The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 183 Good Night, The Most Conscientious Boss (5100 words)
Not long after, Mengmeng looked at the canned juice in the small basin and couldn't help but want to drink it. She stretched out her hand to try the bottle again, and it was still cool. Not hot?"

"It's almost ready, Mengmeng, wait a little longer, let's change the water in a later time, it will heat up faster." Cao Shujie said solemnly.

"Really!" Mengmeng's eyes never left the can of juice in the basin, she felt that it was too slow.

Cao Shujie was talking with his daughter when his sister Cao Huifang came out from the kitchen with a plate.

Shouted to the father and daughter around the table: "Brother, Mengmeng, we are ready to eat."

"Wow, it's time to eat, dad, hurry up." Mengmeng was very happy when she heard her aunt talk about eating.

That way, she can drink the juice.

Seeing that her father hadn't moved, Mengmeng urged her again. She pointed to the juice in the small basin and asked, "Dad, is the juice ready?"

"Let me see, don't worry about it." Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng pressed her little hand on the edge of the table, and she said weakly: "Oh!"

Cao Huifang next to her saw her niece anxious and helpless, she wanted to laugh inexplicably.

But there are still dishes in the kitchen, so she went to work again.

Cao Shujie watched his daughter pursing her lips and looking at the juice frequently. He stopped being cute and took out the soda can from the basin. It was still a little cold to the touch. He changed the pot of hot water to scald the juice. Pulling the ring, she said to Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, go and get a small bowl, I'll pour juice for you."

"Okay!" Mengmeng was happy this time, she turned around and ran towards the kitchen, shouting as she ran, "Mom, help me get a small bowl, I want to drink juice, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile, took out a small stainless steel bowl from the cabinet, and handed it to Mengmeng.

After a while, Mengmeng ran into the living room with a small stainless steel bowl in her hands. She put the small bowl on the table and looked at Cao Shujie eagerly: "Dad, the bowl is here. Help me pour it out, thank you."

A 'thank you' made Cao Shujie feel happy. He poured half a bowl for his daughter in a hurry, and said, "Drink, I'll pour it for you when you're done."

"But we can't just drink, we have to eat later, you know." Cao Shujie looked at his daughter with a smile and said.

But it was useless, when he told her, Mengmeng had already picked up the small bowl and finished drinking with her little head raised.

The whole set of movements was sneaky, as if she was afraid that her father would go back on his word and not let her drink juice.

After finishing drinking, she turned the bowl upside down and showed it to Cao Shujie: "Look, Dad, the juice is gone!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she then put the small stainless steel bowl on the table: "Dad, pour me a little more."

But when Cao Shujie saw that his daughter's bowl was empty so quickly, he said with a straight face. "Mengmeng, if you do this again, I won't pour juice for you."

But Mengmeng still looked at the juice bottle eagerly, and didn't hear what her father said at all.

"Father, pour me another drop." Mengmeng had a negotiating tone.

Cao Shujie shook his head: "Eat first, after you have some food, I'll pour it for you."

When Mengmeng heard her father say that, her eyes fell on the plate on the table. Seeing that it was a plate of vegetables, she shook her head and didn't want to eat it.

Cao Huifang just came out with two more dishes.

One of the plates was braised pork, and the other was beef balls made by myself. Mengmeng pointed to the beef balls and said, "Dad, I'll eat that."

"Okay!" Cao Shujie went to the kitchen to get a small bowl, put the meatballs in the bowl for his daughter, and watched her eat slowly. At this time, Cao Shujie always had an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Mengmeng, you are so sensible!" He also said so.

After Cheng Xiaolin and her mother-in-law Wang Yuelan finished cooking, they came out with the remaining three dishes, and the family sat around the dining table, chatting about the orchard on the mountain while eating.

Cao Jianguo also asked about his son's interview today.

Cao Shujie said: "Dad, Master Zhuang was also introduced by Brother Chao. I had a brief chat with him in the morning. He is also a relatively honest type. If he does work, he will do it if someone directs him."

"Overall, it's still possible," Cao Shujie said.

