Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 379 Who can be blamed for this?
Not long after, before Li Guoqiang returned home, Xu Yuliang, along with Sun Maocai, Ma Changshun, Ma Chunmei, Xu Guanglu, Xu Yu'an, Xu Guangfu and others, chased after him, as if they were afraid that Li Guoqiang would suddenly run away.

Seeing this situation, Li Guoqiang could only speed up his pace.

Soon, the sound of their footsteps attracted the attention of Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani, two sisters who were feeding red deer in the yard. They quickly turned their heads and shouted towards the house:

"Mom, grandma, please come out quickly, Brother Qiangzi is back!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuping and Qu Yinfeng, mother and daughter, immediately dropped the work in their hands and hurried out of the house with a look of surprise on their faces.

Then, they saw Li Guoqiang, as well as Xu Yuliang and others following behind Li Guoqiang, and their brows instantly frowned.

Although they no longer felt sorry for losing their jobs at the apiary after being comforted by Li Guoqiang, it did not mean that they did not have any resentment in their hearts.

Now that something has happened at the apiary, the villagers are thinking of asking Li Guoqiang to clean up the mess. How could such a good thing happen in this world?

Just when they were thinking about whether they should persuade Li Guoqiang not to agree to help so easily, Li Guoqiang had already walked into his house and put his things in the outer room.

Then, without waiting for Xu Yuliang and others to urge him, he took the initiative to say, "Let's go! Let's go to the bee farm first to see what the specific situation is."

"Got it!"

When Xu Yuliang heard what Li Guoqiang said, he was delighted, and then nodded quickly and agreed.

In fact, he also knew that it was not quite right to let Li Guoqiang clean up the mess now, so he was always worried that Li Guoqiang would shirk his responsibility.

However, he did not expect that Li Guoqiang agreed to help solve the problem of the apiary without saying anything.

This made him feel a little respect for Li Guoqiang.

Sun Maocai, Ma Changshun and others were surprised and felt a little ashamed when they saw Li Guoqiang's performance.

Originally, they thought that if Li Guoqiang was unwilling to help, they would use the interests of their fellow villagers to play the emotional card with Li Guoqiang.

As a result, Li Guoqiang did not give them any chance to perform.

The main reason why he did this was because he knew that this matter could not be pushed aside. If he really pushed it aside, he would be accused of being selfish.

So, in order to improve his reputation, he simply took the initiative.

What's more, it will be up to him to decide whether the problem of the apiary can be solved or whether it should be solved.

As long as there is nothing wrong with his attitude, who can dare to blame him for being selfish?

In short, the initiative is now in his hands, and it depends on what kind of sincerity the Jinshanbao Brigade can show.

"that."

Seeing that Li Guoqiang had been silent, Xu Yuliang was a little worried that Li Guoqiang might be upset, so he hurriedly said, "Qiangzi, we held a village meeting yesterday, and at the meeting we voted and approved an appointment, deciding to hand over the management of our brigade's bee farm to you.

That is to say, from now on, you have the final say on all matters concerning the apiary."

"Oh?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then asked with some interest: "What if I replace all the workers in the bee farm? Can the brigade guarantee that the villagers will have no objections?"

"this."

When Xu Yuliang heard Li Guoqiang ask this, he was suddenly speechless.

In fact, it means that from now on, Li Guoqiang has the final say on all matters concerning the apiary, but in this world, nothing is that simple!
Even the elderly cannot make decisions on many matters by themselves.

Moreover, as the saying goes, what is the world? It is the ways of the world.

Li Guoqiang naturally understood this truth.

The reason why he asked this was that he wanted to tell Xu Yuliang not to think that giving him this right was a great benefit.

In fact, there is so much trouble involved!

Soon, they arrived at the first apiary.

When Ma Guifang saw Li Guoqiang, she was overjoyed, and hurried forward, holding Li Guoqiang's arm, and said with joy on her face: "Qiangzi, you're finally back!"

After saying that, she looked at Li Guoqiang as if he was her savior. If she hadn't had a bit of rationality left in her, she might have lost control of her urge to give Li Guoqiang a big kiss on that handsome and charming face.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then nodded and said, "Sister-in-law Guifang, please take me to see those bees first!"

"Okay, okay!"

When Ma Guifang heard that Li Guoqiang was going to see the bees as soon as he came back, she immediately felt relieved and nodded quickly to agree.

As she spoke, she pulled Li Guoqiang towards the beekeeping area.

Xu Yuliang, Sun Maocai and others naturally followed closely behind.

Then, after a while, the situation in the beekeeping area appeared in front of everyone.

Li Guoqiang looked at the beehives, the scattered bees, and some dead bees on the ground, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Yuliang noticed the change in Li Guoqiang's expression, and his heart suddenly tightened. Then he hurriedly asked: "Qiangzi, what did you see?"

"Brother Yuliang!"

Li Guoqiang turned his head and glanced at Xu Yuliang, then said with some dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you tell me before that the situation here is so serious? If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to come here!

Look for yourself, the bees are almost all dead!"

"that."

When Xu Yuliang heard this, he immediately said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I just don't know how to say it. Besides, the situation of the first apiary is indeed quite serious, but there is still the second apiary!
The situation over there is much better than here, why don't you go over there and take a look first?"

"Okay!" Li Guoqiang didn't continue to rage after hearing what Xu Yuliang said. Instead, he nodded and agreed, "Then let's go over there and see if there's any need for treatment!"

