Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 86 I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it.

The next morning, Li Long and Tao Daqiang drove a horse-drawn carriage loaded with fish and sheep to the county to sell. Li Jianguo from the team went to Xu Chengjun's house, wanting Xu Chengjun to inform everyone about this matter.

It's not impossible to go door to door, but it's a bit troublesome. Some people are willing to buy it but may not have enough money.

It was shouted on the loudspeaker that only you know whether you can buy it or not.

Xu Chengjun was much more polite to Li Jianguo and said with a smile:
"Brother Li, do you really need to come here in person? Can't you just ask Qiangqiang or Juan to come and tell them?"

"That won't do." Li Jianguo waved his hand. "How can I let my child talk about serious matters?" He took the tea handed to him by Ma Hongmei, took a sip and said:

"It's Xiaolong who's causing all the trouble. He's causing so much trouble every day..."

The words were words of complaint, but the smile on his face could not be hidden.

"It's not just causing trouble." Ma Hongmei said enviously:
"If my brother could be half as capable as Xiaolong, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

"That's different. He's just messing around." Li Jianguo said, "Chengjun, how about we notify everyone now?"

"Okay, so you have some washed sheep offal at home, five dollars for a set. If you want it, I can go to your house and get it, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Jianguo nodded.

"Okay, I'll plug in the speaker first." Xu Chengjun operated the equipment and quickly got it done. He turned on the switch and shouted twice into the microphone tied with red cloth:

"Hey, hey, Hongmei, go out and listen for any sound."

Ma Hongmei hurriedly opened the door and went out. Xu Chengjun called out "Hello" again. She hurriedly shouted:
"Have it!"

"Hey, let me inform everyone that Li Jianguo now has more than 20 sets of sheep offal, which have been cleaned. They are 5 yuan per set. If you want them, go to Li's house to buy them. Hey, hey! Let me inform you again..."

After being notified three times in a row, Li Jianguo was very satisfied and stood up and said:

"Then Chengjun, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going back now."

"Okay, by the way, Brother Li, leave me a set for the next step."

"Okay, come get it when you have time."

After Li Jianguo left, Ma Hongmei asked in confusion:
"Why are you so polite to him?"

"He is a veteran who founded the team. How can I not be polite?" Xu Chengjun glared at his wife. "Although Li Jianguo is young, he is a leader in the eyes of those old people. If he wanted to be the captain, he would have been the captain, but he didn't want to be the captain."

"Then I'll go get some water later. Can he give me a cheaper price?"

"What's cheap?" Xu Chengjun glared at him again. "It's the right price! Li Long has been bringing a lot of stuff to our house these past two days. We can't just take advantage of him!"

"Okay, okay, I get it!" Ma Hongmei complained, "I just won't take advantage of others!"

"Woman! Long hair but short knowledge!" Xu Chengjun watched his wife go out, lit a cigarette, and thought about the policies on the radio.

It's going to change!

Ma Hongmei went out to fetch water from Li's house and happened to meet Wu Shufen's mother Wang Yuzhen.

"Sister Yuzhen, are you going to buy sheep offal as well?" Ma Hongmei asked curiously.

"Yes, go pick the best ones first. Let me tell you about red plums. If you know how to pick, pick the ones with more lard. Then take the lard off and put it in a pot to refine it. After refining, put it in the room and you can eat it all summer! Put a little when cooking, it will be very fragrant!"

"Oh, I understand." Ma Hongmei nodded repeatedly and asked, "Where is Shufen from your family?"

"I went to Gu's house to visit Xiaoxia." Wang Yuzhen's face turned unhappy when she heard Ma Hongmei mention her daughter. She had just heard the announcement on the loudspeaker and immediately thought of going to Li's house. She wanted to take Wu Shufen with her, after all, Li Long had pursued her daughter, and although they broke up, maybe she could get a dollar cheaper by looking at their previous relationship.

In the end, Wu Shufen refused to go, which made Wang Yuzhen very angry. A dollar saved is a dollar saved, even if it can be exchanged for two kilograms of candy. This damn girl!

Wu Shufen came to Gu Xiaoxia's house and felt a little uncomfortable when she knocked on the door.

Needless to say, those things that went into the water were definitely brought back by Li Long.

Li Long, what are you so capable of?

Gu Xiaoxia asked in the room:

"Who?"

