Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 403 Isn’t this Xu Damao?
"That's Qiangzi!"

Xu Guanglu saw Xu Yuliang's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "Anyway, we are all from the same village, and you haven't always stayed in the village, so there's no need to do things so drastically.

As the saying goes, a desperate dog will jump over the wall!

In my opinion, you might as well change the condition to let him help you keep an eye on the apiary, and then you can hold him responsible for any problems that occur in the future."

"Yup!"

After hearing this, Xu Yuliang quickly agreed, "Qiangzi, the reason why our brigade is what it is today is because the Xu family, the Ma family, and the Sun family each have a share of power in the brigade.

If Uncle Maocai were to be taken down, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Moreover, now that everyone is about to live a good life, maintaining stability is the most important thing.

If you are still worried, I can assure you that this will never happen again."

After saying this, he looked at Li Guoqiang expectantly, hoping that Li Guoqiang would listen to his words.

The reason why he spoke up for Sun Maocai was not only because the brigade had agreed to go into the mountains to dig beehives, but mainly because he had just taken over as the brigade leader not long ago and did not want major changes to happen in the brigade.

Li Guoqiang could naturally see this.

He looked at Xu Yuliang, then at Xu Guanglu, then nodded and said, "Alright! Since you have already said this, I can't say anything more. Let's do as you say!"

"Great!"

When Xu Yuliang heard that Li Guoqiang finally gave in, he couldn't help but praise him, "I knew you were the most righteous."

"Come on!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't want to let him get away with it so easily!"

"Ha ha!"

When Xu Yuliang and Xu Guanglu heard this, they immediately burst into laughter, obviously very satisfied with Li Guoqiang.

Afterwards, they quickly got up and said goodbye, preparing to go find Sun Maocai to talk about the matter and give Li Guoqiang an explanation. By the way, they also had to get someone to spread the news to prevent everyone from making blind guesses.

After sending Xu Yuliang and Xu Guanglu away, Li Guoqiang asked Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping about what had happened recently in the apiary and the village.

After making sure there were no abnormal conditions, he took Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping to the apiary to check the relevant situation on the spot and sorted out all the work to avoid any uncontrollable risks like last time.

After finishing all the important work, he carried an old hen and went to Ma Guifang's house alone.

"Qiang Qiangzi, you are here!"

When Ma Guifang saw Li Guoqiang coming, she was stunned for a moment, then spoke with a look of surprise on her face.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded when he heard this, then walked forward and sat on the edge of the kang. Looking at Ma Guifang, whose hands, feet and head were all wrapped in gauze, he spoke softly and concernedly, "How do you feel now? Are you okay?"

"fine!"

Ma Guifang shook her head, then laughed and said, "It's just that his limbs are broken, but he won't die. He just needs to recuperate for a while!"

"That's good!"

Seeing that Ma Guifang was in good spirits, Li Guoqiang felt relieved. He smiled softly, nodded, and said, "Then you can rest at home and recover. When you are well, you can go back to the bee farm and continue to be the manager."

"Got it!"

When Ma Guifang heard this, she immediately agreed with joy on her face.

In fact, after she knew that the brigade asked Xu Yuping to replace her position, she had been worried that when she recovered, there would no longer be a place for her in the apiary, let alone she would continue to serve as the director of the apiary.

Now that Li Guoqiang has made a personal promise, she can finally put her mind at ease.

If it weren't for her injury and the fact that they were at her home, she would probably want to serve Li Guoqiang well and repay his kindness.

Li Guoqiang looked at Ma Guifang's watery eyes and felt a little happy in his heart. He didn't stay long, but simply asked if there was anything his family needed help with, then got up and said goodbye and left.

Then, he went to Xu Guangshou's home, carrying a jar of aged wine and a pack of fine cigarettes.

Although Xu Guangshou only taught him a trick of butchering a beef that he could not use very well, the kindness Xu Guangshou showed him was real.

Therefore, whenever he had time, he would bring something to Xu Guangshou's home to show his respect.

When Xu Guangshou saw Li Guoqiang coming, he immediately acted as if he had seen his own son. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He just went forward to hold Li Guoqiang's arm and asked anxiously, "Qiangzi, I heard that you had a falling out with Maocai as soon as you came back?"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then laughed and asked, "What's the matter? Am I afraid of him?"

"no!"

Xu Guangshou shook his head, and then said seriously: "I'm not saying that you are afraid of him. I'm just worried that if you do this, it will be easy for the people in the Sun family to bear a grudge against you, and they will find a chance to trip you up in the future, which will be bad."

"fine!"

Li Guoqiang felt a little warm in his heart after hearing this, then waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, since I dared to break up with him, I am not afraid that he will trip me up behind my back.

Besides, Uncle Lu and Brother Yuliang have already talked to me about this, and I have already promised not to let him step down, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

"That's good!"

Xu Guangshou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he said earnestly, "Qiangzi! Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Although you are now in charge of Xiangmi Zhai and the bee farm, you are the most popular person in our village.

But we are all from the same village, and we see each other every day, so it is best not to take things to the extreme.

Otherwise, who knows what will happen in the future?
If the policy changes again, you might have to ask the Sun family for help, and then it will be hard to talk to them."

"I know!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said seriously: "I understand what you said, I was just a little angry at the time, so I went to him to make trouble.

As long as he can help me take care of the bee farm and not cause trouble for me, I won’t be against him.”

In fact, the reason why he agreed to let Sun Maocai go, in addition to the persuasion of Xu Yuliang and Xu Guanglu, was mainly because he wanted to keep Sun Maocai in the brigade as a negative example to tell the people in the village not to try to go against him.

