Chapter 121 Mengmeng, who offended you? Monthly ticket
)
Cao Jianhua, the owner of Caojiazhuang North Supermarket, has been very troubled recently.
He never thought of investing in breeding, but he ended up in a mess.
This was completely different from the plan he had imagined before.
Contracting the mountainous area, installing barbed wire guardrails, digging water wells, installing automatic drinking water canals, and building pig pens. These preliminary preparation projects alone have cost him nearly 300,000 yuan.
I can’t say that these 300,000 yuan have completely wiped out all his savings over the years, but it has also severely damaged their family’s vitality.
Cao Jianhua himself is a little hesitant now, not sure whether he should continue or not, and he is not sure what will happen in the future.
But he knew that if he gave up halfway at this time, the money he invested before would really be wasted.
If he continues to put money in, his wife's money bag will be tight, and the two of them have been quarreling about this matter recently.
In Gao Hong's eyes, she did not agree with her husband Cao Jianhua doing this from the beginning.
When her husband invested more than 300,000 yuan and didn't see any signs of it, Gao Hong drew a line in her heart. In her opinion, continuing to throw money into it was undoubtedly the stupidest behavior. By then, she would lose all her money.
That's really fatal.
If you stop your losses now, you can at least leave some wealth behind.
Cao Jianhua thought: "What should I do? Should I go to the town to get a loan?"
He also went to the village party secretary Cao Jiangang to inquire, and Cao Shujie went to the rural commercial bank in the town to get an interest-free loan.
But Cao Shujie did it in the name of agricultural planting. Cao Jianhua briefly inquired and found that it could also be done in the name of breeding, but the amount given was not that high.
"Do it? Or don't do it? How much money will it cost in the follow-up?" Cao Jianhua has no idea at all.
At that time, he thought he could raise pigs with 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, but the reality was far from that.
At this time, Cao Jianhua remembered what Cao Jie said when he asked Cao Shujie for advice that day.
The main reason is to advise him not to rush into breeding in unfamiliar situations.
At that time, he thought that Cao Shujie had objections to him engaging in breeding, but now that he thought about it, he really thought about him.
When Cao Jianhua was racking his brains to think about this problem, his wife Gao Hong suddenly ran in excitedly and shouted: "Jianhua, have you heard?"
This nonsense made Cao Jianhua confused: "What did I hear?"
"Oh, Cao Shujie spent tens of thousands of dollars to plant flowers and plants on the barren hills. It has spread throughout our village. You haven't heard about such a big thing?" Gao Hong looked at her wife with some reproach.
After hearing this, Cao Jianhua was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "He grows his own flowers and plants, what does this have to do with me?"
"How come it doesn't matter? Have you never considered why he spent so much money growing these things?" Gao Hong asked him in surprise.
Cao Jianhua was a little confused when he heard what his wife said. He really hadn't thought about it.
Besides, what is the relationship between growing flowers, grass, orchards, and breeding?
"Jianhua, think carefully about why other people's orchards and breeding are so good, but you can't. There must be a reason." Gao Hong said.
Cao Jianhua: "..."
What is he thinking about?
………………
After another day of work, Song Shuli led people to plant all the flowers, then walked around with Cao Shujie and said to him: "Brother Cao, these flowers have just been planted. You can water them more times tomorrow.
Slowly take root and everything will be fine. If you have any problems later, just call me."
"If there are any dead seedlings, tell me and I will make up for it." Song Shuli specifically confessed.
Cao Shujie nodded and agreed.
After sending Song Shuli and the others away, Cao Shujie looked at the seedlings that were not growing very well. He was not in a hurry. He took out the stored nutrient solution, mixed it with an equal proportion of water, and started spraying it.
It took Cao Shujie and his father Cao Jianguo two full days to complete this job.
After finishing the work, both men were very tired.
Cao Jianguo also said to his son: "Shujie, there are automatic sprinkler equipment for watering, but there is no automation for spraying pesticides?"
"Boss Song's house has so many flowers. They also need pesticides. Ask her how she solves the problem."
Cao Shujie was a little stunned when his father asked him.
Then he realized that he had ignored this matter before and said, "I'll call her and ask."
"Yeah." Cao Jianguo nodded and counted on his fingers: "Now you have installed automatic sprinkler equipment to replace manual watering, and you also bought a lawn mower to replace manual mowing. I am thinking that spraying pesticides can also be used as an alternative.
Right?" Cao Jianguo said.
There's nothing wrong with his dad's logic.
