Gu Boyuan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I'm not going. I've been quite busy these days. I just bought a truckload of fertilizer and hundreds of kilograms of seeds in the past two days. These things We have to take stock, and it is very likely that it will be sold within a few days. Let’s wait and see.”
Li Long didn’t expect that his father-in-law was still a career-oriented man, so he didn’t force it. After chatting for a few more words, we left the agricultural supplies store and returned to the compound.
Looking at Li Long’s back, Gu Boyuan actually felt quite complicated.
After Gu Xiaoxia got married, Gu Boyuan actually thought that he would live the rest of his life peacefully in Team Four.
But he didn't expect that Li Long would directly build an agricultural supplies store for him. At first, Gu Boyuan thought it was just to look after the family property for his son-in-law.
Unexpectedly, he thought it was quite interesting. At least it's more interesting than farming, and less tiring.
When you are free, you can read a book, and you don’t need to think about whether the fields need to be watered, whether it’s time to weed again, or when it’s time to harvest.
This is a good job. In the future, slowly, I will also become someone who eats commercial food.
It’s a good thing.
Although Gu Boyuan has been a farmer for many years, he has never considered himself a farmer in his subconscious. He came here just to escape from the world and find a place to settle down.
I didn’t expect that the day would come when I would change my identity again.
When Gu Boyuan started running an agricultural supplies store, he had a game mentality. But after working for a while, he discovered that opening a store and being the boss is not that simple.
It is not easy to do it well.
As someone who has gone to college, if he really wants to run a good store, he will naturally do better than ordinary people if he pays more attention to it.
With the results, Gu Boyuan became more concerned. The most troublesome lunch issue now is solved by Li Long. He really runs the store without any distractions.
The store made a lot of profits during this period. He didn’t tell his daughter and son-in-law for the time being, thinking of taking the time to scare them!
Of course, Li Long didn't say anything about driving a jeep to go hunting, otherwise he would have shocked Gu Boyuan.
Of course, if Gu Boyuan finds out tomorrow, he will definitely be shocked. Fortunately, Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia had made an agreement. No matter who they told, they all said that this was the car obtained by the state society for Li Long to do things.
After Li Long came out of the agricultural supplies store, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Li Xiangqian was reading the newspaper and listening to the radio in the office. When he saw Li Long come in, he smiled and pointed to the chair opposite.
Li Xiangqian’s office is not small. He uses a desk. There are chairs on the opposite wall. There is a three-person wooden sofa near the door. On the other side of the door, there is a wooden cabinet on the wall. document.
Li Long poured the water himself and asked as he drank:
“Chief, you shouldn’t be busy until the Chinese New Year, right?”
"Originally I wasn't busy, but as soon as Director Qian said something yesterday, I had to be busy again."
"You mean... about my driver's license?" Li Long asked immediately.
"Yes. Director Qian returned to the state yesterday afternoon and called to ask about your situation. The director and I both said good things." Li Xiangqian had no intention of hiding this matter, he said:< br>
"Although Director Qian agreed You give me the car, but you have to check it out anyway. After all, the car is just there as a sign. If people see the car, they will guess that it is a high official. It is easy to do bad things with the car. "
Li Longshen thought so.
If he really had bad intentions, he would definitely be able to deceive those people by going to the countryside with his work permit and driving a jeep. Not to mention cheating on other things, just in the name of purchasing, you can definitely cheat a batch of agricultural products.
Of course, he didn't have this intention.
"The director and I have said a lot of good things to you. Director Qian also knows that the big jobs you have done in the past two years have been very good, so he is quite satisfied with you." Li Xiangqian said with a smile:
< br>"How about it? Do you want to be transferred to Zhoushe?"
"No, that's definitely not possible." Li Long replied immediately.
"Really?" Li Xiangqian still didn't believe it. After all, people were going to higher places. Director Qian's call at that time was partly because he wanted to transfer Li Long to the state club.
