Life does not always include a wife and children, but also hunting in the mountains to make a lot of money.
So although Li Long sighed a little, Gu Xiaoxia had to go to work and there was no point in staying alone, so he got out of bed.
The struggle last night made him feel that his last life was really in vain, and he did not experience such wonderful things.
Fortunately, good times will last. Gu Xiaoxia got up and washed herself and went to the kitchen to cook. Li Long was also busy feeding the deer, cleaning up the straw and feces in the glass house, and getting some water for them. Now the deer are used to staying in the glass house. Although they will come around and bark when they see Li Long coming, they are not so resistant to staying in it. They may also know that they will not be able to get out for a while, so they accept their fate.
Li Long was still soft-hearted and opened the door and let the three little guys out. This was to let them relax and then lock them up after the others left.
The three little guys screamed happily and ran to the front yard. One of them was very happy while running and pooping his balls all over the floor.
Li Long shook his head and cleaned up later.
Gu Xiaoxia was busy in the kitchen. When she heard the cries of the little guys, she stuck her head out, looked at Li Long behind and asked:
"Let it out?"
< br>"Well, let them out for some fun. These little guys are used to running around in the mountains. They must be bored in such a small room. Let them out and play for a while every morning and evening."
"Okay, I'll see what happens." Gu Xiaoxia smiled and continued working.
When Gu Xiaoxia made breakfast, Li Long also tidied up the yard, and then drove the little ones in. The yard is very big. Gu Xiaoxia goes out early every day and comes back late every day. At most, she can only clean it up on a large scale. Li Long simply cleans up every corner to make it clean and tidy, so that it looks like home.
Breakfast is a cornstarch batter with some beans added to it, making it soft and tender; there are pancakes, scrambled eggs with spicy skin, and pickles cut and fried. It was not uncommon for farmers in this era to eat pickles, and some could eat them until June. After all, salt is used for marinating a lot and cannot be wasted.
The pickles are fried in oil and taste very fragrant. The Li family is not short of oil. Because of the improvement in life caused by Li Long's "progress", no matter it is the Li family, the Gu family or the Tao Daqiang family, including the old Uncle Luo of Lao Ma, they are not stingy with cooking oil. You know, add more oil to make the food more fragrant.
The two chatted while eating, each talking about their experiences.
"You don't even know," Gu Xiaoxia complained as she ate, "I work alone, and Sister Liu in the office asked me to help her with this and that. When I said I was busy, she said that those who can do more work , saying that we young people are smart and know a lot, but she is old and slow to understand, so she asked me to take more responsibility. I have to work overtime every time after get off work.”
“You don’t call the capable person extra work, you call the fast cow whipping. Didn’t you report this situation to your boss?”
"If I have to let Bureau Wang deal with this little matter, what will Bureau Wang think of me?" Gu Xiaoxia also had concerns.
"Then do you want to do this?"
"No."
"That's easy." After two lifetimes, Li Long was very familiar with this kind of PUA in the workplace. He smiled and said:
"Next time she asks you to do anything, just pretend. If you can't hear it, you must not agree or open it. If you refuse, don't do it, don't talk to her so much, do your own work, and leave when you get off work. If you don't do the job in the end, the boss will definitely approve it, not you. If you said it was given to you, then you should say that you I didn't hear it. Otherwise, if you continue, you will definitely be the busiest person in your bureau, and others will become more and more idle."
"Yes, I am quite busy now. The day is over. I don't have any free time at night, so it would be better for them, one They were reading newspapers, drinking tea and chatting... I was so angry."
After complaining, Gu Xiaoxia asked worriedly:
"Won't I cause trouble? They are all veterans after all... …”
"You won't be entrusted with tasks that are too important for others, right? The ones that are entrusted to you should be relatively trivial, but a waste of time. This kind of thankless work is annoying to everyone, but it is not particularly important. , the leader won’t take it too seriously, so you don’t want to do this kind of work. It won't affect the overall situation, and not doing it will let others know that you are not easy to bully."
