"Actually, when I first came over, I had already worked as a supply officer in the production and construction corps. If it weren't for our old father sending telegram after telegram asking me to go back, I would be a corps cadre of some size now." Li Jianguo said in the courtyard while tidying up the meat with Li Long.

"Why did Father want you to go back?"

"Because your second brother and you were both small, he was the only one at home, there was no pillar, couldn't support it," Li Jianguo sighed, "The hometown is different from here, just like the matter encountered today, having many brothers is powerful..."

Although Li Qing Xia's generation is high, in this era where you eat one more bite and others might be hungry for half a day, generation doesn't necessarily work.

So Li Qing Xia let Li Jianguo come back, able to support the door and stand up.

Li Long could understand, but didn't agree. However, there was no way to say who was right and who was wrong, who let Li Jianguo be the eldest son?

"After going back for less than a year, I knew that if I stayed, I would be wasted, couldn't help the family and would be trapped to death there, so I came to Xinjiang again.

Arriving in Xinjiang, I didn't want to go to the corps anymore, I couldn't stand the big constraints, so I stayed in the county seat. Because I had some education, I was divided into the planning team..."

"Planning team?" Li Long heard a new word and was a bit curious.

"Hmm. At that time, where were there communes and villages like now? Everywhere was wasteland, even if there were residents, they were one family here and one family there. For example, in our team, there were only four or five families at the time, the east side was half a kilometer west of the East Big Ditch, there was a household by the red willow beach, there was a household in the East Village, there were two households here, there were two households in the west, at that time calling a meeting meant riding a horse and carrying a gun, preventing wolves, and the road was far."

Li Long nodded thoughtfully. The family in the east is not there now, but the ruins of the house and homestead are still there, there are ruins, and you can see that people have lived there.

"The task of the planning team was to calculate the land of each place, the wasteland that could be opened at the time, and then divide the communes and major teams and small teams. Liu Blind was in the south at the time, the village hadn't been divided yet, he had received the favor of Juan's maternal grandfather, this bastard cowardly bear thing..."

Li Long nodded, it is indeed a cowardly bear.

"Which of the people who came to the team one after another hadn't received the favor of Juan's maternal grandmother? One by one... sigh."

Li Jianguo didn't continue to say.

"Later, the planning team's task was completed, and I went to the well-drilling team, followed to drill wells everywhere, and later met old Gu, at that time I didn't want to run around anymore. Our ancestors were all farmers, there is a lot of land here, and the water is good, so I thought about staying here.

During the big collective, I also worked in the canteen... later forget it, I also worked in the national fishery, and finally came back. It's not that I didn't want to work, but I couldn't work."

"Why couldn't you work?" Li Long was still confused, "How much salary did the fishery give you a month?"

"Fifty."

"Fifty? So high?" Li Long didn't quite believe it.

"Hehe, didn't expect it, right? At that time, the farm manager said, I can only give you fifty at most, because my salary as a manager is only fifty. I don't have the decision-making power for higher. The main thing is that I can fish, can manage the fishery, can cook for others, and can manage accounts... but fifty is not enough."

"Why is it not enough?"

"Your sister-in-law brought two children, doesn't that cost money? Plus you... Father sent you over, you were still small and couldn't exert strength at that time, if I only worked in the fishery, the salary looked quite high, buying grain and oil, how much could be left?..."

Li Long nodded silently, this is the truth. Money in Xinjiang is not as valuable as in the interior, there are few people, things are more expensive, on the contrary, farmers are easier in this stage, as long as they are willing to work, at least eating full is no problem.

Li Long sent the meat to the Liang family, then rode the bicycle to the big courtyard, and when he sent the remaining meat back to the Li family, he chatted with Li Jianguo about these things.

At this time, the matter at the Liang family had been resolved.

"Liu Blind that goods is intentional," Li Jianguo can see it now, "The Ma family brothers are also not worry-free in his village, and he is not like the military baby in our team, he can't suppress it, then what to do? Have to find someone who can clean up. It's also that the Ma brothers don't have eyes, they provoked Juan's maternal grandfather..."

Li Long thought to himself, isn't this just using his brothers as guns?

But it doesn't matter, it's important to solve the problem at this time. If you endure being a turtle and don't come out at that time, how can the Liang family live in the village?

"Eldest brother, what if the Ma brothers find trouble with Wenyu and the others later?" Li Long was still a bit worried.

"What to do?" Li Jianguo sneered, "Just now I told Liu Blind, if Juan's maternal grandfather's family has any trouble, I will count it on the Ma brothers! We don't speak usually, that's because we don't want to cause trouble. If they really dare to move crooked thoughts, I won't tear down their house!"

"Then..."

"Then you rest assured. Juan's maternal grandfather doesn't speak, doesn't mean she doesn't have status. Participated in the revolution in the 30s, later returned home because of some special reasons, but doesn't mean he doesn't have status... He just doesn't want to mention it... No one in the team knows, so it's like this, I pointed it out to Liu Blind when I left, he should understand."

Damn it, it turns out they are all hidden big shots!

Li Long felt relieved, but thinking about it, he still had to go over to see when he had time.

