Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chen Xingbang avoided several villagers without any danger and came to Lilou without being seen by Chen Changgui and others.

Over here, Li Qingxia was in the yard, listening to Li Xia's story. He was so angry that he cursed Chen Changgui as a beast and was angry that he was blind to marry into this family.

Li Xia hurriedly explained for Chen Xingbang:

"Dad, Xingbang is different from his dad..."

"I know they are different. If they were the same, would I still allow you two to be together?"

In the past two days, Li Qingxia had almost finished handling the household affairs. He entrusted the yard to Li Junfeng to take care of, and also gave him the few acres of land to plant. Li Qingxia did not want the harvested grain, which was considered as the fee for taking care of the yard.

Li Junfeng was very happy to do this. Although he had a family and could not go to Northern Xinjiang, he knew that it was easy to make money there, and his uncle Li Long was very capable, so it was always a good thing to be able to establish a relationship with them.

Li Junfeng already knew that Li Junshan had joined Jianan Company as a formal worker, and he regretted it in his dreams at midnight. But it was too late to regret it now.

When Li Qingxia was cleaning the yard, Li Junshan's father came over, called him uncle, and asked about Li Junshan's situation. Li Junshan had sent money and sent telegrams home, but the family didn't know the specific situation.

Li Qingxia described in detail how Li Long took Li Anguo and Li Junshan to the construction installation company in Kuitun. Her tone was quite proud, after all, this matter was arranged by Li Long from beginning to end.

Li Junshan's father Li Xingguo also secretly told Li Qingxia that the political review letter sent back by Li Anguo's unit was made by a few guys from the brigade, and they said a lot of bad things.

"Coward!" Li Qing cursed angrily, but then laughed again:

"Do they think this can ruin An Guo's business? Nonsense! People want to see actual performance! An Guo is doing a good job there and is now a formal employee. Let them be jealous!"

Li Qingxia went to pile up some dirt on the ancestral grave, cleared the grass, burned ten pieces of yellow paper, and set off a thousand firecrackers.

Many families in this village roll their own cigarettes during the Chinese New Year. Li Qingxia also knows how to roll cigarettes, but he doesn't have the time at the moment, so he went to the store to buy firecrackers.

Everyone in the village knew that the old man had returned, and many followed him. After all, if one counted from the old man himself, all his blood relatives had gone to the northern border.

But counting from the previous generation, he is the eldest of this branch, and the other branches are still in the village.

There are many more of them in the village one generation ago.

In fact, his ancestral grave was separated from his three generations ago. Otherwise, there would be no place for the old ancestral grave to be buried. This big grave from three generations ago is arranged downwards, and branches downwards, forming a big triangle.

This ancestral grave is in Li Qingxia's own land, so he doesn't have to worry about anything else. In fact, this was taken into consideration when the land was divided, and the team headquarters was specially informed. The other families also understood, so they did it.

After consecrating the grave, burning paper, setting off cannons, and explaining the matter to the ancestors, Li Qingxia could go to the northern border with peace of mind. He only needed to come back once or twice a year.

When Li Xia came over, he had already finished the work. After listening to Li Xia's story, Li Qingxia thought that Chen Xingbang was quite reliable, otherwise this matter would not be over!
When Chen Xingbang came over, Li Xia meant to eat before leaving, which made Li Qingxia a little embarrassed. The stove at home was cold, and he had been making do with what he had these past two days. If he really wanted to eat, he had to work hard.

"Why go through all that trouble?" Chen Xingbang waved his hand: "Let's go directly to the county and have dinner there!"

He is very generous, and Li Qingxia is not bad either. When his son-in-law said this, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile:

"Zhongzhong, let's go to the county for dinner! I'll treat you, so let Hongqin have a good meal! Hongqin, let's go to the county today..."

"I want to eat meat!" Hongqin said bravely.

"Okay, let's eat meat. You can eat as much as you want then!" Li Qingxia was thinking about his grandchildren in Northern Xinjiang. Even Xue Ping and Xue Qin, who passed away later, had grown up to be plump and white with rosy little faces. Only Hong Qin looked thin and small at the moment.

It really hurts.

Li Qingxia originally wanted to wait, but since Chen Xingbang was here and had finished his work, he decided to leave.

The whole family walked out of the village together. Villagers greeted them and asked them about their plans. Li Qingxia did not hesitate to say that they were going back to Northern Xinjiang.

