Chapter 286 What are you doing?

Hearing Qu Yinfeng's words, Xu Yuping hurriedly reached out and picked up the small wine jar and poured a large bowl of aged wine for Li Guoqiang.

By the way, this wine was specially left by Li Guoqiang for Xu Yuping and others so that they could use it to entertain guests from time to time!

As a stream of clear wine dripped from the mouth of the jar into the bowl, a mellow aroma of wine wafted in the air.

After filling Li Guoqiang's glass with wine, Xu Yuping poured half a bowl of wine for herself, Ma Shufen, and Qu Yinfeng.

Then, she put down the small wine jar, picked up the bowl, looked at Li Guoqiang tenderly, and said softly: "Qiangzi, congratulations on successfully completing the task, helping everyone earn so much money, and becoming the biggest celebrity in the village."

"Correct!"

Seeing this, Ma Shufen hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and said with admiration: "I have been to many places over the years, but I have never seen a man as capable as you, who can lead an entire production team to make so much money and let everyone live a good life.

So, I really admire you from the bottom of my heart.

Here, I will accompany you for a walk."

After saying that, she tilted back her pale neck and drank all the wine in the bowl.

At this time, Xu Yuping also hurriedly followed suit, tilting her head back and drinking gulps of wine, fearing that Ma Shufen would steal the lead.

When Li Guoqiang saw them like this, he felt a little happy in his heart. Without saying anything humble, he just reached out and picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

His bold look fully displayed his manliness, which made Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen, Zhu Caiyan and Zhu Caixia's eyes sparkle with surprise.

"Come on, don't just drink, eat something!"

Qu Yinfeng looked at the harmonious scene in front of her and immediately felt satisfied. She then hurriedly smiled and greeted them.

As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg for Li Guoqiang to show her concern for him.

"Auntie, we are all family, please don't be polite, I will do it myself!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang quickly waved his hand and spoke.

"to make!"

When Qu Yinfeng heard Li Guoqiang's words, she instantly smiled so happily that her eyebrows were not visible.

Although now, with a job at the bee farm and dividends from Xiangmi Zhai, their family no longer has to worry about not being able to make ends meet.

However, she knew very well that all of this was brought to them by Li Guoqiang. Once their family had no relationship with Li Guoqiang, it would be easy for them, an orphan and a widow, to be eaten up without leaving anything behind.

Therefore, no matter what, she had to hold Li Guoqiang's thighs tightly.

"Here, Dani, this chicken leg is for you!"

Li Guoqiang looked at the chicken leg in the bowl, then looked at the greedy little girl beside him, and immediately picked up the chicken leg.

"Big brother is the best!"

When Xu Dani saw this, she was so happy that her eyes narrowed together, and then she quickly opened her mouth to flatter him.

After saying that, she reached out and grabbed the chicken leg, brought it to her mouth, took a big bite, and started chewing it with a happy look on her face.

You know, she hasn't eaten so much delicious meat for more than half a month since Li Guoqiang went to Sijiu City. This time she must enjoy it to her heart's content.

Seeing her satisfied look, Zhu Caixia suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.

Then, before she turned her head to look at Li Guoqiang, she saw a pair of chopsticks picking up a large chicken leg and putting it in her bowl, which instantly made her feel surprised.

"Eat! Eat more so you can grow taller and bigger!"

Li Guoqiang saw Zhu Caixia's reaction, smiled slightly, and then whispered a reminder.

"Ok!"

Zhu Caixia came back to her senses, nodded quickly and agreed, then picked up the chicken leg and started eating it, while secretly lowering her head to glance at it, and then muttered something in her heart.

[Actually, I’m already big now! ]

"Come on, let's eat together!"

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea of ​​Zhu Caixia's little thoughts. He turned to Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen, Zhu Caiyan and Qu Yinfeng, greeted them, and then ate and drank leisurely.

When Zhu Caiyan heard Li Guoqiang's greeting and looked at the big chicken legs in Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani's hands, she couldn't help feeling envious.