"You did the right thing today. Coming over to find us early, otherwise this matter would be troublesome." Li Jianguo rarely praised Li Long.

"I mainly didn't bring a gun at that time, and they were brothers, otherwise..."

"Pay attention in the future. This gun is managed strictly, can't take it out at every turn. We can't leave talk handles for others."

"Alright. Then I'll go talk to the young people in the team, we'll do it tomorrow... Eldest brother, I have to return to the mountains at night, there is a small deer in the mountains, and some internal organs..."

"Then you go quickly, I'll handle the matter of calling people. There is nothing in the team now, the young people are all surrounding the cement table in front of the preschool playing table tennis."

"Cement table? Is it a table tennis table specially made?" Li Long was a bit surprised, why didn't he have an impression? "What, no. It's the cement board for the transport troops to repair the bridge. The long strip kind, one board was left unused, prepared specially for more. Now the bridge is repaired, the board is put there and has no use, those young people dug a hole on both sides, used wooden boards they shaved themselves as rackets, and put bricks in the middle to play table tennis."

Li Long smiled. He remembered, he also participated in this activity in his previous life, mainly because the village's cultural entertainment activities were too few, being able to play table tennis could surround a group of people.

Li Long rode the bicycle out of the village and took the gun to the big courtyard. Gu Xiaoxia hadn't returned, so he went directly to the mountains.

Arriving at the wooden house, the sky wasn't dark yet, Li Long started to deal with the small wild boar.

During the period, he released the small deer that was crying out of hunger, let it eat some grass and drink some water.

What surprised Li Long a bit was that this small deer looked in good spirits, and wasn't so strange to him anymore.

Because the mood was extremely good, so peeling the skin was also fast. After peeling the skin, he rubbed salt on the meat, and started to turn the intestines and stomach.

This work was done skillfully, and he could continue borrowing the not-so-bright moonlight after dark, finished quickly, burned firewood and started to boil the internal organs.

He thought while working, he could see it, his own eldest brother is also a legendary figure.

Thinking that actually at that time, when the eldest brother first broke into Xinjiang, he was only ten-something years old, not much older than when Father sent himself into Xinjiang, could he be simple?

Just this experience alone is also a legend.

!.

It's just that he rarely heard the eldest brother talk about these in the past, so he didn't know clearly.

After finishing the work, Li Long breathed a long sigh of relief, sat on the wooden floor, watching the firewood burning there, occasionally bursting into a group of firelight, flashing, and then continuing.

The internal organs and intestines in the two pots were full, don't think about sleeping early tonight.

The smell of internal organs drifted far away. Before the moon rose to the middle of the sky, wolf howls came from afar.

The small deer that was originally eating grass obediently was scared out of its wits, desperately leaning towards the wooden house, Li Long simply led it back to the small room, closed the door and locked it.

Maybe only this small room can give it some safety.

The pot boiled for a long time, Li Long went forward with chopsticks and poked, seeing that they were all cooked through, withdrew the firewood under the pot, waited for those things to become warm, took them out and put them on the wooden case that had been cleaned with water.

There were wolf figures testing back and forth on the edge of the pine forest in the distance, Li Long picked up the gun on the side of the case and fired a few shots towards that side.

The wolves were scared and darted directly into the forest.

Hit enough, didn't want to deal with more, just scare them away.

Otherwise, Li Long would have to get a few pieces of internal organs and put them here as bait, ambush once.

The fragrance was pungent, Li Long took a knife and cut a piece of stomach, it really smelled fragrant.

He carried these things into the house, and then went to pour the soup in the pot into the stream to clean it, otherwise, this cast iron pot would definitely not be kept tomorrow morning.

After all, the panda licking the salt on the pot could be passed on as an iron-eating beast, this soup is so fragrant, don't know what will come to taste it in the middle of the night, if a bear really comes, it will be quite troublesome.

Although Li Long also wanted to get a bear gall, that thing is really dangerous if said to be dangerous, if one shot doesn't hit, it might be hit by the bear.

After tidying up the outside, Li Long entered the house, locked the door, and lay on the bed preparing to rest.

This day was really exciting enough, hunting in the morning, hitting people in the afternoon, and almost hitting wolves at night... sigh, really wonderful.

The next day Li Long slept until the sky was bright before getting up.

After getting up, he carried the gun and opened the door. It was indeed a bit messy outside. There were quite a lot of claw and hoof prints when pouring soup, and there were traces of rooting at the spring water. Is this animal transit at night?

It's just that they have all run away now.

He cut some internal organs and ate them casually, then led the small deer out, tied its four hooves and put them on the back seat of the bicycle.

As for the meat and internal organs of the small wild boar, directly wrapped in gauze, packed in two bags, tied on both sides of the bicycle handle, he carried the gun well, rode the bicycle and went down the mountain.

Arriving at the big courtyard, put down the small deer first to move around, so as not to waste the legs due to poor blood circulation, and then put a bag of cooked internal organs in the kitchen, and continued to ride to the team.

After finishing the work, he had to ask the team for a homestead.

Whether to build a house or not is another matter, the homestead must be determined first.
