Chapter 292

Five mu of sugar beets, piled up a large pile in the courtyard.

These sugar beets still need later processing, use a knife to scrape off the mud remaining on top, and chop the roots clean.

Of course, if it's for pigs to eat, then it can be processed roughly, if the family is boiling sugar syrup, then it must be dealt with carefully.

When Li Long returned to the courtyard, what he saw was a large pile of sugar beets. There were still bones that hadn't been eaten in the pot on the stove in the courtyard, the pot lid was covered, and at this time it was emitting fragrance.

Some bones were thrown in the corner, a stack of bowls was placed on the table under the shed. Sister-in-law Liang Yumei was washing the plates, seeing Li Long return, asked with a smile:

"Xiao Long is back? Have you eaten?"

"Not eaten, but I'm not hungry, I'll put this meat down, and then take the small deer to the horse station," Li Long explained, "Inside is the stomach and intestines of the wild boar and wolf, and the meat of a small wild boar, sister-in-law you deal with it."

"Alright." Liang Yumei was full of gratitude to Li Long at this moment. If Li Long hadn't run back to call people in time yesterday, her father and mother and brother would have suffered.

Li Long unloaded the meat and internal organs, and used a bag to fill some, these were to be taken to old Luo uncle.

Rode the bicycle to the old horse station, old Luo uncle was not there, Li Long guessed it should be getting grass. This wild boar must be killed in winter, but that roe deer must be raised, old Luo uncle said before, these few days he will go to the land to get some corn stalks, cut some grass to prepare.

The corn stalks in the team will be distributed to each family, some places that are relatively far, some people don't want them. This thing has no livestock at home, usually save some to burn fire in summer, the rest really doesn't have much use.

But for the roe deer, the leaves and tips on the corn stalks are delicacies.

Li Long untied the small deer and put it into the circle of the two deer originally. The deer gained freedom, and immediately ran inside.

The roe deer saw a new "person" coming, came over and smelled the smell across the circle.

Li Long went to wash his hands, took those internal organs and cut them into plates, and took out a bottle of wine.

As for those meats, he directly rubbed them with salt, found iron wire to wear them and hung them on the iron wire for hanging clothes in the courtyard.

Make air-dried meat.

Half an hour later, old Luo carried a large bundle of grass and walked back. Li Long helped him put down the grass, part of it was fed to the roe deer and small deer in the circle, part of it was leaned against the vegetable garden wall, preparing to air dry.

"Xiao Long, when did you come back?"

"Just came back not long ago," Li Long said, "Old Luo uncle, you are also tired, I cut some internal organs, opened a bottle of wine, drink a cup?"

"Then drink a cup," old Luo said with a smile, "With this good thing, how can you not drink wine? Drink some to relieve fatigue."

The moonlight was not as bright as yesterday, there was electricity in the old horse station, there was an electric light, but old Luo uncle didn't let it turn on, just directly lined with the moonlight, one person one pair of chopsticks, one cup of wine, drinking and chatting.

"Xiao Long, you got a small deer back again, quite good," old Luo uncle sighed, "I was afraid that by winter, those wild boars would be killed, and only one roe deer would be left, then what would I feed? This deer came, still okay."

"Old Luo uncle, if you want to feed more, wait for a period of time, I will go into the mountains, stay for a period of time, hit something and bring it all back for you to raise, just afraid you won't be able to raise it by then."

"How can you not be able to raise it?" old Luo uncle said with a smile, "As long as it's not this oinking wild boar, anything else is no problem."

"That's fine." Li Long picked up the cup and clinked with old Luo uncle, "Wait until I see if I can get some more roe deer or deer back. This thing is valuable, and it's also energetic to raise."

"That's right, think about a small deer selling for three hundred, this raised big, how also must be five or six hundred? If you can get a big deer back, then our horse station must be changed to a deer station..."

"Then I will work hard," Li Long drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, "See if I can catch up to the end of the year, and get a few more back."

With a goal, there is motivation. Actually, during this period of time before, Li Long's goal for doing things was not particularly obvious, earning money, catching fish, hunting. Money earned almost, some things are also being added step by step, bicycle has, big house has, small courtyard has, radio has, now TV still needs to be engaged.

Next is the homestead, but building a house is also a matter for next year. So Li Long feels that the motivation is not very sufficient now, it is the mentality of the car to the mountain front, solving whatever matter he encounters.

Now old Luo uncle gave him a goal, Li Long feels that it is really possible to engage in it.

The two didn't finish a bottle of wine, old Luo uncle's drinking capacity is average, Li Long didn't plan to drink hard, just have some meaning.

After drinking, the two washed and slept, Li Long felt that sleeping dizzy like this is also good.

Woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, the fatigue of this period of time seemed to be gone.

Old Luo uncle had already boiled porridge, and had already fed the wild boar, roe deer, and small deer, he watched Li Long come out, and said with a smile:

"Eat here or eat at your brother's place? I mixed cold dishes, steamed corn flour cake."

"Then eat here," Li Long said with a smile, "Old Luo uncle, trouble you."

