Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Su Ningning and Tao Min left at dusk. At that time, Wu Song had only been performed for half an episode.

"I can't watch it anymore. I'm worried that if I watch it again, I won't want to go back. Color TV is much better than black and white TV. It looks just like the real thing!" Su Ningning was reluctant to leave.

In fact, it was not only the color TV that made her reluctant to leave, but also Gu Xiaoxia's life. The food was delicious, with meat and eggs. Such food might not be eaten once or twice a week at home, but judging from the expressions of Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia, such food was commonplace.

There were only two people living in such a big yard, and I had to squeeze in with my family. Not to mention a color TV and a big bed.

There's no comparison.

Although she envied him and couldn't compare with him, Su Ningning was not jealous. During the conversation, she could tell that Li Long was the one who made the most money. Gu Xiaoxia spent her own money and didn't need to hand it in. Thinking about the food expenses she still had to pay, Su Ningning sighed.

People really cannot be compared.

But she was really not jealous. Gu Xiaoxia brought them here just to watch TV. She didn't show off and her tone was also very normal. She didn't act like the older sister in the unit who acted like she was nobler and richer than you.

It feels very comfortable.

The next day, when Gu Xiaoxia went to work, she clearly felt that her colleagues, Su Ningning and Tao Min, were much more friendly to her, and she was actually quite happy. Although some people say it is best not to make friends in the office, who doesn't want to have a few good colleagues in the office?
Gu Xiaoxia went to work. After Li Long fed the roe deer, he drove the tractor out and went directly to the team.

Since we have decided to repair the yard for Halimu and his family, this matter cannot be delayed.

After driving back to the team, Li Long first went to find Tao Daqiang.

Tao Daqiang's wife Yang Pingping was weaving baskets in the yard. She stood up when she heard the tractor. Li Long parked the tractor outside and got off when he saw Yang Pingping and asked her:

"Sister-in-law, is Daqiang here? I have something to talk to him about."

"Da Qiang has gone to the fields. There are some weeds in my corn field, so he went to weed them." Yang Pingping walked to the door and said with a smile, "If you have any questions, you can go to the fields to find him, or you can tell me."

"I want to find some young people in the team to help me and take them to do a job." Li Long said the truth. They are a couple, and this matter cannot be hidden. "My friend in the mountain has an old house in the animal husbandry team, and he needs to put up the mud and repair the wall. The men have all gone into the mountains, and only the elderly and children are left, and it is not good to live there."

"That's definitely no problem." Yang Pingping smiled and said, "When Daqiang followed you into the mountains, he often took advantage of others. Daqiang told me about it. This time my father-in-law made a lot of money by doing the job, and the people in the mountains don't care. It will definitely work. Do you want to go to the fields to talk to him, or wait for him to come back?"

"I'll go talk to the others first. We need to find five or six people to work together, otherwise it will take a day or two to finish." Li Long said, "After I find them, I'll go to your field before noon. Which part of your corn field do you plant? The east field or the field in the back?"

"Over there in Dongba."

Li Long drove the tractor to look for Jia Weidong again.

Li Long seldom dealt with Jia Weidong, but after this incident, he felt that although this man didn't talk much, he was still quite reliable.

On the way, he ran into Xie Yundong, who was pushing his bicycle back. Li Long stopped the tractor and greeted him:

"Brother Yundong, why don't you ride?"

"Hey, you're still new here. You were afraid your tractor would come, so you jumped into the ditch. What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for Weidong, and I'm going to ask a few people to help me put up the mud on the house of my friend in the mountain animal husbandry team."

"When?"

"I plan to do it tomorrow."

"Then count me in." Xie Yundong said with a smile, "There's not much work to do in the fields right now, so I'll just weed. It doesn't matter if I do it earlier or later."

When Li Long was organizing the group, he asked Xie Yundong to manage the group. He promised to give Xie Yundong 50 yuan as management fee. When he paid the bill, he gave him 60 yuan, saying that the extra 10 yuan was for buying a school bag for his child. Xie Yundong was really attentive in managing the group this time, and Li Long saw it. With his ability, he could have appointed more group leaders.

