Chapter 1086 Both of Them Are Clever (8000)
But the two of them still asked Cao Shujie privately whether there was a possibility of merging.
Cao Shujie didn't expect that the two were still thinking about this matter. How deep was their obsession.
"Aren't Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang developing well now? You two just need to develop your villages well. Our three villages will advance and retreat together. What does it matter whether they merge or not?" Cao Shujie said to them earnestly.
But the two shook their heads tacitly. They spoke almost at the same time and closed their mouths almost at the same time.
Zhu Hongwei looked at Zhuang Xuejian and stopped first: "Old Zhuang, you speak first."
Zhuang Xuejian was not polite and continued: "Secretary Cao, how can this be the same? It is true that we should advance and retreat together, but there is a difference between relatives and strangers. If Taodong Village is merged into Caojiazhuang, they will all be one village and one family in the future..."
"And Zhujiazhuang will also be merged." Zhu Hongwei glared at Zhuang Xuejian and followed the statement.
He found that Zhuang Xuejian was really unkind, so he let him speak first, intending to let him start, but who knew that Zhuang Xuejian kept talking about Taodong Village and never mentioned Zhujiazhuang. This old man had a very bad heart.
Cao Shujie wanted to laugh when he saw the two people fighting openly and secretly. This was really interesting.
But it must be said that these two people really worried about their village. Compared with Cao Jiangang, the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang at the time, they were more like excellent village party secretaries.
"You two, let's not talk about this first. You are all free. Let's have a drink at my house at noon." Cao Shujie asked them.
"Oh, how can I be so embarrassed to let Secretary Cao treat us, or I will." Zhuang Xuejian was the oldest and had a thick skin.
He thought about grabbing the opportunity to treat us. It was always right to be more attentive.
Zhu Hongwei also rushed to treat us. The two were very interesting.
But in the end, no one got it. Cao Shujie called Cao Jianlong again and asked him to come together.
The four of them ate at Cao Shujie's house.
At this time, both the Farmhouse Restaurant and the Xinjiang Restaurant were very busy, and Cao Shujie did not go to join in the fun.
Cao Shujie cooked a few simple dishes himself, but even so, Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian felt flattered.
They thought, apart from Cao Shujie's family, who else could Cao Shujie cook for them personally?
Cao Jianlong was so angry that he almost did not fight when he learned that the two of them came to merge Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang into Caojiazhuang.
It has been several years, and the two of them have not given up.
I remember that in the second year after Cao Shujie became the village director, when Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative and Agricultural Planting Cooperative took shape and the village committee began to distribute welfare, the two of them urged to merge the two villages.
To put it bluntly, they felt that the benefits were not enough and wanted to go further.
"Old Zhu, Old Zhuang, I won't say anything else. Don't be too greedy. It's good that your village has invested in Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative and Agricultural Planting Cooperative. The annual dividend is not a small amount. You can't earn so much by working outside. You can still stay with your wife and children. How can other villages have such treatment? We should not be too greedy." Cao Jianlong said while holding up the wine glass.
After that, he drank all the remaining wine in the glass.
Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei looked at each other, and looked at Cao Jianlong who had been waiting for them after drinking the wine in the glass. Their faces changed.
Cao Jianlong broke the window paper and hit their pain point.
The purpose of their repeated attempts to merge into Caojiazhuang was really the same as what Cao Jianlong said, that they could not have enough food.
They thought that after becoming a village, they should be able to get the same benefits as the villagers of Caojiazhuang. To put it bluntly, they were still greedy.
At this moment, they even felt that drinking was tasteless.
Cao Jianlong chuckled. He said it on purpose to save the two from talking endlessly.
For Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei, they were in different moods, so there was no point in continuing to drink.
They could have drunk for two hours, but it ended in more than an hour.
Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei also went home and prepared to reflect on themselves.
After watching them leave, Cao Jianlong pouted: "Shujie, did you see that? They are still thick-skinned enough. If it were me, you should refuse when you should. Don't be polite to them, otherwise they will be aggressive."
Cao Shujie smiled and nodded: "Uncle Long is right."
