Chapter 269: Not letting Qiangqiang go to school?
Li Long didn't pick off much meat this time. This female roe deer does not have a lot of meat. There are five or six kilograms of pure meat removed from it, and the rest is taken to the bones and dried directly. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to chew on a stick with dry bones——
While picking the meat, Li Long thought of something and couldn't help but laugh. I remember that when Xu Haijun came back to chat with them as a soldier in his last life, he complained. He said that when the cooking class got a sheep, the company commander asked a minority border guard to help cut the meat, and planned to use the picked meat bones for lunch. meal.
After the meat was removed, the cooking squad leader quit and went directly to the company commander to report that the bones could not be used for cooking. The company commander still didn't believe it. When he went over to take a look, he found that the border guard was so powerful. The meat on the bones was picked cleanly, and even the fascia was removed... What a waste, making bone soup. Bar.
Li Long himself cannot pick out such bones, but he believes that Harimu and the others can definitely do it.
Rub salt on the meat bones and hang them on the shelf. If there is not enough space, squeeze the half-dried meat together and put it together, and then hang the meat with thin wire.
The rack of meat looks quite spectacular, and Li Long himself feels full of harvest and a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, the matter is not over yet. Rubbing the skin with salt, stretching it out and drying it on the grass, the next step is to deal with the internal organs, which is already a familiar task.
The stove was turned on, and two pots were set up. One pot was used to cook the prepared offal, and the other began to simmer the meat. There's not a lot of meat, so it doesn't take much time. The sun has not yet fully risen, so the temperature is not high. Li Long just wants to take advantage of this time to finish the work and stop working when the sun rises in the sky.
Too sunny.
The feeling of burning wood is better than burning corn poles at home, at least you don't need to keep adding firewood. Li Long sat under the eaves with a melon in his arms, eating and watching the fire. He planned to go there again in the evening to see if he had gained anything.
Get one or two more prey, this time it will be fine. This meat is enough for the family to eat, and the rest is to catch fish to make money.
Although I have a lot of money on hand, how can I have enough of this thing? There are a lot of things to buy in the future, so there is no harm in having more money. Some things are good to buy now and save for later.
Think about the stores in later generations that sold old wine at high prices. Now these wines only cost one or two yuan a bottle, and Moutai only costs a few yuan.
Buy a few boxes and save them. When future generations drink it, at least it will be the real thing.
Of course, Maotai-flavor wines are generally not used here, so you can save some other wines.
It's just random thoughts, and it doesn't involve making money. After all, if you want to make money, there are many other ways.
After finishing the watermelon, Li Long went to look at the pot where the offal was cooked, added a ladle of water, and then went to bed.
The sunshine outside is too strong at this time, and I don’t want to do anything. He admired Harimu and the others a little. He estimated that they must be cutting grass on the hillside now, which was not comfortable.
When Li Long got up, the open flame under the stove had been extinguished, and the aroma was wafting around. He took a chopstick and inserted it into his heart. It was definitely cooked. Then I tasted it again and it was not bad.
Then sprinkle it with salt and fish it out. Slice and start drying. A big wooden table really helped a lot. Rinse it with water, wipe it dry, place the removed and sliced offal on top, cover it with a cage cloth, and press the corners of the cage cloth with stones. , the rest is waiting to be done.
You don’t have to dry it completely, you can collect the salt by half-drying it, so it won’t break easily.
After all this was done, Li Long put the cooked meat and oil into the enamel basin, covered it and placed it in a small room. Pour water into the two pots. The residual heat from the hot ashes under the stove heats the water, then rinses it clean. Then goes to the spring water to rinse the pots clean and wipe them dry. Next, it’s time to go to the hot spring.
Li Long felt that he had become lazy. There are so many animals in this mountain, how could I identify the hot springs?
He analyzed it as he walked with the gun in hand. He felt that he had become lazy, and it was also because he wanted to take a bath in the hot springs, right?
It's very likely because of this.
After figuring this out, Li Long was no longer entangled.
When he went to the hot spring, there were indeed no animals. He was not disappointed. He soaked in the hot spring for half an hour and then went back.
When he went to bed at night, Li Long hesitated for a moment whether to put away the hung and dried meat. After thinking about it, he decided not to. It would be troublesome to put it away and have to hang it again tomorrow.
As a result, in the middle of the night, I was awakened by the howling of wolves outside.
Li Long hurriedly put on his clothes, picked up the gun, and opened the glass cloth of the window to look outside.
Can’t see it.
He listened carefully and found that the howling of wolves was quite far away and there was no movement around the wooden house, so he simply opened the safety of the gun, loaded the bullet, opened the door buckle and walked out——
Through the moonlight, you can see a few wolves milling around on the opposite hillside. One wolf wanted to come down, and its target was obviously the dried meat hanging on the pole, but it turned back within a dozen steps.
