The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"It's really not profitable?" Cheng Xiaolin turned around and approached her husband, keeping her eyes on her husband's glasses.

When Cao Shujie saw this face so close to her, Mengmeng was not there, so why was he so polite? He pouted and kissed his wife on the cheek.

"Bo!"

"Are you annoyed or not? This is what you do, right?" Cheng Xiaolin pushed him away with her hands like a fly.

"roll!"

Just as Cheng Xiaolin finished scolding, Mengmeng, who was playing with her grandfather downstairs, suddenly ran to the stairs and shouted: "Mom, why doesn't dad come down yet?"

Cao Shujie: "..."

"Did you see, your dear daughter is calling you!" Cheng Xiaolin said to him with a teasing smile.

"Dad!" Mengmeng didn't hear her father's response, so she ran up the stairs.

Cao Shujie wanted to slap his wife, but when he saw that his daughter had already appeared on the stairs, he still wanted to avoid any bad influence.

"Here we go, I'll go down when I'm done. Why is Mengmengzi coming up again?" Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng's eyes flickered at her father, with an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

She said, "I don't believe it. Are you bullying your mother again?"

"Nonsense, let's go down quickly and don't disturb your mother's work." Cao Shujie said.

Watching Cao Shujie go downstairs, she followed suit and asked her father, "Dad, do you want to go out?"

"Yes, I'll go out for a walk. It's too hot outside. You can play with grandpa at home." Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng curled her lips and said, "I'm not afraid of the heat."

"You are not afraid of heat, but if your skin is as tan as black charcoal, it will not look good." Cao Shujie said.

"Dad, you lied. Why don't you tan like black coal?" Mengmeng was seriously doubtful.

Cao Shujie thought to himself that his daughter was getting harder and harder to deceive.

"Do you really want to come with me?" As soon as Cao Shujie finished asking, he saw his daughter nodding.

"Okay, I'll put some sunscreen on you and put on your hat." After Cao Shujie finished cleaning up for her, another ten minutes passed.

When the father and daughter went out on their electric scooters, Cheng Xiaolin was still on the second floor telling him: "Shujie, don't stay out for too long. Come back as soon as you're done."

"Mom, don't worry, it's OK, I will watch over dad." Mengmeng shouted.

Cao Shujie looked down at Mengmeng sitting in the small seat in front, thinking: "What are you looking at me for?"

Cao Shujie was not in a hurry to find Cao Jianlong. He walked west along the road and observed the flow of people in every orchard.

After walking and stopping like this for about half an hour, Cao Shujie had a good idea.

He then called Cao Jianlong. After asking where he was on the phone, Cao Shujie rode an electric bike directly to find him.

After arriving at the place, Cao Shujie saw Cao Jianlong standing on the ground before he stopped the car.

Seeing him coming, Cao Jianlong greeted him directly: "Shujie, are you done?"

"Uncle Long, I'm almost done with my work, but I still have to go to the county tomorrow." Cao Shujie looked very busy.

There wasn't much to do in the village. Cao Shujie was free to do whatever he wanted, and Cao Jianlong never asked.

"Hello grandpa." Mengmeng raised her little face and shouted.

The sound of "Grandpa" made Cao Jianlong very happy.

He looked at Mengmeng, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it: "Mengmeng is so good, it's so hot, why don't you turn on the air conditioner at home?"

"I don't want to play at home, I want to follow daddy." Mengmeng's little hands grabbed Cao Shujie's clothes, looking like she didn't want to let go.

When Cao Shujie heard what his daughter said, he felt happy, but he said with a disgusting tone, "This girl is so annoying. She always follows me and delays things."

Cao Jianlong looked at the smile on Cao Shujie's face and didn't want to say anything to him: "Shujie, you also saw that there are fewer people, right?"

Cao Shujie nodded. After completing the circle, combined with the content in the comment area of ​​his wife's video, he actually had some guesses in his mind.

He said: "Uncle Long, I just got a general understanding of the situation. I should know what's going on."

"What's going on?" Cao Jianlong asked anxiously.

He was thinking, is this just a flash in the pan?

In essence, there is still a big gap between the orchard run by Cao Shujie himself?

Thinking in my mind, I heard Cao Shujie say in my ears: "Uncle Long, just like the problem I mentioned to Mayor Liu last night, to put it bluntly, there are still few people."

He said: “Through the video my wife took, we can only attract so many customers. Others either have other things to do, are at work, or are really far away from us, so they only need two days to get back and forth. Not enough to waste time."

