The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"Our dad wants to buy a calf?" Cao Shujie also had a happy expression on his face.

"So, he's doing pretty well now."

Cheng Xiaolin looked at Cao Shujie with eyes that seemed to turn into water. She nodded: "Absolutely. My dad said that at most after the Chinese New Year this year, he won't let my brother work outside. When he comes home, the two of us will make one together." In a bigger place, if you work hard at home, you will definitely make more money than working outside."

"Can Yunping agree?" Cao Shujie thought about his brother-in-law's character and always felt that this idea was unreliable.

His brother-in-law works in the city. After getting used to that kind of living environment, it is quite rare for them to return to the countryside to work hard!

Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin are a special case.

To put it bluntly, there is no one else like Caojiazhuang who has returned to the countryside to invest and develop like the two of them!

Hearing Cao Shujie's suspicion, Cheng Xiaolin was not angry with him and said, "You really guessed it right. I heard from my mother that my brother doesn't seem too happy."

"Just because of this, my dad wants to raise more money and throw money in front of my brother during the Chinese New Year. He can earn more than he earns outside. Won't Yunping agree to it then?" This is what Cheng Xiaolin heard her mother say. of.

But after hearing this, Cao Shujie said: "Childish!"

After Cheng Xiaolin heard this, she was just thinking about giving him a kick when she heard Cao Shujie continue: "Whether Yun Ping comes back depends on whether he is willing to do this job. It is not about money at all."

"Why isn't he willing? Isn't my dad doing a good job?" Cheng Xiaolin wondered.

Cao Shujie had a helpless expression on his face and said, "Honey, why don't you understand? This job involves dealing with cows every day, mixing feed, shoveling cow dung, and serving calves. It's so dirty and tiring. If you didn't like it, you wouldn't be able to do it." Do you think he can hold on?"

Cheng Xiaolin wanted to refute her husband, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that her husband was right. Finally, she said a little irritably: "If you don't want to listen, they can do whatever they like. I don't care."

Seeing his wife losing her temper like a little girl, Cao Shujie wanted to laugh.

This time she couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, which made Cheng Xiaolin very unhappy when she heard it.

He jumped from behind Cao Shujie onto his back and swayed back and forth on Cao Shujie's back, muttering: "My name is Xiao Xiao, I ask you to laugh, and I will crush you to death."

"Eh..." Cao Shujie felt as if his back was pressed by two thick sponges, which made him feel a little fanciful.

"Honey, come down quickly, I surrender!" Cao Shujie said simply and neatly. There were still people in the orchard.

Wouldn't it be shameful for him to advance with a big banner?

Cheng Xiaolin also came back to her senses, her face was slightly flushed, but it got better after a while, and she even took a special look, feeling a little disappointed: "What, you can't do it?"

"Go away!" Cao Shujie found a place and sat on the floor, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, and glared at Cheng Xiaolin: "I'll deal with you later tonight."

"Oh, you think I'm afraid of you!" Cheng Xiaolin raised her chin with an expression as if I could be afraid of you, and then walked down the mountain again.

Monday was not a very busy day for Cao Shujie. From morning to evening, he sold a total of 627 kilograms and earned 21,945 yuan.

Accustomed to the days when he could earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan a day, Cao Shujie felt uncomfortable when he saw that a total of more than 21,000 yuan had been recorded today.

Fortunately, the day after tomorrow is the Qingming Festival. Cao Shujie thinks that he should prepare for the Qingming Festival in advance to prevent too many people from coming and unexpected situations that exceed the reception capacity of his orchard.

On the other hand, after Zuo Le picked strawberries from Cao Shujie, he rushed to the Magic City overnight with more than 14,000 kilograms of strawberries.

When he first came to Shanghai, Zuo Le thought about contacting several large boutique fruit distributors and selling these strawberries to them.

He knew that those people had great purchasing power.

But what he didn't expect was that he came to Magic City with two carts of strawberries and found a place to retail some of them first. But the results of this retail sale exceeded Zuo Le's expectations.

It’s not that it can’t be sold, it’s that it’s selling too well.