Since he was so sincere, Li Long couldn't pretend to be blind.

After a few interactions, both of them got to know each other's temper, which was good.

"Okay, I'll come and call you tomorrow." Li Long smiled, "Bring your tile knives and other things with you."

"Okay. Weidong is at home, you go first, I'll practice a little more, this bicycle is not easy to learn."

Li Long went to find Jia Weidong.

Jia Weidong was building a trellis for sword beans in the vegetable garden. After Li Long told him the purpose of his visit, he nodded.

Li Long turned around and went to look for the three brothers of the Liang family.

That's no problem, Boss Liang said with a smile:
"Anyway, we can't catch any fish recently, and we don't want to go to Dahaizi either, so it would be nice to go out with you."

There are three brothers. The third one stays at home while the eldest and the second one go.

Including Li Long, six people are enough.

Seeing that it was still early, Li Long drove a tractor to Tao Daqiang's cornfield. Tao Daqiang heard the sound of the tractor and walked out of the field.

The field was 400 meters long. When he reached the end of the field, Li Long's tractor had been waiting there for several minutes.

"Brother Long, is there something wrong?" Tao Daqiang wiped the sweat from his face, rubbed his nose, and asked.

The corn was planted early and has grown to half a person's height. The edges of the leaves are very sharp. When weeding, the arms and neck are easily scratched and left with red marks. When we sweat, the corn is stung and feels a burning pain.

"I want to go and put some mud on the house of Halim and his team and mend the fence. I've called a few young people from the team tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Are you free to go?"

"Go ahead." Tao Daqiang said immediately, "Tomorrow, right? Then I'll go back and borrow the tile trowel this afternoon. By the way, who else is there?"

"Xie Yundong, Jia Weidong, Liang Lao Da and Liang Lao Er."

"Okay." Tao Daqiang nodded, "They are all strong and capable. Oh, Jia Weidong is a little bit weaker, but that's OK too."

The matter was settled.

Li Long returned to the yard, said hello to his parents, and then drove back to the county.

The manpower problem has been solved, and the next issue is food.

Since he was the one who called the group together, the food couldn't be too simple. So Li Long thought this was easy to handle. He remembered that the last time he delivered something to Halim's family at the forestry team, there were still sheepherders there, so he planned to buy a sheep tomorrow and slaughter it directly in the yard and eat the meat with his hands.

He planned to find Adili, the deputy captain of the animal husbandry team, for this matter. It was better to find someone from an official perspective for this kind of thing. Firstly, it was easier to get things done, and secondly, if he went through this channel, he would spend money and the other party would appreciate it.

After having lunch at Sister Yang's house at noon, Li Long drove his tractor to the pastoral team's rear point.

After more than an hour's drive, when they got there, Li Long went to school first.

Nathan and his classmates had already started class. Li Long asked several families and found Adili.

Adili had actually heard the sound of the tractor, but he didn't expect it was looking for him. His yard was a little tidier, and when Li Long came over, he was tidying up a carpet in the yard.

"Hello, hello. Your name is Li Long, right?" Adili still remembered Li Long, which surprised Li Long.

"I came here to tell you that I will bring people over tomorrow to put mud on Halimu and Yushanjiang's houses."

"Okay, okay." Adili was naturally very happy. This was a good thing.

"I want to buy a sheep from you and slaughter it for tomorrow. We have a lot of people." Li Long said, "Is that okay?"

"Sheep? How big do you want?" Adili asked.

"A two-year-old sheep that can produce 20 kilograms of meat will do. How about that? Help me slaughter it and I'll cook it in Halimu's yard tomorrow." "I have a sheep, and the price is..." Adili hesitated.

"You said."

"Twenty-five dollars, how about that?"

"Okay." Li Long didn't mind ordering more or less, and the price was relatively cheap. "Please help me slaughter it. It would be best if you can cook it. If not, I'll ask Halimu's mother to cook it."

"That's no problem!"

Li Long took out two ten-yuan notes and a five-yuan note and handed them to Adili:
"I'll give you the money first. We'll be there tomorrow morning. Can we get the sheep here tomorrow morning?"

