Chapter 340 I’m not a good person, but this is where I grew up
(96008000)
Cheng Xiaolin didn't have so many ideas. She said, "If you can do it, do it. If you can't, do it. It's a big deal."
"Even if you return to the village, you can come back to them if you have any work in the future."
"Besides, after the corn is harvested at the end of the month, the village will soon plant kiwi fruit trees. Everyone will be busy by then, so there may not necessarily be so many people coming to work here," Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie gave his wife a thumbs up and said, "Wife, you are absolutely right."
While the couple was chatting in the small office, the people working outside were also chatting.
They were still talking about this job.
Cao Shujie just said that the 'Xuemeng Fruit Shop' will continue to be open and this job will continue. Some of them believe it unconditionally, but some are not that confident.
"I'm thinking that after the corn harvest is finished next month, I will plant all the 7 acres of land at home with kiwis. Then I will have to take care of the fruit trees in the garden, and I won't be able to come here." Someone said.
Her name is Song Huixia, she was married to Caojiazhuang, and she is now over 40.
Her husband drives a truck and the family has some money saved.
At the time when three economic development projects were launched in Caojiazhuang, Song Huixia and her husband Cao Jianchun discussed that after harvesting corn on their family's 7 acres of land, they would all plant kiwi fruit.
Their home is different from other homes in the village.
Other families may not have other income, but Cao Jianchun bought a truck to haul goods and can earn a lot of money a month. Based on this alone, his income is enough to support his family.
Regarding the fact that there was no production of kiwi fruit in the first three years, their family was not very worried.
Song Huixia has a different view on this job than others.
No, as soon as she finished speaking her thoughts, Cao Shuju next to her said in a sour tone: "Huixia, your family can make money in Jianchun, but your family's situation is different."
"You can go home and plant kiwi fruits with peace of mind, but I can't. I finally found such a job and the salary is stable. I still hope to work for a few more months, even if it lasts until this year." Cao Shuju said.
.
There is an old lady with all white hair in the narration. She put the kiwis into a box and said: "You are young, you can do whatever you want. I am an old woman. If I go to other people's places, they won't want me. I will go home and plant kiwis."
, and I don’t have the energy anymore.”
"Shuju and I have the same idea. We still hope that we can work here for a few more months." She said, "It's hard to say anything else. If we make more money, our family can at least have a good year this year."
"When my son, daughter-in-law and grandson come back from abroad, I can buy some clothes for my children," she said.
This is a heavy topic, and among the people present, there are quite a few who are in the same situation as the old lady.
Of course, I also have the same idea as Song Huixia.
This kind of thing is so normal.
…
In the office, Cao Shujie and his wife were talking, and suddenly Cao Shujie's cell phone rang.
"Who's calling at this time?" Cheng Xiaolin muttered.
Cao Shujie took the phone and looked at it. It was him who sent Xiao Cao Zhen's number.
"Cao Zhen, what's the matter?" Cao Shujie said.
The next moment, he answered the phone and heard Cao Zhen's voice coming from the phone: "Shujie, what are you busy with?"
"I'm busy in town, what about you?" Cao Shujie asked him.
"Shujie, I am planning to return to Caojiazhuang in the next two days. I will send your sister-in-law back to recuperate first. Are you free to pick us up at the provincial capital airport?" Cao Zhen asked directly.
Cao Shujie wondered: "Didn't you just go back in July? It's only been less than two months, why are you coming back again?"
"Are you two going to fly back and forth for fun?" Cao Shujie asked him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhen said: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant."
He said: "We didn't plan to go back so soon, but your sister-in-law's morning sickness is a bit severe."
"She smelled the fumes and vomited very badly. She can't go to the hotel now. I have to be busy with the cotton fields here and can't take care of her in time. I'm thinking of sending your sister-in-law back to Caojiazhuang.
, let my mother take care of it first." Cao Zhen said.
It turned out that this was what happened. Cao Shujie said directly to him: "When will you come back? I put aside everything and drove to pick you up."
"Okay, then I'll pack my things and take the flight to Quancheng Airport tomorrow morning." This is what Cao Zhen told him on the phone. He didn't say much about the rest. The tacit understanding between the two people was automatically generated.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie told his wife about the situation.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't find it weird. She had been pregnant before and knew that some people had severe morning sickness.
She was pregnant with Mengmeng at the time, and when she went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, she even encountered someone with morning sickness and blood vomiting.
People who have never experienced it cannot imagine it at all.
"Then remember to go to Quancheng Airport early tomorrow and wait there. Don't be in a hurry when you come back and drive slower." Cheng Xiaolin warned her husband.
"Well, don't worry." Cao Shujie said.
…
On the other side, in Xinjiang Changji, Cao Zhen and Patiguli were also packing their things.
Mainly because Patiguli said that Cao Zhen did the work.
Thinking about her husband's tone when he called Cao Shujie just now, she was really envious.
"Cao Zhen, how did you know Shujie would come to pick us up?" Patiguli was very curious.
Cao Zhen said without looking back: "It goes without saying, women don't understand our relationship."
When Patiguli heard what her husband said, she blurted out: "Then you two should just get married."
"Nonsense, we are brothers, how can this be the same?" Cao Zhen rolled his eyes at his wife.