Li Long squatted half in front of the wooden house, looking over there.
It was a bit far away and he felt like he couldn't hit it. He wanted to wait and see if the wolf would get closer.
However, the wolves seemed to see Li Long coming out, and they always stayed at that distance, confronting Li Long.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Li Long became impatient. No matter whether he could hit or not, he aimed over there and fired several shots "bang bang bang bang". One shot seemed to have missed a certain line. The wolf screamed, and then all the wolves swarmed over the hill and ran away.
You should never come here again, right?
Go back to the house and sleep.
After all this trouble, Li Long originally planned to go to the hot spring early the next day but also took a bath - by the time he got up, the sky was already bright.
Although Li Long knew that there might be nothing to gain, he was still a little unwilling to give up. He took a few pieces of half-dried belly liver and ate it while holding a gun and went to the hot spring.
Sure enough, there were traces of water on the edge of the pool, but no animals.
He also lurked in the forest for more than an hour, but still found nothing. Apparently these animals came here to soak in the early morning. It's getting hot now, so it's not the time to soak in a hot spring.
Li Long had no choice but to go back to the wooden house.
After two days of struggling like this, Li Long finally shot two half-sized wild boar cubs in one morning. It would be difficult to give this stuff to Harimu and the others. Li Long's original dried meat had been dried, so Li Long made it into dried meat and reserved a batch of offal.
After the wild boar's dried meat was hung, Li Long took advantage of the daytime to take the other dried meat, the offal, and the snow leopard skin to the county seat.
He planned to go back quickly and watch the wild boar meat at night to prevent the wolf from coming again.
When they arrived at the big courtyard, Gu Xiaoxia was not there. Li Long saw the note she left and said that she was going to check the preparation status of the brigade primary school.
Is school going to start so soon?
Li Long then thought about it and saw that it was almost September. Time flew by so fast.
Since Gu Xiaoxia was not here, Li Long didn't stay long. He left some meat and offal in the big yard, and put the snow leopard skin here, stored it, and took the rest back with him. On the team.
While passing by the bridge hole, Li Long was somewhat surprised to see the little girl again. But the little girl was on the other side of the road, sifting wheat on a flat ground over there - the ears of wheat had somehow turned into a small pile of wheat mixed with wheat tails. Although this life is difficult, it is very hard.
Li Long stopped and waved to the little girl, then took two pieces of dried meat from the sack and put them there. When the little girl ran this way, he He left on his bike.
He guessed that the little girl would bring other things to exchange with him, which was unnecessary.
Back in the team, Li Long went to Gu's house first and put some dried meat for Gu Boyuan. Gu Boyuan did not refuse and told him:
"Xiaoxia came over the first two days and said she was I’m going to the countryside for an inspection. Maybe I’ll be at our brigade in the first few days of school.”
< br>"That's just right, Qiangqiang and the others are going to school too." Li Long said with a smile, "It's just right for her to talk to the teacher and assign her to a better class."
This kind of care is in Li Long seems to take it for granted, just like Jiang Defu in "Parents' Love" who asked Lao Ou's daughter to join the army.
In the society of human beings, if you don't use the resources you have, you are like a big fool - Li Long thinks that he is not such a noble person.
“That’s what I said, Xiaoxia said she knew.” Gu Boyuan nodded, “It seems you are living a good life in the mountains...”
“That’s right, you can’t work hard to make money. "It's a house." Li Long said with a smile, "We'll get married soon after we build a house."
"That's pretty much it!" Gu Boyuan nodded, then shook his head: "Xiaoxia is in the county, and you are often away from home. The house in Mahao is good, so why else build it?"
"Build it before you can get the homestead." "Li Long said, "Homestead land will be valuable in the future. Maybe in a few decades, people in the city will want to live in the countryside."
"How is that possible?" Although Gu Boyuan graduated from college, it was impossible for him to see through the changes decades later. He shook his head vigorously, "They are all going to the city, how can they possibly come to the countryside?"
"That's impossible to say!"
Li Long left the Gu family and went to Old Uncle Luo's place, where he put down a few pieces of dried meat before returning to his home.
It was past lunch time, it was quite hot in the yard, and the adobe house was quite comfortable, so Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei were all in the house, as was Li Qingxia. Du Chunfang couldn't sleep in bed, so she sat at the door and took a nap.
The sound of Li Long's bicycle woke up Du Chunfang. She was very happy to see Li Long. Knowing that Li Long had not eaten, he immediately wanted to get up and prepare food for Li Long, but Li Long stopped him.
