Chapter 237 Prestige
Li Changle directly picked up the double-barreled shotgun, touched the shiny butt, and then touched the dark barrel. He felt that it was much more majestic than the one owned by the captain of the ship. "It looks like a good thing at first glance."
Qian Acong glanced at him proudly, "Can you two shoot?"
Chen Yongwei shook his head, "I only know how to play airsoft, the kind that I set up a stall in town to play balloons."
"I can. My eldest brother used to be a militiaman in the village. When they were shooting targets, I often followed them." Li Changle said, picking up the gun and making an aiming gesture.
"I'll load the bullets, you give it a try." Qian Acong took out two bullets from his pocket, took the gun, opened the hinge, loaded the bullets, and handed the gun to him.
Li Changle took over the memory, put the gun on his shoulder, aimed at a large wooden stake in the vegetable field, and pulled the trigger.
There was only a "bang~" gunshot, and the big wooden pile in the distance shook.
Chen Yongwei ran to the big wooden pile and saw that all the wood chips on it had been knocked down, leaving many holes. "If this was a human being, there would definitely be a bloody hole."
Qian Acong said with a smile: "When hunting, if you aim and fire twice, you can kill a black bear."
Li Changle rubbed his aching shoulders, raised the gun and said to him: "Brother Qian, this is the one. How much it costs, just tell me how much it costs."
Qian Acong thought for a moment and said, "Two hundred and six."
"Okay!" Li Changle nodded cheerfully, took out a wad of banknotes from his bag, counted two hundred and six and handed them to him, "You count."
Qian Acong took it and counted it, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Just wait, I will get you a box of bullets."
Li Changle was not polite, "Thank you, Brother Qian. Find me an old sack."
"Okay!" Qian Acong readily agreed.
Chen Yongwei looked at the gun and felt itchy, "Brother, show me."
Li Changle smiled and handed the gun to him, "This thing is similar to playing balloons in the town. Just aim and shoot."
Chen Yongwei carried the gun and looked at him with excitement, "It's so majestic. It's much heavier than the air guns in town."
"Hunters are definitely different from those who shoot balloons." Li Changle looked at his happy expression and felt that as long as he was a man, no matter young or old, there was no one who didn't like to use swords and guns.
After a while, Qian Acong came out with a sack and said, "I've packed the bullets in it. When you use them up, you can go to Tuxiaqiao Department Store and have a look. They used to sell them there."
"Okay!" Li Changle put the full box of bullets into his shoulder bag. "Brother Qian, I'm still busy at home, so I'll go back first. I'll go back to Afa's place and talk to him. If he wants it, I'll go back."
Sora comes to find you."
Ge Changfu said that he would make the decision on his own for a hundred yuan. He thought that if he wanted to buy a native gun, he should be able to buy it. But he didn't know if Ge Changfu would be willing to part with it?
Qian Acong smiled and said: "There should be no such village. If you want to buy one, you can only help him find a gun."
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to him." Li Changle wrapped the gun in a sack, took the hemp rope he handed and tied it on the bicycle, "Brother Qian, come to my house to play when you have time."
Qian Acong smiled and nodded, "Come over and play when you have time, and I'll take you hunting in the mountains!"
"Okay!" Li Changle pushed the bicycle and walked out, "You can come to our place when you have time, and I will take you to the sea to go fishing."
After hearing this, Qian Acong became interested and said, "When the late rice is harvested, I will definitely go out to sea with you."
Li Changle patted his shoulder and said, "I'll wait for you at home."
…
When the two of them went down the mountain to the entrance of the village, the sun was almost setting. They separated at the intersection, Chen Yongwei went to Nanshan, and Li Changle returned to his old house.
When I got home, I saw Li's mother drying fish, so I greeted her and came into the house with a gun, and put the remaining money in their house.
"Ale," Mother Li also walked in, "Did you buy anything? How much did it cost?"
"I bought it, it cost more than two hundred." Li Changle took out the gun from the sack, "Look, it's so majestic!"
"Prestige is quite impressive, but it's too expensive!" Mother Li looked distressed, then thought about it and said, "Whatever, no matter how expensive it is, your safety is not important."
"Don't worry, your son is very lucky. I bought this just in case."
"That's right, it's not that easy to come across." Mother Li said and added, "The cuttlefish, eel and catfish are almost dry. Shui Qing said that he is free the day after tomorrow. How about you send him there the day after tomorrow?"
"
"Okay!" Li Changle put the gun on the roof of the tent and pedaled to Nanshan.
With more people working faster, the foundation of the new house was laid in just one day, and the craftsmen had already started laying stone walls.
These days, when building a house, you first dig the foundation, then fill it with gravel, lay two layers of strips, then build a stone wall more than one meter high, and then build the brick wall.
The rough worker Alin smiled and said: "Ale, what delicious food did your family cook today? It made our mouths water."
Another one took it and said: "It started stewing in the afternoon, and there is a strong smell of meat."
Li Changle sniffed, and the aroma of braised pig's trotters, mixed with the aroma of stewed radish, drifted over from the stone room at the back.
He ate a few steamed buns at noon. He swallowed involuntarily and his stomach growled.
