As soon as Cao Shujie finished speaking, Cheng Xiaolin reached over the pliers and pinched his little arm quickly, accurately and fiercely, and Cao Shujie grinned in pain.

"Wife, let go, it hurts, it hurts me." Cao Shujie's eyes widened in pain, but he didn't dare to struggle.

"If you talk nonsense, I'll twist your other hand." Cheng Xiaolin was not happy, she said: "What do you mean I'm watching a play? ”

Cao Shujie stopped talking.

Mengmeng didn't see that her father and mother had already fought a round of battle, and she didn't know that her father had just been defeated.

Mengmeng looked at the swimming pool everywhere, but she didn't find it: "Dad, where is the swimming pool?" ”

"We haven't started building it yet." Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng was not happy, she urged her father to build the pool quickly, and said that she would bring the children in the class to play together.

After Cheng Xiaolin heard it, she hurriedly told her daughter: "Mengmeng, my mother told you that if your parents didn't follow you, you would definitely not be able to go to a place with water, and no matter how good your friends called, you wouldn't be able to see your parents." ”

"Oh, where are you going? Why can't I see you? Meng Meng asked innocently.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't know how to explain it to her daughter.

Cao Shujie took over the conversation, he said: "Mengmeng, if you go to play in the water by yourself without the consent of your parents, then your father will fly to the sky to watch you, and in the future, you will have fun and delicious food, and your father can only watch it, but your father can see you, but you can't see your father." ”

"I don't ...... Wow" Meng Meng cried loudly without accident.

I cried very sadly, and the tears on my face fell to the ground like a river, and the tears fell into countless petals.

She opened her hands and hugged Cao Shujie's legs hard: "Dad, I don't want you to fly into the sky." ”

Meng Meng cried so sadly.

Cheng Xiaolin gave him a blank look, but Cheng Xiaolin also knew that her husband's statement was the best.

"So Mengmeng, you must not go to a place with water by yourself, you know?" Cheng Xiaolin continued to make a deeper impression on her.

Meng Meng nodded and said very aggrievedly: "I remember." ”

"Mom knows that Meng Meng is a good child." Cheng Xiaolin hugged Meng Meng.

Cao Shujie heard what his wife said just now, but his heart was more determined to teach Mengmeng to learn to swim.

Who knows when an accident will happen?

It's better to have a skill than nothing.

This year, the weather is getting worse and worse, who knows when there will be heavy rain and heavy floods?

After Mengmeng cried for a while, maybe she was tired, she lay in her mother's arms, and fell asleep not long after.

Cheng Xiaolin picked up Mengmeng and put her on the bed, and then pulled off the rubber band with pigtails on her head, and didn't cover her with anything.

The child is energetic, and the cuteness is also the kind that can sweat very much.

"Shujie, you turn up the temperature of the air conditioner a little bit." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie complied.

He is not sleepy now, and he is afraid of disturbing his daughter's rest in the bedroom.

As soon as I came out of the bedroom and came to the outside cabin, I felt a burst of hot pavement.

He turned on the air conditioner outside, turned on the computer, browsed the news on the Internet, and read the world's most cutting-edge science and technology news newsletters to avoid derailing himself from the outside world.

After Cheng Xiaolin put Mengmeng away, she opened the door and came outside, saw her husband busy again, and said to him: "It's so late, why don't you sleep yet." ”

"I can't sleep, wife, I remember that we haven't been to Mengmeng's grandmother's house since the New Year."

Seeing his wife nodding, Cao Shujie took the initiative to say, "Let's take some time another day, let's go back." ”

"I can't even think of going home because you have so many eyes."

"How is it possible, do you see that I'm too busy, I'm embarrassed to say." Cao Shujie pursed his lips and smiled.

Cheng Xiaolin also laughed and asked her husband: "Shujie, after you sold out the 100 big cows last month, you haven't bought the calves, and you don't plan to buy them?" ”

"Buy, I called Boss Cui last month and told me about buying calves, but he didn't have calves over there last month, so I have to wait." Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin was taken aback, and she asked, "Are there so many people who buy calves now?" ”

"The price of beef has been rising, and now there are more people raising cattle than before, and as long as the calves on Boss Cui's side are in stock, many people are rushing to buy them." Cao Shujie said so.

"Now Boss Cui has to transfer calves for me from other places." That's what Cao Shujie said.

"Then the price of calves has been raised again?" Cheng Xiaolin asked.

Listening to this, the price of calves will definitely go up.

I remember that since her husband bought calves for the first time in 11 years, in the next two years, their family bought calves in bulk many times, even if the least one bought later was more than 100 heads, and the purchase price has been rising.

Especially the last two times, the price is directly doubled.

If the price continues like this, Cheng Xiaolin feels that many cattle farmers will not be able to hold on.

