Chapter 313 Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite

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

After Li Guoqiang finished his work at Xiangmi Zhai, he saw that it was almost time, so he said hello to Shang Xiuzhen and others, then went to Wu Cai'e's house carrying a big-headed goose, a rabbit, a roe deer leg, a jar of good wine, and two taels of good tea.

As soon as she entered the room, Wu Cai'e was surprised to see Li Guoqiang carrying so many good things. She then hurried forward and took the things. She also said in a contemptuous manner:

"What's going on with you? Why did you bring so many things here at once? How much will it cost?"

"fine!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hands and said, "If you like these things, keep them for yourself and eat them slowly. When you finish eating, I will get you some other ones.

If you don't like it, give it to my uncle and let him give it away."

"You are so capable!"

When Wu Cai'e heard Li Guoqiang say this, she felt a little sweet in her heart. Then she reached out and touched Li Guoqiang's chest, and spoke in a tender voice.

After saying that, she leaned forward, stood on tiptoe and got close to Li Guoqiang's ear, and continued quietly: "But now I just want to eat what you cook."

Before she could finish her words, her mouth was blocked and she was unknowingly transported to the inner room.

After a long time, she suddenly let out a long sigh, looked at Li Guoqiang with satisfaction, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you think my health has improved a lot now?"

"of course!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, and then said confidently: "With me here, not only will your health improve, but you will also become younger and more beautiful."

"Really?"

Wu Cai'e was slightly stunned, and then she said happily: "I originally thought it was my illusion! It turns out that this is all thanks to you!"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he laughed and said, "If I didn't have some skills, I wouldn't dare to attack you!"

After saying that, he opened his hands and clapped them hard. An instant later, a "pop" sound was heard by his ears, which made people tremble in their hearts.

Seeing this, Wu Cai'e's eyes suddenly condensed, then she rolled her eyes in annoyance, stood up and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, I have to go to work later!"

"to make!"

When Li Guoqiang heard Wu Cai'e say this, he didn't force her. He just nodded and agreed, then got up and packed up.

By the time he had finished packing, Wu Cai'e had also tidied her clothes. She had transformed from a pink and tender caterpillar into a charming lady, making it difficult to take her eyes off her.

Then she walked to the bedside table, took out a bicycle ticket and a small stack of banknotes from the drawer and handed them to Li Guoqiang.

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he saw it, then quickly waved his hand and politely declined, "You don't have to give me the money, just give me the ticket!"

After saying that, he took the bicycle ticket away.

"Just take it if you give it to me!"

Seeing this, Wu Cai'e frowned, and then forcibly stuffed the money in her hand into Li Guoqiang's pocket, and did not forget to teach him a lesson: "You are my person now, so my money is your money. If you are short of money in the future, come to me and ask for it. Don't be so polite to me. Remember?"

"Fine!"

Seeing that Wu Cai'e had said so much, Li Guoqiang could only nod helplessly and agreed, "Then I won't be polite with you. Next time, if you want something to eat, just tell me. I can't say anything else, but I'm pretty good at making food."

"to make!"

When Wu Cai'e heard this, she nodded and agreed without even thinking.

In fact, for her, getting some money was not a problem, but getting some food was not easy.

On the one hand, it is because materials are not abundant these days, and even if you have money, you can’t buy what you want.

On the other hand, it was because she had just returned from Shanghai and had not yet found a more reliable supply channel, especially for those good things.

Otherwise, her man wouldn't value Li Guoqiang so much.

Not long after, Li Guoqiang left Wu Cai'e's home, hurried to the department store, got money and tickets, bought a 28-bar truck, and then went to the police station to get the stamp and license plate.

At this point, he finally had a legal bicycle in the city.

On the way back to Xiangmi Zhai, he just adjusted himself a little, then simply let go of his hands, and just by pedaling with his feet, he could make the bicycle move forward as he wished.

When the pedestrians on the roadside saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at Li Guoqiang in surprise.

You know, these days, since bicycles are large and valuable items, many people treat them very carefully when using them, fearing that they might get bumped or damaged accidentally. A typical example is Yan Bugui.

Moreover, the old city nowadays does not have as many roads as in later generations, and many alleys are still made of bluestone roads. Even people who have ridden bicycles for several years dare not say that they can ride a bicycle with their hands free.

Therefore, this also makes Li Guoqiang's behavior particularly eye-catching.

This is because he doesn't want to be a Buddhist. Otherwise, with just this one trick, he would be able to make a name for himself and win over many women.

However, he was not a person who liked to show off. After satisfying his desire, he put his hands on the handlebars again, rode his bicycle seriously, and rushed back to Xiangmi Zhai.

"Hey! Brother Qiangzi, are you buying a car?"

When Shang Xiuzhen and others saw Li Guoqiang pushing a bicycle in, their eyes suddenly lit up, and then they all came forward to look left and right, with joy on their faces.

After all, they are Li Guoqiang's people, and if Li Guoqiang buys a car, it is equivalent to them buying a car. If they want to go to a farther place in the future, it will be much more convenient.

"okay!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hands and said, "Don't join in the fun. Take care of the guests first. There will be plenty of opportunities to ride later."

After saying that, he pushed the bicycle directly into the backyard and placed it under the eaves.

However, he still underestimated Xu Yuchang and others' yearning for bicycles. After a short while, Xu Yuchang and others surrounded the bicycle, and everyone was scrambling to try riding it first.

If you don’t know, you would think they are fighting over the bride!

Li Guoqiang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and then he quickly set rules for them, asking them to take the bikes outside when they were free and take turns learning how to ride. Hearing his arrangement, Xu Yuchang and others gave him a thumbs up, thinking that he was really a very kind person.