He is very clear that no one can find a perfect person, and everyone will always have one or another problem.

When Cao Jianguo heard his son say that, he didn't ask any more questions.

After eating, Cao Shujie cleaned up the dishes and prepared to go up the mountain.

Cheng Xiaolin called to him: "Shujie, I bought all the glutinous rice balls, don't you take them and share them."

"I'm still thinking about the Lantern Festival in two days." Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin reminded him: "What if Brother Chao and Master Zhu finish buying glutinous rice balls in two days?"

"That's right." After Cao Shujie thought for a while, he had an idea in his mind.

Now that the temperature is low, even if there is no refrigerator on the mountain, take it up and hang it in a shady place outside, and you don’t have to worry about the glutinous rice balls melting.

He said, "Give me six bags, and I will give two bags to each of the three of them."

This means that the newcomer Zhuang Xuesong also has a share.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't care about these things, she found three bags, put two bags of glutinous rice balls of different flavors in each bag, went back to the living room, and handed three bags of glutinous rice balls to her husband Cao Shujie: "here, take it up .”

Not long after, Cao Shujie rode an electric bike up the mountain with three handbags filled with glutinous rice balls.

At home, Cheng Xiaolin and her mother-in-law were discussing about buying vegetables in the supermarket today, and Wang Yuelan felt that the vegetables were expensive again.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't take it seriously. When she heard her mother-in-law say this, she said, "Mom, it's not over yet. Is it normal that vegetable prices are high now?"

"What's normal? It's not normal at all. I saw that the price of pork has indeed come down, but the price of vegetables is even more expensive than it was a year ago. It's not normal at all." Wang Yuelan didn't understand the truth, but she Know the most basic truth.

"The money is gone again," she said.

Cheng Xiaolin agrees with this point very much. According to the official words, prices have risen again.

……

On the mountain, after Cao Shujie came up on his electric scooter, he immediately called Cao Shuchao, Zhu Shengliang and Zhuang Xuesong who had just arrived to the hut.

Just when the three people were puzzled, Cao Shujie didn't say too much nonsense, he simply said to the three people: "Brother Chao, Master Zhu, Master Zhuang, the Lantern Festival will be celebrated soon, and I don't have anything else to do here Things, it happened that my wife went to the town to buy some more glutinous rice balls, you two bags per person, take them home and let the family taste the taste."

"There are not many things, and it is my heart." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Shuchao and Zhu Shengliang looked at the glutinous rice balls in the bag with smiles on their faces, not surprised at all by Cao Shujie's actions.

But Zhuang Xuesong, who just came today, was a little at a loss. He pointed his finger at himself and asked, "Boss Cao, I just came today. You mean I have one too?"

How could he not believe it so much!
But Cao Shujie explained to him very seriously: "Yes, you have passed the interview, and now you are considered a long-term employee of our orchard."

Cao Shujie said louder and louder: "No matter how long you work, even if you only work for one day, since we catch up with our welfare, you will have a share of this!"

Zhuang Xuesong has never heard of this kind of argument. When he thinks about working for other people, he can't wait to find various reasons to shirk and send you less things. He has never heard of people rushing to give things to others .

At this time, Cao Shujie's behavior completely overturned Zhuang Xuesong's view of Cao Shujie in his heart.

He thought in his heart: "After I get off work later, I will ask Xiaochao to find out what Boss Cao is like."

But in fact, with the incident just now, Zhuang Xuesong's impression of Cao Shujie has changed a lot. He thinks that Cao Shujie's behavior should not be bad.

……

When it was time to get off work, Zhu Shengliang stayed on for today's night shift, and Zhuang Xuesong and Cao Shuchao came down from the orchard together.

At the intersection on the west side, when Cao Shuchao and Zhuang Xuesong were about to go home separately, seeing that Cao Shuchao was about to leave, Zhuang Xuesong quickly stopped him: "Brother Cao, wait a minute."

"Brother Song, what's the matter?" Cao Shuchao wondered, what's the matter?
Then I heard Zhuang Xuesong asking him: "Brother Chao, to be honest, you have worked here the longest. What do you think of Boss Cao?"

