Chapter 183 The Most Conscientious Boss (5100 words) Good night
Not long after, Mengmeng looked at the can of juice in the small basin and couldn't help but want to drink it. She stretched out her hand and tried the bottle again. It was still cold. She turned around and asked Cao Shujie in aggrieved manner: "Dad, what's wrong?
Not warm yet?”
"It's almost ready. Mengmeng, please wait a moment. Let's change a basin of water later. It will heat up faster." Cao Shujie said seriously.
"Really!" Mengmeng's eyes never left the can of juice in the basin. She felt it was too slow.
Cao Shujie was talking to his daughter when his sister Cao Huifang came out from the kitchen carrying a plate.
He shouted to the father and daughter gathered around the table: "Brother, Mengmeng, you are ready to eat."
"Wow, it's time to eat, dad, hurry up." Mengmeng was very happy when her aunt said she wanted to eat.
In this case, she can drink juice.
Seeing that her father hadn't moved yet, Mengmeng urged her again. She pointed at the juice in the small basin and asked, "Dad, is the juice ready?"
"Let me see if you can take it easy." Cao Shujie said.
Mengmeng put her little hand on the edge of the table and said weakly: "Oh!"
Cao Huifang, who was standing next to her, saw her niece looking worried and helpless, and she felt like laughing inexplicably.
But there were still dishes in the kitchen, so she went to work again.
Cao Shujie watched his daughter purse her lips and look at the juice frequently. He stopped teasing Mengmeng and took out the can from the basin. It was still a little cold to the touch. He replaced it with a basin of hot water and scalded the juice.
He opened the ring and said to Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, go get a small bowl and I'll pour you some juice."
"Okay!" Mengmeng was happy this time. She turned around and ran towards the kitchen, shouting as she ran: "Mom, help me get a small bowl, I want to drink juice, thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile, took out a small stainless steel bowl from the cabinet and handed it to Mengmeng.
After a while, Mengmeng ran to the living room holding a small stainless steel bowl in both hands. She put the small bowl on the table and looked at Cao Shujie eagerly: "Dad, the bowl is here, pour it for me, thank you."
The "thank you" made Cao Shujie feel happy. He quickly poured half the bowl for his daughter and said, "Drink it. I'll pour it for you after you finish it."
"But we can't just have drinks, we have to eat later, you know." Cao Shujie looked at his daughter with a smile and said.
But it was no use. When he warned, Mengmeng had already picked up the small bowl, raised her little head and finished the drink.
The whole set of moves was very sneaky, as if she was afraid that her father would go against his promise and not let her drink juice.
After finishing the drink, she turned the bowl upside down and showed it to Cao Shujie: "Dad, look, the juice is gone!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she put the small stainless steel bowl on the table: "Dad, pour me a little more."
But when Cao Shujie saw that his daughter's bowl was empty so quickly, he said with a serious face, "Mengmeng, if you do this again, I won't pour you any juice."
But Mengmeng still looked at the juice bottle eagerly, not hearing what her father said at all.
"Dad, pour me some more." Mengmeng said in a consulting tone.
Cao Shujie shook his head: "Eat first, you can eat some food later and I will pour it for you."
When Mengmeng heard what her father said, her eyes fell on the plate on the table. When she saw it was a plate of vegetables, she shook her head and didn't want to eat it.
Cao Huifang happened to come out with two more plates of food.
One of the plates was braised pork, and the other was beef meatballs made by herself. Mengmeng pointed at the beef meatballs and said, "Dad, I'll eat that one."
"Okay!" Cao Shujie went to the kitchen to get a small bowl, put the meatballs into the bowl for his daughter, and watched her eat slowly. At this time, Cao Shujie always felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
"Mengmeng, you are so sensible!" he also said.
After Cheng Xiaolin and her mother-in-law Wang Yuelan finished cooking, they came out together with the remaining three plates of food. The family sat down around the dining table and chatted about things in the orchard on the mountain while eating.
Cao Jianguo also asked his son about the interview today.
Cao Shujie said: "Dad, Master Zhuang was introduced by Brother Chao. I had a brief chat with him in the morning. He is also a relatively honest type. If you work, you will accept it if someone directs you."
