Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 243: Bringing Beauty into the City
"nonsense!"

Li Guoqiang frowned when he heard the soft and gentle voice beside his ear, and then he quickly opened his mouth and scolded in a low voice: "Don't you see where you are? If someone hears you, how can you face people in the future?"

"Whee!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang was angry, Pan Qiaoyan was not panicked at all, and even pressed her bulge over. Then she smiled softly and said, "No matter what, I will follow you for the rest of my life. You can't leave me behind."

"Are you sure you've thought about it?"

Li Guoqiang's eyes narrowed, and then he said seriously, "You can't joke about this kind of thing. If the policy changes in the future and you can go home, have you thought about how to explain it to your family?"

Hearing this, the smile on Pan Qiaoyan's face froze slightly, then she frowned and fell into deep thought.

"so"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he saw this, and then he laughed and said, "I think you'd better think it through first, otherwise, if you regret it later, I won't let you off easily."

"cut!"

Seeing Li Guoqiang speaking so domineeringly, Pan Qiaoyan couldn't help but roll her eyes and said unhappily, "I think you are just pretending to be kind. If you really want to do this for my own good, you won't tell me that you don't need me to eat dumplings with you!"

"Hey!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, and then complained indignantly: "How can you say that I am pretending to be kind! And it wasn't me who forced you to agree to me before? We have to talk about reason, right?"

"okay!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang looked like he was wronged, Pan Qiaoyan raised her lips slightly, and then said softly, "I just said that casually! I don't really blame you!

And you can rest assured, I will definitely do what I promised you."

Having said that, she quickly turned her head and glanced at Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia who were sitting on the other side, then put her mouth close to Li Guoqiang's ear and said in a seductive tone, "Also, if you want me to go with them then, that's fine too!"

"you"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang's eyes widened slightly, and then he looked at Pan Qiaoyan with surprise, as if he couldn't believe that she could be so smart.

"What are you looking at?"

Pan Qiaoyan's cheeks flushed, and then she forced herself to remain calm and said stubbornly, "I'm only doing this to be on the safe side and to save time. After all, none of us wants this to be spread out, so the best way is, of course, to do it together."

"Ok!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this explanation, he immediately laughed and nodded in agreement, saying, "What you said makes sense. This is indeed a more comprehensive solution."

He paused for a moment, then pretended to be a little worried and asked, "But I just don't know if they are willing?"

"Of course they do!"

When Pan Qiaoyan saw Li Guoqiang's worried look, she immediately blurted out.

After she finished speaking, she saw a playful look on Li Guoqiang's face, and then she realized that she had been fooled, and then she hurriedly said, "Well, I mean they should be willing!"

"is it?"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then asked mischievously: "Why are you so sure? If they don't want to, I will settle the score with you!"

"oops!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang had already guessed it, Pan Qiaoyan could only roll her eyes and said, "I'll tell you the truth! In fact, the three of us discussed this together, so you don't have to worry about them being unwilling."

"That's it!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, and then he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you discuss this? Normally, it would be embarrassing for you to get together, right? Why did you agree to this in the end?"

"this."

Upon hearing this, Pan Qiaoyan immediately lowered her head hesitantly, obviously there was something she was unable to talk about.

Later, just when Li Guoqiang was about to find another opportunity to ask, Pan Qiaoyan suddenly raised her head and whispered something into Li Guoqiang's ear.

After hearing this, Li Guoqiang's fist instantly hardened.

He never imagined that before this, Pan Qiaoyan, Shen Fengxia and Shang Xiuzhen had already gathered together to study it carefully while taking a bath.

In the end, in order to prevent anyone from deserting and to form a common front to fight against Luo Huijuan, they came up with this idea, which was very painstaking.

Li Guoqiang naturally had no reason to object to such a good thing, so he agreed without hesitation and then thought about where would be the most suitable place to go.

You have to know that Sijiu City is not like the Jinshanbao Production Brigade. Any old man or old woman you pick up on the street may be a good hand at catching the enemy.

Therefore, in order to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble, you still have to find a relatively safe, secure and private place.

After much thought, he found that the best place was his and Luo Huijuan's home.

With Luo Huijuan around, no one would suspect that there was any problem between him and Pan Qiaoyan, Shen Fengxia, and Shang Xiuzhen.

However, Luo Huijuan had already made it clear that he could not bring the child home.

Therefore, he quickly gave up the idea and started thinking about other places.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

After all, there is no way to get any private real estate at this time. Even if you can pay to rent some houses, most of them are shared with others. If you do things there for a long time, it will easily make people notice that something is wrong.

Just when he was planning to put this issue aside for the time being and conduct a field investigation after returning to Sijiu City, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to him.

If there is a safest place in this world, it must be his little world.

Not to mention setting off a cannon inside, even if you set off an atomic bomb inside, you don't have to worry about anyone finding out.

The only thing that needs to be considered is how to prevent Pan Qiaoyan and the others from discovering the true situation of this small world.

Thinking of this, the first relatively simple method he could think of was to blindfold them every time he took them into the small world, and then use the excuse that he could perform magic to take them to the private courtyard of the small world. However, this was purely a case of trying to cover up one's own mistake, and as time went on, it would definitely arouse their suspicion.

Therefore, another simpler way is to tell them the truth, which may bring them unprecedented new experiences and the greatest sense of security.

Just like Erniu who was far away in the mountains, when she guessed that Li Guoqiang actually had the ability to teleport people, her heart was completely glued to Li Guoqiang.

The reason why she did this was simply because Li Guoqiang could give her the greatest sense of security in the world.

