"Mengmeng, when I woke up in the morning and saw you still sleeping, I couldn't bear to disturb your sweet dreams." Cao Shujie defended himself.
But today’s children are really hard to fool despite their young age.
Mengmeng covered her ears with her hands, shook her head and shouted loudly: "Don't listen, I don't listen, I just don't listen."
As she spoke, Mengmeng shed two tears of grievance on her face.
She has perfected her ability to cry whenever she wants, and is unmatched by anyone.
At least Cao Shujie couldn't resist it.
When he saw his daughter crying, he panicked and said, "Oh, Mengmeng, don't cry. Dad is wrong, okay? Dad will take you out for a walk now."
"Okay!" Mengmeng immediately burst into laughter.
Cao Shujie was a little numb, and when he looked carefully at his daughter's face, except for the two lines of tears just now, her eyes and the expression on her face were all smiles, as if she had never cried at all.
"Just lie to dad." Cao Shujie looked at his daughter angrily, helpless.
But Mengmeng didn't care about this. She held the fence of the small trailer with one hand and raised her legs as if to step in.
But the fence was higher than her, and she couldn't get over it even if she tried to raise her legs. Mengmeng became anxious and said, "Dad, please give me a hug."
"Mengmeng, can we go out after breakfast?" Cao Shujie asked.
Mengmeng shook her head like a rattle: "No, no!"
She didn't care about this. She felt that this matter was non-negotiable and her father had to take her out for a couple of walks first.
Cao Shujie was helpless, so he put ring bushings on Daha and Erha, and tied the two German Shepherds at home. Then he took Daha and Erha and pulled the small trailer out.
Mengmeng just bought a new car, and it looks very beautiful.
There is also a row of buttons on the small trailer that can play music and tell stories.
Daha and Erha were walking on the street with a small trailer. Mengmeng raised her hand and slapped the button. The music of "Jingle Bells" sounded so loud that everyone chatting on the street subconsciously
He turned his head and looked towards her.
When they saw the scene of the dog pulling the trailer, they couldn't help but laugh.
When they saw Mengmeng sitting in the small trailer, many people had smiles on their faces.
Someone greeted her: "Mengmeng, are you out for a ride again?"
"Grandma, come out and play!" Mengmeng nodded heavily.
Another person said: "Oh, Mengmeng, is this the car you just bought? It's so beautiful."
For a while, the onlookers couldn't figure out who bought it.
Cao Shujie looked at these elders, greeted each of them, and said a few words.
Before we could continue walking, Peking Opera started playing on the loudspeaker.
Several people who were chatting subconsciously looked at Cao Shujie and found that he was still around. Cao Juan said doubtfully: "Shujie is here, so who is it today? Is it the old Bangchui?"
"Juan, don't talk nonsense! Don't you want to talk nonsense? Are you a bandit?"
In the area near Cao Shujie's house, there are only a few people who can usually get together to chat. Occasionally, someone joins in, but it doesn't last long.
Cao Juan shouted: "I'm afraid he's a bad old man!"
Cao Shujie listened to these aunts and aunts chatting, and became happy.
The Peking Opera was over, and then Cao Jiangang's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Dear young and old men of Caojiazhuang, please pay attention. Next, I will say a very important thing..."
The opening remarks have remained unchanged for decades. It seems that this has been said since the last village party secretary.
Cao Juan and Li Xiumei didn't pay attention to what Cao Jiangang said, and they were still talking about their own affairs. But while they were chatting, they suddenly heard a loudspeaker shouting, "Everyone is here for a meeting today. Let's vote together on Cao Shujie's contracting of the mountainous area."
, Cao Juan and the others stopped talking for a moment, and turned to look at Cao Shujie one by one, with their eyes seeming to say: "Why do you have so many things!"
"Auntie, I just contracted the mountainous land next to my orchard, and I plan to put the chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep there." Cao Shujie said.
When Gao Fengting and Li Xiumei heard what Cao Shujie said, they didn't know what to say.
Just when I thought Cao Shujie had calmed down, who knew he would make a big fuss again.
Cao Juan still had one thing on her mind and asked him: "Shujie, tell me, why are you planting so many flowers on the mountain?"
"Girl, it will look beautiful when it blooms!" Cao Shujie said casually.
He said: "This year is in vain. When spring comes next year, the mountains will be full of beautiful flowers. You can go and see them at will. I believe it will be beautiful then."
