Chapter 554

Gu Xiaoxia looked at Li Xia very kindly. After greeting Li Qing Xia and Chen Xingbang and asking about the situation, she took Li Xia's hand and asked this and that, which surprised Li Xia.

"Sister, look, both of our names have 'Xia', this is fate." Gu Xiaoxia said with a smile, "I heard Li Long say before that he had a sister named Li Xia, and I was curious at that time, thinking about what you looked like, and now looking at it, you look about the same as I thought."

Li Xia really didn't expect Gu Xiaoxia to be so enthusiastic and kind. In her opinion, a national cadre, or a cadre in the county, is a bigger official than the township leader!

So young, so beautiful, Li Xia felt for a moment that her younger brother Li Long was climbing high. She was also worried about how to contact her sister-in-law, after all, people are officials.

But after contact, she found that Gu Xiaoxia had no airs at all, so kind, feeling like she had an extra younger sister, not strange at all.

Gu Xiaoxia also gave her a new headscarf to Li Xia. Li Xia blushed and didn't want it. Li Long said on the side:

"Sister, just take it, first meeting, this is Xiaoxia's heart."

"Then I am still a sister, didn't prepare anything..." Li Xia felt very embarrassed.

"Then this is not here. When you, brother-in-law, and Hongqin are settled in Shicheng, we will go over to play then, you can prepare something then, we guarantee not to pick."

Gu Xiaoxia's words made Li Xia feel much better. Also, her family came over so hurriedly, where did she have the time to prepare. A few days ago, she came out of the village, just like playing hide-and-seek with others to avoid pursuit, how could she say that?

It's no wonder that on the car and getting off the car, she could clearly feel that whether it was her father or her husband, they were much more relaxed after arriving in Northern Xinjiang, and they were also much more comfortable.

This place is different.

"Let's go, go to the canteen to eat, after eating I will drive the tractor back to the team. Xiaoxia, are you going back?"

"I won't go back first." Gu Xiaoxia shook her head, "There are still some things to deal with in the evening."

"Okay, go, eat first."

The canteen is not far from the big courtyard. The whole family went out and walked over. The acquisition station was also off work. When Chen Hongjun pushed his bicycle out and saw Li Long and the others, he greeted with a smile:

"Comrade Xiao Li, what are you doing?"

"My dad, sister, and brother-in-law came from my hometown, I'm taking them to eat."

"Oh, old man is good, you are good!" Chen Hongjun greeted hurriedly, "Comrade Gu is good!" He attended Li Long's wedding and recognized Gu Xiaoxia.

Among them, Li Xia's face was considered strange.

After chatting for a few words, Chen Hongjun left by bike, and Li Long took the initiative to tell Li Xia:

"Sister, this is the purchaser of the acquisition station. I first earned money from him, that was collecting deer antlers in the mountains and selling them to him, it seems less than twenty yuan? Later, it slowly increased."

Li Xia listened to Chen Xingbang talk about Li Long's "history of making a fortune", and nodded while listening.

Arriving at the canteen, Li Long asked for the opinions of others. Li Qing Xia and Chen Xingbang wanted to eat over-oiled meat noodles. Li Xia hadn't eaten it, and didn't eat it at the Wucheng train station before, mainly worried that she couldn't get used to it.

So Li Long ordered rice for them, ordered pork, cabbage, and vermicelli stew, and spicy chicken pieces. Gu Xiaoxia accompanied Li Xia and Hongqin to eat rice.

In her hometown, Li Xia's family rarely ate rice, mainly because the local area didn't produce rice, and this fine grain was difficult to buy. Chen Xingbang didn't have much money at home before going to Northern Xinjiang, and later gave Li Xia a sum of money before going again, but Li Xia didn't dare to move much.

Mainly worried that the parents-in-law would find trouble if they saw Li Xia spending money.

After all, in their view, even if Chen Xingbang was separated, the money earned should have a share of them.

At this time, eating rice, it feels really fragrant.

When eating, Zhong Guo Qiang came to say hello. He already knew that Li Long hadn't caught fish for a long time, but he joked and asked Li Long when he would catch fish again, especially in winter, to leave him big carp, no matter how much he wanted.

Li Long agreed jokingly.

Li Xia then learned another way for Li Long to earn money.

After eating, walking back to the big courtyard, Hongqin couldn't wait to climb onto the tractor, she hadn't sat on it yet!

