That night, Cao Shujie had a dream. He dreamed that he bought a large mountain and became the real king of the mountain. In his free time, he would plant flowers, vegetables, fruits, and do some farming on the mountain.

It's not for making money, it's all for eating and drinking.

Mengmeng rode Daha and Dahei and they were running around in the mountains. Cao Shujie swung his legs behind and chased after him. The faster he ran, the happier Mengmeng who was riding the dog in front laughed, and then let Daha and

Dahei ran as hard as he could, and laughter and laughter kept coming from the mountains.

"Mengmeng is so disgusting!" Cao Shujie shouted subconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone ask him: "Shujie, what are you talking about?"

"Uh!" Cao Shujie opened his eyes and realized that it was already bright outside and the sunlight was shining in, making it a bit dazzling.

At this time, his wife was leaning over and looking at him, with a nervous expression on her face.

Looking at the face so close at hand, Cao Shujie subconsciously raised his head and quickly kissed her on the cheek.

Before Cheng Xiaolin got angry, she asked: "Honey, what time is it?"

"It's past nine o'clock. You didn't wake up no matter what I called you just now. Our parents said that you had lost your soul, and our dad went to the cemetery to burn paper for you." Cheng Xiaolin said this.

"..."

Cao Shujie didn't expect this. He curled his lips and said, "Honey, you don't know, I had a dream all night, and I kept running in the mountains, but I was exhausted."

As Cao Shujie spoke, he sat up from the bed. He rubbed his arms and patted his body, thinking about the scenes in his dream, yearning for them and hating them so much that his teeth itched.

Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband say this and was a little curious: "Husband, what dream did you have?"

I couldn't wake up no matter how I screamed just now, this dream was a bit outrageous.

Before Cao Shujie could say anything, Wang Yuelan's voice came from downstairs: "Linlin, is Shujie awake?"

"Mom, he just woke up, let's go down for dinner." Cheng Xiaolin quickly told her mother-in-law downstairs to save her from worrying anymore.

"Okay!" Wang Yuelan went to heat up the rice.

Just now, her daughter-in-law called her and said that her son could not wake up. Wang Yuelan called her husband Cao Jianguo down who was working in the mountains.

The couple also murmured that their son looked like he was suffering from "lost soul" symptoms. At Cao Zhenghu's signal, Cao Jianguo went to the Cao family's ancestral graves without saying a word, taking the fire paper and sacrifices.

After Cao Shujie came down from upstairs, Wang Yuelan carefully looked at the expression and eyes on her son's face. She asked nervously: "Shujie, are you okay?"

While talking, his eyes never left his son, and he muttered without knowing what he was talking about.

This look made Cao Shujie feel scared. He was very puzzled and asked, "Mom, what did you say?"

"It's okay, I mean you don't seem to have lost your soul, your dad even went to burn money for your grandpa!" Wang Yuelan said.

Cao Shujie: "..."

It is said that his grandfather has been riding a crane for many years, but Cao Shujie has no memory at all.

"Dad, you big lazy pig, just now you were sleeping, your mother cried." Mengmeng shouted.

Cao Shujie felt a little guilty, but he couldn't control the dream.

As soon as he sat down to have breakfast, his father Cao Jianguo hurried back.

When he walked in, Cao Jianguo's legs were covered with dirt from the knees down. Before he looked towards the restaurant, someone asked anxiously: "I've already burned the paper for his grandpa, is Shujie okay?"

"Dad, I'm fine." Cao Shujie was very moved when he saw the dirt on his father's legs. His father was actually kneeling down at the ancestral grave.

"Hey, you kid, you're so old and you don't let me worry. Shujie, what's going on with you?" Cao Jianguo didn't even bother to pat the dirt on his legs and asked his son anxiously.

Cao Shujie was very depressed at the moment, but he still told the truth: "Dad, I had a dream all night, and I kept running in the dream, but I couldn't escape."

He told the story of his dream.

"You have really lost your soul. Have you lost your soul in a dream?" Cao Jianguo said to himself.

He yelled and said: "It must be that your grandpa is short of money and spent it. I will burn it for him and give him the money and you will be fine. Otherwise, you will still have to run around in your dreams now."

"..." Cao Shujie was unable to refute.

He thought to himself, you are absolutely right.

No way, this is such a coincidence that Cao Shujie himself believes that it is indeed the case!

While eating, Cao Shujie realized that the house was quite quiet today. He asked, "Mom, where is my sister?"

"She went to the mountain to help." Wang Yuelan said.

"Oh." Cao Shujie nodded, and after finishing the meal, he said, "I'm going to Uncle Jiangang's house, and I'll use the village committee's loudspeaker to find someone to help me with my work."