"Generally speaking, it's okay." Cao Shujie said.
He knows very well that no one is perfect, and everyone will always have some shortcomings of one kind or another.
When Cao Jianguo heard his son say this, he didn't ask any more questions.
After finishing the meal, Cao Shujie packed up the dishes and prepared to go up the mountain.
Cheng Xiaolin stopped him: "Shujie, I've bought all the glutinous rice balls. Why don't you take them up and share them?"
"I'm still thinking about dividing it up in two days before the Lantern Festival." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin reminded him: "What if in two days, Brother Chao and Master Zhu have finished buying glutinous rice balls?"
"That's right." Cao Shujie thought for a moment and had an idea in his mind.
Now that the temperature is low, even if there is no refrigerator on the mountain, you can hang it in a shady place outdoors without worrying about the glutinous rice balls melting.
He said: "You give me six bags, and I will give two bags to each of the three of them."
This means that the newly arrived Zhuang Xuesong also has a share.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't care about these things. She found three bags and put two bags of glutinous rice balls of different flavors in each bag. Then she returned to the living room and handed the three bags of glutinous rice balls to her husband Cao Shujie: "Here, take it up.
."
Not long after, Cao Shujie carried three handbags filled with glutinous rice balls and rode an electric car up the mountain.
At home, Cheng Xiaolin and her mother-in-law were discussing the groceries they were buying in the supermarket today. Wang Yuelan felt that the groceries were expensive again.
Cheng Xiaolin was a little disapproving. When she heard her mother-in-law say this, she said, "Mom, the New Year is not over yet. Is it normal for vegetable prices to be high now?"
"What's normal? It's not normal at all. I saw that the price of pork has indeed come down, but the price of vegetables is more expensive than the price of vegetables a year ago. This is not normal at all." Wang Yuelan didn't understand the truth, but she
Know the most basic principles.
"Money is too thin again," she said.
Cheng Xiaolin agrees with this point. In official terms, prices have risen again.
…
On the mountain, after Cao Shujie rode up on an electric car, he immediately called Cao Shuchao, Zhu Shengliang and the newly arrived Zhuang Xuesong into the hut.
Just when the three people were confused, Cao Shujie didn't say too much nonsense. He simply said to the three of them: "Brother Chao, Master Zhu, Master Zhuang, the Lantern Festival is coming soon, and I don't have much else to do here."
Things, it just so happened that my wife went to town to buy some more glutinous rice balls. Each of you two bags, take them home and let your family have a taste."
"There aren't many things, but it's also my intention." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Shuchao and Zhu Shengliang looked at the glutinous rice balls in the bag with smiles on their faces. They were not surprised at all that Cao Shujie did this.
But Zhuang Xuesong, who had just arrived today, was a little at a loss. He pointed back at himself and asked: "Boss Cao, I just arrived today, do you mean I have it too?"
Why doesn't he believe it so much?
But Cao Shujie explained to him seriously: "Yes, you have passed the interview, and now you are a long-term employee of our orchard."
Cao Shujie spoke louder and louder: "No matter how long you work, even if you work just for today, since we are here to give out benefits, you will get a share of this!"
Zhuang Xuesong has never heard of this argument. When he thinks about working for other people, who wouldn't want to find various excuses to shirk and give you less things? He has never heard of people rushing to give things to others.
.
At this time, Cao Shujie's behavior completely overturned Zhuang Xuesong's inner view of Cao Shujie.
He thought to himself: "When I get off work later, I'll find Xiaochao to find out more about Boss Cao."
But in fact, after what happened just now, Zhuang Xuesong's impression of Cao Shujie changed a lot. He felt that Cao Shujie's character should be fine.
…
When it was time to get off work, Zhu Shengliang stayed for today's night shift, and Zhuang Xuesong and Cao Shuchao came down from the orchard together.
At the west crossroads, when Cao Shuchao and Zhuang Xuesong were about to go home separately, Zhuang Xuesong saw Cao Shuchao about to leave, and Zhuang Xuesong quickly called him out: "Brother Cao, wait a minute."
"Brother Song, what's wrong?" Cao Shuchao wondered, what's the matter?