There was a bicycle tied to the tractor, and a bag of things. Li Long explained:

"This bicycle is bought for Li Juan and Li Qiang. They go to school far away, so I thought about buying a bicycle, let Li Juan take Li Qiang together, and they can get to school faster."

Student dolls walk four or five kilometers to school every day, which takes at least an hour. According to Li Juan's current diligence in learning, Li Long felt that saving time on going to and from school would make it very likely to be admitted to high school.

In his previous life, Li Juan didn't pass the exam, and didn't pass the exam after repeating, and then went to learn tailoring. The reason for not passing the exam, maybe it was not because of his Li Long.

In this life, try to make up for it.

Li Qing Xia and Li Xia felt it was normal, but Chen Xingbang couldn't help but start comparing. You bought things for Li Juan and Li Qiang, your sister came, you didn't prepare anything?

Then he mocked himself and smiled. He really thought too much. The courtyard he lived in was rented by Li Long, and the first business he opened was also a sheep Li Long got for him. What is he thinking?

The tractor drove out of the courtyard, Gu Xiaoxia waved at them, and then watched the tractor puffing black smoke and drove away.

She closed the courtyard door, buckled the buckle, returned to the room, and began to deal with her own affairs.

Gu Xiaoxia really felt Li Xia was kind, not polite words.

She lived with Gu Bo Yuan since she was a child, and some physiological common sense was taught to her by Liang Yuemei and other neighbor aunts.

Facing Liang Yuemei when talking about objects with Li Long, it was a bit embarrassing. After all, she used to call Liang Yuemei aunt, and after marriage, she called her sister-in-law, which was really uncomfortable.

Second sister-in-law Chen Li Rong is a person who doesn't talk much, and other people in the village, because Gu Xiaoxia became a national cadre, basically couldn't talk together.

Now seeing Li Xia, the age difference between the two is not very big, Li Xia is younger than Yang Da Jie, and somewhat has some common topics with Gu Xiaoxia.

Moreover, Li Xia had never returned to her hometown, and was somewhat curious about Li Long's hometown.

It's just that Li Xia will soon go to Shicheng to live. Gu Xiaoxia thought that when she had time later, she really had to go to Shicheng with Li Long to take a look, of course, when she had a holiday, she could also go to Kuitun to take a look.

Li Long drove the tractor puffing towards the team. At this time, middle school and primary school had already been off school, and there were few people on the road. The sun set, and when the tractor came out of the county, it felt hot wind, and when it was about to reach the township, it had become cool wind.

Looking at the boundless wilderness and scattered families, Li Xia couldn't help but ask Chen Xingbang:

"Are the rural areas here all like this? You can't see a few families so far away?"

"Most of them are like this." Chen Xingbang said loudly, "Otherwise, how can a family be divided into so much land?"

Li Xia suddenly felt that it was actually quite good to stay in the village. She was not afraid of working. If her family had ten or twenty mu of land, she felt that life would be very good.

She liked Li Long's big courtyard in the county, but she liked the semi-open type more, where she could plant some vegetables, which was the kind of courtyard the eldest brother described.

She liked staying in the rural area, of course, the kind in her hometown didn't count. In the past month, she experienced things she had never thought of before. The sisters-in-law and aunts who chatted well before, how could their mouths become so vicious?

From the township to the east, Li Long slowed down. This is still a dirt road for the time being, and if it is driven fast, the people sitting in the car bucket will become gray-faced.

Hongqin stood up and held the railing in front of the car bucket, trying to look out. Although there was wind, she was not afraid, but very excited.

This is the feeling of sitting on a tractor!

Really magical! Really fast!

The tractor drove into the team and turned towards the Li family courtyard.

When the puffing sound came, the families passing by looked curiously, wondering which tractor the Li family was?

And the people in the Li family courtyard were all excited, and one by one came to the door.

Du Chunfang, Li Jianguo, Liang Yuemei, Chen Li Rong, the most excited were the four children.

Xueping and Li Xue Qin were excited to tell Li Juan and Li Qiang about Hongqin, this younger sister.

Li Juan and Li Qiang saw the woman and girl in the car, and the bicycle tied to it.

Who is this bicycle bought for?

The tractor didn't drive into the courtyard, but stopped at the courtyard door.