This girl really dares to think!
…
Early on the next morning, Cao Shujie finished his work and drove his GL8 towards Quancheng Airport.
Halfway through, Cao Shujie wanted to call Cao Zhen and was about to tell him that he was on his way to Quancheng Airport.
But the call didn't go through.
Cao Shujie thought that they might have already boarded the plane, so he stopped the car temporarily on the roadside and sent a text message to Cao Zhen, telling him that he was walking on the road and asked them not to rush when they arrived and to wait patiently for a while.
Then we got back on the road.
About two and a half hours later, Cao Shujie arrived at the Quancheng Airport parking lot.
After parking the car, Cao Shujie called Cao Zhen again, but still couldn't get through, so he ignored it.
I was playing the game on my phone for about 20 minutes when the game on my phone was interrupted and someone called me.
When he saw that it was Cao Zhen calling him, Cao Shujie answered the phone.
"Hey, have you gotten off the plane?"
…
After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie walked towards the entrance of the terminal.
Seven or eight minutes later, he saw Cao Zhen and Patiguli walking out at the door.
Cao Zhen was dragging a suitcase in each hand, with a blue travel bag wrapped around one of the suitcases. He also carried a bulging black backpack on his back, as if he was about to move.
Patiguli was walking beside her with only a brown handbag in her hand.
Occasionally she would raise her hands to cover her mouth and abdomen and retching for a while. Looking at her pale face, one could tell that she felt very uncomfortable.
"Cao Zhen, sister-in-law." Cao Shujie hurried up to greet her, reaching out and taking the suitcase with the blue travel bag from Cao Zhen's hand.
"Shujie, you came so early. I was so busy before getting on the plane that I forgot to tell you." Cao Zhen pointed to the luggage and said.
Just thinking about it, he knew that he had to take care of his wife and check in his luggage, so it was normal that he didn't have time.
Cao Shujie waved his hand and said, "What a big deal, we brothers don't need to talk about it."
"Sister-in-law, are you okay? Why don't you find a place to rest for a while."
Patiguli shook her head: "Much better. I was a little dizzy when the plane landed just now."
Cao Shujie thought about the weightless feeling when he was flying. Normal people would feel uncomfortable, let alone pregnant women.
"Then let's go quickly. My car is in the parking lot opposite. Let's get in the car and rest for a while." Cao Shujie led the way, dragging his suitcase out.
Cao Zhen supported his wife and followed Cao Shujie outside.
When he came to the parking place and saw Cao Shujie's GL8 that had obviously just been washed, Cao Zhen mumbled and said, "After much thought, your car is more comfortable to sit in."
"That's a must. If you call Tie Min, his van will make a normal person want to vomit." Cao Shujie laughed and said.
Let Patiguli sit in the middle, and Cao Shujie told her that if she felt uncomfortable, she could completely fold down the backrest of the seat and it would be better to lie down.
"Shujie, I'll do it, brother, thank you!" Cao Zhen helped his wife lower the back of the chair and fasten her seat belt.
Cao Shujie shouted from the front: "Thank you, when did we become so different?"
"Haha, let's not talk anymore. Let's go home first. I brought some good wine to have a good drink at night." Cao Zhen said.
When Cao Shujie started the car, the speed was very slow. After the car slowly picked up speed, it accelerated smoothly and drove towards Caojiazhuang.
Cao Zhen and Patiguli, who were sitting in the middle seat, did not feel the bumps when the vehicle accelerated at all.
"Shujie, you have also been the village director for two months. How is it? Is this job easy to do?" Cao Zhen was very curious.
This gave Cao Shujie a chance to complain.
He told Cao Zhen and his wife what had happened in the past two months one by one.
Listening to Cao Shujie say that he is thinking of ways to help Caojiazhuang develop the economy, listening to him how to solve the problem of quarrels between couples in the village, listening to him talking about how to help kindergartens solve problems...
One pile, one piece
But if you listen carefully, you can hear that while Cao Shujie was pouring out his bitterness, there was also a sense of pride in his words.
Cao Zhen can feel it, and he also understands that Cao Shujie, a young man, has indeed taken on the role of village director and wholeheartedly wants to help Caojiazhuang develop.
"Shujie, there's something I haven't figured out yet. Why did you suddenly change your mind and become the village director?" Cao Zhen asked a question he had always had in his mind.
For a quarter of an hour, the car seemed to be frozen in silence.
After a while, Cao Shujie said with a smile: "Cao Zhen, can you imagine how it feels for someone who has no money for medical treatment and is afraid of dragging down his family and takes medicine to seek death?"
"I'm not a bad person, nor am I a holy mother, but Caojiazhuang is where we grew up after all."
"It's okay when I have no ability, but now I have some ability. I don't expect to bring everyone together to make a fortune. I just hope that there will be fewer such things!"
"Cao Zhen, don't call me stupid, kid. I have no choice, I really can't stand it!" Cao Shujie's hand on the steering wheel tightened.
Cao Zhen and Patiguli were listening behind them. They never expected that this would happen. They couldn't explain what was going on, and Cao Zhen felt quite heavy!
This is from yesterday. Sorry, I fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Everything is safe, not even a shock is felt. Although the prediction is not accurate, I hope it will never be accurate!
