The sun rises and the moon sets, and it’s a new day.
At Cao Jiangang's house, Cao Shujie came over with two bottles of good wine and a box of pure milk.
Seeing Cao Shujie coming over with something, Cao Jiangang felt happy, thinking that even though Cao Shujie was young, he was still good at getting things done.
But he said: "Shujie, come as soon as you come, what else can you bring?"
He asked Cao Shujie to sit down and asked his wife to make a pot of tea: "Shujie, sit down quickly."
"Uncle, aunt, please stop working so hard. I'll come over and ask you something and then leave." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Jiangang asked subconsciously: "What's going on?"
After Cao Shujie revealed the purpose of his coming, Cao Jiangang would rather he never came!
Cao Shujie actually came to ask him for money. This result was unexpected and caught Cao Jiangang off guard!
"Shujie, are you right?" Cao Jiangang asked him with a sullen face.
At this moment, Cao Shujie was as thick-skinned as a pot. If he could really ask for some money, he wouldn't care about face.
"Uncle, everything I said is true." Cao Shujie's face was full of sincerity.
He said: "Look, I have contracted more than 80 acres of mountainous land, and basic facilities such as water, electricity, and roads should be taken care of by the village committee, right?"
Cao Jiangang nodded subconsciously, but then he realized that Cao Shujie was trying to trick him, and he really didn't deserve to be a man.
The next moment, Cao Jiangang was also shameless, shook his head and said: "Do you need money? The village is so poor that it's almost hard to get rid of the blame. The village turns on street lights and builds cultural activity centers, but it still benefits from you. Where can I get money to build roads for you?"
?”
"Besides, you have already taken care of the water yourself, and asked the Electricity Bureau to set up the electricity lines. Why can't you think of ways to take care of the roads as well?" Cao Jiangang said.
For a moment, Cao Shujie felt that he had really refreshed his understanding of these people.
How could Cao Jiangang have the nerve to open his mouth when he imposes his own responsibilities on the contractor?
"Uncle, you see there are street lights in the village now, so it doesn't cost that much money to build the cultural activity center, right? I don't want much, you can give me a subsidy of ten thousand or eight thousand, and the village committee just needs to express its will, and the rest will be fine
I'll figure it out myself, okay?" Cao Shujie had this idea.
He knew very well in his heart that even if he was kicked hard, nothing would come out of him.
Looking at Cao Jiangang's glare, he didn't hesitate at all and continued: "Uncle, don't worry. I will repair that section of the uphill and downhill path. Will it be more convenient to go up and down the mountain in the future?"
"If I want to do some chores there, do I have to give priority to people from our village?"
"When the road is repaired, it will be easier for the older people to ride their bikes up there to work instead of walking. Even now, it is difficult for the young and older people to walk up there. Who will be thinking about it then?"
"All I have to say is that the village committee helped repair the road, and everyone is still thinking of you!"
Cao Shujie said nothing about repairing the road. He was the biggest beneficiary. He loudly stated the fact: "After all, I am still the contractor. Who does this road belong to?"
"In the end, it's from the village, I'm just using it temporarily now!"
Cao Jiangang felt that Cao Shujie was right, but the village committee really didn’t have much money. Besides, he was old, so he didn’t pretend to be a fool, nor did he act like an old fool: “Shujie, you don’t have to go around. The village committee really has no money.
.”
Speaking of this, Cao Jiangang sighed: "The first-phase contracting fee of 100,000 yuan you gave me seems a lot, but it is 10 years of rent. Spend a little here and a little there. It's not worth it at all."
Jing Hua.”
"Our village has no other major source of income except the allocation from the government. I don't know if the street lights in the village can last until you pay the next contract fee. Why don't you give me some money in advance?"
"Uncle, don't bother me!" Cao Shujie heard that he wanted to ask for the next contract fee in advance, so he definitely wouldn't do it.
He thought about it for a while and then asked: "Uncle, should the town provide subsidies for road construction?"
Cao Jiangang knew what he was thinking, and waved his hand to interrupt his thoughts: "Shujie, don't think too much, the town is not rich either, you will definitely make money if you manage the orchard well, at most there will be some subsidies from above.
I'll try my best to fight for you, and it won't cost much to build that section of road, so you can bear it yourself, okay?"
"Hey!" Cao Shujie asked with a smile: "Uncle, how much money can I get from this subsidy?"
"You kid!" Cao Jiangang thought before that this kid was courageous, good at getting things done, and a good person, but now he felt a headache when he saw Cao Shujie.
This is good, after only a few days, I was chasing him for money.
"You have a total of 85 acres of mountainous land over there. You can apply for afforestation subsidies and return farmland to forests. Don't think too much. One acre of land only costs 200 yuan a year." Cao Jiangang said.
After hearing this, Cao Shujie muttered: "It's still 17,000 yuan, which is better than having to pay for all the road construction myself."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Jiangang: "Uncle, you also know that I have invested too much recently and my money is tight. Look at what materials I need to submit. The sooner I can get the money, the better."
"Fuck!" Cao Jiangang shouted angrily in his heart, but he still had to suppress his temper: "I'll go to town to get a stamp, and I have to apply to the Forestry Bureau for this."
"Forestry Bureau?" Cao Shujie was stunned.
Seeing Cao Jiangang nodding, he followed up and said: "Uncle, if you want to go to the Forestry Bureau, I am familiar with this matter. My best friend has connections in the Forestry Bureau."
"Really or not? Shujie, if you are an ordinary relative, it is not easy to handle this kind of thing. You need help from the village committee." Cao Jian reminded him.
In fact, he also wanted to get some benefits, and he would be embarrassed if he just reached out and took it without working.
Cao Shujie said with a smile: "It's hard to say anything else, but if it's the Forestry Bureau, this relationship will work."
Half an hour later, Cao Shujie and Cao Jiangang agreed on the details. The village committee still had to help him prepare some information. Cao Shujie was not pedantic and would give him some benefits.
Cao Jiangang nodded repeatedly, patted his chest and said it was no problem.
In addition to this matter, Cao Shujie and the Caojiazhuang Village Committee represented by Cao Jiangang have negotiated another matter, a new contract. After the contract for the mountainous area expires, Cao Shujie will continue to contract.
Thirty years later, even if the current village committee members are gone, Cao Shujie believes that with his strength at that time, he is not afraid of the next wave of people playing tricks.
Most of the time, people rely on themselves.
…
At home, Cheng Xiaolin and her mother-in-law Wang Yuelan were playing with Mengmeng in the yard. Daha and Erha finally got out of the dog cage today and regained their freedom.
The two brothers were also running around in the yard. When they saw the little master Mengmeng dragging the fake dog around, Daha ran up and slapped the fake dog with his paw, making the fake dog roll.
But because the other end of the rope was still held in Mengmeng's hand, the puppy toy came into contact with the ground during the rolling process. The force of the slap was too strong and squeezed the buttons, and the music sounded. Mengmeng heard the music.
She wasn't angry, she was quite happy.
"Little dog, come again." Mengmeng shouted, she thought it was fun.
Erha was originally worried that the eldest brother would be beaten if he angered the little master because of his mean claws, but who knew that the eldest brother would be fine? The little master seemed quite happy.
He wandered around in a circle with his dog eyes, and ran over before his elder brother and patted his paws.
