Chapter 214 Seeing him rising from a high building, seeing him building a building...
When Li Long and Tao Daqiang went to Xiaohaizi to get off the net in the afternoon, they met Wang Caimi.
Li Qingxia didn't go, or Du Chunfang didn't let Li Qingxia go. Liang Yuemei wanted to make clothes for them, so Du Chunfang asked Li Qingxia to stay at home.
Li Long guessed that it was the vegetables that Li Qingxia bought. Then Du Chunfang asked where the money came from after lunch. After knowing that Li Long gave Li Qingxia money every time, Du Chunfang stopped letting Li Qingxia come. .
I am afraid that my younger son will divide all the money and I will not be able to save any money to get my wife.
Of course this is just Li Long's guess.
When the two people arrived at Xiaohaizi, they saw Wang Caimi and Meng Zhiqiang setting their nets along the east bank of Xiaohaizi.
They watched Li Long and Tao Daqiang carrying tires over, laughing awkwardly in the water.
Wang Caimi took the initiative to say hello:
"Xiaolong, you guys come here to lower the net? This uses tires - is it to lower the net in deep water?"
"Yes." Li Long said with a smile, "There are fish in shallow water, but not many fish. There are many fish in deep water. By the way, there are duck turtles in the water now. They bite and it hurts. You guys got them. Come out quickly."
"Okay, okay." Wang Caimi nodded repeatedly.
Li Long and Tao Daqiang carried the tire, took the basin and net to the southeast bank, chose a place and pushed the tire into the water.
It was still Li Long who lowered the net. He first went to a place about ten meters away from the shore and lowered the basin, and then started looking for a waterway to lower the net.
Wang Caimi and Meng Zhiqiang watched Li Long go to the waterway thirty or forty meters away from the shore to set the net, and they only felt envy in their hearts.
It is still risky for them to set their nets on the shore. If someone sneaks up in the middle of the night and takes the net away, they won't even have time to cry.
Li Long and the others lowered the net so deep that it would be difficult to retrieve it. The water there is two to three meters deep, and even if you swim there to retrieve the net, it will be inconvenient to come back.
People are afraid of trouble.
Meng Zhiqiang also saw this and asked Wang Caimi:
"Dalu, do you think this network is still here?"
"What should we do? We don't have tires." Wang Caimi said helplessly, "It's already up to the chest here, and it's up to the neck further in, so how do we get off the net? Okay, let's do it here."
< br>The two people clumsily lowered the net into the water little by little. It was their first time to lower the net into the water, so after lowering the net into the water, one end was tied to the reed pole under the water here, and the other end was tied to another waterway. on the grass roots.
The two people smartly thought that this kind of net is like a barrage net, which can directly stick to all the passing fish.
When they finished lowering the net, they found that Li Long’s net had also been lowered and the tires were on the shore. Li Long and Tao Daqiang had already packed up and were preparing to go back.
So fast?
Wang Caimi was a little puzzled and wanted to ask, so he waited for Li Long to come over and asked:
"Xiaolong, how many nets have you set down, how come you are so fast?"
" "Six." Li Long said, "I downloaded six."
"So many? You did it so fast?" Wang Caimi didn't believe it at first, but then he thought about it, there was no need to lie to him.
"Then what size mesh do you have?" Meng Zhiqiang was most concerned about the mesh problem. He was worried that the net he set would not be able to catch fish.
"They range from two to five fingers." Li Long said, "The big mesh catches big fish, and the small mesh catches small fish. People in the city not only like big fish, but also like small fish."
"That's it." Wang Caimi was slightly reassured. There should be no problem with the mesh of the net he took.
The four of them walked to the team together.
When he was almost home, Wang Caimin remembered and asked:
"Xiaolong, what time will you get up tomorrow to pick up the net?"
"Six or seven o'clock." Li Long said, "You don't even look at the time. We have a lot of nets, so we have to get up early and choose fish early."
"That's true. Choosing fish is also a troublesome matter. Right."
"Well, it's troublesome." Li Long nodded.
Tao Daqiang also nodded.
Going back at noon yesterday, he told Tao Jianshe what Li Long said. Although Tao Jianshe breathed a sigh of relief and agreed that Tao Daqiang did not ask for the five yuan, he was still skeptical about Li Long's optimism.
But in this matter, Li Long has the right to speak. Tao Jianshe believed that he had done something wrong, and he had no other good solution, so he could only listen to Li Long and look back.
