Passing by the old orchard, I saw that there was no here, and there was no water under the fruit trees.

In contrast, the two of them are more worried about the new fruit tree seedlings next to them that were planted only last year.

However, after more than a year of growth, as well as Cao Shujie's drip irrigation nutrient solution regardless of the cost, these new fruit tree seedlings have also grown very vigorously.

The root system is also very deep into the ground, after a heavy rain, it is more like the baptism of these fruit tree seedlings from the inside out, sinking away, under the headlamp, the fruit tree appears more active!

"Lao Zhu, wait, there is a bit of water here, let's open the ridges of the field and release the water." Cao Jianjun called out to Zhu Shengliang, who continued to walk forward.

Zhu Shengliang looked over, just like Cao Jianjun said, there was a pool of stagnant water not far from the right hand.

When the light shines through, the ground is a little reflective, but if you don't look closely, it's easy to ignore that side.

The two worked together to dig up the ridges with shovels and slowly drain the stagnant water.

They continued on their way, stopping to deal with problems until they came to the deer park.

When the lights passed, I saw that there were several sika deer standing in the light rain, walking in the rain, as if they were taking a bath from the rain, which seemed very comfortable.

In the cattle farm next door, there are many calves running in the rain, occasionally lowering their heads to take a few sips of the rainwater.

Thanks to the fact that this is a remote countryside rather than a city with a high concentration of industrial development, and the proximity to the Yellow River, the rain is relatively clean.

These calves found out about the arrival of Cao Jianjun and Zhu Shengliang, they were not afraid at all, and a few calves deliberately ran to the barbed wire fence, raised their heads, and looked at the two outside through the barbed wire fence.

After a while, one of the calves made a 'moo' sound, and it recognized Cao Jianjun and Zhu Shengliang, who often gave it grass and fodder, and were good people.

"Go to bed, when is it, it's still raining here, and I'm not afraid of catching a cold." Zhu Shengliang said.

It's a pity that the calf doesn't understand, it's still wandering here.

The two of them opened the door on the barbed wire fence, locked it again, and then went in and took a turn.

Take a look at the room dedicated to feed, don't get damp, it's hard to get it then!

Fortunately, Cao Shujie is very willing to spend money in this area, and there is no problem with the quality of the house.

When they returned to the hut at the south gate after turning around the orchard of more than 200 acres of land, the rain had stopped, and the dense dark clouds in the sky had not completely dispersed, and it looked more like the next one would happen at any time.

A gust of wind blew, and the two of them felt a little cold.

When I entered the house, I saw that it was almost seven o'clock.

After this busy circle, both of them felt tired and hungry.

"Lao Zhu, let's go down the mountain to have a bowl of beef soup?" Cao Jianjun asked Zhu Shengliang and said, "I invite you." ”

"Then we have to go!" Zhu Shengliang was not polite at all.

His electric car is placed under the same shed next to the sieve basin, covered with a tarpaulin, so that it will not get any rain.

"Let's go!" Cao Jianjun also said.

In the middle of the night, the two of them really felt shriveled and hungry.

I don't want to eat instant noodles, ham sausages, and pepper chicken feet at all.

Zhu Shengliang went to get an electric car, and Cao Jianjun originally wanted to send a text message to Cao Shujie, but typing was also troublesome.

He looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, and Cao Shujie must have gotten up at this point.

He simply called.

Sure enough, Cao Shujie quickly connected the phone.

Cao Jianjun gave him a detailed account of the situation last night, and also said that he and Zhu Shengliang were now going to the farmhouse restaurant at the foot of the mountain to drink some beef soup.

"Uncle Jun, you go, I'll please, tell him to put more meat on you, I said." Cao Shujie said.

There is a person who specializes in making breakfast at the farmhouse, and he mainly sells beef soup and oil cakes.

It can't be said that business is very hot, but people come to eat this bite every day.

After Cao Jianjun finished making the call, he sat in Zhu Shengliang's electric car and went down the hardened road outside the barbed wire fence to have breakfast from the north.

……

Cao Shujie got up early in the morning, and saw that the yard was a little messy, thinking that his grandfather would have to go out for a walk after waking up, he was not in a hurry to go up the mountain, but first cleaned up his home and the door of his house, and after a simple breakfast, he walked towards the mountain.

After a night of heavy rain, the air in the sky and the earth seemed to be much fresher.

The dust that had been floating in the sky was gone, and the dust on the leaves, flowers, and fruit trees was washed away.

At a glance, the leaves are green and very clean.

