Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 466 Perfect
"You mean."

Not long after, Qin Huairu listened to Li Guoqiang's explanation, her eyes widened, and then she asked in surprise: "Did Jia's mother-in-law agree to let Aunt Huairu follow you?"

In fact, she had already guessed about the affairs between Li Guoqiang, Qin Huairu, and Qin Jingru, but because Li Guoqiang didn't say it, she pretended not to know.

The only thing she never expected was that Jia Zhang would actually agree to let Qin Huairu and Li Guoqiang be together.

Could it be that Jia Zhang had a change of heart? Or had she changed her character?

Otherwise, considering Jia Zhang's usual miserly appearance and insatiable style, how could she possibly do such a loss-making business?

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was amused when he saw Qin Huairu's startled expression, then he laughed and explained, "Actually, it was Aunt Huairu who told her mother-in-law that if she didn't agree, she would send her mother-in-law back to the countryside, so her mother-in-law agreed."

"So that's it!"

When Luo Huijuan heard this, she immediately felt something dawning on her.

No wonder she couldn't figure it out! It turned out that Qin Huairu threatened Jia Zhang with the matter of retirement, so Jia Zhang nodded and agreed.

However, she soon thought of a question and asked hurriedly, "I remember Aunt Huairu has always been very filial. Why is she so stubborn now?"

"do not know!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang shook his head and said softly, "Perhaps, this is because she is reluctant to leave me?"

"whispering sound!"

When Luo Huijuan heard Li Guoqiang speak so narcissistically, she couldn't help but spit.

Afterwards, she did not open her mouth to refute, because she knew that what Li Guoqiang said made sense.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that being with Li Guoqiang can make Qin Huairu younger and more beautiful is enough to make her unable to leave Li Guoqiang.

What's more, Li Guoqiang is so promising. Whether for the sake of money and future or for the vanity in her heart, Qin Huairu would be a little overwhelmed.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had acted early.

Otherwise, with Li Guoqiang's excellence, he would have been snatched away by someone else long ago.

"correct!"

Li Guoqiang's eyes lit up when he saw Luo Huijuan's coquettish look. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Just now, Xiaofu told me that he wanted Yan Zi to go to work with you every day, and then he would be responsible for picking her up at the factory after get off work.

I thought I would send you to the factory to take on tasks every day anyway, so I agreed."

"This"

After listening to this, Luo Huijuan frowned, and then asked suspiciously, "What is this brat up to?"

"Forehead"

When Li Guoqiang heard this question, he was slightly stunned, then slowly frowned.

If Luo Huijuan hadn't brought it up, he really wouldn't have realized what was wrong with Luo Guofu's behavior!

It seems that he will have to take some time to investigate it in the future.

Soon, it was early morning of the next day.

Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan had just taken care of the child, and when they walked out, they found that Luo Guofu had left the courtyard at some point, leaving Zhao Qiuyan alone at home waiting for Yao Meilan to take her to the textile factory to go through the succession procedures.

Seeing this situation, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then they became more and more certain that Luo Guofu must be hiding something from them.

Afterwards, they did not ask Zhao Qiuyan, nor did they tell Yao Meilan about this matter, so as to avoid letting Yao Meilan worry about it.

Not long after, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others also came over with their children and had breakfast with Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others. By the way, they also took the time to feed the children to avoid them making noises on the way.

However, when they were ready and wanted to set off for Xiangmi Zhai, they suddenly found that with Zhao Qiuyan added, the tricycle seemed to have too little room.

After all, Zhao Qiuyan was not only an adult, but she was also pregnant. She couldn't be held like a child, nor could she be squeezed with other people.

In desperation, Li Guoqiang could only let Luo Huijuan, Zhao Qiuyan and Yao Meilan wait at home first, and then sent Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others to Xiangmizhai, and then went back and sent Luo Huijuan, Zhao Qiuyan and Yao Meilan to the textile factory.

Then, while Luo Huijuan was reporting on her work and taking on tasks at the factory, he found a more secluded corner, put the tricycle into the small space, and then used wood to assemble and lengthen the cargo bed, adding seats for three or four more people.

Anyway, with his physical strength, he can easily pedal the tricycle even with a few more people on it.

After he finished his work, he returned to the textile factory and saw Luo Huijuan standing alone at the door.

After asking, he found out that Yao Meilan needed some time to take Zhao Qiuyan to familiarize herself with the work environment and get to know her good friends in the factory, so as to prevent Zhao Qiuyan from being bullied in the future.

Therefore, Li Guoqiang had no choice but to send Luo Huijuan back to Xiangmizhai first, and then come to the textile factory to pick up Yao Meilan and Zhao Qiuyan before lunch.

In addition, he also had to take time to go to Zhen Hexiang's home to give Jiang Xiaohu acupuncture treatment.

I was busy all the time, and before I knew it, it was afternoon.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Guoqiang hurriedly said hello to Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, then rode his tricycle back to the courtyard. On the way, he found a relatively secluded corner and took out a lot of food from his small world.

Among them, there are not only the most authentic Wuchang rice and free-range chickens, ducks and geese, but also more than ten pounds of fat and lean pork belly and plump pork elbows.

In addition, there was a big grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms and an old turtle.

Add some fresh vegetables, fruits and melons and the tricycle's cargo box is filled to the brim.

With so many ingredients, let alone setting up a few tables for the banquet in the yard, even more than ten tables would be enough.

The main reason why he prepared so many good ingredients was that he did not want to lose face in front of the two big leaders, Song Guochang and Chen Wen'an.

By the way, he also wanted to let the neighbors in the courtyard see his strength, so that they would think twice before playing tricks on him in the future.

Although he was not worried about how much trouble the people in the Siheyuan could cause, it would be better to reduce it if possible.

