Chapter 1040: Xu Chengjun's Anger Sprayed on Some People's Faces

~11 min read 2,015 words

Flood prevention in residential areas is naturally the focus. Now most of the farmland is empty, and a small amount of winter wheat is not afraid of flooding, so when the flood comes, the most worrying thing is the residential area.

"The second point is that after the spring snow melts, every household must contribute public labor. We must clear the flood-prevention canals on both sides of Little Haizi, and Old Li, you have to drive the tractor to push the north dam line thicker... Your tractor, twenty work points a day, how about that?"

"No problem," Li Jianguo nodded.

He could say he didn't want work points in front of Li Long, but in the team, especially what the team leader said at the villager representative meeting, he wouldn't be humble and push it away. This is his own interest, and he should fight for it if he should.

Unlike Li Long's idea that everyone is good in the village, in fact, when the village holds a representative meeting, many things will be buried by others if you don't fight for them.

The Fourth Team has good places, and some places, the peasant-style cunning and shortsightedness cannot be absent.

"I also made it clear to you that the focus of our flood prevention this year is Little Haizi and the residential area. Of course, the reed ditch bridge is the same," Xu Chengjun emphasized, "Don't think this is a small matter.

You all know how heavy the snow was this winter. This time I don't want any money. All the young and strong people in each household must come over. I will call the roll by then. If you don't come, the work points I deduct will not be one or two days!

If you don't come, then don't think about any good things in the team in the future, just wait in the back!"

As soon as he said this, some people were immediately unhappy. The representative of the east residential area couldn't help but say:

"Wasn't that Little Haizi contracted by Li Long? Shouldn't he be the one to do the flood prevention? He earned a lot of money from Little Haizi before, right? Now shouldn't he take it out to repair the dam outside Little Haizi?"

"What do you mean?" Li Jianguo turned his head to look at him: "Xu Blind, do you think Little Haizi is our family's? If you want the people in your east area to agree that Little Haizi is our family's, then I tell you, you don't have to worry about the flood prevention of Little Haizi!

Little Haizi is contracted by our Li Long, didn't your family eat the fish inside? Your brother-in-law caught fish in Little Haizi for several summers, you pretend you don't know, right?..."

"Li Jianguo, don't scold people because you are old..." Xu Blind's face suddenly turned red, "I'm not targeting your family, I'm just telling the truth! Little Haizi is not public now, why should everyone contribute labor for flood prevention? I just want a fair word..."

"Fair your mother..." Li Jianguo wouldn't listen to his fart, stood up, turned around, and was about to do it.

"Old Li, sit down!" Xu Chengjun was angry, "Xu Youdao, shut your mouth!"

Xu Chengjun was angry, so Li Jianguo sat down. He didn't really want to fight, just to show his attitude. Although the Li family only had him in the team, they were not easy to bully!

"Xu Youdao, what I said is a task, not something to discuss with you!" Seeing that both of them sat down, Xu Chengjun felt that his distant relative's brain was really kicked by a donkey. If you said it privately, I could explain it to you, but revealing it at the meeting, aren't you looking for a scolding?

Anyway, he thought that someone would definitely lift it, no matter who it was, it would just hit the muzzle, although it was considered his relative, there was no way, who let you be stupid yourself?

"Little Haizi was contracted by Li Long, but it is still the team's! You rent a house to others, the house is on fire, you don't go to help extinguish the fire, are you waiting for the tenant to extinguish it?

Besides, didn't your family use the water of Little Haizi? The ten acres of land you reclaimed last year, I tell you there is no water this year, are you willing or not?

Do you know that the water allocated to our team by the water management station above is limited? If you reclaim more land, you have to use the water in Little Haizi to irrigate it! If you plan to plant dry land this year, then you don't have to worry about it!

Also! I tell you, over the years, how much money-making work Li Long has given our team! If you have no conscience and say you haven't earned money from Li Long, then you can also openly say that you don't have to go!

Of course, if you dare to say that now, I can let Old Li tell Li Long now, you don't have to do the work of tying big brooms this year! I heard that you are planning to plant melon seeds this year, do you know who collects all the melon seeds in our county?"

Xu Chengjun didn't mind threatening people at all, and he did it to their faces!

"If you want to earn other people's money, but you think this work is other people's own and you don't want to do it, how can there be such a good thing? Besides, this matter is the team's decision! What, do you want to go against the team? Do you want to rebel, or do you want to move your household registration out of the team?

As long as you do one of these two things, I recognize you are powerful! How about it, which one do you choose?"

Xu Chengjun's words, with his saliva, sprayed directly on Xu Youdao's face. Xu Youdao clearly had a fire in his heart, but he dared not say anything!

