In the courtyard of the two-story building on the east side of the north end of Caojiazhuang, Mengmeng was waving her fist at a red cylinder with a black background.
While she was beating, she made a cry of "baaaaaah" from her mouth.
Occasionally, he would say something like: "I'll fight!"
This is the inflatable sandbag her father Cao Shujie bought for her.
There is a red cylinder at the top and a black ring at the bottom. The ring is filled with water to prevent the sandbag from tilting around.
After Mengmeng practiced on the inflatable sandbag for a while, she was covered in sweat. The sweat beads on her forehead flowed to the ground along her hair, but Mengmeng didn't feel hot at all, and she played quite enthusiastically.
"Auntie, am I awesome?" Mengmeng asked Cao Huifang next to her, and gave her aunt a provocative look.
Cao Huifang was too lazy to talk to Mengmeng. She was still thinking about what her brother said at the village committee election meeting.
She was as excited as the other villagers at that time.
But after calming down, Cao Huifang worried about her brother. How to take Caojiazhuang's path next? This is a problem that must be faced.
As his brother said in his speech, it is difficult for Caojiazhuang to develop as a whole.
Otherwise, there would be no decent news for so many years.
But no matter what, Cao Huifang still supports her brother unconditionally.
Just like her brother's friends stood up to support him at the last moment.
Thinking of more than 20 people of her generation standing up to support her brother, Cao Huifang still feels proud and proud.
If the eldest and second cousins of the uncle's family had not moved their household registration from Caojiazhuang, they would have come back to vote for her brother.
Thinking of these things, Cao Huifang came back to her senses and felt that she should do something.
She looked at her niece who was practicing boxing vigorously and asked her: "Mengmeng, do you think your father is great?"
Mengmeng stopped, looked at her aunt and said, "Of course my dad is great."
"He is a hero!" Mengmeng thought so.
Cao Huifang opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer the question
"Bang bang bang!"
Mengmeng punched the red inflatable sandbag with her fists. Seeing how energetic she was practicing, Cao Huifang stretched out her fist and punched the inflatable sandbag.
Her strength was much greater, and the inflated red sandbag was hit forward almost touching the ground, and then bounced back.
At this time, Mengmeng was still standing there. When she saw the sandbag bounce back, she had no time to react. The red inflatable sandbag hit her head with a bang.
Fortunately, this thing didn't hurt, and Mengmeng was like a normal person. She also held a red inflatable sandbag in both hands and hit her head with it, smiling while hitting it. It seemed like she had unlocked a new way to play.
When Cao Huifang saw how silly her niece was, she wanted to stay away from her.
"Fangfang, Mengmeng, come here and eat watermelon." Cheng Xiaolin called to them in the room.
When she heard about eating watermelon, Mengmeng threw away her aunt and ran directly into the house.
There are no watermelon growers in Caojiazhuang, but there are two watermelon growers in Dongtao Village. They grow different varieties. Not long after they were launched, Cheng Xiaolin rode an electric tricycle to pull one back.
This watermelon has just been pulled out of cold water, and the skin of the watermelon feels cold even when you touch it with your hands.
"Mom, I want to eat watermelon." Mengmeng ran directly to the dining table and looked at the big watermelon placed on the table, her eyes widened.
"Go wash your hands." Cheng Xiaolin said to her.
Mengmeng looked at her dirty little hands and ran to wash her hands happily again.
Cao Huifang came over after washing her hands and said to Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, there are so many watermelons at home, why are you so anxious."
"If I run slower, Auntie, you'll take it all." Mengmeng said this.
Wang Yuelan heard her granddaughter say this from the side, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"Mengmeng, call your dad and ask him to come back and eat watermelon." Wang Yuelan said.
But Mengmeng shook her head and said, "Grandma, my father has just become an official. He is busy, so don't worry about him."
"You are so filial!" Cheng Xiaolin said to her.
Mengmeng giggled and didn't answer.
But when she saw her mother cutting the watermelon, she suddenly realized that her grandfather was not there, so she quickly went to the room where his grandfather was sleeping to call someone.
"Grandpa, get up and eat watermelon." Mengmeng opened the door and shouted.
Cao Zhenghu was lying on the bed to rest. When he heard his great-grandson's daughter's cry, he slowly sat up and said with a smile: "Grandpa has high blood sugar and can't eat watermelon. You go ahead and eat it."
"Grandpa, what does high blood sugar mean? Can't you just eat less?" Mengmeng asked.
Cao Huifang followed and said, "Grandpa, if you eat less, it won't be a big problem."
Mengmeng also clapped her little hands and shouted: "Yes, yes, grandpa, hurry up."
Hearing what Mengmeng said, Cao Zhenghu said: "Okay, grandpa, just eat one piece, but not more."
The young and old people sat around the dining table and saw the watermelon Cheng Xiaolin had cut open, with its red flesh and black seeds.
The watermelon skin is not thick and looks very moist, which is very attractive.
Before Cheng Xiaolin could even think about sharing the melon, Mengmeng stood on the chair and waved her hand to take a few pieces. Cheng Xiaolin thought her daughter wanted to eat it by herself, but who knew that Mengmeng first held a piece and handed it to Cao Zhenghu: "Grandpa
, I’ll get you a big piece, you eat first.”
"Oh, Mengmeng really loves me." Cao Zhenghu said with a smile.