In addition, he did not want other brigade cadres to feel sad for their loss and thus be on guard against him. He saw this from Xu Yuliang and Xu Guanglu.

Even though Xu Yuliang and Xu Guanglu both regarded him as a member of the Xu family, once their core interests were involved, this relationship would become difficult to discuss.

No one wants someone who can get rid of them at any time to ride on their head.

"Row!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang didn't seem to be trying to cheer him up, Xu Guangshou relaxed, nodded and said, "Since you know what's going on, I won't say much.

Come on, come on and sit on the kang!"

As he said that, he pulled Li Guoqiang to the kang and asked about Xu Yuchang's situation.

After chatting for a while, Li Guoqiang saw that it was getting late, so he politely declined Xu Guangshou's request to stay for dinner, got up and said goodbye and went back to his own home.

At this time, Ma Shufen, Zhu Caiyan, Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani had already prepared hot water and dinner at home, waiting for Li Guoqiang, Xu Yuping and Qu Yinfeng to come back for dinner.

Not long after Li Guoqiang returned home, Xu Yuping and Qu Yinfeng also came back from work at the bee farm and brought back some sweet potato flour, mushrooms, fungus and other things for Li Guoqiang.

These things were brought to the apiary by the workers for cooking. Now they have become good things for Li Guoqiang to express his gratitude.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Since the items were not that valuable, Li Guoqiang was happy to accept them and use them to appease people.

After dinner, he and Xu Yuping and others dug water from the well as usual, then used teleportation to enter the villa deep in the mountains and spent some time with Liang Xianglian and Erniu.

The next morning, he didn't say anything and drove his sika deer cart directly to the county town. He planned to say goodbye to Xu Guangfu and take the train back to Sijiu City.

When Xu Guangfu saw Li Guoqiang coming, he hurriedly asked about the situation in the village.

When he learned that Li Guoqiang had a big fight with Sun Maocai and almost quit his job, he was instantly shocked.

Afterwards, he was relieved when he heard that Li Guoqiang had agreed to let Sun Maocai make amends for his crime. Then, he pointed at Li Guoqiang with an unpleasant look on his face and began to lecture him:

"You are such a grown-up, why are you still so impulsive?
If you really force Maocai to step down, what do you think the other brigade cadres will think?
What's more, no one knows which direction the wind will blow in the future. What if something changes and Xiangmi Zhai and the apiary can no longer operate? What will you do then?
You can't just let someone send you back like that, can you?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Guangfu's concerned expression, smiled slightly, then nodded and said honestly: "I admit that I was a little impulsive this time. I will be more careful in the future."

"okay!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang was so honest, Xu Guangfu's anger disappeared immediately. He waved his hand unhappily and said, "I believe you understand these principles. Anyway, you can do whatever you want!"

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly continued, "By the way, I went to report to the leader yesterday. After a meeting, the leader decided to postpone the county-run bee farm until the beginning of next spring, and also asked me to sign a military order. When the time comes, you must come back to help me.

Besides, our team is running a bee farm, so it should be expanded next year, right? Then you can do two things at the same time.

How is it? Any questions? "

"no problem!"

After hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately shook his head and expressed his opinion.

Since the county has decided to postpone the date to the beginning of next spring and let Xu Guangfu be the person in charge, he naturally cannot stand idly by.

Moreover, if he could set up the county-run apiary, he could also open Xiangmi Zhai branches throughout the city, and then plan to open a beverage and food factory.

Anyway, he has Gold Dad to help him brush up his skills, so he doesn’t have to worry about not being able to figure out the recipe.

The only problem is that it takes some time.

And what he lacks the least is time.

After finishing the business, Xu Guangfu took Li Guoqiang aside and gave him some advice, asking him to be nice to his daughter Xu Yuying.

Then he personally sent Li Guoqiang to the train station.

Just as Li Guoqiang was taking the train back to Sijiu City, a man with a long horse face also returned to the courtyard with a smug look on his face.

"Yo!"

When Yan Bugui saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment, then he said in surprise: "Isn't this Xu Damao? Why are you back?"

"Hey!"

Xu Damao frowned when he heard this, and then said unhappily: "Uncle, this is my home, why can't I come back?"

"no!"

Yan Bugui saw that Xu Damao was angry, but he was not panicked. Instead, he said mischievously, "I heard that you were punished to pick up cow dung in the countryside! You have to pick up cow dung every day, so you are not a deserter, are you?"

"Why did you ask me to escape back?"

When Xu Damao heard this, his eyes widened and he retorted, "I asked the factory to transfer me back in an honest way. If you don't believe me, look, this is my transfer order."

As he spoke, he took out a transfer document from his pocket and handed it to Yan Bugui.

Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out to take it and looked at it carefully.

The document clearly stated that Xu Damao was to return to the steel rolling mill from the Red Star Commune to serve as a projectionist in the Propaganda Department.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui's eyes widened, and then he said in astonishment: "How is this possible?"

You have to know that the mistake Xu Damao made at the beginning was not an ordinary big one. It directly offended Director Li Huaide of the steel rolling mill.

As far as he knew, Li Huaide was still in charge of the steel mill. Who would have the courage to transfer Xu Damao back?
"Ah!"

Xu Damao was delighted when he saw Yan Bugui's shocked expression. He then laughed and said jokingly, "So? I told you I would definitely come back!"

After saying that, he snatched back the transfer documents, as if he was afraid that Yan Bugui would tear them up.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui's face darkened slightly, and then he said sourly: "Even if you can come back, so what? Our hospital is not the same as before."

"Oh?"

Xu Damao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked curiously: "What has become of our courtyard now?"
