The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Just as I was thinking about that picture in my mind, I suddenly heard my daughter Mengmeng's voice yelling: "Dad, there is a fish, hurry up."

Cao Shujie turned around and looked over, only to find that water flowers were beginning to splash on the water again.

While he was distracted for a moment, another fish automatically took the bait.

Mengmeng was more cheerful than Cao Shujie, jumping up and down, asking her father to catch the fish quickly.

She also led Dahei around to find wooden sticks, and chased them away in the bucket according to the method her father said.

"Dad, hurry up."

"Okay, okay, don't rush me anymore," Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng watched her father lift the fishing rod. Isn't this fish much smaller than the one just now?

Cao Shujie felt incredible when he looked at Xiaohegou.

The width of this river is only 4 meters, and the deepest part is less than two meters. Both sides are covered with reeds and grass. Who knows that there are especially abundant fish in it.

When Cao Shujie put the fish in the bucket, Mengmeng finally found a wooden stick. She stood by the bucket, put the wooden stick in, and messed around.

Seeing that the two fish were lazily motionless, she whipped them twice hard.

When Cao Shujie saw the two fish in the bucket, he felt sad for them. How could they fall into his hands?

Meeting a little devil like his daughter again would be a life-long disaster.

The father and daughter had a great time playing here. Cao Shujie caught some small fish one after another. Mengmeng saw more and more fish in the bucket, and she had even more fun.

"Dad, let's go back." I don't know when the sun climbed to the top of the head and began to exert its remaining heat.

The shade of trees Cao Shujie looked for was of no use.

Mengmeng ran back and forth. Although Dahei was holding her, it was still very hot. Her face was covered with sweat, and her white clothes clung to her body. They were soaked with sweat and almost turned into transparent clothes.

"Okay, I'll clean up and then we'll leave." Cao Shujie said.

He also felt it was too hot here.

He cleaned up quickly, and it didn't take long to finish.

He turned the electric tricycle around and picked up Mengmeng: "Let's go."

The road was bumpy when we came here, but it was even more bumpy when we went back. Cao Shujie also said: "When the village has money, we will repair this road."

He knows better than anyone else that 'if you want to be rich, build roads first' is really not an empty phrase.

If his orchard on the mountain didn't have two roads to the north and south built at his own expense, then his business would be more than just a half-price deal, and probably not many people would be willing to walk up there.

Moreover, it is very inconvenient for him to transport things up and down. It is far better than being able to drive the car up directly like now, which saves a lot of trouble.

The journey back to the village from Xiaohegou went smoothly, and no wild dogs were encountered. Cao Shujie looked at Dahei and Xiaohei. He originally wanted the brothers to exercise, but this time his idea failed.

Entering the village, more and more people began to greet him.

It only took a few minutes to get home by bike, but Cao Shujie had to walk for 20 minutes to get home.

There was no way, these folks were too enthusiastic, and he felt a little embarrassed if he didn't take a cigarette and put it on his ear.

"Dad is so annoying." Mengmeng said.

"What's wrong with you?" Secretary Cao asked his daughter.

Mengmeng pointed at the people just now, hugged her belly and said, "I'm already hungry, but those grandparents won't let me leave."

"Hey, no one can be hungry. We, Mengmeng, come home quickly and look for something delicious." Cao Shujie coaxed her like this.

As soon as the electric tricycle entered the house, Mengmeng grabbed the railing on the right side of the tricycle with both hands and wanted to climb down.

But she was too small and had no strength in her hands. Her foot was on the railing on one side of the tricycle, and her other foot was down, unable to even reach the point of strength.

Cao Shujie was horrified when he saw this scene. He quickly jumped out of the car and took his daughter down: "Mengmeng, can you not do this?"

Mengmeng pouted and said nothing.

Cheng Xiaolin heard the noise and came out of the main room. When she saw the father and daughter coming back, she asked: "Shujie, Mengmeng, you two have been busy all morning. How was your harvest? Did you catch any fish?"

