Chapter 198 Good night, cute little clever ghost (4100)
"Running for village director? Who did you listen to?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Cao Fei said smoothly: "My mother told me. She said that you helped the village do a big thing and you can handle it. Now everyone wants you to be the village director."
"Also, has something happened to Cao Jiangang? Gao Weimin, that bastard, can't do anything if he only knows how to play tricks. If there is an election at this time, don't even think about it. Just go ahead and choose the right one." Cao Fei said this.
After listening to what he said, Cao Shujie didn't know what to say: "Cao Fei, I want to say that I haven't considered this matter yet, do you believe it?"
"Why don't you believe this?" Cao Fei said with a smile: "I have seen it a long time ago. You are very strange now and want to live a happier and more leisurely life. Am I right?"
"To be honest, Shujie, you are different now from the Shujie I knew before. I remember that you used to work very hard in everything you did. Anyway, you are a bit unfamiliar to me now."
When Cao Shujie heard what he said when he was young, he felt very emotional. Cao Fei really knew him well.
Even Cheng Xiaolin looked at Cao Fei in surprise.
She knew in her heart that Cao Fei had guessed it right.
The reason why they returned to Caojiazhuang from the capital was to get away from the fast-paced life and make their lives easier.
Even though Cao Shujie was very busy and diligent in tending the orchard on the mountain, now that everything is on track, he is not too busy anymore.
For things like recruiting people, other farmers would rather make their family more tired, and few are willing to spend this money.
Before Cao Fei finished speaking, he continued: "Shujie, have you been convinced by me? So, you just said you didn't want to participate in the election. I believe what you said is true."
"But... to be honest, if this happened before, you would definitely have agreed." Cao Fei was filled with emotion.
He feels that he has confirmed the saying "this moment is another moment" since he was a child.
Cao Shujie also admitted this. He said: "I am quite busy now. You see, I am contracted to plant fruit trees in the mountains, and I am engaged in breeding. I am so busy every day."
"But pull him down, what does this mean to you?" Cao Fei asked him.
Cao Shujie was puzzled and asked him: "Cao Fei, what do you think I should do?"
This question is really difficult to answer, and Cao Fei doesn't know how to answer it.
Cao Shujie smiled: "Let's eat first and not discuss these issues."
Cao Fei did not mention again whether Cao Shujie would participate in the election.
The two talked about Cao Zhen's upcoming marriage. Cao Shujie said: "I called Cao Zhen and he should be back around March 20."
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Fei was surprised: "So you're coming back in ten days?"
"Yes, they have to come back to prepare. In addition, Cao Zhen also said that the banquet will not be held at the hotel. It will be held outside the orchard on my mountain at the parking and turning platform. It will be quite troublesome then." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Fei didn't care about that. He said: "Anyway, you are in your hometown. If you need anything, just be more busy. If you need my help, just call me."
"Okay, I will definitely not be polite to you." Cao Shujie said.
The three of them finished dinner with Cao Fei and rushed back to Caojiazhuang from Yiling City.
When we got home, it was only around three o'clock in the afternoon and it was still bright.
Cheng Xiaolin had one thought at this time. She wanted to go to the mountains to try the effect of drone aerial photography.
When she got the drone this morning, Cheng Xiaolin was still test-flying it in the square in front of the Five-Star Department Store, but it was still not as open as her orchard and the environment was more beautiful. No matter after flying or during aerial photography,
You can be more unscrupulous.
"Let's go up the mountain." Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie had nothing to do, so he held Mengmeng's hand, and Mengmeng held the pug Xiaobai. The two of them followed Cheng Xiaolin up the mountain together.
After arriving on the mountain, Cao Shujie first saw his mother, Wang Yuelan, pruning the branches and leaves of the rose tree at the entrance of the orchard.
"Mom." Cao Shujie called.
Mengmeng also shouted: "Grandma, I'm here to see you."
One sentence made Wang Yuelan feel happy in her heart. She put down the scissors in her hand that were specially used to cut branches, and walked towards Mengmeng with a smile: "Mengmeng, do you miss grandma?"
Mengmeng nodded: "I think so, I miss grandma very much. As soon as I came back, I asked dad to take me up."