To put it simply, her admiration for strength was satisfied. She felt that following Li Guoqiang would not only allow her to live a good life, but also give her the powerful strength to protect herself and her family.

However, considering that Pan Qiaoyan, Shen Fengxia and Shang Xiuzhen were not like Erniu, who had no culture and knowledge and found it difficult for them to accept unscientific things, Li Guoqiang was still a little worried about them.

At worst, he would try to sound out Luo Huijuan's attitude and see if he could let Pan Qiaoyan, Shen Fengxia and Shang Xiuzhen in.

No matter what, it’s better for the family to stay together.

Soon, a notice came on the green train's broadcast that it was about to arrive at Sijiucheng Railway Station.

Li Guoqiang first reached out and shook Pan Qiaoyan, who was sleeping soundly on the table beside him, and then he called to wake up Shen Fengxia and Shang Xiuzhen, who were sleeping opposite each other in the same bed.

Not long after, they woke up with sleepy eyes and didn't realize what had happened for a while.

When they heard the broadcast clearly, they couldn't help but shudder, then leaned on the car window with excitement, wanting to see the city of Sijiu as soon as possible.

However, because it was not yet dawn, they could only see a gray scene, and a look of disappointment immediately appeared on their faces.

"okay!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but said with a smile: "Come over and help carry the baskets. If you want to see it, you'll have plenty of time to watch it after we get off the car."

"Oh!"

When Pan Qiaoyan, Shen Fengxia and Shang Xiuzhen heard what Li Guoqiang said, they could only nod and agree, then turned around and went to the aisle to help carry the baskets and prepare to get off the bus.

Speaking of which, this is all thanks to the fact that there were not as many people on the trains back then as there were after the 21st century, otherwise they would not have been able to carry such a large basket onto the train.

With everyone busy and excited, they were soon ready.

Then, a long and loud whistle was heard, and the Sijiucheng Railway Station appeared before them.

"Everyone, listen to me. When you get off the car, you must not run around. You must follow my instructions in all actions."

Li Guoqiang looked at the expectant expressions on everyone's faces and hurriedly spoke loudly to give instructions.

At the same time, he did not forget to use the vision of his small world to pay close attention to the situation around him to prevent any accidents.

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed and followed the crowd, carrying large baskets towards the car door.

Soon, they were sweating profusely due to the excitement and the hard work of lifting.

By the time they got off the train and gathered on the platform, a hint of pale sky was visible on the horizon.

Li Guoqiang looked up at the sky, then counted the number of people and the baskets, and found that there was no problem. Then he led the way towards the exit.

"This city's train station is really huge!"

"Yes, in all my years, this is the first time I've seen such a big train station! It looks almost bigger than our village!"

"Look, the house over there is really tall. This should be what city people call a building! I wonder what it's like to live in a building like that?"

"Huh? Look at this ground, it's so flat and solid! It looks so beautiful!"

"Look, that's a car!"

"."

As the team walked out of the train station, the grown men like Xu Yuchang, Xu Laosan, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun instantly became conspicuous. From time to time, they would burst into exclamations, and people could tell without even looking that they were country bumpkins from other places.

Li Guoqiang didn't care much about this. Instead, he explained it to them from time to time so that they could broaden their horizons.

Seeing Li Guoqiang like this, Shen Fengxia, Shang Xiuzhen and others naturally did not show any disdain towards Xu Yuchang and others. Instead, they followed Li Guoqiang's example and introduced the three outsiders, Pan Qiaoyan, Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, in detail.

They walked and talked like this, and soon the group of ten of them arrived at the street outside the train station.

Afterwards, Li Guoqiang spoke in Beijing dialect and shouted on the street for a long time. Finally, he called six cartmen who had been squatting on the roadside waiting for work since early morning. He asked them to pull the carts and take them and the big baskets to the courtyard.

Because the distance was a little far and there were many people and goods, it cost 3 yuan at once, an average of 5 cents per car.

Fortunately, everyone knew that Li Guoqiang was a wealthy man, so no one blamed him for being extravagant. Soon, everyone got on the cart and enjoyed the scenery along the way with great interest.

As it was still quite early, apart from the sanitation workers, the only people I could see on the road were some people queuing outside public toilets and breakfast shops. One was there to defecate while the other was there to eat, so it was quite entertaining.

The reason why Li Guoqiang so readily spent money to hire the host was not only because he did not want to trouble Pan Qiaoyan and the others, but mainly because it would allow Xu Yuchang and the others to enjoy the scenery of the old city.

More than an hour later, with Ban Ye's hard work, they successfully reached Tongluoguxiang from the train station. The cart had just stopped in front of the courtyard gate when it caused a sensation in the alley.

Soon, the area was surrounded by people watching the fun.

Fortunately, most people knew Li Guoqiang and knew that Li Guoqiang was someone who had been praised by the old man, so no unnecessary misunderstandings arose.

Upon seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly took the opportunity to loudly tell everyone that the Jinshanbao Production Brigade had sent him to Beijing to set up an office to be responsible for selling honey and striving to cooperate with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in researching beekeeping technology.

Moreover, he did not forget to take out the third-level certificate jointly issued by Chang County, Majiadian Commune and Jinshanbao Production Brigade, opened it and displayed it in front of everyone to verify what he said.

This way, he won't have to worry about anyone doubting the legality of his return to the city.

Just as he finished showing the documents to everyone and was about to let Xu Yuchang and others unload the baskets and luggage from the cart, Luo Huijuan, who received the news, immediately ran out of the courtyard in a hurry, then quickly pushed through the crowd and ran to Li Guoqiang with an excited face.

"Qiangzi, you...you're back!"
