Chapter 279 Just wait and see!

"Well, that's probably the situation. I don't have any way to get the job quota. You two should figure it out on your own!"

Not long after, Yu Li, with her weak body, returned to Old Yan's house. She briefly replied to Yan Bugui and the third aunt, then hurriedly turned around and went back to her own room to rest.

"Dad, what do you think we should do now?"

When the third aunt saw Yu Li leave like this, she frowned slightly and asked with some concern.

"What else can we do?"

Yan Bugui glared, then asked in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Didn't you hear that Li Guoqiang rejected Old Yi?"

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this, the third aunt couldn't help but sigh, and then said with some complaints: "You said Qiangzi is really something, it doesn't matter who he gives this job quota to, why can't he take care of the people in our courtyard?
Isn't he worried that people will have opinions about him?"

"Humph!"

Yan Bugui snorted, then said with a sour look on his face: "He has a wife now, a shop opened, and a certificate of honor personally awarded by the old man. Do you think he still needs to worry about us ordinary people having opinions about him?

Even if you have an opinion, what can you do to him?"

Hearing this, the three aunts were stunned for a moment.

However, think about it, in general, the reason why they worry about their neighbors having opinions about them is either to avoid people spreading bad words about them when they get married and disrupting their marriage, or to avoid being stabbed in the back by some villains.

Li Guoqiang not only has a wife now, but also has a golden body to protect him, so he is not afraid of his neighbors causing trouble for him at all.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about so many things at all. As long as he can save face, no one can do anything to him.

"okay!"

Seeing his wife's silly look, Yan Bugui waved his hands hastily, then said with some disdain: "Don't worry about this matter for now, I will think about it carefully."

"Oh!"

When the third aunt heard what Yan Bugui said, she naturally did not object. She just nodded and agreed, then turned around to make the bed and prepare to go to sleep.

Yan Bugui reached out and poured a glass of boiled water, sipping it slowly as if it were wine, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Although Yu Li did not say for whom Yi Zhonghai went to Li Guoqiang to ask for the job, he could tell with his toes that Yi Zhonghai must have done it for Qin Huairu's beloved son Banggeng.

This matter was not surprising to him. What surprised him the most was why Qin Huairu did not ask Sha Zhu for help, but went to Yi Zhonghai for help instead.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye in the hospital can see that Li Guoqiang's relationship with Sha Zhu is obviously better than his relationship with Yi Zhonghai.

Based on his understanding of Qin Huairu, he didn't believe that Qin Huairu would not be able to see it.

[Could it be that Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu really broke up? ]

Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Yan Bugui's mouth. Then he turned his head to look towards the central courtyard, as if he could see through the walls and see Yi Zhonghai's extremely disappointed face.

As the third uncle in the courtyard, he understood too well Yi Zhonghai's intention to bring Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu together.

However, no one expected that Lou Xiao'e would give Sha Zhu a son.

As a result, Sha Zhu's situation became a bit complicated. If it weren't for Sha Zhu's mortal enemy Xu Damao, who had already gone to the countryside, and if it weren't for Sha Zhu's unruly character, and if Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were not protecting him behind the scenes, Sha Zhu would probably have been given a good beating by now.

Moreover, because of this incident, not only did Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu's marriage fall through, but Jia Zhang also had to give up the three yuan monthly tribute.

The main reason why she turned against Sha Zhu and broke up with Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu was that she was worried about being implicated by Sha Zhu.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai had the same idea, so he did not intervene forcibly.

Otherwise, he only needs to invite the deaf old lady to come and make the decision. What can it do even if Jia Zhangshi objects?
After all, isn't this just the fear of bringing disaster upon oneself?
Even so, Sha Zhu rarely dared to bring back a lunch box in the past six months.

Others may not understand this, but Yan Bugui, the gate god of the courtyard house, knows it very well.

After gloating for a while, his thoughts turned back to the job quota and his brows furrowed slightly.

Originally, he was thinking of gritting his teeth and spending money to buy the job quota from Li Guoqiang, but now even Yi Zhonghai has hit a wall with Li Guoqiang, and he has completely understood Li Guoqiang's attitude.

To sum it up in two words: no hope.

unless
As he was thinking, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he hurriedly stood up and walked towards the third aunt, and said mysteriously: "Wife, what do you say, let's marry Jie Di to Luo Guofu, and then ask the old Li family for a job quota as a betrothal gift?"

"This"

The third aunt was slightly stunned, then asked hesitantly: "Will this work?"

"Why doesn't this work?"

Yan Bugui's eyes widened, and then he said confidently, "Look at our Jie Di, she is pretty, and is more than enough to match Luo Guofu.

Moreover, if this matter succeeded, not only would Jie Di be able to return from the countryside, but she could also get a job quota for Jie Kuang, allowing him to return from the countryside to the city, which would be killing two birds with one stone.

Such a good deal, do you want to do it?"

"If you put it that way, it's pretty good."

When the third aunt heard this, she immediately agreed with a look of approval.

After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "But, Luo Guofu has taken over Lao Li's job now, and the conditions in all aspects are not bad. Do you think he will agree?"

"You don't know that."

When Yan Bugui heard the third aunt ask this, the corner of his mouth raised, and then he said with some pride: "When Jie Di was still little, she told me that Luo Guofu had been secretly staring at her for a while. If I told him to marry Jie Di to him, who knows how happy he would be?"

"is it?"

The third aunt raised her eyebrows, then said with some joy: "Then this thing may really be accomplished!"

"Ah!"

Yan Bugui was delighted, and then he laughed and said, "Just wait and see!"

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea that Yan Bugui had already started planning a marriage in order to get the job.

