At the beginning of the next day, Cao Zhenggang, who was worried about having no work to do, took his eight people and took their tools to the mountainous area that Cao Shujie had newly rented. Based on his previous experience of installing barbed wire guardrails, he started digging holes along the edge of the contracted mountainous area.
After pouring the cement pier, we are waiting for Chen Xingquan to deliver the wire mesh guardrail, and we can start installing it at any time.
On the other side, Xia Changhong also brought people over to see the situation at the scene. According to Xia Changhong's suggestion, because the well Cao Shujie drilled before was not far from the newly leased mountainous area, the water could be transported by pipes.
No need to waste money on digging a new well.
In addition, Chen Lei also brought people over with equipment and pipe fittings, and began to install water pumps and pressurizers, fertilizer irrigation, filters, control and measurement instruments, regulating equipment and branch pipes on the basis of the original sprinkler irrigation pipelines.
Drip irrigation connector.
According to what Chen Lei told Cao Shujie alone, this set of equipment is now semi-automatic. They are developing full temperature sensing automation equipment. When they develop it, Cao Shujie can partially update the equipment if he needs it, and it won't cost much.
Not to mention, Cao Shujie is really interested in the fully automated equipment that Chen Lei mentioned.
When I am busy, I feel that time flies by so quickly. It seems like a week has passed in the blink of an eye, and there are only 3 days left before the National Day.
Some of the 47 people working for Cao Shujie gradually quit to harvest corn in their own fields.
Cao Shujie knew this well. Seeing that almost half of the newly contracted mountain land had been sorted out, although he was also very anxious to finish the rest quickly, there was no other way. For ordinary people, no matter how much they could earn outside,
No matter how much money you have, the food from the few acres of your own land is more important.
Fortunately, the construction progress in other aspects has not been delayed, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Before the construction of the newly contracted mountainous area was completed, it took two months. The house at the foot of the mountain was decorated first.
Cao Tiemin specially called Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin to the house and asked them to fully inspect and accept it.
At this time, Cao Shujie did not take the acceptance inspection seriously just because he was the one to renovate the house. Instead, he looked at it more carefully to avoid problems in the future. If the two parties procrastinated, it would be difficult to deal with it, which would hurt everyone's feelings even more.
.
The couple spent more than half an hour reading it, and finally found a few problems, but they were all minor matters. After telling Cao Tiemin, he immediately arranged for someone to fix them.
"Tiemin, how much is the total? I'll transfer it to you." Cao Shujie asked him.
There are no outsiders, and because of this, it is even harder for Cao Shujie to hold back.
Cao Tiemin took out the list he had prepared in advance and handed it to Cao Shujie: "This is the list of all materials. Including labor costs, the total is 183,625.82 yuan. You can give me 183,000."
Cao Shujie was not pretentious. He took Cao Tiemin home with him, logged into CCB's online banking using his laptop, and transferred 183,000 to Cao Tiemin using U-Shield.
As a result, Cao Shujie and his wife only have a little more than 820,000 yuan left. If there is no loan, he will be slightly better off than Cao Jianhua, but at most it will only extend the time, and there will be no essential change.
"We must hurry up and plant some products to increase income during the season." Cao Shujie thought in his mind that recycling the money in advance is the best way.
But that was a matter for the future. Cao Shujie turned to Cao Tiemin and said, "Tiemin, I will set up a few tables at the Fuxing Hotel in the town at noon tomorrow. You can come over and have some fun."
"We are brothers, why should we be so polite?" Cao Tiemin wanted to refuse at that time.
But Cao Shujie said: "These are two different things. After working for so long, I finally finished the house. Let's all join in the fun."
He said: "When the time comes, I will call Cao Zhen and the others..."
"Okay, Fuxing Hotel, right? I'll definitely go there at noon tomorrow." Cao Tiemin agreed.
After Cao Shujie finished speaking to Cao Tiemin, he called Cao Jiangang, Cao Zhengyin and other people from the village committee and invited them to come together.
I also called Chen Xingquan, Xia Changhong, Tian Xinhua and others and invited them to come with me.
Finally, I called Cao Zhen, Cao Fei, Cao Shuyang, and Cao Shulun and told them to get together tomorrow night.
Pingyuan County is only a 20-minute drive from Qingshi Town. Cao Shujie's consideration was to let them come over after get off work in the evening to join in the fun.
Several people are very positive about this matter.
At this time, I heard that her son's house had been renovated, and Wang Yuelan had to come and take a look at it no matter what.
Cheng Xiaolin accompanied her, while Mengmeng ran around beside her. No matter how much the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law yelled at her, it was of no use. Mengmeng still went her own way, immersed in her own world.
Cheng Xiaolin shouted several times and saw that Mengmeng was still playing with her and was not obedient at all. When Mengmeng ran past her, she directly reached out and grabbed Mengmeng's clothes and slapped her twice on the butt.
The force of these two slaps was quite strong, but Mengmeng just refused to cry.
She kept staring at her mother. Just when Cheng Xiaolin thought that her daughter was up to something, Mengmeng suddenly lay limply on the ground as if she had no bones in her body. Cheng Xiaolin reached out to grab her clothes and wanted to give her away.
Pulling it up, it's no use.
As soon as she picked her up, Mengmeng knelt on the ground with her legs, leaned back, and just pursed her lips. She didn't cry, she was just being silly!
Just when Wang Yuelan wanted to say a few words, Cheng Xiaolin immediately said: "Mom, just leave her alone. If you don't punish her, you don't know how many pounds you have."
When Mengmeng heard what her mother said, she knew that she had offended her too much this time. She was so frightened that she stood up and ran away. Unfortunately, Cheng Xiaolin was still holding the clothes in her hands. With her little strength, she could run nowhere.
