Chapter 215: Watch him build a high building, watch him collapse
In the afternoon, when Li Long and Tao Dayong went to the Little Haizi to set nets, they ran into Wang Cai Mi.
Li Qing Xia didn't go, or rather, Du Chunfang didn't let Li Qing Xia go. Liang Wenyu wanted to make clothes for them, so Du Chunfang let Li Qing Xia stay at home.
Li Long guessed it should be the vegetables Li Qing Xia bought back, and then Du Chunfang asked where the money came from after eating lunch. After knowing Li Long gave Li Qing Xia money every time, Du Chunfang didn't let Li Qing Xia come.
Afraid that the youngest son would divide all the money, and wouldn't be able to save money to take a wife.
Of course, this was just Li Long's guess.
When the two arrived at the Little Haizi, they saw Wang Cai Mi and Meng Zhiqiang, the two of them, on the east bank of the Little Haizi, setting nets along the shore.
They saw Li Long and Tao Dayong carrying the tire over, and smiled awkwardly in the water.
Wang Cai Mi took the initiative to greet:
"Without Xiao Long, you guys came to set nets? This tire—is it to set nets in deep water?"
"Yes." Li Long smiled and said, "There are fish in shallow water, but not many. There are many fish in deep water. By the way, there are water beetles in the water now, they bite people and itch, you guys just come out after setting the nets."
"Alright, alright." Wang Cai Mi nodded repeatedly.
Li Long and Tao Dayong carried the tire, brought the basin and nets to the southeast bank, chose a suitable place, and pushed the tire into the water.
It was still Li Long setting the nets. He first went to a place more than ten meters from the shore to set the basin, and then started looking for waterways to set nets.
Wang Cai Mi and Meng Zhiqiang watched Li Long go to the waterway thirty or forty meters from the shore to set nets, and only envy was in their hearts.
Setting nets on the shore still had risks. If someone secretly came at night to take the nets away, they would have nowhere to cry.
Li Long set the nets so deep, it was relatively difficult to take the nets. The water there was two or three meters deep. Even if you swam over to take the nets, it wouldn't be convenient to come back.
People are afraid of trouble.
Meng Zhiqiang also saw this point and asked Wang Cai Mi:
"Dalu, do you still set nets here?"
"Then what to do, we don't have a tire." Wang Cai Mi said helplessly, "It's already reached the chest here, and it reaches the neck if you go further, then how to set nets? Forget it, just here."
The two clumsily put the nets into the water bit by bit. It was their first time setting nets, so after putting the nets into the water, they tied one end to the reed pole under the water here, and tied the other end to the grass root at the edge of another waterway.
The two cleverly thought that setting nets like this would be like a river-blocking dam net, directly sticking to the fish passing by.
When they finished setting the nets, they found that Li Long's nets had already been set, and the tire was on the shore. Li Long and Tao Dayong had already packed up and were ready to go back.
So fast?
Wang Cai Mi was a bit puzzled and had the heart to ask, so after Li Long came over, he asked:
"Without Xiao Long, how many nets did you set, why so fast?"
"Six." Li Long said, "I set six nets."
"So many? You set them so fast?" Wang Cai Mi didn't believe it at first, then thought, people didn't need to lie to him.
"Then what size net eyes are they?" Meng Zhiqiang was most concerned about the net eye problem, worried that the nets he set wouldn't catch fish.
"From two fingers to five fingers, all have." Li Long said, "Big net eyes catch big fish, small net eyes catch small fish. Those people in the city don't just like big fish, there are also those who like small fish."
"So that's it." Wang Cai Mi was slightly relieved, the net eyes of the nets he took should be no problem.
The four of them walked towards the team together.
When they were almost home, Wang Cai Mi remembered and asked:
"Without Xiao Long, what time do you guys get up to take the nets tomorrow?"
"Six or seven o'clock." Li Long said, "Don't look at the time much. We set many nets, so we have to get up early and sort the fish early."
"That's true. Sorting fish is also a troublesome thing."
"Mhm, quite troublesome." Li Long nodded.
Tao Dayong also nodded.
Yesterday noon when he went back, he told Tao Jian She Li Long's words. Although Tao Jian She was relieved and expressed approval for Tao Dayong not taking the five yuan, he still held a skeptical attitude towards Li Long's optimistic attitude.
But this matter, Li Long had the right to speak. Tao Jian She admitted that he had done something wrong, and he had no other good way, so he could only listen to Li Long and look forward.
