Chapter 183 You are such a good person
"."
When Ma Shufen heard Li Guoqiang's answer, she was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but look at Li Guoqiang with some admiration.
Originally, she thought that Li Guoqiang was afraid of something happening, so he didn't dare to agree to help her borrow the chicken to lay eggs.
As a result, she didn't expect that Li Guoqiang would actually think this way.
You know what, it gives people a very domineering feeling.
"okay!"
Seeing that Ma Shufen didn't say anything, Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said, "I have already told you everything I need to say. I have something else to do at home, so I will go back first."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.
Seeing this, Ma Shufen opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
After all, Li Guoqiang has made his attitude clear, and if she continues to make trouble, it would be a bit annoying.
What a pity!
Such a good man, who knows which girl will be lucky enough to marry him in the future?
Time flies and soon it is the next morning.
Xu Yuping got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast, while Qu Yinfeng also prepared some gifts early and planned to take Xu Dani to visit her grandmother's house.
Although because of Xu Dani's mother's difficult labor and the poor conditions of both families, their family has not visited Xu Dani's grandmother's family for many years.
But no matter what, they were Xu Dani's relatives, and their family's living conditions had improved now, so with the support of Li Guoqiang, Qu Yinfeng had the idea of taking Xu Dani to visit her relatives.
"Qiangzi, what do you think? Can we let that red deer pull the cart?"
"Row!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded confidently and replied, "I have just tried to let the sika deer pull the sled around the village. There shouldn't be any problem."
"That's good!"
Qu Yinfeng felt relieved, then laughed and said, "Then it will be much more convenient for us."
Originally, she planned to take Xu Dani all the way to Wangjiatun.
However, Li Guoqiang disagreed and suggested that the sika deer pull the sled to carry them over.
Although she didn't really believe that the sika deer would be obedient, since the head of the family, Li Guoqiang, insisted, she didn't want to object.
Soon, she put all the gifts into a basket, tied it to the sled, and then sat on it with Xu Dani.
Immediately afterwards, Li Guoqiang also sat on the sled with a sharp knife in his hand, and then shook the reins hard, signaling the sika deer to start moving forward.
In this way, if the elk loses control, he can use a sharp knife to cut the sled traction rope in time to prevent a rollover accident.
Moreover, even if any unexpected situation occurs, with his abilities and small world, he can ensure the personal safety of Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani.
After a while, under the gaze of Xu Yuping and Zhu Caixia, the sika deer trotted along, pulling the sled and disappeared on the village road.
Looking at the obedient appearance of the sika deer, Qu Yinfeng finally felt relieved and a very happy smile appeared on her face.
As for Xu Dani, there is no need to say more, her little face was full of joy and excitement.
After more than three hours of travel, the three of them successfully arrived at Wangjiatun, Shuangmajia Commune next door, and then headed straight to the west end of the village.
Soon, they arrived in front of three slightly dilapidated thatched houses.
Li Guoqiang pulled the reins to stop the sika deer, then got off the sled with Qu Yinfeng, Xu Dani and others, stood at the gate of the yard and looked into the yard.
According to Qu Yinfeng's introduction, he knew that Xu Dani's grandfather had passed away a long time ago, and only her grandmother, uncle and aunt were left in the family.
However, due to the lack of contact over the years, Qu Yinfeng didn’t know whether Xu Dani’s grandmother was still alive, or how her uncle and aunt were doing.
Li Guoqiang looked at it for a while, then immediately turned around and tied the sika deer to the courtyard wall.
Qu Yinfeng took a few steps forward and shouted a few words loudly into the yard.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law!"
"Who?"
After a while, a shout suddenly came from the room, and then a little girl of about eleven or twelve opened the door and walked out, followed by an old lady with silver hair.
"mother-in-law!"
Upon seeing this, Qu Yinfeng hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically.
"Ouch!"
Gong Caihua was slightly stunned when she saw Qu Yinfeng's ruddy, plump, and energetic face. Then she shouted with surprise, "Mother-in-law, why are you here?"
As she spoke, she hurried to the gate of the courtyard, pulled open the loose door, and then held Qu Yinfeng's hand tightly.
