Driving into Pingyuan County, Cao Shujie took the two of them directly to the parking lot of the Five-Star Department Store. He found that today was the National Day, but there were not many cars in the parking lot, not even half.
The parking space was easy to find, which saved him from worry.
After the car stopped, the family of three got out of the car. Cao Shujie squatted down and was about to carry Mengmeng into the mall.
Who knew that the little guy still refused, kicked his legs hard in Cao Shujie's arms, and shouted: "Dad, let me down, I want to go by myself."
Cao Shujie pointed to the shopping mall and said, "That's the stairs upstairs. Dad will carry you in. When you get to the shopping mall, you can walk by yourself, okay?"
"No!" Mengmeng stared at her father, and all the drool from the corner of her mouth dripped onto Cao Shujie's clothes.
"Mengmeng, you are so dirty!" Cheng Xiaolin was convinced when she saw her daughter like this.
She quickly found a tissue to wipe the saliva from the corners of Mengmeng's mouth, and said to her husband: "Husband, don't hug her, let her walk on her own, she will feel the pain if she falls on her feet."
What else could Cao Shujie do? After letting go of his hand, he saw Mengmeng running forward like a wild horse running loose.
Although he ran unsteadily, he never fell down. Cao Shujie's hope of seeing a joke was in vain.
When she walked up the stairs, Mengmeng grabbed the stair railing with both hands, like a crab running sideways, and walked up diagonally with her feet in front and back, as steady as a mountain.
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were stunned below. They had just discussed that their daughter would definitely come to them for help when she went up the stairs. Who knew that Mengmeng's operational ability was so strong!
"Husband, what are you doing standing around? Go quickly!" Cheng Xiaolin urged him.
Only then did Cao Shujie react and hurriedly chased after Mengmeng to protect her from falling from the top when she lost her balance.
Normal people can go up to the first floor in a few seconds, but it took Mengmeng more than a minute to reach the second floor. Despite this, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were very patient and very happy to follow behind.
Cheng Xiaolin also said: "Husband, have you seen that after Mengmeng came back, she ran very happily, ate a lot, and she was more energetic than before."
Cao Shujie nodded and said with a smile: "I think this is better than sending her to kindergarten in advance."
"Hehe, I think so too." Cheng Xiaolin followed.
Coming out of the stairwell, the couple immediately felt the festive atmosphere of the National Day.
There are various slogans of 'National Day' and product discounts hanging everywhere. In addition, many shops on the second floor also have big red banners hanging at the door, saying 'XXX wishes the motherland a happy birthday!' and so on.
.
Mengmeng saw two red lanterns hanging at the door of a store. She kept staring there and pointed at it and shouted: "Dad, I want it."
Before Cao Shujie could say anything, Cheng Xiaolin threatened her: "Mengmeng, that's from someone else's store. If you dare to take it, they will call the police and arrest you. Then you won't be able to go home with your parents."
The little guy raised his face and thought for a while, then said: "Daddy, take it, catch daddy."
When Cheng Xiaolin heard what she said, she burst out laughing and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, arrest your father."
Mengmeng was so naive. When her mother said this, she looked at her father with her little eyes full of hope, hoping that he would hurry up and get it for her.
Cao Shujie gave his wife a look: "You bitch are looking for trouble. Is your butt itchy and in need of a spanking?"
"Bah, I'm too lazy to talk to you." Cheng Xiaolin held Mengmeng's hand and walked forward.
There were not many cars in the parking lot, and after Wu Cheng came in, there was not much traffic in the mall. Cheng Xiaolin also said: "Husband, do you think everyone else has gone out to travel, so no one comes to the mall at this time?"
"
"It's very possible!" Cao Shujie nodded, agreeing with his wife's statement.
But that has nothing to do with them. Traveling at this time is just looking for abuse. They don't have regular jobs, so they can only rest at this time.
Cao Shujie thought that it would be better to take care of things another day and take his parents out for a walk.
Thinking of this, Cao Shujie whispered: "Wife, let's discuss something."
"What are you talking about?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie thought for a while and said, "I think we need to change to a 7-seater car."
"Why change that? The fuel consumption is too high." Cheng Xiaolin said smoothly.
Just after she finished speaking, she stopped again and asked, "You didn't mean to change the van, did you? It's for hauling goods?"
"What kind of van should I change? What I'm talking about is a 7-seater business car. When we're not busy, we, a family of three, can take Mengmeng, her grandpa, grandma, and grandma out for a walk together."
"It doesn't take much. I go out once or twice a year to see the scenery outside. What do you think?" Cao Shujie asked her.