"Captain, you know me. I have been able to make money in the past two years because, firstly, I have the director who supports me and is willing to give me big jobs, and secondly, because I have some foundation in the county. Whether it is in the mountains or in the mountains, I can find people to complete these tasks in the countryside."
Li Long said sincerely:
"If I really want to go to the state, what will Director Qian possibly support me? For a while, but if I can't achieve results, will he always support me? ? Definitely not. And I’m going to the state. What can I do without those foundations?”
“Xiao Li, you see clearly.” By the way, I have already contacted the person who issued the license.
They said that if you are really good at driving, then we will take the photo directly for you. If you are proficient, then practice for a while.
I originally wanted to learn how to repair cars, but I said there was no need and pushed it for you. You didn’t have time to learn, right? "
"It's definitely not available. "Li Long thought that his wife is pregnant with a child, so how can he have time to study?
Besides, he has been busy for a year, and it is better to take a rest in this winter.
I made an appointment with Li Xiangqian to go During the convoy time, Li Long left the supply and marketing cooperative.
People in other departments in the company saw him coming and going freely. Some were envious, others were jealous, and some were talking behind his back.
"Okay, if you can get welfare sheep for our whole society, then you can come and go as you please." People who couldn't stand the small talk immediately came out to complain:
"I ate what others gave me." Free meat, stop saying that He has the ability and does a lot of work, which brings us glory. If it affects unity, it’s better not to say anything.”
Those who were watching the excitement stopped talking. The mutton is so delicious.
Li Long went to the free market again and saw Sister Yang selling porridge. He waved his hand to say hello, then went to have a look, and finally decided to buy a basket of eggs and two roosters.
He planned to go back and steam an egg custard for Gu Xiaoxia. Sister Yang had never done this before and probably wouldn't be able to do it. Gu Xiaoxia hasn't eaten it either, so she should think it's delicious, right? (Code later, I’ll steam one first)
After buying the things, Li Long went back to the big yard and steamed a big bowl of it before Sister Yang came back.
He learned this mask thing from someone online during his previous life. During that time, he really had to learn how to make everything. It was also simple, so he could basically learn it in one go. .
After making the egg custard, Sister Yang also came back. Li Long put the big bowl containing the egg custard on the dining table and said to Sister Yang:
"Sister Yang, This bowl is the egg custard I made. Let’s eat it for lunch later.”
“Okay, uncle, have you made a new dish?” Sister Yang said with a smile.
Li Long cooks fresh rice or vegetables from time to time, and Sister Yang is no longer surprised.
After lunch, Li Long drove the jeep to the highway outside the county and started to get familiar with the car. Since the team said they want to test their driving skills, they should practice hard.
Even if you can't drive a big car, you can drive a small car very smoothly.
When I showed it to Director Qian earlier, he only remembered it roughly. After all, manual transmission cars at that time were different from Jeeps today.
It can be used, but if you want to be proficient, you really need to practice hard.
On this afternoon and the next day, Li Long was practicing driving. On the morning of the third day, Li Long drove the jeep and pulled Li Qianqian to the team at the agreed time.
The car drove steadily into the yard of the motorcade.
There is a truck being repaired or maintained in the yard of the team. Some garage doors are open and some are closed. Some cars have been driven away, and some are still in the garage.
A tall man about thirty years old saw the jeep, wiped the oil on his hands and came over.
When Li Long and Li Qianqian got out of the car, he smiled and said:
"Old Li, when you came here, I thought the leader was here. Just this young man? I think the car drives very steadily. Where did you learn this?"
Li Xiangqian pretended to be dissatisfied and said:< br>
"What? I'm not the leader anymore? Ma Chunlei, you are the captain and you don't look at others?"
"Go, go, I'm joking with you, let me ask this young man. "Ma Chunlei was not angry and said with a smile.
“I used to work in Wucheng, where I trained with the team’s master.” Li Long still made up his words.
Li Xiangqian also asked, and he said the same thing.