"Pork lungs stewed with radish, and a big pig's hoof, I don't know about the fish. Uncle Alin, work harder, we'll be done in more than an hour, the old wine is ready."
"Don't worry, as long as there is no typhoon, I will let you move into a new house in March."
"Then I'll wait."
After that, Li Changle walked around to the stone house at the back and went to the room headed by Xican. He saw Sister Li chopping vegetables in the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, is there anything to eat? My stomach is growling with hunger."
"There are steamed buns in the rice cooker, go and get them yourself." Sister-in-law Li said with a smile, "Ah Wei also said he was hungry when he came back. Didn't you guys eat on the mountain?"
"I ate three steamed buns on the way and I have already finished digesting them."
Li Changle ate too quickly and stretched his neck due to choking.
"Slow down, no one is trying to rob you." Mrs. Li hurriedly scooped a bowl of rice soup for him, "Have you bought anything?"
Li Changle nodded, "I bought it, where are my brother and the others?"
"The clay is not enough. They were digging clay from the mountain today, and Awei also helped."
After eating a steamed bun and a bowl of rice soup, Li Changle felt much better. He put down the bowl and went to the next door. When he opened the door, he saw that Zhou Ruonan had already tidied up the room.
A canopy bed, a small wooden bed, a chest, and an Eight Immortals table were all the furniture in their home.
Li Changle looked at the new house opposite and felt that there were too many places to spend money. It was really impossible to make money without refueling.
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
He sighed, went out, closed the door, and walked towards the hillside next to the house.
As soon as I arrived at Banpo, I saw Brother Li and Chen Yongwei coming down with a dump truck and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"I saw that my brother-in-law and the others were quite fast. I thought it would take two days to dig the foundation."
"Don't you think about how many people are working? There are only four masons in one house, and four rough workers. With us, there are more than ten strong laborers, pickaxes, and hoes. Can't it be faster?"
Chen Yongwei smiled and said: "It's easy to work when there are many people."
Li Changle helped pull the dump truck to the construction site, dumped the yellow mud, and followed the two of them up the mountain.
Father Li and Brother Li were sweating profusely from working on the mountain. The clay they dug up was piled up in a big pile. He helped them work on the mountain for more than an hour, and then the sky darkened.
On the last trip, the two men each picked up two baskets of clay and went down the mountain. When they saw Zhang Dejin and the craftsmen working rough, they had already packed up their tools and were getting ready to eat.
Mother Li and Grandma Chen also came to Nanshan, and Zhou Ruonan and the children also came back. Several children were curiously running around in the back rooms.
Zhang Dejin pulled Li Xiaotao and said, "In a few months, there will be a new building to live in. Are you happy?"
"It's not healed. It's too late to be happy when it's healed."
Li Xiaomei took it and said, "My brother said everything is good here, except that you have to walk a long way to watch TV, which made him unable to watch tonight's TV series."
"No matter how far you are watching TV, you have to run to watch it. Why are you not so active in studying?" Brother Li pulled Li Xiaotao and knocked him, "Have you finished your homework?"
Li Xiaotao rubbed his head and said, "It's done. If you don't believe me, ask Third Aunt."
"It's time to eat." Mother Li and Grandma Chen came out with food.
Braised pig's trotters, stir-fried pork with cowpeas, braised fat intestines with radish, stewed pork lungs with radish, pan-fried fish browned on both sides, and cold jellyfish head.
The master who was working was very happy when he saw how polite they were. Everyone exchanged a few words and then sat down around the table.
After Zhang Dejin and the craftsmen had dinner, it was getting dark. A dozen people hurriedly said goodbye and pedaled away.
Father Li took a few steps away, then returned home and said to Li Changle and others: "Lao Jin said that today, none of the fishing boats from our village that went out to sea were robbed. I don't know if there are any from other villages."
"Amitabha!" Grandma Chen bowed to the Lord's Hall, "It's almost the end of the year. I ask Bodhisattva to take away all these evil people who are sneaking around, so that everyone can make money in peace and celebrate the New Year."
Li Changle smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are ready with machetes, harpoons and guns. Even if we encounter one, we still don't know who will grab who!"
"That's right." Brother Li looked at Father Li, who had lost a lot of weight. "We will guard the construction site here tonight. You and Aniang should go back early and rest."
Father Li nodded in agreement, "Should I bring you the fishing gear tomorrow morning, or should you go and pull it over?"
Li Changle stood up and said, "I'm going to Afa's place. I'll bring him over when I get back."
After the group came out of Nanshan, Li Changle went straight to Gechang to make a fortune and told him about buying a gun.
When Ge Changfa heard that he spent more than two hundred, he looked at him in surprise, "Damn it, a gun that has been used for several years is sold for more than two hundred, how can you be willing to give it up?"
"The four of us bought it together. If we spread it out, it wouldn't cost much for each of us."
"It's better for you all to work together." Ge Changfa said and sighed, "My brother is very stingy. He wouldn't even part with a hundred dollars, let alone more than two hundred.
Plus today is safe and sound, he is even more reluctant to take out the money to buy a gun!"
Li Changle couldn't talk about the matters between their brothers, so he patted him on the shoulder, "I told Brother Qian that if you want to buy it, you should take the time to go there."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
