Chapter 244 Eye-opening
"Well, I'm back!"

Li Guoqiang looked at his wife, who was becoming more and more plump, charming, dignified and generous. He hurriedly grabbed Luo Huijuan's hand, then nodded excitedly and spoke.

"When will you come back this time?"

When Luo Huijuan saw Li Guoqiang being so intimate with her in public, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and happy, and then she hurriedly asked in a low voice.

“It’s not clear yet!”

Li Guoqiang shook his head, then laughed and replied, "It will probably take at least ten days or half a month!"

"so long?"

Luo Huijuan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Will this cause any trouble?"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, and then he handed the certificate he had just shown to everyone to Luo Huijuan, and said with some pride: "Don't worry, with these certificates, you won't have any problems staying in this city for ten days or half a month, even if you stay for three or four months."

"That's good, that's good!"

Luo Huijuan reached out to take the certificate, glanced at it quickly, and then heard what Li Guoqiang said. The heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled down completely.

Then, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and anticipation in her heart. She wished she could stay with Li Guoqiang right away for three days and three nights so that she could satisfy her craving.

Just as she was secretly thinking about Li Guoqiang's skill in making buns, Li Guoqiang simply waved his hand and called Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan who had just unloaded the goods.

Afterwards, before he could open his mouth to introduce Luo Huijuan, the two girls, Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, suddenly came over, and then stood in a row with Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan, facing him and Luo Huijuan, as if they were concubines paying their respects to the master and the mistress.

When Luo Huijuan saw this, she was stunned. She turned her head to look at Li Guoqiang suspiciously, with a questioning look in her eyes.
[Are you trying to tell me that these five beautiful girls are the sisters you found for me in the countryside? ]

"Forehead"

Li Guoqiang understood Luo Huijuan's eyes and felt a little embarrassed in an instant.

However, he still looked calm on the surface, and then he said seriously: "Well, wife, let me introduce them to you. They are all educated youths who went to work in the Jinshanbao Production Brigade like me. You can get to know each other later."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the several waiters nearby, took out money from his pocket to pay the bill. By the way, he did not forget to instruct the four men, Xu Yuchang, Xu Laosan, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongying, to move the large baskets of honey combs into his yard.

Seeing Li Guoqiang like this, Luo Huijuan could only temporarily suppress the doubts in her heart and greeted Shang Xiuzhen and others with a generous smile.

Soon, she learned from Shang Xiuzhen and others their names and why they came into the city together.

Perhaps it was a woman's natural intuition that made her immediately realize that when Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan mentioned Li Guoqiang, there was a slight difference from when they talked about Li Guoqiang and when they talked about Li Guoqiang with Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling. Not only did their words seem more familiar, but there was even an unusual closeness to them.

Therefore, she was even more certain that there must be some kind of relationship between Li Guoqiang and Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan that she didn't know about.

As for the specific relationship, she was not too anxious to know.

Because she believed that Li Guoqiang would find an opportunity to tell her next time.

After a brief acquaintance, she hurriedly called Shang Xiuzhen and others to go into the courtyard with her. At the same time, she also greeted the neighbors who were watching the excitement and asked them to disperse.

Soon, except for the residents of the courtyard who were still following behind to see the novelty, everyone else went back to their homes with surprise on their faces.

Originally, they thought that Li Guoqiang's going to the countryside to help the production brigade set up a apiary and receiving the old man's commendation was surprising and admirable enough. However, they did not expect that Li Guoqiang could now represent the production brigade and come back to the city to set up a apiary office.

This is simply a case of a knife pulling the butt, it's really eye-opening!
As people kept talking about it, the news that Li Guoqiang had returned from the countryside and was planning to set up an office to sell honey spread like a whirlwind and became a topic of conversation for many people after dinner.

At the same time, Li Guoqiang saw that there were so many neighbors following behind to watch the fun, so he directly asked Luo Huijuan to take people into the house, take out the tables, chairs and benches, and prepare to hold a tea party in the courtyard, so that the people in the courtyard and Shang Xiuzhen and others could get to know each other well, so as to avoid any jokes in the future.

Soon after, not long after, Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, who had gotten up early to buy groceries and take a walk, came back with a basket of fresh vegetables and some soy milk and fried dough sticks. As soon as they walked outside their home, they were surprised by the lively scene in the yard.

[What on earth happened? Why did my family become so chaotic just because I went out? ]

Just when Li Dawei and Yao Meilan were both confused, Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan suddenly walked out of the kitchen with two large pots of honey water in their hands.

Afterwards, before they could give some to their neighbors to try, they heard a surprised shout coming from the gate of the courtyard.

"Hadron!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly looked up towards the gate of the courtyard.

The next moment, Yao Meilan and Li Dawei ran towards him with surprise on their faces, and then each reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Qiangzi, why did you come back so suddenly?"

"I say, you are really something. Why didn't you tell your family in advance that you were coming back?"

"Dad, Mom, I came back in a hurry this time, so I didn't write a letter. Otherwise, when I came back, the letter wouldn't have arrived yet!"

Li Guoqiang saw the complaints on the two elders' faces and hurriedly explained.

"That's true!"

After hearing what Li Guoqiang said, Li Dawei and Yao Meilan did not dwell on the issue anymore. Instead, they turned to look at the neighbors in the courtyard and asked with confusion on their faces, "What's going on? You just came back, how come you attracted all the neighbors in the courtyard?
Also, who are those little girls and those big men over there? Why do they look so unfamiliar to me? Where are they from?"

"Dad, Mom, this is what happened."

