The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Cao Shuchao came to Cao Shujie early in the morning and told him about the upcoming village committee election.

According to common sense, the village committee election should be the biggest event in any village, but it is not the case in Caojiazhuang.

Whether compared with Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative, agricultural planting cooperative, or tourism company, the village committee election should be put behind.

In addition to the village committee election, Cao Shuchao also discussed with Cao Shujie about selling cattle in the farm.

Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative has purchased 6,000 cows since the end of 2015. With this as the base, after nearly 8 years of development, the calves of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative are now bred by the farm itself.

The overall breeding scale has long exceeded the previous 8,000 heads per year and has reached about 15,000 heads.

With the increase in quantity, the decrease in cost and the increase in profit ratio, the dividends of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative are now far greater than before.

"Brother Chao, is Mr. Xu from Xinshengzhai here?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Shuchao told Cao Shujie: "Boss Xu came yesterday, and he said that we should follow the rules of previous years."

"That's fine, I won't take care of this matter, you just keep an eye on it." Cao Shujie said.

"Boss Xu wants to talk to you." Cao Shuchao said.

Cao Shujie wondered, what did Xu Qingming want to talk to him about?

"Where is he?" Cao Shujie asked.

"Yesterday, he saw that you were not in the village, and he left again. He said that he would come to see you after you came back." Cao Shuchao said.

"Then you call him, I'll wait for him." Cao Shujie said.

Since 2015, they have been cooperating with Hequancheng Xinshengzhai Beef Processing Factory.

And over the years, Xu Qingming has always paid most of the funds first, and has never made Cao Shujie embarrassed in payment.

Because of this, Cao Shujie likes to cooperate with him very much.

After Cao Shuchao finished the call, he came back and told Cao Shujie that Xu Qingming would come in the afternoon.

Cao Shujie nodded, indicating that he understood.

The two chatted for a while about the election in a few days. Cao Shuchao knew what was going on, so he said goodbye to Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie was thinking about something, and the phone on the side began to vibrate.

He took it and saw that it was a WeChat group message, which was set to vibrate by Cao Shujie.

He opened the group chat and saw Cao Zhen, Cao Shuyang, Cao Shulun and others were chatting.

Cao Shujie did not rush to join the topic, but watched silently for a while. Several people seemed to be doing well.

However, when he saw Cao Tiemin expressed his intention to sell the county's decoration company and return to Caojiazhuang for retirement, Cao Shujie ended his lurking. He was not surprised that Cao Tiemin had just said that he wanted to sell the decoration company.

The main reason was that real estate had been declining in the past two years, and the real estate industry was sluggish, and related industries also followed suit. Decoration companies were just one of them.

If fewer houses are bought, who will decorate them?

Moreover, many people are doing simple decoration now, and they don't hire decoration companies. They can save some money by directly finding someone to decorate.

In this case, Cao Tiemin's business is not easy to do.

Originally, he could still take some government jobs and some unit jobs, but after 18 years, many companies are not doing well. Although they can still find him to work, they are not as happy to settle accounts as before.

As for the government projects, many people are afraid to take them now. Everyone knows that they have to be prepared for not being able to settle accounts in the next few years.

Others don’t know, but Cao Shujie knows very well that the Pingyuan County Government has just sold him part of the shares of the steel ball factory and the flour mill, cashing out 20 million yuan of funds for the normal financial expenditure of Pingyuan County.

This is a poisonous way to quench thirst, and there is no other way.

So at this time, if you take government projects, you have to weigh it yourself and see if your foundation is strong.

It is precisely because Cao Tiemin saw this and learned some information from his childhood friend Cao Shujie that he now really feels that it is better to go back to his hometown to earn more money than to work in this decoration company.

More importantly, it is easier to get by in his hometown. You don’t have to worry as much as you do now. It’s okay if you don’t make money, but you have to lose money yourself.

To put it bluntly, the government still owes him a balance of more than 200,000 yuan.

But Cao Tiemin also knew that the probability of getting the money back was not high.

They didn't say they would not give it, they just dragged it.

Cao Tiemin felt that this world was really getting harder and harder to survive.

"Tiemin, are you really going to come back?" Cao Shujie asked him.

No one expected that Cao Shujie would show up again.

"Go back, if you don't go back, you will almost have no money to eat." Cao Tiemin said.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all. Everyone knew what happened in the past few years.

Not to mention his side, the Xinjiang Restaurant opened by Cao Zhen in the five-star department store in the city is not as good as before.

Especially during the first two years of the epidemic, I couldn't go out at all, and there were few people eating.

During those two years, Cao Zhen was also struggling.

Rent had to be paid, employees' salaries had to be paid, and other aspects had to continue to be maintained.

He used to make real money. From the first year of opening Xinjiang Hotel to the best years 20 years ago, Xinjiang Hotel brought him a seven-digit profit every year.

But Cao Zhen didn't expect that YQ would make him lose all the money in the first two years.

