Chapter 33: His Body Was Getting Better and Better After returning home, Cao Shujie dropped off his wife and child. Seeing that it was still early, he went to the new house at the foot of the mountain and told Cao Zhenggang the dimensions of the protective fence he bought. This thing required digging new holes and pouring cement to make the bases. Once the cement solidified, expansion bolts could be used to fix the posts, reinforcing the wire mesh this way. Cao Zhenggang understood right away and was…- 235.4 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 34: How to Talk Big “Everyone in Cao Family Village, listen up! Cao Shujie is hiring. The work is mainly leveling land, weeding, and planting seedlings up on the mountain.

After repeating the announcement, he set down the black microphone and turned to Cao Shujie sitting next to him. “Shujie, you're already hiring people to work?” He added, “Isn’t it…

- Chapter 31: Hello, Kitty “Cao Zhen?” Cao Shujie mulled over the suggestion from Cao Tieming. His childhood friend Cao Zhen was helping out at a company run by his uncle, working as a logistics supervisor. “Could he have connections in this area?” Cao Shujie thought it over and decided to give Cao Zhen a call. “What do you need barbed wire for?” Cao Zhen sounded puzzled. After Cao Shujie explained, Cao Zhen let out several exclamations of “Whoa!” and said, “Shujie, I almost forgot—you…

- Chapter 28: Mengmeng Is a Little Spirit Belonging to the Mountains “Mommy, this isn't fun.” Mengmeng pouted her lower lip over her upper one, her little face full of grievance. Just as Cheng Xiaolin was about to coax her, Mengmeng said, “I'm not staying. I want to go home.” Then she grabbed Cheng Xiaolin’s hand and started walking out, insisting on going home. Cheng Xiaolin tried to persuade her, but Mengmeng didn’t say another word, turned and walked out of the classroom on her own,…

- Chapter 29: Shrewd Tactics "Honey, keep an eye on things at home. I'm going to the town's Rural Commercial Bank to see Manager Ma," Cao Shujie said to his wife, Cheng Xiaolin. "Drive carefully," Cheng Xiaolin reminded him. All the application materials for the "Interest-Free Loan for Promoting Agricultural Development" had been prepared. Cao Shujie took the documents and drove straight to see the loan officer, Ma Changrong. Ma Changrong was a middle-aged man in his 40s. Possibly due to work stress, the…

- Chapter 30: I'm Not in It for the Money, Just Looking for Something to Do “All fenced in?” Cao Zhenggang asked cautiously. Cao Shujie nodded. “All fenced in, or we really won’t be able to manage it.” That made sense—the whole area had already been contracted by Cao Shujie. During the contract period, it was basically his private land. “Alright, I’ll take the job,” Cao Zhenggang agreed. Work is work, as long as he gets paid. The other eight people at the table were also quite happy.…

- Chapter 25: Daha, Bite Her After coming out of the Village Committee Courtyard, Wang Yuelan stopped her son: "Shujie, why do you need to invest so much money?" "Mom, it's not money for one year, it's the total contracting fee for 30 years, and there are 78 mu of mountain fields, so it's not a lot," Cao Shujie explained to his mother. Wang Yuelan was not an ignorant woman, but she still felt it was too much. "This isn't just the contracting fee, there are many other local expenses. Have you really…

- Chapter 26: Will Mengmeng Behave at School? He couldn’t stop busying himself and didn’t finish until nearly six in the evening before returning home. When Mengmeng heard the car, she ran out. Seeing Cao Shujie step out, she threw her arms wide and ran to him. “Daddy, hug me!” “Oh, Mengmeng, did you miss Daddy?” Cao Shujie hurriedly closed the car door and held her in his arms. He had been exhausted, but holding his daughter suddenly made him feel energized. Mengmeng looped one arm around her…
