Chapter 124 I came back because I didn’t want to have any regrets
When many families in the team started to take action, all the dead fish on the south bank of Dahaizi were picked up in two days.
Li Long estimated that his family picked up more than one thousand to nearly two thousand kilograms of fish, and Tao Daqiang's family also picked up several hundred kilograms.
"When the weather is fine and the yard is dry, borrow the stone mill in the backyard, grind the dried fish into powder, mix it with bran and chaff and feed it to the pigs. They will grow very fast!"
Li Long's words aroused Li Jianguo's agreement. He nodded and said, "That's right. Why didn't I think of it before? The ice in Xiaohai Lake is about to melt, but I don't think there will be many dead fish."
This is certain, because Li Long caught at least a thousand kilograms of fish in the small lake, and other people in the team also caught a lot, which reduced the amount of oxygen the fish needed in the water.
In the next two days, many people in the team went to Xiaohaizi, and indeed, they did not find many dead fish.
The Li family yard is now filled with the stench of dead fish. Because the roof is cleaned of snow every time it falls, most of the fish are now drying on the roof and will be put away after drying.
There was less and less snow in the fields, and the road surface was gradually drying up, so there was no longer so much mud to walk on.
Three days before school was about to start, Gu Boyuan and Gu Xiaoxia came to the Li family carrying a bag of things.
The two guests were led to the inner room to sit down. Liang Yuemei was busy pouring water. Li Long heard the noise and came to the west room.
Gu Boyuan said to Li Long very seriously:
"Xiaolong, Xiaoxia will go to teach in a middle school tomorrow. She was able to pass the exam to become a middle school teacher thanks to you. I brought her here today to thank you."
Gu Xiaoxia stood up and blushed as she was about to bow to Li Long. Li Long waved his hand hastily:
"No, no, no, I just said a possible piece of news, but I wasn't sure at the time."
"But it was this piece of news that made Xiaoxia review a month in advance. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done so well in the exam."
This is of course true. In her previous life, Gu Xiaoxia only passed the Central Primary School and did not enter the middle school. The Central Primary School did not have dormitories, so she had to walk from the team to work every day, which led to the later incident of Gu Ermao.
Now Gu Xiaoxia has been admitted to a middle school. The middle school has dormitories and is located in the countryside. The conditions are much better, and the salary and benefits are also much better. It can be said that her fate has changed.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Li Jianguo felt proud and said with a smile, "This is what Xiaolong should do."
The relationship between the two families was good, so Liang Yuemei cooked several hard dishes and steamed rice for lunch. Li Jianguo brought out some wine and wanted to have a few drinks with Gu Boyuan. Gu Boyuan originally wanted to go back for dinner, but Li Jianguo forced him to stay.
Gu Xiaoxia was helping in the kitchen and chatting with Liang Yuemei, while Li Long and Li Jianguo were talking to Gu Boyuan about the upcoming land division in the team.
"When Xiaoxia becomes a teacher, she will be able to eat commercial grain. My family only has two acres of land. Although I am not good at farming, I can still take care of these two acres." Everything in life is getting better. Gu Boyuan, who has always been a little gloomy, feels that the future is much brighter now.
"It's okay. It's just two acres of land. It's a small matter. If you have any problems, come and find me." Li Jianguo was also in high spirits at this time. "I plan to build a pig pen and raise pigs in the spring. Making money cannot only depend on the land. Now the land can produce food, but not money."
Gu Boyuan smiled and said:
"This team is full of the smell of fish. It's all caused by your family. Some people haven't reacted yet. When they remember, the dead fish are gone."
If Li Long hadn't reminded us about feeding dead fish to pigs, it would probably take another four or five years for someone to figure out the idea.
"It was Xiaolong's idea." Li Jianguo looked at Li Long with some pride, "Xiaolong has really grown up in the past two months." Li Long felt a little embarrassed.
After the meal, when the Gu family father and daughter were about to leave, Liang Yuemei gave them half of the things they brought and asked them to take them back. Gu Xiaoxia refused, and Liang Yuemei waved her hand and said:
"Take it and save it for your father. You will be a government employee from now on, so remember to come back often."
This sentence made Gu Xiaoxia want to cry. Those who came to her house every day in the past two days all said that they hoped that she could help them with this or that, or introduce them to someone. Only when she came to the Li family, she didn't ask for anything, but hoped that she could come back often.
A few days after school started, the snow in the fields was almost melted. That afternoon, Li Long went to the home of the team leader, or now should be called the village director Xu Chengjun.
"How big a sheep should it be? Three years old, 20 kilograms or more." Xu Chengjun saw Li Long coming to ask about the sheep the team wanted, so he said casually, "You also know how much our member representatives eat. Don't look at ten people, and they may not be able to afford a 20-kilogram sheep."
"Okay, I'll try my best to raise the older one." Li Long said, "By the way, Director, I heard that we're going to divide the production into teams?"
"Eh? How did you know that?" Xu Chengjun was only slightly surprised, then he smiled, "Did you hear that from somewhere else? I heard that Gu Jia Xiaoxia's good performance in the exam was also due to your contribution? Tell me, what do you think?"
"I just want to ask, if we want to split it, what should we do with this horse number?"
"The horse horn? The horse horn has been dismantled." Xu Chengjun said as a matter of course, "The horse horn is now only worth a few dollars on the wood on top. When the time comes, it will definitely be counted and divided into lots. Whoever catches it will own it. What do you think?"
"I want to buy the stable and raise some animals." Li Long said, "Look, Director, although the horses in the stable are divided, the stable is still a whole.
If we just split the wood, the remaining walls and so on would collapse in two years. I thought of preserving the whole thing and growing some things. After all, the government now encourages people to develop side businesses.”
After Li Long said this, Xu Chengjun started to think about it.
In the previous life, the wood inside the horse hut was sold as a property of the team, but it didn't sell for much. Then the remaining walls and other things collapsed in less than five years.
In fact, the stable is quite large, half the size of a football field, and is divided into an open circle and a warm circle, as well as a place for people to live, similar to an office. Li Long thought about catching some animals from the mountains to raise, which would be better than building it himself. The walls of this stable are three or four meters high. Although it is not a brick house, the mud bricks used by the whole team when it was built are of very good quality.
It's useless, what a pity.
In fact, Li Long's ultimate goal is to rent the horse house. Of course, the condition now is that it would be better to buy it, and if you can't buy it, you can rent it.
"How much do you want to pay?" Xu Chengjun suddenly asked, "I'm telling you, I won't sell those wood for less than two hundred yuan."
"Three hundred?" Li Long was surprised and mentioned a number, "The wood must be worth two hundred, but the courtyard wall and other things are not worth that much, right?"
"Three hundred and fifty. If you offer me three hundred and fifty, I can convince other people in the village committee and sell it to you. But you have to make sure there's something growing in it." Xu Chengjun gritted his teeth and confirmed it.