Then, she didn't dare to say anything, but just lowered her head silently and slowly ate these delicacies that she had rarely seen before.

At the same time, she also understood why Xu Yuping was willing to give up her official status and secretly be with Li Guoqiang.

Not to mention anything else, just the juicy, delicious and tempting food in front of her would make her happy.

Just as she was thinking about climbing the kang again, Li Guoqiang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth, then said softly: "By the way, today the brigade cadres told me that they want to give me the land next to our house as a homestead.

I wanted to refuse, but they insisted, so I agreed."

"so"

Xu Yuping's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly asked, "Are you going to move out from here in the future?"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then smiled softly and said, "When the house is built, we will definitely move there.

But you don’t have to worry too much, at worst I can just live in both places, and no one will say anything.”

"Ok!"

When Xu Yuping heard what Li Guoqiang said, although she was not very happy, she didn't say anything else.

After all, her relationship with Li Guoqiang has always been hidden from the public.

Moreover, the brigade has already taken the initiative to deliver the homestead to Li Guoqiang. She can't just stop it, right?
Seeing her like this, Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then directly reached out and put his arm around her waist, and whispered to comfort her: "Okay, no matter what happens in the future, this is my home, so you can rest assured!"

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Xu Yuping immediately glanced at Zhu Caiyan awkwardly, then nodded silently in agreement.

When Zhu Caiyan saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly lowered her head, as if trying to cover up her mistakes.

Little did she know that Li Guoqiang didn't care about her at all.

Because with Zhu Caiyan's identity and status, even if she wanted to go out and tell others about him and Xu Yuping, someone would have to believe her.

Otherwise, how could he allow Zhu Caiyan to stay so easily.

However, after this interruption, the atmosphere became a little colder.

Except for Xu Dani who still looked heartless, everyone else was more or less a little worried.

Li Guoqiang didn't care much about this.

In his opinion, sometimes it is necessary to put some pressure on Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen and others, so as to prevent them from being too relaxed and developing a spoiled mentality.

Soon, they finished their dinner, and then under the orange light, they turned on the radio, listened to the soft songs on the radio, and sat on the kang to chat about family matters.

Gradually, the atmosphere became relaxed and warm again. When it was past eight o'clock in the evening, Qu Yinfeng saw that it was getting late, so she hurriedly urged Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani to go to bed quickly.

When Zhu Caixia heard this, she immediately looked at Li Guoqiang with some resentment, then pouted her lips slightly, pulled Xu Dani to the north kang and lay down to prepare for sleep.

Seeing this, Zhu Caiyan took the initiative to run over and lie down next to Zhu Caixia without waiting for Qu Yinfeng to speak, portraying herself as a well-behaved and sensible girl.

However, her mood was not as relaxed as she looked, and her ears were slightly perked up, obviously she was somewhat curious about the affairs of Li Guoqiang and Xu Yuping.

Perhaps, there is still some meaning that I want to learn from.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guoqiang also got up and went back to the next room.

Just when Zhu Caiyan thought that Xu Yuping would follow, she found that Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen first turned off the oil lamp, and then lay down on the south kang, looking like they were getting ready to sleep.

This made her very confused, and she even suspected that Zhu Caixia was lying to her?

As she was thinking, she fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

When Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen saw that the children were already asleep, they suppressed their excitement, got up quietly, and then groped in the dark and went to the next room.

In the blink of an eye, it was early morning of the next day.

Zhu Caixia woke up from her sleep in a daze by the tempting aroma of food, then suddenly thought of something, sat up and turned to look towards the south kang.

Soon, she discovered that Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen, who were originally sleeping on the south kang, had disappeared.

Outside the window, it had also become completely white, and it was obviously daybreak.

Seeing this situation, she immediately felt annoyed and confused. She had no way of confirming whether Xu Yuping and Li Guoqiang were who Zhu Caixia said.

If so, that's easy to say.

If not, then she would have to think carefully about what to do next?

