Seeing that the two of them were going to immerse themselves in research, Cao Shujie took the lead and called them to eat.

"Don't work so hard. When the laboratory is built and all the equipment is in place, there will be plenty of work for you to do." Cao Shujie grabbed Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi.

I took them to have a meal at the Fuxing Hotel in front.

While eating, the two of them were still talking to Cao Shujie about their various whimsical ideas.

At this time, Cao Shujie would also express his thoughts and discuss them with them.

Cao Shujie must admit that he really likes this atmosphere.

He is also a research enthusiast, otherwise he would not have made something like a 'nutrient solution'.

In addition, Cao Shujie originally created the first-generation nutrient solution, and some of his fantastic ideas gave Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi great reference value.

It is also much smoother to derive the second-generation nutrient solution from the simulated state.

However, the second-generation nutrient solution developed by Cao Shujie was only an incomplete version. In recent years, because he did not have the relevant equipment, he almost never touched it again.

When three people were discussing together, every time an idea was proposed, he would get stuck and perform various simulation calculations in his mind.

The three of them were so obsessed with discussing these things that the meal took a bit long.

The waiter knew that Boss Cao Shujie was entertaining guests, but no one came to disturb them during the banquet.

While Cao Shujie and the three of them were waiting to leave, the waiter went in to clear the plates. It was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Because he was drunk, Cao Shujie did not drive.

He called Song Baoming again and asked him to drive to Fuxing Hotel.

He separated from Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi and strolled to Qingshi Town Central Primary School alone.

Mengmeng came out of school and saw her father standing at the school gate. She ran directly towards him, threw her schoolbag to him, turned around and looked for the car, but couldn't find it: "Dad, where is your car? It's so hot that it kills me."

Come on, get in the car and turn on the air conditioner."

The weather in June is extremely hot, especially around 4 pm, when it is also muggy.

Cao Shujie said to her: "The car is at the entrance of the hotel. Let's wait here. Your uncle Song will drive over in a moment."

Mengmeng came close to her father, smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, and instantly understood. With a sly look, she pointed at Cao Shujie and said, "Dad, are you drunk that's why you dare not drive?"

It was as if she had discovered her father's little secret, and she seemed to be threatening him: If you don't do me any favors, I will expose you.

"Dad was talking to people about things and didn't drink much." Cao Shujie didn't hide anything from her, and it wasn't a big deal.

As he was talking, Song Baoming drove over in his Range Rover.

After the car stopped beside him, Cao Shujie opened the back door first and let Mengmeng get in. Then he sat in the front seat and said, "Old Song, take me back to Caojiazhuang."

Song Baoming nodded and said nothing more.

On the way, Mengmeng reminded her father that their school would be out for summer vacation soon.

Cao Shujie really didn't want to talk to her, but he also knew that if he didn't tell her again, this girl could nag her all the way home: "Don't worry, Mengmeng, I told your mother a long time ago that she will take you with her after your vacation."

Go out and play.”

After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie said to Song Baoming: "Old Song, after Mengmeng goes on summer vacation next month, you can drive the original GL8 and take my parents and their three mothers out for a spin."

"Okay!" Song Baoming agreed without any hesitation.

Back at Caojiazhuang, Mengmeng said to Cao Shujie and Song Baoming: "Goodbye, Dad, and goodbye, Uncle Song."

After saying that, she pushed open the car door, jumped out, and ran towards home.

"This kid doesn't look like a girl at all." Cao Shujie complained.

Song Baoming smiled and said nothing.

…

"Oh!" When Daha saw Cao Shujie coming in, he stood up on his two hind legs and spread his teeth and claws in the air with his two front legs.

"Daha, what do you want to do?" Cao Shujie leaned over and touched its head.

Daha's dog's head was also twisting back and forth on Cao Shujie's neck, looking particularly intimate.

Grandpa Cao Zhenghu was cooling off under the shade of the trees in the yard, fanning himself back and forth with a cattail leaf fan in his hand, which seemed particularly comfortable.

He watched his grandson playing with Daha and started laughing too.

After a while, Cao Zhenghu called him: "Shujie, come here."

After hearing this, Cao Shujie went to wash his hands first, then walked to his grandfather and rubbed his shoulders and arms, but as soon as he put his hands on his, he felt that his grandfather's body was full of bones.

