Li Anguo and his party of four got off the train, cooperated with each other to carry their luggage out of the station, looked around, and were slightly confused.

The Wucheng South Station at this time did not have as many high-rise buildings as later generations, the square was very large, but there were not many people, and the surrounding buildings were basically bungalows or low buildings.

"Can this place earn money?" Chen Xingbang scanned it and was very disappointed.

"Uncle, let's stop looking, hurry up and find a place to warm up? The wind here is so strong, we will become frozen meat in a while!" Li Long's cousin Li Junfeng covered his hands and said there, "I regret it now, how comfortable it is to stay at home..."

"Go, Dad said, there is a Bayi Guesthouse on the right side of the station, and there are cars to Maxian in the courtyard. Since we are here, don't retreat, besides Xiao Feng, do you have the money for the return ticket?"

These words were said by Li Anguo.

Although he felt a bit disappointed, it was not the time to think about these things.

"That's not there." Li Junfeng smiled, "Isn't this counting on coming here, following second uncle to earn some money, and then it's good to go back."

Chen Xingbang wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it. Four people came out, he and Li Anguo were elders, at this time speaking, it was not only to give ideas, but definitely to spend money and effort, his hands were tight, so the words couldn't be said.

At this time, Chen Xingbang was also a bit dissatisfied. The idea of coming to the northern border to earn money was his, and the people were also connected by him. But in the end, his father-in-law Li Qing Xia called Li Anguo alone to explain when they decided to come, and he must have stuffed money later.

Why didn't he stuff some money for himself? Li Qing Xia's money was not small!

Just because he is a son-in-law? But his children are also Li Qing Xia's grandchildren!

Of course, these words can only be thought about, not said. This arrived in the northern border, earning money and so on, still have to rely on the Li Jianguo brothers.

Arriving in front of the Bayi Guesthouse, Li Anguo saw the small snack shop and felt relieved, saying with a smile:

"Dad said, the noodles in this shop are good, go, I'll take everyone to eat noodles, and then go in to buy tickets. Since we said in the telegram that we arrived today, then big brother, Xiao Long and the others might be waiting in the county."

The snack shop is not big. After this train arrived, many people came here to take the car, and by the way, ate a hot meal here.

After all, what they ate on the train was dry food they brought themselves, corn buns, corn cakes, and so on, with some pickles, and what they drank was hot water received with prepared canned bottles—as a result, Chen Xingbang was a bit nervous because of lack of experience, plus there were many people receiving water on the train, so he broke the bottle.

Drinking water was drunk with Li Junshan—Li Junshan is Li Long's other cousin.

Four people ate four bowls of noodles, and each drank a bowl of noodle soup. Li Anguo gave one yuan generously, waited for the other party to find two cents, carried the luggage out of the small shop, and then went to buy tickets.

This ticket money was also paid by Li Anguo—it was already agreed on the train, he paid the ticket money, and others would return it after earning money. After all, after buying the train tickets, basically every family was emptied.

This is considered a gamble.

When the car drove out of Wucheng, several people were not too surprised, and were surprised that there were trees and farmland along the way. After all, the train entered the mountains after Baoji, and when it came out, it was Gobi, desert, and wasteland all the way, and the cities encountered were few. Even when they arrived in Wucheng, because it was already early winter, what they saw was gray.

In their impression, the northern border should be like Gansu, everywhere is desert and Gobi. So now seeing the oasis, seeing large tracts of farmland, and tractors occasionally working in the farmland, they were very curious.

"Second uncle, look at this land, why is it so big, don't divide it? There are no ridges..." Li Junfeng talked a lot and asked curiously.

Li Anguo had never been here either, so he didn't know what to say to Li Junfeng's words.

"People are few, that strip of field is still public." A local person next to him explained with a smile, they had seen many people coming from the mainland, and it was not strange, "Each household is divided into not a few, some have several mu, more than ten mu, dozens of mu, so there is no need to make ridges so troublesome."

"That's really a landlord!" Li Junfeng sighed.

"Can't talk nonsense!" Chen Xingbang hurriedly added, "Where are there landlords at this time!" As he said, he accompanied the people next to him with a smile.

"Nothing, nothing, speaking of which, this land is divided to each family, isn't that a landlord, even more powerful than the previous landlords." The local person didn't care, and said with a smile, "Now they all use tractors, where did the previous landlords have this ability!"

