Chapter 1145 Uncle, Please (8000)

Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing watched the siblings making a fuss, and they wanted to laugh, too. They had never seen such naughty children.

Speaking of which, Yichuan and Yixin were honest compared to the two brothers and sisters.

"Sister-in-law, let's make a braised catfish tonight." Cao Shujie asked his wife and two sisters-in-law to take a look at the catfish in the bucket. It was really big.

It was very difficult to catch it on the bank of the Yellow River. It was estimated to be at least 3 jin. Now that he was home, Cao Shujie found the electronic scale and weighed it, and found out that this guy was more than 4 jin.

"It's quite big." Cao Shujie sighed.

The brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin also nodded. This fish was the largest one among the three brothers who caught it today.

The largest of the remaining fish was not even half of it.

Zhang Yi looked at the catfish's mouth full of fine teeth after it opened, and then looked at it so active in the bucket, and was a little scared: "How to braise this thing?"

She didn't dare to start.

It was the eldest brother Cao Shubin who said, "You don't know how, I'll do it."

He also said, "Wash it and chop it into pieces, fry it in half, add garlic cloves, bean paste, and large pieces of ginger to the half, and give them to the little ones to eat."

"We can use dried chili peppers and tofu for the rest, it will be very fragrant!"

When he said that, even Cao Shujie was greedy.

"Brother, then this job has to be handed over to you." Cao Shujie was not polite either, and he had to be conscious of eating when he came to eat.

Cao Shubin took the responsibility.

Grandpa Cao Zhenghu listened to them chatting outside, came out of the house, and saw the catfish in the bucket, he was also very interested.

"From the Yellow River?" he asked.

Seeing the grandchildren nodding, Mengmeng and Cao Yirui rushed to take credit before they could speak, saying, "Grandpa, Dad caught it from the Yellow River."

"Haha, that's really not small." Cao Zhenghu sighed.

Just when Cao Shujie was about to be proud, he heard his grandfather say: "But the catfish in the Yellow River are not good now, not as big as when we were there."

Cao Shujie and his three brothers looked at each other and then looked at their grandfather.

But Cao Zhenghu said: "You guys are still young, it's normal that you don't know. When we were young, the catfish in the Yellow River were really big. Any one of them weighed more than ten kilograms, enough for the whole family to eat for several meals."

"They have also seen catfish weighing more than 100 kilograms, but I haven't seen them." Cao Zhenghu was a little regretful.

Cao Shujie and his three brothers seemed to be listening to a book of heaven. They had never heard of this.

Not to mention Cao Yichuan, Cao Yixin, Cao Yirui and Mengmeng.

Cao Shujie screamed: "Grandpa, is there such a big fish in the Yellow River?"

"Yes, how could there not be one?" Cao Zhenghu seemed to be lost in memories. He said: "I also heard that there is a catfish king in the Yellow River. It has lived for more than 100 years and must be more than 300 kilograms. Its mouth is as big as a door panel when it opens."

"Grandpa, is that a whale?" Mengmeng asked curiously.

She goes to the aquarium every year, so she naturally knows what a whale is, but she has never heard that a catfish can be so big.

"Will it eat children?"

When Mengmeng thought of this, a fearful expression appeared on her face.

Cao Zhenghu looked at the cute appearance of his great-granddaughter and wanted to tease her. He smiled and said: "I heard that it will eat disobedient children. Many children are disobedient and run to the Yellow River to take a bath by themselves. In the end, they can't get up. They are all taken away by the catfish king."

"Ah!" Mengmeng was frightened and widened her eyes. She stepped back several steps and almost fell down.

It was still Cao Shujie who stepped forward and hugged her.

Cao Zhenghu didn't expect this to happen. He was quite worried. Fortunately, his great-granddaughter was fine.

Time passed quickly while they talked and laughed.

Before they could prepare lunch, Cao Shujie called the farmhouse and asked them to send some food over so that they could have a simple meal at home.

After finishing the work, he took his grandfather to the south to see his grandfather.

When he came over, he saw that the old house opposite was now a bakery. People were coming in and out and working inside. A strong smell of bread was wafting from the house. Many children playing on the street were sniffing and trying hard to smell the smell.

After seeing this, Wang Yuelan asked her husband Cao Jianguo to go home and drag out a box of bread and share it with the children.

"Auntie, you can't do that."