Maybe it’s because people here in Shanghai have higher incomes. When many people saw the strawberries on Zuole’s cart, after trying them out, they asked about the price of 55 yuan per catty, and some people wanted to snatch them up on the spot.

There is no need to look for other boutique fruit distributors. Zuo Le feels that with the current popularity, he can sell all these strawberries in a few days.

After arriving in Shanghai on the night of March 29, Zuo Le personally led his team to sell these strawberries for three consecutive days.

On the first day, the price was still 55 yuan per catty. On the second day, I saw that there were many people buying, and people were not opposed to the price. Zuo Le led people to move to more places, and it immediately rose to 60 yuan. Yuan per pound.

Even so, there are still many people trying to grab it, because they think this strawberry is really delicious and tastes better than the strawberries sold in large supermarkets.

And in this magical city, things are generally more expensive, no matter whether it is in a supermarket or a farmer's market outside. For these people, they are used to high prices, and many people even take it for granted that this price is enough. Gotta get them.

However, on the third day, Zuo Le saw that the remaining strawberries were no longer very fresh in terms of appearance, so he directly reduced the price of strawberries from 60 yuan to 50 yuan per catty. This price was lower than the price he had on the first day. The price sold in Magic City is even cheaper.

He thought the sales would be slower today, but he didn't expect that because of the discounted price and strong discounts, more people would rush to buy.

By April 2, the two vehicles had a total of 14,727 kilograms of strawberries. Except for some of them, which were given to customers for tasting, the rest were all sold.

For Zuo Le, the gross profit from selling strawberries this time is more than 330,000 yuan.

After excluding his team's fees and other costs, the final profit was more than 200,000 yuan.

For Zuo Le, he just moved the strawberries grown by Cao Shujie from the place of origin to another place for sale, and the profits he ultimately gained were very generous.

For Zuo Le, he likes this method very much, and he will naturally maintain a good relationship with those who can grow high-quality fruits.

After seeing that all the strawberries in the two trucks were sold out, Zuo Le's first thought was to go to Caojiazhuang and bring two more trucks of strawberries over, but he knew very well that the growth cycle of strawberries also takes time.

In addition, Boss Cao himself sells strawberries, and another fruit seller, Nie Bin, is also waiting to pick them. Even if he goes to guard Cao Shujie at this time, it will be difficult to get large quantities of strawberries.

As a result, he had to wait another 10 days and a month.

Without this quick-in and quick-out profit, Zuo Le felt that he could still wait, but now that he had earned more than 200,000 in four days, Zuo Le felt that he could no longer wait.

Now Zuo Le is complaining about why Cao Shujie doesn't plant more strawberries?

Then he thought of the kiwis in Cao Shujie's orchard, which seemed to be ripe in a few months, and he began to think about kiwis again.

"Boss Cao is really a god. He is a serious Agricultural University graduate. He grows whatever he grows and it tastes delicious. He really learned something in school." Zuo Le thought to himself.

Otherwise, no reason can be found.

He also thought that when he went to see Boss Cao next time, he would definitely give him some advice, asking him to contract more land and grow more fruits. Who could sell the little bit?

"Brother Le, where are we going?" someone asked him.

Zuo Le thought that he couldn't wait for ten days and a half, he had to buy some other fruits.

The next moment, Zuo Le said: "You guys go to the south with me."

Zuo Le seemed to be repeating a sentence deliberately. He said: "If I forget, you must remember to remind me that in 10 days, we will go to Caojiazhuang, Qingshi Town, Pingyuan County, Yiling City, Dongshan Province."

"When Boss Cao's next batch of strawberries matures, we will all rush to pick them. Even at his retail price, we can make a profit."

The people under his command understood what it meant as soon as they heard it, and they nodded accordingly.

After Zuo Le and his team left the Magic City, on the way to the south, Zuo Le also called Cao Shujie to tell him about the situation here, and also specifically told Cao Shujie about the people here's opinions on the 'Cute Fruits' 'It's generally accepted.