Then I heard Zhuang Xuesong ask him: "Brother Chao, to be honest, you have been working here the longest, what do you think of Boss Cao?"
"Brother Song, what do you mean?" Cao Shuchao didn't understand.
Zhuang Xuesong was not a eloquent person. He thought for a while and then said: "What do you think of Boss Cao?"
"Brother Song, let me tell you this." Cao Shuchao looked at him seriously and said, "I have been working with others since I was a teenager, and it has been almost 20 years now. I can honestly say that book
Jay is definitely the most conscientious boss I have ever encountered while working."
At this point, he picked up the bag containing glutinous rice balls and asked Zhuang Xuesong: "Brother Song, it's not that I'm looking for petty gains, but I just want to ask you, you have been working for so many years, and how many bosses have sent you things during holidays.
"
This sentence stopped Zhuang Xuesong.
Zhuang Xuesong could give the answer to a very simple matter without even thinking about it.
This is the first time he has received glutinous rice balls in all his years of working.
In the past, two places would give out a bucket of peanut oil during the Chinese New Year, but I only received it twice, and I haven’t received anything since.
Cao Shuchao continued: "Brother Song, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Our place may not look big, and we haven't been out of the countryside. But as long as you have been working for a long time, you will know that our place is really not much worse than working outside.
"
"What should I say?" Zhuang Xuesong was very angry.
Cao Shuchao thought for a while and said to Zhuang Xuesong: "Shujie should have told you, we pay wages at the end of every month. At the end of the month, in addition to normal wages, we also have bonuses based on individual performance.
?”
"Yes, he told me, but this is not something he can just say..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Shuchao: "Brother Song, if you think so, you are absolutely wrong!"
Cao Shuchao stretched out four fingers and said: "I started working with Shujie in October last year. In the past four months, I have received bonuses every month."
At this point, he paused and then said: "And during the Chinese New Year, Shujie also gave me a lot of things."
Zhuang Xuesong thought Cao Shujie was joking at that time, but he didn't expect it to be true.
When he still wanted to say something, Cao Shuchao had already gone home.
Zhuang Xuesong stood there and thought for a while, and finally walked home carrying two bags of glutinous rice balls.
On the way, he thought a lot.
Originally, I just thought about working with Cao Shujie temporarily, but what happened today made Zhuang Xuesong change his mind.
When Cao Shujie came down from the mountain, his wife had already prepared dinner and the whole family was waiting for him to eat.
…
The arrival of Zhuang Xuesong has greatly alleviated Cao Shujie's manpower shortage problem.
From this day on, Cao Shujie's orchard has been developing steadily at a pace every day.
Soon, the Lantern Festival passed, and Cao Shujie and his sister Cao Huifang took the bus back to Yiling City to continue school.
Before leaving, Cao Huifang also said that when the strawberries are ripe, Cao Shujie must call and let her know.
Cao Shujie agreed wholeheartedly.
After sending his sister away, the house instantly became much quieter.
But after Cao Huifang left, another problem came to light.
No one in the family can subdue Mengmeng, even if Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin really hit her, Mengmeng will not listen to them at all.
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were so angry that they wanted to beat her up many times to make Mengmeng remember it, but who knew that this little guy would run towards Mengmeng and run towards Cao Zhenghu, shouting that the old man should make the decision for her.
She discovered a little secret. When her parents threatened to beat her up, as long as she ran to her grandfather and hid, her parents would stop beating her. This little discovery made Mengmeng proud for a long time.
But Cao Zhenghu has lived a long time, and he has a clear mind. He turns a blind eye to naughty Mengmeng as long as he doesn't make a big mistake.
But he didn't let Mengmeng be naughty or mischievous. Sometimes, Cao Zhenghu would tell Mengmeng some simple truths.
He believes that Mengmeng may not understand it now, but as he grows older, he will eventually understand it one day.
Time continues to pass, and as the first month of the lunar month is coming to an end, the temperature begins to rise slowly. When the sun shines during the day, I feel warm and comfortable all over.
This morning, after Cao Shujie came back from walking his dog, he had some food at home and then took Dahei and Erhei to the mountains.
During the recent period, the 136 calves that were just delivered after the New Year were very happy to run around after they had eaten and drank enough and adapted to the sexual environment. However, this added a heavy workload to Cao Shujie and the others.
