Li Long and Meng Hai talked about this matter, then took a jeep to He Yuqing's house and told Captain He about the matter.
He Yuqing is not at home, and her wife said he is working in the field. Meng Hai knew He Yuqing's land, so he asked Li Long to take him to find it.
Walking into the cornfield, Meng Hai got out of the car and shouted loudly, He Yuqing came out of the field, Li Long realized that he was not working, and there was nothing to do in the cornfield at this time. It's mowing the grass.
He Yuqing, who was holding a hug of grass, saw Li Long and walked to the ground quickly and asked: "Comrade Li Long, you are here, what's wrong?" br>
"Comrade Li said that this year's work of tying a big broom is coming, more than last year and more expensive than last year. Isn't you telling you about this?"
"What? It's coming? It's so good! We also talked about this a few days ago. I thought it was a little later than last year, why haven’t we arrived yet?”
He Yuqing was a little excited and didn’t want the half bundle of green grass that he was holding over. He threw it directly to the ground, holding a sickle, pushing the bicycle, followed Li Long and the others back to the team.
Returning to the yard, He Yuqing asked about the situation in detail. Li Long repeatedly mentioned the quality standards, time and price. The smile on He Yuqing's face became even more intense:
"Okay OK, great. Now it’s time to make some money while you’re free. It’s great! I’ll go and inform the team now. Comrade Li, don’t be busy and have dinner at home later. ”
"No need to be at your house. When I came out, the chickens were already slaughtered at home. I'll eat at my house later. Now let me talk to Comrade Li. I'm going to find Chen Laosi now. He should be offline today. I'll look for him. Buy some fish and make them together."
Meng Hai hurriedly left after saying that.
"This old Meng!" He Yuqing shook his head, "Every time I rob... Comrade Li Long, can I come to my house first next time? I will be a dereliction of duty as the captain."
< br>Looking at the conversation between them, Li Long wanted to laugh. When He Yuqing said this, Li Long hurriedly said you go and notify everyone first.
He Yuqing's wife brought a bowl of tea and brought Li Long a bench. Li Long took it and took a sip before he realized that there was honey in the water.
He sat and drank honey water, and He Yuqing entered the house to notify the whole team. As soon as the loudspeaker rang and the matter was notified, Li Long could see that the next door and the neighbors came out of the house all at once.
Although I didn't come here, I looked at the jeep in front of the He family and knew it was real. Then some people went back to the house, and some people rode their bicycles or got on horse and carriages and got out.
There are people who are anxious everywhere.
It's normal to think about it. Last year, the state and society gave the task more than half a month earlier than this year. When Li Long went to the mountains to make grass for Harimu and the others, the herdsmen helped Li Long cut the pole back.
It was too late to notify this year, so I could only let my elder brother Li Jianguo and the others cut this pole. Of course, it is true that the team members make more money.
It is a good idea to make a big broom and a reed handle. It not only allows you to make some money, but also allows the whole village, including this Qingshuihe Village, to make some money.
After He Yuqing had informed him, he came out of the house and picked up a bench, sat opposite Li Long and started chatting.
Not long after, Meng Hai hurried back, with some fishy smell on his body.
He Yuqing asked him: "Have the fish done?"
"It's done. Chen Laosi took two or three kilograms, and I asked him to take them to my house. I looked at it and the fish is quite fat now, just right." Meng Hai said, taking the tea handed over by He Yuqing's wife and took a sip of it. , then said: "When I came back, I met several people going out to get rid of pisodils. I told them that the quality this year should be higher, otherwise they would not collect it." I also told him in the speaker. "He Yuqing said proudly, "Did you hear it?" "
"I heard it, but I guess everyone doesn't care. I want to prick it first."
< br>"This quality is really important." Li Long thought to himself that he would show off this time, but this time it was not like talking about gossip at home, but with some warning effect.