Those people were just envious. Looking at the old man's mental state, how could he look like a man in his sixties? It was much better than when he was in this village.

Li Xia held the child, and Li Qingxia took it over. Chen Xingbang and Li Xia carried their bags and walked and talked to the village together.

Li Qingxia was walking in front and talking to Hongqin about the latest news in Northern Xinjiang. Li Xia asked Chen Xingbang in a low voice:
"Let's pay for the meal later. Is Dad's money enough?"

"You underestimate my father." Chen Xingbang said with a smile:
"In the summer, Dad goes fishing with a friend of Xiaolong in the village, and they can earn twenty or thirty dollars a day! I tell you, Dad has a lot of money. At home, my big brother Xiaolong buys everything that needs to be bought, so he doesn't have much to spend. People in the village don't play cards over there, so he saves all his money."

Li Xia was relieved. It would cost a lot of money to eat all you can eat meat.

An hour later, they stopped a car in the village and rushed to the neighboring Yongcheng County - this county was actually quite far away from the village, so it was easier to take the train to the neighboring county.

Near the train station, four people ordered two plates of braised pork. They didn’t eat much rice and ate all the meat.

Hong Qin ate a bowl by herself - even Li Qingxia was scared. It's not that it's not enough, but she was afraid of getting an upset stomach. No matter how delicious that thing is, it's hard to digest if you eat too much!
After much persuasion, they said that they could eat braised pork every day when they arrived in northern Xinjiang - this was not just coaxing, given Chen Xingbang's current situation, it was really easy for him to eat braised pork every day.

Hongqin fell asleep after eating, Li Xia held her in her arms while Chen Xingbang went to buy tickets for the evening. They had nothing to do in the afternoon, but they were not in the mood to hang around. They just wanted to get on the train as soon as possible and rush to northern Xinjiang.

At this time, neither Chen Xingbang nor Li Qingxia realized that they had actually regarded the two courtyards in the northern border as their real home.

After finally making it to the evening, Hongqin bought some food and had another meal before boarding the train. This time, she didn't ask for meat. After boarding the train, she found a seat and settled down, and then she began to look forward to the future.

The next day, people who got up early suddenly found that Niu Weiguo appeared in Chen Xingbang's yard, where he was repairing things and clearing out some unwanted things.

The neighbor came forward curiously and asked:
"Weiguo, what are you doing?"

"Clean up the house." Niu Weiguo and his wife both had smiles on their faces. This was their own home. Although it was not a brick house, it had an independent yard, which was much better than a room in the yard of a brick house.

"Isn't this Xingbang's home? Why are you cleaning it?" The neighbor was confused for a moment.

"Xingbang sold it to me." Niu Weiguo explained with a smile. Anyway, Chen Xingbang said it would take one day, so he should have left by train by now, right?

"What? He moved away?"

"Of course not. The whole family went to the northern border."

The news spread quickly throughout the village. Chen Changgui didn't know about it while he was working in the field. His youngest son, Chen Qiangguo, who was pretending to be sick and staying at home, heard the news from a neighbor. He stopped saying he was sick and quickly ran to the field. When he saw Chen Changgui, he shouted:

"Dad! Dad! My brother ran away with my sister-in-law!"

"Run away? Where did he run to?" Chen Changgui asked.

"Where else can you run to? Run to the northern border!"

"Then it's good to run away. Then the yard and the land will be ours, right?" Shen Yujuan took over the conversation at the edge of the field and said with a smile.

"Sold it!" Chen Qiangguo said with a sad face.

"What was sold?" Chen Changgui asked hurriedly.

"The yard! The land! All sold!"

"Who did you sell it to? Go find him! Who dares to buy it?" Shen Yujuan was not someone to be trifled with, and she stood up immediately.

"Niu Weiguo!" Chen Qiangguo didn't dare to cause trouble for others, so he said with a sullen face, "They are cleaning up the yard!"

"Why don't you go after your brother?" When Chen Changgui heard that it was sold to Niu Weiguo, he really dared to look for him, because he is a family of three brothers!
"My brother left yesterday!" Chen Qiangguo said, "Yesterday my sister-in-law took the children to Lilou first, actually she was leaving. My brother went to the team headquarters to get a stamp, saying that he would be a worker in the future!"

"Be a worker? Work as a worker where?" Chen Changgui's head buzzed. This was beyond his expectation.

"I don't know. Where is the Stone City?"

"That's nonsense! Isn't Stone City Jinling? It's in the east!" Chen Changgui felt that his son was talking nonsense.