Cheng Xiaolin admitted that she was moved by her husband's description, but when she thought about the fact that they were still in the early stages of their business, most of the funds they used were bank loans, and they bought a crappy 7-seater business.
Thinking of this, she said with a straight face: "Let's wait a few years. My dad now makes money outside except when farming is busy. Do you think he will go?"
"Honey, is this what you think? I think you are too biased." Cao Shujie wanted to nag a few words, but his wife had already taken Mengmeng into a nearby shop selling air conditioners.
Cao Shujie looked up and saw the word "Gree". It was a hard brand and that was it.
When they came out of the store ten minutes later, they bought a vertical air conditioner and two wall-mounted air conditioners, and enjoyed a National Day discount with a minimum of 25% off, which was said to be the lowest price promotion of some manufacturer.
"Husband, you can save us more than 4,000 yuan at once. Buying now is really a good deal." Cheng Xiaolin said excitedly next to her.
Cao Shujie thought to himself, you can also buy a cheaper brand...
Then I went to buy more practical washing machines, gas stoves, refrigerators, electric water heaters, etc.
But when it came to buying a TV, Cao Shujie was a little hesitant. The couple almost never turned on the TV at home. Mengmeng rarely watched TV and was not very keen on TV.
"Why don't you buy a TV?" Cao Shujie suggested.
His wife wanted to agree, but after thinking carefully for a while, she still said: "If you don't buy it, when guests come to the house in the future, they won't even have the most basic entertainment, just drink tea and eat melon seeds, right?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaolin hesitated and said: "How about we just buy a big one? Who told us that the living room is too big to put a small one at all?"
"Okay!" Cao Shujie didn't hesitate this time, and the couple finally bought a 55-inch TV.
In addition to this size, there are also two 70-inch 'ultra-large display' TV sets launched by Sharp this year. However, once Cao Shujie realized that it would be uncoordinated to put a 70-inch TV in his space, he simply gave up the idea.
After finishing his work, he made appointments with various stores and sent them to Caojiazhuang the day after tomorrow. Cao Shujie then dialed Cao Zhen's phone and asked where he was.
"Have you come to the county seat?" Cao Zhen asked them.
After hearing Cao Shujie's affirmative answer, Cao Zhen said something.
He has not been at work for the past two days. He is saying goodbye to his friends in Pingyuan County. He is going to Xinjiang to manage cotton planting. Although he can come back at any time, he is the only one who knows that he has such a heavy responsibility to reduce the cost of raw materials for the company and enjoys it.
With a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, could he really just leave everything in Xinjiang and go back home?
Although Cao Zhen is lazy sometimes, on the contrary, Cao Zhen has a strong sense of responsibility!
Inside a building in Mingshi Mingdu Community, Lian Xuezhu was chatting with his nephew Cao Zhen, talking about what Cao Zhen should do after he went to Xinjiang.
In this regard, Lian Xuezhu was very reassured about his nephew.
Seeing his nephew coming back from answering the phone, Lian Xuezhu asked him: "Zhenzhen, who is it? Your friend?"
"Uncle, he is Shujie, the one who grows kiwis in his hometown." Cao Zhen said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Xuezhu remembered him and said, "I still remember him. Then I went back to his place to pick and build a team. He also said a lot to me and Lao Liu."
"Uncle, are you serious? This is really strange. He is like a boring gourd who rarely talks to people he doesn't know well." Cao Zhen said.
Lian Xuezhu thought about the situation carefully and shook his head: "I don't think he looks like a dull gourd. He seems to have a lot to say to us."
"Hey, maybe it's because I'm familiar with my uncle." Cao Zhen guessed.
Lian Xuezhu thought about it carefully and suddenly said: "I saw his father at the gate of the orchard that day. He is your Uncle Jianguo. Next time I go to your house, I will have two more drinks with your Uncle Jianguo."
Seeing that his uncle was speaking very seriously, Cao Zhen did not interrupt his indulgence in drinking.
Fortunately, Lian Xuezhu still remembered the business and asked him: "Let him come to our house?"
"Uncle, this time I'm going to play with you at night and teach you how to do it. I'm going to give you a good idea. What's the point?"
"That's it, that's alright. When you have the opportunity in the future, you can ask him to come to our house for dinner." Lian Xuezhu said with a smile.
Cao Zhen said 'hmm' and said, "Uncle, there is one more thing I need your help with."
"What's the matter?" Lian Xuezhu was a little curious. He thought it must be interesting what his nephew said before he left for a foreign country.
