Chapter 281 Everyone’s Thoughts

"What do you want to do? If you keep making trouble like this, you will all be punished and will not be able to get this spot."

When Xu Guangfu saw this, his face turned dark, and then he shouted in a stern voice.

Hearing his words, the villagers were slightly stunned, and then hurriedly scrambled to retreat to the back, fearing that if they were a little late, they would really be disqualified from competing for the opportunity to enter the city.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu snorted coldly, and then said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Listen to me now, if anyone dares to do this again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless and canceling their eligibility for year-end dividends.

I believe that everyone would be happy to share a little more money.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became silent. They didn't even dare to fart, let alone argue with Xu Guangfu.

Nowadays, as long as everyone agrees, even if a person is dead, he can be brought back to life.

If Xu Guangfu really wants to use someone to establish his authority, then no matter who it is, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Fortunately, Xu Guangfu only gave a verbal warning and did not really intend to take any real action.

Soon, he assigned the work tasks and asked everyone to take various farm tools and go to work in the fields, leaving no chance for anyone to continue to complain.

Not long after, on the way to work.

As Chu Meiling was walking, she suddenly came close to Wu Zhaodi and asked in a low voice, "Hey, do you think Brother Qiangzi will take us to the city when he comes back this time?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhaodi turned her head to look at Chu Meiling, then shook her head with a serious expression.

If Li Guoqiang came back this time just to find a few more people to help with the work, then they probably still have a great chance.

However, Li Guoqiang has returned now with a job quota that allows him to settle in the city.

No matter how hard she thought about it, she could not imagine how this job could possibly fall on a girl like her who had no power, no background, and no ability.
Even if she had let Li Guoqiang eat the steamed buns, what would it matter? Could it be enough to match the amount of so many villagers in Jinshanbao?
She simply couldn't believe that Li Guoqiang would go against all the villagers of Jinshanbao for such an insignificant woman like her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling sad.

When Chu Meiling saw Wu Zhaodi like this, although she didn't understand what Wu Zhaodi was thinking, she could also feel an aura of despair emanating from Wu Zhaodi, which made her worry that Wu Zhaodi would do something stupid.

So, she hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but whispered to comfort him: "It's okay, even if he doesn't take us into the city, I'll still be with you!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhaodi immediately rolled her eyes, then quickened her pace and walked forward, as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Chu Meiling, this silly and somewhat cute little girl.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Chu Meiling was slightly stunned, then hurriedly shouted and chased after him.

In fact, she was not really stupid, but she had already developed a blind trust in Li Guoqiang.

Since Li Guoqiang was able to help the Jinshanbao Production Brigade to build such a promising bee farm, opened a store in the old city, and made the business prosperous, then he must be able to fulfill his original promise to them.

Moreover, ever since she gave Li Guoqiang steamed buns, she had already determined in her heart that Li Guoqiang was the only man in her life, so she didn't think about it too much at all.

To put it bluntly, it's stupidity; to put it nicely, it's innocence.

While she and Wu Zhaodi were thinking about their own things, Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun also quietly got together to discuss, and then each went to find the leader of their tribe.

"Uncle Fu, you must help me this time. I don't need any dividends from the bee farm, but I only ask you to give me a job in Beijing."

Xu Yuchang secretly found Xu Guangfu, and then immediately told him the plan that the three of them had discussed.

"I think you are just wishful thinking!"

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu rolled his eyes, and then said with some disdain: "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of character you have? And you said so nicely that you don't want the dividends from the bee farm.

I can now tell you very clearly that no matter who finally gets this job, they will not be eligible to get any dividends from the bee farm.

So, you better stop talking nonsense to me and wait until Qiangzi comes back!"

"This"

When Xu Yuchang heard what Xu Guangfu said, he was stunned.

The same thing happened to Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun.

Originally they thought that as long as they took the initiative to refuse the dividends from the bee farm, and with the recommendation of the brigade cadres, they should be able to get the job quota before others and become a city dweller.

However, they did not expect that the brigade cadres had already thought of what they had thought of, and had already regarded this condition as one of the necessary conditions for getting a job quota.

In desperation, they could only do as Xu Guangfu said and wait for Li Guoqiang to come back.

Soon after, as the news continued to spread, Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping, who worked at the apiary, also received the news that Li Guoqiang was about to return. They were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly discussed how to take the time to clean the house in the next few days.

Especially Li Guoqiang’s quilt and other things, they need to be taken out for cleaning and drying.

In addition, Xu Yuping also had to talk to Ma Shufen and discuss how to serve Li Guoqiang in order to please him better.

Just when they were full of expectations, Zhu Caiyan, who was staying at Qu Yinfeng's house, was a little nervous, fearing that Li Guoqiang would drive her away after he came back.

Until this moment, she still remembered very clearly Li Guoqiang's extremely cold attitude towards her. He looked at her as if he was a shameless bad woman.

In fact, she was just a little bit snobbish at first, and she didn't do anything shameless at all.

Therefore, she really didn't understand why Li Guoqiang treated her like this?

It was not until recently, when she had lived in Qu Yinfeng's house for a while, that she learned a huge secret from Zhu Caixia.

It turned out that the reason why Li Guoqiang was so unwelcome to her at the beginning was because Li Guoqiang and Xu Yuping had that kind of indescribable relationship.

After knowing this, she didn't dare to say anything, and even begged Zhu Caixia not to tell Xu Yuping what she knew, for fear that she would end up homeless.

And now Li Guoqiang is about to come back. Even if she can pretend not to know, she lives here. She can't cut off her eyes and ears, right?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She then desperately sought help from Zhu Caixia and asked for help: "Xiaoxia, what do you think I should do now? When your brother Qiangzi comes back, he will definitely chase me away."

