Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 427 Am I someone who is short of food?

"Boss, you are here!"

As soon as Zhao Liming walked into the room, he met Li Guoqiang's gaze, which made him stunned for a moment. Then he hurriedly nodded, bowed, smiled and shouted.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded slightly in agreement, then laughed softly and joked: "It's been a while since we last met, you've gained weight again!"

"Whoa!"

When Zhao Limin heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's all thanks to you that I have gained a little more weight."

After saying this, he looked at Li Guoqiang with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Although he used to live a pretty bad life thanks to his decent hunting skills and reselling some supplies in the mountains and outside the mountains.

However, compared to being a dog for Li Guoqiang, there is simply no comparison.

Not to mention that Li Guoqiang gave the couple a salary of 30 yuan every month, just the food, vegetables, fruits, meat, and candies that Li Guoqiang brought them from time to time were already what many people dreamed of.

With good food and drink, he gradually became wealthy even though he often patrolled the mountains with a gun.

In fact, with the salary and supplies provided by Li Guoqiang, the children in their family even lived a much better life.

And all this was brought to them by Li Guoqiang, how could he not be grateful.

As for coveting and jealousy, that is absolutely impossible.

After all, to this day, sometimes when he thinks of Li Guoqiang's elusive figure, he can't help but feel a chill on his back. Even if he was given a hundred courage, he would not dare to have any unfaithful thoughts towards Li Guoqiang.

"okay!"

When Li Guoqiang heard what Zhao Limin said, the corner of his mouth raised, and then he said with some joy: "Don't talk nonsense with me. As long as you can help me work steadily, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Don't worry!"

When Zhao Limin heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said to show his loyalty: "As long as I am still alive, I will never let anything go wrong with the bee farm."

After saying that, he was thinking about how he should stay and have a few drinks with Li Guoqiang to deepen the relationship between master and servant, when he suddenly saw Liang Xianglian lifting the curtain of the west room and walking out with six beautiful girls.

This made him stare blankly, as if he had lost his soul.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang frowned slightly, then hurriedly coughed a few times and said, "Um, Lao Zhao! Let me introduce them to you. They are all my women and will need to live here for a while.

When the time comes, you have to pay attention to their safety!"

Hearing this, Zhao Limin's eyes widened instantly, and then he said to Li Guoqiang with admiration: "Boss, if I were to say, you are this, even the emperor in the past could not compare to you."

As he said this, he gave a thumbs-up gesture.

Then, he patted his chest vigorously and said seriously, "Don't worry, I promise to protect the safety of all the ladies. If they lose even a hair, you will kill me!"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, then he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say. If they make any mistakes, don't blame me for being cruel."

After he finished speaking, his eyes became sharp, flashing a cold light, which made Zhao Liming's heart tighten suddenly, and he couldn't help but secretly regret having said so much.

If something unexpected really happens, then he will be finished, right?

However, now that the words have been spoken, he cannot take them back. He can only be extra vigilant in the future and try his best to protect Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others.

Fortunately, this is a deep mountain forest with few people. As long as Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others don't run into the mountains, there shouldn't be any problems.

Moreover, he didn't believe that Li Guoqiang would completely put the safety of his woman in his hands.

With Li Guoqiang's ability to appear and disappear at will, it would be difficult for Shang Xiuzhen and Pan Qiaoyan to encounter any problems.

Thinking of this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face again.

However, now that he knew the identities of Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, he didn't dare to stare at them anymore, for fear of making Li Guoqiang unhappy.

Seeing that Zhao Liming was so tactful, Li Guoqiang didn't say anything else. He just waved his hand to signal him to go back first, and then took Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others into the east room.

According to his previous plan, the west room was allocated to Liang Xianglian and Erniu, while the east room was reserved for Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others.

Therefore, a concave-shaped kang was built directly in the east room, which can accommodate up to ten to twenty people.

In this way, when Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others have children, there will be no overcrowding.

When Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others were following Li Guoqiang to visit the east room, the third child, who had been dazed for a while, was also awakened by the second girl.

Then, he grabbed Erniu's arm and asked in surprise, "Sister, are they really Brother Qiangzi's wives?"

"Yup!"

Erniu nodded after hearing this, then smiled softly and replied, "Didn't you hear what Brother Qiangzi said just now?"

"This is too much!"

When Sanwazi heard this, he couldn't help but sighed, "Besides, they are also very beautiful, just like fairies in the sky, much better than you."

"Ok?"

When Erniu heard this, she immediately frowned and said unkindly, "You are really bold today, right? Tell me again if you have the guts?"

"Forehead"

When Sanwazi saw Erniu's cannibalistic look, he couldn't help but shudder all over, then he quickly waved his hands and explained, "Sister, don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant."

"okay!"

When Erniu saw Sanwazi's useless look, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then said unhappily, "Don't explain so much to me, you are right, I am not as good-looking as others.

But even so, you have to keep your mouth shut in the future and don't say anything.

When the time comes, it doesn’t matter if you offend me, but don’t offend others, remember?"

"remember!"

After hearing this, Sanwazi's heart suddenly tightened, and then he nodded quickly and spoke.

In fact, no matter whether it is Erniu or him, they all have an unspeakable inferiority in front of Li Guoqiang. When they get along with Li Guoqiang on weekdays, they are always worried that they have done something wrong and made Li Guoqiang angry.