Cao Shujie realized that he had indeed ignored this, and then called Song Shuli.
Song Shuli thought that Cao Shujie had finished counting the dead seedlings so quickly and asked her to fill in the flower seedlings.
After Cao Shujie told his problem, Song Shuli realized that she had gone astray. She said, "It's simple. You just need to buy a set of drip irrigation equipment. It's not expensive and it's quite easy to use."
Just after she finished speaking, Song Shuli suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother Cao, I remember that you have sprinkler irrigation equipment installed in your orchard."
"It's about installing sprinkler irrigation automation equipment," Cao Shujie said.
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Song Shuli added: "If that's the case, just find someone to transform it into integrated sprinkler and drip irrigation equipment for you. It won't cost much."
"Can it still be like this?" Cao Shujie really has never been exposed to this kind of thing.
Song Shuli smiled and said: "Brother Cao, this is not troublesome. Otherwise, let me introduce you to a factory that makes drip irrigation equipment. They are also very good at modification."
"Sister Song, this is a problem for you." Cao Shujie said.
"It's all a trivial matter." Song Shuli gave Cao Shujie a phone number, and also told Cao Shujie that when the time comes, just tell him that she introduced him.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie muttered the name "Chen Lei" and called directly without hesitation.
After the person on the other end answered the phone, Cao Shujie then asked, "Is it Boss Chen? I was introduced by Sister Song Shuli and Song."
"Sister Song introduced me. I'm Chen Lei. What's your surname?" Chen Lei seemed very polite.
After Cao Shujie introduced himself, he explained his purpose of coming.
Hearing that Cao Shujie said that he was consulting on the renovation of sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation integrated equipment, Chen Lei knew something in his mind. He asked Cao Shujie about the specific situation of the sprinkler irrigation equipment currently installed. After the two parties communicated in detail on the phone, Chen Lei said to him: "Cao Shujie
Boss, you were introduced by Sister Song and you are not an outsider. I will give you a quotation and I will go over if you think it is suitable."
Naturally, Cao Shujie had no problem. According to Chen Lei's wishes, the sprinkler irrigation equipment in Cao Shujie's orchard was modified so that it could be used for both sprinkler and drip irrigation. The cost was about 350 yuan per mu of land.
Cao Shujie thought for a moment and agreed. According to Chen Lei's quotation, the total price would not exceed 30,000 yuan.
If the problem of difficulty in applying pesticides can be completely solved, Cao Shujie thinks it is worth spending the 30,000 yuan.
After putting his mobile phone in his pocket, Cao Jianguo, who was working next to him, asked him: "Shujie, is it done?"
"Dad, it shouldn't be a big problem." Cao Shujie explained drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation.
Cao Jianguo kept thinking: "Why haven't I heard of such a trouble-free thing before?"
Cao Shujie thought to himself that it was probably not that his father had not heard of it, but that he was reluctant to spend the money. He might have thought that there was no need to spend extra money on something that could be solved by just applying medicine.
Good things come in pairs.
Cao Shujie feels that his luck during this period is really good.
The sales of kiwi fruits grown in the orchard have been successfully completed, and the transformation of the entire mountain is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Now the problem of difficult pesticide application has been solved.
Before they came down from the mountain, Cao Jiangang called Cao Shujie again. He told Cao Shujie on the phone that the matter of contracting the mountainous land for the second time had passed the village committee meeting and a village meeting would be held tomorrow.
This is excellent news for Cao Shujie. From now on, he will be able to have more places to realize his ideas.
"Dad, I called Uncle Jiangang just now and said that my continued contracting of mountainous areas has passed the village committee meeting and that there will be a village meeting tomorrow." Cao Shujie said to his father, Cao Jianguo.
Cao Jianguo was very happy when he heard this: "This is a good thing."
When the two men returned home from the orchard, Wang Yuelan had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them to come back to eat.
When Cheng Xiaolin saw Cao Shujie coming back, before she could say anything, Mengmeng turned around and hugged her father and shouted: "Dad, express delivery, car delivery."
"What do you mean?" Cao Shujie didn't understand, and then he heard his wife say: "The small trailer I bought for Mengmeng a few days ago has arrived. I took her to town to pick it up this afternoon and put it in the box.
Come on, you can assemble it for her after dinner."
"Okay!" Cao Shujie agreed happily.
These are all small things.
When Cao Jianguo saw the box under the eaves, he was also curious about what kind of small trailer it was inside, but he was not in a hurry to unpack it and check it out. After finishing dinner, the two men took Mengmeng, who was already waiting impatiently, to unpack it.
