Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 504 Missing a child
"Come on, sister Hongying, I've blocked the hole, can you try blowing some smoke?"

"to make!"

"Okay, there's no smoke coming out of this side, let's go over there and wait to collect the queen bee!"

"Got it!"

Not long after, with the cooperation of Li Xiuqin, Ma Hongying and others, another nest of wild mountains was successfully captured.

Then, they rested for a while, drank some water to replenish their body water, and waited for Li Guoqiang to come back.

"Hey, do you think Qiangzi can catch a silly roe deer today?"

While taking a break, Ma Hongying suddenly asked a question, attracting everyone's attention.

"What's wrong? Didn't you eat enough yesterday?"

Li Xiuqin glanced at Ma Hongying, and then spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

"No! That's not what I meant. I just think that if Qiangzi catches another stupid roe deer today, we can't take his meat anymore."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongying quickly waved her hands and began to explain.

"really!"

"That's right!"

"That's how it should be!"

"Yeah! We can't be so greedy!"

"."

After hearing Ma Hongying's words, everyone immediately spoke in agreement.

After all, on the one hand, the meat is indeed not cheap, and they don’t have the nerve to keep taking advantage of Li Guoqiang.

On the other hand, they were really touched by Li Guoqiang's behavior of eating simple meals and sharing all the meat with them yesterday, and they didn't want Li Guoqiang to treat them badly like this again.

However, while expressing their opinions, they were quite excited and their bodies kept shaking.

In addition, their clothes were basically soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to their bodies.

If a wild boar saw this, it would be so excited that it would die!
After a while, when everyone stopped, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the forest not far away.

As everyone looked over there, they soon saw a tall and heroic figure walking out from the woods.

Those strong and muscular arms and slender and agile thighs make people feel jealous.

Then, their attention was quickly attracted by the seven or eight pheasants in his hands. They hurriedly stood up and ran forward to help, completely ignoring the long braids swinging back and forth.

By the way, when did the concept of bad omens become popular?

Li Guoqiang looked at the dozen or twenty plump and juicy peaches in front of him, and suddenly a question popped up in his mind. He then hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop, fearing that someone would tear their clothes.

When everyone saw Li Guoqiang's actions, although they were a little confused, they still stopped obediently one by one.

It is no exaggeration to say that nowadays, Li Guoqiang’s words are even more effective than the men in their family.

Soon, Li Guoqiang walked to the flat ground where everyone had rested before without changing his expression, and then put down the pheasant and beehive in his hands.

When Li Xiuqin saw it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in surprise: "Qiangzi, how come you brought back three nests of bees at once this time?"

After hearing her words, the others immediately noticed the three sacks on the ground and the buzzing sound inside the sacks.

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly when he heard this, and then explained softly: "I just happened to encounter this when I was catching pheasants."

After saying that, he walked to the other side and carefully checked the beehives received by Li Xiuqin and others. Finding that there was no problem, he asked everyone to get ready and rush to the next beehive.

In fact, the main reason why he brought back three beehives at one time was because he missed his wife and children, so he wanted to finish the task of digging the beehives as soon as possible, and then take time to go back to Sijiu City.

As for whether doing so would arouse other people's suspicion, he didn't really care.

After all, after spending so many days together, the villagers of Jinshanbao have basically formed the impression that he is omnipotent.

Even if he increases the number of cells a little, it won't cause any trouble.

Soon, it was evening.

When the workers who stayed at the apiary saw Li Guoqiang, Ma Hongying and others bringing back 20 nests of bees, their eyes widened.

Then, when they learned that thirteen of the beehives were obtained by Li Guoqiang, they immediately returned to their original state and even started to tease Ma Hongying, Li Xiuqin and others for not being strong enough and only obtaining seven beehives.

From this, it can be seen that they are already somewhat accustomed to Li Guoqiang's various amazing performances.

Perhaps, when they see Li Guoqiang gaining nothing one day, they will think it is abnormal!

As for the pheasants killed by Li Guoqiang, their opinions were consistent with those of Li Xiuqin and others, and they did not have the nerve to take them.

Seeing this situation, Li Guoqiang did not force it. Except for keeping two for his own family, he gave the rest to Xu Guangshou.

The villagers of Jinshanbao had no objection to this. After all, everyone knew that Li Guoqiang was Xu Guangshou's apprentice, and it was only natural for an apprentice to respect his master.

Through this incident, the villagers even gave Li Guoqiang a hat of respecting teachers and being filial, which made his reputation a little more prestigious.

In the blink of an eye, more than a week has passed unknowingly.

Because Li Guoqiang increased the number of honeycombs dug every day, they not only collected enough honeycombs for the second batch, but also for the third batch.

On this day, Xu Guangfu led his team to the Jinshanbao No. 1 apiary to pull out the beehives as usual. He also told Li Guoqiang about the situation of the ten production brigades contracted to raise bees.

Because the location of the apiary and various infrastructure were all built strictly in accordance with Li Guoqiang's requirements, and with the technical instructors sent from Jinshanbao, each production team got off to a very smooth start.

Apart from some personal conflicts over beekeeping quotas, there were no other problems.

After listening to this, Li Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "In this case, I'll go back to the city first!"

"What's wrong? Are you thinking about having a baby?"

Xu Guangfu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then laughed and joked.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then frankly admitted: "I did think about it a little bit, and the beehives found in the mountains during this period have been dug up almost completely, so we need to stop for a while and let the beehives in the mountains recover.

In addition, the beehives at the second apiary will also begin to be divided into groups, and the divided beehives can be used as the third batch for handover."

