But the two of them still asked Cao Shujie privately whether there was a possibility of a merger.
Cao Shujie didn't expect that the two of them were still thinking about this matter and how deep their obsession was.
"Aren't Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang developing very well now? Just develop your village well. Our three villages will advance and retreat together. What does it matter whether we merge or not?" Cao Shujie said to them earnestly.
But the two of them shook their heads in unison. They spoke almost at the same time and shut up almost at the same time.
Zhu Hongwei looked at Zhuang Xuejian and stopped first: "Old Zhuang, you speak first."
Zhuang Xuejian was not polite and continued: "Secretary Cao, how can this be the same? It is right to talk about advancing together and retreating together, but after all, there is a difference between closeness and distance. If Taodong Village is merged into Caojiazhuang, they will all be one village from now on.
, also a family..."
"And Zhujiazhuang is also going in." Zhu Hongwei glared at Zhuang Xuejian and also declared.
He found that Zhuang Xuejian, an old guy, was really dishonest, so he asked him to speak first. His intention was to start him off, but who knew that Zhuang Xuejian kept talking about Taodong Village and never mentioned Zhujiazhuang. This old guy was very evil-minded.
Cao Shujie wanted to laugh when he saw the two fighting openly and secretly. This was really interesting.
But I have to say that these two people really worried about their village. Compared with Cao Jiangang, the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang, they are more like outstanding village party secretaries.
"You two, don't talk about this in advance. You are all free. Have some drinks at my house at noon." Cao Shujie asked them.
"Oh, how can you be so embarrassed? You asked Secretary Cao to treat you, otherwise I would treat you." Zhuang Xuejian was the oldest and quite thick-skinned.
He thought about seizing the opportunity to treat guests, it was always right to be more attentive.
Zhu Hongwei also rushed to treat him, and the two of them were very interesting.
But in the end no one succeeded, so Cao Shujie called Cao Jianlong again and asked him to come together.
The four of us ate at Cao Shujie’s house.
At this time, both the Farmhouse Restaurant and Xinjiang Hotel were very busy, and Cao Shujie did not go over to join in the fun.
It was Cao Shujie who cooked a few simple dishes himself. Even so, Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian felt flattered.
They thought besides Cao Shujie's family, who else could let Cao Shujie cook in person?
When Cao Jianlong learned that they were here again for the merger of Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang into Caojiazhuang, he was so angry that he almost didn't take action.
It's been several years, but the two of them still haven't given up.
I remember that in the second year after Cao Shujie became the village director, the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative and the Agricultural Planting Cooperative began to take shape, and the village committee also began to distribute benefits, the two of them were trying to merge the two villages.
come over.
To put it bluntly, I don’t feel that the benefits are enough, so I want to take it one step further.
"Lao Zhu, Lao Zhuang, I won't say anything else. You two don't have enough to eat. It's already good for your village to invest in Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative and Agricultural Planting Cooperative. The annual dividends are not a small sum. Go out.
You can't earn so much from working, and you are asked to watch over your wife and children on the hot bed. How can other villages have this kind of treatment? It's better for us not to be too greedy." Cao Jianlong picked up the wine glass and said.
After he finished speaking, he drank all the wine left in the glass.
Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei looked at each other in confusion. Looking at Cao Jianlong who had been waiting for them after drinking the wine, their expressions suddenly changed.
Cao Jianlong finally broke through this layer of window paper and hit their point of pain.
Their purpose of merging into Caojiazhuang several times is really just like Cao Jianlong said, they can't get enough.
They think that after becoming a village, they should be able to get the same benefits as the villagers in Caojiazhuang. To put it bluntly, they are still greedy.
At this moment, even drinking wine felt tasteless to them.
Cao Jianlong chuckled, he said it on purpose to save these two people endless troubles.
For Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei, their moods were different and there was no point in continuing to drink.
I could have drank for two hours, but ended up after more than an hour.
Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei also went home respectively, preparing to reflect deeply.
After watching them leave, Cao Jianlong sighed: "Shujie, have you seen it? They are quite thick-skinned. If you ask me to say, you should refuse if you should. You don't have to be polite to them, otherwise they will bite you in the face."
of."
Cao Shujie smiled and nodded: "Uncle Long is right."
