Even though it was already afternoon, the sun still hurt my body, especially my exposed skin.
As I walked near Xiaohaizi, the water vapor blew over with the wind, and I felt a little cooler.
Up to the embankment, Li Long saw several people setting nets in Haizi - mainly in areas not deep near the water. Two people found the place where Li Long first lowered the nets - —There is a trough that goes directly into the water. The edge of the trough is shallow and suitable for walking.
“It seems that selling fish can still make money, and there are many people catching fish.” Li Long said with a smile.
“There are several fish sellers in the past two days.” Li Qingxia said proudly, “But none of them sell as well as us. I rode my bicycle and carried fish to the market early, and the price was 80 cents per kilogram. , it was sold out in less than an hour, and they didn’t arrive at the market until they turned back.”
Only then did Li Long understand why Meng Zhiqiang had such an expression when he saw him yesterday.
"Dad, where are you going to get off the net today?" Li Long, who had followed, did not regard himself as the main force, so he asked Li Qingxia.
"Let's go to the south. There are reeds all over there. They can't lower the net. There is a water channel to get in. Today you are here, and it is your responsibility to draw the tire to lower the net."
Li Qingxia has gotten rid of his previous role as a spectator, and now feels a bit like a strategist.
"Okay." Li Long naturally had no objection. Where should I play or not?
The three of them walked to the south of Xiaohaizi. Li Long looked around and found that in the southwest, the wheat in Liang Wenyu's village had also been harvested. There were scattered people picking up wheat ears in the fields, and there were also sheep in the wheat fields. Eat grass.
He put the tire down and sat on it himself. Tao Daqiang hurriedly handed over the mesh bag.
"Okay, it's up to me." Li Long paddled the water in with a water paddle.
Not far after entering, many waterfowl were startled.
Li Long was a little worried. These water birds include wild ducks, water cocks, and some unknown ones, a large group. If this gets tangled up in the net, then there is no chance of catching any fish in this net.
He rowed the tire thirty or forty meters into the waterway, and the front opened up to a large area of water. The water was not very deep, and the depth that could be seen from the clear water was only one or two meters.
There were many aquatic plants growing in the middle of this open water area. The water birds would not go away, so Li Long circled this area of aquatic plants and lowered his net among the aquatic plants and wild reeds.
The skill of lowering the net was not lost. When Li Long turned his head, he saw Li Qingxia also getting into the water. He should be getting into the basin.
I don’t know if there are many ditch fish in this area.
Li Long finished lowering the net and rowed the tire ashore. Tao Daqiang pulled him up, and Li Long said:
"There are too many waterfowl here. There may be a few hanging at once tomorrow, and there may not be many fish caught by then."
"Hey, who says it's not?" Li Qingxia heard what Li Long said. He said immediately, "There were two wild ducks hanging on the net two days ago. The fish caught on the net were half less - twenty or thirty kilograms. I almost didn't want to sell them."
"Then. Not bad either. "Li Long smiled, "It's better than those of them."
"Of course, there are still people who don't know how to use the net." Li Qingxia's voice became smaller, "They also put the net on both ends. Once tied, it's like blocking a net - the most common thing I've heard is that four nets caught 20 kilograms of fish, but I've never heard of big fish weighing three or four kilograms..."
Li Long didn't say anything. The three of them walked back together.
"Brother Long," Tao Daqiang suddenly said, "Are you still going up the mountain during this time?"
"Go up in two days. How many more days can we still pick mushrooms on the mountain." Li Long said, "After picking up, the mushroom season is over. I’ll be back.”
Tao Daqiang didn’t say anything after hearing this.
"What do you want to say?" Li Long said, "I think I can do it, so I will."
"Um..." Tao Daqiang suddenly became a little nervous, "Um...here I mentioned a target, and I want you to serve as my advisor..."
"I can't be your adviser." Li Long refused directly. "I'm not married either. I'm just like you. How can I be your adviser? It's up to you two to live your life. Whatever you think is okay."
Two As a human being, Li Long thinks he is not that kind of person. A person who can tell the good or bad character at a glance. Moreover, this human nature is complex. For example, when I first came back to life, I found Wu Shufen quite annoying. But in her position, isn't that also a reflection on the "good life"? A kind of yearning, is it wrong?
He has no way of judging others, let alone telling Tao Daqiang whether two people are suitable or not.
