Chapter 330: Supporting the Liang family, one must have gifts when visiting

~12 min read 2,343 words

Li Jianguo wanted to share a portion of the money with Li Long, but Li Long didn't want it.

"Big brother, you are the professional pig-raising household, you keep this money. If I'm really short of money, I'll definitely ask you for it." Li Long said with a smile.

However, he also had something he wasn't happy about. After weighing these two pigs, he asked the purchasing staff here if they bought domestic-raised wild boars.

They said they didn't, there was no such precedent, and no way to send them up.

Alright, it seems the few pigs he raised himself can only be sold at a stall or kept for himself to eat.

Originally, he thought about slaughtering all the wild boars this year and catching more next year. Now it seems he needs to keep one wild sow to breed with the domestic pig next year, and the crossbreed might be better later, right?

Although Li Long felt that domestic-raised wild boar meat tasted better, to be honest, because it had little fat, it didn't meet the "delicacy" standard people eat now.

Now, "fat" is truly considered delicious.

Returning to the team, Li Long and Li Anguo and the others went straight to the Old Horse Corral. After a busy day, they needed to rest well.

Today, pigs were slaughtered. Besides half a pig sold to the Tao family, there was still one leg and half a wild boar left, which were brought here, prepared for eating here.

After all, with six big men eating here, the consumption of meat would definitely not be small.

Li Junshan looked at the meat and said with some worry:

"Eating meat every day like this, I won't be able to adapt when I go back to my hometown later. I now understand why Third Grandfather said the food at home doesn't taste good. Eating meat every day here, can eating that cornmeal back home taste good?"

Li Long knew this was the truth.

He actually still hoped that his parents could come over and live here. Last time when his second brother Li Anguo went to the county to send a telegram to his hometown to report safety, his big brother Li Jianguo also sent a telegram to his parents, hoping they could come over, but there was no reply from there, I'm afraid they weren't willing to come.

In Li Long's view, winter in the Northern Frontier is easier to get through than in his hometown. At least in winter, he doesn't want to go out, and the room is warm. Since so much coal was pulled this year, just burn it.

Of course, his parents also have their own ideas. In his hometown, although winter is also cold, there isn't such heavy snow, and he can still go out to visit neighbors and play cards in winter. There are no acquaintances here, who can he play with?

Let's talk about it later, adapt little by little, there's still a long time.

The next day after breakfast, Li Long went to his big brother's place to pull a horse cart, pulled a wild boar over to slaughter in the Li family courtyard, and brought back half a wild boar.

He told Li Jianguo and Liang Yumei that this half wild boar was to be sent to the Old Liang family.

"Big brother, last time we went to teach those Ma family brothers a lesson, it's been so long since we went over, I don't know how things are over there. My meaning is, I'll pull a cart of fish to the county courtyard today, unload the fish, and I'll take my second brother and the others to see Uncle Liang, and unload the meat along the way. The Ma family brothers are numerous, but our family isn't few either..."

"Okay." Li Jianguo nodded, "Those Ma family brothers aren't good people either. We don't know if they've caused trouble during this time, so let's make a trip."

Liang Yumei was very moved. She knew the matter, and now that Li Long could think of this, she was really moved.

Because the processing was fast, they left with the horse cart while it was still morning.

Several people were walking, and the cart was loaded with a full cart of fish. These fish were to be put in the courtyard, and later transported to Shicheng for sale.

After all, transporting from there is much better than transporting from the team.

On the way, Li Long told Li Anguo and the others about the land dispute between the Liang family and the Ma family brothers.

"Hey, daring to occupy Auntie's land, that's really tired of living!" Now Li Junfeng and the others were extremely glad that they followed their second uncle Li Anguo to the Northern Frontier. This life is really too good.

And the root of all this was created by their uncle when he came here to venture years ago. So for Liang Yumei and the Liang family, Li Junfeng and the others maintained enough respect.

"It doesn't necessarily mean fighting. Going over is just to make the momentum bigger, so that the people over there also know that Uncle Liang's family isn't without support." Li Long expressed the core meaning of this trip.

In this life, he lived smoothly, and the Liang family didn't contribute much—or rather, in the first seven or eight years when he first came, he didn't have a deep impression of the help the Liang family gave the Li family in his mind. After all, he was a mixed-up kid back then, quite selfish.

But after being reborn, thinking about it again, he grew from a teenager to a young man following his big brother, and the support the Liang family gave was very great, and very critical.

Now that he has the ability, he must repay the kindness.

When the horse cart arrived at the county, Gu Xiaoxia had just finished lunch. Seeing them come, she hurriedly poured water and prepared to make food.

"Don't bother, we won't eat here. After unloading the fish, we'll go to Big Sister-in-law's place." Li Long explained the matter of this trip, "We'll definitely eat over there... You rest, we'll leave after unloading the fish."

Li Anguo and Chen Xingbang and the others were still staying there.

They originally thought that Gu Xiaoxia worked in the county and most likely lived in the unit's dormitory in the county, at most having her own room, which was just a small courtyard.

Now Li Long brought them to such a large courtyard. Even the landlords and wealthy people in the past didn't live in such a courtyard, right?

Only wealthy and noble people could live in such a place, right?

"Xiao Long, this courtyard..." Li Anguo came back to his senses and asked in a low voice, "Is it your partner's family's?"

"No, I bought it." Li Long said with a smile, "At that time, an old man was in a hurry to return to his hometown, and this courtyard was cheap, so I bought it..."