"Boss Cao, I'll wait ten days and a half before I go to your place to pick. Remember to leave tens of thousands of catties for me." Zuo Leqian warned Wan.

Cao Shujie wanted to laugh when he heard what he said: "Boss Zuo, don't worry, I will definitely save the best for you when the time comes."

Just listen to this. Zuo Le knew in his heart that he had to fight for it himself.

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Le and the others went to the south.

At this time, in the Mengmeng Orchard in Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie had just hung up the phone from Zuo Le. Cao Shujie thought about what Zuo Le had just said to him on the phone, smiled, and didn't care.

He doesn’t have to worry about selling his strawberries now!

After entering April, the long days and short nights became more and more obvious. The sun had not completely set, and the red clouds reflected half of the sky. When Cao Shujie came down from the mountain, it was not dark yet.

Cao Shujie was a little restless. As soon as he entered the house, Daha and Erha screamed when they saw him.

"Daha, do you want to go out for a walk?" Cao Shujie asked them tentatively?

Then I saw Daha and the others nodding their heads in response to Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie was already used to this scene, and he said to Daha and the others: "You guys wait a minute, I'll go change clothes."

Looking at the expectant eyes of the four dogs, Daha, Erha, Dahei and Xiaohei, Cao Shujie felt that nothing could be done to let them go today.

Entering the house, Cao Shujie saw his grandfather Cao Zhenghu sitting on the official hat chair in the living room, and he said hello.

At this time, Mengmeng was walking around the old grandpa. When she saw Cao Shujie, she stopped, turned a corner and rushed towards Cao Shujie. Finally, she hugged Cao Shujie's calf, stuck her butt out, and sat on her father's feet skillfully. Go up, raise your head and shout with a smile: "Dad!"

"Mengmeng, what are you doing?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Then I heard Mengmeng scolding him: "Dad, you don't want to play with me anymore."

"That's nonsense. Who told you this? Just tell me and I'll go find him to settle the score." Cao Shujie said seriously, "Isn't this bastard trying to drive a wedge between our father and daughter?"

As soon as Cao Shujie finished speaking in a careless and awe-inspiring manner, she heard her daughter say: "Mom said it!"

"..." Cao Shujie was speechless at that time. He subconsciously turned around and looked around, but he didn't find his wife. He thought that his daughter had also learned to set a trap for him?

What made him even more speechless was that his wife came from behind at some point. As soon as she walked into the living room, Mengmeng stood up from his feet and ran towards Cheng Xiaolin: "Mom, dad just talked about you."

"What did you say about me?" Cheng Xiaolin wondered.

Then I heard Mengmeng say in a clear voice: "Dad said you are a bastard."

Cao Shujie: "..."

Cao Shujie felt very heavy. He had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know how to explain it at this moment.

Seeing his wife turning her head with a dangerous look, Cao Shujie didn't bother to change his clothes, turned around and ran out, first keeping a safe distance, and finally said to his wife: "I'm going to walk the dog first, you guys eat early. No need to wait for me to have dinner.”

After finishing speaking, he walked to the kennel and untied the ropes of the four dogs, Daha and Erha. When he was about to walk out, there was another sound of barking behind him.

This voice sounds milky and milky, which makes people feel particularly cute when hearing it.

Cao Shujie was no exception. He turned around and looked back, and saw five little local dogs staring at him with innocent little eyes. Looking at the expressions on their little faces, they also wanted to go out and play.

At that moment, Cao Shujie felt very ashamed. After bringing them from Cao Jianjun's house, he had never taken them out for a walk. It seemed that what he had done was indeed a bit unethical.

"Do you also want to go out?" Cao Shujie grabbed Daha and the others as they ran out, looked at the five little local dogs, and asked them seriously for their opinions.

"Woof, woof!"

"Woof"

The screams of the five puppies were different, but Cao Shujie seemed to understand their expectations for the outside world in their screams. After thinking about it, Cao Shujie directed his daughter to get five thin dog leashes, and he tied them with his own hands. , said: "Let's go, don't run too fast."

