Li Jianguo came back the next morning.
"There was a train passing by our hometown in the middle of the night yesterday. I bought the tickets and sent my father, mother and the girl on the train." Li Jianguo said to Li Long while eating breakfast in the courtyard Said, "When we arrived in Wucheng yesterday, she wanted to run away, so I chased her back, which alerted the police. Fortunately, they asked us and left us alone."
Li Long didn't. I thought there was something like this in the middle. It's just that the police didn't take care of it, which was a bit surprising. Normally, this kind of "forced" sending of people home should be done under strict supervision. Of course, no matter it is the best, after all, if you take care of it, it will be quite troublesome later.
"Tell daddy, will you take a telegram when you get home?"
"Tell me." Li Jianguo said, "Daddy said to go back and send the girl to her home and tell the story. Just be clear and listen to Dad. I mean, if there is nothing going on back home, he still wants to come over. I said, if you want to come over, it’s best to bring my wife with you. It’s too cold in my hometown in the winter, and there’s no stove, and there’s still air leakage in the house... ”
Li Long nodded hurriedly and did not agree anymore.
Anyway, he doesn’t want to go back in winter.
After breakfast, Li Jianguo harnessed the carriage and was about to go back. Li Long thought about it and wanted to go back. There's nothing wrong with staying here. It's better to go back and sell those Cynomorium cynomorium and catch fish for a few more days. Autumn is a quiet period with no major activities.
The two brothers returned to the team, and Li Long was still a little uncomfortable seeing the empty yard. Li Juan and Li Qiang went to school. There were usually two elderly people at home, but now it is empty.
"Xiaolong, you are busy with your own business. Your sister-in-law must have gone to the fields. I'll go take a look."
"Brother, do you want to bring the carriage?"
"Bring it, I will get some pig grass for the pigs to eat in the afternoon."
"Okay." Li Long said, "Then I will Go to the old horse."
Usually he doesn't ask about the work in the fields. It's not time to break the corn and sunflower yet. Of course, Li Long must participate in the harvest - his father and mother are not here, and he cannot just let the elder brother and sister-in-law work.
Li Long rode his bicycle to Laomahao, carried two sacks of Cynomorium Cynomorium on his back, and then went to the county medicinal company. After selling the items he was familiar with, he returned to the team and pulled two sacks before selling them.
When I came back after dark, there were still five sacks of Cynomorium left in the warehouse.
Sell the rest tomorrow.
Uncle Luo asked Li Long with a smile:
"I heard that a girl came here from my hometown to find you?"
"Have you heard about it? Li Long said angrily, "Uncle Luo, this matter spread so fast, you already know it."
"Is that true?"
"Half true and half false." Li Long didn't want to say more, "My father and mother took people back to my hometown. My mother made a joke, and they took it seriously."< br>
Uncle Luo saw that Li Long didn't want to say more, so he stopped talking about this topic. Li Long saw that the wild boars were growing very fast. Although they were not as big as the domestic pigs in Li's yard, they each weighed 40 kilograms and were considered adult wild boars.
But it was so noisy that the brick walls were peeling off. They kept screaming and couldn't save any fat.
It seems that wild boars are not raised now. Meat without fat cannot be sold.
But since they have been raised, they have to be raised at least until winter before they can be sold.
The roe deer’s legs are not completely healed and it is considered to be permanently disabled. It's just that it's a little longer now and is eating grass.
Li Long thought that if he had a chance to catch another live one, he would bring it back directly and give it a companion or something. Thinking about how much money those two deer sold for, they were much more valuable than wild boars or something like that.
In the early spring of next year, I will have to wander around the mountains more to see if I can meet the little deer again.
As he was thinking about it, Tao Daqiang came over.
"Brother Long, are you going to shut down the Internet today?"
"It's going to be shut down today." Li Long waved his hand, "I'm not energetic. I'll clean up the Cynomorium in this warehouse tomorrow. There shouldn't be anyone digging now. Songyang is gone, I’ll sell out the rest and wait until tomorrow afternoon to put it online.”
“Okay. Just have an exact time.”
"Daqiang, can you go down the net and sell fish yourself?" Li Long asked Tao Daqiang, "I went to sell fish with my old man a few days ago. Do you have experience?"
"No, I'm not as good as Uncle Li." Tao Daqiang waved his hand, "Uncle Li can handle those people coming to sell fish, but I can't."
Li Long didn't understand what it meant that he couldn't cope with it, but since Tao Daqiang wasn't happy, he wouldn't force it. He changed the subject:
"Daqiang, are the crops in your field about to be harvested soon?"
