Chapter 15 Can a prodigal succeed?
Li Long of the Li family is a prodigal son, which is recognized in the production team.
I can’t do my job well at home, and I can’t do my job well when working in the team. But I am very enthusiastic about other people’s affairs. His brother Li Jianguo couldn't greet him, but those little friends could run very fast if they just told Wu Shufen.
It’s no wonder that the Lu family’s sister-in-law came to tell Liang Yuemei this matter.
Actually, she didn’t want to watch the fun.
In the past, when Liang Yuemei heard this, she would usually blame her brother-in-law, but this time Liang Yuemei excused herself for Li Long:
"Xiaolong really plans to get some wood back this time. He has this intention, and we must be too. You have to support me, right?”
Sister-in-law Lu was a little surprised, why did Liang Yuemei change her gender?
"Your brother-in-law was fired from the factory, and you were blinded by the money you spent. I think you are still like a normal person." Sister-in-law of the Lu family shook her head, "If it were me, I would have scolded you Go!”
Liang Yuemei said with a smile while picking up the soles of her shoes:
"Who hasn't made a mistake yet? If you can correct it, just make progress. I feel that Xiaolong has changed a lot this time, so it is a good thing to let him go. The old man often says that you will learn from every experience."
< br>She said to herself, the croak chickens Li Long caught the day before yesterday and the fish he caught yesterday would be worth a lot if they were sold.
Besides, I went to borrow a carriage yesterday. It was done beautifully, unlike the prodigal son before. Such a big change, it's not too late for me to be happy, why should I say it?
"Eldest brother-in-law, eldest sister, I'm here!" A greeting came from outside. When Liang Yuemei heard it, she stood up excitedly and responded:
"Wen Yu, hurry up Come in!" He said and went to open the door.
The person coming was Liang Yuemei’s younger brother Liang Wenyu.
He walked in with a bag of things in his hand, put the things on the wall, took off his cotton hat, smiled at the Lu family's sister-in-law, and then asked Liang Yuemei:
"I Where is the eldest brother-in-law? I heard that Li Long is back? ?”
Liang Yuemei didn’t expect that the matter would spread so quickly. With outsiders around, she couldn’t say much, so she nodded and said:
“Well, Brother-in-law is busy in the east room. Why are you here?”
"Mom and dad asked me to come over to see you and bring some things over." Liang Wenyu said, "By the way, where are Juan and Qiangqiang?"
"They are also in the east room, go and have a look." Liang Yuemei said.
Sister-in-law of the Lu family actually wanted to see the excitement. Although Liang Wenyu is not very old, he is relatively strong as the eldest son of Liang. He had always looked down on Li Long, and Sister Lu, a neighbor, had also heard about this.
But now that the Li family had visitors, she didn't want to stay too long, so she got up and greeted Liang Yuemei and went home.
After the people left, Liang Wenyu said:
"Dad asked me to bring some white flour and twenty yuan. When Li Long comes back, your charcoal will definitely not be enough for burning. What dad means is to buy some for the team first and then we can get over it..."
< br>Liang Yuemei could hear the resentment in her brother’s words, she smiled and said:
“No need. . Li Long went to the mountains to pull wood. He will be back today. We will have enough firewood to burn the whole winter. Come on, go check out the east room. Your brother-in-law is preparing fish. You are here. I’ll bring some back later.”
“Fish? Where did the fish come from?” Liang Wenyu’s eyes lit up when he heard there were fish. His production team is in the southwest, and the water for irrigating the fields there comes from machine-driven wells drilled by the county's well-drilling company in the past.
The production team's land is small, there is no sea or river, and there is no fish. Li Jianguo's production team is in a unique position. Fish can be found almost wherever there is water, so Li Jianguo often sends fish to his father-in-law's house, and Liang Wenyu eats the most.
"Li Long took your brother-in-law to Xiaohaizi to smash holes in the ice and caught a lot of them."
"The blame is on the one who suffered! It's such a cold day. It's a shame that Li Long can think of it." Liang Wenyu followed as he followed. As her sister went to the east room, she said, "He just knows how to play." Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei both knew that Liang Wenyu had objections to Li Long. After all, Li Long was really incompetent before. Liang Wenyu and Li Long are similar in age and can basically play the leading role in the family. And Li Long is still like a child who hasn't grown up yet, he is idle, unable to do anything, and he is the first to eat.
Entering the east room, Liang Wenyu was surprised when he saw so many fish in the washing tub:
“Brother-in-law, you fish are too groomed. That’s a lot!”
"Wenyu is here!" Li Jianguo was cutting open the fish, and Li Juan and Li Qiang were helping. When they saw Liang Wenyu behind Liang Yuemei, they both said hello.
“This fish was obtained by the hole in the ice that Xiaolong smashed. I didn’t expect that in winter, I could get so many fish by smashing two holes in the ice, and they were so big! When Xiaolong left, he said that he would give them to him when he came back. You send some over, and there are two croaking chickens.”
“You said this was done by Li Long? There are croaking chickens?” Liang Wenyu couldn’t believe her ears.
Is it that Li Long who can’t do anything?
"Yes." Li Jianguo looked at Liang Wenyu's expression and felt a little want to laugh, but also a little proud, "Although he was fired this time, he has changed a lot."
"Uncle, my uncle really caught the croak chicken. It's so delicious!" Li Qiang wiped his nose and said loudly.
He is different from Li Juan. Li Juan still remembers that she had to help with work at home, but Li Long didn't. Li Qiang remembered that his uncle roasted old birds, caught croaking chickens, fishes, and the fun sticky rice paper for him.
"Okay." Liang Wenyu, full of questions, squatted down and cleaned up with Li Jianguo.
Working together as a family makes the work much faster, and the fish is ready before lunch time.
"Wenyu, take ten of them back and make fish soup for my parents in the winter." Li Jianguo said, "We will make them again before the end of the year and send them to you during the Chinese New Year."
"Ten items - this one is not small. It will be difficult for me to hold it." Liang Wenyu said so, but did not refuse. There were thirty or forty of these fish weighing more than one kilogram, and there were even more palm-sized crucian carps, so he was not polite.
Li Jianguo put the fish in the snow to freeze, then the family washed their hands and went to the west room. Liang Wenyu asked:
"Brother-in-law, Li Long went to the mountains to pull wood? Is that okay? In the mountains There are few people there and there are no good roads, so it can’t be done, right?”
“He said that one of his coworkers was from Qingshuihe Commune. We live on the edge of the mountain." Li Jianguo sat on the kang and rolled a Mohe cigarette. He took a long puff and said after feeling relieved:
"Xiaolong has changed a lot this time. He borrowed the carriage himself and had a good plan, so let him do it in the winter anyway.”
"Okay, it's a pity that the job is gone." Liang Wenyu sighed. In fact, he also wanted to go to work in Wucheng, but as the eldest son of the family, he naturally had to stay with his parents. I just feel that the job is a pity.
"It's not a pity." Li Jianguo smiled, "A job opportunity can be exchanged for Xiaolong to learn a lesson."
"He lost his job, and his partner Can it be done?" Liang Wenyu asked again.
"It's blown." Li Jianguo shook his head, "It spread among the team that he was fired, and the girl came over and told Xiaolong that it couldn't happen. If it doesn't happen, it won't happen. We'll talk about it later. There's no rush. ”
Li Jianguo is quite confident in his younger brother.
Of course, the people on the team didn't think so. In just one day, word had spread in the team that the prodigal son of the Li family borrowed the team's carriage and went to the mountains to pull wood with his work cents.
Many people are waiting to see Li Long’s jokes.