"Not bad, just drive this car, right? I see that your driving here is good, so I won't look at it. Come on, open the lid and let me see if you know where it is?" OK Li Long knew the car's condition quite well, and he still knew about the engine, fan and so on. After briefly talking about it, Ma Chunlei nodded and said:
"Okay, it looks like he has some experience. Okay, come here tomorrow to get the photo." This matter is After it was decided, he asked Li Xiangqian:
"Lao Li, are you busy lately? If not, give me a call over there in the state. Our team will send a car there in the past two days. We want to bring something back to share with everyone. It's the end of the year. , we also need to get some benefits.”
"Okay, no problem. Call me before you go." Li responded, and then left in the jeep driven by Li Long.
On the way, Li Long asked with some worry:
“Chief, are you a favor for this photo? How can I repay it?”
"Are you talking about what he asked you to call just now?" Li Xiangqian heard Li Long's words and knew that he had made a mistake. After meeting, he said with a smile:
"No, no. Captain Ma often does this. We have a good relationship. If the supply and marketing cooperative is too busy to pull things, we will come to them. And they want to buy something cheap, our society The wholesale price brought back will also be given to them.
This time when they went to the state, they naturally wanted to buy something at wholesale prices from the state community. To be honest, the price of Zhoushe is cheaper than ours, and they are just along the way. ”
Li Long nodded and said he understood.
Supplies are relatively scarce these days. Being able to buy things is a skill, and being able to buy cheap things is a big skill.
< br>Relationships depend on relationships, and favors depend on favors. It’s normal.
Li Long went alone the next day and gave Ma Chunlei a yellow leg of lamb when he was taking the photo. Captain Ma did not refuse, but asked him to be careful when he was happy and to pay attention to safety if there was something wrong with the car. Yes, you can also come to their fleet to have it repaired.
Now that he had the car, the photos, and the procedures, Li Long planned to take his family hunting the next day.
I told Gu Xiaoxia about this that night, but Gu Xiaoxia was still not interested.
Gu Boyuan already knew that Li Long borrowed a jeep, and he just told Li Long to be careful and pay attention to safety when driving. After all, firstly, this thing is expensive, and secondly, it is much faster than a tractor, so it is easy to cause accidents.
After dinner the next morning, Li Long loaded the three guns into the car and drove to the team.
Jeeps are indeed much faster than tractors. Although there is no heating, at least there is a canopy so there is no need to blow the air.
Within ten minutes, the jeep drove up to the team, and everyone who saw it when they went out noticed it.
Fortunately, in the middle of winter, not many people were still outside at this time. The jeep was driving fast, and few people noticed that the car had arrived at Li's house.
When the jeep entered the yard, it startled Liang Yuemei who was breaking charcoal in the coal shed. This car is really rare!
In other words, I have almost never seen it in the village!
The children could shout with excitement when they saw a truck, let alone this jeep?
When Li Long's tractor passed by on the road, the children would catch up with him for a while.
After all, there are too few mechanical gadgets like this.
When Li Long got off the jeep, Liang Yuemei was almost stunned.
She was stunned for a moment before asking:
"Xiaolong, did you drive this back?"
"Yes." Li Long said with a smile, "The leader of the supply and marketing cooperative asked me to use it before going to work. I had nothing to do in the past two days, so I drove it back and used it. I happened to take my father and my elder brother to fight against pornography. Sheep."
As he was talking, Li Qingxia and Li Jianguo also came out, followed by Du Chunfang.
Seeing the jeep in the yard and then looking at Li Long, the whole family was a little panicked.
Li Long called everyone back to the room and explained slowly.
“You are saying that the leaders of the state assigned the car to you to work on, and you can drive the car during this period?”
"Yes." Li Long took out the procedures and showed them to his eldest brother and father. He knew that if he couldn't explain clearly, the matter would not be settled.
Of course, he will explain to his eldest brother alone later that it is actually the opportunity gained from the tiger skin.
After seeing the procedures, my family finally believed it.
