Chapter 449: Xu Chengjun also works to earn money to support his family?

Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei were both working in the fields. This piece of land was relatively close to the residential area, so they could hear the sound of the tractor, knowing that Li Long was back.

Currently, the family's life was mainly still at Li Jianguo's place. Actually, Chen Li Rong wanted to follow Li Jianguo and them to work in the fields, but Liang Yuemei didn't let her, feeling that as long as no one interfered, the work in the fields was something the couple could handle, not a big deal. Chen Li Rong farmed in her hometown, and she definitely wouldn't be used to the work here. Besides, Li Anguo was going to be a worker, and Chen Li Rong would definitely have to enter the city, so there was no need to let her suffer this fatigue.

It was mainly because Li Jianguo and his wife were young and had high spirits, plus they had the hope of earning money.

Who wouldn't want to rush towards a better life? The mother-in-law wanted to plant the vegetable garden of the younger brother-in-law, then plant it, as long as she didn't make trouble. Liang Yuemei was never afraid of the work in the big fields, she was only afraid of trouble.

Moreover, from last year to now, it was the younger brother-in-law's change that made the family's life better and better. If there was no change in the younger brother-in-law, the couple could live a good life, Liang Yuemei had this confidence, but not so fast.

So it was actually quite good now.

They worked in the fields, returned home at noon to have ready-made meals, whether it was delicious or not was another matter, at least someone made it, and there were not so many troubles. Picking up dates for free and still complaining about the size of the pit? She, Liang Yuemei, didn't have this problem.

Li Jianguo was also quite happy, the relationship of the whole family was not bad at present. After the old father and mother came over last year, generally speaking, there was no conflict, which was quite good, he considered half of his heart put down. This year the old father and mother also brought the younger brother, younger brother-in-law, and children, Li Jianguo couldn't help but agree. Fortunately, Li Long was capable, directly arranging the second younger brother to the factory, although it was not clear whether he could become a formal worker now, at least there was a place to go.

The younger sister-in-law also went to set up a stall herself, now it was just the younger brother-in-law and niece, but neither were people who caused trouble, the relationship of this family was not bad, he felt this was very good. Tired is tired, tired is also for a better life. Actually, quite a few people in the team were secretly wanting to see the Li family's jokes. After all, the Li family was glorious for a year last year, making quite a few people envious and jealous. Some people wished the Li family would have some trouble.

However, this spring the Li family was even more glorious, big TV was watched, tractor was bought, then what other problems could there be? The people here were all from their hometown, although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship here was not so complicated, those who were older knew that some people from their hometown were relatively difficult to deal with. Originally thought the Li family coming with so many people might cause a scene, and it wasn't that no one gave Liang Yuemei eye drops or played tricks privately, but Liang Yuemei wouldn't make trouble, so the joke couldn't be seen.

Quite good.

Li Long went to the vegetable garden to take a look, he could do this work, but Du Chunfang didn't let him touch it, just saying he was so tired from going out, so don't be busy, rest for a while, and it would be time to cook later.

Starting the fire was naturally at Li Jianguo's place. Li Long's own things were complete, but there was no need.

"Little Long, did you get anything this time?" Li Qing Xia asked directly. He actually considered that he had figured Li Long out, usually, he wouldn't come back without getting something.

"Got a mother deer, with a deer baby." Li Long said with a smile, "The deer baby was born yesterday, I happened to run into it when I went hunting, and then caught it."

"Small deer baby, that's quite rare, put in the horse number?"

"Hmm, put in the horse number together. There are two deer babies and one roe deer baby in the big courtyard in the county," Li Long's tone carried pride, "But this wasn't caught by me, it was given by a friend. I'll raise it in the big courtyard for a few days, and then send it back."

"Fine, fine, raising this rare thing, really not bad!" Li Qing Xia walked south and north when he was young, experienced big things, so he knew about deer being treasures all over. A deer could sell for quite a lot of money, this was good stuff!

In those legends, deer were immortal beasts!

After eating, Li Long hadn't gone to the horse number yet, when Tao Daqiang and the others came over.

Li Long took a look, laughed, Tao Daqiang, Xie Yun Dong, etc., most were people who wove carrying poles last year, what surprised him most was that Xu Chengjun also came over.

Xu Jianjun didn't come, estimated he didn't have the face to come over either.

