Chapter 989: Still have to learn from the Corps' big brother!
Director Qian received Li Xiangqian's call, listened to his narrative, and said with some surprise:
"You mean Little Li was received by that leader this time when he went to Yanjing? And they talked for more than half an hour? Is that true or false? I didn't even get to see that person back then."
He was different from Li Xiangqian; Li Xiangqian was younger than him after all. He had been on a business trip to Yanjing two years ago, and at that time, he also hoped to be able to pay a visit to that leader.
He didn't get to see him.
What a pity.
Of course, it certainly wasn't that the leader was arrogant. Maybe they weren't in the same system, and besides, maybe this message didn't reach the leader and was intercepted. After all, it was impossible for just anyone to come and pay a visit and for the office to allow a meeting, right? Would they still work or not?
Anyway, how to put it, that Li Long could be received by the leader was something that exceeded Director Qian's expectations, but thinking about it, maybe it was also because this kid Li Long had too good luck, and of course, what he did was influential enough.
"That's what he said." Li Xiangqian said, "I don't think he would lie about this, right?"
"That shouldn't be, and he wouldn't." Director Qian recovered to normal and said with a smile, "How to put it, this young man Little Li has really good luck, and of course, the things he did were influential enough. Hmm, not bad, not bad. With this connection, I'm afraid his path will be smoother later on.
Sigh, sometimes I even envy this kid. How come all the good things happen to him? Let's not talk about him. He's back; how is the matter of the big brooms?"
"We'll haul a few trucks over tomorrow. Director, don't worry, the quality is definitely no problem; it should be about the same as last year."
"Fine, then I'll take a look tomorrow." Director Qian said.
Hanging up the phone, Director Qian thought about this matter and suddenly smiled. This guy.
Let's see how far he can go.
Li Long drove into the mountain pass. Before he even reached Halimu's winter camp, he could already hear the sound of the tractor mowing grass.
There were three tractors in the mountains now. After the road to the winter camp was opened, it was much more convenient for both mowing and hauling grass. The herdsmen must be very happy too.
When the jeep drove to Halimu's winter camp, Li Long discovered that someone was actually making naan here.
A young man who looked familiar but whose name he couldn't recall immediately smiled when he saw Li Long. After bending down to slap a piece of dough into the naan pit, he stood up, wiped his hands on his clothes, and stepped forward to take the initiative to shake hands with Li Long: "Hello, Li Long. They've gone to mow grass."
His Mandarin wasn't very good, but it was quite fluent. Li Long could feel his hands were hot and wet, so he said with a smile: "You're in charge of making naan? Then I'll have to have a good taste later."
"Okay, okay." The young man smiled and then pointed in the direction where Halimu and the others were mowing grass, "Over there, three tractors are mowing together."
"Then you go ahead and make it; I'll go over and take a look." Li Long said.
Li Long walked toward the grassland. Actually, he could already see the tractors mowing grass here, and there were young men playing on the edge of the field.
Three tractors were mowing grass on the same grassland. This way, the mowing speed on the same grassland was fast, and it was easy to collect after it dried.
Li Long saw the figures on the tractors were Halimu and Talihar. Yushanjiang wasn't there, and the other tractor seemed to be Bieke.
When Li Long walked over, someone had already discovered him, and then someone shouted loudly.
Halimu was driving the tractor and turning around the field over there. When he turned over, he also saw Li Long, so he accelerated and started to rush up the slope.
The air was full of the smell of green grass juice, which smelled quite good. Li Long shook hands with these herdsmen one by one and asked about the situation in the mountains.
"Summer pasture, it's just like that." Someone said, "The rain is good this year, the grass grows well, and the cattle and sheep like to eat it very much."
"Since the grass is good, those wild animals have come over, and we've hunted some. When autumn comes and there are more of these things, we can hunt some more."
"There are also many wolves this year, and quite a few bears."
"The snow lotus grows very well. We've picked a lot, and they are all drying."
Everyone was talking at once about the situation in the summer pasture, and Li Long was truly yearning for it after listening.