"Brother Song, what do you mean?" Cao Shuchao didn't understand.

Zhuang Xuesong is not a person who can speak well, he thought for a while, and then said: "What do you think of Boss Cao?"

"Brother Song, let me tell you this." Cao Shuchao looked at him seriously, and said, "I have been working with others since I was a teenager, and it has been almost 20 years now. Jie is definitely the most conscientious boss I have ever met while working."

Speaking of this, he lifted the bag containing the glutinous rice balls and asked Zhuang Xuesong: "Brother Song, I'm not greedy for petty gains, I just want to ask you something, you have been working for so many years, and during the holidays, how many bosses have sent you things. "

This sentence stopped Zhuang Xuesong.

For a very simple matter, Zhuang Xuesong can give the answer without even thinking about it.

This is the first time he has recovered glutinous rice balls after working for so many years.

In the past, there were two places that gave out a bucket of peanut oil during the Chinese New Year, but they only received it twice, and have not received anything since then.

Cao Shuchao continued: "Brother Song, don't blame your brother for speaking badly. Although our place is not big, and we haven't left the countryside, but as long as you work for a long time, you will know that our place is really not much worse than working outside. "

"How to say?" Zhuang Xuesong was very angry.

Cao Shuchao thought for a while, and said to Zhuang Xuesong: "Shujie should tell you, we pay wages at the end of each month. After a month, in addition to normal wages, we also have bonuses according to individual performance. ?”

"Yes, he told me, but this is not just for him to say casually..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Shuchao: "Brother Song, if you think that way, you are making a big mistake!"

Cao Shuchao stretched out four fingers and said, "I started working with Shujie in October last year. In the past four months, I have received a bonus every month."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and then said: "And during the Chinese New Year, Shujie also sent a lot of things."

Zhuang Xuesong thought that Cao Shujie was joking, but he didn't expect it to be true.

When he wanted to say something, Cao Shuchao had already gone home.

Zhuang Xuesong stood there thinking for a while, and finally walked home with two bags of glutinous rice balls.

On the way, he thought a lot.

Originally, he just wanted to work temporarily at Cao Shujie's place for a while, but what happened today made Zhuang Xuesong change his mind.

When Cao Shujie came down from the mountain, his wife had already prepared dinner, and the whole family was waiting for him to eat.

……

The arrival of Zhuang Xuesong greatly eased the shortage of manpower in Cao Shujie's place.

From this day on, Cao Shujie's orchard has been steadily moving forward at a pace every day.

Soon, the Lantern Festival passed, and Cao Shujie's younger sister, Cao Huifang, returned to Yiling City by car to continue her schooling.

Before leaving, Cao Huifang also said that Cao Shujie must call when the strawberries are ripe.

Cao Shujie readily agreed.

After sending his sister away, the house instantly became much quieter.

But after Cao Huifang left, another problem came to light.

No one in the family can subdue Mengmeng, even Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin can't fight, Mengmeng doesn't listen to them at all.

Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were so angry that they wanted to beat her up many times to make Mengmeng remember, but who knew that the little guy would run to Mengmeng and Cao Zhenghu, shouting to let the old man decide for her.

She discovered a little secret. When her parents threatened to beat her up, as long as she ran to the grandfather and hid, her father and mother would stop beating her. This little discovery made Mengmeng proud for a long time.

But Cao Zhenghu has lived a long time, he is like a mirror in his heart, he will turn a blind eye to the mischievous Mengmeng as long as he doesn't make a big mistake.

But there was no Ren Mengmeng being mischievous. Sometimes, Cao Zhenghu would explain some simple truths to Mengmeng.

He believes that Mengmeng may not understand it now, but as she grows older, she will understand one day.

Time continued to pass, and the first month was coming to an end, and the temperature began to rise slowly. With the sun shining during the day, I felt warm and comfortable all over my body.

This morning, after Cao Shujie came back from walking his dog, he ate some food at home, and then took Dahei and Erhei to the mountain.