Cao Shujie walked inside, and after going deep into the orchard, there was no hardened place on the ground, and it was a little muddy when he stepped on it.

However, as Cao Jianjun and Zhu Shengliang said, there is no problem in the orchard.

The 20 sika deer in the deer park have all run out of the deer hutch at this time.

They are looking at the world after the heavy rain cleans, and maybe they feel that it is cleaner like Cao Shujie!

More than 200 cattle walk up and down the farm, trampling on the ground, and occasionally there is standing water in the area where they trample 'popping' sounds.

The stagnant water was trampled by the cow's hooves and splashed everywhere, and some calves found it particularly interesting to tread water and play, and also specially found a place with puddles, rolled in it, and washed the cow's hooves.

He even beckoned his cow friends to come over and play.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming, they were not afraid, and the naughty cow shook the cow's hooves and threw the water on Cao Shujie, and the cow that had done bad things screamed excitedly.

Before Cao Shujie finished reading, Zhu Shengliang and Cao Jianjun, who had a bowl of beef soup and a pancake for each person, and two spoonfuls of soup each, came back.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming over so early, the two of them were a little embarrassed.

But Cao Shujie was the first to speak and said, "Uncle Jun, Master Zhu, you two worked hard last night. ”

"Hey, it's all as it should be, we also work with money, we can't be lazy!" Zhu Shengliang scratched his ears embarrassedly, and touched his forehead again, as if he had nowhere to let go.

After Cao Shuchao and Zhuang Xuesong came over one after another, they rearranged the orchard after the rain.

But that doesn't mean it's over.

The dark clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed, and the clouds had been torn apart by the sun's rays, revealing a ray of light, but before nine o'clock, the heavens and the earth seemed to be dark again.

Cao Shujie looked at the changes in the sky, and he was also speechless.

Say to the few people who are still working, "Run, go to your room and rest for a while, don't get wet." ”

"Shujie, it's okay, when I used to work, I was often exposed to the rain, and my clothes were worn on my body, and it didn't take long for the sun to come out!" Zhuang Xuesong said.

Zhu Shengliang also means this, when they used to work on the construction site, it was very common for them to be drenched in the rain.

are all big men, how can they be so hypocritical.

But Cao Shujie disagreed, and shouted to them: "Why don't you run for me, go to the hut to hide from the rain first." ”

Seeing that Cao Shujie was angry, the four of them ran towards the hut.

Before they could reach the place, the ray of light cast by the sun, which had managed to penetrate the dark clouds, disappeared completely.

It was clear that it was broad daylight, but it was instantly plunged into darkness.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, it was dark, and people's eyes couldn't adapt to the current environment at all, and before they could see clearly, someone fell.

Cao Shujie also shouted: "Who is crooked, where?" ”

"Boss, it's me...... ...... hiss," Zhu Shengliang shouted.

He said, "I just stepped on the air and fell, and I may have broken my foot." ”

The three men who were running in front of him fell back to help him.

Cao Shujie took out his mobile phone and used the 'flashlight' function that comes with the mobile phone to illuminate the surroundings and show them the way.

The four of them cooperated, and first carried Zhu Shengliang to the hut to lie down and rest.

Cao Shujie took out the first-aid kit placed in the hut and gave Zhu Shengliang a temporary treatment of the place where his feet were broken.

Spray him with Yunnan Baiyao spray again, and the cool liquid fell on the skin, Zhu Shengliang instantly felt much better, and the place where he broke his foot didn't seem to hurt so much.

After a while, there was a 'crackling' sound outside, the raindrops the size of beans were blown by the wind and smashed down on the windows, and the outer walls of the small room with color steel plates were very noisy, making people feel a little messy.

"It's not too small this time." Cao Shujie looked outside and said.

He Zhu Shengliang: "Master Zhu, how are your feet?" ”

"It's not a big problem, it doesn't hurt so much after spraying just now." Zhu Shengliang said.

Adults are different from children, and they can tolerate pain.

Zhu Shengliang still wanted to hold on until the afternoon, so he went to the health center to have a look and get a little medicine to reduce swelling.

The rain came suddenly.

The rainfall was even heavier than last night, the sky outside was still dark, the lights were on in the hut, Cao Shujie and the five of them sat in the hut, slowly waiting for the rain to become smaller.

At this time, even if they wanted to go out, Cao Shujie stopped them.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Shujie's mobile phone rang, he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was his wife Cheng Xiaolin calling and asking him how he was.

