"One car is fifteen, two cars are thirty, isn't it expensive?" Captain Ma sat down and said to Li Long, "Let me tell you, the price of cars is not cheap. It would have gone up, but for Lao Li's sake For my sake, that’s all.”
Just as Li Long was thinking about it, Ma Chunlei said again:
"Don't think it's expensive. Give ten yuan to the driver and five yuan will be given to our team. If you think it works, then you can decide. If it doesn't work, then..."
"Okay." Li Long naturally had no objection.
It's really not cheap to pull things by car these days. A trip to the mountains for fifteen yuan is enough.
Besides, it's not a one-time transaction. There will be at least five, six, seven or eighty people to come back later.
It just so happens that you can calculate how much a car can pull. If it pulls a lot, you can estimate it based on the amount later.
After discussing the matter, Li Long drove a jeep to buy some rice, flour, oil, and daily necessities, and drove to the holding point of the animal husbandry team.
Harimu's mother, Yushanjiang's wife and children are all here. Harimu and the others were about to transfer, so Li Long had to come over to see what was going on here.
It seems that the animal husbandry team has added several yards this year, and some houses have also been repaired. The contrast between the newly repaired traces and the original traces is obvious.
Some roofs have also been reinforced and covered with mud.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is still the courtyard of Halimu's house. The courtyard walls are generally higher and evener than other courtyard walls, with no gaps. The road leading from the yard to the outside is paved and compacted.
When Li Long's jeep drove into the holding point, some people had already left the yard to look around.
Nathan and Susken were at the academy, and the old lady was alone in the yard. The old lady smiled when she saw the jeep arriving at the door.
Of course she knew this car. Li Long had previously driven this jeep to Harimudong's house many times and pulled things for them.
Knowing that Li Long was coming, the old lady stood up and walked slowly to the door.
Li Long got out of the car and moved things into the yard. The old lady was talking, but Li Long couldn't understand it anyway, so he just responded with hums and ahs.
After unloading some of the things, he looked inside the house and then the kitchen. Li Long planned to bring some meat and new bedding when he came over next time.
The bedding in this room is very worn.
Li Long simply helped take out the bedding and dry it outside, so that at least it would be warmer when sleeping at night.
The weather in late April was quite cool in the morning and evening.
After finishing this, Li Long said hello to the old lady and went to Yushanjiang's yard again.
When she returned home after delivering the things, Sister Yang was already cooking.
After eating at home, Li Long drove the jeep to the transportation company.
Gu Boyuan heard that Li Long was bringing a batch of trucks back in the evening, so he said he would stay and help unload the trucks.
Li Long didn't refuse. Unloading the truck was indeed a troublesome job, and it was not easy for him to handle it alone.
The location agreed with Captain Ma was not at the transportation company, but at the fork in the west of the county.
The transportation company's cars usually drive into the garage after get off work, but return to the garage after get off work. The unspoken rule is that the driver is allowed to drive back to his home and only drive back when he goes to work the next day.
After all, the person who manages the garage gets off work as soon as the door is locked, and no one wants to come from home to open the door for the driver at this time.
So when Li Long went to the west of the county suburb, he saw two cars.
The driver was squatting on the side of the road smoking. When he saw Li Long driving the jeep, the two of them subconsciously stood up and threw away the cigarette butts.
Li Long parked the jeep beside him, got down, shook hands with the two people, and stuffed two bags into each person's front door.
The two drivers immediately laughed.
The jeep was in front, and the two cars were behind, and they drove towards the mountains.
The small convoy kicked up a cloud of dust, and people passing by were curious when they saw this scene.
What kind of big leader wants to go into the mountains and start such a big battle?
When we arrived at Xiaobaiyanggou, the people here had already had dinner.
After dinner, some industrious people still wanted to knit for a while, but some people had already rested.
After all, the labor intensity of this day is not small. Cutting strips, chopping poles, and then baking the strips and braiding them, the hands are all black.
According to Li Jianguo last year, after returning from the mountains, his hands were not washed for half a month.
