"Even if he is always in Beijing, it's not a big deal. Hongmei is also looking after the children there, so it's not inconvenient for them to go to school." Cheng Xiaolin said.

"The elderly on both sides of the family have also been left behind and are unable to take care of them."

They had lived in the capital, where they had their own house and things were better in every way.

But it’s different with my two cousins. In these years, Wang Shouzhi and Long Hongmei haven’t bought a house in Beijing, and they have no plans to buy a house there.

When Cao Shujie heard his wife talking about this, he smiled and said to her, "Wife, what a coincidence! Today I was talking to Shouzhi about this issue. I transferred him back from Beijing to work as a sales manager at the steel ball factory."

"The steel ball factory will definitely need to develop in the next step. Shouzhi's business capabilities are also no problem. I feel at ease letting him go there to look after it." This is what Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin even teased her husband: "Shujie, you are appointing people based on personal connections."

"Nonsense! If I don't have the ability, I definitely won't send him there." Cao Shujie denied it.

Whether it is Lian Qijian or Wang Shouzhi who is just about to be transferred back, both of them have good personal abilities and have not let Cao Shujie down for their training over the years. This is also a point that Cao Shujie recognizes very much.

As far as Cao Shujie himself is concerned, he provided them with a good platform, but he must also admit that he also gave this platform to other people as well. However, as time passed, only a small number of people were able to achieve success after the test of time.

For example, when the overseas offices were uniformly implemented, it was not just Wang Shouzhi and Lian Qijian who went there.

It also includes Li Lin from the Northeast Office, Gao Chunhua from the Central and South Office, Wan Xuerong from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and Guo Long from the East China Office. However, over the years, only Wang Shouzhi, Lian Qijian and the only female person in charge, Wan Xuerong, have achieved outstanding results.

Although others performed well, compared with the regions they were responsible for and the growth trend of their business over the years, they no longer had the same aggressiveness as before.

And ultimately failed the assessment, was withdrawn and someone else took charge.

"That's great too. I don't understand these things. Just take care of it." Cheng Xiaolin said.

He told Cao Shujie to go to his uncle Cao Jianlin later.

"Take those two chickens over and let the old man eat them." Cheng Xiaolin instructed her husband.

Cao Shujie nodded.

The chickens are raised by the villagers using vegetables and grains. They are never fed with feed and the chicken tastes delicious.

Cao Shujie bought 6, kept 4 for himself, and prepared to give two to the old man.

He also wanted to take some time to visit his parents-in-law in Chengjiaopo, Dawu County, and bring two dogs to them.

These six chickens are all alive now. Considering that the old man is old and it is inconvenient to kill chickens, Cao Shujie killed two chickens before going out and chopped the chicken meat into small pieces to make it easier for his old man to eat.

When Cao Yirui saw his father going out, he also wanted to go out, after all, he would be tortured by his sister if he stayed at home.

"Run faster." Cao Shujie called to his son.

The father and son walked together to Grandpa Cao Jianlin's side. As soon as they knocked on the door, they heard the grandpa's voice coming from home.

"Grandpa, it's me, Ruirui." Cao Yirui shouted at the top of his voice.

Cao Jianlin opened the door and saw the father and son standing outside, and quickly let them in.

Cao Yiru walked at the end and insisted on helping his grandfather close the door.

There was a sound of dog barking at home. It was a puppy born from the breeding of Chinese native dogs in the town's factory. Although it was small in size, it barked very fiercely.

Cao Shujie was worried that his uncle would feel bored living alone for a long time, so he brought one to him after he got the puppy.

"Ruirui, why do you and dad come here so late?" Grandpa Cao Jianlin asked his grandson.

Cao Yirui smiled and explained: "Grandpa, my mother asked my father to send you two chickens."

"My dad has just killed them and chopped them into small pieces. You can stir-fry or stew them."

Hearing that his little grandson was asking for praise, Cao Jianlin laughed and even found milk, candies and bread for Cao Yiru.

However, Cao Yirui looked at the candy in his great-grandfather's hand. Although he wanted to eat it very much, when he opened his mouth, a gap was exposed. Two teeth had fallen out, and another tooth next to it had begun to turn black. That was because he had eaten the candy secretly. When his mother found out, she gave him a scolding. Now he dares not eat it.

"Then eat some bread, that's okay." Cao Jianlin said.

The little guy looked back at his father, and when he saw his father nod and confirm that there was no problem, he took the bread, curled his lips, tore open the packaging bag with his remaining teeth, stuffed half of the bread into his mouth, and chewed it slowly with great satisfaction.

"Is it delicious?" Cao Jianlin asked him.

The little guy nodded quickly in response, not even bothering to speak, and looked like he was enjoying the food.

When Cao Jianlin saw this little grandson, he thought of his two biological grandsons.

My eldest grandson is attending university in Shanghai and he is expected to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in the second half of this year.

