The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 117 Continuing to Contract the Mountains
You must not smash your business in front of your brothers, this is the bottom line!

Cao Tiemin thought so in his heart.

Cao Shujie didn't know this. He came out of his new home with four dogs, his wife and daughter, turned the corner and went up the hill along the sloping road to take a look at the orchard.

The kiwis in the old orchard are all picked, and there are still two acres of apples hanging on the branches. When you get closer, you can smell a faint apple fragrance, which is very similar to the smell of childhood.

Compared with most other unbagged apples that grow crooked melons and cracked dates, the apples from Cao Shujie's two acres of land are not bad in terms of appearance.

Looking at the glowing red apple, Cao Shujie felt the desire to take a bite.

Mengmeng followed him, and when she saw these apples, she hugged her father's leg and jumped around, wanting to pick one and eat it too.

"Dad, give it to me." She pointed to a slightly larger apple and said.

Cao Shujie told her: "Wait a little longer, it doesn't taste good now, you wait another two weeks, it will be delicious then."

Cheng Xiaolin was curious and asked him, "Shujie, is this the difference between bagged and unbagged apples?"

Bagged apples also entered the market with the mass picking of kiwi fruit some time ago, and some people bought them. The apples looked beautiful, but they tasted crisp and raw, with astringent flesh, not to mention the aroma, and not enough sweetness.

What's more terrible is that those pretty-looking apples are unpalatable, and they still sell for six or seven yuan a catty. The price of high-quality apples is naturally more expensive, which is really annoying.

Cao Shujie smiled: "My wife, it's useless to say anything now, you wait for another two weeks, until it is naturally ripe, I don't need to say whether it tastes good or not."

"Hmph, look at your complacency, what's so great about it." Cheng Xiaolin turned her head and walked towards the new fruit tree seedling garden with Mengmeng who frequently looked back at Apple.

She has seen her mother-in-law wearing a straw hat made of bamboo, busy there.

When Mengmeng walked a little closer, she opened her mouth and shouted loudly: "Grandma."

"Mengmeng, Linlin, why are you here? It's such a hot day, didn't you tell you to wait at home." Wang Yuelan said.

"Mom, it's okay. If you can come, why can't we come?" Cheng Xiaolin went over and knelt down to work with her mother-in-law.

Mengmeng is playing by herself.

There is nothing sharp on the ground here, so I am really not afraid of her getting hurt.

"Shujie is back?" Wang Yuelan straightened her body and slowly bent her waist, which caused numbness, and asked.

"Well, he just came back for a while, and we went to see the decoration of the house together. Brother Min said that everything will be finished this month." Cheng Xiaolin said.

"Then you can move there years ago?" Wang Yuelan asked her.

"Well, more or less, Shujie and I discussed going to look at the furniture and home appliances after the busy days." Cheng Xiaolin thought about this, and she said, "If everything goes well, we can move there before the Spring Festival."

"Mom, where's my dad?" Cao Shujie came from the apple orchard, but didn't see his dad.

Wang Yuelan pointed to the side where the calves were raised: "Your father is going there again to mix feed, you should go and have a look."

"Yeah!" Cao Shujie nodded and walked over there.

As he walked closer, Cao Shujie heard the sound of the mixer turning.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse, I saw his dad was pouring corn, bean cakes, and other ingredients into the blender, and the whole room was full of floating dust.

He walked over, regardless of whether the clothes fit or not, picked up a bag of corn from the ground, tore off the rope at the mouth of the bag, and put it into the blender. Immediately after that, a wave of dirty things rushed out from the feed port of the blender. Cao Shujie was the first to bear the brunt. On, face and coat are full of dust.

"Shujie, what are you doing so fast? You don't know how to change into suitable clothes when you come to work." Cao Jianguo didn't know what to say to his son.

Cao Shujie didn't think too much about it, he said, "Dad, I just came back, and I came here before I had a drink. Why didn't you tell me in advance when you were making feed today."

"Is there any need to talk about this?" Cao Jianguo asked him.

Cao Shujie stopped talking, let's work!
With Cao Shujie joining, the two of them can work much faster.

Cao Shujie couldn't remember how many bags of corn he poured into the blender. He felt that the bags of corn that he held tightly with his hands were all worn away by the skin on his fingertips by the fertilizer bag.

I also forgot how long it took to work. After Cao Jianguo turned on the mixer, the father and father finally stopped to take a breath. Only then did Cao Shujie feel pain and numbness in his arms and hands, as if they were not his own.

"Dad, I'm really useless. It's useless to do such a little work." Cao Shujie laughed at himself.

When Cao Jianguo heard what his son said, he raised his shovel with both hands and was about to slap him: "Shujie, you're just lazy, just do more work and everything will be fine."

Cao Shujie didn't listen to his father.

The father and father were busy for a while, and after finishing the rest, Cao Jianguo said something: "Shujie, didn't you say before that you want to contract another piece of mountain land to raise cattle, pigs, and sheep? I think you It's better to wrap up the piece next door now, and while it's not busy, find a few more people to dig out the ground, plant special pasture grass, put pigs, cattle and sheep in it for free-range breeding, and save the grass Cut them off and feed them, what do you think?"