But it seems that it is impossible to find it back. This time, I have really lost my son, my yard, and everything.

He slowly sat down on the stalk of the field.

Think about it, the eldest son has become a worker, while the younger son whom he has always favored is still lazy and likes to eat.

What the hell have you done?
Li Qingxia and Chen Xingbang took care of Li Xia and Hongqin on the train all the way to Wucheng. After getting off the train, Li Qingxia smiled and said:

"This trip is better than the last time. Last time we had to take care of two kids, and it was after the Chinese New Year. The train was so crowded... This time there are still empty seats, it's really comfortable!"

Li Xia and Hong Qin looked around curiously.

It was empty, with few people, and some of them spoke a language I couldn't understand.

Chen Xingbang looked at their expressions and said with a smile:

"It's not bad now. After a few rounds, all the petty thieves and those who do not work properly have been arrested." Although Li Qingxia was in the village, he also heard from Li Long that now is actually the time when public security is the best.

After having lunch at the train station, I went to the Bayi Guesthouse to buy tickets and took a bus to Ma County.

They did not send a telegram to Li Long before getting on the train. Li Long also knew that his father and brother-in-law would not stay in their hometown for long. They would definitely be able to find their home when they returned to the county.

After he came back from Wucheng, he stayed in the big yard. He didn't leave except for eating times, as he was on guard against his father and the others not being able to find him when they came back.

Li Qingxia and his friends got off the car, left the bus station and went straight to Li Long's yard.

"Xiaolong has a big yard in the county town." Chen Xingbang explained to Li Xia, "We went to Wucheng together, and he stayed in the big yard after returning from Wucheng.

That big courtyard is so magnificent. In the past, the old rich people in the village didn’t live in a house as big as that one. His wife works in the county, a cadre in the government…”

"I know that." Li Xia interrupted while holding Hongqin, "Your last name is Gu, right? Can I see you today?"

"I don't know." Chen Xingbang had only seen her a few times, mainly because Gu Xiaoxia had to go to work and would not be back until the afternoon. He actually wanted to take Li Xia and Hong Qin directly to his own compound in Shicheng, but Li Qingxia would not let him.

How could that be possible? He would run away without even seeing his mother, brothers, or younger brothers?

Chen Xingbang didn't have any objections. After all, even if he had a foothold now, it was with the help of Li Long, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to find a yard - if Li Long didn't have a company, would anyone rent such a big yard to him?

Arriving at the large courtyard, Li Qingxia saw that the door was not locked. He smiled and said:

"Xiaolong is at home. Xiaolong!" he shouted loudly.

"Here they come!" Li Long was tidying up the small vegetable garden in the yard. When he heard the noise, he hurried to the door to open it.

Li Xia looked at the layout of this wealthy family and believed what Chen Xingbang said. This was indeed not a courtyard that ordinary people could live in.

The door opened and Li Long shouted:
"Dad, brother-in-law, sister!"

Li Xia was stunned for a moment. Li Long had already touched Hong Qin's head and said:
"You are Hongqin, right? I am your uncle. Come on, come on, into the yard. I have a gift for you!"

"Hongqin, call me uncle." Chen Xingbang said hurriedly.

Hongqin stuck to Chen Xingbang all the way and listened to him. She looked at Li Long and called out, "Uncle."

After shouting, she hid behind Li Xia. Li Xia smiled, pulled her and said:
"This is my uncle, my younger brother, don't be afraid."

Hongqin still couldn't understand it, but she knew that this was a very close person.

Li Xia saw the tractor parked in the yard at a glance.

This tractor is indeed big. Unlike the one in Niu Wei’s country with two hand-pushed poles, this one looks more like the iron ox in the picture.

My younger brother has really made progress.

Several people entered the yard, and Li Long asked Li Xia:

"Sister, my brother-in-law is away during this time, and my father and second brother are not here. Have you been wronged?"

Although Li Long had not been in his hometown for some years, he still knew the moral character of many people in his hometown. There are people who are angry and laugh at others. There are many people who suffer from red eyes. Just look at the political review letter of Li Anguo.

Li Xia's eyes turned red as she listened to her brother's concerned words. Chen Xingbang took over the conversation:
"Some people just don't want the best for me. After I went back, I gave those people a good beating. I also sold the yard and land. I won't be coming back. This family is in Northern Xinjiang!"

Li Long didn't continue asking this question. He knew that his sister might be reminded of her past memories after hearing this.

