"Ah——!"
With a scream, Talihar sat up suddenly from the wooden bed.
He looked around in panic. It was dark. He put his hand on the five-six-and-a-half rifle, and then relaxed a little.
Had another nightmare.
In the dream, he once again saw the bear's head, which felt bigger than a pot. It bit him with its big mouth. The bear's mouth was still spitting out stench, and its yellow teeth were pointed. It felt like it could be eaten all at once. Bite your own head through!
During this period, he had nightmares from time to time. In order not to affect his family's rest, he moved to the room at the end of the winter nest.
Sleeping alone with a rifle next to you will make you feel more at ease.
Talihar blushed for his timidity, but to be honest, when he saw the big bear, he was really confused. If the big bear hadn't been chasing those wolves in a hurry, and if he hadn't had a gun in his hand, he might have been dead by now.
After Talihar encountered the big bear, he no longer wanted to be a hunter. Only then did he realize that he really didn't have the talent to be a hunter.
I heard that when Li Long encountered a bear sleeping in a cave, he could lure the bear out and beat it to death. What about him? It was clear that the bear was right in front of him, but he didn't even have the courage to shoot.
Of course he didn't know that the bear Li Long encountered might not be half as heavy as the one he encountered.
This bear was really too big. When he stood up, Talihar felt that he was only half as big as the bear, and his own body was not as thick as its thigh.
When you open that big mouth, it feels like you can swallow your head right away!
Talihar calmed down, stood up and put on his clothes, then thought about it and picked up the gun again.
The faint skylight outside reflected the snow, and I could see clearly around me.
He went to find a place behind the winter nest to put water, looked around to see if there was any danger, and then walked back quickly. When I walked back in, I walked backwards.
After returning to the house, he locked the door and put away the gun. When he lay down again, Talihar sighed, not knowing when he would stop having this nightmare.
He actually wanted to chat with Li Long during the day, but Li Long was always busy and grandma kept asking him to do this and that, so he didn't take the time.
I don’t know if I will feel better the next time I see Li Long.
Li Long came out of the mountains and drove the tractor to the woodwork factory first. This time, the factory directors He Changming and Qi Xinzhi were both there. Li Long talked about ordering a batch of furniture. He Changming saw that the quantity was not large, but he was very happy.
I think this is a long-term business and can be done.
After settling this matter, Li Long returned to the courtyard.
Originally, he planned to rest for a few more days. The time I told the company commander and farm machinery operator earlier was mid-March. Anyway, even if they brought the harvester back now, they would just leave it unused after they bought it.
Why be in such a hurry.
Naturally, Li Long didn't know that once the company here finished its meeting and started working in the spring, there wouldn't be much time left. At that time, tractors were either working in the fields or being repaired and maintained in the repair shop.
So they only felt at ease by pulling things back before work started, and now they actually knew that many companies knew the role of the harvester.
In fact, the Corps has Comine, but usually only one or a few units are available in a regiment field or a farm. It will take time to wait for Comine's turn to harvest the wheat.
They didn't want to wait. The company's most indispensable shortage at this time was manpower, so the commanders of each company thought that their agricultural machinery operators would be able to drive tractors and harvesters to cut wheat, and then they would have manpower to bundle and thresh the fields.
Li Long was so annoyed that he planned to go to Kuitun as soon as possible.
Before going to Kuitun, Li Long went to the supply and marketing cooperative again. He wanted to solve a major issue.
"You mean settling down? In the county?" Li Xiangqian frowned as he listened to Li Long's question.
"It's not easy to settle in the county." Li Xiangqian thought for a while, then shook his head and said:
"You need a receiving unit to settle down, which is equivalent to eating commercial grain. How can it be so easy? If it is really easy to settle down, how many people from rural areas will have to run to the city?"
Li Long naturally knew that settling in was not easy, so he came to see Li Xiangqian to see if there was any solution.
"Isn't it okay to register an empty account?" Li Long was a little reluctant and asked again, "Actually, I just want an identity."