Today Wang Cai Mi and the others talked to Li Long, Tao Dayong didn't say a word from beginning to end, afraid of saying something wrong again, causing trouble again, then he really wouldn't be able to redeem himself even if he died a hundred times.
Actually, in Tao Dayong's view, setting nets now is simple, but it's considered difficult for them to pick up the nets tomorrow. Of course, Tao Dayong wouldn't say this, he had to let these people explore it themselves.
Tao Dayong was also a person who had come over, knowing that free experience, these people wouldn't cherish it, only after they bumped their heads and bled would they believe it.
Li Long had already told Tao Dayong when he went to the Little Haizi that he met Wang Cai Mi in the morning, and also told them some experience, but whether they remembered it or not was hard to say.
Returning home, Li Long just put the things down, and was called to the spare room by Liang Wenyu. Mother Du Chunfang was also here, and the two were comparing to measure Li Long's figure, wanting to make a set of clothes for Li Long.
Li Long didn't refuse either. Giving blindly, sometimes you have to accept the good intentions of family members.
After measuring the figure, Li Long took the basket, rode his bicycle, and went to the fields, planning to get some pig grass.
Those few pigs at home had grown a lot and were hungry very quickly. If it weren't for the few mu of feed land assigned by the family, relying solely on cutting pig grass, it would be very difficult to satisfy them.
He rode directly to the feed land. The main crop here was sugar beets, which had already grown up. Although not big, it was completely no problem to break off some leaves on the edge. They would continue to grow.
Li Long parked the bicycle at the edge of the field, went in to look, and found that the water had just been watered not long ago, the ground was a bit damp, but it wouldn't bring mud.
The sugar beets were growing well, the seedlings had been thinned long ago, and there were few weeds in the field. It could be seen that the work in the eldest brother and sister-in-law's fields was quite meticulous.
Li Long walked in a few rows and started holding the basket to break the sugar beet leaves.
Just breaking, he heard someone shouting at the edge of the field:
"Without Xiao Long, what are you doing?"
Li Long straightened his waist, put a handful of sugar beet leaves in his hand into the basket, and when he looked out, he found it was Gu Zhixin from the team, a man in his forties. Although he was about the same age as Li Jianguo, he came to the team relatively late.
This Gu Zhixin was related to Gu Ermao's family, and their family and Li family were not in the same residential point, so the relationship between the two families was not familiar.
"Get some sugar beet leaves as pig grass." Li Long said, "You finished the work in the fields? Fast speed."
"Yes." Gu Zhixin smiled and said, "Working in your own fields, the energy is different. My family's sunflowers grew well this year, can hit quite a lot in autumn, this year there is no worry about eating oil."
"That's good." Li Long responded perfunctorily, "Sister-in-law? Didn't go to work together?" "Went, she went back to cook first." Gu Zhixin replied, and said again: "Still your family is good, not only has grain fields, but also this feed land. I heard that this vegetable sub-group land is considered the best land in our team. When it was planted with vegetables at the beginning, the manure from the horse corral in the team was all applied to it..."
"That was exchanged by my brother raising a few pigs." Li Long heard the sourness in Gu Zhixin's words, and he was a bit displeased, and retorted lightly:
"Actually, look, there are still quite a lot of lands in this vegetable sub-group, your family go catch a few pigs, report to the team, and you can also divide five mu of land."
"Really?" Gu Zhixin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "What you said is true?"
"That's for sure, otherwise how did I get this land?" Li Long smiled, "You wouldn't think I gave the team leader a gift to divide the land, right? How is that possible?"
Gu Zhixin's face was a bit red. He really thought so.
"Then how many pigs to divide land?" Gu Zhixin asked.
"Eight, right." Li Long said, "I remember it seems to be eight."
Gu Zhixin asked again:
"Then you often go to the county, I want to ask, how much is a piglet now?"
He thought if it wasn't expensive, he would grit his teeth and borrow some money to buy it. Five more mu of land, how much more grain can be hit!
"A month ago, ten yuan each. Now, the piglets are big, twenty, right?"
!.
"Twenty!" Hearing this number, Gu Zhixin almost didn't swallow his breath.
Twenty each, eight would be one hundred and sixty, topping the money for a bicycle!
Selling his family's belongings wouldn't be enough.
Gu Zhixin sighed, this matter is not to be thought of.
But thinking about why Li family could get these five mu of land?
Li Long didn't listen to him anymore after finishing speaking, continued to break the sugar beet leaves. This stuff was much faster than cutting pig grass, and a big basket came out in a while.
But those few piglets at home were very able to eat. Li Long pressed the sugar beet leaves in the basket and continued to break.