"Go, go, go, go to my courtyard." Li Long said with a smile, "My brother's place is small, not good to stay."

"Fine, actually staying in the courtyard is also fine." Since Xu Chengjun came over, naturally he was the leader. Li Long spoke, then he followed.

Arriving at his own courtyard, Li Long wasn't polite either, directly saying:

"Captain, is it about weaving carrying poles?"

"Knew you could guess it. Just give a clear word, is there this job this year?"

"Should be able to get it, still have to wait and see." Li Long wouldn't say the words dead, "If there is, it will be at the end of the month."

"If there is, it's good." Xu Chengjun said, "This year say it in advance, this matter I occupy a quota."

"What?" Li Long was stunned for a moment, "Captain, no way? You go over? You go over to weave carrying poles? That can't be, right? What about the team?"

"What can't be? The work of sowing in the team is basically finished. Next is weeding, fertilizing, and watering, this work is not so troublesome, everyone can do it. Now it's just spring, still a few months until autumn harvest, children go to school, family adds things, my family also needs money, this captain doesn't have much money, I don't earn money, what about the family?"

Xu Chengjun said pitifully, but Li Long didn't believe a word.

The Fourth Team could develop to later, had unique conditions, big place, many resources. But to say it had nothing to do with Xu Chengjun, that was really impossible. To give a simplest example, the first village in the whole township to engage in drip irrigation demonstration was the Fourth Team, this project was a support project of the autonomous region, the autonomous region directly allocated 16 million for transformation, without each household paying a cent.

Subsequent transformations in other villages, each household paid more or less some money.

This project was asked for by Xu Chengjun, no matter how people got this project, and what benefits they got from it, no one in the village cared, everyone at least remembered his benefits. Without him, this project couldn't fall on the Fourth Team.

Drip irrigation was available, the highest yield of cotton suddenly turned from two or three hundred kilograms to five or six hundred kilograms, the yield went up, farmers started to earn money—those two years were really wild earning money.

Of course, later it was restricted, not allowed to plant cotton on all land, must ensure planting a certain amount of grain, the private drilled wells were pulled out, the water volume was reduced...

Later words not mentioned.

Of course, Xu Chengjun had been the village director for so many years, to say he didn't get benefits was certain, people don't do it for themselves, heaven destroys and earth destroys, everyone didn't feel he was a saint either. Once drip irrigation started, he let his nephew open a drip irrigation tape factory, first step, had the first opportunity, this factory closed eyes and collected money.

It was a pity that later the competition was too big, plus didn't keep the money, finally not very good.

Later words later words.

But at least Xu Chengjun said himself so miserably, Li Long didn't believe it. In this position, although there was no salary at this time, subsidies were certain, plus so many contracting fees from contracting land, hand in a part, the team must still keep a part.

"Captain, just tell the truth, you say so, I'm scared. You all should cry poor, then who in the team can get rich?" Li Long didn't eat this set, said with a smile, "Put the words here, if there is work, I definitely still give it to the people in our team to do."

"Meaningful." Xu Chengjun said with a smile, "Since you don't look at me, don't want me, then I have no way, I push a few people to you, look, how about it?"

"Then you say."

Both sides knew the situation this year, after contracting land to households, the role of the village two committees was not as obvious as before. More of it existed in the form of assistance and service and communication. Villagers farmed and earned money themselves, selling grain and handing in public grain was also going to the grain bureau themselves, so like Li Long doing such carrying pole work, it could completely bypass the village committee.

Last year the village committee extracted money for each carrying pole, and the big broom too. This year Li Long could completely not go through the village committee to recruit villagers, like weaving reed poles last year, so that more money would fall to him and the villagers.

Both knew, so Xu Chengjun's purpose for coming was a bit hard to say.

Li Long originally intended to earn a sum of money, could appropriately donate some things to the village, but since Xu Chengjun came over, then look at his conditions. Bringing a few people naturally had no problem, but if it was like Xu Jianjun last year, then Li Long wouldn't agree. He found people to work and earn money, not to find a living father to supply.

"Xie Yun Dong, you definitely have to bring him, right?" Xu Chengjun patted Xie Yun Dong beside him and said, "Things in the mountains, still have to find someone familiar like him."

