Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 242 It's better not to attack him

Under the cover of night, the entire Jinshanbao Production Brigade was silent and quiet.

Suddenly, a neighing sound came from the stable not far from the entrance.

Then, two horse lanterns were seen swaying, floating into the village road one after the other.

Then there were some tapping and gurgling sounds.

When I got closer, I saw that they were a donkey cart and a mule cart, with an old man and a young boy sitting on each of the carts, with a faint smile on their faces.

After a while, they drove the donkey carts and mule carts through the village and headed straight for the back mountain.

When passing by Li Guoqiang's house, they did not forget to turn their heads to take a look, their eyes full of admiration and envy.

Once upon a time, in their eyes, Li Guoqiang was just a weakling from the city, but who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Li Guoqiang had become the popular God of Wealth in their village!
When they arrived at the No. 1 apiary, Xu Yuchang, Shang Xiuzhen and others, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly loaded large baskets full of honey combs and brand new shoulder poles onto the car, and then tied them up tightly with ropes.

At the same time, Li Guoqiang also drove a sika deer cart from home, bringing Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others over.

After more than half a year of feeding, the original little elk has already grown into a big elk.

Moreover, when he went into the mountains to dig beehives before, he also received an extra reward of ten large elk. Then he selected one, led it back from the mountains, and told others that it was just caught.

Then he went to the city to buy some bearing parts and built a super-large cart by himself, which he put on two big elk, so that it could easily carry two to three thousand kilograms of cargo.

When brigade cadres such as Xu Guangfu and Sun Maocai saw this, they immediately added a handlebar-style load to Li Guoqiang's shoulders. Whenever there was a heavier transportation task, they asked Li Guoqiang to pull the sika deer cart over, which allowed Li Guoqiang to earn a lot of work points.

After he arrives in Beijing, this temporary burden will be transferred to Xu Yuping's shoulders, which will increase her income and provide her with a little support, so that she will not be easily bullied.

Not long after, he parked the sika deer cart in front of the gate of the apiary, then stretched out his hand to support the cart, jumped off the cart and walked into the yard.

The next moment, Xu Yuchang came up with sweat all over his forehead and an excited look on his face.

"Qiangzi, you are here!"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded and agreed, then he looked at the donkey cart and mule cart and found that the goods were almost loaded. Then he said, "Brother Chang, you and Sun Jinda will each take a cart, and the others will take my cart with their luggage."

"Got it!"

Xu Yuchang was slightly stunned, then quickly nodded and agreed, then turned and ran towards Sun Jinda.

Although he and Sun Jinda have never gotten along well, at such a critical moment, he would not be so stupid as to throw a childish tantrum at Li Guoqiang.

Seeing Xu Yuchang being so obedient, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction on his face.

As long as Xu Yuchang doesn't make trouble with him, he doesn't have to worry about Sun Jinda causing any trouble.

Even if Sun Jinda dared to disobey, he could drive him back in a minute, and even Sun Maocai would not dare to say anything.

And this is the power and prestige he now possesses.

Soon, everyone started moving according to his instructions. Except for Xu Yuchang and Sun Jinda who sat on the donkey cart and mule cart respectively, everyone else sat on the saddle cart with a happy look on their faces.

When everything was arranged, Li Guoqiang waved the whip in his hand, and the two tamed sika deer immediately started walking towards the village.

Seeing this, Lao Sun and Sun Jinwang hurriedly waved their whips, driving the donkey carts and mule carts, following behind the sika deer carts, forming a small convoy.

As for the bee farm workers who did not get on the bus, they could only stand at the gate of the yard and watch the convoy go away with envy on their faces.

Of course, this did not include Xu Yuping, because she had to go to the county town with them, and then wait for Li Guoqiang and others to get on the train before driving the sika deer cart back.

After a short while, the convoy successfully entered the village and drove straight to the village entrance.

From a distance, I could see a bright fire at the entrance of the village. When I got closer, I discovered that at some point, a pile of tall firewood had been lit on both sides of the entrance of the village.

The villagers, led by brigade cadres such as Xu Guangfu and Sun Maocai, all stood beside the fire, looking forward to it.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Although on weekdays, some people with ulterior motives often said bad things about him behind his back, and even in the beginning, he was disliked by the villagers.

However, most of the villagers are kind-hearted, otherwise they would not even stay up late to run to the village entrance at four or five in the morning to wait for him to leave.

It is precisely because of this that he tried every possible means to create a promising business such as a apiary, so that the villagers can gradually live a good life.

As the wheels kept turning, the expressions on the villagers' faces became clearer and clearer in his eyes, and he could even see the joy flashing in their eyes.

Since everything that needed to be explained had been explained yesterday, he did not pull the reins to stop the sika deer cart when he was near the village entrance, but let the sika deer cart pass through the crowd and drive out of the village.

When the convoy passed by, the villagers standing on both sides waved to the people in the vehicles and shouted loudly, "Have a safe trip."

The people in the car kept waving in response, until only a flash of orange fire remained in their eyes.

Although separation is inevitable, this time, they did not feel any sadness. Instead, as time went by, they felt more and more excited and expectant.

You know, it is a holy place in the hearts of millions of Chinese people!

Originally they thought they would never have the chance to see it in their lifetime, but suddenly they had such a good opportunity.

When they come back, they will probably be able to brag about it for the rest of their lives.

Every time they thought of this, they couldn't suppress their inner excitement.

Fortunately, Xu Yuchang, the chatterbox, was not in the same car with Li Guoqiang, otherwise, he would have been annoyed to death. After more than two hours of driving, the convoy finally arrived at the county railway station.

Because Xu Guangfu had sent someone to buy the tickets a few days ago, Li Guoqiang and others only needed to enter the platform to check their tickets before the train arrived.