He said seriously about the fact that the leaders of the autonomous region used big brooms that he heard from Li Xiangqian, and finally said: "We have a good quality. If the big broom cannot be tied well this time, in the future This job may be gone. If not, then the money can only be earned by outsiders. Do you think you will lose money? "
"Then it will definitely lose money!" This time, there are many brooms and the price is It's also high, so the family can get hundreds of dollars. If this income is gone, many of the family's expenses will have to be tightened. Not to mention the turnover will not be increased, at least it will not get better.
So He Yuqing and Meng Hai both knew the importance of this.
"When we go to each family in the afternoon, this matter must be taken seriously. Although the quality of the till is not good at that time, it will not affect the progress." Meng Hai was a little anxious and straightforward. , at that time, it was stated that the matter would be resolved on the same day.
He Yuqing naturally had no objection. He said that he was a big broom in every family, but the quality was really uneven. If you don’t remind me, maybe someone really doesn’t pay attention to it.
After chatting for a while, Meng Hai got up and asked Li Long and He Yuqing to have dinner at his house.
Li Long did not refuse, and went to Meng Hai's house to have dinner together.
The rice is very fragrant, which reminds Li Long that there seem to be two of the team who have planted rice this year.
The fourth team has a long history of planting rice, but after the households were contracted the year before, many people stopped planting due to the trouble of planting rice. Only two are still planting this year.
Li Long vaguely remembered that there were still planting other brigades in our commune in the last lifetime, but around two thousand years ago, they basically stopped planting them.
The main reason is that it is too troublesome, and the price is not high, so the economic benefits are not good.
Afterward, someone occasionally planted one or two pieces under Xiao Haizi, which looked like less than five acres of land, and it was eaten at home.
Later, no one planted it anymore - this thing relies too much on water.
So he plans to buy some new rice to store when the team grows rice this year. There is no vacuum sealer at the moment, but the rice is really delicious at this time.
Rice, a pot of stewed chicken, a pot of fish - the mixed fish of mountain loaches and small white strips, the taste is really fragrant.
Three people sat at a table, Meng Hai's wife and children were eating in the kitchen. Meng Hai took the wine and asked Li Long to refuse.
"I will go to Shicheng to do business in the afternoon, and I can't drink it." Li Long said the truth. "Okay, I can stay here when I get time. I'll drink it well then." Meng Hai put away the wine, "I said this last time, but I still can't drink it this time." "You know too. The child at home is still young, and I will definitely go home early after finishing my work." Li Long said while eating.
He Yuqing smiled and said, "Then Lao Meng, you can't collect the wine, I can drink it too." "What are you drinking? We have something to do in the afternoon, so we have to go and give it to you. Everyone please inform me.” Meng Hai said clearly.
He Yuqing smiled bitterly, picked up a piece of chicken and said, "Then I can eat it."
Everyone laughed.
After dinner, Li Long hurriedly left in a jeep. Waving Li Long away, He Yuqing said to Meng Hai: "Old Meng, do you think we have to give Comrade Li Long something to thank him? They are sending the money to our team "
"I thought about this, but I didn't think of it. If you say that people are driving small cars, they must be short of money, and it's not easy for them to give it to you. The one with something special about the team is the honey. It was given to him last year, and this year he gave him a baby again. What else is there? "
Meng Hai is actually thinking about this question too. "Let's think about it slowly. This must be done before the broom is finished, otherwise we will not be able to be a human being."
Li Long drove to Wuyi Highway, then turned west and headed towards Shicheng.
On the road, Li Long encountered some cars that pulled wheat grass and cart pulled goods. When he passed by the Mahe Bridge, he was surprised to find that there were already people walking back and forth on the stone beach by the river, and it is likely that he was picking up jade.
It seems that it is easier for people who have information resources to make money at any time. Although there is jade here and good jade is quite valuable, Li Long knew that 99% of the people in Ma County didn’t know that there was jade here at this time, and the rest knew that there was jade here, and they didn’t know how to distinguish jade.
He drove to the old street first, planning to go to see his sister Li Xia first, and then go to the sugar factory when he was about to get off work. If Song Ming had time, he would be able to take a truckload of sugar slags to the fourth team today. If Song Ming is not available, then make sure that he will send it to him almost a week in the future. In this way, Song Ming can make money and make a relatively stable extra income. The Laoma can also have a stable source of feed. I was worried that there would be no feed to feed the cattle and sheep when I was collecting cattle and sheep.
