Chapter 270 Both Masters Return
As expected, Li Qiang got a double hundred in the questions the teacher showed.
He raised his head proudly.
The dean of academic affairs took the photo on the spot and the school accepted the student.
In Class A.
The current teaching staff is still not enough, so there are only two classes in the first grade of Brigade Primary School, with more than fifty people in each class.
The matter was settled like this, and Li Qiang smiled.
Li Long didn’t know that what he and Gu Boyuan had guessed would come true so quickly.
He returned to the mountains and went to the hot springs twice more, but he failed to catch a single prey both times.
I don’t know if the nearby animals were beaten or scared away, or if there were other reasons, but it was gone.
The remaining wild boar meat was also dried, and Li Long hurried to Harimu's place in the evening, talked to him, and prepared to go down the mountain the next day.
"We don't need anything here for the time being." Harimu was not polite to Li Long. In two months, the cattle and sheep on the mountain will come down, and then they can see each other more often.
Early the next morning, Li Long got up, packed up the dried meat and put it on the back seat of his bicycle, locked the door of the wooden house, and rode down the mountain.
Arrived at the big courtyard, Li Long looked at the door open with some surprise.
Gu Xiaoxia is not at work?
Li Long entered the yard and saw Gu Xiaoxia washing clothes in the yard.
"Huh? You didn't go to work?"
"Today is Sunday." Gu Xiaoxia said with a smile, "I have been running outside for a week, so I have a day off today."
"Where have you been? Riding a bicycle or taking a car?"
"While riding a bicycle, I also helped Qiangqiang go to school." Gu Xiaoxia said with some pride, "I happened to meet Qiangqiang when I went to Brigade Elementary School that day. …”
She told about Qiangqiang's schooling. Li Long was a little surprised, and then praised her:
"It's really thanks to you, otherwise I don't know how sad Qiangqiang would be!"
"Well, he kept calling me auntie from now on..." Gu Xiaoxia was a little shy, "I told the dean of the brigade primary school that this is my nephew, and he should be taken care of."
"Definitely. But if you are strong and eager to learn, you should be able to study hard." Li Long said with a smile, "I told Uncle Gu two days ago that the teachers in the school should know about your relationship with Qiangqiang. Maybe I’ll take care of Qiangqiang. I didn’t expect this to come true.”
“Hee hee.” Gu Xiaoxia was so proud, “Will you go back to the team now?”
"Go eat two steamed buns and then go back." Li Long said, "I didn't eat in the morning, so I'm a little hungry. Is there a lot of meat here?"
"A lot! The dried meat hasn't been touched much. What's behind you? It’s also dried meat, right? Don’t put it away, just take it back.”
“Well, it was all divided last time. "Some." Li Long said, "I'll share some when I go back."
"Then...I'll go back with you," Gu Xiaoxia said, "I originally planned not to go back, but now you." Then I will go back with you."
"You have to go to work tomorrow morning..."
"Ride home for an hour now and come back when it's almost dark. What are you doing in the afternoon?"
"If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, let's set down the net and catch fish." Li Long said, "We'll see then. , or maybe do nothing.”
“That’s it. If you want to put down the net, I'll come back with you tomorrow morning."
"That's okay, but you're tired." Yes, riding a bicycle is much better than walking.”
Now that Gu Xiaoxia has decided, Li Long didn't say anything more. He talked about another thing:
"By the way, Harimu and Yushanjiang are my herder friends, and they gave you a gift. Snow leopard skin."
"What? Snow leopard skin?" Gu Xiaoxia was stunned. "Is a snow leopard a leopard?"
"Yes, a leopard in the mountains." Li Long propped up the car and went to the side room to take out the snow leopard skin and unfold it for Gu Xiaoxia to see, "Look, it's beautiful!"
“It’s so beautiful...This is the first time I’ve seen such leather...”
"More than a thousand yuan a piece." Li Long said with a smile, "I sold them one before, and this one is bigger, maybe two thousand."
"What? Two Thousands? That can't be collected!" Gu Xiaoxia was shocked, she had never seen so much money in her life!
"Keep it, it's a gift to wish us two a wedding." Li Long said with a smile, "Even if I give it back, I won't take it. I'll just get more things for Shanli later." "
"Then..." Gu Xiaoxia didn't know what to say, and after a while she said, "Then he has a really good relationship with you...it's so expensive. If you want to give something away, I will give it away.”
“They don’t care how much they give me. As long as I feel like a friend, I will give it away. I made a lot of money from them in the past. Their things have helped them a lot and even saved the life of one of their children!" Li Long said this to make it easier for Gu Xiaoxia to accept it.
After all, giving something worth two thousand yuan at once, let alone a friend, is not the way to give a gift at this time.
One hundred and ten yuan is already a lot of money to find someone to help send your son off.
"Then put this piece of leather away quickly." Gu Xiaoxia was still a little panicked, "Sell it when... you need money. We can't really owe them such a favor. You will We really need to buy them more supplies.”
“Yes, I know.”
The matter is over. Gu Xiaoxia thought the leather was really nice, but she still left it to Li Long for peace of mind. In fact, she also knew that she said it was for herself, of course because of Li Long's face. If it were not Li Long, who would those herdsmen friends know him to be? Gu Xiaoxia packed her clothes and Li Long went to buy steamed buns. After they came back and finished eating, the two of them went out together.
The sky became overcast.
