Chapter 459 On the importance of relationships (410.01 million)
Finally got back to Caojiazhuang by bus. After the bus stopped, Cao Shujie hurriedly got off the bus.
A gust of wind blew over, and Cao Shujie felt much more comfortable all over.
As I walked toward my home, I met Cao Jianhua riding an electric tricycle from the north. The tricycle was full of things, and he was probably going to town to buy goods.
"Uncle Hua, what are you busy with?"
When Cao Jianhua heard Cao Shujie calling him, he stopped the electric tricycle: "Shujie, where have you been and why did you come back by bus? Where is your car?"
Who in Caojiazhuang doesn't know that the village director Cao Shujie owns two cars, and neither of them is cheap.
"My wife drove the car away. Uncle Hua, did you just buy this?" Cao Shujie glanced at the pocket of the car. There was food and drink, and a box of cigarettes of different brands, including Zhonghua.
"Go to the wholesale department in town to buy some goods. If you don't come into my store, they won't be sold." Cao Jianhua now looks much more cheerful than when he was running a breeding farm.
"Shujie, you are doing better and better now. Everyone in our village is making money with you, and more people come to my store to buy things." Cao Jianhua pointed to the strips of cigarettes in the box and said, "Did you see it? Just
Even the quality of these cigarettes has gone up, and few people buy such cheap cigarettes."
Hearing what Cao Jianhua said, Cao Shujie smiled and nodded: "Uncle Hua, isn't this a good thing? You can also make more money."
"Hey, it's just a hard-earned salary, but it doesn't amount to much." That's what Cao Jianhua said.
But the joy on his face made it clear at a glance that what he said was not true.
"Uncle Hua, I just came back. I have something to do and I need to go home first. Let's talk some other time." Cao Shujie thought about the postal service calling him and going over to get the drawings, so he didn't waste time.
Cao Jianhua also knew that Cao Shujie was very busy and rarely saw his people: "Go and do your work quickly."
The two separated, and Cao Shujie walked toward his home. The door of his home was open.
Before they even entered, Daha and Erha started to scream loudly, and Dahei's deep roar like a ferocious beast also followed.
Cao Shujie was overjoyed: "Dahei, stop shouting."
"I've been away for the past two days, are you lazy again?" Cao Shujie went in and saw his grandfather enjoying the shade under the tree in the yard.
He held a cattail leaf fan in his hand and swayed it slowly. There was a small round table on the other side with a teapot and teacups on it. This life looked so pleasant.
"Shujie, are you back?" Cao Zhenghu turned sideways and looked outside.
Not seeing the little doll, he asked: "Where's Mengmeng? Didn't she follow you back?"
Cao Shujie felt very hurt, he was just a partner in the relationship.
"Grandpa, Mengmeng and her mother will stay in Chengjiapo for a few days before coming back." This is what Cao Shujie said.
Cao Zhenghu was a little disappointed. He then asked: "Why didn't I hear the movement of the car? How did you get back?"
"Grandpa, I came back by bus." Cao Shujie said.
"You're quite tired, go up and take a rest."
But Cao Shujie still had something urgent to do, so he said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, I have something else to do. I have to go out again when I come back to get the car keys."
"You just came back, so you can't take a break." Cao Zhenghu also felt sorry for her grandson.
But Cao Shujie is really in no mood to rest. Now he is rushing forward against the clock. If he can save a little, the factory can start working one day earlier.
Although he has bought the factory now and has no rent, it is also a waste that the factory remains vacant.
"Then go and do your work. Will you come back for dinner tonight? I'll tell your mother when you come back." Cao Zhenghu asked.
Cao Shujie nodded and told his grandfather that he would definitely come back for dinner in the evening.
Taking the key, Cao Shujie drove the Beijing-branded LaCrosse to town again.
When he arrived at the Qingshi Town Post Office and parked his car, Cao Shujie looked at the license plate and was still sighing. Unknowingly, it has been almost two and a half years since he returned from the capital. Time flies so fast.
It is true that his hometown does not have as many resources as the capital city, but if Cao Shujie is given another choice, he still has no regrets.
Entering the door, Cao Shujie saw a woman standing in the room. He went over and asked, "Hello, I'm Cao Shujie. I'm here to pick up a courier. Who can I call?"
"Cao Shujie?" The other party frowned and thought, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "I wonder why we are so familiar, you are Director Cao!"
Cao Shujie thought to himself, am I so famous?
