The leisurely life of a reborn dad

In the evening, Zuo Le and Guo Honghui stayed at Cao Shujie's place to rest!

At around two o'clock in the morning, the three of them got up. After washing, they walked up the mountain together without eating.

As soon as he arrived at the mountain, Cao Shujie discovered three trucks parked on the south turning platform.

He understood it in an instant and rushed here with them all night long.

Zuo Le seemed to have known they were coming and was not surprised.

Guo Honghui walked towards the three vans and walked to the door. He patted the door and the driver who was sleeping in the car woke up immediately.

The three drivers got out of the car one after another and said hello to Zuo Le.

The person on duty here tonight was Cao Shuchao. After he heard the noise outside, he came out and took a look. He found that Cao Shujie had brought someone over, so he turned on the lights in the orchard.

"Shujie, do you want to start picking now?" Cao Shuchao asked. He knew that strawberries would be picked early this morning.

Cao Shujie nodded and said, "Let's start after the others come over."

Everyone is very pressed for time, and the temperature is gradually rising. Even in the early morning, it is not too cold.

After the strawberries are picked, if the temperature is too high, it will not be conducive to long-term storage.

At the foot of the mountain, villagers came up one after another on electric vehicles, and Cao Shujie also spotted several elders among them who often came to work.

After they came over, they said hello to Cao Shujie, then found a place to sit down and waited for others to come over and work together.

After the others had almost arrived, Cao Shujie took them directly into the orchard and walked to the strawberry field. A driver opened the door of one of the boxes and took out stacks of foam boxes.

Cao Shujie saw that this box was very similar in size and shape to the box that Nie Bin used last time. He was still wondering whether the two of them had customized foam boxes in the same place.

But he was smart enough not to ask.

When working, in order to speed up the work, Cao Shujie also went out in person and worked with them.

That's it. After picking all the red strawberries in the strawberry garden, it was already around 8 o'clock in the morning. The whole process took more than 5 hours.

"Why do I feel that this time there is much more than the first time," Zuo Le said.

Cao Shujie nodded.

He hadn't finished summarizing the accounts, and while watching other people loading the cars, Cao Shujie and Zuo Le went to the hut to settle the accounts.

It doesn't matter, the total weight is more than 17,000 kilograms. Cao Shujie never expected it to be so much.

Zuo Le calculated that this time he would gain nearly 3,000 kilograms more than the 14,727 kilograms he gained the first time, which was a good thing.

Even if the average profit is 20 yuan per catty, he can still earn nearly 60,000 yuan, including the labor and other expenses.

After calculating the accounts, Cao Shujie gave them to Zuo Le and asked him to confirm them.

A total of 17,318 kilograms of strawberries were picked. Based on the bulk picking price of 32 yuan per kilogram, this batch of strawberries cost a full 554,178 yuan.

Cao Shujie wiped out the small change and only received 554,000 yuan from Zuo Le.

Zuo Le was not polite. He plugged in the wireless network card on his laptop on the spot and transferred 554,000 yuan to Cao Shujie's account.

After the two parties completed the transaction, Zuo Le asked Cao Shujie: "Boss Cao, what are you going to do with the remaining strawberries after the May Day holiday is over?"

"Pick the remaining strawberries slowly. If there are still a lot of strawberries, I will call you again." Cao Shujie can't figure out the yield of these strawberries now.

Normally, there are two harvests of strawberries.

For ordinary strawberries, the yield per mu is limited, and 5,000 kilograms is almost the maximum.

But Cao Shujie saw that after picking the red strawberries in his orchard, the remaining strawberry stems were still growing vigorously, and the strawberry flowers sprouted again. All these signs indicated that his batch of strawberries had not yet reached the harvest period. .

This result is very unscientific.

Cao Shujie once thought about this issue seriously. He thought it might be related to the large amount of nutrient solution and base fertilizer he used for strawberries.

After all, soil nutrients are limited, and if there are not enough nutrients for strawberry growth, there will definitely be an upper limit to the growth results.

Zuo Le was waiting for Cao Shujie's words. When he heard what Cao Shujie said, he said unceremoniously: "Okay, I'll wait for your call."

…

After Cao Shujie sent Zuo Le and his party away, he watched the 30 fellow villagers who came to work also take their money and go down the mountain.

Cao Shuchao, Zhu Shengliang, Zhuang Xuesong, and Cao Jianjun were cleaning the orchard.

Cao Shujie returned to the strawberry garden. Looking at the bare strawberry seedlings after a round of frantic picking, Cao Shujie was not worried. He knew that after a while, the strawberry seedlings would start to bloom again.

By then, his pockets will be full again.