"It's almost time, the oil sunflower has turned yellow. Work a little longer. It will take time." Tao Daqiang is still very clear about the work at home, "wait for the remaining corn."
There are only two people in the Tao family, and four acres of land is not much. Sunflower or corn can be harvested in one day.
Li Long originally thought about taking a carriage to sell the remaining Cynomorium cynomorium the next day, but later he thought about riding a bicycle. He was used to riding bicycles, so he couldn't stand the speed of the carriage.
Because he had to carry things, he couldn't take the two children with him, so Li Long deliberately postponed the time until the two children were about to arrive at school before he set off.
On this day, I sold out the remaining Cynomorium cynomorium, and earned almost 1,000 yuan in two days. After excluding the cost, I made almost 400 yuan.
Small hair.
Originally, Li Long had not thought about what to do, but those people came to his house that day to watch the fun. Li Long understood that most of these people had pink eye, so he planned to buy a TV set.
I ran to the department store and found that it was out of stock. He inquired about it and found out that TV sets cost a lot of industrial votes.
Li Long didn't want to go to Li Xiangqian to ask for tickets again. He asked for tickets too many times, so he went to the Cultural Palace Club to find the ticket seller, but he couldn't find one.
Let’s stop for a moment.
Li Long rode his bicycle back to the team with some disappointment.
Catch fish first to make money.
When he came back, he happened to catch up with the students after school. Li Long found Li Juan and Li Qiang who were halfway there. He asked Li Juan to sit in the back, and Li Qiang sat on the big bar. Under the envious eyes of all the students, he pedaled home.
When he returned, Li Long was surprised to find that a road was being built in the area where Weigou was built, and the people building the road were a group of soldiers.
Li Long guessed it was an engineering soldier - he vaguely recalled a past event from this era.
It seems that there was an engineering team repairing something to the east of the production team at that time. A small team stayed in the team for a while. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Later, as time passed, he stopped going there. memory.
As for whether the road was built or not, I have no idea.
Looking at the current structure, it is not only necessary to build roads, but also to build bridges - this is a good thing. With respect for these people, Li Long crossed Weigou and returned home.
After putting down Li Juan and Li Qiang, Li Long and Tao Daqiang, who had been waiting for a long time, went to lower the net together. With one less person following me, I felt a little lonely.
"Isn't it time for Uncle Li to get home soon?" Tao Daqiang suddenly asked.
"It shouldn't have arrived yet, at least three or four days." Li Long said, "It would be good to arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." He thought of the planes and express trains he took to travel to Koului in later generations, and how fast they were. ..., wait slowly, one day it will come.
There is a lot less water in Xiaohaizi. Now that the wheat has been harvested, sunflower and corn do not need watering, so there is less water here. You have to wait for a while, when winter wheat is sown, the water in it will be full, and then you can water it again.
Thinking of this, Li Long thought of another thing. Something big may happen in Dahaizi in early winter, so you must pay attention then.
He secretly reminded himself to pay attention to this matter, and then prepared to get off the net.
Tao Daqiang also took off his shirt. Li Long was a little confused and asked:
"Daqiang, what are you doing?"
"I swam over and took it off. , this basin can hold a lot of fish.”
That's right, loach is quite popular in the market now.
In the distance, Meng Zhiqiang and the others were very happy when they heard that the old man of the Li family had returned to his hometown. The market in the county is only so big. The Li family goes there early to sell dozens of kilograms of fish, and the rest of the people who want to buy fish will not have many customers if they buy their fish. Their fish sales are slower.
Now that the old man of the Li family is away, and Li Long doesn't like the county market, it will be easier to sell this fish.
On Saturday afternoon, Gu Xiaoxia rode her bicycle back as usual, carrying the things she bought for her father.
While passing through the countryside and preparing to turn east, she unexpectedly saw a person, Wu Shufen.
What surprised Gu Xiaoxia was that Wu Shufen seemed to have a bigger belly.
Wearing floral clothes, she stood under the shade of a tree and looked at the people coming and going. She was obviously a little excited when she spotted Gu Xiaoxia.
"Xiaoxia?"
Gu Xiaoxia got out of the car and pushed her to Wu Shufen.
"Shufen, why are you standing here? The wind is quite strong. Why aren't you at home?"
"I have nothing to do, so just hang out outside." Wu Shufen touched her belly and said with a smile:
"You come back once a week now, right? Do you know that something big happened in the team!"