The black ash from the baked slivers has seeped into the skin, and it will take a layer of the skin on the hands to peel off before it can turn white.
As the motorcade came over, Li Long parked the jeep aside as much as possible so as not to affect the entry and exit of the cars, and then directed the two cars to come to the large pile of handlebars.
The editors came over to help.
Someone neatly opened the trunk panel of the car and climbed up. Someone started to lift the handles from below, and the people above started to arrange them.
The two cars were packed in an orderly manner.
Soon, Li Long saw the difference between a car and a tractor.
This vehicle can carry the load of at least four tractors. At present, the capacity of tractor buckets is still too small.
After the carriage was full, someone brought a dozen large wooden poles and pinned them upright so that they could block the lifting handles from falling and allow them to continue loading.
There were not enough wooden poles, so someone immediately came over to chop them. Anyway, this wooden pole doesn’t require much, as long as it can be held in place and lifted.
The car was getting higher and higher, and the people on it stepped on the handlebars as carefully as possible.
Fortunately, Li Long has very high quality requirements for the handles, and these handles will not be broken after stepping on them a few times.
Then Li Long discovered that with nearly one hundred and eighty lifts, the two cars were not completely full.
There is still room for installation.
He roughly estimated that these two cars could hold more than two hundred tons, or even more.
Of course, the mountain road was not very good, and he didn’t want to pretend too much.
That's it.
It seems like I can just come here every two or three days for the next two or three days.
"Brother Long, I'll go back with you to unload the truck." Tao Daqiang came over and said, "Will you come over tomorrow? Just come and take me over."
With so many tricks up their sleeves, these dozen costumes took nearly half an hour. If Li Long unloads it by himself, I don’t know how long it will take to unload it.
Not only Tao Daqiang, but also Jia Weidong, Xie Yundong and others are also coming back.
The same goes for Xu Haijun and several other young men.
"Not so much. Brother Yundong, please stay, Daqiang, Haijun, you guys get in the passenger seat of the car and go back to unload the car." Li Long thought about it and decided, "I will send you here early tomorrow morning."
The car drove out of Xiaobaiyanggou. It was still dark, so those who wanted to do the editing continued. They also discussed what time Tao Daqiang and the others would be back tomorrow.
Li Jianguo walked out with a shotgun on his back.
Xu Haijun told him that there were roe deer passing by the mouth of the ditch over there, and he wanted to go over and see if he could catch them.
With a gun in hand and having shot a wild boar, Li Jianguo thought he could give it a try during his free time.
This gun is a good thing!
When the jeep drove back to the big yard with the two cars, the stars could already be seen in the sky. It was indeed a bit late.
Fortunately, it was not dark yet. When the car drove into the yard, a few young men immediately jumped out of the passenger seat and began to unload the car.
Gu Boyuan, who was waiting, didn't expect that Li Long would pull the young man back. He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
With so many tasks, it would take at least an hour or two for him and Li Long to unload them all, right?
Fortunately, we have these guys, which is good.
After Tao Daqiang and the others greeted Gu Boyuan and Gu Xiaoxia, they immediately began to unload the truck.
In order to go back as soon as possible, the two drivers also participated. In the past, they basically did not participate in unloading when pulling things. They always had dedicated people to unload.
Unloading was much faster than loading. These people were very busy and quickly unloaded the handles and placed them against the wall.
There used to be hedgehogs there, but they had been scared away by the noise. The little black dog and the two roe deer were also frightened away by such a big battle and hid in the backyard, popping their heads over from time to time to watch the fun.
By the time the loaders were unloaded, it was already dark.
The money had already been given, and Li Long stuffed each driver with a pack of cigarettes and said some words of thanks.
Sister Yang had already served the noodles, and the young man unloading the truck, the driver, and Li Long ate together.
Even if Li Long wanted to invite them out to eat at this time, there would be no place. The state-run canteens have long been closed, and small private restaurants are still rare and will not be open at this time.
"Let's eat early tomorrow and then send you to the mountains without delaying your work." Li Long promised.