"In addition, kiwi fruit is different from strawberry. It needs to be ripened after being brought back. It will not be edible for at least three or four days. Those customers who came here on Friday and Saturday have almost no chance of coming back today."

When Cao Shujie said this, Cao Jianlong understood immediately.

This is no different from what Cao Shujie told Mayor Liu Furong last night.

"Shujie, do you think your friends can digest all the kiwis in our village?" Cao Jianlong asked worriedly.

"Uncle Long, don't worry. There are still no problems in our village. Don't think about other things." Cao Shujie said.

Some of it will be digested one after another, and Cao Shujie will sell some of it online in a few days, so there won't be much of a problem.

Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Jianlong also understood that he didn't need to think too much about helping sell kiwi fruits from other villages.

After calming down, Cao Jianlong suddenly felt that it was good for his village to reach this point.

As for whether planting kiwi fruit will make money next year, Cao Jianlong is not worried about this.

He feels that no matter what market it is, it has a self-correcting function.

This year I was deceived by some unscrupulous fruit farmers, but it may not be the same next year.

After a busy weekend, all the 14 fruit farmers in Caojiazhuang are settling accounts.

On Friday, Saturday, and these three days of the weekend, they have almost sold out of the kiwi fruits in their orchard.

There isn't much left, just scattered here and there, just take out.

If it doesn't work out, they send it to the county or city fruit wholesale market. At this time, it doesn't matter if the price is a dollar cheaper.

Whether it is Cao Shudong, Cao Jianmao, Cao Shuying, Cao Shuhe, Cao Jianzhen and others, they all understand that the village director Cao Shujie has done a lot for them, and no one can expect too much.

After a few people talked to each other, they unanimously decided to calculate the price difference and send it to the village committee.

In the last three days, Caojiazhuang sold a total of 246,415 kilograms of unsalable kiwis. As for the remaining kiwis in the orchard, it was estimated to be less than 60,000 kilograms, which means that each household would not have much left.

Faced with this number, the 14 fruit farmers are relieved.

Calculated at 3.5 yuan per catty, each fruit farmer’s household with these sales would have an income of more than 60,000 yuan on average.

If you add in the kiwi fruits that have not been completely digested in the orchard, on average, each of the 14 fruit farmers in Caojiazhuang earns more than 70,000 yuan.

This is much better than other farmers who make a living by growing food.

On Monday morning, 14 farmers collectively sent 128,207.5 yuan to the village committee.

This is the price difference that was agreed before, and the village committee will get 50 cents.

This money will be used as the village committee's construction fund, including the later construction of the village committee's town hall, including the payment of subsidies for the volunteer staff recruited by the village committee.

When Cao Shudong and 14 fruit farmers came together to send money, the village party secretary Cao Jianlong, security director Cao Zhengcun, women's director Lu Ping, and Caojiacun's new accountant Gao Changyin were all there.

But the village director Cao Shujie, whom Cao Shudong and the others particularly wanted to see, was not there.

"Secretary Cao, is Director Cao not here?" Cao Jianmao asked directly.

There was even a bit of disappointment in his tone.

He knew very well that they could still make money this time, thanks to Cao Shujie, not the four people in front of him.

Cao Jianlong was not angry. He told Cao Jianmao and the others: "Shujie has something to go to the county. If you have anything you want to convey, I can tell him."

"Or you can talk to Shujie after he comes back from the county."

Cao Jianmao quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to say. I just want to thank Secretary Cao, Director Cao, and everyone else for their help."

Cao Shuying has a carefree temperament. She stood up and said: "Secretary Cao, we agreed at the beginning that for every pound of kiwi fruit sold, there is a price difference of 5 cents from the village committee. We will give this money together today."

After finishing speaking, each of the 14 families took out their own account books and handed them to the accountant Gao Changyin, asking him to put the accounts together again.

After finishing, seeing Gao Changyin nodding, Cao Shudong said: "We have calculated the account several times, and the total is 128,207 yuan and 50 cents."

The two young men at the back came over with a bag: "The money is all here. Accountant Gao, please click on it and see if it's correct."

When Gao Changyin was carrying the bag containing the money, it felt as heavy as a ton, and his hands were shaking.

To be blunt, he had never taken so much cash at once in his life.

Not to mention him, Cao Jianlong, Cao Zhengcun, and Lu Ping were also a little excited.

This is money earned by the village committee member Zhengerba, unlike the previous village party secretary Cao Jiangang who secretly made money from his own family.

