Chapter 95: Let Yourself Live Well, Let Your Family Live Well
"Why bring so much meat? Juan, Qiangqiang, and Xiao Long are all growing, you keep it to eat!" As soon as Liang Donglou saw Li Jianguo and the others brought so many things, he first scolded Liang Yuemei.
The son-in-law is a guest, so he certainly couldn't be scolded. In Liang Donglou’s place, although Li Long was about the same age as Liang Wenyu, he was classified with Li Juan and Li Qiang, counting as a child, so he certainly couldn't be scolded, so he could only scold his daughter.
"Dad, there’s still plenty of meat at home, there are still two pigs, two sheep, and yellow sheep, and there must be over a hundred kilograms of fish, we won't be able to finish eating until the ice melts," Li Jianguo laughed. "There’s no shortage of meat at home this year, don't worry."
Then he turned his head to Du Haihua:
"Haihua, I remember you like to eat fish, and your Tengyuan also likes to eat fish, go to my house to get some when you have time, there’s plenty!"
Because Du Haihua lived close to the Liang family, he could often take care of things at the Liang family, so he was a bit boisterous when speaking and doing things at the Liang family, and he didn't have much respect for Li Jianguo.
Du Haihua had nothing to say this time. He could take care of his father-in-law’s family all year round, but it didn't top half a side of pork. Occasionally, he had to accept subsidies from his father-in-law’s family.
"Go, go, go, go into the room, don't freeze the children," Chen Xiuzhu’s focus was all on the two children, she said, "If you have anything to say, say it inside."
People in the nearby houses also came out to watch when they heard the movement. In fact, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, many people liked to watch the bustle, to see if the married daughters of each family would come back, and what they would bring when they came back.
Don't say that dogs look down on people, some people’s vision is only that big. The Liang family had two daughters and one son, the son was small and couldn't support the facade, if the two sons-in-law didn't take care of the father-in-law’s family, inevitably some people would look down on them, and even bully them.
At this time, seeing the eldest daughter’s family of four or five coming, pulling a horse cart and bringing so many things, naturally some people came to ask.
"Sigh, just disobedient," Liang Donglou complained, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden. "Told them not to bring things, but they insisted on bringing them. Look at this meat, fish, how can we finish eating!"
When Liang Yuemei married into the Li family, many people in the team were watching the joke. After all, the Xinhu Brigade where the Li family was located was further from the county town than the production team where the Liang family was located. Although it was only three or five kilometers further, in the eyes of some people, it was still marrying far away, and marrying into a more remote team.
Plus the Li family had a heavy burden, and the Liang family would subsidize them from time to time, which made many people want to watch the joke.
Although Liang Donglou firmly believed he hadn't done anything wrong, and Li Jianguo’s character could stand the test, he was troubled by being unable to explain to others.
Now the Li family had pulled so many things over at once. Although Liang Donglou was unwilling and didn't want the Li family to do so, at least with this performance, it was enough to block the mouths of the people and avoid a lot of right and wrong gossip.
Entering the room, Li Juan pulled Li Qiang to kowtow to Liang Donglou and Chen Xiuzhu for the New Year, and then happily accepted the two New Year red envelopes.
Du Haihua’s family was eating in the room and didn't come out, but now they ran out and played with Li Juan and Li Qiang.
Du Tengyuan was eight years old, just between Li Juan and Li Qiang, and the three cousins had a good relationship. Li Qiang took his clockwork frog, and the three of them ignored the adults and immediately found a place to play.
Li Long paid New Year greetings to the two elders, and actually also got New Year money, which made him blush.
After knowing that these wild boars, sheep, and fish were all obtained by Li Long, the Liang family had a new understanding of this former hooligan.
It was truly no exaggeration to say that they looked at him with new eyes.
"Xiao Long, is it easy to hunt wild boars in the mountains?" Liang Wenyu no longer wore colored glasses to look at Li Long, and asked humbly.
"To say it’s easy to hunt, it’s easy. Find the place, set an ambush, and after the wild boars come down the mountain, it’s like militia training to hit a fixed target. The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle has great power, and you can hit one or two," Li Long didn't hide anything and said openly:
"But to say it’s hard to hunt, it’s hard. After all, after entering the mountains, it’s really not easy to find the traces of wild boars, and when setting an ambush, the place must be chosen well. Wild boars have a keen sense of smell, you have to get to the windward side, if the wild boars smell the scent, they will scatter immediately, and that speed is very fast, you can't aim at all." Liang Wenyu nodded, indicating he understood.
"What about yellow sheep?" Du Haihua thought his marksmanship was not bad, and seeing the Li family’s harvest, he also had the idea of hunting in the mountains.
There was nothing to do in winter, if he could really hunt prey in the mountains, not to mention improving the food, it would also be a good name to say it out.
"Yellow sheep are the same," Li Long said, "As long as you can find the position, the rest is to approach slowly, aim from afar, and find the opportunity to shoot." Li Long thought now that he could hunt so much prey, it was more because of the intelligence information given by Halimu and Yushanjiang.
If there was no such information, even if he could hunt, he would have to spend a lot of effort.
"The most important thing is to know where there are things," Liang Donglou came in from outside the house after talking to the neighbors, and hearing the few people talking at the table, he inserted a sentence, "There are many good things in the mountains, but someone has to know the place."
"Then Xiao Long, where did you know the positions of those wild boars and yellow sheep?" Du Haihua asked.
"I have two herdsman friends in the mountains," Li Long said with a smile, "At first I went into the mountains to pull wood, and I would bring them some things, like brick tea, and they knew I liked hunting, so they took me. They didn't eat the wild boars they hunted, so they gave them all to me."
Thinking about it now, Li Long himself felt the magic of the development and changes of things. Just because of his momentary whim, the things he did later were so smooth.
Thanks to Halimu and Yushanjiang.
The men were cracking melon seeds and chatting in the living room, while the women were busy cooking in the back kitchen.
!.
Liang Xingmei peeled garlic while asking her sister:
"Big Sister, has that Li family’s Xiao Long really changed so much? I remember the time before last when Wenyu came back, he said that because he was a worker, his nose was in the sky, and he was very arrogant!"
"The change is truly big," Liang Yuemei said with a smile, "It started to change after he was fired from Wucheng and came back. How to say it, he is really capable now. A few days ago, he even bought me a sewing machine!"
"What?" Liang Xingmei shouted in surprise, "Bought you a sewing machine? Can he earn so much money? Is he that kind?"
"Xiao Long said, the clothes and shoes I wear are all made by me, so buying a sewing machine is what should be done," Liang Yuemei was very proud, "And we haven't split the family yet, so it’s buying for the family."
Buying for the family, naturally it was for Liang Yuemei to use. If you let Li Long use it, he wouldn't know how to step on it.
"Xiao Long is a good child," Chen Xiuzhu sighed, "The child is grown up and sensible. Yuemei, you have to treat him well in the future. This child left his parents so young, it’s normal not to be sensible. Now that he is sensible, you have to take care of him more."
"Mom, I know."
Harmony and happiness.
Before leaving, Li Jianguo told Liang Donglou about the possibility of land distribution after the New Year, so that his father-in-law’s family could be prepared. He also pointed out Li Long’s "guess" that the team’s property would be distributed, meaning that they could think about what they wanted now.
After all, this was a big event, and being prepared in advance would make it easier to deal with when the time came.