Gu Xiaoxia is not unsmart, but she has too little experience in the workplace, and she is seconded. Yeah, I feel like I'm one level below others.
But in fact, the establishment is already there, and her work ability is at that time, and the leadership must rely on her. If she gets caught up in these trivial things, she will definitely not be able to complete her job efficiently. Over time, It leaves a bad impression on the leader.
"Would that make my colleagues target me?" Gu Xiaoxia was still a little worried about affecting the relationship between colleagues.
“If you are worried, then make it clear at the beginning that you have too much work and don’t have time to complete their things. If they still do this, then you can use the method I told you. Set. In the workplace, good people cannot do anything. If you do, everyone will bully you. It’s the turn of spring and summer. Don’t we have some caladiums at home? Let’s share it with the leaders and colleagues in the unit. Those who know it should know that this is better for treating coughs, and it also helps to build relationships. You don’t have to ask others to take care of you, as long as others don’t make things worse. When working in the unit, you not only have to keep your head down while working, but also look up at the road. , report your thoughts to Director Wang frequently and talk about the recent situation. You can also talk about your troubles and solutions, which will be useful.”
"You're so awesome!" Gu Xiaoxia's eyes were filled with admiration as she listened to Li Long say this. Although many people felt that it was not worthwhile for a high-ranking state cadre to marry a non-staff employee, Gu Xiaoxia always remembered that without Li Long, she would not be a teacher, let alone enter the Education Bureau.
In Gu Xiaoxia's eyes, Li Long's ability and ability are very great. If he wanted to, he could definitely become a national cadre early, but Li Long didn't want to.
Just look at the solutions to these things just now. What Li Long said is exactly the same. How good!
So there is no question of whether two people are worthy or worthy. Gu Xiaoxia and Li Long have the same idea. Marriage between two people is a very happy thing in itself.
Of course, it would be better if Li Long could be at home every day.
"It depends on your actual situation during daily operations. Anyway, I believe in your ability," Li Long said while eating. "Sometimes it is good for you to be tougher."
Gu Xiaoxia Ruo has something to say Thinking about Li Long's words.
After dinner, Gu Xiaoxia went to work. Li Long made the bone-in meat that had not been processed last night into air-dried meat, spread it with salt and put it in the room to dry. The cut meat has been burned and sealed with oil, so it won't go bad for several months.
After finishing these, Li Long filled the tractor with oil, took water, some steamed buns and dried meat, and drove the tractor toward the mountains. The caladiums are not yet dry, and there is no rush to sell them now. Li Long guessed that the price of caladium will increase this year. After all, with the liberalization of the market, the demand for caladium will increase greatly both inside and outside Xinjiang. At present, there are no artificially cultivated caladiums in northern Xinjiang, so the price of wild caladiums is naturally high.
The tractor drove all the way into the mountains, and Li Long ran directly to Harimu.
Fortunately, Harimu hasn't moved out yet. The sound of the tractor made the dogs bark, and Harimu heard the sound and came out.
After saying hello, Harimu said:
"You came two days late, and we left. Everything has been packed."
"Just right. I still have something to ask you for help. I want to buy a dozen head from you. The sheep, either yours or those from Yushanjiang, will be fine.”
“From Yushanjiang, or from Buick and the others,” Harimu thought for a while and said, “I don’t have many lambs left to sell. There are too many pieces to sell. Are you in a hurry?”
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine. I'll wait at the wooden house. See if you can tell them. If anyone has one, rush there or tell me and I'll drive the sheep over."
"Okay, I'll drive the sheep to the wooden house for you then." Harimu said, "This will make it easier for you to transport them away."
After finishing the business, Li Long drank two bowls of milk tea. Leave and go back to the cabin.
What made Li Long a little puzzled was that there were three people and a horse in the wooden house. Among the three people, he recognized at a glance that the one beside the horse was Bolati. Among the two people, Sun Jiaqiang was sitting and lying down. , no, he was tied up, with something stuffed in his mouth, and he kept twisting there, like a maggot.
