Chapter 192: The fool who doesn't want the establishment

The next morning, Li Long was woken up by Tao Daqiang knocking on the window.

He rubbed his face and said to Tao Daqiang outside the window:

"You take the tire first, I'll be out in a minute."

In April, it was still a bit cool in the room, and even cooler outside, but young people had strong vitality. Tao Daqiang just wore a jacket and a vest, took the tire from the shed by the Li house, squeezed it, saw it was still full of air, and carried it to the yard gate, waiting for Li Long.

Li Long came out dressed, and was awakened by the cool air outside, saying:

"Let's go."

He was wearing worn-out cloth shoes; he would get them wet in a while, so wearing new shoes would be a waste. He followed Tao Daqiang's pace, and the two talked intermittently as they walked toward Little Haizi.

Looking back after leaving the team, he saw someone already picking up manure on the road in the distance. Li Long guessed it was likely Wang Cai Mi. This person was becoming more and more diligent.

Arriving at Little Haizi, Tao Daqiang took the initiative to ask to take the nets this time.

"Brother Long, don't worry, this time I'll definitely be careful. Even if there are big fish, I won't go to hug them again." Tao Daqiang promised Li Long repeatedly before Li Long agreed to let him take the tire.

Six nets, the time to take the nets wasn't long, and Li Long didn't dare to be careless, just watching Tao Daqiang pull the nets and walk inside.

Previously, Tao Daqiang was slapped into the water by a big fish, and later Li Long analyzed for him how to avoid similar things. If he encountered a big fish again, he should learn to use the net to trap the big fish.

Tao Daqiang was full of hope to try it out today, but today with six nets, the biggest fish caught was only a bighead carp of over three kilograms.

Tao Daqiang was a bit disappointed, but Li Long was quite happy. It was fine to come back safely; otherwise, it wouldn't be comfortable to get his clothes wet now.

When Tao Daqiang came ashore, Li Long weighed the bag. These six nets caught forty or fifty kilograms of fish.

Not much, but it was okay.

The two talked and laughed, carrying the tire and the fish bag back to the Li house.

After sorting the fish, Tao Daqiang went home, and Li Long packed the fish and the water rat pelts and musk, rode his bike with Li Juan, and after dropping Li Juan off at elementary school, he headed straight for the county town. After taking the basin and scale from the yard, he came to the free market.

It had been a while since he set up a stall in the county, and Li Long was surprised to find that there were more and more people setting up stalls in the market. Now the market stalls stretched more than twice as long as before.

It's estimated that in a while, someone will come to manage it, right? At that time, those who don't want to pay the stall fee will set up another stove and start a free market elsewhere.

Li Long guessed while finding a good spot on the edge of the market, parked the bike, took the basin, poured the fish, and then shouted loudly.

Along the way, he had already seen four or five people selling fish. Some were the kind who caught a few kilograms of crucian carp in small river ditches and came to sell, some were like Li Long who used nets to catch dozens of kilograms of fish to sell, and some were more like fishery employees coming to sell fish.

Li Long had already mastered the technique, and he shouted loudly:

"Selling fish! Wild golden crucian carp from Little Haizi, fresh wild crucian carp!"

At this time, no one had mentioned the term golden crucian carp. Li Long shouted like this, and soon attracted many people.

Although most people were watching the fun, there were also those who saw that Li Long's fish were beautiful and couldn't help but want to buy.

"Crucian carp currency is eight mao per kilogram, carp and five-striped black are one yuan, silver carp is nine mao," Li Long shouted loudly, "Don't reach into the basin to pull, so as not to make the fish die and not fresh. If everyone has opinions, please consciously line up!"

Some old customers complained:

"Young man, you haven't come to sell fish for some days, we've been waiting for you for many days!"

Li Long took a look, it was a woman in her sixties, so he said with a smile:

"Auntie, I went to Shicheng to sell fish a few days ago, isn't this here now? Do you want crucian carp or carp? For you, an old customer, I'll give you a discount!"

"Young man knows how to do business, I want two yuan of crucian carp to make soup!"

"Alright!" Li Long immediately took the scale to weigh the fish. "The scale is high, and I'll add one more, how about that?"

Li Long's enthusiastic attitude, plus the recommendation of old customers, made his fish sell out in less than an hour.

Less than fifty kilograms of fish sold for forty-two yuan and eight mao.

Satisfied, he packed up and left. The big head was still behind.

Putting down the scale and basin, Li Long took the water rat pelts and three musk bags to the purchasing station.

The pelts from yesterday were still drying at home.

