Tao Daqiang rejected the job Li Long said. After Li Long drove away in a jeep, Yang Pingping came over with the child and asked:
"Why don't you go?" In fact, when Li Long told him about this job just now, Yang Pingping wanted to persuade Tao Daqiang.
But Yang Pingping knew her husband's personality. Tao Daqiang and Li Long have a close relationship with him than his elder brother Tao Dayong. Under normal circumstances, Tao Daqiang will definitely not object to what Li Long proposes.
And this time Li Long also wanted to take Tao Daqiang to make money, and Yang Pingping actually wanted Tao Daqiang to go there.
But since her husband had made a decision, Yang Pingping respected him. He didn't say it at that time and asked afterwards.
"Then you have to live outside, I don't want to do it." Tao Daqiang shook his head and said, "Our family is not short of money now. There are a lot of work in the fields recently. Our father and Brother Long's father caught fish during this period. , and also earn a lot of money. I am very happy when I go out early and come back late.
We have to do the work in the field. I don’t want you to carry your baby to work in the field after you leave. Besides, I stayed for more than twenty days when I was weaving and carrying my hands in summer, and I thought about my children very much! ”
Yang Pingping smiled and handed the child in her arms to Tao Daqiang.
That's right. The situation in my family is currently the best in the fourth team. I have no shortage of food and clothing. I have a tractor and a bicycle. My husband is nice to me, but I don’t care about my mother-in-law.
It's time to be content.
Let others earn that money.
After Xie Yundong received Li Long's letter, he immediately started packing up his things. Knowing that he might be living outside, he had to prepare bedding. Deng Guilan didn't stop him this time, turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare dry food for her husband.
When driving a tractor and taking a harvester to harvest wheat, she chose the previous plan to work for Li Long, and there was no risk. At that time, Xie Yundong opposed it and chose the kind that was self-contained.
As a result, after harvesting wheat this season, my family earned several thousand yuan, which was much higher than the weaving and carrying a handkerchief.
I feel that I can earn the money from the tractor after working for another season next year.
The speed of money scared Deng Guilan, and she could also feel that her husband made the right choice and Li Long took care of her family.
So this time she did not express any opinions, but just made preparations and ensured logistics.
"This time I won't live for a long time like a weaving handheld." Xie Yundong said while packing the bedding, "It's like to make grass. That family can live for three or five hundred acres at most for two or three days, and then change to another family. Although The price is not as high as last time, but the quantity is large. Before the melon is ripe, we can make another good money! ”
Deng Guilan looked at her husband's black face, which had not yet recovered from being harvested due to wheat harvesting, and sighed:
"Look at your face, you haven't recovered yet, so you have to go to the sun again."
"Why don't you bask in the sun when you are a farmer? Look at the people in the team, how many people want to bask in this way? Isn't it just a few of us who can do this job?"
"That's right." Deng Guilan smiled, "The speed of money coming... is so fast. I couldn't have thought that I could earn several thousand this season! At that time, I remember that the completion points were calculated at the end of the year, and the family had a total of only ones. More than seven yuan is paid..."
"There is more than seven yuan now, so the tractor can be earned after driving for an hour." Xie Yundong agreed, "This day is getting more and more beautiful."
He didn't know what the Matthew effect was, but he only knew that since he worked with Li Long, it seemed that it had become much easier to make money. He just took a job and was better than someone else's family for a few years.
It's amazing!
The Liang Dacheng family is also in a similar situation.
Only Li Jianguo was more troublesome. He wanted to drive a tractor. He had to go to Tao Daqiang to pull the harvester over, and secondly, he had to give his family a whole transportation tool.
So Li Jianguo went to Laoma again and asked Lao Uncle Luo to bring back No. 76 with his carriage.
No. 76 actually works with Uncle Luo. In addition to feeding wild boars and deer, Uncle Luo usually leads a carriage of No. 76 every day to pick grass and prepare materials for the village. Otherwise, the sugar residue feed left in the horse zodiac is not enough.
