Suningning and Tao Min left just after dark. At this time, "Wu Song" had only started half an episode.
"I can't watch it anymore. I'm worried that I won't want to go back. Color TV is much better than black and white TV. It's just like the real thing!" Su Ningning was still reluctant to leave when she left.
In fact, it was not only the color TV that made her reluctant to leave, but also Gu Xiaoxia's life. The food is delicious, with meat and eggs. My family may not be able to eat this kind of food once or twice a week, but looking at the expressions of Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia, this kind of food is considered commonplace.
Only two people can live in such a big yard, and I have to squeeze in with my family. Not to mention a color TV and a big bed.
It can’t be compared.
Although envious and unable to compare, Su Ningning was not jealous. When chatting, it could be heard that Li Long mainly made the money. Gu Xiaoxia spends her own money and does not need to hand it over at all. Thinking that she still had to pay for food, Suningning sighed.
There is really no comparison between people.
But she was really not jealous. When Gu Xiaoxia brought them here, she really just watched TV and didn’t show off. Her tone of voice was very normal. She didn’t have the “I’m nobler and richer than you” attitude like the elder sister at work. look.
It feels very comfortable.
After Gu Xiaoxia went to work the next day, she obviously felt that her two colleagues, Suningning and Tao Min, were much kinder to her, and she was actually quite happy. Although some people say that it is best not to make friends in the office, who doesn’t want to have a few colleagues with whom they have good relationships in the office?
Gu Xiaoxia went to work. After Li Long fed the roe deer, he drove the tractor out and went directly to the team.
Since we have decided to repair the yard for Harimu and the others, we cannot delay this matter.
After returning to the team, Li Long went to find Tao Daqiang first.
Tao Daqiang’s wife Yang Pingping was weaving baskets in the yard. She stood up when she heard the sound of the tractor. Li Long parked the tractor outside. When he saw Yang Pingping, he came down and asked her:
"Brother and sister, is Daqiang here? I have something to do with him."
"Da Qiang has gone to the fields. Our corn field is a little grassy, so he went to weed it." Yang Pingping walked to the door and said with a smile: "If you need anything, you can go to the fields to find him, or you can tell me. "
"I want to ask a few young people in the team to help me do a job," Li Long said honestly. They are a husband and wife, so we can't hide this. "My friend in the mountains has an old house in the animal husbandry team, and he needs to put up plaster and repair the walls. The men have all gone to the mountains, leaving only the old man and the children. Not good.”
< br>"That must be no problem." Yang Pingping heard this and said with a smile, "In the past, when Daqiang followed you into the mountains, he always took advantage of others. Daqiang told me. This time, my father-in-law took the lead. I made a lot of money, I'm a human being The people in Jiashan don’t care. It will definitely work. Should you go to the fields and talk to him, or wait for him to come back?” Otherwise, it won’t be finished in a day or two. "Li Long said, "I will go to your field before noon. Which field will you plant? Dongba or the field at the back?"
" Side.”
Li Long drove on the tractor and went to find Jia Weidong again.
I usually have little contact with Jia Weidong, but after this incident, Li Long felt that although this person didn't talk much, he was still quite reliable.
I met Xie Yundong halfway, pushing his bicycle back. Li Long stopped the tractor and said hello:
"Brother Yundong, why don't you ride?"
"Hey, aren't you still unskilled? I'm afraid that if you come over with the tractor, you will panic and ride." In the ditch. What are you doing?”
"I'm looking for Weidong, and I plan to ask a few people to help me plaster the house of my mountain friend who lives in the animal husbandry team."
"When?"
"Planning tomorrow."
"Then count me in "Xie Yundong said with a smile, "There is no work in the field now, just hoeing, one day at a time and one day at a time without delay."
Li Long asked Xie Yundong to take charge of the job, and he agreed. He gave Xie Yundong fifty yuan as a management fee. I gave 60 yuan when I checked out. I said the extra 10 yuan would be used to buy a schoolbag for my child. Xie Yundong was really careful in his management this time, and Li Long also saw it. With his strength, he can definitely create a few more leaders.
Since he was careful, Li Long naturally couldn't pretend to be blind.