Hearing the sound of the tractor, both Polati and Sun Jiaqiang stood up and turned to look over.
Li Long drove the tractor to a stop in front of the wooden house, turned off the engine, and got down. Bolati pulled the horse's reins over there to prevent the horse from being frightened.
"What's going on?" Li Long looked at the man on the ground, and he recognized it. This was the man who was chased by the sow boar yesterday morning.
Bolati wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and then pointed at Sun Jiaqiang:
"Listen to him. When I came over, the two of them were fighting." Li Long looked at Sun Jiaqiang and found that his face was bruised, his clothes were torn, and there were some straw sticks stuck to his shoulders and back.
Sun Jiaqiang pointed to the man on the ground and said:
"I found traces of animals and came to report to you. I found that he was prying open the door of your house. I came up to stop him and he beat me. Look at me. Face..."
It turned out that Sun Jiaqiang ate roe deer roe meat at Li Long’s place the day before yesterday, and after taking some back, he felt that this was a good way, so he went back and searched nearby. He did not find any wild animals, but he found a ditch. There are quite a few caladiums peeking out. He dug up some caladiums and kept them. Then he got up early yesterday morning and wanted to look for wild animals again. Then he found traces of deer activity in a nearby ditch. He also saw a group of three or four deer running away from the other end. He found something gnawing in the ditch. There were traces of grass gnawing on the moss, so I wanted to come over and talk to Li Long.
But when I walked here, I found a lot of caladiums in a ditch, so I dug there for a day, thinking about digging out the caladiums and bringing them to Li Long's place to exchange for something. By the way, When the news came out, the deer was frightened for a while, and he didn't know if he could come over.
When I came here with my mother-of-pearl this morning, I saw the man prying open the window. He was probably planning to get in and steal something. Sun Jiaqiang hurried over to stop him, but he didn’t expect that the man was slightly thinner than him. , but he was better at fighting. Sun Jiaqiang was an honest kid at home, and he didn’t fight much. Then he was pushed down and beaten by the guy. If Bolat hadn’t brought him up, he would have been beaten to death. .
"I came over. I saw the two of them fighting, so I asked what was going on. As a result, the thief said that he was here to help. As soon as I saw him, he was not a good guy!"
Li Long probably knew what was going on. It must be that I got a wild boar yesterday and didn't share the meat with this man. This man repaid his kindness with a grudge. When he came over and saw that the tractor on his side was not there, he thought of stealing something when he knew that he was not there.
What the hell!
Li Long was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him hard, cursing:
"What the hell, I saved you and you came here to steal my things? You still Not a human?”
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and Li Long kicked the man several times. The man's mouth was blocked, and he was squeaking and twisting there. He couldn't make any sound, which was very painful to hear.
Li Long bent down and took off the smelly socks that blocked his mouth. The man coughed a few times, and then kept shouting for mercy, mercy, and never dare again.
How could Li Long believe him? He turned to Polati and said:
“What usually happens when you catch people digging for caladiums?”
“Usually, just collect the caladiums and leave them alone. If he is more disobedient, he will be arrested and taken to the forestry team. Then they will send him to the detention center. What do you want to do with this person? ”
As soon as I heard my legs interrupt, the man screamed in horror:
"Don't! Don't stop, I just fascinated for a while, thinking that you don’t give me meat. Just come and get - no, steal something. , I don’t dare to break my legs anymore!”
You must know that there are not only wild boars and roe deer in this mountain, but also wild animals such as wolves and bears. If your legs are broken, then He will definitely die in the woods.
Li Long thought for a while and said:
"Bolati, I'll leave that man to you. If you break his leg, it would be unlucky for him to die here, so why not send him to the detention center? Come on, he deserves it.”
"Okay, okay." Polati nodded, and then continued to speak. Li Long waved his hand, carried the man and threw him outside the east shed, then walked back and said to Polati and Sun Jiacheng:
"Come, let's talk in the room."
He was worried that this person would hear what they said and complain randomly to the detention center. It would not be good.