When the young people who were watching the children saw Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo doing this, they hurried to stop them. After all, they still had to sell these breads.

But Wang Yuelan told them: "It's okay, let them eat. We have watched them grow up. They have all become big boys. What's wrong with eating bread?"

"Grandma, I'll eat too." Cao Yirui said while rubbing his belly.

He wasn't hungry at first, but seeing so many friends eating bread, he felt hungry too.

Mengmeng also wanted to eat a little more, but she was also worried about whether she would get fat if she ate too much.

Before she made a decision, Wang Yuelan had already stuffed a piece of bread into her: "Mengmeng, eat it quickly."

"Yichuan, Yixin, you guys try it too." Wang Yuelan handed them two more pieces of bread.

Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing didn't stop them.

Cao Shujie and the others were already busy with cooking.

Cao Huifang was playing with her nephews and nieces nearby.

She felt most relaxed these days after returning home, and what made her even happier was that she didn't have to think about work anymore.

After resigning from Yifang Semiconductor Packaging Co., Ltd. and returning to Yiling City, Cao Huifang has just adjusted her work and rest schedule in her hometown these two days, getting rid of the influence of the regular working hours in the past two years.

She has turned herself into a thorough freelancer.

She used to be a little nervous, but now she has completely calmed down and feels that this is also good.

Seeing that her eldest brother and two cousins ​​went home to cook, Cao Huifang and her three sisters-in-law looked at the children together, talked and laughed, talked about the past and the present, and felt that life was so good.

…

Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi came down from Mengmeng Orchard, and they went to the orchard of the Agricultural Planting Cooperative to compare the growth and development of the two kiwifruits.

Caojiazhuang has more than 2,000 acres of kiwifruit planting area. In other words, there are enough samples for them to study.

During this period, they have been doing solid research and have indeed gained something. For the combination formula of the first generation nutrient solution provided by Cao Shujie, they have also found some alternative raw materials with lower cost prices.

But after they prepared the samples, they found that the first generation of nutrient solution was more like a simplified version, while Cao Shujie's previous version was more like a deluxe enhanced version. The effect was much worse.

This was also expected by Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi.

They thought it was normal. For example, something made with a cost of 10 yuan and something made with a cost of 100 yuan could not be compared in terms of quality or efficacy.

The same is true for nutrient solution.

After further research, the two concluded that the first generation of nutrient solution was basically like this.

But a bag of nutrient solution can be divided into two versions for production.

Their next step is to continue researching the second generation of nutrient solution.

Tong Jiayi also asked Fu Xianghui how long it would take to install those equipment.

After seeing the list of equipment that Cao Shujie had arranged to be purchased, Tong Jiayi almost went crazy.

He felt that some of the equipment purchased by Cao Shujie was more advanced and sophisticated than the equipment they used in the institute. He really couldn't understand how an individual's purchase could be compared with the equipment purchased by the institute after the project was specially established and obtained national subsidies, or even better than those equipment.

But Tong Jiayi likes it. After these equipments are in place, they can use them as they want.

Unlike when he was in the research institute before, some more sophisticated equipment needed to be reported before use, and they had to go through layers of approval, and they had to wait for approval before they could be used.

Thinking about the current treatment and thinking about his past, Tong Jiayi can never go back to the past.

At that time, a sentence popped up in Tong Jiayi's mind: "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."

He used to laugh at others for not being able to control themselves, thinking that if such things happened to him, he would definitely have no problem, but he didn't know that it was the same when it really happened to him.

"Brother Fu, are my sister-in-law and nephew here?" Tong Jiayi asked Fu Xianghui.

He already knew that Fu Xianghui's home was bought in Quancheng, and Tong Jiayi didn't feel any difference in treatment.

He understood that everyone's value is different, and when you want better treatment, you can only improve your own value.

When he was in the research institute, the gap between him and Fu Xianghui was still quite large, and the gap in ability between the two was not small.

"They are all here. They came here in advance to get familiar with the environment. Zikang will go to school here in August." Fu Xianghui thought of his wife and son, and his face was full of smiles.

Seeing Fu Xianghui's happy face, Tong Jiayi, who has been single, has some impulse to get married.

But thinking of the rumors after marriage, Tong Jiayi inexplicably has more fear.

After hesitating for a long time, Tong Jiayi asked Fu Xianghui: "Brother Fu, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead." Fu Xianghui was studying the growth of the kiwi fruit in front of him. Hearing that Tong Jiayi had something to ask him, Fu Xianghui turned his head and looked over.

