Chapter 149: It's Just an Appetizer (4000/10,000)
Thinking of this, Ma Wenqian felt that her efforts over the years were still worth it.
But obviously, Cao Shuchao's mind was not so delicate, and he didn't notice the change in his wife's expression, let alone what his wife thought in her heart.
He continued: "I didn't expect Shujie to pay me a salary at the end of the month, but according to what he told me today, if nothing happens, it should be paid to me at the end of every month in the future." ”
"I don't have any other skills, just work hard, do more work, and if I can't do it, I'll go a little earlier and leave a little later."
"In this case, by the end of the year, we will have these two months of money, and during the New Year, we will also buy more New Year's goods, buy you a new dress, let's have a good New Year, do you say okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Ma Wenqian responded again and again.
She could have said it, but now she didn't know what to say, her emotions were still a little excited, and her eyes were still red.
For the first time, Ma Wenqian felt that her man was not useless, and he could support this family.
After Cao Shuchao saw it, he stretched out his hand and wiped the corner of his wife's eyes twice, and said with a sincere smile: "What are you crying about?" Why are you crying, if I do something wrong, just say it! ”
"You didn't do anything wrong, it's because I always thought you couldn't do anything, I felt that you didn't have the ability to make money, and I always disliked you......" Ma Wenqian was a little ashamed, and didn't know what to say.
Hearing his wife say this, Cao Shuchao waved his hand: "Hey, what else should I do, I really can't make a lot of money......"
When he wanted to say something more, he looked up at the quartz clock on the wall, it was almost 1 o'clock, and he became anxious: "It's bad, the time is almost up, I have to hurry up and work in the orchard." ”
After saying that, he ran out in a panic, and he really wanted to put on a pair of wings and fly over.
Ma Wenqian couldn't help laughing when she saw him like that from behind.
……
There is really nothing beautiful about the mountains in winter.
If it weren't for Cao Shujie who asked Song Shuli to plant holly last time, it would be difficult to even have a little green on the mountain now.
Looking at the past, there are lonely tree trunks and branches everywhere, waiting silently in the cold one by one, slowly thickening their own heritage, only waiting for themselves to bloom in the coming year.
In winter, it is even colder on the mountain, and a few people feel a little unbearable after staying in the mountain for a short time.
Cao Shujie contacted Cao Zhenggang again and asked him to choose a flat land in the orchard and build a house for himself with a steel structure frame and color steel plates.
Cao Shujie went to the town to find a seller to install an air conditioner, turned on the heating, and the warm air blew out of the air conditioner, and a few of them eased up.
From this day on, they didn't have to stand in the cold wind all the time after they were busy, and they didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
No, Cao Shujie, Cao Jianguo and Cao Shuchao are resting in the small room at this moment, looking at the gloomy sky outside, chatting casually.
"The weather forecast says that it will snow in the near future, and it seems that this time it is true." Cao Jianguo said.
He chattered: "This year's drought and if there is no more snow, the wheat seedlings in the field will be finished." ”
But Cao Shujie shook his head, the weather forecast began to say 'there will be snow recently' since the beginning of last month, but more than a month has passed, and I haven't even seen a single snowflake.
Cao Shuchao looked at the sky and said in his heart that he didn't want snow.
In his mind, if it really snows, he won't be able to go to work by then, right?
If he can't go to work, he won't be able to make money, and for him, the money he gets is the most real.
The three of them were blowing the air conditioner and drinking hot water in the small house, and after feeling warm, they walked outside again.
Cao Jianguo also mentioned: "Shujie, you take the time to buy a stove and put it in the house, not only to warm up, but also to boil some water and cook some food." ”
This is a good idea, and even Cao Shuchao nodded: "Uncle Jianguo, I see it." ”
"Okay." Cao Shujie agreed.
Unconsciously came to the breeding area and saw 50 cattle eating feed, Cao Shujie was very satisfied.
It has been 4 months since I bought them back from Cui Jingguo, and after coming to Cao Shujie, the forage and good feed have been prepared, and their weight has doubled compared to when they first came.
If this trend continues, we can consider selling it in the summer and autumn of next year.
"Okay, that's good, this year is just an appetizer, and next year will be a big harvest." Cao Shujie thought in his heart, he felt that life was getting better and better, and life was getting more and more rushed.
Compared with the feeling of being busy in the capital before, but never seeing the end, Cao Shujie feels that he is the real life now.
