Chapter 154 Dog sledding, Mengmeng had a lot of fun (400.01 million
)
The seller lied with a few words and was eager to win a business and enter a new field, so he quoted a slightly higher price. However, when he sorted it out later, he discovered that the price he quoted was still very high, and the price he received was still very high.
Most of the scraps that come back are gold and jade on the outside and ruins on the inside.
In the end, he suffered a big loss, but even though he knew that the other party had lied to him, it was impossible to settle the score with him.
After all, he was selling by pile, and he was buying by pile. At that time, we signed a contract, and it was a voluntary transaction.
Unless he doesn't want to do it anymore, or he considers himself unlucky.
On this day, his father, Cao Jianlin, called the two brothers together to discuss sending grandpa back to Caojiazhuang. The two extended family members also followed him back to have a look.
According to my father's wishes, there is only one month left before the Spring Festival. I don't plan to go back during the Chinese New Year, so I can only go back in advance.
"I still don't understand. Shujie was doing a good job in the capital and making a lot of money every year. Why did he suddenly quit his job and go back to his hometown to plant orchards?" Cao Shubin, the boss, was puzzled.
The last time I had a video chat with his cousin, I was too busy reminiscing about old times that I didn't have time to ask him about this.
Cao Shuxin didn't understand even more. Anyway, he was not interested in returning to his hometown to farm, nor was he interested in making any money.
But he talked about the matter and said: "The kiwi fruit Shujie planted is really delicious. I don't know what kind it is. It tastes so fragrant and sweet. I have never bought it in the market."
Hearing what Cao Shuxin said, Cao Shubin, as the boss, also nodded and said: "It's true, your sister-in-law and nephew finished those two boxes in a few days."
The implication is that he himself has not eaten much, and he feels a little regretful!
Cao Shuxin also followed up and said: "Brother, I'm about the same. After it was fully ripened, the two of them finished it in less than a week."
Speaking of this, Cao Shuxin thought: "I don't know if Shujie still has any stock. If there is, I will just bring some back."
He thought that if his cousin had more in stock, he would bring back more to avoid running out of food or not having enough food.
When Cao Jianlin heard that the eldest and the second eldest brother were discussing about starting food again, he said, "You really don't understand. Just the few acres of land that our brother has. You don't have to think about it. He must have sold it out long ago."
After hearing what their father said, the brothers stopped arguing about the matter and made a new plan to go back next Saturday.
"Brother, let's leave early on Saturday. Don't drink at the second uncle's house at noon. Come back early in the afternoon after dinner, otherwise it will get dark early and it will be difficult to walk on the road." Cao Shuxin, the second eldest brother, said specifically.
The boss, Cao Shubin, nodded in agreement. He also meant the same thing.
This time I went back with my wife and children. My second uncle's house couldn't accommodate so many people.
They also have an old house in their hometown, but they have not been back for many years and no one lives in the house. The house has been in a state of decay for a few years. The wooden beams are broken into two sections and there is a hole in the roof.
Hearing that the two brothers were discussing housing again, Cao Jianlin interrupted them directly. He said: "You two don't need to discuss it anymore. Your second uncle called me and said that the two-story building your brother Shujie built at home is enough."
You guys stay.”
Hearing what their father said, the two brothers were stunned for a moment. They really didn't know about this.
"Dad, when did this happen?" Cao Shubin asked.
Cao Jianlin said: "From what your second uncle said, Shujie just built it after he returned home. I didn't plan to move there before the year, but I heard that you all are going back. Your brother moved there first at the end of last month. Then you guys
Live over there."
"Then we have to stay overnight." Cao Shubin said.
"We don't see you often, so you have to have a drink once you see her."
Cao Shuxin thought for a while and said: "Drowsy driving is irresponsible."
"Dad, let's come back in two days to pack up grandpa's things with you," said the boss, Cao Shubin.
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu lives with his father Cao Jianlin in a house alone. This is an old community and the house is not expensive. Their father contributed some money and the two brothers contributed a large part.
They both live in other communities and usually come here once a week or two to stay with their old father and grandfather.
They are all people with wives and children. They are indeed very busy and do not have that much time to come and accompany them.
Thinking that grandpa would be leaving soon, and recalling how little time they had spent with grandpa this year, I felt a little guilty.
But there is no way. Although they are doing well, they each have their own difficulties. They have not reached the level where they can leave whenever they want!
They just hope to work harder now, earn more money, and retire early in the future.
…
"Dad, are you okay?"
"Dad, hurry up."
