12,000)

Mengmeng had a slide and big blocks to play with, but she just stayed in the kindergarten and didn't want to leave. She kept dragging her around until almost 5 o'clock.

During this period, Cheng Xiaolin and Cheng Yan also chatted for more than an hour, covering everything from their experiences in the past two years, their children, and their parents' conflicts.

During the chat, Cheng Xiaolin also learned that Cheng Yan and her partner had bought a small house of more than 70 square meters in Quancheng, which had not yet been renovated.

It is planned that after the renovation is completed in two years, their son will go to elementary school in Quancheng tomorrow morning.

Li Xiaojuan saw that it was too late. She had just promised her granddaughter that she would buy whole lamb and lamb legs to eat in the evening.

"Yanzi, you and I will go to our house for dinner tonight, and I will go to town to buy whole sheep." Li Xiaojuan invited the two of them.

But Cheng Yan knew that she had just returned, and the family must have a lot to talk about. It would definitely be inconvenient for her to take her son there to get involved.

"Auntie, please go back quickly. I will take Mingchen to visit relatives in the evening." Cheng Yan declined the invitation.

"Are you really not going?" Li Xiaojuan asked her. Seeing Cheng Yan shaking her head and leaving with a little boy who looked like a tiger-like head, Cheng Xiaolin called her daughter to go home.

Mengmeng was very reluctant when she left. She kept looking back at the playground equipment in the kindergarten.

"Mengmeng, why don't we take you to kindergarten after we go home? Our kindergarten also has these things, and there are more than here." Cheng Xiaolin said.

"Okay...not good." Mengmeng resisted the temptation at the critical moment.

Cheng Xiaolin was very puzzled, thinking that her daughter remembered things quite well.

"Forget it, let's wait until next year to send it away." Cheng Xiaolin thought to herself.

After returning home, Li Xiaojuan was about to go out on her electric bike as soon as she put down her things.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her mother while pulling the electric car.

"I'm going to buy whole sheep and lamb legs." Li Xiaojuan said.

Cao Shujie was helping his father-in-law with work in the yard. He also heard: "Honey, it's already this time. You can drive and take our mother there. It will be convenient to take it back."

"Okay!" Cheng Xiaolin asked her mother to stop the electric car and took out the key of the electric car.

She went inside to get the car keys and was going to drive her mother to town.

"I can just go there by electric bike. It's not very far and it's convenient to ride." Li Xiaojuan muttered.

Cheng Xiaolin tugged on her clothes and said, "Mom, hurry up and leave early. Go back early."

"Dongdong, Mengmeng, are you two going?" Cheng Xiaolin asked them again.

But neither of them went. They gathered next to Cheng Rengui and Cao Shujie, insisting on watching the adults work.

What kind of hobby is this?

Cheng Xiaolin drove her mother to Dayao Town and bought three kilograms of whole sheep from a store called Xiaoguo Whole Sheep.

When they came over, the mutton with rib bones was still simmering in the pot over low heat. The soup was very clear and bubbling. There were no other ingredients in the pot. The smell of mutton was not strong, and the mutton smell was not strong.

The fragrance is very strong.

I also bought a leg of lamb and 8 hooves.

Cheng Xiaolin's mouth watered when she smelled the fragrance.

When it was time to pay, she paid before her mother.

As they drove back, Li Xiaojuan said to her: "I didn't ask you to pay."

"Mom, I can't come here more than once a year. What's wrong with spending some money? If you can save it, save it. Don't just think about helping my brother. If you help him like this, he will always feel that someone is taking care of them. There is no need to fight.

Jin'er can't grow at all."

"Look at Shujie and I, haven't we both struggled on our own?"

This is true. Li Xiaojuan sat silently in the passenger seat. The whole mutton, leg and hooves she bought were hung on the hooks in the trunk.

When I returned home, I saw Cao Shujie cooking vegetables as soon as I walked in. Mengmeng and her little cousin Dongdong were gathered around a square table with vegetables, wondering what they were discussing.

Seeing her grandma and mother come in, Mengmeng shouted happily: "Mom, come here and take a look, dad's cooking is delicious."

"How do you know it's delicious?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.

Mengmeng said with a smile, "Have a try. You will know if it tastes good or not."

Cheng Xiaolin saw that her daughter's fingers were very clean and not oily.

Then she saw that there were two pairs of chopsticks on the table. There was an obvious oily smell on the chopsticks, and she knew what was going on.

"Eat meat, look at the meat that grandma bought." Cheng Xiaolin carried the whole sheep and showed it to her daughter.

