Chapter 274 Just Help Me Out of Kindness
In the blink of an eye, it was already past 10 o'clock in the afternoon.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer customers in the store, Li Guoqiang said hello to Pan Qiaoyan and others, then left the store and rushed to the street office.
On the way, he found a relatively remote place, took out two kilograms of the best Dahongpao, two jars of ten kilograms of aged wine, two flying dragons, two rabbits and a big insect leg from his small world, and then wrapped them all with oil paper.
Then he went to the street and called for a cart, which took him and those things to the neighborhood office.
When they arrived at the street office, he asked Ban Ye to wait outside first, then he walked leisurely into the housing management office of the street office and found Wu Cai'e.
"Hey! Qiangzi, you're here!"
When Wu Cai'e saw Li Guoqiang coming, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she quickly stood up and greeted him.
"Ok!"
Li Guoqiang nodded, then laughed and said, "Aunt, I'm here to bring you something."
"Great!"
When Wu Cai'e heard what Li Guoqiang said, she was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Where is the thing? Where is it?"
"The stuff is outside. I asked a waiter to wait at the door!"
Li Guoqiang pointed outside the door and answered softly.
"Good good!"
Seeing how reliably Li Guoqiang handled things, Wu Cai'e couldn't help but praise him repeatedly, "I knew you were a reliable guy."
Having said that, she hurriedly cleaned up the table, then went out to explain to her subordinates, and then took Li Guoqiang away from the housing management office, ready to take the things directly home.
Not long after, with the hard work of Ban Ye, they successfully brought the things to a small courtyard with a separate entrance and house nearby.
In the yard, in addition to the three main rooms in the north direction, there are two side rooms on the east and west sides respectively. In the middle of the yard, there is a grape rack with bunches of green grapes the size of soybeans hanging on it.
It seems that the housing conditions are much better than those of Li Guoqiang's home.
"This yard used to belong to an old rightist, then it was taken over by the district, and recently it was given to your uncle."
Wu Cai'e saw that Li Guoqiang was looking at the house, so she hurriedly explained something and then took Li Guoqiang into the main house.
When I went in, I saw that there was not much furniture in the room. Apart from a bunk bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a few cabinets, there was nothing else. It looked a bit simple.
"You see, we just came back from Jinshi not long ago, so we haven't had time to buy many things yet. Even for meals, we have to eat at work for the time being."
Wu Cai'e noticed Li Guoqiang's surprised look, and immediately laughed and explained, then pointed at the table, indicating Li Guoqiang to put the things on it.
Then she walked aside, picked up the kettle and teacup, and made tea for Li Guoqiang.
"Auntie, please stop busying yourself. I have to go back after I put my things down!"
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly spoke up to dissuade him.
"That's it!"
Wu Cai'e was slightly stunned, then nodded with some disappointment and said, "Okay, then next time you have time, come and sit with me. I will cook a few of my specialties for you to try."
"Got it!"
Hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly agreed, "It's settled then. It's a rare opportunity to eat the food you cook. I must try it carefully when the time comes."
"Giggle!"
Wu Cai'e smiled, then said in a somewhat amused tone, "Just don't be disappointed when the time comes."
"Ah!"
Li Guoqiang chuckled, and then did not respond, but said goodbye directly: "Nothing, I'll go back first!"
"Okay, I'll take you there!"
"Ah~"
Seeing that Li Guoqiang was eager to leave, Wu Cai'e did not try to persuade him to stay, but hurried forward to send Li Guoqiang out.
However, perhaps because she was walking too fast, her front foot suddenly tripped over her back foot, and she fell forward.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, at the critical moment, Li Guoqiang quickly turned around, stretched out his hand, and hugged Wu Cai'e in his arms, thus preventing Wu Cai'e from having close contact with the ground.
When Wu Cai'e came to her senses, she found that Li Guoqiang was supporting her. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw that Li Guoqiang was holding on to a great truth in his hands, which instantly made her whole body tremble.
"Forehead"
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang quickly let go of his hand, helped Wu Cai'e stand up straight, and then explained awkwardly: "Well, I didn't mean it."
