Chapter 350: Mengmeng, Auntie Take You Out to Play (4000/12,000)
"Brother, why are you so busy now, I've been back for three days, and I basically haven't seen anyone with you except for breakfast." Cao Huifang watched her brother enter the door covered in dirt, and began to complain again.
Cao Shujie looked at his sister, and also looked disgusted: "Fangfang, you finally took a National Day holiday, and you didn't go out to travel with your classmates, what are you doing when you come back?" ”
Cao Huifang exploded when she heard this, and shouted loudly: "Brother, what do you mean, you don't like me coming back to be an eyesore, right?" ”
"You're thinking too much." Cao Shujie told her unhurriedly: "There is an old saying, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, you go out more and look around, and feel the humanistic customs of various places, which is more meaningful than reading dead books in the classroom." ”
"Doesn't it cost money to go out?" Cao Huifang threw out such a sentence.
Cao Shujie was changing his slippers at the door, and when he heard his sister say this, Cao Shujie's feet were suspended in mid-air and did not move.
After a while, he changed into slippers and entered the house: "Fangfang, you don't have enough money to spend?" ”
"Brother, enough flowers, I really don't have anything I want to play, let's talk about it later." Cao Huifang said.
Her current money is either earned by herself from a summer job, or given by her parents and brother, she knows how difficult it is to earn money, but she is reluctant to spend it everywhere.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't go to town today, and took a day off at home.
Hearing her sister-in-law say this, Cheng Xiaolin also persuaded her: "Fangfang, it's okay, you go around and see more." ”
After finishing speaking, Cheng Xiaolin looked for her bag everywhere, and finally saw the white handbag lying there in the corner of the sofa, she took out a stack of money from the bag, turned around and handed it to his sister-in-law: "Oh, take it, while there are still 5 days of vacation, you can also go out for a walk." ”
Cao Huifang watched her sister-in-law give her money, and she was very moved, but she still muttered: "Okay, you all have to drive me away." ”
"Auntie, I also have money, I'll give you 100, you can go out and play quickly." Meng Meng followed up with a knife.
Cao Huifang looked at Meng Meng, she was sad, her eyes rolled, and she thought of an idea: "Meng Meng, will my aunt take you out for a few days?" ”
"No, Dad won't agree." Meng Meng said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Shujie said, "You follow your aunt, I agree." ”
A smile flashed on Cao Huifang's face: "Mengmeng, your father agreed." ”
Mengmeng was not in a hurry, and said again: "No, what Dad says at home doesn't count, and I have to listen to my mother, and my mother doesn't agree with me going out to play." ”
But Cheng Xiaolin didn't help her this time: "Mengmeng, you go with your aunt to play, I'll give you some more money, and you can play outside for a few more days." ”
"Mom!" Meng Meng's voice became particularly sharp.
Looking at the malicious smile on her mother's face, and then looking at her aunt, Meng Meng was about to cry.
However, when she turned her head and saw the old grandfather Cao Zhenghu sitting on the chair, she hurriedly ran over.
The little face is like a pear blossom with rain, which makes people feel very pitiful when they look at it.
"Grandpa, I'm going to play with you." She said.
Cao Zhenghu glared at his grandson and granddaughter, and finally picked up Mengmeng with a smile and put it on his lap: "Mengmeng, don't cry, the old man is here, I'll see who dares to take you away." ”
"Hmm!" Meng Meng was happy again.
With the old grandfather backing her up, Meng Meng trembled again in an instant.
Cao Shujie didn't see it, he said, "I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first." ”
Cao Huifang was about to go out, and whispered, "I'll go out and make a call." ”
Only Cheng Xiaolin didn't move in place, and she also asked Cao Zhenghu: "Grandpa, if you want to eat something at noon, I'll make it for you." ”
"Just make something to eat, I can't eat much." Cao Zhenghu said.
He was really angry with this granddaughter-in-law, and stroked Mengmeng's little head with his hand, and asked Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, what do you want to eat at noon?" ”
"Shrimp." Meng Meng said.
After Cheng Xiaolin heard it, she said, "Then I'll go and see if there are any shrimp in the refrigerator and make you an egg scrambled shrimp." ”
"I'm looking at doing something else." She said.
Cao Shujie came back from the field, and he went around in the morning to see how the kiwi saplings were planted.
With Cao Jianzhen's guidance and Cao Shuchao's assistance, the problem of planting is not big.
