Chapter 216 Purchase of strawberries in large quantities (5000) 7124
Reading, monthly pass
Thinking of this, the voices of Deng Miaoshan, Ye Beiwen and others gradually became quieter.
Cao Huifang was talking. She turned around and saw that none of them were talking, so she asked them, "What's wrong with you? You don't want to go to my house."
"I want to go, but I'm afraid of causing trouble to you," Ye Beiwen said.
When Cao Huifang heard what was going on, she waved her hand: "It's okay!"
"Just go, my brother and my sister-in-law are very hospitable." She stretched out her hand and gestured: "My brother also built a two-story building. He is living a very comfortable life in the village now. To be honest, I envy him."
"Your brother is building a two-story building?" Deng Miaoshan and the others were shocked and didn't know what to say.
Cao Huifang nodded: "No, it's at the foot of the mountain where he contracted the orchard. I stayed at my brother's house during the winter vacation, and my grandfather also lived there."
She said: "In winter, we still have our own heater, but the heater in our school is simply incomparable."
"It's so good, your brother even installed the heating in his own house?" Xu Fang was surprised. She had also been to Caojiazhuang, which was a very ordinary village.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is indeed very good, but how to install heating?
Cao Huifang nodded: "My brother has specially made a room for the boiler. He has installed radiators in other rooms. He can just use the boiler to heat hot water. But burning charcoal costs money. Most people can't afford it."
"But this also has an advantage. If you feel the weather is cold and the temperature is low, you can turn on the heater in advance. After winter, you can decide when to turn it off."
Even Huang Jingmin was extremely envious after hearing this.
She said: "Are all rural areas so good now?"
"How can that be possible? Fangfang's brother is capable. If it's someone else, I think it's better to forget it." Ye Beiwen shook his head.
There are more than 600,000 natural administrative villages in the country, but there are not many people who are really capable of surviving in the villages.
Sometimes when we calm down and think about it, Deng Miaoshan and others feel that Cao Huifang's brother is like an alien!
He obviously has money and the ability to make money, so he can choose a better and more convenient urban life, but he just returned to the countryside from a place like the capital where land is scarce.
After Deng Miaoshan, Huang Jingmin and others learned about this from Cao Huifang, they couldn't figure out what Cao Shujie was thinking.
"Forget it, Fangfang, let's go play with you for a day then?" Zhang Na finally said.
She is still the tallest and strongest among the group of people. Her frame looks bigger than that of a normal girl. When she speaks, she is straightforward and never mince words.
Cao Huifang smiled and nodded in agreement: "No problem, I'll call my parents later and then my brother, so you don't have to stay in a hotel this time."
…
In Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie is feeding the five puppies in the yard.
Among these five puppies, two have dark yellow hair and three have gray-white hair. They look as cute as fur dolls.
There was a special dog trough on the ground, which contained warm corn mush. The five puppies drank it very enthusiastically.
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu was sitting next to him watching his grandson feeding the puppies. Mengmeng snuggled next to Cao Zhenghu and looked at the five puppies who were eating. The laughter in her mouth never stopped.
From time to time, he would look back at Cao Zhenghu and shout, "Grandpa, look, the little dog is so cute."
Cao Zhenghu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, they are indeed cute and cute. Do you like them?"
"I like it, grandpa, I like it so much!" Mengmeng stretched out her hands and gestured. She wanted to find a more suitable comparison, so she said, "Just like I like my father."
Cao Shujie squinted at his daughter, wondering if this child really couldn't speak.
Cao Zhenghu, on the other hand, was so amused that he burst out laughing and nodded: "Mengmeng is right, he is exactly the same as your father when he was a child."
Cao Shujie pretended he didn't hear it, and he couldn't have a falling out with his grandfather.
Cao Zhenghu looked at the five little native dogs that were devouring their food and said, "Shujie, if this Shiba Inu is well trained, it will be even more ferocious than your two big wolf dogs."
"Grandpa, is it true?" Cao Shujie didn't believe it.
He didn't have this condition in his previous life, and he never had a dog in the capital.