Li Jianguo's tractor was parked in the courtyard. Because he didn't expect Li Long to come back, he didn't leave a space.

Getting off the car, Du Chunfang shouted first:

"Xiaoxia—!"

Li Xia immediately ran towards her mother. No matter how big the child is, she is still a child in front of her parents. If she is wronged, the first thing she thinks of is to find her parents to confide in, and Li Xia is no exception.

The father is always a bit big-hearted, thinking about revenge, while the mother will think about whether the daughter is wronged or not.

After Hongqin was picked up and hugged off the car by Li Long, she looked at the four children with some fear, and then recognized Xueping and Li Xue Qin.

"Hongqin, this is Dajuan, this is brother." Xueping pulled her and said, "We are all one family."

Then she saw the doll in Hongqin's arms, it's so big!

After finishing the messy greeting, they entered the courtyard.

Li Long took the bicycle down first, pushed it into the courtyard, and said to Li Juan:

"This bicycle will be yours from now on..."

"How can that work?" Liang Yuemei didn't expect Li Long to buy a bicycle for Li Juan, and refused hurriedly. "Sister-in-law, this is for Juan to ride to school, take Qiangqiang, can save some time, and learn more at school. It will be more certain to pass the high school exam."

Li Long's words left Liang Yuemei with no room to refute.

Yes, letting the child ride a bicycle to school can save a lot of time. After all, it takes more than an hour to go to and from school every day, reading on the road?

It's bad for the eyes, and will make classmates laugh. Of course, the adults they meet won't laugh, but will use this to encourage their own children.

Li Juan's diligence in learning is seen by the family, and at this moment she really likes looking at the bicycle.

Seeing that sister-in-law had no objection, Li Long didn't say much, and then took the bag off the tractor and called the five children together.

"I went to Wucheng and brought a toy for each of you."

"I know, I know, I saw Hongqin's doll." Xueping said.

Xueping is more outgoing than Li Xue Qin, considered self-acquainted.

Li Long opened the bag, inside were three toy dolls of different colors, animals, and two boxes.

!.

"Juan, this is yours, you are older, toy dolls are not very suitable for you, this is a set of hair-tying tools, inside there are some ribbons and hairpins, you can try to tie your hair yourself."

At this time, the age when girls love beauty is slightly older. After forty years, seven or eight-year-old girls have already started to love beauty.

Li Juan really likes this box. After she opened it, she looked at the things inside, there were small mirrors, small combs, ribbons, and hairpins.

The popular clips now are the thin black ones, while the ones Li Long bought for Li Juan are colored. Although they are still somewhat single compared to later generations, they are already very beautiful in the eyes of people now.

"Qiangqiang, inside this box is a toy gun, I know the one I gave you before is broken, this is another one for you, cherish it this time."

"Good, little uncle!" Li Qiang was very happy, took the box and ran away.

Hongqin stood on the side, looking curiously. She already had one, so she was watching the distribution to others at this time. In fact, she also wanted another one, but didn't dare to say it.

"Xueping, Li Xue Qin, these two dolls are yours. You can exchange them when you want to play." Li Long took out two big dolls from the bag and gave them to the sisters.

Both girls held the dolls happily, with smiles on their faces.

There was another box in the bag, inside were five small dolls.

The children looked at the box Li Long took out and were a little puzzled, are there still children?

"This box is for Hongqin, do you know why?" Li Long asked with a smile.

Hongqin herself was also full of surprise and confusion.

"Because I have given toys to everyone before, this is the first time Hongqin and I have met, so I have to buy an extra toy for her, do you agree?"

"Agree!" Li Juan said loudly.

"I also agree!" Li Qiang also said loudly.

Xueping and Li Xue Qin looked at each other, in fact, they also wanted the doll in the box, but thinking of Li Long's words, they shouted together:

"Agree!"

"Good, all good children." Li Long smiled, handed the doll to Hongqin, then stood up and touched her head, and said to Li Juan:

"Juan, take the younger brothers and sisters to play."

"Okay, little uncle." Li Juan responded and took the children away.

Watching Li Long distribute toys here, the family members listened and watched. After Li Long finished distributing the toys, Li Jianguo said with a smile:

"Without Xiao Long is not bad, and has the patience to explain to the dolls."

"Heh, really good." Du Chunfang didn't know if she was saying that most of the family was reunited or that Li Long was distributing dolls.

