Chapter 49: People are different, you have to accept it!
When Li Long led the carriage back to the production team, the people outside looked at him in surprise.
A group of children were beating Lao Niu on the road that was as smooth as ice. When they saw Li Long coming, they immediately gathered around.
Li Long looked at it and asked one of the familiar children:
"Gawa, where is Qiangqiang?"
"Some people said that you were arrested. Qiangqiang took the old cow and went back crying. Have you been arrested?"
Li Long immediately understood why those people looked at him strangely, and he smiled He shook his head and said:
"No, I went to the mountains." Li Long explained.
“You’re talking nonsense! You didn’t even pull the wood back!” A child thought Li Long had lied.
“But I brought back the wild boars.” Li Long smiled and uncovered the grass and brought in two wild boars. This matter cannot be hidden no matter what, so he simply used the children’s mouth to destroy the rumors and gossip. alright.
Seeing that big wild boar, even if only one head was exposed, the two dagger-like fangs frightened several children!
After confirming that the wild boar was dead, the bold child dared to step forward, carefully touched the tooth, then quickly backed away, and said:
“It’s a really big tooth. Ah!”
Li Long smiled and led the carriage back.
The kid who had something good had already rushed to Li's house to report the news. The other children stopped beating the old cow and followed the carriage to Li's house.
After receiving the letter, the entire Li family ran out of the courtyard. When they saw Li Long, Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei felt relieved.
Li Qiang's face was still stained with tears. When he saw Li Long, he burst into tears again. He rushed over and shouted:
"Uncle! Uncle! They said you let people Captured, will not come back..."
"They are talking nonsense, I went into the mountains, you know." Li Long smiled and touched Li Qiang's head.
Although Li Juan did not cry, it could be seen that she was suppressing her joy and just watching with a smile on her face.
"Why did it take so long to come back?" Li Jianguo complained, "The whole family is scared."
In fact, nothing happened, but Gu Ermao and Tao Dayong were arrested one after another, and rumors spread again. Li Jianguo It would be a lie to say you are not worried.
"Just come back. Just come back. Come into the yard first!" Liang Yuemei said with a smile, "Xiaolong hasn't eaten yet? Go inside and change clothes, and ask your brother to return the carriage. I'll heat the meal for you!"
No matter how your family is doing outside, you will have a bowl of hot rice to eat when you come home, and you can do other things after you are full.
This is the simplest emotion of my family.
Li Long remembered what the Arab scholar he saw in his previous life said, "Have you eaten?", the first sentence of Chinese people's greetings. It is the simplest and cannot be felt at all, but it contains the simplest emotions.
Now I really feel it.
Others care about how much money you earn, whether you live a glamorous life or not, and whether you have a car or a house, but your family welcomes you home with a hot meal first.
Driving the carriage back to the yard, the two brothers took down the wood and grass. Li Jianguo looked at the two wild boars in surprise:
“You shot these all?”
"No, I shot the small one, and my friends shot the big one. They didn't want to eat it, so I took them all back."
"This one is big!" Although Li Jianguo had seen wild boars before, This is the first time for such a big one, "It must be more than 256 kilograms!"
"But the meat is not as delicious as domestic pigs. "Li Long said, "The blood is not drained."
"That's meat too!" Li Jianguo emphasized, "It's good to have meat! Come on, take off the pig and change your clothes first. , I returned the carriage and boiled water to remove the hair!”
I have enough meat for a year, are you worried about hard work? joke!
Li Jianguo made Li Long truly feel the appeal of the founders of the old production team.
He carried the jade into the house. The stove in the east room was still hot. When he put away the stones, changed his clothes, and prepared to eat, the yard was already bustling with activity.
The eldest brother of the Lu family, Uncle Chen from the backyard, Qin Laosan, the pig butcher in the village, and even Lao Luo from the horse number came over.
"Xiaolong is pretty good." Lao Luo, who was carrying the pot, entered the east room, looked at Li Long and said with a smile:
"Everyone said that you and Tao Dayong were arrested together. I didn't expect that not only did you not arrest you, but you also brought back two wild boars. Well done, you are a man!"
"Tao Dayong was arrested? What about Da Qiang? What?" Li Long, who had changed his clothes, was also shocked after hearing this. Tao Dayong must have been caught selling fish, so was Daqiang also caught?
"Da Qiang ran away. He said that you had warned him before." Lao Luo smiled, "It seems that not everyone can do this business."
Help Lao Luo Luo sat the pot on the stove. Over there, Li Jianguo had already poured half a bucket of water in. The next step was to bring snow from a large basket outside and add it to the pot.
The stove door opened, the wind blew in, the fire suddenly became warm, the snow melted quickly, and the water in the pot heated up.
The courtyard is even more lively. Everyone is commenting on this wild boar. Although there is no need to kill them, it is still troublesome to deal with.
While Li Long was eating in the West Room at this time, he heard Liang Yuemei talk about the arrests of Gu Ermao and Tao Dayong, including the fact that Li Jianguo lent Tao Daqiang 20 yuan.
“Give him the money.” Li Long took out twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liang Yuemei:
“The last few times Da Qiang and I went out together, we sold He has a share of the things. His money is stored with me, so I will take it back this time." Liang Yuemei took the money and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
Li Long said while eating:
"If Daqiang comes again later, then he will just work."
Tao Daqiang did his work without saying anything and was obedient - he was not caught this time This is an example. He had good reasons why he didn't ask his brother to do it with him.
Li Long could tell that his sister-in-law had some ideas. Of course, he was not questioning Li Long, but just confused.
Seeing that everyone was outside, Li Long whispered:
"Sister-in-law, I have news. When spring comes, the land will be divided. Our family will be able to get a lot of land. My brother will have to do the work on the land. I will do some side work. Farming will still be done. It’s a big deal, I don’t want work points, but my brother can’t afford them.”
Liang Yuemei was shocked by the word “divided land.” She looked outside and asked:
“I really want it. Points?”
"It needs to be divided. Many provinces have been divided long ago, and we are too late." Li Long said, "But the first time we divide not much, but it is our own land.
I'm still thinking about pulling some dung back from the mountains - by the way, the team's things may also need to be divided. Now I have to make more money, and then I will draw a horse or something, so I have to spend money to buy it, right?"
Li Long clearly remembered that the last time the team divided "village property", each household drew lots, from the 1st to the 47th - there were 47 households in the team.
Li Jianguo arrested No. 2. Number one was the team's Dongfanghong tractor, which cost more than a thousand yuan to buy back. Number two was the horse number's big red horse, which cost more than a hundred yuan. Li Jianguo gave up the number directly.
But farming still requires transportation. Li Jianguo later spent 15 yuan to buy a small donkey. He also found wood and paid someone to build a frame for a cart. A year later, he reluctantly got a donkey. car.
If you prepare the money now and buy it back directly when the horse is drawn, wouldn’t it be available for use?
The area around Harimuna’s winter nest is full of cow and sheep dung!
Now Li Long goes out to sell things without Li Jianguo, because Li Jianguo's prestige is there. When the two of them have a dispute, who should listen to it? And if something really happened to the two men in the family, they couldn't both be arrested, right? Keep one safe.
When Li Long appeared in the yard after eating, the big men in the yard looked at him differently.
Look, they are all young people of about the same age. They all want to go out and do business. Some people are caught when they go out, and some people not only make money, but also bring back two wild boars!
How can these two pigs weigh 300 kilograms? No matter how cheap wild boar is, one kilogram is half that of domestic pig, which is only eight cents, and these three hundred kilograms are more than two hundred!
Human beings are just different!
