Chapter 184 Conspiracy
"His father, what do you think about what Guanglu just said?"

After seeing Xu Guanglu leave, Tian Guixiang saw that Xu Guangfu just sat on the kang smoking his pipe without saying a word. Suddenly, she couldn't help but reached out and pushed Xu Guangfu, then asked in a hurry.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm just thinking about it!"

Xu Guangfu glared and then spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

"Ouch!"

Tian Guixiang slapped her thigh with her hand, then said anxiously, "What else is there to think about? If Qiangzi is really allowed to join the army, then there will be no hope for our Xiaoying!"

"Look what you said!"

Xu Guangfu's face darkened, and he said impatiently: "You know what Xiaoying and Qiangzi are like now. Even if Qiangzi doesn't join the army, can they succeed?"

"If you ask me, instead of letting Qiangzi stay here, it would be better to let him join the army and completely stop Xiaoying from thinking about him."

"This way we can introduce her to other people in the future."

"This"

When Tian Guixiang heard what Xu Guangfu said, she was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a thoughtful look.

Don’t even say it!

Based on her understanding of her own daughter, she knew that if Li Guoqiang stayed in the village, it would be difficult for Xu Yuying to accept other partners.

Unless Xu Yuying and Li Guoqiang can really succeed in the future, otherwise, she will have to be prepared to let Xu Yuying stay at home as an old aunt.

"Ugh!"

Seeing that Tian Guixiang didn't say anything, Xu Guangfu couldn't help but sigh and said, "In fact, the most important thing now is not whether we are willing to let Qiangzi join the army, but that some people in the commune say that Qiangzi's marksmanship is so good that he should be sent to the army to make contributions to the country."

"Although this is not mandatory, if he refuses, Qiangzi's reputation will be ruined!"

"Who is this person?"

Tian Guixiang frowned, then said angrily: "Isn't this intentional to harm people?"

“We don’t know who it is yet!”

Xu Guangfu shook his head, then said softly: "But, I guess this has something to do with Ma Qixiong."

"Ma Qixiong?"

Tian Guixiang was slightly stunned, then asked hesitantly: "Isn't he already a vegetable? Why is he involved in the recruitment of soldiers now?"

"Besides, for educated youth like Qiangzi, joining the army is a good thing! At least they don't have to rely on those few work points every year to make a living, and they can have the opportunity to transfer to civilian jobs in the future."

"How could he be so kind?"

"Humph!"

Xu Guangfu snorted, then said angrily: "How can this be a kind heart? Don't forget, Qiangzi has only been here for less than two months, and he has already made several hundred yuan."

"Others go to the countryside to suffer, but he goes there to enjoy happiness."

"Except for not being able to go back to the city, his life now is no worse than those workers in the city."

"If I join the army, I will really suffer!"

"Besides, you know what happened when we fought the Japanese back then. Bullets are blind on the battlefield. If he gets hit by a bullet by accident, he will never be able to come back in this life!"

Tian Guixiang: “.”

You don’t know until you hear it, and it really is true once you hear it!
If other ordinary young people had the opportunity to join the army, they would be so happy!

But this is not really a good thing for Li Guoqiang.

Thinking that Li Guoqiang might be cheated, her heart tightened slightly, and then she asked hurriedly: "What should we do now? Qiangzi is a child who usually treats us well. We can't just watch him get cheated."

"I'm just thinking of a solution!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Guangfu glared and then spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

After saying this, he took a deep puff of his pipe, exhaled slowly, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

Although he did not want Li Guoqiang's existence to cause his little girl to become an old aunt.

But everything should be treated separately.

Just considering Li Guoqiang's daily filial piety towards him, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

However, because this was a complete conspiracy, he couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds no matter how much he thought about it.

At the same time, on the other side, Li Guoqiang, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Dani and others had finished their lunch at Gong Caihua's house and were preparing to return home.

