Chapter 1074 Meng Meng Lost Money (8000)
"Mom, what are you doing?" Meng Meng said in a long tone.
Her voice was full of grievance.
Cheng Xiaolin was too lazy to answer her, but she also returned her son's red envelope to him.
Seeing her son Cao Yirui happily taking the red envelope to give to his sister, Meng Meng was a little reluctant to accept it this time.
Originally, she wanted to secretly embezzle her brother's red envelope, and then the money would be hers without anyone knowing.
Now, her mother watched her brother give her the red envelope, and the money must be returned. She also had to pay for two toys herself, so what was the point?
Meng Meng was depressed, she didn't even want to accept the red envelope.
Isn't this just a pure loss of money?
How did you say that sentence? I wanted your capital, but I didn't expect that I would have to lose my capital!
Vomiting blood!
But Cao Yirui was still excitedly thinking about the two toys his sister had bought him, and said innocently: "Sister, here you go, take it quickly, I want toys."
"Look at your silly look." Mengmeng muttered to his brother.
But Cao Yirui didn't understand, and he didn't care at all. In his eyes, what was the use of the red paper in the red envelope? It would be more practical to give him toys.
They were chatting when Cheng Yunping drove over with his wife and children.
When she saw the two nephews, Cheng Xiaolin handed them two red envelopes with 200 yuan in them. Not long after, Mengmeng and her brother also received two red envelopes from their aunt.
There was also 200 yuan in it, that's what it meant.
There was nothing to care about this kind of thing.
My sister and brother-in-law came to visit her mother's house today on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Liu Yingying's family was local, and she knew that she would definitely go to her elder sister and brother-in-law first, and they would go to her house in the evening, anyway, it wouldn't delay anything.
"Brother-in-law, you are the village party secretary now." Cheng Yunping approached his brother-in-law and asked about this matter.
He heard it from his mother, and his mother heard it from her daughter Cheng Xiaolin.
Li Xiaojuan didn't find it strange that her son-in-law was the village party secretary, because her son-in-law had the ability.
Cao Shujie told his brother-in-law that this job was more responsible.
"Does the village party secretary have a salary? Is he a civil servant? Is he a formal official?" Cheng Yunping was more concerned about this.
But Cao Shujie told him that the village party secretary was not a civil servant at all. At best, the local government paid them a salary and they could buy insurance.
Caojiazhuang developed well, and the salary given to him by the higher authorities was a little higher, but it was only more than 4,000 yuan a month, and it was impossible to get more.
However, the village committee had its own allowance every month. Cao Shujie's allowance plus the salary of the village party secretary actually got 6,000 to 7,000 yuan, which was also considered a high-income group.
As for the insurance pension, Cao Shujie never cared about it.
For him, even if he really retires at the age of 60, the maximum pension he can get is a few thousand yuan.
Liu Yingying was discussing children with her elder sister-in-law nearby.
Li Xiaojuan had already gone to cook.
She had just asked her daughter if she wanted to stay overnight, but Cheng Xiaolin also told her that she had other things to do in the evening and would not stay overnight.
After marriage, especially after having children, many things are beyond one's control.
Before marriage, I thought so beautifully that when I have a car in the future, I will drive back to my hometown every two weeks to visit my parents, and the elderly on both sides will take turns to visit them.
When I have a car in the future, I will take my family out for a trip once a month.
But in fact, these are all visions.
For most married people, it is an impossible assumption.
Father-in-law Cheng Rengui has already taken out the wine, which is the Maotai that Cao Shujie brought him before. It is not a big deal to drink some good wine during the New Year when his son and son-in-law are all here.
But Cao Shujie didn't want to drink much, and asked his father-in-law if he had any other wine.
"There are other ones, but they are not very good." Cheng Rengui is a real person.
Cao Shujie didn't care about whether it was good or not. In his opinion, Moutai was just like that.
There was no need for his father-in-law to look for it. Cao Shujie went to the place where the wine was stored and took a look. Finally, he took out the box of local Little Tiger Wine: "Just drink this. I think it's good."
Since his son-in-law said so, Cheng Rengui didn't refute it. As for Cheng Yunping, he had no right to speak and could only listen on the side.
However, after the dishes came, Cheng Yunping had to drink with him.
There were not many people. There were only the old couple and their daughter and son's two families. Everyone didn't have a separate table and ate together.
For Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan, this was what they wanted to see most.
When they get old, they don't want anything else. They say they want to make a lot of money, but in the end, they will give a share to their two children's families.