"How could this happen?"

Zhu Caixia was slightly stunned, then quickly spoke to comfort him: "Brother Qiangzi is the best person. If he knew your situation, he would definitely not drive you away."

"But."

Zhu Caiyan frowned, then said anxiously, "But have you forgotten about your mother and Brother Qiangzi, what they did?"

"Forehead"

Zhu Caixia was immediately surprised when she heard this. [Oh, that's right! Why didn't I think of this? ]

[It's all my fault for letting the cat out of the bag. I don't know if Brother Qiangzi will blame me when he comes back and finds out that I told Sister Yanzi about it? ]

Thinking of this, a look of worry appeared on her face.

"What should I do?"

Seeing that Zhu Caixia didn't say anything, Zhu Caiyan hurriedly asked, "What should I do now? Can you help me think of a solution? I really don't want to be kicked out."

As she spoke, she was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes, and her heart was filled with fear of being homeless.

"Don't worry!"

Seeing this, Zhu Caixia quickly spoke to comfort him, "Let me think about it carefully."

After saying that, she frowned slightly and thought carefully in her mind about what method could help Zhu Caiyan solve this problem while preventing her from being blamed by Li Guoqiang.

As she was thinking, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she said hurriedly: "How about this, when Brother Qiangzi comes back, you can sneak up to the pit in his room.

This way, you and he become one family, and he can't drive you away."

"This"

Zhu Caiyan was stunned for a moment, then asked in astonishment, "Will this work?"

After she finished speaking, Li Guoqiang's handsome face appeared in her mind, and the heart in her chest began to beat rapidly.

If she could really become Li Guoqiang's woman, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing!

"Why doesn't this work?"

Zhu Caixia curled her lips, and then said unhappily: "If you weren't my cousin, I wouldn't tell you this good news!"

"That"

Zhu Caixia couldn't help but blush as she listened to Zhu Caixia's sour words and said, "Then I'll listen to you and try it first when the time comes!"

At this time, Li Guoqiang just happened to be sitting in a carriage and returned to the village entrance. Before he entered the village, he was discovered by some naughty kids in the village.

They stared at Li Guoqiang for a while, and then one by one they started cheering as if they had seen the Monkey King.

"Someone come quickly! Uncle Qiangzi is back!"

"Uncle Qiangzi, you are finally back!"

"Uncle Qiangzi, is the capital fun? Is it big? Is it as big as our village?"

Listening to the cheers and innocent questions of the naughty kids, Li Guoqiang felt happy. He then reached into his pocket, took out a handful of White Rabbit candies and scattered them around so that they would stop surrounding the carriage.

Then, while the naughty kids were fighting over the candy, he asked the coachman to drive the carriage home.

However, the shouting of the naughty kids had already alarmed some elderly people who stayed at home. Then they came out of the house one by one on crutches and greeted Li Guoqiang enthusiastically.

Seeing this situation, Li Guoqiang could only ask the coachman to walk and stop, and responded with a smile.

After a short delay, the naughty kids immediately ran to the fields after picking up the candies and told the adults the news that Li Guoqiang had returned.

When the adults heard that Li Guoqiang had returned, they were immediately very excited. They all wanted to go back to the village to meet Li Guoqiang and try to get a spot to go to the city.

When the two production team leaders, Xu Guangfu and Sun Maocai, saw this situation, they hurriedly started to scold and suppress the restless hearts of the people.

However, soon everyone started to make a fuss again, saying that Li Guoqiang was a great contributor to their production team, and now that he was back, they should go back earlier to greet him.

After all, this is because Li Guoqiang has brought so much benefit to the villagers that they no longer care about the few work points they earn from working.

If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have the rationed food in the city and needed to complete the production plan in order to get a certain amount of food rations, they would probably have stopped working in the fields long ago.

Seeing that everyone had lost the heart to work, Xu Guangfu and Sun Maocai got together to discuss and finally decided to give everyone half a day off so that they could go back and properly comfort Li Guoqiang, the great hero.

Upon hearing the news, everyone immediately cheered and rushed back to the village.

At this time, Li Guoqiang just returned home, and with the help of the coachman, he unloaded the large and small packages from the carriage.

Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani heard the noise in the yard and hurried out of the house to check. Then they saw Li Guoqiang and were instantly so excited that they were speechless.

However, after seeing Li Guoqiang, Zhu Caiyan immediately hid in the house, as if she was afraid of being seen by Li Guoqiang.

"What? You don't recognize me?"

When Li Guoqiang saw Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani standing stupidly at the door of the house, he couldn't help but speak with some amusement.

"Big brother!"

"Brother Qiangzi!"

When Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani heard Li Guoqiang's voice, they finally came to their senses. Then they shouted something and ran towards Li Guoqiang, finally throwing themselves into Li Guoqiang's arms.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang chuckled, then reached out and hugged the two sisters, feeling a slight joy in his heart.

As the saying goes, distance produces beauty.

To be honest, after being separated for more than half a month, he really missed these two little girls!

Immediately afterwards, before he could talk to Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani, he heard shouting coming from outside the yard.

"Hadron, hadron!"

Following the sound, Li Guoqiang turned his head and saw Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun running towards him at full speed, as if there was a mad dog chasing them.

Just when he was feeling puzzled about this, he suddenly saw the villagers appearing one after another behind them. He instantly realized something and hurriedly ordered Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani to help take all the things on the ground into the house.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani didn't say anything, but immediately took action swiftly.

After a while, they and Li Guoqiang moved all the things into the house. When they came out, they saw Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun running into the yard with red faces.
