Chapter 237 I Have Divorced Him

That night, the threshing ground of the Jinshanbao Production Brigade was brightly lit with flames. All the members gathered together, sat on small stools, and looked at the brigade cadres sitting in front of the warehouse door with joy on their faces.

Although it has not been officially announced, they have all heard through the grapevine that the apiary has become a business run by the brigade.

From then on, their Jinshanbao Production Brigade became a place with industry.

Moreover, in the future, whether they are visiting relatives or looking for a matchmaker to introduce them to a date, they will have something to talk about.

More importantly, as the apiary expands, they will be able to receive more dividends at the end of the year.

If you have money in your pocket, do you still need to worry about having a hard time?

Thinking of the various benefits brought by the bee farm, the smiles on their faces unconsciously became even brighter.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Guangfu's excited voice was heard from the stage.

"I think everyone knows why we asked you to come to the meeting tonight!

That's right! From today on, the bee farm of our Jinshanbao Production Brigade is a brigade-run enterprise approved by the commune and the county government, just like the brewery and brick and tile factory in the commune.

From now on, everyone can stand up straight when they go out and tell others that we are also people who run enterprises with the brigade. What do you think?"

"it is good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of enthusiastic applause from the audience, as if a thunder had suddenly exploded.

Seeing everyone so happy, the brigade cadres sitting on the stage couldn't help but curl up their lips, their expressions full of pride.

After all, when talking about this matter in the future, they can't avoid mentioning the team leaders of their generation. According to rounding, wouldn't that mean their names will be recorded in the village history?
After a while, when everyone was a little quieter, Xu Guangfu hurriedly continued, "Well, in order to make our bee farm better and better, and to sell the honey produced by our bee farm at a higher price, Comrade Li Guoqiang is not afraid of difficulties and plans to lead people to set up an office in Sijiu City. Now let us give him a warm round of applause and hope that he will be successful next time."

After saying that, he immediately took the lead in clapping his hands.

The next moment, Sun Maocai, Ma Changshun and other brigade cadres immediately stood up and followed.

Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly stood up and applauded, while their eyes were fixed on Li Guoqiang, who was sitting at the front with Xu Yu'an and Sun Zhongping, the two production team accountants.

"Come on, Qiangzi, come up and say a few words to everyone!"

At this time, Xu Guangfu also waved to Li Guoqiang and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly stood up and walked forward, then turned around and gave everyone a confident smile.

"Good evening, fellow villagers!
I am honored to accept this task and represent the apiary to set up an office in Sijiu City!

When the time comes, when the office is on track, when the honey produced by our apiary is sold successfully, when the name of our Jinshanbao becomes known in Beijing, and when everyone has money in their pockets, I will take everyone to Tiananmen Square in Beijing to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

Everyone, what do you think? "

"it is good!"

Hearing Li Guoqiang's words, everyone's eyes lit up, and then suddenly burst into loud cheers.

To exaggerate a little, the farthest place the villagers of Jinshanbao have ever been to in their lives is the county town.

Therefore, let alone the old city, they never even thought of visiting the urban area.

If they really have the opportunity to go to Sijiu City to watch the flag-raising ceremony in this lifetime, then even if they die, they will die gloriously.

"Thank you everyone. I promise that I will never let you down in the future."

Li Guoqiang saw the light in everyone's eyes and felt a little happy. Then he raised his hand very quickly and saluted everyone.

Then, before everyone could react, he strode back to his seat.

Seeing this situation, Xu Guangfu had no choice but to stand up and take over the conversation again, telling everyone about the various arrangements regarding the apiary.

Among them, the most important issue is naturally the treatment of bee farm workers.

Since the apiary is a business run by the brigade and is directly linked to the brigade's work points, what is distributed to the workers is naturally work points.

Normally, an adult male worker can earn 10 work points for a day's work in the fields, while an adult female worker can earn 8 work points for a day's work in the fields.

Before this, the brigade gave Li Guoqiang, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others 10 work points every day.

Nowadays, since bee farms have become enterprises run by the brigade, they can no longer be generalized.

经过大队干部们开会讨论，最终定下了五级工分待遇，分别是养蜂场负责人18分、分场长15分、技术工12分、普工10分和学徒工8分。

In addition, they also determined the personnel structure of each apiary, which consists of a branch manager, a technical worker, two general workers and four apprentices.

In other words, in addition to Xu Yuping, Qu Yinfeng, Li Xiuqin, Ma Guifang and Zhang Mei'e, and the three people who have just been arranged in, there are also two educated youth who take turns to study at the apiary every day, a total of six more people need to be arranged.

This is very good news for everyone.

Because as long as two new apiaries are opened next year, at least one person from every household will be able to work in the apiary and get a job that guarantees a stable income regardless of drought or flood.

As for those who were unable to work in the apiary this year, the brigade decided to compensate them all with half the work points of an apprentice.

As a result, almost everyone raised their hands to pass the decision.

In addition, Xu Guangfu also told everyone about the various regulations of the apiary, including that they are not allowed to go to the apiary without permission and affect the normal work of the workers, the workers need to work according to the work process set by Li Guoqiang, the income and expenditure of each apiary must be approved by the brigade, etc.

Li Guoqiang didn't care too much about these trivial matters. Anyway, he had already got what he was supposed to get.

Moreover, the focus of his future work and life will be on the office. As long as it does not affect his normal work, he will let Xu Guangfu and others do it.

If he really messed up, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him. It would let the villagers know his importance and enhance his prestige.