…
It was not until after 4pm that Cao Shujie and his friends returned. On the way back, his mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan filled the trunk for them again. Some were fried New Year goods, and some were vegetables grown by her family. Cao Shujie always said that they had everything at home and were not short of things, but his mother-in-law didn't think so. She emphasized that the house was theirs and these things were put there by the old couple.
You can't go back empty-handed after visiting your mother's home.
On the way back, his wife Cheng Xiaolin drove.
As a female driver with many years of driving experience, Cheng Xiaolin's driving skills are still very stable.
It's just that at this time when they went back, others also went back. When they returned to Caojiazhuang, it was already past 6 o'clock and it was completely dark.
As soon as he got home, he heard laughter coming from the house. When he went in, he found that his uncle and his family had come.
"Uncle, I was thinking of visiting you tomorrow. Why did you come early?" Cao Shujie looked at his uncle Wang Jialiang and was very happy.
Meng Yanmei was cooking with her eldest sister Wang Yuelan in the kitchen. When she heard her nephew Cao Shujie's voice, Meng Yanmei looked outside and said, "It's the same wherever we go. We don't know the difference."
Wang Shouzhi was sitting nearby serving tea and water to his grandfather, uncle and father. When he saw his cousin's family of four returning, Wang Shouzhi quickly stood up to greet them.
After Long Hongxia became pregnant, her physical condition was not good and she often felt sleepy. She was sitting on the sofa and chatting with her cousin Cao Huifang.
Seeing her cousin and sister-in-law coming in, she also stood up.
She might have gotten up violently, and her body was still shaking a little. Fortunately, Cao Huifang was there to support her in time, and asked her to sit down quickly: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Long Hongxia waved her hand and told her it was okay.
"I'm just a little anemic. I'll be fine if I rest for a while." Long Hongxia told him.
Cheng Xiaolin, who had just entered the house, also saw something strange about Long Hongxia. She quickly put down what she was holding and went over: "Hongxia, sit down quickly. You must rest more."
"Sister-in-law, it's really okay." Long Hongxia said stubbornly.
Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "I know it's okay, but for the sake of your child, you have to get more rest."
This sentence touched Long Hongxia's heart, and she sat down on the sofa obediently.
"Did you just say anemia?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.
Long Hongxia nodded: "I went to the hospital for a check-up and found nothing wrong except anemia."
"This is easy to handle. I'll get you some whole-wax deer antler slices. You can take one every two days to replenish your qi and blood and weaken your body." Cheng Xiaolin told her.
Long Hongxia knew how valuable the wax velvet antler slices were, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Cheng Xiaolin didn't give her this chance at all. Then she got up and went to the room where the velvet antler slices were kept. It didn't take long before she got back a box in a transparent box. Chopped deer antler slices.
"It's all full of wax, you just need to hold it in your mouth." Cheng Xiaolin said generously.
This box is worth a lot of money, but if it is given to my family, they are willing to take it.
Not to mention Long Hongxia, even Wang Shouzhi was very grateful and kept saying thank you to his sister-in-law.
Wang Jialiang and Meng Yanmei, who helped in the kitchen, were also very grateful.
The daughter-in-law is pregnant, but has been anemic. They also bought donkey-hide gelatin for the daughter-in-law, but the effect is not very obvious. In addition, the daughter-in-law is weak and dare not let him eat too much. The doctor has told them to eat some good deer antlers before. Tablets can also alleviate this problem.
They let their daughter-in-law eat the velvet antler slices that their nephew had given them before. After eating, the effect was really good. When they came this time, Wang Jialiang and Meng Yanmei actually discussed privately with their nephew to buy some.
After all, there are two different things between the nephew giving it and them taking the initiative, but they didn't expect the nephew's wife to take the initiative to get the deer antler slices for their daughter-in-law.
This matter was a trivial matter to Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin, and they didn't take it to heart at all.
Cheng Xiaolin asked her younger siblings: "Hongxia, what time did you come here? Why didn't you call to say anything?"
After hearing Long Hongxia say that they arrived at Caojiazhuang just after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and knowing that her cousin and cousin-in-law had returned to her parents' home, Wang Yuelan originally thought of calling her to tell her, but they refused to do so.
If my cousin and sister-in-law don't come back tonight, this phone call will be like urging them to come back, which is not good.
After waiting for Mengmeng and Cao Yirui to run in, Wang Jialiang took out the red envelopes he had prepared and gave them one each as soon as he called his uncle.
