Cheng Xiaolin heard the movement outside, came out of the house, and when she saw her husband, she also had a heartfelt smile on her face: "You didn't drink too much last night." ”

"I'm okay, Lao Liu and Lao Luo are drunk." Cao Shujie couldn't help but laugh when he thought of it.

Cheng Xiaolin couldn't cry or laugh: "What's so proud about this, are you tired or not, go and rest for a while first, and then drink less with our grandfather and father at night." ”

"Why do you think you're making such trouble?" As soon as Cao Shujie rolled up his sleeves, he was ready to help.

But Cheng Xiaolin didn't let him do it, she said: "I also told my parents about this, and they also said that they would let us go for a trip in two days and prepare something delicious for you." ”

"That's the honor of the city, it's a big deal, and you don't have a heart!" Cheng Xiaolin glanced at him with slanted eyes, and went into the house to prepare the dinner for the evening.

When Cao Zhenghu saw his grandson, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he said that it was the blessing of the ancestors, and he had to give the ancestors incense.

Seeing that his grandfather said so seriously, Cao Shujie didn't dare to refute, he said: "Grandpa, you don't have to move, I'll go and put incense on my grandmother later." ”

"And your grandfather!" Cao Zhenghu specially told him.

There is a cemetery in the southwest corner of Caojiazhuang, which is the ancestral tomb of the old Cao family, and the deceased people in Caojiazhuang are buried there, and it is also a place for future generations to have a memorial memory.

Cao Shujie carried a basket of incense candles, fire paper and a few fruit snacks in the basket, and rode an electric car towards the cemetery.

When he came to Caojiazhuang Cemetery, Cao Shujie pulled out the key, took the offerings and walked to the place where his grandmother and their family were buried.

In addition to the graves, this cemetery is also full of trees.

By this time, it was already winter, and the leaves on the trees had already fallen off.

But the tree is too dense, and the branches are intertwined, blocking part of the sun.

The interweaving of shadows and fragments of sunlight in this cemetery makes it even more terrifying.

But Cao Shujie didn't think that the closer he got to his grandmother's grave, the more relaxed he felt.

walked to a lonely grave, there is not even a tombstone here, it is the grave of Cao Shujie's grandmother.

According to the rules, after Cao Shujie's grandfather passed away, they should be buried together, and then a monument could be erected.

Cao Shujie can't criticize this 'custom', but he doesn't violate the old tradition in this regard.

I put the things I brought with me one by one, lit incense candles, and lit the fire paper, and the originally cold weather felt a little warmer.

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

"Grandma, let me tell you, I was nominated and praised by the city, and I will go to the city to present the award next month, and then there will be a big leader to present me with an award, my grandfather said that this is your blessing, let me come over and nag you a few words."

"Grandma, it's a pity that you left early and didn't enjoy your happiness."

"But I came back too late, if only it had been a few years earlier." Cao Shujie looked at the grave in front of him, as if he was talking nonsense.

But only he knew what he meant.

His grandmother also fell ill and died, diabetes with complications, and at that time their family didn't have much money, and they couldn't find a good doctor, and besides, this disease was really difficult to treat.

After chattering here for more than ten minutes, seeing that the incense candle was about to burn out, Cao Shujie put on a new one, and then went to the old man behind him to light incense, burn some paper, and pull out the grass on the grave.

After finishing his work, Cao Shujie rode an electric car back home.

……

In the evening, a table full of dishes.

Mengmeng saw a lot of meat on the table, she was very happy, and she pointed to the meat to eat this and that, and she couldn't stop when she was busy.

"Mengmeng, don't worry, I'll pour you a glass of juice first." Cheng Xiaolin said.

She said, "Let's have a cup for Dad, okay?" ”

When Meng Meng heard this, she quickly nodded: "Okay!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, after waiting for her mother to pour her juice, she immediately picked up the cup and handed it to Cao Shujie: "Dad, let's have a cup." ”

"Okay." Cao Shujie held his wine glass and touched it with Mengmeng.

Meng Meng happily clinked glasses with grandpa and grandpa again, and finally touched glasses with grandma and mother: "Drink!" ”

She took the cup in both hands and drank it with a grunt.

