Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Li Long led his men into the Liang family's home. Liang Donglou and Chen Xiuzhu were both waiting in the yard. Li Long hurriedly called out:
"Uncle Liang, why don't you stay in the house? It's so cold outside."

"You guys are making such a big scene. If I stay in the house, I'll be rude to my guests." Liang Donglou said with a smile, "This is..."

"This is my second brother Anguo, this is my brother-in-law, Chen Xingbang, and these are our two nephews, Junfeng and Junshan."

After Li Long finished his introduction, before he could tell his second brother Li Anguo, Li Anguo and his friends took the lead in greeting him:

"Hello, Uncle Liang, hello, Auntie!"

"Hello, Grandpa Liang, hello, Grandma!"

Liang Donglou and Chen Xiuzhu were also very happy, but looking at the things on the carriage, Liang Donglou complained:

"Just come, why bring so many things?"

"These things were bought by my second brother, brother-in-law and nephews. It's none of my business." Li Long said with a smile, "I brought this wild boar here. You know I raise quite a few wild boars. If the purchasing station doesn't accept them, I'll have to eat them at home. The wild boars raised here are not as fat as domestic pigs, but they taste amazing."

"Uncle Liang, this is our first time here, it would be impolite if we don't bring anything," Li Anguo said with a smile, "Besides, I heard from Xiaolong on the way that my eldest brother's family is living so well over there, Uncle Liang, Auntie, you have helped a lot, isn't it right for us young people to bring some things over here."

After some polite conversation, Li Long and his companions moved their things into the house. Liang Donglou said to Liang Wenyu:
"Go and call your second sister and second brother-in-law. Xiaolong and the others are having dinner here today, so your second brother-in-law must come over to keep them company. Your second sister can come and help your mother cook."

"Okay." Liang Wenyu was very happy. It was rare for so many people to come to his house at once, and they were obviously there to support him, which made him feel quite proud.

Although it was a leverage, didn't Li Anguo just say that they were grateful for Dad's help to the Li family over the years? They were grateful. Now that I think about it, I was really short-sighted when I complained that Dad paid too much attention to my elder sister.

When Liang Wenyu left the yard, he saw many people still gathered outside the gate, and some were standing on the road looking inside. He shouted unhappily:

"Let's go, it's just relatives coming, what's there to see?"

"Hehe, third brother, do you think anyone would believe what you say? Such a large group of people came, why haven't I heard that your family has such relatives before?" A gangster put his hands in his sleeves, sniffed and joked.

"What? Who said we can't have such relatives? My eldest brother-in-law's brother and nephew, aren't they relatives? They came to see my father, it's normal for the younger generation to visit the elders, right? Besides, they live in the village below, so they can come whenever they want. Let's go, go home and clean the snow at home, you are so lazy..."

Liang Wenyu's words were quite offensive, but no one refuted them. The Liang family was particular about family traditions, and some details were indeed better than those of other families. It snowed, and not only did they clean up the snow in their yard, but they also cleaned up the snow on the roadside outside the door. It was good enough for other families to clean up the snow in their yards, and it was likely that few people would care about the snow on the road.

The household contract responsibility system has just been implemented, and we are still in the exploratory stage from top to bottom. Some rules have not yet been established. We cannot ask for too much while it is growing wildly.

Liang Wenyu was nicknamed Liang the Shorty by the villagers because he was not very tall, about 1.65 meters, and he seemed to have grown a little in the past six months. He was short before, and he thought that his father gave money and things to his elder and second sisters, so he still had some complaints about Li Long.

Of course, his thoughts have changed over the past year. After the land occupation incident, fewer people in the village called him Liang the Shorty, and instead began to call him Liang Lao San, the third child in the family. In the past, Liang Yuemei, the eldest sister, had little presence in the village, but now it seems that it is the eldest sister and her husband who have helped him increase his influence.

Before he reached his second sister's house, the village director Liu Ziqiang stopped him.

"Director, what are you doing..." Liang Wenyu asked deliberately. He naturally knew what the director was doing, but he knew it all but didn't say it.

"I heard that there were guests at your house?" Liu Ziqiang asked.

"Well, my eldest brother-in-law's younger brother, brother-in-law, and two nephews come over and see my dad."

"I heard that several men came. Are they all your relatives?"

"Yes, I came from my hometown to ask my eldest brother-in-law for help to make some money." Liang Wenyu told the truth, "You also know that life is not easy in my hometown. My eldest brother-in-law runs a pig farm, and his brother Xiaolong has a status in the supply and marketing cooperative over there, so it's easy for him to find some work."

"Then why are you here?" Blind Liu was still a little confused.

Liang Wenyu was unhappy to hear this:

"They came to visit my dad. My eldest sister's family had a hard time in the past two years, and my dad helped them a lot. Now that their lives are better, they know how to be grateful, so they came to visit my dad. This time they brought half a pig... I won't say more, I have to go call my second brother-in-law..."

"Don't go, don't go!" Blind Liu hurriedly stopped him and asked:
"I haven't finished asking. Are these relatives of yours just going to stay for a while and then leave?"

"Of course, there's no room for them to live in my house," said Liang Wenyu.

"Oh, I understand then." Blind Liu nodded.

"But they live with my eldest brother-in-law, not far from here. My eldest brother-in-law's brother just said that he would come over often if he had nothing to do. It's only three or five miles away, so if there's anything, just let them know."

