Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter's pitiful look, and her heart softened: "Mengmeng, who told you this?"

"Mengmeng, listen to mom, mom and dad won't dislike you just because you have a little brother or sister."

"And mom likes you more than her little brother or sister." Cheng Xiaolin said sincerely.

"I don't believe it!" Mengmeng shook her head.

She covered her ears with her little hands and said with a slap in the face: "I won't listen, I won't listen!"

Mengmeng always feels that her mother is fooling her.

After Cao Shujie washed the lunch box, he walked to the door and listened to what his wife and daughter said in the office, but was not in a hurry to go in.

He was still sighing in his heart, today's children are really amazing, they are so young yet so sensitive.

In the room, Cheng Xiaolin said to her daughter: "Mengmeng, look, you are almost 4 years old. No matter if you have a little brother or a little sister in the future, does your mother like you four years earlier than she likes them?"

Cheng Xiaolin stunned Mengmeng with just one sentence!

Cao Shujie, who was standing at the door, also didn't understand.

He was wondering where his wife learned this from.

But Mengmeng was really fooled by Cheng Xiaolin this time. She blinked her eyes and said in confusion: "Mom, it's really true."

"Of course, mom won't lie to you!" Cheng Xiaolin pursued the victory.

But this really can't be done in one day, and besides, she's not pregnant yet, so take your time and don't rush.

Cao Shujie knocked on the door at the right time, pushed the door open and went in, shaking out the water from the washed lunch box: "Mengmeng, daddy, let's take you out for a walk."

Mengmeng stood up and ran to her mother, hugged Cheng Xiaolin's arm and said, "I won't go, I want to be with my mother."

Cao Shujie was still thinking about saying something, but seeing the moisture in his daughter's eyes, he finally gave up on taking her out for a walk.

"Then you and mother play in the house for a while, and father goes out to do some work." Cao Shujie said.

"Okay, dad." Mengmeng agreed happily.

Cao Shujie came outside, gathered in front of a table, and packed apples and kiwis into boxes like everyone else, affixed express delivery orders, and waited for Guan Peng from YTO Express to come and pick up the goods.

From the beginning of shipment to now, Cao Shujie has sold almost all the kiwi fruits from the other 11 villages in Qingshi Town.

There are only a few left. In other towns outside Qingshi Town, some people heard that the price of kiwi fruits collected by Cao Shujie is two or three cents higher than that of other fruit sellers. Many people drive their own cars to deliver the fruits to Cao Shujie.

As long as there are no bad consequences, Cao Shujie will naturally not refuse anyone who comes.

Because of this, even if the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are approaching, Cao Shujie's work has not stopped.

Even because of the festival, more people placed orders for fruits as gift boxes in his store.

"Director Cao, the corn at home is almost ripe. When should we start planting kiwi fruit saplings?" Song Huixia saw Cao Shujie coming and asked him.

Cao Shujie said with a smile: "When the corn is harvested and the land is plowed, we will start planting kiwi fruit saplings."

He said: "Don't worry, the fruit saplings have been ordered, at least 80,000, which is enough for big guys to allocate."

When Song Huixia and others heard the number mentioned by Cao Shujie, they had no idea how many 80,000 plants were.

Some people think that with so many people signing up, only 80,000 kiwi fruit saplings are enough.

Someone asked this question.

Cao Shujie patiently listed several sets of data for everyone: "Let me tell you this, if we use cement pillars for support and the fence density is 2 meters by 4 meters, we can plant about 80 kiwis in one acre of land.

"

"These 80,000 fruit saplings can be planted on almost 1,000 acres of land, which is equivalent to almost half of the land in our village being used to plant kiwi saplings," Cao Shujie said.

After this specific comparison, everyone understood.

However, someone still said: "Shujie, I heard that kiwis are also grown in Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang. Do they count among these 80,000 plants?"

When he said this, some people became nervous again.

Cao Shujie looked at everyone's nervousness and said, "It's okay. If it's not enough, we'll buy more. Don't worry, everyone, there will definitely be enough fruit saplings."

"I'm just telling you, Shujie can do things with peace of mind," someone said.

Cao Shujie smiled. He packed another box of kiwis and his cell phone rang in his trouser pocket.