Then he heard Tong Jiayi say: "Brother Fu, is it good to get married?"

"Others say that after getting married, there will be a small quarrel every three days, a big quarrel every five days, and they will break up at any time. Is it true or not?" Tong Jiayi's face was full of curiosity.

Fu Xianghui was a little confused when he heard his question.

He looked Tong Jiayi up and down, and suddenly asked: "Brother Tong, tell me honestly, have you never been in love?"

This time it was Tong Jiayi's turn to be embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly: "No, my family was poor before, and I was focused on studying, thinking about going to a good university. After entering university, I kept following the teacher to study the subject, and I didn't have time to talk. After graduation, I was assigned to the research institute and worked for several years..."

"You also know that in our research institute, except for those who are married, there are research madmen."

"Fuck!" Fu Xianghui was stunned when he heard Tong Jiayi say this.

I never thought that there would be such a pure young man as Tong Jiayi now.

"Brother Tong, how old are you?" Fu Xianghui asked.

"31." Tong Jiayi said.

Fu Xianghui felt a little bit of pain when he heard this age: "Fuck, young and promising!"

He couldn't help but swear, he was not kidding.

He knew that Tong Jiayi's annual salary was 1 million now, and more importantly, Tong Jiayi was very down-to-earth, knew what he wanted, and worked very seriously.

There are not many people of his age who have the same mental cultivation as him.

Moreover, Tong Jiayi has a clear understanding of himself, which is something that many middle-aged people who have experienced the world cannot do.

"Okay, Brother Tong, I can only tell you that marriage is a responsibility. It is indeed tiring to get married, but if you meet a good woman, you will feel willing to give. Do you understand?" Fu Xianghui said.

Tong Jiayi said with a tangled face: "But I see many people say that there are endless quarrels after marriage."

"As if there will be no quarrels if you don't get married?"

It was also a coincidence that a young couple was quarreling not far in front of them, and there were people trying to persuade them to stop quarreling.

Fu Xianghui pointed to that side and said to Tong Jiayi: "Did you see it? I guess those two people are not married yet, don't they quarrel too?"

"Besides, there are more unmarried people who break up and get back together, and there is no record. If you get married and then divorce, at least there is a certificate, which knows how many times you have divorced. Don't you think it's right?"

Tong Jiayi was stunned by what he said. He felt that Fu Xianghui was right.

"Brother Tong, life is not just about work, there are also trivial matters. Take some time to pay attention to other things. You are in your 30s, so hurry up and solve your single problem." Fu Xianghui advised kindly.

Tong Jiayi was a little stunned. He didn't know how to continue the next topic.

...

Two days passed after Cao Shujie and his family had dinner at the old man's place.

Under the chairmanship of Cao Shujie, Caojiazhuang held a village meeting, at which the proposal to open a market in Caojiazhuang was passed.

Deputy Secretary Cao Jianlong and Deputy Director Liu Guoqiang were responsible for contacting the opera troupe and preparing to set up a stage in Caojiazhuang for opera performances.

Everyone told each other and was full of expectations for the opening of a market in Caojiazhuang.

After this village meeting, everyone talked about this matter the most.

Even many tourists who came to Caojiazhuang for tourism knew about this matter. They also wanted to join in the fun and see what it was like to set up a stage for opera performances.

For a while, Caojiazhuang became lively again.

Just when everyone was anxious to know when the stage would be set up for the opera, they heard someone say that the troupe had already been negotiated and would come to Caojiazhuang to set up the stage in the next two days.

It was late July, and it had been a week since Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin came back from Anyi City, and they were discussing their return.

That afternoon, after finishing their homework, the brothers Cao Yichuan and Cao Yixin came to find Cao Shujie.

Perhaps because they had been hanging out together whenever they had time during this period, the relationship between the brothers and their uncle Cao Shujie seemed to be smoother.

There was no estrangement that they could only see once in a year or two.

After meeting Cao Shujie, the brothers immediately chased him to ask about the opera troupe.

They heard about this right after they came back, and they were still thinking about it.

They always wanted to see what a real opera was like before they left.

"Uncle, when will the opera start? Otherwise, please give us a notice and arrange it quickly. If you don't arrange it, we will leave." The brothers howled. (End of this chapter)
