Her father wasn't good at managing the household and was in poor health. Although they hadn't reached the point of having no grain left at home, if they continued to spend more than they earned like this, they really wouldn't be able to survive by spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This twenty yuan was not an exaggeration to call it \"sending charcoal in snow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the room, Gu Xiaoxia told Gu Bowuan the news that Li Long said the school would expand in the spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he sure this news is reliable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Long said it's reliable. He runs around outside and knows many people; it was said by a leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... you should start reviewing from now on. Pick up those original lessons. If they really recruit people, there will definitely be an exam.\" Gu Bowuan thought for a moment and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a great thing, but you'd better not tell anyone else...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? I also wanted to tell Shufen about this... she also graduated from junior high school...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think will happen if you tell Wu Shufen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What will happen?\" Gu Xiaoxia hadn't realized the malice of human nature, and her eyes were a bit blank, \"I'll tell her to keep it a secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She'll keep it a secret? She'll definitely tell her mother, and then the whole team will know. By then, how many competitors will you have for the exam?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gu Bowuan said this, Gu Xiaoxia broke into a cold sweat in hindsight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Long was able to tell you this because he wanted you to pass the exam by then.\" Gu Bowuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, \"Then you just review well. When the exam really comes, strive to be selected, and that will be worthy of his painstaking efforts. As for the rest, don't think too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn't us being stingy; this is about your lifelong matter—once you pass the exam, you'll be eating commodity grain from now on. And if you let the news out, it's very likely that someone will use connections, and by then you won't pass the exam, planning to farm for the rest of your life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaoxia nodded slowly: \"I know.\" She now understood how much of a favor she owed Li Long; this was truly about her lifelong matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Long gave the money, he turned and left the Gu family. On the way back, he ran into several people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haijun, Gu Ermao, Tian Siping, Wu Shufen, and two other girls from the team, Liu Tianfeng and Wei Yuanfang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Long, Xu Haijun was a bit surprised and said with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Long, we just came out of your house—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Went to my house?\" Li Long smiled, \"I went to find Xiaoxia's dad to write couplets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I heard you killed a wolf in the mountains, we wanted to go over and see the wolf skin and stuff.\" Xu Haijun said, \"You weren't there, your brother let us see it, that wolf... did you really kill it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" Li Long nodded, \"Do you think killing a wolf is very dangerous? I don't know about others, but I'm not. It's just lying in ambush there, waiting for the wolf to come over, aiming, and firing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder.\" Gu Ermao's tone was full of disdain, \"I just said, it must not be difficult, otherwise how could you, Li Long, hit it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long was a bit surprised, how did Gu Ermao appear again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard from Li Jianguo that because the matter of reporting Li Long had spread, Gu Ermao hadn't had the face to stay in the team for the past two days, and his father, Gu Laoda, had sent him to his uncle's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ermao didn't mean that,\" Xu Haijun wanted to scold as soon as he heard Gu Ermao's voice. Does this guy not have a brain? He hurriedly smoothed things over:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He just came back from his uncle's house today—Ermao is now learning to drive as an apprentice with a truck driver in his uncle's team...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long thought to himself, no wonder, so he had confidence now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you want to step on me to show off in front of a few girls, that's dreaming, he sneered and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ermao, that's quite a big tone! But don't blame me for speaking unpleasantly, with your courage, even if you were lying in ambush waiting for the wolf to come over like me, you wouldn't dare to shoot! Maybe when you see the wolf coming, you'll be so scared you'll wet your pants! Don't believe it? Hehe, then kill a wolf first before talking big!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ermao was originally quite proud, after all, he was now a truck driver apprentice and had the opportunity to become a truck driver. In this day and age, workers, drivers, and salespeople were all very popular and enviable professions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he dared to come out today, and after saying this, sure enough, the way others looked at him changed, and the original contemptuous look turned into envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he had the courage to follow and see Li Long's wolf. After all, even if Li Long made more money, at most he was doing small business, and doing this in this day and age was shameful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't you see that the way Wu Shufen, Liu Tianfeng, and the others looked at him was different?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally thought Li Long would look at him with envy, but he didn't expect that not only did he not look at his opportunity, but he said he didn't have the courage, exposing his scar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Gu Ermao was about to get angry on the spot, but Xu Haijun hurriedly stopped him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ermao, what are you doing? Everyone is from the same team, just joking, right Little Long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, if he thinks this is a joke, then it's a joke. If he thinks this isn't a joke, then kill a wolf first before talking. Being an apprentice doesn't count for anything, some people follow a truck master for three years and are still apprentices,\" Li Long said with a half-smile, \"But as for character and courage, it's not something you can just say with your mouth, you have to prove it with strength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, he glanced at Gu Ermao, not hiding the contempt in his eyes at all, and then said to Xu Haijun:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys go ahead, I have to get up early tomorrow for something, so I won't chat, I'm leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, he strode toward home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he felt that chatting and farting with these people at night, visiting this family and that family, was a waste of life. With this time, it's better to think more about how to improve life and live his own life better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, that Wei Yuanfang, her family situation is similar to Gu Xiaoxia's, but she didn't think about how to live a better life like Gu Xiaoxia, and spent all day visiting this family and that family with Xu Haijun and the others. He didn't feel it before, and felt it was quite lively, but now it seems, it's really a bit of a waste of time and wasting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least Gu Xiaoxia knows how to make progress and knows how to find ways to improve her family's life, what about them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning home, Li Long showed the couplets to Li Jianguo and then put them in the spare room. Pasting couplets has to wait until New Year's Eve, it's still early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before dawn the next day, Li Long ate breakfast, went to the horse stable to hitch the horse cart, returned to the Li family to load the fish, and Tao Daqiang also came over. The two drove the horse cart to the county first, bought buns as usual, and planned to eat while going to Shicheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, when buying buns, someone in the shop pulled Li Long and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little comrade, was it you selling fish at our door last time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long took a look, it was indeed the person who told them not to sell fish at the door last time, so he asked with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, may I ask what's the matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you get some more fish?\" That person pulled Li Long aside and whispered, \"The New Year is coming soon, our canteen wants to add some dishes, but it's not easy to do without fish. In addition, we also want to buy some fish to distribute as benefits to the staff...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Li Long smiled and said, \"How much do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've inquired, the fish you sell are all over two kilograms, I want ten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, two yuan each, I'll bring them over to you in a while, how about that? Is any fish okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have them now? That's great, five carp, the rest can be a mix of grass carp, silver carp, etc.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time they brought more than forty large fish over two kilograms, and about twenty kilograms of evenly sized crucian carp the size of a palm. Li Long took the buns out to give to Tao Daqiang to eat, he took a urea bag and loaded ten fish, and walked into the meat canteen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person was waiting, and seeing Li Long bring the fish, a smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After counting the fish, that person took out two large unity notes and handed them to Li Long:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little comrade, this fish is not bad, if there is a need in the future, I will look for you again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, we will also come in the summer, and by then they will be alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the meat canteen, the two of them went to Shicheng in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to book friend Lanshanzhiyun for the reward, thanks to book friend 20230531110743499 for the reward, thanks to everyone for the monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and various suggestions and opinions.
