Chapter 2 Returning to Farming in Hometown
"I have something to do tonight." Li Xiang shrugged and waved his fist, "I support you! Come on, Oli!"
Manager: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Chen Huanhuan was lying on the table holding back laughter, her shoulders trembling slightly. She also wanted to retaliate. If you want to do it, you can do it yourself. I support her mentally. It's a pity that if you want to continue to hang out here, you can't be as cool as Li Xiang.
In this company, there is no overtime pay for overtime work, and you have to pay for your own dinner.
Li Xiang's work was handed over on the third day.
The time approved on the resignation slip has not yet come, but you can take leave. Since the entire resignation process has been completed, the other party still has to pay the money that should be paid, but it will not be credited to Li Xiang's card until next month's salary.
He has to go back in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival to spend the festival with his grandma.
In view of Li Xiang's "amazing performance" in the past few days, the manager approved his leave. Otherwise, if he is criticized by you a few more times, his high blood pressure will rise.
Li Xiang's rent was due soon. If he continued to work, the money he got would be too low value for money, so he happily packed his bags and embarked on the journey home.
I had a roommate from the Northeast who was a part-time seller of traditional Chinese medicine. He bought a pound of domestically produced sugar-free red ginseng for 500 yuan, 10 sticks in total, about 50 grams each. The quality was good, and it was reasonably priced. Then I bought a few sets of clothes for the elderly as gifts for my grandma and grandparents.
Since his hometown is in a mountainous area, it is ten kilometers away from the nearest town and more than twenty kilometers away from the nearest county seat. It is very inconvenient to purchase supplies, so Li Xiang bought some regular medicines, such as ibuprofen capsules, cefaclor, and amoxicillin. Xilin, isatis granules, band-aids, iodophor cotton balls, etc., in case of emergency.
I had a headache and fever in the middle of the night. I had medicine at home so I didn’t panic.
In addition, I also bought some snacks and instant noodles to eat on the road.
I got on the train with all my bags packed. I didn’t want to take the high-speed rail or high-speed train. Instead, I chose an ordinary express train with a hard sleeper. It took more than twice the time and took more than 20 hours to arrive. The fare was half cheaper than the high-speed rail and only cost four days. More than 100 yuan.
For the poor, time is the least valuable thing.
In fact, Li Xiang enjoyed this kind of journey. He was wandering around in the car, lying on the upper bunk and putting on headphones, watching short videos, catching up on dramas, and reading novels. It was quite good.
There is one thing that his former colleagues guessed correctly, that is, he does have a plan to do video self-media, but now it has passed the strongest trend. The competition has become red sea, and it is very difficult to open an account. .
I originally wanted to buy a slightly better mobile phone, because when I go back I will record videos and, if possible, live broadcast. Nowadays, the performance of mobile phones is not good, and secondly, if it breaks down, there is a spare. However, his family's financial resources were too small, so he worked for two years and lived frugally, only to be able to save 12,000 yuan.
However, there are several sets of charging cables and charging heads, and there is also a longer telescopic stand for shooting videos in the future. After returning to my hometown, online shopping is possible, but it is inconvenient to pick up express delivery.
At noon the next day, Li Xiang arrived at the county town of his hometown. After leaving the train station, he went to the county town to buy a three-bouncer.
Because I returned to my hometown to farm, the Sanbengzi was very practical in the remote countryside. It was very convenient for doing farm work, going to the market, and transporting fertilizers, pesticides, and utensils.
Of course, tractors are better, the kind of agricultural four-wheel drive that can be used to pull goods when attached to a carriage. With different farming equipment, it can be used for rotary tilling, ditching, ridging, and sowing...
But tractors are too expensive. Cheap ones cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, so I can’t afford them now.
And Sanbengzi only costs more than 3,000.
The car dealership that Li Xiang came to has a hot-selling car model with a cabin of 1.5 meters * 1 meters, a canopy, a top speed of 40-50 kilometers per hour, and a full battery life of 65 kilometers. The boss quoted 3600, and finally talked about 3400, and then let him go. The boss gave me a helmet and a small electric air pump.
Li Xiang put the big and small bags in the carriage and rode away happily. This was the first car he truly owned in his life.
In his previous life, he drove a road vehicle converted from a large oil tanker, but it was not his own but belonged to the base.
Strictly speaking, you need a driver's license and license plate to drive this kind of three-wheel drive, but who cares in this rural place?
I'll do another one later when I have free time. Because of this type of car, you don’t need to go to a driving school to sign up. You only need to bring the original and copy of your ID card, a physical examination certificate issued by a hospital at or above the county level, and three one-inch white background photos to apply.
Even if he is caught, he can just say that it is the first day of purchase and he has not had time to do it before. Ordinary traffic policemen will not deliberately embarrass him.