"Okay, let me go to the village first. There are quite a few people coming here these days. Our village is very busy and everyone is not at peace at all." Cao Jianlong cursed and left.
Cao Shujie discovered something very strange. Ever since Cao Jianlong voluntarily gave up his position and became the deputy secretary of the village, his temperament seemed to have become more free and easy.
Just say whatever you have to say without any ambiguity at all.
This was not the case in the past. When Cao Jianlong was the village party secretary, Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei came to talk to him about merging the villages. At that time, Cao Jianlong was still vague, as if he was deliberately trying to hang them up.
From one moment to the next, Cao Jianlong changed quite a lot.
After returning home, Cao Shujie cleaned up the dishes and dishes.
He went directly upstairs and lay down.
Cao Shujie has been busy these past few days and has not had a good rest at all. Now that he is finally free, Cao Shujie thinks about nothing and lets himself have a good sleep first.
When his wife came back, she originally wanted to edit the video. When she saw him sleeping in the bedroom, she shut down the computer and quietly went downstairs.
Others don't know it clearly, but Cheng Xiaolin knows in her heart that even though her husband seems relaxed on the surface, he is actually very stressed.
Many things were placed on her husband's shoulders alone. He was involved in the lives of at least thousands of families, and he was not that easy to be the boss.
After Mengmeng came back from school, she ran up to him excitedly and called him: "Dad, you are a lazy pig. Grandma asked me to ask you to go to dinner."
Cao Shujie opened his eyes drowsily and saw Mengmeng standing beside the bed, pushing him hard with his hand.
After calling several times and not waking him up, Mengmeng even used her hands to support his eyelids.
This naughty kid.
Cao Shujie really wanted to slap her.
But when Mengmeng saw him open his eyes, she was so frightened that she turned around and ran away, calling her grandma as she ran.
When we came downstairs, the food had been placed on the dining table, and the whole family sat down, waiting for him to come and eat together.
"Shujie, sit down and eat quickly." Cheng Xiaolin called to him.
"Oh, I was thinking about going to bed and lying down for a while, but why did I fall asleep for so long as soon as I closed my eyes?" Cao Shujie rubbed his forehead, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "Who told you not to rest well? After dinner, go out for a walk and come back to rest early."
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu also said: "Shujie, you are so young, you can't waste your body like this. Look at you, you are almost like me."
Cao Shujie laughed: "Grandpa, you think too highly of me. If I can live to be almost 100 years old like you and still be as strong as you, then I will be really satisfied."
Cao Zhenghu was amused by him, but he still said to him: "You will definitely live to be 100 years old."
This is not nonsense.
Wang Yuelan urged everyone to eat first, saying that the food was almost cold.
After waiting for the meal, Cao Shujie didn't want to move, Mengmeng pulled his hand and walked out. Cao Yirui didn't want to sleep either, he wanted to play outside.
Cao Shujie had no idea, so he took his siblings out of the house and walked around the village.
Caojiazhuang is very chaotic during the day, but Caojiazhuang is very quiet at night. These are two extremes, which makes people very uncomfortable.
However, most of the villagers who had been busy all day had gone to bed early after dinner. They would have to get up early tomorrow morning to prepare things for the stall, and tomorrow would be another busy day.
Everyone knows that they are tired, but in the past, they were tired, became ill, and did not make any money.
I am tired now, but I have savings in my hands, which will ensure my future, and I feel at ease.
Life is going more smoothly, and everyone is optimistic about the future.
Mengmeng also told her father that there were fewer people on the street, and her friends didn’t come out to play anymore.
"It really feels like living in a building." Cao Shujie said inexplicably.
In my previous life, I lived in a square house from house to house. I rarely walked downstairs. I even lived across the street from each other for several years without being able to call him by his name.
Unexpectedly, with the rapid economic development, Caojiazhuang has become like this.
He was thinking about a question in his mind: Could it be that when the economy develops to a certain level, human touch will become weaker and weaker?
Unfortunately there is no answer.
"Dad, hug me." Cao Yirui followed him all the way. He felt tired now and wanted Cao Shujie to hold him.
Cao Shujie bent down and picked up his son by his armpits. The little guy's weight became heavier and heavier, and he felt like he was falling down in his arms.
"Ruirui, you weigh more than 30 pounds, and I won't be able to carry you if you eat any more." Cao Shujie teased his son.