Li Xia looked at the eldest brother's courtyard, thinking of what Chen Xingbang said before, this courtyard is really big.

And the courtyard is planted with all kinds of vegetables, most of which are mature now, and it looks comfortable.

I heard that Li Long's courtyard is bigger, how big must that be!

Li Xia really didn't want to go to Shicheng at this moment, if she could stay here, with her father, mother, and eldest brother, how good!

The sky gradually darkened, the family members chatting in the courtyard didn't decrease their interest, Li Jianguo cut two big watermelons and placed them on the low table, adults mostly eat two or three pieces at this time, but the children eat more.

The lights in the courtyard lit up. This light was modified under Li Long's suggestion, leading an electric wire from the room and connecting a lamp head.

At this time, the modification of electricity was really barbaric. Pulling down the electric gate, modifying a lamp, modifying a socket were all minor things, and changing a fuse was also a small thing.

Of course, the wires and electrical appliances at this time were not as complicated as in later generations. There was only one main gate in the house, and if there was a problem, it was usually the fuse that burned out.

Unlike later generations, there are so many electrical appliances, there is a row of things at the switch, and you can't repair that thing yourself, and you don't understand it when you look at it.

Maybe it's professional, safe, but also troublesome.

The big light was on, and a group of mosquitoes and insects were attracted around the light, and there were many bats flying around in the courtyard, they were attracted by mosquitoes and insects.

Children will scream when they see bats. Most children of this size have not seen the true face of bats, plus this thing is very fast, they only see a shadow, so they will be very curious.

Mysterious things will arouse curiosity.

Li Xia and Hongqin were really surprised by the use of electricity here. The village in their hometown had not yet been connected to electricity, and the house still used kerosene lamps.

Li Qing Xia saw that there were many mosquitoes outside, so he turned on the TV in the room, lit the mosquito coil, and let the children watch TV.

Other families saw that Li's family had people from their hometown, and came to the courtyard door to watch TV, so they greeted and left.

The family knew that Chen Xingbang would take Li Xia and Hongqin to Shicheng tomorrow, so they chatted very late at night.

This can also be considered a relatively complete reunion of the family in a year.

In the future, it may only be possible to wait until the New Year.

At night, Li Xia couldn't see the outline of Li Long's courtyard. They chatted until very late before going to sleep, and the children had already been forced to go to sleep.

Two courtyards, squeezing is enough to settle these people.

The next morning, Li Xia saw Li Long's courtyard.

The eldest brother's courtyard was already exaggerated enough in her eyes, Li Long's courtyard made her even more shocked, is this a courtyard? This old society's landlord in her hometown wouldn't make such a big courtyard, right?

Of course, she had seen too little. She really hadn't seen it.

After breakfast, Li Long drove the tractor and sent people away puffing. Mainly because Chen Xingbang's leave had a time limit.

This time Li Juan didn't sit on the tractor, she rode her new bicycle to school, while Li Qiang sat on the tractor—he felt that it was not easy to sit on a tractor once, so it was better than riding a bicycle.

When Li Long drove the tractor away, Xu Jianjun came to Xu Chengjun's house.

Xu Chengjun is Xu Jianjun's cousin, he didn't buy Li's seeds, and had been regretting it.

This time he came to probe the news.

"Brother Chengjun, what do you think the Li family wants to do? Bringing people from their hometown here one by one, do they want to form a family in our team?"

Xu Chengjun looked at him, really didn't want to talk to such a stupid person.

Seeing Xu Chengjun not speaking, Xu Jianjun thought he was reasonable, and continued:

"Li Long moved his father and mother's household registration to the team, but his brother and sister's household registration can't be moved later, otherwise his power will be big in the future..."

Xu Chengjun scolded angrily:

"What is your surname?"

"Xu, does this still need to be asked?"

"Then what is my surname?"

"Of course it is also Xu, you are my brother." Xu Jianjun said with a smile.

"Then what about Navy, Dejun, Xu Fei Hu?"

"That..." Xu Jianjun turned his brain a bit, damn it, the biggest family in the team turned out to be his own family?

"Besides, can people look at your small place? His second brother is a formal worker in Kuitun, and his brother-in-law will soon be a formal worker in Shicheng. Can people come back to be farmers? You are just a dung beetle rolling a dung ball, treating shit as a treasure!" (End of chapter)
