The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"How can it be the same? Look at how carefree you are now, without any pressure. I can't do that." Cao Shubin shook his head.

He really felt a lot of pressure.

He didn't need others to push him forward, he had to find a way to fight.

Standing still?

Living a stable and happy life?

Not exist!

Many rules of this society have urged you to keep moving forward since the beginning, unless you give up.

But for Cao Shubin, he has a wife, children, and a father, which makes him unable to stop.

Grandpa Cao Jianlin was drinking with his brother Cao Jianguo, holding a wine glass in one hand and eating a skewer of meat in the other.

The two brothers were closer to their children and nephews, so they naturally heard what the eldest son said. He took over the conversation: "Shubin, if you are too tired outside, come back."

"Don't you want to plant fruit trees? We still have a few acres of land at home. I also bought shares in Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative. When the time comes, you two brothers will each get a share." Cao Jianlin didn't care about these things.

He cared more about his children and grandchildren being around.

Besides, he is 70 years old this year. To put it bluntly, how many years can he live?

How much money can he spend?

These things are nothing to him, and he doesn't care at all.

Hearing what his son said just now, Cao Jianlin felt very sad.

His son has suffered since he was young. His marriage is very unfortunate. When he was young, the couple had different values ​​and separated.

From then on, he has been pulling his two sons to this day.

This life is really not easy.

Cao Shubin was stunned for a while when he heard his father's words. He raised the bottle in his hand and said, "Dad, I toast you."

After that, Cao Shubin raised his neck and gulped down the bottle of wine.

His younger brother Cao Shuxin also raised the bottle and drank it all.

After seeing this, Cao Shujie called his nephew: "Yichuan, you have no foresight at all, why don't you hurry up and get some wine for your dad and uncle."

Who knew that before his nephew Cao Yichuan could move, his son Cao Yirui walked up to Cao Shubin with a can of beer that he had pulled out from somewhere, saying: "Uncle, here."

"Oh, haha, haha!" Cao Shubin laughed and quickly bent down to take it from his nephew Cao Yirui.

When he stood up, he hugged the little guy and picked him up, letting him sit in his arms. He even kissed him twice despite his struggle.

As a result, the little guy didn't appreciate it. He kept pushing the old man's face with both hands and yelled: "Uncle, you stinky."

"Uncle, let me go, I want to get some wine."

Cao Shubin smiled even more brightly. He turned his head and looked at his cousin Cao Shujie: "Shujie, Yirui is good, he has a good eye."

After that, he looked at his son: "Unlike his brother, he has grown up for more than ten years, but he can't see this as clearly as Ruirui. I think it will be useless when he enters the society after graduation."

Cao Shujie was unmoved: "Brother, forget it, Ruirui is just scared by his sister, and is good at guessing people's thoughts. I believe this kid will be slick in the future, but I don't think he can take on responsibilities."

Hearing what his cousin said, even Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing, the two sisters-in-law, couldn't help laughing.

They pointed at Cao Yirui and said something to Cheng Xiaolin, the younger sister-in-law, and the three women started chatting.

Cao Zhenghu waved to his only great-granddaughter Mengmeng, asking her to come over, and handed her a skewer of mutton in his hand: "Mengmeng, Grandpa can't bite it, you eat it."

Cao Shujie heard it and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, wait a moment, I will grill something chewable for you right away."

Today's main dishes are beef and mutton, but there are many other matching items. Cao Shujie also specially prepared oysters and prepared to grill them.

This is also for Grandpa's consideration.

Cao Zhenghu waved his hand: "I'm not in a hurry, you eat first."

He watched the whole family gathered in the yard drinking and eating meat, and he was already very satisfied in his heart, thinking that it didn't matter if he ate less.

"Grandpa, I'll get you some juice." Mengmeng took the skewer of meat handed to her by the old grandfather, and while eating, she turned and walked into the house.

She took the freshly squeezed one from her mother. Her mother said that there was no sugar, it was not sweet, and it was a little bitter, but it was good for her grandfather.

Mengmeng finally remembered what her mother said, and wanted to show off.

This scene made the adults in the yard laugh again.

Cao Shujie put the freshly grilled skewers on a tray and handed them to his eldest brother, asking him to share some.

He went to the side to pry oysters.

That night, Cao Shujie and his friends chatted while eating, and they didn't finish eating until after 8 o'clock in the evening.

Cao Shujie had originally wanted to let his uncle and his eldest and second brothers have some tea, but his eldest brother and his second brother had not rested since they came back in the morning, and they were all tired now.

