Cao Shuxin, the second brother who does business by himself, is more realistic, and he asked a very simple and unpretentious question: "Brother, your investment here is not small, right?" How much income can I earn in a year? ”

Cao Shujie didn't hide it, he pointed here and said, "Brother Xin, it's hard to say. ”

Cao Shuxin thought that his cousin didn't want to discuss money-related issues, and was thinking about changing the topic, and the next moment he saw his cousin raise his hand and point around with himself as the center.

"Brother, let's just say that this piece in front of us, I have contracted a total of 78 acres, and this year, these basic investments, seedling investment are all added up, and the investment in it is almost 1 million."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the north and said: "There are 117 acres of mountainous land with barbed wire fences, which I also invested and contracted, and the rent alone is nearly 700,000 yuan, which has not yet been officially used. ”

"......" Cao Shuxin was silent.

Don't talk about him, the eldest brother and the two sisters-in-law next to him were also silent after hearing this.

Uncle Cao Jianlin didn't expect that the seemingly inconspicuous orchard in front of him would invest so much, he asked his younger brother Cao Jianguo: "Jianguo, I remember that your previous investment was not so big, right?" ”

"Brother, I'm different." Cao Jianguo pointed to the surrounding barbed wire fence and said: "Shujie alone invested almost 200,000 yuan in this fence before and after, and it took tens of thousands of dollars to drill holes and wells in the mountains, and it cost more than 200,000 yuan to bury these pipes in the ground, and there are many others. ”

The second sister-in-law Ren Jingjing's mother's family also has more than a dozen acres of land, which grows conventional agricultural crops such as corn and wheat, and she normally buys chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and does not invest as much as her cousin Cao Shujie said.

"Brother, your total investment is 2 million, and you have made a lot of money in the past few years in the capital." The eldest brother Cao Shubin teased him.

Cao Shujie rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "Brother, what do you want, in order to operate normally after I contracted these two pieces of land, the loan alone will be more than 3 million, and I will have to pay it off in 3 years." ”

To say that he didn't stress at all was false.

Hearing his cousin say that the loan was more than 3 million yuan, and he would have to pay it off in full after 3 years, Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing, the two sisters-in-law, felt the pressure that came to their faces the moment they were sisters-in-law.

They all have mortgages at home, but they only look like two or three hundred thousand, which used to be too much, but now compared with their cousins, what is their little loan.

Cao Shubin was not simply frightened by this number, he became more and more curious about one thing: "Brother, you have invested so much, how much money can you make this year?" Can I get my investment back? ”

Cao Shujie shook his head: "It's hard to say." ”

"Brother, you see the kiwi fruit saplings and apple saplings over there were just planted this year, and they won't be able to bear fruit next year, which means that these fruit trees will have no income for at least two years, but in the year after tomorrow, it shouldn't be a big problem to earn money to repay the loan."

"Over at the strawberry farm, if nothing else, it should be able to sell at a good price in the spring of next year, as well as kiwifruit from the old orchard." Cao Shujie was talking, when he suddenly heard a sound of 'mooing', but it was Cao Shuchao who was sprinkling feed on the cows, causing more than a dozen cows to scream.

He turned to look at the north again, pointed to the eldest brother and the second brother, and said, "And over there, I have 50 cows, which is a bit of a coincidence, the price of beef has been rising in the second half of this year, and I am thinking that I should be able to sell it at a good price next year." ”

When Cao Shuchao saw Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin, he chatted enthusiastically for a while.

Only then did Cao Shubin know that his cousin had also recruited a long-term employee. No matter how you look at it, his cousin does have a long-term development in mind.

……

When they came down from the mountain, they were still discussing what they had just seen and heard in the orchard.

None of them expected that such an inconspicuous-looking orchard would have such a big investment.

Before it was over, their cousin threw in almost 2 million.

I didn't see it with my own eyes, I couldn't imagine it.

On the other hand, the brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin thought that if they could have an income of 100,000 yuan a year in the countryside, they also wanted to abandon the slightly depressing life in the city and return to the countryside.

But the problem is that they know very well in their hearts that even if they come back, they will not be able to do this step for their cousin.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have never seen the scene of the Yellow River frozen, and they want to go to the dam to see it.

Cao Shujie and they all drank, and it was definitely not possible to drive, plus it was not very far, so they finally walked over.

