Although Li Long knew that he had changed the fate of many people in the village, started earning extra money early and affected many people, he still had a limited understanding of his influence on the people in the village.
In fact, the families of Yang Yongqiang and Tao Daqiang are not willing to follow Li Long to try growing melons, but some people are willing.
Look at what Li Long has done since he came back from Wucheng last year. Which one of them made a mistake? Something went wrong?
Catch fish and sell fish to make money. If others are caught, he is fine.
He went into the mountains to get wood. Others almost got lost when they went into the mountains. He pulled back the wood and the sheep.
Not only that, but he also brought wild boar, deer and roe deer seeds from hunting in the mountains, all of which are more valuable than pigs!
Not to mention the work of weaving handles, tying brooms, and making reed handles was brought to the village, allowing every household to earn a lot of money. At least this New Year, each family’s children will buy a new piece of clothing. No problem. There is no problem for those who are diligent and capable to make clothes for the adults in the family.
Playing with Li Long, Xiaoxia from the Gu family became a state cadre, Tao Daqiang’s run-down family could afford a donkey cart, and even married a wife. Although Yang Yongqiang followed late, he had already spoken I will buy a bicycle for my sister next year.
It is said that Li Long also has several identities. He is a non-staff employee of the county supply and marketing cooperative and earns a salary.
Some people also say that Li Long could have been a formal worker, but he didn't want to do it, so he didn't.
Not many people believe this. After all, there are still fools these days who don’t want to work like city dwellers?
But everyone knew that Li Long bought a big yard in the city.
Gu Ermao went against Li Long and was sent to the fence.
Originally, some people speculated that Li Long was fired from the sugar factory in Wucheng because he made a principled mistake. Now some people have begun to speculate that Li Long felt uncomfortable working in the factory and made the mistake deliberately. He made a mistake and was fired.
Otherwise, given his ability and level, what mistakes could he make that would result in him being expelled?
In the past year, Li Long's way of dealing with others has been much better than that of many people in their thirties and forties!
This is not the feeling of one or two people, it is the same feeling of many seniors in the team.
On the matter of treating Lao Luotou, many old people gave a thumbs up.
Li Long doesn’t know these things. If he wanted to know, he would definitely think of the famous saying on the Internet in his previous life:
“No need to explain, as long as your strength improves, you will have a great scholar. Defeat me!”
The father and son of the Zhao family went to Shicheng twice to sell fish and then stopped going. It was too hard. He didn't have a horse-drawn carriage at home, so he could only pull a plow, and the sledge couldn't hold much. It would indeed cost a few more bucks for one trip, but the time spent on the round trip was not as good as in Ma County.
However, Old Zhaotou has decided to buy a donkey and a donkey cart after he saves enough money this winter, and he will become a car owner in the team.
Those who are not very good at dealing with Li Long, on the contrary, are very concerned about what Li Long is going to do.
When Zhao Laoshi was fishing, he was thinking, should he try growing something called melon in spring?
Go to the seed company and ask if there are any seeds. If so, plant some.
If Li Long dares to plant it, there must be a place where it can be sold. This thing should be able to make money. Otherwise, why would Li Long plant it? Is it fun?
That’s impossible!
After chatting with the three Liang brothers for a while, Li Long walked back to Tao Daqiang and the others.
He saw Tao Daqiang slamming a silver carp onto the ice. The silver carp weighed about two kilograms and was full of energy. It was still jumping vigorously when it landed on the ice.
He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the fish's gills, shook it in his hand, and threw it into the bag.
Although it is not silver carp, the fish soup made by silver carp is also very fresh.
It is said that a certain famous figure (female) in a special period liked to eat silver carp because its flesh was fine.
"Not bad, Daqiang, this net is good." Li Long said with a smile.
“Brother Long, look at my net, it’s not bad!” Yang Yongqiang also gained something here. He took out the net and buckled it on the ice. There were three or four big ones under the net. There is also a five-striped crucian carp. Although it is not big, it weighs 700 to 800 grams. They look very energetic. They are shaking their tails vigorously on the ice. If they were not caught in a net, they would definitely jump very high.
"Yes, yes, these fish make a plate, very delicious!" Li Long went over and caught these fish in the net.