Being truly skinny made Cao Shujie feel bad, and his grandfather lost a lot of weight.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Zhenghu said: "Is the school going to summer vacation soon?"

"Yes, it will be released next month. Mengmeng released it a little early. Their school will release it on the 5th." Cao Shujie told him.

"Junior high school and high school may be a little later, around the 15th," Cao Shujie said.

In fact, he wasn't sure.

Cao Zhenghu nodded and said to his grandson: "Shujie, then call your brothers and tell them that when Yichuan and Yixin go on summer vacation, ask them to come back and stay for two days."

"Oh, okay, I'll tell them." Cao Shujie agreed.

This was about a WeChat video. Cao Shujie didn’t even hesitate. He called his cousin Cao Shubin for a WeChat video chat in front of his grandfather. After his eldest brother’s profile picture appeared on his phone, Cao Shujie said to him: “Brother, grandpa misses you.

, I want you to wait for the summer vacation in Yichuan and come back to stay for two days."

"Okay, I'll go back after Yichuan's summer vacation." Cao Shubin agreed.

The fruit trees he planted last year will not bear fruit until next year at the earliest. He is not busy at this time.

Moreover, my son will take the college entrance examination next year and will be very busy when he enters his senior year of high school next semester. He will have less chance to go back then.

Cao Shujie also asked his first cousin to chat with his grandfather for a while, and then sent a video to his second cousin Cao Shuxin, saying the same thing.

The second brother, Cao Shuxin, also agreed happily.

"Grandpa, when Yixin goes on vacation, we will definitely go back." Cao Shuxin said to his grandfather.

Looking at his grandfather's thin face, Cao Shuxin felt bad.

Besides, he also wanted to go back and see his old father, Cao Jianlin.

We got together during the Chinese New Year, but we hadn't seen each other for only a few months, and suddenly I realized that these older generations were very old.

After hanging up the video chat with his cousin, Cao Shujie didn't rush into the house. He chatted with his grandfather outside for a while and asked his grandfather if he wanted to go out to play together next month.

"Shujie, my body would fall apart even if I took two steps out for a run." Cao Zhenghu said.

He knew well that he was already 89 years old this year, so he had better not cause any trouble to his children.

Cao Shujie was a little disappointed when he heard his grandfather's rejection, but he didn't say much.

Grandpa has not been able to go out with them much in the past two years because of his health.

I usually hang around at home, and occasionally I go out to chat with my old friends.

But as the older people in the village have passed away one after another in the past two years, there are fewer and fewer old people who can talk to Grandpa.

Until now, grandpa almost never goes out.

This situation is not good, but Cao Shujie has no solution now.

When grandpa was in poor health before, he could still take him to seek medical treatment and take him to see Dr. Lu, but even Dr. Lu passed away...

To be disrespectful, Grandpa Cao Zhenghu has actually lived longer than Cao Shujie could remember in his previous life.

Cao Shujie didn't know if this was a disguised form of helping his grandfather change his life. However, due to his limited ability, Cao Shujie wanted his grandfather to live to be a hundred years old, but it was difficult to do so in practice.

Wang Yuelan came in from outside holding her grandson's hand. When she saw her son and her husband chatting in the yard, Wang Yuelan said hello to them.

After Cao Yirui saw his father, he broke away from his grandmother's hand and ran towards his father, yelling for Cao Shujie to hug him.

"Ruirui, you weigh over 30 pounds, I can't hold you." Cao Shujie refused.

But the little guy didn't agree. He stretched out his hands and wanted his father to hug him.

"You are really an ancestor." Cao Shujie bent down and picked up his son, his arms obviously dropped a bit, and he really felt that his son had gained weight.

Cao Zhenghu looked at this little guy, and he also laughed happily.

With four generations living under one roof, a grandson and a granddaughter by his side, Cao Zhenghu felt that his life was worth living.

Wang Yuelan put her grandson down and went to the kitchen to finish cooking.

Cao Shujie watched his son outside and played with him to prevent him from entering the house and disturbing his sister's homework.

When I chat with my grandpa again, I feel that time flies by very quickly.

His wife came back on an electric bike as it was getting dark.

When she saw the three people in the yard, an old man, a middle schooler and a middle schooler, she called out "Grandpa" and then called her son over.

"Shujie, Boss Xu from Quancheng is coming to pull cattle in two days. Did I tell you?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband.