Seeing this, Gong Caihua hurriedly took most of the things Li Guoqiang brought and asked Li Guoqiang to take them back. At the same time, she also prepared a laying hen for Xu Dani, which she could use to replenish her body.

Seeing this situation, Qu Yinfeng hurriedly stepped forward and tried to push the seat away without waiting for Li Guoqiang to say anything.

"Oh my! What are you doing? We brought all these things here, and now you want us to take them back. Isn't this a slap in our face?"

"No, you see there's nothing valuable at home. I can't let you go back empty-handed, right?"

"Okay, then we'll take this hen, and you can keep the rest!"

"How can this be possible?"

"If I say yes, it's fine. Otherwise, I won't dare to come next time!"

"That's fine then!"

After some tug of war, Qu Yinfeng and Gong Caihua finally reached an agreement.

Li Guoqiang also led the sika deer over, and then held Xu Dani and sat on the sled.

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng hurriedly put the laying hen into the basket, and then sat down next to Li Guoqiang.

"Mother-in-law, let's go! I'll bring Dani to see you next time when I'm free!"

"Hey, then be careful on the road, and be sure to come next time when you have time!"

"Drive~"

Soon, following Li Guoqiang's command, the sika deer began to run slowly, then pulled the sled and disappeared on the village road.

Gong Caihua held Wang Xiaomei's hand and stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Li Guoqiang and others go away, with a look of reluctance on her face.

Wang Xiaomei silently looked at Li Guoqiang's back, her eyes full of envy.

If possible, she also hopes that she can have an older brother as handsome and capable as Li Guoqiang!

On the way, Qu Yinfeng looked down at the hens in the basket, then looked at Xu Dani who was sitting in Li Guoqiang's arms with a happy face, and felt very happy in her heart.

At this moment, it can be said that she has no regrets. Even if she is asked to go down to see Xu Guangshan now, she can leave with a smile. However, people are greedy.

Seeing that life was getting better and better, she couldn't help but want to see Xu Dani grow up, get married and have children, and even thought about asking Xu Dani to find a grandson-in-law for her to continue the family line.

If she could really do these things, she would surely have a more radiant look on her face when she goes down to the underworld and sees Xu Guangshan, her son and daughter-in-law.

However, in order to achieve this goal, the most important thing is to let Li Guoqiang stay at home.

The best way to keep Li Guoqiang at home is to let him get married and have children in Jinshanbao.

As she thought about it, her mind couldn't help but emerge the scenes she accidentally saw after getting drunk on New Year's Eve, and her cheeks suddenly felt hot.

Judging from the way they are looking at each other, they should be able to get pregnant soon, right?
If she really gets pregnant, can't they get married?
Thinking of this, she immediately felt her heart pounding, and then wondered in her mind whether she should have a good talk with Xu Yuping when she got home and ask Xu Yuping to tighten the screws.

However, she changed her mind and thought about the great kindness Li Guoqiang had shown to their family. She couldn't bear to plot against Li Guoqiang, so she had to give up this plan in disappointment.

In the blink of an eye, more than three hours had passed.

Under the command of Li Guoqiang, the sled pulled the sled and ran for hundreds of miles.

Although he ran so hard that steam came out of his nostrils, he was still in good spirits. He was much stronger than the big dog.

Moreover, after the snow melts in spring, sika deer can be used to pull horse-drawn carriages, making them the best helpers.

In fact, as long as he wanted, he could always get ten more such helpers, and there was no need to worry about tiring the sika deer out.

Of course, if there is no need, he will not deliberately torment the elk. Instead, he will feed it well and then bring him ten other better elk.

Just as he was driving the sika deer into the village and preparing to go home, he met Shang Xiuzhen and Shao Ruian on the way.

When they saw Li Guoqiang actually using sika deer to pull the sled, they couldn't help but widen their eyes instantly.

"Li Guoqiang, have you really tamed this red deer?"

"Yes! You all saw it!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, then nodded and spoke.

"This"

"You are so awesome!"