The four teams of three people with tractors were all preparing, and this matter soon spread in the village.
People who are envious are still envious. How much money does it earn when a tractor takes a harvester to harvest wheat can be calculated. A maiji family collected dozens of bags of wheat, but others earned thousands of dollars.
Next, I have to prepare for harvesting corn oil sunflower, and they have to make a lot of money again. At this moment, the sky above the fourth team was filled with a strong smell of vinegar.
After returning to the courtyard, Li Long parked the jeep and turned off the engine, and Sister Yang brought the meal out.
Li Long left a little anxiously before and didn't say the details. Now when he was having dinner, he told Gu Xiaoxia everything about it.
"This is a good thing." When he heard that Li Long had found a job for his elder brother and Xie Yundong and others, Gu Xiaoxia helped the two children drive away the mosquitoes and said with a smile, "There should be more work to make money like this. .”
As the daughter-in-law of the Li family, she naturally hopes that her family will live better and better, including Li Long's elder brother's family and sister-in-law's mother's family.
"This is the only big job this year." Li Long said while eating, "But after finishing this job, brother and others can have a comfortable New Year."
This year, I took my elder brother and others to weave and carry handles and harvest wheat, and then I could make 10,000 yuan (Li Jianguo didn’t deduct money from carrying handles). There might be a big broom and a The reed handle, plus the money from melons, can make the eldest brother make a pure profit of one thousand yuan a year, which is enough.
No matter how you say that you are a top star at the township level.
It is late August, early autumn is already counting. When I woke up in the morning, there was dew on some grass leaves. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and some people have to wear jackets when they wake up early, otherwise they will feel cold.
Just after breakfast, Li Long heard the rattle of the tractor outside.
He hurried over to open the door, watching the three tractors parked outside the door. Li Jianguo stopped the engine and got out of the car, followed by Xie Yundong and Liang Dacheng carrying the handle.
"Let me see Mingming and Haohao." Li Jianguo was still holding a fish in his hand - this was the fish caught by Li Qingxia and the others yesterday. After picking up the net this morning, he was anxious to pack up some of the crucian carp and a big carp. He came out and brought it over.
Gu Xiaoxia also came to the door of the main house when she heard the movement and saw Li Jianguo saying hello.
"Where is the child sleeping inside?" Li Jianguo asked without hearing the noise.
"I haven't slept, I'm playing in the bed." Gu Xiaoxia said with a smile.
"Then let me see." Li Jianguo walked over, Xie Yundong and Liang Dacheng followed behind, and then greeted Gu Xiaoxia.
The child was in the inner room, and Li Long specially found someone to make a crib for him. It was quite wide. Both children were lying on it and playing with the dolls sewn by Sister Yang.
Hearing the movement, the two children tried hard to look at the door, but they couldn't sit up yet.
Li Jianguo stood at the door of the inner room and didn't go in. He was worried that the cold air he was carrying would affect the doll.
After looking at it with a smile, he turned around and came out. Later, Xie Yundong and Liang Dacheng also looked at the door, praising him "So good".
Very well-behaved indeed.
Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia said, then drove the jeep out and led the way in front.
It takes two or three hours to drive the tractor to the mouth of the Taxi River.
When he walked a few hundred meters further into the mountain pass, Li Long saw Tursun riding here.
He was surrounded by three herders. They smiled on their faces when they saw Li Long's jeep and the tractor behind him.
When Li Long's jeep drove to the horse and stopped, Tursun stepped forward and shook hands with Li Long with a smile:
"It's coming very quickly."
In fact, it was already morning, but people these days know that it was not easy to go out, so they ran like this with a tractor. By the time they arrived here in the morning, it means that they were still quite early to go out.
"Will we go to the grassland now?" Tursun asked after Li Long introduced Li Jianguo and the others to him.
He only contacted Li Long and shook hands with others.
"Go now, don't waste time." Li Long said, "End the call early and end early."
"Okay, then let's go, go in, let's go to the first one."
Tursun did not even introduce these three herdsmen, and rode his horse and ran forward with a greeting.
