Chapter 54 Can’t Break a Promise
When Li Long and the others returned home carrying the rabbit, Liang Yuemei had already prepared all the meals and put them on the table, waiting for them to come back.
Li Jianguo was also awake and was waiting for them in the yard after washing up.
"Brother, are you still dizzy?" Li Long asked with a smile while holding the bag.
Li Jianguo was so happy yesterday that he drank a bottle and a half of half a kilogram of Gucheng Daqu by himself. He was so happy when he drank it. After drinking it, he fainted after sending it away. He slept from the afternoon until this morning.
"I'm not dizzy anymore," Li Jianguo blushed a little. He changed the subject: "How many rabbits did you catch?"
"Five!" Li Qiang shouted loudly, "Dad, five rabbits There were two alive, and one of them tried to kick my uncle, causing him to fall to the ground and die! "
"Okay, okay, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Li Jianguo now felt that it was a wise decision to send his brother to work in Wucheng. Although he was fired after going there, his brother came back as if he had been reborn. Same, he won't say anything, his personality has changed and he is much more mature.
After breakfast, Li Jianguo and Li Long handled rabbits together. While skinning them, he asked Li Long:
"Xiaolong, how many days will it take to calm down? Tao Dayong and Gu Ermao were both arrested. Although we have been released, we are still embarrassed and fined, so we can’t go in.”
"Brother, don't worry. I won't go to the black market to sell things. There are too few people buying there." Li Long told him his plan, "I plan to go to Wucheng first. I brought back two pieces of jade from this trip. I asked in the county and found someone in Wucheng who might be able to sell them for a few hundred yuan.
When I get back, I plan to catch some fish and sell them in Shicheng. There are many people buying fish in the factory’s courtyard. , Chinese New Year is coming soon, fish are easy to sell, make a lot of money Money, wait until spring..."
He lowered his voice and said:
"Brother, I heard that the land will be divided in the spring, and then the things in the team will also be divided. We have to Make preparations early. We can’t get a tractor. It will be convenient to transport things at least!” Land?”
"Really. I heard about it in Wucheng. Many provinces in the mainland have been divided. We will also be divided this time. But for the first time, one person may be divided into two acres of land..."
"Two acres is enough!" Li Jianguo is an expert in farming. "If you plant well, you can make a few crops." A hundred pounds of wheat and corn are even more. If you plant them, they can cost thousands! Even if you exclude the public grain, the remaining wheat is enough to grind flour for the family..."
When the baby is growing, Being able to eat fine food every day, what parent hasn’t looked forward to this these days?
Is it really going to come true?
"So, it's not enough to just borrow someone else's car, you have to have your own." Li Long took the opportunity to say, "Time waits for no one, I have to save more money now." …”
"You can't be alone." Li Jianguo said, "I'll go with you, and you can take care of me."
"Brother, you can't go. If something happens, you have to leave one at home." Li Jianguo Long waved his hands hurriedly, "I try to be careful. If something happens, I have to wait for you to get me out."
"Fuck you, what are you talking about." Li Jianguo patted Li Long, "Then be careful...I'll go fishing with you."
"Okay, let's go break holes in the ice later. We'll catch some today, and I'll catch some first tomorrow." Go to Wucheng, and after I come back and catch some more fish, I will go to the mountains later..."
Li Long found that his schedule was full.
But this is fine, you can earn money if you do something, which is better than most of the young people in the team staying at home and being very bored.
The two of them finished peeling off the rabbit skin in a short time - the rabbit skin is very easy to peel, just cut the neck and tear it hard with your hands, and you can tear off the whole skin directly.
The leather was stretched out by Li Jianguo and nailed in a vacant house. If it could be sold, it would be sold. If it couldn't be sold, it would be made into leather gloves.
While the internal organs were being processed, someone came over from the yard. The person who opened the door and walked in was Bai Fangcheng from the team. He was forty years old. He was an outsider who had only come here in the past two years. When he saw Li Jianguo, he said with a smile: < br>
"Qiangqiang's father, I heard that you can exchange bullets for meat..." "Yes, five bullets are equivalent to one kilogram of meat." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "But this wild boar meat is different from domestic pork... …”
"Then I know, I have hunted and eaten in the mountains before." Bai Fafa smiled, "I'll change it to five kilograms."
A generous move, Li Long stood up and took it Bullet went over to cut the meat, and while holding the knife, he asked:
"Brother Bai, where do you want the meat?"
The steelyard was borrowed from the team and has not been returned yet. It happens to be used now.
"Pork ribs, can you cut more?"
"No problem." Li Long gave him six kilograms - this is something he can eat. But these days, people don’t like bones with bones very much, so it’s okay to cut more, then thread them with thin wire and pass them over.
Bai Fafa looked at the rabbit and knew that Li Long was playing the trick. He smiled and praised Li Long for his ability, picked up the meat and chatted for a few more words before leaving.
In the morning, another seven or eight people came one after another to buy meat in exchange for meat, all of which were two or three kilograms. Some were trying it, and some did not raise pigs at home and planned to get some meat for the New Year.
Some took money, that is, one yuan per kilogram, and some took bullets in exchange. In the end, Li Long calculated that he got more than 100 bullets in exchange!
That’s a lot!
At twelve o'clock, Li Jianguo and Li Long took Li Juan and Li Qiang to Xiaohaizi with their tools.
According to their idea, they need to dig two more holes in the ice. After they are opened, they will wait for fish to come from the ice holes and use a net to fish for fish in the old holes.
Arrived at Xiaohaizi, Li Long was surprised to find that there was no one there.
After thinking about it, he understood that Tao Dayong and Gu Ermao were probably arrested, so the people in the team were afraid. After all, the input-output ratio is abnormal, the money from selling fish is not enough for fines, and it is embarrassing. Who dares to go there again?
It is certainly not that no one wants to go to Shicheng to sell fish, but at this time, even if the vast majority of farmers arrive in Shicheng, they cannot find the family home, and if they find it, they may not dare to open their mouths.
In this era, those who can take the first and second steps will become households worth ten thousand yuan early and reap the first dividends of the reform trend.
Li Jianguo asked Li Juan and Li Qiang to clean up Mao Weizi. He and Li Long were each responsible for an ice cave.
Li Long shoveled off the snow on the ice beside the reeds, then took a pickaxe and started pounding on the ice.
The ice felt a lot harder and my hands were numb with shaking. However, once the small hole is opened, it will be easier to dig out later. Now he misses the electric ice drill of his previous life very much. It does not require any force at all. After starting, it will spin for a while and the ice hole will appear.
After knocking for nearly an hour, an irregular ice hole was knocked out.
Li Long used a shovel to remove the broken ice on the water surface and saw that his elder brother Li Jianguo had already used a net to catch fish in the old ice cave.
Obviously, he has finished smashing the hole in the ice.
Li Long put down his tools and went to help, and then he saw a big man walking towards the production team.
Tao Daqiang?
Why is he here?