Mengmeng, who was working just now, was not happy anymore. She didn't care that she had framed her father, so she shouted: "Dad, wait for me, I will go too."

"What are you going to do? Stay at home and play!" Cao Shujie said with a straight face.

Cao Shujie also said something special: "Mengmeng, I'm afraid that if I take you to the dam, you will say bad things about me when you come back. What will your mother think of me then?"

When Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband say this, she couldn't help but want to laugh. Then she looked at her daughter who looked like she wanted to cry after being rejected by her father. She said, "Xiong Xiang, if she wants to go, just take her with you."

"I went to walk my dog ​​on the dam, but she couldn't run," Cao Shujie said.

But Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "You can just walk slower."

"If it still doesn't work, take out the small trailer and let Daha and the others drag it, and let Mengmeng sit in the small car." Cheng Xiaolin said this.

After Mengmeng heard her mother's suggestion, she was also very happy, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I like riding in a car."

Cao Shujie has a headache. His wife is just looking for something for him to do.

He could come back from walking the dog in an hour, but according to what his wife said, he wouldn't be able to come back in two hours.

Seeing that it was not dark yet, Cao Shujie did not waste any time and said to Mengmeng again: "Mengmeng, hurry up and drag the car out."

"Okay, okay, dad is waiting for me." Mengmeng turned around and ran out of the room.

Cheng Xiaolin also said to him: "The car is so heavy, can't you drag it?"

What else could Cao Shujie say?

Five minutes later, Cao Shujie put the bushing around the unwilling Daha's neck and let him drag the car forward.

When the three dogs Erha, Dahei and Xiaohei saw that their eldest brother was affected, they looked a little gloating on their faces, and they might still be snickering in their hearts because they had escaped.

But when Cao Shujie saw the proud look on their dogs' faces, he seemed to understand what they were thinking, and muttered: "You three, don't be proud either. I'll pull the car later."

After finishing speaking, he slowly walked forward while holding the ropes of the four big dogs and five small dogs.

She was afraid that Daha would run too fast and pull the car sideways, and Mengmeng would fall out of the car.

After arriving at the dam, Cao Shujie loosened the dog leashes of Erha, Dahei and Xiaohei, allowing them to move freely. Cao Shujie held the leashes of Daha and the five small native dogs and ran forward slowly.

Daha was very unhappy at the moment, but he couldn't contradict his master.

Fortunately, Cao Shujie didn't favor one over the other. About 20 minutes later, he called Erha back, put the round bushing in Erha's neck, and Daha ran off to have fun again.

By the time the four dog brothers, Daha, Erha, Dahei and Xiaohei, had taken turns, the moon was already hanging in the sky.

At this time, Mengmeng also lost her excitement of sitting in the car. She said to her father: "Dad, let's go home, I'm hungry!"

"Then let's walk." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Cao Shujie took the dog and his daughter and turned around and walked towards home.

When I got home, it was almost half past eight.

When Cheng Xiaolin saw them coming in, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and asked Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, are you tired? Are you hungry?"

"Mom, I'm so hungry!" Mengmeng said holding her belly.

She even opened her clothes to show her mother: "Mom, look, there is no belly anymore."

"You know you're hungry, why haven't you come back yet?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her, "Are you stupid?"

"I, I'm not stupid." Mengmeng tried her best to defend herself.

"I'm playing with the dog," she said.

Cheng Xiaolin was too lazy to talk about her daughter, and quickly asked her husband to take Mengmeng to wash his hands, while she went to the kitchen to heat up the rice so that her husband and Mengmeng could have a warm meal.

Cao Zhenghu looked at his grandson and said to him: "Shujie, it's so late. Come back early next time."

"Grandpa... OK!" Cao Shujie stopped arguing and just went with them.

Cao Zhenghu was eating strawberries at the moment, and he felt very satisfied when he saw his grandson and great-granddaughter eating so deliciously.

"Are the sales of strawberries okay these days?" Cao Zhenghu asked him.

Cao Shujie nodded: "Grandpa, it's not bad. The main thing is that the strawberries we grow are really delicious, and many people come to buy them."
