Cao Jianlong arrived a little later than Cao Shujie. He directly brought over the people recruited by the village committee, and more than 60 people spread out to help in the orchards of 14 fruit farmers.

There are also some who help direct traffic in the parking lot.

There are also people who work as volunteers in the village, giving directions to tourists.

No matter what they do, they always have a smile on their faces.

This is a joy to see hope. It is much more than just getting paid for working today.

Security Director Cao Zhengcun and a few people were riding electric bikes around the area. When there was a dispute, they rushed over immediately and asked for the reason and how to deal with it.

They will never be biased just because tourists come to them to spend money.

This is what Cao Shujie told him. He must stick to his own position. When encountering those who deliberately make things difficult for others, they would rather earn a penny less than get used to those people's problems.

Women's Director Lu Ping is also available today, and it must be her.

She organized young women in the village to promote the next development direction of Caojiazhuang to tourists visiting her village.

It has been mentioned several times that Caojiazhuang will plant more orchards on a large scale and raise more cattle in the next step, which will also further build Caojiazhuang into a better place.

No one knew whether Lu Ping's propaganda was effective, but Cao Shujie insisted on doing it, and even Cao Jianlong, the village party secretary, did not refute it.

…

It was already past ten in the morning when Cheng Xiaolin put on some clothes and came out of the house with Mengmeng.

Mengmeng didn't want to stay at home. She was wearing a pink princess dress and a pair of sandals with bright diamonds on her feet. She kept saying that she was a princess today and she had to help the king's father.

"Mom, where did dad go?" Mengmeng asked.

Cheng Xiaolin really didn't know where her husband was, but she knew that her husband must be busy at the moment, and she didn't call to inquire.

He said, "Mengmeng, let's go look for her. Maybe we'll meet her in someone's orchard?"

But Mengmeng was not stupid. She looked at Cheng Xiaolin doubtfully: "Mom, why didn't you call dad?"

Cheng Xiaolin: "..."

She thought to herself, Mengmeng usually looks stupid, how cute!

Once you become smart, you stop being cute.

"Mom's mobile phone is out of money and is in arrears. When I find your father later, I'll ask him to recharge her mobile phone. Then I can use my mother's mobile phone to call my father. What do you think?" Cheng Xiaolin said nonsensically.

.

When Mengmeng heard what her mother said, her little brain couldn't react at all, but she still felt that what her mother said made sense.

"Okay, after I find my father, I will tell him to recharge my mother's phone bill, which is eight yuan." Mengmeng said very seriously.

Cheng Xiaolin couldn't help but want to laugh, and couldn't bear to deceive her daughter, but instead of causing trouble for her husband, it was better to coax Mengmeng like this.

"Mengmeng, where should we look first?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her daughter.

Mengmeng pointed in a random direction and said: "Go over there, I think dad is there."

"Really? Your premonition is so accurate?" Why is Cheng Xiaolin so unconvinced?

But Mengmeng kept shouting to go southwest, and Cheng Xiaolin felt that the probability of her mother and father finding her husband was too low.

"Okay, I'll bring you some water. Later we'll also give some uncles, aunts, grandparents to help!" Cheng Xiaolin rode her family's electric bike and went out with her daughter.

When Mengmeng heard her mother say that she wanted to help others, she was very excited: "Okay, okay, Mom, I want to help my grandparents too, I'm really awesome."

"Yes, Mengmeng is the little princess today." Cheng Xiaolin said.

There were some cars of different brands around me that kept driving south.

But when they were in the village, they didn't drive very fast, and occasionally cars would stop and ask for directions.

Cheng Xiaolin saw an SUV coming from the provincial capital parked in front of her. A woman got out of the car and asked the volunteers from Caojiazhuang for questioning.

Cheng Xiaolin was behind them and couldn't see clearly what the other party looked like, but it seemed that the communication between the two parties was not going smoothly.

Cheng Xiaolin was puzzled. When she walked over and took a look, she realized that although the person asking the question had black hair, she had a foreign face.

The volunteers in Caojiazhuang were confused by speaking English. Many of these volunteers couldn't even speak Mandarin smoothly, and they couldn't even understand English.

Both sides' gestures were useless.

But Cheng Xiaolin spoke very good English. After she came over, she spoke fluent English and helped the volunteers from Caojiazhuang. After communicating with them for a while, she learned that they also came to the orchard to pick kiwis, which are called kiwis.

