Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 502 Feeling proud
In the blink of an eye, it was early morning of the next day.

The villagers of Jinshanbao were still in their sweet dreams when they were awakened by the rumbling sound of carriages and the clattering of horse hooves.

Then, with the sound of a gong, the homes of the villagers who were selected to be technical instructors suddenly became noisy.

In an instant, shouting, cursing, slandering, crying, urging, and yelling came one after another, it was so lively.

Soon, five horse-drawn carriages stopped one after another at the threshing ground, and a figure who was very familiar to the villagers of Jinshanbao jumped out from the carriage.

"Hey! Uncle Fu, why did you come here in person?"

When Xu Yuliang saw the person coming, his eyes lit up, and he hurried forward, smiling and saying hello.

"What? You don't welcome me?"

Xu Guangfu glanced at Xu Yuliang, then spoke expressionlessly.

"How can this be possible? Please don't make fun of me, old man. If everyone heard this, they would eat me alive!"

Xu Yuliang's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly begged for mercy.

After saying this, he looked at Xu Guangfu with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Logically speaking, he was Xu Guangfu's nephew and was promoted to the position of team leader by Xu Guangfu himself. Why would he suddenly become so cold to him?

Could it be that Xu Guangfu already knew that he had intended to deal with Li Guoqiang before?

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat and his back felt a little cold.

After all, Xu Guangfu is not Li Guoqiang. If Li Guoqiang wanted to get rid of him, he would have to use the matter of the apiary to make a fuss, but if Xu Guangfu wanted to get rid of him, he only needed to say a few words.

"Look at what you have accomplished!"

When Xu Guangfu saw Xu Yuliang like this, his face darkened, and then he said with dissatisfaction: "What did I tell you at the beginning? I said that being the captain of Jinshan Fort is not as important as stabilizing Qiangzi.

What was the result? What did you do? You actually wanted to force Qiangzi to follow your instructions?
Who do you think you are? How can you do such a thing with your ugly appearance?
If it weren't for the fact that you are also from the Xu family, I would destroy you right now, do you believe it?"

"I believe it, I believe it!"

When Xu Yuliang heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he nodded hurriedly and said, "Uncle Fu, calm down first and let me explain to you.

I was just blinded by greed at the time, so I did such a foolish thing.

But don't worry, I have already made things clear to Qiangzi, and I will listen to him no matter what happens in the future."

"okay!"

Seeing that Xu Yuliang really knew he was wrong, Xu Guangfu's expression eased, then he waved his hand and said with some disdain: "Whatever you do is your own business, I just hope that no matter what you do, you should first consider the consequences of doing so.

Don’t make a big mess by then, or it will be too late to regret it.”

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuliang nodded hurriedly and said, "I will definitely follow your instructions in the future and think more about everything. I won't be so confused again."

After he finished speaking, he saw a satisfied smile on Xu Guangfu's face, and he finally felt relieved.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Xu Guangfu hesitantly.

"Are you asking me how I know this?"

As soon as Xu Guangfu saw Xu Yuliang's expression, he knew what the other party was thinking.

"Yup!"

Xu Yuliang saw that Xu Guangfu had seen through his thoughts, and he didn't want to hide it. He just nodded and said, "You are busy with all kinds of things now, and you don't live in this village. How did you know about this so quickly?"

"Of course someone told me that!"

Xu Guangfu was delighted, then he laughed and spoke.

"Who? Who told you?"

Xu Yuliang's eyes narrowed, and then he asked impatiently.

As he spoke, the figures of Sun Maocai, Ma Changshun, Ma Chunmei and others kept flashing through his mind, and he wanted to know who was stabbing him in the back.

"okay!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't make blind guesses. This was all told to me by our Xiuqin."

"Xiuqin?"

When Xu Yuliang heard the answer, he was stunned for a moment. Then, looking at Xu Guangfu's meaningful gaze, he gradually came to his senses.

