This night, Qin Long and Uncle Da Zhuang talked a lot, almost sleepless all night.

talked about the old company commander, talked about Li Jiagou, and also talked about Da Zhuang's home.

Only then did Qin Long realize how ridiculous the homework book and stationery in the half of the backpack he was carrying.

Uncle Zhuang's family is living a good life in this small mountain village called Liujiapo, Uncle Da Zhuang can hunt, but also some simple brick work, when the farm is not working, either go to the mountains to hunt, or go to the county to do a period of small work, and there is still a few living money in hand.

But even so, the two babies in Uncle Zhuang's family did not go to school, and Uncle Da Zhuang felt that it was useless for the girl to go to school, so he was not allowed to go to school, and felt that the male baby was too young to let him go to school.

A ten-year-old boy still thinks he's too young?

The ten-year-old boys in the city are about to graduate from elementary school!

But here, it's really too young for a ten-year-old boy to go to school.

There is no school in Liujiapo, so the baby has to go to another big village five kilometers away to go to school, cross a river, walk along the road for another three kilometers, and then climb over a hill that is not too high, but too high for a ten-year-old child, before she can reach the school in that big village.

If there are children in the village who go to school, they can still have a companion together, but the people in the village who have such children have no money for their children to go to school, so Uncle Zhuang can only plan to wait for another two years before sending the baby to school.

Qin Long curiously interrupted Uncle Zhuang's words and asked suspiciously: "Isn't it all nine-year compulsory education now, why does it cost money to go to school?"

Uncle Da Zhuang replied to Qin Long with a wry smile: "You people in the city don't know about the situation here, the baby doesn't need to spend money to go to school, and even the baby's books will be given to them by kind people." But the baby always has to eat when he goes to school, and he has to eat so many things every day if he doesn't work, and many people can't afford to raise them at all, so they simply don't let the baby go, so that they can help the family do some work if they stay at home. ”

Qin Long was struck by lightning like five thunderbolts.

Such a big baby is already going to help the family?

Even eating in school has become a problem?

Qin Long looked at the half of the steamed potatoes that Uncle Zhuang had nibbled on the table.

Can't even steamed potatoes be enough for children?

Qin Long's nose was sour again.

This is still the status quo of Liujiapo, which is relatively close to the highway, so what will Lijiagou look like when it has to cross four hills?

Qin Long didn't even dare to imagine it.

When he was a child, his father hung Qin Long on a tree and beat him, and now that he looks back, Qin Long suddenly feels how happy his childhood was.

The family can eat a meal of meat every once in a while, and the sea fish and shrimp are almost never broken, and sometimes my father will bring a few crabs and a string of shrimp crickets to take home.

Qin Long remembered that his father was reluctant to eat, so he ate it for himself and Qin Feng.

Uncle Da Zhuang seems to be reluctant to talk more about his family, he talks about the old company commander the most, Qin Long can hear between the lines of Uncle Da Zhuang, Uncle Da Zhuang and even the people in these ten miles and eight villages are very, very respectful to the old company commander, and whoever marries a daughter-in-law and a girl is proud to invite the old company commander to marry.

This glory is not something that those high-ranking officials or giants with a lot of money can get.

And now, Qin Long is so poor that he only has money left!!

Late at night, Qin Long was lying on the West House bed arranged for him by Uncle Da Zhuang, covered with a quilt that should be covered by two babies, and he almost stayed awake all night.

The next morning, before dawn, Qin Long, who was in a daze, was awakened by the sound of movement outside the house, and he hurriedly got up and got out of bed and walked out.

Uncle Da Zhuang saw that Qin Long was up, said hello to Qin Long with a smile, turned around and went back to the house, walked out with a crumpled black plastic bag in his hand, and handed it to Qin Long with a smile: "There are no good things at home, my mother-in-law got up early to steam some potatoes for you, and a piece of salted pork, take it on the road to fill your hunger, now hurry up, don't delay on the way, you should be able to reach Lijiagou when it gets dark." ”

Qin Long's eyes moistened, he reached out and took the plastic bag that was still hot, looked at Uncle Da Zhuang and said, "Uncle Da Zhuang, can I ask you something?"

