"Me? What can I do? ”

Li Zhankui looked at Li Weidong puzzled.

In fact, what he meant by asking this sentence was that he was not worthy of Li Weidong paying such a big price for him.

His family was so poor that he couldn't even get some money for gifts.

Li Weidong has these two places, if he is willing to 'change', it is easy to say that he will be worth 1,800 yuan.

After all, as long as the farm can be regularized, the lowest salary is thirty or forty yuan a month, and it is about four hundred a year.

Taking out the salary of the first two years and changing it for a lifetime of work is enough to make people grab their heads.

This is like the future generations, as long as you pay 300,000 yuan, you can change the drought and flood income, you don't have to worry about being fired, who wouldn't be tempted by a career editor with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan?

Even in Li Zhankui's opinion, even if he sells his life, it is not worth the money.

"Brother Da Kui, everyone has their own value."

Li Weidong said with a little meaning.

In the next three years, he also needs to build a group of teams for himself, and he can definitely play an important role at critical moments.

After all, with the continuous improvement of his status, there are some dirty jobs and tiring work, and it is no longer suitable for him to go out in person.

It's like this time Gong Jiadong asked people to shoot black guns, until now, the other party still bites to death and just shoots according to the rules of the farm.

But everyone knows what the truth is.

The other party does this, of course, with the element of loyalty, but it is also for self-preservation.

In any case, Li Weidong needs someone to help him do something that is inconvenient for him to do.

There is no doubt that Li Zhankui is the right person for this.

At the moment, he's just investing.

"I'll think about it."

Li Zhankui was silent for a few seconds, and did not immediately agree.

Li Weidong didn't care about this.

Li Zhankui's personality is better to say, and it is called integrity.

But in reality, this person is stubborn and a bit stubborn in some ways.

Because of this, Li Weidong is more at ease, otherwise he would not dare to reuse him if he is replaced by a person with a sleek and cunning personality.

"Okay."

Li Weidong nodded and didn't force it.

Anyway, he has already given the opportunity, if Li Zhankui can't seize it, then he won't insist anymore.

At noon, Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai ate here.

The room was narrow and somewhat dark, and although there were electric lights, the wattage was also the lowest, and there was no stove.

Li Zhankui's younger brother has been shrunk in the quilt, not because he is lazy, but because he has no thick clothes, and he can't stand the cold outside.

As for Li Zhankui's mother, knowing that Li Weidong was coming, she struggled to get up from the bed, and thanked him for everything.

In terms of age, the other party is just in his early forties, but his hair is all gray, and he looks like he is sixty years old.

And the health is not good, and I cough hard.

After just saying a few words, I was so uncomfortable that I broke out in a cold sweat and had to go back to lie down.

Even when Li Weidong was sitting outside, he could hear the other party in the inner room, covered in the quilt, and forced himself to suppress his cough, as if he was afraid that his benefactor would be disgusted, so he lived carefully.

Wild boar stewed cabbage, as well as pickled pickles, but in order to entertain Zhou Xiaobai, Li Hongmei still took out the white noodles kept at home for the New Year and made a bowl of hand-rolled noodles for him.

Zhou Xiaobai saw that Li Hongmei was so quick at a young age, and she was proficient in housework and cooking, and she was also very impressed.

Although she has lived in a privileged environment since she was a child, when she came to Li Zhankui's house, she did not show a trace of dislike from beginning to end, and even took the initiative to help.

After eating, Li Weidong took Zhou Xiaobai and left.

"Weidong, why is he reluctant to go to work on the farm?"

On the way, Zhou Xiaobai asked his own questions.

In her opinion, Li Zhankui's family conditions are so poor, his mother is still sick, and he should seize such a good opportunity, but until the two leave, the other party still doesn't seem to have 'figured it out'.

Is it because of self-esteem?

"It's not that I don't want to, but I haven't thought about it yet." Li Weidong replied lightly.

"Didn't think about it?"

At this time, Zhou Xiaobai was even more puzzled, what else was there to think about?

"Yes, some people agree, but they should be in their mouths, and when something happens, they are the first to retreat. And some people promise that they will really give up their lives. Li Weidong explained.

"Oh."

Zhou Xiaobai nodded as if he didn't understand: "Then if he doesn't agree, will you continue to help his family?" ”

Obviously, after a visit, Zhou Xiaobai felt sympathy for him.

There were even several times when she couldn't help but want to take out the tickets and money in her pocket.

But Li Weidong seemed to see through her thoughts, and shook his head at her as she reached into her pocket.

"Not anymore."

Li Weidong said this very resolutely.

But it was also unexpected by Zhou Xiaobai, after all, in her eyes, Li Weidong was very sympathetic.