"Go ahead. I'll ask your sister to come down later and go to town with Linlin to buy some meat and vegetables." Wang Yuelan said.

She had not planned to go originally, but until now, the house has not replenished food since the Chinese New Year, and there is not much meat and vegetables at home.

Just now she heard her daughter-in-law say that she was going to drive to town to buy glutinous rice balls, so she thought about going with her.

"Okay!" Cao Shujie nodded and went out on his electric bike.

Ten minutes later, the loudspeaker in Caojiazhuang that had been silent for more than half a month sounded again.

The familiar Peking Opera melody sounded, and a few minutes later, Cao Shujie's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Dear young and old men in Caojiazhuang, I am Cao Shujie. I am looking for someone to plow the ground in my orchard. Anyone who is willing to do it can just take it.

Come to my orchard with your tools."

Cao Huifang and Cao Shuchao, who were working on the mountain, breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the shout from the loudspeaker.

"Brother Chao, my brother should be fine." Cao Huifang said with a smile.

Cao Shuchao also let go of his hanging heart: "As long as it's okay."

Cao Shujie came up to the mountain last night and chatted with him for a while about recruiting people, and told him to contact two reliable people.

Cao Shuchao was also worried about this matter. Before seven o'clock this morning, he started calling people.

But at this time, people who went out to work began to leave.

There is also a wave of people who don’t plan to travel far and want to make money at home without delaying taking care of their families, but they don’t like the salary of 1,788 a month.

I think it’s too little!

If you work outside for a day in the labor market, your salary will be at least more than 100 yuan. Skilled workers can earn more, but the money from my hometown is indeed less.

Cao Shuchao also knew this, but there was nothing he could do about his salary. Nor could he give any guarantee to others.

Fortunately, he was able to contact someone. After listening to what he said, the other party considered that it was right outside his home and he could go home to eat every day, so he could accept the income. He also wanted to come over and have a look as soon as possible. If possible, he would

Set it down.

If it doesn't work, the other party will pack his bags and prepare to travel far away to earn a living.

…

After Cheng Xiaolin and her mother-in-law finished cleaning up the house together, she said hello to her grandfather Cao Zhenghu: "Grandpa, we are going to the supermarket in the town. Then we will buy you a new pair of shoes and new clothes."

Cao Zhenghu waved his hands with a smile and said: "You can just go, you don't have to buy anything for me."

"I still have two sets of new clothes you bought years ago that I haven't worn yet!" Cao Zhenghu said.

But Cheng Xiaolin didn't listen. She said, "Then take it out and wear it quickly. Why are you leaving it there?"

Mengmeng also yelled next to her: "Grandpa, hurry up and wear new clothes. The new clothes are beautiful and I like them too. I want to buy them too."

"Look what you can do." When Cheng Xiaolin heard her daughter say this, she stretched out a finger and tapped her nose. Mengmeng tilted her head and dodged away.

After waiting for sister-in-law Cao Huifang to come down from the mountain and changing clothes, the four of them set off.

Cheng Xiaolin drove, and Cao Huifang sat in the passenger seat. She looked enviously at her sister-in-law's skillful driving and said, "Sister-in-law, is it easy to learn how to drive?"

Cheng Xiaolin recalled the difficulty she had in learning to drive. She said: "Some people are eager to learn and pass the exam in just one try."

"Some people may not be able to pass the driving test in a few years. It depends on you."

"Ah, is it so difficult to learn?" Cao Huifang immediately classified herself into the latter group of people.

She thought it was too difficult.

Wang Yuelan was holding her granddaughter Mengmeng in the back seat. When she heard her daughter-in-law and daughter discussing how to learn to drive, she asked: "Fangfang, if you want to learn to drive, ask your father to give you money and you can sign up in advance."

study."

"I heard that in some schools you can sign up to learn to drive. Is it available in your school?" she asked.

Cao Huifang shook her head and said: "Mom, we can't do it in our school, but there is a driving school not far from our school. You can sign up and learn there."

"Then just sign up, practice more while you have more time in school, and you'll get good at it slowly." Cheng Xiaolin encouraged her.

"Besides, you might learn it right away!"

After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Cao Huifang seemed to have regained her confidence.

In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at a large comprehensive supermarket in the town.

Cheng Xiaolin spotted a parking space, drove the car over and parked it slowly. The four of them got out of the car. Cheng Xiaolin looked up and saw a big plaque at the entrance of the supermarket, which read 'Dafulun Supermarket'.

"This name seems a bit nondescript!" Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile.

Cao Huifang was more direct: "Sister-in-law, I heard that they imitate RT-Mart supermarkets."
