Chapter 56 Dad, Buy

Cao Shujie still didn't believe a word of Xia Changhong's words, regardless of whose face it was.

Open the door to do business, the bottom line is to make money, even if you have three melons and two dates, how can you lose money to save face?

As for the price, Cao Shujie knew that the quotation Xia Changhong gave him was really low, because Cao Shujie also consulted two similar building materials stores in the short half hour just now.

The first one quoted 26 yuan without discussing the quality of the pipes after hearing him say the number of acres.

The other one is slightly lower, but it is more than 24.

As for what he said about the traffic jam just now, it's pure nonsense!
After signing a construction contract with Xia Changhong and confirming the construction period, Cao Shujie paid a deposit of 5 yuan, and only then did he have time to ask Cao Zhen: "Why is it such a coincidence today?"

"I also want to ask you, our company will also install automatic sprinkler irrigation equipment in the green belt, which can save 4 greening labor. I'll come over and have a chat with Boss Xia."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhen asked him, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"I'll take the two of them to the Five Star Department Store first to do some shopping," Cao Shujie mentioned.

Cao Zhen nodded: "Well, then you can go to the mall first, and I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

Cao Zhen added one last sentence.

Cao Shujie shook his head: "You are looking for a place today, and I invite you and Boss Xia."

Xia Changhong was polite again, saying that he was welcome.

Although the 21 yuan for accessories of this quality is small, there is still a surplus after removing the pipe and labor costs.

……

Coming out of the 'Changhong Hardware Store', Cao Shujie drove directly to the Five Star Department Store after his wife and daughter got in the car.

On the way, Cheng Xiaolin asked a very important question: "Husband, Brother Zhen is so proud of you."

She said: "The last time we went to buy barbed wire fences, that Boss Chen kept calling him 'Director Cao', and Boss Xia kept calling him 'Director Cao' just now. I feel something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Cao Shujie asked his wife without looking back.

Cheng Xiaolin was very puzzled: "Didn't you tell me that Brother Zhen worked as the logistics director in his uncle's factory? What's the difference between this director?"

Cao Shujie thought for a moment, and then said: "I don't know the details, it seems that this factory was jointly opened by several of his relatives."

"These relatives are from highway crossings, forestry crossings, and other departments."

"Pingyuan County says it's not big, it's not small, but it always looks up and down. If something happens, you have to ask for help."

After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie told his wife: "Just listen to this, don't tell others."

Cheng Xiaolin didn't expect this to happen, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Cao Shujie drove to the five-star department store, found a parking space in the parking lot behind, and parked the car.

The family of three got off the car, and Cao Shujie carried his daughter to the front door and entered the mall.

As soon as you walk in, you feel the excitement.

Probably because of the working day, there are many elderly people and mothers with children in the mall, and there are not many young people hanging out.

"Look, mom, what is it?" Mengmeng seemed to be a different person after she came in, her eyes kept staring at the shelves.

You have to ask about everything.

No, I saw snacks again: "Mom, buy."

She was very enthusiastic. Cheng Xiaolin took the Shaqima pointed by her daughter and looked at the ingredient list. The sugar content was too high. She shook her head: "This is too sweet. If you eat it, worms will grow on your teeth. If you have a toothache, you will have to pull out your tooth... "

Before she finished speaking, Mengmeng covered her mouth with her hands and shook her head in fear: "No!"

"That's right, let's go further inside, and Mom will buy you better ones." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie was pushing a shopping cart, listening to his wife chatting next to them, discussing what to buy, and when he came across something for home, he would take one.

"Dad, buy it."

Cao Shujie was distracted, Mengmeng called him, looked down, the daughter pointed to a doll toy.

"Mengmeng, this is not fun, dad will find you a better one, okay?" Cao Shujie discussed with her.

Mengmeng refers to a box containing three dolls, one big, two small, all wearing blue, yellow, and purple skirts, with long yellow hair, and looking like foreigners.

What is there to play with this thing?

Cao Shujie really wanted to buy a more fun one for his daughter, but the child couldn't make any sense at all, and when she was in a hurry, she just stared at you without saying a word.

The expression on the little face changed from moment to moment, as if she was about to cry at any time.

Cao Shujie had a headache, picked up a toy and said, "Hey, Mengmeng, I'll buy it for you!"

"Hee hee!" Mengmeng smiled, seeing her father put the toy in the shopping cart, she was not happy and had to hold it by herself.

From behind, I saw Mengmeng stretching her hands, struggling to hold the doll and walking forward, as if worried that her father would not buy it if she didn't hold it.

Cheng Xiaolin was speechless to her daughter.

After a little longer, they bought a lot of daily necessities, snacks, fruits, some clothes and shoes, and saw that the shopping cart was almost full.

I grow my own vegetables at home, so I don’t need to buy them.

The doll toy that Mengmeng held in her hand was replaced by a puppy toy that can play music, read ancient poems, and tell stories. There are wheels under the toy, so it can walk around.

Children are so fickle!
Before he knew it, at noon, Cao Zhen called him.

Cao Shujie went there with his wife and daughter.

At noon, Cao Shujie, Cao Zhen and their new friend Xia Changhong had a meal together. Cheng Xiaolin received hints from her husband's eyes and found a reason to check out early. When paying the bill, the boss said that the fatter one had already paid. up.

As soon as Cheng Xiaolin heard it, she knew that Boss Xia paid for it.

……

On the way back to Caojiazhuang, Cheng Xiaolin was driving, and Cao Shujie, who had been drinking, was playing with his daughter in the back seat.

Mengmeng hugged the puppy toy she just bought, playing with it very fascinated.

The puppy is still biting a detachable bone in its mouth, pull the bone out, and there is a yellow rope connected between the bone and the puppy, pull the rope, it can walk, the dog's tail is still swinging from side to side, look It is very gratifying.

Mengmeng is at an active age, she doesn't want to 'walk the dog' anymore, so she grabbed the puppy toy, and slapped it hard with her small hand according to the button on the top.

Music, counting, weather forecast, and storytelling sounded all kinds of messy sounds. Mengmeng laughed proudly as if she had discovered a new world.

"Dad, look." Mengmeng pressed the button with the music symbol painted on it, and the song "Happy Birthday to You" sounded, and she stretched out her hand to dance along with it.

"Mengmeng, are toys fun?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Mengmeng nodded fiercely like a little kowtowing bug: "Dad, it's fun."

Unknowingly, Cheng Xiaolin drove to the door of the house, and she shouted: "Mengmeng, we are home, get out of the car."

"Oh!" Mengmeng agreed weakly, then lowered her head and continued to play with the puppy toy she just bought.