Look at the thickness of the red envelope, it’s really quite a lot.
What is surprising is that as soon as Cao Yirui received the red envelope, he handed it to his sister in front of everyone and shouted: "Sister, I want a big truck."
This scene of operation stunned everyone.
When they still didn't understand what was going on, Cheng Xiaolin told the story. They heard that Mengmeng abducted her brother's red envelope and promised to buy him toys as interest. The adults laughed.
Adults usually don't care about this. They think that children are playful and have no concept of money, so this is normal.
But Cao Shujie didn't see it that way. He realized that he might have underestimated his son.
This kid will only turn two years old in a few months. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so thoughtful, but Cao Shujie observed carefully and found that he was really thoughtful.
Not to mention other things, red envelopes were given to his sister in front of everyone, and he also knew to ask for toys every time he gave them.
These actions of his may have been subconscious, but they fit in with some strategies and put his sister in a dilemma.
When he had time, Cao Shujie returned it to his wife and said, "Wife, have you noticed that Ruirui has a lot of thoughts?"
"What's wrong?" Cheng Xiaolin was thinking about going to the kitchen to serve food when she suddenly heard her husband say this and became curious.
After Cao Shujie told his wife what he had just guessed, Cheng Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief: "Isn't this a good thing? At least he is not a big fool. When he grows up, he will not be coaxed by some girl to give away our family property." Sent out."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Xiaolin didn't talk any more and went to the kitchen to help.
Cao Shujie stood there and thought for a while, feeling that what his wife said made sense.
Cao Shujie also took out white wine, red wine, and fruit wine, and asked his uncle and cousin to drink some more in the evening.
But his cousin wanted to drive, which was a really strong reason. Considering that his younger brother and sister were pregnant, Cao Shujie didn't dare to take the risk and asked him to drink juice to accompany him.
The uncle also asked about several renovation projects in their village and when the park would open.
The roller coaster in the park has been erected. When passing by the road on the west side, it is easy to see the track of the roller coaster, which is as high as more than ten floors.
This makes many people in Caojiazhuang happy, but also worried. They are thinking that if they rush down from such a high place, can they really survive?
That is more than ten floors high. If they really fall down, they will not be able to survive.
Some people also say that when the roller coaster is running, the fastest speed can reach 80 or 90 miles per hour, which is the speed of a car.
There is wind blowing in the front, without any protection, it is scary to think about it.
But some children are not afraid. They are looking forward to playing on the roller coaster after it is built.
For them, this thing is exciting, and the more exciting the better.
Otherwise, they are not willing to play roller coasters.
"Uncle, the park will open in mid-March, not earlier." Cao Shujie said.
Whether it is the roller coaster or the transformation of the barren mountain, they have been rushing to meet the deadline before the New Year.
It will only stop during the Spring Festival, but it will resume after the sixth day of the first lunar month. Everyone is rushing to meet the deadline as early as possible.
We will try to ensure that the park and orchard can be open normally before mid-March.
After listening to his nephew, Wang Jialiang had an idea in his mind.
He also subconsciously asked: "Shujie, when you open both parks, how many people will come to play?"
"It's really hard to say. After all, it has been more than three months since the park was closed in October last year. Many people may have forgotten about this place." Cao Shujie was not too optimistic.
But Wang Jialiang didn't believe it. He said that the reputation of the Children's Theme Park and Mengmeng Orchard has been spread.
Especially during the National Day tourism last year, in 7 days, the number of visitors to the Children's Theme Park and Mengmeng Orchard combined exceeded 1 million. When this number broke out at the time, it immediately caused a sensation in the tourism industry in the province.
Even Pan Jianglong, director of the Yiling Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, did not expect this result. He thought that hundreds of thousands of people were already amazing at the beginning, but he didn't know that the final result was far beyond imagination.
Of course, some people questioned the authenticity of this number, but the photos taken by aerial photography can show people what a huge crowd is.
Cao Shujie was more open-minded. He asked his uncle if he was interested in setting up a stall after the park opened.
Wang Jialiang was really tempted when he heard this.
He had wanted to come here before. With so many people, he could make money by selling anything. Unfortunately, he was afraid of causing trouble for his nephew, so he didn't even mention it.
Now that his nephew took the initiative to bring it up, Wang Jialiang hesitated for a while before asking, "Will it not cause you trouble?"
"Uncle, these two places are mine, and I have the final say." Cao Shujie said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