Breaking sugar beet leaves also requires experience, can't just be in one place, just break one or two leaves on the edge of each sugar beet.
"Without Xiao Long, still your family is good!" Gu Zhixin continued, "Your money is easy to earn, this piglet is also easy to buy, really good luck..."
"That's not luck." Li Long interrupted him, "You only see me earning money, I get up at six in the morning, run thirty or forty kilometers in the middle of winter to pull wood, pull sheep, that's frozen like a grandson, you guys didn't see it! Can't just see others earning money and eating meat, can't see others working hard."
"Hehe, I just said it like that..." Gu Zhixin smiled dryly and explained.
Li Long didn't listen to him anymore, broke the sugar beet leaves by himself, soon filled a basket, pressed it solid, broke some more, and when he planned to leave, he saw Gu Zhixin had already left at some point.
Li Long sneered, some people in the team are really annoying, seeing others living better than themselves.
But having lived two lives, Li Long has seen a lot, and his mentality is much better. No matter how others look, that's others' view, living his own life is the best.
Even if those people are angry to the point of vomiting blood, it won't affect him much. They have no power, at most they will say a few more gossips under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
In this year, you still have to rely on strength to speak. Using a famous star's words from his previous life, when you have enough money and enough fame, the people around you will all smile at you.
When Li Long carried the heavy basket home, Li Juan was planning to go out to cut pig grass. Seeing Li Long carrying a basket of sugar beet leaves back, she knew she didn't need to go cut grass anymore, happily helped Li Long take the basket down, pulled the board, and wanted to chop.
"Did you finish your homework?" Li Long asked, "If you finished, go play. You are busy day after day, you are still young, being too sensible is not good."
Li Juan didn't quite understand, but Li Long's words still made her quite happy.
"Then Uncle, I'll go play after chopping." Li Juan thought for a moment and said, "You boil?"
"No need." Li Long waved his hand, "Go play. Day after day like a little adult, that won't do."
Li Juan smiled, and then took the rubber band out to play.
Li Long moved the basket to the side of the cutting board, picked up the broken kitchen knife, and started chopping the sugar beet leaves.
"You just spoil them." Du Chunfang didn't know when she sat at the door, "Juan is already eleven years old, in the hometown, she can do all kinds of work."
"That's the hometown, here, her task is to study. What do I earn so much money for? It's to let them live the life a doll should live." Li Long said while chopping sugar beet leaves, "So small, working every day... we can't compare to the city, but I can earn money now, can let them live better than other dolls in the team, that's enough."
Liang Wenyu was in the room, listening to these words, she couldn't help but wipe her eyes.
She felt that she didn't treat the children as well as Li Long treated the children.
Chopping sugar beet leaves is actually quite stress-relieving. This stuff is very crisp, very full of water, can be chopped off at once, very neat, much better than other pig grasses.
Just chopping, Li Qiang rushed in from outside, shouting loudly:
"Uncle, Little Uncle!"
Li Long looked up, he found Li Qiang's face was swollen.
"Qiangqiang, what's wrong with you?" Li Long stood up instantly, he thought Li Qiang was beaten by someone.
"I... poked a hornet's nest, was stung by a hornet." Li Qiang was a bit embarrassed, "It was painful, I didn't cry, really!"
"Alright, alright, you didn't cry." Li Long couldn't laugh or cry, he was still being strong there.
"Uncle, look at this hornet's nest, there is honey! Look, you taste it, it's sweet!"
In common sense, hornets don't produce honey. But when Li Long and the others were small, they also poked hornet's nests, and there was still that little bit of honey like water in the nest.
This should be what Li Qiang was referring to.
"You eat, I won't eat." Li Long smiled, Li Qiang paid such a big price, and still knew to share the little honey with himself, really good!
"Uncle, you eat!" Li Qiang took the nest in his hand, broke open one of the eyes, tore off the small piece with honey, and handed it to Li Long's mouth.
"Alright, alright, alright, I'll eat." Li Long ate that piece of honey and said, "Come, come, come, I'll get you some soap water, disinfect it, and also reduce the swelling."
After dealing with the place where Li Qiang was stung, Li Long quickly finished chopping the sugar beet leaves, and then started to change the pot, pour water, and boil.
At this time, Li Qiang had already shared his harvest with Grandpa, Grandma, and Mother, with a face of pride.
"Qiangqiang has grown up," Du Chunfang praised with a smile, "Knows how to share this honey with everyone."
"Definitely have to share!" Li Qiang said, "It's all one family!"
His words made everyone laugh.
Sure enough, the words and deeds of adults are very important to children.