"Hey, Dad, can you hurry up? I want to ride the sleigh."
Mengmeng stood watching and kept shouting, but Cao Shujie didn't feel annoyed at all. He smiled and said to Mengmeng: "It's almost gone. Just wait a little longer."
"Dad, can Daha and Erha run away with me?" Mengmeng was very doubtful.
"Yes, I definitely can!" Cao Shujie nodded confidently.
Cheng Xiaolin watched from the side as her husband spliced several boards together and fixed them with a long flat board. For fear that they would fall apart while running, he tied them again with wires.
The bottom is then fixed with a thin iron sheet, and a simple sled is completed.
After finishing his work, he felt warm all over and there was sweat on his forehead.
"Good luck!" Cao Shujie stood up, shook his arms and kicked his legs.
I have been squatting for too long, and the soles of my feet are still a little numb, and it hurts like pins and needles.
"Dad, are you okay?" Mengmeng looked up at her father, and then looked at the ugly sled on the ground with a smile. She didn't know what the sled looked like, but this was the first time she had seen this thing in front of her. It didn't matter whether it looked good or not.
, she is very rare.
Cao Shujie nodded: "It will be done soon. Just wait a little while, I will find some ropes to tie them up, and let Daha and Erha take us two for a run on the street."
"Okay, okay, dad, go quickly." Mengmeng jumped and shouted.
Cheng Xiaolin asked him worriedly: "Shujie, is the sled you made working? Why do I feel it's unreliable? You might as well just pull a big wooden board and run."
"It's okay, let's try again." Cao Shujie excitedly entered the house to look for a rope.
Twenty minutes later, at the door of their house, Cao Shujie tied four ropes to the front section of the sled, and finally tied them to the bushings of Daha and Erha.
Under Cheng Xiaolin's gaze, Cao Shujie took the lead and sat on the velvet mat of the 'sled'. He waved to Mengmeng next to him: "Mengmeng, come up quickly, let's go for a ride."
"Dad, wait for me." When Mengmeng heard that her father was leaving, she became anxious and took a step forward.
Cheng Xiaolin watched the sled push down the snow by 3 centimeters. She was very worried: "Shujie, you weigh over 170 pounds and Mengmeng weighs over 30 pounds. You two are sitting on it. Daha and Erha can pull it."
?"
"How will you know if you don't try." Cao Shujie yelled. He put Mengmeng in front of him and hugged him. Then he put the quilt he had prepared in advance on Mengmeng and also covered his legs. The original version of the shield
The wind is blowing.
After taking these precautions, Cao Shujie asked his wife: "Wife, are you coming up?"
"I'd better forget it. Why do I feel like you can't run like this?" Cheng Xiaolin took another look at the 'sled', and it became more and more unreliable.
Hearing that his wife still didn't believe in his skills, Cao Shujie didn't bother to care about her. He grabbed Daha and Erha's dog leashes and shook them hard, in a horse-riding manner: "Daha, Erha, drive!
"
Mengmeng also followed suit and shouted: "Daha, Erha, drive."
The childish voice echoed in the north end of Caojiazhuang. Daha and Erha both raised their heads and howled, as if they were gathering strength.
The next moment, Daha and Erha exerted force almost at the same time, and their bodies suddenly jumped forward, but the scene did not stop abruptly.
When the two huskies who were less than two months old were put on the ropes for pulling the sled, the genes hidden in their bodies were unlocked and suddenly burst out with amazing power. In addition, Cao Shujie had done the treatment on the bottom, and the
The upturned iron plates on both sides reduce the friction between the wood and the snow and make it easier for it to slide on the snow.
After they actually started running, the endurance and strength of the two dogs were amazing. Even if Cao Shujie sat on them, they would not show any weight.
The inferior 'sled' he made himself was being pulled by Big Ha and Er Ha. Not only did it fly, it also ran extremely fast.
The snowflakes on the ground were flying backwards as the two dogs ran back. A lot of snow fell on the sled, but it was perfectly blocked by the 'wind shield' prepared by Cao Shujie in advance.
"Wow, Dad, it's fun, it's so fast!" Mengmeng shouted on the sled. She thought this was so interesting.
Cao Shujie was also happy when he saw his daughter having fun.
And he also sat on the sled and enjoyed it. Watching Daha and Erha running hard in front, he felt comfortable.
"Big ha, Er ha, faster." Cao Shujie shouted loudly.
It had just snowed, and the streets had not yet been cleared of snow. At this time, no one in Caojiazhuang was foolish enough to drive out, so the snowy road still maintained its original ecology.