When Mengmeng heard her mother ask, she opened her hands and drew a big circle, and said proudly: "Mom, dad is so awesome. Did he catch a lot of fish?"

Mengmeng did not take any credit, which is very valuable!

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter's appearance and said to herself, "I just turn to your father for everything."

But when Cao Shujie lifted the bucket containing the fish off the electric tricycle, Cheng Xiaolin saw that the bottom of the bucket was full, and she had nothing to say.

"Shujie, you are really good at fishing!" Cheng Xiaolin sincerely praised her.

Cao Shujie smiled and nodded: "It's not bad, mainly because these fish like me and voluntarily take the bait."

"Ouch, I realized why you are so shameless and compare yourself to Taigong Jiang?" Cheng Xiaolin put her finger on her cheek: "Shujie, tell me whether you are ashamed or not."

Cao Shujie didn't want to talk to his wife. This woman didn't understand anything.

"Is lunch ready? If it's ready, eat it quickly. I have to go to a meeting in the afternoon." Cao Shujie looked like he was a busy man.

Cheng Xiaolin was too lazy to tell him, but she still pointed to the kitchen and said, "It's been done a long time ago. You two go wash your hands and face quickly. Shujie, you change Mengmeng's clothes, and I'll call grandpa over for dinner."

The couple each performed their duties, and Cao Shujie took Mengmeng upstairs.

By the time they finished their work, Grandpa Cao Zhenghu had already sat down at the dining table.

Cao Shujie saw that his grandfather was a little depressed, and asked him: "Grandpa, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"I am in good health. As I get older, I tend to suffer from insomnia." Cao Zhenghu said this.

Cao Shujie heard what his grandfather said and told him to get a good rest at night and take a proper lunch break during the day.

But he also knew his grandfather's temperament, and he couldn't take any time off.

Life is a drama, full of all kinds of incredible plots.

Before Cao Shujie finished his lunch, his cell phone rang.

I touched my phone and saw that the call was from Cao Jianlong.

"Uncle Long, what's wrong?" Cao Shujie wondered.

Cao Jianlong said anxiously on the phone: "What else happened? There are many people in the courtyard. Shujie, what do you think we should do?"

Cao Shujie didn't understand, so he asked Cao Jianlong a few more questions, and then he understood what was going on.

It turned out that many people who wanted to plant kiwi fruit went to the village committee compound, and there were also some people who wanted to work and get money, so they went there in advance and waited.

They were all fellow villagers, and it was fine at first, but as we kept talking, some people said they were getting anxious.

After a while, two people took action.

Cao Jianlong became angry when he saw this situation. He called Cao Shujie to ask him if he had any good suggestions for handling it.

But he didn't expect Cao Shujie to be more decisive than him: "Uncle Long, just drive them away. They won't have any share in planting kiwi fruit trees or raising cattle later. Let them calm down for a year."

When Cao Jianlong heard what Cao Shujie said, he took a deep breath. This treatment was really cruel.

But Cao Jianlong thinks there's nothing wrong with it, he likes it!

"Okay, Shujie, have you eaten? If not, come to the village committee compound and have some pork stewed vermicelli together." Cao Jianlong also announced the name of the dish, and Cao Shujie wanted to laugh when he heard it.

"Uncle Long, you guys eat first. I'm eating at home. I'll go there after I'm full." Cao Shujie said this.

Cao Jianlong didn't rush him either.

In fact, Cao Shujie doesn't need anyone to urge him at all. He has a very strong sense of time.

Before 1 p.m., Cao Shujie had a full meal and strolled over.

After arriving here, Cao Shujie realized why there were still people quarreling after queuing up. At a glance, there were about 100 people.

"Is there nothing left to do?" Cao Shujie thought in his mind.

But he didn't know that because of his reasons, he might attract many customers, and also cause men, women and children in Caojiazhuang to want to come over and witness the miraculous scene. .

