Listening to Cao Shujie's words, Cao Jianlong nodded cautiously: "Shujie, to speak from the heart, that is, you are the village director of Caojiazhuang, otherwise Caojiazhuang will not have any bottom in my heart no matter how it develops." ”

"Uncle Long, you think too highly of me." Cao Shujie smiled, he slowed down the speed of the electric car a little, and Cao Jianlong also slowed down.

"If I didn't have the skills, I wouldn't do it." Cao Shujie doesn't pretend.

"Really speaking, the development of the people of Caojiazhuang is also a mutually beneficial thing for me." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

If the farmers who grow the grass sell to him on a regular basis, they can greatly reduce the cost of raising their cattle.

Those who plant kiwi fruit trees may still ask him to sell fruit when the time comes, and he can make a little difference.

Cao Jianlong somewhat understood what Cao Shujie meant by 'mutual benefit', but he also knew that nothing was done in vain.

And with the existence of Cao Shujie, this is more secure!

Just like their unsalable kiwifruit in Caojiazhuang this year can be sold, in the end, it is all up to Cao Shujie to take over this mess.

Skipping this matter, he asked, "Shujie, how are you outside?" ”

Cao Shujie said with a smile: "It's good, Uncle Long, if you don't go out, I can't imagine that each place has its own development ideas and its own whimsical tricks." ”

"Uncle Long, seriously, it's too exciting outside, we are still too small here, and the foundation is too weak, if you give me another five or ten years, do a good job of the foundation, and develop all aspects, then our Caojiazhuang will be really strong."

Listening to Cao Shujie's description, Cao Jianlong was also enthusiastic, he thought that he was 51 years old this year, and it would not be a problem to do him for another five or ten years.

"Shujie, if you have any ideas, just let it go, we are already so poor here, and we will never toss more poor." Cao Jianlong followed Cao Shujie with an iron heart, leaving no way back.

Caojiazhuang is not big, they rode an electric car, even if the speed was slow, they unknowingly rushed to the door of Cao Jiangang's house.

Park the electric car at the door, knock on the door and go in, and then I heard the voice of the old lady Ren Cuiping: "Who, there are people at home, just come in." ”

"Auntie, it's me, Shujie." Cao Shujie responded.

He and Cao Jianlong walked in with their things.

Cao Jianlong also said: "Sister-in-law, I'm Jianlong!" ”

"Hey, you two can come here, what are you bringing things for?" Ren Cuiping was very happy to see the two of them.

Even though she hadn't taken a few steps, she still came from the house to greet her.

"Sister-in-law, slow down." Cao Jianlong said: "I heard that Brother Jiangang is back, come and have a look." ”

"Auntie, it's cold, you have to wear some clothes, you can't catch a cold." Cao Shujie looked at Ren Cuiping and didn't look at it well, and he admonished.

Ren Cuiping nodded and said, "Come into the house, there's a stove in the house, it's very warm."

As soon as Cao Shujie and Cao Jianlong entered the house, they saw Cao Jiangang sitting on a chair facing the door.

There was a stove lit in the corner of the door of the house, a chimney drilled out of the roof, and the residual heat burned the room warmly, Cao Shujie wore a lot, and as soon as he came in, he felt that his body began to sweat.

"Brother Gang!"

"Uncle, I've come to see you."

The two greeted each other.

At this time, Cao Shujie took a closer look and found that Cao Jiangang's face was very wrong, with an unhealthy white color.

He saw the two of them come in, and was about to stand up, but he was halfway up with his hands on the table, and then sat back down, his body trembled slightly, and his hands kept shaking.

Cao Shujie saw that there was really something wrong with his body.

"Uncle, you sit." Cao Shujie hurriedly put down the things in his hand and went over to help him.

"Oops, the body is a waste." Cao Jiangang spoke like pulling a bellows, very hard, his voice was not loud, and he was a little hoarse.

Cao Jianlong also heard that something was wrong, and he subconsciously asked a little nervously: "Brother Gang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cao Jianlong waved his hand lightly, and he said, "It's okay." ”

How can it be okay!

Ren Cuiping followed behind, she wiped her eyes with her hand, and then said, "Jianlong, Shujie, you two sit down quickly, I'll make you tea and drink." ”

"Auntie, don't make tea." Cao Shujie said.

But Ren Cuiping didn't listen, she had already gone to get the tea leaves and teacups.

At this time, Cao Shujie looked at Cao Jiangang seriously, he remembered that when Cao Jiangang was taken away, although he was over 60 years old, he walked with wind at that time, his body was very strong, his voice was full of energy, and his living conditions were better, his body was very fleshy, and he couldn't see that he was sick at all.

