Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 431 No one is nobler than anyone else

By the time the meeting was over, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

The result of the discussion was similar to what Li Guoqiang had said before, except that there was an additional list of breeding tasks.

According to the number of existing beehives in the apiary, basically every household has adopted more than a dozen boxes of bees.

At that time, we just need to publish the list, adjust the placement area of ​​the beehives, and put up the corresponding names of the household owners.

In addition, considering that the apiary has been distributed to the villagers for adoption, the apiary can no longer hire workers. Instead, each household will arrange one person to follow Li Guoqiang and be responsible for the affairs of the apiary.

Although doing so is somewhat unfair to the villagers who have become workers in the apiary, there is no other way but to do so in order to protect the income of the apiary.

Moreover, after this adjustment, there is no need to worry about anyone getting jealous, because except for Li Guoqiang, the technician of the bee farm, no one else will receive work points as a reward and can only get some honey privately.

In addition, in order to facilitate management, two representatives need to be elected from among so many villagers to be responsible for managing the affairs of the first apiary and the second apiary respectively.

Li Guoqiang did not express any opinion on this. He just told the villagers to elect their own candidates, and then come and listen to his command.

Anyway, no matter who is chosen, it is impossible for him to disobey him in secret.

Moreover, this could be used as an excuse to remove Ma Guifang from her position as farm director.

What's more, based on his understanding of so many villagers in Jinshanbao, he knew without any guessing that the representative of one of the apiaries must be Xu Yuping.

As for the representative of the other apiary, it depends on who has better means among the Xu family, the Sun family, and the Ma family.

After seeing off Xu Yuliang, Sun Maocai and others, Li Guoqiang sat on the kang and had a good dinner with Luo Huijuan, Xu Yuping and others.

Then, he reviewed the well-digging techniques with Xu Yuping, Zhu Caiyan and others in an easy-to-understand manner. They were so sleepy that they fell asleep. Then, at Luo Huijuan's urging, he used teleportation to quietly go to the villa in the mountains.

At this time, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others had already finished their bath. They gathered around the fire pit in the west room to chat while waiting for Li Guoqiang to come back.

This wait lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening.

If they didn't have great faith in Li Guoqiang's abilities, they would probably have worried that something had happened to Li Guoqiang.

Just when they were getting a little sleepy from waiting, they suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside the house, and then they saw Li Guoqiang lifting the door curtain and striding in.

"Qiangzi, you're back! I'll get you a hot towel right away!"

When Liang Xianglian saw it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she quickly jumped off the kang, not caring that she was wearing thin clothes, and walked out directly.

Erniu was not idle either. She quickly picked up the teapot and poured a glass of boiled water for Li Guoqiang.

As for Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, since they were carrying a ball and it was not very convenient for them to move, they just smiled at Li Guoqiang and stretched out their hands to signal him to get on the kang and warm up.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, then walked slowly forward and sat on the edge of the kang.

Then, Liang Xianglian lifted the door curtain and came in with a basin of hot water, with a towel on top of it.

Then, she squatted on the ground skillfully, put the towel into the basin and wrung it dry, then stood up and washed Li Guoqiang's face and hands carefully and gently.

At the same time, Erniu also got off the kang, then squatted beside Liang Xianglian, reached out and grabbed Li Guoqiang's feet, and quickly took off his shoes and socks.

In fact, before this, Li Guoqiang had also advised Liang Xianglian and Erniu not to work so hard.

However, they didn't want to listen, and there was nothing he could do but let them do as they pleased.

Not long after, Liang Xianglian and Erniu finished their work and walked out with the basin of water.

Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others also brought pajamas to Li Guoqiang.

However, Li Guoqiang had no intention of changing it, but directly pulled Shang Xiuzhen over.

When Liang Xianglian and Erniu came back in, they saw Li Guoqiang and Shang Xiuzhen playing cards, and their eyes widened.

Then, they pursed their lips nervously and walked silently to the other side of the fire pit and sat down.

