1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

After they carried the food over for the first time, they immediately started to clean up a corner of the cave.

They took the engineer shovels in the dark hole and worked hard to clean the wild boar manure on the ground.

Soon they had cleared a path, and then they went into the woods for wood and stones.

Use these two things to make a rack to store the grain.

The five of them worked together, and although it took a lot of effort, these problems were not difficult for them.

When the shelf was completed, Li Dajiang went up to test it himself and felt how stable it was. Only then did he feel at ease to place bags of grain on it.

Otherwise, more than a hundred bags of grain piled up would look like a small mountain, and the foundation would have to be solid.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the river, Li Weiguo was busy alone.

When everyone returned to the shore again, they were surprised to find that Li Weiguo had moved more than half of the food over.

Everyone exclaimed, "Weiguo, you are really good, how did you transport all this?"

Li Weiguo smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that he was restrained by not bringing all the food here at once.

This is no big deal for him, but he can't reveal his secret now.

He pointed to his rolled-up trouser legs and said, "Of course, I'll put a few bags up from this side, and then pick them up over there. After putting a few bags up, I'll go over to pick them up. Anyway, I've nothing to do here alone, so I'll just do it." After hearing this, several uncles looked at Li Weiguo with a smile, joked with him, and then continued to work carrying grain.

"Great! You're smart, young man. Keep working hard..."

"At this rate, maybe we can finish moving before dark!"

"Weiguo, when we come back next time, you must transport all the food!" Li Xinyan joked with Li Weiguo.

"no problem!"

Li Weiguo agreed generously, as he knew that his uncles were just joking.

Along the way, Li Dahe was carrying food and he missed the carrying poles in the village.

He thought that if they had a carrying pole, they could carry two at a time, which would be much more efficient.

But they came out early in the morning to avoid the crowds, so now it's just a thought.

When they returned to the shore for the second time, there was more food piled up.

This went back and forth, and by the third time, Li Weiguo had transferred all the food over.

At this time, he followed the crowd to the other side of the river and began to carry food.

Unlike others, Li Weiguo did not choose to carry only one bag of grain at a time.

He went to the dark cave to find a rope, tied the two bags of grain tightly together, and then passed a wooden stick through it. In this way, he could carry four bags of grain at a time.

When Li Dajiang and others saw Li Weiguo's method, their eyes lit up.

"Weiguo, you are smart, this is a good idea!"

Li Weiguo's method was recognized by everyone, but they also knew that they did not have as much strength as Li Weiguo.

However, they could use ropes to carry two bags of food at a time.

Even so, they were satisfied.

After all, the mountain road is not easy to walk on, so the less you walk, the better.

Also, they are under time pressure and have a heavy task to accomplish, so today they have to work overtime to transport all the food.

They asked Li Weiguo to find them ropes and wooden sticks. Several people followed Li Weiguo's method and used a wooden stick to lift two bags of grain.

Although it is not as fast as Li Weiguo's carrying four bags at a time, it has greatly improved their own carrying efficiency.

"Weiguo, this kid has a really good brain!" Several people couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Dajiang smiled and replied, "What do you know? Of course, studying is not in vain. Only by studying can you become smarter and gain more knowledge!"

No matter how difficult the family situation was over the years, he never let Li Weiguo give up studying because of this reason.

When Li Dahu heard this, he had the idea of ​​sending his child to school.

Li Weilan was unable to go to school because of his illness. Now that he can earn money, he naturally wants to send his two sons to school.

"Brother Dajiang, you are right. There is nothing wrong with studying. When I return to the village, I will send the two children to school!"

"Da Hu, you are right to think so!"

Li Dajiang patted Li Dahu's shoulder approvingly, and the few of them continued to carry the food.

Li Weiguo didn't know that his cleverness not only sped up the transportation of grain, but also inadvertently changed the fate of his two cousins.

After listening to Li Dajiang's words, Li Dahu had the idea of ​​letting his children go to school, thus changing the fate of his two sons.

With Li Weiguo's method, the speed of transporting grain was indeed much faster.

The grain that originally required more than twenty trips to transport can now be completed in just over ten.

During the process of transporting grain, they also took time to rest.

Everyone cooked a big pot of rice using the pot they found in the devil's cave.

Although there were no dishes, everyone still enjoyed the meal with relish.

After all the food was transported, they properly handled the caves on both sides.

On the other side of the wild boar cave where food was stored, they covered the entrance tightly with many branches to ensure that the wild boar could not get in.

As for the dark cave, they turned the vat upside down, swept away the footprints, and finally sealed the dark cave.

By the time the six of them returned to Lijia Village, it was already dark.

This is actually a good thing, as they don’t want others to know their whereabouts.

Li Dajiang and four others returned to the village chief's house, while Li Dahu went home.

He gave all the money he earned from fishing in the city over the past few days to Chen Suzhi.

Li Dahu's sudden return home was already a surprise to Chen Suzhi.

Now she was given so much money that she couldn't react for a while.

"Da Hu, how...how can there be so much money?"

"This is all the money I earned from fishing. Don't worry about where it came from. There is absolutely no problem. Don't save this money. Take some time to ask the school if they still accept students. Let Wei Qiang and Wei Bang go to school!"

"Really? Are you really going to let both sons go to school?" Chen Suzhi couldn't believe her ears at this moment.

"Yes, go to both. Only by going to school can you have a bright future!"

Li Dahu was firm in his attitude. He felt that only by letting his sons study could they become as capable as Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo had a great influence on Li Dahu, and completely changed Li Dahu's view on schooling.

Li Dahu didn't stay at home for long. He left the house and went straight to the village chief's house.

Li Dajiang has already told the village chief about the situation of the two cave entrances in detail.

After hearing this, the village chief pondered for a moment, then said: "We'll deal with these things later. Now it's okay as long as the food is hidden. As for the main thing, I will take the time to work with Li Xinyan to properly handle the food and seal the entrance to the cave to prevent it from being ruined by rats or something. As for the dark cave, we won't deal with it this year. I'll report it when the time is right." Everyone nodded in agreement.

After a busy day, they prepared to leave Lijia Village after having dinner at the village chief's house.

On the way, Li Weiguo quietly left for half an hour just like last time.

He fulfilled his promise and went to the black market to make a deal with the black market boss.

Now that my three uncles have joined the purchasing department, the black market supply channel has become particularly important.

Especially next year and the year after, supplies will be even more scarce, and Li Weiguo must maintain the black market route well.