Cao Shujie has a total of 117 acres of land here, but there are too few calves. After Cao Shujie and the others discovered many times that they could not drive out the dogs, they had to consider external helpers.
The first helper that Cao Shujie thought of was the dog at home. He thought that the dog must be able to run so fast.
Cheng Xiaolin was cleaning up the housework at home, and Mengmeng sprinkled a bag of toys on the floor in the living room. She sat among the toys, playing with this one for a while, and looking at that one for a while.
When Cheng Xiaolin saw it, she told her: "Mengmeng, if you don't want to play anymore, put away all the toys, or I will throw them into the trash can for you later."
"Oh!" Mengmeng responded, not knowing that she really understood it from time to time, and then took a simulated excavator and started playing with it.
But within a few moments, the bucket of the excavator was broken off by her. Mengmeng looked at the bucket in her hand and looked a little confused. Then she looked at the bare rocker arm in front of the excavator. She wondered what was going on.
?
"Grandpa, look, it's broken." Mengmeng pouted and said aggrievedly.
Cao Zhenghu didn't know how to repair this thing. He saw his great-granddaughter wanted to cry, so he said to her: "Mengmeng, let's go, grandpa will take you to the village."
"Okay." Mengmeng was happy when she heard that she was going out to play.
But I didn't forget to sit up quickly and quickly put the toys into the plastic bag.
After she finished cleaning up, she dragged the plastic bag containing the toys into the utility room, and then ran out to Cao Zhenghu and said, "Grandpa, I've packed everything up."
"Isn't that right? Mengmeng is really a sensible and good child." Cao Zhenghu praised her.
Looking at the beautiful sun outside, Cao Zhenghu said again: "Then let's go and we'll be back later."
Mengmeng nodded: "Okay."
"Do you want to walk?" Mengmeng asked before going out.
Cao Zhenghu shook his head: "Let's ride a tricycle."
He has a very strong physique and does not look old when he walks. He does not look like he is over 80 years old at all.
Before going out, Mengmeng also knew to tell her mother: "Mom, I'm going out to play with grandpa."
"Mengmeng, where are you going with grandpa?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.
Mengmeng looked at her mother with a smile, she didn't know.
Cao Zhenghu said: "Linlin, I'll take Mengmeng to visit our old house and talk to some old guys."
"Okay, grandpa, please ride more slowly." Cheng Xiaolin warned him.
She wasn't worried that Cao Zhenghu couldn't ride an electric tricycle.
In fact, Cao Zhenghu's riding was quite stable, but he was not very fast.
Carrying Mengmeng into the car, Cao Zhenghu rode the electric tricycle, turned the third speed to the lowest gear, and the grandfather and grandson walked out slowly.
At this time, the sun was already hanging in the sky. The sunlight shone on my body, making me feel warm and I didn't feel cold at all.
Cao Zhenghu was not very fast on his bicycle. He took his great-granddaughter to the street. When he saw someone, he stopped the car and chatted with them.
At this time, Mengmeng will also be very sensible and call people in the car.
"Brother Hu, come to my house for a drink at noon." When Cao Zhenghu and Mengmeng rode past the village committee compound, several people from the village committee had just finished the working meeting on "Coping with the Economic Development of Agriculture, Rural Affairs and Economics" and were leaving the compound.
Go inside and out.
When they saw Cao Zhenghu, several people stopped him and greeted him.
Accountant Cao Zhengyin took the lead in calling him to go home for dinner.
But Cao Zhenghu refused. He looked at the people coming out of the courtyard, pointed at Mengmeng sitting in the carriage, and said, "Jiangang, Zhengyin, I'm taking Mengmeng out to play, and her mother is already here."
The family is cooking and we have to go back later."
"Uncle Hu, come to my place at noon. I'll call Shujie later and ask him to come with me." Cao Jiangang said with a small calculation in his mind.
But Cao Zhenghu still didn't go. He said, "I'll take Mengmeng for a walk."
After finishing speaking, Cao Zhenghu did not stay anymore and continued walking south.
He knows that these people have many evil ideas and doesn't really want to be plotted by them.