When he was young, their family had a dog, but it took so long that Cao Shujie had almost forgotten it, and many of his memories were of no reference value.
Cao Zhenghu said with certainty: "Of course, this Shiba Inu is not as big as a wolf dog, but when it gets really anxious, they bite even more fiercely."
Hearing what his grandfather said, Cao Shujie was quite looking forward to it. He asked, "Grandpa, how do you train this kind of dog?"
"I can't explain it to you in one or two words. Let's do it this way. When they are older, I will train them with you." Cao Zhenghu felt energetic all over when he thought of training dogs.
Cao Shujie didn't get what he asked for, so he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll have to see grandpa show off his skills when the time comes."
"You bastard knows how to make me happy." Cao Zhenghu burst into laughter.
He feels like he is at least 5 years younger now.
This is different from what he did with his eldest son.
When he was with his boss, he spent 90% of the year walking around with him.
He spent very little time with his grandson and great-grandson. Although Cao Zhenghu didn't say it, in his heart he preferred this situation.
He has children, grandchildren, Chenghuan, and more importantly, a very cute great-granddaughter who is also there to serve as his pistachio.
Days like this, he didn't want to end.
But he felt that time flew by so fast. It seemed that he had just returned from Anyi City not long ago, but in fact, almost four months had passed.
One-third of the year will soon be over.
After seeing his grandson feeding the five puppies, putting them back into the dog cage one by one, and then putting them on the top of the kennel to bask in the sun, Cao Zhenghu stood up and said, "Shujie, I'm going for a walk."
"Grandpa, where are you going? There are a lot of people going up and down the mountain in front of our house. Please be patient." Cao Shujie warned him.
Cao Zhen will hold a wedding and a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow.
Since yesterday, people have been transporting tables, chairs and benches to the mountain, and it is the same today.
Not only that, some people also went to buy vegetables and meat, and then brought them back and sent them to the mountains.
There are enough different kinds of meat to fill three large freezers.
Cao Zhenghu also knew about this. He said, "I'm going to have a chat with your Grandpa Zhengyin. What else can I do?"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Mengmeng and asked her: "Mengmeng, will you follow me?"
"Grandpa, I want to go too." Mengmeng quickly stood up and chased after him, holding Cao Zhenghu's hand and shaking it back without looking back: "Dad, bye!"
Cao Shujie also said: "Bye Mengmeng."
After Cheng Xiaolin finished editing the footage, when she came down from the second floor, she saw her husband was the only one in the yard, so she asked him: "Shujie, where is Mengmeng?"
"She went out with her grandpa to visit. It's okay." After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he asked her: "Are you done with your work?"
"Well, after editing, I uploaded it directly." Cheng Xiaolin had a smirk on her face, as if she wanted to see her husband make a fool of himself.
When Cao Shujie thought of the scene where he and the dog gored the cow, he felt very bad and said, "I'm going out for a trip, will you go?"
"What are you going for?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie rolled his eyes at her angrily and said, "What else can I do? I'll go help Cao Zhen."
"Then you go ahead, I'll go to the orchard to shoot some videos." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Cao Shujie went upstairs to change his clothes before going out.
After leaving home, walking west to the road, then turning south, Cao Shujie walked along the road towards Cao Zhen's house.
But he didn't expect to meet his grandfather Cao Zhenghu and his daughter Mengmeng on the way.
Grandpa was talking to Cao Zhenglin, and Mengmeng was circling back and forth beside him.
Suddenly seeing Cao Shujie coming, Mengmeng immediately turned around, called her father, and ran over.
Cao Zhenghu was surprised when he saw his grandson coming, and asked him: "Shujie, what are you busy with?"
Cao Shujie said: "Grandpa, I will go to Cao Zhen's house to help and see if there is any work."
"What are you talking about with my Grandpa Zhenglin?" Cao Shujie was still curious.
Cao Zhenglin waved to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, come here and I will tell you something."
"Grandpa Zheng Lin, what's going on?" Cao Shujie asked.
"I just heard about it this morning. I heard that Jiangang was going to be sentenced," Cao Zhenglin said.
"How many years will the sentence be?" Cao Shujie asked.