"That's natural, Xie Yun Dong brother, I don't need to say, I have to go find him." Li Long said with a smile, "This matter of bringing people to work, still have to point to Xie Yun Dong brother, I am still responsible for inspection, last year we cooperated very well."

Xie Yun Dong felt steady in his heart. Although he had his own strengths, whether to use him or not was up to Li Long, after all, it wasn't like last year. Now there was this accurate word, he could sleep a steady sleep when going back tonight.

"Daqiang naturally doesn't need to say, you have a good relationship, and he weaves carrying poles fast, this doesn't need to say." Xu Chengjun pointed to a few people again, all were people who worked steadily, Li Long nodded one by one.

Subsequently Xu Chengjun said another one:

"My big father's son, Xu Xu Laohu, look at whether you can bring him?"

Xu Xu Laohu's big name was Xu Fei Hu, also a smart person in the village. Li Long vaguely remembered that later after he engaged in drip irrigation for cotton, first he contracted quite a lot of land, with the development of mechanization, basically sitting and earning money, but later he was set up on the gambling table by others, not only lost the money, but those contracting land contracts were also mortgaged.

But the person was still quite smart, later first raised sheep, borrowed the rise in mutton price to earn a sum, and then invested in rural housing renovation and decoration, considered a successful turnaround.

Li Long didn't have much contact with this person, at this time didn't hear about any bad habits, usually meeting was also smiling, Li Long didn't refuse.

Seeing Li Long didn't refuse, the smile on Xu Chengjun's face was there, continuing to say:

!.

"Also, Dejun is also young..."

Xu Dejun was Xu Jianjun's brother, own brother. The Xu family was a big family, not only the Fourth Team had several households, but also in certain townships to the north, and also in other counties, considered to have come to this side relatively early, could be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty, considered local sitting households.

If Xu Chengjun mentioned Xu Jianjun, Li Long would refuse even if he offended the captain. But he mentioned Xu Dejun, Li Long hesitated. Xu Dejun although was Xu Jianjun's brother, the two people's personalities were completely different. Xu Jianjun separated after marriage, Xu Dejun lived with his parents—a bit similar to Tao Daqiang.

Xu Dejun didn't have any bad habits at this time, twenty-one or twenty-two years old, said to have an object, don't know if he intended to marry this year either. Li Long thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"Fine, let him come then."

"Then..." Xu Chengjun saw Li Long agreed again, this smile was even happier, he still wanted to speak, Li Long hurriedly waved his hand:

"Captain, I don't know how many carrying pole jobs I can take this year, now it's not appropriate to fix the people. If too many people are fixed, then there is little work, everyone doesn't earn much money and isn't happy. Let's be like this for now, wait until the work is fixed and then say, how about it?"

This Xu Chengjun alone pointed to two Xu family people, Li Long felt it was enough. Otherwise people thought this job was gotten by the Xu family, Li Long although didn't intend to be Guan Gong, but borrowing work, pulling closer the relationship with these steady people in the team, and letting the human feelings fall to the team, he wasn't willing either.

"Fine, fine then." Xu Chengjun although a bit regretful, knew he could go to hand in the errand. He was not only the village director of this village, but also had prestige in the family. Where did this prestige come from, didn't it mean helping people in the family solve things. Now being able to get two quotas was not bad.

"Then first ventilate, it will definitely still be necessary to live in the mountains later, hardship is certain, earning money is naturally certain. Weaving one carrying pole can earn at least two or three yuan, according to Daqiang's speed, one day can earn ten or twenty yuan. However, living in the mountains, this year is not like last year, if you want to have someone cook like last year, everyone has to pay for the meal. Of course, earning more than last year, taking out a few yuan to find someone to cook is not impossible..."

Last year the team extracted money, so Old Gu cooked, the condition was giving Old Gu work points. This year the team didn't act as a middleman, then those who weave carrying poles want to eat ready-made meals, they have to take a part from the money they get.

However, no matter how you say it, it's better than staying at home idle.

This matter was basically decided like this, as for the specific details, it could only be said after the work was fixed.

After this matter was said, Xu Chengjun and the others asked Li Long about the situation in the mountains, knowing that there were already people digging for fritillaria in the mountains, they felt a bit regretful. In the past, the team could organize people from the sideline team to enter the mountains to dig for fritillaria, now with the forestry team, one couldn't dig for fritillaria in the mountains at will, although there were people drilling loopholes, but if caught, not only fritillaria confiscated, but people might also have to squat in the detention center for a few days, not worth it.