With locals talking next to them, they also slowly began to understand, knowing that this northern border is along the Tianshan Mountains, there are many oases, many farmlands are newly developed, irrigated by rivers formed by glacial meltwater, and the land here is still gradually being developed.

"Actually, it's not bad to farm here..." Li Junshan suddenly came with a sentence.

Compared to his cousin, Li Junshan is more honest and honest, originally didn't want to come out to break through, how good it is to farm at home. It's just that his parents insisted on letting him come out, after all, there is only one mu and a few cents of land at home, and the remaining people are enough to plant. His parents also clearly told him that they had no money to marry him a wife, if he wanted to marry a wife, earn money himself, otherwise just wait.

Although Li Junshan doesn't have an object now, he knows that if he wants to marry a wife, give a bride price, and set up a house, he needs money. Then come out, maybe he can earn it?

Arriving at the Maxian Bus Station, four people carried their luggage down, looked at the environment smaller than Wucheng, and after being stunned inside for a while, they followed the flow of people out of the station.

"Anguo, Xingbang, come here!" Suddenly someone shouted, Li Anguo looked in the direction of the sound, big brother Li Jianguo was looking at them not far from the entrance, and had already walked towards this side when he shouted.

And not far behind him, a young man was holding a horse cart and looking at this side with a smile, isn't this Li Long?

Four people suddenly felt relieved in their hearts.

Especially Li Anguo, although he said it very full at the Wucheng Railway Station, saying that someone would pick them up when they arrived in Maxian, but after all, these four people came over without discussing with Li Jianguo, which was equivalent to directly sending a notice.

Four big young men ran to someone else's place to find a way to earn money, which should be discussed properly. Chen Xingbang's idea, saying that they should discuss properly, then the other side would probably not agree, so just act first and report later, directly saying that the train tickets were bought, and notify when they would come.

Li Anguo really agreed. He was anxious and regretted on the train, he shouldn't have been so rash.

When he got off the bus, he was thinking, if big brother was unhappy and didn't come to pick them up, then how to find them?

Although he asked the old man many times at home, after all, it was a strange place, and heard that it was quite chaotic...

Now seeing Li Jianguo, he was really relieved.

"Haven't eaten yet, right? Come, put the things on the horse cart, go, eat a hot meal first, and then go home." Li Jianguo didn't have any unhappiness, for so many days, the ideological construction had been completed, since they were here, he couldn't drive people away with a cold face.

Moreover, there are brothers, cousins who are not out of the third service, and brother-in-law, he has to take care of them anyway.

Li Long looked at the four people, and basically matched the impression of the previous life.

Li Anguo and Li Jianguo are about the same height, almost reaching one meter seven, slightly thinner—of course, because the food at home has been good for more than half a year, Li Jianguo has gained a lot of weight.

Li Anguo has a square face, looks quite honest, and the person himself is honest. In the previous life, he also came here, later picked up the family, at that time Li Jianguo got the news, Shicheng Construction Company was recruiting people, so he sent him in, and then Li Anguo's family became city people.

Chen Xingbang came in the second batch in the previous life, slightly fat, with a smile on his face, after coming here, he looked down on the work of farming, borrowed Li family's donkey cart, borrowed Li Jianguo's money, ran around and collected a donkey cart of beer bottles and so on, ran to Wucheng to sell them, saved the first start-up capital, and started small business, later he made a fortune.

People in the hometown all knew he would do business, no one knew that he ran this trip, directly dried the donkey cart in Li Jianguo's house, and the donkey was exhausted to a semi-disabled state. Fortunately, the Li family bought a tractor in less than two years, this matter because they were all relatives, it was not easy to mention.

As for Li Junfeng, this cousin who is two years older than Li Long is already married, has a daughter at home, is the tallest of these four people, about one meter seven four five, quite strong, quite able to talk, and like Li Junshan who is slightly shorter, the two of them came here for a turn in the previous life, stayed for less than two months and went back. They know a little bit of masonry craft, the luggage they brought was more than the other two, inside were tools for big and small work, big shovels and so on.

Li Jianguo knew these four people, smiled and greeted them one by one, and then introduced them to Li Long, mainly introducing Chen Xingbang and the two cousins. Li Anguo's appearance didn't change much, he could recognize it. Li Long didn't know Chen Xingbang when he came to the northern border because his sister hadn't married yet, and as for the two cousins, he must have no impression of them when he was a child.