"Okay, I'll go around the village first. There are really not a few people coming these days. Our village is also in chaos. Everyone is not at peace at all." Cao Jianlong left with a curse again.
Cao Shujie found something very strange. Since Cao Jianlong voluntarily gave up his position and became the deputy secretary of the village, his temperament seemed to have become more free and easy.
He said whatever he wanted, without any ambiguity.
It was not like this before. When Cao Jianlong was the village party secretary, Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei came to talk to him about merging the village. At that time, Cao Jianlong was still vague, as if he was deliberately hanging them.
Cao Jianlong has changed a lot since then.
After returning home, Cao Shujie cleaned up the dishes and plates.
He went upstairs and lay down directly.
Cao Shujie has been busy these days and has not had a good rest. Now that he finally has time, Cao Shujie doesn't think about anything and lets himself have a good sleep first.
When his wife came back, she wanted to edit the video, but when she saw him sleeping in the bedroom, she turned off the computer and went downstairs quietly.
Others may not know, but Cheng Xiaolin knows it in her heart. Although her husband seems relaxed on the surface, he is actually under great pressure.
Many things are on her husband's shoulders alone. He is responsible for the lives of at least thousands of families. It is not easy to be a boss.
After Mengmeng came back from school, she ran up to him excitedly and called him: "Dad, you lazy pig, grandma asked me to call you to eat."
Cao Shujie opened his eyes in a daze and saw Mengmeng standing by the bed, pushing him hard with her hands.
After calling him several times but failing to wake him up, Mengmeng even used her hands to prop up his eyelids.
This naughty child.
Cao Shujie really wanted to slap her.
But when Mengmeng saw him open his eyes, she turned around and ran away in fear, calling grandma while running.
When they came downstairs, the food had been served on the dining table, and the family sat down, waiting for him to come over to eat together.
"Shujie, sit down and eat quickly." Cheng Xiaolin called him.
"Oh, I was thinking of getting up after lying in bed for a while, but how come I slept for so long after closing my eyes." Cao Shujie rubbed his forehead, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "Who told you not to rest well? Go out for a walk after dinner and come back to rest early."
Grandfather Cao Zhenghu also said: "Shujie, you are so young, you can't ruin your body like this. Look, you are almost the same as me."
Cao Shujie laughed: "Grandpa, you think too highly of me. If I can live to almost 100 years old like you and still be so strong, I will be really satisfied."
Cao Zhenghu was amused by him, but still said to him: "You will definitely live to more than 100 years old."
This is nonsense.
Wang Yuelan urged everyone to eat first, and said that the food was almost cold.
After waiting for the meal, Cao Shujie didn't want to move. Mengmeng pulled his hand to go out. Cao Yirui didn't want to sleep either. He wanted to go out to play.
Cao Shujie had no choice but to take his brother and sister out of the house and walk around the village.
Caojiazhuang is very chaotic during the day, but very quiet at night. These are two extremes that make people very uncomfortable.
However, most of the villagers who have been busy all day have gone to bed early after dinner. They have to get up early tomorrow morning to prepare the stalls. Tomorrow is another busy day.
Everyone knows that they are tired, but they were tired before, and they got sick and didn’t make any money.
Now they are tired, but they have savings in their hands, which will ensure their future and make them feel at ease.
Life is more promising, and everyone is optimistic about the future.
Mengmeng also told her father that there are fewer people on the street, and her friends don’t come out to play anymore.
“It really feels like living in a building.” Cao Shujie said inexplicably.
In the previous life, they lived in square houses one after another, rarely went downstairs, and even lived next door for several years without being able to call their names.
Unexpectedly, with the rapid economic development, Caojiazhuang has become like this now.
He was thinking about a question in his heart. Could it be that when the economy develops to a certain level, human touch becomes increasingly weak?
Unfortunately, there is no answer.
"Dad, hug me." Cao Yirui followed him all the way. He felt tired now and wanted Cao Shujie to carry him.
Cao Shujie bent down and picked up his son by his armpits. The little guy's weight was getting heavier and heavier. He felt that he was falling down in his arms.
"Ruirui, you are more than 30 kilograms. I can't hold you if you eat more." Cao Shujie teased his son.