In the blink of an eye, it was soon the next morning.

With the sound of firecrackers coming from outside the house, Liang Xianglian and Erniu slowly woke up from their sleep, and then looked at the beams on the roof, their eyes revealing a hint of confusion.

Then, they quickly recalled the experience of watching and playing cards last night, and for a moment they couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, the two of them had always been together and were family, so they didn't think there was anything wrong.

And last night, whether it was the card skills of Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, or the excitement of the game, it all opened their eyes.

In fact, they gradually got a little addicted and played more and more crazily, and almost forgot their last names.

If Li Guoqiang hadn’t used his ultimate skill to crush them all in the end, they probably wouldn’t know what tricks they would play!

Just when they were thinking more and more about it and feeling a little embarrassed, they suddenly heard Shang Xiuzhen's voice.

"Auntie Liang, Erniu, are you awake? If you are, get up and wash up, then enjoy our cooking!"

Hearing this, Liang Xianglian and Erniu were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly climbed up from the kang and said nervously, "How can this be possible? We agreed to let you take care of you, how can we let you cook?"

"Whoa!"

Shang Xiuzhen heard this and immediately waved her hand with a generous look and said, "This is not a difficult task, it's just cooking, you don't need to be so nervous.

Moreover, we are all good sisters, no one is superior to the other, and now that we live together, we should take care of each other.

Besides, we had a much easier time than you last night, so of course we had to get up earlier to cook."

"This"

When Liang Xianglian and Erniu heard Shang Xiuzhen say this, they understood the truth in their hearts, but Shang Xiuzhen and the others were pregnant after all, so how could they feel at ease letting Shang Xiuzhen and the others work!

If something unexpected happens, how can they explain it to Li Guoqiang?
"That's enough!" Shang Xiuzhen saw Liang Xianglian and Erniu like this, and hurriedly smiled and comforted them, "I'm telling you the truth! It was Qiangzi who asked us not to disturb you and let you rest more.

So don't worry so much, just get up and wash up!"

"Ok!"

When Liang Xianglian and Erniu heard that it was Li Guoqiang's idea, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then they nodded hurriedly, agreed, and rolled over from the fire pit.

After a short while, they packed up and hurriedly followed Shang Xiuzhen out.

The next moment, just as they were about to get their toothbrushes and toothpaste to wash up, they walked to the washstand and found that someone had already prepared hot water for them.

Although this was not as caring a service as the one they provided to Li Guoqiang, it also made them feel warm in their hearts.

If they had felt a little strange and suspicious about Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others before, then at this moment, after fighting side by side last night and drinking this basin of hot water, they have already accepted from the bottom of their hearts that Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others are their good sisters and their family.

Soon, they each washed up and went to the east room to prepare breakfast.

At the same time, Li Guoqiang, who was setting off firecrackers with Sanwaizi in the yard, also walked in from outside the house, and pulled Sanwaizi, who looked restrained, in and asked him to sit next to him.

Seeing this scene, Liang Xianglian and Erniu immediately wanted to speak up to stop it, but before they could open their mouths, Li Guoqiang glared back at them.

In desperation, they could only let Sanwazi fall into the fire pit and sit with Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others.

Sanwazi sat next to Li Guoqiang, secretly raised his head to glance at Shang Xiuzhen and others, then quickly lowered his head and dared not look any more, for fear of offending Shang Xiuzhen and others.

"hehe!"

Shang Xiuzhen and others couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw this.

In fact, at Sanwazi’s current age, he is just an older kid and doesn’t need to care about those rules at all.

Moreover, Liang Xianglian and Erniu were also present at the scene, so it was unreasonable and unethical to kick Sanwazi out.

At worst, they can just control themselves a little and not say anything inappropriate to avoid corrupting the children.

Naturally, Li Guoqiang wouldn't care about this.

The reason why he called Sanwazi in was, on the one hand, because he really regarded Sanwazi as his own brother-in-law and wanted to bring him up well.