And this result will also determine whether they choose to plant kiwi fruit next.

In addition, if you apply for a job as a waiter recruited by the village committee, you will also get a salary, so why not do it.

Because of this, when someone was waiting in line, he was afraid that it would not be his turn to be recruited, so he started to quarrel with the person in front of him.

But no one expected that Cao Jianlong would handle this kind of matter so simply and seasonedly, driving away all the quarrelsome ones, and not allowing them to participate in the subsequent unified planting of kiwi fruits or raising cattle.

This hand also calmed the others present.

They all knew that Cao Jianlong was not playing tricks, so many people were queuing up under the sun without saying a word, and the scene looked strangely quiet.

When they saw Cao Shujie coming in, many people called him Director Cao.

There are also people who are familiar with Cao Shujie and call him by his name.

Cao Shujie came to the village committee office and saw Cao Jianlong, Cao Zhengcun and the others in the room. He was a little surprised and said: "Uncle Long, there are a lot of people here. This is really beyond my expectation."

"Don't talk about you. I didn't expect there would be so many people, but it doesn't matter. Let's just leave it like that. Do you talk to them or should I talk to them?" Cao Jianlong looked at Cao Shujie and asked him.

Cao Shujie said: "Uncle Long, come on."

"I can't speak as eloquently as you these days, so you should do it." Cao Jianlong pushed this job to Cao Shujie again.

Cao Shujie originally wanted to politely refuse, but Cao Jianlong said that the people outside were still basking in the sun, and it would be very painful for them to stay in the sun for an extra quarter of an hour.

Cao Shujie didn't say anything else, and he didn't waste any time. He turned around and went outside. He held a black wired microphone in his hand and explained to everyone present that there might be many tourists from other places coming to pick kiwi fruits this time. .

At the same time, it was also said that unified management, parking management, and logistics services should be done from today on.

In addition, all people belonging to Caojiazhuang are also required to provide corresponding logistical support services.

After Cao Shujie finished speaking, Cao Jianlong took the microphone and said to everyone present in vulgar words: "If anyone tries to hinder Caojiazhuang, I will deal with him personally."

Cao Jianlong's words were still very powerful, and coupled with the punishment he had just imposed on those who had quarreled, no one at the scene really stood up to look for trouble, and no one deliberately hindered Caojiazhuang.

…

Also starting in the afternoon, more and more people came to Cao Shujie, Cao Jianlong and others to sign up to plant kiwi fruit.

Whether it is Cao Jianlong or Cao Shujie, they have never been afraid of more people planting kiwi fruit. In their view, the more people planting kiwi fruit, the better, which will create a greater scale effect.

For Cao Shujie, even if all the more than 1,000 people in the village grow kiwi fruit, Cao Shujie and Cao Jianlong don't think it's too much.

"Shujie, I'll also sign up. Fill it out for me. All six acres of our land are planted with kiwi fruit." someone shouted.

In addition to those who signed up to grow kiwis, there are also some people who signed up to raise cattle.

In addition to these two situations, what Cao Shujie and Cao Jianlong did not expect was that there were a small number of people who signed up to plant kiwis and raise cattle.

These people also want to walk on two legs like Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie also specially observed this wave of people who wanted to walk on two legs. He found that they all had better living conditions than others in the village.

"No wonder, these people have some family background themselves." Cao Shujie thought to himself.

I came here in the afternoon and was busy until the evening. Then I finished the work and all the people lining up outside went home.

Cao Shujie and Cao Jianlong looked at the densely packed names on the paper with expressions of joy on their faces.

Lu Ping, the women's director of Caojiazhuang, said from the side: "I just counted, there are 76 people who have signed up to plant kiwi fruit, which is more than we originally expected."

After finishing speaking, Lu Ping was also a little worried: "Secretary Cao, Director Cao, if so many people grow kiwi fruit and the output increases significantly, will our kiwi fruit still be sold?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Shujie burst out laughing.

