Chapter 197 Too Capable
It was evening in a blink of an eye.

Shang Xiuzhen and others, who had spent a day in other production teams, successfully completed the farm work at hand before the end of the work day. Then, they registered the full work points with Xu Yu'an, the accountant of the production team, feeling tired but fulfilled. They couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on their faces.

In contrast, the male educated youth group, when they heard the whistle for the end of work and saw that there was still at least one-third of the production task to be completed, their faces suddenly became very ugly.

This means that not only will they not get full work points, they may even be criticized in front of everyone.

You have to know that they are all young men in their teens, who are at the age when they care most about their reputation. If they were really scolded in front of everyone, it would undoubtedly be something very difficult to accept.

Just when they were secretly hoping that Sun Maocai would be as magnanimous as he was yesterday, they saw Sun Maocai and Sun Zhongping hurried over with dark faces, and then angrily scolded Shao Ruian: "What's wrong with you?"

"Other teams were able to complete their production tasks, so why didn't your team complete them? And there's still so much work left to do?"

"Can you be a good team leader? If not, get out of here as soon as possible. I can replace you with someone who can do it!"

"do not!"

When Shao Ruian heard Sun Maocai say he wanted to replace someone, his heart tightened, and he quickly opened his mouth and pleaded: "Secretary Sun, please give me another chance, I promise I can complete the production task tomorrow."

"You are such a blockhead, you can't accomplish anything!"

When Sun Maocai saw that Shao Ruian still hadn't realized the problem, he became so angry that he started cursing.

In fact, he wouldn't have been that angry.

But who could have blamed the female educated youth group for actually completing the production task on time by being assigned to other groups?
In comparison, doesn't that mean he is not as wise as Xu Guangfu?

Moreover, the daily production tasks of each production team were set in advance. If the male educated youth group failed to complete the production tasks on time, it would be equivalent to saying that their production team 2 failed to complete the production tasks on time.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but if it happened too often, it would be difficult for him to explain to other villagers.

Therefore, after scolding, he did not wait for Shao Ruian to say anything, but directly stated his decision.

"Since your performance is so poor, all your work points today will be reduced by half."

"Also, starting from tomorrow, your group will be disbanded first, and then assigned to other production teams to learn how to work. Once you are familiar with the work, we will re-establish the male educated youth group."

"When the time comes, whoever performs the best will be the team leader."

After saying this, he winked at Sun Zhongping who was standing next to him, indicating that he should record the work points, and then he left without looking back.

Soon after, Sun Zhongping also quickly followed, leaving only Shao Ruian and others standing there in a daze.

They never imagined that things would become so serious that their group would be disbanded.

If they had known this would happen, they might as well not have been grouped together from the beginning!

Among them, the most confused person is Shao Ruian.

He thought that Sun Maocai would at most give him a scolding, but in the end he directly removed his position as team leader.

Although he still has the opportunity to become a team leader again in the future.

However, this time he had no chips that could impress Sun Maocai.

Thinking that he would most likely become an ordinary team member and accept the leadership of Luo Weixiong and others, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

More importantly, if he can no longer become the team leader, he will never have the chance to surpass Li Guoqiang again.

Even if there is a chance to return to the city in the future, it will never fall on him.

How to do?
Just as Shao Ruian was anxiously thinking of a solution, Luo Weixiong and others also came to their senses from the incident and quickly realized that this was a great opportunity to show off.

Afterwards, they didn't care what Shao Ruian thought, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the educated youth site, wanting to ask the female educated youth about joining other production teams.

Not long after, they learned from Shang Xiuzhen and others about the benefits of joining other groups. They also learned that this idea was actually thought up by Li Guoqiang.

This surprised them, and they couldn't help but admire Li Guoqiang.

However, Shao Ruian is not included in this.

When he found out that all this was caused by Li Guoqiang, he was so angry that his face turned blue.

[Li Guoqiang, you are such a jerk. It would have been fine if you didn't stay in the male educated youth group and contribute to me before, but now you are actually ruining my good deeds behind my back.]

[Do you really think I'm afraid of you? ]

[Humph! Just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will make you pay for what you have done! ]

Soon it was time for the next morning.

Brigade cadres such as Xu Guangfu and Sun Maocai had just pulled the team to the fields and arranged production tasks, and then rushed to the apiary in the back mountain to see whether Li Guoqiang had really collected ten hives of bees from the mountains.

When they arrived at the apiary, Li Guoqiang was just making beehives at the door of the wooden house.

When he saw Xu Guangfu and others suddenly running over, he immediately realized that it must be Shang Xiuzhen and others who spread the news, and then he hurriedly smiled and greeted them: "Hey! Dear leaders, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

"okay!"

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu rolled his eyes immediately, and then said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Don't talk nonsense here, kid. The apiary has already started raising bees, which is such a big thing, and you didn't even report it to the brigade, and you asked us to come here specially to check the situation."

"It seems that you are quite arrogant!"

"Where there!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, and then he quickly waved his hand and explained: "I am thinking that when there are more bee colonies in the apiary and it is completely on track, I will invite the leaders to come and guide our work!"

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu's expression immediately eased a little, and then he began to teach him in a deep voice: "Your idea is good, but you also have to consider everyone's concern for the farm."

"You know, this is the first time our village has started a collective industry in all these years. You must be careful. If you mess up, I will tell you how I will deal with you!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Li Guoqiang heard Xu Guangfu's serious words and could only nod his head solemnly and admit his mistake: "I admit that I was negligent. I hope the leaders can forgive me. I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I will report to the team in time." "Yes!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu felt a little relieved, and then said with satisfaction: "I feel relieved when you say this."

