Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 41: Arrangements before departure (long chapter, please read later)

"What? Our Damao was sent to Qinjiazhuang by Director Li to help the villagers raise pigs?"

When Qin Jingru heard the news that Liu Haizhong told her specifically when he came home from get off work, she was stunned at the door and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Afterwards, she immediately asked Liu Haizhong what was going on.

When she learned about the heroic deeds Xu Damao had done in the second canteen of the steel rolling mill, she suddenly wished she could strangle this fool Xu Damao to death.

At this time, except Xu Damao himself, no one would doubt that Xu Damao did not do this.

Even when Qin Jingru heard Xu Damao write on a piece of paper that Li Huaide had once accepted a large yellow croaker from him, she felt that Xu Damao must have drunk too much and damaged his brain.

Because no one else knew about the fact that Xu Damao had given yellow croaker to Li Huaide except her and Xu Damao.

Just as she was thinking about what to do now, Qin Huairu was also stunned by a certificate of going to the countryside and a train ticket to Caiyunzhiding that was suddenly sent to her by Dongcheng District No. 6 Middle School.

Just this morning, she told Shazhu that she was going to ask the senior leader for help in arranging Banggeng in the Red Star Commune!

As a result, just after she got off work in the evening, before she had time to share with her family the news that Xu Damao had been sent to raise pigs for his misbehavior, she suddenly received a notice that Banggeng had been assigned to Caiyunzhiding, which immediately extinguished her good mood.

"Bang Geng, what's going on? Tell me now! Do you really want to be assigned to such a faraway place?"

Facing Qin Huairu's questioning, Banggeng kept his head down in silence, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"You want to piss me off to death, don't you?"

Qin Huairu was so angry when she saw Banggeng like this.

However, she couldn't bear to hit Banggeng, so she could only turn around angrily and walk out of the door, heading towards the front yard, ready to ask Banggeng's schoolmate Yan Jiedi what was going on.

When Yan Jie Di saw Qin Huairu coming to her house, she hurriedly told her about the petition that Bang Geng had written to the school radio station. She also said that Bang Geng was now regarded as an example by the school leaders, so they quickly decided on the place where Bang Geng would be assigned.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu was angry and shocked, and she couldn't understand why Banggeng did this.

Then, she immediately ran back home and angrily questioned Banggeng.

However, no matter what she said, Banggeng remained silent as before, which made her feel a little worried.

After all the kind persuasion was of no avail, she hurried to find Sha Zhu, who had just returned from get off work, to help her find a solution.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately followed Qin Huairu into the house with a positive look on his face, ready to see what the situation was.

However, it would have been fine if Sha Zhu had not come. As soon as Bang Geng saw Sha Zhu coming, he immediately stood up with a furious look on his face, pointed his finger at Sha Zhu's nose and shouted at him to get out.

Helpless, Sha Zhu could only retreat in disgrace.

Seeing how useless Sha Zhu was, Qin Huairu was so angry that she rolled her eyes on the spot. Then she unreasonably asked Sha Zhu to find a way to resolve the issue of Banggeng's distribution, otherwise he would never be able to marry her in the future.

When Sha Zhu heard this unreasonable request, he was somewhat unhappy, but in order to have a chance to be with Qin Huairu, he finally agreed.

Then, he immediately ran to the big boss's house, wanting the big boss to help adjust the location where Bang Geng would be assigned.

However, when the senior leader heard that it was Banggeng who took the initiative to petition, he immediately said that he was powerless to do anything.

Seeing that he couldn't rely on his big boss, Sha Zhu had to go back and think of other solutions.

He spent five days thinking about this, but in the end, he still couldn't think of a feasible way to change the result of Banggeng being assigned to the top of Caiyun.

At the same time, Li Guoqiang also spent a warm and wonderful time with his family during these five days.

Moreover, he also took the time to send the banknotes that Luo Jiwu gave him, as well as all the banknotes in the storage space, to Luo Jiwu's comrades whose families lived in other places.

Anyway, he didn't want to take the risk of using the money himself, so he could just do a favor.

Then, he considered that when he went to the countryside, he would have to spend money to build a house, buy hunting rifles, bullets, and hunting dogs, and he would also have to spend money to exchange various local tickets with others. He was worried that the more than 200 yuan he had on him would not be enough, so he took most of the supplies in the storage space to the black market and exchanged them for money.