Shang Xiuzhen looked at the sika deer that was standing there obediently and panting, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Although Shao Ruian didn't say anything, everyone could see the envy in his eyes.

"not bad!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang first spoke modestly, then asked curiously, "By the way, where are you going?"

"Oh!"

Shang Xiuzhen came back to her senses and answered, "We were just about to look for you! The captain asked us to go to his house and said he had something to discuss with us."

"That's it!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then quickly said: "Then you go first! I'll be there in a moment!"

After saying this, without waiting for Shang Xiuzhen and Shao Ruian to say anything, he simply swung the reins and drove the sika deer towards his home.

Shang Xiuzhen and Shao Ruian couldn't help feeling a little sad when they saw Li Guoqiang's familiarity.

We are all educated youth with the same head and two shoulders, so why is there such a big gap?
If you don’t know, you would think they are all trash!

Fortunately, Li Guoqiang did not live with them, otherwise, seeing Li Guoqi showing off every day, even if they were not jealous to death, they would be mad at their own incompetence!
Soon, they turned and walked towards Xu Guangfu's home, and after Li Guoqiang drove the sika deer back home, he also rushed to Xu Guangfu's home as soon as possible.

"Yo!"

Tian Guixiang was standing by the stove. When she saw Li Guoqiang push open the door and come in, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she hurriedly greeted him with a warm look on her face: "Qiangzi, you're here! Come in, come in and sit on the kang!"

"Eh!"

Li Guoqiang smiled and nodded in agreement, then walked forward, lifted the door curtain and went in.

At this time, Xu Guangfu was sitting in the main seat, smoking his pipe silently, while Shao Ruian and Shang Xiuzhen were sitting on both sides of him respectively.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang sat down next to Shao Ruian without thinking, then greeted Xu Guangfu with a smile.

"Uncle Fu, why did you suddenly call the three of us over here? What's the matter?"

"Come, take a look at this first!"

Xu Guangfu glanced at Li Guoqiang, then took out a red-headed document from his pocket and placed it on the kang table.

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang, Shang Xiuzhen and Shao Ruian quickly turned their eyes to the document and saw a title written at the top.

【Notice on launching spring military recruitment! 】

After reading this line of the title, Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

As far as he knew, although the educated youth could join the army these days, such good things generally did not happen to them. So why would Xu Guangfu specifically tell them about this matter now?

Is there any other explanation for this?
Soon, Li Guoqiang realized something was wrong and hurriedly looked at the contents of the file.

However, he read it three times and still couldn't figure out what was wrong. In the end, he could only look at Xu Guangfu with some confusion.

Shang Xiuzhen and Shao Ruian were different from Li Guoqiang. After reading the contents of the document, they immediately became excited.

Compared to staying here and living as a farmer on work points, they would naturally prefer to become a soldier to defend their country.

Especially Shang Xiuzhen, because she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, she had always admired those combat heroes. It was only because her family did not agree that she had never been able to join the army.

Now that she has this opportunity, she certainly can't miss it easily.

Soon, she couldn't wait to ask, "Captain, you let us see this, do you want us to sign up?"

"This is what happened!"

When Xu Guangfu heard Shang Xiuzhen's question, he didn't keep her in suspense and answered directly: "This spring conscription, our production team was given two quotas."

"One of the spots has been given to Ma Baoguo from Team 2 after a meeting of the brigade cadres."

"For the other vacancy, the commune leader hopes to recruit someone with better marksmanship."

At this point, he looked at Li Guoqiang calmly, and then continued, "So after a meeting of the brigade, it was finally decided to hold a shooting competition in the village in half a month to select the young man with the best shooting skills."

Hearing this, Shang Xiuzhen and Shao Ruian immediately fixed their eyes on Li Guoqiang, their eyes filled with disappointment.

They knew that this sounded fair, but with Li Guoqiang's amazing marksmanship, they had no chance at all.

However, they seem to have overlooked one question, that is, is Li Guoqiang willing?