But the little guy muttered: "I will tell grandma when I go back that you don't let me eat."
"It's useless even if you tell your grandpa." Would Cao Shujie be afraid of his son's threat?
Cao Yirui hummed unconvinced.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Cao Shujie suddenly said: "Ruirui, what toys do you want? Tell me, and Dad will buy them for you."
"Toys?" Cao Yirui's eyes lit up.
Cao Shujie nodded heavily and said to him: "As long as you don't say anything when you go home later, I will buy you any toys you want."
Mengmeng laughed when she heard her father say this, and said: "Dad, look at your cowardly look."
Cao Shujie's ears were sharp, and he glared at her: "You are a naughty child, but you have learned a lot of useless knowledge."
Mengmeng ran home before she could answer.
Cao Yirui was very smart. He didn't say a word at night. The next morning, when he saw his father go out, he chased his father for toys.
At this time, Cao Shujie had reason to believe that his son was indeed a little smart.
There was also more reason to believe that during the Spring Festival this year, his sister was playing tricks and asked for his red envelope in the name of buying toys for him. Cao Yirui gave the red envelope to his sister at that time, and then kept asking for toys.
At that time, Cao Shujie suspected that his son had a lot of tricks, and now his guess has been completely confirmed.
"This kid will not be simple when he grows up." Cao Shujie was full of emotion.
But he was also very relieved.
The current Xuemeng Food Factory, the orchard he planted, the breeding farm, the children's theme park and the laboratory under construction, as long as they develop normally, none of them will be too bad in the future.
In this case, Cao Shujie naturally wants to find a qualified successor.
In the past, Cao Shujie was very fond of his daughter Mengmeng. In the past two lives, Cao Shujie's care and love for his daughter are self-evident.
But over time, Cao Shujie found that although his daughter was thoughtful and bold, she was very rebellious in doing things. Cao Shujie could not guarantee whether his daughter's personality could take on such a big responsibility when she grew up.
Cao Shujie is very happy that his son Cao Yirui is still young, but he has revealed some cunningness of a businessman unconsciously.
Before leaving, Cao Shujie promised his son that he would bring him toys when he came back in the afternoon.
Cao Yirui was happy and quickly let go of his hand, asking his father to hurry up and leave.
After taking Mengmeng into the car, Mengmeng suddenly said: "Dad, I want toys too. If you don't buy them for me..."
The threat was obvious.
Cao Shujie said to her in annoyance: "I'll buy them for you. You have many problems."
"Hehe!" Mengmeng laughed.
She didn't care about anything else, as long as she got her own benefits.
Driving to the central primary school in the town, Cao Shujie said to his daughter: "Mengmeng, you must study hard. You will be in the third grade in the second half of the year. You will have more things to learn by then."
"Don't worry, Dad, just look at my performance." Mengmeng said confidently.
But Cao Shujie was unsure when he heard his daughter say that.
Driving to the factory, Factory 1 was very quiet. There were not many people walking around in the factory area. Everyone was busy at their respective posts.
Seeing nothing to do, Cao Shujie did not go upstairs and drove to Factory 2.
Compared with Factory 1, Factory 2 seemed very lively.
There were workshops that had already started construction, and workshops that were still under construction.
The key was that in the Phase 2 factory area, there were dormitory buildings, comprehensive office buildings, and a building that looked very ordinary.
That was the laboratory under construction.
Even the employees who had been walking here did not know what this building was used for. They only knew that the boss asked the construction party to build this building.
The construction party was even more confused. The building materials of this building were not ordinary, the cost was also very high, and the layout inside was completely different from that of a normal building.
The more rooms in other buildings were divided, the better. The fewer divisions this one had, the better, and the space was large.
They did not think much when they first took on this project, but now that the building has taken shape, they are even more confused.
But there is one thing everyone knows, don't ask what you shouldn't ask.
Cao Shujie parked his car in the parking lot in front, walked over here and looked at the building under construction, and then took a look at other factories, dormitories and comprehensive office buildings under construction. He felt very satisfied.
Everything was going according to his original plan, which made Cao Shujie feel very accomplished. (End of this chapter)