After all, if Li Guoqiang stopped caring about them, it would be a blessing from God for them, an orphan and a widow, to live a good life. Erniu saw that Sanwazi had understood what she meant, so she didn't say anything. She just waved her hand and signaled him to go back to the two adobe and thatched houses next door and not disturb Li Guoqiang, Shang Xiuzhen and others.

When the third child saw this, he didn't get upset, but turned around and ran out obediently.

Afterwards, he hesitated for a moment and did not choose to go back to his room. Instead, he went outside the yard to check the traps he had set before and catch the mice that had fallen into the trap to ensure that the generator had enough free labor.

After a while, when Li Guoqiang helped Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others to make the beds and came out of the west room, Liang Xianglian and Erniu had already warmed up the fire pit in the west room. By the way, they also prepared some side dishes to fill the stomachs of Li Guoqiang, Shang Xiuzhen and others.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel satisfied. Then he looked left and right, but didn't see Sanwazi, so he asked softly, "Erniu, where's your brother?"

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Erniu quickly answered, "He just went back to his room. What do you want to talk to him about?"

"without!"

Li Guoqiang waved his hand, then laughed and said, "Isn't this your sister Xiuzhen and the others who prepared some New Year's money for your brother, and you want to give it to him!"

"Then I'll go call him over now!"

When Erniu heard this, she felt slightly happy, then nodded and spoke quickly.

After saying that, she ran out quickly.

Then, not long after, she hurried back with an annoyed look on her face.

"What's the matter? Where's your brother?"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"He went to catch mice. I told him to come back after he cleaned himself."

Upon hearing this, Erniu quickly replied.

"Forehead"

When Li Guoqiang heard this answer, he was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Didn't I tell you before that you should feed some food to the mice and keep them so that you don't have to catch mice often?
Besides, there is snow everywhere in this mountain, where can he catch mice?"

"that."

Erniu glanced at Li Guoqiang, then pursed her lips and said nervously: "We did feed the mice some food according to your instructions, but they eat too much every day, almost catching up with us in one meal.

So I discussed it with Sanwazi and asked him to find some rat holes nearby and set some traps to see if he could catch more rats and save some food.”

"Ah!"

After listening to this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, then shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You, you, what can I say about you? Do you think I am a person who is short of food?

I'm not saying that it's wrong for you to want to save food, but compared to working so hard to catch mice, that little bit of food is nothing.

Besides, if you accidentally get bitten by a mouse or a poisonous snake while catching it, wouldn’t that be a big loss?”

"I"

When Erniu heard what Li Guoqiang said, she immediately panicked and said hastily, "I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to do this. I didn't expect it to be like this."

"okay!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Erniu's panicked expression, his expression relaxed, and then he spoke softly to comfort her: "It's my fault that I didn't explain it to you clearly before. You did this for the sake of your family. Just change it in the future."

"Ok!"

Erniu felt relieved when she heard that, then nodded quickly and said, "Then I'll go tell Sanwazi right away."

Having said that, she wanted to turn around and run away, but was immediately stopped by Li Guoqiang.

"Forget it, you should stay here and help your mother cook! I'll go talk to him and check if there's any problem with the generator."

"Oh!"

When Erniu heard what Li Guoqiang said, she could only nod with some worry and agreed, then watched Li Guoqiang walk out.

At the same time, she also vaguely felt that there was a big gap between her thoughts and ideas and those of Li Guoqiang.

Especially now, with Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others coming home, it is easy to form a contrast.

This made her feel a little frustrated and worried, fearing that she would do more things that would displease Li Guoqiang in the future.

"fine!"

Liang Xianglian stood aside, and seeing Erniu's tightly knitted brows, she hurriedly stepped forward, patted her shoulder with her hand, and spoke softly to comfort her: "Qiangzi is not the kind of person who cares about every little thing, and you didn't do it on purpose, he won't blame you."

"mom!"

Erniu raised her head and glanced at Liang Xianglian, then said uneasily, "I'm not worried that he will blame us, I just feel that apart from serving Brother Qiangzi, there is nothing else we can do to help him.

In this case, can we still stay with him in the future?"

"Silly girl!"

Liang Xianglian couldn't help but said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? Don't forget, we are women, and it's good enough to serve him well.

What's more, we are also helping him manage the apiary!

Mom knows you have always wanted a child, but this kind of thing can’t be rushed. You are still young and will have plenty of opportunities in the future.

What you should do most now is to get along well with your sister Xiuzhen and the others and take good care of them.

Besides, you don’t have to worry so much, no matter what, mom will be there to help you.”

"Ok!"

After Erniu heard what Liang Xianglian said, she felt much more relaxed. She nodded vigorously and agreed, "I will try my best to do it well."

After saying that, she reached out, hugged Liang Xianglian, and silently encouraged herself in her heart.

Whether for herself or for the future security of Liang Xianglian and Sanwazi, she will do her best to become an indispensable woman by Li Guoqiang's side.

At the same time, on the other side, Li Guoqiang first carefully checked the generator and the hygiene of the generator room. After finding no problems, he went to the two adobe and thatched houses next door and found Sanwazi who was wiping and washing his body with hot water.

Seeing him come in, Sanwazi's movements froze slightly, then he lowered his head quickly and said, "Brother Qiangzi, I know I was wrong."