He asked Lu Ping: "Aunt Ping, do you know how much land our village has?"

Lu Ping nodded and said, "I know this. There are more than 2,300 acres of land in total."

"Well, I can say this. Even if all these 2,000 acres of land were planted with kiwi fruit, the amount would be inconspicuous in the country. As long as the quality is good, there is no need to worry about selling."

Everyone knows this truth, but the problem is that the amount here is already quite large.

"Shujie, let's assume that one acre of land yields 4,000 kilograms of kiwi fruit in a good harvest. If these 76 households have an average of 5 acres of land, this is 1.52 million kilograms of kiwi fruit. Are you sure we can really sell it?" Lu Ping took out her mobile phone and calculated the numbers. She felt that it was not that easy.

Thinking of the figure of millions of pounds, her heart felt heavy.

But Cao Shujie still looked confident. Seeing him like this, Lu Ping didn't ask anything else.

The people who lined up outside in the evening had all registered and gone home, and it was time for Cao Shujie and the others to leave.

Cao Zhengcun, Lu Ping, Gao Changyin and others left first.

Cao Jianlong and Cao Shujie walked a little slower. Cao Jianlong also asked Cao Shujie the answer to the question just now.

He didn't think much about it at first, but when he heard Lu Ping's estimate of 1.52 million kilograms, Cao Jianlong realized that the matter was not as optimistic as he thought.

"Shujie, what do you think?" Cao Jianlong asked him.

Cao Shujie didn't even think about it and said directly: "Uncle Long, there is no problem at all. Just rest assured."

1.52 million kilograms sounds like a lot, but it really doesn’t amount to much if you put these fruits out.

The top priority, and the most critical thing, should actually be to establish a fruit brand that belongs to Caojiazhuang.

It may be difficult to sell these 1.52 million kilograms of kiwis as ordinary kiwis, but it would be much easier to sell them if they are branded.

…

When we got home, the family had finished dinner.

Seeing him come in, Cheng Xiaolin asked him if he wanted to eat now.

"Is there any more food? If so, bring me some. I'll wash up first." Cao Shujie was a little tired.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "You go and wash up, and I'll serve you food."

When Cao Shujie came down after taking a shower and changing clothes, porridge, vegetables, and steamed buns were all ready.

"Shujie, why have you been busy for so long?" Cheng Xiaolin was puzzled.

While eating, Cao Shujie told his wife what happened in the village committee compound this afternoon. After hearing this, Cheng Xiaolin felt a little incredible. She said, "Are so many people going to plant kiwi fruit?"

"No, what we originally discussed was that 30 to 40 households could grow kiwi fruit, and there were also some who raised cattle. Who knew that now there are only 76 households that have signed up to grow kiwi fruit." Cao Shujie did not expect this.

But he didn't care. "The more, the merrier," he said.

"You still need to find a big customer. I always feel a little unsafe if you rely on individual customers to pick the fruit or sell it to the wholesale fruit market." Cheng Xiaolin reminded her husband.

Cao Shujie also thought of this. He said to his wife: "Let me take a look and take the time to talk about a factory that makes juice or deep-processes fruits."

"Shujie, I think this is a bit difficult. Many companies have fixed supply channels, and it's difficult for you to join in halfway." Cheng Xiaolin said.

There is nothing wrong with her saying this, and Cao Shujie himself agrees with this statement.

But Cao Shujie feels that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he can try to fight for it.

He said: "Don't deny yourself first, I don't think the problem is big."

The conversation lasted until late at night. Mengmeng was so sleepy that she couldn't stand it any longer, so she asked her mother to coax her to sleep.

When Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin felt sleepy, they looked at the time on their phones and it was almost 1 p.m.

The couple didn't talk about anything else and went to bed quickly.

In the morning, Cao Shujie couldn't get up this time. He went straight to sleep. He was so sleepy that he kept rubbing his eyes but still didn't want to get up.