If it were them, they would not be willing to hand over a newly bought bicycle to so many rude men to learn how to ride, for fear that it would fall apart if they were not careful.

In fact, for Li Guoqiang, such a bicycle is nothing at all.

If the social environment did not allow it, he would probably want to go abroad and buy a car directly.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan, who heard the noise in the kitchen, also hurried out.

"Hey, Sister Juan, slow down!"

When Li Guoqiang saw Luo Huijuan jogging, his heart tightened, and he hurried forward and reached out to support Luo Huijuan.

"fine!"

Seeing this, Luo Huijuan hurriedly shook her head and said comfortingly: "I'm not that weak yet, you don't have to worry so much."

As she spoke, her eyes could not stop glancing at the bicycle, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, as if she had already seen the scene of Li Guoqiang riding a bicycle and carrying her through the streets and alleys.

Just as she was about to walk forward and take a closer look at their new bike, she suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, quickly rushing towards the bike.

After taking a closer look, she realized that this person was none other than her mother Yao Meilan.

At this moment, Yao Meilan's face was full of joy. She reached out and touched the bicycle for a few times, then turned her head suddenly, looked at Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan, and said excitedly:
"Qiangzi, Xiaojuan, I think this bike can be used by Xiaofu when he marries Qiuyan. Just think of it as our family buying it for him. You can ride his bike to and from get off work on weekdays. It's the same anyway."

After saying that, she didn't care whether Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan agreed or not. She pushed the bicycle out in front of everyone's surprised eyes to prevent it from getting dirty or damaged by others.

"Hey"

Seeing this, Luo Huijuan frowned and hurriedly wanted to call out to Yao Meilan.

However, before she could say anything, Li Guoqiang stopped her with his eyes.

No matter what, Yao Meilan is his nominal mother, and now she is in front of so many people, he can't let them laugh at him.

Moreover, he had completely understood Yao Meilan's nature and knew that in order to solve this problem, he had to come up with a permanent solution.

Otherwise, even if he presented facts and reasoned with Yao Meilan and resolved the matter now, the next time he came across something good, Yao Meilan would still consider her own son Luo Guofu first.

Just like now, Yao Meilan had just told her daughters-in-law Luo Huijuan and Shang Xiuzhen last night that they would no longer do stupid things, but now that she saw this newly bought, shiny and bright bicycle, she forgot everything she had said before.

To put it bluntly, even if you really want to do that, you have to wait until there is no one around and discuss it with them in private!

What's the point of saying this in front of everyone?
Forced to have an uterus?
Therefore, this made Li Guoqiang wonder whether Yao Meilan did it on purpose?
Luo Huijuan looked at Li Guoqiang and found that he did not seem very angry. She immediately felt relieved. She did not insist on going to Yao Meilan to reason with her and let her push her bicycle out.

Then, she turned her head to look at Xu Yuchang and the others, smiled softly and said, "Okay, stop standing there and watching. This bike was originally bought for my brother Xiaofu to marry a wife. Wait for Qiangzi to ride the other bike over here some other day, and you can use it to practice riding. This way, you won't feel bad even if you fall."

"Yes, yes, that's right!"

"Then let's listen to my sister-in-law."

"Let's go! Get to work!"

After hearing Luo Huijuan's words, Xu Yuchang, Sun Jinda and others hurriedly spoke up to agree, then dispersed and continued to work on the things at hand, as if nothing unhappy had happened just now.

However, after Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan entered the kitchen, they couldn't help but gather together and complained in a low voice: "Hey, I think Qiangzi's mother is too much. The new car was just bought and we haven't even had time to sit in it yet, but she pushed it away directly."

"That's right! As far as I know, Qiangzi and his brother have already separated, right? Isn't this way of eating too ugly?"

"If it were in our countryside, once the brothers split up the family property, even if they were parents, they couldn't just give things from one son to another son."

"Okay, just stop talking! As the saying goes, every family has its own problems, so let's not make things worse."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly dispersed to go about their own business.

"Qiangzi, don't worry, I will talk to mom about this."

At this time, on the other side, Luo Huijuan was in the kitchen. Seeing Li Guoqiang silent, she hurriedly spoke to comfort him, fearing that Li Guoqiang would hold his anger in his heart and then suffer a big blow.

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he asked with a laugh: "Then how are you going to tell her?"

"I"

When Luo Huijuan heard this question, she opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Because she knew that with Yao Meilan's love for Luo Guofu, such things would be difficult to avoid as long as they lived together.

Unless, they can separate from Yao Meilan and live on their own.

But Li Dawei only has one son, Li Guoqiang. If they really did that, they would definitely be drowned in spit.

"okay!"

Seeing Luo Huijuan like this, Li Guoqiang quickly waved his hands and said, "I know what's going on with this matter. Don't worry about it. Take good care of yourself. It's more important than anything else."

"Fine!"

Luo Huijuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.

Although she didn't really want any conflicts to arise in the family, the family had already broken up since her grandfather Luo Jiwu wanted to marry her to someone else.

Moreover, some things cannot be done the way she wants.

Since she is now married to Li Guoqiang, she has to stand on Li Guoqiang's side and consider things for him. If Li Guoqiang really has any conflict with Yao Meilan, she can only try to mediate.

Soon, it was evening in the blink of an eye.

Since the bicycle was pushed back by Yao Meilan, Li Guoqiang could only accompany Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others to walk back to the courtyard from Xiangmi Zhai.

Then, as they walked into the courtyard, they saw Yao Meilan walking out of the gatehouse with a broom and dustpan.