Cao Shujie nodded, he said: "The current market situation is like this, if we want to continue to feed the cattle, then we have to buy calves, I have cooperated with Boss Cui for more than two years, and the price given by Boss Cui is much cheaper than the market price for more than two years." ”

"Including this time, although it is 300 yuan more expensive than when I bought it at the beginning of the year, the price is still two or three hundred yuan cheaper than the calf on the market."

"So the price of calves on the market has broken 4,000 yuan?"

Cheng Xiaolin has never touched this piece, and it was all operated by her husband.

Hearing what her husband said, Cheng Xiaolin was also speechless: "Shujie, this price is simply outrageous." ”

"Who says it's not, if it is calculated at this price, a pound of calves is equivalent to about 20 yuan." Cao Shujie calculated this account, the cost of raising cattle continued to rise, and the profit of cattle raising continued to decline.

His side is quite good, the quality of the cattle raised is much higher, and the price of selling is about 5 yuan higher than the normal market price.

But ordinary people can't raise cattle as luxurious as him, the quality of beef is naturally capped, the price of fattening cattle is about 13 yuan, excluding the cost of buying calves, and then removing the cost of feed, pasture and so on, the actual profit is much less than before.

After Cheng Xiaolin listened to her husband's words, she could only sigh that the price of everything has risen sharply in recent years, is this inflation outperforming the world?

Before you know it, it's getting darker.

Cao Shujie told his wife to rest early, Cao Shujie turned off the computer, and the two of them returned to the bedroom.

……

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

The college entrance examination time is getting closer and closer, and even Caojiazhuang feels the tense atmosphere before the college entrance examination.

There is a high school in Qingshi Town, called Pingyuan No. 2 Middle School, which belongs to a wave of students who have not achieved very satisfactory grades after the junior high school entrance examination.

Perhaps because of the positioning of the school itself, the level of teachers in the school is not very good in comparison, and the quality of teaching is also poor.

As the college entrance examination approaches, the first and second year of high school students are on vacation, leaving a quiet environment for the senior brothers and sisters in the third year of high school, and wishing them success in the college entrance examination.

But privately, many students understand that there is almost no probability of being admitted to a major university in their school, and that being admitted to a better undergraduate college is considered a good result.

Cao Shuli is one of the students in this year's college entrance examination.

Her father is Cao Jianlong, the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang.

She is the second child in the family, his brother failed the college entrance examination, and finally went to a college or university, and after graduating from school, he was also unsatisfactory.

Because of this, her parents have high expectations for her.

However, Cao Shuli played abnormally in the high school entrance examination and was not admitted to Pingyuan No. 1 Middle School or Pingyuan County Experimental High School.

She was reluctant to go to a technical school, and finally came to the second middle school to continue her school.

She also knows that the teaching quality of Pingyuan No. 2 Middle School in Qingshi Town is really average, but there is no way, the result is already doomed.

After entering the school, Cao Shuli did not give up on herself like other classmates, chasing freedom, falling in love, playing games, and so on every day.

She listened carefully to classes every day, and she never slacked off in her studies for three years.

Seeing that she was about to pass the last hurdle and go to the battlefield for the exam, Cao Shuli thought about what her father had told her.

Let her not have any pressure in the examination room, relax herself completely, and in the end, no matter what the test results are, her father Cao Jianlong said that he can accept it.

But Cao Jianlong also jokingly told his daughter that if she can perform exceptionally and be admitted to a key undergraduate university, she will be the first college student in Caojiazhuang to walk from the north of the village to the south with a big red flower.

Cao Shuli knew that his father had some unrealistic fantasies, who didn't want his son to become a dragon and his daughter to become a phoenix.

But Cao Shuli can indeed feel that her father is afraid of creating pressure on her, so he doesn't dare to say too much.

There are only 3 days left before the college entrance examination, and the countdown on the blackboard on the back wall of their classroom has been changed to '0' in advance, telling everyone in the class that every day is the last day now.

Everyone in the classroom could feel the urgency of the upcoming college entrance examination.

Many children who usually give up on themselves also feel the pressure at this time and begin to try to open the textbook to read the content.

Children who study better focus on the content drawn by the teacher, do more questions, and brush up on more questions.

There are also those who are particularly confident in themselves, but at this time let themselves relax, do not read a page of the textbook, eat when they should eat, drink and drink, let themselves relax the pressure in their hearts as much as possible, and strive to be able to give full play to their personal strength in the examination room 12%.

When she returned to the dormitory in the evening, Cao Shuli didn't think about the college entrance examination anymore, she was thinking about the policy of Caojiazhuang that her father told her.

All students who are admitted to the undergraduate or graduate school have cash rewards, if they can be admitted to the key undergraduates, bring the big red flower, and walk around the village, think about that kind of scenery, she also wants.

But that's really hard.

The moon in the sky went down again, the sun slowly rose, and a new day came.

Cao Jianlong came to pick her up this morning.