Cao Jianlong took a deep breath and said to Gao Changyin: "Accountant Gao, you must keep track of the accounts. After settling the accounts for those who work, save the remaining money as soon as possible."

Gao Changyin nodded: "Secretary Cao, don't worry, I will take care of it right away."

"For such a big matter, I have to tell Director Cao." Cao Jianlong said.

To put it bluntly, before getting the money, Cao Jianlong didn't expect that the 5 cent difference would be so much money.

But he knew that the money was not earned by him, but by Cao Shujie.

Cao Zhengcun and Lu Ping also nodded, thinking that they should tell Director Cao Shujie.

Unknowingly, the two of them could be Cao Shujie's grandfather and aunt in terms of age and seniority, but they no longer thought of themselves as elders.

It was the first time that the title "Director Cao" stuck in their minds.

…

Cao Shujie is currently looking for help from Lian Xuezhu in the county town, asking him to find someone to apply for a business license for him as soon as possible.

Cao Shujie has done this kind of relationship-finding thing many times since last year, and he is very skilled.

In Lian Xuezhu's place, he really didn't regard himself as an outsider. When he saw Lian Xuezhu's face, he talked about his uncle and gave Lian Xuezhu 10 boxes of kiwi fruits that he brought specially.

In the words of Cao Shujie, gifts should be given generously and generously. They are not expensive gifts. What is there to be afraid of?

When Lian Xuezhu saw the 10 boxes of kiwi fruits brought in by Cao Shujie, he did not refuse. He also poured tea for Cao Shujie, and the two chatted while drinking tea.

Until Cao Shujie's cell phone rang, he took it out and glanced at it. When he wanted to hang up, Lian Xuezhu didn't care. He said, "Shujie, if you have something urgent, just answer the phone first."

"The call from our village party secretary shouldn't be anything serious," Cao Shujie said, but he still answered the phone.

Then I heard Cao Jianlong tell Cao Shudong and his 14 fruit farmers about sending money to the village committee. After hearing what he said, Cao Shujie was also a little surprised: "Uncle Long, is it more than 120,000? That's really not a small amount. !”

"Accountant Gao just finished collecting the accounts and sold a total of 240,000 catties."

"Haha, that's pretty good." Cao Shujie smiled.

This result has exceeded his expectations.

Lian Xuezhu, who was next to him, heard Cao Shujie and Cao Jianlong on the phone. Listening to sensitive figures such as 240,000 kilograms and 120,000 yuan, his eyelids blinked, thinking what did this kid do again?

Don't break the law!

Before he could figure it out, he heard Cao Shujie say to the person on the other end of the phone: "Uncle Long, please pay the volunteers' subsidies for the past few days first, and then do the calculations. Each of the five of us will receive 1,000 yuan in subsidies." Post it and keep the remaining money for the Great Hall.”

"Damn it, this kid really dares to take it." Lian Xuezhu thought to himself.

After Cao Shujie hung up the phone, he immediately asked: "Shujie, what was going on when you called just now?"

He was too puzzled.

Cao Shujie didn't hide anything from him, and told him exactly what happened, starting with the unsalable kiwi fruits of the 14 fruit farmers in Caojiazhuang.

Including how he found a market for Caojiazhuang's unsalable kiwis, how he attracted people, and why he took the 120,000 yuan, everything was explained clearly.

After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie said something extra: "Uncle, this is not corruption. We all rely on hard-earned money."

Lian Xuezhu wanted to hit someone, but he always felt that there was something in this kid's words. Was he secretly accusing someone?

Inexplicably, Lian Xuezhu didn't want to see him today, so he threw him a phone number and said: "This is the number from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Just go over and call him directly. Just say I asked you to go. If you need anything, he I can do it for you directly, so hurry up and get out of here!"

This was what Cao Shujie was waiting for, and he walked away with a smile.

"Uncle, I'll finish my work another day. I'll come back and treat you to dinner." Cao Shujie shouted after leaving the house.

When Lian Xuezhu saw Cao Shujie's back, he really wanted to step forward and kick him.

But I have to sigh with emotion, Cao Shujie is really capable.

In just a few words, Lian Xuezhu understood what was going on.

The reason why Caojiazhuang Village Committee can earn this money has nothing to do with the other people in the village committee. It is purely a reflection of Cao Shujie's personal ability.

He muttered: "Caojiazhuang is really lucky, but this guy is just a village director. Isn't he understating his talents?"

As soon as this idea came to his mind, Lian Xuezhu thought of Cao Shujie's lazy temper and shook his head directly: "Forget it, let him do it himself."