Leaving the strawberry garden, Cao Shujie looked at the cattle-raising area divided to the north. The 50 adult cattle inside were walking, occasionally lowering their heads to eat some fodder, or going to the automatic drinking point to drink some water.

There are also cows lying on the ground lazily basking in the sun after the sun comes out, which looks so comfortable.

Cao Shujie likes them because they are easy to grow fat. He will wait for another two months and contact the buyer then.

"This year has been great." Cao Shujie sighed from the bottom of his heart!

He likes it!

After coming down from the orchard on the mountain, Cao Shujie returned home. As soon as he walked into the yard, he heard Mengmeng's shout.

"Mom, you can't see me, hehe!"

"Mom, come to me quickly!"

"Mom, I can't see you either."

Cao Shujie wondered if his daughter and his wife were playing hide-and-seek again?

Looking at his grandfather sitting in the room listening to Peking Opera, Cao Shujie called out "Grandpa".

"Shujie, are you done?" Cao Zhenghu was no longer surprised by his grandson.

Cao Shujie nodded and washed his hands first at the wash basin at the door. Then he walked to his grandfather with a smile, made fists with both hands, and gently tapped his shoulders: "Grandpa, how is my strength?"

"It's okay, is there something wrong with you little brat?" Cao Zhenghu asked him.

Cao Shujie felt wronged: "Grandpa, you are bored at home all the time. I will take you out for a walk."

"Where to go?" When Cao Zhenghu heard his grandson say this, he also wanted to go for a walk.

Cao Shujie remembered something and said, "How about we go to the city."

"In Yiling City?" Cao Zhenghu was puzzled and asked his grandson: "What are you doing there?"

"I just made some money. I'm thinking about buying a 7-seater car. When I have time, I will drive you and my parents out for a ride. Otherwise, I can't fit in this 5-seater car now." Open." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Zhenghu shook his head: "I won't go. I don't know much about cars. I can't help you if I go."

"Grandpa, what do you say? It will definitely be useful if you follow me." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Cao Zhenghu was quite curious. He couldn't drive and didn't understand cars. How could he help his grandson?

"Tell me!"

Cao Shujie was not just talking nonsense. He said: "When the time comes, you can sit on it and see if it is comfortable. If it feels comfortable, we will buy it."

This result was really beyond Cao Zhenghu's expectation.

He also understood what his grandson meant. He raised his hand and pointed at his grandson and said, "You kid, let me tell you something good about you."

"Grandpa, let's make money to buy a car just for enjoyment." Cao Shujie was very willing.

The two-story building he built in the village was as well decorated as the villas outside.

There is no need to consider buying a house at all.

If he really needs it later, he can buy another set in a matter of minutes.

At this time, he thought that buying a better car would be more necessary.

His parents, grandfather, and parents-in-law were all not too young. Except for his grandfather Cao Zhenghu, his parents and parents-in-law had never traveled far in their lives.

Cao Shujie really wanted to take them around.

"Are you going today?" Cao Zhenghu came to his senses and asked quickly.

Seeing his grandson nodding, Cao Zhenghu felt that this was too fast!

But Cao Shujie just earned 550,000 yuan today, and his pocket feels very full. Add in the money he made from selling strawberries before, and the bits and pieces add up to more than 2 million yuan.

Even if the money was used to repay the loan, he also made a lot of money buying Bitcoin!

"Dad!" Mengmeng ran over from nowhere. When she saw him, she rushed towards him.

Cao Shujie didn't even react. He had a headache when he saw his daughter swinging back and forth on him.

"Mengmeng, were you naughty with your mother again just now?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Mengmeng would not admit it, she said: "No, I play games with my mother, but my mother is stupid, she can't even play."

Cao Shujie turned to look at his wife, asking her if that was the case.

Then he heard his wife complain: "Mengmeng just took a piece of cloth to cover his eyes so that he couldn't see me. He thought he was hiding well and asked me to find her. Shujie, tell me." How worrying is your daughter’s IQ!”

The picture described by his wife immediately appeared in Cao Shujie's mind. Isn't this a typical blind eye?

But when Mengmeng heard what her mother said, she was very unconvinced and said, "Dad, that's not true. I've hidden it all. I can't see my mother, and my mother hasn't found me either!"

"..." Cao Shujie scratched his head, what was he going to say?

But obviously, Mengmeng and his wife are not on the same channel.

Cao Shujie ignored her and said to his wife: "Honey, let's go to the city?"

"What are you going to do in the city?" Cheng Xiaolin wondered. There was nothing to do in the city recently.

Then she heard her husband say: "Go buy a car."

