Chapter 118 You are such a bad boy

"Come here, Qiangzi, let me introduce you to Comrade Shen Wanpeng, the purchaser of the canteen of Majiadian Commune. He came here this time to buy the four bear paws in your hand."

When Xu Guangfu saw Li Guoqiang coming out, he hurriedly spoke with a warm smile on his face.

As soon as the voice fell, before Li Guoqiang could say anything, Shen Wanpeng raised his chin slightly, took a step forward and said: "Little brother, I can give you 5 yuan per pound for those four bear paws."

After saying this, he looked at Li Guoqiang with confidence, as if he had already seen the scene of Li Guoqiang happily going to take out the bear paw.

However, when Li Guoqiang heard this, he shook his head without even thinking and refused, "I'm sorry, I don't sell my four bear paws, please go back!"

Shen Wanpeng was slightly stunned, and then asked in disbelief: "Are you sure you don't want to sell it? I said 5 yuan per pound, not 5 cents per pound, which means you can earn dozens of yuan in one go!"

"That's right!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then said seriously: "I'm sure I won't sell it, please go back!"

"Ah!"

Shen Wanpeng stared at Li Guoqiang for a while, then suddenly sneered and said, "You think I must buy your four bears, so you want to wait for the price, right?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. If you sell the bear paws to me now, you can still sell them for 5 yuan per pound. If you wait until I'm gone, the price won't be that high!"

"Oh?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then said indifferently: "Then you should leave quickly!"

"Row!"

Seeing Li Guoqiang's stubborn attitude, Shen Wanpeng couldn't help but laugh. He immediately nodded and said, "Don't regret it then!"

At this point, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he turned to look at Xu Guangfu and Xu Yuying, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, Yingzi, since they don't want to sell it, let's go!"

After saying that, he immediately walked out of the yard, wanting to let Li Guoqiang know what regret meant.

However, as he walked, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and then he quickly turned around to look behind him.

Huh?
Where are they?

How come it disappeared in the blink of an eye?
Could it be that the boy saw me leaving and couldn't bring himself to beg me, so he wanted Yingzi and her father to plead with me?
Thinking of this, Shen Wanpeng couldn't help but reveal a smug look on his face, and then he hurriedly put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out, wanting to wait for Xu Guangfu and Xu Yuying to bring Li Guoqiang to beg him.

At the same time, in the room, Li Guoqiang was pulled by Xu Guangfu and sat down on the south kang with Xu Yuying.

Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani were busy serving them tea and water, then sat on the north kang, quietly watching Li Guoqiang and the others, as if they wanted to watch the show.

Then, before Li Guoqiang could speak, Xu Guangfu took the lead and introduced: "Qiangzi, she is our youngest daughter, working as a broadcaster in Majiadian Commune. When she came back today, she heard that you had killed a blind bear, so she insisted that I bring her here to meet you. I thought that since you are both young people, you should be able to chat, so I brought her here."

"You two can have a good chat among yourselves later. I'll go see buyer Shen off first."

After saying that, he turned his head, gave Qu Yinfeng a look, then got up, got off the kang and hurried away.

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng felt slightly happy, and then without saying a word, she quickly pulled Xu Dani out. Only Li Guoqiang and Xu Yuying were left staring at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Fortunately, Li Guoqiang was not a fool after all. He quickly reacted and greeted him with a smile: "Come, drink some water to warm yourself up first."

As he spoke, he picked up the enamel teacup, put it to his lips and took a sip of the hot water.

Seeing Li Guoqiang's graceful and generous performance, Xu Yuying's eyes lit up slightly, and then she asked softly, "I heard from my father that you are an educated youth from the old city?"

"Yup!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then laughed and said, "I am honored to be able to follow the country's call and come to our Jinshanbao Production Brigade. I met your father and mother, Uncle Guanglu, Uncle Guangshou, Aunt Yinfeng, Little Dani, and other warm and kind folks. I can feel the warmth of home here."

"Ok!"

Xu Yuying nodded slightly in agreement, then asked curiously, "Can you tell me what the old city is like? I heard there are seven or eight-story shopping malls, electric cars, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. I think it must be beautiful, right?"

“It’s quite beautiful!”

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then said softly: "No matter what, Sijiu City is also the capital of our country. It is also a capital city with hundreds of years of heritage. Naturally, it has its own unique charm."

“It not only has Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, but also the Temple of Heaven Park.”

Soon, he gave a brief introduction to the situation in Sijiu City.

After hearing this, Xu Yuying couldn't help but say with some longing: "I really want to have the chance to go and see it!"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he quickly said to comfort her: "Don't worry! There will definitely be opportunities in the future!"

"Ok!"

Xu Yuying nodded slightly in response, her eyes unconsciously fixed on Li Guoqiang's handsome face. Suddenly, a scene of herself and Li Guoqiang touring the city hand in hand emerged in her mind.

As she thought about it, she became a little dazed for a moment.

"Hey!"

Li Guoqiang saw that Xu Yuying had been staring at him as if she was crazy about him, so he hurriedly called out to her, and then asked in confusion, "Are you okay?"

"Oh!"

Xu Yuying heard the voice and suddenly came back to her senses. Then she saw Li Guoqiang's puzzled eyes. Her pretty face was slightly hot. She lowered her head and said hurriedly: "No, I'm fine!"

After that, she raised her head and glanced at Li Guoqiang, then asked, "Well, what are your plans for the future?"

