Chapter 288 A strong man locks up a man
"what do you mean?"

When Xu Yuying heard what Xu Guangfu said, she was stunned.

Why would he ask her if she wanted to go to the old city?
Could it be that Xu Guangfu wanted her to follow Li Guoqiang into the city and become his mistress?
Isn't it?

"Well, girl, this is what happened."

Seeing Xu Yuying's confused look, Xu Guangfu hurriedly told her that the Jinshanbao Production Brigade needed to send an educated villager to Sijiucheng to be responsible for reconciling accounts with Li Guoqiang.

"no!"

After listening to this, Xu Yuying frowned, and then said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Dad, what are you thinking? I'm doing well as a broadcaster now, and you want me to go back and help the team do such a thankless job?"

What's more, she had just been ruthlessly rejected by Li Guoqiang, and now he asked her to work for him. Isn't that just to torture her?
"Yes!"

Seeing Xu Yuying so excited, Xu Guangfu nodded and explained: "Reconciliation is indeed a thankless task, but there is no other way!
You also know that there are few people in Jinshanbao who can read, let alone keep accounts.

What's more, you are now working as a broadcaster, and you only earn more than 30 yuan a month. If you really go to Sijiucheng, I can ask Qiangzi to help you get a formal job. Then you can become a member of Sijiucheng.

Besides, didn't you always say that you must go to Sijiu City if you have the chance? Now that the opportunity has come, just tell me whether you want to go or not?"

"You didn't deceive me?"

Xu Yuying was slightly stunned, then asked with some intention: "Can you really let me become a citizen of the Forty-Nine City?"

"Ouch!"

Xu Guangfu curled his lips, and then said unhappily: "Look at what you said, I would never fool you, no matter who I am!"

"That"

Xu Yuying pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "How are you going to explain this to the village? If I become a member of Sijiucheng, I won't be able to represent the team to settle accounts with Qiangzi."

"It's easy!"

Xu Guangfu waved his hand, and then said confidently: "Then we can let the villagers nominate another person!"

"Ok!"

Xu Yuying nodded and agreed, then rolled her eyes and asked, "Then are you willing to let me move to the city? What if I don't come back in the future? Wouldn't you be without a daughter?"

"It's better not to come back!"

Xu Guangfu rolled his eyes, then said with some disdain: "It would be better if you stay at home and can't get married, which would make me upset."

"dad!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuying stamped her feet in anger and said angrily, "I'm not not getting married on purpose. It's just that I haven't found the right one!"

"Alright, alright!"

Xu Guangfu waved his hand, and then said unhappily, "You don't have to explain so much to me. Over the years, I've heard you give all kinds of reasons, and my ears are callused.

If you really want your mother and I to feel at ease, you should just find someone to marry and live a good life.

In the past, you always said that you couldn't find a good man in our small place. Now I'm giving you a chance to go to the Forbidden City. You can always find a suitable one there, right?"

"Humph!"

When Xu Yuying heard what Xu Guangfu said, she immediately reacted, and then she couldn't help but snorted and said contemptuously: "Is this the reason you want me to go to Sijiu City?"

"Then are you going?"

Seeing that things had come to this, Xu Guangfu didn't want to fool Xu Yuying anymore, and directly issued an ultimatum, "If you don't go, I will give this opportunity to someone else."

"I"

Xu Yuying opened her mouth, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should agree or not.

"You still can't forget Qiangzi?"

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked in a deep voice.

"Ok!"

Xu Yuying pursed her lips, then hesitated for a while, and finally nodded slightly and told the truth.

In fact, she could not only not forget Li Guoqiang, but even at night, she would often dream of Li Guoqiang's handsome face, as if she was possessed.

If it weren't for the little bit of pride in her heart, she would have wanted to find Li Guoqiang to confide her feelings.

"Ugh!"

When Xu Guangfu saw Xu Yuying like this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If possible, he also wanted Li Guoqiang to be his son-in-law, but now they were already married, he couldn't force them to divorce, right?
"dad!"

Xu Yuying was silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and said apprehensively, "I'd better not go. I'm worried that I'll feel uncomfortable seeing them together."

"no!"

Xu Guangfu glared, then said seriously: "The more you act like this, the more you should go. Maybe you will give up after watching for a while."

"dad!"

Xu Yuying frowned, and then said unhappily, "Aren't you afraid that I'll run off and snatch the man away from someone else?"

Xu Guangfu: “.”

"Alright, alright!"

Seeing that Xu Guangfu didn't say anything, Xu Yuying couldn't help but said in annoyance: "You go back first! Let me think about it carefully. Whether I go or not, I will give you an answer tomorrow at the latest."

"to make!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Guangfu nodded, and without saying anything else, he turned around and left the commune radio station and rushed back to Jinshanbao.

In addition to this person in charge of reconciliation, he also had to hurry up and decide on the candidates for several other formal job positions.

According to Li Guoqiang's suggestion, in addition to Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda, Ma Hongjun, Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, he also had to decide who should be given the remaining two jobs.

What's more important is how to ensure that Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda, Ma Hongjun, Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling can get jobs.

In this regard, the solution he came up with was to bring Li Guoqiang along, take every household on the list, and ask them to sign and seal.

This can not only prevent people from causing a commotion and creating an uncontrollable situation, but also keep things under control within the smallest scope.

Soon, it was evening and everyone had returned from work in the fields and the apiary.

Xu Guangfu also discussed with Sun Maocai and other brigade cadres who should be given the remaining two jobs.