In fact, he did not intend to teach Li Guoqiang a lesson in front of other brigade cadres. The main reason was that he was worried that Li Guoqiang was too young and ignorant, and that others would find something to hold against him and make use of the situation, thus destroying the current hard-won good situation.

Li Guoqiang's performance did not disappoint him. He immediately understood what he meant and said some polite words to shut up the others.

"Um, Qiangzi, please take us to see the situation of the bee colony!"

At this time, Sun Maocai, who was watching Xu Guangfu's performance, couldn't help but urge him impatiently.

In his opinion, all guarantees are false; only real bee colonies and sweet and delicious honey are real.

As long as Li Guoqiang can successfully run the apiary and bring rich extra income to the village, what problem would it be if he didn't report it in time?
The most he could do was to wait until the apiary was on track and Li Guoqiang was no longer of any use, and then find an excuse to let the Sun family pick the peaches.

And to wait until then, it will probably take at least two or three years!

Therefore, he really doesn't care about Li Guoqiang's performance now.

"Row!"

Li Guoqiang heard the urging and did not want to delay. He immediately nodded and agreed, "Then I will take you to see the situation of the bee colony now."

After saying that, he quickly stood up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu and others made way to the side and followed Li Guoqiang closely.

If you don’t know, you might think Li Guoqiang is their leader!

Soon, they arrived in front of the ten beehives containing bee colonies, and saw at a glance the worker bees flying in and out.

Then, in order to allow Xu Guangfu and others to see the situation of the bee colony more intuitively, Li Guoqiang selected a beehive on the outermost edge and gently opened the lid.

Since the queen bee is trapped at the bottom of the hive with the plywood, he doesn't have to worry about the swarm escaping.

Perhaps some people had suspected that Li Guoqiang was cheating before, but when they saw the densely packed bees in the beehive, everyone couldn't help but marvel at Li Guoqiang's efficiency.

If they remembered correctly, it had not even been a week since the apiary opened.

In such a short period of time, Li Guoqiang not only made so many beehives, but also collected ten nests of bees from the vast mountains. He is simply too capable.

According to this situation, let alone giving Li Guoqiang full work points, it would not be excessive even if he gave him a little more as a reward.

In addition, looking at the ten beehives with bees flying around in front of them, they also fully believed that Li Guoqiang had the ability to run a apiary and complete the production plan of 1500 kilograms of honey.

This means that the villagers will most likely be able to earn extra income, and will be more well-off if they want to do anything.

"Great! That's great!"

Xu Guangfu came back to his senses, looked at Li Guoqiang's face, and then nodded and praised him: "Qiangzi, you are great. It's worth it that all our brigade cadres believe in you."

"Whether all the villagers of Jinshanbao can have a good New Year next year depends entirely on you."

"I am here to express my opinion on behalf of the brigade. As long as you can keep up the good work and build the apiary, you can bring up any problem you have with the brigade, and the brigade will definitely try its best to find a solution for you."

"In addition, considering that you have achieved such remarkable results in such a short period of time, I suggest that you be rewarded with ten kilograms of rice."

"What do you think?"

Hearing this, Sun Maocai, Ma Chunmei and others hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Compared with the profits that can be brought by the apiary, what are ten kilograms of rice?
They must be crazy to raise objections!

"Ha ha!"

When Li Guoqiang saw the unexpected gain, he immediately smiled happily and nodded, saying, "Thank you, leaders."

Not long after, Xu Guangfu and others hurriedly left the apiary after asking the team if they needed any help.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Changshun personally delivered ten kilograms of rice to Li Guoqiang, and his words revealed a desire to get closer to him.

As a brigade cadre, he is naturally not so short-sighted.

Not to mention anything else, just the number of workers needed after the expansion of the apiary is worth his taking the initiative to show goodwill to Li Guoqiang.

What's more, Li Guoqiang has the right to dispose of honey that exceeds the production plan, just like the grain harvested in the village. If it exceeds the production plan, the excess can be handed over to the production team for distribution and processing.

Similarly, honey that exceeds the production plan will naturally be handed over to the apiary for disposal. Whether it is sold for money or exchanged for other things will be decided by Li Guoqiang.

If he could get a better relationship with Li Guoqiang, then he could get some honey from Li Guoqiang at a low price!
As for the idea of ​​finding an excuse to get rid of Li Guoqiang and replace him with someone from the Ma family as the director of the bee farm, he hasn't thought that far ahead yet.

Even if he really has to do this at that time, it will not prevent him from making friends with Li Guoqiang now.

Li Guoqiang was well aware of this, and he accepted the 10 kilograms of rice without hesitation. Then, through Jindie, he easily obtained an additional 100 kilograms of rice.

Although he no longer valued such a small amount of food, the feeling of being able to eat a free meal still made him very happy.

Afterwards, in order to avoid people noticing any problems, he did not choose to continue expanding the bee colony. Instead, he used teleportation to find a relatively secluded valley in the mountains and placed the 153 beehives that he had planned to release into the valley.

In addition, in order to protect the bees from attacks by wild animals such as bears, he planned to dig a trench around the beehives to disguise it as a trap.

Anyway, he usually has to dig some soil to expand his small world, so this way he can kill two birds with one stone.

While he was busy, Li Xiuqin, Ma Guifang and Zhang Mei'e, three workers from the apiary, heard that the apiary already had ten beehives. They didn't care that their protective clothing had not been prepared yet, and they directly took their needles and thread and other things and ran to the apiary to continue working, for fear that their places would be snatched away by others.

In addition, they did this because they were worried that people would gossip about them, saying that they only took work points but did not do any work.

The other villagers, who now knew that the apiary would most likely be built, were delighted.