"after?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and said, "I don't have any plans for this. After all, I have just arrived here not long ago, and I am still unclear about many things. For the time being, I just want to live my life well first."

"That's it!"

Xu Yuying hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and asked, "Then have you ever thought about finding a partner here?"

"no!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head and said seriously, "You know, our country stipulates that you have to be 19 years old to get a marriage certificate. I'm only now, so there's no need to rush to find a partner."

Xu Yuying: “.”

When she heard what Li Guoqiang said, her mind buzzed instantly, and then she suddenly remembered that her parents had never told her that Li Guoqiang was so young. If she had known that Li Guoqiang was so young, she would never have come to have a blind date with Li Guoqiang!
If this matter gets out and the villagers know about it, who knows what they will say about her behind her back.
Thinking that she might be labeled as an old cow eating young grass, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable and awkward.

"Are you OK?"

Li Guoqiang saw that Xu Yuying's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he felt a little happy in his heart, then hurriedly asked a question.

"It's okay!"

Xu Yuying shook her head when she heard that, and then quickly said, "Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home. We can talk about it later when we have a chance. I'll go back first."

After saying that, she got up from the kang and ran away in a hurry.

When Li Guoqiang saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel funny.

Originally, he thought that this little girl Xu Guangfu was very difficult to deal with!
Is this the result?

It seems that he won't have to worry about Xu Guangfu making things difficult for him in the future.

"Hey!"

At this time, Qu Yinfeng also brought Xu Dani, opened the door curtain and hurried in, then asked in confusion: "Qiangzi, why did Yingzi suddenly run away? Did you say something to make her angry and run away?"

"no!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly waved his hands and explained, "I just told her that I'm only 19 years old and can't get a marriage certificate yet, and then she said she had something to do at home and left first."

"what!"

Qu Yinfeng was slightly stunned, then burst out laughing, "I say you are such a bad boy, you are just talking nonsense! I guess she will be too embarrassed to see you again in the future!"

"Have no idea!"

Li Guoqiang spread his hands and said innocently, "I have always been an honest child! You can't let me deceive her, right?"

"okay!"

Qu Yinfeng rolled her eyes, and then said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Don't bother talking to me here! She is a girl who works in the commune and gets paid. She has a good figure and good looks. I don't know how many young men are drooling over her. But now you have driven her away."

"If people knew about this, I wouldn't know whether they would say you're stupid or stupid!"

"hey-hey!"

Li Guoqiang laughed awkwardly, then said helplessly: "Auntie, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I really don't want to find a partner and get married so soon."

"Besides, as you just said, she works in the commune and can only come back a few times a month. If I really stay with her, how will I live? You can't let me, a grown man, stay at home all day long waiting for her to come back, right?"

"This"

When Qu Yinfeng heard this, she was suddenly speechless.

She even thought of more problems from what Li Guoqiang said.

For example, who should be the head of the family at that time? And if Xu Yuying has a child, who should the child live with? If a family lives separately all year round, can they still be called a family?
Thinking about this series of questions, she suddenly understood why Li Guoqiang didn't want to accept Xu Guangfu's kindness from the beginning.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel guilty, thinking that she was only concerned about Li Guoqiang getting married, having children, and settling down here, but she didn't consider Li Guoqiang's situation carefully. She kept persuading him to be with Xu Yuying, and almost harmed him.

"Qiangzi, I'm so damned, I didn't expect you and Yingzi would have so many problems together."

"fine!"

Li Guoqiang saw Qu Yinfeng's eyes suddenly turn red, and he quickly waved his hands and said to comfort her: "Auntie, don't blame yourself, I just thought of this."

"Besides these issues, Sister Yingzi's conditions are really good. Not only does she have a stable job, but she is also so beautiful. Seeing her just now made my heart beat fast."

"If I had a softer temper, I would have already clung to his thighs and wouldn't let him leave."

"It's a pity that I have a manly personality and I really can't accept my wife riding on my head, so I had to reluctantly drive her away."

After saying this, he pretended to be very sad.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then said in a stern voice: "You little brat just talks nonsense. You made a blind date sound like a business deal."

"It's fine if you say this in front of me, but you must not say it outside. Otherwise, your uncle Fu will give you a big slap in the face."

"Of course!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then laughed and said, "I'm not that stupid. Uncle Fu is a man who loves his daughter. I don't want him to make things difficult for me in the future!"

"to make!"

When Qu Yinfeng heard what Li Guoqiang said, she felt relieved, and then she said softly: "Since you know the situation yourself, I feel relieved!"

After saying that, she turned and went out to prepare dinner.

When Li Guoqiang saw that it was not completely dark outside yet, he hurried to the bathhouse and used a knife to drill a hole under the large water tank.

At the same time, Xu Yuying also hurried back home. As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't help but complain to Tian Guixiang who was busy cooking at the stove: "Mom, why don't you say that he is only 19 years old this year?"

"What's the matter?"

Tian Guixiang was slightly stunned, and then asked in confusion: "What's wrong with 19 years old? When your father married me, wasn't I just 18 years old?"

"How can this be the same?"

Xu Yuying stamped her feet, then retorted in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "You are not older than my father!"

"how?"

Tian Guixiang glared and asked hastily, "Does Qiangzi think you're too old?"

After asking, she saw Xu Yuying's embarrassed look, and she couldn't help but slap her thigh with her hand, and then said, "Oh! I told you a long time ago not to be so picky, but you just didn't listen."

"Now it's all right, people are disgusted with you, right?"

"Just tell me what you are trying to achieve."