Chen Hongjun looked at the nine pelts Li Long brought, calculated them one by one. The largest pelt was eleven yuan, the smallest was seven yuan, and finally, it calculated to seventy-three yuan. Three musk bags, two of which were fifteen, one was fourteen, forty-four yuan. Total one hundred and seventeen yuan.

Among them, four pelts and one musk bag were to be split with Tao Daqiang. Li Long calculated separately, these four pelts were more expensive, thirty-nine yuan, plus the musk bag fifty-four, he could split Tao Daqiang twenty-seven.

The ones at home were another matter.

Li Long thought about going hunting in the mountains in two days. If he could get prey back, if he cooked it in a big pot, he would need to buy some seasonings, and then some necessary daily items, including pots and the like.

He went to the supply and marketing cooperative store to buy some things, packed them in a big bag. The pot couldn't be packed, so he buckled it on the back seat of the bike.

When he came out of the store and bypassed the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, the gatekeeper, Grandpa Li, saw it and immediately ran out shouting:

"Little Li, Comrade Little Li!"

Li Long heard the voice and turned back, got off the bike at the gate, and asked:

"Grandpa Li, what's the matter?"

"You haven't been here for a while."

"I came, you weren't there when I came." Li Long said with a smile. He thought Grandpa Li just saw him and wanted to say hello and chat a few words, but he didn't expect Grandpa Li to say:

"Today there was a phone call to us, specifically because of your matter... Did you help catch someone in Shicheng? Someone called to thank you, and later said they would send you a letter of appreciation! That kid Xiangqian said he called your village, but couldn't find you. Did you really catch a bad guy?"

"Is it cleared up over there so quickly?" Li Long was also a bit surprised. "Yeah, I went to Shicheng to sell fish, and a few people extorted me, but I caught them. It seems one of them killed someone in the mouth and came over..."

"You are this!" Grandpa Li gave a thumbs up. "Don't go, leave the bike there, I'll call Xiangqian now, he's in a hurry to find you."

"No need, no need, I'll just go in and find him." Li Long said to Grandpa Li, went to the bike shed to park the bike, and went into the purchasing department to find Li Xiangqian. Li Xiangqian was pacing back and forth in the office. Seeing Li Long come, he was also startled, then smiled and pulled Li Long in:

"Little Long, this time you really gave our purchasing department face! The Reclamation Public Security Bureau called to specifically thank you for helping them solve this case—a murder case! And it's a gang, you're famous this time! I'm also basking in the glory!"

Li Long sat down, Li Xiangqian poured tea for Li Long, sat opposite him, and said:

"Little Long, tell me about this matter carefully. Today the director wants me to report the situation, and I'm also confused. You say, you, an outside purchasing agent, can do such a big thing, where should those formal purchasing agents put their faces.

But to be honest, our purchasing department is hard-working, but usually, we don't have such big face, and we are often complained about. Today, when your matter came out, everyone in our department has light on their faces, and the director also said, just because of this matter, your outside status can be removed, and you will be given a formal one directly, how about that?"

Actually, this formal establishment was proposed by Li Xiangqian while the director was happy, not by the director, but Li Xiangqian didn't say it clearly.

He fully thought that Li Long would be very happy to hear this news. Li Long thought for a while, but shook his head and said:

"No, Section Chief, I'd better stay outside. I don't want this formal establishment."

"What?" Li Xiangqian thought he heard wrong. "This is a position that others break their heads to grab! You have to know, these establishments are one person one pit. If it weren't for someone retiring, the director couldn't make the decision, how could it be your turn? How can you not want it?"

Li Xiangqian proposed it to the director at the time, not only to owe a favor, but also to have a real expression.

But thinking about the benefits Li Long brought, Li Xiangqian felt it was worth it.

!.

After all, Li Long is a reasonable person. When things are determined, he knows the situation and won't let himself spend money in vain.

It's just that I didn't expect Li Long to not want this establishment!

This is no less than a fool's behavior in anyone's eyes now!

The problem is Li Long is not a modern person.

What he wants is freedom. If he really enters this establishment, it's equivalent to Sun Wukong wearing a tight hoop, and his daily actions must be controlled by others.

And the supply and marketing cooperative can still be prosperous for more than ten years, and later it will "disappear among the people", and even before the end of this century, a batch of supply and marketing cooperatives will be dissolved directly.

What will I do then?

He is still thinking about finally contracting a piece of land in the production team, and then moving to the lifestyle of later generations, joining the cooperative, taking dividends, and being a retired farmer.

That's so comfortable!

The purchasing agents now all have purchasing tasks! Some even have to be stationed abroad, or run abroad for a long time, this is not the life Li Long wants.

So facing the benefits proposed by Li Xiangqian, Li Long still refused decisively.