The three people took turns copying for more than two hours and got less than ten kilograms of fish, the largest of which was the silver carp that Tao Daqiang picked up.
“Brother Long, you can take the fish back later. We’ll come back after lunch. I think there will be more fish by then. There will be hot spots on the ice at noon. The fish should be more active," Yang Yongqiang said.
"Okay."
Li Long went to his elder brother with the fish bag. It's closer here.
Liang Yuemei made soup rice, which is noodle soup, and made a big pot. When Li Long arrived, Liang Yuemei had a long noodle slice on her arm and was pulling it into the pot. She looked at Li Long. She came in and said with a smile:
"Wash up and get ready to eat."
Li Long entered the room and saw Li Juan and Li Qiang doing homework, and said with a smile:
"Qiangqiang, why are you so good today and you didn't go out to play?"
As soon as Li Qiang saw his uncle coming, he immediately complained to him:
"Uncle, my sister won't let me play!" He was quite aggrieved.
"You didn't finish your homework yesterday. You lied to me and said you had done it and you ran out to play!" Li Juan hated iron and steel. "If I hadn't checked today, I would have let you get away with it!"
< br>Li Qiang lowered his head.
Li Long smiled heartlessly, this is bloodline suppression!
The soup rice made by Liang Yuemei and Yang Xiulan tastes different. Although the soup rice made by Yang Xiulan is closer to the taste here, it uses less tomato sauce and not much oil, and it feels a bit like stewed noodles.
The soup rice made by Liang Yuemei is definitely the taste of Northern Xinjiang. The soup is topped with a layer of tomato sauce. It has a lot of oil and is a bit spicy, but not too much. It has diced potatoes and carrots. Overcooked. Li Jianguo has a bad stomach, so the noodles in this soup are very thin and very tasty.
There is also a bowl of salty leeks dripping with sesame oil on the table. When Liang Yuemei pickled the salted leeks, she put a few chili peppers in them, chopped them together and put them in a bowl. Now she picks some and puts them into the soup and rice, and mixes them together. The taste is really delicious.
Li Long ate two large bowls and felt sweaty. He put the bowl down. He felt that he didn't want to move for a while.
"Uncle, do you want to eat or not? If so, I will serve it for you!" Li Qiang looked on and said.
"If you don't want to eat it, I don't dare to let you serve it." Li Long smiled, "That bowl can be hot."
"I'm not afraid of being hot. Uncle, you can stay for a while. Xiao Haizi? Take me with you?”
"Have you finished your homework?" Li Long asked.
“Well, it’s not finished yet.”
“Then you can’t go, you can go after you finish your work. Finish your homework early tomorrow, we’ve been catching them every day these days, I'll take you there when you finish your work tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay." Li Qiang was a little disappointed, but Li Long would not change his decision. Regardless of whether he has been born in two lifetimes or not, he knows that learning is the first priority for children. Li Qiang got into a good school in his last life, and he hopes to get into a better university in this life.
Li Long rested for a while, and the voices of Tao Daqiang and Yang Yongqiang came from outside.
Li Long didn't expect that these two ate very quickly. Maybe they made lunch early at home, went back to eat directly, and came over right after they finished.
The three of them went to Xiaohaizi together. When they arrived at Xiaohaizi, Li Long saw that the Liang family was there. The second and third sons were each digging a hole, but the boss was not there.
This family is also very hardworking.
There were already several fish on the ice next to them, and two more looked quite big. Li Long just glanced at them and walked forward.
"Ouch!" Suddenly, a shout came from the two Liang brothers. Li Long glanced at it out of habit, and then realized that the second oldest brother of the Liang family was missing!
Li Long was startled. He saw that the third son of the Liang family was still fishing there. He didn't pay attention to his second brother, so he dropped the things and ran back while shouting:
"Lao Liang, your brother dropped it." He's in a hole in the ice! "Hurry and catch him!"
He had already walked thirty or forty meters, and if it wasn't for his amazing hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear Liang Laoer's voice.
Tao Daqiang and Yang Yongqiang didn't hear anything. When Li Long threw away his things and yelled, they reacted, threw away his things and ran over.