"No problem. Since you are so straightforward, I will not let you down. Tomorrow morning, I will take people to bring the sheep over and slaughter them at Halimu's house."

Adili was very straightforward, so Li Long felt relieved. He drove the tractor to Halimu's house. The old lady heard the noise and came out. She smiled when she saw Li Long.

Li Long got out of the car, and the old lady waved at him, wanting to take him inside for some milk tea. Li Long waved his hand, pointed at the roof, then pointed at the yard, and gestured to repair it tomorrow.

He didn't know whether the old lady could understand him or not, so he pointed outside and said they had to go further.

When I went to Yushanjiang's home, Yushanjiang's wife could understand what he said, but was a little at a loss.

Li Long just told him that it was something he had agreed on with Yushanjiang before, and that was it.

After finishing everything here, Li Long drove the tractor back to the county.

Eating only mutton would not be enough, so Li Long went to a naan shop and ordered 20 large naans. Naan tastes best when it is freshly baked. He had already asked, and this naan shop will open at dawn tomorrow morning. Many ethnic families nearby rely on this naan for breakfast.

He went to the department store and brought two boxes of small champagne. It would be convenient to drink water when the time came, so he could just boil a pot. But if he asked for help, these young people would definitely not want money, so he had to take care of the food and drink. Not only drinks, but also bowls. He bought ten small enamel basins for tomorrow's use.

After everything was done, Li Long returned to the compound.

The next day after breakfast, Li Long drove his tractor to the team and picked up people one by one. These people also brought tools such as tile knives, shovels, and shovels. What surprised him was that Xu Dejun, who was helping Xie Yundong with the gang, was also there, and he wanted to go with him, so Li Long naturally agreed.

Seeing the small bottles of champagne in the truck bed, everyone's mouths immediately opened. This is a great treat!
The tractor did not leave immediately, but went to the wheat field and pulled half a cart of old wheat tails. If you want to make mud, this is good. There is no such thing at the animal husbandry team's stay point. If you mix mud with dry mud, the mud will easily crack.

After pulling half a cart of wheat, the young men sat in the truck bed, covered with a layer of sacks, which was comfortable. Xie Yundong grabbed a seat on the board first, and chatted with Li Long while driving.

Tao Daqiang was a little indignant, as this position had always been his.

When the tractor arrived at the county, Li Long first went to buy some naan, put it in a basket, and then covered it with a layer of cloth.

The freshly made naan was really tempting. Li Long also knew this, so he said loudly to a few people while opening the pan:

"If you feel hungry, just eat it. In the end, it's for everyone to eat anyway."

It was nice to have naan at noon, and the others didn't know there was a sheep. But Tao Daqiang knew that Li Long would definitely not treat everyone unfairly if he asked people to help with the work.

When he arrived at Halimu's yard, Li Long found that Adili and another person were already there. The sheep had been slaughtered and the man was skinning it.

Halimu's mother watched from the side, feeling a little helpless.

When the tractor arrived, they all looked at Li Long and his friends, and smiles appeared on their faces.

This is a sincere smile towards friends and juniors.

"Okay, let's get down to work." Li Long said with a smile, "See, we'll have hand-pulled meat for lunch, so we have to do a good job today."

"Hey, what else can I say?" Xu Dejun was surprised, but he was the first to speak this time. "If they knew about this treatment, wouldn't everyone in the team be scrambling to come?"

In fact, after knowing this matter, it was Xu Chengjun who asked him to come, and he also told Xu Feihu. Xu Feihu thought about it and said that he had something to do and would not come.

Actually, it was nothing, but Xu Dejun knew that Xu Feihu felt that there was nothing good about it. In the eyes of other people in the team, coming so directly was equivalent to currying favor with Li Long, which would bring bad reputation.

Xu Dejun thought, what good is a good reputation now? Li Long can lead everyone to work and make money, those people want to curry favor but can't! Now you have the opportunity to take it yourself, and you are waiting for others to invite you? Don't you see who Li Long called this time?
After coming here, I felt that Li Long was really good at treating people. The team asked people to do the housework, and at most they would cook two or three dishes. If they cooked more, they would cook one meat dish and one fish, which was enough. What was going on here? They just gave him a sheep!