This time, Cao Shujie got his wish, and the two dogs ran west for a while, and then ran south again under Cao Shujie's command.
From the north end of Caojiazhuang, we ran along the main road to the south end, then found a spacious place and then turned around and headed back.
Daha and Erha didn't feel tired at all. Cao Shujie was still thinking: "You two are real dogs!"
"My baby, let's run!"
Cao Shujie seemed to be reciting a magic spell.
Some folks in Caojiazhuang have just come out to sweep the snow in front of their door to make it easier to get in and out.
They were working when they suddenly saw a scene of a dog pulling a wooden plank. They looked at Cao Shujie and Mengmeng's father and daughter sitting on the wooden plank having fun, and then listened to Mengmeng's shouts and screams. The people they saw
They all laughed kindly.
"That's Shujie, he's really good at playing."
"That's right." Gao Long looked at Cao Shujie's retreating back and said, "You still have to make money, otherwise you won't even be able to raise a dog."
"Oh, Gao Long is right. Look at Shujie's four dogs. They are all so big, but they eat no less than four adults."
"He has five. I saw his daughter holding a small white pug that day. It was not big." Sun Caifeng, who had just come out, said.
When Gao Long saw her coming out, he immediately called "sister-in-law".
"Sister-in-law, Brother Qiang is not at home?" Gao Long asked.
When talking about her man's superiority, Sun Caifeng became very angry: "That lazy bear of his went to bed to read a novel after lunch. I really want to hit him to death with a shovel."
"Sister-in-law, you can't help it. It's snowing and you can't do anything. What else can you do if you don't take a break?" Gao Long quickly explained after hearing this.
They were neighbors, and he often heard Gao Qiang and Sun Caifeng quarreling at home, and sometimes the couple even practiced practicing.
Sun Caifeng looked unlucky: "I am blind if I marry this lazy bear."
"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. When the weather is nice, my brother Qiang will make a lot of money when he goes out." After Gao Long cleared the snow at the gate, they started chatting.
…
There were also children in Caojiazhuang who saw the sleigh whizzing by. When they saw Mengmeng sitting on the sleigh, their eyes turned red with envy.
But they also know that it is useless even if they go home and cry to their parents, there is no dog at home.
There are some families who raise dogs, but most of them are small dogs, and occasionally there are a few large dogs that can't play like this.
"Dad, hurry up and pick up mom." Mengmeng shouted.
She was a filial daughter. Halfway through the journey, she suddenly remembered that her mother had not ridden the sleigh before, so she shouted to her father to go back and pick up her mother, so they could ride the sleigh together.
As for the other children, forget it, Mengmeng didn’t think about it.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Okay, Mengmeng, sit down."
After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie swung the dog leash, and the two dogs accelerated and ran forward.
"Good guys, this is not your fastest speed." Cao Shujie was greatly surprised. He never expected that the dragging ability of these two huskies was so amazing.
How heavy can they pull?
Cao Shujie really didn't know about some unpopular knowledge. He thought he would check it out after he got home.
A few minutes later, Cao Shujie ran to the door of his house. He saw his wife sweeping away the snow at the door. Mengmeng shouted: "Mom, mom, come on, it's so fun."
"You guys can play, I have to work." Cheng Xiaolin waved the broom in her hand and swept out the door first before talking.
"Big ha, two ha, stop, stop!" Cao Shujie shouted several times, and then the two dogs stopped, and the 'sled' slid forward two meters due to inertia.
The two dogs nimbly dodge once and for all, nothing happened.
"Mom, come up quickly." Mengmeng shouted twice more.
Cao Shujie got off the sled and said to his wife: "Here, I tried it. The quality of this sled is excellent and there is no problem at all. You can take Mengmeng to play for a while and have a feel for it."
"Pull them down, I can't control them both." Cheng Xiaolin didn't dare to play like this.
To be honest, she still didn't trust these two huskies, they didn't listen to her at all.
Ungrateful bitch!
What's more, if she was asked to operate it by herself, she wouldn't be able to do it.
Cao Shujie could tell from the look in his wife's eyes that she still wanted to give it a try. She was indeed a little worried, so he smiled and said, "You go up, I'll take the dog and take you two for a walk on the dam."
"Is it possible, can they drag the sled up to the dam?" Cheng Xiaolin was very doubtful.
But Cao Shujie said firmly: "There is no problem at all. Why do you girls always doubt me? Just come up."