"fine!"
Wu Cai'e took a deep breath, suppressed the slight throbbing in her heart, then waved her hand and said, "Thanks to you for catching me just now, otherwise I would have suffered now."
"Ok!"
Li Guoqiang was relieved to see that Wu Cai'e was not angry, and then he hurriedly said goodbye again: "Then you should have a good rest at home, I will go back first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out quickly without waiting for Wu Cai'e to speak.
Seeing this, Wu Cai'e opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything and just sighed silently.
Then, she thought of the long-lost heartbeat just now and a hint of redness slowly crept up on her cheeks.
[My dear sister, you really gave birth to a little bad boy! ]
Soon, it was evening.
At the end of the day, Xiangmi Zhai's business was slightly better than yesterday, and its turnover exceeded one thousand yuan for the first time, reaching 1002.5 yuan.
After calculating the turnover, Li Dawei, Luo Huijuan, Yao Meilan, Shen Fengxia and Shang Xiuzhen all shouted loudly with excitement. If you didn’t know, you would think they had found a treasure!
"OK OK!"
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hands and said with a smile: "This is just the beginning! Let's replace the bowls with bamboo tubes tomorrow, and then we can directly pour the tea for the guests and let them take the bamboo tubes away. That would really make a fortune!"
"Is it really that good?"
Yao Meilan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and then asked with some suspicion.
"We'll know tomorrow if we wait!"
Li Guoqiang glanced at Yao Meilan, and instead of arguing with her, he smiled and replied.
"That's true!"
When Yao Meilan heard what Li Guoqiang said, she felt happy, then nodded and agreed.
Then, they didn't stay in the store for long. They simply packed up, closed the store door, and hurried back to the courtyard in the night. At this time, other families had already finished their meals, but they had just finished their work and returned home.
Fortunately, Pan Qiaoyan had volunteered to take some ingredients home to cook, preparing some Sichuan cuisine for everyone to taste.
However, just as they returned to the gate of the courtyard, they ran into Yan Bugui who was strolling at the gate.
"Hey! Third uncle, you are so interested in taking a walk here?"
"Heh! I just finished dinner and the room was a bit stuffy, so I came out here to take a breath!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui hurriedly smiled and said something polite, then he fixed his eyes on Li Guoqiang's face and said, "Well, Qiangzi, I have something I want to discuss with you, you see."
"Oh, okay, then you guys go back first! I'll talk to the Third Uncle for a while!"
When Li Guoqiang heard Yan Bugui's words, he raised his eyebrows and immediately guessed what Yan Bugui wanted to say to him. He then hurriedly asked Yao Meilan and others to go home first, and prepared to stay and listen to what Yan Bugui would say.
Soon, Yao Meilan and others went back home first, leaving only Li Guoqiang and Yan Bugui standing at the gate of the yard.
Li Guoqiang looked back and saw Yan Bugui still there leisurely, and hurriedly urged him: "Uncle, just tell me what you want to say! I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner!"
"that."
Yan Bugui was anxious when he heard this, and then he said quickly: "Qiangzi, I heard that the Xiangmi Zhai you opened is doing very well now. Is this true?"
"no!"
Li Guoqiang waved his hand, then explained seriously: "It's not that great, it's just OK."
"Hey!"
Yan Bugui was slightly stunned, then said in a somewhat unpleasant tone, "You kid, you are still being modest in front of me! Don't forget, I am the one who keeps the accounts for any weddings or funerals in our courtyard. As for the business of your store, I only need to take a quick look to tell whether the business is good or not. You can't fool me."
"Then why are you asking me?"
Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, and then did not indulge Yan Bugui, and directly spoke back.
"Forehead"
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui was immediately speechless.
Then, he looked at Li Guoqiang deeply, and said seriously: "Okay, let me tell you the truth! I hope you can help me get a job so that our third child can come back to the city through recruitment.
As long as you can do it, we can discuss the conditions."
"Feel sorry!"
When Li Guoqiang heard that Yan Bugui really came for the job quota, he was slightly happy, then hurriedly shook his head and said, "Third Uncle, I really can't help you with this matter.