After leaving the county seat, I felt the wind blowing and it started to feel cool.
"It's probably going to rain in the afternoon." Li Long said, "In this case, it might not be easy for you to walk back. It's not easy to ride a bike on that bad road."
"It's okay." Gu Xiaoxia felt it wasn't that bad, "The section out of the team and the section from the countryside to the county is pretty good."
Li Long then talked about other things, mainly the hot spring.
"Are there really so many animals bathing in hot springs?" Gu Xiaoxia was curious, "Are they the same as humans?"
"There should be something they need in the hot springs." Li Long thought After watching the videos and articles promoting the benefits of hot springs in my previous life, I felt that this should be the case.
When the two of them rode to the rural middle school together, raindrops were already falling. But the rain wasn't heavy. The roadbed from the countryside to the village is a dirt road. It hasn't rained heavily, so it's not all muddy, so it's okay to ride on.
Li Long is worried that if the rain is too heavy, the road will be full of mud and he will ride very fast - he has experienced this many times in his last life. After heavy rain, he rides to the countryside and counties and rides on it. I had to stop and use a stick to dig out the mud under the tiles on the front and rear wheels of the bicycle.
It's too much trouble.
Although the rain was not heavy, the wind was strong, and they felt a little cold in their shirts. When they turned back from the countryside, the wind was still favorable - the wind was blowing from the west.
"Are you tired?" Li Long was still asking Gu Xiaoxia during the ride.
"It's okay." Gu Xiaoxia regretted a little, knowing that if this happened, she would not follow back. Tomorrow might be really troublesome.
The rain stopped and stopped, and the ground was wet, but not muddy yet. When they crossed the reed ditch and reached the settlement, the rain actually stopped.
Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia arrived at Gu's house together. Gu Boyuan had just returned from the fields and was a little surprised to see the two of them.
"Uncle Gu, let me put some more air-dried meat for you..."
"No, what to put? What I put last time is still there uneaten!" Gu Boyuan He waved his hand and said, "Yesterday, your eldest brother sent you some more fish. I can't finish them all. Go back quickly, you I haven’t replied for a few days.”
It would have been rude to chase someone away like this, but Gu Boyuan was not an outsider, and Li Long knew what he meant, so he said with a smile:
< br>"Then I'll go back first."
"Go back, go back." Gu Boyuan waved his hand.
Li Long left on his bicycle. When he was far away, he heard Gu Boyuan complaining about Gu Xiaoxia, obviously not welcoming him back.
Of course it’s not that I’m not welcome, I just think her coming back in such a hurry will have an impact on her work.
The older generation attaches great importance to work.
Li Long passed by Lao Ma No. and went in to find Uncle Luo. He encountered the same problem as the Gu family. Uncle Luo refused to allow him to dry the meat, saying that there was still a lot of it here.
Li Long finally managed to let some go. After all, he still wanted to live here. Maybe he would want to eat it one night?
Uncle Luo pointed to the house that served as a warehouse and said:
"I just collected all the Cynomorium sunbathing on the roof, and put all the dried ones there - -You are the only one who can get so many sacks, otherwise it would be impossible to fit them in!"
Li Long went over and took a look and found that there must be at least seven or eight sacks of Cynomorium in there - quite a lot!
This is normal. After all, Cynomorium can be seen everywhere on the nearby alkali beach, and the resources are really extremely rich.
When Li Long pushed the cart back to Li's house, Li Qingxia and Tao Daqiang were picking up nets, and Li Jianguo was packing his bicycle.
The bicycle was overturned in the middle of the yard, and the rear wheel had been removed. Li Long took a look and knew that the tire should be punctured.
"Brother, does this car need to be repaired?"
"It's not easy to repair, the valve core is rotten." Li Jianguo was trying the tire with a basin of water, looking at the water Where there were bubbles, he frowned and said:
"How do I repair this place? If it can't be repaired, I have to change the tire."
"Then... Hi!" Li Qingxia said, "Daqiang took me to sell fish. When I came back, I felt something was wrong. I couldn't ride. When I came down, I saw that I was out of breath. I thought about pushing it back to cheer me up, but who You know...I'll pay for the tire."
< br>"You must be able to do it!" Du Chunfang complained, "I don't know how to pump up the car when I'm leaving, I just know how to ride it - given my age, I'm not as good as Xiaolong..."
Li Long smiled bitterly , in my eyes, I am good at everything.
"It's okay, just wait until I turn back to the county and buy an inner tube." Li Long said, "Just keep this broken tire, and you can cut it later to mend the others."
"That's all it can do."
"Then Xiaolong, can you go in the afternoon?" Li Qingxia asked, "If not, I will ride your car in the afternoon, so as not to delay the fish sales tomorrow..."
"Selling fish, you know how to sell fish!" Du Chunfang continued to complain.
"Of course, it's twenty or thirty yuan a day!" Li Qingxia said confidently.
"Then we have to wait until Xiaolong has lunch!" Du Chunfang glared at Li Qingxia, "Can't you let Xiaolong rest? He just came all the way back... You can't let go of the fish. One day?”
“It’s okay, I’m going to the county in the afternoon. What’s the big deal? Mom, what are you going to do for lunch?”
"Stew fish and rice." As soon as Li Long opened his mouth, Du Chunfang's tone changed.
"Okay, I've wanted to eat it for a long time." Li Long smiled, he really wanted to take this bite.