Putting the cup on the table, seeing that her parents, grandparents and grandparents hadn't finished drinking yet, she first handed the cup to her mother: "Mom, pour it for me again." ”

"Mengmeng, you can't drink like this." Cheng Xiaolin said her.

But Mengmeng didn't care, she watched her mother pour juice, and then picked up the cup to drink.

To put it bluntly, she just wants to drink juice.

When the adults saw her like this, they laughed: "Let's drink too." ”

In the evening, the family didn't drink much, but they drank well.

No matter what you say, Cao Shujie can be selected as the 'Top Ten Outstanding Young Pioneers of Yiling City's Agricultural Revitalization', this honor is more important to Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan than their son earned more than 20 million yuan by selling apples last year.

Wang Yuelan wanted to rush Ming'er to the Cao family's grave to burn some paper money.

"Shujie, when are you going to receive the award?" Cao Jianguo asked his son.

After tidying up the table, they made another pot of tea and drank it to their heart's content.

Cao Shujie said: "On the 6th of next month, I will come over one day earlier. ”

"How can you be a day in advance? You should come two or three days in advance to familiarize yourself with the venue. Cao Jianguo said so.

His statement was also agreed by his old father Cao Zhenghu and his wife Wang Yuelan.

Even Cheng Xiaolin followed and said, "You go over earlier and get acquainted with other people." ”

Cao Shujie couldn't cry or laugh, thinking in his heart what is there to be familiar with this?

Speaking of which, he also knew a Zhu Lingyun.

The question is that Zhu Lingyun, as the deputy mayor, is such a busy person, will he sometimes meet him indirectly when the time comes?

"It's okay, I'll just go a day early." Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng was a little confused when she heard what the adults said, and she asked Cao Shujie: "Dad, what are you talking about?" Where are you going, I'll go too. ”

"Okay, you go with me." Cao Shujie nodded and agreed.

Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "Such a serious matter, what are you doing with Mengmeng, and let her make trouble for you when the time comes, can you be busy?" ”

"I won't make trouble, Mom, don't wronged me." Meng Meng didn't do it, she felt that her mother had an opinion about her.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't bother to take care of her.

I didn't drink too much wine at night, and after eating, Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo wanted to go back to them, but they were persuaded by Cao Shujie.

"Dad, Mom, it's cold now, you guys should live here." Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin also said: "Dad, Mom, Shujie is right, the heating is already burning here, don't go back." ”

In this way, Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo did not go to their side again at night.

Upstairs, after lulling Meng Meng to sleep, Cheng Xiaolin called her husband to go to the next room, and the two of them were in the dark!

……

The fact that Cao Shujie was selected by the city as one of the 'Top Ten Outstanding Young Pioneers for Rural Revitalization' was not made public in advance.

Cao Shujie himself didn't show off this matter everywhere, so that others didn't know about it.

Even his family was very low-key at this time, thinking that if someone took the initiative to ask about it, it would not be too late to talk about it.

After winter, the leaves on the fruit trees have also fallen and all kinds of flowers have turned into bare branches, but the plum blossoms that Cao Shujie had planted before have bloomed at this time.

Many people in Caojiazhuang come to see the plum blossoms, and many children are curious, how can they bloom in winter?

It was also at this time that Feng Taocuo's second batch of 600 calves was also transported to Caojiazhuang, and on the other hand, Cui Jianguo also sent another 200 calves to Cao Shujie.

In the end, the calves purchased by the three villages combined, a total of 1,382 calves, and the remaining 18 fractions were bought by Cao Shujie.

At this time, the vigorous Zhongcheng breeding cooperative has come to an end temporarily, but this does not mean that the Zhongcheng breeding cooperative is finished, on the contrary, this is just the beginning.

On the other hand, the 1,382 cattle of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative also require a very large amount of labor.

However, the village committees of the three villages got together to discuss and finally came up with a rule.

All the farmers in the three villages who participate in the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative must take turns to work.

In this way, you only need to arrange the duty record, and no one has to worry about being biased.

Otherwise, hire people, and the salary is included in the cost.

Those villagers who participated in the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative thought that they usually had nothing to do anyway, so it was better for them to work and end up with more money.