Originally, he thought that it was Sun Maocai, Ma Changshun and others who wanted to take this opportunity to bring him down, but he didn't expect that it would be Li Xiuqin, his own people!
However, think about it, as Xu Guangfu's daughter-in-law and the team leader of the bee farm, Li Xiuqin naturally has to tell Xu Guangfu what happened in the village in a timely manner.

This made him feel relieved and fortunate.

Fortunately, he had already come to his senses and no longer thought about competing with Li Guoqiang. Otherwise, even if Li Guoqiang did not take action, Xu Guangfu would have taken action to remove him as the team leader.

Just when he was thinking about letting his wife interact more with Li Xiuqin in the future and asking Li Xiuqin to say more good things about her in front of Xu Guangfu, the villagers who were selected to be technical instructors also came to the threshing ground one after another with their luggage.

In addition, some villagers who were not selected also came to watch the fun.

When they saw the row of five large carriages, they were all stunned for a moment.

After all, there were only 20 selected villagers in total, and two large carriages like this would be enough to accommodate all of them.

Who would have thought that Xu Guangfu would actually arrange five large carriages.

Could it be that they were planning to let the four of them ride in one car?
Thinking of this possibility, everyone couldn't help but feel envious.

Only a small number of people thought more comprehensively and knew that Xu Guangfu arranged five large horse-drawn carriages to come, on the one hand for the sake of the county's face, and on the other hand to be able to send people to the ten production brigades as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if we deliver them one place at a time, how long will it take to deliver them? "Well, everyone is here! Whoever's name I call will get on the carriage with his or her man!"

Not long after, Xu Guangfu saw that most people had arrived, so he stood beside the carriage and shouted loudly.

Soon, according to his arrangement, the 20 villagers who were ready to set off boarded the carriages, and also knew where the production team they were going to guide was.

It was not known whether it was a coincidence or an intentional arrangement by Xu Yuliang, Sun Maocai and others, but three of the selected women were sent to the production brigade that was their mother's home.
This made them suddenly stand up, and they hurriedly asked their family members who were watching nearby to run back home to get more food and money.

In response, Xu Guangfu did not speak out to stop it, but instead seemed to be happy to see it happen.

As the saying goes, if you don't return home in splendor, it's like walking in splendor at night.

Moreover, this will also allow the ten production brigades to see what a great thing beekeeping is.

This went on for a while, and when the sun came out from the horizon, the convoy finally turned around and started off.

Seeing this, Xu Yuliang hurriedly asked someone to light the firecrackers that had been prepared.

With a burst of "crackling" firecrackers, the Chang County contracted bee breeding project was officially kicked off.

After seeing off the convoy, the villagers of Jinshanbao slowly returned to their normal pace of life. Those who wanted to work in the fields went to work, and those who wanted to work in the apiary went to work in the apiary.

There are also older people and younger children who are not idle either.

Either they help to cut grass for pigs, collect firewood, or dig wild vegetables, or they fiddle with their own small private plots.

All in all, there is basically no idleness.

On the one hand, this is because people now have a goal in life, so they will be more proactive in doing things.

On the other hand, it was because of the brigade's regulations that, except for the dividends from the apiary which were calculated based on the output of the beehives contracted and raised by each household, the dividends from Xiangmi Zhai needed to be distributed based on the number of people and work points.

Therefore, anyone with a normal mind would not refuse a huge dividend and choose to be an idle and despised lazy person.

Soon, it was already past ten in the morning.

On this side, Li Guoqiang was leading his men in the mountains, continuing to dig wild beehives. On the other side, Xu Guangfu also brought a horse-drawn carriage to Sunjiashan, the production brigade closest to Jinshanbao.

Moreover, before they even entered the village, they ran into several brigade cadres standing by the roadside.

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu immediately asked the coachman to stop the carriage, then jumped off and walked over.

"Hey! Director Xu, why did you come in person? I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person! I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

When Zhangjiashan team leader Sun Dezhuo saw Xu Guangfu, he was shocked, then hurriedly led other team cadres to greet him and spoke enthusiastically.