"You say, don't ask for anything. ”

"Uncle Zhuang, I want to leave the old company commander here for a day first, I forgot something, I want to go back to the county seat, and I can come back before dark. ”

"Hey, what's the matter, if you're busy, I'll send the old company commander home first. ”

Qin Long hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, really no, I am very grateful for you to help me take care of the old company commander for a day." ”

Uncle Da Zhuang said kind words and sent Qin Long to the gate of the courtyard, Qin Long walked along the wooden bridge and walked through the small river outside Liujiapo Village, and when he turned around, he saw Uncle Da Zhuang standing at the gate of the courtyard, but there were two more children beside him who Qin Long had only seen once, and the two children were very afraid of life, and when they saw Qin Long turn around, they hurriedly hid behind Uncle Da Zhuang.

Qin Long exhaled, took out a hot potato from his pocket, took a bite hard, and strode towards the road he came from.

Qin Long didn't know how long he had been walking along the road, and it was nearly ten o'clock when he got on a farm truck that went to the county seat to sell mountain goods, and he bumped all the way to the county seat, and there was no bus behind his butt to catch up.

Qin Long took out his wallet to pay some fare for the young man who carried him into the city, but the young man fled in a hurry as if he was frightened, and he was afraid that he didn't even hear Qin Long shouting thank you after his ass.

Qin Long looked at the agricultural vehicles in the distance, exhaled deeply, and walked across the road to a bank across the road.

In the afternoon, a truck full of things stumbled off the road, along the rugged mountain road until it reached the wooden bridge of the small river outside Liujiapo Village, the driver stopped the car, and said to Qin Long who was sitting in the passenger seat with a sad face: "Boss, the car can only drive here, this bridge is too narrow, I can't drive this car." ”

Qin Long nodded at the driver's master: "Please help me unload all the things here, I'll go to the village and ask someone to come and carry it." ”

The driver's master got out of the car in response, and asked Qin Long while opening the car: "Listening to the boss's accent, it shouldn't be from us, I guess the boss should be the son-in-law of this village, right? ”

Qin Long smiled: "I'm not the son-in-law of this village, it's troublesome to the master, I'll go to the village to call someone first." ”

As he spoke, Qin Long laboriously picked up half of the pork and strode towards the small bridge without saying a word.

The driver looked at Qin Long, who was striding up to the wooden bridge with a half-fan of pigs, with a confused expression.

If he is not from this village, nor is he the son-in-law of this village, why did he buy so many things to come to this village? Looking at these things he bought, it doesn't look like the government has helped the poor?

"Uncle Zhuang is not at home? I'm back. Qin Long pushed open the courtyard door and shouted into the house, and had already strode into the courtyard.

This season has not yet begun in spring, and it is the most leisurely time in the countryside.

Uncle Da Zhuang walked out of the house quickly, and saw Qin Long walking in with half a pig, and hurriedly trotted to meet Qin Long, while reaching out to help carry the pork down, he couldn't stop complaining to Qin Long: "Brother Dalong, what are you doing here, what are you doing." ”

Qin Long smiled and lifted half of the pig to the clean bluestone slab under the eaves with Uncle Da Zhuang, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Uncle Da Zhuang, I also brought a little something, can you help me find a few people to carry it over, it's all on the other side of the river." ”

"It's no problem to find someone, you are, hey, what are you spending this money for, you wait, I'll call someone." ”

In a short effort, the whole village was a sensation, dozens of men, women and children in the village flocked to the bridge, people looked curiously at Qin Long, who was busy with the small truck driver, and even more curious about the things that Qin Long and the small truck driver unloaded from the car.

After a day's work, Liu Jiapo's people knew that Qin Long was the one who sent the old company commander back, and even many people shed tears for the death of the old company commander.

But what is this person doing now that he has pulled so many things back?

Qin Long arched his hand at Uncle Da Zhuang and the villagers who gathered around him and said, "Uncle Da Zhuang, folks, please help, let's carry these things to the village." There is a TV and a microwave oven. I didn't bring the refrigerator to you, and the supermarket in the county town didn't have so many goods, but I had already ordered it for you, and when they arrived, they would send it to the village, and it would still be one by one. I was going to take the rest of these TVs to Lijiagou, and I also asked everyone to help me carry them to the yard of Uncle Da Zhuang's house. I also brought some pork and rice, and tonight I invite everyone to eat rice and braised pork."

With a bang, the villagers who came around exploded.

How much does it cost to have a TV, a refrigerator, and a microwave oven for a family?

The children who came running after them didn't care about the TV, the electromechanical refrigerator, and even the braised pork and rice that they were about to eat, and their eyes were already fixed on the two large boxes with candy patterns, guessing if they would really contain colorful fruit candy
