Chapter 11 Mengmeng, the Unlucky Child

 "How is that possible? How much money can you make like that?" Cao Shujie shook his head.

Cheng Xiaolin was a little curious: "Then what are you going to do?"

Cao Shujie smiled: "Of course I will find a way to increase the unit price."

He said confidently: "Honey, have you ever heard of a saying, don't worry about selling good things!"

Cheng Xiaolin looked up from the foot of the mountain and her eyes fell on the fruit trees. She didn't see any difference between these fruit trees at all, so she shook her head: "I really don't see what's so good about them?"

"Okay, I'm going to sprinkle the water." Cao Shujie knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless. He might as well speak with the facts.

He poured a measuring cup of the yellow semi-finished nutrient solution he prepared yesterday into the medicine bucket. After thinking that this amount was enough, he began to put water into the medicine bucket to dilute the nutrient solution.

After finishing his work, Cao Shujie locked the remaining nutrient solution directly in the tool box under the seat of the electric tricycle, and said to his wife: "You can just sit and play with Mengmeng in the car, and you can go for a stroll in the mountains.

You can just go shopping. When I'm done, I'll take you to the river to catch fish."

"Well, let's just take a look around here. Let me know when you're tired later." Cheng Xiaolin was also ready to work.

Cao Shujie nodded with a smile and walked along the path up the mountain. Every tree would be sprayed with diluted nutrient solution.

This thing is not a panacea, and you won’t see any effect just after you spray it, but according to Cao Shujie’s experience, it will definitely be effective after two or three days. Just come over and have a look in the next two days and observe it at any time.

After spraying a bucket of water, Cao Shujie was a little tired. Then he looked at how many fruit trees there were and the huge mountains. He was thinking about how to solve this problem in the future.

Whether it is laying water pipes for sprinkler irrigation, using drones to sprinkle water, or simply hiring people to help him sprinkle water, after he becomes regular, he will no longer do it himself.

"Husband, how are you? I'll help you fight for a while." Cheng Xiaolin shouted at the foot of the mountain.

She had been looking at the flowers and plants nearby with her daughter. She also went to the mountains to have a look and found a little gray rabbit.

Mengmeng wanted to chase it away at that time, but let alone her, even Cheng Xiaolin couldn't outrun the rabbit on the mountain, and finally watched the little gray rabbit run away.

Mengmeng became furious and shouted for her father to help her catch that nasty rabbit!

In a word, the rabbit she cherishes so cutely, catching it is also to give the rabbit face.

Cao Shujie didn't know what his daughter was thinking. He came down from the mountain, filled the trees with water again, added a measuring cup of nutrient solution, and continued to sprinkle water on the remaining fruit trees.

Regarding his wife's idea of ​​helping, Cao Shujie still refused. This job is really tiring: "Wife, just watch Mengmeng. I'll move faster and try to finish it in the morning."

"Dad, little Tutu." Mengmeng said suddenly.

Cao Shujie didn't understand what he meant. His wife said: "When we went up the mountain just now, we met a little gray rabbit. Mengmeng wanted to catch it and take it home to raise and play with."

After hearing this, Cao Shujie pretended to be surprised: "Mengmeng, is it true? Did you just see the cute little rabbit?"

"Yes!" Mengmeng nodded seriously.

Cao Shujie then said: "Okay, how about you wait until dad is done with his work, and we will go home and get tools to catch rabbits for you to play with?"

"Okay!" Mengmeng urged: "Dad, hurry up!"

"Okay, just wait." Cao Shujie was also very motivated and went to work quickly.

After spraying 5 buckets of water back and forth, the work was finally done.

The whole morning passed quietly. Not to mention Cao Shujie, even Cheng Xiaolin and Mengmeng were so hungry that they wanted to go home early.

Cheng Xiaolin watched her husband bend down and hold the electric car to breathe, and teased him: "Husband, your body is not good, you need to exercise more."

Cao Shujie looked around and saw no one else. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait, I'll let you know if I can do it tonight."

"Bah, Mengmeng is still here, talking nonsense." Cheng Xiaolin said to him.

Mengmeng heard the familiar words and repeated them: "Nonsense."