"Director Cao, wait a minute. I'll look for it for you right now." Without looking for anyone else, she went to the next room to do some digging. After a while, she came back with a very long package.
"Director Cao, look at this. This is yours." The other party handed the express to Cao Shujie.
He also verified his mobile phone number, and after they matched, the other party handed him the express package.
Cao Shujie took it and pressed it down with his hand.
"Good guy, so heavy." Cao Shujie complained.
The people at the post office didn't ask any questions.
Cao Shujie said a few words to the other party, then took the things and left.
He went to the factory. The door was open. Cao Shulin and a few people were cleaning here, and they usually looked at the factory.
Cao Shulin was very happy to see Cao Shujie coming over: "Shujie, when will we start construction here?"
Cao Shujie laughed heartily: "Construction will start in the next few days?"
Cao Shulin didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and he couldn't believe it.
However, Cao Shujie had already taken out the drawings sent from the car, patted the outer layer of the package, and said to Cao Shulin: "Have you seen the construction drawings in the workshop? I can just find a construction contractor to work according to them."
Without waiting for Cao Shulin to ask, Cao Shujie found his cell phone and called Cao Zhenggang.
After waiting for the other party to connect, Cao Shujie called Grandpa Zhenggang.
Then I briefly explained my situation to him and asked him if he could do it.
Cao Zhenggang was not in a hurry to take over the job this time. He understood that work like this was not easy to do and involved many problems. Even if he had drawings, the problem was that he did not have many capable people under him.
It's okay to build a house in the countryside, and it's okay to go to the construction site in the city to do odd jobs. However, Cao Shujie's job requires precise positioning of dimensions. There cannot be too big a tolerance, otherwise it will be easy to cause problems due to data differences when installing equipment.
The device cannot be installed.
He cannot bear this responsibility.
"Shujie, you'd better find a regular construction company for this job. I can't do it, so I'll do odd jobs for you." Cao Zhenggang was very happy.
After hearing what he said, Cao Shujie realized that he had thought that Cao Zhenggang and the others were a little too tall.
"Grandpa Zhenggang, okay, let me contact a few construction companies first. If there is any odd job, I will contact you again." Cao Shujie and Cao Zhenggang chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Cao Shulin was listening, but he didn't interrupt.
Cao Shujie thought that if Cao Zhenggang couldn't do it here, he would have to go to the county to contact the construction company.
It is not appropriate to delay this matter any longer.
Seeing that it was still early, Cao Shujie said a few words to Cao Shulin, and he drove directly to the county with the drawings.
After arriving here, Cao Shujie did not search blindly. He knew people and had connections.
Although Lian Xuezhu, the top leader of the Forestry Bureau, is not in charge of construction, his intricate network of relationships is more delicate than his.
Sure enough, when Lian Xuezhu heard what Cao Shujie said, he said directly: "This is easy to handle. I'll give you a phone call. This isn't a big job for you. Just contact the county construction company."
Look how the pattern and the tone of speaking are different.
In Cao Zhenggang's eyes, he felt that the renovation of Cao Shujie's workshop was a big job and he couldn't do it.
But here, Lian Xuezhu felt that Cao Shujie's job was just that.
"Uncle, the new kiwi fruits in my orchard are almost ripe. When they are ripe, I will call you and come over to play and pick some yellow and red kiwi fruits to eat."
"I heard that the red kiwi fruit has higher nutritional value, right?" Lian Xuezhu asked.
"Hey, that's what you think." Cao Shujie said.
Lian Xuezhu pointed at him and said: "Shujie, you are such a slippery man. I can see that you are full of evil thoughts."
"No way, I will definitely not be mean in front of my uncle."
Having said this, Cao Shujie saw that Lian Xuezhu had a lot of white hair on his head and there were more wrinkles on his face than before. He felt emotional thinking about the help Lian Xuezhu had given him over the past two years.
"Uncle, I still have some velvet antler slices over there. I'm a little anxious today. I'll get some for you another day to nourish your body." Cao Shujie said this.
"Deer antler slices? Did you buy them?"
Just as Lian Xuezhu finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "I remembered that you still have a few sika deer in your orchard, and the antler pieces of these sika deer are really good things."
In this position, regardless of whether it is a gift or a gift, he will more or less encounter things like deer antler slices.
I am also very familiar with this stuff.
"That thing is too expensive, I can't have it."
"Uncle, these are all our own things, regardless of money, so just leave them as they are. I will deliver them to you in a while, or you can bring them back when you go to my place to pick kiwi fruits."
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Lian Xuezhu was really moved.