Not long after, the village meeting was finally over. Everyone carried their stools and walked home, happily discussing their future beautiful life.

Just when Li Guoqiang was about to go home with Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping, he was suddenly stopped by Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan.

Therefore, he could only let Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping go back first, and stayed to talk to Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia, Pan Qiaoyan about the next trip to Sijiu City. "Well, the brigade agreed to let you go to Sijiu City with me to take charge of the office. You all know that, right?"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan all nodded in response, then revealed a look of great joy.

Among them, Pan Qiaoyan was particularly pleased. The look she gave Li Guoqiang clearly showed a hint of relief and gratitude.

Because she knew that if she had not gritted her teeth and made up her mind to ask Li Guoqiang for help, even at the cost of her own innocence, how could she have had this opportunity to return to the city now!

Moreover, Li Guoqiang never took the opportunity to take her down, but gave her enough time to prepare.

This made her feel grateful to Li Guoqiang, and at the same time, she had a better impression of Li Guoqiang.

If she had not later learned that Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia had both agreed to the same conditions of Li Guoqiang, and that Li Guoqiang was already married, she would probably have been desperate to give birth to a baby for Li Guoqiang.

Li Guoqiang saw Pan Qiaoyan's eyes that were about to tear, and he smiled slightly, then said softly: "Since you all already know, then I will briefly tell you about my arrangements.

Originally, I was planning to go to Sijiu City by myself, set up the office, and then come back to take you there.

But considering that you haven't been home for more than half a year, you need some time to reunite with your family and arrange accommodation and meals, so I thought of taking you back together.

When the time comes, you can go home and wait for my news."

"Great!"

When Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan heard that Li Guoqiang was going to take them to Sijiu City, they couldn't help but cheer.

In fact, the reason why they wanted to stop Li Guoqiang was to let Li Guoqiang take them away earlier.

After all, after the news spread that they were sent to work in Beijing, they were criticized by other educated youth, as if they had done something that was hated by God and man.

In addition, as long as they didn't go to Sijiu City, they would not be able to completely relax, for fear that Li Guoqiang would abandon them.

Therefore, after they got together to discuss, they decided to stop Li Guoqiang and, under the pretext of fulfilling their promise, asked Li Guoqiang to take them to Sijiu City as soon as possible.

However, what they didn’t expect was that Li Guoqiang would be so considerate that they could hardly hold him back.

If it weren't for the inappropriate time and place, they would probably all want to repay Li Guoqiang.

Soon, after learning the good news that they would set off early the next morning, they returned to the educated youth point hand in hand. As soon as they entered the door, they were met with jealous gazes from others.

In response, they could only pretend not to see it, and then went back to their beds to lie down and rest.

【Bitch! 】

Xu Wanling looked at the joy on the faces of Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan, and couldn't help but curse in her heart.

In fact, after she learned that Li Guoqiang was about to go to Sijiu City to set up an office, she couldn't help but be moved.

It was just because she had always been so noble that she had never made up her mind to ask Li Guoqiang for mercy, let alone use her own innocence as a condition.

Later, when she was still hesitant, she suddenly heard the news that the brigade agreed to let Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan go to Sijiucheng to work with Li Guoqiang. This was a direct blow to her, and she instantly felt a little regretful.

Especially every time she felt the pain from the blisters and cracks on her palms, she wished she could replace Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The only thing she could do was to get others to slander Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan behind their backs, hoping that the brigade would cancel their qualifications to return to the city to work.

This is also one of the main reasons why Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan were so eager to go to Sijiu City.

Although nothing unspeakable had happened between them and Li Guoqiang at this time, everyone should know that people's words are scary.

Some things, as they are passed on, will become true even if they are not true.

Fortunately, Li Guoqiang seemed to have considered this situation and directly set the departure date with Xu Guangfu. He was also considerate enough to bring Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan along, thus saving them from this hidden danger and trouble.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening of the next day.

Li Guoqiang had just returned from get off work at the bee farm. Before he even reached the door of his house, he saw a familiar-looking figure standing there.

When he came closer and took a look, a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face.

Because this person is none other than Ma Shufen, who is as beautiful as a peach.

She looked at the increasingly handsome and mature Li Guoqiang, her eyes slightly absent-minded, then smiled and said softly: "Congratulations! Qiangzi, in just a few months, you have helped everyone to create such a promising brigade-run enterprise, and then we will set up an office in Sijiu City.

I think it won’t be long before your fame spreads all over the country.”

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he laughed and asked, "Sister Shufen, it's rare for you to come back, you don't just want to congratulate me, do you?"

"of course not!"

Ma Shufen shook her head, and then said frankly: "I came back to my parents' home this time, on the one hand, I really wanted to congratulate you, and on the other hand, I wanted to tell you that I have divorced him."

After saying that, she looked at Li Guoqiang with a very complicated expression.

At the beginning, she just wanted to borrow something from Li Guoqiang because she thought Li Guoqiang had better conditions. However, who would have thought that not only did she fail to borrow the things, but she was bewitched by Li Guoqiang instead.

Because she was worried that she would get deeper and deeper into trouble, she could only flee back to the city in a hurry, hoping to use time to smooth everything out.

However, as time went by, the shadow in her heart not only did not disappear, but became clearer. She even often dreamed of Li Guoqiang at night.

Especially when she saw her moist skin slowly returning to its previous state under the erosion of time, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Therefore, this scene today happened.

To put it simply, the reason she came back this time was to let Li Guoqiang take charge.