Cao Zhenghu has watched the Yellow River all his life, and in his early years, he was still holding boats on the Yellow River to make money and feed his family, but he was not interested in that side at all, so he went home to rest first.

It's only been a year since he went to the old family, and Cao Zhenghu can't understand why the second family's family has changed so much.

Back at home, as soon as he entered the house, Cao Zhenghu felt something different, and said: "The sun is about to set, how can the house be warmer than in the morning." ”

"Dad, we burned the heating ourselves, and the sun was good in the morning, so it didn't turn on." Cao Jianguo took his father and eldest brother to the small room where the heating boiler was placed, pointed to the boiler inside, and said to the two of them.

"Sometimes the sun is not good, Shujie burns the boiler all day, and the house is really warm." Cao Jianguo said with a smile.

At this moment, Cao Jianguo simply wanted to share everything his son did with his old father and eldest brother.

After Cao Shujie and the others came back from the Yellow River, Cao Jianlin looked at his nephew and didn't know how to praise him in admiration.

The eldest sister-in-law Zhang Yi and the second sister-in-law Ren Jingjing walked to the Yellow River for a walk, and after coming back, they felt a little tired and wanted to rest for a while.

Even Cao Yichuan and Cao Yixin are usually so lively, but they are tired and out of energy at this time.

There was still some time to eat dinner, so Cheng Xiaolin took them upstairs and asked them to rest for a while.

While walking, he said to the two sisters-in-law: "Sister-in-law, the house has just been renovated not long ago, and the bed and bedding have just been bought at the home mall in the center of Yiling. ”

"Oh, I'm really causing you trouble." Sister-in-law Zhang Yi said embarrassedly.

Cheng Xiaolin waved her hand and said, "It's okay, we are all a family, sister-in-law, why are you so polite." ”

Seeing the two nephews following behind, Cheng Xiaolin also asked them: "Yichuan, Yixin, you two also find a room and live by yourself at night." ”

At this time, the advantage of having more rooms at home is further highlighted, that is, willfulness.

Even Mengmeng, who was following behind, heard her mother say this, and she shouted: "Mom, I want to live by myself." ”

Hearing her daughter mention this issue, Cheng Xiaolin said to her: "You can't do it yet, it's too young, just wait." ”

"No, I'm a big kid." Meng Meng firmly disagreed.

Seeing Meng Meng's eyes wide open and making a fool of herself, several people laughed.

After reading several houses, Zhang Yi was envious in her eyes and asked her younger sister Cheng Xiaolin: "Linlin, how flat is your house?" ”

"The two floors add up to more than 300 square meters, I didn't ask the specifics." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Zhang Yi estimated that he also had this number.

And the more than 300 square meters at home are real, unlike buying a building outside, and there is a shared area of at least ten percent.

If it is calculated according to 300 square meters, dozens of square meters of public pools will be gone, which is very pitted!

With the exception of the master bedroom, the remaining rooms are much the same.

Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing definitely didn't choose the master bedroom, and finally chose two rooms against the north wall, which were heated and not afraid of the cold.

Cao Yichuan and Cao Yixin and their brothers chose a room, and the brothers were ready to chat all night.

When Cheng Xiaolin took Mengmeng down from the 2nd floor, Mengmeng was still unhappy, saying that she was tired and wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest for a while, but Cheng Xiaolin always felt that she would make more trouble.

Downstairs, Cao Zhenghu was sitting and drinking tea in the living room, and it could be seen that his physical fitness was indeed okay, he started to take the car in the morning, and went to the orchard after eating at noon, and he still didn't feel tired.

Or maybe he knew that his eldest son and two grandsons were going back tomorrow and wanted to take advantage of this time to chat with them more?

Cao Shujie was also beside him, watching his grandfather chatting with them, and it was only when he calmed down to chat that he knew what the two cousins were doing.

In Cao Shubin's words, he is a department manager in a foreign factory, and his monthly salary is fixed, more than 10,000 yuan.

The only thing that has changed is that there is a profit dividend at the end of the year.

In a better situation, it can be divided into 108,000 yuan, and under normal circumstances, it is 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, and the other is to increase the salary every year.

According to Brother Lobby, if the company does not have major problems, his job is really good, drought and flood to ensure a bumper harvest, and the key is to create surprise year-end profit dividends from time to time.