"Why?"

"There is a saying that kindness becomes hatred, blindly helping others, and the final harvest is not necessarily gratitude."

Li Weidong is not stupid, he has done this, if Li Zhankui still stubbornly disagrees, why does he have to catch up?

Is it true that his grain is blown by a strong wind?

In the afternoon, Li Weidong took Zhou Xiaobai and Li Weibin to the dam.

Li Weiguo, that is, the kid of Li Weidong's second uncle's family, took out his own baby, the ice climbing plow.

There is already a thick layer of ice in the reservoir here, at least twenty or thirty centimeters, let alone people on it, even if you drive a tank up it, it will be fine.

At this time, the reservoir becomes a paradise for all the children in the village.

Li Weiguo is the youngest, only seven or eight years old, but he is also very wild.

At this moment, many children from the village have gathered on the ice, even from other villages.

Li Xueru was the first to sit on the ice climbing plow with her strength, and then Li Weibin pulled Li Weiguo and played happily.

This scene, Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were full of envy.

It's just that Li Weiguo's ice climbing plow is made according to the size of a child, and Zhou Xiaobai can't sit in it at all.

Seeing this, Li Weidong used a dime to rent a large ice climbing plow from a half-grown teenager and let Zhou Xiaobai sit on it, he pulled the other party, and also joined the ocean of joy.

Zhou Xiaobai was trained according to the standards of everyone's girlfriends, she can draw, play the piano, and dance, but it is the first time to play the ice climbing plow, so it is particularly novel.

Just when Li Weidong was pulling Zhou Xiaobai to have fun, three young people suddenly stopped them.

"Li Weidong?"

The person who came took a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head, and looked at Li Weidong.

That expression, if you owe more than you owe, you owe as much as you owe.

"Chen Jiahe?"

Li Weidong looked at the other party as he was a little familiar, thought about it carefully, and a name popped out of his mind.

The other party is from Shangchengou, next to his village, and he is still a classmate of Li Weidong in the past.

Although they are classmates, the relationship between the two is not very good.

The original owner's previous personality was a bit dull, but also a little honest, and belonged to the inconspicuous kind.

And Chen Jiahe is the kind of bad boy who likes to fight and bully honest classmates.

The original owner was bullied by him several times.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a grudge.

"Looks like you remember me, I heard you went to work in the city? After your mother died, didn't your father want you? ”

Although Chen Jiahe was saying this to Li Weidong, his eyes kept wandering around Zhou Xiaobai.

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Li Weidong moved his steps and blocked Zhou Xiaobai.

"I didn't expect you to be like a stuffy gourd when you went to school, and when you went to the city, you could deceive such a handsome girl and not introduce you to your brother?"

Chen Jiahe even tidied up the clothes on his body, but his eyes were ill-intentioned.

"That's right, Li Weidong, everyone is classmates, let's play together."

"Girl, or we'll pull you."

The remaining two youths also flirted.

Zhou Xiaobai was also a little frightened when he saw this scene, got up from the ice plow, and hid behind Li Weidong.

"Get out of the way."

Li Weidong said coldly.

If he was still the same Li Weidong as before, he might have retreated.

However, a few stunned young people, if it weren't for the fear of scaring Zhou Xiaobai behind him, he would have already done it.

Even if he doesn't pull out a gun, with his current physical fitness, as well as the few tricks that Li Zhankui taught him, it will be easy to clean up the three of them.

"Get out of the way? You let us get out of the way? ”

Chen Jiahe smiled, and even spat out a puff of smoke at Li Weidong.

"Stand back."

Li Weidong turned his head and said a word to Zhou Xiaobai.

"Be careful."

Zhou Xiaobai's little face turned pale, and she didn't know if she was freezing or afraid, but at this moment, after she heard Li Weidong's words, she was unusually well-behaved, just admonished, and retreated a distance.

But just as Li Weidong was about to make a move, a figure quickly walked in front of him.

"I'm coming!"

"Li Zhankui, this matter has nothing to do with you."

The person who suddenly appeared was Li Zhankui.

And Chen Jiahe obviously knew him, a trace of fear flashed on his face, and he took two steps back.

The other two young men also looked like they were facing a great enemy.

"Got it figured?"

Li Weidong didn't expect that Li Zhankui would appear so coincidentally.

Still, he let go of his fist and asked seriously.

He believed that Li Zhankui must have understood what he meant.

"Well, I've thought about it, how to deal with it?"

Li Zhankui didn't have any expression on his face.

"It's also a classmate, so they have a cheap mouth, a small punishment and a big commandment, one person and one arm."

