Chapter 265 Jia Zhang is anxious
However, before that, the most important thing, of course, is to entertain Wu Cai'e well.

At around 4 p.m., Li Guoqiang appeared at the back door of the steel rolling mill, and then asked someone to help call out Sha Zhu.

"Qiangzi, what are you looking for me for so urgently?"

Sha Zhu hurried to the back door and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Uncle Zhuzi, I'm going to entertain two distinguished guests at home tonight. I hope you can help me cook. The meal fee is negotiable. I'll also give you two kilograms of the good wine we drank last time."

When Li Guoqiang saw Sha Zhu coming out, he didn't say anything polite and just told him what happened, and also mentioned the reward.

"Okay!"

When Sha Zhu heard about the good wine, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately agreed very readily: "According to me, you don't have to pay for the banquet, just give me the wine directly."

"to make!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, then nodded and said, "Then I'll give you another half a pound."

"One pound!"

"Half a pound!"

"Eight taels!"

"Half a pound!"

After some bargaining, Li Guoqiang insisted on half a catty, which made Sha Zhu so angry that he was fuming.

Unfortunately, this was of no use at all, and in the end, Sha Zhu nodded and agreed obediently.

When Li Guoqiang saw that Sha Zhu agreed, he smiled slightly, then gave Sha Zhu a brief introduction of the ingredients he had prepared so that Sha Zhu would have a general idea of ​​what was going on.

When Sha Zhu heard that Li Guoqiang prepared a flying dragon, a rabbit and a big carp, he was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but joked: "You are planning to prepare a table of land, sea and air!"

"Yup!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then asked provocatively: "I just don't know if you can do it?"

"Look what you said!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu glared, and then said indignantly, "Without the diamond, how can I dare to take on this porcelain job! Just wait and see, I will definitely not let you embarrass yourself in front of the distinguished guests."

Although Li Guoqiang did not say who the distinguished guest was, but considering that Li Guoqiang was about to open a honey shop in the city on behalf of the production brigade, he could guess that the guest Li Guoqiang was going to invite should be an official.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately thought of the name of Sea, Land and Air from the ingredients prepared by Li Guoqiang.

This is because he knows those officials very well and they like to create some gimmicks.

"Row!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, and then he laughed and said, "Then I'm counting on you for this dinner tonight!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave the steel mill.

Then, he found a relatively secluded corner, took out the ingredients from the small world, and then carried them back to the courtyard.

At this time, because Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan both went to work in the factory, Li Dawei didn't feel comfortable staying at home all the time. He stayed with three young and beautiful girls, Pan Qiaoyan, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia, and ran to the entrance of the alley early to find someone to play chess with.

He waited until Li Guoqiang came back before he followed him home, and took the opportunity to ask about the store's affairs.

Li Guoqiang first explained what happened, and then couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Dad, why haven't I heard you tell me that my mom has such a junior sister?"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dawei hurriedly explained, "She left in a hurry at that time and did not leave any contact information. Later, there was no news for many years, so I did not tell you.

If we hadn't just bumped into each other on the street a few days ago, I would have almost forgotten about it!"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded to show his understanding, and then said softly: "Aunt Wu said she would bring her husband to our house for dinner tonight. I have already called Uncle Zhuzi to come over to help cook."

"oh?!"

Li Dawei was slightly stunned, then asked excitedly: "Is your Aunt Wu really going to bring her husband to our house for dinner?"

"Yup!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then asked with some confusion: "Is there any problem?"

“This is a huge problem!”

Li Dawei's expression straightened, and then he said seriously: "Do you know who her husband is? Her husband is the newest executive deputy district chief of our East District. If you can get to know him, it will be much easier for you to do anything in the future."

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he laughed and said, "Dad, have you forgotten that I have seen the old man before and received the award certificate from him?

Moreover, as long as we behave properly, we basically won't have to ask others for help in any way.

If you ask me, we should just treat our relatives to dinner tonight and not try to make friends with them.

If we can get along, then we can just consider it as having another relative. If we can’t, then we can just thank them for helping us rent the store.”

"That"

Li Dawei saw Li Guoqiang's attitude and hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Okay then!"

In fact, the main reason why he said this just now was to plan for Li Guoqiang's future development.

After all, although Li Guoqiang has achieved certain results and returned to the city by opening a honey shop.

But no matter what, his household registration is still in the Jinshanbao Production Brigade. As long as they give the order, Li Guoqiang will have to return to the countryside obediently. After all, it is still a little unsafe.

It would naturally be better if Li Guoqiang could find a high-ranking official to support him and ask him to help him get a position and move his household registration back.

Unfortunately, Li Guoqiang has grown up and has his own opinions, so he cannot force Li Guoqiang to do something he doesn't like.

Fortunately, we have now successfully rented a shop and even completed the registration procedures. We have preliminarily completed the task of the production team. At least we don't have to worry about being fired due to incompetence.

Soon, the father and son returned home. As soon as they walked into their yard, they saw Pan Qiaoyan, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia sitting at the door and chatting.

When they saw Li Dawei and Li Guoqiang coming back together, they stood up from their stools in a hurry, greeted Li Dawei politely, and then walked into the house very attentively to pour tea for Li Dawei and Li Guoqiang. If you didn't know, you would think they were all daughters-in-law of the old Li family!

In fact, they are indeed the daughters-in-law of the Li family, but Li Dawei doesn't know it yet.

He looked at the three beautiful girls in front of him, each with their own style and youthful beauty, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father.

Ever since Li Guoqiang came back from the countryside, he had vaguely sensed that Li Guoqiang's temperament had become more unbridled and flamboyant than before. To put it simply, he had become bolder.