After seeing Yu Li off, he hurried into the little world, cleaned up, and then quickly returned home to explain a few words to Luo Huijuan. Luo Huijuan heard that Yu Li came here to ask about Yi Zhonghai's coming for Yan Bugui, and she didn't think much about it, and immediately urged Li Guoqiang to go into the house to take a shower.

Because there are so many of them, they have to race against time every night.

In addition, she also knew that Li Guoqiang would have to return to Jinshanbao Production Brigade soon, so she wanted to sow more seeds quickly so as to give Li Guoqiang a surprise when he came back next time.

Li Guoqiang naturally understood her little thoughts, so no matter who he worked the fields with, he would eventually sow the seeds in his own home.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed quickly.

During these few days, in addition to being busy opening the store, Li Guoqiang also hired a construction team through Wu Cai'e to dig a cellar in the backyard. He asked Qin Jingru to bring a few bamboo tubes back to her parents' home and ask the production team where her parents' home was to see if they could make the same bamboo tubes.

As a result, it was able to be done, but the construction period was too long and the price was a bit too high, so it was not cost-effective.

So, after considering it for a while, he had to give up this plan and set his sights on the bottle of Arctic Ocean soda.

Since Beibingyang soda bottles can be made, it proves that the technology and cost of manufacturing soda bottles in China have become relatively mature. As long as he can find a purchasing channel, he can customize bottles exclusively for their Xiangmizhai brand.

Moreover, doing so has another benefit, which is that it can increase the customer return rate.

Having made the decision, he took action immediately, and after some inquiries, he finally found the glass bottle manufacturing factory under the Arctic Ocean Food Company.

Unfortunately, when they heard that he was here to order bottles, they immediately kicked him out, saying that the bottles were not for sale.

Helplessly, he could only give up for the time being and planned to discuss it with brigade cadres such as Xu Guangfu and Sun Maocai after returning to the Jinshanbao Production Brigade.

After all, he was just back in the city to open a store on behalf of the Jinshanbao Production Team. Some things must be approved by the Jinshanbao Production Team, otherwise it would bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

This is also the limitation of this era.

If this were the 21st century, as long as you had money and skills, you could do anything you wanted.
Fortunately, he is not in a hurry. Just because some things cannot be done now does not mean they cannot be done in the future. He just needs to be patient, use his own advantages to slowly run the store, and wait for the arrival of a good era.

Then, another three days passed.

After digging the cellar in the backyard, he bought a train ticket and started his return journey with a bunch of local specialties.

On the other hand, Xu Guangfu, who was far away in the Jinshanbao Production Brigade, had just returned from work in the fields at noon that day, and his face turned black because of what Tian Guixiang said.

"His father, many people in the village are now saying that Qiangzi secretly sold the honey and hid in the city and never came back.

Some people even said that you are old and confused, and you actually believed Qiangzi's nonsense and asked him to go to Beijing to set up an office. But now it has been more than half a month and there is no reply. "

"Where did you hear all this?"

After hearing this, Xu Guangfu's face immediately darkened and he asked in a deep voice.

"Where else could you have heard this from?"

Tian Guixiang rolled her eyes, then said unhappily, "I was working in the fields earlier, and before I had worked for long I heard someone singing along beside me, and it was obvious that they were talking to me!
If I wasn’t afraid of the negative impact, I would have gone up to them and slapped them a few times to let them know how powerful I am.”

After she finished speaking, she saw Xu Guangfu's face was gloomy and she pursed her lips. Then she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's going on with Qiangzi? Why hasn't there been any news for such a long time? Did he mess up?"

"What are you talking about here?"

Xu Guangfu glared at him, and then he scolded him with some dissatisfaction: "Others may not know, but don't you know Qiangzi's ability?"

"What are you in a hurry for?"

Tian Guixiang curled her lips, and then said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "What's the use of just us believing? You have to make everyone believe in Qiangzi's ability!

Otherwise, if this matter drags on for too long, someone might go to the commune and sue us!"

"Sue us?"

Xu Guangfu raised his eyebrows, then said with a smile that turned out to be annoyance: "Why are you suing us? All the villagers voted to agree on this matter, so if you want to sue, you can only sue everyone."

"That's what you said!"

Seeing Xu Guangfu's expression, Tian Guixiang quickly spoke up to remind him, "But, after all, this is related to whether our entire village can live a good life in the future, and Qiangzi is on the side of our Xu family.

If Qiangzi really messes up, it won’t be easy for you to become the captain again.”

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu could not help but snorted coldly and cursed: "I just spoiled them too much and turned them into ungrateful people.

They don’t even think about it: if it weren’t for Qiangzi, would they have such good hopes?

Maybe after several lifetimes, I will still have to dig for food in the fields!"

"okay!"

Tian Guixiang heard this and immediately said impatiently: "Anyway, I've told you what's going on. You should think of a way as soon as possible to see what to do, right?"

After saying that, she turned and walked out, leaving Xu Guangfu sitting alone on the kang, frowning tightly.

Although he believed from the bottom of his heart that Li Guoqiang could get things done, he felt uncertain as long as he didn't get a definite answer.

Just when he was thinking about whether he should write a letter to ask, Tian Guixiang's excited voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"His father, his father, please come out quickly, Qiangzi has written back a letter."

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu was slightly stunned, then quickly jumped off the kang and ran out of the house.

Soon, he saw the postman Lao Yang driving a donkey cart to deliver letters, and then, with some surprise, he received a letter and a remittance slip from the other party.

"Captain Xu, your team is really rich now!"

Old Yang looked at the excitement on Xu Guangfu's face and couldn't help but congratulate him with some envy.

The reason why he said this was not for anything else, but because of that large remittance slip of two thousand yuan.

This means that the villagers of the Jinshanbao Production Brigade do not have to do anything, and each of them can get five or six yuan, which is almost as much as the work points they can earn by working hard in the fields for a month.