After some accounting, 16 people were arranged every day, divided into two farms in the north and south, and 8 people on one side, under the leadership of experienced people, began a vigorous collective breeding.

When I think that a year later, they can get dividends, and most of them work very hard.

But there are also some people who know that they have their share here, but they still habitually cheat and cheat when they work.

For such people, after being caught by the joint law enforcement personnel of the three village committees, they will not be tolerated, and the three villages will circulate criticism.

And clearly told these people that if there is a second time, the money will be returned to them, and their opportunity to participate in the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative will be cancelled in the future.

In this way, it really puts an end to the idea of those who still want to steal and play tricks.

Farmers in the three villages received real money after selling their fattening cattle in September, and because of this, many people did not want to lose this opportunity to make money.

The thought of being caught for stealing and playing tricks, not only did the three villages have to report criticism, but also cut off this financial route, which is unacceptable to many ordinary people.

It is because when people come from each family to work, the people in their family will tell them to be diligent when they go to work, and they must not be cautious, if they are caught, the family will spurn them.

Time is moving forward bit by bit, after the initial run-in, the internal cooperation of Zhongcheng breeding cooperatives is becoming more and more silky.

It seems that this has really become a very mature cooperative.

On the other side, Cao Shujie's farm recruited 6 more people, all of whom were people who had worked in his factory before, and belonged to long-term stable workers.

For them, it doesn't make much difference whether they work on Cao Shujie's farm or in his factory.

Cao Shujie said very clearly, even if he works in his farm, after the normal operation of the factory, all organizational structures will be up, and they will be insured when the time comes.

The word "buying insurance" is definitely a new word for villagers in the countryside.

This is not to buy them medical care, but to pension insurance.

This is precisely a shortcoming of many people in the countryside, and it is a heavy pain in their hearts.

But if they are asked to take their own money to buy pension insurance, they are absolutely reluctant.

I don't know when it snowed for the first time since the beginning of winter.

The snow was not heavy, and it disappeared after falling to the ground.

Even so, for the little ones, it's the happiest thing they can be.

A lot of kids run out of their homes or classrooms to see the snow, and they want to have snowball fights.

But that's an extravagant hope.

There were mischievous children who shouted to the sky: "God, let's have a heavy snowfall." ”

For this kind of child, if there is a parent next to him, he will immediately kick it over.

During this time, another thing happened in Caojiazhuang.

Many people in Caojiazhuang have money at home, and after they have money, they want to improve their quality of life, such as installing a heating for their home in winter.

There are quite a lot of people who have this kind of idea, and when someone looks at this, he thinks about the big guys are installing radiators, and they are looking for people who install radiators to talk about the price, can it be cheaper?

So many people chatted in the Caojiazhuang QQ group.

In the end, I don't know who shouted, and the leader of the village committee can help to contact a person who installs radiators.

Negotiate with the other party in the name of the whole village and try to bring the price down.

Everyone understands that the cost of a single installation is definitely not the same as that of a dozen or even dozens of households.

After the leaders of the village committee of Caojiazhuang saw the news in the group, they were obliged to take it down.

Knowing that Cao Shujie had heating at home, Cao Jianlong and the others discussed it, and wanted Cao Shujie to contact the person who installed the heating for him and ask how cheap the price could be.

Cao Shujie didn't shirk either, it was Wang Kun from the town who installed the radiator for him.

But before going, Cao Shujie called Cao Jianlong, and then asked all the ordinary people who were willing to install radiators to elect a villager representative.

They formed a team together, and they went to negotiate with Wang Kun together, and everything involved money issues, and everything was made public.

This kind of thing, if it was placed in the past, in the era of Cao Jiangang and Gao Weimin, it must be a way to be greedy.

But Cao Shujie is not bad for money, and he doesn't bother to do this kind of thing.

Although Cao Jianlong's income is not as high as Cao Shujie's, the entire Caojiazhuang is in a thriving stage, and their family is also engaged in breeding and planting orchards.

All in all, his income is not bad.

Because of this, they can't afford to take that money at the risk of being poked in the back.

I'll update tomorrow morning
