Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 434 Interlude

"Hadron!"

The next moment, before Li Guoqiang could speak to comfort Liang Xianglian, Erniu and the others, he saw Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, all of whom hurried out of the house with big bellies.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he also found that the stomachs of Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others were a little bigger than before.

So it is quite inconvenient to walk.

In order to prevent them from walking too fast and accidentally falling, Li Guoqiang rushed forward without saying a word and said in a feigned anger: "What are you doing? You are all about to become mothers, why don't you know how to protect yourselves?

I'm here and I won't run away suddenly. Why are you so anxious?
Hurry up, everyone, go back to the house!"

After hearing this, the smiles on Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others' faces froze immediately. They didn't dare to say anything back and turned around and walked into the house obediently.

When Liang Xianglian and Erniu saw this, they felt a little nervous and then ran over quickly, following Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, serving them carefully, fearing that they would get bumped or hurt.

Among them, Erniu was fine, but Liang Xianglian felt a little sad from time to time.

You know, compared to Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others who had her serving them, when she gave birth to Erniu and Sanwazi, she had to rely on herself for everything!
If she hadn't been so blessed and lucky to have met Li Guoqiang, she would have died long ago. How could she have lived such a good life?
Thinking of this, her love for Li Guoqiang inadvertently deepened.

Soon, with the help of her and Erniu, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others finally returned to the west room and sat down on the fire pit safely.

Then, without even taking a breath, they hurried to the outer room and prepared hot water and a wet towel for Li Guoqiang.

Fortunately, there is electric light in the room so they can use it at any time. Otherwise, it would be really inconvenient to prepare things in time.

At this time, Li Guoqiang had also walked in from outside, and sat on the edge of the kang with a stern face.

When Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others saw this, they couldn't sit still anymore and moved their bodies forward hurriedly. One of them pinched the shoulder, one pounded the back with her fist, one pinched the feet, one pinched the hands, and so on. They were so attentive.

Moreover, while they were busy, they did not forget to act cute and coquettishly:
"Qiangzi, we know we were wrong, so please don't be angry, okay?"

"Yeah! Besides, we didn't do it on purpose. It's because you haven't come to see us for so long!"

"Oh my! Why are you so stingy? We have already admitted our mistakes to you, what else do you want?"

"It's no big deal. I'll do whatever you say. Don't be so stern, okay?"

Listening to these sweet words, Li Guoqiang held back for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold it back any longer, so he could only wave his hands in a somewhat unpleasant manner and said, "Alright, forget it this time, but if it happens again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

After saying that, he quickly raised his hand and took six photos in a row, giving them a small lesson.

"Hmm~"

Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others were punished, but they didn't dare to say anything. They just covered their buttocks and looked at Li Guoqiang with watery eyes, as if to say "Hit me!"

When Li Guoqiang saw it, he immediately felt funny, and then gave them a look that said "wait for me".

At the same time, Liang Xianglian and Erniu had brought in hot water and wet towels, and one helped Li Guoqiang wipe his face and hands, while the other helped him take off his shoes and socks and wash his feet.

For them, this matter was already a piece of cake. After a while, they finished it, and then they were busy warming up a pot of wine for Li Guoqiang and preparing some side dishes.

After all, we haven’t seen each other for such a long time, so we have to chat for a while before we can move on to the next topic.

Moreover, they also want to use this method to allow Li Guoqiang to stay longer.

"correct!"

As she was eating and drinking, Pan Qiaoyan suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Brother Qiangzi, is Sister Juan's due date approaching?"

"no!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he quickly shook his head and said, "How can it be so fast! According to calculations, she still has more than a month to give birth!"

"Forehead"

When Pan Qiaoyan heard this, she immediately said with some embarrassment: "Look at my brain, I guess it's because I've lived here for too long that it's become confused!"

"Look what you said!"

When Li Guoqiang heard Pan Qiaoyan say this, he immediately said in a bad mood: "Don't think I can't hear it, you are deliberately trying to provoke me!

I admit that I was wrong not to come to see you for such a long time, but I have something to do, right? "

As soon as the words fell, Shang Xiuzhen hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Here's the thing."

Soon, Li Guoqiang told Pan Qiaoyan and others in detail about the changes that had taken place at the Jinshanbao Bee Farm. He even told them that he wanted to take this opportunity to shift the production responsibility of the bee farm to the villagers themselves.

"So that's it!"

After listening to this, Shang Xiuzhen and the others showed a look of understanding on their faces. Even Liang Xianglian and Erniu nodded, obviously knowing Li Guoqiang's identity and status in Jinshanbao.

Shang Xiuzhen then pondered for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and asked hurriedly, "So what are you going to do next? You can't just go against the leaders above, right?"

Hearing this, the others reacted immediately and looked at Li Guoqiang with worry on their faces.

After all, they are not ignorant women from the countryside, but modern women with higher education.

In addition, when they were working in Xiangmi Zhai before, they often asked Wu Cai'e about matters in the officialdom, so they naturally knew that a higher-ranking official can crush a person.

In their opinion, although Li Guoqiang had come up with a best of both worlds solution, which was to push the production responsibility of the apiary to others, he also had an excuse to shirk responsibility from his superiors.

However, many times, things are not so easy to solve.

If the leaders above were overbearing and tyrannical, they would force Li Guoqiang to hand over the Jinshanbao apiary in its entirety, no matter what.

Then, as an ordinary villager, if Li Guoqiang disobeys orders, people will give him a reason to make trouble.

At that time, it would be fine to lock up Li Guoqiang and educate him, or send Li Guoqiang to the Northwest.