You know, I just came back to the city to open a shop on behalf of the production team. All the workers hired in the shop are from our team. Even if I want to help you, the team will not agree. "
"This"
When Yan Bugui heard what Li Guoqiang said, his brows furrowed suddenly, and then he asked with some reluctance, "Is there really no way to discuss this matter?"
“It’s not negotiable.”
Li Guoqiang shook his head and spoke in a decisive manner.
In fact, he had originally planned to use the store's recruitment to give Qin Jingru a job to completely relieve her worries. However, he later considered that once this door was opened, it would easily lead to some unnecessary trouble, so he gave up this idea and planned to wait for a while before asking Wu Cai'e to help find a job.
"Fine!"
Seeing Li Guoqiang's attitude, Yan Bugui could only nod with some disappointment.
In fact, he was not unaware of what Li Guoqiang said, but he thought that this was a rare opportunity, so he decided to give it a try regardless of whether there was any result or not, so he deliberately blocked the gate of the courtyard.
In addition, more importantly, since Li Guoqiang has rejected him now, it means that Li Guoqiang will not agree to other people in the hospital and will not let others take advantage of him.
In this way, after rounding off, it means that he has taken advantage.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in his heart, and then he put his hands behind his back and walked into the yard leisurely.
When Li Guoqiang saw Yan Bugui's expression, he changed his mind and quickly guessed what Yan Bugui was thinking. He then couldn't help but shook his head speechlessly.
In his opinion, Yan Bugui was trying to take advantage of this small advantage, which was really unique!
Then, just when he wanted to go back home for dinner, he just walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard a very charming voice coming from the hanging flower gate.
"Qiangzi, Qiangzi, wait a moment!"
"Hmm? Aunt Huairu, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Li Guoqiang turned his head and instantly saw a graceful figure wearing Dacron and thin overalls walking towards him from the hanging flower gate.
Then, he thought of what Sha Zhu had said to him this morning when he went to Xiangmi Zhai. He felt a little enlightened, and then he pretended not to know and asked softly.
"that."
Qin Huairu walked up to Li Guoqiang, showing a slightly awkward smile on her face, and then whispered: "I heard that your store can recruit workers, so I want to ask if you can reserve a job quota for our Bang Geng so that he can recruit workers back to the city?"
"Aunt Huairu!"
When Li Guoqiang heard that Qin Huairu was here to talk about this matter, he was happy, and then he said with embarrassment: "You are deliberately making things difficult for me. Your Bang Geng almost ruined our family, and I haven't settled the score with him yet!
Now you want me to find him a job, what on earth are you thinking?"
"sorry!"
Qin Huairu heard this, without thinking, she bowed to Li Guoqiang, and then said with a guilty look: "Qiangzi, all the mistakes are my fault as a mother. I didn't teach you well at the beginning. I apologize to you here.
But don't worry, when Bang Geng comes back, I will make him come to my house in person to apologize. I hope you can give him a chance to reform."
What this means is that he hopes Li Guoqiang can give Banggeng a job.
Otherwise, how could he possibly come to apologize if Banggeng didn't come back?
From this we can also see that Qin Huairu's calculations are one after another, and if you are not careful, you will fall into her trap.
However, Li Guoqiang had already seen through Qin Huairu's tricks and naturally would not be fooled easily.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand and said seriously: “No, no, no, Aunt Huairu, I know you are a good person, and this has nothing to do with you.
As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, I won’t blame you.”
"I"
Qin Huairu was dumbfounded when she heard what Li Guoqiang said, and then she quickly said, "I am Banggeng's mother. He made a mistake, so of course I have to take the responsibility for him. You can beat him or scold him now, but I just hope you can forgive Banggeng and give him a chance to come back and admit his mistake to you.
I promise that I will never let him do anything to let you down again. Just help me out of kindness, okay?"
As she spoke, she quietly took a step forward, put her arm around Li Guoqiang, and then gently shook him while she was about to cry.
This made Li Guoqiang instantly think of an advertising slogan - bounce, bounce, bounce away the crow's feet!