Liang Laosan was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Long's time. When he came to his senses, he turned to look at his second brother and found that he was indeed gone. Then he screamed, threw away the net, and went to Jumping on the ice, he was so nervous that he almost slipped down the ice hole!
At this time, Li Long had already rushed to the ice cave. What he was most afraid of was that he couldn't see anyone. If you can't see it, it's doomed. In such a cold weather, it will be difficult for Liang Laoer to find the opening of the ice hole after falling under the ice. Although it may only be two or three meters away, there is no air under the ice. If you are suffocated in the water, half a meter may suffocate someone to death!
Li Long remembered that one year in a famous windy area in northern Xinjiang, tourists from the mainland suddenly encountered heavy snowstorms. A carload of people passed through the windy area and headed back. Halfway through, we couldn't see the road. There was a problem with the car when it got off the roadbed and it couldn't start. We were afraid of freezing to death in the car, so the five of us got out of the car to find a way.
In that kind of windy and snowy weather, the visibility was less than five meters, and all five people were killed in the end. In fact, they are not far from the checkpoints, the nearest one is less than 100 meters away.
When Li Long came to the ice cave, he saw Liang Laoer's hat. The hat was floating on the water. There was something moving below, but it seemed to be sinking.
Without thinking, Li Long pounced on it, leaned half of his body down and grabbed it into the water.
He grabbed a handful of hair from the edge of his hat, and his hanging heart suddenly relaxed. As long as people are here!
However, Li Long felt uncomfortable at this time. He jumped too hastily, and most of his body reached into the ice hole. If he couldn't control himself well, he would fall down.
At this time, one of his hands was supporting the ice wall, just holding Liang Laoer's hair firmly, without exerting any force, for fear of dragging himself down.
At this time, Tao Daqiang, who had already run over, grabbed Li Long's leg and pulled him back. He didn't care whether Li Long pulled Liang Laoer or not. At this time, Li Long's life was the most important. !
"Slow down, slow down, Daqiang!" Li Long felt the movement and knew that the person pulling him was Tao Daqiang. This was the brother who could give his back to him. He said hurriedly, "Take another step and pull Liang Laoer's scalp." It’s gone!”
At this time, Liang Laoer’s head had been pulled out of the water. He was coughing hard, his face was livid with cold, and he was shivering all over. He was obviously frozen.
Yang Yongqiang saw that Tao Daqiang could hold Li Long by himself. He immediately went to the edge of the ice cave and pulled Liang Lao Er's exposed shoulders. Liang Lao San also helped, and they worked together to pull Li Long. Liang Laoer was dragged up.
"Quick, light the fire!" Li Long quickly ordered after Tao Daqiang let go:
"Third brother, take off your second brother's clothes, take off your wet clothes, and put your Put your coat around him!”
At this time, the wet clothes on Liang Laoer's body will take away a lot of heat from his body. It is best to take off and change clothes, but there is no way at the moment. The three of them can only contribute their own coats.
Fortunately, you don’t need to wear a coat when fishing. Only when the sun goes down does the wind pick up on the ice, so you must put on your coat when walking back.
While Liang Laosan was undressing his brother, Tao Daqiang and Yang Yongqiang had already obtained a large armful of Mao Wei Zi, and Li Long lit a fire with a lighter.
Liang Laoer spit out some water. He didn't drink too much water. Li Long discovered it too soon. The main damage to Liang Laoer now is the cold.
When the fire started, Liang Laoer had already taken off his coat. Li Longrang also took off his cotton-padded coat and wrapped it in his coat.
"Da Qiang, Yong Qiang, you and Lao San take turns carrying Liang Lao Er back. Go back quickly and cover yourself in bed for a day." Li Long took a moment to relax when he saw Liang Lao Er wrapped in his coat. Mao Weizi's fire burned up for a while but then died out. He made a decision immediately, "I'll wait for you to come back before copying the fish. The second brother must go back quickly, otherwise the root of the disease may be traced."
"Okay!" Tao Daqiang Yang Yongqiang said nothing. At this time, Liang Laosan was about to cry. After all, the young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old usually had the boss and the second child make the decision. It was normal for him to have no idea when encountering such a thing.
With Tao Daqiang and Yang Yongqiang taking turns carrying him, Liang Laoer should be fine.