< br>"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaoxia heard Wu Shufen's slightly gloating tone and understood what she was talking about. What's wrong, "Did you say that someone came from your hometown to look for Li Long?"
"You know?" Wu Shufen was shocked, "How did you know?"
"Of course it is. Li Long told me." Gu Xiaoxia said with a smile, "He didn't hide it from me."
"How dare he say it? He's not afraid of your anger?"
"What's the point of being angry? It's not his fault." Gu Xiaoxia pushed the car forward to prevent the sun from shining on her, " The person has been sent back, that is It's just a misunderstanding."
"You are so generous." Wu Shufen didn't expect Gu Xiaoxia to downplay the matter so much. "It's just a pity for that girl."
"What's so pitiful about that?" Gu Xiaoxia has figured it out now, "She has never seen Li Long. She dares to run here with just one sentence, so decisive. What's so pitiful about this?" It's not like ancient times. It can be determined by just one sentence. Lifelong? Now in the new society, if you love freely, your parents’ words don’t count. You have to fall in love with it yourself.”
Wu Shufen was choked. She originally wanted to see a joke, but almost got stuffed in her mouth. Dog food.
"So how is your relationship now?" Wu Shufen was still a little unwilling to give up, "You haven't met anyone better in the city? After all, Li Long doesn't have a job."
"He has a job." Gu Xiaoxia said with a smile, "He has been supplying and selling He has a social status, but I just don’t want to be restricted, so I didn’t say anything. We have a good relationship. Thank you very much for that! If you hadn’t let me go, I really wouldn’t have seen the good in him——”
< br>Wu Shufen almost choked to death with these words.
Gu Xiaoxia had already heard that Wu Shufen was giving her eye drops. How could she let her succeed?
"How was your life after you got married?" Gu Xiaoxia asked Wu Shufen.
"My husband and mother-in-law are very nice to me." Wu Shufen said with a smile, "I'm not allowed to do any work. I just sit around and idle all day long..."
"Shufen, Shufen!"< br>
A woman’s voice came from the yard over there :
"Shufen, Shufen! Where did you go? I didn't wash this bowl or wash my clothes, so I just know how to be lazy..."
Hearing this shout, Gu Xiaoxia almost almost She couldn't hold back her smile and said hurriedly:
"Someone is looking for you at home, I'm leaving."
Along the way, thinking about Li Long cooking for herself from time to time, and thinking about Wu Shufen's current situation, Gu Xiaoxia was really lucky, but fortunately Wu Shufen I let go, but fortunately I didn't retreat.
On the fifth day after Li Qingxia returned, he sent back a telegram. The content of the telegram was very simple. In about ten words, it said that the person had arrived home safely and the matter had been resolved.
Looking at the telegraph newspaper, Li Jianguo sighed and said:
"I originally planned to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival and celebrate the Reunion Festival. Now it's good, we are divided into two sides again."< br>
"Then we have to be prepared. When the winter wheat is planted after the autumn harvest in my hometown, some relatives may come and kill them." Li Long interjected, "When mom and dad go back, we must not be too careful. . Then the Du girl might also spread the word about our family's situation. If her relatives know about it, why don't they come? "
"There's nothing we can do if we come." Sighing, "I When I came the second time, my elder brother (cousin) in the town commune paid for half of it. At that time, people stopped me along the way. If the elder brother wanted to go out, I couldn't get out, and you couldn't come later either. If relatives come, they should help. "
"Yes, that's true." Li Long occasionally heard Li Jianguo say that at that time, the provinces were very strict about people leaving the province. Letters of introduction are usually not given.
But in my hometown, it was a bit difficult to eat enough in those days. Fortunately, my eldest brother came out and took root here, and I had a place to stay when I came back.
Later, this place became like a transit station, helping to support each and every relative.
At the beginning, Li Long thought he couldn't cause this trouble. But now that he thinks about it, he can come as soon as he comes. It's just a matter of using more chopsticks and opening his mouth more.
If you have a Laoma number, then the place to live is no problem. I have money in my hands and food in my barn, so I can definitely take care of food.
Li Long found that his mentality had changed without even realizing it. Probably because you have money, resources, and confidence.
I feel relieved knowing that my father and mother are back home safely. Li Long caught and sold fish every day for the next period of time, and ate with Gu Xiaoxia in the big yard at noon. Gu Xiaoxia talked about what she said when she met Wu Shufen, and Li Long smiled and said nothing.
Not being envied by others is mediocrity - I guess now, in the eyes of others, I am not considered an ordinary person, right? (End of chapter)