"Oh, how did you know grandma was in the orchard?" Wang Yuelan asked her.
Mengmeng said without thinking: "I miss grandma, I know it."
"Haha, you little devil." Wang Yuelan patted the dirt on her hands, wiped them clean with her clothes, and held Mengmeng in a circle.
Finally holding Mengmeng in her arms, Wang Yuelan had time to ask her son and daughter-in-law: "Shujie, Linlin, what are you doing here?"
Cheng Xiaolin raised the drone in her hand and said, "Mom, we just got the drone back from the city. I want to come up and try the effect of aerial photography."
"If it works, I will start taking some videos and upload them online to promote our orchard," Cheng Xiaolin said.
Wang Yuelan knew that this matter was very important. She nodded and said, "Quickly try taking a picture and I'll also see what the plane looks like."
"Mom, it's a drone, not a plane." Cao Shujie corrected her.
Wang Yuelan didn't care about this. She waved her hand and said, "It's just a plane anyway."
When Cao Shujie thought about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with that, so he did not correct himself. He helped his wife take out the drone and placed it on the hardened ground on the turning platform in front of the orchard gate. Chen Xiaolin controlled the remote control and slowly
The drone takes off.
As the "buzzing" sound sounded, Cao Jianguo, Cao Shuchao, Zhuang Xuesong and Zhu Shengliang, who were working in the orchard, all heard the sound and looked into the sky together, and then saw a small plane circling back and forth in the sky.
None of them had ever seen this thing before, and they felt very surprised.
Cao Jianguo even shouted in surprise: "Why is there an airplane here? Such a small airplane?"
"Uncle Jianguo, it's really a plane!" Cao Shuchao also said in surprise.
Several people walked out together. At the entrance of the orchard, they saw Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin. They also saw Cheng Xiaolin holding a square-shaped remote control with an antenna in her hand. Following Cheng Xiaolin's command, the plane in the sky moved from time to time.
High, sometimes it gets closer, sometimes it flies away.
Cao Jianguo hurriedly walked to his son and asked him curiously: "Shujie, what is this?"
Before Cao Shujie could speak, Mengmeng, who was standing next to her mother, shouted loudly: "Grandpa, this is a drone."
"What is a drone?" Cao Jianguo was even more curious.
Mengmeng said: "That's right, it's a drone."
She couldn't tell clearly either.
After Cheng Xiaolin let the drone hover stably in the air, she used the remote control to control it and shoot towards the ground. However, this remote control cannot directly see the shooting effect. You need to wait for the drone to come down and take out the memory card inside it.
Come out and use other equipment to see the effect of shooting videos and photos inside.
And if it is pulled too high, the lens will be very blurry.
Despite this, Cheng Xiaolin was very satisfied. She felt that this thing was beyond her imagination.
But Cao Shujie was a little dissatisfied. He felt that this was not very convenient and too backward, but Cao Shujie kept these words in his heart and did not say them.
Fortunately, their camera had the most complete equipment, so it was not difficult to shoot. Cheng Xiaolin got the hang of it after experimenting for a while.
She took a lot of photos and videos, thinking about studying them carefully when she got home to see which one would have better results.
Cao Jianguo, Wang Yuelan and others were even more curious about this thing. They thought it was incredible that they could control it to fly with such a small remote control.
"Is the same thing true for airplanes?" Cao Shuchao asked in a confused manner.
Cao Shujie understood what he wanted to ask and said jokingly: "Brother Chao, real airplanes are not controlled by this kind of remote control."
"Oh, I can't believe that I will never be able to get on a plane in my life." Cao Shuchao said this.
But Cao Shujie said with a smile: "Brother Chao, you are still young, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Cao Shujie's words gave other people unlimited imagination, and they even felt that what Cao Shujie said was reasonable.
The more Cheng Xiaolin played, the happier she became, but after watching it for a while, Cao Shujie lost interest in the drone and walked back to the orchard.
Before leaving, he called Mengmeng and asked her if she was going.
But Mengmeng didn't give any face at all, she said: "Dad, go ahead, I'll play with the airplane."
She also wants to control the remote control like her mother and make the drone fly.
When Cao Shujie heard what his daughter said, he walked directly from the orchard without waiting for Mengmeng to stop.