But the little guy muttered: "I'll tell grandma when I get back and you won't let me eat."
"It's useless even if you tell your grandfather." Is Cao Shujie afraid of his son's threat?
Cao Yirui hummed unconvinced.
When he walked to the door of his house, Cao Shujie suddenly said: "Ruirui, what toys do you want? Tell me and dad will buy it for you."
"Toys?" Cao Yirui's eyes lit up.
Cao Shujie nodded heavily and said to him: "As long as you don't talk nonsense when you get home later, I will buy you any toys you want."
When Mengmeng heard what her father said, she laughed heartily and said, "Dad, look at how cowardly you are."
Cao Shujie's ears were sharp and he glared at her: "You are not a big kid, so you have learned a lot of rubbish knowledge."
Mengmeng ran home before she could tell the answer.
Cao Yirui was very smart and didn't say a word at all that night. Early the next morning, when he saw his father going out, he chased him for toys.
At this time, Cao Shujie had reason to believe that his son was indeed a villain.
There is also more reason to believe that during the Spring Festival this year, his sister played a trick and asked for his red envelope in the name of buying him toys. Cao Yirui gave the red envelope to his sister at that time, and then kept asking for toys.
At that time, Cao Shujie suspected that his son had many evil intentions, but now his suspicion has been completely confirmed.
"This kid will not be easy when he grows up." Cao Shujie sighed with emotion.
But he was also very pleased.
The current Xuemeng Food Factory, the orchards he planted, the breeding farms, as well as the children's theme park and the laboratory under construction, as long as they continue to develop normally, none of them will be too bad in the future.
Under such circumstances, Cao Shujie naturally wanted to find a qualified successor.
In the past, Cao Shujie was very fond of his daughter Mengmeng. It goes without saying that Cao Shujie cared and loved his daughter for the past two lifetimes.
But as time went by, Cao Shujie discovered that although his daughter was thoughtful and foolish and bold, she was very rebellious and rebellious. Cao Shujie could not guarantee whether his daughter would be able to take on such a big responsibility when she grew up.
Now that his son Cao Yirui is still young, he has unknowingly revealed some of the cunningness of a businessman, which makes Cao Shujie very happy.
Before leaving the house, Cao Shujie promised his son that he would bring back toys for him when he came back in the afternoon.
Cao Yirui was happy and quickly let go of his hand, telling his father to leave quickly.
After getting into the car with Mengmeng, Mengmeng suddenly said: "Dad, I also want toys. If you don't buy them for me..."
The threat couldn't be more obvious.
Cao Shujie was very annoyed and said to her: "I'll buy it for you. The bear has a lot of problems."
"Hey!" Mengmeng cheered.
She doesn't care about anything else, as long as she gets her own benefits.
Driving to the town's central primary school, Cao Shujie said to his daughter: "Mengmeng, you must study hard. You will be in third grade in the second half of the year, and you will have to learn more by then."
"Okay, Dad, just watch my performance." Mengmeng said confidently.
But when Cao Shujie heard what his daughter said, he felt uncertain.
When we drove to the factory, we found that the first factory was very quiet. There were not many people walking back and forth in the factory area. Everyone was busy at their respective posts.
Seeing that nothing happened, Cao Shujie didn't go upstairs and drove to the second factory again.
Compared with the first factory, the second factory seems very lively.
There are workshops that have already started construction, and there are also workshops that are still under construction.
The key point is that in the second phase of the factory area, there are also dormitories, comprehensive office buildings, and an ordinary-looking building under construction.
That is the laboratory under construction.
Even the employees who have been walking here don't know what this building is used for. They only know that the boss asked the construction party to build this building.
The construction team was even more puzzled. The building materials of this building were unusual, the cost was also very high, and the interior layout was completely different from that of a normal building.
In other buildings, the more rooms are divided, the better. In this case, the fewer rooms are divided, the better. The space is very large.
They didn't think much about it when they first took on this project, but now that the building has been completed, they are even more confused.
But there is one thing that everyone knows, don't ask if you shouldn't ask.
Cao Shujie parked his car in the parking lot in front, walked here and looked at the building under construction. He also looked at other factories, dormitories and comprehensive office buildings under construction. He felt very satisfied.
Everything is moving towards his earliest plan, which makes Cao Shujie feel very accomplished. (End of chapter)
