00) Make up for yesterday 27138

"Dongdong, come here." Cheng Xiaolin called to her nephew.

The little guy looked at his parents and then at Cheng Xiaolin. The closeness born of blood made him take steps forward.

But before he reached Cheng Xiaolin, he turned around and ran back to his mother Liu Yingying.

Liu Yingying was a little embarrassed: "Sister, in the past few days since I came back, I have been teaching him every day, and he is more courageous than before."

Cheng Xiaolin did not deny this, she nodded: "It's okay, take your time."

She could see that her nephew's progress was obvious.

The few times we came here last year, this little guy hid behind his grandma and didn't dare to see her.

At that time, he was only bolder when playing with children of the same age as Mengmeng.

"Yingying, don't worry, Dongdong is doing very well now." Cheng Xiaolin encouraged her younger siblings.

Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin and their family of three were going back in the afternoon and did not drink at noon.

Six adults and two children sat around a square table and talked about the changes in the past year.

From work to all aspects of life, the ones who have changed the most are undoubtedly Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin.

How much courage it takes to dare to give up the job of ensuring a good harvest despite droughts and floods and return to your hometown for development. My mother-in-law, Li Xiaojuan, has never gone out to work, so she may not be able to understand it.

But father-in-law Cheng Rengui and brother-in-law Cheng Yunping knew it very well.

Cheng Yunping said with some envy: "Sister, brother-in-law, you two look younger now."

"Nonsense, I'm already old." Cheng Xiaolin touched her face and was stunned for a moment. It seemed to be quite smooth.

Liu Yingying then said: "Sister, you look really much younger. Look at your skin. It's much better than before. I can't describe the feeling. It's like..."

Just when she was thinking of finding a word to describe it, she turned around and saw her niece Mengmeng and her son competing to eat meat. An idea flashed in her mind, and she pointed at Mengmeng and said, "Sister, your skin now looks like...

It’s so cute, really, take a look and see if it’s like this.”

The more he talked, the more he said it. Cheng Xiaolin said: "That's nonsense. I'm almost thirty years old and it's still the same as egg white. I'm not a monster. Hurry up and eat."

She said this, but she was already happy in her heart, thinking that the touch just now was indeed very tender and smooth: "Is it true that the regular life of these nine months has changed so much?"

Liu Yingying was filled with envy. She asked curiously: "Sister, what kind of cosmetics do you use?"

"Cosmetics?" Cheng Xiaolin shook her head and said, "I just use normal water and cream, nothing special."

"I should be at home and don't have to rush to work. I can live a regular life every day. My mood is different from before." Cheng Xiaolin analyzed herself.

Cheng Yunping held the wine glass: "Sister, that was made by my brother-in-law. You have a good life, so you can enjoy it, otherwise there would be no such good thing."

After he finished speaking, he toasted to Cao Shujie: "Brother-in-law, I want to toast you. Thank you for taking the trouble to raise my sister so heartlessly."

"Bang!" Cheng Xiaolin waved her hand and said, "I'm like a sword!"

Cao Shujie also started laughing.

My father-in-law decided to raise cattle after the new year. Cao Shujie asked him: "Dad, have you found a suitable calf? If not, I will tell my partner and ask him to give it to you after the new year."

Here are five calves."

Since Cheng Rengui decided to raise them, he no longer hesitated and asked, "How much will it cost for 5 calves?"

Cao Shujie couldn't say it well. He knew in his heart that the price of calves bought last year was no longer meaningful, so he said: "Dad, the price of beef has been rising this year, and the price of calves is also rising. I have to call and ask.

I’ll tell you again.”

"Okay!" Cheng Rengui nodded without urging.

Cao Shujie took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and dialed Cui Jingguo's number directly.

After waiting for Cui Jingguo to answer the phone, Cao Shujie heard the voices of many people talking on the other side, and vaguely heard someone asking him something like, "Boss Cui, how much does Niuduzi cost now?"

He thought to himself: "Could someone come to buy a calf?"

After a while, I heard Cui Jingguo shout: "Boss Cao, what are you busy with?"

"What else can I be busy with? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Come and visit my father-in-law's house." Cao Shujie was chatting with him. During this period, Cao Shujie heard someone loudly asking Cui Jingguo how much a pound of calf costs.

"Boss Cui, you are very busy over there." Cao Shujie said with a smile: "Congratulations on getting rich!"

"Haha, Cheng Jiyan, thank you, Boss Cao." Cui Jingguo's laughter became even more hearty. He said, "I have been raising cattle for more than 20 years. Who knew that the price this year would be the most ridiculous."

Cao Shujie understands, and he knows that as people's demand for beef further increases, the price of cattle will increase again.

This is called demand opening up the market.

"Boss Cui, how much does a calf cost now?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Cui Jingguo was surprised: "Boss Cao, you want it now? Not later in the year?"