"Our family has made so much money. We don't need to buy anything to eat or drink, nor a house. We only buy a few clothes. I'm thinking that we still need to buy a 7-seater car to take our parents with us. , Grandpa went out for a walk and looked around."

"Your loan..."

Cheng Xiaolin was still thinking about mentioning the loan again, but Cao Shujie was very straightforward this time. He said: "Honey, please don't mention the loan to me again. This time we earned more than 2 million just from selling strawberries." I guess I can sell out all this year’s strawberries and earn more than 3 million yuan, which is no problem at all.”

"Besides, we can still sell cattle in the future, strawberries next year, and large quantities of kiwis and apples. How can we not get enough loans of more than 3 million by then?" Cao Shujie said.

After hearing what he said, Cheng Xiaolin felt relieved: "You can buy it if you want. What kind of car should you buy? Have you decided?"

"There are only a few 7-seater cars. I was thinking that the strawberries in our orchard have just been sold out and it won't be so busy for a while. I might as well take advantage of my free time to check out more and visit a few more." Cao Shujie said.

"How much are you going to spend on it?" Cheng Xiaolin was still confused.

Not to mention him, even Cao Zhenghu was wondering how much his grandson would spend to buy a car.

The next moment, he saw his grandson stretching out his right hand and spreading his fingers: "Honey, do you think these can buy a good car?"

"500,000?" Cheng Xiaolin said, "Why did you buy something so expensive?"

"Take a look and then talk!"

Cao Shujie sets the tone with just one sentence.

Cheng Xiaolin carried her daughter upstairs to change clothes.

Cao Shujie started to prepare other things and called his mother to say something.

When Wang Yuelan heard her son Cao Shujie say that he was going to the city to buy a car, she did not advise her son to save money, but told him to buy a safe and collision-resistant one.

This request frightened Cao Shujie.

But if he thought about it carefully, he could understand his mother's thoughts.

"Mom, don't worry. When I buy the car, I will take you, my dad, and my grandpa out for a walk?" Cao Shujie said, "Last time we went to the next county to play, this time we will go to another Play in the city.”

"Next time we go out of the province."

Wang Yuelan was particularly happy with what her son said. No matter whether it could be realized or not, she felt that her son was her pride.

"It's all you can say. It's getting late, so go quickly." Wang Yuelan urged them.

Cao Shujie didn't say any more to his mother. Watching his wife pack her things and come downstairs, Cao Shujie took the bag from his wife's hand and walked out with his grandfather.

When Cao Zhenghu saw his grandson's Grand Hyatt, he asked, "Shujie, if you buy a new car, what will you do with your car?"

"Keep it!" Cao Shujie said without even thinking, "Grandpa, let's not talk about how good this car is. This license plate alone will make it easier for us to travel to Beijing in the future."

Cao Zhenghu didn't understand what his grandson was talking about, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Cao Zhenghu sat down in the passenger seat. Cao Shujie pulled the seat belt for him and fastened it, then started the car and walked out.

It was already two hours after we arrived in Yiling City from Caojiazhuang. It was almost noon at this time. Thinking that the 4S store would also be off work at this time, Cao Shujie was not in a hurry to go there. He first found a restaurant and went to have something to eat together. meal.

After the meal, Cao Shujie drove his grandfather and wife toward Quanshan Street where the 4S store was located.

I also asked the waiter in the hotel when I was eating just now.

There are two streets in Yiling City with the highest concentration of 4S stores, and Quanshan Street is one of them.

The other one is at Yiling City Development Zone.

But the waiter just now told Cao Shujie that the 4S store on Quanshan Street has more comprehensive brands.

Cao Shujie was not very familiar with Yiling City, but he still chose to believe what the young man said. The price was lower than that in the development zone. I decided to go to Quanshan Street first, but found nothing, and then went to the development zone to look.

But Mengmeng couldn't sit still at this time. She asked Cao Shujie from time to time in the back seat: "Dad, haven't you arrived yet? I've had enough."

"You've had enough riding in the car, can you just go down and run?" Cao Shujie asked her without looking back.

Mengmeng was definitely not happy. She shook her little head and said, "No, why don't you go down and run?"

"What will you do if I go down and run?" Cao Shujie asked.

He said: "Who is driving you?"

"Dad, do you think I'm stupid? Mom can also drive, okay?" Mengmeng rolled her eyes at her father, wondering if she was that easy to deceive?

When Cao Zhenghu heard his great-granddaughter say this, he couldn't help laughing.

Unknowingly, Cao Shujie drove to Quanshan Street. As soon as he entered the street, he saw car 4S shops of various brands on both sides of the street. It was just like what the young man said.