Then I heard his nephew say: "Cao Shujie contracted more than 100 acres of land last month. I heard him say that now he has contracted more than 200 acres of land. I remember you said last time that one contracted more than 200 acres of mountainous land.
Does the Ministry of Agriculture have any policy subsidies?”
After Cao Zhen finished speaking, Lian Xuezhu nodded: "Well, there is indeed such a subsidy."
Lian Xuezhu is very familiar with this aspect. He said: "You are talking about the application for the 'Vegetable and Fruit Tea Standardization Project Subsidy'. The minimum required facility scale is more than 200 acres and the open-air scale is more than 1,000 acres. It adopts the construction first and then supplement
Method, one-time subsidy of 500,000 to 1 million yuan, does he qualify?"
Hearing what his uncle said, Cao Zhen was also confused. He said: "I don't know the details, but I know that the mountainous lands that Cao Shujie later contracted were used for farming, and he was not planting fruit trees."
"That's it." Lian Xuezhu thought for a while and finally said: "You can ask him to come to the Forestry Bureau to check what policies it complies with. You can also go to the Agriculture Bureau for consultation. I will tell Lao Liu."
"Okay, let me first thank uncle for his help." Cao Zhen said.
"You kid..." Lian Xuezhu looked at his nephew and said seriously: "When you go out from now on, take care of yourself first."
"You must remember clearly the methods we just mentioned. When you get to Xinjiang, call me directly if you need anything." Lian Xuezhu said with a fierce expression on his face.
…
Pingyuan County has recently opened a hotpot restaurant called Doulao, which is said to be an imitation of another well-known hotpot brand.
The store is so luxuriously decorated that people who don’t know it might think they are walking into KVT.
After entering the private room, there is a large round table with a small pot for each person. This is said to be cleaner and more hygienic.
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin had stayed in the capital for several years. Seeing this configuration, Cheng Xiaolin whispered and said with a smile: "I want to imitate Haidilao, but it's a bit different."
Cao Shujie nodded: "I think so too."
He said: "But I don't think it's necessary. The consumption here is quite high. How many people in Pingyuan County will come here to spend money?"
"If you have that kind of spending power, you will think that the decoration here is too 'rustic' and does not suit your status. Wife, do you think that's right?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.
Cheng Xiaolin is already counting on her fingers how many months this place will be open.
Cao Zhenxuan invited them to dinner here. Firstly, he wanted to experience what this store was like, which was different from the current eating and consumption habits in Pingyuan County. Secondly, he could reimburse his consumption through the public account and was not afraid of spending money.
Try the changes brought about by high consumption.
While waiting, Cao Shuyang, Cao Shulun, Cao Fei, Cao Tiemin and others came over one after another.
The protagonist Cao Zhen was the last one to come over. As soon as he came in, he apologized repeatedly: "Brothers, I'm really sorry for today. There are too many things to hand over recently, and we don't even have the National Day holiday."
"Are you done?" Cao Fei asked him.
After seeing Cao Zhen nodding, several other people stopped asking him about his work.
Cao Zhen called the waiter to bring over the menu and asked Cao Shujie and the others to order. Cao Shujie ordered a shrimp slider and fresh duck blood. This stuff was something his daughter could eat. The two of them could eat whatever they wanted.
.
After going through the menu, Cao Zhen finally ordered a table of beef and mutton rolls, vegetables, meatballs, etc.
Cao Zhen also muttered: "This time I invite you to dinner and ask you to order food. Everyone is pretending to be a bitch. It's really unpleasant."
"Next time you try to get me to make ends meet, it will be the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."
"Cao Zhen, when are you leaving?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Cao Zhen waved his hand: "What, you still want to come over and see me off. Let's forget it. Just pretend you don't know. Maybe I will arrive in Xinjiang when I wake up early tomorrow morning."
After hearing him bragging so out of the blue, several people stopped discussing the matter.
During the banquet, several people drank with Cao Zhen intentionally or unintentionally, causing Cao Zhen to rub his eyes and chatter: "Damn it, it's obviously a good thing. I'm going back to Xinjiang to do gold plating. When I come back, at least one department manager will
, the future has a bright future, but it’s better for you, you have to do it like a separation between life and death!”
"Cao Zhen, don't talk nonsense. Sometimes God has his eyes open. Good things don't work and bad things work!" Cao Shulun grinned. He immediately became the target of the crowd's attack.
Cao Zhen yelled at him: "Cao Shulun, if you can't speak with that broken mouth, just shut your anus and stop talking."
We will continue tomorrow. I will update four times on Saturday and try 16,000. Today is in vain.
