Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 493 Look at Your Ability
After he finished speaking, Liang Xianglian, Erniu, Sanwazi and the others all fell into silence.

Among them, Erniu and Sanwazi are particularly special. They were born and raised in these deep mountains.

They are both curious and afraid of the outside world.

Not to mention, this is Hong Kong, thousands of kilometers away.

Moreover, Li Guoqiang also said that he would not always be with them and they would need to rely on themselves to live there.

As a result, they were really unsure and naturally did not dare to agree easily.

"fine!"

Li Guoqiang was not surprised to see this. He smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "There is no rush for this matter. Think about it carefully first and tell me when you have made a decision."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liang Xianglian, Erniu and Sanwazi relaxed to a degree that was visibly visible to the naked eye.

Afterwards, they looked at each other, and Liang Xianglian spoke up, "Qiangzi, logically speaking, we are all your people, and we should do whatever you want us to do.

It’s just that we have lived here for more than ten years, and we have become accustomed to it. If you suddenly ask us to live in a place called Hong Kong, we really don’t know what to do.

Apart from anything else, I believe that what people over there say is definitely different from what we say here.

By then, we won’t even understand what they say, so how are we going to survive there?”

"Ah!"

After listening to this, Li Guoqiang chuckled and said confidently, "Don't worry, since I can say that I want to take you there, I will naturally consider all these issues.

Moreover, although you are used to living here, you can't stay here forever, right?
Also, if you don’t have a household registration here and want to live outside, you must first find a way to get a household registration.

In this case, why not go directly to Xiangjiang?"

After saying this, his eyes gently swept across the faces of Liang Xianglian, Erniu, Sanwazi and others, and it was obvious to see the conflicted expressions on their faces.

After a while, Liang Xianglian slowly exhaled, then turned to look at Erniu and Sanwazi, and said in a deep voice: "You all heard what I said just now. To be honest, I'm already this old now, and it doesn't matter if I spend the rest of my life here.

But you are different. You still have a long way to go and you can’t stay here forever.

So I think we should just listen to Qiangzi and let him take us to Hong Kong!"

Hearing this, Sanwazi's face instantly showed an eager look, while Erniu looked up at Li Guoqiang and said with a worried look on her face: "Actually, I don't think it matters whether I go to Hong Kong or not. I'm just worried that I won't do well and make you, Qiangzi, embarrassed."

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he laughed and said, "Look at what you said, I won't force you to do anything difficult, even if you don't do anything, I can guarantee that you will have enough food and clothes.

So, you really don’t need to worry about so many things.”

"That's good!"

Erniu felt relieved when she heard what Li Guoqiang said, then nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll listen to you. I'll go wherever you tell me to go and whenever you tell me to go."

"And me, me too!"

When Sanwazi saw that Erniu had agreed, he quickly raised his hand and started shouting.

It was as if he was afraid that it would be too late and he would miss this opportunity to change his fate.

"Row!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then nodded and said, "It's settled then. Wait for me to arrange some things first, and then I'll take you there."

Liang Xianglian, Erniu and Sanwazi naturally had no objection to this and simply nodded in agreement.

Then, Erniu suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "What if we leave, what will happen to this house and the bee farm?"

"fine!"

Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said softly, "This house and the apiary can be handed over to Lao Zhao and his wife to take care of.

If it really doesn't work, they still have a son and daughter-in-law!"

"Isn't that too cheap for them?"

When Erniu heard this, she couldn't help but speak with some indignation.

After all, Zhao Liming almost wiped out their family. Although more than half a year had passed, she had never forgotten it.

"Yup!"

When Sanwazi heard what Erniu said, he immediately nodded and agreed, "This house is so big and nice, I haven't even lived in it myself, how can I let them live in it?

If you ask me, we should lock the door when the time comes so that they can only watch but not live in it.

If that doesn’t work, at worst, I can just lend them the room I live in now.”

When he said this, his face was full of reluctance.

Obviously, in his opinion, Zhao Liming was not worth him giving up that shabby house.

As for Liang Xianglian, she didn't say anything because she knew that if she wanted people to work hard, she had to give them enough benefits, just like feeding livestock.

What's more, they won't be here by then, so what's the point of keeping the house?

Maybe after a few years, the house will be completely eaten by termites.

In this way, instead of making people look at the house with envy and feel resentful, it is better to recycle the waste and make people grateful!
"okay!"

Li Guoqiang saw that Liang Xianglian had no intention of objecting, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He then waved his hand and said, "This house is nothing to me. If I want, I can always build a better one.

Besides, when you go to Hong Kong, the houses you live in will be ten or a hundred times better than here."

"Really?"

When Erniu and Sanwazi heard this, they immediately forgot about arguing with Zhao Liming and instead asked with anticipation on their faces.

In their opinion, the three blue brick and tile houses they live in now can be considered luxury houses, so they can hardly imagine what a house that is ten or a hundred times better than this one would look like?
"of course it's true!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said seriously: "You know, I never lie."

"That"

When Sanwazi heard this, he quickly asked, "Can you tell me what the house looks like?"

After this was said, Erniu and Liang Xianglian looked at Li Guoqiang curiously, obviously wanting to know the answer.

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then said with a smile: "I can't explain it to you clearly for the time being, you should wait until the time comes to see it with your own eyes!"