What to eat at this time, everything is ready-made, Li Long doesn't choose, just eats something, and after resting until the afternoon, he rushes to the mountain again.
A few days passed like this, and students started school.
Li Qiang followed his sister Li Juan to Brigade Elementary School with his schoolbag on his back - there are quite a few people in the team going to Brigade Elementary School this year. The first and second grades of primary school were immediately withdrawn. Only one teacher named Dong from Brigade Primary School entered the Brigade Primary School. This teacher Dong was not from the village yet. Wu Shufen did not go and gave up.
The brigade primary school is noisy now. Because the first and second grades were also included, all the classrooms were disrupted and redistributed. The students who arrived first had already found their classrooms and were helping the teacher to get books. The students who arrived later were still running around looking for their classrooms like headless flies.
The fourth grade is better. The first, second and third grades are all new to the school (this year’s new third grade is promoted from the original second grade, and the original second grade is in the village primary school). The school is unfamiliar and there are no familiar teachers, so naturally I feel a little panicked.
Li Juan quickly found her classroom. She put down her schoolbag and took Li Qiang to find the new first-grade report.
However, when signing up, Li Qiang was stuck.
He is now six years and four months old, not yet seven years old - the state stipulates that he should enter first grade at the age of seven, and he is not old enough.
The registered teacher was surrounded by a group of children. At this time, the children basically went to school by themselves, even if they were in the first grade. At most, they had older children from the neighbors they knew well to help guide them, so there were no adults.
The teacher was very worried because there were some things that the children couldn’t explain clearly. For people like Li Qiang who were not old enough, the teacher simply refused.
When he heard that he couldn't go to school, Li Qiang couldn't hold it in anymore - he had worked hard to prepare for it for two years!
He is considered "older" in preschool, mainly because he attended it when he was little, and no one cared about him at that time. When he was more than five years old, he followed him again, and he learned basic things.
Li Qiang really wants to be strong. He doesn’t want to go back to preschool anymore - he had already boasted to his friends before coming here that he was going to first grade. Now he can’t go and will be sent back. How can he do it? ?
“Don’t cry!” Li Juan looked at Li Qiang’s expression and knew that he was about to shed tears, so she immediately said, “I’ll go find our teacher and see if I can let the teacher talk about it...”
Now Li Juan has only this option.
However, when Li Juan went over to tell her teacher, the teacher immediately shook his head:
"Don't go to school until you are old enough. We will wait until next year. All the first-grade students this year have passed. Let your brother go back." Come back next year - Go and tell your brother, there is a meeting in the class!"
When Li Juan heard this, there was nothing she could do. She walked back disappointed. Just now, Li Juan asked Li Qiang to wait outside the first-grade admissions teacher's office. Now she could only find Li Qiang and tell him about this.
I’m not worried that Li Qiang will go wrong on the way back, because there is only one way, but if he can’t go to school, not only Li Qiang and himself, but also his family will probably be unhappy.
When Li Juan came back, she saw not only Li Qiang but also Gu Xiaoxia.
When Gu Xiaoxia saw Li Qiang, she felt that Li Long's little nephew was standing there alone, helpless and pitiful.
Gu Xiaoxia immediately went over and asked:
"Qiangqiang, what's wrong?"
Li Qiang's face was still tense at first, but when he saw Gu Xiaoxia, he finally He couldn't hold it any longer, he knew that Gu Xiaoxia would She was almost her aunt and her relative, so this question made him cry aggrievedly:
"Aunt Xiaoxia... aunt... they... they wouldn't let me I go to school..."
Gu Xiaoxia didn't expect Li Qiang to cry directly. She hurriedly knelt down to comfort:
"Don't cry, don't cry, tell me what's going on?"
Li Qiang couldn't explain clearly as he cried. Just then Li Juan came over and explained the matter.
"I can pass, I've learned everything, I don't believe I let them test me..." Li Qiang felt better after crying, wiped his tears with his sleeve and said:
"I You can get 100% on the test, absolutely!”
He did not know that compulsory education was started directly upon reaching the age and no examination was required. He is quite confident in his studies. He has scored 100 points every time in preschool, so he hopes to work hard.
"Okay, okay, let me tell you..." Gu Xiaoxia wanted to laugh a little, but looking at Li Qiang's stubborn eyes, she felt a little headache, but she thought she still had some face.
Gu Xiaoxia did not directly explain that she wanted to recruit Li Qiang. She just told the admissions teacher that this was her relative's child. His academic performance in preschool was very good, and the difference was only a few months, so it was better to take the test. , if he passes the exam, can we let him go up?
At this time, the dean of academic affairs also came over. After hearing what Gu Xiaoxia said, he nodded without waiting for the admissions teacher's consent.
The superior staff have given me steps, so you have to go down.
