"My sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious!" Cao Shujie raised his thumb and praised sincerely.

Ding Yunan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Cao Zhen and Cao Tiemin also liked it one after another.

Although I am a little uncomfortable with this method, it is undeniable that the food cooked by Ding Yunan tastes really good.

"If you think it's delicious, you can eat more, and I'll make some pig's trotter soup and winter melon voodoo." Ding Yunan said.

Seeing her turn around and walk out, Cao Zhen and Cao Shujie stood up almost at the same time and shouted: "Sister-in-law, stop cooking. If you cook too much, you won't be able to eat it. It's a waste."

"It's okay, you can eat as much as you can." Ding Yunan pointed to the kitchen and said: "I have put the pig's feet in the pressure cooker and it's almost time. The winter melon Gu is almost ready in the pot. I'll go over and bring it over."

"Oh, Brother Xu, you are too polite." Cao Tiemin said.

Cao Shuxu laughed: "I work hard alone outside. When I see you when I come back, I feel friendly. Brothers, please eat more. Let's chat while eating. Don't be in a hurry."

Cao Shujie asked him: "Brother Xu, are you leaving tomorrow too?"

"Yes, tomorrow morning I will take Uncle Quan's car to the provincial capital. From there, I will fly back to Shencheng. It will take about three hours to get there." Cao Shuxu said.

——

"So fast!" Cao Tiemin had never flown on an airplane, so he had no idea about the speed of an airplane.

Cao Zhen shouted: "When I return to Xinjiang in two days, I don't plan to take the train. I will fly back at my own expense. It will take more than four hours to get there."

"Isn't it expensive?" Cao Tiemin said.

Cao Zhen nodded: "I checked, the discounted ticket is less than 1,500 yuan."

Cao Shuxu said with a smile: "This price is almost the same as if we went to Shencheng!"

Cao Zhen nodded, and Patiguli called him, saying that she missed him, and urged him to take a flight back, and she would pay for the air ticket.

That's okay, I have to take a plane back.

They drank and chatted, and more than two hours passed before they knew it. When they were about to leave, Cao Shujie suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Xu, where is my Grandpa Zhenghe?"

"My dad took him to visit my aunt's house." Cao Shuxu said.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Cao Shuxu quickly picked up all the things they had brought and asked them to take them back.

After the three people walked out for a short distance, they put their things on the ground and ran away together.

Cao Shuxu waited until night and sent them one by one.

Cao Shujie said at that time why he was so polite, but Cao Shuxu said: "I asked you to go drink, just go empty-handed, but you have to take something. If you are so polite, you don't treat me as a family member!"

"Shujie, call me when you go to Shencheng from now on, remember!" Cao Shuxu warned him.

Seeing Cao Shuxu turn around and walk away very freely, Cao Shujie opened his mouth but said nothing.

Instead, Cheng Xiaolin asked him: "Shujie, that Brother Xu just now seemed very unusual."

"Of course, wife, let me tell you, the QQ mailbox we usually use is made by someone else, so you can judge whether he is awesome or not," Cao Shujie said.

"He works at QQ?" Cheng Xiaolin then came back to her senses and asked her husband.

"Well!" Cao Shujie went upstairs and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."

…

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Shujie was about to go out to walk his dog when he received a text message and a phone call.

The text message was sent by Cao Shuxu, telling him that he had boarded the long-distance bus from Cao Jianquan's house in the village to the provincial capital. He also said that he would meet again next time and drink more when everyone was gone.

Cao Shujie sent him a reply: "The plane went against the wind all the way!"

"Brother, thank you!"

The call was from Cao Zhen. He told Cao Shujie: "I will report to the company today, and tomorrow I will go to the provincial capital and take a direct flight to the airport near Changji, Xinjiang."

"Okay, your grandma will come back alone this time. Next time, remember to bring your wife back with you. I'll treat you to a meal."

While on the phone, Cao Shujie came out of the house with four dogs. He shouted: "Cao Zhen, remember to discuss the marriage with your wife as soon as possible when you go back. You are both very old, so don't delay it anymore, as soon as possible.

!”

He also said: "If you get married in late March or early April, you can go directly to my orchard to pick the freshest strawberries, and then you two can eat whatever you want."

"Go away, I remembered you promised to mail it to me. Did you want to save on shipping costs?" Cao Zhen was not fooled.

Cao Shujie laughed: "If you don't mind eating it badly, I'll mail it to you."

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is gradually disappearing as everyone goes out.

After Cao Zhen, Cao Shuxu, Cao Tiemin and others left, Caojiazhuang, which had seemed lively before, seemed to freeze in an instant and began to quiet down.

Cao Shujie also got rid of the sequelae of the Spring Festival and began to slowly get into work mode.

He has always felt that if people do nothing, they will easily become useless.

…

On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Shujie asked his wife for 2,000 yuan, folded it into squares, and walked up the mountain.

When he saw Chao Shuchao, who was pruning apple trees and kiwi fruit in the orchard, he first called out to him: "Brother Chao, take a break first."

"Shujie, you're here too." Cao Shuchao pointed to the branches of the fruit trees and said, "I think some fruit branches have too many branches and it's not good to leave them on, so I cut them off before they sprout."

"In addition, some extra small branches are also cut off so that other thick branches can absorb more nutrients." Cao Shuchao said.

Cao Shujie also knew this. He nodded, took out the 2,000 yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Cao Shuchao: "Brother Chao, click on it. This is 2,000 yuan."

Cao Shuchao didn't answer. He waved his hands in a panic: "Shujie, isn't this right? I haven't had any rest this month. My salary should be 1,705 yuan. Even if I add a bonus of 115 yuan, it's only over 1,800 yuan."

"That's right, the rest is my top-up reward for the Chinese New Year." Cao Shujie said this.

"Brother Chao, although you haven't been here long, you have done a really good job. I know it in my heart. Just take it." Cao Shujie once again gave Cao Shuchao money.

Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Shuchao said thank you several times before taking the money and stuffing it into his trouser pocket.

"Brother Chao, if you don't do well, I will definitely not give you this money." Cao Shujie corrected his idea.

He added: "Brother Chao, and the person you introduced to me years ago is... Zhu Shengliang, right?"

Seeing Cao Shuchao nodding.

Cao Shujie then said: "Brother Chao, ask your friend to officially come to work starting from tomorrow. I will call Boss Cui later and ask him to send us a calf tomorrow."

"Okay! I'll call him right now and ask him to come over today to familiarize himself with the work." Cao Shuchao was very thoughtful.

Cao Shujie did not object.

Tomorrow will be very busy. It would be a good thing if Zhu Shengliang could come over today to familiarize himself with the work site.