"Pop!"
Two hard slaps were struck, followed by a loud cry of "Wow". Mengmeng really cried this time, and she cried very miserably.
Keren is also honest.
Blinking her little eyes, she followed her mother while crying. Whenever Cheng Xiaolin walked faster, she would cry for a while before chasing her up.
Cheng Xiaolin also said to her: "Mengmeng, if you had been obedient just now, there would be no need to beat you. Please tell me why you had to be beaten to be obedient."
Wang Yuelan also wanted to say a few words about her granddaughter. Isn't she just a typical person looking for a beating when nothing happens?
After Mengmeng calmed down, Wang Yuelan and her daughter-in-law Cheng Xiaolin looked over it together. Wang Yuelan looked at the small second floor that was similar to the building after decoration, and she couldn't say anything critical at all.
She asked her daughter-in-law: "Linlin, have you bought the furniture and appliances?"
"Part of the furniture has been ordered, and the rest can be bought slowly." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"As for home appliances, Shujie and I have discussed it. We plan to wait until the National Day to hold activities before going shopping in the county town. We can get a lot cheaper by then."
"Is the money enough? I'll give you some more." Wang Yuelan asked subconsciously.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was rejected by Cheng Xiaolin: "Mom, we have enough money, so don't worry."
"Is it really enough? Shujie's expenses for renting more than 100 acres of land this time are so high." Wang Yuelan was not ignorant.
But Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "Mom, we divided our money and loan into two parts. The expenses on the mountain part are all from the loan. Just don't worry about this."
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Wang Yuelan stopped worrying about the matter.
The next morning, Cao Shujie took some melon seeds, fruits, cigarettes, candies and water and went to his new home to wait.
What he didn't expect was that the first ones to come were Xia Changhong and Chen Xingquan from Pingyuan County.
After following Cao Shujie in, Chen Xingquan, who had passed by this small two-story house several times, realized that this small country villa actually belonged to Cao Shujie.
"Boss Cao, you really hid it from me." Chen Xingquan said.
Cao Shujie laughed and handed him a bottle of mineral water. The house had just been renovated and the smell was not very good. After looking at it in the house, several people went outside.
What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that Cao Zhen and the others had clearly agreed to come over in the evening, but who knew they would come in the morning.
"Why are you here now? You all asked for leave?" Cao Shujie asked them.
Then I heard Cao Zhen say: "It's such a big thing for you to finish renovating your house, can we not come?"
"Besides, it's just a matter of asking for leave. What a big deal." Cao Zhen said this.
Cao Shuyang and the others also nodded.
Cao Shulun said: "Shujie, don't think too much, I'm asking for annual leave, no money will be deducted anyway, it can be taken anytime."
Several other people also had various opinions. Cao Shujie was very moved in his heart but did not say anything out loud.
He said: "Since we are not rushing to work, let's have a drink at noon today."
"You are about to move to a new house. It is such a big happy event, so you must have a drink to celebrate." Cao Fei said.
After Cao Jiangang and others from the village committee arrived, Cao Shujie directly called the owner of the Fuxing Hotel in the town, and the hotel arranged for someone to drive a minibus to pick them up.
At noon that day, Cao Shujie did nothing else but drank and chatted with the people present.
In his opinion, anyone who comes over after telling others is giving him face, and this must be respected.
Cao Jiangang still yelled: "Shujie, it's been half a year since you first asked for a treat, and I finally drank this glass of wine."
It seems like a complaint, but many people are still envious.
At least Cao Jiangang's tone really didn't treat Cao Shujie as an outsider.
Chen Xingquan, Xia Changhong, Tian Xinhua, Cao Zhenggang and others who worked for Cao Shujie all had a drink with Cao Shujie.
Several people are still working for Cao Shujie. Because of this, they are increasingly aware that Cao Shujie is not simple, and they all want to further maintain a good relationship with Cao Shujie.
It's all money.
After Cao Shujie walked around, he found himself at the elders' table, accompanied by his father, Cao Jianguo. Cao Shujie returned to Cao Zhen's table, and the brothers would brag when they had nothing to do.
But when it comes to Cao Shujie, they all admire him.
After Cao Shujie returned from the capital, his development was witnessed by everyone, and because of this they knew better that Cao Shujie's journey was not easy.
It seems that Cao Shujie's future is limitless, but none of Cao Zhen and the others want to copy Cao Shujie's path.
Cao Zhen also reminded him specifically: "Shujie, please take some time to go to the county when you are not busy. I will accompany you to the Agriculture Bureau and Forestry Bureau to get back the subsidies you deserve."
"When the apples in my orchard are ripe, I will give you a share." Cao Shujie said.
Unlike selling kiwis, there are not many people picking apples in the orchards.
Cao Shujie didn't expect to sell the apples at the high price of high-quality kiwis. Naturally, he was thinking about how to maximize the utilization value of this batch of apples.
From two acres of land, you can harvest up to 10,000 jins of apples, which can be sold at the market for only three or four yuan per jin.
"Is it delicious? Is it still as delicious as the kiwi fruit you grow?" Cao Shulun asked.
Cao Shujie said with a smile: "It's hard to say, but I can tell you that my apples are indeed more delicious than most apples sold on the market."
Before Cao Tiemin waited for the apples to be completely ripe, he went to the orchard to pick apples and taste them, and found that the apples that were not yet ripe had a very good taste.
"How delicious would the apples be if they were ripe?" Cao Tiemin thought to himself and muttered it.
Who knew that Cao Shujie would say: "It's really hard to say this."
But as a result, several people began to look forward to it, and they all said that they would come and get the apples themselves when they were ripe.