"It's not less than a few hours." Xu Haijun joked while eating, "When I was in the army, I always wanted to ride on the jeep of our regiment leader. I didn't get to ride in the army, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to ride on it when I came back. , worth it!”
"That's right, it's worth it!" Another young man also said with a smile.
There are many houses here in Li Long, so there is no problem in arranging a place for a few young men to live.
After eating noodles, Gu Boyuan returned to his small courtyard with a flashlight. Li Long arranged a room for the boys, and then returned to the bedroom to soak Gu Xiaoxia's feet.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
Gu Xiaoxia's due date is in June, which is more than a month and almost two months away, but her feet are quite swollen right now and her belly is quite big.
According to Li Long, just ask for leave and don't go. Your health is important.
But Gu Xiaoxia is not good. She thinks she is okay, but she is a little tired from commuting to and from get off work. It is not that troublesome to stay in the office.
"You don't know how much my colleagues in the office envy me!" Gu Xiaoxia said to Li Long with a smile while soaking her feet, "I said I don't have any reaction now, there is nothing I don't want to eat, and there is nothing I particularly want to eat. . Nor vomiting..."
"Stop talking." Li Long said hurriedly, "Just be good by yourself. Don't talk and then react. Isn't that troublesome? Do we know the evil here?"
"Don't say anything. In your words, you can make a fortune in silence." Gu Xiaoxia waited for Li Long to wipe her feet, then brought her slippers, squatted and put them on for her, and then went to pour the water. .
Gu Xiaoxia was a little embarrassed at first, but now she is used to it. Looking at Li Long's back, her eyes are full of happiness.
Sister Yang knew that Li Long and the others had to go to the mountains early, so she got up to cook at dawn. After Li Long and the others got up and washed up, breakfast was already ready.
Gu Xiaoxia soaked her feet last night, and Li Long put a pillow under her legs when she slept, so she slept better. It is said that this is a method of taking a quick rest passed down by someone who has been a special forces soldier.
So although she got up relatively early, Gu Xiaoxia slept well and was very energetic.
After having breakfast together, Li Long first sent Gu Xiaoxia to the Education Bureau, then came back to pick up Tao Daqiang and the others, and drove the jeep into the mountains.
Xu Haijun, who was sitting in the jeep and took the passenger seat, looked excited:
"Hey, the leader of our group used to sit here. When we see this car and this position, we are really envious - I never thought that one day I would be able to sit in it. This car is more comfortable than a tractor or a big truck. Ah!”
Li Long thought that when you buy a car in more than twenty years, you will feel how uncomfortable it is to sit in this 212.
The shock absorbing systems of the cars at this time were not very good, and they were definitely not as good as those of later generations.
The first batch of cars of the Fourth Squad were not bought by everyone's money, but at that time the county and township provided a three-year interest-free loan to rural women to help local women start their own businesses.
There is no interest anyway, so some people get the money and buy a car - although it is not a good car, at least it is a car.
The old people say that these guys spend a lot of money and buy cars and drive them even if they don't have much money.
I just didn't expect that in 2001, the price of cotton suddenly skyrocketed. That year, all cotton growers had money, and then nearly half of the families in the village bought cars. Some of them didn't even have a driver's license, so they bought the car back - that is, it was easier to take the driver's license exam in those two years.
Tao Daqiang and others were crowded in the back row, and they were also looking at the scenery on both sides.
It’s not much different from sitting in a car and looking from both sides, but in their eyes, the feeling is completely different.
Except for this car, only leaders can ride in other cars.
When we arrived at Xiaobaiyanggou, we had already had breakfast. Some people were cutting slivers, and some were already burning the slivers and getting ready to make them.
Only then did Xu Haijun and the others regain their composure, quickly returned to their workstations, and started working.
Li Long's eyes fell on Lao Huang.
There was a roe deer hanging on the tree next to Lao Huang's stove, and he was watching how to skin it.
Li Long walked over and asked doubtfully:
"Brother Huang, where did this roe deer come from?"
"Hey, your brother did it this morning." Lao Huang said with a smile, "After tying it in the morning, I was going to have breakfast, and then I soaked it in the water. Let's see how it goes now - I think you did it better. .”