Sister Yang and Han Fang definitely don't want to go back to their hometowns. Since they have chosen to return to the county instead of staying at Hongqi Farm, Li Long feels that he has the responsibility to help solve the settlement problem.
The issue of identity is a big one. After all, Sister Yang has no status and can support her family by selling food in the market. But Han Fang has no status and can go to elementary school. What about middle school? What about taking the entrance examination for technical secondary school or high school for college later?
Procrastination is not the answer.
"In the county, where are the commercial grain household registrations? They are all a carrot and a pit. If there are any, they should not be targeted and have been reported long ago."
Li Long sighed, it seemed that it was really difficult to deal with.
"When you talk about being idle, do you mean you don't need any treatment?" Li Xiangqian took a sip of tea and suddenly thought of an idea. He tilted his head and spat out the tea leaves, and then asked, "Just an identity?"
"Yes." Li Long nodded.
"Then why do you have to have a county household registration? You can also get a village household registration."
"Which village?" Li Long immediately became energetic, "A village will definitely work. No land is required, just a household registration, as long as it can be registered - but it is best to be around the county."
"How about Nanyuanzi Village?" Li Xiangqian smiled, "It's just south of the county, next to it. I know the village director there, and we trained together. I'll look for him and he should be able to help you. How many people are missing?"
"Two people, Nan Yuanzi, that's great!" Li Long smiled.
Nanyuanzi Village is about two to three hundred meters south of Wuyi Highway. That is, the yard where Sister Yang and the others lived before was less than 200 meters south. To the south of those courtyards, there are no buildings anymore, just land.
However, there is not much land in Nanyuanzi Village. After all, it is close to the county seat. In another twenty or thirty years, all the land in the entire village will be acquired. After compensation is given to the villagers, the land will be built into various major institutions and residences in the county. Neighborhoods, schools, and parks.
"If you want to make sure you don't want anything, then I'll ask." Li Xiangqian said, "You still have to pay some money for this matter. The village director is fine, but this matter must be approved by the village representatives. Those representatives have something to say. There are also those who are difficult to deal with, and you have to pay some blood to pass the level.”
"No problem, just spend some money, as long as you can get things done. Chief, how much do you think it will cost?"
"For two people, two hundred yuan should be enough." Li Xiangqian made an estimate. In fact, he didn't know much, but he just felt that this matter should not be difficult.
Li Long immediately took out the money.
"You are really rich, you just carry these two hundred yuan with you?" Li Xiangqian was a little surprised, "Aren't you afraid of losing it?"
"Hey!"
Carrying two hundred yuan with you at this time is equivalent to carrying twenty or thirty thousand yuan with you in future generations, which is really not appropriate.
"Then you listen to me." Li Xiangqian took the money and said, "Is this not urgent?"
"No hurry, no hurry." Li Long waved his hand, "As long as it can be done."
"Okay, I'll take the time to go over and ask some questions first."
The matter is settled.
Li Xiangqian didn't think it was a big deal, but Li Long was half relieved.
The chief's energy can still be strong.
This matter was not told to Sister Yang in advance, but to Gu Xiaoxia first.
However, Gu Xiaoxia suggested that Li Long tell Sister Yang to avoid trouble if Sister Yang was unwilling.
Li Long thought it was right, so he mentioned the matter at breakfast the next day.
Sister Yang heard that she could settle here, and she looked grateful:
"Hey, she, Uncle Li, I was thinking that from now on, the black households will be black households, and I don't care about the land, the food, etc. It's just that Xiaofang is more troublesome... Now that I can settle down, it's too late to be happy, how could I not be willing?"
The matter was settled like that.
Li Long didn't mention money either. Sister Yang helps with cooking here every day and doesn't ask for money, and Li Long can't even ask for money.
In the next two days, Li Long tidied up the work in the yard, and then told Gu Xiaoxia that he planned to go to Kuitun.
Although he desperately wanted to drive the jeep there, and even though it was not that cold now, in order to pull the harvesters back, Li Long could only drive the tractor there.