The key is that he continued to spend money and rarely made any money.

At that time, Cao Zhen was also confused and never thought that such a situation would happen.

Fortunately, he still has a Caojiazhuang branch. Regardless of the store in the city, the Caojiazhuang branch brings him a lot of revenue every year and allows him to survive.

Now Cao Zhen also feels tired.

Not to mention that Cao Tiemin wanted to return to Caojiazhuang for development, even he had the idea to close the store in the city and just return to Caojiazhuang to run that store well.

Even though Caojiazhuang is really busy only for half a year, there is no need to pay rent there. Although the rest of the time is not busy, there is still business. I can earn a little bit here and there, which is enough to maintain the normal operation of the hotel, so there is no problem. .

"Tiemin, what you said makes me want to go back," Cao Zhen said.

This was one of the few times that Cao Zhen expressed his true feelings in front of Fa Xiao.

In the past, he felt so embarrassed. Among these people, except Cao Shujie, he felt that he was the best one.

At that time, I really felt like there was a new world outside.

It's a pity that this piece of heaven has been missed.

It was just a casual chat at first, but no one expected that Cao Tiemin would make a start, and Cao Zhen also wanted to return to Caojiazhuang to develop.

This is just the beginning. Cao Fei is still shouting in the group: "You don't know, it has been difficult to work in supermarkets and shopping malls in recent years. No matter how you promote it, you just offer discounts. The discounts are huge, but no one comes."

"Especially this year, I feel it's even harder. No one comes out to spend money." Cao Fei was also very distressed when he talked about this. He works in a shopping mall. The turnover of the shopping mall is the basis of everything. Don't talk about shopping malls now. I can’t even see much money or turnover, let alone other things.

Because of this, they are now unable to pay wages on time, let alone bonuses.

After working so hard, his income in the end was not proportional to what he expected. Cao Fei was now feeling disheartened.

Thinking of going back to Caojiazhuang.

Not to mention anything else, at least back in the village, there are still dividends from Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative and Agricultural Planting Cooperative, and they also have shares in the Xinjiang Hotel opened by Cao Zhen in Caojiazhuang. Even if it is worse, they still have some. A sum of money.

If you sell your house and go back to the village, you can live a retirement life in an instant.

Wait until the tourist season, and then go out and set up stalls. You can make some money. If you don't want to make money, just rest at home.

When the tourism in the village is off-season, they go out to find places to travel, which is perfect for traveling at staggered times with dense crowds. Those days are beautiful just thinking about them.

Cao Shujie watched their chat and thought that it had only been a few years. In the past, everyone was high-spirited and felt that they were their own protagonists. Now that they are better, they all want to come back and develop.

"Come back as soon as you come back. There is nothing to hesitate about. It's great to live in Caojiazhuang. You can be in the garden every day. I dare not say anything else. The food and drink are all clean. Nothing is better than being outside." Cao Shujie advise them.

This is true. Their family also built a two-story building, surrounded by flower beds and green plants, and there were fruit trees planted in the yard. They lived a happy life.

Every time they go back to their hometown now, thoughts that they don't want to come up with come up in their minds.

Especially Cao Tiemin and Cao Fei, who had previously expressed their desire to return to their hometown.

But this time it accelerated their desire to go back.

On the contrary, Cao Shulun and Cao Shuyang were speechless.

Cao Shulun still works at a central enterprise chemical factory, and Cao Shuyang works at a highway toll station.

Everyone also said that the two of them had an iron rice bowl.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Shulun muttered: "It's a shameful iron rice bowl. Now this bowl of rice is not delicious. Our factory doesn't give overtime pay for overtime work. All overtime shifts are taken off. I originally I hope I can earn more by working overtime. How can I earn without this dollar?”

"Damn it, is your company like this too?" Cao Tiemin looked surprised.

He said in a teasing tone: "Shulun, you are the subsidiary company of a central enterprise."

"Sunzi's company is pretty much the same. It just has a nice name but it's useless. It's not making any money right now. The factory is very strict with inspections now, especially in our department where there are audits every day. It's like going to jail. It's annoying to death." "Cao Shulun was full of resentment.

Cao Shujie looked at him grumbling here and thought to himself that all the brothers can do it. They can hide quite deeply. Usually, they can just let him hang out outside. No one is worse than the other. It will be fine now. Everything is fine. Come out and complain in the group.

"That's right, we are the same. The investigation has become more and more severe recently. The head office issued a document and all of us are not allowed to have registered companies in our names. You are not allowed to do other things outside. I used to work part-time, but now it's bullshit."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm already familiar with Director Zhao of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. Director Zhao even called me two days ago and said why he has me for everything. Damn it, grandma. The key is that I even took the blame for others this year. You know, right? It’s no good, and it makes you feel embarrassed.” After seeing the message sent by Cao Shulun, Cao Shuyang, who had not spoken much, couldn’t hold back anymore and started to complain.
