Chapter 1006: The snow is getting heavier, this winter is a bit difficult

After Li Long drove the jeep into the main compound, he still had lingering fears.

Guns were not hard to get in this day and age. If those two people had held guns instead of short knives and steel pipes, he would probably have been finished.

Must be careful, can't be so reckless in the future.

Gu Xiaoxia and Gu Bo Yuan hadn't returned yet. Li Long drained the water in the jeep, played with Mingming and Haohao for a while, and when he heard the gate outside, he went out to see that it was Han Fang who had returned.

Later, Gu Bo Yuan and Gu Xiaoxia returned one after another, and Sister Yang had finished the meal, so they ate together.

Li Long didn't mention being robbed and ate with peace of mind. He thought he would wait until the Public Security Bureau had the results of the interrogation. He wasn't sure if this was specifically aimed at him or if those two people were just waiting for someone to rob randomly.

If it was the former, had he been a bit too high-profile in the past two years?

Not necessarily, right?

When he got up the next day, it was overcast outside. Weather forecasts weren't that accurate at this time; yesterday's forecast was cloudy, but it was overcast when he got up this morning. Not long after breakfast, it started to snow.

The snowflakes were relatively large at first, drifting down, and soon covered the ground. Sister Yang finished cleaning up the kitchen, looked at the sky, and felt worried:

"It's starting again. How long has it been? This is the third snowfall in a row, and this one looks quite heavy too."

"It's probably heavier than the last one." Li Long took Mingming and Haohao to put on their clothes and go to the greenhouse, saying as they walked, "Clearing snow is still troublesome."

The agricultural machinery factory's production based on his design drawings wouldn't be smooth sailing. Although he tried his best to write down some key parts and materials when designing, the debugging and production of this thing needed to be done step by step.

The production technology of the eighties couldn't be compared with that of twenty or thirty years later, so it couldn't be rushed. In the short term, snow clearing still had to rely on individuals.

However, the snow fell slowly. Li Long mainly took Mingming and Haohao to the greenhouse to take care of things there. Now that the vegetable seedlings had grown, every time after it snowed, Li Long would clear the snow on the glass roof to let the sunlight in. At night, for warmth, besides burning the stove and the heated floor, he had to add a layer of mats on the glass greenhouse.

This thing was often used on greenhouses in later generations; long cotton mats or straw mats tied with ropes were rolled down at night to cover the greenhouse for warmth, and pulled up during the day to ensure sunlight could shine into the greenhouse.

Of course, there were integrated electric ones later, but that couldn't be made for the time being.

Seeing it was snowing, Li Long didn't put down the curtains, just turned on the lights in the greenhouse, set up the stove again, and then watered the vegetable beds that were short of water.

The snow got heavier and heavier. After Li Long finished the work in the greenhouse, he came to the front courtyard, let Mingming and Haohao go in, and he intended to sweep the snow.

The two children didn't want to go into the house and wanted to be with Li Long. Li Long gave each of them a small broom to mess around with, and he started sweeping the snow in the courtyard himself.

Sister Yang went to buy vegetables and returned. Seeing Li Long sweeping snow, she also wanted to come and help. Li Long told her to busy herself with the work in the kitchen and not to worry about this.

"This snow is so heavy..." Sister Yang was a bit worried.

"It's okay, sweep some first, it will be easier to sweep later. Anyway, I have nothing to do now, just treat it as exercise." Li Long said while sweeping, "By the way, let Mingming and Haohao exercise too."

"A child not even three years old, what exercise?" Sister Yang complained, but seeing Mingming and Haohao sweeping in a decent manner, she didn't say anything more and went into the kitchen to prepare the meal.

After Li Long swept the thin snow in the courtyard, he and the two children all became snowmen.

He took the children up the steps to the entrance of the main room, let the children wait, went to get a towel to wipe the snow off the children, wiped the snow off himself, and felt much warmer after entering the house.

Mingming and Haohao were also tired. After changing their clothes, they quietly played with chess pieces in the house—of course, not playing chess, just taking the chess pieces and slapping them there.