But Cao Zhenglin shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics. I heard someone tell me early this morning that the verdict will be announced next month. I didn't understand what it meant."
"So that's it." Cao Shujie understood. This matter hasn't been put to trial yet. Maybe the prosecutor has already got the definite evidence.
As for the source of the evidence, Cao Shujie first thought of Li Wenhao, the boss of the Qinghuang Transport Team. He felt that most of the fatal evidence came from Li Wenhao.
As for Cao Jiangang's matter, from the bottom of his heart, he was not interested in this matter or its final outcome.
He told his grandfather and Cao Zhenglin: "Grandpa, Grandpa Zhenglin, while you two are chatting, I will go to Cao Zhen's place first."
"Go ahead, go ahead. I see many people are joining the Jianzong family. Getting married is a big deal." Cao Zhenglin said proactively.
Cao Shujie nodded, and he lowered his head and asked his daughter: "Mengmeng, are you coming with me?"
Unexpectedly, Mengmeng shook her head, then ran behind Cao Zhenghu, hugged Cao Zhenghu's calf and said, "I'm not going, I want to follow grandpa."
"Okay, then you take your time and play, I'm leaving!"
Cao Shujie continued walking south.
Cao Zhenglin looked at his back and asked Cao Zhenghu: "Brother Hu, didn't you persuade Shujie to run for village party secretary?"
"If it really doesn't work, it's okay to appoint a village director. Gao Weimin, that bitch, only knows how to occupy the seat, but he doesn't do anything about human affairs." Cao Zhenglin has great opinions on the current village director Cao Weimin.
Cao Zhenghu shook his head: "Shujie can do whatever he wants, I don't care about this."
Cao Zhenglin opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.
He felt that Cao Jiangang was going to be sentenced now and would definitely not be able to get out in a short time. If Cao Shujie wanted to run for village party secretary or village director at this time, he would not be the second candidate at all.
Cao Zhenghu said with a smile: "Today's young people, we can't understand them at all."
This is right, Cao Zhenglin also had the same idea.
…
While Cao Shujie was helping Cao Zhen, Cao Tiemin also returned from Pingyuan County.
I found out that Cao Zhen will hold a wedding the day after tomorrow. He will definitely be very busy at this time. Cao Tiemin will have to postpone everything he thinks about making money.
However, it is not easy for Cao Shuyang and Cao Shulun to ask for leave in their workplace, so they still ask for two days at the end of the month.
At the same time, while Cao Shujie was helping Cao Zhen, two cars with provincial license plates drove along the North-South Highway to Caojiazhuang.
After they got off the car, they asked someone: "Excuse me, do we have a 'Mengmeng Orchard' here?"
When he asked about the name, the people in Caojiazhuang really didn't know it, but someone said: "Young man, you are asking about Cao Shujie's orchard, right? His daughter's name is 'Mengmeng'."
The speaker was Sun Caifeng, Gao Qiang’s wife. She came to the north of the village today to look for someone to borrow something. Unexpectedly, she met someone asking for directions.
Hearing what she said, a joyful look flashed across the face of the young man asking for directions. He gestured with his hand on his waist and asked: "Sister, is the Mengmeng you are talking about a little girl of this height? It looks like
Chubby, with short hair, very cute?"
"You're right, that's Mengmeng." Sun Caifeng followed.
The young man who asked for directions was even happier. He asked: "Does this little girl named Mengmeng often ride a big black-haired wolfdog?"
"Yes, they have several dogs at home, and they all look quite fierce." Sun Caifeng pointed to the mountain to the east and said, "Follow that mountain road, and there is a large orchard on the mountain, right over there."
The young man who asked for directions thanked Sun Caifeng and the others, returned to the car, and told his fellow passengers with a somewhat excited expression: "We are here. The mountain to the east is the 'Mengmeng Orchard'."
"Really, so we can see Xiao Mengmeng soon?" A young woman in the car also said happily.
"It should be. I asked the elder sister just now, and she said that the orchard owner's daughter is called Mengmeng. She is chubby, similar to the little girl in the video, and she is very cute."
