But forget about kiwi fruit, no matter how well managed it is, it won’t bear fruit within two years.
At this time, the most promising people are those who grow pasture and raise cattle.
"Honey, let's go." After Cao Shujie loaded all the things he should bring into the car, he called his wife and daughter to get in the car together.
His mother, Wang Yuelan, warned him from the side: "Shujie, please drive slowly on the road. Don't be anxious. Give me a call when you get there."
"Mom, don't worry. Stew more ribs for my grandpa. There are some shrimps under the refrigerator. You can take them out and eat them too." Cao Shujie also told his mother.
"You don't have to worry. Let's go quickly while it's cool." Wang Yuelan began to urge again.
"Also, aren't you going to Xinjiang? Tell your mother-in-law and let them go together." Wang Yuelan said to her son again.
Her daughter-in-law had told her last night that she would go to Xinjiang for a while. Wang Yuelan thought about the last time the old couple followed their son. Her daughter-in-law had been out for almost ten days. This time the queue should be rotated to the in-laws' house.
?
Otherwise, she would always feel uncomfortable.
Seeing her son driving away in his GL8, Wang Yuelan turned to her husband Cao Jianguo and said: "Old Cao, if the in-laws don't want to go, neither of us should go. Let's stay at home and look after the house."
"You go and have a look. I won't go. My family is so busy, and Shujie just bought 300 cows. I don't feel at ease if I don't have anyone to watch."
Cao Jianguo thought so.
He had no intention of going out from the beginning.
Wang Yuelan heard what her husband said, thought about it, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, otherwise I wouldn't go."
"What are you doing at home? Just go and see."
Cao Jianguo said: "You have only endured hardships and tiredness with me, and you have not enjoyed the blessings. Now you can get some benefits with your son and travel around. It's good."
…
On the way from Qingshi Town to Chengjiapo, Dayao Town, Anwu County, mother and daughter Cheng Xiaolin and Mengmeng were sitting in the middle row of seats.
Mengmeng was restrained by the safety seat and could not move.
She felt weak all over and twisted back and forth in the car seat, trying to get her mother to let her go.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't agree with anything: "Mengmeng, be honest, or just go to bed. When you wake up, we will go to grandma's house."
"Mom, you are lying, I don't believe it." Mengmeng turned her head to the side, feeling that she could no longer chat with her mother.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't share her knowledge either. She muttered, "Shujie, my parents may not go."
"How do you know they won't go? After we get there, we'll discuss it with them first," Cao Shujie said.
"But our car can't carry so many people." Cheng Xiaolin said one more thing.
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu, his wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law and Mengmeng, there are already 6 people. The GL8 can seat 7 people in total.
Cao Shujie was already prepared. He said, "When the time comes, squeeze in. If you hold Mengmeng in your arms, you can sit down."
"If it doesn't work out, I'll buy a minibus and find a temporary driver." Cao Shujie said.
His driver's license does not allow him to drive a minibus.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she felt very safe in her heart. Her husband actually did something instead of just talking about it.
They set off early, and it was only around 9 a.m. when they drove to Chengjiapo.
The car stopped at the door, and Cheng Xiaolin got out of the car holding her sleeping daughter Mengmeng.
When Cao Shujie opened the trunk alone and took things out of the car, the door to his mother-in-law's house opened.
Upon hearing the commotion, father-in-law Cheng Rengui and mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan came out of the house together.
Cao Shujie was a little surprised that he didn't see his nephew Cheng Tiandong.
"Dad, Mom." Cao Shujie called.
Li Xiaojuan walked a few steps quickly and took her granddaughter Mengmeng from her daughter's arms. Looking at Mengmeng who started drooling while sleeping, she began to complain: "You can come later, why do you have to rush for time? Look at Mengmeng.
How sleepy are you?"
When Cao Shujie heard what his mother-in-law said, he said, "Mom, you haven't seen how naughty she was on the road. We all came to the border of Anwu County and she fell asleep."
"Mom, where is Dongdong? My brother picked him up?" Cheng Xiaolin was a little curious.
But she obviously thought too much.
Li Xiaojuan said: "You are so thoughtful. They can't even take care of themselves now. Do you think your brother can take Dongdong away?"
Li Xiaojuan shook his head: "He went to kindergarten. He was just sent to kindergarten in September this year."
Speaking of this, Li Xiaojuan looked at her granddaughter in her arms: "It's time for Mengmeng to go to kindergarten, right?"