"Row!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang had already thought it through, Xu Guangfu did not want to object. He simply nodded and agreed, saying, "You can make your own decisions on these matters. When you go back one day, remember to look for me and I will bring you something back." After saying that, he thought of his grandson who looked 70% similar to Li Guoqiang, and he felt a little itchy in his heart. He wished he could go to Sijiu City with Li Guoqiang to take a closer look.

It's a pity that no matter as a director or as the person in charge of the contracted beekeeping project, he can't leave his job easily. He can only hope that Li Guoqiang can bring the child back in the future.

Soon, he led a convoy to deliver honeycombs to the ten production brigades.

Li Guoqiang found Xu Yuliang and told him about his plan to return to Sijiu City and the arrangements for the fourth batch of hives.

After hearing this, Xu Yuliang nodded in agreement without thinking, and even took over the responsibility of supervising the work of the apiary.

This made Li Guoqiang very satisfied, and he did Xu Yuliang a favor, saying that when he came back, he would take Xu Yuliang to inspect the ten production brigades so that he could feel the pleasure of being praised.

When Xu Yuliang heard this, his eyes lit up instantly and his heart was full of anticipation.

After all, he had heard that those villagers who went to work as technical instructors were treated like landlords and were served by others every day.

If he could follow Li Guoqiang, the chief technician of the apiary, to visit the ten production brigades, he would be admired by everyone!
By then, let’s not even talk about how much it will help improve his reputation, just this treatment alone will be enough for him to brag about it for the rest of his life.

So, he very tactfully took over the task of going to Majiadian Commune to get the certificate, so that Li Guoqiang wouldn't have to make a special trip there.

Then, he asked Li Guoqiang to let him know before leaving so that he could arrange for Old Sun to drive him there on a donkey cart.

In response, Li Guoqiang did not bother to be polite with Xu Yuliang. He nodded and agreed very readily. Then he went to notify the workers at the apiary to suspend going into the mountains to dig hives. By the way, he organized an intensive training on beekeeping technology to avoid any problems from occurring during his absence.

I was busy all day long, and by the time the sun set, everything I needed to do was almost done.

Next, he just needed to find time to go to the villa in the mountains to deal with the matters at the private apiary, and then take Liang Xianglian, Erniu and Sanwazi away.

"Brother Qiangzi, are you going back to the city?"

That night, after dinner, Zhu Caixia suddenly came up to Li Guoqiang and asked with reluctance on her face.

"Yup!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then reached out and rubbed the other person's head, and said softly: "I have been back here for more than a month, I have to go back to see the child!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Caixia nodded, and then said with some envy: "Sister Juanzi and Sister Xiuzhen are so happy!"

"Ah!"

When Li Guoqiang heard Zhu Caixia say this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, then he laughed and said comfortingly: "It's okay, you will definitely live a happy life in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Caixia immediately understood what Li Guoqiang meant, and then she stared at Li Guoqiang with eyes full of resentment.

If you don’t know, you would think that she was abandoned by Li Guoqiang!
"Don't look at me like that!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang said helplessly, "I am doing this for your own good. You are still young and have a long way to go. I hope you can find your own way and live a wonderful life."

"I do not!"

Zhu Caixia shook her head after hearing this, and then said with a firm face: "I don't want to walk my own path. I want to follow you and follow you for the rest of my life."

"you"

When Li Guoqiang heard this answer, he was choked and speechless.

Fortunately, he was almost used to Zhu Caixia's persistence and willfulness, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You are still young and have a lot of time to think about it. When you really figure it out, you will know what you really want."

After saying that, he didn't care what Zhu Caixia thought and just stood up and walked out.

Zhu Caixia looked at Li Guoqiang's leaving back and did not continue to pester him, but her eyes showed a very determined look.

Obviously, what Li Guoqiang said to her just now had no effect at all, and even made her more determined in her thoughts.

Just because she didn't want to make Li Guoqiang angry, she didn't pester him as much as before.

She believed that as long as she persisted, sooner or later she would be able to convince Li Guoqiang to let her stay.

I have to say that her thoughts and actions are much more mature than before.

If she could really persist for ten years, then Li Guoqiang might not be able to bear the heart to refuse!

Soon, it was late at night.

Li Guoqiang waited until Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen and Zhu Caiyan fell asleep, so he used teleportation to go to a villa in the mountains.

Perhaps it was because he had said he would come over in the next few days when he had taken the time to come here before, at this moment, the villa deep in the mountains was brightly lit.

From a distance, it looks like a paradise deep in the mountains.

Moreover, as soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Liang Xianglian and Erniu running out of the house one after another.

"Hadron!"

"Brother Qiangzi, you are here!"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang looked at the two beautiful people, one big and one small, in front of him, and raised his lips slightly. Then he nodded and said, "I came here to take you away this time!"

"So fast?"

When Liang Xianglian and Erniu heard this, they were immediately shocked.

Originally, they were thinking that they would at least have to wait until Li Guoqiang finished the affairs of Jinshan Fort and collected the output of this year's private apiary before he would bring them to Hong Kong!
As a result, they didn't expect that this day would come so soon, so soon that they were not mentally prepared at all.

"What? Didn't you already agree to it?"

When Li Guoqiang saw Liang Xianglian and Erniu's reactions, he raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion.

"no!"

When Liang Xianglian heard this, she quickly waved her hands and explained, "It's not that we don't want to, we just think it's a bit too rushed."

"Yup!"

When Erniu heard Liang Xianglian's words, she nodded and said, "We haven't packed anything yet!"

"fine!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly after hearing this, then waved his hand and said, "I'll help you clean up later."

"???"

When Liang Xianglian and Erniu heard what Li Guoqiang said, they all showed a look of confusion on their faces, not understanding what Li Guoqiang meant.