Tao Daqiang was a little disappointed, Li Long said with a smile:
"Let me tell you this, you see, what I think is suitable may not be suitable for you. After all, I am not you, right? . You don’t have high requirements for life, so you won’t be able to separate from your dad, right? Then you have to consider living with your dad when you get married.”
As he spoke, he turned around and asked Li Qingxia:
"Dad, will you two follow my elder brother or me from now on? I will definitely separate when I get married..."
"Then I will definitely follow. ...Why should I follow you? I still have to go back to my hometown!" Li Qingxia was almost dragged into a ditch by Li Long, and then he came to his senses.
"Why go back? It's so nice to stay here!" Li Long said with a playful smile, "You can make so much money in one day when you go back? Can you eat so well? Can you live so comfortably?"
“This is how I live I feel so comfortable, so I have to go back! I have a good life, and I have to let those old guys know... that my eldest son came to Northern Xinjiang to enjoy happiness, not to suffer!" Li Qingxia said with confidence in his tone. There are also some mixed emotions.
The three people returned to the yard. Li Long had sharp eyes and asked:
"The electricity is turned on?"
"It's turned on!" Du Chunfang said with a smile, "The house It's so bright...it's brighter than lighting five or six lights!"
"It seems like you should be prepared to buy a TV! Li Long said with a smile, "You can't just listen to the radio this night." Not now. If I catch fish for a few more days, I will have a share of the money..."
Li Long can understand Li Qingxia's thoughts.
In his hometown, Li Qingxia is in his sixties and is considered an old man. Apart from working in those few wheat fields, there is no place for him to put his skills to use. Occasionally, he would play cards with juniors who were about the same age or older than him, and there was nothing much to do.
My hometown has many resources and few resources, so it is difficult to make money. How can it be like here, where you can catch dozens of kilograms of fish every day and bring it to the market and sell it for tens of yuan?
This is what Li Qingxia has imagined all his life.
Since he was a child, before this trip to Northern Xinjiang, the most money he had ever carried on his body was no more than one hundred yuan!
But now, I already have almost 500 yuan!
What can you do with five hundred dollars? In my hometown, I can build a big brick house, buy a horse and a carriage, and buy two bicycles - there are not many families like this in my hometown!
It is said that money is a man’s confidence. Now that he has money, Li Qingxia becomes more confident and hopes to go home and have a look - of course, he also hopes that the money he has in his hands can contribute to the family of his eldest son Li Jianguo.
You can still make money, which is the best way to prove that you are not old yet.
"Why do you have to pay for it?" Li Long said with a smile, "You keep your money and spend it however you want..."
They were discussing this topic, and Tao Daqiang was a little envious. But he didn't say anything, quietly left the yard and went home.
Since Brother Long is not a consultant, he has to make his own decision about the subject.
In the yard, something was cooking in a pot, and the air was filled with the smell of porridge. Li Long guessed that they were cooking rice porridge. Li Juan was lighting a fire in front of the pot, looking at Li Long and calling her uncle with a smile.
Li Long responded and then asked:
"Juan, are your parents still on the field?"
"Well, the people in the county are watching on the wheat field and told them to kill the wheat as soon as possible. The weather may not be good later."
Li Long has no say in this aspect. From the perspective of farmers, it seems to be a natural thing to pay public grain. Of course, from the previous life to the new century, Li Long did not participate in the discussion on the issue of old-age care after farmers paid public grain, which is meaningless.
While they were talking, Li Qiang ran in from outside the yard. He was very tanned, and his vest was full of mud. He was holding a bunch of crucian carp strung with splendens in his hand. Some of them were still alive. alive.
"Uncle! Someone has gone to Laoma No. 1. I heard from Uncle Luo that he was responsible for something? Interviewing or something. He heard that you were back and asked you to go quickly!"
< br>
Li Long originally wanted to make fun of Li Qiang, but after hearing this, he had no time to make fun of him anymore. He got on the car and quickly went to the horse number.
After leaving the yard, he heard Li Juan lecturing Li Qiang in the yard behind:
"If you don't work every day, you just play! If your clothes are dirty, go to the well. Wash it away! You can wash your clothes by yourself today! If you can’t wash them clean, I won’t take care of you!”
Suppression from the bloodline.
When Li Long arrived at Lao Ma No., he saw a women's bicycle with a 26-inch chain box parked outside Lao Ma No., which was somewhat similar to Gu Xiaoxia's bike.
