Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 436 It’s done
In fact, Li Guoqiang did not expect things to go so smoothly. He originally thought that the city leaders might not trust them so easily, so he spent some time training all the elected village representatives in Jinshanbao to avoid sending people down to conduct on-site investigations.

Perhaps, this is because Cui Zhengshan and He Anshun have different political views and positions, which led to such a result.

Of course, Li Guoqiang doesn’t care about the specific reasons at all, as long as the results are good.

Not long after, he took Xu Yuliang and others to the city guesthouse and completed the check-in procedures. Seeing that it was still early and Xu Yuliang and others looked eager to try, he specifically suggested going out for a walk.

Moreover, he was very considerate and took out some money and tickets and temporarily lent them to Xu Yuliang and others so that they could buy what they wanted and not make a wasted trip to the city.

They strolled along like this until it gradually darkened. Xu Yuliang and the others finally walked out of a department store with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

Then, Xu Yuliang seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but say with some emotion: "Our city is full of buildings and shops. Compared with our commune, it is already a world of difference, but it is still not as prosperous as the old city!"

"Ah!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he immediately said with some amusement: "Actually, this is also normal. After all, the city of Sijiu is also the capital, so of course it is better than here."

"That's true!"

When Xu Yuliang heard what Li Guoqiang said, he was slightly stunned, and then he even amused himself.

Then, after some discussion, they unanimously decided to go to the state-owned restaurant for a big meal and see the world, so that they would not have nothing to brag about when they returned.

As for the issue of paying the bill, of course it was Li Guoqiang who would take care of it.

In the end, they spent a total of five kilograms of national food coupons, three kilograms of meat coupons and more than twenty yuan.

Compared to the food they usually ate in Jinshan Castle, this meal was quite luxurious.

Fortunately, they have the dividends from the bee farm as a backup, so they don't have to worry about not being able to pay back the money.

At this point, they all felt very satisfied and comfortable with this journey.

The next morning, when they left the city guesthouse and headed home, they all had relaxed smiles on their faces, without any of the worries they had when they arrived.

Moreover, they had the leisure to play, chat and laugh on the sled, and seemed to have forgotten the bumpy road.

Before they knew it, they had successfully returned to Majiadian Commune. Then, as it was still early, they did not stay in the commune, but headed directly for Chang County, preparing to find Xu Guangfu in the county and tell him the good news that everything was going well.

At around 1:00 p.m., when Xu Guangfu heard the good news from Li Guoqiang, he couldn't help laughing out loud. Then he hurriedly pulled Li Guoqiang to find Qian Weiguo, wanting to implement the next plan as soon as possible.

Li Guoqiang naturally would not object to this, and had already prepared his arguments, just waiting to see Qian Weiguo's choice.

If Qian Weiguo was sensible enough, he wouldn't mind letting him get some credit.

And if Qian Weiguo insists on taking control of the management and acquisition of the beekeeping project, don't blame him for giving up and letting the project run aground.

"Well, leader, this is roughly what happened. What do you think?"

Soon, Xu Guangfu took Li Guoqiang to meet Qian Weiguo, and told him that the city had abandoned the apiary project, and that Jinshanbao had closed the apiary and distributed the bees to each household for breeding.

"Humph!"

After hearing this, Qian Weiguo couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then said unhappily: "Since you have already finished your work, why are you still asking me?"

After saying this, he lowered his head and picked up the pen, looking like he was serving tea to a guest, and his dissatisfaction was evident in his words.

"Leader, don't be impatient!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu hurriedly said, "I have something else to report to you!"

After he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qian Weiguo didn’t continue to chase people away, and then he quickly continued, “Well, the thing is, because the risk of disease in large-scale breeding is too high, isn’t Jinshanbao now distributing bees to every household for breeding?

So, I was thinking about whether the county could set up a new department in the Agricultural Bureau to be specifically responsible for exchanging the returned grain for bees from the Jinshanbao Production Brigade, and then distributing the bees to farmers who are suitable for and willing to raise bees.

In this way, we can avoid the risks of forced apportionment and disease in large-scale breeding, and make the best use of the resources of each production team to gradually develop the beekeeping industry in our county and let the farmers in the county gradually live a better life.

Moreover, if our county really develops to a certain scale in the future and accumulates more and better beekeeping technologies, it will not be too late to set up a county-run bee farm at that time. Don’t you think so?”

After saying this, he looked at Qian Weiguo with some anticipation, hoping that the other party would agree.

After listening to Xu Guangfu's report, Qian Weiguo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Originally, he thought that since even the city leaders had been forced to abandon the apiary project, then he, as a county leader, naturally had no time to think about this good thing.

However, he did not expect that Xu Guangfu would give him an unexpected turn of events, which made his mind suddenly become active.

Although as Xu Guangfu said, not only will the scale be much smaller than previously planned, but even the control will have to be handed over to Xu Guangfu.

But no matter what, as long as there are results, he will definitely have a share.

Moreover, in this way, he does not have to worry that Li Guoqiang, a key figure, will quit his job halfway, which is a lot of benefits.

Thinking of this, he instantly made up his mind, then he smiled very brightly, nodded and praised: "Yes, you are right, in everything, the most taboo is to act too hastily.

It seems that I was right to insist on promoting you.

Next, just do what you said just now. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, come to me and I will find a way to solve them for you.

Once this is done, I think you can get rid of the title of agent."

"Okay, okay, I will do my best to make this happen."

When Xu Guangfu heard this, he was suddenly delighted, then nodded quickly and made a promise.