Li Long had just sat down when someone knocked on the door outside. Although separated by the door, Li Long's hearing was very good. He went out immediately and saw that Sister Yang had already shouted for the person outside to come in.

Guo Tiebing.

Seeing Li Long, he greeted Sister Yang and walked over.

"Is it convenient? Can we talk inside?" Guo Tiebing asked.

"Let's talk inside." Li Long let Sister Yang continue her preparation and took Guo Tiebing into the inner room himself.

Seeing Guo Tiebing, the two children were stunned for a moment, so Li Long said:

"Say hello to Uncle."

"Hello, Uncle!"

"Hello, Uncle!" It was rare for the two children to have such clear pronunciation. After both shouted, they continued to play.

Li Long took Guo Tiebing into the inner room.

"It has been interrogated clearly; it was aimed at you." Guo Tiebing said, "Two wandering criminals, who robbed two people in Beiting, fled to our side, heard that you were relatively rich in the county, and often went to the Fourth Team in winter, so they specifically waited for you there."

"Specifically waiting for me? Where did they live?" Li Long was a bit surprised, "They couldn't have lived under a bridge, right?"

"Hmm, lived in a broken kiln, right by the roadside." Guo Tiebing said, "We have already searched it; there are quilts they stole there. When these two people committed crimes in Beiting, they caused one death and one injury, creating a vicious case.

It's just that these two guys were too careful. After committing the crime in Beiting, they immediately fled to our county, did some petty theft here, then inquired about intelligence, and finally set their target on you."

"Didn't expect..." Li Long didn't expect that such a thing would eventually fall on his own head.

"But it was also luck; you happened to run into both of them, and you knocked them down and dragged them back. They had no accomplices, just wandering criminals, and they fell into your hands."

Guo Tiebing smiled and continued:

"It was also their bad luck. They thought that a rich person like you might value your life more, and they had heard some of your deeds, thinking you might be relatively kind, so they pulled this off. Didn't expect you to observe carefully and knock them down directly.

This is a big case. Our leader said he still wants to thank you. However, if there is a reward, it won't be made public, so as not to bring you trouble.

In addition, our Public Security Bureau attaches great importance to this matter and reported it directly to the county's top leader. The county was also very surprised, and then said that a major investigation would be conducted recently—you are an extraordinary representative figure in our county, and even you were targeted, how can that be?"

Li Long nodded. This was the special treatment of a celebrity, right?

But because of himself, a major investigation would be conducted, would it be too much of a fuss?

"Not just because of you. Think about it, only three years have passed, and some people are restless. How can this be? If we don't severely dampen the arrogant spirit of those people, the common people won't have an easy life."

Li Long understood immediately. His incident was just a trigger; more importantly, it was to clear up the social atmosphere in Maxian County. Recently, he had also heard Sister Yang say that thieves had appeared on the streets again, and occasionally there would be group fights in the market, not as peaceful as before.

After Guo Tiebing finished speaking, he left. Li Long accompanied Mingming and Haohao while thinking about this matter.

It was just that his eyesight was good, his vigilance was okay, and his strength was greater than ordinary people; otherwise, he would have really been easily tricked.

Must be doubly careful in the future.

Just before dinner, the phone rang. Li Long answered it, and Li Xiangqian's voice came from the other side:

"Little Li, I heard you were robbed? How is the situation? I see the county attaches great importance to it."

"It's okay, it's okay. Just went back to the village yesterday afternoon, and then ran into it. It's okay, I caught them."

"Okay, come over this afternoon, let's talk in detail." Li Xiangqian said.

After lunch, Mingming and Haohao fell asleep, and Gu Xiaoxia went to work. Li Long waited for Sister Yang to finish cleaning up, handed Mingming and Haohao over to her, and then drove to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Originally thought that driving was too ostentatious, otherwise he wouldn't have attracted those two guys, but thinking that it was impossible to have an accident in the county, he continued to drive over.

Mainly because he was used to driving, and it was so cold and snowing. ===== CHAPTER 1007 =====