After saying that, he reached out for the wine glass and took a sip.

However, Liang Xianglian, Erniu, Sanwazi and others were made itchy by his words and they couldn't wait to see the nice house they were about to move into.

However, since Li Guoqiang didn't say anything, they had no choice but to suppress the idea.

Not long after, after finishing the meal, Sanwazi first looked at Li Guoqiang, then at Liang Xianglian and Erniu, then rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Brother Qiangzi, Mom, Sister, I'm going to pick mulberries."

After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.

After a while, he carried a backpack half a person's height on his back and went into the forest.

The reason why he worked so hard was not for anything else but to have Erniu and Liang Xianglian give him a bottle of Coke when he returned with a full load.

However, what he didn't know was that after he left, Erniu and Liang Xianglian immediately went to the bathhouse to boil water, completely forgetting what they had promised him.

Soon, the bathhouse was filled with mist, and two mermaids could be vaguely seen swaying inside.

It lasted until the sun set and finally stopped.

Later, seeing that it was getting late, Li Guoqiang wanted to inspect the private apiary. By the way, he also wanted to explain various precautions to Erniu and Liang Xianglian to avoid any accidents during the hibernation period of the bees.

When the three of them returned from the private apiary, only a hint of sunset glow remained on the horizon.

Moreover, they saw from afar a small figure squatting beside the stream, washing a large basket of bright black and red mulberries.

Seeing this, they hurried forward and asked in surprise, "Sanwazi, did you pick all these mulberries by yourself?"

"Yup!"

When Sanwazi heard the sound, he looked back, nodded quickly and said, "I picked all these mulberries by myself. How is it? Am I awesome?"

After saying this, he raised his eyebrows somewhat proudly.

"Great!"

Erniu looked at the big basket of mulberries, then looked at Sanwazi's slightly thin body, then she raised her thumbs up with mixed feelings and praised him.

Unknowingly, the younger brother who needed her care and help in everything has grown up.

"You little brat, why are you so stubborn? What if you get hurt?"

When Liang Xianglian saw Sanwaizi's boastful look, instead of praising him, she started to scold him with a worried look on her face.

As she spoke, she pulled the third child over and checked him from head to toe, fearing that he would be crushed by the huge basket of mulberries.

Fortunately, after checking, she found that there was nothing wrong with the third child, and she felt relieved.

"oops!"

Sanwazi was very impatient about this. "Mom, why are you making such a fuss? I'm grown up now and have plenty of strength. These mulberries are not a problem for me. Don't worry about it!"

After saying this, he raised his chin slightly and acted as if he was very impressive, completely forgetting how much effort he had put in to carry this large basket of mulberries back from the forest.

"You are awesome!"

Upon seeing this, Liang Xianglian immediately gave Sanwazi a slap in annoyance.

Then, she looked at the third child who was almost as tall as her shoulders, and her mood suddenly became a little complicated.

Just half a year ago, she was a little worried about what would happen to her third child after she died because she was still so young.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this brat's strength was almost catching up with hers.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

When Sanwazi was hit on the head by Liang Xianglian, he couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, then hurriedly ran behind Li Guoqiang and hid, fearing that Liang Xianglian would continue to beat him up.

When he found that Liang Xianglian did not chase him, he pouted and said indignantly: "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong, why did you hit me?

Besides, I picked so many mulberries and even if I didn't get any credit for it, I still worked hard! Aren't you being too unreasonable?
I was hoping that when you saw these mulberries, you would give me a bottle of Coke!"

When he said this, his tone unconsciously took on a hint of grievance, and his nose felt a little sour.

If Li Guoqiang hadn't been here, he would have probably burst into tears a long time ago.

"All right!"

Li Guoqiang was happy to see Sanwazi's aggrieved look, and then he quickly said to comfort him: "Your mother is just worried that you will get hurt, she didn't mean to hit or scold you.

As for the Coke, I'll take charge and bring you a bottle later so you can drink as much as you want, how about that?"

"Really? That's great!"

When Sanwazi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he immediately held back his tears and was so happy that he jumped up.

This shows how obsessed he is with the taste of Coke.

"Look at what you have accomplished!"

Seeing this, Liang Xianglian couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Afterwards, she did not blame Sanwazi anymore, but walked to the stream and helped wash the mulberries.

At the same time, Erniu received a signal from Li Guoqiang's eyes and hurried back to the house to get a bottle of Coke.

Soon, the third child sat down on a big rock by the stream, drinking Coke happily, as if he had completely forgotten his physical fatigue.

Seeing him like this, Erniu rolled her eyes in annoyance, then suppressed the craving in her stomach and walked to Liang Xianglian to help with the work.

When they had washed all the mulberries, they looked back and found that there was still a lot of Coke left in Sanwazi's hand, as if he had left it there on purpose to tempt them.

So, they looked at each other and happily decided to take a bottle each and drink it later, so as to finish the dozen bottles of Coke as soon as possible, so that Sanwazi wouldn't be worried about it all the time.

At this time, Sanwazi had no idea that his behavior of drinking sparingly would irritate Liang Xianglian and Erniu, and he was still there slowly enjoying the wonderful taste of Coke.

It was not until Li Guoqiang said he was leaving that he suddenly came to his senses, and then he hurried to Li Guoqiang and asked expectantly: "Brother Qiangzi, when will you come over next time?"