One of them was given to Ma Changshun's youngest son Ma Baokun, and the other was given to Sun Maocai's second son Sun Yaoxing. At the same time, in exchange, Ma Changshun and Sun Maocai also promised Xu Guangfu that they would support Li Guoqiang in helping Xu Yuying get a formal job.

After the list was written, Xu Guangfu took it to Li Guoqiang's house, told Li Guoqiang about the situation, and then went to other villagers' homes together to ask the household representatives to sign the list.

When the villagers saw the two giants, Xu Guangfu and Li Guoqiang, coming together, they didn't dare to raise any objections at all.

Soon, they obtained the signatures of all household representatives and finalized the list.

In fact, there were less than forty households in Jinshanbao. Excluding the people involved in the list, there were also brigade cadres, Li Guoqiang, Qu Yinfeng and those educated youth, and less than half of them were left.

Moreover, many of these families have families with children, and there is no way they can afford to abandon their entire families and move to Sijiucheng, just like Xu Laosan who had been to Sijiucheng last time.

Therefore, overall, this matter is a happy ending for everyone.

After finishing the work, Xu Guangfu took Li Guoqiang directly back to his home, sat them face to face on the kang, and then talked about the development of the bee farm and Xiangmi Zhai.

"Qiangzi, according to your previous plan, by next year, the scale of our brigade's apiary will double again, and correspondingly, the number of staff in the apiary will also double again.

Add to that those who go to the city with you, and the number of people in the production team will be reduced by at least one third.

Plus, everyone has money now, which makes me worry that no one will do the work in the fields!"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he laughed and said, "This is a simple matter. If no one is willing to work in the fields, you can apply to the higher authorities to request more educated youth.

Anyway, we have the conditions now, so we don’t have to worry about not being able to support others.

In addition, although I also hope that the scale of our brigade's apiary can develop and expand rapidly, since the nectar sources in each place are limited, it will not be so easy to expand further after the current scale is doubled, and there will not be many people to use.

This way, you don’t have to worry too much about the problem of lack of manpower.”

"That's true!"

When Xu Guangfu heard what Li Guoqiang said, he frowned slightly and thought for a while, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

After saying that, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he came close to Li Guoqiang and asked in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, is Yuping and you together?"

"Forehead"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Xu Guangfu with some confusion, not understanding what he meant?
"okay!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu immediately glared at Li Guoqiang in annoyance, and then said softly: "Don't play dumb with me, kid. Although I don't have any evidence, I have seen so many people and things with my eyes over the years. You are still a little too naive to hide it from me.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the fact that you just came back, Yuping was so happy as if it was New Year’s Day, all she could see in her eyes was you, even a fool could see the problem.”

"Uncle Fu!"

When Li Guoqiang heard Xu Guangfu say this, he interrupted him and said, "Just say what you want to say!"

"Row!"

Xu Guangfu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "Then I will speak frankly. I hope you can be nicer to our Yingzi in the future."

"What do you mean?"

Li Guoqiang was stunned when he heard this, then asked in surprise.

"What else could I mean?"

Xu Guangfu rolled his eyes, then said unhappily, "That's what you think!"

"no!"

Li Guoqiang was startled, and then he said quickly: "Are you kidding me? Don't joke with me about this kind of thing."

"Who's kidding you?"

Xu Guangfu straightened his expression, and then said in a serious tone: "I'm telling you, I'm handing Yingzi over to you now. If you dare to bully her, you'll see how I'll deal with you in the future!"

"I"

Li Guoqiang opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but seeing Xu Guangfu's serious look, he couldn't help but swallow his words back, and then asked with a bit of a smile: "I say, what on earth are you doing? Sister Yingzi is your own daughter, even if you want to marry her off, you don't have to do this, right?

What's more, I'm already married now, aren't you forcing me to marry you?"

"Don't talk so much nonsense to me!"

Xu Guangfu waved his hand, and then said unhappily: "Just ask if you can help me take care of Yingzi?"

“Yes, I can.”

Li Guoqiang frowned, then said with an embarrassed look: "But this is too unfair to Sister Yingzi, why don't you think about it carefully!"

"What?"

Xu Guangfu's face darkened, and then he said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't be so good to me after you got the advantage? If it wasn't for Yingzi, she would have liked you. Do you think I would be willing to let her follow you like this without knowing the reason?

Also, don’t be too happy too soon. I’m just telling you this now. You have to talk to Yingzi yourself to decide whether it will work or not.

If you two really succeed, you can go to the city together and live a good life. When you get pregnant, you can let Yingzi come back to the village to give birth, and tell others that she got married in the city. Do you understand?"

"Forehead"

When Li Guoqiang heard that Xu Guangfu had already thought about having a child, he immediately understood that Xu Guangfu was determined to give his daughter to him.

The reason for this, in addition to the fact that Xu Yuying really liked him, perhaps she also wanted to tie him completely to the Xu family's car in this way.

He looked at Xu Guangfu's determined expression and thought that if he didn't agree, it would probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, so he finally nodded and agreed, "Then I'll listen to you."

"Eh!"

When Xu Guangfu saw that Li Guoqiang had agreed, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and said, "That's right!"

At this moment, he felt like he had fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

In fact, he had not originally intended to do so, but when he thought of Xu Yuying's description of Li Guoqiang's depressed look, he finally couldn't help but bring it up to Li Guoqiang.

As for whether doing so would embarrass him, he didn't really care.

In his opinion, the most important thing is that his daughter can live happily.

Besides, being Li Guoqiang's servant is better than becoming an old nun in the future!

If that really happens, it would be really embarrassing!
