Chapter 192 Life is short, enjoy it while you can
"What do you say?"

Facing Li Guoqiang's questioning, Ma Shufen neither admitted nor denied it, but simply threw the question back, with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashing across her face.

Originally, she thought that even if the deal failed, there was still friendship, so she went to Li Guoqiang's house with good intentions to introduce him to someone from the county supply and marketing company so that Li Guoqiang could solve the problem of sales channels. He could even represent the Jinshanbao Production Brigade and negotiate a production contract with the county supply and marketing company and get an advance payment, so that the villagers would support the work of the apiary more and gain greater say.

However, she didn't expect that after waiting at her parents' home for two full days, she still didn't get any reply from Li Guoqiang, as if he had never said anything.

In order to prevent Li Guoqiang from misunderstanding her meaning and to find out what was going on, she had no choice but to take the initiative to come out of her mother's house and quietly block the road halfway.

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea that Ma Shufen had visited him at home. He looked at Ma Shufen's resentful expression and felt a little happy. Then, he changed his usual attitude of rejecting people from a thousand miles away and nodded and said, "Okay! Since you insist so much, I'll take it as a good deed."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked towards the apiary.

Seeing this, Ma Shufen was stunned for a moment. For a moment, she didn't understand what Li Guoqiang meant.
Li Guoqiang walked for a while and noticed that Ma Shufen had not caught up. He frowned slightly, then turned around and urged her in a bad mood: "Hey, do you still need my help? If you do, hurry up."

Hearing this, Ma Shufen was startled, then stared at Li Guoqiang with wide eyes in disbelief, as if she had not expected that Li Guoqiang would agree to help her.

Then she saw that Li Guoqiang had started walking again. Without thinking too much, she hurriedly followed him.

After a while, she followed Li Guoqiang and walked into the wooden house on the far left of the apiary.

Then, before she could open her mouth to ask what Li Guoqiang meant, her mouth was suddenly blocked.

At this time, the sky outside had turned gray, as if foreshadowing that a violent storm was about to come.

Soon after, accompanied by the cries of a wild cat, dust fell from the roof of the wooden house, and the ground, which had just been leveled, became a little muddy.

As the storm grew more violent, the wild cat's cries became more rapid, until the flood flooded the valley and rushed down, and it suddenly let out a shrill cry.

When the flood receded, all you could see was devastation.

The wild cat's face was full of dismay, as if he had not yet recovered from this sudden change in his life.

At the same time, Shang Xiuzhen, who had returned to the educated youth point, sat quietly on the kang. The scene of Li Guoqiang directing everyone to work kept replaying in her mind, and she couldn't help feeling envious.

She originally thought that Li Guoqiang would work in the fields with them under the leadership of Shao Ruian.

As a result, she didn't expect that Li Guoqiang could actually convince the brigade to support him in running a bee farm, and thus he transformed himself into a bee farm director who was more powerful than the pigherd and shepherd.

In the future, not only will you not have to work in the fields, you can get full work points and you can even have people to order you around. It's really cool.

Moreover, if they could successfully raise 30 groups of bees and produce 1500 kilograms of honey, allowing the villagers to receive a very considerable extra income, then they would truly gain both fame and fortune.

Not to mention, bee farms have the potential to become a pillar industry.

If it really develops well, maybe it can become a model and then be presented to the city, province, or country to receive commendations. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

At this moment, Shang Xiuzhen also understood why Li Guoqiang had looked down on the opportunity to join the army.

If she had such a bright road in her hands, she would never go through all the trouble to achieve it.

Just as she was wondering whether she would have the opportunity to join this cause in the future, the other educated youth were all feeling envious and jealous of Li Guoqiang.

Especially Shao Ruian, he felt a sense of unwillingness and resentment in his heart.

He finally used Li Guoqiang as a springboard to get close to Sun Maocai and became the leader of the male educated youth group. However, he found out in the blink of an eye that Li Guoqiang had quietly set up his own business. Not only did he lose the possibility to continue to please Sun Maocai, but he also left him completely behind.

Next, if he cannot make any great contribution to the production team, he will be destined to live under the shadow of Li Guoqiang forever, and even if there is any opportunity to return to the city in the future, it will never be his turn.

This was absolutely unbearable for him, who had always been arrogant.

However, he also knew that he had no way to deal with Li Guoqiang for the time being, so he could only lie in wait and wait for the right opportunity.

Moreover, compared with competing with Li Guoqiang, the most important thing facing him now is how to accept other male educated youth as dogs and become a real team leader.

"Okay, it's getting late, pack up and go back!"

Li Guoqiang stretched out his hand and pushed the large millstone, then laughed and urged.

"Don't interrupt me first!"

Ma Shufen's eyes widened when she heard that, and then she asked in a somewhat embarrassed and annoyed manner: "Let me ask you, didn't you say you would help me? Why did you take it out just now?"

"Yup!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said seriously: "I did say I would help you, but I didn't say I would help you give birth to a baby!"

"That"

Ma Shufen was stunned for a moment, then asked stupidly, "So what did you help me with?"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he saw this, and then he said jokingly with a mischievous smile: "Look at what you said, don't you know what I am doing to help you? Look at how much sweat you have on your body, and how rosy your complexion is. I am helping you detoxify, beautify your skin, and regulate your body!"

Ma Shufen: “.”

"okay!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Ma Shufen's disheveled face, and before she could get angry, he waved his hand and said, "Please clean yourself up and don't let anyone find out. I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked out, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Ma Shufen finally came to her senses. She was about to curse, but suddenly she didn't know what to curse.
After all, she was the one who started all this. Even if Li Guoqiang took advantage of her, there was no reason to blame him.

