Chapter 245 Why can they do it but we can’t?
After finishing the business, not long after, Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others brought a large bowl of noodles with soybean sauce into the house, and then enthusiastically invited everyone to have breakfast.
Soon, a slurping sound was heard in the room, making people drool.
After finishing breakfast, Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan hurried out to go to work at the textile factory, leaving only Li Dawei, an early retired idler, and Li Guoqiang to accompany Xu Yuchang, Shang Xiuzhen and others.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia, feeling homesick, could not help but ask Li Guoqiang if they could go back home first to take a look.
Li Guoqiang naturally would not refuse this, and he told them not to rush back, but to stay at home and spend a day or two with their family.
When Pan Qiaoyan saw this, she felt a little envious, and then sat quietly aside wondering when she could go home.
As for Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, they were even more envious, or even jealous.
When Xu Yuchang, Xu Laosan, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun, the four big men of Jinshanbao, saw that Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia wanted to go home, they didn't say anything.
After all, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia were going to stay in Sijiu City to help run the office, unlike Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, so they naturally would not stop them.
If it were Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, they wouldn't be able to let them leave easily.
Otherwise, if any escape or accident occurred, they would not be able to explain to Xu Guangfu, Sun Maocai and other brigade cadres.
To put it bluntly, this time they came along, in addition to helping to carry honey and observing Li Guoqiang's actions, their most important responsibility was to bring the two female educated youth, Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, back to the village safely.
Soon, after getting Li Guoqiang's approval, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia took their luggage and hurriedly left the courtyard.
Because they were originally from this city, Li Guoqiang did not say that he would arrange for someone to send them home. He just handed them their respective return certificates to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.
Afterwards, he and Li Dawei chatted with Xu Yuchang and others and drank some tea.
It was almost eleven o'clock before he invited everyone to go out for dinner.
People like Xu Yuchang had come to the city with great difficulty. As the head of the office and a local boss, he naturally had to fulfill his duties as a host.
If nothing else, at least we have to treat them to a few roast ducks from Quanjude!
Led by Li Guoqiang and Li Dawei, their group of nine people walked out of Tongluoguxiang in a short while and then took a bus to Quanjude.
As soon as Xu Yuchang, Xu Laosan and others got on the bus, their eyes started darting around, with curious expressions on their faces.
They were particularly shocked when they saw two electric wires hanging on the roof of the bus.
No matter how they thought about it, they never imagined that a car could be pulled by electric wires.
"Ha! This trip to the city really opened my eyes. Let alone other things, just this tram, I can go back and brag about it to others for the rest of my life!"
"That's right! If you ask me, we are also thanks to Qiangzi this time, otherwise how could we have this opportunity to enter the city?"
"No wonder when I was in our village, I always heard those educated youth say they wanted to go home! Not to mention them, even I wish I could stay in this city now!"
"Look at how hot those girls outside are!"
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense. If you are caught as a hooligan, what can you do?"
"Hehe! Then I am just satisfying my craving for food!"
"."
Since Li Guoqiang used his little world from time to time to observe the situations of Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and others, he could not help but hear the murmurs they made when they gathered together.
When he heard them secretly commenting on the little girls on the street, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
In fact, he also knew that whether in the future or now, as long as a few men get together, they will inevitably talk about some topics about women.
Therefore, before leaving, he gave Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and others some careful instructions to prevent them from causing any trouble.
He didn't expect that they had become a little too proud of themselves just not long after they went out.
If they were allowed to stay in this city for a while, they would be so proud of themselves!
Especially Xu Laosan and Ma Hongjun, the two married ones, they have probably forgotten about their wives long ago.
Just when he was thinking about whether he should squeeze over and ask Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and others to be more restrained, he suddenly felt something soft beside his left hand. Then he turned his head and found that the little goblin Pan Qiaoyan had squeezed over at some point and was secretly sticking to him.
If he had not been sure that Pan Qiaoyan was a native of Sichuan Province in this era, he would probably have suspected that Pan Qiaoyan had watched some tram MV.
Seeing the charming smile on her lips and the hint of jealousy in her eyes, his fist hardened suddenly, and he couldn't help but rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Whee!"
Pan Qiaoyan noticed something strange about Li Guoqiang, and she was stunned for a moment. Then she couldn't help but covered her mouth with her hand with some pride and laughed secretly. Her depressed mood due to not being able to go home instantly became much better.
"What are you laughing laughing?"
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang glared at Pan Qiaoyan fiercely, then whispered to her, "If you mess with me again without knowing the occasion, how will I deal with you when I get back?"
"is it?"
Pan Qiaoyan raised her eyebrows, then leaned close to Li Guoqiang's ear with curiosity, lowered her voice and asked, "Then how are you going to deal with me then?"
"you"
Seeing Pan Qiaoyan being so reckless, Li Guoqiang was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire. He wished he could let Pan Qiaoyan know how powerful he was right away.
It's a pity that there are so many people on the bus in broad daylight, so he can't do anything excessive.
When Pan Qiaoyan saw that Li Guoqiang did not dare to act rashly, she could not help but reveal an eager look on her face, as if she had discovered something interesting.
Fortunately, Li Guoqiang stopped her in time with a stern look, so Pan Qiaoyan did not do anything excessive.
The bus swayed along the way, and soon arrived at a bus stop near Quanjude. Then, at Li Dawei's loud call, Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and others hurriedly squeezed off the bus.
After counting the number of people on the roadside and making sure that no one was missed, Li Dawei hurriedly led everyone to their destination.
As they walked, the crowd quickly split into several groups.