Soon, he rode his tricycle back to the courtyard, and as soon as he entered the gate, he met Yan Bugui who was strolling in the south courtyard.

When Yan Bugui saw the various ingredients piled on the tricycle, his eyes widened instantly, and then he hurried over to help Li Guoqiang push the tricycle into the courtyard of Old Li's house.

"Okay!" Li Guoqiang parked the car, then said with a laugh, "Uncle, thank you for your help."

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui quickly waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of lending a hand. What's the big deal?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the various kinds of food on the tricycle, a fiery look flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly continued, "Well, let me help you take the things into the kitchen!"

"Need not!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he shook his head without thinking and said, "I can do this by myself. If you are free, please help me call the third aunt, the first aunt, and the second aunt to come and help wash the vegetables."

"Row!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui felt a little disappointed, then nodded and agreed, "Then I'll go and call them over for you, and also borrow the tables, chairs and benches."

After saying that, he looked at the ingredients reluctantly, then turned around and walked towards the yard.

In fact, the reason he wanted to help get the ingredients was not because he wanted to steal anything.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to see how much food Li Guoqiang had brought back, and then when it was time for the banquet, he would be able to calculate how much food was left based on the amount of food on each table, so that he could ask Li Guoqiang for more leftovers after the banquet.

It’s a pity that Li Guoqiang did not give him this opportunity.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan. He quickly ran back home and whispered a few words to the third aunt. Then he saw the third aunt running from her home to Li Guoqiang's home like a gust of wind.

Then, just as she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when Li Guoqiang took the ingredients into the kitchen to take a good look at the quantities of various ingredients, the next moment she saw that the tricycle was empty.

This made her wonder if she had run too slowly just now, which was why she couldn't catch up with Li Guoqiang.

Little did people know that Li Guoqiang just waved his hand and moved all the ingredients on the tricycle to the kitchen.

The reason why he didn't let Yan Bugui help get the ingredients was not because he was worried that Yan Bugui knew the amounts of various ingredients, but because he didn't want to do it himself.

Of course, the third aunt was not aware of this. She walked into the kitchen and saw all kinds of ingredients placed on the stove, but she was wondering how much Li Guoqiang had hidden.

Then, just as she was about to look around, the first and second aunts who had heard the news also rushed over.

Seeing this situation, she could only secretly sigh that it was a pity, and then started to wash the ingredients with the first and second aunts.

In fact, when these ingredients were taken out of the small world, the dirt attached to them had already been cleaned off by Li Guoqiang. Now asking the three aunts and others to help clean them was just for show.

By the time they had finished washing all the ingredients, Sha Zhu had just rushed back from the steel mill with Liu Lan.

Afterwards, when he saw the washed ingredients, his eyes lit up instantly. At the same time, he was also amazed at the way Li Guoqiang got the supplies.

When other people see these ingredients, they may only be able to tell whether they are fresh, but he can see how good the quality of these ingredients is.

To put it bluntly, even if you search the entire city, you probably won’t find any ingredients that can compare with these.

I don’t know where Li Guoqiang got it from?

Could it be that the output outside the Great Wall is really that good?
After thinking for a while, Sha Zhu still couldn't figure it out. Seeing that it was getting late, he could only put this question aside for the time being and decide on the next menu based on these ingredients.

Then, he instructed Liu Lan and the three aunts about the ingredients, condiments and tableware that needed to be prepared, and also gave Li Guoqiang a copy of the menu.

Li Guoqiang took a look at the menu and immediately found that Sha Zhu had prepared a table of nine dishes and one soup, with the intention of perfection.

In addition, among these nine dishes and one soup, basically all of them are meat dishes.

It can be imagined that when these dishes are served on the table, they will definitely dazzle the eyes of the neighbors in the yard.

Of course, this still can't compare to the wedding banquet he held when he and Luo Huijuan got married.

So he just took a look and nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, he did not stay to help, but rode his tricycle to Xiangmi Zhai to pick up Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others.

When he came back again, before he even walked into the courtyard, he smelled a fresh and tempting aroma.

Moreover, the courtyard, which was originally somewhat empty, has now been filled with round tables and neighbors.

Seeing this, Luo Huijuan hurriedly handed the child to Yao Meilan, Shang Xiuzhen and others to take care of, then ran into her own room, took out bags of candy and melon seeds, etc., and shared them with everyone.

Li Guoqiang went to the kitchen himself and made several pots of premium jasmine tea for everyone.

Soon, the whole courtyard was filled with the aroma of meat and tea, making people drool.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the aroma of meat and tea became stronger.

After Li Guoqiang greeted the guests, he looked around and his brows slowly frowned.

Then, he found Yao Meilan who was helping to look after the children and asked softly, "Mom, have you seen Xiaofu and Yanzi come back?"

"No ah!"

Yao Meilan heard this and responded casually at first, then suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "You mean, the couple hasn't come back yet?"

"Yup!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then said with some concern: "I originally thought that Xiaofu might have been late in delivering the letter, but now it's almost dark, and I haven't seen them come back. Could something have happened?"

"That"

When Yao Meilan heard this, she couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up quickly and said, "Then I'll go to the textile factory and take a look."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave when Li Guoqiang grabbed her arm.

"Mom, why don't I go? I can go faster!"

"Okay! Then you have to hurry up, Yan Zi is still pregnant! Nothing can go wrong."

Hearing what Li Guoqiang said, Yao Meilan did not object. She hurriedly gave him a warning and then watched Li Guoqiang walk out.

After walking out of the room, Li Guoqiang first explained everything to Luo Huijuan, Sha Zhu and the third uncle respectively, and then hurriedly left the courtyard on his tricycle.