Although they were not worried about Li Guoqiang's safety given his ability, if that happened, wouldn't they have to separate from him? Thinking of this, they all looked nervous.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang was slightly amused, then he laughed and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, since I dare to do this, I have naturally thought of a way to deal with it, so you can rest assured!"

"That's good!"

When Shang Xiuzhen and others heard Li Guoqiang's answer, they immediately felt relieved.

Afterwards, after hearing what Li Guoqiang said, they showed expressions of admiration and praise on their faces.

This also made Li Guoqiang feel a little warm in his heart, and then he reached out and pulled Erniu over.

Upon seeing this, Erniu couldn't help but let out a soft cry. Then, under the gaze of others, she took the initiative and fully displayed her wild nature.

In the blink of an eye, the night was over.

As soon as it was getting light, Li Guoqiang quietly climbed up from the fire pit, then glanced at Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, who were sleeping like lazy cats, with a slight smile on his lips. Then he used teleportation to return directly to his home in Jinshanbao.

At this time, Luo Huijuan, Xu Yuping and others were still asleep and had no idea that Li Guoqiang had gone out.

When Li Guoqiang quietly got into the bed, Luo Huijuan was awakened by a gust of cold wind. She turned her head to look at Li Guoqiang in a daze, then moved back and squeezed into Li Guoqiang's arms to continue sleeping.

Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel amused when he saw this. Then he carefully placed his hand on Luo Huijuan's belly, feeling the movements of the three little guys in her belly, and slowly fell asleep.

However, he did not sleep for long. When it was bright, Xu Yuliang ran to his house in a hurry and asked him to pack up and go to the city with him.

Since it was he who proposed the matter, he couldn't refuse.

What's more, he was not very confident in Xu Yuliang and others, worried that they would mess things up.

So, not long after, he quickly packed up and drove the sled with Xu Yuliang to the village entrance, with Luo Huijuan, Xu Yuping and others looking on with tenderness on their faces.

Then, they just waited for a while, and Xu Yu'an, Ma Chunmei, Ma Hongying and Xu Laosan came over.

Among them, Xu Yu'an and Ma Chunmei, as the brigade accountant and women's director, together with Xu Yuliang, the brigade leader, were responsible for reporting relevant situations to the city leaders.

Ma Hongying and Xu Laosan, as representatives of ordinary villagers, proved the authenticity of the situation to the city leaders.

Moreover, they have a relatively close relationship with Li Guoqiang, so there is no need to worry about them causing trouble.

In this way, the preparations can be considered very appropriate.

From this we can also see that Captain Xu Yuliang really put a lot of thought into this.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang nodded secretly in his heart, then called on everyone to get on the sled and hurried to Majiadian Commune.

On the way, everyone's expression revealed a hint of uneasiness, even the team leader Xu Yuliang was no exception.

You know, most of them have never come into contact with many officials in their lives, not to mention that this time they have to bargain with the city leaders, which naturally makes them feel pressured.

Only Li Guoqiang looked very relaxed along the way, as if he was out for a picnic.

In this way, they hurried all the way, and when they arrived at Majiadian Commune, it was already past ten o'clock in the afternoon.

Afterwards, after they got a travel certificate from Majiadian Commune, they didn't waste much time and went directly to the state-owned restaurant, spent some money and tickets, bought some food, and then ate while leaving Majiadian Commune and rushing to Tieshi.

Fortunately, Majiadian Commune is not far from Tieshi. With the speed of a red deer, it is estimated that it will only take four or five hours.

The only bad thing was the cold wind blowing in our faces and the bumpy road, which made the people sitting on the sled feel sore on their buttocks and even a little dizzy.

Therefore, before they even reached the place, Ma Chunmei and Ma Hongying, the aunt and niece, could not bear it anymore and could only lie on the man sitting next to them.

Among them, the person sitting next to Ma Chunmei was none other than the rough man Xu Laosan.

He was just feeling a little drowsy when he was suddenly startled by a large mass pressing down on him.

Then, he turned his head suddenly and saw Ma Chunmei's charming face immediately, making him swallow involuntarily.

Then he quickly turned his head to look at everyone else, and found that no one noticed them, so he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Li Guoqiang was startled by Ma Hongying who suddenly came over.

When he found that Ma Hongying was just dizzy, he felt relieved. Then he quickly reached out his hand and massaged the corresponding acupoints on Ma Hongying to help her relieve the discomfort.

After a while, Ma Hongying slowly regained her spirits, and then found herself nestled in Li Guoqiang's arms, and was dazed for a moment.

"Um, are you feeling better?"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly asked a question.

"without"

Ma Hongying came back to her senses after hearing this, then quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hands to prop herself up and sat down again. At the same time, she turned her head to glance at Xu Yu'an who was sitting behind her, fearing that he would have some opinions.

Fortunately, Xu Yu'an was arm in arm with Xu Yuliang at the moment, whispering something to each other, and he didn't even notice that his wife had secretly tasted a small bite of the salty food.

When Li Guoqiang saw Ma Hongying like this, he couldn't help but feel funny. Then he didn't care about it anymore and focused his attention on driving again.

After this little episode, the red deer continued to run forward for more than an hour, until around two o'clock in the afternoon, when they finally arrived at Tieshi smoothly.

Moreover, because Li Guoqiang had been here before, he did not take a detour and went directly to the Municipal Agriculture Bureau. Then, with the letter of introduction issued in advance by Majiadian Commune, he successfully met the director Li Chunyang.

Li Chunyang was a little surprised at their arrival, but after they told him what happened, he finally understood. He then hurriedly asked someone to call over the main driving force behind the incident, their old acquaintance, Section Chief Zheng Kaitao.