Li Long is looking at something here.
Tao Daqiang first carried Liang Laoer on his back and ran towards the village like the wind. At this time, we can see the physical benefits of Tao Daqiang, a big man. He was running ahead with someone on his back, and Liang Laosan and Yang Yongqiang could barely keep up.
Tao Daqiang should have known that the matter was urgent, and he used all his strength.
Li Long nodded, even if he keeps up, that's it.
He gathered the Liang family's things together and did not take them to the ice hole on his side. He believed that Mr. Liang and Mr. Liang would come over later.
There was another reason why he didn't follow him. When he picked up Liang Laoer just now, his body was also weak.
He was afraid.
It was his initiative to lead the villagers to fish, so there was definitely danger, but he didn't expect that people would fall into a hole in the ice.
The moment Liang Laoer fell, he was really scared. The second son of the Liang family was alive and well in the last life, and he still remembered that Li Qiang was rescued by Li Qiang when he was playing in the canal and got flooded.
I have never heard of Liang Laoer falling into an ice hole in winter.
Then Liang Laoer's bad luck this time is most likely because he changed history. He was really scared and a little regretful.
This kind of thing is inevitable, but people will always blame themselves for things sometimes.
Li Long returned to his ice cave and calmed down.
Actually, I can’t blame myself, but the incident happened because of me. I reacted quickly at that time, which is worthy of the second son of the Liang family.
He picked up the net, went down to the hole in the ice and started to fish out.
With the incident involving the second oldest child in the Liang family, he became cautious. In fact, something like this almost happened when we were fishing last year, so when they made the hole in the ice, Li Long and the others made two special places for their feet to stand on, which was very stable.
Li Long thought that if other fishermen came over later, he would have to remind him to prevent anyone from falling in again.
To Li Long's surprise, he caught a big carp on the first net, weighing more than three kilograms. It was quite big, but it was not particularly active, and its flopping was not very powerful.
Another catch was a five-striped black fish weighing more than a kilogram, plus four or five crucian carp.
There are several nets connected, and there are fish in each net, and one of the two or three nets has a big fish.
That’s weird!
Li Long stopped thinking about that and caught a dozen nets here. When the last few nets were small fish, he went up to the ice, picked up the fish, and went to another ice hole. Catch fish.
At this time, the father and son of the Zhao family had arrived. Zhao Laoshi did not go to his ice cave, but came directly to Li Long.
"Xiaolong, did Liang Laoer fall into the ice cave just now?" Zhao Laoshi's face didn't look good.
"Well, I probably didn't step on it properly."
"You said you saved it?"
"I just listened, and we saved it together." Li Long didn't expect that Zhao Laoshi would even find out this when he passed by.
"Oh, that child is very cold. You have done a great thing." Zhao honestly said.
Li Long was a little surprised. It seemed that he was overthinking it.
Just now he was thinking that if Zhao Laoshi ran to the Liang family's ice cave to steal fish, he would have to shout to stop him.
Now it seems that when it comes to matters of human life, Zhao Laoshi, who is smart, can also have big rights and wrongs.
“You should be careful for a while.” Li Long kindly reminded, “The ice surface is slippery. Look, we dug a hole on the side of the ice hole. It’s just right for your feet. You guys should try it too. .”
"Okay." Zhao Laoshi nodded, "You should be careful here alone. If you need anything, call us." After that, he turned back.
Li Long was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Zhao Laoshi to say such a thing.
It can only be said that human nature is too complicated.
Nothing is black and white. People have advantages and disadvantages, and good habits also have bad problems.
This is the norm.
Hey, when did you become a philosopher? Li Long shook his head and continued to copy.
More than half an hour later, Mr. Liang, Tao Daqiang and Yang Yongqiang appeared on the ice.
"Xiaolong, it's all thanks to you this time!" When Boss Liang arrived at the ice cave, Li Long had already come up. Hearing what Boss Liang said, Li Long hurriedly waved his hand:
" Everyone will do this, including you and me."
< br>"That's different. I heard the third child say that he didn't hear the second child's voice. If you hadn't discovered it, our second child would have been gone by now." Boss Liang was very excited, "How do you say you are? Saved our second child’s life.”(End of Chapter)