Someone said: "Shujie, go ahead and do your work, we can just stay here."

"Yes, Director Cao, go and get busy!"

Cao Shujie nodded to them and walked towards the narrator with his cell phone in hand.

He looked at the three words 'Liu Furong' on the screen of his mobile phone and thought to himself: "Is this a return from study?"

As soon as the call was connected, Liu Furong's voice came: "Director Cao, are you free these two days?"

"Mayor Liu, are you finished studying?" Cao Shujie asked him.

"Well, I just came back a few days ago." Liu Furong said, "While I was away, a lot of things were delayed. When I come back, I will finish my work first and call you right away."

"Mayor Liu, you don't forget to work even when you are away from work. This is a blessing for us, the people of Qingshi Town." Cao Shujie opened his mouth.

Liu Furong didn't know how sincere Cao Shujie's words were, but he felt really comfortable listening to them.

"Director Cao, just tell me when you are free, and I will treat you to dinner."

When Cao Shujie heard this, he wondered what was going on. He said, "Mayor Liu, if you want to invite him, I should be the one to invite you."

"Director Cao, what you said is wrong. You have helped all the fruit farmers in Qingshi Town, and you have also helped us. It is not too late for Comrade Zhenjiang and I to thank you!" Liu Furong said.

Cao Shujie smiled and did not take what Liu Furong said seriously.

He said: "Mayor Liu, I'm busy in the town right now. What do you think of tonight? I'll treat you."

"Hey, Director Cao is in the factory. Okay, let's do it tonight." Liu Furong happily agreed.

He said: "I will arrange a place and I will call you in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, Liu Furong hung up the phone.

Cao Shujie always felt weird when he heard the sound of "doo, beep, beep".

Liu Furong wanted to invite him to dinner, was he going against it?

But for Cao Shujie, he was content with what he had come, and he didn't care about these details.

Putting his cell phone in his pocket, Cao Shujie went into the house and called his wife.

After hearing what he said, Cheng Xiaolin said: "Okay, you can put the car in the factory at night. If you drink too much, just sleep here."

After finishing speaking, she pointed to a corner of the office and said: "I put a folding bed there, and the quilt is placed under the filing cabinet for me to rest."

Especially now that it is the end of September, the temperature is not low, and it is quite comfortable to sleep here at night.

But Cao Shujie still shook his head: "That won't work, I'm just used to the bed at home."

"Besides, I can't sleep without you." Cao Shujie said this.

Cheng Xiaolin curled her lips and said to him: "Why didn't I see so many problems with you when I was in the capital before?"

"That's not true. He was trained this year." Cao Shujie had a bad mouth, and Cheng Xiaolin was so angry that she asked him to scratch him.

The couple was busy together until around 5 p.m., when Cheng Xiaolin drove Mengmeng back to Caojiazhuang.

Before leaving, she also told her husband: "Shujie, you should drink less at night."

"Don't worry!" Cao Shujie nodded.

Liu Furong had just called Cao Shujie and told him the place.

When Cao Shujie drove over, Liu Furong was already waiting there.

When he came over, he saw that Liu Furong was the only one. He thought he had come early and there were other guests who had not come.

"Director Cao, take a look at what you want to eat and just order it." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Shujie was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mayor Liu, I'm not in a hurry. Let's wait until everyone else arrives before ordering."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Liu Furong say: "There is no one else, it's just the two of us tonight, Director Cao, just order whatever you want to eat."

"Good guy, you really asked me to co-write it!" Cao Shujie felt a little strange in his heart.

When did he have such a big face?

"Mayor Liu, you're welcome." Cao Shujie ordered a few of his specialty dishes.

Liu Furong laughed and said, "Director Cao said it well. We are just getting together with old friends tonight. We have no other intention. We just drink and chat."

Cao Shujie always felt that things were not that simple. Even though Liu Furong looked rough and arrogant, it was undeniable that he was also very delicate in handling things sometimes.

While waiting for the waiter to serve the food, Liu Furong took the initiative to ask about Caojiazhuang's unified planting of kiwi fruit.

"Is Mayor Liu also paying attention to this matter?" Cao Shujie asked with a smile.

"Of course, how can I not pay attention to such a big thing?"

Liu Furong said so.