Cheng Xiaolin felt that even if the other party went to the orchard, it would be difficult to communicate with the fruit farmers, so she said: "Selena, you can follow me here."

With Cheng Xiaolin's help, the other foreigner who was driving slowly drove up to follow.

Mengmeng sat firmly on the small seat in front of the electric car. She also asked her mother, what did that person say just now?

"That's English. Don't you know the words for apple and banana?" Cheng Xiaolin said to her daughter.

Mengmeng didn't understand anything, she scratched her head: "I don't understand what she said?"

"Mengmeng, you don't need to understand, just learn Chinese well." Cheng Xiaolin said.

She had no intention of letting her daughter go abroad.

To be selfish, she didn't even think about letting her daughter leave her side and run away.

If one day in the future, her daughter grows up, Cheng Xiaolin would not mind recruiting a son-in-law.

Or if Mengmeng doesn't find the right one, she doesn't mind letting her daughter find her slowly.

Because of this little accident, Cheng Xiaolin and Mengmeng were delayed for more than ten minutes. After seeing the two young foreign men and women picking 4 boxes of kiwi fruits in Cao Lei's orchard and leaving, she took her daughter and continued walking elsewhere.

.

When she meets someone in need of help, she doesn't mind stopping to help them.

"Mom, dad?" For Mengmeng, it was a pity that she never saw her dad.

Cheng Xiaolin said: "Come on, let's go further, maybe we will meet your father."

"Okay then!" Mengmeng followed her mother and continued walking forward.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

Cheng Xiaolin had not gone back with her daughter, but who knew that Cao Shujie had called her first.

"Honey, where are you?" Cao Shujie asked after the call was connected.

Before Cheng Xiaolin could speak, Mengmeng snatched the phone from her mother's hand and said, "Dad, my mother and I came out to find you."

"Ah?" Cao Shujie didn't know what was going on, he was very surprised.

He asked his daughter: "Why didn't you call me?"

"Mom said that her mobile phone is out of money and she can't call you. Dad, please pay mom the phone bill." Mengmeng said to her father seriously.

Cao Shujie realized now that his wife was fooling her daughter.

But he couldn't expose it, so he said, "Okay, you and your mother will come back first. I'll hang up the phone now and go recharge your mother's phone bill."

"That's great, Dad, you know, Mom can also speak bird songs that I can't understand." Mengmeng seemed to have discovered a new world, taking credit for her father.

In one sentence, Cao Shujie was even more confused.

"When did your mother learn the language of birds?" He didn't think about English at all.

Mengmeng still said: "I learned that Apple loves to run, but my mother said I don't need to learn it."

After hearing this, Cao Shujie couldn't help crying or laughing, and didn't know how to explain it to his daughter.

He said: "I will cook first and then squeeze the watermelon juice for you to drink. Come back quickly."

Cheng Xiaolin didn't need to persuade her. When Mengmeng heard that her father was making delicious food at home, she was more active than anyone else. After returning the phone to Cheng Xiaolin, she urged her mother to go home quickly.

"Mom, let me tell you, daddy makes watermelon juice, it's delicious." Mengmeng gestured, licking her lips with an expectant expression on her face.

When Cheng Xiaolin returned home, Cao Shujie had already squeezed the watermelon juice and asked his grandfather to drink a small cup. Cao Zhenghu also mixed it with a lot of cold water.

He has high blood sugar, and he pays more attention to it than anyone else.

He knew in his heart that if he was in good health, he would put less burden on his son and grandson.

"Dad, I'm back." Mengmeng shouted loudly as soon as she entered the door.

Cheng Xiaolin put down the electric scooter and took her through the door. When she saw her husband, she asked, "There are many people coming outside."

"No, the orchard to the west is full of people. I haven't stopped all morning." Cao Shujie said, his mouth felt a little dry when he spoke.

Cheng Xiaolin also knew it, and she asked: "Were the sales good this morning?"

"I didn't do statistics, so I can't be wrong. When I came back, there were still many people picking kiwi fruits in the orchard. I feel that there are more people coming today than those who came to our orchard during the Qingming Festival holiday." Cao Shujie said.

He said: "Fortunately, the village has made plans in advance, otherwise it would be a busy day and something might happen."

"There are foreigners coming, have you seen it?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

She said: "When I just went out in the morning, I met a pair of foreigners who came from the provincial capital to pick kiwi fruits. The volunteers in our village did not understand English."

Only then did Cao Shujie understand what was going on when his daughter mentioned that her mother said "birdsong".