The old street is still lively and order is OK. The managers patrol from time to time, scolding some people who are not clean, and also let some people who set up stalls and do not guard the place to move the stalls.
Li Long parked the jeep to the big yard and walked around the old street.
The variety of things sold is getting more and more abundant. Li Long bought a basket of eggs and two chickens, and carried them to his sister Li Xia's house.
When he passed by the stall in the food factory, there were many people around him. Chen Xingbang was cutting meat for people, so Li Long did not go over to disturb him.
When I arrived at Li Xia's yard, Li Long's door was half open, and he went in and glanced, a little surprised.
The yard has undergone some renovations, and a new earthen stove is built in the middle of the flower wall, with a large pot on it and a cover on it.
The vegetables have been planted in the vegetables. The east side of the garden is separated from the vegetable field, and a pigpen is built. At this time, Li Long could hear the pig inside humming.
It turned out that my sister Li Xia was idle at home and Hongqin was also going to school, so she started feeding pigs.
Backing the wall on the north side of the pigpen in the southeast and the flower wall, there are two bags of bran and other feed there, which should be fed to this.
Li Xia heard the noise in the room and walked out. After seeing Li Long, she said in surprise:
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "Xiaolong, why are you here? Come into the house quickly, I'll cut the melon for you to eat!" Li Long entered the house with the egg and the tied chicken. He put two things in the kitchen and looked at the decorations in the room.
The kitchen contains some vegetables picked from the vegetable fields, such as spicy, eggplant, persimmons, etc.; in the kitchen, the rice and flour are placed on the brick table, and a few watermelons are placed in the corner.
Li Xia held the watermelon and put it on the small table. She went to get a kitchen knife, rinse it with water and then came to cut the melon. She asked while cutting:
"Is this time here to do business? How are the two children? Xiaoxia is going to work, right? Are the parents at home?..."
A series of questions asked, but Li Long had no time to answer, Li Xia was like this. He had already cut the melon and picked the largest piece and handed it to him. "The family is well, and my father went back to his hometown and said he wanted to revise the family tree. He had to go back and give us our names, including the dolls."
"Then How can I get up? "Li Xia shook her head and said, "Your name can be up, but how can we get up with the names of our women?" "
" Dad said to go find Anmin, and Anmin will be responsible for editing the genealogy. If you write it quietly, no one knows it." Li Long expressed his plans to discuss at the time, "Of course it's best to write it, but if you can't write it, it's impossible to write it."
"Well, too. What about your two children? How about your brother?"
"Brother went to the mountains to cut poles today. I found another job to earn some money. My two children are now both OK, there is an elder sister who helps to watch. Xiaoxia is already at work. "Li Long talks about the situation while eating watermelon, and then asks: "Hongqin is also going to school?" "
" "Li Xia took a piece of melon and said with a smile: "The food factory found a relationship. I was in the first grade and came back every day to tell new things. Also, my household registration has been included, and it will be here in the future "
Although the northern border is remote, at least the current life is much better for the Li Xia family than before. In addition, their parents, brothers and younger brothers are here, so they regard this place as the home.
"It's good to settle down. I think you have raised a pig?" Li Long finished eating the melon and picked up the tooth and asked while eating.
At this time, there were no seedless watermelons. The watermelon seeds were spit on the table and gathered into a small pile. These are all habits at home. You can keep all the seeds of any kind, so you won’t have to worry about planting them later.
"It depends on how carefully you eat it, and it doesn't make you drip. Hongqin's face and clothes are all over her face when she eats watermelon." Li Xia said in a comparison, "By the way, I just raise two piglets, maybe I eat it. "
"Saying me and Hongqin, how old is she? "Li Long smiled, "It's good to be older."
He knew that in his brother and sister There, I am still a child.
After eating watermelon, the two of them came to the yard and Li Long went to see the two pigs.
This pig was caught late, and it was only less than forty kilograms. It looked very lively. When he heard the noise, he immediately came to the door and hummed and asked for food.
