Li Anguo and his party of four got off the train and carried their luggage out of the station in cooperation with each other. They looked around, feeling a little confused.
At this time, Wucheng South Station did not have as many high-rise buildings as in later generations. The square was large, but there were not many people, and the surrounding buildings were basically bungalows or short buildings.
"Can this place make money?" Chen Xingbang glanced at it and was very disappointed.
"Uncle, let's stop looking now and quickly find a place to warm up. The wind here is so strong that we will turn into frozen meat in a short while!" Li Long's nephew Li Junfeng was covering his hands there. Said, "I regret it now. I spent so much time at home." Comfortable..."
"Let's go, dad said, there is a Bayi Guest House on the right side of the station, and there is a bus to Ma County in that courtyard. Since we are here, don't give up, let's talk about Xiaofeng, Do you have money for a ticket back? ”
This was said by Li Anguo.
Although he felt a little disappointed, it was not the time to think about such things right now.
"That's not true." Li Junfeng sneered, "Isn't this just a sign of coming over here and earning some money with my second uncle so that I can go back later."
Chen Xingbang wanted to say something. Nothing was said in the end. Four people came out. He and Li Anguo were considered the elders. When he spoke, he not only had to give out ideas, but also needed to contribute money and effort. He was tight-lipped, so he couldn't say anything.
At this time Chen Xingbang was also a little dissatisfied. It was him who came up with the idea to come to Northern Xinjiang to make money, and he was also the one who connected the people. But in the end, father-in-law Li Qingxia called Li Anguo over alone to give them instructions when they were determined to come, and they must have stuffed money into them later.
Why not stuff some money for yourself too? Li Qingxia has a lot of money in his pocket!
Is it just because he is the son-in-law? But his own child is also his Li Qingxia’s grandson!
Of course, I can only think about this, not say it out loud. When it comes to northern Xinjiang, it's dark. If you want to make money, you have to point at Li Jianguo brothers.
Arrived in front of the Bayi Guest House, Li Anguo saw the snack bar and felt confident. He smiled and said:
"Dad said, the noodles in this shop are good, let's go , I’ll take everyone to eat some noodles, and then go in and buy tickets. We said in the telegram that we will arrive today, so my eldest brother, Xiaolong, and the others may be waiting in the county.”
The snack bar is not big. After the bus arrived, many people came here to take the bus and have a hot meal here.
After all, the food on the train was all the dry food he brought with him, such as steamed buns, steamed cakes, etc., with some pickles, and the only food he drank was hot water from the prepared canned bottles. As a result, Chen Xingbang was a little confused due to his lack of experience. I was nervous, and there were so many people on the train collecting water, so I drank the bottle.
I drink water with Li Junshan - Li Junshan is another cousin of Li Long.
The four of them ate four bowls of noodles and each drank a bowl of noodle soup. Li Anguo generously gave him a dollar, waited for the other party to find two cents, and then left the shop with his luggage. Go buy a ticket.
Li Anguo also paid for the ticket - it was already agreed on the train that he would pay for the ticket and would pay it back to him when others made money. After all, after buying the train tickets, everyone basically spent all their money.
This is considered a gamble.
When the car drove out of Wucheng, several people were not too surprised. They were also surprised that there were trees and farmland along the way. After all, the train entered the mountains after passing Baoji, and when it came out again, there was a On the way there were Gobi, desert, and barren shoals, and only a few cities were encountered. Even when we arrived at Wucheng, it was already early winter, so everything we saw was gray.
In their impression, northern Xinjiang should be like Gansu, with deserts and Gobi everywhere. So now I am very curious when I see the oasis, the large farmland and the occasional tractors still plowing in the farmland.
"Second uncle, do you think this land is so big? Isn't it divided? There are only a few clues..." Li Junfeng talked more, asking curious questions.
Li Anguo has never been here before, so he doesn’t know what to say about Li Junfeng’s words.
"There are only a few people, and that field belongs to the public." A local next to him explained with a smile. They had seen a lot of people coming from the mainland, so it was not surprising. "Each household is allocated a lot of land." , There are dozens of acres, so there is no need to bother with the trouble.”
“That’s a real landlord!” Li Junfeng sighed.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Chen Xingbang hurriedly added, “There are no landlords at this time!” As he said this, he smiled at the people next to him.
