Chapter 53: Having an elder in a family is like having a treasure

Chapter 53: Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure

Jiang Ning is not someone who can sit still in the office.

If I had the time, I would rather walk around the farm.

Sitting in the office dealing with a bunch of official business is really a torture for someone like him, but he has to deal with it because he is the boss. Everything else is easy to deal with, but matters involving money have to be signed by him and no one else can do it for him.

I’ve been out for more than twenty days and I don’t know how much backlog there is.

You can't just sign randomly, you have to look carefully.

After the old comrade went out, my cousin Zhang Yulong was the first to come in.

He took out a thick stack of lists and handed it to him.

Jiang Ning flipped through the pages casually and saw people buying office supplies and oil.

I took a quick look at it and signed it if there was no problem.

When I saw a few gas bills, I suddenly felt something was wrong. I hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now I found that there was something wrong with the separate gas expense, so I asked, "What's the matter with this 500 yuan? Why is it listed separately?"

Zhang Yulong said: "This is the money from Mr. Yang's gas card. Mr. Yang asked to list it separately."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "Why is it listed separately? Can 500 yuan a month for gas?"

Zhang Yulong said: "Mr. Yang asked for a separate list, and he would use it to go to get off work or go to the county to do business. He said that 500 yuan of gas a month for Passat was enough. If it exceeded, it must be private use of the company car, and he would pay for the extra gas himself."

Jiang Ning: "..."

Not so!

Doesn’t the farm have any money if it’s short of a few hundred dollars?

Why is it so noble?

I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so I just gave up thinking about it.

It took me half an hour to finish my business and I left quickly.

He went downstairs and called Old Yang, who was watching a few workers tidying up the flower beds in the yard, and went to the living area.

On the way, he asked, "Is 500 yuan for gas not enough?"

The old comrade knew clearly in his heart: "It's enough. I only use it to go to get off work or go to the county. How much oil can it burn? I don't go to the city many times a month. Even if it's not enough, I can just add two or three hundred yuan. I can fill it up myself."

Jiang Ning said: "Not really!"

Yang Zhen said: "Money is a small matter. We cannot give the people below the company the opportunity to play tricks. Drivers have to drive their cars home at night and on weekends. If the fuel is not fixed, who knows how much fuel will be burned in a month. We cannot open such loopholes."

Jiang Ning was deeply moved: "I have found a treasure."

Old Yang smiled and said, "I have seen countless dirty things in my life. People need to be controlled more strictly. The rules must be set. Without rules, there will be no order. If you don't want people to make mistakes, you have to plug the loopholes first. Those who have fallen may not want to be involved in the scandal at the beginning, but when the opportunity comes, how many people can resist the temptation?"

Jiang Ning agreed with this, although he actually had little experience in this area.

It really saves me a lot of trouble to have such an experienced old guy to worry about it.

The living area is not far away and not far from the office building.

It’s only a five-minute walk away and is also surrounded by woods.

Two three-story buildings were built, with twenty rooms on each floor, for a total of 120 dormitories. The area is a bit small, only twenty square meters, with two single beds, but all have kitchens and bathrooms, so it is not too crowded for two people to live in. If a couple works together, one room is just right.

Everything is new and looks good.

Jiang Ning randomly went into a few rooms and took a look. He felt they were all pretty good.

The farm now has more than 200 employees, and the dormitories are not enough.

Those who work in the office building do not live in the dormitory, and some workers who have not been allocated do not live there for the time being.

The third building has been completed and is still drying.

The building was also built by uncle Zhang Yuedong, and the decoration and furniture were also purchased by Zhang Yuedong. It cost several million yuan, which saved Jiang Ning a lot of money. He thought it would cost tens of millions to build three dormitory buildings, but he didn't expect the cost to be very low.

So low that he couldn't believe it.

After taking a look around, Jiang Ning also went to take a look at Jiang's father's dormitory.

With his family away, Kang Yoo Shin was too lazy to go home.

The farm is so cool, I still have to turn on the air conditioner when I get home, what a waste of electricity!
He simply asked for a dormitory and lived on the farm to tend to his vegetable garden.

Dad Jiang was not in the dormitory and the door was locked.

Jiang Ning didn't go in and could only take a few glances through the window.

After walking around, I went to see the cafeteria again.

The cafeteria is right next to the dormitory, a square two-story building.

It covers an area of ​​more than 600 square meters, and only one floor is used.

The second floor is empty.

There were only three people in total, a cook and two helpers.

I am not very familiar with the cook Jiang Ning, but I know both of the two workers.

One is Li Jianjun’s mother and the other is his aunt.

Jiang Ning has to call both sisters-in-law aunt.

He used to work on the farm and on his uncle's construction site.

Unexpectedly, I became a farm worker.

Many of the workers on the farm are relatives.

Jiang Ning was somewhat worried, so he came out and asked Lao Yang, "Are my relatives easy to manage?"

Yang Zhen was full of confidence: "Don't worry, it's not a problem. Your relatives are all honest and decent. Although some of them are a little clever, their cleverness is not presentable. I will make sure they are in good hands."

Jiang Ning felt relieved, even though the old man liked to brag a little.

But the wrist does exist.

After a lifetime of ups and downs, how could he reach a leadership position without some skills?

Originally, the old man was asked to be in charge of administration.