After saying that, he didn't care what Xu Yuliang, Sun Maocai and others thought. He immediately turned around and walked out of the first apiary and headed towards the second apiary.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuliang, Sun Maocai and others looked at each other, and then saw a hint of heartache and regret in each other's eyes.

Because they knew that what Li Guoqiang had just said meant that the First Bee Farm was completely hopeless.

Although they had already known this would be the outcome, when things really developed to this point, they still couldn't help feeling heartache and regret.

You know, this No. 1 apiary can bring hundreds of dollars of income to each of their households every year. Now it is gone just like that. No matter who it is, it will be unacceptable.

But who can blame this?
They can only blame themselves for being too greedy, too short-sighted, and too complacent, and completely forgetting who brought them this apiary.

If they were able to remain somewhat stable and not become too devastated, then workers like Ma Guifang and others at the First Bee Farm were really devastated after seeing Li Guoqiang leave like that.

Because if this happens, not only will they no longer be able to receive dividends from the First Bee Farm, but they will also lose their jobs at the bee farm.

Especially the two people who replaced Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping and came to work in the First Bee Farm felt somewhat regretful.

If they had known this would happen, they would have given up the job at the apiary!

The result is now that not only did he not gain much benefit, but he also had to incur the hatred of Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and Li Guoqiang.

Even if Li Guoqiang could rescue the bees in the second apiary and then slowly rebuild the first apiary, it would have nothing to do with them anymore.

Just as they were thinking about whether they should take something to Qu Yinfeng's home to apologize and see if they could repair their relationship, Li Guoqiang also brought Xu Yuliang and others to the second apiary.

Li Xiuqin and other bee farm workers also came forward at the first opportunity.

Li Xiuqin even hugged Li Guoqiang's arm and said expectantly, "Qiangzi, I'm glad you're back. Please help me find out what happened to these bees."

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang glanced at Li Xiuqin, then nodded and said calmly, "Take me to see what's going on first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm feeling suddenly came over him. Under the nervous gaze of Xu Yuliang and others, Li Xiuqin dragged Li Guoqiang towards the beekeeping area.

Soon, Li Guoqiang saw the sparse bees in the beekeeping area and the dead bees scattered on the ground, and then he immediately determined that the situation here was exactly the same as that in the first apiary.

The only difference is that the time when diseases and insect pests occurred here was one or two days later.

Otherwise, this place will be like the first apiary and will be worthless to save.

"How's it going?"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang had remained silent, Xu Yuliang endured it for a while, but finally couldn't help but move forward and asked, "Can the bees here be saved?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuqin's eyes immediately stared at Li Guoqiang's mouth, fearing that she would hear a negative answer from Li Guoqiang.

Fortunately, Li Guoqiang was not so cruel. He quickly nodded and said, "The situation here is not that serious. Let me give it a try first!"

After saying that, he walked to the house where the bee farm workers lived and worked, found some spare medicines that the team had previously asked to buy from the commune’s agricultural technology station, added some Chinese herbal medicines, and prepared buckets of medicinal solutions. He then asked Li Xiuqin and others to take them to the beekeeping area for spraying.

Then, he took out some medicine, mixed it with honey to make some potion, and asked Li Xiuqin and others to put it in the beehive for feeding.

After finishing all these tasks, he took Li Xiuqin and others to clean up all the dead bees in the beekeeping area and carried out a deep disinfection.

Xu Yuliang and others were also not idle during this period, and were helping out with things within their abilities.

We were busy until after 10 o'clock in the morning, and only then did we consider the rescue work temporarily completed.

"Hadron!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang didn't give him any new tasks, Xu Yuliang hurried over and asked, "Is that all?"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded and replied softly, "For the time being, all possible methods have been used. Now it depends on whether these bees can survive.

If it can, then this apiary can be preserved. If not, we can only wait until next year to go into the mountains to dig out the beehives and start all over again.”

After hearing these words, Xu Yuliang, Sun Maocai and others all looked hopefully at the bees flying around in the beekeeping area.

Li Xiuzhi and other workers at the apiary were staring at the ground that had just been cleaned, praying silently that no more bees would lose the ability to fly and fall to their deaths.

Seeing them like this, Li Guoqiang showed no emotion on the surface, but he felt somewhat happy in his heart.

Afterwards, he did not stay here waiting foolishly. He just gave some instructions and turned around and left, rushing back to the first apiary.

Although he has sentenced the first apiary to death, if he wants the second apiary to return to normal, he must completely eliminate the source of infection in the first apiary.

In addition, he also needs to carefully check how many bee pupae and honey are left in the beehives to see if some bee colonies can be preserved.

When Ma Guifang saw Li Guoqiang rushing back alone, she immediately ignored the difference between men and women and rushed forward, hugged Li Guoqiang's arm, and then said pleadingly:
"Qiangzi, please be kind and find a way to help save our apiary. As long as you can do it, no matter what your conditions are, I can agree to them."

After saying that, she blinked at Li Guoqiang and held his hands tighter, obviously ready to risk it all and give Li Guoqiang a taste of it.

After all, after experiencing the glory of being the manager of a apiary, she really couldn't accept the result of having to go back to work in the fields.

It's a pity that Li Guoqiang's vision has been spoiled by Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, and he has no interest in the conditions offered by Ma Guifang.

Soon, he pulled his hand out with a little force, and then said seriously: "Sister Guifang, don't worry! As long as there is a glimmer of hope to save the apiary, I will do my best."

The implication is that if you can't keep it, then don't blame him.

After all, he is not in the habit of letting others take advantage of him.

If someone does something wrong, he or she must pay for his or her mistake.