Then the tractor continued to follow the jeep.
Entering the third floor mountain, there was a relatively gentle wave in a mess that Li Long hadn't arrived before, on the other side of the river.
Fortunately, the river is also relatively slow and the tractor can drive over.
Tuerxun rode his horse to the grassland and said to Li Long who followed him to get off the car:
"They came over this morning and marked the big stone inside."
Li Long looked up the slope and saw that this grassland had to be more than 300 acres, which was relatively long overall, with the corners being irregular in shape because of the mountain. There were still people walking and patrolling in the grassland, probably looking for those stones.
The tractors were all driven over, and Li Long asked when he left, whether the elder brother and the others were working together, or the three tractors were working together.
Li Jianguo's suggestion was to work together with three tractors - mainly because Xie Yundong understood Uyghur language and could talk to the herdsmen, so that he could solve any troubles or difficulties. If the three families work together, they will be the average share of money, which Li Long thinks is good.
So he said to Tursun:
"How many acres is this grassland?"
"It's about two hundred and sixty acres." Tursun said, "I asked, and he said he was divided into two hundred and sixty acres when he divided."
Li Long glanced at it and found that it was roughly the same. I think Tursun wouldn't be too much on this.
After all, this is something that can be measured. If you really measure it, everyone will not look good on their faces.
"Then just take 260 acres, which costs 390 yuan in total, right? Do you change it with something?" Li Long asked.
"Well, exchange it for something." Tursun no longer said that he would hand over the things after the harvest. The tractor had already come over, so he went to tell one of the herdsmen that the herdsmen had been from the horse. He took off a sack from his back and carried it to Li Long.
The sack was bulging, and Li Long opened it and looked carefully.
Three wolf skins - Look at the skin, it must have been there for a long time. These three skins occupy most of the space in the sack.
Then there was a deer antler. Li Long picked it up and looked at it. It felt like it was more than one kilogram.
There was a black stone on the bottom of the sack. Li Long bent over and picked it up and looked at it. It was a piece of black jade.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
There are very few jaspers on the Taxi River. The main production area of jasper is upstream of Ma County, which is in the mountain pass where Harim and others are located.
Li Long looked at this piece of black jade and he was not sure what he was worth.
I looked into the bag and found that there was a stone at the bottom of the bag, which was a little bigger than the adult's fist, but it was very red.
Li Long put down the black jade and took out the red stone.
Bloodstone.
The one that is particularly red, very bright.
In the last life, Li Long saw a bloodstone at a domestic booth in China Jade Garden. It was bigger than the one in his hand, but the red color was not as bright as this one, and it was darker, and it was not as much as this one.
It was the stone at that time, and according to the owner of the booth, it was worth hundreds of thousands. At that time, Li Long felt that the man had a bragging element, but even if he reduced it ten times, it would be worth tens of thousands.
This piece is all bright red, and it feels oily when you touch it, which should be much better than that piece.
It should be a good stone. Li Long weighed it and said:
"Okay, that's all."
Tursun was originally worried that Li Long would not say enough, after all, in his opinion, these things were far from enough for 390 yuan.
But Li Long agreed so, which made Tuerxun feel that Li Long's vision was not good.
However, it is also a good thing to save money for your tribe members.
Apart from this bloodstone, the remaining wolf skin and deer antlers are less than 300 yuan. But Li Long knew that this bloodstone was not simple, so he carried the thing to Li Jianguo and the others and said:
"Brother, I'll exchange the goods for money. The harvest fee of 390 yuan will be given to you after I exchanged the money. You have to buy nearly 300 acres of land for a day. I'll come here again in the afternoon and see when I see it. In this case, if we haven’t finished the fight, we will live here. If we finish the fight, we will go to the next house.”
Three hundred and ninety yuan, one hundred and three days a day alone - this money... is so easy to make!
"Don't be too fast when you are cutting grass. Although they have marked the stones, they should be careful. You have to bring the harvester tool kit with you, right?"
All three nodded.