"Okay, Lao Sun, stop talking nonsense to me. I'm here to send a technical instructor to your production team. You have to let people follow and learn well!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu hurriedly waved his hands, and then spoke in a somewhat unhappily tone.

As he spoke, he did not forget to point to Xu Laosan and Sun Yanhong, a couple who were carrying their luggage down from the carriage.

Sun Dezhu looked over and saw Xu Laosan and Sun Yanhong. His eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly walked over and greeted them enthusiastically, "Hey, aren't these the eldest daughter and son-in-law of the Lao Gen family? If I had known that you were coming to serve as technical instructors for our production team, I would have sent someone to invite you over!"

"Uncle Dezhu, you're welcome. I just found out this morning that we were coming here!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yanhong quickly spoke up, her face full of satisfaction and pride.

If she had known that she would be returning to her mother's hometown, Sunjiashan, to be a technical instructor, she would have signed up even without those hidden benefits and the one dollar subsidy per day!
Not for anything else, just to be able to hold her head high in front of her family members.

Although Xu Laosan did not say anything, he felt very happy when he saw the warm smile on Sun Dezhuo's face and the proud look on his wife's face.

Afterwards, he thought that it was all thanks to Li Guoqiang that he could have this day, and he couldn't help but feel grateful to Li Guoqiang.

If Li Guoqiang had not helped to set up the apiary, if Li Guoqiang had not arranged for his wife to work in the apiary, then how long would he have to wait before he could hold his head up high in his father-in-law's house!
Soon, several other brigade cadres from Sunjiashan also gathered around and greeted Xu Laosan and Sun Yanhong. Their words were full of enthusiasm and familiarity, as if they had met their own family members.

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu raised his lips slightly, then hurried forward and said, "Hey, Old Sun! I have sent the person to you now. If there is no problem, I will leave first."

After saying this, he turned and walked towards the carriage.

However, before he took a few steps, he was stopped by Sun Dezhu.

"Hey, Director Xu, you finally came here, you should at least drink some water before you leave, right? If this gets out, people will think that all of us in Sunjiashan are ungrateful!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several other brigade cadres also hurriedly spoke up to agree, looking at Xu Guangfu with some eager eyes.

"Old Sun, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't have time right now. Look, there are people on this carriage who need to be sent to other production teams!"

When Xu Guangfu saw this situation, he hurriedly explained.

"Okay then! If you have time in the future, you must come over and give us some guidance on our work! Then I'll have a few drinks with you!"

Sun Dezhu glanced at the couple sitting in the carriage, then spoke with some regret.

After saying that, he did not let go, but helped Xu Guangfu get into the carriage very attentively.

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu smiled slightly, and without saying anything more, he directly signaled the driver to whip the horse and set off.

Soon, with Sun Dezhuo, Xu Laosan, Sun Yanmei and several other brigade cadres watching, the carriage gradually disappeared on the mountain road.

Then, Sun Dezhu seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly asked someone to notify Xu Laosan's father-in-law and mother-in-law in advance to prepare to welcome the distinguished guests. At the same time, he took Xu Laosan and Sun Yanmei into the village with enthusiasm on his face.

The other team leaders not only did not think that Sun Dezhu's behavior was too shameful, but they also rushed to inform Xu Laosan's father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After all, now the whole Chang County basically knows that Jinshanbao has made good use of the bee farm, and every household has received a huge sum of thousands of yuan, thus living a good life that they could not have imagined in previous years.

Their Sunjiashan Production Brigade, with great difficulty, had obtained a spot in a pilot contract for beekeeping thanks to its excellent geographical environment, so they had to hold on to it!

Therefore, let alone asking them to humble themselves and greet Xu Laosan and Sun Yanmei, even if they were asked to personally serve tea and water to Xu Laosan and Sun Yanmei, they would not have the slightest complaint.

They even have to rush to learn the beekeeping techniques that can make them rich from Xu Laosan and Sun Yanmei!