"I won't send her this year. We'll wait until next spring." Cheng Xiaolin said.
After talking for a while, Li Xiaojuan remembered something, looked at her husband, and scolded him: "Lao Cheng, you didn't see Shujie getting something, don't you know how to help?"
Cheng Rengui said nothing and hurried to help.
Cao Shujie also said: "Dad, it's okay, I can get it myself."
But Cheng Rengui said to him: "If you don't want me to be scolded anymore, just let me get something."
Cao Shujie couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to laugh.
My father-in-law is very self-aware!
Cheng Xiaolin was also nearby. When she heard her father say this, she shouted speechlessly: "Mom, what are you doing?"
"It's okay. It's good for your dad's health to let him do some work." Li Xiaojuan said this.
She said: "Look at how fat your dad is now, you can't stand it anymore."
Cao Shujie thought to himself that this reason was really invincible.
Mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan walked home with Mengmeng in her arms. Cao Shujie and his father-in-law were carrying things. Cheng Xiaolin saw that her husband and father had taken so many things, so she stepped forward to help them.
"Shujie, give me the wine." Cheng Xiaolin stretched out her hand to receive the box of Maotai.
Cheng Rengui originally wanted to share the things he was holding with his daughter, but his daughter didn't even look at it, and walked towards home without looking back, without even asking him what he wanted.
"This is such a good girl!" Cheng Rengui thought to himself.
In the room, Li Xiaojuan had put her granddaughter Mengmeng on the bed and asked her to continue sleeping.
"Shujie, I heard from Linlin that you are very busy now as the village director, right?" Li Xiaojuan asked.
She really didn't expect that her son-in-law would become an official.
Li Xiaojuan doesn't know much. In her mind, the village director is also an official.
It made her feel like she was in a dream.
Cheng Xiaolin saw the change in the expression on her mother's face and guessed what her mother was thinking: "Mom, Shujie was really busy some time ago, but not very busy now."
"We have one more thing to discuss with you this time," Cheng Xiaolin said.
"What's going on?" Cheng Rengui asked.
Before Cao Shujie could say anything, his wife Cheng Xiaolin said: "Mom, Shujie is thinking of going to Xinjiang for a few days later, and he wants to take you with him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Rengui stood up and said, "Where can I go? I have to look after the cows at home."
"I can't go either. Dongdong goes to kindergarten and I have to pick him up and drop him off every day. How do I get there?" Li Xiaojuan shook her head.
He said: "You can go and play by yourself if you want."
Cheng Xiaolin looked back at her husband and winked at him, thinking about letting him use his ability to deceive people.
But Cheng Xiaolin underestimated the stubbornness of his parents.
Cao Shujie tried his best, but failed to convince them.
In the end, Cheng Xiaolin worked hard to get her mother to change her mind.
When Li Xiaojuan went to cook, Cao Shujie said to his wife: "Thankfully we are here. We couldn't have discussed it on the phone."
Cheng Xiaolin was also worried: "Shujie, do you think Yunping and the others really can't care about their children? They just leave the stuff at home and don't take care of it."
It's hard for Cao Shujie to talk about this matter, but Dongdong is already 4 years old this year. If this continues, it will definitely not be good for Dongdong's education.
"When they come back during the Chinese New Year, I will have a chat with Yunping." Cao Shujie said.
There is currently no better way.
Cheng Xiaolin also knew that as her husband said, she said: "Ignore them for now, I will help cook, and you will look cute."
"Go ahead." Cao Shujie waved his hand.
Cao Shujie and his father-in-law Cheng Rengui were the only ones left in the room.
Cheng Rengui took the initiative to ask about some of his experiences in raising cattle. He also told his son-in-law some of the problems he encountered during the process of raising cattle, and also listened to his son-in-law share his experience in raising cattle.
Cao Shujie also followed his father-in-law to the cowshed and looked around. Looking at the size of the five cows in the cowshed, Cao Shujie thought that his father-in-law was really attentive.
"Dad, I think you've raised it well. It will be almost ready to be sold by the end of the year. Do you want me to contact you a buyer then?" Cao Shujie asked.
Who knew that Cheng Rengui said: "Shujie, don't mention the cow sale. Several restaurant owners in the town came over and asked me if I could sell the cow. I kept blocking it and they all robbed it."
Cao Shujie laughed when he heard what his father-in-law said.
This is typical beef that you don’t have to worry about selling.
However, Cao Shujie's 50 beef cattle were all sold to farmers and restaurants, otherwise he might also encounter the same situation as his father-in-law.