Halimu finished mowing this row of grass, and the tractor stopped on the edge of the grassland. He shouted, and a young man responded. After greeting Li Long, he ran over happily.
There were a few trees where everyone stayed, and people were resting in the shade of the trees. Driving a tractor to mow grass, it was very sunny sitting on the tractor, but these young men were all very happy, obviously very fond of doing this work.
Halimu came over with a smile and hugged Li Long, saying: "Haven't seen you for a long time. Is Duosen doing well? Heard you went to Yanjing. How is it there?"
"Very good, very good," Li Long said with a smile, "There are many people and many cars, but there's no naan to eat, so I came back."
His joking words made everyone laugh.
This patch of small shrubs along with a few trees blocked the sun, and the turf underneath had already been trampled flat by everyone, making it very comfortable to sit on.
"I brought a few watermelons in my car. I'll go get them now; eating watermelon quenches thirst." Li Long said.
"No need, no need, let them go." Halimu smiled and sent two young men to get the watermelons, and the young men ran over with a smile.
The watermelons were brought over and handed to Halimu. He untied the small knife from his waist, first cut off the small piece of melon skin by the stem, sharpened the knife, and then started to divide the melon.
This watermelon was from the plain forest farm, and the local watermelon tasted very good. Everyone was very modest when eating, pushing and pulling to each other.
"The road is repaired, it's really very convenient." Halimu said to Li Long while dividing the melon, "The tractor can drive directly to the door of each winter camp, which can save a lot of time when hauling grass. The road from the foot of the mountain to the summer pasture has also been repaired for a long way, and it's very wide and good to walk on."
"Repair another section in autumn," Li Long said while eating the watermelon, "It might not be repaired next year; it will have to be the year after next or the year after that."
"No rush, no rush." Halimu said with a smile.
"Exactly, no rush." Other young men also said, "We have all been riding horses up the mountain here for many years. This road has already been repaired very quickly."
"There are also disadvantages." Li Long naturally couldn't just report the good news and not the bad, "The road to the winter camp is repaired, and many people will follow this road to find the winter camp. Many people will come in to live when you are digging fritillaria."
If it was just ordinary borrowing to live, it would be nothing; he was just afraid that some people would destroy things. After all, Li Long's own small wooden house had been destroyed by people. Being alone in the mountains, some people's moral bottom line would be lowered.
"This is nothing." Halimu said, "Before, even without the road, there would still be people living in the winter camp when we weren't there, and there would also be people throwing garbage inside. As long as the winter camp isn't torn down, just clean it up."
Li Long admired the herdsmen's open-mindedness and optimism very much.
"Someone found this in the mountains." After eating the watermelon, Halimu took out a piece of irregular gold nugget the size of a baby's fist and said, "People in the mountains asked me to hand it to you as the cost of repairing the road."
"Repairing the road doesn't cost that much money." Li Long hurriedly waved his hand and didn't take it, "You can keep it to make jewelry. Hunt when you have nothing to do; as long as there are skins, it's fine. Keep this thing; it will be more valuable later."
No matter what, Li Long wouldn't accept it, and Halimu finally put the gold nugget back into his pocket.
Other young men whispered, and some didn't understand Li Long's behavior.
"Repairing the road really doesn't cost that much money." Li Long knew their thoughts and continued to explain, "The skins you hunted before, the jade you picked up, including the deer antlers, the money exchanged for them is already enough for the cost of repairing the road during this period.
I haven't looked at the things you brought back this time, but I've heard about them. I think the money for repairing the road in autumn is definitely enough. So let's just keep repairing the road like this. After the road is repaired, you can drive the tractor up and down the mountain smoothly. It's better to keep some things to exchange for money later and go out to buy some things you want."
He paid a lot to repair this road, but he gained more. Not only the materials brought by Halimu and the others, but also the title of national advanced individual, which could prevent his acquisition station and his industry from being coveted by others, and allow him to safely continue to earn his own money and live a very good life. ===== CHAPTER 990 =====