After Xu Chengjun and Xie Yun Dong left, Tao Daqiang didn't leave, he asked Li Long about hunting.

"Sigh, luck has been bad these few days." Li Long roughly talked about the encounters during this period, and also told about Sun Jia Qiang treating rock salt as a gemstone, which made Tao Daqiang laugh out loud.

"During this period after the work in the fields is finished, I intend to catch fish and sell fish with Qiangqiang's grandfather, same as last year." Tao Daqiang said his plan, "As for the carrying pole matter, look at the situation."

"Fine, you look at it yourself." Li Long circled in his brain before understanding, Qiangqiang's grandfather wasn't his own father? This was also good, he was still a bit worried about his father catching fish alone in the small sea, having Daqiang take care of it was also good. Even if going to the county to sell fish, he didn't worry about anyone looking for trouble. Both had bicycles, coming and going was also convenient, earning money was also easy to divide, neither were people who were too calculating, just right for cooperation.

After this matter was said, Li Long said to his family, then added water and oil to the tractor, and also filled two oil drums and put them in the bucket and packed them, started it and went to the county.

Tomorrow he couldn't go into the mountains, needed to take the driver's license test at the county agricultural machinery. Because it was an open-book test, Li Long didn't care much, couldn't even turn the page?

As for the practical assessment of drilling poles, Li Long determined that among all those who took the driver's license test in the whole county, not many could drive more smoothly than him. After all, driving a tractor, just one reversing, could stump more than eighty percent of people.

This was a real technical job!

When leaving, Li Long went to the horse number again, pulled a few bundles of grass. After all, the small deer were still being raised in the big courtyard, couldn't not give them food.

Then went to the Gu family, Gu Bo Yuan happened to be picking alfalfa in the courtyard. Now alfalfa had grown, he finished the work in the fields, pinched some and intended to mix and steam it to eat. This thing had relatively more crude fiber, beneficial for defecation, of course now people didn't care about that much, only knew that before the vegetables in the vegetable garden grew up, this could be eaten as a vegetable.

Seeing Li Long come over, Gu Bo Yuan pointed to the alfalfa he had picked and said:

"Just happened you came, take some to the county when you leave, mixing and eating is quite tasty."

Li Long said with a smile:

"Just happened I'm going to the county, tomorrow tractor license test, enter the mountains the day after tomorrow, this I'll take."

He deliberately wanted to carry the picked one, Gu Bo Yuan glared at him:

"You are really good at eating, just take the good ones, my eyes are not good, picked for a long time to pick out such a little..."

"Hey, that's not for me to eat, it's for Xiaoxia, you are reluctant?" Li Long teased Gu Bo Yuan.

"Reluctant, reluctant, take it away." Gu Bo Yuan naturally knew Li Long was joking with him, waved his hand, "You all have your own things, I am idle here, nothing to do, pick more and there will be everything. This city life also has bad places, everything has to be bought, staying in the rural village, grab a handful anywhere and it's enough to eat."

This year Gu Bo Yuan didn't contract land, just the distributed land was enough to plant. He lived alone without too big a pursuit, eating enough and wearing warm was enough, so the idle time was still there.

Li Long followed him to pick alfalfa—the so-called picking alfalfa, actually was picking out the grass and other dirty things in the picked alfalfa, there were relatively old ones, cut off the old stem and didn't want it. Only after cleaning it like this was it good to rectify and eat, whether steaming or cold mixing was not bad.

Li Long worked for a while and was driven away by Gu Bo Yuan, and what he brought along was half a basket of about two or three kilograms of picked alfalfa. Li Long actually wanted to bring the unpicked one, Gu Bo Yuan didn't let him, saying he had a lot of time, and nothing to do, just happened to find something for himself to do.

Fine, fools all knew this was the care of parents for children, Li Long didn't insist anymore.

The tractor started and drove out of the village towards the west, on the way ran into some students returning late, thought Li Juan and Li Juan should have arrived home to do homework.

When the tractor drove to the crossroads of the township and turned left to the road leading to the county, Li Long's peripheral vision vaguely saw a figure quite familiar, he didn't care, until he drove to the county did he remember, wasn't that Wu Shufen? Seemed she was also holding a child.

Doesn't matter. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 450 =====