When the water is diverted for irrigation, the wells that were originally drilled in Caojiazhuang are running at full power, so that the saplings can drink at one time.
However, at this time, it can be seen that watering is still a bit of a problem, Cao Shujie pondered and went back to discuss with Cao Jianlong, and re-selected a few places to dig wells for watering.
As for irrigation with water from the aqueduct, this one is a bit difficult.
Nearly half of the year, the canals are dry, and it is better to expect water to be released from the upper reaches than to expect a heavy rain from God, which is not reliable in itself.
After taking a shower, put on a new set of clothes, and throw the clothes you just changed into the washing machine and wash them.
Cao Shujie came to the first floor again and saw his grandfather and Mengmeng playing cards in the living room, but Mengmeng belonged to the expert-level blind playing cards, and she made most of the trouble.
His wife was busy in the kitchen, and Cao Shujie turned around and went in to help.
The chicken thighs are cut into pieces and soaked in a stainless steel basin, and there is a half plate of celery next to it, which is ready to be stir-fried.
A plate of cyan shrimp is thawing.
A piece of tofu was cut into a one-centimeter square shape, and Cao Shujie knew that his wife should make fried tofu with green onions.
"What are you doing here?" Cheng Xiaolin was a little disgusted when she saw Cao Shujie coming in.
If you can't help and make trouble, it's purely a disservice.
Cao Shujie was thick-skinned enough, he said: "I'll see what work I can do, you can just be busy with yours." ”
Half an hour later, Cheng Xiaolin made three dishes and one soup, asked her husband to bring out all the dishes, and prepared for lunch.
At the dining table, Mengmeng suddenly asked him, "Dad, when are we going to see the eighth floor?" ”
"Eighth floor, what eighth floor?" Cao Shujie hasn't reacted yet.
Mengmeng said a little anxiously: "It's the No. 2 car parked on the eighth floor." ”
Cao Shujie was very surprised by this incident, but he didn't expect his daughter to remember it.
The little guy's memory is really not bad.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't understand what was going on, Cao Shujie said: "Wait a few days, now on the National Day, there are too many people playing outside, and in a few days, after there are fewer people, let's go to Xinjiang to see the eighth floor." ”
"Okay, I'm going with my grandfather, huh." Mengmeng's jaw flew.
Cheng Xiaolin also asked her husband what was going on, and then heard her husband explain the reason.
"Now that you're so busy, are you still in the mood to go to Xinjiang?" Cheng Xiaolin said him.
Cao Shujie didn't care, he said: "At most, 10 days and half a month, let's go around and come back." ”
Cheng Xiaolin thought to herself that her husband really dared to say it.
But since her husband has decided, Cheng Xiaolin has no objection.
He also said: "You tell your parents, and we will go together when the time comes." ”
"Okay." Cao Shujie agreed.
But Mengmeng reminded him: "Dad, didn't you say last time that you would bring grandma?" ”
Cao Shujie looked at his daughter, his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and even Cheng Xiaolin laughed, feeling that this girl was not raised in vain.
"Mengmeng, we haven't been to your grandma's house for a long time, let's go in two days, and ask your grandma in person if you want to go, what do you think"
"Okay, I miss grandma too." Meng Meng said.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are seamless, a total of 9 days of holidays, 4 days have passed, and it can be seen from the TV news reports that the scenic spots outside are full.
Many people know that they are traveling to see people at this time, but they still have to go.
There is a way, except for these small long vacations, the usual rest is very tight, and I can't save a piece at all.
Besides, the purpose of everyone going to work is to earn money, not to take leave to go out and have fun, and for most people, they can only take advantage of this small long vacation to relax.
The kiwi fruit saplings have been completed, and the cattle breeding is also in full swing.
Including Cao Jianhua's farm that Cao Shujie just bought, he planned to raise 300 calves in it, and after the detoxification, Cao Shujie had already contacted Cao Zhenggang of the construction team to help him renovate.
The road, including the way up the mountain, has also been resurfaced.
Automatic drinking water equipment was also reinstalled.
It took 175,000 yuan to transfer the farm from Cao Jianhua, but the rest of the road paving, automatic drinking water equipment, and infrastructure renovation in the farm cost Cao Shujie more than 200,000 yuan, which is much higher than the transfer fee.
Even so, Cao Shujie didn't save any money that should have been spent, and he knew very well in his heart that if he didn't spend this money now, he would spend more in the future.
