"I have had in-depth discussions on this issue in Xinjiang and Adilijiang, and their output this year is less than in previous years, and not only them, but also the fruit farmers in Changji apple base are generally less this year."

"In addition to the Changji apple base, the output of the other two large apple bases in Xinjiang has also decreased."

"At least until next year, the total number of apples on the market is less than in previous years, but the demand has not decreased, and it has increased."

This principle is very simple, and Cao Jianguo also understands it.

He said: "Don't you say that I also pay attention, this year's apples are much more expensive than in previous years." ”

"It's pretty much the same, but the market is volatile, and it's not necessarily a good thing to hoard too much now." Cao Shujie didn't discuss this matter further.

Wang Yuelan saw that her son had been blinking, and said, "Shujie, are you sleepy, you haven't rested during this time, okay, you go upstairs and sleep for a while." ”

"It's fine."

As soon as Cao Shujie finished speaking, his grandfather Cao Zhenghu also said to him: "Shujie, go and rest for a while." ”

"Dad, I'm going to rest too." Meng Meng followed and made trouble.

When Cheng Xiaolin wanted to call out to her daughter, Mengmeng suddenly slapped her mouth with her hand and yawned: "Ah, I'm trapped to death." ”

"This bear child." Cheng Xiaolin muttered to her.

But Meng Meng finally went upstairs to sleep with her father.

This night, Cao Shujie slept very peacefully.

When his wife came up to call him to eat, Cao Shujie woke up.

Mengmeng was still asleep next to her, Cao Shujie pushed her twice, Mengmeng opened her eyes, looked at Cao Shujie in a daze, and naturally showed a smile on her little face.

"Daddy, hey." Meng Meng laughed.

Cheng Xiaolin called out to their father and daughter: "Hurry up and wash up and go down to eat, don't look at what time it is, do you still sleep at night?" ”

"If I don't sleep, I won't go to school anyway." Meng Meng's head turned very fast.

Hearing his daughter say this, Cao Shujie was still wondering: "Wife, why is the kindergarten on holiday again?" It's not winter vacation yet, is it? ”

There are still 40 days left before the Spring Festival, and it's too early for the winter vacation, right?

"I heard Sister Qiu Ling say that the kindergarten is repairing the houses, and some of the houses are leaking." That's what Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie was stunned.

Speaking of which, Caojiazhuang Kindergarten has been around for more than 20 years, and the houses are naturally old houses.

"Safety is no small matter, this should be paid attention to." Cao Shujie said.

"Shujie, there is one more thing, the kindergarten is cold now, isn't your village committee rich? If you don't help install the radiator, it won't cost much anyway. Cheng Xiaolin mentioned this matter.

Cao Shujie heard it in his heart, they were all children, not like them adults carrying the cold.

"I'll tell Uncle Long tomorrow and discuss it." Cao Shujie said.

Installing radiators is a trivial matter, he can sponsor it himself, the problem is burning coal.

This is a lot of expenses, on the income of the kindergarten, it was difficult to raise the salary, and now it is a new way to raise the salary, but let them take a sum of money to buy coal to burn heating, can they afford it?

He said this idea, and Cheng Xiaolin continued: "Isn't this simple? The fee for the kindergarten is not high, if you are heating, you must charge another money, and it is not much, 50 for a child, and it is almost enough for a winter. ”

Anyone can afford 50 yuan now, and it's for the good of the child, and no one will pick this thing.

"Wife, you're so smart." Cao Shujie gave a thumbs up.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't accept verbal bribes, turned around and walked downstairs: "You two hurry up, don't be sluggish, I still have to clean after eating." ”

……

The moon sets and the sun rises, and in the blink of an eye, it is another day.

In late December, Cao Shujie first met with Cao Jianlong in the office of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee and talked about the installation of heating in Caojiazhuang Kindergarten.

Who knew that Cao Jianlong told him: "Shujie, you just don't look for me for this matter, I have to look for you, I forgot to tell you yesterday, Xiao Li also came to look for me, the kindergarten house is too old, some places leak air, and there are cracks on the wall in some places, it's too dangerous, our children in Caojiazhuang are going to school inside, there is really going to be some accident, what can I do then?" ”

Cao Shujie really hasn't looked at the quality of those houses carefully?

Hearing Cao Jianlong say this, Cao Shujie also became interested.

"Then you really have to fix it." Cao Shujie nodded.

"Well, Xiao Li told me that there is a relevant allocation in the town, but there is not much money, and the kindergarten itself has no money, and she hopes that our village committee can sponsor some of it."