"Mother-in-law, we haven't seen each other for many years. It's great to see you now!"
Qu Yinfeng looked at Gong Caihua's wrinkled old face and spoke excitedly.
In the past, she often wanted to bring Xu Dani to visit Gong Caihua, but the journey was more than a hundred miles, and she also had to take care of Xu Guangshan, so she never came.
Now, thanks to Li Guoqiang, she can finally let Xu Dani see her grandmother with her own eyes, and when she passes away, she will have the face to meet her poor daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly pulled Xu Dani, who was hiding behind her, out, and urged: "Dani, hurry up, call grandma!"
"Grandma!"
Xu Dani raised her head timidly, looked at Gong Caihua, and then called out in a low voice.
"Eh!"
Gong Caihua looked at the slightly frail little girl in front of her, nodded excitedly, then suddenly reached out and pulled Xu Dani into her arms, crying out with red eyes, "My poor granddaughter!"
Seeing this, Xu Dani was about to struggle hard, but after feeling Gong Caihua's sincere love, she couldn't help but slowly relax, and even took the initiative to hug Gong Caihua.
At this time, the little girl who was about eleven or twelve years old also came over quietly, secretly looking at Li Guoqiang with curiosity, as if she wanted to know who this handsome big brother was?
Li Guoqiang also noticed the little girl's gaze, smiled at her, and immediately made her lower her head in shame.
Not long after, with the comfort of Qu Yinfeng, Gong Caihua finally stopped crying. Then, just as she was about to invite Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani into the house, she suddenly discovered a stranger, Li Guoqiang.
"Mother-in-law, who is he?"
"Oh!"
When Qu Yinfeng heard Gong Caihua's question, she quickly answered, "His name is Li Guoqiang. He is an educated youth who came from the city. He is now our boss."
"The boss?"
Gong Caihua was slightly stunned, then looked at Qu Yinfeng with a puzzled look, not understanding what this meant.
"This is what happened!"
Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng immediately laughed and told the whole story of what happened after Li Guoqiang came to their house.
Among them, special emphasis was placed on how good Li Guoqiang was to Xu Dani.
After hearing this, Gong Caihua hurriedly stepped forward, tightly grasped Li Guoqiang's hand, and said with gratitude: "Little brother, my poor granddaughter is really grateful to you for taking care of her. You are my great benefactor!"
"Otherwise, I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see her again in this life!"
"aunt!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly said humbly, "You are too kind. This is what I should do." "You are such a good person!"
Seeing that Li Guoqiang was so young and yet he was willing to do good without expecting anything in return, Gong Caihua gave him a good guy card without saying a word.
Then, at her warm greeting, Li Guoqiang hurriedly turned around to pick up the gifts he brought from the sled, and followed Xu Dani and Qu Yinfeng into the house.
When Li Guoqiang placed the gifts one by one on the kang table, Gong Caihua was stunned.
[These things are too many and too expensive! ]
Not to mention the two pheasants, the two rabbits, the ten-pound bag of wheat flour and the bags of candy, melon seeds and peanuts, just the two bottles of Lao Baigan and the carton of premium cigarettes were enough for her to brag to others.
As far as I can remember, in their village, even the things given as betrothal gifts are just this much at best.
If you didn’t know, you would think someone came to their house to propose marriage!
"My dear relatives, these things are a little gift from Qiangzi and I. Please don't despise them!"
When Qu Yinfeng saw Gong Caihua's surprised look, she felt happy and then hurriedly spoke with a laugh.
"Look what you said!"
Gong Caihua came to her senses after hearing this and immediately rolled her eyes, "These things cost at least a dozen yuan, how dare I despise them!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Qu Yinfeng nodded and said cheerfully, "Dani has never had the chance to come visit you over the years. Now that she finally came this time, she must bring you some good things as a token of her filial piety."
As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced into the house, then asked, "By the way, where are her uncle, aunt, and aunt? Aren't they home?"
"Oh!"
Gong Caihua was slightly stunned, then quickly answered: "Her uncle and aunt took the two little ones to their mother's house early in the morning! Her aunt also got married two years ago, and now only my eldest granddaughter and I are left at home."