"You are just a repeater, and you follow everything." Cheng Xiaolin stretched out a finger and tapped her daughter's forehead.

Mengmeng was quite happy. She laughed for a while, pouted her mouth, spat and repeated: "Paging reader."

He spoke too fast and some words were still unclear.

Cao Shujie looked at the noisy couple. He put the bucket in the truck bed and washed his face with the remaining water. He immediately felt much refreshed.

Seeing that there was still half a bottle of nutrient solution left, he locked it in the tool box again. This was a good thing.

He was going to find a place to grow some vegetables and use all the nutrient solution. Vegetables grown with pesticides and fertilizers would no longer be edible.

"Honey, get in the car and let's go!" Cao Shujie was already sitting on the electric tricycle.

After his wife got into the car with Mengmeng in her arms, Cao Shujie drove directly towards home.

Mengmeng was blowing the spring breeze and smiling happily.

She was like a dancing butterfly, twisting back and forth in her mother's arms, and thinking about leaning out, she shouted "Ula, Ula" from her mouth, which was very interesting.

"Shujie, you're back." A fellow villager greeted him on the road.

Cao Shujie slowed down, and when he saw that it was his uncle Cao Jianliang who was not out of the fifth service, he shouted: "Uncle Liang, I just came back from going to the mountain to apply medicine to the fruit trees, what are you doing?"

"There is nothing to do at home, and your aunt gets upset when she sees me, so why not go out for a walk." Cao Jianliang complained.

Hearing what he said, Cheng Xiaolin smiled.

Cao Shujie teased him: "Uncle Liang, you have to behave well. Will everything be well with the family?"

"Only you can." Cao Jianliang pointed at him and asked, "Shujie, I heard that you have to spend more than 200,000 to build a house. Why do you spend so much?"

"It only cost over 80,000 yuan to renovate my house. Who did the work for you? Did they bully you because you don't understand and cheat you?"

"No, it was just built by my grandfather. I plan to build a small second floor, plus post-renovation, it will cost a lot." Cao Shujie said.

Hearing what he said, Cao Jianliang pointed at him and said: "Shujie, you still have the ability. Those snarky old ladies in our village said that you can't survive outside. I scolded them at that time. How awesome is our Shujie?"

Ah, I have been smart since I was a child. Let’s just talk about the car you drive. They don’t understand. They know how to beep when you open or close your mouth..."

If this continues, it will be over. Cheng Xiaolin reaches out and twists her daughter's butt. Mengmeng immediately screams in pain.

"Mom, you are bad..."

But she said she was in a hurry and didn't know. Cheng Xiaolin rushed to add: "What, you are hungry, oh, you are a little kid, you only know how to eat."

Cao Jianliang didn't think much about it. When he heard it, he hurriedly said: "Shujie, you have been busy all morning, but you can't starve the children. You should go home and eat quickly. Anyway, I heard that you won't go out either.

Let’s talk some other time when we are free.”

Cao Shujie did not doubt that he was there and said, "Uncle Liang, you are fine now, why don't you go to my house for a drink."

"Your family is busy today, so I won't cause trouble. Let's go to your dad for a drink some other time." Cao Jianliang said.

When Cao Shujie heard this, he left first.

After riding to the door of his house, Cao Shujie parked the electric tricycle and said to his wife: "You guys go home first and I'll pack up my things."

But Mengmeng refused to leave. She ran to her father and complained: "Dad, mommy hit me."

"Huh?" Cao Shujie was puzzled and asked her: "Why did mom beat you? Why didn't I see you?"

Mengmeng described what just happened while talking and gesticulating.

She also gestured to her mother's movements of twisting her butt. Others would have become more and more confused as they listened, but Cao Shujie understood what was going on and gave his wife a look: "Wife, you are really good at it."

Cheng Xiaolin refused to accept it and said: "It's already this hour, and you are still basking in the sun, making you sticky and sticky. Mengmeng has been hungry for a long time, so you have to watch the time when chatting."

"Well, you're right. Come in quickly. Let's have dinner and go up the mountain to catch rabbits in the afternoon." Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng's eyes widened when she heard what her father said. She couldn't wait any longer. She even hugged her belly and shouted, "Dad, I'm full."

"..." Cao Shujie was speechless!