"I pondered that the children of the three villages all went to school here, and I asked Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei for money, and by the way, the matter of the radiator was also solved."

"Tighten the belt of your trousers, no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter for the child." Cao Jianlong patted his stomach.

If he were skinny, it would be more convincing.

But now he stretched out his hand and patted it, and his stomach was still trembling.

"Uncle Long, it's time for you to lose weight." Cao Shujie said jokingly.

Cao Jianlong touched his bulging stomach and smiled: "Your aunt often says, I can't help it, now the living standard of the family is good, I used to be reluctant to eat meat, but now I have it, I want to eat some vegetarian." ”

"Uncle Long, what I said is true, don't wait for the three high schools to find you, it will be troublesome then."

Cao Jianlong nodded cautiously: "You're right. ”

After they discussed the matter of the kindergarten, Cao Jianlong was responsible for the specific work in the back, and Cao Shujie told Cao Jianlong that he had to go to the factory in the town to have a look.

"I'm installing the equipment right now, and when the installation is complete, it will be able to start production early next year." Cao Shujie mentioned this matter.

"Really, it's been almost a year, and you're ready to produce it." Cao Jianlong was a little embarrassed.

No one expected that Cao Shujie would take so long from buying the factory last year to being able to produce it.

Cao Shujie thinks this is fast: "If I build a factory myself, it will take longer." ”

"Go ahead and get busy, I'll do this." Cao Jianlong is very responsible.

……

Coming out of the village committee compound, Cao Shujie drove towards the town again.

When he came to the factory, Cao Shujie said hello to Cao Shulin, and when he saw Xue Jianwei, he had an oil stain on his hand, black oil stains on his forehead, and his hair was also stuck to his skin with oil stains, which looked a little embarrassed.

"Xue Gong, are you installing the equipment?" Cao Shujie asked him with a smile.

"Boss Cao, are you back?" Xue Jianwei was very happy to see Cao Shujie.

"I just finished installing the drying equipment and came out to breathe." Xue Jianwei said.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket: "Boss Cao or not?" ”

Cao Shujie waved his hand: "Xue Gong, it's not that you don't know, I don't smoke." ”

"It's good not to smoke, I saw an advertisement two days ago, the lungs of someone smoking are all black, like honeycomb, and I panic when I look at it."

Although Xue Jianwei said this, he still lit a cigarette and skillfully stuffed it into his mouth, took two puffs, and looked like he was enjoying it.

"Xue Gong, how is the equipment installed now?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Xue Jianwei quickly finished smoking the cigarette, threw it on the ground, crushed it with his feet, and then picked up the thin cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can next to him, he pointed to the inside of the workshop: "Boss Cao, I'll take you in to have a look." ”

It's more intuitive that way.

Cao Shujie and Xue Jianwei entered the workshop together, Xue Jianwei took Cao Shujie around, pointed to the equipment installed in the workshop, and introduced it to Cao Shujie.

"Over there is the cleaning and screening equipment, here is the secondary cleaning, and then the conveyor belt is being installed, and next to it is the control cabinet ......"

There are more than a dozen people working in the workshop.

The installation of the equipment has to be done gradually.

Theoretically speaking, the equipment made according to the drawings is accurate to the error is very small, but the actual installation process is limited by the installation environment, installation location and installation size, each link has a little more error, and the final difference will be larger and larger, and this set of equipment can only be installed from scratch.

Xue Jianwei explained these things to Cao Shujie, and Cao Shujie could also understand.

"Now we are going to assemble these devices as soon as possible, and the second step is to install water, electricity, gas, and network."

"After I finished these years ago, it was basically the same, and the rest of the work will be done after the Spring Festival." Xue Jianwei said so.

"Xue Gong, do you want to go back on New Year's Day?" Cao Shujie asked him.

If you go back, the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, plus the time to take the car back and forth, will be delayed for at least 5 days, only more, not less.

Xue Jianwei waved his hand: "We won't go back on New Year's Day, according to the plan, we will finish on the 27th of the lunar month, and we will leave on the 28th of the lunar month." ”

"So, are you going straight home, or are you going back to the company?" Cao Shujie was quite puzzled.

Those of them who are often on business trips, when it comes to the Spring Festival, they rush back to the company from Qingshi Town on the 28th of the lunar month, and then go home for the New Year, and the time is very tight.

"If you don't go back to the company, we will disband on the spot and go home directly."

"Then your company doesn't give Spring Festival benefits during the New Year?" Cao Shujie was curious.

Who knew that Xue Jianwei told him: "The nature of our work is different, the company is convenient, and the festival fee is 600 yuan a year." ”

Cao Shujie admires the arrangement of Dikang Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.