He also said that there was no rush to leave tomorrow, and if there was anything, we would talk about it tomorrow.

Cao Shujie sent his eldest and second brothers all the way to the north intersection and watched them walk south together.

He returned home, and all the tools used for the barbecue were put away, and the yard had been cleaned.

His father, Cao Jianguo, was using a hose to wash away the seasonings and oil stains left in the yard.

It was hot now, and if it wasn't washed, it would easily attract flies and insects, and it would also easily attract ants to run around.

"Dad, let me do it." Cao Shujie reached out to get the hose.

But his father dodged him: "It will be done soon, go wash up and rest first."

"I will go visit relatives with your uncle tomorrow, and your eldest and second brothers will also go, will you go?" Cao Jianguo asked him.

Cao Shujie shook his head: "I won't go, you guys go."

Cao Jianguo did not force his son: "Okay, I won't call you then."

Cao Shujie thought he would have a day off tomorrow, but Cao Jianlong called him early the next morning and said he had something urgent to talk about.

Hearing Cao Jianlong's tone, Cao Shujie became nervous. Could something have happened again?

Fortunately, Cao Jianlong's subsequent words made Cao Shujie breathe a sigh of relief.

It is already mid-to-late July, and the kiwis of Caojiazhuang Agricultural Planting Cooperative are about to mature.

According to past experience, it will take at most half a month, so Cao Jianlong will find Cao Shujie in advance to discuss the next arrangements for the kiwi harvest.

Now all fruit farmers who have invested in the agricultural planting cooperative will not care which piece of land is mine and which piece of land is his.

Even the kiwis planted in Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang are sold uniformly.

Cao Shujie thought that he still had time now, and the matter of the agricultural planting cooperative also needed to be discussed in a meeting, so he simply called the village party secretaries and village directors of the other two villages together to discuss it.

Assign the tasks in advance, so that Cao Shujie may not be busy in a while.

Cao Jianlong agreed readily.

He was responsible for contacting Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei.

When Cao Shujie arrived at the meeting room of Caojiazhuang Village Committee at around 9 o'clock, Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang, Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei were already waiting here.

They were quite excited to see Cao Shujie coming.

It can be said that Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative and Agricultural Planting Cooperative are disguised collective enterprises. Everyone has invested in them, with Caojiazhuang Village Committee as the center, and they develop together to achieve common prosperity.

After waiting for Cao Shujie to sit down, they didn't have so many details, and they went straight to the topic.

Talking about the current growth of kiwifruit and the predicted output in the future.

They mainly rely on the dividends of this wave of tourism in Caojiazhuang.

If there is no such thing, these kiwifruits will not be unsold, but will be sold to Xuemeng Food Factory.

In addition, it is also because this batch of kiwifruits is of good quality, but the price is not high, and tourists also accept it.

If the price of these kiwis is very expensive, tourists will not buy them.

When Cao Jianlong reported, Zhuang Xuejian, Zhu Hongwei and others listened carefully. After Cao Jianlong finished reporting, the two made their own supplements.

The general situation was consistent with Cao Shujie's expectations, without any deviation.

After they all finished speaking, Cao Shujie made the final summary speech.

Cao Shujie only emphasized two points, that is, we must ensure fairness and justice and provide relevant services.

There must be no forced buying and selling, and the situation of using power to pressure people.

Cao Jianlong and others nodded and agreed.

Liu Guoqiang, deputy director of Caojiazhuang, also emphasized that he would follow up on this matter.

Cao Jianlong and others knew that Liu Guoqiang was a well-known stubborn person who was not afraid of people or things. He said that he would definitely do a good job of supervision.

Several people mentioned the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative. After the cattle were sold this year, 70% of the profits would be distributed as dividends, and 30% of the profits would continue to be invested.

This was decided in the previous meeting. It is now mid-to-late July. According to experience, this batch of beef cattle can basically reach the best standard for slaughter in late October or November.

With Cao Shujie's help in laying the foundation for them, Quancheng Xinshengzhai Beef Processing Factory will come directly to purchase their beef cattle.

Moreover, Xinshengzhai will make advance payments in advance. It has been operating in this way for the past few years, so everyone feels at ease to cooperate.

Cao Shujie also told them that this year's dividend conference should be more grand.

Cao Jianlong and others naturally agreed.

They also felt that Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative had not distributed dividends for two consecutive years. For such a long time, although the people believed in them and firmly believed that the future development of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative would not be bad, the atmosphere always seemed a little dull. This year, it would be good to liven up the atmosphere while Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative distributed dividends.