It's like Cao Jiangang in front of him, who weighs less than 100 pounds, and for Cao Jiangang, who has a large skeleton, he is really thin.

His hair was also completely white, and his whole body had become very thin and haggard because of his illness, the bones on his face were clearly visible, his eyes were deep-set, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked even older, like an old man in his eighties.

After Cao Jianlong sat down, looking at Cao Jiangang's face, he was very shaken in his heart: "Brother Gang, what is your situation?" What's wrong? ”

"It's fine." Cao Jiangang said with difficulty.

Seeing his wife bring tea to the two of them, he raised his hand tremblingly and said, "Drink tea." ”

"Huh!" Cao Jianlong took a sip of tea, and he looked at Cao Jiangang: "Brother Gang, you didn't go to the hospital to check." ”

"Checked, it's fine." Cao Jiangang said.

But Cao Jianlong and Cao Shujie are not blind, even if they are medical idiots, they also know that Cao Jiangang's matter is very serious, so it is no wonder that they don't let him stay inside.

This look, to be honest, may have an accident inside at any time, and I am afraid that it will not be clear when the time comes.

Besides, if you send it back, what kind of splash can you toss?

Ren Cuiping said to the two: "I just told the old man that you two returned the moon cakes and rice sent over on August 15, what do you think happened to the old man after hearing it?" ”

"Auntie, uncle is happy." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Ren Cuiping nodded vigorously: "I'm really happy, he cried with joy, saying that he regretted it, and the village committee was still thinking about what he was doing." ”

A smile slowly appeared on Cao Jiangang's haggard face, he raised his left hand slightly, clenched his fist, and only showed a thumbs up: "Do a good job." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Jiangang looked at Cao Shujie, and the look in his eyes was even more satisfied: "You kid also do a good job." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, if we don't blow it, we will definitely do a good job." Cao Shujie said solemnly: "I have to bring Caojiazhuang out of the show." ”

"Okay, I'll wait." Cao Jiangang may have talked a lot, and he had trouble panting.

"Old man, you can drink some water too." Ren Cuiping took the kettle and handed it over, and the kettle turned out to be the kind of thermos cup with straws used by children.

He took a few sips with a straw in his mouth, as if remembering something, he drooped his head a little embarrassedly, and after a while, he raised his head again, watched the two of them shake their wrists, and said, "I, no." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about." Ren Cuiping's eyes were anxious when she heard this, and her eyes seemed to be ready to cry at any time.

"Auntie, how is my uncle's investigation?" Cao Shujie asked Ren Cuiping.

Cao Jianlong also wanted to ask, looking at Cao Jiangang's appearance, four words popped out of his mind: "Terminally ill!" ”

He always felt that Cao Jiangang's illness was not light this time, and it was very likely that he would not last long.

"The doctor said that his blood vessels were blocked, his heart was not good, and there was no good place in his body." Ren Cuiping said.

"Then why didn't you stay in the hospital?" Cao Shujie was puzzled.

Ren Cuiping pointed to her wife Cao Jiangang: "He won't let him, and he will die in a hurry." ”

There's no way around it!

Cao Shujie understands this kind of patient's uncooperative feelings, which can make good people get sick urgently.

Cao Jianlong also persuaded him: "Brother Gang, if you go to the hospital for a few days, you have rural medical insurance, and it won't cost a few dollars." ”

"It's not about money." Cao Jiangang said with difficulty.

……

Cao Jianlong and Cao Shujie stayed at Cao Jiangang's house for another 10 minutes, chatting with Cao Jiangang and Ren Cuiping, during which Cao Shujie also persuaded Cao Jiangang to go to the hospital to take a look again, but he still couldn't persuade him.

Looking at the obvious tired expression on Cao Jiangang's face, Cao Jianlong and Cao Shujie said goodbye and left.

When leaving, Ren Cuiping wanted to leave them at home for lunch, but neither of them agreed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Jiangang needs to rest and recuperate at this time.

Riding an electric car to the east, Cao Jianlong also asked him: "Shujie, is there anything else?" ”

"It's okay, Uncle Long, you have something to order." Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Jianlong said: "If it's okay, let's go to the village committee to drink some tea." ”

"Let's go!" When he was about to reach the middle avenue, Cao Shujie remembered something, and he said to Cao Jianlong: "Uncle Long, you go first, I'll go to the house to get some good tea." ”

"What kind of good tea is not good tea, I don't pay attention to that, even the end of the tea leaves is also soaked in water to drink." Cao Jianlong said so.