"You spend tens of thousands of dollars growing flowers just for the sake of beautiful flowers?" Gao Fengting didn't believe it.
Cao Shujie stretched out two fingers: "It only cost more than 20,000 yuan in total. It was not a lot of money. I mainly bought flower seedlings. They cost one or two yuan a plant. They are all worthless things."
When they heard what Cao Shujie said, they couldn't answer the question at all. They always felt that Cao Shujie's thoughts were not on the same level as theirs.
Ma Wenqian, who had been silent, said: "Shujie, tell your sister-in-law how many acres of mountain land you have rented this time and how many cows you plan to raise?"
"Hey, it's not much. I just rented 100 acres of mountain land. I can't say how many cows I will raise. But I definitely can't do anything beyond my capabilities," Cao Shujie said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fengting nodded: "Shujie, you are right, you must not show off."
She said: "Look at Cao Jianhua, how capable he is. He didn't even know what he was capable of. He started to build such a big place. Now it's better. I heard that he has spent almost all his family's money, and he still only pays for it every three days."
He is very capable when he quarreled with his wife and asked for money."
"That's right, I've heard that too. I heard that he also asked someone about the loan. If he asked me to ask for a loan, don't borrow it. It will be even more uncomfortable if he doesn't pay back the money." Li Xiumei followed.
"Who says it's not the case? Whoever has the ability goes to the bank to borrow money? Isn't it a shame?" Cao Juan looked disdainful.
But Cao Shujie felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, and he also went to the bank to borrow money.
Cao Juan may have realized this, so she quickly added: "Shujie, you are different. I didn't say anything about you."
"Gu, it's okay!"
Before Cao Shujie finished speaking, Mengmeng, who was sitting in the small trailer, couldn't stand it anymore. She slammed the music button again, the music started, and she shouted: "Dad, let's go!"
"Okay, let's go, Mengmeng, let's leave now." Cao Shujie didn't stop this time, and continued to hold Daha and Erha, taking Mengmeng for a ride.
Several people looked at his back, and then looked at Mengmeng who was laughing and laughing in the small trailer, and they became even happier.
"You see, Jie is very capable. He is doing so well at home, but the one in our family is useless. He has a dull brain and no matter what he says, it won't work." Li Xiumei felt a little helpless when she thought of her son.
Cao Juan also shook her head: "Don't mention it anymore. If you mention it, you will get angry. Talk about something happy."
Gao Fengting said to them: "What are you talking about? Go home and tidy up quickly, and take the matzah to the meeting."
"Feng Ting is right, you have to support Shujie no matter what."
…
Let's say that Cao Shujie took Daha and Erha and drove Mengmeng back and forth on the village street in a small trailer twice. After Mengmeng caught her eyeballs, the two of them walked home.
"Dad, it's so fun." Mengmeng shouted from the small trailer.
Entering through the gate, Cao Shujie gave her a look: "Mengmeng, come down quickly. Dad has to have a meeting after lunch. Children can't have meetings."
"I don't believe it!" Mengmeng shook her head: "There are so many dolls."
When she came back just now, she saw many adults taking their babies to a meeting, and she wanted to join in the fun.
Cao Shujie scratched his head, why is his daughter different from other children?
Fortunately, when Cheng Xiaolin heard that her daughter insisted on joining in the fun, she said, "Mengmeng, dad has something important to do today. Mom will take you there later."
Mengmeng looked at her father, then at her mother, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
Cao Shujie had something to eat at home and then went out with the Mazha.
I met many people on the road and greeted him.
At this moment, Cao Shujie is no longer in the same state as when he returned to Caojiazhuang from the capital at the beginning of this year.
During that time, many people were full of doubts about Cao Shujie, suspecting that he couldn't survive outside, but that's not the case now.
In the past six months, Cao Shujie has used one incident after another to prove that he did not just "escape" from the capital and return to the countryside.
He once again proved the saying that "people with ability can rise anywhere."
Walking to the village committee compound, Cao Shujie saw at the door that at least a hundred people were already sitting inside.
As soon as he entered, many people stood up to greet him.
"Shujie, why are you contracting mountainous land again? The ones you contracted before are not enough?" The speaker was Cao Jianyou.
He has been working with Cao Zhenggang. He hasn't had much work recently, so Cao Jianyou rests at home.