Real sika deer antler slices on the market are actually very difficult to buy.
Many of them are red deer and reindeer antler slices. The nutritional value of those antler slices is incomparable to that of sika deer. It is better not to eat them.
Perhaps because of this incident, Lian Xuezhu became more interested in the construction work in Cao Shujie's workshop.
Instead of letting Cao Shujie go directly to find someone, he picked up his office phone and called the other party.
After talking for a few minutes, he told the other party that a man named Cao Shujie would come to see him later.
After grabbing the phone, Lian Xuezhu said to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, go to the county construction company to find Wang Jianhua. When you go there, tell him that I asked you to go, and he will make arrangements for you."
"Hey, uncle, I'm bothering you again this time." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
Lian Xuezhu waved his hand: "If it's no trouble, you can go over there. When your factory opens, let me know in advance and I'll go over and have a look."
"Okay." Cao Shujie said goodbye to Lian Xuezhu, and went to the county construction company to find this man named Wang Jianhua. He was also the general manager of the construction company. When he introduced him, Lian Xuezhu asked him to come, and he was very enthusiastic.
After seeing the drawings brought by Cao Shujie, Wang Jianhua bluntly said that this was not a big deal.
He asked Cao Shujie when the work would start and said he could arrange for someone to come there at any time.
Such a good relationship, Cao Shujie thought that Lian Xuezhu’s phone call was really useful.
He was not polite and told the other party that the sooner the construction could be completed, the better.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come to Qingshi Town to find you tomorrow. Is that no problem?" Wang Jianhua simply said.
If a junior official who is a senior official comes to ask him for help, Wang Jianhua will definitely not deny this favor.
Cao Shujie also thought about inviting Wang Jianhua to dinner in the evening, but Wang Jianhua refused.
Wang Jianhua told him that he had other arrangements. It was true that he couldn't do it today, but he could do it another day.
In this way, the relationship between the two became more harmonious.
Wang Jianhua could see that Cao Shujie was very smooth, and since Cao Shujie had money and background, Wang Jianhua also wanted to make friends with people like him.
For Cao Shujie, there is nothing wrong with hanging out in the local area and getting to know a few more people.
Don't think that the county is simple. The intricate relationships in it can make ordinary people confused and unable to figure it out.
While walking back from the county, Cao Shujie also received a call from his mother. Wang Yuelan asked him if he would go home for dinner.
Cao Shujie told his mother that he was already on his way back.
Wang Yuelan asked him to drive slowly and then hung up the phone.
When she returned home, the first thing her mother Wang Yuelan did was to ask Cao Shujie about his mother-in-law.
After learning that her arm was really broken and the reason, Wang Yuelan kept saying: "A person's age is useless. If you are not careful, you can easily get injured."
"Mom, don't think so. Didn't I get some velvet antler slices? You and my dad are fine, grind them up and soak them in water to drink. How about letting my dad and grandpa soak them in wine and drink them? It's very good for the body.
." Cao Shujie went to the storage room and pulled out the remaining antler pieces and handed them to his mother.
Wang Yuelan said: "This thing is so expensive, let's just eat a few more kilograms of meat."
"Mom, can this be the same?" Cao Shujie said.
Then Cao Shujie explained to his mother in detail how to prepare velvet antler slices and how to eat them?
I also told my mother about its efficacy.
At this time, Cao Shujie realized that such good things should not be sold. Was he short of the 100,000 yuan?
Before the new velvet antler slices were released, Cao Shujie did not plan to sell the two-crop antler slices, but kept them for his family to eat.
Wait until next year when the new velvet antler pieces come out, then sell the old ones. What a good idea!
…
His wife and daughter were not at home, and Cao Shujie suddenly felt very lonely when he went to bed at night.
The room is missing the laughter and laughter of my daughter, even his naughty voice.
Feeling that the pillow was empty, Cao Shujie sighed and forced himself to close his eyes.
The first thing Cao Shujie did when he woke up the next morning was to call his wife and ask how his mother-in-law was doing.
"It can't be that fast. Even if you eat velvet antler slices, you still have to wait for a while, but my brother and his wife are here to watch. I will go back in a few days." Cheng Xiaolin said this.
"Okay, drive slowly when you come back, don't be in a hurry." Cao Shujie told her.
He didn't even have any false politeness.
"Dad, do you miss me?" A cute voice suddenly came from the phone.
At this moment, Cao Shujie listened to her calling her daddy and responded repeatedly: "I wonder, daddy misses you."