Li Long took out his knife, put the thing down, and started peeling it.
As he peeled the skin, he muttered, "Big brother is awesome!" I've only been here a few days and I've already hunted two animals. This Nanshan hunter doesn't feel like me, but like an older brother.
Li Jianguo came back with a bundle of notes on his back. He saw Li Long peeling the skin, so he put down the notes and came over.
"Brother, how did you find out?" Li Long asked while peeling the skin.
"Yesterday, the navy said they saw roe deer at the ditch. I went to check after you left yesterday. I saw several piles of dung but couldn't find any. I got up early this morning and went there with a gun on my back. I didn't expect them. If it’s still there, I’ll kill one.”
Li Jianguo had a smile on his face, and there was a bit of pride in his smile: "Those roe deer are so stupid that they won't run away when they see me."
"That's because I saw you alone and ran away when there were many people." Li Long sighed in his heart. This can't be said to be luck, this is his ability. Everyone else listened to Xu Haijun's words, so only the eldest brother went over to watch.
Not to mention that others don't have guns, even if they don't have guns, even if they go and look, if they find out and come back and tell Li Jianguo, Li Jianguo will give them a share if he shoots them.
Of course, Li Jianguo would definitely want to keep the meat here to eat after he was defeated. However, the previous wild boar meat has not been eaten, so there will not be many roe deer seeds left, so we still have to take them back.
Lao Huang smoked part of the wild boar meat that he had left before, and burned part of it in an enamel basin for cooking and eating every day.
There are a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms in the woods now, and everyone has brought cabbage, potatoes, and pickles, so there is no shortage of vegetables.
Therefore, Li Jianguo wanted to take the whole roe deer back and leave its internal organs here.
Li Jianguo could do whatever he wanted with the roe deer he shot down. This is a young female roe deer, now about 40 kilograms, not too small.
"Brother, do you still have bullets?" Li Long asked while peeling the skin.
"Yes, a total of five rounds were used twice." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "There are more."
The matter was settled like that. After Li Long broke down the roe deer seeds, he took them back. According to Li Jianguo, Li Long kept half of his head and took the remaining half home.
The Liang family didn't give it away for now, and then sent a wild boar leg, which they probably wouldn't be able to finish eating at the same time.
Although some people still want to taste the meat of the roe deer, the roe deer was captured by Li Jianguo, and the decision rests with him.
Some people thought that after dinner in the evening, they would take a walk around the area. If they saw any wild animals, they would ask Li Jianguo to hunt them, and if they did, they would be able to share some for themselves.
At least it’s not too much to separate the legs, right?
At this time, Bolati came to Li Long's wooden house on horseback.
No one was seen and the door was locked. Polati was a little surprised.
There was a small half bag of caladiums placed on his saddle. He originally planned to come over to exchange for some things, but now it seems he has no choice but to give up.
Although I was somewhat reluctant to hand over these caladiums to the forestry team, there seemed to be no other way.
Hidden?
Bolati thought as he rode away. Half an hour after he left, someone quietly walked out from the woods to the south, bending down and looking around.
When he came to the wooden house, he found that the door was locked. The man looked around and hesitated.
In the end, the man left with the bag on his back, but after walking out, he still turned his head and looked here from time to time.
Li Long's original plan was to send Xu Haijun and others to Xiaobaiyanggou and go to the wooden house himself. Now he can only go back first.
On the way, he also thought about cutting off a roe deer leg and putting it in the wooden house to eat when he was cooking there. But after thinking about it, I gave up. My eldest brother can hit things, but there is no reason why I can't hit things with half a dozen.
So he planned to eat what he was eating.
Send the meat back today, come over in the afternoon or tomorrow, give the gun a good wipe then, and then go around to look for prey.
Salt Mine Cave and Hot Spring Valley are good places.
At noon, the man came to the wooden house again. Seeing that there were no cars or tractors, he boldly smashed the lock of the wooden house with the stones he picked up... (End of Chapter)
