Chapter 111: First time hunting in a car
Li Xiangqian was very depressed, but he had no choice. At this moment, he made up his mind that when he had the chance, he would teach this kid a lesson!
Li Long, however, was not afraid at all. He had never intended to be a worker or to eat government food in his life.
Save some money now, and wait for the first, second, and third rounds of land contracting, then contract more land. After 20 or 30 years, hand over the land to the cooperative and get hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Then you can go hunting and fishing in your spare time. How wonderful!
If I were a worker, I would have to be managed by others and would not be as free as I am now.
Li Xiangqian almost cheated him once. If he doesn't cheat back now, would he be imitating others and acting like a big-bellied Buddha?
He, Li Long, is really not!
"I have a small-caliber rifle." Li Xiangqian took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "If you really kill a yellow sheep this time, the rifle will be yours. Although the rifle has been used several times, it is almost as good as a new one."
"Okay." Li Long agreed and said, "Section Chief Li, you know that I can hunt yellow sheep from Comrade Chen, right?"
"Yeah, how did you know?" Li Xiangqian was a little confused.
Li Long smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked:
"Captain Li, when are we going to hunt the yellow sheep?"
"Just in the next two days, wait for my news. Once I notify you, you will hurry to the county."
"Row."
After hanging up the phone, Li Long chatted with Xu Chengjun for a few more words and went home.
Li Xiangqian was still thinking about how Li Long mentioned Chen Hongjun, then he slapped his head:
"This brat! He's trying to point a finger at me. He's afraid that I won't give him a small caliber, right? Damn, he's not that big, but he's so cunning!"
Xu Chengjun also thought for a long time. Why didn't Li Long have so many connections? Wouldn't it be better if he could use his connections to get himself into the city? Wouldn't it be good to eat commercial grain? Why did he have to contradict his superiors and ask for compensation?
Li Long returned home and Li Jianguo asked him about the details.
"It's the purchasing manager of the supply and marketing cooperative who asked me to lead them to hunt yellow sheep." Li Long said casually, "It's not a big deal. I'll take them there when he calls."
"So simple? It's not easy to hunt yellow sheep, right?" Liang Yuemei asked while sewing clothes at the sewing machine.
"The most difficult part of hunting yellow sheep is finding where they are," Li Long explained. "There is a large Gobi desert below our county, but there are no good roads. If they want to find them, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack unless they find a guide. I happen to know where yellow sheep are, so I'll take them there to have a look."
"It's not dangerous to hunt yellow sheep. It's nothing." Li Jianguo nodded. "It's easy to help the people in the supply and marketing cooperative if there is any problem later."
"I told him that I had a gun, so he gave me a gun." Li Long said with a smile, "I wanted a sand gun, but he refused to give it to me and said he would give me a small-caliber gun."
"What? Small caliber? He really gave it to me?" Li Jianguo was surprised. "A small caliber is not cheap!"
"Who cares? I can't beat him for nothing. I just said that. Since he gave it to me, it shouldn't be a big deal." Li Long smiled and said, "I'm going to the east room to rest."
"Go ahead, go ahead. You must be exhausted these days." Li Jianguo waved his hand.
Li Long went to the east room. The fire was burning brightly and the room was as warm as spring. Li Long lay on the kang and read a book. He soon fell asleep.
The next day, Gu Xiaoxia came to see Li Long specifically.
"Have you received the notice?" Li Long looked at Gu Xiaoxia's smiling face and asked, "Is there any change in what I told you?"
"Not much has changed." Gu Xiaoxia didn't care about that at this time, and said to Li Long excitedly in the east room:
"The notice said that high school students can take the exam to become middle school teachers or elementary school teachers; junior high school students can only take the exam to become elementary school teachers. The team has notified everyone who has graduated from junior high school or above that the exam will be held in a week..."
"Are you sure?" Li Long asked again.
"Anyway - I've read all the original textbooks, I think it's about 80% correct." Gu Xiaoxia was still quite confident.
After all, she knew the news nearly a month earlier than others, and with this month's review time, she had the confidence to say this. "That's all, do well in the exam." Li Long encouraged.
"This... this is for you. Thank you for giving me this news in advance." Gu Xiaoxia took out a pair of woolen gloves and handed them to Li Long, blushing and saying, "I knitted them before the New Year. You... you can see if they are suitable."
Li Long took it with a smile, and Gu Xiaoxia said:
"Then... I'm going back."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Li Long to reply.
Li Long held the gloves and saw Gu Xiaoxia off.
"Xiaoxia is here?" Li Jianguo came out after hearing the noise.
"Well, I told her earlier that she was going to review her lessons because the school was looking for teachers. She had been reviewing for a while, and now that she got the notice, she came over to thank me."
"This is great news." Li Jianguo nodded. "We announced it yesterday on the loudspeaker, and those on the team who had attended junior high school or above were almost laughing their heads off."
Li Long understood these people's obsession with eating commercial grain. In fact, in half a month, when the news of contracting production to households and distributing land to families came, the whole team would be so happy that they would laugh silly.
In the afternoon, Li Xiangqian called and told Li Long to wait at the gate of the county supply and marketing cooperative at 8 o'clock the next morning. He didn't know that Li Long had a house in the county, and this notification was half public and half private.
Forget about official business, hunting should be done early. For personal matters, of course, she was angry that Li Long was "threatening" her with hunting, and she wanted to make Li Long suffer. It was nearly ten kilometers from the production team to the county, and she was waiting at the supply and marketing cooperative at eight in the morning, so she had to go out at six, right?
Li Long received the notice, went home to tell his brother and sister-in-law, then rode his bicycle to the county.
I had a good sleep in the big house early that night and woke up at around seven o'clock the next day.
When it was about time, Li Long dressed neatly, locked the door, walked to the big meat canteen to have breakfast, and then walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Li Xiangqian, wearing a military coat, arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative at 8:30. When he didn't see Li Long, he got angry and started cursing:
"Is this idiot trying to cheat me? Why didn't he come when the time came?"
"Section Chief Li, who are you talking about?" Li Long opened the window of the gatehouse and asked Li Xiangqian with a smile.
After he arrived, he naturally had no intention of freezing outside. The gatekeeper, Mr. Li, was a light sleeper, so he woke up when Li Long knocked on the door and opened the door for Li Long to come in. Li Long was not idle either, he heated up the gatehouse stove and warmed himself inside.
Li Xiangqian had no idea what to say, so he went into the lobby to warm himself by the fire. When it was almost nine o'clock, he called Li Long out.
After standing outside for ten minutes, a green jeep drove over and stopped next to the two people.
"Hurry up and get in the car," the driver shouted. Li Xiangqian pointed to the co-pilot seat and said to Li Long:
"You sit there and point the way."
Li Long went to the passenger seat and tried to fasten the seat belt out of habit, but he didn't feel anything. Then he realized that this 212 jeep manufactured in the s did not have seat belts.
He adjusted his sitting position and leaned back. He felt the seat was a bit hard, but he had to make do with it. It was better than riding a 28-inch bicycle in the cold wind.
The two people in the back seat were a little surprised to see Li Long's familiar and natural look.
Has this guy ever ridden in a car?
Shouldn't it?
