The leisurely life of a reborn dad

The message was sent by Cao Jianlong to the ‘Caojiazhuang Village Affairs Group’, asking everyone in Caojiazhuang to go to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee meeting room to vote tomorrow.

There were two candidates, Cao Shujie and himself, but Cao Jianlong called on everyone in the group to choose Cao Shujie.

It's the new year soon, and there's nothing to put off this matter. Cao Shujie is no longer polite now.

The election results on the second day were uneventful. Cao Shujie passed the vote unanimously. The village committee submitted the results to the Qingshi Town Party Committee and requested approval from superiors.

From the perspective of Luo Ningyou or Shi Xiangdong, this matter was a matter of course.

Luo Ningyou had asked Cao Shujie many times before if he wanted to take it over in advance, but Cao Shujie didn't agree at that time.

Now that this day has finally come, Luo Ningyou feels relieved.

When it comes to Cao Shujie becoming the party secretary of Caojiazhuang Village, there is no obstacle at all. All aspects are smooth and no one objects.

A few days later, the approval of the Qingshi Town Party Committee came down. Cao Shujie was elected as the new village party secretary of Caojiazhuang without any suspense, and Cao Jianlong was appointed as the deputy party secretary.

After receiving the notice, Cao Shujie and others gathered in the large conference room again.

Cao Jianlong and Cao Zhengcun came a little earlier than before. When they saw Cao Shujie, several people shouted "Secretary Cao", which made Cao Shujie a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle Long, Grandpa Zhengcun, we can just keep calling him the same as before." Cao Shujie said.

These people were used to calling him by his name or 'Director Cao', but they felt a little awkward when he suddenly changed their names.

Besides, he is now the village party secretary and the village director, and he has the power in Caojiazhuang, so there is nothing wrong with calling him Director Cao.

But a few people didn't think so. They felt that according to the principle of priority, they must be called "big".

Cao Jianlong then said: "Secretary Cao, it should be."

"Come on, I can't defeat you." Cao Shujie and the others sat down one after another. This was also the first meeting after the election.

Let’s meet first, and then the next step is to elect the new village committee members after the year. Cao Zhengcun once again mentioned that he would resign as the security director.

The candidate for director of security is also here, so there is naturally no problem in this matter.

Gao Changyin and Lu Ping have no intention of quitting for the time being. Cao Shujie feels that their ability to do things is quite reliable and their usual performance is very good. In addition, they are already familiar with this position and are familiar with all the work. Without In the case of new candidates, there is really no need to replace them.

"Secretary Cao, you are new here today, why don't you treat us to a meal?" Lu Ping is the only woman in the village committee, so it would be better for her to say some words.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Shujie smiled and nodded in agreement: "Please, definitely please, what do you guys want to eat?"

"I heard that there is an iron pot stew shop in town, but I have never eaten that food." Lu Ping was not polite.

But Cao Shujie looked at several other people nodding along, and he guessed whether these people had all agreed upon it?

"Stew in an iron pot, right? I'll get two more bottles of good wine." Cao Shujie agreed.

But he also mentioned business: "But let's talk first. We have a lot to do now. It happens that the village is quiet, so we have to make preparations in advance, otherwise we will be very busy after next spring."

"Whatever Director Cao says, we will definitely obey the command." Cao Jianlong took the initiative and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhengcun, Gao Changyin, Lu Ping and Cao Shuchao all agreed.

Cao Shujie ignored them and continued to talk about wanting to elect another 'deputy director'.

He is doing both now, but he is busy with many things and does not have so much energy.

Cao Jianlong and the others also knew that at this moment, Cao Jianlong took the initiative to mention someone: "Secretary Cao, I think Liu Guoqiang is quite suitable. I know him well. He is hard-working and down-to-earth, serious in work, and educated. He is a serious college graduate."

The key point is that Liu Guoqiang used to be the deputy director of the village, but at that time he could not stand the corruption of the previous village party secretary Cao Jiangang, so he resigned angrily!

Hearing Cao Shujie say that he wanted to elect another deputy director, Cao Jianlong also recommended this former colleague.

When Cao Zhengcun and Lu Ping heard the name "Liu Guoqiang", they both nodded. They also felt that there was nothing wrong with the person recommended by Cao Jianlong.

"Secretary Cao, I think Liu Guoqiang is really educated and capable." Cao Zhengcun said.

For those who want to retreat, what they say at this time will be more credible.

