After dinner.

Li Hongbing and Sanpao sat under the old oak tree, admiring the sunset.

The well-fed wolf and dog pups went to the vegetable garden together to look for earthworms and scale insects that had been dug out of the ground, and learned hunting skills.

Silly baby took the initiative to clear the table, wash pots and dishes, and do all the work before and after.

Sanpao burped, looked at the busy silly boy, and praised, "He is a hard-working person, but his appetite is a bit big, and his appearance is a bit fierce, otherwise people would often come to him to knock on him."

A strong smell of eggs and bacon that had been fermented by gastric acid erupted from Sanpao's mouth, which made Li Hongbing want to shoot this thing away.

You have the nerve to say that silly boy has a big appetite, but you don’t know what to do, so a big bowl of bacon was eaten by the dog!

Seeing that Li Hongbing didn't answer, Sanpao wiped the grease from his big mouth and asked Bagua.

"Brother Hongbing, you are really ready to live in Caogou Village forever."

"Well! Don't bother with them!" Of course Li Hongbing understood why Sanpao asked this matter. He was just waiting for him to return to the county town and wanted to get the wolf and dog pups home.

At this time.

Erhuang, the most lively of the little ones, held a chopstick-long earthworm in his mouth and placed it in front of Li Hongbing to claim credit. His little tail swayed happily from side to side like a windshield wiper.

Li Hongbing picked up the earthworm and threw it away.

When the wolf-dog pups saw the earthworm flying away, they thought their master was playing with them, so they started fighting over each other and ran towards the direction where the earthworm landed.

The three-bubble eyes seemed to have grown on them, and Li Hongbing didn't feel embarrassed when he discovered his little thoughts. Instead, he shouted as if he had been wronged.

"Look what you said, I don't want to worry about wronging them because I have everything at home. By the way, I will go back to the town tomorrow morning. There is a big market in the town. If you want to buy something, I will bring it to you."

Go to the market!

Suddenly, Li Hongbing's eyes lit up. He hadn't heard this name for a long time. When he was a child, he and his grandfather often went to the market. There were huge crowds of people, and the streets were full of delicious and fun things.

Li Hongbing has not been to a big market in more than 20 years and must go tomorrow.

Moreover, tomorrow is Saturday. Before leaving Mingzhu, I made an appointment with my ex-wife to video chat with my daughter every Saturday.

……

"Sanpao, I want to ask you something."

"Brother, if you have something to say, you can tell me."

Li Hongbing took out a cigarette and handed it out, "Is there any way to connect the village to the Internet? I can't get a signal even when I call home."

The location of Caogou Village is too remote. It is more than 40 miles away from the nearest village Qilipu and more than 100 miles away from the nearest Songbai Town. The distance mentioned here is a straight line distance, and the actual distance is even greater than this number.

You can only use light bulbs to power on. Not to mention large household appliances, if you turn on one more light, they will trip, let alone such a luxury as connecting to the Internet. Caogou Village seems to have been forgotten by civilization.

The lack of information has caused Caogou Village to lose contact with the outside world, causing a large number of villagers to leave their hometown with their families and go to strange places to work hard.

If you can make money and support your family, who would leave the land where you were born and raised?

Therefore, if Li Hongbing wants to change this situation, he must first connect Caogou Village with the outside world.

Sanpao was overjoyed at first, then his face fell, and he took the cigarette and said, "To be honest, Caogou Village is not within the scope of the network plan. Unless it raises its own funds, there is no chance. There is also the problem of electricity, even if it is given to the village

When installing a base station, it can’t be powered even with this voltage!”

It is understandable that it is not within the scope of the network connection plan. After all, a village with only more than 30 households has no value in connecting to the network and electricity.

Li Hongbing refused to give up, "How much money is needed to install a base station and power on?"

"Brother, are you serious?" Sanpao put away his joking expression, considered for a while, and stretched out his right hand, "The base station is easy to say, if you want to lay a wire from Qili, at least this number."

500,000!

This is not a small sum. After the divorce, the car and savings were all given to his ex-wife, and the house was left to his daughter.

I got crazy and bought out my pension insurance in one lump sum. Now I only have less than 100,000 left in my pocket.

Forget it!

Take it easy for now.

Li Hongbing changed the topic and chatted with Sanpao, while Silly Boy sat aside in a daze.

Until the moon reaches the branches.

Sanpao stood up and said goodbye. He was staying at Da Kui's house temporarily. If he went back late, he was afraid of affecting the old man's rest.

Seeing that Sanpao was about to leave, Shawa followed suit.

"Where are you going?" Li Hongbing grabbed Shawa's arm.

"Master, silly boy... go home, you've finished your work, there's no more work to do." Silly boy pointed to the vegetable garden in a naive manner.

"Go back and sleep in the pig pen! You are not allowed to leave. From now on, you will live here with me. If you have a stutter, you will not be hungry." Li Hongbing had a straight face, and the frightened silly boy shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.

I just learned from Sanpao that Shawa’s house collapsed long ago and the child has been living in a livestock pen.

The livestock pen is not a place for people to live.

When Sanpao heard Li Hongbing's words, she knew that Li Hongbing was going to take in the silly baby, and silently gave a thumbs up in her heart, "Brother, I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

Sending Sanpao away.

Li Hongbing took out the bedding from the cabinet and spread it on the bed in the side room. After finishing it, he saw the silly baby standing at the door, looking like a child who made a mistake, and said deliberately.

"I boiled a pot of hot water in the kitchen and went to take a shower. Don't dirty the quilt!"

"Oh!"

Silly boy's eyes shone with joy, he ran to the well and picked up a bucket of cold well water, and without waiting for Li Hongbing to stop him, he poured it from head to toe.

Bastard!

The water in this well can be close to zero.

Li Hongbing shouted, "There is hot water, be careful of catching a cold."

Whoops!

Another bucket of well water was poured down from the head, and Silly Boy showed a simple and honest smile, "Master, Silly Baby is not cold, but it is snowing and the patio water is warm."

Li Hongbing shook his head as he watched the well water slide down Silhawa's lumpy body.

When you are young, you don’t know how valuable your body is; when you are old, you look at the sky and shed tears.

......

The next morning, it was bright and clear.

A vast white mist floats on the meadow, like a thin veil covering the beautiful face.

The churning sound of a motorcycle broke the tranquility of the meadow. The iron frames on both sides of the motorcycle seat were packed full of goods, tied tightly with oilcloth, and stopped in front of the old house to yell.

"Brother, get ready to leave!"

Crunch!

The courtyard door slowly opened. Li Hongbing was wearing a faded camouflage uniform, gray cloth pants, a pair of yellow rubber shoes on his feet, and a straw hat on his head.

Sanpao looked up and down and said with a smile, "Brother, you look like a rural person dressed like this."

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"

Li Hongbing rolled his eyes, turned to Silly Boy and the wolf pups and said, "You guys stay at home and I will buy you delicious food when I come back."

After saying that, he got on the motorcycle and patted Sanpao on the shoulder.

Chu tu tu tu!

The exhaust pipe of the motorcycle emits a breathless roar as it speeds along the mountain road.

Looking at the direction in which Li Hongbing disappeared, Shawa closed the courtyard door, looked around blankly, and finally picked up the shovel and continued to clean up the front yard. Although drinking porridge in the morning did not fill his stomach, the rules of eating and working cannot be changed.

Woohoo!

When the four wolf pups saw that their owner was not with them, they started to fight with each other again after being lost for a while.
Chapter completed!