Jiang Zhiyu has long wanted to come down for an interview, but unfortunately the village has been busy during this time. Today she finally followed the deputy mayor to the village, mainly to interview about the summer grain harvest.
She had already written the interview about Summer Grain Harvest last year, so she didn’t really care about it this year. On the contrary, she was very interested in this special breed.
"Cadre Jiang, be careful, that deer looks good, but it can go up against people!" Lao Luo reminded.
The two fawns were almost as big as adult sheep at this time, but their appearance was much better than that of sheep. Jiang Zhiyu thought they were very cute and reached out to touch them through the railing.
The two red deer were not afraid of people. When Jiang Zhiyu stretched out his hand, they stretched out their mouths and licked her hand.
"It's so cute!" Jiang Zhiyu wanted to go in and take a look.
“You can’t get in, they are really annoying!” Lao Luo Ke was worried about hurting this young and beautiful cadre - Xu Chengjun, a fool, ran away after bringing the person over, and he also I don’t know if Li Jiaqiang brought the words to me, Xiaolong, come quickly!
Jiang Zhiyu strongly requested to go in and take two photos of Xiaolu. Lao Luo couldn't stop him, so he had to open the door and let her in.
Just after taking two photos, the deer became dissatisfied with the unfamiliar Jiang Zhiyu. After all, he didn’t bring them anything to eat. Jiang Zhiyu was taking pictures of one of the deer, and the other one came around to stretch her body. Suddenly He just pushed his head over and hit it on the butt!
When Li Long entered the yard, he happened to see this embarrassing scene.
Uncle Luo was frightened and hurriedly drove the deer away and helped Jiang Zhiyu up.
"Old man, I don't blame you, it's just me being careless." Jiang Zhiyu still felt that the fawn was not to blame. She attributed the fawn's behavior to the nature of the animal.
"You'd better come out." Li Long couldn't help but said, "Stay in, maybe two deer will go after you. Look at the roe deer, which is also watching eagerly. It has horns. ! "
As soon as he said this, Lao Luo hurriedly covered Jiang Zhiyu and walked out of the circle.
“Are you Li Long?” Jiang Zhiyu was not embarrassed at all and asked proactively:
"You caught these deer, roe deer and wild boar?"
"Yes." Li Long heard the reporter's tone and said normally, "I am a ranger of the forestry team. When patrolling in the mountains, you will encounter wild animals. Some are shot, and some are from the mountains. A herdsman friend gave it to me.”
“Then why do you think of raising these animals? Do you have any plans to get rich? Are these wild animals worth more than ordinary livestock?”
"No," Li Long answered casually. He could tell that Jiang Zhiyu's family must be well off, so during the interview, his tone would naturally have a sense of superiority.
It's normal for him to be indifferent, after all, he has that condition. As for yourself, just ignore it.
Unexpectedly, Li Long said it so simply. Jiang Zhiyu felt that this was not acceptable. She thought for a while and said:
"As far as I know, these animals are part of the pig farm together with your brother Li Jian. Didn't you break up? What are your thoughts on this?"
"No idea. "Li Long said naturally, "It is a branch of my elder brother's pig farm. We didn't build such a big place at the beginning, otherwise we wouldn't put it here. Of course, when the pigs at home grow up, After dealing with some of them, it will be up to my brother to decide whether to keep them here or take them back.”
It’s okay to raise pigs.
Jiang Zhiyu also met an interview subject like Li Long for the first time. In the past, people I encountered would either talk eloquently about how they had plans, how to get rich, how to lead the fellow villagers to get rich in the future, etc. Or it can't be beaten with three sticks, and it needs to be guided step by step by oneself.
Li Longchun has very clear ideas, but it can be seen that he does not attach much importance to this interview and is very casual.
Too casual made Jiang Zhiyu very unhappy. How can you do this if you don’t attach importance to this work? This is a political mission!
Of course, in her opinion, Li Long was obliged to cooperate with her interview.
But she couldn't say that Li Long was uncooperative. After all, the other party answered everything she asked about, but the answer was different from what she imagined.
Jiang Zhiyu racked his brains and finally completed an interview, but it was a bit difficult when he went back to polish it.
Fortunately, she still has some skills in this area. After one night of processing, the manuscript was ready and then sent out.
Li Long did not expect that this manuscript would have a greater impact on him. (End of this chapter)
