Mengmeng nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."

There was no car inspection on the road, and they returned home smoothly. Cao Shujie first unloaded all the fireworks in the car.

Mengmeng didn't care that her father was busy, she was chasing him to throw the cannon.

Cheng Xiaolin couldn't stand it, so she found a cannon for her daughter and asked her to play with it by herself.

Who knew that Mengmeng opened the bag containing the cannons, grabbed a handful of cannons and threw them to the ground.

The sound of "pah pah pah" sounded, and all the cannons in Mengmeng's hand were thrown out.

She thought it was really fun to play like this, so she threw a handful out again.

After seeing her father coming over, Mengmeng's eyes were rolling. She took out a package from the box and broke it. She didn't even tear the bag and threw it at her father's feet.

The banging banging sound startled Cao Shujie.

After Cao Shujie regained his composure, Mengmeng was in bad luck.

Cao Shujie didn't tolerate her this time, and slapped Mengmeng firmly on her butt. At that moment, he didn't care.

But if someone else had changed just now, if it had been his grandfather, and that bag of cannons had been thrown at his grandfather's feet, his grandfather would have probably been startled and then fell down...

Mengmeng was beaten, and it was useless no matter how sad she cried. Cheng Xiaolin did not help her this time. She also felt that what her daughter did just now was indeed a bit too much.

…

It was only after one o'clock when Cao Shujie came out of home after finishing his work.

She noticed that several trucks with truck bodies welded with reinforced steel bars drove into Caojiazhuang and drove southward.

When he smelled the smell of pig feces emanating from the car, Cao Shujie blinked. He seemed to know what they were doing?

"Could it be that Uncle Hua's pigs are going to be sold?" Cao Shujie thought to himself.

He knew that Cao Jianhua's 300 pigs had not been sold yet. Thinking about it, he knew that he would have to wait for the market price to be higher.

This is normal and no one says anything.

"Go and have a look?" Cao Shujie had an idea in mind. He didn't want to walk to the south end of Caojiazhuang, so he went home and told his wife, rode an electric bike directly to the Yellow River dam, and then walked south.

Prepare to go down from the dam crossing in the south, which is very close to Cao Jianhua's pig farm.

While walking on the dam, Cao Shujie suddenly spotted a van coming from the south. He saw that the van seemed to have an out-of-town license plate, and it looked familiar to him. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

"When have I seen it?" Cao Shujie thought seriously.

When he passed the van, he turned his head and glanced inside the van. There were two people sitting in the front and one person sitting in the middle. He couldn't see clearly from behind.

However, when he passed the van, Cao Shujie vaguely heard a barking sound coming from the van. The sound was not loud, and he didn't know if he heard it wrong.

He continued riding his electric scooter southward, and soon he arrived at the damxia intersection in the south. He went straight down, turned left, and soon saw Cao Jianhua's pig farm.

…

At this time, in the van running slowly on the dam, the bald Brother Qiang was also frowning and thinking. He asked the other two people in the van: "Do you think the guy riding the electric bike just now looks familiar?"

"Brother Qiang, who's riding an electric bike?" The man in the middle seat had been playing with his mobile phone and didn't even notice what was going on outside.

The young man driving the car was also frowning and thinking. From a quick glance just now, he vaguely remembered where he had seen the other person.

After a while, he said "Ouch" and said, "Brother Qiang, the guy riding the electric bike just now is the guy we saw walking the dog in the morning, right?"

"You're right, it's him!" Bald Qiang nodded: "I wonder why he looks so familiar."

As soon as he thought of this, Brother Qiang muttered: "I don't know if he still remembers us. If he does, we can't be here anymore and have to change places."

"Brother Qiang, are you overthinking this? Our van is so ordinary. Or does it have a foreign license plate? Who can remember us?" said the young man driving the car.

This principle is very simple and can be understood with a little thought.

After listening to this, Brother Bald Qiang nodded repeatedly: Collar, what you said makes sense."

"But when I go back today, I need to clean up these dogs first. Leaving them in the car is also a problem." Bald Qiang said.

The other two people also had the same idea. Taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese New Year was about to come and dog meat was in short supply, they went to the county town to sell the dogs for money first, so that they could be safe.

"Let's go to the county town first and come back tomorrow." Brother Bald Qiang said.

…

Cao Shujie came to the outside of Cao Jianhua's pig farm and saw several trucks that he had just seen parked at the door of the pig farm. Cao Jianhua and several people were busy in the pig farm, preparing to catch pigs.

Seeing Cao Shujie coming, Cao Jianhua called out to him: "Shujie, why are you here?"

"Uncle Hua, I just saw these cars heading south, and I knew they were coming to your side." Cao Shujie said.

Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Jianhua said with a smile: "The pigs are already heavy. If the price is still good, sell them as soon as possible, and you can save some feed money."

The pigs he raised were ready for slaughter more than ten days ago. Some people came over and asked him if he would sell them, but he didn't and kept waiting.

Now that I feel that the price of 8 yuan and 70 cents per pound is appropriate, I contact the slaughterhouse in the county and prepare to sell them all.

The slaughterhouse knew that he had 300 pigs here, and it was when they needed the pigs most, so they reached an agreement immediately and settled the bill in cash.

"Eight yuan and seven pounds per pound, this price is really not low." Cao Shujie also pays attention to the recent purchase price of live pigs, and he knows something about it.

Cao Jianhua nodded with a smile: "This price is fine, I don't ask for much, just don't pay, that's it."

The piglets he originally bought were equivalent to more than 600 yuan each. Now a pig for slaughter weighs more than 200 kilograms. At this conversion, a pig for slaughter can be sold for more than 1,700 yuan. At this price, after deducting labor costs, full-price feed breeding costs, etc.

This is equivalent to about 800 yuan. Theoretically, the remaining profit of a pig is still three to four hundred yuan.

300 pigs, totaling at least more than 90,000 pigs.

Not only did he not lose money, but he also made some money. Cao Jianhua was really satisfied this time.

When he saw Cao Shujie, he could not conceal his gratitude to Cao Shujie.

He kept saying: "Shujie, when I finish my work, let's have some drinks together tonight."

"Uncle Jianhua, do you still have rain boots? Let me help you." Cao Shujie said.

But Cao Jianhua waved his hand: "Don't come in. This thing is too dirty. There are pig manure everywhere. It's hard to wash if you get it on your body."

It's true, Cao Shujie can't stand being smoked outside.

But he was not deterred by this. He still found a pair of rain boots and put them on to help.

He was not the one who caught the pigs. When he saw three points weighing at the same time, he chose one of them and went over to help with the accounting.

When it got dark, Cao Jianhua turned on the lights of the pig farm and continued to catch and weigh pigs. He continued working until almost eight o'clock in the evening, when he finally finished cleaning up the pig farm.

Cao Jianhua originally wanted to ask them to go home for dinner together, but they both smelled strange and it was very late at this time, so they dispersed first.

Before leaving, Cao Jianhua also said that he would invite them to have dinner together at noon tomorrow.

Cao Shujie did not refuse.

It was almost half past eight when I returned home on my electric bike.

As soon as Cao Shujie entered the house, Daha and Erha in the family screamed wildly when they smelled the stench. When Cao Shujie shouted: "Daha, Erha, it's me."

The four dogs stopped barking, but Cheng Xiaolin in the room pinched her nose and said, "Shujie, did you just get out of the dung heap?"

"I went to help Uncle Jianhua and sell pigs to him." Cao Shujie said, "Honey, go upstairs and bring me a new set of clothes. I'll take a shower on the first floor."

Cheng Xiaolin hurriedly went to get him clothes.

Cao Huifang, who was reading in the living room on the first floor, was also badly smoked. She stopped staying in the living room and walked into the room holding her nose: "Brother, this smell is so unpleasant."

"You go ahead and play." Cao Shujie didn't care.

After his wife took off his clothes, Cao Shujie went directly to the bathroom to take a shower.

Mengmeng ran out of nowhere. As soon as she came over, she shouted loudly: "Mom, where is dad?"

"I heard daddy's voice," she said.

But then she smelled a stink in her nose, and she covered her nose with both hands: "Oh, it stinks, it stinks!"

"Mom, did daddy poop?" Mengmeng asked next.

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter, feeling tired.

Cao Shujie took two showers in the bathroom, applied shower gel twice, and then smelled his body. Only then did he feel better.

When he came out of the bathroom, he saw his wife still sitting on the sofa outside, so he asked her: "Honey, guess how much Uncle Hua's pigs sold for?"

"How much?" Cheng Xiaolin really had no idea.

She made a random guess and asked: "Three hundred thousand? Or four hundred thousand?"

His guess was really poor, so Cao Shujie changed his explanation again: "Then guess how much money Uncle Hua can make this time?"

"How do I know?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't even bother to guess.

Cao Shujie finally told her the amount. After hearing this, Cheng Xiaolin said "Ah": "How do you earn so much?"

Cao Shujie looked at his wife and thought to himself: "Wife, are you confused? Isn't more than 90,000 yuan money?"

…

At Cao Jianhua's house, after finishing his work and settling accounts with the people at the county slaughterhouse, Cao Jianhua came back after getting the money.