"What trouble, having someone to eat together is better, just me alone, feel can't eat. Eating, still need to be lively. This Li Long has deep feelings—of course, it is also the previous life. When young, at eldest brother's house, that eating was like grabbing, really grabbing with Li Juan and Li Qiang. At that time, felt the appetite was really good.

Wait until older, eldest brother had an accident, didn't have contact with sister-in-law's family, later alone for a period of time, basically eating really didn't have much appetite.

Even if it's a child eating, it needs to be eaten together to be fragrant. Comparing seems to be able to stimulate the secretion of some substances in the human body.

Porridge is actually corn flour paste, commonly known as big slag porridge. Corn flour cake, with a bit of sweetness. Mixed cold dishes are green chili mixed with vinegar and salt, autumn leeks blanched with water and cut and poured with vinegar, and there is also raw cabbage mixed cold.

Quite a lot.

Plus the internal organs left last night, both meat and vegetables are there, and the nutrition is also rich.

The two chatted while eating, after eating Li Long washed the bowls, and then found Xu Chengjun's house.

Xu Chengjun also just finished eating, preparing to go to the land to work. Today their family's subsistence land is to sow wheat, this master must follow.

"Xiao Long, what's the matter?" Li Long came, Xu Chengjun immediately stopped the pace of going out, "You are really not going to the Three Treasures Hall without anything."

"That's for sure," Li Long also knew Xu Chengjun was busy, so he said the matter directly, "Director, I want to apply for a homestead."

"What do you mean?" Xu Chengjun was happy, "This is preparing to get married?"

!.

He knew about Li Long's engagement. Usually, when the relationship is relatively good, he will be notified. But these two families are different. Li Jianguo is a veteran of the village, Xu Chengjun was a village group leader before he became a militia company commander, one of the builders of the village.

And Gu Bo Yuan is also considered one of the builders of the village, came early and had knowledge. Facing others, although Xu Chengjun is young, he definitely has the right to speak, should scold, should scold, should scold, some old people in the village feel Xu Chengjun is a two-pole.

But he scolds people also divided into people. Like Li Jianguo, Gu Bo Yuan, he only respects. People's qualifications are there, just like Li Yunlong, although he was awarded a major general in 55, some lieutenant generals had to salute him—qualifications are too old.

"No, prepare first," Li Long said with a smile, "Allocate the homestead this year, make earth blocks or engage in bricks next year, prepare materials, see when the house is built, then it's good to get married."

"Then you say, which village are you preparing to build in? I'll allocate it for you," Xu Chengjun turned back to the house directly and said, "Three places for you to choose!"

"For me to choose? Such a big degree of freedom?" Li Long was a bit surprised? "Director, you are not joking, right?"

"What joke, I tell you, it's really random to choose, it doesn't matter if it's a bit big, I know you have money, can afford to build. Anyway, now the homestead, the courtyard, although the regulations above are roughly the range, but our village has a lot of land, you can allocate it bigger, as long as it's not too much."

Li Long didn't understand, asked:

"Director, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Is my meaning not obvious yet? I just want to keep you. Heard that you have a courtyard in the county seat?"

"There is a courtyard."

"That's right. I was still thinking that Gu Xiaoxia went to work in the county seat, did you move to the county seat one day? Anyway, you are a person who came out of our village, how to say, our village also has an expression. Now you say you want a homestead in the village, then I am too happy!" Xu Chengjun didn't hide it either, directly said the words in his heart:

"You also know, now everyone has started to engage in economy. Our village, no, should say our township doesn't have this advantage. So, you engaged in these two big jobs for the village this year, that really made other villages envious to death. I know you have connections and abilities, in the future, as long as there is something, think about our village, then it's fine. As for the homestead, isn't that what should be?"

Li Long understood, this is to tie himself—or say, give himself a bit of bond.

After all, he is really a big Buddha for the village now.

It's not that anyone can just pull a big job of thousands or even thousands of yuan. And Li Long obviously holds more jobs in his hands. As long as he is in the village, as long as his brother is still in the village, this job, no matter how you say it, basically won't be given to other villages.

So this homestead, you want to allocate it where, allocate it where.

Hearing this meaning, Li Long was actually still a bit proud.

After all, he has such a heavy weight in the village director's heart, then he must be a little proud.

He thought about it, after nearly twenty years, the village abandoned two of the three residential points and merged them all into one residential point. That point is in the west, near the reed ditch. But Li Long currently doesn't like living there, after all, his brother's house and the old horse station are not over there.

Nearly twenty years, now build a house, live for twenty years, then tear it down and build a new one is also fine.

Twenty years, who knows how many changes there will be?

So he said:

"Then I will build near my brother's house. You see where it can be allocated there, just allocate it for me."

"That's simple, right in front of your brother's house, there is a large piece of empty land there. Your brother as a group leader planted safflower there, don't plant it next year, give it to you as a courtyard."

Li Long was startled—that place is at least four or five mu, all give it to himself as a courtyard? Is he going to be a landlord? (End of chapter)