But Cao Shujie still sped up and ran home.

Cao Jianlong saw him like this, and he didn't leave, just waited in place.

Not long after, Cao Shujie returned, with two handbags with tea leaves hanging from the handlebars.

"Uncle Long, why didn't you go over?" Cao Shujie was a little surprised.

Cao Jianlong said: "I have nothing to do alone, wait." ”

As he spoke, he rode on an electric car and drove towards the village committee office with Cao Shujie.

After coming here, Cao Shujie stopped the electric car and handed one of the bags of tea to Cao Jianlong: "Uncle Long, this bag is for you, take it back and drink it slowly." ”

He patted the remaining bag again: "This bag is in the office, everyone drinks together." ”

Cao Jianlong knew that this tea was not cheap when he looked at the packaging, he felt that it was too expensive and didn't want it very much, but Cao Shujie said: "It's okay, just drink tea." ”

"Okay, then I'll take it." Cao Jianlong said.

Brewing tea in the office, Cao Jianlong smelled the fragrance of tea and nodded again and again: "It's really good tea." ”

He looked up at Cao Shujie: "How much?" ”

"I forgot how much it was, Uncle Long, I think it's delicious, just drink it." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Jianlong no longer asked him about the price, but asked, "Shujie, what are your plans for the next step?" ”

He said: "Tell me in advance what plans you have, and I'll see how I can cooperate with you." ”

Cao Jianlong said before taking office that he would fully cooperate with Cao Shujie's work.

For example, it's a first-in-command job with a second-in-command, and he doesn't just pay lip service, he actually does it.

Cao Shujie understood Cao Jianlong's thoughts in his heart, and because of this, he was very moved: "Uncle Long, don't be like this, I'm under too much pressure." ”

"What pressure can there be, you can rest assured and boldly, you are now the best among the previous village directors of Caojiazhuang." Cao Jianlong said of him.

Cao Shujie raised his hand to support his forehead, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was recalling something.

During this period, Cao Jianlong did not bother him.

When Cao Shujie opened his eyes, he told Cao Jianlong his idea.

At first, Cao Jianlong could still remember, but later Cao Shujie said more and more, Cao Jianlong felt that his memory had reached the limit and he couldn't remember it.

He quickly took out his notebook and pen, and took notes as he listened.

"Uncle Long, our Caojiazhuang is different from other places, there is nothing, we can only slowly accumulate and develop." Cao Shujie particularly emphasized this point.

Cao Jianlong also means this.

"Don't worry, just take your time, our Caojiazhuang will definitely be able to develop better."

Cao Jianlong and Cao Shujie were chatting, and Cao Zhengcun, the director of public security, came in quietly.

As soon as he entered the door, he shook his nose and smelled the fragrance of tea: "Secretary Jianlong, Director Cao, if you have good tea, you will drink it secretly, don't call me me?" ”

Cao Shujie hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandpa Zhengcun, how can I be, I was about to call you." ”

He also took out his mobile phone, tinkered, and found Cao Zhengcun's phone number from the address book, and asked Cao Zhengcun and Cao Jianlong to look at his mobile phone screen, which was showing Cao Zhengcun's phone: "Survival grandpa, look, if you come one minute late, my call will go out." ”

Cao Jianlong and Cao Zhengcun looked at each other.

Cao Zhengcun couldn't help but scold in his heart: "This grandson is really enough for a grandson!" ”

Cao Jianlong was also dumbfounded, he thought to himself that Cao Shujie's operation was really shameless.

How did this kid, at a young age, get this face?

Cao Shujie asked Cao Zhengcun to sit down, and poured him tea: "Grandpa Zhengcun, the temperature is just right, how about you taste this tea first?" ”

Cao Zhengcun drank it in one gulp, he is not a person who knows how to taste tea, and he can also taste that there is a special fragrance in this tea.

But he couldn't figure out what it tasted like.

"Delicious, Shujie, did you buy it? Is it for me? Cao Zhengcun looked at Cao Shujie with straight eyes.

"That's the master!" Cao Shujie looked at his calm face and thought.

"Must prepare!" Cao Shujie is also thick-skinned enough, there is a box in the handbag, there are 4 cans of tea in the box, he took out a can and handed it to Cao Zhengcun: "Grandpa Zhengcun, this is yours." ”

"Of the remaining three cans, one can will be left in the office to drink slowly, one can will be given to Uncle Gao, and the other can will be taken home by Aunt Ping to drink." Cao Shujie's assignment is clear.

Cao Jianlong looked at the expression on Cao Shujie's face, which was originally so 'allocated', and he thought, this kid is really amazing!