Entering the room, Li Long asked the two people to sit down and said:
"Okay, Polati, I think you are carrying the Fritillaria bag to change something, right? You can change whatever you want. Say.”
"Wine, of course, if you have other food, that's fine."
"I have wine, but I suggest you not to change so much wine. I see that you brought a lot of Fritillaria, nearly ten kilograms." Why don't you buy more tea, sugar cubes, rice noodles, etc. If you have someone at home, eat more good ones."
"Okay, okay." Polati listened to Li Long. Since the last time he exchanged so many drinks with Li Long, he felt that Li Long was a good person and worthy of making friends, and he should listen to his words.
“You’re not bad either,” Bolati pointed at Sun Jiaqiang and said:
“From now on, if you meet a ranger in the forest, just say you are Bolati. friends, they won’t embarrass you.”
"Okay, okay!" Sun Jiaqiang didn't know Li Long's identity, but since Bolati was from the forestry team, he was really surprised. The reward for helping people is a bit big this time!
"Bolati, you are carrying something later. Just tie it to the horse. Don't let that person find out. You tie his hands and pull him away on the horse. Don't let him know that you are here to change. When the people from your forestry team ask, just say that you are my friend and you found it when you came to see your friend, otherwise it would be wrong to let the leader of your forestry team know that you brought the fritillary in exchange for something. "< br>"I know, I know, I know."
"Sun Jiaqiang, the same goes for you. You can leave after Bolati leaves later. You can tell me what you want to change now. You can wait a while." You can bring it up later.”
“Okay, I’ll talk about it later. I still have something to tell you about the beast.” Sun Jiaqiang was very excited today, but he still had a dark face. It feels a little funny.
Satisfied, Polati exchanged rice, flour, tea leaves, sugar cubes and other items, as well as two bottles of wine and two small bottles of champagne. They were all placed in the bag, tied firmly and tied to the horse's back. Then he tied the man back up with the rope, got on his horse and dragged him away.
"Slow down, what if the horse kicks me? Slow down, I can't keep up..."
The man screamed in terror all the way, and his voice faded away. At this time, Sun Jiaqiang told Li Long what he had discovered.
“You mean, a family of deer was found there?”
“Yes, a big red deer, a medium-sized one, and a small red deer.” Sun Jiaqiang said, “I I can see clearly that the big red deer is so big, it feels like Bolati’s horse!”
Li Long was really moved. If you get a big red deer, you can sell the antlers, tendons, whip and so on, and you can also produce a lot of meat.
Sun Jiaqiang knew from Li Long's expression that he was interested, so he continued:
"The location is near the nest you told me about. I'll draw it for you. Also. Yes, it was very early in the morning when I saw them. Yesterday they were grazing on grass and moss in the ditch early in the morning. When I saw the marks, It’s not a short time, so I think it might be a place they often go to. But I was a little scared and I don’t know if they will go there again.” Look." Li Long has to wait for Harimu to find someone to deliver the sheep in the past two days, so he can't go directly and has to wait.
After hearing what Li Long said, Sun Jiaqiang said:
"Just wait, just wait. That group of deer was frightened by me. Maybe they won't go over in these two days, but they will go over in another two days."
After saying this, Sun Jiaqiang used The two kilograms of fritillaries dug yesterday were exchanged for chicken cakes and fruit candies. Li Long asked him to exchange them for some rice noodles. He waved and said he would come back later.
Li Long was also speechless. Are you here to make money or are you just playing in the mountains? If you have Fritillaria, just change it to something more useful. Why are you so greedy?
However, he had just done him a big favor and was injured again. Li Long couldn't say anything, so he gave Sun Jiaqiang some more things, and then watched him leave happily with a bruised face. .
Not bad, I have a good attitude.
Li Long just commented and then started to set up the stove. Since we can't go hunting anymore, let's wash and tidy up the caladiums collected today. Of course, you have to prepare the steamed buns first. He found that the people who came to exchange things had special thoughts about steamed buns.
Since this is the case, let’s steam more. (End of this chapter)