But sometimes I don’t want to worry about it, so I just leave some troubles to the old man.

The old man is a caring person who works hard and keeps everything in order.

Especially those relatives, although most of them are honest in their duties, even the honest ones will have some small thoughts.

If it were someone else, it would be hard to manage.

The old man was quite capable. He could curse people without using any dirty words and he did it with a smile. He could make people feel so ashamed that they doubted their lives, but they still couldn't get angry. Jiang Ning had to admit that he was not that capable. He always cursed people by pointing at their noses.

If you get really angry, you'll slap someone in the face.

Jiang Ning was still thinking about whether to give the old man a big red envelope at the end of the year.

After a walk around, I drove with the old man to various forest areas.

It's July now, and the poplar trees are already thicker than a bowl and more than ten meters tall.

It looks like it will be sold soon.

Two harvesters are working at full capacity to harvest hay.

There was a long line of trailers coming to buy hay at the east gate.

Business is booming and it looks festive.

There are just a lot of wild rabbits, and they appear in groups wherever the harvester passes.

People from the Forestry Bureau investigated for a week and estimated a number.

The number of wild rabbits on the farm is around 100,000.

Jiang Ning felt that there shouldn’t be that many. After all, this number was a bit too scary.

One hundred thousand wild rabbits, I’m afraid there aren’t that many wild rabbits in the whole of Bei’an.

After a walk, I went to take a look at the orchard.

Several workers were picking fruits, sorting them simply and packing them into boxes on the spot.

Jiang Ning asked, "Have you given all these fruits to your employer?"

Old Yang immediately shook his head: "How can we give them all away? The fruits produced in our farm are unique in Bei'an. We can just give one or two boxes for people to try. With such a large orchard, we can't give all the fruits away for free. These are sold to the employees of the company."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "How much can this be sold for?"

The old man calculated for him: "The yield is not high now. One acre of land can only produce a thousand kilograms at most, and three or four hundred at least. It is cheaper than the market price, and can be sold for hundreds of thousands, which is enough to provide some benefits to the workers."

Jiang Ning was speechless. He had originally set up this orchard to grow some fruits for his own consumption.

I didn't expect that the old man was so good at making money and actually used it to generate income.

As the old saying goes, an old person in the family is like a treasure.

That's right.

However, an orchard of two hundred acres is indeed not small. It would be enough to send some to the unit for a taste during the holidays. Giving too much would inevitably arouse suspicion. Even if he was willing to give it away, the unit would probably not dare to eat it for free all the time.

After visiting the orchard, I went to see the ranch.

The pasture was a bit empty, with only dozens of cows and a hundred sheep raised on the thousand acres of grassland.

The pasture grass had been cut and was barely above the knee.

Jiang Ning didn't know about this, so he asked, "When was the grass on the pasture mowed?"

Yang Zhen said: "At the end of June, we harvested some grass. The sheep herder came to me and said that the grass was so tall that the cows could hardly be seen. We couldn't get the sheep back after we let them out. We could only wait for them to return to the sheepfold. So I asked the harvester to cut the grass again."

Jiang Ning felt relieved, it made sense.

Finally, I went to take a look at Jiang Dad’s vegetable garden.

There are a lot of people in the vegetable garden, harvesting peppers.

Jiang Youxin was very busy and had no time to pay attention to him. After a few words, he went back to work.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to go to the construction site and chat with his uncle Zhang Yuedong for a while.

It was almost eleven o'clock when the driver came back.

The two newly purchased cars were registered and driven back to the farm.

Jiang Ning went to check and saw the car was parked downstairs.

The G-Class is white and was bought for Feng Yu.

The GLS63 is black, and the license plate number is randomly drawn with letters in the middle.

It doesn't look easy to remember.

Jiang Ning didn't care about this and took away the two GLS63 car keys.

I will drive this car from now on, it has strong power and is fun to drive.

Although the 570 is good, its acceleration is not exciting enough.

Just like the old man, never in a hurry.

It is suitable for the elderly but not for young people like him. The driving experience of a turbo Mercedes is much better. When you step on the accelerator, it feels like driving a jet plane. Jiang Ning likes the feeling of being pushed at a high speed.

He handed the two keys of the G-Class to his cousin Zhang Yulong and said, "This is the car I bought for your sister-in-law. Put it here first and don't tell your sister-in-law. When she gets her driver's license, give her a surprise. Don't let anyone else drive it."

Zhang Yulong said energetically: "Brother, I know."

Jiang Ning gave another 570 key: "This key is in the office."

Zhang Yulong hurriedly took it and prepared to lock it in the drawer.

I didn’t go home at noon, but had lunch with my employees in the cafeteria.

Jiang Youxin also came and ate in the cafeteria.

The father and son and Lao Yang occupied a table and chatted while eating.

I originally thought that the big pot meal would not taste good, but I didn’t expect it to be quite good.

Although the noodles are pressed by a machine, they taste good. Add half a bowl of臊子汤 and a few cold dishes. Although it is a bit monotonous, the meal is not bad. It’s just that you might get sick of it if you eat too much, but there is no good way to deal with it for now.

While eating, Father Jiang asked, "I saw another black car parked in front of the cafeteria. Whose car is it?"

Jiang Ning said: "I bought it."

Father Jiang was surprised: "Don't you already have a car? Why are you buying one?"