After this back and forth, both of them got to know each other's temper, which was pretty good.
"Okay, I'll come and call you tomorrow." Li Long smiled and said, "Bring the masonry knife and other things with you."
"Okay. Wei Dong is at home, you go first Come on, let me practice again, this bicycle is not easy to learn."
Li Long went to Jia Weidong.
Jia Weidong was setting up a trellis for sword beans in the vegetable garden. After Li Long explained his purpose, he nodded.
Looking back, Li Long went to find the three brothers of the Liang family.
No problem, Mr. Liang said with a smile:
"Anyway, we can't catch any fish recently, and we don't want to go to Dahaizi. It would be nice to follow you out for a walk."
Three brothers, the third one looks after the house, and the eldest and second one go.
Add Li Long and six more people, that's enough.
Looking at the time, it was still early. Li Long drove the tractor to Tao Daqiang’s corn field. Tao Daqiang walked out of the field when he heard the sound of the tractor.
When he reached the end of the four-hundred-meter-long field, Li Long’s tractor had been waiting for several minutes.
"Brother Long, is something wrong?" Tao Daqiang wiped the sweat from his face, rubbed his nose and asked.
Bao rice was planted early and has grown to half a person's height. The edges of the leaves are very sharp. When weeding, red marks are easily pricked on the arms and neck, and the stings are burning and painful when sweating.
"I want to put some plaster on the house of Harimu and his herding team and mend the walls. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will call some young people in the team. Are you free to go?"
" Go." Tao Daqiang said immediately, "I'll go back and borrow the masonry knife that afternoon, right? By the way, who else?”
“Xie Yundong, Jia Weidong, Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang.”
“Okay.” Tao Daqiang nodded, “Oh, Jia Weidong. It’s almost okay.”
That’s it.
Li Long returned to the yard, said hello to his father and mother, and then drove back to the county.
The manpower problem has been solved, and then there is the problem of food.
Since he has gathered people, he cannot eat too simply. So Li Long thought this matter was easy to handle. He remembered that the last time he was delivering things to Harimu and his family at the forestry team, there were sheep herders there, so he planned to buy a sheep tomorrow and slaughtered the sheep directly in the yard and cooked it. Catch the meat.
For this matter, he planned to go to Adili, the vice-captain of the animal husbandry team who was left behind. It is better to find someone from an official perspective for this kind of matter. Firstly, it is easy to get things done, and secondly, by using this channel, the money is spent and people appreciate it.
After having dinner at Sister Yang’s place at noon, Li Long drove the tractor to the livestock team’s retention point.
After more than an hour's drive, Li Long went to school first.
Nathan and the others were already in class. Li Long asked several family members and found Adili.
Adili had actually heard the sound of the tractor, but he didn’t expect it to come looking for him. His yard was a little neater. When Li Long came over, he was packing a carpet in the yard.
"Hello, hello. Your name is Li Long, right?" Adili still remembered Li Long, which surprised Li Long.
“I came here to tell you that I will bring people over tomorrow to put plaster on the houses of Halimu and Yushanjiang’s families.”
"Okay, okay." Adili was naturally very happy, which is a good thing.
"I want to buy a sheep from you and kill it tomorrow. There are more of us." Li Long said, "Is that okay?"
"Sheep? How big do you want it to be?" Adi Li asked.
"A two-year-old sheep can be slaughtered with 20 kilograms of meat. How about it? Slaughter it for me and cook it directly in the yard of Harimu's house tomorrow." "There are sheep, at this price ..." Adili hesitated for a moment.
“You said.”
"Twenty-five yuan, how about it?"
"Okay." Li Long doesn't mind more or less, and the price is relatively cheap. "I also ask you to help me slaughter it. It would be best if I can cook it. If not, I’ll ask Harimu’s mother to cook it.”
“That’s no problem!”
Li Long took out two pieces worth ten yuan and one piece worth five yuan and handed them to Adili:
“I’ll give you the money first. We’ll give it to you tomorrow. We’ll be there in the morning. Can the sheep be brought here tomorrow morning?”
