Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 536 Sun Jiashan prepared a great gift for Li Guoqiang
"Qiangzi, you are really amazing. I originally thought that it would take at least four or five months to complete the goal of 100 boxes of bees for each production team! But in less than three months, you and your team have completed it."

In the carriage, Xu Guangfu patted Li Guoqiang's shoulder with excitement, and then praised him with some admiration.

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang just smiled and did not respond.

To him, such a small matter is not worth mentioning at all.

If he wasn't worried about being too shocking, he could get back all the hundreds of boxes of bees with a wave of his hand.

Moreover, even though so many boxes of bees were brought back, there are still more than a hundred boxes of bees at the private apiary, left there for Zhao Liming to help look after!
At this time, Xu Yuchang and Sun Maocai, who were sitting behind them, looked at Xu Guangfu and Li Guoqiang, then looked at the row of five large carriages behind them. They were truly convinced of Li Guoqiang's ability to get things done.

Once upon a time, they were still worried that their own production team would suffer losses and would not have the opportunity to set up a third apiary.

However, nowadays, just one thousand boxes of bees sent to those ten production brigades can bring hundreds of thousands of profits to their production brigades in the next five years.

This means that their lives for the next five years will be relatively well secured.

If they add the income from their own bee farm and Xiangmi Zhai, they simply can’t imagine how prosperous the future will be.
I'm afraid that by then even the senior workers in the city won't be living as well as they do!

After all, although senior workers in the city have higher salaries, that is only for one person, while in their production team, all the people get dividends!

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but admire Xu Guangfu's vision, and at the same time, they felt a little ashamed of some of their previous little thoughts.

While they were having endless fantasies about their beautiful life in the future, Li Guoqiang was also thinking about what he would do next.

Since he has decided to take his wife, children and family to Hong Kong to start a new life, he must first find a way to arrange things in Jinshanbao.

Among them, the most important one, of course, is the project of contracting bee breeding.

This project can not only bring stable income to many farmers, but also allow people like Xu Guangfu, Xu Yuchang and Sun Maocai to make further progress in officialdom. It all depends on how they manage it.

In addition, with such a project that can lay golden eggs, he will be able to ask the county to establish a beekeeping technology research base with people in the mountains.

Then, he could use this excuse to arrange Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others, as well as Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, and even Li Dawei, Yao Meilan and others, all to this beekeeping technology research base to cover up the fact that they went to live in Hong Kong.

In this way, as long as he could bring some people back to Jinshan Fort from time to time to show up, he could give people the impression that he had been staying in the mountains doing technical research.

Moreover, even if someone from above suddenly came to visit, he could let Zhao Liming and others who stayed at the private apiary deal with it first, and then he could respond accordingly.

However, before that, he had to let the people in the ten production brigades and the county leaders see the tangible benefits brought by the apiary.

Soon, as the carriage kept moving, their group successfully arrived at the nearest Sunjiashan Production Brigade, and saw Xu Laosan and Sun Yanmei, who had been waiting at the village entrance, as well as Brigade Leader Sun Dezhuo and some other brigade cadres.

"Qiangzi, Qiangzi, we are here!"

When Xu Laosan and Sun Yanmei saw Li Guoqiang coming in a carriage, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they waved at Li Guoqiang excitedly, as if they didn't notice Xu Guangfu, Xu Yuchang and Sun Maocai sitting next to them.

Seeing them like this, Sun Dezhu and other brigade cadres all looked towards Li Guoqiang sitting in the carriage, and then their eyes lit up, and they were all attracted by Li Guoqiang's tall and handsome appearance.

What a handsome young man!

Is he the legendary God of Wealth who makes the villagers of Jinshanbao live a good life?

This looks too young!
Not long after, amid the sighs of Sun Dezhu and other brigade cadres, the carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the village.

Immediately, Li Guoqiang jumped out of the car and reached out to help Xu Guangfu.

As for Xu Yuchang and Sun Maocai, they could only jump off the carriage by themselves.

However, they did not pay attention to this little thing at this time. They all raised their heads and followed Li Guoqiang and Xu Guangfu, then looked at Sun Dezhu and others with anticipation, as if waiting for their flattery and praise.

"Qiangzi, you are amazing, aren't you? In less than three months, you sent so many boxes of bees that they set up two apiaries in one go."

Without waiting for Li Guoqiang and Xu Guangfu to approach, Xu Laosan and Sun Yanmei hurriedly got ahead of Sun Dezhuo and others, came forward, gave a thumbs up and started to praise, as if they were afraid that others didn't know that they had a good relationship with Li Guoqiang.

At the same time, their eyes looking at Li Guoqiang were full of gratitude.

If it weren't for Li Guoqiang's help in setting up the bee farm, they would probably still be struggling to make ends meet! How could they be like this now, not having to worry about food and drink, and being able to stand up straight in front of their family!
Moreover, they have been working as technical instructors in the Sunjiashan Production Brigade for more than two months, and they are flattered every day. It feels so great to be so powerful.

Just when they wanted to exchange some more pleasantries with Li Guoqiang, Sun Dezhu's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Oh! You are Comrade Li Guoqiang! Thank you for your great contribution to our Sunjiashan and other production brigades. On behalf of all members of our Sunjiashan, I bow to you and express my gratitude."

After saying that, Sun Dezhu bowed deeply to Li Guoqiang in front of everyone, his face full of sincerity from the bottom of his heart.

You know, up to now, Sunjiashan has successfully built two apiaries.

According to the revenue obtained by Jinshanbao last year, these two bee farms can at least bring hundreds of yuan of revenue to each person in Sunjiashan a year, and there may even be a little more.
In this way, the people of Sunjiashan will be able to live a good life with no worries about food and clothing, just like the people of Jinshanbao.