"Just give it to me after 100 years. My father-in-law also wants to raise it," Cao Shujie said.

"That's it." Cui Jingguo was very happy. He said: "Boss Cao, we have an old cooperative relationship, and I won't lie to you. We offer a fixed price of 1,700 yuan for calves weighing less than 300 kilograms. What do you think?

"

When talking about the price, Cao Shujie obviously felt that Cui Jingguo's voice was much quieter, as if he was covering his mouth and whispering for fear of being heard by others.

"Boss Cui, can't it be cheaper? I will probably buy more after the new year. There will be more than 100 by then!" Cao Shujie asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Jingguo said firmly: "Boss Cao, we have an old relationship. You are my old customer. The quantity is large. I promise to give you the lowest price in the market. Even if the market price increases after the year,

I won’t give you an increase either, let’s keep it at this price.”

He said: "The general selling price of calves on the market now is more than 9 yuan."

"Boss Cui, at the price you mentioned, when the strawberries in my orchard are ripe in a few months, you can bring your sister-in-law, nephew, and niece over to pick strawberries and eat them." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Relationships naturally come and go, so they can last longer.

When Cui Jingguo heard what he said, he was not polite: "Okay, Brother Cao, let me tell you the truth. Your sister-in-law, nephew, and niece ate your kiwis last year, and they later bought other people's kiwis, but they were all wrong.

It tastes good, and you have been telling me to wait until your kiwi fruits are ripe, pick more, take them home and eat them slowly."

"Haha, Brother Cui, I will call you when the kiwi fruit is ripe, and it will be free of charge then!" Cao Shujie promised with a laugh.

He said: "If I wait another year, the yellow-heart kiwifruit and the red-heart kiwifruit in my orchard will start to bear fruit, which one will be more delicious."

Cui Jingguo admired Cao Shujie very much. He could only say that everyone has their own expertise, which was absolutely correct.

Cao Shujie has made in-depth research on planting at a young age, otherwise he would not be able to grow such delicious fruits.

Finally, Cui Jingguo suddenly remembered something and asked: "Boss Cao, where is your father-in-law's house?"

"Oops, look at my brain, I forgot to tell you that he is in Chengjiapo, Dayao Town, Anwu County." Cao Shujie said.

"Dayao Town in Anwu County is a bit far away. According to common sense, we can deliver the goods to your home for free within Pingyuan County. Outside the county, you have to pay some freight. But since we are old friends, we will forget the money."

Cui Jingguo then returned it, and both of them understood it tacitly.

After chatting for a while, Cao Shujie finally hung up the phone and said to his father-in-law: "Dad, the price of calves is a bit high now, 1,700 yuan per head, 8,500 yuan for 5 heads, free shipping."

Last year, I could have bought several more heads at this price.

But he had no choice but to follow the market trend, and price increases were inevitable. He also had a hunch that the price would get higher and higher in the coming time.

Cao Shujie began to think in his mind. From the perspective of reducing costs, he had to be prepared to breed and support himself. Buying more cows to achieve self-breeding was the best way to achieve long-term development.

He kept this matter in his heart and did not say it out loud.

Cheng Rengui was also surprised. At this stage, the price is really not high.

After he decided to raise cattle, he went to inquire about the price of calves. The price of a calf weighing about 300 kilograms did not even drop to 2,000 yuan.

The price given by his son-in-law is at least 300 yuan cheaper. If he buys five calves, he can almost save the money for one calf. To him, this is not a small sum.

"Shujie, this price is fine. It's really not expensive. Just ask him to give me 5 of them. I'll get used to it and take my time." Cheng Rengui was quite straightforward.

Cheng Yunping was holding a wine glass to toast his brother-in-law again.

This kid spoke dryly, repeating the same few sentences over and over again, showing obvious lack of social experience.

But he didn't understand this kind of thing, and no one could help him. Cao Shujie told him to take Yingying for a walk after he finished his work.

Just stop talking!

When leaving, Cao Shujie left 2,000 yuan for his mother-in-law so that they could buy something for themselves during the New Year.

Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui said nothing like asking for the money, but Cao Shujie still forced him to keep it.

Cheng Xiaolin thought about the scene where her husband was domineering and left money, and she would be lying if she said she wasn't moved!

"Husband, why are you so nice to me?" Cheng Xiaolin asked Cao Shujie, who was driving in front of her, on the way back to Caojiazhuang.

Cao Shujie smiled "haha" and said, "I am asking, are you stupid?"

"You haven't said anything yet?" Cheng Xiaolin held on to her hand.

Cao Shujie said: "I am not good to you, how can I be expected to be good to others? Find another mistress, isn't this nonsense!"

"When you gave me sex, you got stabbed 7 times. It's not like I can't remember it." Cao Shujie looked ahead and drove seriously.

He said: "Silly ladies, please don't ask such stupid questions again."