"No problem. If you are so straightforward, I won't let anything slip. Early tomorrow morning, I will lead someone to pull the sheep over and slaughter them at Harimu's house."
Adili is very straightforward, Li Long I feel relieved. He drove the tractor to Harimu's house. The old lady came out when she heard the noise and smiled when she saw Li Long.
Li Long got out of the car, and the old lady waved to him and wanted to take him in to drink milk tea. Li Long waved his hand, pointed at the roof, and then at the yard, gesturing to repair it tomorrow.
He didn’t know if the old lady could understand. After speaking, he pointed outside and said he wanted to leave.
When I went to Yushanjiang’s home, Yushanjiang’s wife could understand but was a little at a loss.
Li Long just told him that he had agreed with Yushanjiang before, and the matter was settled.
After everything was settled here, Li Long drove the tractor back to the county.
Eating mutton alone is definitely not enough, so Li Long went to the naan shop and ordered twenty large naans. Naan needs to be freshly baked to be delicious. He has already asked. This naan shop will open at dawn tomorrow morning. Many ethnic families nearby rely on this naan for breakfast.
He went to the department store and moved two boxes of small champagne. It would be convenient to drink water and boil a pot. But he had to find someone to help him. These young people would definitely not want the money, so he would have to take care of the food and drink. Not only is there something to drink, but there is also a bowl. He bought ten small enamel basins to prepare for tomorrow.
Everything was done, Li Long returned to the compound.
After breakfast the next day, Li Long drove the tractor to the team and picked up the people one by one. These people also brought tools such as trowels, shovels, and shovels. What surprised him was that Xu Dejun, who was working with Xie Yundong, was also there, and he wanted to go with him, so Li Long naturally agreed.
Seeing the little champagne in the bucket of the truck, everyone's mouths immediately opened up. What a high salary!
The tractor did not leave immediately, but went to the wheat field. Pulled half a cart of old wheat tails. If you want to mix it with mud, this is good. There are no such things at the animal husbandry team's retention point. If it dries out and mixes with the mud, the mud will easily crack.
Half a cart of wheat tails was pulled, and the young men sat in the cart with a layer of sacks on top, which was comfortable. Xie Yundong grabbed the seat on the page board first, chatting with Li Long while driving.
Tao Daqiang was a little unhappy. This position turned out to be his.
When the tractor arrived at the county, Li Long first bought naan bread, put it in a basket, and covered it with a layer of cloth.
The newly made naan is really tempting. Li Long also knew this and said loudly to several people while driving:
"If you are greedy, just eat it. Anyway, in the end It’s for everyone to eat.”
It’s good to have naan at noon. Others don’t know there are sheep. However, Tao Daqiang knew in his heart that if Li Long asked people to help him with work, he would definitely not treat them badly.
When they arrived at the yard of Halimu's house, Li Long found that Adili and another person were already there. The sheep has been slaughtered and the man is skinning it.
Harimu's mother looked on, a little at a loss.
When the tractor arrived, they all looked at Li Long and the others, and then smiled on their faces.
This is a sincere smile towards friends and juniors.
“Okay, let’s get down to work.” Li Long said with a smile, “Did you see, we’re going to have finger meat for lunch, let’s do a good job today.”
"Hey, what else is there to say?" Xu Dejun was surprised, but this time he was the first to speak, "If you know this treatment, why don't the people in the team rush to come?"
In fact, after learning about this, it was Xu Chengjun who asked him to come over, and he also told Xu Feihu. Xu Feihu thought about it and said he had something to do and would not come.
In fact, it was nothing, but Xu Dejun knew that Xu Feihu thought it was nothing good. Coming so directly in the eyes of other people in the team was equivalent to fawning over Li Long, which gave him a bad reputation.
Xu Dejun wondered whether he had a good reputation now? Li Long can work for everyone and make money, but those people can't flatter him even if they want to! Now that you have the chance, if you don’t go there yourself, are you still waiting for someone to come over and invite you? Don’t look at who Li Long is calling this time?
After I came here, I felt that Li Long’s treatment of others was really bad. The team is looking for someone to cook Fangni, and they can only cook two or three vegetables at most. If you want to cook more, there will be one meat dish and one fish, that's about it. What to do here? Just a sheep!