Just when Cao Shujie was still thinking about lying on the bed and taking another nap, his wife was startled and yelled.

Seeing Cao Shujie open his eyes, Cheng Xiaolin shouted to him: "Shujie, it's bad, something big has happened."

Seeing that his wife looked so bad, Cao Shujie was really frightened. He asked, "Wife, what's the matter? Or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes at her husband, and then said: "Shujie, I was watching the news just now, and I saw a news saying that Bitcoin production will be reduced in the near future. Is this true or false?"

“If it cuts production, won’t the Bitcoins in your hand also cut production?”

"What production reduction?" Cao Shujie didn't hear clearly until his wife told him again. Cao Shujie was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Honey, is this news reliable? Do we really want to reduce production?"

"How do I know the news I read online is unreliable?" Cheng Xiaolin felt that she couldn't explain it to her husband.

Cao Shujie was no longer sleepy at this moment. He got up from the bed, got dressed, went to the outside cabin, logged in to his account on the computer, and started searching for information on Bitcoin production cuts.

It really allowed him to search for a lot of information.

But not now. According to information online, Bitcoin has plans to reduce production in the near future.

At the same time, many people on the Internet are still discussing the price of Bitcoin, because Bitcoin has dropped from the highest price of 44 US dollars per coin in May to now, with only 7 US dollars left per coin. It has dropped 84% in a short period of time. This thing makes many people feel incredible.

It's even less reliable than Big A!

Some self-media on the Internet have been pushing more and more Bitcoin-related news recently.

But to be honest, he is optimistic about production reduction.

"I just don't know if the market is buying it? After falling so much, it's almost time to bottom out, right?" Cao Shujie thought to himself.

He is thinking that if nothing unexpected happens, when the news of Bitcoin production reduction comes to light, a new round of Bitcoin price increases will begin.

"End of the year?" Cao Shujie was thinking about this issue.

In terms of time, there is not much time left before the rise he calculated.

Although he had never paid attention to the situation of Bitcoin in his previous life, he knew that Bitcoin production had indeed been reduced several times, but he could not remember the specific time of the reduction.

After reading all the news that could be found on the Internet, Cao Shujie closed those websites and opened the btC trading system platform on his computer.

The price of Bitcoin at this moment is very cheap compared to the high price some time ago.

It's just that the price of this thing goes up and down, which makes it difficult for people to straighten their mood.

However, Cao Shujie had no intention of selling. After reading the news and the daily K chart of Bitcoin, he turned off the computer.

Cheng Xiaolin saw that he turned off the computer so quickly and remained silent. She was quite worried about him, fearing that he would not be able to bear the blow, so she asked him: "Husband, are you okay?"

Cao Shujie nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Cheng Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her husband say it was okay.

From this day on, the Caojiazhuang Village Committee became busier and busier.

But as time passes, it looks like tomorrow will be Saturday.

At this time, both Cao Shujie and Cao Jianlong began to become nervous. It would depend on tomorrow whether anyone would come.

Even Cheng Xiaolin was wearing breezy clothes. She thought about going for a walk in the fields to see if there was anything she could do to help.

At this time, Caojiazhuang was very lively even though it was not Saturday yet.

Many people in Caojiazhuang don't know how to receive some people who come from the county, city or provincial capital.

At this time, Cao Shujie personally went into battle and demonstrated to others.

Including the tone of voice, expression, and even body language movements of hands and feet when talking to people.

When someone comes here and sees Cao Shujie, they will take the initiative to say hello to him and think about taking a photo with him.

Cao Shujie welcomed them all and helped as a backdrop.

Time passed unknowingly, and Caojiazhuang gradually calmed down after a busy day. The people who came to pick kiwi fruits in advance all left, and many people in Caojiazhuang who were doing service work for the first time also went home.

But Cao Shujie was not in a hurry to go home. He and Cao Jianlong were still busy, holding a meeting with 14 fruit farmers to explain what they should do tomorrow.
