"Uncle Jianfang, don't run back and forth." Cao Shujie wanted to stop him.
But Cao Jianfang insisted on seeing it, and Cao Shujie stopped trying to persuade him.
After all, Mengmeng was a child. She couldn't stay any longer. Seeing her father and this grandpa still chatting, she secretly ran forward while holding Erha's hand.
When Cao Shujie saw it, he quickly said a few words to Cao Jianfang, then led Daha to pursue his daughter.
"Mengmeng, please slow down."
"Dad, hurry up!"
The father and daughter said exactly the opposite, which made Cao Shujie dumbfounded.
I see other people's girls being quite quiet, but why are they so naughty when they come to his place?
Something unexpected happened to Cao Shujie. The father and daughter continued walking north and met several villagers, three of whom were looking for him to inquire about his father's injury.
Cao Shujie was particularly puzzled. Is this a good thing that doesn't go out, but a bad thing that spreads thousands of miles?
Thinking about this, Cao Shujie strode forward. After catching up with his daughter Mengmeng, he said to her: "Mengmeng, why are you running so fast?"
"What are you doing?" Mengmeng turned her head and glanced at her father, then took a pair of short legs and continued to run forward while holding Erha.
Daha and Erha were locked in a cage last night and suffered a night of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. They were really frightened. Now that they are released, they must run hard to get rid of the depression and excess in their hearts.
All the energy was vented.
"Oh woo..."
"Oh...oh...oh...woof"
A sound similar to howling wolves sounded, and they arrived at the north end of Caojiazhuang without knowing it. Turning to the east and looking at the mountain, Cao Shujie had an idea in his mind, first repair the road.
The two of them came over in the rain in the early morning. When they were going down the mountain, their father fell down on the road. Fortunately, he did not suffer any fractures, otherwise Cao Shujie would feel even more guilty.
"Mengmeng, let's go to the foot of the mountain and have a look." Cao Shujie said to his daughter.
He didn't expect his daughter to give any feedback, but who knew that Mengmeng would say: "Dad, no, mom said, you can't go, grandpa fell down."
She pointed to her leg and gestured: "My mother told me to go, and my leg broke!"
He kept saying "Mom said", and with a little childishness when speaking, Cao Shujie was immediately confused by what he said.
"Is this what your mother said?" Cao Shujie asked her.
Seeing his daughter nodding seriously, Cao Shujie really wanted to give his wife a thumbs up.
After thinking about it for a moment, Cao Shujie understood what was going on.
It must be that his mother came to the mountain to release water in the morning. When Mengmeng saw her grandma going out, she thought she was out to play and had to follow her.
The next moment, Cao Shujie said to her: "Mengmeng, it's okay. Let's just take a look at the foot of the mountain and not go up."
"Oh!" Mengmeng didn't understand, and her eyes were a little confused.
But I still know how to follow my father.
When he got closer, Cao Shujie saw there was water in front of him. He first held his daughter in his arms, then stepped on the waterless ground to the foot of the mountain, and looked up at the diagonally upward stretch of less than a mile.
Slope, thinking about the scene of the two of them struggling down here in the early morning.
Cao Shujie didn't want the same thing to happen again, so he found a dry place to put his daughter down, took out his cell phone and called Cao Zhenggang, asking him about road construction.
Cao Zhenggang works in engineering, so even if he can't do it himself, he can help introduce a familiar person.
Just as Cao Shujie thought, Cao Zhenggang didn't have the corresponding equipment and couldn't do the job, but he introduced someone to Cao Shujie who could do the job and promised that the price would not be high.
"Grandpa Zhenggang, after you finish your work over there, hurry up and come to my side." Cao Shujie warned him.
Cao Zhenggang responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, we will leave in three or four days after this point is dealt with."
"Dad, let's go home and find mom." Mengmeng felt that it was boring here, and she was a little impatient when she saw that her dad was about to call again.
Cao Shujie said "Ouch" and was so busy with his own affairs that he forgot about his daughter.
"Let's go home first!" Cao Shujie put down his cell phone. He hugged his daughter and walked back with Daha and Erha in his hands.
It doesn't take long to make a phone call.
After returning home, he asked his wife to look at Mengmeng first. Cao Shujie dialed the phone number just now. After waiting for someone on the other side to answer the phone, he asked directly: "Hello, is this Master Tian Xinhuatian?"
"I am, who are you?" The person opposite sounded carefree.
Cao Shujie introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, Master Tian. Grandpa Cao Zhenggang introduced you to me. I want to find out something from you."
"Hey, it's Uncle Cao. Tell me if you have anything." When Tian Xinhua heard the name 'Cao Zhenggang', his tone became a little cordial.
Cao Shujie thought that it was good to be in the countryside, and he could find connections everywhere.
"Master Tian, I want to build a 450-meter slope mountain road according to the standards of rural roads. Please give me a price." Cao Shujie said.
"By the way, there is an orchard on the mountain. I also want to build a hardened platform on it to make it easier for vehicles to turn."
This was something Cao Shujie had planned a long time ago. He considered that no matter what he did, even if he might have to spend a little more money at the beginning, he would get it right in one step.
If the second job is delayed, it won’t save any money!
"450 meters, right, plus a turning platform?" Tian Xinhua said to himself on the phone, sounding like he was settling accounts. After almost a minute, he said: "100,000 is enough, specifically
You have to go and see it on site.”
"In addition, building mountain roads and peaceful roads is not the same thing. There are many problems that are difficult to solve. We have to see them on site before talking about them," he said.
Cao Shujie expressed his understanding: "I know this, Master Tian. I'm in Caojiazhuang. Come over when you have time. Let's talk face to face."
"Then I'll go there in the afternoon!" Tian Xinhua said.
…
Tian Xinhua came as he said, and he was not ambiguous at all. After meeting Cao Shujie, the two of them went straight up the mountain. Looking at the muddy path and the messy footprints on the path, Tian Xinhua also frowned.
"Mr. Cao, your place needs to be leveled first, with gravel, cement, and sand..."
The suggestion given by Tian Xinhua is to build a strip that is 5 meters wide and 15 centimeters thick.
Cao Shujie didn't understand this. After asking for detailed data, he finally asked Tian Xinhua: "What if the road width is built to 4 meters?"
"It's useless. You go up to build a turning platform. There is no need for two-way merging lanes on this road. For ordinary cars, 5 meters is enough for two-way parallel traffic." Tian Xinhua said straightforwardly.
At this time, Cao Shujie believed what Cao Zhenggang said, and Tian Xinhua's offer should not be too high.
The two of them walked up the mountain on the muddy road together. In the orchard, Cao Shujie told Tian Xinhua the general scope of the platform.
Tian Xinhua recalculated the price and finally said to Cao Shujie: "Mr. Cao, Uncle Cao and I have been friends for a long time. Our family is also from Qingshi Town. I built many roads in our area, and I won't lie to you.
The fixed price is 98,000 yuan. If you have quality problems in the future, you can come to me directly."
"If it works, I'll arrange for someone to come over and do it right away tomorrow."
"Okay!" Cao Shujie agreed happily. The price did not exceed his budget, okay!