Converting the Spring Festival benefits into money and distributing them to employees, and the standard of 600 yuan, this company can really be called a conscientious company.

"When you leave, I'll prepare a Spring Festival gift for you." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Jianwei wanted to refuse, but Cao Shujie pulled him forward: "Xue Gong, you also know my temper, don't refuse, if you really want to thank me, let's make the construction progress faster." ”

"I'll take care of your food and lodging." Cao Shujie responded very angrily.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it costs a few dollars for food and accommodation, even if one person prepares a Spring Festival gift for them, there are only a dozen people in total, and it can cost thousands of yuan?

plus the money for food and housing, it is only tens of thousands of yuan.

But the effect that can be achieved with this hand is beyond the imagination of others.

Sure enough, Xue Jianwei shouted at the people under construction in front of Cao Shujie: "Did you hear it, Boss Cao wants to take care of food and housing, and I will prepare a gift for you during the New Year, starting from today, add an hour to work every day, and we will strive to finish the work as soon as possible." ”

No one responded, but if you look closely, you will see that these people are more motivated to work.

"Xue Gong, you don't have to do this, you also have to pay attention to your body, combine work and rest, it's not okay to work too hard." Cao Shujie said.

"Huh!" Xue Jianwei responded.

Cao Shujie is also very polite to them, he doesn't mean that their gang is really superior.

On the contrary, Xue Jianwei knew what Cao Shujie was looking for.

Cao Shujie followed Xue Jianwei to turn around the workshop, looking at the on-site installation, the equipment pulled over had been placed in the predetermined position, but it had not yet been installed.

After reading it, Cao Shujie thought about going to the cold storage to see the situation of apples.

The first Apple train has already been transported back and began to be transported to the cold storage, and the second train is still on the way, and there are three more days to get to the Quancheng freight railway station.

Before leaving, Cao Shujie also told Xue Jianwei that he would invite them to have a meal together on New Year's Day.

"Xue Gong, has this Boss Cao always been so good?"

After Cao Shujie left, Xue Jianwei returned to the workshop and was about to work, when a little fat man asked him.

This little fat man's name is Wang Xing, and he has worked in Dikang Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. for more than five years.

Xue Jianwei remembered the last time he came over, nodded and said: "A big boss is so easy to talk to, and he is also very polite to us, we have to work hard, and we are worthy of the heart." ”

"Eh, Xue Gong, don't worry, we are all talking about conscience." Wang Xing squatted down again and continued to work.

At the same time, he was thinking about another one.

They come out to work, and the company will give them accommodation and food subsidies every day.

Now Cao Shujie has to eat and live, which means that they have saved the subsidy for food and accommodation.

The subsidies given to them by the company are considered to be the income that actually goes into their pockets, and it is equivalent to increasing their income in disguise.

It must be more energetic to work again, even if it is an hour of overtime every day, they don't care.

can earn subsidies, as well as food and accommodation, they feel that this is equivalent to earning two jobs, and one hour of overtime is considered a bird.

……

Cao Shujie drove to the cold storage.

As soon as I came over, I saw a lot of people busy here.

The apples in the cold chain container are pulled out and packed into the cold storage, and the official production has not yet begun, so there is no need to choose.

When Cao Shujie came over, he saw that the doors of the two cold storages were closed, which meant that the two cold storages were full.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming, the people who were working stopped what they were doing to greet him, turned their heads and continued to work.

Cao Shuju also came over to explain the situation to Cao Shujie.

"How many people are working here?" Cao Shujie asked.

Cao Shuju told him that there were a total of 31 people here, plus Cao Shulin and them on the factory side, and now a total of 45 people are back to work.

Another six went to Cao Shujie's farm south of Caojiazhuang.

Compared to last year, there were still 12 people who did not return.

Cao Shujie knew that these 12 people were going to work outside.

They haven't started work for so long, they can't earn money for so long, and it's normal for them to go out to work to earn some money.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and time is slowly moving forward.

During this period, Li Qiuling came to find Cao Shujie and specially thanked him.

Li Qiuling knew very well that she went to Cao Jianlong, the village party secretary, to discuss the repair of the kindergarten, but Cao Jianlong was vague at the time.

But it has only been a few days, and Cao Jianlong not only promised to pay for the kindergarten to repair the house, but also to install radiators for the kindergarten.

Li Qiuling never understood why Cao Jianlong's attitude changed so much before and after?

It wasn't until she happened to hear someone mention that the village director Cao Shujie came back, and she instantly understood.