"What's the matter? Speaking of which, this land has been distributed to each family. Aren't they the landlords? They are more powerful than the previous landlords." The local didn't care and said with a smile, "Now They all use tractors. How could the previous landowners have this ability? "
There were locals talking next to them, and several of them slowly began to understand. They knew that along the Tianshan Mountains in northern Xinjiang, there are many oases and many farmlands are newly developed and formed by melted glaciers. Watered by rivers, the land here is still gradually being developed.
"Actually, it's not bad to farm here..." Li Junshan said suddenly.
Compared to his cousin, Li Junshan is more honest and responsible. He didn’t originally want to venture out, so he just farmed at home. It's just that his parents insist on letting him out. After all, the family only has a few acres of land, and the remaining people can fully cultivate it. His parents also made it clear to him that if they don't have money to marry him a wife, if they want to marry a wife, they should earn money themselves, otherwise they can just wait.
Although Li Junshan has no partner yet, he knows that if he wants to marry a wife, get a bride price, and buy a house for his family, he needs money. Then come out, maybe you can earn some money?
Arrived at the Ma County bus station, the four people came down with their luggage and looked at the environment, which was smaller than Wucheng. After being stunned for a while, they followed the people out of the station.
"Anguo, Xingbang, come this way!" Suddenly someone shouted. Li Anguo looked over at the sound. His elder brother Li Jianguo was watching them not far from the door. He had already walked this way when he shouted. .
Not far behind him, a young man was holding a carriage and looking here with a smile. Isn't this his younger brother Li Long?
The four of them suddenly felt confident.
Especially Li Anguo. Although he talked very much at the Wucheng Railway Station at that time and said that someone would pick him up when he arrived in Ma County, after all, the four of him came over without discussing it with Li Jianguo. It was equivalent to directly sending the message. received a notification.
The four young men went there to find ways to make money, and they should have discussed it carefully. Chen Xingbang's idea was to be discussed carefully. There is a high probability that the other party would not agree to it, so let's decide first and then tell him. Just tell him that he bought the train ticket and let him know when he will come.
Li Anguo really agreed. On the train, he felt anxious and regretful. He shouldn't have been so hasty.
When he got out of the car, he was thinking, if his eldest brother was unhappy and didn't come to pick him up, how could he find him?
Although I asked the old man over and over again at home, it is a strange place after all, and I heard it is quite chaotic...
Now that I see Li Jianguo, I feel relieved.
"Have you eaten yet? Come, put your things on the carriage, let's go, have a hot meal first, and then go home." Li Jianguo was not unhappy at all. After so many days, his ideological construction has been After you've done it, you've come, you can't just drive people away with a cold face.
Besides, there are brothers among them, a cousin who has not been to the third server, and a brother-in-law, so he has to take care of him.
After Li Long looked at the four people, his impressions from the previous life basically matched.
Li Anguo and Li Jianguo are about the same height, almost 1.7 meters tall, a little thinner - of course because the family has good food in the past six months, and Li Jianguo has gained a lot of weight.
Li Anguo has a Chinese character face, he looks quite loyal, and he is also loyal. I also came here in my previous life, and later brought my family here. At that time, Li Jianguo got the news that Shicheng Construction Company was recruiting people, so he sent him in, and then Li Anguo and his family became city residents.
Chen Xingbang was from the second group in his previous life. He was a little fat and had a smile on his face. After he came here, he didn’t like the work of farming. He borrowed Li Jianguo’s money from the Li family’s donkey cart. I ran around and collected a donkey cart of beer bottles and the like, and went to Wucheng to sell them. I saved my first start-up capital, and started a small business, and later made a fortune.
Everyone in his hometown knew that he was good at doing business. No one knew that he made this trip and completely destroyed Li Jianguo's donkey cart. The donkey was half disabled due to fatigue. Fortunately, the Li family bought a tractor within two years. Since they were all relatives, it was not easy to mention it.
As for Li Junfeng, this cousin who is two years older than Li Long is already married. He has a daughter at home. She is the tallest among the four. She is 1.745 meters tall. She is quite strong and eloquent. Just like the shorter Li Junshan, the two of them came here for a tour in their last life and returned home after less than two months. The two of them knew some skills as masons, and the luggage they came to carry was larger than the other two people. They contained tools for small and large workers, such as large shovels and so on.
Li Jianguo knew all four of them and greeted them one by one with a smile before introducing them to Li Long, mainly Chen Xingbang and his two cousins. Li Anguo's appearance hasn't changed much and he can be recognized. When Li Long came to Northern Xinjiang, his sister was not married yet, so she naturally did not know Chen Xingbang. As for the two cousins, they had met her when they were children, but they must have no impression of her now.
