After dinner, Cao Shujie, Cao Jianlong, Gao Changyin, Cao Zhengcun and Lu Ping arrived at the village committee office. It was only a little after 8:30, so it was not too late.
As soon as he sat down, Cao Jianlong congratulated him: "Shujie, I heard that your orchard made more than 600,000 yuan in one day. Congratulations on getting rich."
"Uncle Long, your congratulations are too early." Cao Shujie was not happy because the daily income exceeded the estimate. He said: "You only saw me making money, but you didn't see the strawberries in my orchard."
The stubble has almost been harvested.”
"If so many people come here tomorrow, I won't be able to produce this much."
"Besides, there is still a period of time between when one crop is picked and when the next crop grows. During this period, it is almost impossible to make money from bits and pieces."
Cao Jianlong and the others knew a little bit about it. When they heard what Cao Shujie said, they did not refute: "Okay, even so, your earnings are not small."
After finishing speaking, Cao Jianlong asked him: "Shujie, you asked us to have a meeting at night. What issue are you discussing?"
Cao Shujie told them about the unexpected situation he encountered today.
After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie had a serious expression on his face: "Uncle Long, today's incident is not very serious, and the treatment was timely, but if something more serious happens due to an accident in the future, we don't even have an emergency plan.
, there is not even an emergency center, which may lead to greater consequences due to time delays."
"I think we urgently need to receive professional emergency response plans and discuss with the hospital to set up a first aid point."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Cao Shujie thought he had a few more words to say, but who knew that Cao Jianlong and the other four people simply agreed.
"Shujie, please contact me about this matter," Cao Jianlong said.
Cao Shujie did not refuse.
Speaking of which, it would be difficult for Cao Jianlong and others over 50 years old to contact these two parties.
Maybe if they hadn't brought it up themselves, they wouldn't have had any idea about it.
The meeting that was originally planned to take more than half an hour was completed in a few minutes.
But there was no rush to go home. The five of them were chatting in the village committee office, talking about tomorrow's events.
Cao Jianlong and the others also have high hopes for tomorrow.
But Cao Shujie also told them: "The amount of picking tomorrow may not be as much as today."
"That's okay. How many strawberries you can sell tomorrow is your business. We only focus on how many people can come tomorrow." Cao Jianlong said this.
Just like today, according to statistics, the actual number of parking in the three parking lots in Caojiazhuang is as high as 1,349, and the total revenue from parking management fees is 6,037 yuan.
There are still some people who come here by bus instead of driving.
In addition, almost everyone who comes to play is a family member, and the potential benefits these people can create for Caojiazhuang are very large.
This is also the focus of Cao Jianlong and others.
After hearing this, Cao Shujie couldn't help but want to laugh, but Cao Jianlong stood up, clasped his hands together and raised his hands to Cao Shujie: "Shujie, Caojiazhuang has benefited from you."
The other three people also understood. They were about to express their gratitude like Cao Jianlong, but they were quickly stopped by Cao Shujie: "If you do this, I won't come."
A few people laughed and didn't mention it again.
Cao Shujie was wondering who could help find someone to do emergency training.
As for setting up an emergency point in Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie knew very well that he would have to ask Liu Furong for help to negotiate with the hospital.
Director Cao doesn't have that much face now.
Or Cao Shujie can perfectly solve this problem by recruiting a retired emergency doctor from the county hospital and stationed in Caojiazhuang for a long time.
…
There were also a lot of people coming over on the second day, but just as Cao Shujie expected, there were people, but not as many people as there were yesterday, and the number of strawberries in the orchard was also much smaller.
There are also some strawberries that turn from green to red, but the orchard staff are not allowed to pick these strawberries.
After a tiring day at the weekend, a total of 14,319 kilograms were sold, with a total income of 501,165 yuan.
There is a difference of nearly 120,000 from yesterday's sales.
After the day was over, Cao Shujie asked Cao Shuhai to send a message to eight groups. Starting tomorrow, the orchard will be closed for three days and will reopen during the Qingming Festival.
It doesn't matter, the strawberries must be given some time to breathe, otherwise the strawberries in his orchard will be half-ripe during such a good time as the Qingming Festival, which will be fatal.
Despite this, the two-day sales totaled more than 1.1 million, which made Cao Shujie very satisfied.
Compared with last year, this year's advantage is that there is not much change in terms of output, but this year we don't have to invest in the cost of strawberry seedlings, which can save hundreds of thousands.
But if there are people who come to view the fruit trees and flowers in the orchard, or who come to take wedding photos, Cao Shujie will not prohibit it.
He even clapped his hands to welcome these people.
…
March was the perfect ending to Cao Shujie’s last busy days.
On Monday morning, Mengmeng was carrying a small schoolbag. Cao Shujie held her little hand in one hand and held a long stack of foam boxes in the other hand. The foam boxes were filled with strawberries specially selected by Cao Shujie.
Mengmeng had promised the children in their kindergarten class that when the strawberries in her orchard were ripe, she would bring them over for the children to try.
When the time comes, the children will support her as the group leader.
Mengmeng has always remembered this incident and has been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
"Dad, let's go quickly."
Mengmeng broke away from her father's hand and ran forward.
