Chapter 436 Construction starts (10,000) Good night
Arriving at the mountain, Cao Shujie stood on the turning platform and looked east along the line of sight. That area of the mountain had not yet been developed.
It was not developed in the past mainly because that area was relatively steep and there was no way to plant fruit trees or breed it, so it had no value to Cao Shujie.
At that time, Cao Shujie didn't have that much spare money to engage in such money-splitting activities.
But it's different now. He has to sort it out so that tourists can have more places to play.
In this way, every time I come to his place, I can only pick some fruits, look at the fruit trees and flowers on the mountain, and then... disappear.
It's okay if the time is short, but if the time is a little longer, it will feel a bit boring, and over time, you may not want to come.
"After all, you still have to spend money!" Cao Shujie thought in his mind.
"Shujie, Shujie."
His wife called him.
Cao Shujie looked up and saw that his wife was standing at the entrance of the orchard wearing a light blue skirt.
A gust of wind blew over, causing the hem of her skirt to flutter slightly.
When Cao Shujie looked over from his position, his wife seemed to be stepping on the water.
"It's so beautiful!" he murmured quietly.
Walking to his wife, Cheng Xiaolin looked him up and down, which made Cao Shujie feel uncomfortable all over: "What are you looking at?"
"Now that you dare to stay up all night, let me see if there is anything extra on you." Cheng Xiaolin had a teasing smile on her face.
Cao Shujie glared at her angrily, walked up to her, raised his arm and stretched it towards his wife's nose: "Do you want to smell someone else's perfume on me?"
"Bah, you can wash it if you have it..."
Cheng Xiaolin muttered, but before she finished her sentence, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol on the tip of her nose, which made her feel a little dizzy.
"You guys are really promising. How much wine have you drunk? You can't change your clothes and come back here."
Cao Shujie said: "Don't I miss you? When I got home, there was no one at home, so I guessed that you were in the mountains."
"You just know how to say nice things with your mouth." Cheng Xiaolin said to him.
But Cao Shujie raised his eyebrows and said, "How is that possible? I even bought you a gold bracelet. I was afraid of losing it along the way, so I asked me to leave it at home and give it to you when I get back."
"Really? How big is it?" Cheng Xiaolin's face was full of smiles, and even her eyes were full of smiles.
Cao Shujie pinched his thumbs and index fingers into a heart shape: "It's so big!"
Cheng Xiaolin was amused by him.
"Honey, why are you still wearing a skirt and coming to the mountain?" Cao Shujie wondered.
It's impossible to work in the orchard wearing a skirt.
Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "I'm going to come up to our mother and tell her something. Why don't I go down right now?"
"Oh!" Cao Shujie finally understood.
He pointed to his home down the hill: "Let's go, I'll give you the gold bracelet and then change my clothes."
Cao Shujie came to the entrance of the orchard on the mountain, but did not go in. He went down the mountain with his wife again.
…
At home, Cheng Xiaolin saw her husband giving her a bracelet and the exquisite patterns on it, and she liked it very much.
She quickly put it on her wrist. The size was quite suitable. The smile on her lips became more and more intense. She said with a smile: "You are so thoughtful."
Cao Shujie couldn't stand his wife's smiling face. While she was still admiring the bracelet, he leaned over, held her wife's face in his hands and kissed her hard.
"What are you doing!" Cheng Xiaolin gave him a tickling slap, but Cao Shujie didn't care: "Honey, you are so beautiful."
"Bah, you've already given birth to a child, why is it so beautiful? You can't even tell lies with your eyes open." Cheng Xiaolin said to him.
But Cao Shujie didn't think so. He said, "They say mothers are the most beautiful women. If you don't believe me, go out and ask."
"Honey, I think you would be even more beautiful if you had another baby!"
"Just stay here." Cheng Xiaolin was too lazy to talk to him.
"It's been two years and you still blame me for not being able to give birth."
Cao Shujie: "..."
The thief was injured.
Cheng Xiaolin looked at the other three jewelry boxes on the table: "Who are you buying these for?"
Cao Shujie pointed to the jewelry boxes one by one and said, "Mengmeng's grandma's, Mengmeng's grandma's, and Mengmeng's silver bracelet."
"What you bought is quite complete." Cheng Xiaolin felt that her husband was too thoughtful.
Cao Shujie chuckled: "It's not bad, you can send it to Mengmeng's grandma another day."
When his mother Wang Yuelan came down from the mountain, Cao Shujie handed over the gold bracelet he bought for her.
This has a special meaning for Wang Yuelan, as it is the first piece of gold jewelry she has received.
Looking over and over at the gold bracelet in her hand, the smile on Wang Yuelan's face never broke.
She was afraid that the gold bracelet would get dirty, so she wrapped it tightly with the cloth in the jewelry box.
"Mom, just put it on. This thing is what you wear when you buy it." Cao Shujie said.
But Wang Yuelan shook her head: "What do you think? Wearing this thing everywhere in the countryside, you think others don't know you are rich, right?"
"Besides, I go to work in the mountains every day, what should I do if this bracelet gets dirty?"
What else could Cao Shujie say?
Cao Jianguo looked on and smiled and praised: "This gold bracelet looks really beautiful."
