Chapter 52 Mengmeng's cleverness must be in the wrong place
When Cao Shujie took out his things from the car and entered the house, his wife laughed when she saw him.
It was indeed too late today. Wang Yuelan asked them why they came back so late. After knowing what happened, she urged them to wash up and go to bed.
…
The next morning, listening to the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs outside, Cao Shujie got up, dressed, and came out of the room.
After a night's rest, he is now full of energy and does not feel sleepy or dizzy after staying up late.
Green smoke was pouring out of the chimney on the roof of the east room. Occasionally, a few sparks would rise up into the sky with the green smoke and burn out in the air.
Cao Shujie smelled the aroma of a big pot cooking in the yard.
His father, Cao Jianguo, was sweeping the yard with a bamboo broom. Cao Shujie walked over and said, "Dad, give me the broom and I'll sweep it."
"I'm just doing some exercise, go ahead." Cao Jianguo said, and what he said was true.
After several of his peers in the village suffered from cerebral thrombosis and were nagged by their wives all day long, Cao Jianguo became frightened and worked harder than before.
In this case, Cao Shujie no longer stayed here: "Dad, I will go to the mountain to have a look."
"Go on, don't forget that you have to water your house today." Cao Jianguo told him.
"I remember." Secretary Cao nodded. He looked at the two husky brothers who were still sleeping in the dog cage, thinking about playing tricks on them again, but finally his conscience found out.
The little wild cat also got up early and was sitting on the top of the cage. When it saw Cao Shujie coming over, it stared at Cao Shujie coldly with its cat eyes, making Cao Shujie look a little scared.
"What kind of breed is your special grandma? Why are you so wild?" Cao Shujie muttered and asked casually: "I want to go to the mountains to have a look, are you going?"
"Meow!" the little wild cat Huahua meowed. Cao Shujie thought it was not going, but who knew that this cat jumped down from the top of the cage very lightly and stood motionless next to Cao Shujie.
"Oh, do you really understand?" Cao Shujie felt that he must have missed something.
But the little wild cat still responded with a 'meow' call, shaking its head back and forth, and giving him a sidelong glance, as if to say: "You idiot!"
Cao Shujie felt that he must have thought too much.
"Let's go!" Cao Shujie took the lead and walked towards the mountain at the north end of Caojiazhuang.
The little wild cat Huahua was following behind him. Cao Shujie also wanted to imitate other people to pet cats gracefully, but this guy didn't cooperate at all. When he walked in a little, Huahua ran away, and finally let it walk slowly on its own.
.
Passing by the house, Cao Shujie went in and took a look.
At this time, it was not bright yet, and there was no water or electricity installed in the house. It was dark, and the house itself had not yet dried out, which gave people an eerie feeling.
"Meow!" Huahua suddenly meowed, startling Cao Shujie.
"Huahua, can you please stop screaming when it's okay? I'm scared to death." Cao Shujie complained.
Huahua turned the cat's head aside, as if she was dissing Cao Shujie: "Look at your courage, it's so shameful."
In fact, it felt very sad. If I remembered correctly, this was obviously my previous home, but why was it different?
Things have changed, the world has changed, and the cat is a little sad.
After leaving the house, we walked all the way up the mountain to the orchard. We were faced with a barbed wire guardrail. From here on, it really felt like a 'private land'.
But no one in Caojiazhuang objected, not even the village party secretary Cao Jiangang said a word. Everyone knew that Cao Shujie had invested hundreds of thousands in it, and it was normal for people to do so.
The wild cat Huahua followed closely behind Cao Shujie. One person and one cat visited the old orchard first, and the small berries on the kiwi vines grew again.
The leaves and vines are still green, supplying various nutrients to the fruits, making people feel comfortable just looking at them.
Cao Shujie was not in a hurry. He kept walking forward little by little. When he encountered any dead branches, leaves or vines, he pinched them off on the spot.
If there were any broken fruit, he would just pick them off and throw them away.
At this moment, Cao Shujie was very professional.
After watching the old orchard, Cao Shujie went to the new orchard.
These yellow-heart kiwifruit and red-heart kiwifruit have been planted for more than 10 days and have been watered twice. Most of them are growing well, but some seedlings are showing signs of withering.
Cao Shujie pondered for a while and looked at the 78 acres of mountainous land around him. He thought that artificial irrigation and spraying pesticides were not advisable. He had to lay pipes and install automatic sprinkler irrigation.
He spent more than an hour going to other places to see how the fruit saplings were growing.
"Who can you love after a broken heart? It feels like no one feels sorry for you..."
Cao Shujie's phone rang suddenly. It was a new song "Who Can You Love With a Broken Heart" just released by Liu Zhe last year? He liked it.
He pulled it out and saw that it was his wife Cheng Xiaolin calling: "Hello, wife."
"Husband, you are still on the mountain. Our mother asked you to go home for dinner." Cheng Xiaolin said.
"Go back immediately." Cao Shujie said.
After hanging up the phone, he walked down the mountain.
After dinner, I will go to the town to look for it. If I don’t find it, I will go directly to the county.
During the meal, Cao Shujie asked his father, Cao Jianguo: "Dad, do you know where there is automatic sprinkler irrigation equipment?"
"What do you want that thing for?" Cao Jianguo knew what his son was talking about.
Cao Shujie told his father what he had just seen when he went up the mountain. After hearing this, Cao Jianguo said: "I will accompany you to water it again later. The fully automated sprinkler irrigation equipment you mentioned is quite expensive. You have such a big place."
, it can’t be more than a hundred thousand, what are you spending that wasted money on?”
After all, Cao Jianguo was still distressed. He felt that if problems could be solved manually, he should save money.
After all, my son’s money didn’t come from strong winds. He has not yet produced anything, so he keeps investing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands into it. Even if there is a cornucopia, it won’t be able to withstand it.
Cao Shujie shook his head: "Dad, you can't think like that. I have such a large orchard and cannot rely on manual labor alone. The efficiency is slow and the watering is uneven. If automated sprinkler irrigation equipment is installed, I can solve it by myself. How can it be done by myself?"
It would be great if you could free up time to do other things."
"Besides, this kind of equipment is a one-time investment that will benefit you for life. You can't just look at it."
"..." Cao Jianguo couldn't talk to him, and he didn't bother to talk to his son.
Finally, he muttered: "We don't have one in town, you have to go to the county town. There is one at Global Hardware Market. Do you still need me to accompany you?"
"No need, I can't handle such a trivial matter?" Cao Shujie thought to himself that his father didn't understand either, and it would be in vain if he went there. When he got to the county seat, he might as well ask Cao Zhen and the others.
At this time, Cao Shujie realized more and more that after returning from the capital, no matter what he wanted to do, he seemed to be able to find friends who could help him.
Unlike when I was in the capital, when I had no friends and something happened, my colleagues would not do their best to help.
He told his wife that he would go to the county town later. Before Cheng Xiaolin could say anything, Mengmeng shouted: "Dad, I'm going, I'm going!"
"What are you going to do?" Cao Shujie asked her.
Then I heard Mengmeng say matter-of-factly: "Have fun, buy skirts, princess shoes, and delicious food."
She waved her little hands: "So many, so many."
Even though she is young, she is really smart and it is difficult to forget anyone who has anything to do with her!
Cao Shujie thought to himself: "His daughter's intelligence must have been used in the wrong place."
