, I will beat him up!" Cao Shujie said cursingly.

He thinks this nickname is really ugly.

When Cao Zhen heard what he said, he couldn't help laughing.

After entering the house, Cao Zhen talked about his going to Xinjiang, but Cao Shujie was not at all interested in how he contracted the land and how he planted cotton after the spring. He asked, "Cao Zhen, to be honest, are you in Did you find someone in Xinjiang?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie stared at him without blinking and sent Xiao Cao Zhen a look, which confirmed Cao Shujie's guess.

"Is it strange for me to find a partner over there? Besides, I'm already my age, so I should find someone!" Cao Zhen said.

Cao Shujie sighed, and asked him, "Then will you come back in the future? Or are you planning to stay in Xinjiang for a long time?"

After a pause, Cao Shujie asked again: "What do you think about my uncle and auntie?"

"You are just like my mother!" Cao Zhen complained about him.

Having said that, he still said: "[-]% will come back."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhen told about Patigul's life experience.

After listening to him, Cao Shujie also felt sympathy for Patiguli: "So she is the only one left in your partner's house?"

Cao Zhen nodded, and he said: "When you see your sister-in-law in the future, you can't talk about this issue, or I will cut you off."

"..." Cao Shujie looked confused.

Co-authoring with a woman puts the 'brother' underfoot.

"Brother Zhen, when did you come back?" Cheng Xiaolin came out of the kitchen, and when she saw Cao Zhen, she took the initiative to say hello.

Seeing her, Cao Zhen smiled and said, "I came back last night, it was too late, otherwise I would have come to look for you yesterday."

Cheng Xiaolin nodded, and when she saw the daughter who had just run down from the second floor, she waved to her: "Mengmeng, come here and call me uncle."

Mengmeng is very well-behaved, ran over and called 'Master', coaxing Cao Zhen very happy, he handed the things just brought in to Mengmeng, said: "This is a special product I brought back from Xinjiang, Mengmeng Meng, try it."

If it was someone else's, Cao Shujie would simply reject it, but Cao Zhen wouldn't. He said to his daughter, "Mengmeng, eat quickly."

Then he said to his daughter: "Mengmeng, don't hurry up and thank you uncle."

"Thank you, sir!" Mengmeng became very happy when she heard that there was something to eat, she carried a few bags with some difficulty and went to study slowly.

"Have they all come back?" Cao Shujie thought that it would be better to hit the sun than to choose another day. If Cao Fei, Cao Shulun, Cao Shuyang and Cao Tiemin all came back, they might as well get together today.

But Cao Zhen didn't know either. He said, "I haven't asked them yet, so I probably haven't come back yet."

"I'll call and ask." Cao Shujie said.

But after a round of phone calls, only two of the other four came back. Cao Shuyang still had a night shift, so he didn't come back until tomorrow.

Cao Shulun is still working in the factory, and he will have a holiday until tomorrow's New Year's Eve!
"Never mind the two of them. I'll call Cao Fei and Cao Tiemin over. The four of us will have a drink today." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Zhen wanted to refuse at first, but seeing Cao Shujie take out a bottle of Wuliangye, he swallowed his refusal again.

"So extravagant?" Cao Zhen asked him.

Who knew that Cao Shujie said without turning his head: "You forced Xiaoyi to leave for half a year, and it's hard to come back and treat you with Wuliangye, it's not a loss!"

"Master Dog is bright!" Cao Zhen said.

Cheng Xiaolin next to her couldn't help laughing when she heard it.

Mengmeng didn't know what her mother was laughing at, but it didn't prevent her from giggling too.

Seeing his daughter's stupid appearance, Cao Shujie felt happy in his heart.

He said to Cao Zhen: "Cao Zhen, it's really time for you to come. The big rooster I just stewed in the morning, I will make two bowls of pure beef balls and pork balls later, and two vegetarian dishes today, okay?"

"Why not, just make a plate of pickles!" Cao Zhen said.

But Cao Shujie was not happy, and kept talking about what to prepare.

When Cao Fei and Cao Tiemin came over, Cheng Xiaolin had already prepared the dishes, and the four of them got together to drink.

 8000 today, I'm a little tired, I will definitely make up for it this week, the old tree is not bad.