In Cao Zhengcun's words, Liu Guoqiang, a junior college student, is not comparable to those of today's junior college students. In his time, he was admitted to the Eight Classics Examination to learn things, and his own knowledge is not inferior to that of today's undergraduates. How many.

Cao Shujie firmly believes in this.

After all, Liu Guoqiang is also in his forties. For his time, he was indeed a serious and talented student.

"Okay, since you all say so, then I'll go find him..." Cao Shujie said.

Before he finished speaking, Cao Jianlong glanced at Cao Zhengcun and then said: "Secretary Cao, Liu Guoqiang has a very stubborn temper. Otherwise, Uncle Zhengcun and I will go and talk to him first..."

But Cao Shujie waved his hand and interrupted Cao Jianlong: "Uncle Long, there's no need. I believe he can definitely see the changes in Caojiazhuang. I'm not a greedy person."

Speaking of this, Cao Shujie is still very sorry. Caojiazhuang now has a population of more than 1,400, but there are not many people who can use it.

Based on this, Cao Shujie also hopes that the next generation of Caojiazhuang can grow up quickly.

It would be too difficult to develop if you rely on him alone for everything.

"There's one more thing." Cao Shujie first wrote down the matter of 'Liu Guoqiang' in his notebook, and then said: "Barren Mountain has been developed. Next year, part of it can be opened. We must also prepare in advance. Another section of stalls will be built at the foot of the mountain and will be open to Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang.”

This has been discussed before, and the prices of these stalls are higher than those currently rented by the villagers. However, there are still many people in Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village who are willing to come and rent. They think it will cost an extra two to thirty thousand yuan a year. The rent is not a problem at all, but I am afraid that there are too few stalls and I will not be able to grab them when the time comes.

Because of this incident, Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei came to see Cao Jianlong many times.

But at that time, the barren mountain had not yet been developed, and the exact number of stalls to be built was uncertain, including the rental price, so the two of them were not agreed.

Now that everything is basically clear, I can talk to them about this issue this time.

Cao Jianlong took the initiative to take over the task. He told Cao Shujie that he could negotiate a satisfactory price despite his old face.

People who don't know better think that Cao Jianlong made a big sacrifice, but Cao Shujie knows that this job is really effortless.

In a word, those stalls at the foot of the mountain are scarce resources. There are only so many in total, and the initiative lies in the hands of Caojiazhuang.

Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei knew the result, so they had to admit it.

"Okay, I also think that Uncle Long must take action in such a big matter." Cao Shujie added.

Cao Jianlong became happy and felt that even though he was old, he was still of great use.

Several other people also laughed.

Because the new office building of Caojiazhuang Village Committee is under construction opposite and the development of barren hills is also proceeding in an orderly manner, there are not many other things going on at this stage.

However, Cao Shujie mentioned one thing. He was thinking of making up the balance of the two mountain land leases at once.

His previous payment model for renting two pieces of mountain land was to pay the fee in three installments. Cao Shujie only paid one installment at that time, and two installments were left unpaid.

The reason why he paid in installments at that time was because he didn't have that much money on hand, and he also spent a lot on mountain construction, but it's different now.

Cao Shujie has plenty of money on hand, and since he was elected as the village party secretary, he still owes this money. It will not be good after a long time.

Neither Cao Jianlong nor the others objected to Cao Shujie's statement.

They also know that the rent is nothing to Cao Shujie.

"Lao Gao, look at how much Secretary Cao's remaining two installments of rent are." Cao Jianlong said to Gao Changyin.

Gao Changyin had to find the ledger first.

While they were discussing other things first, Gao Changyin found the accounting book of the previous village accountant Cao Zhengyin and turned to the page where Cao Shujie leased the mountain land.

The above accounts are clearly recorded, including that the rent will not increase in the first five years, and the rent will be paid at an annual increase of 3% after the next five years.

There are still two installments of fees for the 85 acres of mountain land leased for the first time.

The second lease of 117 acres of mountain land also had two installments of fees not paid.

After turning over the accounts, he came back with the account book and asked Cao Zhengcun, Cao Jianlong, Lu Ping, and Cao Shuchao to take a look at it, and said, "Look, there are still two installments of the mountain land that Secretary Cao rented for the first time, totaling 325,338.17 yuan." Give."

"For the second lease of 117 acres of land, there are still two installments of fees of 490,092.76 yuan that have not been paid."

"The total of these two times is 815,430.93 yuan. Can you do the math, too?" Gao Changyin also took out a flat calculator from his bag and handed it to Cao Zhengcun and the others.