What's more, with Li Guoqiang's good looks and his extraordinary detoxification and beauty skills, it is still a question who is taking advantage of whom!
In the end, she just opened her mouth and sighed coquettishly.

"Ah! What a little enemy!"

Soon, Li Guoqiang returned home with brisk steps.

After realizing that he had taken a wrong path, his mentality has become much more casual, with a sense that life is short and one should enjoy life while it lasts. Anyway, he only needs to stick to the principle of not actively harming others, and he can do whatever he wants with other things.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of God's letting him live again?

When Xu Yuping saw Li Guoqiang coming back, she immediately went to bring hot water and carefully helped him wash his hands and face, completely unaware that he had just found a good sister for her.

Afterwards, Qu Yinfeng hurriedly brought out the steaming hot meal so that Li Guoqiang could have a hot meal as soon as he got home.

Although she already knew that Li Guoqiang would not hold on to the last incident, she still couldn't feel as at ease as before, so she naturally worked harder.

Li Guoqiang could also see this, but he didn't say anything deliberately, nor did he try to be polite to Qu Yinfeng. He just sat in the main seat and enjoyed the corrupt life at this moment.

As he was eating, he suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Auntie, Sister Yuping, you will start working in a few days, right?"

"Yup!"

Qu Yinfeng nodded, and then explained: "Usually in previous years, we have to go to the fields to turn the soil and raise seedlings at this time, otherwise we will miss the spring ploughing!"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "I would advise you not to work too hard. Just get the average work points. I can get the full amount of work points anyway, plus we can go hunting in the mountains from time to time, which is enough for our family to live a good life."

"Also, from now on, Xiaoxia and Dani will do all the housework such as washing and cooking. They will also be responsible for delivering meals to you."

"Since they are part of this family, they have to learn to do things within their ability."

After hearing this, Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.

Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia hesitated for a moment, then nodded to indicate that there was no problem. The main point was that the child was well-behaved and obedient.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.

In fact, if the school had not been suspended, he would have wanted Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani to go to school.

In order to prevent Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia from staying at home doing nothing and becoming lazy and idle, he could only assign some housework to them.

Fortunately, Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia are not naughty children by nature. They just need some correct guidance and there is no need to worry about them growing up in the wrong way.

This made him feel much less worried.

After dinner, Xu Yuping went to boil water for her family to take a bath as usual. Then, without waiting for Li Guoqiang to say anything, she took the initiative to open the big water tank and started to work hard. It was obvious that she was a little drunk.

Li Guoqiang accepted all the challenges and defeated Xu Yuping in just a few moves.

With his unique watering skills, he can grow the most beautiful flowers even if he has a lot of land.

Early the next morning, Xu Yuping woke up Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia, and taught them how to make breakfast.

After Li Guoqiang got up, washed, and practiced various martial arts skills, Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia immediately brought the breakfast they had prepared to the table on the kang with a look of congratulation, and then waited eagerly for Li Guoqiang's comments.

Li Guoqiang looked at the bowl of cornmeal, a basket of fresh meat buns, a plate of hot and sour potato shreds and a dish of pickles on the kang table, with a look of slight surprise on his face.

He didn't expect that Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia could make such a good breakfast for the first time.

Then, he reached out and picked up a not-so-pretty-looking fresh meat bun, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and instantly smelled a fresh, fragrant and soft taste that made him nod in praise.

"Not bad! You made this bun very well. You have at least 60% to 70% of Sister Yuping's skills. Keep up the good work and try to make it even more delicious."

"yeah!"

When Xu Dani and Zhu Caixia heard Li Guoqiang's praise, they couldn't help but cheer and completely forgot about the fillings of the buns. Most of the preparation was done by Xu Yuping.

When Xu Yuping saw them like this, she did not open her mouth to expose the matter. She just smiled gently without saying anything.

Soon, Li Guoqiang finished his breakfast, then rejected Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping's idea of ​​going to the apiary to help, and left home alone.

Not long after, he arrived at the wooden house of the apiary, took various carpentry tools, and started making beehives.

Generally speaking, a beehive is where bees live and is an essential tool for beekeepers to tame bees.

A complete set of beehives includes a base box, super box, queen excluder, cover, box lid, nest door, gate and partition. Each part has different functions and none of them is indispensable.

In addition, beehives are generally divided into ten-frame beehives, Dadan beehives, twelve-frame square beehives, etc. Their specifications and sizes are different, but the structural principles are basically the same. The most suitable beehive is selected mainly based on the type and strength of the bee colony.

With L6 breeding skills and experience, these things were not a problem for Li Guoqiang. Soon, he designed the most suitable beehive structure and then started working hard.

With his strong physical fitness, superb strength techniques, and advanced carpentry skills, he successfully made his first beehive in less than two hours.

Then he took a quick look at the beehive, made sure there was nothing that needed to be modified, and then went straight to making the next beehive.

He was busy until noon, and finally he successfully made four beehives. Then he obtained an additional 40 beehives through Dad Jin, which temporarily met the needs of the apiary.

Next, he just needs to take out the beehives from the storage space from time to time.

After solving the problem of the beehive, the only thing left before him was the bee colony.

He packed up his carpentry tools first, then walked out of the cabin, raised his head slightly and looked towards the mountains behind the apiary, vaguely seeing dots of green.

Based on the beekeeping knowledge he had mastered, he knew that although it was not yet time for the bees to start collecting honey, many bee colonies had already entered the period of leaving the nest.

Therefore, as long as he is willing to spend time looking, he will be able to find some beehives.

By the way, he also has the opportunity to taste the honey that has been stored for a winter.

Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it!