Cao Jianlin originally thought that his eldest grandson would come back after graduating from college, but a few days ago he heard from his eldest son that it is difficult to find a job now, and his eldest grandson Cao Yichuan still wants to continue to study for a master's degree.

On the contrary, the little grandson Cao Yixin went to the military inspection after finishing the college entrance examination three years ago. With someone taking care of him, there was naturally no problem with this. And with the help of his uncle Cao Shujie, Cao Yixin naturally felt like a fish in water in the army.

In addition, Cao Yixin was physically strong and daring. Cao Shujie heard that he had made meritorious service in the army within two years of joining it. Sometimes Cao Shujie thought that his nephew might be born to be a soldier.

After just three years in the army, this kid has been taken seriously and is now rising rapidly.

Cao Jianlin felt both happy and a little disappointed when he mentioned his two grandsons.

The good news is that they have all achieved certain results and are all excellent.

The sad thing is that although they are doing well outside, they can't be by his side and enjoy his happiness.

Even his two sons and daughter-in-law are working hard in Anyi and have no intention of returning in the short term.

Whenever he had any business in his hometown, his nephew would take him there to handle it.

This made Cao Jianlin feel inexplicably sad.

"Shujie, I heard that the village is going to hold an election for the village committee." Cao Jianlin asked.

This is all public knowledge, and a big red poster has been posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of the village committee.

Cao Shujie told his uncle the situation again.

Cao Jianlin kept giving a thumbs up and praising his nephew for his good work.

There is no doubt that Cao Shujie's contribution to Caojiazhuang is unmatched in the entire village over the years.

Cao Shujie is also the person most respected by the people of Caojiazhuang over the years.

Cao Shujie and his son chatted with the old man until after 8 o'clock in the evening. Seeing the old man yawning, Cao Shujie and his son said goodbye and left.

When they returned home, Cheng Xiaolin asked him why he didn't come back earlier.

"Come and chat with our uncle. He must be very lonely living over there alone." Cao Shujie said.

This is the truth.

Cheng Xiaolin whispered, "My eldest brother and my second brother are not coming back."

Cao Shujie waved his hand and didn't mention the matter any more.

There are always things that are not satisfactory in life, and it is impossible to be perfect.

Besides, not everyone is suitable to live in the village, just like Cao Shujie and his buddies. Such good conditions have been created for them, but in the past few years, only Cao Fei and Cao Tiemin are planning to come back, while the others are still hanging around outside. It is obvious that they are not doing as well as the people in the village, but they just don’t want to move.

Cao Shujie was still thinking about calling them back to have a drink together.

Cao Shujie is about to turn 40, and when he is about to celebrate his 40th birthday, half of his life has already passed.

Time flies by so fast.

A few days passed in a flash, and the election of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee was getting closer, but some people already knew that the candidates for the positions of director of public security and director of women's affairs had been decided.

Some people are unwilling to accept the decision and think that young people like them should be chosen to lead Caojiazhuang into a brighter future. However, anyone with common sense knows why this decision was made.

Caojiazhuang is developing very well now and does not need an aggressive person to lead it. On the contrary, it needs someone who is calm enough to lead it forward at this time.

However, after much thought, Cao Shujie could not find a better candidate for the accounting position, so he ultimately left it to others to run for the position.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

……

As July approaches, the kiwifruit in Caojiazhuang is about to mature, and with it comes another wave of peak tourism.

And because of the epidemic in the past two years, everyone has become more open-minded and feels more like going out and relaxing at this time.

Places like Caojiazhuang, which are open to the public free of charge, have beautiful scenery and relatively low overall consumption, have become the first choice for many people.

And the scenery here is really beautiful, and it has won the recognition of many people.

Therefore, at this time of year, Caojiazhuang can still attract many tourists.

Everyone in Caojiazhuang knows that tourism is one of the main sources of income for Caojiazhuang, and it also accounts for the bulk of the income of the ordinary people in Caojiazhuang.

So when it comes to tourism, everyone in the village knows that they must provide good service to make tourists feel at home.

In the past two years, as short videos have become more and more popular and easier to produce, many people have expressed their feelings after traveling to Caojiazhuang on the Internet, and they think this place is worth visiting and recommend it to their friends.

Also because of the arrival of a large number of tourists, the kiwi fruit of Caojiazhuang Agricultural Planting Cooperative was sold out at a faster rate than in previous years despite the huge increase in production.

Moreover, with unified management, scientific planting, and sufficient nutrient solution, the kiwifruit from Caojiazhuang Agricultural Planting Cooperative is indeed famous and sought after.

Despite this, all farmers participating in the agricultural planting cooperative did not take the opportunity to raise prices, but maintained prices slightly higher than the market price. This may seem insignificant, but it has won them a lot of regular customers. (End of this chapter)
