Cao Shujie got up at around five o'clock in the morning.
Tian Xinhua just called him and told him that they would be at Caojiazhuang immediately. In addition, Tian Xinhua had already contacted him for gravel, sand and cement.
To put it simply, Tian Xinhua does all the work and materials, and Cao Shujie also has peace of mind.
Cao Shujie liked Tian Xinhua's refreshing drive from the bottom of his heart. He felt that the faster, the better.
Because this is private road construction and does not involve other issues, work starts as soon as it starts. There is no delay and deliberate extension of the construction period like administrative construction. In addition, the road built by Cao Shujie is not too long.
There is not a mile of land, and the construction time is not long.
According to Tian Xinhua's suggestion to Cao Shujie, the turning platform connecting the sloping mountain road and the downhill intersection in the orchard above was built in two steps so that equipment could be pulled up. Cao Shujie had no problem with this.
On the day of the start of construction, two sets of 10,000-head red paper firecrackers went off, and eight firecrackers were lit in sequence. The banging sound attracted many people in Caojiazhuang to come and watch the excitement.
This is the first privately built road in Caojiazhuang. Although the possibility of them using it is very small, it does not prevent these villagers from admiring Cao Shujie.
At this moment, no one said the stupid thing about 'Cao Shujie can't survive outside' anymore. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Cao Shujie is very powerful.
Some people were very angry and asked the road builders about the situation. They learned that it would cost almost 100,000 yuan to repair the road. Others were even more convinced.
Someone also calculated an account for Cao Shujie. He started contracting to plant fruit trees in this mountainous area, and the money he invested in it was almost even if it was less than 500,000.
When they think of this number, many people shut up and stop discussing it.
There is no point in saying more, they simply cannot be as devoted as Cao Shujie.
Some people say that if you include the money spent by Cao Shujie to build a house, he would have spent an estimated 700,000 to 800,000 yuan in the past few months since he came back from the capital!
A week later, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and it stopped raining after the last heavy rain. For Cao Shujie and Tian Xinhua, this was definitely good news.
During this week, the slope road up the mountain has been paved. Tian Xinhua arranged for people to lay plastic films. Next, it will take a week to slowly water and maintain. In Tian Xinhua’s words, this step is very important and determines the future.
The final quality of the road.
Cao Shujie also knew this, and he didn't pretend to understand.
Three days ago, after Cao Zhenggang finished the work there, he brought people to Cao Shujie's place to start working.
At the same time, Cao Shujie ordered a 500-meter wire protection fence from Chen Xingquan, the owner of ‘Chenzheng Protection Fence’.
However, because the road was being built so that no traffic could be driven on it, it was never sent up, and the installation of the barbed wire fence was delayed.
But it didn't delay Cao Zhenggang and the others going up the mountain to dig a hole and then pour the cement piers mixed by Tian Xinhua.
After repeated consideration, Cao Shujie set aside a corner and asked Cao Zhenggang and the others to build four rows of pig pens for 100 pigs.
After all, if there were too many pigs, the smell would be too great. Cao Shujie thought that he must find a way to solve this problem.
He held the idea of exploring experience first, and then solving any problems later.
I plan to raise more other cattle, sheep, and chickens.
"Well, if I set up a table on the mountain in the future and want to eat barbecue, I will just slaughter one. Will the cost be a bit high?" Cao Shujie had this idea in his mind.
But why does he feel that this free and easy life is so satisfying?
In the rush of work, the hot June seemed to have become much more refreshing. When the turning platform in the orchard was also maintained, and then looking back at the calendar, Cao Shujie realized that more than half of June had passed.
It has been more than three months since their family of three returned from Beijing.
During this period, Cao Shujie felt that his life was particularly fulfilling.
It's different from being busy all the time in the capital. In that state, the so-called KPI forces you to work forward. If you can't finish the work, you will feel anxious and feel that you have eaten one meal but not another.
It's different now. Even if he only makes a little progress every day, he feels very satisfied and has an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
After the road up the mountain and the turning platform in the orchard were repaired, Cao Shujie happily settled the bill with Tian Xinhua and paid the money directly to Tian Xinhua.
…
"Dad, let's go up the mountain!" Mengmeng saw her father coming out of the bedroom, and she ran over with "bang bang bang bang" stamping on the ground.
Unlike the previous dirt roads or uneven stone paths, after the road was built on the mountain, they can now ride their electric scooters directly to the orchards in one go. They no longer have to park their scooters at the foot of the mountain as before.
Walk up.
Mengmeng thought that all the fruit trees in the orchard were bearing fruit, and she began to think about secretly picking and eating the fruits when they grew bigger.
"hey-hey!"
Mengmeng quickly covered her mouth, secretly having fun by herself.
"Mengmeng, why are you laughing?" Cao Shujie looked at his daughter and felt a little confused.
But Mengmeng kept getting aggressive but refused to say anything.
Cheng Xiaolin finally put on sunscreen, put on sun-protective clothing, and put on a sun hat. When she saw the father and daughter coming together and whispering, she wondered: "What are you two talking about?"
"It's nothing, I'm just waiting for you bitch, hurry up and leave." Cao Shujie urged his wife.
Cheng Xiaolin lightly slapped him on the back: "You deserve a beating, right? I'll just put some sunscreen on you. It won't be too slow."
Cao Shujie was too lazy to discuss this issue with her.
He told his mother, got on the tricycle, and drove towards the mountain with his mother and daughter.
When passing by the house, they even came down to take a look.
Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband: "Husband, how long will it take to renovate this house?"
"It will take another month and a half. Tiemin said he would bring people here in August." Cao Shujie said to his wife.
The last time I went to the county forestry bureau to apply for a subsidy, I was drinking with a few friends in the evening. Cao Shujie asked Cao Tiemin to arrange a good life. Cao Tiemin would definitely not let him go.
After hearing what her husband said, Cheng Xiaolin said nothing else.
After coming out of the rough house, the couple sat on the tricycle again. Cao Shujie rode the tricycle, turned the switch to the maximum, and slowly climbed over the 400-meter slope to the platform on the mountain.
After parking the tricycle on the platform, Cheng Xiaolin hugged her daughter and got out of the tricycle. She looked at the foot of the mountain and still sighed: "It's still good like this!"
"No, it cost money." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin felt heartbroken when she thought of the nearly 100,000 she spent to build this road and the turning platform at her feet.
But when she thought of the 17,000 yuan forestry subsidy she had just received two days ago, Cheng Xiaolin was very happy.
She calculated that if she could receive it for six years, she would be able to make back the money spent on building the road.
She was a little greedy and said: "Husband, you said it would be great if you could pay us the 30-year rental subsidy in one lump sum, and then the rent will be paid directly."
"Honey, you weren't like this before, what's wrong now?" Cao Shujie teased her, causing Cheng Xiaolin to clench her fists and chase after him.