Among them, big men like Li Dawei and Xu Yuchang walked straight in the front, while Li Guoqiang and Pan Qiaoyan, the happy enemies, walked in the middle. In addition, Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling walked behind unknowingly and started chatting quietly.
"Did you just see it?"
"Yeah! You saw it too, right?"
"Ok!"
"I never thought of that! It turns out that they really have that kind of relationship!" "What if they don't have that kind of relationship, do you think this opportunity to return to the city will fall to her?"
"That's true!"
"Besides, I guess it's not just her, I'm afraid it's all three of them!"
"Uh, this is too exaggerated, right? Aren't they worried that something might happen?"
"I'm not them, how could I know!"
"Oh!"
"Hey, if Li Guoqiang could agree to bring you to this city, would you be willing to be like them?"
"I don't know, why do you ask?"
"Don't you want to stay in this city?"
"Yes! I believe that no matter who you are, you will want to stay in this city! Don't you want to?"
"Alright! You don't have to look at me like that. I'm going to tell you the truth! I plan to find an opportunity later and ask him to help keep me in this city. Do you want to come with me?"
"what?"
"Ah what? Don't tell me you don't dare?"
"This is not a question of whether or not to do it! I don't think he will agree to it!"
"Why not? Although we are not as pretty as those three, if we can dress ourselves up, we won't be that bad. Since he can accept the three of them, why not the two of us?"
"Have you really thought it through?"
"Well! Actually, when I won the lottery to go to the city, I had already made up my mind. No matter what, I don't want to stay in the countryside anymore, digging for food in the fields all day. Who knows, one day I'll become an old maid that no one wants."
"This"
"Oh! You don't have to look at me like that. You should first look at your own body and see how long it can last. Don't tire yourself to death."
"."
"Besides, even if you won't die of exhaustion, are you really willing to stay in that small mountain village for the rest of your life? We all have one nose and two eyes. We have what the three of them have, too. Why can they stay in the city and enjoy life, but we can't?"
"I don't know!"
"Okay, then think about it carefully first! Tell me when you figure it out!"
Having said that, Wu Zhaodi quickened her pace and chased after Li Guoqiang and Pan Qiaoyan, leaving Chu Meiling dragging her thin body, looking at her back with a complicated expression.
Since both of them were just in town to help, they often spent time together.
Originally, Chu Meiling thought that Wu Zhaodi was a simple, kind and low-key girl, but she didn't expect that Wu Zhaodi would have such bold ideas in her heart.
This made her realize more deeply how much the helplessness of being a stranger in a foreign land and the uncertainty about the future affected girls like them.
Especially since her health is not very good to begin with, if the intensity of the labor is too high, it is possible that she will be exhausted to death.
By then, what can she leave in this world except a handful of earth?
Moreover, as Wu Zhaodi said just now, even if she could survive temporarily, how long could she last?
One year? Two years? Five years? Ten years?
When she thought that she might have to stay in the small mountain village of Jinshanbao for more than ten or twenty years, she couldn't help feeling fear in her heart.
In this way, she could better understand Wu Zhaodi's thoughts.
After all, compared to ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime of youth, giving up a little innocence doesn’t seem to be a big deal.
Not to mention, Li Guoqiang is so handsome, he is simply their dream lover.
Being able to be with the person you love, even if you can only do it secretly, will definitely make you very happy!
Just like what she had seen before, the scenes of Pan Qiaoyan and Li Guoqiang secretly flirting in the car, who could say that Pan Qiaoyan made the wrong choice?
As she thought about it, unknowingly, the balance in her heart had already tilted towards agreeing. She hurriedly quickened her pace to catch up with Wu Zhaodi, giving her a slightly shy look.
Seeing this, Wu Zhaodi felt slightly delighted, and then he hurriedly pulled Wu Zhaodi and calmly returned to the back of the team, where they lowered their voices and had a good discussion.
In the end, in order to avoid any further complications, they planned to find an opportunity to tell Li Guoqiang about this matter after they returned from dinner.
If Li Guoqiang didn't agree, they would tell him about the secret flirting between Pan Qiaoyan and Li Guoqiang in the car.
In order to have a chance to stay in this city, they could no longer care about so much.
After a while, when they had finished their discussion, the Quanjude sign appeared in front of everyone.
Moreover, Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan, who went to work at the textile factory in the morning, and Luo Guofu, who had changed his surname, were already standing at the door of Quanjude waiting.
When they saw Li Dawei and Li Guoqiang coming with their guests, they hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and then quietly handed Li Guoqiang some food coupons, meat coupons and roast duck coupons.
They exchanged these tickets for money by asking others to help them at the factory and the post office.
Among them, there are 10 tickets for roast duck, which is almost enough for everyone to eat a roast duck.
Even if there is not enough food at that time, they can use food coupons and meat coupons to order a few more dishes.
This shows how much support they have for Li Guoqiang's career.
In fact, Li Guoqiang originally just asked Luo Huijuan to find someone to exchange five or six roast duck tickets, but he didn't expect that she would be so helpful and hardworking.
She really is worthy of being the good daughter-in-law he had chosen long ago!
He looked at the tickets and hurriedly gave Luo Huijuan an appreciative look, but then he was immediately given a nice eye roll by her.
"Okay, take the guests in for dinner!"
"Ok!"
Li Guoqiang nodded in agreement and then hurriedly led the way to the Quanjude store.
Soon, their group of more than a dozen people attracted a lot of attention in the store.
At the same time, the antique decoration in the store made Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and others suddenly become restrained.