Today, when I heard a loudspeaker calling for a meeting of the whole village to discuss the matter of "Cao Shujie contracting the mountainous land," Cao Jianyou's first reaction was that he had a job to do.
This thinking is really amazing.
Cao Shujie turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Uncle You, I'm going to hire him out to do breeding."
"Didn't you already set aside an area for breeding?" Cao Jianyou knew the situation on Cao Shujie's side relatively well.
But Cao Shujie shook his head: "It's not enough. Besides, it's inconvenient to mix planting and breeding together. It's better to separate them."
While Cao Shujie and Cao Jianyou were chatting, Cao Jianhua also came in from behind the crowd.
He didn't push forward.
In just two months, Cao Jianhua lost the high spirits he had when he first started planning to start breeding. The reality of the situation dealt him a heavy blow, causing his thinking to almost collapse.
Looking at Cao Shujie who was chatting with someone in front of him, Cao Jianhua wanted to call him over and chat with him again, but Cao Jianhua was too embarrassed to talk to Cao Shujie now.
He is now very hesitant to go to the rural commercial bank in the town to apply for a loan and buy piglets and feed.
Last night, Cao Jianhua seriously thought about his current situation and analyzed his pros and cons. Cao Jianhua realized that it was useless to be anxious, and he still had to calm down.
In his current situation, he has invested more than 300,000 yuan to get to this point. If he does not continue at this time, Cao Jianhua will definitely not be reconciled.
Even if he does other things in the future, he will be timid and hesitate to move forward.
Looking at Cao Shujie who was surrounded by a group of people in front of him, Cao Jianhua thought that he would talk to him again after the meeting when there were fewer people.
…
When Wang Yuelan came over with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, the discussion had already entered the countdown stage.
The village party secretary Cao Jiangang and the village director Gao Weimin both stood on the steps.
When the time came, as usual, Cao Jiangang, the village party secretary, took a black wired microphone and shouted twice to signal everyone present to quiet down.
He introduced in detail Cao Shujie's second contracting of mountainous land.
The contracting fee remains unchanged at 130 yuan per mu of land, the number of acres contracted is 117.5 acres, the general contracting period is the same as last time, still 30 years, and the contracting conditions remain unchanged.
According to this condition, the first phase of the 10-year general contracting fee totaled 159,904.96 yuan, almost 160,000 yuan, which was a full 60,000 yuan more than the first phase of the contracting fee when he first contracted the mountain.
"According to Cao Zhengyin's accounting calculations, the total general contracting costs for the past 30 years are 649,997.72 yuan, which should be paid in three installments. Everyone has no objection, right?"
When Cao Jiangang said this number, many villagers in Caojiazhuang were breathing heavily.
None of them expected that this contracting fee would be so high!
Immediately afterwards, many people were thinking about how to use this money?
It can’t just be like the first contract fee, which is just to top up the electricity bill and turn on the street lights, right?
They felt that if that were the case, it would be nonsense.
No one is stupid at heart!
But Cao Jiangang didn't want to discuss the use of money in front of so many people. He had been the village party secretary for so many years, and he knew very well that the more people there were, the less productive the discussion would be, and it might even cause unnecessary trouble.
Find a time after the meeting and invite people from the two village committees to discuss it privately.
After he introduced the main topic, he then entered the voting session.
There is no suspense in this aspect. Cao Shujie himself has been recognized by the villagers of Caojiazhuang.
Before the discussion was over, someone shouted loudly: "Shujie, do you still need people working there?"
Many people have been waiting for this, but most of them are too embarrassed to shout.
Cao Shujie didn't hear clearly who said this, but he said: "Yes, after the lease contract is completed, I will find someone to start work."
"First clean up that area, then dig a well, install barbed wire guardrails, harden part of the ground, build cow sheds and pig pens, and plant pasture. There is a lot of work to be done this time!" Cao Shujie said one by one.
.
Different from planting an orchard, this time the mountainous land was contracted for breeding. The mountainous land had to be cleared and then planted with pasture to feed the cattle and sheep.
Cao Jianhua, who was behind the crowd, heard what Cao Shujie said. He sighed and realized more and more that there was a huge gap between himself and Cao Shujie!
I had a little accident in the morning and I was busy all the time. As a result, I was in a bad mental state and it was very difficult to write!
Two updates today and tomorrow, take a break, and three updates on the 2nd.