The extra time was just enough for them to have a good meal at the breakfast shop next to the train station to avoid going hungry on the way.

Everyone was so happy eating the delicious dumpling soup and fried dough sticks and buns!
They didn't expect that they would enjoy such good treatment before even arriving in the capital.

Just as they were wondering in their hearts what delicious food Li Guoqiang would take them to eat after arriving in the capital, Sun Maocai also talked about Li Guoqiang with Xu Guangfu in the Jinshanbao Production Brigade.

"Captain, do you think Qiangzi can really help us sell the honey at a high price? Don't let the extra money not be enough to pay for them to take the train."

"Ah!"

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu smiled slightly, then glanced at Sun Maocai from the corner of his eye, and asked with a laugh: "Even if the result is like this, can you still stop him?
Don't tell me you don't know why he had to drag us into this?
Isn't he doing this so that he can go back to the city?
Do you believe that if we don't agree, he will quit on the spot and leave the apiary to us?

If something happens to the bee farm and it delays everyone from making money, will you take the responsibility? Or will I take the responsibility? "

"hey-hey!"

Hearing this, Sun Maocai hurriedly laughed and explained: "Look at what you said, I was just asking casually!"

"okay!"

Xu Guangfu waved his hand, and then said meaningfully: "I don't care what you think in your heart, I just hope that you will not say these words that are not conducive to unity in the future, otherwise if someone hears it and then passes it to Qiangzi's ears, it will be difficult to deal with.

You also know Qiangzi, he seems to have no temper, but once someone makes him angry, the consequences are unpredictable. Don't forget Director Ma of our Majiadian Commune, he hasn't woken up yet!"

After saying that, he didn't care about Sun Maocai's reaction and walked straight towards the apiary.

Nowadays, several of their team cadres have become the nominal managers of the apiary. They have to be more careful and cannot let people say behind their backs that they only take salaries but do nothing.

Sun Maocai stared at Xu Guangfu's back in a daze, and then thought that he would be like Ma Qixiong in the future, lying in bed like a living dead. Suddenly, he couldn't help but shudder all over, and felt a little scared in his heart.

[Damn it! He has already given the bee farm to the brigade, why should I bother to calculate the ticket fee? What if I really make him angry and bring bad luck to me, then I will lose a lot.

Forget it! Anyway, he is such a good person, so it is better not to try to take advantage of him in the future! 】

After giving himself a good warning, Sun Maocai hurriedly chased after him, and then spent two bottles of Laobaigan and two taels of peanuts to make Xu Guangfu promise to shut up.

His change in attitude also officially marked that Li Guoqiang's status in the Jinshanbao Production Brigade had reached a new level. He had become a person who no one dared to control and was extremely free.

In other words, as long as he didn't do anything excessive or make any mistakes in principle, Xu Guangfu, Sun Maocai and others could only pamper and support him unconditionally.

Of course, he has never been an arrogant or spoiled person. Since the team can give him the freedom he wants, he will naturally give the team generous rewards and will never let the villagers suffer.

As the sun shone over the horizon, a green train roared from Changxian Railway Station towards the provincial capital, Shenyang.

Xu Yuchang, Xu Laosan, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun, four country bumpkins, stretched their necks to look around as soon as they got on the train. When the train started moving, they even shouted loudly, as if they were afraid that others would not know that it was their first time to take a train.

Finally, it was Li Guoqiang who spoke up and asked them to take good care of the honey combs in the big baskets. Only then did they calm down a little.

However, their group on the train still attracted a lot of attention, some overtly and some covertly.

Not long after, a flight attendant came up to them and asked to see their letter of introduction from their work unit.

After sending the conductor away, Li Guoqiang used the vision of the small world to catch a pickpocket who wanted to steal honey combs, thus implicating a gang of thieves.

Fortunately, these problems were not difficult for him and were solved in no time. He didn't even alarm other people. He only left four white pigs knocked unconscious and with three fingers chopped off on a relatively desolate section of railway tracks.

If they are lucky enough, they may be able to wake up before being eaten by wild beasts and participate in a wilderness survival program specially tailored for them.

And if they are too unlucky to wake up in time, all they can say is sorry.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the green train arrived in Shenyang smoothly. After asking, I learned that the train from Shenyang to Sijiucheng today would have to wait until around nine o'clock in the evening.

So, Li Guoqiang took the letter of introduction and went to the guesthouse near the train station to book two rooms. Then he took out some freshly prepared meals from the small world and took them back to the train station for everyone to eat.

After everyone had filled their stomachs, he asked them to take turns to guard the honeycombs, and then go to the guesthouse to rest.

They waited like this until nine o'clock in the evening. After everyone gathered together to eat the food that Li Guoqiang had bought, they ran to the platform to check their tickets and get on the train.

At this point, even Xu Yuchang, Xu Laosan, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun, who had been excited all the way, no longer had the energy to be excited.

What's more, it was late at night and it was pitch black outside the car window, and there was nothing interesting to see.

On the contrary, they felt quite tired because they had to keep an eye on the honey combs in the baskets all the time along the way.

Seeing that they looked exhausted, Li Guoqiang did not choose to let them rest, but pretended not to see it.

Because some things have to be experienced by them personally so that they can remember what is most important.

Otherwise, no matter how hard he tries to persuade them not to get too excited when they are out, it will ultimately fall on deaf ears.

Fortunately, Shen City is only a few hundred kilometers away from Sijiu City, so at most they only need to stay up all night.

As for the female educated youth such as Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia, although they were also somewhat excited and could not suppress their excitement, they were people who had seen the world after all. In addition, during the day, they took turns to rest in the guesthouse, so they looked quite energetic.

They even had the energy to take the time to whisper to Li Guoqiang.

"Brother Qiangzi, when are you going to eat me?"