The two pieces add up to about 300,000, not to mention in Anyi City, even the ordinary class in the province are very mixed.

As for the more than 60 people in his department, Cao Shubin knows very well that it sounds good in name, but in fact it is really nothing.

Rather, it was inferior to the only employee on his cousin's side, which were of two different natures.

However, Cao Shujie is still quite optimistic about the second brother's business, and when he heard the second brother's complaints, he also advised the second brother not to just look at the momentary gains and losses, but to look at the long-term.

Suffering a loss is nothing more than a long lesson and experience in advance, at least the next time you encounter the same problem, you will consider it carefully.

Cao Shuxin also knows this truth, he was tricked by the previous seller, and he was not happy.

As for the money lost, Cao Shuxin was in pain for a while, and now there are some stable receiving channels, which will soon make up for this part of the loss, and Cao Shuxin didn't pay much attention to it.

"Shujie, if your fruit is ripe, where will you sell it?" Cao Shubin is still quite curious.

Hearing his cousin say that it is usually picking, and the second one is that a dealer who specializes in buying high-quality fruits came to buy his fruits in batches, Cao Shubin felt that his cousin was really mixed up.

Cao Shujie also took out the rest of the apples for them to taste.

The apples have been put for almost two months, but the moisture in the apples is still sufficient, and the taste is still very good. Pack me some with it. ”

"Second brother, don't worry." Cao Shujie packed the ticket.

At the beginning, the remaining 400 catties were originally intended to eat part of it themselves, and the rest was divided among relatives and friends.

At the end of the day, Cao Shubin and the others were actually quite tired, and after dinner in the evening, they went upstairs to rest without chatting for long.

……

On the second morning, after having breakfast at home, Cao Shubin and the others were ready to leave.

There are still some things to deal with in Anyi City, and Cao Yichuan and Cao Yixin and their brothers also have a lot of homework to finish.

Cao Shujie couldn't persuade them, and after telling his mother, he began to prepare things for the uncle and two cousins to take back.

What flour, cornmeal, noodles, home-grown apples, etc., these pure local specialties, Wang Yuelan also packed them with a bag of vegetables grown by herself.

The brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin said that they didn't want anything, but Wang Yuelan said: "Take it, there is no shortage of food at home, and you have to spend money to buy everything you eat outside." ”

"Your brother also said that he would like to get more vegetables and more when you come back next year."

"Auntie, take care of your body." Cao Shubin said.

His father and mother divorced their brothers when they were very young, and in a sense, the brothers were single-parent families with many shortcomings.

When they were young, their aunt Wang Yuelan made clothes for them and prepared food and drink for them.

Some things may be overlooked, but some feelings will never be forgotten.

When they were about to get in the car and leave, Uncle Cao Jianlin suddenly walked up to his grandfather Cao Zhenghu, knelt down without warning, and kowtowed three times to Cao Zhenghu: "Dad, I'm leaving, I'll pick you up next year." ”

"Go back, I'm in good health, don't just hang on to me, don't go." Cao Zhenghu pulled his eldest son up from the ground, and Cao Shujie found that his grandfather's eyes were a little cloudy.

Cao Jianlin stood up, and then said to his two sons and grandsons: "You also go and kowtow to your grandfather and grandfather." ”

"Don't mess with all this nonsense." Cao Zhenghu wanted to stop them, but Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin each moved quickly with their sons.

A few minutes later, the car had already gone away, but Cao Zhenghu was still standing in place, unwilling to go home for a long time.

Just like when he returned to the capital after the Chinese New Year, his mother looked at him.

Cao Shujie accompanied him at the door and asked his parents to go back first.

"Dad, I'm also with my grandfather." Meng Meng looked up on her little face, and the smile on her face was very cute and pure.

This very healing smile made Cao Zhenghu's mood instantly better than half of it.

He bent down to look at Meng Meng and said to her, "Little clever ghost, what do you want to do?" ”

"Grandpa, I'll play with you." Meng Meng said.

She is young and doesn't think too much when she speaks: "Grandpa, let's play a game of riding a big horse." ”

When Cao Shujie heard this, his face turned dark, with his grandfather's physique, no matter how good it was, Cao Shujie didn't dare to let him bend over for a long time, what did Meng Meng want to do!

Fifteen thousand on Saturday, pay off the accounts of the first two days!
