Chapter 20 Still want to borrow a carriage?
"You went out for a day and only brought back a few pieces of wood and a kilogram of sesame cakes? Then the boy from the Li family picked up a sheep, why didn't you get a share?"
Originally Tao Daqiang, who happily entered the house, unexpectedly received a scolding from Tao Jianshe when he handed the sesame cake to his father.
He was stunned by his father's scolding. It took him a long time to react and defended:
"Brother Long got that sheep, so of course it belongs to someone else. I'm going to help, Brother Long. You even bought me a pair of gloves!" He showed his new rabbit leather gloves to his father.
"I bribed you with just a pair of gloves!" Tao Jianshe was very happy at first, but then someone told him that Li Long had brought back a sheep, so he thought that his son would follow him and get some meat, right?
"Then I'm still eating at someone else's house. I don't even have food when I get home! I can't even eat the fish I brought back. Even if I bring back the meat, what's the use?" Before that, Tao Daqiang was I don’t dare to talk back, but when I came back today, there was no food and no fish. He couldn't help shouting at Tao Jianshe:
"At least they gave me something back!"
The son actually yelled at him. Tao Jianshe was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were panicked. , then picked up the cigarette pot and smashed it on Tao Daqiang’s head:
“You’ve been out for two days, haven’t you? You dare to talk back to me, right? If you have the ability, go with someone else! If you have the ability, don’t let your surname be Tao! Since your surname is Tao, since you are in this house, Then I have the final say! Want to eat it yourself? ”
Tao Daqiang was panting like an ox in frustration, and Tao Jianshe was so angry that he coughed repeatedly. At this time, there was a knock on the door.
“Who?” Tao Jianshe asked angrily.
"Uncle Jianshe, it's me, Li Long." Li Long's voice came from outside.
Tao Jianshe was suddenly a little panicked. He was saying bad things about others just now, but now they are outside.
He was embarrassed to speak, so he winked at Tao Daqiang.
Tao Daqiang didn't see his father's eyes, but he had already walked over and opened the door.
"Uncle Jianshe, Daqiang. We have already untied the frozen sheep, and this leg of lamb deserves Daqiang." Li Long handed a leg of lamb to Daqiang, and then said to Tao Jianshe said:
“Uncle Jianshe, don’t worry, this mutton is good meat and can be eaten. Our family is already cooking haggis soup.”
"Xiaolong, please bring the leg of lamb over here. Take a look..." Tao Jianshe was so embarrassed that he hurriedly sat up and said, "Just let Daqiang take it... Come in and sit down!" "
"I don't want to sit anymore. I have to go to the captain's house and use the carriage tomorrow. I have to tell him."
"Are you going tomorrow?" Tao Jianshe heard this and immediately asked, "Will you bring Daqiang with you?"
Li Long looked at Tao Daqiang and asked:
"What about Daqiang?" You..."
"I will go to your house tomorrow morning." Tao Daqiang said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow."
Li Long left, pulled out a leg of lamb from the snow outside, and carried it to Xu Chengjun's house.
"You said you still want to borrow the carriage?" Looking at the leg of lamb that Li Long brought, Xu Chengjun hesitated, "The labor cents..."
"I'll pay for it." Li The dragon pointed to the leg of lamb and said, "This leg of lamb is clean. The sheep that froze to death in the mountains, the shepherds I specifically asked about it. I’m cooking haggis soup. It’s edible.”
"I will do whatever the captain says." Li Long smiled and took out the money.
In the Li family, Li Juan and Li Qiang were holding sesame cakes and eating while looking at the haggis soup in the pot.
"You said Xiaolong has changed so much." Liang Yuemei sighed, "I know that I will bring a leg of lamb to the captain's family for borrowing the carriage tomorrow, but I don't know if the captain's family dares to eat it."
“There’s nothing you can’t eat.” Li Jianguo was still decomposing the mutton there. The sheepskin has been hung outside to freeze, and the offal is the first to be processed. The room is filled with a faint fishy smell and the aroma of cooking haggis.
"According to what Xiaolong said, we might be able to get the sheep back tomorrow, and then our family will be able to have a good time this winter. It's just that the sheep is not too fat..." "As long as it has meat to eat. I originally thought "My family is having a hard time this winter." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "There are fish, sheep, and croaking chickens. Even the gods won't change these days!"
"It's true! We can have a good New Year this winter!" Liang Yuemei said with a smile, "There is no shortage of firewood, Xiaolong is really capable!"
"Hey, I didn't expect Xiaolong to change so much. "
"My uncle also said that he would catch fish and sell them in the county." Li Qiang suddenly interrupted, "He said that one fish can be sold for more than one piece!"
Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei. They looked at each other and said nothing.
Does Li Long seem like a person who can sell goods?
Thinking about it, it was definitely not possible before.
It’s hard to say what happened in these two days!
Not long after, Li Long pushed the door in from the outside.
"Is everything done?" Li Jianguo stopped cutting meat and looked up and asked.
“It’s done.” Li Long said, “I have to catch the train tomorrow morning.”
As he said that, he took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liang Yuemei:
"Sister-in-law, here are the ten yuan earned today, take it."
"I can't take this money. "Take it." Liang Yuemei waved her hands hurriedly, "You already gave me ten yuan, and so did your family. If you don’t need the money, take it.”
“Sister-in-law, take it first and listen to me.” Li Long pushed the money over, “I still have something to do with my brother.”
< br>Liang Yuemei glanced at Li Jianguo, who nodded and said:
"You put it away first. Xiaolong, what do you want to say?"
"I went to the herdsman's house today. He had a gun but no bullets. He said there were wolves. I was wondering, brother, are you still here? There are half a dozen bullets, can you give me some?”
“There are dozens of rounds, take them all.” Li Jianguo stood up, took a bunch of keys from his waist, and found one. Opening the chest of drawers in the corner of the bedroom, he took out a paper package and handed it to Li Long.
This chest of drawers was made of wood that Li Jianguo bought when he got married. The paint has begun to peel off now, but it is still in good condition. All the valuable things from the Li family are inside.
"I have to thank you for giving me this frozen sheep." Liang Yuemei already knew that this frozen sheep belonged to the Harimu family and said, "When you go again, buy some tea for me. ”
A sheep costs dozens of yuan, and a bag of tea costs only one or two yuan. You cannot take advantage of others. This is Liang Yuemei's simple idea.
"I understand." Li Long nodded and said, "There are a lot of valuable things in the mountains. If we get more things in the future, our family can become rich."
"Dad, wait for food. When it comes to the leg of lamb, give me and my brother one piece each," Li Juan said immediately as she watched Li Jianguo continue to cut the meat.
Li Long thought about the stone that Nathan and the others played with at Harimu's house, and his heart moved.
There are dozens of stone slabs on the wooden kang. Is it okay to have a few?
There are really too few toys for female dolls these days. If you only have a few toys to hold on to and play with, they are like emperors among children, as powerful as two iron cows in the hands of a boy.
This evening, many people in the team were discussing the affairs of the Li family.
Many people even lose sleep because of it.