When Li Guoqiang heard Li Dawei and Yao Meilan asking about this, he quickly spoke up and briefly explained the situation, then took out the document he had previously used to prove the situation and showed it to them. "So that's what happened!"

Soon, a look of realization appeared on Li Dawei and Yao Meilan's faces, and without saying a word, they proudly helped to entertain the neighbors. By the way, they also did not forget to greet Shang Xiuzhen, Xu Yuchang and others, so as to avoid people thinking that they were neglecting their guests.

At the same time, Luo Huijuan kept moving among the crowd, distributing a small cup of honey water to everyone.

All of a sudden, the courtyard was filled with the sound of gurgling.

Moreover, some people keep smacking their lips after drinking honey water, as if they are savoring the sweet taste of honey.

Since it was just daybreak, after hearing that there was honey water to drink, those who had originally been unable to save face and run over to flatter Li Guoqiang, came over one after another, and soon the entire courtyard was packed.

Among them, the last people to arrive were the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu.

The first people to occupy the position were the third uncle Yan Bugui and his family and Jia Zhang.

Even the deaf old lady had to be supported by an old lady.

This shows how tempting sweetness is to people at this time.

If the times had allowed it, Li Guoqiang would probably have wanted to open a shop selling honey tea.

Not long after, when Luo Huijuan shouted loudly to inform everyone that the honey water had been distributed, everyone got up and left with some reluctance, leaving the space to Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan, asking them to entertain Shang Xiuzhen, Xu Yuchang and others.

Although they usually scheme and quarrel a lot for their own selfish reasons, they still have to have some shame in front of outsiders, at least not letting others know their true colors at once.

And this is the main reason why so many people came just now but no trouble was caused.

"Well, I'm sorry! There were quite a lot of neighbors here just now, so I didn't have time to greet you. I hope you don't take it to heart."

After sending away the oldest deaf old lady in the hospital, Li Guoqiang immediately came back and walked in front of Xu Yuchang and others, and spoke with an apologetic look on his face.

As for Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan, it was good enough that we didn't ask them to help entertain the guests. There was no need to apologize to them.

"It's okay, it's okay, Qiangzi, you don't have to worry about us, we can take care of ourselves!"

"Qiangzi, look at what you said. We are not guests here. If you really want to say that, I don't have the face to stay here any longer."

"That's right! Qiangzi, you don't have to be so polite to us. We are all your soldiers now."

"."

When Xu Yuchang, Xu Laosan and others heard what Li Guoqiang said, they hurriedly said that it didn't matter, and some even took this opportunity to show their loyalty to him.

There is no other way. It is because the conditions in this city are so good in all aspects that they wish they could stay here forever.

If he wants to stay here, he must get Li Guoqiang's consent and help.

Therefore, some more ambitious people have already started thinking about how to satisfy Li Guoqiang.

Especially Xu Yuchang, when he saw Luo Huijuan, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, Yu Li and other wives of the courtyard, his eyes were almost popped out, and then an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

He had to find a way to stay in the city and marry a wife as attractive as Luo Huijuan, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru and Yu Li.

In fact, this is not to say that Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan, or even the slightly inferior Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, are not as good as Luo Huijuan and Qin Huairu. It is mainly because the dress and temperament of city people are more able to attract Xu Yuchang's attention.

Li Guoqiang was naturally unaware of this. When he saw that everyone was so obedient and well-behaved, he couldn't help feeling satisfied and hurriedly invited them to come into the house and sit down.

At this time, Li Dawei, Yao Meilan, Luo Huijuan and others, with the help of Shang Xiuzhen and others, moved the tables, chairs and benches that had been moved out earlier back into the house.

Then, Shang Xiuzhen and others saw Luo Huijuan go to the kitchen, and hurriedly followed her, wanting to get more familiar with Luo Huijuan to avoid arousing Luo Huijuan's suspicion when they were with Li Guoqiang in the future.

Little did they know that Luo Huijuan had already noticed that something was not right between them and Li Guoqiang, and was waiting for Li Guoqiang to confess to her!

Therefore, their actions would only backfire and make Luo Huijuan even more convinced that there was something unspeakable going on between them and Li Guoqiang.

Not long after, Luo Huijuan brought Shang Xiuzhen and others to the kitchen to make a few cold dishes and brought them into the house. Then, they saw Li Dawei speaking with confidence:
"Qiangzi, don't worry. Just leave the matter of finding a house to open an office to me. I promise that I can find a suitable house for you in less than two days."

"to make!"

Seeing that Li Dawei was so positive and confident, Li Guoqiang didn't think much about it and nodded and agreed, "Then I'll trouble you with this matter!"

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of the accommodation problem for Xu Yuchang and others, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Dad, there is one more thing you need to help me figure out, which is where should my friends stay for the next two days?
It's impossible for half of the people to live in our house and the other half to stay in a guest house outside, right? "

"Harmful!"

After hearing this, Li Dawei couldn't help but said in a somewhat annoyed tone: "I thought it was something else! This is easy, I have already considered it for you."

At this point, he put his mouth close to Li Guoqiang's ear, lowered his voice and continued, "Well, in our courtyard, your uncle Guangliang will go to Jinshi to live with his eldest son in a while, and he is thinking about how to deal with their house!

During lunch time, you can go to his house and ask if you can buy their house privately!
Anyway, you have brought back a lot of money for your family before, so buying a house like this shouldn’t be a problem.”

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately thought of Dai Guangliang's family who lived at the gatehouse of the courtyard, and then nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, I'll go ask later."

After saying this, he thought to himself that this was really like falling asleep and hitting the pillow.

If we could take advantage of this opportunity to take over Dai Guangliang's house, wouldn't we be able to let Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan live with him?