During the recent period, the 136 calves sent over after the new year were full of food and adapted to the sexual environment. After running Qi Ali, they were very happy, but this added a heavy workload to Cao Shujie and the others.
Cao Shujie has a total of 117 mu of land, but there are too few calves. After Cao Shujie and the others found that they couldn't keep up with the dogs that were having fun, they had to consider external help.

The first helper Cao Shujie thought of was the dog at home. He thought that the dog must be able to run so fast.

Cheng Xiaolin was cleaning up the housework at home, and Mengmeng spilled a bag of toys on the floor in the living room. She sat among the toys, playing with one for a while, and looking at the other for a while.

Cheng Xiaolin told her after seeing it: "Mengmeng, if you don't play for a while, put away all the toys, or I'll throw them in the trash can for you later."

"Oh!" Mengmeng responded, and she didn't know that she really understood it from time to time, and then took a realistic excavator and began to fiddle with it.

But within a few strokes, the bucket of the excavator was broken off by her. Mengmeng looked at the bucket in her hand, and then looked at the bare rocker arm in front of the excavator. She wondered what was going on. ?

"Grandpa, look, it's broken." Mengmeng pouted and said aggrievedly.

Cao Zhenghu didn't know how to repair this thing, he saw his great-granddaughter wanted to cry, so he said to her: "Mengmeng, let's go, grandpa will take you to the village."

"Okay." Mengmeng was happy when she heard that she was going out to play.

But I didn't forget to sit up quickly and quickly put the toys into the plastic bag.

After she finished packing, she dragged the plastic bag containing the toys to the utility room, then ran out and said to Cao Zhenghu, "Grandpa, I've packed everything."

"Isn't it? Mengmeng is really a good and sensible child." Cao Zhenghu praised her.

Looking at the sun outside, Cao Zhenghu said again: "Then let's go, we'll be back later."

Mengmeng nodded: "Okay."

"Do you want to walk?" Mengmeng asked before leaving the door.

Cao Zhenghu shook his head: "Let's ride a tricycle."

He has a strong physique, and he does not look old at all when he walks, and he does not look over 80 years old at all.

Before going out, Mengmeng also knew to say to her mother: "Mom, I'm going out to play with grandpa."

"Mengmeng, where are you going with grandpa?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.

Mengmeng looked at her mother with a grin, she didn't know.

Cao Zhenghu said: "Linlin, I'll take Mengmeng to our old house and talk to some old guys."

"Okay, Grandpa, please ride slowly." Cheng Xiaolin told him.

She wasn't worried that Cao Zhenghu couldn't ride an electric tricycle.

In fact, Cao Zhenghu rode quite steadily, but his speed was not fast.

Holding Mengmeng into the car, Cao Zhenghu rode the electric tricycle, shifted the third gear to the lowest gear, and the grandpa and grandson walked out slowly.

At this time, the sun was already hanging in the air, and the sun shone on my body, which was warm and pleasant, and I didn't feel cold.

Cao Zhenghu didn't ride fast either. He took his great-granddaughter to the street, and when he saw someone, he stopped the car and chatted with the person.

At this time, Mengmeng will also be very sensible to call people in the car.

"Brother Hu, go to my house for a drink at noon." When Cao Zhenghu and Mengmeng were riding past the village committee compound, several people from the village committee had just finished the work meeting on "Responding to the economic development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers" and were coming from the compound. in and out.

When they saw Cao Zhenghu, several people stopped him and greeted him.

Accountant Cao Zhengyin took the lead in calling him to eat at home.

But Cao Zhenghu refused. He looked at the few people coming out of the compound, pointed to Mengmeng sitting in the car bucket, and said, "Jiangang, Zhengyin, I'm taking Mengmeng out to play. Her mother is already there." We're cooking at home, we'll have to go back later."

"Uncle Hu, come to my place at noon. I'll call Shujie later and ask him to come over with me." Cao Jiangang said with a small calculation in mind.

But Cao Zhenghu still didn't go, he said, "I'll take Mengmeng for a walk."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhenghu didn't stay any longer and continued to walk south.

He knew that these people had big plans, and he didn't really want to be tricked by them.