The four of them were a little surprised when they saw Li Long. Although the old man said that Li Long had many "glorious deeds", it still felt a bit inconsistent to see them waiting for them with the carriage right in front of them.
He greeted the four people to put their things on the carriage. Li Long led the carriage, and Li Jianguo followed behind with the four people, chatting as they walked.
Chen Xingbang said little and looked around, looking for possible business opportunities.
He feels that he is an outsider and will not always follow Li Jianguo. He also has a clear mind. If he wants to make money, he must find his own way.
Li Long led the carriage in front and led several people to the big meat canteen. After all, when relatives from my hometown come over, they must have a good first meal.
"Let's go home and eat. It will cost a lot to eat out." Li Anguo really thought this, "We are all our own people, don't mess with these people."
"That's right." Li Junshan also felt a bit grand, "We had noodles at the train station."
"That's different." Li Long said with a smile in front, "I haven't been back for many years to see my old family members. Now that I'm here, just listen to me. You guys have a good meal today, and for the rest, go back Let’s talk.”
Li Anguo looked at Li Long and then at Li Jianguo.
"Xiaolong said, then listen to him." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "Xiaolong has arranged food and accommodation in the village, you don't have to worry."
Hitch the carriage to At the shed next to the gate, everyone carried their bags and entered the big meat canteen. Li Long didn't ask the four people for their opinions and was ready to order.
Zhong Guoqiang saw Li Long bringing people in, smiled and came over to say hello:
"Comrade Xiao Li, what are you..."
"My relatives are coming from my hometown. I just got off the car and I have to have a good meal." Li Long said with a smile, "Manager Zhong, what good food do you have today? ?”
“A good dish?” Zhong Guoqiang knows that Li Long has Qian asked, "Is it still a specialty dish of our northern Xinjiang?"
The question was very knowledgeable. Li Long laughed when he heard it:
"I'm good at hard dishes, but "You have to hurry up." Li Long said, "I have to hurry up after eating."
"Okay, let me tell you, sauce elbow, spicy chicken, a big plate of mutton... is that enough?"
"And stir-fry two more vegetarian dishes."
"Now it's spicy scrambled eggs. , shredded potato. "
"Also."
"The staple food is..."
Li Long turned to look at Li Anguo and the others:
"Second brother, do you want noodles or rice?"
"Rice."
"Noodles!"
< br>“Steamed buns.”
Three of the four people answered, but Li Junshan said nothing.
"Okay, let's eat some." Li Long knew that these people had bigger appetites than ordinary people. Besides, I probably didn't eat well on the train these past few days, and he was also short of oil and water in his stomach. It's okay to eat more.
Listening to Li Long ordering dishes and meals here, and seeing how familiar he was with the hotel manager, several people had some ideas in mind.
This younger brother (brother-in-law) is not simple.
Zhong Guoqiang probably gave the order, so the food was served very quickly. Li Jianguo and Li Long didn't give in much, and Li Anguo and others had already opened their cheeks and started eating.
This is a delicious dish that you can’t even eat during the Chinese New Year! Now in my hometown, I might be able to cut two kilograms of meat during the Chinese New Year, which is used to make dumplings. At most, I roast the meat and fry it with some meat oil to get the meat flavor.
Maybe someone’s family is getting married and has a big banquet so that they can eat solid meat and vegetables. That means the family is in good condition.
So the current state of eating is not an exaggeration at all. Even Li Junshan, who is relatively honest and responsible, is not looking very good at this time.
Li Long and Li Jianguo looked at each other and smiled, neither saying anything. The two of them were not very hungry and had some food in their stomachs, so they ate slowly here.
After finishing the meal, Li Long found that Chen Xingbang had secretly unbuttoned his belt twice. He ate two bowls of rice and almost didn't stand up when he was about to leave.
"Let's take a carriage when we go back." Li Jianguo said, "It's a bit cold here. Let's calm down for a while. You'd better walk a little, otherwise it will be freezing just sitting in the car."
"Okay, okay." The four people held their bags and waited for Li Long to bring the carriage over before getting on the carriage with their bags.
It’s a little crowded up there.
Li Long was holding the hand in front, and Li Jianguo was following beside him. The ten kilometers or so was really nothing to him.
While chatting and walking along the way, Li Long gradually learned about the situation at home and how the old man was so good at home.
Now that you're here, work on it first. If you can do it, support it. If you can't do it, then either leave or find a way to make a fortune. Anyway, they had their own fate in the last life, so it would be no different in this life. (End of this chapter)