"Hmm~"

At this time, Zhu Caixia, who was sleeping next to her, stretched out her arms and saw Zhu Caiyan sitting there in a daze. She was slightly stunned and asked softly:
"Sister Yanzi, what are you doing sitting here?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

Zhu Caiyan came back to her senses after hearing this, then rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "It's all because of what you told me before."

"What is it?"

Zhu Caixia raised her eyebrows and asked with some confusion.

"that is."

Seeing this, Zhu Caiyan quickly put her mouth close to Zhu Caixia's ear and asked in a low voice, "You told me before that your mother and Brother Qiangzi were together, but last night, I didn't see them together at all. What's going on?"

"Are you stupid?"

After hearing this, Zhu Caixia couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then said with a look of disgust: "If they really want to be together, can you see it? Can you use your brain to think about it?"

"Forehead"

Zhu Caiyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses and a slightly embarrassed look appeared on her face.

"Let me tell you!"

Seeing Zhu Caiyan like this, Zhu Caixia curled her lips slightly, then lowered her voice and said, "You'd better not think too much. I don't think Brother Qiangzi has any intention towards you at all. Even if you can find a chance to climb onto the kang, I don't think you will have a chance."

"you"

Zhu Caiyan frowned when she heard this, and then said indignantly: "Why are you so sure? Maybe Brother Qiangzi likes someone like me?"

"You like this?"

Zhu Caixia glanced at Zhu Caiyan, and then asked mischievously: "What do you mean by that? Are you prettier than my mom? Or are you older than my mom?"

"I"

Zhu Caiyan looked down at herself, then thought of Xu Yuping's appearance and figure, and suddenly became speechless.

"okay!"

Seeing that Zhu Caiyan still had some self-awareness, Zhu Caixia quickly waved her hand and advised, "Just listen to me! Now that Brother Qiangzi has agreed to let you stay, don't make so many troubles.

Otherwise, even if Brother Qiangzi doesn't chase you away, I think my mother will chase you away too."

Hearing this, Zhu Caiyan was stunned, and then asked angrily: "You knew this would happen, but you gave me such an idea before?"

"Then I don't know that Brother Qiangzi will agree to let you stay!"

Zhu Caixia glared and then spoke with some confidence.

Zhu Caiyan: “.”

Just when she was speechless, Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen opened the door curtain one after another and walked in carrying a pot of chicken offal, sauerkraut and vermicelli stew and two plates of cold dishes.

Their radiant and graceful looks stunned Zhu Caiyan.

If she hadn't just had an argument with Zhu Caixia, she would have thought she was still asleep.

[How did they suddenly become so young and beautiful? It's as if they were completely different people.]

"Hey, now you know I didn't lie to you, right?"

When Zhu Caixia saw Zhu Caiyan standing there in a daze, she felt a little happy. Then she moved closer and spoke in a mischievous tone.

Hearing her words, Zhu Caiyan suddenly turned her head and looked at her, her eyes full of surprise.

"You mean"

"Shh!"

Before Zhu Caiyan could finish her words, Zhu Caixia hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and gave her a warning look, telling her not to talk nonsense.

Seeing this, Zhu Caiyan reacted quickly, then hurriedly suppressed her surprise, turned her head again to look at Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

When Zhu Caixia saw that Zhu Caiyan understood what she meant, she immediately felt relieved and looked at Ma Shufen with mixed feelings.

If she was a little unsure before whether Ma Shufen was involved, now seeing that Ma Shufen and Xu Yuping both looked so radiant, she was 100% sure that she had a new stepmother.

Fortunately, Ma Shufen is about the same age as Xu Yuping, so she doesn't feel too anxious.

Afterwards, without Xu Yuping's urging, she took Xu Dani and Zhu Caiyan, who had just woken up, outside to wash up, so as not to leave any bad impression on Li Guoqiang.

When they finished washing up, Li Guoqiang just happened to come over from the next room and had breakfast with them.

While they were eating, Xu Guangfu suddenly came over with Lao Sun and others, pulling a few stone pillars on a donkey cart.

When Li Guoqiang walked out and saw this scene, he immediately found it a little funny.

Because he knew that this was to measure the residential land for him.