Today when Wang Caimi and the others were talking to Li Long, Tao Daqiang didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He was afraid that if he said something wrong again and caused trouble again, he would really die.
In fact, in Tao Daqiang's view, it is easy to get off the net now, but it will be difficult for them to pick up the net tomorrow. Of course, Tao Daqiang won't talk about this, and these people have to explore it themselves.
Tao Daqiang can be considered someone who has experienced it. He knows Bai De’s experience, but these people will not cherish it. They will only believe it after he kowtows to his head and bleeds.
When Li Long went to Xiaohaizi, he had told Tao Daqiang that he met Wang Caimin in the morning and told them some experiences, but it was hard to say whether they would remember it or not.
Back home, Li Long just put down his things when he was called to the spare room by Liang Yuemei. My wife, Du Chunfang, was also here. The two of them measured Li Long's figure and wanted to make a suit of clothes for him.
Li Long didn’t refuse, he just gave, and sometimes he had to accept the kindness of his family.
After measuring his body, Li Long took the basket and rode his bicycle to the fields, planning to get some pigweed.
The pigs at home have grown up a lot, and they are getting hungry very quickly. If it were not for the few acres of feed land allocated to them, they would not be satisfied just by cutting pig grass.
He rode directly to the feed field. The main thing grown here is beets, which have grown now. Although they are not very big, it is no problem to break off some of the leaves from the cluster of leaves that have grown. It will continue to grow.
Li Long parked his bicycle at the edge of the field and took a look inside. He found that the water had just been poured on the ground and the ground was still a little damp, but there would be no mud.
Beets are growing well. The seedlings have been thinned out a long time ago. There is very little grass in the field. It can be seen that my brother and sister-in-law are working very carefully in the field.
Li Long walked a few lines inside and began to break off the beet leaves with a basket.
As I was breaking it, I heard someone shouting from the ground:
"Xiaolong, what are you doing?"
Li Long straightened up and put a handful of beet leaves in his hand into the basket. When he looked out, he found that it was Gu Zhixin from the team. He was in his forties. Although he was about the same age as Li Jianguo, he joined the team later. .
This Gu Zhixin’s Gu Ermao family has some connections. Their family and the Li family are not in the same residential area, so the two families are not close to each other.
"Get some beet leaves to use as hogweed." Li Long said, "Have you finished your work in the fields? It's fast."
"Yes." Gu Zhixin said with a smile. , "Working in my own field is different, my energy is different. My sunflowers are growing well this year, and I can plant a lot of them in autumn. I don't have to worry about getting enough oil this year."
"That's great. Li Long responded perfunctorily, "Where's your sister-in-law? You're not going to work with her?" "He's gone, she's going back to cook first," Gu Zhixin replied, "It's better to have a ration farm." , and this fodder land. I heard that the land of the vegetable deputy team was the best land in our team. When we grew vegetables here, all the manure from the team's horses went up here..."
"That's what my eldest brother got in exchange for raising a few pigs." Li Long heard the sourness in Gu Zhixin's words, and he couldn't stand it, so he retorted:
“Actually, you see, there is still a lot of land for the deputy team. If your family catches a few pigs and reports them to the team, you can divide them into five. acres of land."
"Really?" Gu Zhixin's eyes lit up as he listened, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, how did I get here? ?" Li Long smiled half-heartedly, "You don't think I gave the captain a gift, do you? How is that possible?"
Gu Zhixin blushed a little, he really thought so.
“How many pigs can divide the land?” Gu Zhixin asked.
"Batou, probably." Li Long said, "I remember it seems to be Batou."
Gu Zhixin asked again:
"Then you often go to the county, I want to ask, how much does a pig cost now? ”
He thought that if it was not expensive, he would bite the bullet and borrow some money to buy it. How much more grain can be harvested with five more acres of land!
"A month ago, it was ten yuan a head. Now, the pig is getting bigger, so it's twenty, right?"
"Twenty!" Upon hearing this number, Gu Zhixin almost breathed a sigh of relief Didn't swallow it.
One head is twenty, eight heads is one hundred and sixty, which is more than the price of a bicycle!
It’s not enough to sell your belongings.
Gu Zhixin sighed, don't think about it anymore.
But think about how the Li family could get these five acres of land?
After Li Long finished speaking, he ignored him and continued to break off the beet leaves. This thing was much faster than cutting pigweed, and a big basket came out in a while.
However, the piglets at home were very edible. Li Long pressed the beet leaves in the basket and continued to break them.