It’s so atmospheric.
Of course, the premise is that you have money. But are there any rich people on the team? Yes, I have. That man is not as grand as Li Long!
There is an empty space in the yard with nothing planted and it is left uncultivated. Li Long asked Adili to help ask the old lady, and finally decided to dig holes and mud outside the courtyard. There was a ditch nearby, and Li Long brought a few buckets with him when he came over. Xie Yundong and the others dug a hole here and unearthed the soil. He drove a tractor and took Tao Daqiang and Jia Weidong there to pull water.
For these young people, work such as putting mud on houses and repairing walls is really nothing. The house here is shorter than the house in Team 4, so it is easier to get on the mud. Those chipped holes on the wall are also easy to repair.
The work here is very lively, and the people who are left behind by the animal husbandry team are very curious and come to watch. Li Long and the others didn't care. They basically didn't understand it anyway. They mainly worked.
After the sheep were slaughtered over there, Adili came over to ask Li Long.
Li Longrang took out some meat and put it in the old lady's house, and then cooked the rest. There was no room for the pot in the house, so Xie Yundong and the others built a simple stove outside, placed the pot on it, and put water to cook the meat.
I don’t know when, Yushanjiang’s wife also came over to help, cutting vegetables and meat. Li Long saw it and guessed that she was planning to stir-fry at noon.
Li Long greeted her and continued working. Work is the most important at this time.
Li Long didn't notice that a young Kazakh girl was writing something with a pen and paper. After writing, she was still mumbling. After everything was done, she went to find Adili and asked there for a while. .
Adili looked at Li Long and quietly told the matter.
Li Long didn't notice this, but Xu Dejun noticed it and quietly told Li Long.
Li Long looked at the girl who had left, then at Hadili, waved his hand and said:
"I guess he is writing news, don't worry about it. Let's do our thing. "It's best if you can finish it today. If you can't finish it, come back tomorrow. Try to get it done tomorrow, and we won't care about it later."
Adili came over and told Li Long that the girl was indeed a part-time worker in the team. Broadcaster, I really wanted to write a press release just now.
Knowing what was going on, Li Long put it aside. The mud itself needs to be put away after it is mixed, but everyone has experience and the construction period needs to be short, so the mud should be made harder and can be used quickly after mixing. The house is small, less than half the size of Li Jianguo's house, and not that high, so it is quite easy for these young people to get into the house.
They took a cantuman, took out a piece of mud, and with a hard force, they could throw the mud directly to the roof!
If you were in a team and had to use a basket to hoist mud to the roof, the difference would be huge.
No one is watching now, but a few people are still doing it in full swing.
Li Long and the others didn't notice that after the girl went back, she found a camera from somewhere and took several pictures in succession from different angles.
Because she knew that Li Long was the organizer of this event, the girl mainly took pictures of Li Long. Then he was discovered by Li Long.
Li Long was neither shy nor secretive. He wore a mud belt on his face, took off his coat and wore a vest to pick up the mud, grinning. The old lady was standing nearby with a towel in her hand. She originally wanted to wipe a few people's faces, but no one cared. She was a little anxious.
The photo is frozen.
The girl is very satisfied.
We worked until noon. Everyone was tired. The mutton in the pot on the stove was already stewed. Nathan and the others had also returned. Several children were active among the young people, laughing and joking.
Children at this time really like to have guests at home, for various reasons. Anyway, Nathan and Susken are not afraid of mud. They are very happy to follow Li Long and others to help.
"Wash your hands and eat. Each person has a piece of naan and eats it." Li Long washed his hands, clenched them dry on the basin and shouted, "Each person will get a piece of bone, and we can come and get the bowl ourselves. Drink the mutton soup and the small bowl." Champagne, it’s up to you. But don’t waste it. Take as much as you can.”
Xie Yundong and the others went to wash their hands. Just wash the muddy spots on your hands and it's fine. You don't need to pay so much attention to the ones on your face and arms. Just rub them after drying. After working hard all morning, I was exhausted. I had been thinking about this meat for a long time, but finally I could eat it! (End of this chapter)