……
A few days later, Cui Jingguo called Cao Shujie, in which he told Cao Shujie that 600 calves were ready and asked him when he would send them.
At this time, it was already the end of the National Day, the temperature gradually dropped, and the people who were originally dressed in cool clothes also felt the coolness of the sudden drop in temperature, changed into sweatshirts, and wrapped themselves tightly.
"Boss Cui, you wait for the 8th to send it to me." Cao Shujie said.
He was worried that in the last two days of the National Day, there would be a lot of people returning, and the road should be very congested.
The 600 calves are all in the car, and if the traffic is a little longer, it is easy to have problems.
Cui Jingguo naturally agreed, and he also had concerns in this regard.
Cao Shujie will agree to whatever he says now.
The original order of more than 100 calves suddenly received a call before the holiday, which increased nearly 6 times!
Because of this, in terms of price, Cui Jingguo did not raise the price significantly.
He knew very well in his heart that it was not worth it at all, it was better to have a good relationship with Cao Shujie, and doing long-term business was the king.
This transaction is all calves under 300 catties, or according to the original price, 3,300 yuan a head, a total of 1.98 million yuan, even for Cao Shujie, this is not a small amount.
told his wife about this matter, and Cheng Xiaolin had no opinion at all.
This year, selling strawberries, kiwifruit, apples, and the 50 slaughtered beef cattle also made their family very rich.
Under such a premise, let alone buying 300 head of cattle, as long as the place is big enough, these 600 heads will be covered by them, and Cao Shujie can afford it.
Moreover, many villagers in Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village have begun to plant pasture, and when the grass grows, Cao Shujie will purchase it at the market purchase price, and the cost of raising cattle in Cao Shujie will be much lower than that of other farmers.
And the meat quality of the cattle is also better.
……
October 8th is also the cold dew in the 24 solar terms.
Early in the morning, the loudspeaker hung on the wooden pole of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee began to shout again.
It was Cao Shujie who shouted.
This time, he informed all the farmers in Caojiazhuang who had signed up to raise cattle that they would come over today to receive the calves and settle the calves' money at the same time.
Cui Jingguo came to Caojiazhuang with three trailers, but had to stop at the north end of Caojiazhuang.
The two large cement stone piers at the head of the village blocked the trailer, and it was impossible to pass at all.
Cui Jingguo contacted Cao Shujie, and then found an excavator to temporarily move one of the stone piers, and then let two of them be dragged into the village.
But in this process, Cao Shujie has been following the whole process.
Every time he arrives at an intersection, Cao Shujie will go over to guard the intersection first, and when he sees children playing on the road, Cao Shujie will also go over to disperse them and let them go to a safe place first.
All the way to the foot of the farm on Nantou Mountain, along the newly paved road up, to the end of the farm, Cui Jingguo looked at the farm in front of him, he really admired Cao Shujie.
"Boss Cao, how much does it cost?" Cui Jingguo was very interested.
Seeing Cao Shujie stretch out four fingers, Cui Jingguo sighed with emotion: "If you dare to do this, I don't dare now." ”
"Hey, Boss Cui hasn't made less money this year, right?" Cao Shujie teased him.
But Cui Jingguo said: "It's different, to be honest, I don't earn as much as you." ”
"I was in a hurry before, but now the cost of buying calves and breeding costs have come up, and I really don't make money this year." Cao Shujie said.
Cui Jingguo didn't believe what he said.
Cui Jianjun and two people were already waiting here, and saw two trailers driving up. It was full of calves, and they were very excited.
Guarding an empty farm every day, cleaning as soon as they come here, although Cao Shujie promised to pay them wages normally, they are still very panicked, and they always feel that this is not safe.
Now, for the next year, they will be dedicated to the 300 cows.
The trailer stopped in the farm, the rear fence was opened, and the cattle were down the exit.
This unloads the truck quickly.
In less than two hours, all 300 cattle were unloaded.
There was still a portion of the calves left on one of the trailers, which had been bought by the rest of the village.
After finishing the work, let Cao Jianjun and the three of them watch here, Cao Shujie took Cui Jingguo and two trailers and slowly returned to Beitou, and when he went home, he transferred 990,000 yuan to Cui Jingguo through online banking.
The remaining 300 calves were not digested by the villagers of Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong until the evening.
By this time, Cao Shujie and the three projects they had planned before had all been implemented, and all that remained was to do a good job in management and wait for the harvest season next year.
