Chapter 92 Big items coming into the house
When Zhong Guoqiang left, Li Jianguo asked in a low voice:
“Xiaolong, do you still know the manager here?”
“I’ll give it to him. I sold fish and meat." Li Long said with a smile, "The big meat buns he brought home were from his family. When he was selling fish a few days ago, I knew him." >
Li Jianguo nodded, so that’s it.
After a while, the food was served.
Braised pork, braised chicken, braised beef with potatoes, braised mutton...
They are all hard dishes.
These days, large plate chicken and spicy chicken haven’t appeared yet. What’s served here are all traditional dishes. Li Long ordered four hard dishes and a plate of shredded potatoes. Liang Yuemei insisted on stopping him. Didn't let me order food.
They all looked like big dishes, but everyone’s appetite was really amazing. These five big plates, plus five bowls of rice, were all eaten.
Even the soup on the plate made Li Juan and Li Qiang eat the steamed buns.
After eating, Liang Yuemei was still normal, but Li Jianguo, Li Long, Li Juan and Li Qiang basically didn't want to move.
Because Li Long and Zhong Guoqiang said before when ordering, the carriage was taken care of and they did not need to take care of it.
Li Long sighed, eating at this time is delicious.
It’s not like the later generations, when there is enough oil and water, the appetite is much smaller. Now when he eats a bowl of noodles, he has to add at least three noodles.
It’s not for nothing that I’m poor when I’m young.
In later generations, he remembered eating noodles out when he was in his fifties. Not to mention adding noodles, even if it was a larger noodle restaurant, he would have some left over.
"Let's go," Li Jianguo said after resting for a while and drinking a bowl of tea. "We have eaten, bought and bought. We have to go back."
Li Juan Both Li Qiang and Li didn't want to go back.
Li Long suddenly remembered something and said:
"Brother, I forgot. We have to go to the department store. I have something I haven't bought yet."
Driving the carriage to the department store, Li Jianguo followed Li Long inside. He was curious about why Li Long I never said what to buy.
Li Long came to the place where sewing machines were sold, took out the ticket and handed it over, asking:
"How much does this sewing machine cost?"
"One hundred and fourty. "The salesperson's face was expressionless.
Li Long couldn't help but said: "Hey, the price has increased."
The salesperson looked like he didn't want to buy it.
"Here, buy one." Li Long saw that there was only one brand here, which was standard.
In addition to the upper machine head, a sewing machine set also has a support frame and a belly. You can usually turn the machine head upside down and put it into the machine belly. The entire sewing machine is a platform.
One set comes in a large box with instructions.
It wasn't until two people came out carrying the sewing machine that Li Jianguo remembered to ask:
"Xiaolong, do you want to buy it now?"
"Then buy it." Li Long smiled Said, "With this, wouldn't it be much more convenient for my sister-in-law to make clothes and shoes?"
"That's right." Of course Li Jianguo knew that his wife had long wanted a sewing machine. But given the previous situation of the Li family, it would be impossible in a short time.
Of course, after the land was divided in spring, the Li family bought a sewing machine within two years. Li Jianguo was very talented in farming, which both Li Long and Li Long admired very much.
If not for the accident, the Li family would have been among the top few in the village - after all, Li Jianguo had already bought a tractor a few years after the household responsibility system was implemented, becoming one of the few families in the village with a household worth 10,000 yuan.
“What is this?” Although Liang Yuemei saw the word sewing machine on the box, she still couldn’t believe it.
"A sewing machine." Li Jianguo smiled and put the box on the carriage together with Li Long, "Xiaolong bought it, now you are happy."
"What? A sewing machine? "Liang Yuemei was really shocked," Why did you buy a sewing machine? You didn’t need a ticket. It cost more than a hundred, right? "Xiaolong asked Xu Chengjun for the money," Li Jianguo said. Xiaolong.”
"What for?" Li Long waved his hand, "Aren't my shoes and clothes all made by my sister-in-law? The land was allotted to me later. When I go into the mountains, why don't I have to let you plant it? When the time comes to pay the public grain, why don't you give it to me? Pay? Now I am also a member of the family, and I am not separated.”
At this time, paying public food is a big deal. If the land is divided, not only will the public grain be paid, but there will also be three mentions and five unifications. However, there will be less trouble in northern Xinjiang. After all, there is more land, and farmers will have less pressure to survive.
Li Long really doesn’t plan to farm anymore. Later, the land was handed over to the cooperative. He caught fish, shrimps and crabs all day long, and had long forgotten what happened in the land.
Now if he is asked to go to the fields to pull weeds, thin seedlings, sprinkle fertilizers, or cut wheat under the bright sun, he really can't do it.
It has nothing to do with being lazy, it’s just that I don’t want to do it.
This sewing machine and the things I bought later for my family should be considered as compensation.
This is Li Long’s own selfishness.
After Liang Yuemei was shocked, she felt joy. She touched the box of the sewing machine. If it were at home, she would probably open it eagerly.
Only the captain of the team has a sewing machine at home!
And it’s the kind that doesn’t lend out.
Now, he is definitely famous.
While the carriage was driving back, Li Long took the opportunity to tell his eldest brother and his family about the house again:
"It turned out that I was sold to the fish seller in the county, Ma's family" , the old man went back to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year with his son. He gave me the key to his house. I'll help take care of the house."
"Then you have to go check it out every once in a while." Li Jianguo said unconcernedly, "You have to go out on the street from time to time anyway. , just take a look.”
“Yeah.”
Li Long was paving the way for him to sell the house to himself after a while, and it would be smooth sailing if Lao Ma doesn't come back. Now if I directly say that I want to buy the house, I’m afraid my eldest brother won’t be able to accept it.
After all, Lao Ma’s house has only been back for a year, and no one knows what it will be like in the future.
After returning home, when the Lu family's sister-in-law heard the news and went out to see it, the news that the Li family bought a sewing machine spread immediately.
After returning the carriage, Li Long returned home and heard that there were many people in the West Room.
They all came to see the sewing machines. At the same time, I also saw the meat hanging in the spare house - after all, sewing machines can only be placed in spare houses now.
"The Li family is completely in trouble. You won't be able to finish all this meat until the end of next year, right?"
"How rich is your family if you can afford a sewing machine?"
" From now on, Li Juan's mother can make clothes easily. The sewing machine is much faster than sewing by hand."
"That's right, this is a machine!"
……
Li Long didn't know that after knowing that the sewing machine was bought by Li Long, the women in the neighborhood had the idea of introducing him to someone else.
After living in a big house in the county, Li Long was not used to using kerosene lamps when he came back.
He knew that power lines would be extended to every house after spring, but power delivery was not guaranteed at that time. It was normal for the power to be cut off two or three times a day, or to be without power for half of a month.
It has not been long since the reform was implemented, and the grassroots management at the county level is a bit chaotic. Where the wires are pulled from has something to do with it.
No choice, just endure it.

Today’s trumpet data was not as good as yesterday’s, and I lost 100 points after reading again—my mentality was a bit broken at the time. Okay, let’s continue typing and prepare for updates before it goes on the shelves. As for the data, let’s leave it at that.