It can be said that Li Guoqiang has a great favor to them.

That is to say, now that we have entered a new society, feudal and superstitious activities are not allowed. Otherwise, Sun Dezhu would have to call on the villagers to offer a tablet for Li Guoqiang at home.

However, even so, Sun Dezhu had already discussed with the brigade cadres and decided that this time they must entertain Li Guoqiang with the utmost sincerity.

In addition to the usual hospitality activities such as eating and drinking, they also called the most beautiful girls in the village to the brigade headquarters based on the information they heard from various sources, and asked them to serve Li Guoqiang. If Li Guoqiang liked any of them, they would do ideological work on the parents and family members of the girl and ask Li Guoqiang to take the girl away.

Although doing so may seem a bit unfair to these good girls, it is worth it if I can exchange them for a better life for the entire village.

What's more, after hearing that all the girls who followed Li Guoqiang were taken to the city by Li Guoqiang to enjoy a good life, the unmarried girls in their village were like wild boars seeing a corn field, almost drooling.

Otherwise, they would not dare to make such an extreme decision.

At this time, Li Guoqiang didn't know that the brigade cadres of Sunjiashan had already prepared an unspeakable gift for him.

After briefly greeting Sun Dezhu and others, he gave the home court to Xu Guangfu, with no intention of getting closer to Sun Dezhu and others.

Seeing this situation, Sun Dezhuo and others couldn't help but feel a little uneasy for a moment, wondering what made Li Guoqiang dissatisfied.

Little did they know that all this was because Li Guoqiang had already decided to live in Hong Kong, so he did not want to make the relationship too complicated and thus get involved in some unnecessary trouble.

Xu Guangfu saw that Li Guoqiang was not in a very good mood and did not exchange excessive politeness with Sun Dezhuo and the others. After a brief greeting, he asked Sun Dezhuo and the others to lead the way, and then took Li Guoqiang and the others into the carriage, ready to transport the last batch of beehives to the apiary, and asked Li Guoqiang to help check if there were any problems.

Soon, their group walked into the village, and in a short while, they attracted many villagers to watch and follow them.

Fortunately, most of the villagers have gone to work, and only some elderly people and younger children are left at home. Otherwise, there would be chaos.

They followed like this all the way, until the carriage reached the apiary at the foot of the mountain behind the village. Only then did the villagers who were following behind stop following after being loudly scolded by the brigade cadres such as Sun Dezhuo.

But Li Guoqiang didn't care much about it.

While asking Xu Guangfu to arrange the unloading of ten beehives for the Sunjiashan Production Brigade, he walked towards the beekeeping area.

When Sun Dezhu saw Li Guoqiang walking towards the beekeeping area without wearing any protective gear, he couldn't help but want to step forward to stop him.

However, before he could catch up, he saw Li Guoqiang stop, reach out and open a beehive, then put his face forward to take a closer look.

Just when he thought that Li Guoqiang would be stung all over the face by bees, he was suddenly surprised to find that none of the bees dared to fly to Li Guoqiang, let alone sting him.

What exactly is going on?

After a while, before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Li Guoqiang casually cover the beehive again, then walk to another beehive and repeat the previous operation.

Moreover, those flying bees still did not land on Li Guoqiang.

Seeing this situation, Sun Dezhu immediately realized that he was just worrying about nothing, and then he couldn't help but admire Li Guoqiang.

No wonder no one else was capable of building this apiary, but Li Guoqiang did it.

It turns out that this is all because of real ability!

Soon, with everyone helping, the ten boxes of beehives were lifted off the carriage, and then placed one by one according to the planned locations.

At the same time, Li Guoqiang also used the help of the small world to carefully check the situation of the first apiary, and then told Xu Laosan and Sun Yanmei about some minor problems he found, asking them to guide the bee breeders in Sunjiashan to correct them.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by brigade cadres such as Sun Dezhuo, he went to the second apiary and repeated the previous operations.

After all the problems were identified and corresponding solutions were given, he went to the brigade headquarters at the repeated invitation of brigade cadres such as Sun Dezhuo.

Then, as soon as he sat down, he said to Sun Dezhu: "Captain Sun, when I was checking the beehives just now, I also saw the accumulated honey inside. If the weather is good in the future, we should be able to harvest the first batch of honey in more than half a month."

"Really, that's really great!"

When Sun Dezhu heard this, he was so surprised that he almost jumped up from the kang.

Although they could hear and see that the people in Jinshanbao were really living a good life, they would not be at peace until they made money from harvesting honey.

Now that he heard what Li Guoqiang said, he could finally sleep peacefully.

"When the time comes, the county will arrange for people to come to your bee farm to harvest honey, and then increase the price by 20% based on the purchase station's price to settle with you. The money will be directly deposited into your brigade's public account."

Li Guoqiang found it funny to see that Sun Dezhuo, despite his age, was behaving like a kid who had eaten candy. Then he explained the arrangements for harvesting honey and settling accounts to prevent the people in Sunjiashan from worrying.

"No problem, no problem. Just tell us how you need our cooperation when the time comes!"

When Sun Dezhu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded and agreed.

Originally, their team did not invest much money to set up the two apiaries, and they were already quite satisfied to be able to follow the price at the purchasing station, not to mention that the price was 20% higher.

If it weren't for the fact that the money had to be paid into the public account and there couldn't be any fraud, he would have wanted to take the initiative to lower the price and then give Li Guoqiang some kickbacks.

In his joy, he quickly winked at other team leaders, and someone immediately ran out to urge them.

Soon after, seven or eight pretty girls with outstanding figures and cool clothes came in one after another, carrying pots of delicious food, which made Xu Yuliang, Sun Maocai and others stare with their eyes wide open.