Blind Liu became nervous. Is he trying to cause trouble?
"My father said that my family doesn't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either." Liang Wenyu left a message and went to find Du Haihua. Blind Liu thought about it and felt that he was still worried, so he went to the Ma family to "remind" the four brothers of the Ma family.

The Ma family was defeated in the last incident, and they were definitely not convinced. But if they wanted to take revenge, they had to have a reason. In the winter, everyone was preparing for the winter, so they didn't have time to take care of it. Now that they have some free time, the family still wants to discuss it from time to time. This time, when Blind Liu came over and talked about it, they were also a little confused.

"He has a large family? I have a large family too!" The second son of the Ma family was obviously not convinced. "If we really fight, who will beat whom?"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't cause trouble." Blind Liu was nothing in front of Li Jianguo, but speaking to the brothers of the Ma family still felt a bit oppressive:
"If you have the guts, come openly. If you can get hold of something on the Liang family, you can do whatever you want. If you do it covertly, and something really happens to the Liang family, they'll blame you. Don't blame me for not warning you then. They have connections up there."

Blind Liu didn't mean to remind the Ma family out of kindness. He was mainly worried that if something went wrong, he would have to clean up the mess in the end. With the help of a strong supporter, the Liang family no longer had any shortcomings in terms of military strength.

Besides, the Liang family has a good family tradition. Although people are selfish, when the fighting power of both sides is equal, everyone will either watch the fun or definitely support the Liang family.

After all, even a bad person would like to be a neighbor of a good person.

Liang Wenyu arrived at Du Haihua's house. Du Haihua and his wife were clearing snow in the yard. After hearing what he said, they put down their tools and went to Liang's house.

It's a good thing, so of course I have to participate.

After Liang Wenyu left, Liang Donglou brought the person into the house, sat down, and began to ask about the situation.

Liang Donglou also came from his hometown. He hadn't been back for so many years and still missed his hometown. The last time he had dinner with Li Qingxia, he did talk a little, but that was obviously not enough. So after asking Li Anguo about their basic situation, he began to ask about the situation in his hometown.

Li Long couldn't get a word in, and Li Anguo and the other three talked one after another, and they basically filled in the gaps that Liang Donglou wanted to know. Later, Chen Xiuzhu asked the same question. After all, the information that the four people knew was combined, and at least they could get a general idea.

This made Liang Donglou and Chen Xiuzhu very happy, but they also felt a little sad after hearing it.

There are many people in my hometown, but little land, so resources are relatively scarce, so life is naturally not very good.

"When the harvest is small and there is a disaster, we can go down to the river to find something to eat. The mountains and fields over there are not like here, where you can get a lot of firewood just by scavenging. Uncle Liang, you should know that many of the mountains and fields over there are bare, with no firewood. If you want to eat something raw, it's okay, but if you want to cook it, it's hard to deal with."

Chen Xingbang had really gone hungry, and he spoke sincerely:

"You know what? When I came here, I saw firewood everywhere that no one had picked up. I thought, that guy... the people here are really generous! They didn't even take all these things home. It wasn't until I got to my eldest brother's place that I realized there were so many of these things here..."

"Me too. No wonder my eldest brother came to Northern Xinjiang twice. Life here is so easy." Li Anguo added, "Junshan and Junfeng don't know, but Xingbang and I know it very well. Life in our hometown was really hard during those years."

"It's not easy now." Li Junfeng added, "A family only has so much land. Uncle Xiaolong said that each person here has five mu. My family doesn't have that much. Neither of our families have that much! What we grow has to be paid as public grain and the levy... Alas."

Liang Donglou and Chen Xiuzhu looked at each other and just sighed.

"It's really good here. Uncle Xiaolong and I have made a lot of money in less than a month." Li Junshan is optimistic. "I will send some money home to improve my life."

"Well, Xiaolong is good." Liang Donglou nodded, "He has a quick mind and ideas. It's a good thing that he can help his family get rich together."

Li Long blushed, but was also quite proud.

When Du Haihua and his friends came over, the room became even more lively. Liang Donglou and his friends basically stopped participating in the discussion and just listened. Liang Wenyu, Du Haihua and their friends chatted about all sorts of things, while Chen Xiuzhu and Liang Xingmei went to cook together.

"They took so many things!" Liang Xingmei was a little surprised when she saw the things in the kitchen.

"Yes, everyone brought something. Xiaolong brought half a piece of meat, you can chop half of it and take it back later. Take some of these snacks back for the kids." Chen Xiuzhu pointed and said, "Well, we have to make a good meal today, and we have to use the things they brought..."

"If they are showing respect to you, then use it." Liang Xingmei was very open-minded. "My elder sister and brother-in-law are living well, so they are showing respect to you in return. You should be happy, mother."

"We should be happy. They are not here just to take a look..." Chen Xiuzhu nodded.

"I heard from Wen Yu that he met the captain halfway and said something to him - saying that my relatives live in the team below and will come over in half an hour if there is anything. When we came here just now, we saw the captain coming out of the Ma family. I guess he went to give them a heads up."

"Well, this is still a good thing. It's better not to cause any trouble over there. Can't we just live a good life?"

"Ugh……"

The news that a group of strong relatives came to the Liang family spread throughout the village. (End of this chapter)