When Mengmeng saw it, she exclaimed in surprise: "There's so much meat, Mom, I want to eat it."

"Wait a moment, let's eat together." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Li Xiaojuan tried to snatch the shovel from her son-in-law's hand, but Cao Shujie said, "Mom, it's okay. I don't have anything else to do anyway."

"That's not why I asked you to do the work." Li Xiaojuan still disagreed. Finally, Cheng Xiaolin went to take the shovel, and Li Xiaojuan said nothing else.

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her mother and asked her, "Are you really my mother?"

"What, do you have any objections to asking you to cook?" Li Xiaojuan asked her daughter.

Cheng Xiaolin said nothing and just went to work.

"Shujie, where is your dad?" Li Xiaojuan asked him.

Cao Shujie pointed to the west and said, "I went to feed the cows. I'll be back soon."

"I'll get the bowls, and we'll eat later." Li Xiaojuan put the legs and hooves of lamb on the small table in the yard, then went inside to get the bowls, chopsticks, and plates.

While Cheng Xiaolin was cooking, she asked her husband: "Did you call our mother and say you can't go home tonight?"

"I told you earlier, don't worry, your mother-in-law didn't urge us to go back," Cao Shujie said.

"Besides, your father-in-law won't come with us to play." Cao Shujie looked at his nephew who was eating vegetables with his daughter, and said, "You can tell Mengmeng's grandma later and take Dongdong with you.

When we leave tomorrow, we will take them back directly."

"Go back to Caojiazhuang to rest for a day, pack your things, and set off in two days," Cao Shujie said.

"Okay!" Cheng Xiaolin agreed.

She also wanted to take her mother out for a walk.

We didn't have that condition before, but we have it now.

She felt that apart from taking care of her family, she could only achieve so much in her life.

Cheng Xiaolin finished frying the vegetables, and while eating, Cheng Rengui took the initiative and said, "Shujie, let's have some wine."

"Dad, okay, I was just thinking about having a drink with you."

Cheng Rengui nodded and told his daughter: "Linlin, go and open the wine you brought and take two bottles to drink."

When Cheng Xiaolin heard this, she thought that she had not left tonight at all. She brought the wine in at noon and forgot to tell her father about the wine.

It would be really lively if his father took the wine to give away in a daze.

The key is that the person receiving the gift may not necessarily think it is real, which will make it even more depressing.

She said: "Dad, do you know how much a bottle of that wine costs?"

Sure enough, Cheng Rengui muttered: "How much more money can we have? Fifty-sixty-one bottles? Or more than a hundred bottles?"

"Dad, that bottle of wine can buy half a calf." Cheng Xiaolin said to her father.

"How much?" Cheng Rengui's hand trembled, feeling a little numb.

At this time, Cao Shujie walked towards the house and said, "It's just a box of wine. Dad, drink it slowly. If you run out, call me and I'll get you two more boxes."

Li Xiaojuan looked at her daughter, then at the back of her son-in-law, blinking and making eye contact with her daughter, as if asking her whether what she just said was true or false.

"Mom, why did I lie to you? Shujie found someone to buy three boxes of wine and spent more than 30,000 yuan. Let me tell you this to make my dad feel safe. Don't give it away casually.

." Cheng Xiaolin said this.

Li Xiaojuan saw that her son-in-law had come out with a bottle of wine. She came to her senses and said, "Don't drink this wine. Let's drink something else."

Cao Shujie laughed: "Mom, it's okay. It's just a bottle of wine. It's just a little more expensive."

As soon as he finished speaking, his father-in-law Cheng Rengui said in a faint tone: "This is not more expensive, this is ridiculously expensive."

No matter what he said, his son-in-law had already opened the bottle of wine, took the bottle and poured the wine into the tea bowl.

"Dad, please try first to see if it tastes good, but many people are not used to this wine," Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Rengui got drunk after drinking two glasses of wine that night. Before going to bed, he kept mumbling that his daughter and son-in-law had become successful, and he also benefited from it. He could drink wine for almost 2,000 yuan a bottle. What else could he say in this life?

It's worth living till the end.

As for the remaining five bottles of wine, Li Xiaojuan hid them before Cheng Rengui could react.

He never said where he hid it, and even shouted that he would dig a hole and bury it some other time, and then take it out to drink when Mengmeng gets married.

…

Early on the second day, after breakfast, Cao Shujie drove his wife, children, mother-in-law, and nephew back to Caojiazhuang in a car.
