Chapter 77: Intercepting the Public Hu The Li family has become accustomed to Li Long going out every day, and they still cook mutton soup in the evening. "Qiangqiang, why didn't you chew the bone clean?" Liang Yuemei pointed at the bone beside Li Qiang's bowl and asked with a straight face, "You're wasting it, don't you know that?" "But those are all tendons, they always get stuck in your teeth, and they're not as delicious as meat..." Li Qiang defended himself a little aggrieved. "You're not eating because it's stuck in your teeth? You've only been eating meat for a few days and you're already disliking tendons? In the past, you could piss off the dogs out there by gnawing on some bones, and you didn't leave even a bit of tendon or skin!" "Alright, alright," Li Jianguo said with a smile, "Qiangqiang, remember, don't waste food, especially meat. This is what your uncle worked hard to get. Do you understand?" "I understand..." Li Qiang picked up the bone and started chewing it hard again. Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei looked at each other and then looked at Li Long. Yes, because of Li Long, these ten days have really been like a dream. The child actually started to pick and choose the meat he eats! "Xiaolong, we caught more than 40 kilograms of fish today. Do you want to sell them tomorrow?" "No." Li Long waved his hand. "Put the fish at home first. I have something else to do tomorrow. If everything is done, I will go sell fish again in a few days before the New Year."
"Daqiang has something going on at home. He originally said he would go with you to sell fish tomorrow..." "That's fine. I'll go to his house later when I return the horse and explain everything to him." Li Long finished his mutton soup. "Brother, I'll return the horse first, and we'll skin the roe deer later..." "I don't need you," Li Jianguo said with a smile, "I can do it myself with just one roe deer." Skinning sheep these days gave Li Jianguo confidence. It’s just a roe deer. Li Long smiled, didn't say much, put on his clothes and went out. After driving the carriage to the stable, Li Long said goodbye to Lao Luo and then went to the captain's house. Xu Chengjun saw Li Long coming in and asked with a smile: "Xiaolong, do you still need to rent a carriage?" "Well, we may need to rent it for several days later, so come and tell us, let's rent it for five days first." Li Long took out eight dollars and put it on the table, "Captain, leave the money here, I'm leaving first." "Okay." Xu Chengjun waved his hand, "You go ahead and do your thing." During this period, Li Long paid the team twenty or thirty yuan just for renting a horse-drawn carriage. Xu Chengjun was a little envious of this guy. Is selling fish really that profitable? Sewing machines and bicycles are not cheap! However, the Li family has not heard of any large items being purchased yet. Is it because they don’t have enough money? Li Long went to Tao Daqiang's house again and shouted in the yard. Tao Daqiang hurried out of the house. "Da Qiang, I have to go to the county to do some work tomorrow, so I won't be selling fish yet. If you have time, go catch fish with my brother. If my brother is not free, you can catch the fish yourself and freeze them first. We can sell them together in a few days." "Okay." Tao Daqiang was a little disappointed. He had originally planned to sell fish tomorrow and earn some money to prepare some New Year's goods for his family. "Take this ten yuan first." Li Long took out ten yuan, "This money is for the fishing these two days. But if you don't catch enough fish, I will deduct money when I sell the fish later." Although he had already made it clear that he was going to settle accounts with Tao Daqiang as an employment relationship, Li Long knew that he still had to take advantage of the relationship. Tao Daqiang was the only one in the team who could work with him steadily, and he didn't want to let such a good employee go. "Okay, Brother Long, just watch me." Tao Daqiang promised excitedly. "Okay, I'll go back first. It's too cold outside."
There are less than ten days left before the Spring Festival, and the temperature outside is getting lower and lower. Li Long was walking back, and when he passed by the haystack outside Old Yang's yard, he saw two dark figures leaning against the haystack and whispering. He had the idea of playing a mischievous trick, so he walked over quietly, and when he got close, he deliberately coughed loudly suddenly. The two black shadows suddenly separated and jumped to both sides as if they were exploded by firecrackers. What surprised Li Long was that one of the two people was Wu Shufen and the other was Gu Ermao! This is really embarrassing! Li Long reacted quickly, pretending nothing had happened, and quickly walked past the two people. Wu Shufen also recognized Li Long at this time, and her face immediately burned. Gu Ermao came back to his senses, reached out to hold Wu Shufen's waist, and whispered: "Don't worry about him, this guy is jealous, let's continue..." He also realized that it was Li Long who scared the two men. Although he hated him to death, he did not think he had the ability to fight a wolf, so he did not dare to cause trouble for Li Long. He just wanted to continue with Wu Shufen. "I'm going home." Wu Shufen brushed off the hay on her body and said in a light tone, "You should go home too." Having said this, he strode towards home without looking back, and even started to jog as he walked. Wu Shuhua was very upset at the moment. How could she sit on the haystack with Gu Ermao under his sweet talk? And let him hug her waist! The most important thing is that Li Long actually saw it! It's so embarrassing. I don't know if he will tell others... Gu Ermao looked at Wu Shufen's back, feeling a little annoyed and a little expectant. I got his arm around her waist this time, but next time... I think my identity as a driver's apprentice may be more useful. The next morning, Li Long drove a horse-drawn carriage to the county. First we went to Mr. Ma, the one who wanted to sell the house. His name was Ma Mengqi, and his son was Ma Xuelong. The old man was 61 years old and in good health. Hearing the knock on the door, Ma Mengqi came to open the door, saw Li Long, and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, you're here. I thought you weren't coming." "Then how can I not come? I'm worried that you, Mr. Ma, will regret not selling it." "That won't happen." Ma Mengqi waved his hands repeatedly: "At my age, I can't tell lies. I have to take it as a nail." "Okay, let's now..." "Let's go and handle the formalities." The people from the street office processed the procedures for two people, and they had gloomy faces throughout the process. Li Long could also understand. After all, no one would feel good when the duck that was about to be in your mouth flew away. "Xiao Li, please wait for two days. I'll clean up here and hand over the room to you the day after tomorrow. How about that?" "That's no problem." With the paperwork in hand, Li Long was not worried. "It's okay. You can stay a few more days." "I dare not stay any longer. My son is waiting for me over there. I just packed up my things and haven't had time to move yet. Oh, when I leave, I don't know when I will be able to eat the fish here." Ma Mengqi still felt a little emotional.
"That's easy. Once our family is settled there, transportation will be more convenient. We can get there in one day by plane." "You are still good at talking." After paying the rent, Li Long didn't have much money left. It was unlikely that he could get another ten sheep. But he still planned to go into the mountains first and talk to Halimu and Yushanjiang about the matter. If he could do it, then he would do it. If not, he would continue to sell his fish. After all, this matter must require the cooperation of Yushanjiang and Halimu.

The data from the day before yesterday was a surprise to me, but yesterday was a complete disaster. The data for one day was not even half of the data for tomorrow. It plummeted and was horrible... Forget it, I won’t read it anymore. Keep a calm mind and focus on writing. (End of this chapter)