When Li Guoqiang saw this situation, he immediately labeled Qian Weiguo as a sensible person.

In fact, he couldn't think of any reason for Qian Weiguo to refuse. The only thing he was a little uncertain about was whether Qian Weiguo would agree to let Xu Guangfu set up this new department and control the entire beekeeping business in Chang County.

After all, the various benefits contained here are not a small number.

Just with the current scale of beekeeping in Jinshanbao, hundreds of thousands of profits can be generated a year. If the beekeeping business can be successfully expanded to the entire Chang County, one can imagine how huge the profits will be.

At that time, let alone anything else, just by tampering with the scale, one can make a fortune.

Of course, for Qian Weiguo, the monetary benefits are not the most important. The most important thing is the political benefits it brings.

If the beekeeping business in Chang County was in his hands, then he, who controlled such a big piece of cake, could easily exchange for a lot of support from others and thus enhance his power.

Therefore, he naturally wanted to take control of the beekeeping business in Chang County.

However, since he had fought with Li Guoqiang before and was very clear about Li Guoqiang's abilities and personality, after much consideration, he had to abandon this idea and fully support Xu Guangfu's work.

Fortunately, not only was Xu Guangfu promoted by him personally, he was also his man, and the Agricultural Bureau where Xu Guangfu worked was also under his control, so he didn't have to worry so much.

In this way, Xu Guangfu quickly took Li Guoqiang away from the county government and returned to the Agricultural Bureau to convene a meeting with other leading cadres to implement the establishment of a new department.

When Li Guoqiang saw that all the problems had been resolved, he did not stay in the county town for too long. He took Xu Yuliang and others directly back to Jinshanbao.

When Sun Maocai, Ma Changshun and other brigade cadres who stayed at home heard Xu Yuliang's account of what happened and the final result, they could not help but look at Li Guoqiang with admiration.

In their opinion, this is going against the city’s leaders!

For this kind of thing, let alone asking them to get things done like Li Guoqiang, even if they were asked to say a few words to the city leaders, they would probably tremble.

At this point, they finally understood how powerful Li Guoqiang was.

At the same time, when Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen and others learned from Li Guoqiang that everything about the apiary had been accomplished, they did not feel surprised at all, but simply felt proud and happy for Li Guoqiang.

Afterwards, their attention quickly shifted away from the apiary and focused on Luo Huijuan's production.

Although there is still more than a month left before Luo Huijuan's due date.

However, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents when giving birth, and Luo Huijuan was pregnant with triplets at once, so she had to be careful.

Moreover, they had to prepare all the things needed for the mother and baby before Luo Huijuan gave birth, so as to avoid being in a hurry.

"How is it? Is it tiring?"

After Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen, Zhu Caiyan and others had all left, Li Guoqiang sat on the kang, gently held Luo Huijuan's hand, and then asked softly.

As he spoke, his eyes swept across Luo Huijuan's frighteningly large belly and rested on her pretty face, which had a hint of tiredness.

Under normal circumstances, when a woman is pregnant, her body will bear a great burden in the later stages of pregnancy.

However, Luo Huijuan became pregnant with three babies at once, and because of Li Guoqiang's careful care and adequate nutrition, all three babies in her belly developed very well.

Therefore, the burden she needs to bear is much greater than that of an ordinary pregnant woman.

If it weren't for her young age and the fact that her body was at its most energetic, coupled with the bonus brought by Li Guoqiang's unique skill of watering flowers, she might not have been able to wander around with Li Guoqiang like before.

Even so, starting from the past few days, she suddenly felt sleepy often, and would feel tired after walking a few steps, so she had to stay in bed to rest frequently.

Just like now, she was lying on her side on the fire pit, grabbing Li Guoqiang's hand, gently placing it on her belly, then shaking her head tenderly and saying, "It's okay, my body is not that bad, you don't need to worry about me."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded slightly in agreement, then carefully concentrated and sensed the three little ones in Luo Huijuan's belly.

Perhaps because they knew their father was coming, they all playfully kicked their little feet over, making Luo Huijuan's belly bulge with little bags.

At first glance, it's a bit scary.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang felt a little happy in his heart, then slowly moved his hand to another place.

The little guys, as if they had telepathy, immediately changed their positions, as if they were playing hide-and-seek with Li Guoqiang, which made him laugh.

Watching this scene, Luo Huijuan couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face, as if she had already seen the scene in the future where Li Guoqiang had one in his left hand, one in his right hand, and another riding on his neck.

However, it wasn't long before a trace of worry flashed across her face.

Because she is not far from her due date, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others have told her a lot of experiences in childbirth. What concerns her most is the risks of childbirth.

As the saying goes, giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman.

Especially for someone like her who is pregnant with several babies at once, there are huge risks involved.

If she hadn't known that Li Guoqiang had a personal world that could guarantee the safety of her and her children to the greatest extent, she would not have agreed to follow Li Guoqiang to Jinshan Fort.

But even so, as the due date drew closer, she couldn't help feeling worried.

"daughter in law!"

At this time, Li Guoqiang was very keen to notice Luo Huijuan's abnormality, and then he hurriedly came to her and said softly: "Don't think too much, I promise you that you will give birth to our child safely and smoothly.

You might as well think about how to feed them when the time comes, right?"

Having said that, he winked at Luo Huijuan in a somewhat mischievous way.

Seeing this, Luo Huijuan was stunned for a moment, then after she realized what was happening, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Guoqiang.