So grand.

Of course, the premise is that you have money. But are there any rich people in the team? Yes, but they are not as generous as Li Long!
There was an empty space in the yard with nothing planted, so it was left uncultivated. Li Long asked Adili to ask the old lady, and finally decided to dig a pit and mud outside the yard. There was a canal nearby, and Li Long brought a few buckets with him. Xie Yundong and his team dug a pit here, and he drove a tractor with Tao Daqiang and Jia Weidong to fetch water.

For these young people, jobs like plastering and repairing walls are nothing. The houses here are lower than those in Team 4, so plastering is easier. It is also easy to repair the holes on the walls.

The work here was very lively, and the people who stayed behind in the animal husbandry team were very curious and came to watch. Li Long and his friends didn't care, because they basically couldn't understand anything anyway, so they just focused on their work.

After the sheep was slaughtered, Adili came over and asked Li Long.

Li Long asked to cut out some meat and put it in the old lady's house, and then cook the rest. There was no room for the pot in the house, so Xie Yundong and his friends made a simple stove outside, put the pot on it, and put water to cook the meat.

At some point, Yushanjiang's wife came over to help, cutting vegetables and meat. Li Long saw it and guessed that she was planning to cook for lunch.

Li Long said hello to her and continued to work. Working was the most important thing at this time.

Li Long didn't notice that there was a young Kazakh girl holding a pen and paper writing something, and she was muttering something after she finished writing. After everything was done, she went to find Adili and asked him questions for a long time.

Adili looked at Li Long and told him the matter quietly.

Li Long didn't notice these, but Xu Dejun did and told Li Long quietly.

Li Long looked at the girl who had left, then looked at Hadili, waved his hand and said:
"I guess it's probably for the news. Don't worry about it. Let's do our job. It would be best if we can finish it today. If not, we can come back tomorrow. We will try to get it done tomorrow, and we won't care about it later."

Adili came over and told Li Long that the girl was indeed a part-time broadcaster in the team and she really wanted to write a press release just now.

Knowing what was going on, Li Long put it aside. The mud needs to be put aside after it is mixed, but everyone has experience. If the construction period is short, the mud should be mixed harder and can be used soon after mixing. The house is small, less than half the size of Li Jianguo's house, and not that high, so it is easy for these young people to put mud on the house.

They took a shovel, scooped out a piece of mud, and with some force, they threw the mud directly onto the roof!

If you are in a team, you have to use baskets to lift the mud onto the roof, which makes a big difference.

There was no one watching now, but a few people were still working hard.

Li Long and his friends didn't notice that after the girl went back, she found a camera from somewhere and took several pictures from different angles.

Because she knew that Li Long was the organizer of this activity, the girl was mainly taking pictures of Li Long. Then she was discovered by Li Long.

Li Long was not shy, nor did he hide his face. With mud on his face, he took off his coat and wore a vest to pick up mud, grinning. The old lady stood next to him, holding a towel in her hand. She originally wanted to wipe the faces of several people, but no one cared, and she was a little anxious.

The photo was frozen.

The girl was very satisfied.

The work lasted until noon. Everyone was tired. The mutton in the pot on the stove had been stewed. Nathan and the others had also returned. Several children were active among the young people, laughing and making a lot of noise.

At this time, children really like to have guests at home, for various reasons. Anyway, Nathan and Sasken are not afraid of mud, and they follow Li Long and others to help, and they are very happy.

"Wash your hands and eat. Each person has a piece of naan, break it and eat it." Li Long washed his hands, squeezed them dry on the basin, and shouted, "Each person go get a piece of bone, and we can take our bowls. Drink the mutton soup or the champagne, it's up to you. But don't waste it, take as much as you can eat."

Xie Yundong and the others went to wash their hands. The mud on the hands can be washed off simply, and the mud on the face and arms is not so particular, just rub it when it is dry. After doing physical work for a whole morning, I am tired. I have been wanting this meat for a long time, and finally I can eat it! (End of this chapter)