In the end, he successfully exchanged the supplies for 500 yuan, and there was only the following left in the storage space:
大豆50斤；大米50斤；小米50斤；小麦面粉100斤；花生米50斤；白糖50斤；红糖20斤；花生油100斤；食盐100斤；鸡蛋200个；老母鸡10只；老母鸭10只；大公鸡10只；大公鸭10只；兔子10只；狗肉10斤；羊肉30斤；羊杂50斤；驴肉50斤；猪肉100斤；猪下水50斤；猪头50斤；猪骨头50斤等。

These supplies were basically enough for him to spend several months safely in the countryside.

With this period of buffer time, he believed that with the life buff of hard work, he should be able to gain a foothold in the countryside and even harvest more and richer supplies.

In addition to making money on the black market, he also practiced his skills diligently during these five days. He gained 0.3 points of physique, 0.2 points of strength, and 0.02 points of spirit every day, successfully raising his personal attributes and skill experience by a large margin. Adding the little gains he made from doing other things during this period, his personal attribute panel has become as follows:
Name: Li Guoqiang
Age: 19 years old
Strength: 5.52 (adult male average 8)

Physical fitness: 5.15 (average for adult males: 7.5)

Mental: 6.83 (adult male average 6.5)

技能：养生呼吸法L2（56/100）；真五禽图功L2（92/100）；略；
Items: Omitted.

Looking at the brand new attribute panel, Li Guoqiang seemed to see himself constantly breaking through the limits of the human body in the near future, and he was full of confidence in the future.

Just as he was about to check his bag carefully to see if there was anything he had forgotten to bring, he suddenly heard the door slam open, and then he saw Li Guofu running in excitedly, carrying two oil-paper bags.

"Brother, look what I bought for you?"

"Is this roast duck?"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then he smelled the aroma of oil coming from the oil paper bag, and his heart instantly felt warm.

"Haha, you guessed it right! This is roast duck, and it's Quanjude's roast duck. Look, it's still hot!"

Li Guofu grinned, then handed the oil-paper bag to Li Guoqiang with a look of presenting a treasure.

"You've only been working for a few days. Where do you get the money to buy roast duck?"

Li Guoqiang glanced at the three big words written on the oil paper bag and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"Hey! I don't have any money, but doesn't my sister have some? I'm just borrowing it from her first, and I'll pay her back when I get my salary."

Upon hearing this, Li Guofu couldn't help but chuckle and began to explain.

After he finished speaking, he saw that Li Guoqiang didn't say anything, so he hurriedly continued, "Brother, I promised you before that I would buy you a roast duck from Quanjude. You will be going to the countryside early tomorrow morning. If I don't buy it for you today, I don't know when I will have the chance again. That's why I borrowed money from my sister."

"Okay, I didn't say anything to you, why are you so anxious?"

Li Guoqiang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Guofu's anxious look.

The reason why he didn't say anything just now was because he suddenly remembered the Swiss diamond-studded ladies' watch, the big yellow croaker, and the old jade ring he had picked up in the black market before.

Because the things he picked up could not be stored in the storage space like the rewards given by Father Jin, he always carried the things with him.

But now, he is about to go to the countryside, and it is definitely not okay to carry these things with him.

Therefore, he had to hand these things over to his family for safekeeping.

As for who to hand it over to, he hasn't decided yet and plans to make a temporary decision when he leaves tomorrow.

In addition, he had another thing that he was going to ask Li Guofu to do.

"Xiao Fu, I have a letter here. After I leave tomorrow, you can find a chance to give it to Uncle He."

"Brother, where did you get this letter? Why does it say it was sent from Guangzhou in the south?"

Li Guofu reached out, took the letter, took a look at it, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

Li Guoqiang didn't want to explain this, he just waved his hand and said softly: "Don't worry about how it came from. Anyway, when the time comes, you can find an opportunity to give it to Uncle He in front of Aunt Huairu and say that someone else sent it to him."

"Fine!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang was unwilling to talk, Li Guoqiang did not continue to ask, but simply nodded and agreed.

When Li Guoqiang saw Li Guofu put the letter away, a smile of expectation appeared on his lips.

I wonder what kind of expression Sha Zhu will have when he sees this letter that he helped Lou Xiao'e to send and finds out that he has a son in Hong Kong?
Especially, when the Jia family also knows about this, it will probably be very interesting!
Anyway, he didn't want to see Shazhu continuing to help the Jia family, especially Banggeng.

Just when he was about to ask Li Guofu to go and see how Li Dawei and Yao Meilan were doing in helping Luo Jiwu move, he suddenly heard Yao Meilan's voice shouting outside the house.

"Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang!"