Li Long felt his butt hurt when he thought about driving the tractor for so long. But there is no way.
This morning, after eating and packing, Li Long drove the tractor and headed west.
Naturally, I still carry the gun. If I encounter another yellow sheep on the way or have better luck and encounter an antelope, I can shoot one or two and take it to Kuitun as a gift.
Unfortunately, as we drove all the way, the snow was still thick in the no-man's land, but we didn't see a single animal.
I don't know if their transition is over, or because it's not a good day to pass by, so they don't give Li Long face.
In the meantime, we had a meal of noodles at a roadside restaurant, and then continued driving until we arrived at Kuitun in the middle of the afternoon.
Li Long thought that even if he pulled up the harvester, he would have to spend the night in Kuitun, so he went to the construction and installation company to see his second brother.
I ran into a store on the way and bought some sugar, wine, sesame cakes and noodles, as well as canned food to take with me.
I didn't tell my elder brother when I returned to Kuitun. I thought that if he knew about it, I would ask him to bring some food over.
Li Long himself brought a bag of rice and a bag of noodles, which was enough for them to eat for a while.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
When we arrived at the yard rented by Li Anguo, we unexpectedly saw Xue Ping and Xue Qin outside. The two children had only met Li Long some time ago, so they naturally recognized them. He stopped playing and ran into the yard shouting. When he came out, he was with Li Anguo and Chen Lirong.
Li Anguo smiled and waved to Li Long. Li Long parked the tractor to the edge of the yard, turned off the engine and got off.
"Come in quickly," Chen Lirong greeted Li Long, "Driving from the county? Are you freezing?"
Li Long patted the coat on his body and said with a smile: "It's not cold, it's okay."
In fact, it is still a bit cold, especially under the crotch, where wind can easily enter.
"Why are you here now?" Li Anguo asked as he and Li Long took things from the back.
"The harvester is here, and many people over there are coming to buy it. I don't have it in my yard for a long time. It's idle now, so I just happened to come over and pick it up."
"Hey, it seems business is pretty good." Li Anguo smiled, "Can I make a lot of money?"
"It's not bad, I can make one or two hundred per unit." Li Long said casually, "It depends on the sales volume."
"One or two hundred is a lot. It covers my salary for two to three months." The construction and installation company has a heavy workload and tiring work, so the salary will be higher.
Even so, Li Anguo is still quite envious. His younger brother is really capable.
After moving everything into the house, Li Long entered the house, took off his coat, and then relaxed.
"Let's squeeze in here in the evening. It just so happens that we two brothers have a drink. By the way, I'll call Yongqiang and Junshan." Li Anguo was very happy, "Are you hungry? Let your sister-in-law make something for you to eat first. Pad? ”
"I'm not hungry. I ate on the way." Li Long waved his hand hurriedly, "I'm not staying here anymore. I'll have dinner here for dinner. How are they doing?"
"It's free, we haven't started work yet." Li Anguo sighed, "Junshan came back and said that his father didn't agree with the search here. He said that everything in his hometown had been approved, but he didn't agree to it, so he froze. .”
Li Long shook his head slightly. This was a family matter and he couldn't get involved.
Li Anguo went to call Yang Yongqiang and Li Junshan. They lived in the dormitory of the construction and installation company, not far from here.
Seeing Li Long coming, both of them were very happy. The Chinese New Year has just passed, and everyone has a lot of new things to talk about, so we had a lot of fun chatting at the wine table.
Although Li Junshan was troubled, he did not reveal it at the wine table, and no one else asked.
What I drank was Quintante, a very distinctive wine bottle with an arc underneath, like an ancient wine vessel or a kerosene lamp with a cover.
After Li Long's drinking capacity was verified, he didn't plan to drink too much today, not much anyway.
We stayed at the guest house of the construction and installation company that night. Without alerting Section Chief Ma, Li Anguo went directly to say hello - of course he just registered, but he had to pay anyway. They knew he was a relative of the installation company worker, so they let him stay.
