Chapter 20 Still need to borrow a carriage? "You went out for a day and brought back a few pieces of wood. How come you didn't get a share when the Li family kid picked up a sheep?" Tao Daqiang, who had entered the house happily, unexpectedly received a scolding from Tao Jianshe when he handed the sesame cake to his father. He was stunned by his father's scolding, and it took him a while to react and defend himself: "That sheep was obtained by Brother Long, so it naturally belongs to him. I went to help, and Brother Long even bought me a pair of gloves!" He showed his new rabbit-skin gloves to his father. "I bribed you with just a pair of gloves!" Tao Jianshe was very happy at first, but then someone told him that Li Long had brought back a sheep, so he thought that his son had followed him, so he should get some meat, right? "Then I'm still eating at other people's houses. I don't even have any food when I go home! I can't even eat the fish I brought back, so what's the point of bringing back meat?" In the past, Tao Daqiang didn't dare to talk back, but today he came back with no food and no fish. He couldn't help but yell at Tao Jianshe: "At least they returned my things to me!" Tao Jianshe was stunned for a moment when his son yelled at him. His eyes were flustered for a moment, and then he picked up the pipe and smashed it on Tao Daqiang's head: "You've grown cocky after being away for two days, right? You dare to talk back to your father, right? If you have the guts, go with someone else! If you have the guts, don't be named Tao! Since your last name is Tao and you're in this house, I have the final say in this house! Want to eat? Go make it yourself!" Tao Daqiang was gasping for breath in frustration, and Tao Jianshe was coughing in anger. At this time, there was a knock on the door. "Who?" Tao Jianshe asked unhappily.
"Uncle Jianshe, it's me, Li Long." Li Long's voice came from outside. Tao Jianshe suddenly panicked. He had just been saying bad things about someone, and now the person was outside. He was too embarrassed to speak and just winked at Tao Daqiang. Tao Daqiang didn't see his father's look, but he had already walked over to open the door. "Uncle Jianshe, Daqiang. We have already thawed the frozen sheep. This leg of lamb belongs to Daqiang." Li Long handed a leg of lamb to Daqiang, and then said to Tao Jianshe: "Don't worry, Uncle Jianshe. This mutton is good meat and can be eaten. We are already cooking mutton soup at home." "Xiaolong, please bring the lamb leg over here. Take a look at it..." Tao Jianshe felt embarrassed. He sat up quickly and said, "Just let Daqiang take it... Come in and sit down!" "No, I have to go to the captain's house. I need a carriage tomorrow, so I have to tell him." "Are you going again tomorrow?" Tao Jianshe asked immediately, "Then will you take Daqiang with you?" Li Long looked at Tao Daqiang and asked: "Then Daqiang, you..." "I'll go to your house tomorrow morning." Tao Daqiang said. "Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow." Li Long left, pulled out a leg of lamb from the snow outside, and went to Xu Chengjun's house carrying it. "You said you wanted to borrow a carriage?" Looking at the lamb leg that Li Long brought, Xu Chengjun hesitated, "What about the work points..." "I'll take it out." Li Long pointed at the lamb leg and said, "This lamb leg is clean. It's a lamb that froze to death in the mountains. It's from a herdsman's home. I specifically asked about it. My family is cooking lamb offal soup. It's edible." "Okay. You put down your work points and I'll write a note, but I'll have to change horses tomorrow." "I'll do whatever the captain says." Li Long smiled and took out the money. Li Jia, Li Juan and Li Qiang were eating sesame cakes while looking at the mutton soup in the pot. "You said Xiaolong has changed a lot." Liang Yuemei sighed, "Tomorrow, I will borrow a carriage and bring a leg of lamb to the captain's family. I don't know if the captain's family dares to eat it."
"Why not eat it?" Li Jianguo was still cutting up the mutton. The sheepskin had been hung outside to freeze, and the offal was processed first. The room was filled with a faint fishy smell and the aroma of boiled mutton offal. "According to what Xiaolong said, we might be able to get the sheep back tomorrow, and then we can have a good winter. It's just that the sheep is not very fat..." "It's enough to have meat to eat. I was thinking how difficult it would be for my family this winter." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "We have fish, sheep, and quacking chickens. Even gods wouldn't trade this for a life like this!" "It's true! We can have a good New Year this winter!" Liang Yuemei said with a smile, "We don't lack firewood anymore, Xiaolong is really capable!" "Hey, I didn't expect Xiaolong to change so much." "My uncle said he was going to catch some fish and sell them in the county," Li Qiang suddenly interrupted, "He said one fish could sell for more than one dollar!" Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei looked at each other and said nothing. Does Li Long look like someone who can sell goods? Think about it, this definitely wouldn’t have happened before. But it’s hard to say what happened in the past two days! Not long after, Li Long pushed the door open from outside. "Is everything done?" Li Jianguo stopped cutting meat and looked up and asked. "It's done." Li Long said, "We have to catch the bus early tomorrow morning." As he said this, he took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liang Yuemei: "Sister-in-law, this is the ten dollars I earned today, take it." "I can't accept this money." Liang Yuemei waved her hand hastily, "You gave me ten yuan before, and my family doesn't need it, so take it." "Sister-in-law, you take it first and listen to me." Li Long pushed the money over, "I still have something to ask my brother." Liang Yuemei glanced at Li Jianguo, who nodded and said: "Put it away first. Xiaolong, tell me what's going on." "I went to a herdsman's home today. He had a gun but no bullets. He said there were wolves. I was wondering if you still had five or six and a half bullets. Could you give me some?" "There are dozens of bullets. You can take them all." Li Jianguo stood up, took a bunch of keys from his waist, found a key and opened the chest of drawers in the corner of the bedroom. He took out a paper bag and handed it to Li Long. This chest of drawers was made by someone when Li Jianguo bought the wood when he got married. The paint has started to peel off, but it is still good. All the valuable things in the Li family are in it. "They gave us this frozen lamb, so we should thank them." Liang Yuemei already knew that the lamb belonged to Halimu, so she said, "When you go there again, buy them some tea or something." A sheep costs dozens of yuan, while a pack of tea only costs one or two yuan, so we can't just take advantage of others. This is Liang Yuemei's simple idea. "I see." Li Long nodded and said, "There are many valuable things in the mountains. If we can get more things in the future, our family will become rich." "Dad, when we eat the lamb leg, give one thigh bone to me and my brother respectively." Li Juan said immediately when she saw Li Jianguo continuing to cut the meat. Li Long thought of the thigh stones that Nathan and his friends played with at Halimu's house, and his heart moved. There are dozens of thigh stones on the wooden kang. It should be okay to take a few, right? There are really too few toys for girl children these days. If a girl can grab a few thigh stones to play with, she will be like an emperor among the children, as powerful as a boy with two iron bulls in his hands. That night, many people in the team were discussing the Li family's affairs. Many people even suffer from insomnia because of this.