When I came to the entrance of the kindergarten, I saw many grandparents, uncles and aunts sending the children off. Mengmeng also saw the kindergarten teachers standing at the entrance.
She ran directly over and shouted to Li Qiuling: "Teacher, good morning!"
"Mengmeng, did you come here by yourself this morning?" Li Qiuling also wanted to praise her for her courage.
In rural kindergartens, there are quite a few children who come to school on their own.
Mengmeng turned around and pointed at the figure coming from the east and shouted: "No, dad sent me here."
Seeing the proud look on her face, Li Qiuling thought to herself that the little guy was really lucky.
As she turned to look back, someone suddenly shouted: "Director Cao, what are you holding?"
Li Qiuling looked back and saw that Cao Shujie was holding a long string of foam boxes in his right hand, tied with ropes.
Foam boxes are not small.
She immediately thought of strawberries.
"Director Cao, good morning."
"Sister Qiuling, good morning."
The director of the garden next to him, Ding Dezhong, also said hello to Cao Shujie.
"Director Ding, Sister Qiu Ling, I will bring you some of the freshly grown strawberries in the orchard." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
Li Qiuling didn't expect that she had guessed it right. Now that she was in trouble, she stopped being polite.
Ding Dezhong also expressed his gratitude to Cao Shujie.
The teachers in the middle and upper classes are only envious.
They looked at the foam box Cao Shujie was holding and wondered if he could distribute it to all the children in the kindergarten.
Obviously, Mengmeng's small class must be taken care of first, and the rest will have their turn.
"Dad, let's go quickly." Mengmeng stopped at the door of the kindergarten and shouted loudly.
In just a moment, it has attracted enough attention.
Mengmeng also saw many children in their class running towards the small class classroom, screaming.
Just now someone called me "Sister Mengmeng", but she was so beautiful.
She now wants to enter the classroom with her father. There must be many children who admire her.
That picture is too good to think about anymore.
Cao Shujie knew his daughter so well that he could see through Mengmeng's thoughts at a glance.
He spoke to Li Qiuling, carried the strawberries and walked inside.
"Director Cao, let me take it in."
Seeing Cao Shujie carrying it easily, she thought there weren't many strawberries.
But as soon as she reached out to take it, her hand suddenly fell down. Cao Shujie grabbed the rope in time and didn't fall to the ground.
"Director Cao, how many strawberries did you bring?" Li Qiuling was curious.
Cao Shujie said with a smile: "There are 6 boxes in total, each box weighs 5 pounds, which should be enough for every child in our kindergarten to try."
He also said: "This foam box still contains enough. When you have a rest, you can just take your children to my orchard to eat."
The teachers in other classes suddenly felt a little ashamed when they heard what Cao Shujie said.
Just now they thought that Cao Shujie could not bring so many, but who knew that what they brought was far more than they imagined.
They are a bit mean-spirited.
"Teacher Li, you can pick up the children here. I'll go in with Director Cao." The principal, Ding Dezhong, came over.
He and Cao Shujie walked towards the small class together, chatting as they walked.
Ding Dezhong's gratitude to Cao Shujie is something that others don't understand.
Caojiazhuang Kindergarten was almost disbanded because it could not recruit teachers.
It was Cao Shujie who came up with a unique trick and helped them solve this problem.
For this reason alone, Ding Dezhong could not forget it.
"Old Ding, why don't you have any interactive activities in your kindergarten?" Cao Shujie asked in a joking tone.
Ding Dezhong was a little confused when he was asked: "Director Cao, what kind of interactive activities?"
"It just invites parents to come to the kindergarten and do some parent-child interaction with the children."
Cao Shujie shared his wife’s ‘experience’ when she was a kindergarten teacher in Beijing with Ding Dezhong.
After listening, Ding Dezhong shook his head and laughed: "Director Cao, what you said is not realistic in our kindergarten."
"How do you say that?" Cao Shujie wondered.
Ding Dezhong said: "The teachers in our school have no experience in this area."
"Besides, our parents in the countryside are more reserved in their concern for their children, and it is impossible to interact with them as enthusiastically as parents and children in the city."
"Another point is that our resources are limited. Like the interaction you just mentioned, Director Cao, we don't even have the props to organize games, and we don't have that much spare money to buy these props. There is no subsidy in this area in the town."
Ding Dezhong told a bloody reality.
Relatively speaking, there is a big gap between kindergartens in rural areas and kindergartens in cities in many aspects.
Not to mention better private kindergartens.
For example, some kindergartens teach children various hands-on skills, multiple foreign languages, and various hobbies from the time they first enter the kindergarten.
Cao Shujie knew that when he was in Beijing, some colleagues sent their children to high-end private kindergartens. Those children actually started learning various musical instruments, foreign languages, and even horse riding in kindergarten.
It can only be said that the environment does limit imagination.
"That's okay. My orchard is quite fun now. You can take the children to play there when you have time. When there are kiwis in July and apples in September, let the children eat as they like." Cao Shujie laughed.
Ding Dezhong was moved and responded repeatedly: "Director Cao, on behalf of the children, I am so grateful."
"Hey, it's all trivial." Cao Shujie waved his hand, and the two followed Mengmeng into the small class classroom.