On the other hand, when he is not here, he will need Sanwazi to help take care of Shang Xiuzhen and others. Naturally, he cannot let Sanwazi and Shang Xiuzhen and others become too unfamiliar with each other.

Moreover, he also planned to prepare some good wine and food to entertain Zhao Liming at noon.

Although in his opinion, Zhao Liming was just a dog he accepted, he still had to win him over when the time came.

Zhao Liming was also very tactful. After finishing his meal, he immediately expressed his desire to go back as soon as possible and bring his wife over.

On the one hand, this can avoid suspicion, and on the other hand, it can help take care of Shang Xiuzhen and others.

Li Guoqiang was naturally very satisfied with this, and he gave Zhao Liming a hundred yuan and some national food coupons as an advance payment for his wages.

When Zhao Liming saw the money and bills, he couldn't stop smiling.

After all, he is not a lonely man. His family not only has children, but also some relatives and friends.

With this money and tickets, he can stand up straight in front of his children and relatives and friends.

However, although he was happy, he still remembered that he could not reveal what was happening here to anyone else. The most he could do was to tell others that he had hunted prey and exchanged it for money and tickets.

After all, he didn't want his head to move away from his body one day by accident.

Just like that, time passed quickly and more than a week had passed.

During this period of time, Li Guoqiang kept traveling back and forth between Jinshan Fort and Shenshan Villa, and also took Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others for a good stroll around the Shenshan Villa, allowing them to slowly adapt to life here.

Zhao Liming and his wife, after some deliberate flattery, naturally became roles similar to housekeepers and nannies, responsible for some heavy work, miscellaneous chores and security matters in the house.

As for Liang Xianglian and Erniu, they also gradually adapted to the days of practicing card skills with Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others. At the same time, they also gradually shed their rustic airs and gradually revealed a bit of the appearance of noble ladies.

Seeing this situation, Li Guoqiang knew that it was time for him to go back to Jinshan Fort.

After all, after a period of arrangements, brigade cadres such as Xu Yuliang and Sun Maocai have almost arranged the distribution of the apiaries to the villagers for breeding. Even two representatives have been elected. Naturally, he has to go back to take over and give those villagers some good training.

When Shang Xiuzhen, Liang Xianglian and others heard Li Guoqiang say that he wanted to return to Jinshanbao, although they felt a little reluctant, none of them objected. They just nodded silently and agreed.

Then, Li Guoqiang politely declined Sanwazi and Zhao Liming's offer to drive the sled to take him back, and walked away step by step.

Afterwards, he did not rush back to Jinshan Fort immediately, but used teleportation to patrol the forest within a radius of fifty miles near the villa in the deep mountains, and killed all the reckless wild wolves and slightly larger beasts.

In this way, in a short period of time, the villa in the deep mountains can be prevented from being attacked by wild beasts, and some short-sighted hunters can be prevented from accidentally running here and discovering the situation of the villa in the deep mountains.

As for the long time, he can always find time again and use teleportation to sweep again, so that he can ensure that there will be no mistakes.

Soon, he finished the matter and returned to Jinshan Fort with several hundred kilograms of meat. Then he happened to meet Xu Yuchang and others who came to his house to say goodbye to him.

Although Xiangmi Zhai did not need to open for business at this time, their wives had already taken more than half a month's wedding leave and had to rush back to work.

Their families, especially their parents, are naturally very reluctant about this.

After all, seeing that his daughter-in-law is already pregnant and will give birth in a few months, if he goes back this time, he doesn’t know when he will come back next time.

But there is no other way. We can’t let the wives of Xu Yuchang and others give up their jobs in the city!

After listening to what Xu Yuchang and others said, Li Guoqiang was slightly happy, and then without thinking, he suggested: "What's the difficulty? If your parents really want to see their grandchildren, when your wife is about to give birth, they can send a letter and let your parents take a bus to Sijiucheng to see you.

Anyway, each of you should have enough money for the train tickets now!"