When Cheng Xiaolin saw this scene, she secretly blamed herself for thinking too much.
Then I saw my daughter pick up another piece of watermelon and pass it to her mother-in-law Wang Yuelan: "Grandma, you can eat it too. Mom bought it. It's so sweet."
Wang Yuelan didn't know whether the melon was sweet or not, but she knew that her granddaughter's little mouth was really sweet, and she praised two people in succession, and Mengmeng's behavior made her happy from the bottom of her heart.
Wang Yuelan took the piece of melon, put the pulp to her granddaughter's mouth, and said with a smile: "Mengmeng, grandma won't eat it, you eat it first."
"I don't. Grandma will eat it first. I still have some." Mengmeng pointed at the remaining melon and said.
Cao Huifang thought it was nothing to do with her, but Mengmeng held up another piece of watermelon and handed it to her: "Auntie, you can eat it too."
"You really gave it to me, don't you think I beat you all the time?" Cao Huifang was particularly surprised.
But Mengmeng said innocently: "You are my aunt."
Cao Huifang didn't know what to say.
She thought to herself: "Although this child has many eyes, she is very emotional."
…
In the Caojiazhuang Village Committee compound, as this year's election came to an end, everything calmed down.
But many people know that development has just begun.
The new members of the two committees of Caojiazhuang Village, Cao Jianlong and Cao Shujie, are having a meeting.
The core of this meeting is the ‘Symposium on the Economic Development of Caojiazhuang’.
The name is quite lofty, but to put it bluntly, we are still discussing how to make money.
For the current Caojiazhuang, they have a very stable source of income, which is the dividends from the farmer's restaurant.
Although it is still not much, it is much better now than when Caojiazhuang relied solely on allocations from superiors.
A watermelon has just been opened in the village committee office. It was taken out of the refrigerator. Not long after the watermelon was placed on the table, there was a layer of water droplets on the surface.
Cao Zhengcun opened the melon and handed it to Cao Jianlong and Cao Shujie respectively.
"Secretary Jianlong, Director Cao, how about trying the melon first?" Cao Zhengcun said.
This time he was re-elected as director of security.
The melon just taken out of the refrigerator must be very refreshing. A few people will feel more comfortable eating it than eating ice cream, but for older people, they will not be able to enjoy this bite.
Cao Zhengcun cut another melon at room temperature.
They ate slowly while discussing the topic just now.
Cao Jianlong said: "Shujie, please continue to talk about what you just thought."
"Uncle Long, I think if our Caojiazhuang wants to develop, for now, we still have to continue to follow the route of planting and breeding." Cao Shujie did not come up to deal with those high-end projects. He knew that these things were of little importance to Caojiazhuang.
It's of no use.
The most important thing right now is to be pragmatic and work on down-to-earth projects.
It’s not that we should go to developed provinces, counties and cities to introduce advanced technological projects. That’s pure nonsense.
And to put it harshly, Caojiazhuang currently does not meet the conditions at all, and may not even meet the conditions in the next five or six years.
Cao Shujie thought about it and found that the real advantage of Caojiazhuang itself was actually planting, but it was not food crops, but fruit cultivation.
This is true at all times.
"Shujie, what do you say? Please be more detailed." Cao Jianlong said.
He was not angry because Cao Shujie said such a down-to-earth plan as 'planting and breeding'. He knew very well that Cao Shujie must have a comprehensive idea.
After all, he knew that Cao Shujie himself relied on planting and breeding to develop.
"Shujie, do you mean to let everyone grow strawberries like you?" Cao Jianlong asked.
Cao Shujie shook his head. Seeing that everyone here was confused, he continued: "Uncle Long, to tell you the truth, growing strawberries is very risky. I don't object to someone growing strawberries, but before publicizing this, let's
The risks must be explained clearly first.”
After hearing what Cao Shujie said, everyone else had a rough idea.
Lu Ping shook her head and said: "This is really inappropriate. As far as I know, investing in a greenhouse costs hundreds of thousands, and investing in strawberry seedlings in one acre of land costs tens of thousands."
Such a simple two sets of data can keep most people in Caojiazhuang out.
Cao Zhengcun said: "Shujie, please tell me more specifically."
"Uncle Long, Grandpa Zhengcun, what I want to say is to let the villagers in Caojiazhuang continue to grow kiwi fruit and grow good varieties of kiwi fruit," Cao Shujie said.
He said: "I am currently researching new varieties of kiwi fruit. Of course, it is difficult to produce results in a short period of time."
"But we can grow red or yellow kiwi fruit. I have very mature experience in this area." Cao Shujie said.
"In addition, we can also engage in breeding, such as raising cattle!" Cao Shujie said.
After Cao Jianlong thought for a moment, he said: "Shujie, I understand what you are saying, but whether you grow kiwis or raise cattle, you need to invest money, and you also have to consider future sales."
"Otherwise, who will sell such a large output to?"
My whole body hurts so much that I can't sit still, so I need to rest first.
In addition, there was a bug in the last chapter. The village party secretary is appointed by the superior party committee, not elected. Because Cao Shujie is not a party member, he is positioned as the 'village director'. I didn't check it carefully. A friend reminded me,
I deleted that paragraph, but because that paragraph was gone, his comment was automatically deleted. Laoshu is very grateful to this friend for reminding him, thank you!