Several old guys expressed their opinions and expressed their views. Some said to have a meal together to celebrate.

Some said to organize a few programs and invite a gong and drum team or a lion dance team.

Some people also said that the seven villages in which Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative holds shares got together to have a good time.

But they couldn't say how it would be so good.

When Cao Shujie was about to leave, Zhuang Xuejian suddenly suggested asking if they should hold a big market in Caojiazhuang. They also happened to invite a troupe to perform in Caojiazhuang for three consecutive days.

This is also a unique atmosphere here.

When some villages hold a market, the locals will invite a troupe to perform and make it lively.

However, in recent years, with the development of various electronic entertainment products, people are no longer interested in listening to opera.

But the elderly in the countryside still like to listen, and being able to open a market in the village also shows that this place occupies a very important position.

Even Cao Shujie hadn't thought about this problem.

In a sense, Caojiazhuang has always been a disguised market since tourism became popular.

It's just that other markets will rotate, but Caojiazhuang has always been there, and many tourists consume here every day.

Hearing Zhuang Xuejian's suggestion, even Cao Jianlong began to ponder.

Deep down, Cao Jianlong thought Zhuang Xuejian's suggestion was very good.

The next moment, Cao Jianlong looked at Cao Shujie and asked anxiously, "Shujie, what do you think?"

This urgent tone also represented Cao Jianlong's opinion.

Cao Shujie thought about it and said to Cao Jianlong and Liu Guoqiang: "Uncle Long, Uncle Qiang, how about we discuss it and invite a troupe to join in the fun?"

Hearing Cao Shujie's words, Cao Jianlong slapped the table happily on the spot and said excitedly: "Then let's do it."

Liu Guoqiang didn't say anything else.

"We still have to hold a meeting to pass it." Cao Shujie reminded.

But Cao Jianlong added: "What meeting? You, Shujie of Caojiazhuang, have the final say."

Cao Shujie thought to himself, if you say so, Caojiazhuang will become my one-man show?

He is not interested in such a thing.

And this matter involves the entire Caojiazhuang, and the whole village also needs all the villagers to vote together to decide.

After the meeting, Cao Jianlong immediately sent this notice in the Caojiazhuang village affairs group, and explained to everyone in the group that they were going to invite a troupe to Caojiazhuang to set up a stage to perform and open a Caojiazhuang market.

What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that the villagers in the village supported this suggestion very much, and the discussion in the group was quite lively.

Someone even sent a voice message in the group, calling out, "Is there anyone who wants to go to Caojiazhuang Market together?"

Cao Shujie also clicked on his voice message and listened to it several times. He could hear the joy and pride from the other party's voice message.

At this time, Cao Shujie realized that although Caojiazhuang's economy was developing very well, because they were developing too fast, from another perspective, cultural construction had not kept up.

This just shows that Caojiazhuang still lacks some internal things.

This also made Cao Shujie realize what he should do next.

He sent a message to Cao Jianlong alone and told him his ideas.

In response to this matter, Cao Jianlong was very positive, which was beyond Cao Shujie's expectations.

The news that Caojiazhuang was going to open a market spread quickly in the village, and even Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang had spread it. While they envied Caojiazhuang for opening a market, they also hoped that the market would open as soon as possible, so that it would be convenient for some people in their village to go out to the market.

Many people also thought of another question. If the market can be opened in Caojiazhuang, can they also openly set up stalls and sell things in Caojiazhuang under the name of the market?

There are so many tourists coming to Caojiazhuang to play. If they don't catch this flow of traffic, they will feel sorry for themselves.

Cao Shujie actually thought of their idea, but Cao Shujie was also pretending to be confused.

There is no such thing as 100% in this world. It is better to turn a blind eye and everyone will be happy.

Moreover, the opening of the Caojiazhuang market will eventually generate greater profits in Caojiazhuang. Caojiazhuang will benefit the most, and the people of Caojiazhuang will also benefit the most.

The brothers Cao Jianlin and Cao Jianguo brought the brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin back from visiting. When they heard that Caojiazhuang was going to open a market, they were also a little confused.

They hadn't heard about this when they left in the morning, but who knew that it would be lively again when they came back.

And because this matter was related to Cao Shujie, they pulled Cao Shujie over to ask him as soon as possible.

After learning the cause and effect, they also supported it.

They all think that Caojiazhuang will become more and more lively in the future, which just shows that Caojiazhuang is developing better and better now. (End of this chapter)