"Really don't want this establishment?" Li Xiangqian confirmed again. "If you miss this village, there won't be this shop. I tell you, Little Long, this establishment is really very coincidental. If it weren't for this time, even if I wanted to help you enter the establishment and set a post, it would be impossible without spending thousands of yuan."

Li Long smiled:

"Section Chief, I really don't want to be trapped. The status of this outside purchasing agent is quite good now."

"Alright then." Although Li Xiangqian couldn't figure out why Li Long would have such a fool's behavior, everyone has their own ambitions, and Li Long not occupying this establishment is also good for him. He doesn't need to fight head-on with other leaders in the cooperative. After all, there are many people staring at this establishment. Although the director promised him, his pressure is not small.

"Then you have any requirements, you can put them forward." Li Xiangqian said with a smile. "Don't worry, with this thank-you call now, plus the thank-you letter later, as long as it's not too excessive, the cooperative can agree."

Even the establishment is not wanted, what excessive requirements can there be? Li Xiangqian said this very easily.

"Then... get me two more tires?" Li Long thought for a while and said, "I've been catching fish these days, that one tire has no guarantee."

"What kind of condition is this?" Li Xiangqian felt Li Long was a bit petty. "How about this, I'll count you as a temporary worker establishment, you have a salary a month, of course, it's not much money, ten or so yuan, it's nothing to you, but the benefits of the supply and marketing cooperative, I'll bring them all to you. No tasks, I just need you to cooperate and do well what I need you to do here."

"In the spring, your task of lifting the handle is better completed, and in the autumn, there are big broom tasks, weaving reed mats, etc. You can see the sporadic tasks that can be done in the countryside. At that time, you can see, complete a few tasks every year, and your work will be considered completed."

Li Long was overjoyed when he heard it:

"Okay, then I'll take the big broom in the autumn, this is definitely no problem!"

"Good. For tires and the like, I'll write you a note, and you can go to the backyard garage to collect them in a while. It's no problem to collect three or five old tires."

Li Long thanked him hurriedly.

"And the part-time forest ranger thing you want. Today with this matter, and you don't want to enter the establishment, then I'm good to mention it to the director.

My face is not very useful over at the forestry team, but the director's face is definitely given. In three or five days, no more than a week, this matter should be down. Come over in a few days, and this matter will be almost done."

Li Long was also very happy. He solved a thief gang easily, and didn't expect so many good results to come out.

Sure enough, do good deeds and don't ask about the future. I don't know how it will be in the next few decades, but at least for now, it's quite useful.

He naturally didn't know that it was actually when he was leaving that he came back and handed those wallets to the two public security comrades, which made the two comrades very touched and wrote this matter in great detail. And the Reclamation Public Security Bureau was also very touched, writing him as a typical example. That is, Li Long is not from the reclamation area. Otherwise, he would definitely be pulled to the assembly to be commended now.

Such a person can definitely be a model!

"Little Long, have you been into the mountains during this time?" After finishing the business, Li Xiangqian walked to the door and looked left and right, then whispered to Li Long.

"I was in the mountains a while ago, and I haven't been into the mountains since I finished the handle. I plan to go in in two days."

"What are you going for, hunting?" Li Xiangqian's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Half and half." Li Long said truthfully, "My friend in the mountains built me a wooden house. I made some furniture with wood in the township and want to send it in, and I also want to go into the mountains to see if I can catch anything."

"I just wanted to say this matter. Have you encountered red deer in the mountains, I mean the male kind?" Li Xiangqian's eyes were a bit complicated.

"I encountered it," Li Long still felt a bit sorry when he said this, "That red deer was really almost as big as a horse, the antlers must be half a person high. I took a small caliber, hit it, but it's a pity the power was too small, it ran away..."

"Ay, that's a pity!" Li Xiangqian slapped his thigh when he heard the shape of the deer and heard Li Long say he didn't hit it: "That small caliber power is not good!"

"That's what I said, it's okay to hit small animals." Li Long said, and hurriedly made up for it. After all, this small caliber was given to him by Li Xiangqian, "It's no problem to hit yellow sheep, etc., mainly because that big red deer is too big!"

Li Xiangqian didn't care about this at all, what he cared about was that big red deer!

It has been over twenty days since this book was published. The daily update volume has been decent, and everyone has provided many valuable opinions and suggestions. Many readers have mentioned that the female lead is written a bit thinly; this is a matter of my writing ability and experience, which I will gradually fill in and strengthen.

The manuscript is gradually exhausted, but I am still working hard to code words. In the hot summer, everyone should pay attention to heatstroke prevention.