He came out of the house with a teapot and poured a cup of tea for everyone, including Hongqin. He put the teapot back and saw that Hongqin was still looking at him. He smiled and took out a large toy doll from behind and said:

"Hongqin, take a look. Do you like it?"

Hongqin turned her head to look at Chen Xingbang, then at Li Xia.

Neither of them spoke, just looked at her and smiled.

"I like it." Hongqin turned her head and said a little shyly.

"Take it if you like it!" Li Long was not like some people in later generations who would hold toys and tempt the child to scream before giving them the toys. He directly handed her the big toy doll with half of Hongqin's body.

This is the largest doll Li Long can buy.

"Is your wife still at work?" Chen Xingbang asked while drinking tea.

"Well," Li Long said, "We have a holiday on Sunday. Let's wait for her to get off work and let her meet me. Then I'll drive the tractor to take you to the team."

"Uncle, is this tractor of yours real?" Hongqin asked bravely while holding the doll.

"Of course it's true. When Hongqin grows up, she will be able to learn how to open it."

"Hey, how can a child drive it?" Li Xia thought Li Long was joking.

"Why can't it bloom?" Li Long said, "Brother's Juan can bloom. It's just that it blooms less. Hongqin can also bloom when it grows so big."

It is not uncommon to see girls in rural areas driving tractors. They may not start, but it is no big problem to drive them. After all, they are not difficult to operate and are very durable. If they flip over, they can basically still start after lifting them up.

Li Qingxia put down his tea bowl and stood up, looking around the yard, and said:

"Xiaolong, it's not easy for you to clean up this yard."

"It's not easy... By the way, Hongqin, there is a nest of hedgehogs in this yard. Do you want to look for them?"

"Hedgehog? What hedgehog?" Hongqin had never seen a hedgehog before.

The big hedgehog brought back from the mountains gave birth to a litter of five little hedgehogs after staying in the yard for a while, which surprised Li Long.

I usually don't take care of it, but now that it has a cub, I have to take care of it. After sending the roe deer away, Li Long feeds it from time to time. Generally speaking, the hedgehog is not afraid of people now, and the little hedgehog is the same.

Hongqin ran excitedly to find the hedgehog, while Li Long went into the house and brought out a big watermelon.

"Xiaolong, you brought out the watermelon only after I had drunk my tea. Don't you want me to eat it?" Chen Xingbang joked.

Li Xia hit him, saying that her brother was not that kind of person.

"I was thinking about the distance you walked and the watermelon you just ate that had a cold stomach." Li Long used the common sense of health preservation from his previous life, and he didn't know if it was right or not, so he just went ahead out of habit.

He cut the watermelon into two pieces, giving each person a piece, and took two pieces to find Hongqin.

Hongqin had already found a little hedgehog in the corner of the room and was staring at the little guy.

"Hongqin, eat watermelon."

"Hey!" When there was watermelon to eat, Hongqin immediately forgot about the little guy and turned around to get the watermelon.

Back home, not many people eat watermelon.

The initial sense of strangeness gradually disappeared, and Li Xia and her brother Li Long started talking more.

I took a car and a train, and then another car and a train. It was so busy that I finally felt relaxed now.

Li Long simply asked them to go to the house to take a nap, but Li Qingxia refused. After all, his daughter-in-law would be back soon, so what would it mean if they all fell asleep?

Let's chat in the yard. Li Long gave Hongqin a wolf's fang stone, mainly because he was worried that the wolf's fang would scare the child. Unexpectedly, Hongqin was not afraid of the wolf's fang, but liked it more.

Then I was given a femur and a pair of teeth.

"Sister, when you have time, take the rope and put it on. I only drilled a hole but haven't tied the rope yet."

"Okay, okay." Li Xia had already heard from Chen Xingbang that this was for warding off evil spirits, so she said hurriedly.

The sun was setting and Gu Xiaoxia came back from get off work.

PS: Let me explain first. I went to bed after posting it in the early morning. When I was cooking for my child in the morning, I took a look at my phone and found that it was censored. But I couldn’t use the computer at that time, so I couldn’t change it. When I came back to change it, I found that it was unblocked. In the future, if I don’t tell you in advance, I will usually post two chapters after midnight.

Of course, some people want to add more chapters, but I really don't have the ability or motivation. I think I'm pretty hardworking with two chapters of 10,000 words a day (PS I don't count money) (End of this chapter)