Just thinking about the beautiful thing, Cao Jianguo called him: "Shujie, let's go to the cowshed to have a look, if it really snows, don't have an accident." ”
With that, he pushed open the small door on the barbed wire fence and went straight to the cowshed.
Cao Shujie and Cao Shuchao followed behind, and it didn't take long for them to come here.
Cao Jianguo looked at the simple cowshed and was a little worried: "Is this okay?" ”
Cao Shujie heard his father say this, and slapped directly on the H-shaped steel stand next to him: "Dad, don't worry, I asked Grandpa Zhenggang to build a frame with H-shaped steel, and the color steel plate with screws on the top can also make the heavy snow collapse." ”
If none of these are possible, then many factories will not be qualified.
This is no joke.
Cao Jianguo really wanted to kick his son, he said: "Who said about the collapse, I mean what to do if you fill it with snow again, who told you something else." ”
Cao Jianguo's scolding Cao Shujie stopped talking.
As for the fruit trees, even if it really snows heavily, Cao Jianguo is not worried.
The vitality of fruit trees is very tenacious.
A cold wind blew, Cao Jianguo shivered from the cold, it was too cold for the past two days.
The weather forecast said that there was a cold snap coming, and when he thought of this, Cao Jianguo was a little worried, according to the original plan, his old father would come over next Saturday, and he didn't know if there would be an unexpected change in the plan.
Cao Shujie didn't expect this, he went to the strawberry planting area to take a look, there is the protection of the film, coupled with the drip irrigation every once in a while to supply the nutrient solution to promote growth, the strawberry seedlings have not appeared abnormal so far.
Coming down from the mountain, the three of them separated at the foot of the mountain, and Cao Jianguo and Cao Shuchao walked south.
Cao Jianguo also said: "Shujie, if it snows at night, I'll come back and take a look." ”
"I'll come too." Cao Shuchao took the initiative to say.
"Dad, Brother Chao, you don't have to come over, if it's really snowing, I'll just go up and have a look." Cao Shujie said.
The house is on this side, and Cao Shujie is less than 500 meters away from the orchard, which is this slope road, which is convenient for him.
"It depends." Cao Jianguo and Cao Shuchao left.
Back at home, Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "Shujie, I just looked at the weather forecast and said that there is moderate snow here on our side, so it's okay in the orchard." ”
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
"Well, eat first." Cheng Xiaolin had already prepared dinner and waited for Cao Shujie to come back to eat together.
The temperature has been capricious in the past few days, for fear of making Mengmeng catch a cold again, so she has been staying at home for the past few days and has not gone out.
Wang Yuelan will come over to see her every once in a while and play with her for a while.
Seeing that her father was back, Mengmeng then ran over to play with him.
"Daddy, I'm going to hang out." Meng Meng was stuffy at home, and the whole person didn't look energetic.
Cao Shujie laughed and said, "Okay, wait for two days to get warmer, and Dad will take you to the city to play." ”
This time, he didn't go to the county seat, and by the way, he went to Yiling City to see his sister.
His sister Cao Huifang has not been back since the summer vacation started, and occasionally makes a phone call, but his mother Wang Yuelan is still worried.
"Okay." Meng Meng was happy when she heard it.
She automatically ignored the time of 'two days', turned her head and ran towards her mother, shouting for her mother to dress her and hurry up.
Cao Shujie was a little dumbfounded, and emphasized to her over and over again: "Mengmeng, let's not go now, you see it's dark outside, let's go again after a while." ”
"Oh!" Meng Meng lowered her head in disappointment and stepped aside, looking like no one wanted to deal with her.
Cheng Xiaolin complained about her daughter: "This bear child is used to skin, and now it won't work to let her be quiet for two days." ”
"It's okay, I'll see if it's good in two days, I'll take you out for a walk." Cao Shujie said.
"Where can I go on such a cold day?" Cheng Xiaolin shook her head, she didn't want to go out, she didn't have to go to work, how warm it was at home.
Cheng Xiaolin felt that she had fallen, and now it was difficult to let her go to work.
Sure enough, the slow-paced life in the countryside is very addictive.
Cao Shujie didn't say much.
When she went to bed at night, Mengmeng was still talking about asking her father not to forget to take her out to play in two days.
Cao Shujie looked at his daughter's chatter and thought it was funny.
I also feel a little guilty in my heart, I've been a little busy these days, and I really don't have enough time to accompany Mengmeng.
When he went to bed that night, Cao Shujie deliberately looked at the sky, and he was relieved that there was no snow.