Li Weidong felt that he had to change his past style and not break people's legs at every turn.

Behind him, Zhou Xiaobai, who was originally relieved, heard his words, his eyes widened suddenly, and his expression was as cute as it was, and it could be used as an emoji.

However, Li Zhankui was not surprised.

"Let's go, let's go home first."

Li Weidong saw that there were already signs of people surrounding him, so he took Zhou Xiaobai's hand, greeted Li Weibin and turned to leave.

Fights and brawls are common nowadays, and even if you break your arm or leg, it's not as serious as in later generations.

What's more, it was the other party who looked for it first, and Li Weidong could testify as a public security officer, so even if the other party finally looked for the public security and the village, it would be useless.

From the moment Zhou Xiaobai was held by Li Weidong's little hand, the whole person was stunned, and he was pulled away in a daze.

As for Li Weibin, the three little guys obviously haven't played enough, but they don't dare to go against Li Weidong's intentions, so they can only turn back three times one step at a time.

Li Weidong left the ice, and before he had gone far, he heard a scream from behind him.

Cleaning up a few gangsters is too easy for Li Zhankui.

"Will it be okay?"

After walking for a while, Zhou Xiaobai reacted, she tried to pull her hand a few times, but after being firmly grasped, she gave up and let Li Weidong lead her.

"It's just a fight, what can it do?"

Li Weidong shook his head, he didn't pay attention to it at all, what he cared more about was that Li Zhankui finally figured it out and was willing to stand up.

"Hmm."

Hearing Li Weidong say this, Zhou Xiaobai was also relieved.

Although she is a little silly and sweet at times, she is not really stupid.

At the same time, I also vaguely understand Li Weidong's previous sentence: Some people agree, but they should just say it, and when something happens, they will be the first to retreat. And some people promise that they will really give up their lives.

There is no doubt that Li Zhankui belongs to the latter.

Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai returned to the second uncle's house, and Li Xueru told him about the dam as soon as possible, which also saved Li Weidong a lot of words.

After Li Shuquan heard this, he just nodded, indicating that he knew, and he didn't take it to heart.

Lijiazhuang is next to Chengou here, and the conflicts that have occurred over the years have not been once or twice, or even the most serious one, several guns are facing each other, and they almost exchanged fire.

Like right now, just breaking a few arms is even more nothing.

What's more, the other party still ran to Lijiazhuang to find trouble, even if there was no Li Zhankui, at that time, Li Weidong shouted, and many people from Lijiazhuang would stand up.

In a village, if your family is united, no one will dare to bully you.

Between the two villages, only when the whole village is united, can they not be afraid of being bullied by the neighboring villages.

Therefore, when it comes to disputes between villages, it is normal for the whole village to go up.

didn't wait long, Li Zhankui also came to the door.

His whole body looked the same as before, and he hadn't even wiped off a piece of skin.

"One man broke a right hand, the one called Hehe, and accidentally knocked out a few teeth."

After coming back, Li Zhankui said to Li Weidong.

After deciding to agree to Li Weidong, he knew very well where he should stand.

"I have to go back to the city today, and tomorrow you take the certificate and go to the farm to find me, do you know how to get there?"

Li Weidong pulled a stool for Li Zhankui and motioned for him to sit down.

"I can find it."

Li Zhankui didn't know the location of the prison, but that didn't mean he couldn't find it.

"Okay, that's it."

Li Weidong nodded.

"Well, I'll go talk to her first."

Li Zhankui didn't sit down either, he came over mainly to tell Li Weidong that the things on the dam had been done.

And now, with Li Weidong's promise, he wants to tell the woman immediately.

Li Weidong could even think that after he left, something must have happened in Li Zhankui's house, which made him make up his mind so quickly, and went to the dam to find him, only to happen to encounter that one.

However, these are all Li Zhankui's family affairs, and he doesn't want to interfere.

Everyone is only responsible for their own choices.

Not long after Li Zhankui left, Li Weidong saw that it was not too early, and there was still a way to go back to the city, so he said goodbye to his second uncle, and together with Zhou Xiaobai, he left with the two little guys who were reluctant to give up.

At the same time, he also told the second uncle about going to the city for the New Year, and Li Shuquan did not hesitate and agreed directly.

Obviously, he had planned for this before.

But Li Weidong was able to say it, and he asked on behalf of Zhang Xiuzhen, and Li Shuquan was still quite satisfied.

Because of the addition of Zhou Xiaobai, in fact, Li Weidong's return to the countryside this time was only half completed.

There was another thing that he temporarily suppressed.

Although it is Valentine's Day without a Valentine, it is a little late, but I still say happy to everyone.