Both the kiwi and apple trees sprouted new buds and grew lush green leaves.
It's still some time before they bloom, but looking at the growth of the kiwi and apple trees, Cao Shujie feels that they may bloom earlier this year than in previous years.
And this also means that the fruit trees in his orchard may bear fruit earlier.
This made Cao Shujie feel happy, as he seemed to see countless banknotes flying towards him.
At present, only kiwifruit and apples in more than 7 acres of land can bear fruit, and the kiwifruit and apples in the remaining 58 acres of land will have to wait until next year at the earliest.
Therefore, Cao Shujie pays far less attention to new fruit trees at this time than to old fruit trees, because these old fruit trees can now be directly monetized.
Continuing to walk north along the road arranged in the orchard, Cao Shujie stopped at the place where 20 acres of strawberries were planted.
He looked at the strawberry that had stretched out its thick diamond-shaped leaves and bloomed white flowers. But if he looked closely, he found that the white petals had begun to fall off in an orderly manner, which meant that it had finished natural pollination and was about to bloom.
Fruit comes.
According to time calculation, it will 100% produce mature fruits at the end of March and beginning of April, and you can pick them by then.
Cao Shujie felt very happy when he thought about the upcoming harvest, which meant that he was about to have new income and enrich his wallet.
And this kind of money transferred back through manual labor feels more practical.
Speaking of which, the work of planting is really not done by humans, and the money earned every year is considerable.
This year, he sold the kiwis, apples, and newly planted strawberries from the old orchard, plus the 50 cows that will be slaughtered in a few months. This is all he will earn this year.
Cao Shujie looked back at the new orchard, where he still placed most of his hopes.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Cheng Xiaolin took Mengmeng’s hand and came behind her husband. When she saw her husband squatting beside the strawberry patch in a daze, Cheng Xiaolin called him: “Husband, are you okay?”
"It's okay, I was thinking that we will have money again soon." Cao Shujie said to his wife with a smile.
Cheng Xiaolin was also very interested in this matter. She asked: "Husband, how much do you think these strawberries can earn?"
"How should I put this? The price of strawberries is still relatively high now. Our strawberries have a stronger fruity aroma. I plan to focus on picking them then." Cao Shujie said to his wife.
"Didn't that Zuo Le come to see you? Are you going to sell it to him?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie said: "Sell a small part of it to him, and pick the rest."
"There are 20 acres of land here. Once completed, it can produce 100,000 kilograms of strawberries. Guess how much these will cost?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.
Cheng Xiaolin slowly calculated the accounts, and finally said in surprise: "Is there so many? Over one million?"
"Nonsense, do you know how much money we invested?" Cao Shujie rolled his eyes at his wife.
Without letting his wife think hard, Cao Shujie said: "We spent hundreds of thousands on the seedlings alone, as well as other things and labor. Are these not counted?"
Cheng Xiaolin didn't want to talk to her husband. He naturally knew that their family invested a lot of money in growing strawberries, but couldn't he make her happy for a little longer?
Having said that, an income of over one million is also very eye-catching.
Cheng Xiaolin was indeed very moved. When she saw her husband squatting on the ground in the field, looking at the growth of the seedlings here, and looking at how the seedlings were growing there, as if he was immersed in studying, Cheng Xiaolin felt that her husband was really capable.
of.
Needless to say, this year is another bumper year.
The three members of their family came down from the dam together with Cao Jianguo, Wang Yuelan and their elders.
Walking on the slope road, Cao Shujie looked at the rose trees on the roadside, which were about to bloom.
His mind was filled with all kinds of imaginary pictures, and he felt that if these flowers were done well, they would be beautiful.
Chen Xiaolin glanced at it and said, "Shujie, I see these flowers are about to bloom."
"Well, it should be soon." Cao Shujie nodded.
They walked downstairs while talking, and soon they came to the bottom. They walked home together. Cao Shujie also said that he would have something good to eat at night.
"What do you want to eat? I'll make something." Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo followed behind. Wang Yuelan also said: "Linlin, you rest, I will cook."
"Mom, no need, I can do it!" After Cheng Xiaolin finished speaking, she started busy.