Until I got up on the morning of the second day, I didn't see a single snowflake, and Cao Shujie began to chatter again: "This weather forecast is not accurate." ”
Cheng Xiaolin also got up very early today, and when she heard her husband say this, Cheng Xiaolin also said to him: "It's not a matter of a year or two if the weather forecast is not accurate, you don't count it in your heart." ”
"......" Cao Shujie had nothing to say.
His wife went to cook, so Cao Shujie put on thick clothes and prepared to go out to walk the dog.
In the sub-zero weather, the two German pastors were reluctant to move, but Daha and Erha, and the two of them seemed particularly active.
Cao Shujie saw the third and fourth children like this, so he didn't take them with him, and led Daha and Erha out.
Turning east, he came to the barrage dam of the Yellow River, and the cold wind was blowing, and Cao Shujie was so cold that he didn't want to stretch out his hands.
There are usually fewer people coming to the dam, but today is a ghost weather, and even fewer people are coming.
Unleash the leash for Daha and Erha, and let the two of them run around for a while.
In the past, Daha and Erha would stop running for half an hour, but today they didn't, and the more they ran, the more excited they became, as if they especially liked when it was cold.
Daha and Erha also raised their heads and howled at the sky from time to time, which made Cao Shujie quite confused about their behavior.
Even if their ancestors had wolf genes and wanted to howl at the moon wolf, but the moon went down early, and the sun showed half of its face, what did they call it?
Cao Shujie couldn't understand it, but it didn't prevent him from watching Daha and Erha's performances from the side.
Before I knew it, more than an hour passed, Daha and Erha stopped, and the two dogs ran to Cao Shujie's side and rubbed Cao Shujie's leg with their heads, and they became more and more intimate with Cao Shujie.
Bring them home, after breakfast, Cao Shujie went to the orchard to meet his father and Cao Shuchao, Cao Shujie couldn't help but complain: "Dad, this weather forecast is still not accurate." ”
Cao Jianguo glanced at his son with squinted eyes, too lazy to say anything about him.
Cao Shuchao next to him said: "I read the calendar, tomorrow is heavy snow." ”
He is talking about solar terms, Cao Shujie also knows this, there are still 15 days to go is the winter solstice, and there is only more than a month left before the Spring Festival.
Cao Shujie asked his father, "Dad, have you called my uncle?" Will they come over next week? ”
Cao Jianguo nodded, and he said, "If nothing else, they will all come over next week." ”
"Your eldest brother, second brother, they want to see your orchard." When Cao Jianguo talked about this, he was still very proud in his heart.
In the entire Caojiazhuang, there are few people who are more capable than his son.
After being busy for a while, Cao Shujie called Cui Jingguo and told him on the phone that he wanted to buy another batch of calves after the year.
"How much more does Boss Cao want to buy?" Cui Jingguo has been to Cao Shujie and knows something about his financial resources and place.
He had a hunch in his heart that Cao Shujie might be a big order this time.
Sure enough, then I heard Cao Shujie say: "Let's have 100 heads first." ”
Good one comes first!
"Okay, I'll prepare it for you in advance, when will it be delivered?" Cui Jingguo is also very happy.
Cao Shujie thought for a while and said: "Let's celebrate the New Year, there were a lot of things before the year, and I really can't spare my hands." ”
This is all human nature, and there are a lot of things on Cui Jingguo's side, they agreed to contact each other after the New Year, said a few words of blessing to each other, and hung up the phone.
Cao Jianguo heard his son calling next to him, and after watching him finish the call, he asked him: "Shujie, is it okay to buy so much?" ”
"Dad, it's okay, you can rest assured." Cao Shujie pointed to the 50 cows in the breeding area not far away and said, "Look over there, aren't they all very good?" ”
"By the time the summer comes, they'll be slaughtered."
"When the time comes, you'll be able to dedicate time to the little ones."
Indeed it is.
Cao Shujie pointed to the more than 100 acres of area used for breeding in the north and said: "Such a big place can't be empty all the time." ”
He said, "I'll buy the calves first, and I'll buy some lambs later." ”
"If you want to raise pigs, raise them less." Cao Shujie has a plan in his heart.
Cao Jianguo saw that his son was not buying blindly, so he didn't say anything else.
Cao Shujie originally thought that the weather forecast was still inaccurate this time, but what he didn't expect was that the snow would start to fall in the afternoon.
Looking at the dense snowflakes in the sky, Cao Shujie thought that his wife mentioned the weather forecast last night that there was moderate snow, and it was really small to see that the snow was so small this time!
