The next moment I heard Cao Jiangang say: "After the village committee held a meeting to study and decide, the money will be mainly used for the construction and improvement of public utilities in Caojiazhuang Village, as well as the further spiritual civilization improvement of Caojiazhuang villagers."
"Including but not limited to the electricity bill for turning on the street lights in the village. Haven't everyone reported that the street lights in the village are not turned on? We will turn them on this time."
"It's open for two hours every night from 7 to 9 p.m. in the summer."
"In winter, we open it for two hours every night from 6 to 8 o'clock."
“During New Years and holidays, we open for 4 hours from 6pm to 10pm.”
"Do you understand the above?" Cao Jiangang shouted loudly.
The villagers in the audience listened carefully, but no one responded.
Cao Jiangang didn't care either. He continued to announce: "In addition to this, we also plan to use this money to build a 'fitness activity center'."
"Now the country advocates the construction of new rural areas and wants us to have a new development direction and a new spiritual and cultural outlook, so we can't just stay at home or work in the fields. After many meetings of our village committee to study and discuss, we are preparing to
The ground will be hardened on the open space in the south of the compound, and sports and fitness equipment will be purchased and installed, and a basketball court will be built. When we are not busy, we can gather here to talk and chat, and exercise while doing exercise to improve our spiritual and cultural accomplishments."
"..." Cao Shujie thinks this suggestion is good, but their original intention is not necessarily good.
What followed was more nonsense, and Secretary Cao's cell phone rang again. When he saw that it was Xia Changhong, Cao Shujie hung up the phone and walked out with his horse.
After coming out of the village committee compound, Cao Shujie called back. After waiting for Xia Changhong to answer the call, he said, "Boss Xia, where are you?"
"North end of Caojia Village? Okay, I'll be there soon." Cao Shujie put his cell phone in his trouser pocket and walked quickly towards the north.
Cao Jiangang and Gao Weimin on the high platform turned a blind eye to his behavior.
…
As Cao Shujie walked on the north-south avenue of the village, he could still hear the roar of the village party secretary Cao Jiangang from the village committee compound. He stressed over and over again the importance of building an "activity center" to the people of Caojiazhuang.
But Cao Shujie knew in his heart that only by undertaking projects could the money enter his pocket through roundabout ways.
"Forget it, what do I want to do? I just need to take good care of my orchard." Cao Shujie came to the entrance of the village and saw Xia Changhong standing on the roadside.
He is slightly short, chubby, and has obvious features.
"Boss Xia, I'm sorry, the village committee meeting just now was delayed," Cao Shujie explained.
Xia Changhong waved his hand: "I just came here, Mr. Cao, let's go to the orchard first."
"Let's go, I'll take you there." Cao Shujie turned east at the intersection and led them towards the mountain.
When they came to the foot of the mountain, they saw that the path up the mountain was a bit uneven. Xia Changhong joked and said, "Mr. Cao, this dirt road needs to be repaired to make it easier to walk up and down the mountain in the future."
"You're right. I'll go to the village committee to look for it another day. They have to pay part of the money." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
He rented it. He paid for the water himself and the electricity company was responsible for it. The village committee had to pay some money for this road.
"I just collected my rent, and I happen to still have some money. Let's hurry up and talk to them. They will lose everything in a few days." Cao Shujie muttered in his heart.
Xia Changhong didn't know what Cao Shujie was thinking. When Cao Shujie opened the small door on the wire fence and the group entered the orchard, Xia Changhong and his people started to work.
First look at the entire orchard, and then look at the location of the well, how to dig the hole to bury the pipe, and where to press the automatic sprinkler joint.
At this time, Cao Shujie couldn't help, so he just stood aside as a spectator to see how the fruit saplings were growing in the past two days.
He also thought that after all the automatic sprinkler irrigation equipment was installed, he would first spray some nutrient solution on these fruit saplings.
"The dosage will be larger this time." Cao Shujie said to himself.
After reading it, he went to the old orchard next to it and checked it again. The nutrient solution he prepared did work.
The small fruit pods hanging on the vines here will change visible to the naked eye in two days, which makes him very happy, as if he has already seen that the fruit harvest has begun.
"Well, after a while, we have to find a way to publicize it in advance." Cao Shujie is not stupid, and he doesn't know how to "depend on the weather". How much money can he make by waiting for the fruit seller to come to buy it?
Since adding nutrient solution, this fruit can no longer be treated as an ordinary variety.
Moreover, the fruits in his orchard mature earlier than other fruit trees. What this means is that he knows better than anyone else that he must seize this window of opportunity.
"This orchard only has 7 acres of land, which is too small." Cao Shujie sighed.
After adding nutrient solution to the fruit trees, based on the yield of 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms of high-quality fruit per mu, 7 acres of land would only reach the sky with just over 40,000 kilograms of fruit!
"Don't sell it too cheaply." Cao Shujie told himself secretly.
Time passed very quickly in the rush of business, and it felt like the sun had climbed above my head not long after.
Secretary Cao looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist. It was already past eleven o'clock. He walked to Xia Changhong and the others: "Boss Xia, how are you?"
"Mr. Cao, we just discussed it and we are going to start work this afternoon," Xia Changhong said.
"There is one thing. I want us to finish it as soon as possible without affecting your use. Mr. Cao, please see if you can find some more workers in the village. Just dig ditches and place pipes according to the route we planned."
At this point, he looked at the large orchard and added: "The more people, the better. I'm thinking about finding 30 people, and it can be completed in two days at most."
The main focus of private work is efficiency. Unlike government projects, road construction, and greening, the work is slow, with little progress in a day, and it is just a waste of time.
Cao Shujie did not object and asked him: "Boss Xia, how much can one person give?"
After Xia Changhong finished the calculation, he asked: "Mr. Cao, what if a person is given 50 yuan for 10 hours a day? If he pays 100 yuan for two days, he just digs a ditch, and there is not much work."
In this way, he could control the expenditure to 3,000 yuan, saving a lot of their time.
But what he didn't expect was that Cao Shujie said: "The price is too high, 10 hours, 40 a day."
Otherwise it will be difficult for him to do it in the future.
No one's money comes from strong winds. Cao Shujie's money is already higher than the market price of their land, so there can't be any higher.
Xia Changhong didn't ask much, what was wrong with saving 10 yuan, and then agreed to follow Cao Shujie's suggestion.
"You guys get busy first, I'm going to call someone now." Cao Shujie was very happy. This was his own orchard. If he finished the work early, he still had to prepare for the next step!