"I brought three guns. Let's leave now. Go early and come back early. This car is much more convenient to drive than a tractor." Li Long continued, "Brother, have you borrowed a gun? ?”
“I borrowed it. Cheng Jun said that you are in the basic militia establishment, so just go over and sign it when you have time.” Li Jianguo stood up and took out the gun from under the bed.
"Okay, I don't have anything to do today. Let's get dressed and go. Maybe we'll be back in time for lunch."
"Okay, okay." Li Qingxia was extremely excited, Li Jianguo There was also an expression of excitement on his face.
Du Chunfang looked at her promising young son with a smile, feeling sincerely happy.
Li Longyuan thought about asking his sister-in-law to go with him, but Liang Yuemei hesitated and finally shook her head.
With so many things in the house and pigs, my mother-in-law is worried about being alone.
There is no way, the woman in charge of the house is the most worried.
The jeep drove out of the Li family yard. Before many people could react, it left the fourth team with the snow powder and quickly arrived at the county.
The jeep did not stop here and continued westward, passing Shicheng, passing Shawan, and reaching no man's land.
Both Li Qingxia and Li Jianguo had never sat in a jeep that was reserved for high-ranking officials. They were a little nervous from the moment they got on the bus. Later, after passing Shicheng, they relaxed a little and looked at the scenery on both sides.
"Hey, this car is really fast!" Li Qingxia said, "It has traveled so far in a moment..."
"If we run this far, we will reach Kuitun where the second brother and the others are staying." Li Long said while driving.
“Can I go see him?” Li Qingxia asked.
"Let's forget it, right?" Li Long didn't say anything, but Li Jianguo said, "I don't know how many people will be disturbed if I drive this car over... There aren't many of these cars in the county, right?"< br>
"There are probably less than five in the county." Li Long said.
"That's it. Let's drive out to hunt. I just thought something was wrong, but let's forget it. If we drive to Kuitun again, then..." Li Jianguo was still more cautious.
"Yes, yes, don't go." Li Qingxia immediately backed down.
In his opinion, the leader trusted Li Long and gave the car to Li Long to use for work. It was already wrong for Li Long to bring his family here for hunting. If he went to Kuitun again, if something happened and someone sued him, he would be in big trouble.
"Dad, brother, look to the south. There is a group of yellow sheep on the red willow beach over there!" Li Long said to the two of them.
There were seven or eight yellow animals in this group. They were more than a hundred meters away. Li Long did not stop and just let two people look at them.
“Aren’t you going to come down and fight?” Li Qingxia couldn’t help but ask.
"It's too far. Let's walk around and see if there's anything closer." Li Long said, "In the first two times we hit, the ones we encountered were only forty or fifty meters away from this road. It was easy to aim and hit. It’s easy to fight.”
When the jeep was approaching Anjihai, it encountered a large herd. This group of yellow sheep had migrated from the north and had crossed the road to look for food in the mountains to the south.
Only when they got to the roadside, they found some grass left by passing cars, and some yellow sheep stopped to graze. It was not until the jeep appeared that they had to leave the road and run south.
But those yellow sheep that ate grass were reluctant to part with the grass on the roadside. They ran a few dozen meters and then stopped. It seemed that they were waiting for the jeep to pass by and then planned to come back to eat grass.
Li Long parked the jeep on the roadside only forty meters away from Huangyang.
"Be quiet when we come down," Li Long whispered. "They may still run, but they won't be able to run far. Dad, my eldest brother and I will shoot first. You can take aim with the sand gun at will." Just fight if you can't."
"Let's shoot together," Li Jianguo said, taking care of his father's face. "If we fight, the sheep will run away. It's even harder to shoot the sand gun."
"Yes, yes." Li Long knew that he didn't think well and said hurriedly, "Then let's count one, two, three, and let's shoot together. Load bullets. "
Li Long planned to use the rifle to hit the yellow sheep this time. After ensuring a harvest, he would use the sand gun next time and let his father use the rifle.
Hunting, if you don’t catch anything, you won’t feel good about it. (End of chapter)