"Tianzhi, why are we wasting time? Let's go quickly." A fat man sitting on the passenger seat in the car shouted.
The young man who got off the car just now is named Zhang Tianzhi, the girl is named Xu Su, and the fat man is named Nie Bin. They all came here by watching the video of "Cengmeng Orchard" and saw the post "I am Li Lianfa" at the bottom of the video.
.
Their job is to pour fruit.
The person in the car behind shouted: "Tianzhi, are you looking for the right place?"
"By the way, this is it. Let's drive west. The orchard is on that mountain." Zhang Tianzhi said.
Hearing what he said, the three people in the car behind were also very excited. They said, "Then why are you hesitating? Let's go quickly."
"That mountain doesn't look low. Can the car drive up it?" Nie Bin, the fat man in the car, was a little worried.
With his weight of nearly 300 kilograms, he is very scared of climbing mountains.
But after Zhang Tianzhi looked at it for a while, he said, "It should be fine. I just saw a tricycle riding on it."
"Don't waste time, let's take you away quickly." Fatty Nie Bin became anxious.
Judging from his body shape, you can tell that he likes to eat, especially fruits. Even the project of flipping fruits was organized by him.
After Zhang Tianzhi got in the car, he turned around and drove west.
At this time, many people were busy moving things to the mountain, which were all used by Cao Zhen for his wedding.
They saw a car about to get on and quickly stopped it.
When Zhang Tianzhi lowered the car window, one of the people helping said: "Don't get up there, there's no way to park the car now."
"Brother, what's going on?" Zhang Tianzhi stuck his head out and asked.
Seeing Zhang Tianzhi's good attitude, the other party smiled and told him: "Someone is going to get married or hold a wedding up there. Didn't you see that we are transporting tables and chairs up there?"
"You two cars can't even turn around when you get there."
Zhang Tianzhi never expected that such a thing would happen. He asked again: "Brother, I want to ask if this is the Mengmeng Orchard?"
"Are you talking about Mengmeng, the daughter of Shujie's family?" The speaker was Cao Wanchun, and he followed up: "But Shujie and his daughter did not go up the mountain today. They went to play in the village. Do you know their phone numbers? Yes.
Why don't you call them and ask?"
Hearing what Cao Wanchun said, Zhang Tianzhi gave up. He backed up the car and found a place underneath to park it.
Then he said to the fat man Nie Bin and the girl Xu Su in the car: "You guys wait in the car first? Or come up with me and have a look?"
"Tianzhi, let me walk up with you." Xu Su said simply.
But the fat man Nie Bin felt that the mountain was not friendly to him at all, so he waved his hand: "I'll wait for you below."
Anyway, he doesn't want to find fault for himself.
"Okay, let's go up and take a look first, and I'll call you when we have the results." After Zhang Tianzhi finished speaking, he and Xu Su got out of the car, and said hello to the car behind, asking them to go first.
Waiting below, he and Xu Su walked towards the mountain.
…
Cao Shujie was working when he received a call from his wife Cheng Xiaolin.
Cheng Xiaolin said on the phone that a client from a provincial capital came to the orchard to buy strawberries in large quantities. Would she like to talk to Cao Shujie in person?
"Are there any customers from the provincial capital?" After hearing what his wife said, Cao Shujie was also a little puzzled. Why didn't he come to play so early? He really knows how to choose the day.
But he was also curious.
It's definitely not okay to leave customers hanging on the mountain without anyone taking care of them.
He first told Cao Zhen, then left Cao Zhen's house and walked towards the mountain.
Passing by the place where his grandfather and Cao Zhenglin were discussing and talking just now, it was already early and I didn’t know where they could continue drinking tea and chatting.
Cao Shujie thought that there were still customers waiting in the orchard, so he didn't waste time and started running.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Cao Shujie saw two cars from the provincial capital parked on the side of the road out of the way.
He took a look and was about to continue walking up when he suddenly heard someone in the car open the door and shout loudly: "Hey, brother, are you the dog thief who stole the fruit in the video?"
Cao Shujie's face turned dark when he heard him shouting like this. Is there anyone who shouts like this?