After having breakfast in Li Anguo's courtyard the next day, Li Long drove the tractor to the agricultural machinery factory.
The city is slightly more lively than the county, because the Seventh Agricultural Division is here and there are many more people working.
When Li Long arrived at the agricultural machinery factory, a tractor happened to drive out.
After the man saw Li Long, he greeted loudly:
"There's no need to go. You're also from the Eighth Division, right? We don't sell harvesters here, and we don't sell harvesters to people from the Eighth Division or Ma County. There's no need to go in."
Li Long was stunned for a moment and realized that the other party must have looked at the license plate of his tractor and knew where he was from.
Although the regiments of the Eighth Agricultural Division are affiliated with the Corps, their tractor licenses are still in the local area. For example, the 149150th Regiment, based in Ma County, has the license plate of Luoma County, while other regiments in Shawan That's where the number falls.
Of course, there are also local films in Shicheng, and the local corps unit is the brand of Luoshicheng.
For example, the corps that Han Dachun belonged to belonged to the Sixth Agricultural Division. The division headquarters was close to Wucheng, but their cars also required Luoma County license plates.
Li Long waved and said loudly:
"I'll go in and try my luck."
Seeing that Li Long was so disobedient, the man shook his head and drove away on the tractor.
Li Long didn't expect that Director Du was quite honest.
In this case, subsequent cooperation is not impossible.
Li Long drove the tractor into the factory and looked at the seven or eight harvesters piled outside the factory.
Enough.
An employee in the factory saw Li Long driving in on a tractor and shouted:
"The ones from Ma County and Shicheng are not for sale. They are gone."
Li Long smiled and turned off the tractor and got off the tractor. The man came over and said impatiently:
"Didn't I tell you, our harvesters are not sold in Shicheng, Ma County."
"Why not sell it?" Li Long deliberately wanted to ask.
"There is an agent over there, look for Li Long from Ma County." The worker waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go, don't waste time, it's useless to stay, we won't sell!"
"Brother, I am Li Long, here to pull the harvester." Li Long was happy, "Is Director Du here?"
"Director? Yes. Are you Li Long?" The worker looked Li Long up and down, "Why haven't I seen you?"
"I haven't seen you before either. I've been here several times," Li Long pointed at a few people working in the workshop and said, "I've seen all of them."
"That should be true. I just started working a year ago." When the worker heard what Li Long said, he really believed it and went to the office to call Factory Director Du.
Director Du was very happy to hear that Li Long was here. He came out and shook hands with Li Long and said:
"Hurry up and take your harvesters away, so that fewer people will come to bother me."
"Except where I am an agent, how are harvesters sold elsewhere?"
"Very good, very good." When he said this, Director Du couldn't close his mouth. "Thanks to you saying in the newspaper that this harvester was produced by us.
Before and after New Year's Eve, more than a dozen people came to buy harvesters, and they took away seven of them. The money earned from this helped our factory workers have a good year. Right now, there are still orders for almost ten units, and there should be more to come! ”
Li Long looked around and found that the workers were really energetic. Although it was very hard to start production in the winter, everyone had a smile on their face. No one complained, and there were quite a few joking with each other.
"Okay, I'll take away five units today." Li Long went over with Factory Director Du to look at the newly produced harvesters. He found that there had indeed been some changes, and the problems he mentioned earlier had indeed been corrected.
"Take it away, take it away." Director Du said with a smile, "Take it away quickly. If you pull it away, those people will know you are there and won't bother me. Now I regret it. The scope of your agency , it happens to be the best place for selling harvesters - people come to buy it every day after the new year. I am happy and regretful at the same time. ”
"Hahahaha, it's okay. If you produce more, the benefits will increase." Li Long smiled, "Then shall we load the car first or pay the money first?"
"No delay, come together!" Factory Director Du said, "Don't worry about the quality, they must be good. If it breaks, just bring it over and I will repair it for you!"
So, Li Long installed five harvesters in his truck and drove out of the agricultural machinery factory.
Not long after driving out, he was stopped by others. (End of chapter)