The four people were a bit surprised after seeing Li Long. Although they heard many "glorious deeds" of Li Long from the old man, but looking at him in front of them, just holding the horse cart and waiting for them, there was still a bit of disharmony.

Greeting the four people to put things on the horse cart, Li Long held the horse cart, Li Jianguo took the four people and followed behind, talking while walking.

Chen Xingbang said little, looked around, looking for possible business opportunities.

He felt he was an outsider, wouldn't follow Li Jianguo all the time, his thoughts were also very clear, want to earn money, have to find a way himself.

Li Long held the horse cart in front, took several people to the big meat canteen. After all, relatives from the hometown came, the first meal must be good.

"Go home and eat, it costs money to eat outside." Li Anguo really thought so, "We are all our own people, don't do these people."

"Yes, yes." Li Junshan also felt it was a bit grand, "We ate noodles at the train station."

"That's different." Li Long said with a smile in front, "I haven't been back for many years, seeing relatives from the hometown is dear. Since you are here, listen to me. Eat a good meal today, and we'll talk about other things when we go back."

Li Anguo looked at Li Long, and then looked at Li Jianguo.

!.

"Xiao Long said, then listen to him." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "Xiao Long has arranged the food and housing in the village, you don't have to worry."

Tied the horse cart to the shed by the gate, everyone carried their bags into the big meat canteen, Li Long didn't ask for the opinions of the four people, and directly prepared to order dishes.

Zhong Guo Qiang saw Li Long bring people in, and came over to greet with a smile:

"Comrade Xiao Li, you are..."

"Relatives from the hometown, just got off the train, have to eat a good meal." Li Long said with a smile, "Manager Zhong, what good dishes do you have today?"

"Order the hard dishes you are good at?" Zhong Guo Qiang knew Li Long had money, so he asked, "Or our northern border specialty dishes?"

Asked very learnedly, Li Long smiled when he heard it:

"Hard dishes you are good at, but be fast." Li Long said, "Have to catch the road after eating."

"Okay, let me tell you, soy sauce elbow, spicy chicken, big plate mutton... enough, right?"

"Stir-fry two more vegetable dishes."

"Now it's spicy stir-fried eggs, potato shreds."

"Okay."

"Staple food wants..."

Li Long turned his head to look at Li Anguo and the others:

"Second brother, do you eat noodles or rice?"

"Rice."

"Noodles!"

"Steamed buns."

Four people answered three, Li Junshan didn't speak.

"Okay, serve a little of everything." Li Long knew the appetite of these few people, larger than ordinary people, and they probably didn't eat well on the train these days, and their stomachs were short of oil, so it was fine to eat more.

Listening to Li Long ordering dishes and rice here, looking at his familiarity with the hotel manager, several people had some numbers in their hearts.

This younger brother (little uncle), is not simple.

Zhong Guo Qiang probably ordered here, so the food was served very quickly, Li Jianguo and Li Long didn't let much, Li Anguo and the others had already opened their cheeks and ate.

This is a good dish that you can't eat even during the New Year! Now in the hometown, you can cut two catties of meat during the New Year, that is to wrap dumplings, at most, stir-fry the meat, stir-fry a dish with some lard, and stick to the meat taste.

Maybe it's someone getting married, holding a big banquet, then you can eat solid meat dishes, that also depends on the host's conditions.

So the eating appearance now, it is not an exaggeration to say it is wolfing down. Even Li Junshan, who is more honest and honest, doesn't look very good when eating.

Li Jianguo and Li Long looked at each other and smiled, neither said anything. They were not very hungry, there was oil in their stomachs, so they just ate slowly here.

After a meal, Li Long found that Chen Xingbang loosened his belt twice in the middle, he ate two bowls of rice, and when he was about to leave, he almost couldn't stand up.

"Let's take the horse cart when we go back." Li Jianguo said, "It's a bit cold here, it's better to slow down for a while, you'd better walk a section, otherwise it's freezing just sitting in the car."

"Good, good, good." Four people carried their bags, and after Li Long pulled the horse cart over, they got on the horse cart.

It was a bit crowded on it.

Li Long held it in front, Li Jianguo followed beside, this ten-kilometer road really didn't count for him.

Walking while chatting, Li Long slowly knew the situation at home, and also knew how the old man was showing off at home.

Since they are here, then do it first, if they can do it, then support them, if they can't do it, then either leave, or find their own way to get rich. Anyway, they also had their own encounters in the previous life, and I think it won't be bad in this life. (End of chapter)
