The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Chapter 45: Don’t be too optimistic (please read and recommend monthly votes)

"Husband, don't brag about yourself." Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes at him: "You'll know if it tastes good or not in a few months when it's cooked."

Cao Shujie chuckled, not as knowledgeable as his wife, and continued to tell Xu Fang and Ye Beiwen: "Don't believe me, everything I said is true."

He pointed to a small house that had just been built not far away and said: "You see that place? I just hired someone to drill a well several hundred meters deep into the ground some time ago. The water is clean, so I Just use this mountain spring water to irrigate this orchard, and think about whether the fruit is delicious or not."

Seeing her husband's vows, Cheng Xiaolin did not make trouble this time and gave him an encouraging smile.

The small house above the well was built by Cao Shujie after Han Dingping and others completed digging the well. Cao Zhenggang asked Cao Zhenggang to help build the house.

For them, this is a small job, something convenient, and they can make money, so why not do it.

Ye Beiwen, Huang Jingmin, and Deng Miaoshan were taking a group photo standing next to the fruit trees they planted.

They posed in various cute poses, and each held a small card with their name and date on it, so that others could take photos of each other and take pictures.

Cao Shujie said to his wife: "Look, their trip this time was not in vain."

"Husband, you are such a thief!" Cheng Xiaolin really admired him. How did his head come up with such a 'bad idea'? It was simply incredible!

"What are you talking about? I'm doing business." Cao Shujie walked towards Cao Zhenggang.

When he got there, he asked, "Grandpa Zhenggang, please see when you are free, and I will settle the account with you."

"Shujie, don't worry about this. Let's finish the work here." Cao Zhenggang pointed to a group of people who were installing barbed wire guardrails and said.

More than half of this piece has been installed. The main trouble is digging holes at 4-meter intervals, pouring cement, and having to wait for the cement piers to completely solidify before drilling expansion screws. Installation is actually the simplest task.

Coupled with the capacity efficiency limitations of the ‘Chenzheng Protection Network’, the construction time was also slowed down.

Fortunately, I have been busy these past few days and it is almost finished.

Moreover, there was still some left over from the wire protective net that Cao Shujie purchased this time, so he asked Cao Shujie to circle a piece of the protective net for breeding purposes.

Hearing Cao Zhenggang say that he was not in a hurry to settle the bill, Cao Shujie was no longer anxious: "Okay, let's finish it in two days and settle the bill together."

That night, Deng Miaoshan, Ye Beiwen, Huang Jingmin, and Xu Fang had dinner at Cao Shujie's house again. Cao Shujie and his sister drove the four of them to the town and found a place for them near the bus station. Hotel, two people sharing a night.

Ye Beiwen and the others have seen that all the flowers in the orchard on the mountain have indeed fallen, and they have also planted fruit trees with their own hands. Waiting for them to bloom and bear fruit will be next year. They will have nothing to do if they stay, and they will cause trouble to Cao Shujie's family. I might as well take a car and go somewhere else early tomorrow morning.

"I'll come over tomorrow morning and take you to have breakfast together." Cao Huifang said one last time after settling her four classmates.

But Deng Miaoshan waved her hand and said, "Fangfang, just do your thing. Let's sleep a little longer tomorrow morning and prepare breakfast by ourselves. After dinner, go to the station and take the train. You don't have to run back and forth. It's so troublesome."

After she finished speaking, several other people also advised her, and Cao Huifang gave up the idea of ​​coming to see them off.

It was almost nine o'clock when Cao Shujie and his sister came home from town. Mengmeng had not gone to bed yet and was playing in the bedroom. When she saw him coming, Mengmeng ran directly to him and raised her little face: "Dad, Little kitten.”

Cao Shujie was a little confused: "You want the little wild cat?"

"No." Mengmeng shook her head: "Kitty, skirt."

"Where is it?" Cao Shujie asked her, and said, "I'll find it for you."

"Money, buy!" Mengmeng stretched out her little hand in front of her father and shouted loudly.

Cheng Xiaolin was laughing next to her, and Cao Shujie understood it this time: "Wife, where can I buy it? Buy one for her."

"Before you came back just now, we were playing on Taobao, and she fell in love with a short-sleeved pink T-shirt with Doraemon printed on it, and she had to buy it," Cheng Xiaolin said.

It's just a piece of clothing, Cao Shujie doesn't care: "Then buy it."

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter with a smile: "Mengmeng, why don't you thank your father quickly?"

"Thank you, dad!" Mengmeng held her hands together and said vaguely.

Looking at her cute little appearance, the expression on Cao Shujie's face became softer, and the smile in his eyes could overflow.

"Husband, have you settled the little sisters?" Cheng Xiaolin was still worried about this matter.

Cao Shujie nodded: "We are all staying in the hotel, don't worry."

He then said to Cheng Xiaolin: "Honey, I'm thinking that while there's nothing major happening now, let's go out and play for two days."

"There is still work on the mountain. Where do you want to go?" Cheng Xiaolin said.

There was still a lot of trouble at home, and she didn't want to go out at this time.

"Besides, during the May Day holiday, the scenic spots outside are full of people. When the time comes, people will be crowded with cute people. In the past, you couldn't see anything. It was so boring." Cheng Xiaolin shook her head, she didn't want to go.

After hearing what his wife said, Cao Shujie temporarily gave up the plan.

I was thinking of getting everything done here quickly, and it wouldn't be too late to go out in a few days.

Cao Shujie is very motivated now. At least he is no longer mentally exhausted. His mentality is very relaxed and he works very hard every day.

"Dad, ride a horse." Mengmeng shouted.

Cao Shujie quickly grabbed his daughter's armpits with both hands, put her on his shoulders and sat down, and pressed his arms tightly on her calves: "Sit down, Mengmeng, let's go."

"Hehe, come on!" Mengmeng's cheerful laughter sounded. When Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo heard it from next door, the faces of the old couple were also full of smiles.

"Lao Cao, it's good for me to watch my son struggle at home," she said.

Cao Jianguo was obviously not that optimistic. He lit up a cigarette, took a long puff, and squinted his eyes slightly, so that the originally inconspicuous black mole on his face became more prominent: "It's not as easy as you think. ?”

"Shujie took over nearly 80 acres at home and planted them all with fruits. When the fruits on the trees are ripe, how to sell them will be a problem."

Thinking of this, the expression on Cao Jianguo's face was not relaxed.

Fruits all have a shelf life. Once they cannot be sold, they will all be lost in your own hands, which will be a disaster.

Wang Yuelan is a little more optimistic than him: "I think since Shujie dares to take the contract, it means that he has a plan. Besides, our son is studying agriculture, so I believe him."

"You are really a mother." Cao Jianguo didn't want to discuss this issue with his wife.

He said: "After waiting for two years, I contacted several fruit sellers in advance to see if they could digest Shujie's ones first. If not, I would spend some money to find a cold storage to store the rest."

"Yeah, that's okay." Wang Yuelan nodded in agreement.

It’s not true that she has long hair and short knowledge, and she knows what her husband said makes sense.

Slowly, as the moon reached its peak, the occasional barking of a dog came from outside. The little wild cat on the roof and the little husky in the dog cage also barked twice.

After a while, a cloud floated over to cover the moon in the sky. Caojiazhuang instantly fell into darkness, and all the sounds became quiet.

Early the next morning, Cao Shujie woke up to the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking. It was another beautiful day.