"Hey, Xiaomei, what are you doing standing at the door? Come over here and call someone!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaomei quickly withdrew her gaze from the candies, melon seeds, and peanuts, and slowly walked to the edge of the kang, shouting to Qu Yinfeng and Li Guoqiang one by one: "Happy New Year, grandma, happy New Year, uncle!"
"Eh!"
Qu Yinfeng looked at the well-behaved little girl in front of her, smiled and nodded in agreement, then took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it over.
"Thank you grandma!"
Wang Xiaomei's eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out to take the red envelope, and did not forget to say thank you.
Then she turned her head and looked at Li Guoqiang, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Ah!"
Li Guoqiang was delighted upon seeing this, and without saying a word he took out a red envelope from his pocket.
"Thank you uncle!"
Wang Xiaomei was delighted and hurried forward to take the red envelope, and also did not forget to say thank you.
Although the red envelopes she received would eventually be taken away by her parents, this did not affect her happiness.
When Xu Dani saw this, she couldn't help but glance at Gong Caihua, obviously hoping to receive a red envelope as well.
Gong Caihua noticed Xu Dani's little action, and hurriedly turned around to open the kang cabinet, took out a red envelope and handed it to Xu Dani.
"Thank you grandma, I wish you good health and a long life."
Xu Dani's eyes lit up, and then she quickly reached out to take the red envelope with a happy look on her face.
"Eh!"
When Gong Caihua heard Xu Dani's blessing, she smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "You have such a sweet mouth!"
However, as she laughed, she suddenly thought of her poor daughter, and a trace of mist welled up in her eyes again.
How great it would be if her daughter were still alive!
"oops!"
Qu Yinfeng saw Gong Caihua smiling and then suddenly lowered her head and wiped her tears. She hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Let the past be the past! We still have to look forward while we are still alive."
"Ok!"
Gong Caihua nodded, then said a little embarrassedly: "You are right, we should look forward."
"Well, you guys sit here and rest for a while, I'll go cook for you!"
After saying that, she picked up the two pheasants and wanted to get up from the kang to go out and cook.
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you! I'm free anyway!"
Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng immediately went out to the outer room with Gong Caihua to cook, leaving only Li Guoqiang, Xu Dani and Wang Xiaomei in the room.
"Here, this candy is for you!"
Li Guoqiang looked at Wang Xiaomei, who looked uneasy, smiled slightly, reached out and took a candy and handed it to her.
Wang Xiaomei looked at the candy, then at Li Guoqiang, then slowly reached out to take the candy, lowered her head to peel off the outer shell of the candy, and gently put it into her mouth. An intoxicated look instantly appeared on her face, just like a little squirrel stealing pine cones.
Seeing this, Xu Dani hurriedly reached out and shook Li Guoqiang's arm, with a look of desire on her face.
Li Guoqiang turned his head and felt happy, then he quickly reached out and took a candy and put it into Xu Dani's hand.
Xu Dani grabbed the candy and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face. Then she quickly peeled off the candy's outer shell and stuffed the candy into her mouth.
Then, while lying in Li Guoqiang's arms, she looked at Wang Xiaomei curiously and asked, "Cousin, how old are you?"
"I'm eleven, how about you?"
"I'm seven!"
"Oh! Then you are five years younger than me!"
"Um"
Soon, the two little girls came together and started chatting with great interest.
Li Guoqiang did not disturb them, but just sat quietly by and watched them play.
At the same time, he was also thinking about what to do next.
Although he no longer has to worry about food and drink and can just lie down, one still has to do something so as not to waste his time.
Otherwise, what’s the difference between it and salted fish?
Now, there are still more than two months before the spring, and it is covered with ice and snow outside, making it inconvenient to do anything.
Not to mention that these days, there are all kinds of restrictions.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything that would be more suitable.
Little did he know that just when he was feeling a little bored with his future life, a conscription document was suddenly sent from Chang County to Majiadian Commune, and then passed on to Jinshanbao Production Brigade, which soon attracted the attention of some interested people.