Coupled with the various abilities that Li Guoqiang had demonstrated, he couldn't help but worry that Li Guoqiang would do something out of line.

Li Guoqiang was not aware of this at all. He was just busy telling Pan Qiaoyan, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia that the honey shop had been ready.

Upon hearing the good news, Pan Qiaoyan and others immediately showed a very happy smile, and then hurriedly asked when they could start business.

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang took the opportunity to assign the task of shaking the honey, and asked Pan Qiaoyan and others to shake all the honey off the honey combs in the next few days.

As for the tools for shaking honey and the clay jars for storing honey, he had already placed them all in the shop. He only needed to pull the honey combs over and he could start working directly.

When they heard that there was a wing room over there in the shop, Pan Qiaoyan and the others immediately came up with an idea, then looked at each other, and then asked Li Guoqiang in a low voice if they could move to the shop.

Although they have now been accepted by Luo Huijuan, living here and facing Li Dawei and Yao Meilan every day still makes them feel a little uncomfortable.

If possible, they would naturally hope to have a more free and private place.

However, Li Guoqiang took into consideration that doing business in the store would easily arouse suspicion from others, so he finally shook his head and rejected the request of Pan Qiaoyan and others.

Because Li Dawei was there, although Pan Qiaoyan and the others were a little confused, they did not ask any further questions and just nodded to show that they understood.

Then, Li Guoqiang talked about entertaining Wu Cai'e in the evening, and asked Pan Qiaoyan, Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia to go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients first.

Not long after that, Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan also returned from get off work at the factory.

When they learned that the store had been ready, they immediately felt happy for Li Guoqiang. Then, when they heard that Wu Cai'e was going to be entertained in the evening, they immediately ran into the kitchen to help.

Taking advantage of this free time, Li Guoqiang went straight back to his room after finishing his business. Then, according to the layout and environment of the room, he chose a room of similar size in the private courtyard of Xiaotiandi to renovate.

Since he can directly control the things in this small world, and he has advanced skills in masonry, carpentry, etc., this is not a difficult task for him.

Soon, he had messed up the room so much that if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to notice any difference.

However, to be on the safe side, you have to wait until the smell dissipates before polishing it carefully.

At this time, Sha Zhu, who had been thinking about good wine, hurried back from the steel mill, then went straight into the kitchen and started working.

Seeing this, Luo Huijuan hurried back to the house, got a pack of cigarettes for Sha Zhu, and then went to make a cup of tea for him. This gave Sha Zhu enough face, so that Sha Zhu was willing to show his real skills and swung the pot and spoon until sparks almost came out.

Soon, waves of tempting food aroma slowly drifted from the south yard into the front yard and the middle yard, making the neighbors in the yard jealous.

Especially Jia Zhang, she stood at the door of her own house, smelling the aroma of meat in the air, looking in the direction of Old Li's house, her eyes full of jealousy.

Then, she stamped her feet, turned back to the house, and said to Qin Huairu, who was cutting cabbage to prepare for cooking, with a dissatisfied look on her face: "I said, you didn't listen to what I said to you. It's been two days, why haven't you borrowed He Yushui's house from Sha Zhu?"

"mom!"

Qin Huairu heard this and immediately said with some embarrassment: "I was originally planning to go to Sha Zhu to tell him, but you also know that the Third Uncle and Deng Xinchang's families just had a misunderstanding because of the house.

If people knew that our family was going to borrow a house from Sha Zhu, they would think that we bought it from Sha Zhu.

Don't forget, we owe a lot of money to our neighbors! What will you let them think of us then?"

"That"

Jia Zhang frowned, and then said unhappily, "Then why don't you ask Sha Zhu to tell them in advance?"

"Look what you said!"

Qin Huairu was so angry when she heard Jia Zhang's shameless words that she said, "Who do you think Sha Zhu is to me? Why should he listen to me?"

"Hey!"

Seeing that Qin Huairu dared to get angry with her, Jia Zhang immediately scolded her angrily, "From what you said, you want to blame me?"

"no!"

Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhang was about to make trouble, so she waved her hands and explained, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to tell you that people don't want to bother with me now.

These two days, I also went to the cafeteria to find him, wanting to discuss with him whether we could return to the way we were before. But as soon as I brought up the topic, he told me directly that he already has a wife and children. What should I tell him?

Could it be that you want me to be someone's servant?"

"This"

After hearing this, Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment.

Based on her understanding of Sha Zhu, she always felt that Sha Zhu was like a pug. As long as she threw a piece of meat bone to him, Sha Zhu would come running over to please her.

As a result, she didn't expect that Sha Zhu would become so tough that he would even refuse the meat that was delivered to his door.

In this case, wouldn't her pension money be gone?
Thinking of this possibility, she became anxious and asked quickly, "Huai Ru, are you sure you didn't say it wrong? Did Sha Zhu really treat you like this?"

"real!"

Qin Huairu nodded, then said angrily: "Why would I lie to you about this! Didn't you see that he hid in the house as soon as he came back these two days, without even saying a word to me?"

"That"

Jia Zhang's expression changed, and then she asked hurriedly, "What do you think?"

"What else can I think?"

Qin Huairu pursed her lips, then said somewhat angrily: "That's it for now! I can't really go to your door and throw you away, right?"

Jia Zhangshi: "."

In fact, as a senior widow, she certainly understood the importance of the matter, so she didn't want to blame Qin Huairu for not being strong enough.

What she wants to know most now is why Sha Zhu suddenly became like this?

Clearly, not long ago, she could occasionally see Sha Zhu's lapdog look as he missed Qin Huairu, so why did he suddenly change his nature?