"Cheap? How cheap could it be?" Chen Xingbang also recovered, "Such a large courtyard, no matter how cheap, how cheap could it be?" "A few hundred yuan." Li Long said, "I picked up a big bargain. Let's not talk about it first, unload the fish, hurry up, otherwise we won't make it to Uncle Liang's house for dinner."

He opened a room in the east wing that didn't have anything in it, and directly carried a bag of fish and put it inside.

Li Anguo and the others followed, putting the fish in bag by bag.

This horse cart had added sideboards and was loaded with seventeen or eighteen bags of fish, totaling six or seven hundred kilograms in weight, which wasn't light.

But it was only a small part. In the next few days, at least two horse carts of fish would be sent every day.

Fortunately, there were too many idle rooms in the Sihe courtyard, and putting these fish there was really no problem at all.

It's just that there might be a fishy smell in the room when summer comes later—let's talk about that later.

After all, it's still early.

After the fish were unloaded, Li Long said a word to Gu Xiaoxia, and then took the people and drove the horse cart towards the Liang family.

At this time, people could sit on the horse cart.

"Xiao Long, you are too capable, that big courtyard, tsk tsk..." Chen Xingbang originally felt that once he saved enough capital and found a reliable path, it wouldn't take a year or two to make big money, at least not worse than Li Long.

!.

But now Li Long's big courtyard refreshed his cognition again.

If this were in his hometown, a few hundred yuan? Even a thousand yuan couldn't buy it!

"That's right!" Li Junfeng was also full of envy, "Uncle Xiao Long, just say it, what other assets do you have that we don't know about?"

"I have another house in the mountains, but it's a wooden house." Li Long just chatted as if chatting, "My herdsman friend helped me build it. I go into the mountains to hunt and collect medicinal materials in summer and live in it. I have to bring a stove when I go over in a few days, it's colder in the mountains than outside."

"There's also a house in the mountains..." This time it was Li Junshan who was also sighing, "Uncle Xiao Long, you... you add all these up, at least a ten-thousand-yuan household, right?"

"No, still a bit short." Li Long shook his head modestly.

"Eh, still not admitting it." Chen Xingbang said, "Short is definitely not short, it just depends on how you calculate it."

The five people chatted while walking towards the Liang family. At this time, it was already noon, and everyone was a little hungry.

"When we arrive at Uncle Liang's house, we must let Uncle Liang and the others cook a good meal."

"That's not right!" Li Anguo suddenly thought of something, "Xiao Long, this is not right. You go often, but we are going for the first time, we can't go empty-handed."

"Aren't we bringing meat." Li Long patted the half wild boar meat, "Having this is enough."

"That's your gift, we didn't bring anything." Chen Xingbang waved his hand immediately, "No, no, turn back, let's go to the county and buy something, if not, we have to bring two bottles of wine... First time going to Auntie's house, must bring things."

Chen Xingbang was speaking from the heart, this was the truth. The two brothers Li Jianguo and Li Long could treat Liang Yumei's maternal family like this, so he, as a half-outsider, felt the same way. He could be sure that if his own family were here, the Li brothers would most likely treat his parents like this too.

So although it was his first time coming, and although he was here to support, and although Li Long had already brought things, he felt he should still buy some things to bring along.

Can't let people over here say we don't know etiquette, don't know manners, and have no upbringing.

Li Long couldn't refuse, had no choice but to turn the horse head and head towards the department store again.

Fortunately, they hadn't driven far. When they arrived at the department store, they let Li Long wait outside, and they went in and picked some things each.

Wine, sponge cake, granulated sugar, canned food, biscuits, etc., anyway, everyone was carrying quite a lot of things.

Li Long took them and turned to the big meat canteen, bought a dozen buns, and cushioned their stomachs first.

After all, the meal time had passed. By the time they arrived at the Liang family, it would be cooking on the spot, at least an hour or two later, and their stomachs would definitely be empty again by then.

When the horse cart arrived at the team where the Liang family was located, people saw them one after another on the road. Those who recognized them guessed that the Liang family had guests.

Mainly because Li Long and the others were too famous last time. Not only did they directly knock down the Ma family brothers, but they also stood up for the Liang family. Li Jianguo was the most famous, followed by Li Long and the others who took action. The people in the village who watched the fun back then all remembered Li Long.

Among these people in the team, there really weren't many whose relatives had horse carts. So when Li Long and the others drove the horse cart and were about to arrive at the Liang family, Liang Wenyu had already heard from the child who ran over to report the news and came to the gate to wait.

And the restless Ma family brothers also knew that the Liang family had guests.

The eldest ran to the Liang family to see what was going on, and then saw several big young men sitting on a horse cart, and the horse cart was also piled with many things, directly arriving at the Liang family gate.

Liang Wenyu watched Li Long leading the horse, and he didn't recognize the people sitting on the cart.

"Brother Wenyu," Li Long said with a smile, "Come, come, come, let me tell you, this is my second brother, Li Anguo, this is my brother-in-law, Chen Xingbang, these are our two nephews, Li Junfeng and Li Junshan. We came here this time, first to see Uncle Liang and Auntie, and second, because we are worried. After all, the last matter was so big, my sister-in-law was worried."

The onlookers heard this, and their hearts were as clear as a mirror. This is to support the Liang family because they are afraid that the Ma family will settle scores, right! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 331 =====