"I'm fine, the orchard is fine, don't worry." Cao Shujie said: "I will wait for the rain to stop before going down the mountain and go home. ”

"Then you come back slowly, don't worry." Cheng Xiaolin told him.

Cao Shujie agreed.

The second rain, which came somewhat abruptly, did not stop until just after one o'clock in the afternoon.

The dark clouds that had been obscuring the sky also dispersed a bit.

When the sun shone on the earth again, and when they saw the sky bright, Cao Shujie and the others became different.

"Master Zhu, how is it, does your foot still hurt?" Cao Shujie did not forget Zhu Shengliang's foot injury.

Seeing Zhu Shengliang take two steps on the ground, although he said that it was okay, Cao Shujie could see that his face became very bad when he walked, which was not enough.

"Master Zhu, you wait here, I'll ride your electric car down, drive the car up, and take you to the hospital to take a film." After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he rode Zhu Shengliang's electric car down the mountain, and he didn't give him a chance to refuse at all.

Zhu Shengliang raised his hand and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhuang Xuesong, Cao Jianjun and Cao Shuchao all looked at Zhu Shengliang with concern.

Cao Jianjun also asked him: "Lao Zhu, can't you really stand up?" ”

"It hurts a little, but I can bear it." That's what Zhu Shengliang said.

Hearing him say this, Cao Jianjun understood: "Don't hold on, go and see first, just don't hurt your bones." ”

"I feel fine, I should be fine with a day off." Zhu Shengliang said.

Cao Shujie drove his GL8, asked Cao Jianjun to go with him, and helped Zhu Shengliang to go to the county central hospital in Pingyuan County.

After a set of photographs and examinations, there is no problem with the bones, but the muscles are twisted.

Cao Shujie asked the doctor to prescribe more anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicines, and then took them from the hospital to Caojiazhuang back.

"Master Zhu, I'll send you home directly later, don't think about anything, just rest for two days first." Cao Shujie said.

No one could have imagined that in this big day, the weather would change as soon as it was said, and the darkness would come so quickly.

Zhu Shengliang wanted to refuse the boss's kindness, but he really couldn't stand now, and it hurt if he stood a little longer.

He said helplessly: "I've never rested since I followed the boss, and this time God can't see it." ”

"Haha, Master Zhu, don't say that, it seems that I have become Zhou Papi." Cao Shujie laughed and teased him.

But they all know what is going on in each other's hearts.

Cao Shuchao, Cao Jianjun, Zhuang Xuesong and Zhu Shengliang have never come to Cao Shujie to work, except for the Chinese New Year, or if there is something at home that they can't come, they really don't have the idea of taking a day off because they feel tired.

In their pure thinking, they earn a day's money by working for a day, and they are the pillars of the family, and the family is also in need of money, how can they have time to rest?

Cao Shujie drove Zhu Shengliang to Dongtao Village, and drove until the door of Zhu Shengliang's house, Zhang Hong heard the shouts at the gate, ran out and saw that his husband had to be supported by someone to walk, and instantly felt a palpitation, and the sky was about to fall.

"Lao Zhu, what's wrong with you?" She was a little excited.

Fortunately, after explaining the situation, Zhang Hong breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that her man was just twisting his muscles and resting for two days.

When Cao Shujie and Cao Jianjun were leaving, Cao Shujie also took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Hong: "Sister-in-law, this money is not much, you buy some pork ribs for Master Zhu to stew, make up for him, don't dislike it." ”

"Boss Cao, what are you doing here, I can't ask for it."

Zhang Hong was a little in a hurry, she subconsciously wanted to refuse, she really didn't want this money.

Her man works in Cao Shujie's orchard, and he specially invites her family members to eat together with the gifts for the New Year's holidays, the usual bonuses, and the wages that will be paid when the time comes.

Everything made Zhang Hong very grateful to Cao Shujie, and she felt that if she reached out and took the money, she would look down on herself.

They all earn money to eat in the crops, so what's the point of falling down?

But Cao Shujie insisted on giving.

Seeing Zhang Hong come out and return the money to him, Cao Shujie took it, and after getting in the car and closing the door, he opened the crack in the window again, put the money in a plastic bag and threw it out.

"Sister-in-law, buy some ribs for Master Zhu, let him get better quickly, and he has to go to work in my orchard soon!" Cao Shujie shouted.

At that moment, Zhang Hong felt an inexplicable emotion surging in her heart, she picked up a stack of money wrapped in a plastic bag on the ground, and only felt that her man was working with Cao Shujie, and there was nothing wrong with it!