Box.
As the box was opened, a car body shell wrapped in a plastic bag appeared in front of everyone.
Cao Jianguo was curious and knocked on the car casing with his hand. He said, "It's made of plastic, but the quality is pretty good."
"Why do you have so many things to worry about? Just hurry up and assemble it and you're done." Wang Yuelan said to him.
Cao Jianguo stopped talking.
Cheng Xiaolin tried her best to suppress her laughter and watched as her husband took out all the accessories from the box and checked the goods according to the instructions. There was nothing missing, and there were even a few extra small things like screws as spares.
Mengmeng couldn't wait any longer. She shouted loudly: "Dad, hurry up."
She asked Cao Shujie to assemble this thing quickly.
"Mengmeng, don't worry, dad will assemble it for you right now."
The car body shell, soft high-density elastic sponge, wheels with shock absorption, and the supporting keel at the bottom of the car all have their own unique functions.
Cao Jianguo couldn't help but sigh: "Shujie, look, others do it more professionally, ours is too crude."
Cao Shujie was noncommittal, and the two of them spent about 10 minutes together to assemble the car. Mengmeng could not wait to get in and sit around for a while.
"Dad, hurry up." Mengmeng shouted.
"Mengmeng, don't worry, I'll let you sit in now."
After Cao Shujie rechecked all the connecting parts and confirmed that there were no safety hazards, he picked up Mengmeng and put her in the small trailer and said, "Sit tight and I'll pull you around twice."
"Dad, little puppy." Mengmeng is still not happy. I have to let the puppy pull the car for me?
Cao Shujie looked at Daha, Erha and the two German shepherds outside, wondering why you were so busy.
He also wanted to help, but Mengmeng wouldn't let her interfere. What could he do?
This small trailer is much better than their hand-made small trucks in terms of overall design and product details.
Mengmeng was sitting in the small trailer, holding on to the railings around the small trailer with both hands. Daha and Erha dragged the small trailer hard and ran. When they came back, Mengmeng said: "It's very soft and doesn't hurt the buttocks."
"Okay, daddy will use this to take you for a ride tomorrow morning." Cao Shujie said.
When Mengmeng heard what her father said, she became excited and shouted that she would get up early tomorrow.
"Shujie, don't forget about the meeting in the village tomorrow morning." Cao Jianguo warned his son.
"Dad, don't worry, I won't forget it," Cao Shujie said.
Back in the bedroom, Cheng Xiaolin asked him what the meeting in the village had to do with him.
"Didn't I reserve some mountainous land for breeding? The two village committees approved it. We will hold a village meeting tomorrow to talk about this matter. It will be a normal process." Cao Shujie said casually.
When Cheng Xiaolin heard this, she didn't ask any more questions.
On the morning of the second day, Cao Shujie got up at around 5 o'clock and prepared to walk the dog.
He also took a special look at his daughter, who was lying on the bed sleeping soundly.
Last night before going to bed, she kept telling her father not to forget to ask her to walk the dog together in the morning. She wanted to go for a walk in the newly bought small trailer.
But seeing Mengmeng sleeping soundly, Cao Shujie thought it would be better not to call her.
Thinking of this, Cao Shujie got dressed and went out with his four dogs.
When he came back from walking the dog, he saw Mengmeng standing at the gate as soon as he entered the house, next to the small trailer he just bought for her.
Seeing Cao Shujie coming in with the four dogs, Mengmeng's little face was quite happy at first, but when she thought that her father ran away secretly without calling her in the morning, her little face turned very ugly.
"Mengmeng, what are you doing?" Cao Shujie asked her.
"Huh!" Mengmeng snorted and turned her face away. She didn't want to see her father.
Cao Shujie smiled: "Mengmeng, why are you still angry? Tell dad who bullied you?"
"Huh!" Mengmeng snorted again.
"Okay, okay, you tell dad who bullied you, and dad will avenge you." Cao Shujie led four dogs while squatting down and patting his daughter's back, coaxing her gently.
Mengmeng may have been touched by Cao Shujie's tenderness. She turned her face and looked at Cao Shujie: "Dad, get out of here, I hate you."
"..." Cao Shujie was a little numb, and her feelings offended her.
"Then tell Dad, what do you hate about me?" Cao Shujie asked her seriously.
Then I heard Mengmeng say: "You said you would take me for a walk, but you didn't call me and ran away."
"You're talking nonsense, I hate you anyway." Mengmeng said seriously.