"Me." Wu Shufen responded.

She heard some noise inside, and then the door opened.

"What are you doing?" Wu Shufen was a little curious. "I heard it was quite noisy."

"No... nothing." Gu Xiaoxia didn't want to lie to Wu Shufen, but Li Long and her father's words made her realize that some things really couldn't be shared, even with best friends - although the term "best friend" didn't exist at that time.

Wu Shufen followed Gu Xiaoxia into her room. Before entering, she caught a glimpse of the basin of lamb offal in the middle of the room and her heart skipped a beat.

But Wu Shufen did not ask. When she entered Gu Xiaoxia's room, she saw the closed Chinese textbook on the table. She smiled and said:
"Why, are you still reading? It's such a new era now, what's the point of reading?"

"Maybe... it will be useful later?" Gu Xiaoxia said hesitantly.

"What's the point? Going to college? Going to be a cadre? Going to be a worker?" Wu Shufen sneered, "We are destined to stay in the countryside for the rest of our lives. Forget about eating commercial grain."

"I'm unwilling to give up." Gu Xiaoxia put away the book and said, "Maybe I'll have a chance to pass the exam? The college entrance examination has been resumed..."

"Then you can take the exam, but I can't. I have returned everything I learned to the teacher and the school."

Wu Shufen went to junior high school, and was considered an intellectual in the team. But she was still far behind Gu Xiaoxia, who went to high school. Moreover, she had never picked up a textbook since she graduated from junior high school, and had forgotten most of the knowledge.

"It's winter anyway, why don't you give it a try?" Gu Xiaoxia didn't want her best friend to sink into despair, so she persuaded her, "Maybe it will be useful later."

"My mother has used all my books to make jackets," Wu Shufen said, not paying any attention to Gu Xiaoxia's advice. She shook her head and said, "She wants me to marry someone who has a promising future. It doesn't matter if I'm a worker, a driver, or a salesperson. I'm thinking about that too..."

"No matter how well you marry, it's not as good as being able to go out on your own." Gu Xiaoxia advised earnestly, "Relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself."

"Haha." Wu Shufen sneered, "Rely on yourself? You are still relying on others? The offal in the basin outside was sent by Li Long, right? Why would he send you these things?"

"Because...my dad helped his brother." Gu Xiaoxia said this with some stammering. In fact, even she herself knew that this reason was untenable.

Because of the help, Li Long sent gifts over again and again, and he should have paid it back long ago.

Then what else on my side do people care about?
"Haha." Wu Shufen stood up. "Li Long is not an ordinary person. You should think carefully about why he is here. I advise you not to get too close to him. Tao Dayong was arrested, and Gu Ermao... was also arrested. He might be the next one!"

After saying that, Wu Shufen turned around and left the Gu family.

She was angry, depressed and helpless.

What's the point? If you have already given up, how can you get him back? Besides, Wu Shufen is not someone else who wants her, so why should she chase Li Long back? A good horse never turns back!

Thanks to book friends Zoushentou and 20220321155702401 for their rewards, and thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets... I really didn't expect that I left a message yesterday saying that I hope everyone will support me more, but I didn't expect that the monthly ticket will directly triple the number... Thank you very much! Thank you very much for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!

Today, as usual, I will talk about two things. First, about the poisonous point of Chapter 84. I have read everyone's comments and discussed it with some writer friends. There are two problems here. The first is about the character of the protagonist. Many book friends mean that the protagonist should not compromise and should be tough to the end. It may be that I described the supporting role Li Xiangqian a little too negatively here. In fact, this person will appear in the later text and will link other events. So the description of this supporting role should be a little biased. Second, about the price of mutton, it is normal for Shicheng to sell it more expensive than Ma County. After all, it is 15 kilometers more, so it is normal for the toll to be a little higher. The second is that Li Long is from Ma County, and he will meet Li Xiangqian every day, so he will compromise a little. More problems are that I did not handle the details well and did not explain some things that should be explained clearly.

One more thing to say is that after midnight, a new round of recommendations will begin. I can't help but say it again here. This week is really crucial. Whether it can be upgraded to a higher level really depends on this week. I don't expect monthly tickets, after all, you have to spend money to get them. If you have time, please vote for recommendation tickets! And collection and follow-up reading! Please!