Wang Yuelan turned her head and glanced at him: "I've been with you all my life, and I've never seen you buy one for me. How dare you say that?"
"I..." Cao Jianguo thinks why is it so difficult for him?
Cao Shujie wanted to laugh when he saw his father's embarrassment. He was shot while lying down.
But when he saw his father turning his head and looking over, he quickly suppressed his smile.
"Dad, don't leave in the afternoon. Come to my place for a drink in the evening?" Cao Shujie said.
"I bought a few more boxes of good wine," he said.
Cao Jianguo was very interested in wine. He asked, "What kind of wine did you buy?"
"Isn't the Maotai in the past almost finished? This time I bought two more boxes for you and my grandpa."
"There is also Luzhou Laojiao 1573. I also bought two boxes."
"But Luzhou Laojiao let us drink three bottles yesterday, and there is still one and a half boxes left."
A flash of joy flashed across Cao Jianguo's face: "How much did it cost?"
"Hey, you can just drink. Why are you asking for money?" Cao Shujie didn't say anything.
Seeing the expression on his son's face, Cao Jianguo knew. Not to mention Maotai, he thought that this 1573 is not cheap, right?
"Where's your grandpa? I haven't seen him since I came back." Cao Jianguo wondered.
Cao Shujie told his father: "My grandfather went to chat with his old friends. I guess he will be back soon."
He was really right. Not long after, Cao Zhenghu came in from the outside riding an electric tricycle.
As soon as he entered the door, he pressed the horn on the electric car: "Shujie, come here."
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Cao Shujie was very nervous, fearing that his grandpa was not feeling well.
Fortunately, Cao Zhenghu had no problem.
He said: "Your grandfather Zheng Lin killed a chicken and asked me to bring it back for Mengmeng to eat. You go wash it out quickly and stew it later."
Only then did Cao Shujie see a fertilizer bag under the footrest of the back seat, with the chicken inside.
This is the best dish to go with wine.
Without saying a word, he slipped the killed chicken out of the fertilizer bag, washed it, and chopped it into small pieces for stew later.
"Grandpa, you didn't drink too much," Cao Shujie asked him.
Cao Zhenghu was about to slap his grandson: "I didn't drink at all. I just drank tea and chatted."
"Hey, that's good too." Cao Shujie said, "I just have some wine left in my stomach. I'm going to cook right away."
When Mengmeng gets out of school in the afternoon, his wife doesn't need to go to the kindergarten to pick him up.
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu went directly to the kindergarten on the electric tricycle he bought for him.
"Shujie, look at grandpa, he has to pick up Mengmeng, and he won't listen no matter how hard you persuade him," Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie laughed, he thought this was good.
When Mengmeng was picked up, Cao Shujie handed over the silver bracelet he bought for her, and the little guy started jumping up and cheering, making a "bang bang" sound on the ground.
Fortunately it wasn't upstairs, otherwise the neighbors downstairs would have come looking for me.
"Dad, did you buy it for me? It's so beautiful." Mengmeng asked Cao Shujie to put the bracelet on her wrist.
I kept watching it and felt that I couldn't get enough.
Cheng Xiaolin said to her: "Mengmeng, why are you so beautiful again?"
"Mom, you are so beautiful, but you are wearing a skirt and you won't buy it for me." Mengmeng complained to her father.
Cao Shujie looked at his wife, then at his daughter, and thought to himself: "Mengmeng, please stop saying a few words. The more you say this, the less your mother will buy you a dress."
It's a pity that the little guy doesn't understand this.
She also asked her grandfather and grandmother to give her some advice.
A family with the same surname cannot compete with two women with a different surname!
Is this home still a place for reason?
In the evening, in addition to the stewed chicken, we also stir-fry a few vegetables.
Cao Shujie opened a bottle of 1573, and there were two bottles of wine left in the box.
"Shujie, how is the restaurant opened by Cao Zhen?" Cao Jianguo drank some wine. After tasting it carefully, he was full of praise for the wine.
"Dad, it's very good. The place is not small, the decoration is very good, and there are many key people." Cao Shujie described to his father the scene of their dinner in the restaurant yesterday.
"Dad, think about it, it's already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still a few people queuing up at the door waiting to be called. That restaurant of his must be so popular."
After hearing what his son said, Cao Jianguo thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
"Just the fire will do, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Wang Yuelan also said.
She told her son: "I was chatting with your aunt the other day, and your aunt also said that your family's savings were all used by your brother Zhen to buy that restaurant. If there is no one here and the restaurant loses money, the family will really have no money.
"
Cao Shujie also heard what Cao Zhen said.
But he didn't pay much attention at that time, and he wasn't very impressed. However, he didn't expect that Cao Zhen would take away all the family's savings.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, you will definitely make money." Cao Shujie said.
…
Unknowingly, in mid-April, Xue Jianwei, the engineer of the "Dikang Automation Equipment" that Cao Shujie had been talking about, came again. This time he came with a design sketch and wanted to review it with Cao Shujie.
If there are no problems, he will change these sketches into formal drawings after he returns, and Cao Shujie will also make renovations and upgrades in the workshop based on the drawings.
To put it bluntly, dig out the direction of water, electricity and gas pipelines, pits and trenches for buried equipment, etc.
To put it more plainly, construction is about to officially begin.