"Dad, since you don't have to worry about selling your cows, then I don't care."
After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie asked his father-in-law: "Do you want to consider raising a few more calves now to continue?"
Cheng Rengui did not need to be reminded by his son-in-law this time. He said, "I am also considering this matter."
"How much does a calf cost now?" Cheng Rengui asked his son-in-law.
"I just bought a batch of cattle a few days ago, and I bought them for 3,300 yuan per head," Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Rengui was shocked after hearing this: "It's so expensive? We bought it at the beginning of the year for only 1,700 yuan, right?"
Because the current price is so high, Cheng Rengui is not sure whether he has forgotten it.
Hearing what his father-in-law said, Cao Shujie was not angry and patiently told him: "Dad, this price is still more than what I paid for calves some time ago. They gave me a preferential price. Otherwise, I would have to add several hundred yuan for each calf."
money."
"Hey, why did the price increase so fast? According to your statement, buying a calf now costs 2,000 yuan more than at the beginning of the year." Cheng Rengui felt that the price increase was too outrageous, and it more than doubled.
He shouted: "If I had known this earlier, I would have bought more at the beginning of the year."
What can Cao Shujie say? This is market behavior!
He said: "Dad, didn't you just say that your cows were being bought by several bosses in the town? It's normal for calves to be expensive."
"It's really like that." Cheng Rengui stopped worrying about this and asked his son-in-law: "Shujie, how many calves did you buy?"
"It's not a lot. I just bought 300 heads. If I hadn't bought more, they wouldn't have given me a discount," Cao Shujie said.
He asked his father-in-law: "Dad, do you still want to buy it? If so, I'll call Boss Cui and let him know."
"Ouch, I thought the price wasn't so high. I originally wanted to buy a few more..." The expression on Cheng Rengui's face kept hesitating.
At that moment, Cao Shujie seemed to understand something. He asked his father-in-law: "Dad, how many heads did you originally plan to buy?"
"Ten heads, I think my current experience is enough. If I buy less, I won't be busy enough." Cheng Rengui also had a kind of confidence in his tone.
Although he just asked his son-in-law a lot of questions, it does not mean that his skills are very poor.
From the Chinese New Year to now, after more than half a year of accumulation of breeding technology, his current breeding technology is very mature.
At the beginning of the year, I didn't dare to get so many calves, but it's different now.
Cheng Rengui thinks he can raise more calves. Who knows whether the price of calves will rise in the future?
"Dad, are 10 cows enough?" Cao Shujie didn't take it seriously and asked directly.
Cheng Rengui nodded: "Enough, my place is only so big, I can't support more."
"Besides, raising too many cows will cost a lot of money just for feed." Cheng Rengui had his own plan: "I'm thinking of selling these five cows during the Chinese New Year in two months, and I can use the money to buy some fodder to raise calves.
"
Cao Shujie was really relieved this time. His father-in-law had his own plan and was not blindly expanding it.
"Then I'll call Boss Cui and ask him to arrange for someone to deliver ten calves to you. I'll put the money in advance..."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Rengui said: "Don't worry, Shujie, I will definitely pay you back the money."
"Dad, there's no need." Cao Shujie said, "Just take it and use it."
But Cheng Rengui disagreed and said that if Cao Shujie didn't want the money, he would rather not raise cattle.
Cao Shujie was just thinking about discussing this issue with his father-in-law, when suddenly his daughter's cry came to his ears. Cao Shujie ran towards the house without even bothering to chat with his father-in-law.
Mengmeng had just woken up. When she woke up, she found that she was the only one in the house. Her parents and grandparents were gone. She thought they had left her and ran away. Mengmeng was very frightened.
She burst into tears at that time, and Cao Shujie ran in and quickly comforted his daughter.
Mengmeng cried and muttered: "Dad, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
"Silly girl, if dad doesn't want me, he won't want you either," Cao Shujie said.
Mengmeng hugged her father's neck hard and refused to let go.
…
After lunch, Cao Shujie told his wife alone about his father-in-law's purchase of cattle.
"My dad has no money?" Cheng Xiaolin felt something was wrong. Her dad still had some savings, and the old couple had nothing to spend in the countryside, so why didn't they have any money?
"I'll ask my mother. Maybe my mother saved the money and didn't give it to my father." Cheng Xiaolin muttered.
After she finished asking, Cao Shujie couldn't laugh or cry, and his wife actually guessed it right. This was really interesting.