He was afraid that if he refuted again, Xu Chengjun could slap him in the face with a shoe sole—although in terms of seniority, he was higher than Xu Chengjun.

But with Xu Chengjun's blunt personality, combined with the temper he had developed in the army, he didn't dare.

Besides, he really had nothing to say—he was a bit shortsighted and couldn't see that far at all.

As soon as Xu Chengjun said it, he understood. Yes! Every year, tying big brooms, basically everyone in the team can earn a few hundred to a thousand yuan.

The melon seeds and sunflower seeds planted every year can sell for a good price. Isn't that all organized by Li Long?

If there were no Li Long, could he earn so much money?

But... there is always a bit of discomfort in the heart?

Of course, no one explained this to him at this time. This emotion is called jealousy, seeing that others are better than themselves.

"This is not only for Xu Youdao, but also for the whole team!" Seeing that Xu Youdao stopped talking, Xu Chengjun turned his head and said: "I tell you, this Little Haizi is a treasure land of our team! With it, the wasteland reclaimed by our team can be irrigated, and if people in our team want to eat fish, they can go directly inside to catch them.

Don't tell me about Big Haizi. Big Haizi doesn't belong to our team. We only occupy the south bank. People have names, and you can hear from the names that they don't belong to us. We can just keep Little Haizi!"

This matter was just revealed, Xu Blind was scolded for nothing, but he could only listen in a gray way.

Xu Chengjun arranged some tasks again. Anyway, after spring, the main canals in the team and the branch canals south of the residential area must be cleared to ensure smooth flow. If the flood rushes down, it can flow downstream at once without affecting the safety of the residential area.

If this is done well, the next things will be easy to handle.

Li Jianguo, who returned home, said directly to Liang Yuemei:

"This meeting, the team is very supportive, but some people are jumping around! Xu Youdao's family, I won't plow the land this year! Damn it, they want us to do the work, and they want to push the flood prevention of Little Haizi to Xiao Long. How can there be such an unreasonable person!"

He doesn't care whether it's reasonable or not, but if he has a little power in his hand, if others make him uncomfortable, he can pay it back well!

Liang Yuemei also scolded a few words, knowing that the team can treat everyone equally and cares very much about Li Long's feelings, so she felt relieved.

Li Long didn't know that such a thing happened in the team, and he planned to take the truck into the mountains again.

It was mainly to take advantage of the fact that the snow in the mountains hadn't melted yet, and he had to get another batch of cattle and sheep back—Zhao Hui and Huang Lei both called, saying that the batch of beef and mutton jerky had been sold out in just over ten days!

There are a lot of people who want it!

Li Long was really a bit surprised. Theoretically, the price of this beef jerky is quite expensive, and it can be considered a high-end snack, so it shouldn't be sold very quickly.

But it was sold out in such a short time, which only shows that the purchasing power of ordinary people is slowly rising. Even if one person buys a little to taste, in such a large market, several hundred kilograms of jerky can be digested quickly.

So Li Long went to the mountains first, greeted Huang Yang and the others, and drove the truck into the mountains the next day.

This time, because the snow at the foot of the mountain had started to melt, it was impossible to make a lot of beef and mutton jerky at once, so Li Long asked for ten sheep and one cow that had been slaughtered, and the rest were live ones, which he planned to slaughter and make slowly after pulling them back.

In the mountains, Huang Yang told Li Long one thing.

"After the weather got a bit hotter, one day, a pack of wolves ran past my winter shelter, and there was something chasing behind them. It looked like a tiger, but it was too fast, and I couldn't catch up at all... It was too big, that tiger was much bigger than the one we got before!"

As soon as Huang Yang said this, Li Long immediately thought of the tiger whose half ear he had shot off. Could it be it?

The weather was getting hotter, and this guy hasn't gone into the Tianshan Mountains yet? Outside, I'm afraid there are many dangers, right?

He thought about whether he should take time to stay in the mountains for one or two nights, but then thought about it and gave up.

Firstly, he was too busy, and secondly, that thing was still relatively dangerous. He shouldn't think about it for a short time.

As for the materials on the tiger, Li Long didn't need them very much now. He had everything at home, so he should honestly stay in the county.

Pulling a truckload of slaughtered and trimmed beef and mutton, and two trucks of live cattle and sheep, Li Long went down the mountain.

The beef and mutton were pulled to the large courtyard, and Sister Yang started to do it directly. Li Long temporarily hired two people, which was helped by Zhong Guo Qiang, retired canteen staff, and paid ten yuan a day temporarily. ===== CHAPTER 1041 =====