Li Xiang did not go back immediately, but went to visit other places in the county. The carriage was big enough and could hold some more supplies. Grandma is the only one at home, and there may be a shortage of rice, flour, oil, etc. My eldest grandson is not going to be a bastard when he returns home.
I didn’t buy vegetables, mainly meat and fish, ten pounds of pork, two large grass carp, some rice, flour, oil and seasoning.
Since today happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, I also weighed some mooncakes, peach slices, ginger cakes, etc., divided them into two big bags, and mixed them together.
Considering that the weather is still hot and I lack a refrigerator at home, I bought a three-door small refrigerator for 999 yuan, which has a capacity of 215L and is sufficient.
The tricycles were so crowded that the speed of the vehicles obviously slowed down.
I have to say that with Sanbengzi, it is much more convenient to go home from the county town. Otherwise, if you have a lot of luggage, you can only get off the urban and rural buses in the county town on the main road, and you have to walk several kilometers after getting off the bus.
In fact, there is a "different-dimensional warehouse" in Li Xiang's system, with a volume of 1 cubic meter and a cubic space, but it is not convenient for "showing the saint in front of people". He just put some important things in it and carried ordinary and worthless things.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain "changing things out of thin air" after returning home.
Li Xiang studied it and found that this different-dimensional warehouse has an upgrade button, but it requires "achievement points".
Achievement points can be obtained by completing tasks or achieving certain achievements. It’s just that no tasks have been released yet.
"Do we have to wait until the end of the world to release the mission? That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Although my hometown is remote, it benefits from the "every village access" policy. After leaving the main road, there are also hardened paths.
Feeling timid near home, Li Xiang slowed down.
The tricycle was piled with "materials" and a large refrigerator was tied with a rope. It was swaying. He was not in a hurry and drove slowly. From a distance, he saw a man grazing cattle on the roadside. He was a cousin from the village. , the relationship with his family was not good in the past, but out of politeness, Li Xiang stopped to say hello: "Uncle San, you are herding cattle!"
"Hey, Xiangya, why are you driving a tricycle back? Your cousin always drives a car every time he comes back."
The "your cousin" he refers to is his son, who is a few years older than Li Xiang. He has never gone to college, but it is said that he is doing well as a contractor in the provincial capital. The other party's face was filled with a sense of superiority, and it was obvious that he looked down upon Li Xiang riding a tricycle.
Li Xiang put his hand into his pocket to touch the cigarette and came out empty. He had a good cigarette in his pocket, but since the other party had such an attitude, forget it. He smiled lightly and said: "I won't go out anymore. In rural areas, tricycles are still more practical."
"What future can you, a college student, do living in a ravine?" Li Jintang glanced at Li Xiang thoughtfully, thinking that most of the time this kid couldn't survive in a big city. What was he doing that couldn't be done? Is anyone open?
Mixed with a little pity.
Li Xiang said: "My grandma is old and I have come back to provide for her. Third uncle, I'm going back first!"
Li Jintang waved his hand: "Go ahead, go ahead." Looking at Li Xiang's leaving figure, he curled his lips. Come back to support grandma in her old age? This little mouth is really good at talking. If you really have the ability, I will take your grandma out to enjoy her life.
Li Xiang drove a fully loaded tricycle and finally arrived at the entrance of the village. Looking from a distance, under the big willow tree at the end of the village, more than ten old people were lined up in two rows with a lane in the middle. Almost all of them were women.
Li Xiang took a breath. This is the most mysterious organization in the universe, the most powerful intelligence agency on earth, the famous "Village Intelligence Team". They can make you ruin your reputation, or they can make you prosperous.
If you don't respond well, if you cough twice today, it will be reported that you have terminal lung cancer tomorrow.
Of course, Li Xiang was not afraid, he was just joking and joking in his heart. Then I’m curious, how did this situation lead to national unity?
Li Xiang drove his tricycle to greet them calmly and calmly. He had already thought of a countermeasure before he came back.
The tricycle stopped two or three meters away. He took out the moon cakes, peach slices, ginger cakes, etc. that had been prepared for a long time from the carriage. He jumped out of the car with a smile and enthusiasm, saying "aunt" and "third aunt" in each mouthful. "... walked quickly towards the group of people.
While calling people, he distributed the gifts in his hands: "I came back in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. The freshly baked moon cakes and ginger cakes are in line with the festival."
If you don't call "Auntie" once or if you don't give out a piece of cake, there will be big problems. Li Xiang has dealt with everything.
When the aunts and ladies got the gifts and saw Li Xiang's sweet mouth, they couldn't help asking questions, and Li Xiang started talking nonsense. He could stop smoking for Li Jintang, but he could not offend these important members of the "intelligence team".