This is what he eats with, and he always carries it with him.

But Cao Jianlong waved his hand: "You say yes, what else is it? Can Secretary Cao be even worse than this?"

Even so, Cao Shujie asked Lu Ping and Cao Zhengcun to calculate it again to confirm that there was no misunderstanding. Cao Shujie used mobile online banking to transfer all the rent of more than 810,000 to the public account of Caojiazhuang Village Committee on the spot.

After confirming, Gao Changyin wrote a receipt, took a photo of the receipt and sent it to the 'Caojiazhuang Village Affairs Group'.

The receipt clearly stated that Cao Shujie had paid all the fees for renting the mountainous land. In theory, if there were no major changes in the policy, the right to use these mountainous lands would belong to Cao Shujie within 30 years.

When the people in the 'Caojiazhuang Village Affairs Group' saw this bill, they didn't say anything.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Cao Shujie was making a statement that although he was the village party secretary, he would still pay the money he was due and had no financial debts with the village committee.

Everything is clear in everything you do!

"There is another matter related to the Security Brigade."

After Cao Shujie finished talking about other things, he finally mentioned this. He told Cao Zhengcun and reserve director Cao Shuchao: "Grandpa Zhengcun, brother Chao, the security brigade still needs to recruit people. We will wait until part of the barren mountain development and reconstruction area is opened. Our current manpower is simply not enough.”

Since Cao Shuchao accepted the job of security director, the security brigade has been given a special mission to protect the personal safety and property safety of Caojiazhuang villagers.

In addition, they also have to patrol the Caojiazhuang children's theme park and orchard. The workload is so large that 10 people cannot complete it.

According to Cao Shujie, adding another 10 places is not too much.

This cost is also borne by the Caojiazhuang Village Committee.

However, the security brigade will no longer be responsible for patrolling the children's theme park in the future, and Cao Shujie will recruit another person to take charge there.

In the later stage, the security team only focused on the newly developed barren mountain side, several parking lots, and other areas except Mengmeng Orchard and Children's Theme Park.

In this way, the work of the security brigade can be more accurately targeted, and there is no need to run around Caojiazhuang all over the village.

It's still good for them.

But it is also obvious that the security brigade is only responsible for the property belonging to Caojiazhuang. To a certain extent, the children's theme park and Mengmeng Orchard now belong to Cao Shujie's 'private property'. If the security brigade continues to inspect, in the eyes of others It's a bit like a public instrument for private use.

Cao Shuchao wanted to say a few words about this matter, but when he saw Cao Shujie shaking his head, Cao Shuchao wisely shut up and didn't mention it further.

Cao Zhengcun seemed to understand, and he finally nodded in agreement.

After all, he is still the nominal security director.

After discussing these matters, Cao Shujie's first village committee meeting ended harmoniously since he took office as village party secretary.

At noon, Cao Shujie brought two bottles of good wine and asked the six of them to go to the newly opened iron pot stew restaurant in the town.

After coming over, Cao Shujie ordered a piece of pork ribs and a big goose.

He and Shi Xiangdong had dinner here last time, and it tasted very good.

Lu Ping drank fruit wine, and the others drank white wine after using the fruit wine to moisten their throats. They felt that the alcohol content was too low.

When they first started drinking it, it felt fresh and they all wanted to drink it at that time. However, after the fruit wine was mass-produced at Xuemeng Food Factory, they could buy it at any time. Instead, it lost the freshness and they were less willing to drink fruit wine. Intense.

This meal was very satisfying.

After eating and drinking, we returned to Caojiazhuang. Everyone was busy with their own business. Cao Shujie's body was now full of the smell of wine and the smell of cooking meat in an iron pot. This mixed smell was very unpleasant.

He stayed in the large conference room of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee for a while, letting the smell off his body before going home.

Cao Zhenggang, who took over the housing reconstruction work of Yiling City Rural Commercial Bank, saw Cao Shujie alone in the large conference room with nothing to do, so he came over to chat with Cao Shujie for a while.

I also want to thank Cao Shujie for introducing him to these jobs.

"Grandpa Zhenggang, this is because you have the skills and there are people. Otherwise, if I introduce this job to you, you won't be able to do it. It's not in vain." Cao Shujie went to dig out tea leaves and brewed a cup for Cao Zhenggang.

The two of them slowly drank tea and chatted about their next plan. (End of chapter)