"Dad, we want to go together." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

He said: "I just went to see a flower seller today, and I also went to see the farm machinery seller in Qingshi Town. I ordered two lawn mowers, and they will be delivered in a few days."

"Why do you buy flowers? You want to grow flowers again?" Cao Jianguo felt that he could not understand his son's thinking.

Out of concern for his son, he still asked a few more questions to understand the situation.

He was afraid that his son would go further and further down the road of not doing his job properly.

Cao Shujie didn't think much about it. The two of them came out of the warehouse together. At this moment, their bodies were covered with dust, their faces and hair were all gray, but they didn't care.

Cao Shujie pointed to the large exposed land and said to his father: "Dad, I plan to plant flowers in those places, all kinds of flowers, and after they bloom, add fruit trees and flowers, how beautiful you said. "

Cao Jianguo was not in a daze, he asked: "I got a lot of money, do you think it is necessary?"

The implication is, if it is not necessary, don't spend this money, save it, there are still many places to spend money later!
Cao Shujie disagreed, and he said directly: "Dad, don't underestimate the flowers and plants I want to plant."

"Let me put it this way." Cao Shujie paused for a moment, and continued: "This time the picking is actually not perfect. I guess many people have seen the environment here. Even if the kiwis I grow are delicious, they will I don’t want to come a second time, do you believe it?”

Cao Jianguo subconsciously wanted to say 'I don't believe it', but after thinking about it carefully, what his son said made sense.

At that time, when selling kiwi fruit, many people asked if there was a better environment around them when weighing it.
The implication is that they feel that the environment on the side of the orchard on the mountain is not good enough.

If it weren't for the kiwi fruit picking, none of them would have come.

Cao Jianguo also wanted to understand this, he nodded and said, "You can buy it."

"When will I plant flowers? I haven't planted them yet. How about finding a few more people?" Cao Jianguo asked him.

Cao Shujie shook his head: "Dad, there is no need to find someone. They will do it when the time comes."

"It's the wrong way to save a lot of money." Cao Jianguo was very happy.

But who knew that his son would then say: "Dad, you're overthinking. I'll pay for the money. They just arranged for professional people to come over."

"That's better than looking for people in the village who don't know anything. They will be blind by then. Isn't the money wasted?" Cao Jianguo said.

It is true that some money must be spent, but it cannot be spent in vain.

After finishing these tasks, it was almost dark.

For the next few days, Cao Shujie and his father Cao Jianguo were busy in the orchard.

I also hired 35 people to clean up all the grass in the orchard at the cost of 8 yuan and 10 hours of work.

Gather up the grass and feed it to the calves. After a quick look, I feel that the fruit tree seedlings look much better.

When he went to Cao Jiangang's house with two bottles of wine, Cao Shujie happened to see Cao Jiangang drinking alone at home. He was very puzzled and asked Cao Jiangang, "Master Jiangang, what are you doing? You have to have a companion when you drink. Drinking alcohol can easily cause problems for the body."

"Oh, Shujie, do you know how to look at faces?" Cao Jiangang, who was not yet drunk, asked him.

Cao Shujie shook his head and smiled, "Master Jiangang, to be honest, I can't drink, but I'm good at pouring."

"You boy, you have so many ghosts." Cao Jiangang pointed at him and couldn't help laughing.

But to be honest, Cao Shujie can be regarded as the number one person in Caojiazhuang now, and Cao Jiangang never thought that the world would change so quickly.

"Shujie, sit down quickly." Cao Jiangang said with a wave.

"You came to see me today, what's the matter?" Cao Jiangang asked him.

"Are you thinking of going to the village committee to use the loudspeaker, or something else?" Cao Jiangang said with the expression that if you don't speak, I will know what you fart.

Cao Shujie was amused.

"Uncle Jiangang, to tell you the truth, I'm thinking of renting out the area next to my mountain land for breeding." Cao Shujie said bluntly.

It can be seen that what Cao Shujie said surprised Cao Jiangang, and he asked, "Are you really going to contract that piece?"

"Shujie, I think it's better than anything else if you plant the orchard well. Farming is not easy. If you really screw up, you will lose a lot of money." Cao Jiangang shook his head.

This made Cao Shujie very surprised, and subconsciously asked him: "Master Jiangang, what happened?"

"Hey, I didn't expect your Uncle Jianhua to be overwhelmed so soon." Cao Jiangang looked a little tired, and he picked up his glass and took another sip. He said, "It's a coincidence. If you come earlier to have two When I was young, I could meet your Uncle Jianhua face to face."

"What is he doing here?" Cao Shujie didn't want to understand.

Ever since Cao Jianhua leased the mountainous land to the south for breeding, Cao Shujie never cared about the situation there.

Hearing Cao Shujie's curious inquiry, Cao Jiangang's expression was a bit complicated, and he sighed: "Your Uncle Hua is too anxious, he did it too fast, and he didn't grasp it. Now I feel that funds are tight."

This statement made Cao Shujie very speechless, he didn't know what to say.
