Chapter 69: You want to step on me to show off? You are going crazy! Li Long made a promise to Gu Xiaoxia, which made Gu Xiaoxia grit her teeth and take the twenty yuan. If she had no other choice, she would never have begged Li Long to take her to sell fish - once she took this step, Gu Xiaoxia knew what kind of rumors she would face. But life must go on. My father is not good at managing the household and he is ill. Although we are not yet at the point where we have no surplus food, if we continue to spend more than we earn, we will not be able to survive in the spring. It is no exaggeration to say that these twenty dollars are a timely help. After returning to the house, Gu Xiaoxia told Gu Boyuan the news that Li Long said the school would expand its enrollment in the spring. "Does he say this news is reliable?" "What Li Long said is reliable. He travels around and knows a lot of people. It was a leader who said that." "Then... you should start reviewing from now on and catch up on your previous lessons. If we really want to recruit people, we will definitely have to take an exam." Gu Boyuan thought for a moment and said: "That's great, but you'd better not tell anyone else..." "Why? I wanted to talk to Shufen about this. She has also graduated from junior high school..." "What do you think will happen after you tell Wu Shufen about this?"
"What will happen?" Gu Xiaoxia had not yet realized the evil of human nature, her eyes were a little dazed, "I'll ask her to keep it a secret." "Will she keep it a secret? She will definitely tell her mother, and then the whole team will know about it. How many competitors will you have when you take the exam?" After Gu Boyuan said this, Gu Xiaoxia realized it belatedly and broke out in a cold sweat! "Li Long told you this because he wanted you to pass the exam." Gu Boyuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "Then you just need to study hard. When the exam comes, try to get selected. That will be worthy of his efforts. Don't think too much about the rest. This is not because we are stingy, this is a matter that concerns your whole life - once you pass the exam, you will eat commercial grain in the future. If you spread the news, it is very likely that someone will use their connections to help you. If you fail the exam, are you going to farm for the rest of your life? " Gu Xiaoxia nodded slowly: "I understand." She now understood how much debt she owed to Li Long. This was truly a matter that concerned her entire life! After Li Long gave the money, he turned around and left Gu's house. On his way back, he met several people. Xu Haijun, Gu Ermao, Tian Siping, Wu Shufen and the other two girls in the team, Liu Tianfeng and Wei Yuanfang. Seeing Li Long, Xu Haijun was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Xiaolong, we just came out of your house--" "You went to my house?" Li Long smiled. "I went to ask Xiaoxia's father to write couplets." "Yes, we heard that you killed a wolf in the mountains, so we wanted to go over and take a look at the wolf skin and stuff." Xu Haijun said, "You were not there, so your brother asked us to take a look. Did you really kill the wolf?" "Yeah." Li Long nodded, "Do you think it's dangerous to kill wolves? I don't know about others, but I don't. I just lie in ambush there, wait for the wolves to come, aim and shoot." "No wonder." Gu Ermao said with disdain, "I told you, it must not be difficult, otherwise, how could someone like you, Li Long, beat him?" Li Long was a little surprised. Why did Gu Ermao appear again? He heard from Li Jianguo that because the news of reporting Li Long had spread, Gu Ermao was too embarrassed to stay in the team for the past two days, so he asked his father, Gu Laoda, to send him to his uncle's house. "Ermao didn't mean that," Xu Haijun wanted to curse when he heard Gu Ermao's voice. Doesn't this guy have a brain? He hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "He just came back from his uncle's house today. Ermao is now learning to drive as an apprentice to a truck driver in his uncle's team..." Li Longxin said, no wonder, it turns out he has the confidence now. But you want to step on me and show off in front of a few girls, you are blind, he sneered and said: "Ermao, you are so arrogant! But don't think I am being rude. With your guts, even if you were lying in ambush like me, you wouldn't dare to fight! You might even pee your pants when you see the wolves coming! Don't believe me? Haha, then fight the wolf first and then you can brag!" Gu Ermao was originally quite proud of himself, after all, he was now a driver apprentice and had the opportunity to become a truck driver. In this day and age, workers, drivers, and salesmen were all very popular and enviable professions.
That's why he dared to come out today, and as soon as he said this, the way other people looked at him changed, and their original contempt turned into envy. That's why he had the courage to come and see Li Long's wolf. After all, no matter how much money Li Long made, it was just a small business. It was shameful to do this in this day and age. Didn’t you see that Wu Shufen and Liu Tianfeng looked at you differently? Originally, I thought Li Long would look at me with envy, but I didn't expect that not only did he not see this opportunity, but he also said that I didn't have the courage and exposed my scars! "You..." Gu Ermao was about to get angry, but Xu Haijun quickly stopped him: "Ermao, what are you doing? We are all on the same team. It's just a joke, right, Xiaolong?" "Yeah, if he thinks this is a joke, then it's a joke. If he thinks this is not a joke, then he should just fight first. Apprenticeship is nothing. Some people are still apprentices after following the cart master for three years," Li Long said with a smile, "but character and courage cannot be expressed with words, they must be demonstrated with strength!" After saying this, he glanced at Gu Ermao, not disguising the contempt in his eyes, and then said to Xu Haijun: "You guys keep busy. I have to get up early tomorrow for something. I won't talk any more. I'm leaving now." After saying that, he strode home. Now he felt that hanging out with these people at night, chatting and gossiping, was a waste of life. He should spend more time thinking about how to improve his life and make his life better. Take Wei Yuanfang for example. Her family situation is similar to Gu Xiaoxia's, but she doesn't think about how to live a good life like Gu Xiaoxia does. She spends all day visiting different houses with Xu Haijun and others. She didn't think so before, and it seemed quite lively, but now it seems like a waste of time. At least Gu Xiaoxia knows how to make progress and find ways to improve her family's life. What about them? After returning home, Li Long showed the couplet to Li Jianguo, and then put it in a spare room. It was too early to post the couplet until New Year's Eve. Before dawn the next day, after dinner, Li Long went to the stable to harness the carriage, and returned to Li's house to load the fish. Tao Daqiang also came over. The two drove the carriage to the county first, bought buns as usual, and planned to eat them while going to Shicheng. As a result, when buying buns, someone in the store pulled Li Long aside and asked: "Little comrade, were you the one selling fish at our door last time?" Li Long saw that it was indeed the man who had asked them not to sell fish at the door last time, so he smiled and asked: "Hello, what can I do for you?" "Can you get some more fish?" The man pulled Li Long aside and whispered, "The New Year is coming soon, and our canteen wants to add some dishes, but it's hard to do without fish. In addition, we also want to buy some fish to give benefits to employees..." "Yes." Li Long smiled and said, "How much do you want?" "I've asked around, and the fish you sell are all over two kilograms. I want ten." "Okay, two dollars a piece. I'll bring it to you later. Any fish will do." "We have it now? That's great. Five carps, and the rest, grass carp, silver carp, etc. can be mixed in." This time, Li Long and his team brought in more than 40 large fish weighing more than two kilograms, as well as some palm-sized, well-proportioned crucian carps weighing about 20 kilograms. Li Long took the buns out for Tao Daqiang to eat. He took a urea bag and put ten fish in it, then walked into the meat canteen again. The man waited, and when he saw Li Long bring the fish, a smile appeared on his face. After counting the fish, the man took out two big unity cards and handed them to Li Long: "Comrade, this fish is good. I'll find you again when I need it." "Okay, we'll come in the summer too, and we'll be alive then." "That's daring!" After leaving the big meat canteen, the two of them headed towards Stone City in a good mood.