"There are blades inside. If the blades are broken, just remove them and replace them with one. However, one or two pieces will not affect the grass shooting. You don't have to be too rigorous in cutting grass. Crushing wheat is different from this."
< br>
"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Li Jianguo waved his hand, "We are going to work."
Li Long was about to leave, and Tursun wanted to call on the other two herdsmen to leave. But one of them ran to Li Long's jeep and grabbed the car door and gestured.
Li Long doesn't understand very much.
Tursun comes to translate:
"Do you want that red stone?"
"Yes." Li Long thought to himself, could he have it too? This thing is not that easy to pick up, right?
"I have it at home, can I pay for money to make money?"
"Go to your place tomorrow and the next day to see the stone. If it is so red..." Li Long took out the piece and gestured, "That's good."
Li Long left in a jeep, and Li Jianguo and the others discussed it. The three of them worked separately, and three tractors on the left, center and right started together. The scene was quite shocking - at least in this era.
As I watched the tractor drive upwards, the grass fell down and was neatly arranged. The herdsmen were really sighing.
Although Tursun had seen it, he was shocked again when he saw three tractors walking together.
This money really deserves to be earned.
If you want to use a sabi sickle to beat the grass, how long will it take to fight like this before you can run a lap? It will take at least several days, right?
Tursun didn't understand why Li Long wanted the red stone. It is neither jade nor gem, but it is a little brighter in color, but it is actually a stone, which is not worth anything at all.
Neither a purchase station is needed.
He thought about it and felt that Li Long was young and inexperienced, and thought he had found a treasure.
Still too young!
Forget it, it doesn’t matter. It’s his choice anyway.
"If you can find such a red stone tomorrow, give it to him. But there should not be too few things. Maybe he will regret it tomorrow. That red stone is not worth much." Tursun said to the second herder.
"What about me?" asked the third herder.
"Wait first, go and pick out all the stones, wooden trunks and the like in your pasture. You can't break the harvester." Tursun ordered, "Go back and tell everyone that you can cut them, you have seen it too. , This is a very fast grass-piping speed, so don't worry."
Two herders rode on horseback to their pasture, while Tursun went to the pastoral team.
He still has his own things to do and can't stay here for too long.
It was already noon for Li Long's jeep to be driven back to the county, and Gu Xiaoxia, Gu Boyuan, Sister Yang and the others were having a meal.
They were quite surprised when Li Long came back. Sister Yang hurried to serve Li Long with rice - it was rice at noon.
"I'll come back after getting things settled." Li Long washed his hands and ate, explaining while eating.
"Your brother and the others are fine, right?" Gu Boyuan had already learned about the incident from Gu Xiaoxia and asked.
"No problem. Brother Yundong knows Uyghur language and can communicate with them. I'll just pull a few barrels of oil to add to them tomorrow. I'll solve them one by one if they have any difficulties." br>
Li Long had to run two ends this time, but that was nothing. Anyway, the jeep runs fast, and although the road conditions are not very good, it is much better than driving a tractor.
And make money.
He gave all the money for the grass to the elder brother and the others at the price - but if this thing is sold, he can make a lot of money from it.
For example, this bloodstone may not be sold at the moment, but it will definitely be a good price for a few years.
Anyway, it's not a loss.
After dinner, Li Long took the skin, antlers and today's ones that he brought from Harim and the others a few days ago to the acquisition station.
Chen Hongjun happened to be there, and Li Long sold his skin and talked to him about the bloodstone.
"We definitely won't collect the bloodstone of chicken, we won't collect the jade." Chen Hongjun's reply was not surprising at all.
"But bloodstone is a good thing. If the blood is bright and full, it will be based on the price." Chen Hongjun also understood a little, "There are people who take this in their mouths, so we have less to play with this."
Li Long nodded, so keep it for now and take action if there is a suitable opportunity in the future.
Anyway, it's all profitable.
Just today, these skins and antlers are worth a lot - he didn't sell bear skin and snow leopard skin, which is useful.
It's very useful. (This chapter ends)