You also need to have experience in breaking off beet leaves. You can't just break off one or two leaves from each beet.
"Xiaolong, your family is better!" Gu Zhixin continued, "You make easy money, and this pig is easy to buy. You are so lucky..."
"That's not luck." Li Long interrupted him, "Just look at me making money. I get up at six o'clock in the morning. It's winter." I walked more than 30 kilometers to pull wood and sheep, and it was as cold as my grandson. You can't just watch others earn money and eat meat, and you can't see others working hard."
"Hey, that's what I said..." Gu Zhixin explained with a smile.
Li Long didn’t listen to him anymore, he just broke off the beet leaves and quickly filled the basket. He compacted it again and broke some more. When he was about to leave, he looked at Gu Zhixin I don’t know when I left.
Li Long sneered. Some people in the team were really angry and laughed at others, not wanting others to live better than themselves.
However, as a person in two lifetimes, Li Long has seen more and has a much better mentality. No matter what others think, that is other people's opinions. It is best to live your own life.
Even if those people are so angry that they vomit blood, it will not affect them much. They have no power. The most they can do is gossip under the big tree at the head of the village.
These days, we still have to rely on strength to speak for itself. To paraphrase a famous star from the past life, when you have enough money and high enough fame, everyone around you will smile at you.
When Li Long returned home carrying a heavy basket, Li Juan was about to go out to cut pig grass. When she saw Li Long coming back with a basket of beet leaves, she knew that she didn’t have to cut the grass anymore, so she happily helped. Then Li Long lifted the basket down and pulled it over the board to chop it.
"Have you finished your homework?" Li Long asked, "After you finish, go and play. You are busy every day. You are still young, and it is not good to be too sensible."
Li Juan didn't understand a little, but Li Long's words still made her happy.
"Uncle, I'll go out to play after I chop it." Li Juan thought for a while and said, "You cook?"
"No need." Li Long waved his hand, "Let's go play. 1 It’s not okay to act like a little adult every day.”
Li Juan smiled and then went out to play with the rubber band.
Li Long moved the basket to the edge of the cutting board, picked up the broken kitchen knife, and began to chop the beet leaves.
"Just get used to it." Du Chunfang didn't know when she sat at the door. "Juan is already eleven years old. She can do any job back home."
"That's my hometown, here. , her mission is to study. What do I do with so much money? Just to let them live the life a child should live. "Li Long said while chopping beet leaves, "A little older and working every day... We can't compare to the city, but I can make money now and make them live a better life than other kids in the team, that's fine. . ”
Liang Yuemei was in the room. When she heard this, she couldn’t help but wipe her eyes.
She felt that she was not as good to her children as Li Long was.
Chopping beet leaves is actually quite relaxing. They are very crispy and have enough water. They can be chopped in one go and are very neat. They look much better than other pigweeds.
While he was chopping, Li Qiang rushed in from outside and shouted:
"Uncle, uncle!"
Li Long looked up and found that Li Qiang's face was swollen. Chunks.
"Qiangqiang, what's wrong with you?" Li Long stood up suddenly. He thought Li Qiang had been beaten.
"I... I broke a hornet's nest and got stung by a wasp." Li Qiang was a little embarrassed, "It hurt, but I didn't cry, really!"
"Okay, you're not crying." Li Long didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was still strong at this time.
"Uncle, look at this wasp's nest, there is honey! Look, try it, it's sweet!"
Common sense says that wasps do not produce honey. But even when Li Long and the others were young, they had smashed a hornet's nest, and there was still a little bit of honey in the honeycomb that was as clear as water.
This is what Li Qiang should be referring to.
"You can eat it, I won't." Li Long smiled. Li Qiang paid such a high price and still got a little bit of honey, but he still knew how to eat it for himself. It's really good!
"Uncle, you eat it!" Li Qiang took the honeycomb in his hand, opened one of its eyes, tore off the small piece with honey and handed it to Li Long's mouth.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it." Li Long ate the piece of honey and said, "Come on, come on, I'll get you some soapy water to disinfect and reduce swelling."
After Li Qiang took care of the stinging place, Li Long quickly chopped the beet leaves, then started to change the pot and pour water to boil.
At this time, Li Qiang had already shared his harvest with his grandparents and his mother, with a proud look on his face.
“Qiangqiang has grown up,” Du Chunfang praised with a smile, “I know how to share this honey with everyone.”
"It must be divided!" Li Qiang said, "We are all one family!"
His words made everyone laugh.
As expected, adults’ words and deeds are very important to children.