"This time I'm going to the sugar manufacturer to discuss the sugar slags. I'll send you some sugar slags, and you'll save feed if you feed the pigs." Li Long thought for a while and said, "Give it to you." Get ten bags, it should be almost done. "
"Enough enough!" Li Xia also knew about sugar slags. In fact, she wanted to pull sugar slags when she was idle, but her family lacked a cart at the moment . She heard that others can make hundreds of kilograms of candy slag a day, so how many days can they feed pigs? It saves a lot of money!
This matter was decided, and Li Long was not stunned for a long time. After saying goodbye to Li Xia, he went to the sugar factory.
Song Ming, who was in the sugar factory, just came back from unloading a truckload of sugar slags and ran into Li Long.
Li Long got off the jeep and told Song Ming about this matter.
"You mean you will send a truck of sugar slag every week in the future?" Song Ming was so happy when he heard this, "That's fine! I'll be able to send sugar slags to you when I get off work... …”
“Five cars are here this month. The first car today,” Li Long took out his wallet and counted 100 and handed it to Song Ming, “Can you put ten sacks today? My sister is here too Raising pigs, I'll send some to the old street."
"Okay, no problem." Song Ming counted the money and Yang Yang, "It's too much."
"It's okay, the more you are still yours. Every time I want to add sacks, I don't have any sugar slags to come. You have to deal with some. If you have more, it's the money."
Li Long is open-minded, Song Ming was naturally happy, thinking in his heart that the work he had to do was beautifully done.
He asked Li Long to wait here, drove into the factory by himself, went to the warehouse manager to ask for ten sacks, and got the sugar slag to the place to put them in the sack.
There is a dedicated person to unload the sugar slag. He doesn't need to work hard, so he just watches the filling.
Song Ming often asked for sacks from the warehouse manager. The warehouse manager was unwilling to do so earlier, but later Section Chief Hu said hello, so let him take it. Anyway, if you report it, and there is a limit every month, you don’t have to worry about it.
It would be worth a lot of money to sell this thing, but it wouldn't be.
When the last car of sugar slag is full, the remaining sugar slag is not enough for a car when it comes out, and it is almost time to get off work. Song Ming asked to put the sugar slag in the pool and wait until tomorrow will come to pull it, and he will drive it himself He took the truck and pulled the sugar slag out of the back door. Seeing this, Li Long drove the car to lead the way in front. When he pulled it all the way to Li Xia's yard, the truck was basically not very watery.
Li Long parked the jeep in front of the road outside the yard to make room for the truck. After getting off the car, he quickly went to open the door. Song Ming knew what to do as soon as he saw the situation. He adjusted and poured the truck into the yard.
Li Xia hurried out when she heard the news. When she saw Li Long, she knew what was going on when she saw the truck.
The truck was parked, and Li Long went up and went down the sack. This thing could not be thrown away. Song Ming helped to follow the wall on the feed side. After the ten sacks were put, Li Xia also cut the watermelon and took it out.
"Sister, you can sweep out a piece of sugar slag tomorrow morning and it has to be dried. You can't put so much in a sack, it will be damaged." "Okay, I understand." Li Xia nodded. .
Li Long and his friends left the yard after eating the melon and drove to Ma County.
These sugar slags were finally unloaded to Uncle Luo. After Li Long and the others arrived, they went to call a few laborers to help unload the truck. Uncle Luo specially cleaned a piece of the place to remove the sugar slag and pile it up, and prepared to make it dry these days.
When Li Long returned to the city, he wanted to invite Song Ming to a meal. Song Ming was in a hurry to go home and refused. He made some money in advance today and thought about going home to share it with his family.
Thinking about how much more money was suddenly spent this month, I was so excited that I no longer felt hungry.
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to earn an additional 100 yuan a month when their salary is about fifty yuan.
Li Long could understand Song Ming's mood, so he didn't keep him anymore and drove his jeep back to the big yard.
Ms. Yang left food for him, and Li Long simply washed it and started eating.
I did a lot of work today. I was tired and hungry, so I ate more. (This chapter ends)
