Chapter 333 Who said I can't compare to him?
"Don't! Mom, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, isn't that enough?"
Luo Guofu took Yao Meilan's hand and spoke anxiously.
Although he was a little afraid that Yao Meilan would find out that he was fooling around, he was even more afraid that Yao Meilan would accidentally make a big deal out of it and then become unable to clean up the mess.
"Humph!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Meilan snorted coldly, then shook off Luo Guofu's hand and waited quietly for him to tell the truth.
"that."
Luo Guofu saw that he could not escape this disaster, so he said very straightforwardly: "Mom, I really like Sister Xiaofang, even more than I like Yan Zi.
Besides, she is already mine, I will bring her back to see you after some time."
"you"
Yao Meilan was shocked by Luo Guofu's plan, and then she scolded him angrily, "Are you crazy? It's not enough that you messed around with her outside, you also want to bring her home? Do you think your life is too good?"
"no!"
Luo Guofu frowned when he saw Yao Meilan's big reaction, and then he retorted indignantly: "Mom, why is it not okay for me to bring someone back? Don't you see my brother? Didn't he bring back six or seven sisters-in-law for me?"
"Can you compete with your brother?"
When Yao Meilan heard Luo Guofu compare Li Guoqiang to her, she immediately scolded him with a look of disappointment: "Your brother has been in the countryside for less than a year, and he has achieved so many results and brought so many good things to the family.
Look at yourself, what else can you do besides having a job?
With your little salary, it's hard to support yourself and your wife. You still want to compete with your brother? What can you compare with him?
Besides, the sisters-in-law your brother found for you are all grown-up girls. What's the point of you getting involved with a widow now?
Do you still want to help raise children?"
Hearing this series of questions, Luo Guofu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but when he thought about his own situation, he didn't say anything in the end. He just lowered his head silently to express his dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, he just happened to like Mu Xiaofang and didn't intend to look for a widow.
What's more, what does it matter if he has no money? As long as his brother Li Guoqiang has money, it will be fine.
Moreover, as Li Guoqiang's younger brother, it's okay that he can't compare to Li Guoqiang in other aspects, but he can't even catch up with Li Guoqiang when it comes to being a wife, right?
If people knew this, wouldn't he be very embarrassed?
I have to say that he is just at the age of middle school, and many of his ideas seem naive and rebellious.
The only good thing is that he is still relatively filial. At least he would not talk back to Yao Meilan in front of her, let alone just walk away in disdain.
When Yao Meilan saw Luo Guofu like this, she couldn't help but feel a headache for a moment. At the same time, she also blamed Li Guoqiang for not being a good role model as an older brother, which led to Luo Guofu's bad behavior.
At this moment, she knew that no matter what she said, Luo Guofu would definitely not listen.
Since he won't listen, it probably won't be of any use even if she hits him with a stick.
How to do it?
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally came up with a solution that was not a solution, and then she said hurriedly: "Well, if you want me to ignore your affairs, you have to promise me one thing first."
"What is it?"
When Luo Guofu saw Yao Meilan's sudden change of attitude, he was suddenly delighted and asked hurriedly.
"you know too!"
Yao Meilan's face darkened, and then she said seriously, "You are the only one left in your Luo family, and your grandfather is almost going crazy for a great-grandson. In order to prevent you from messing around outside and getting yourself killed, you must first continue the Luo family's incense.
In other words, you can learn from your brother, but you have to give birth to a big fat boy with Qiuyan first.
Otherwise, I will ask your father and brother to break your legs, and I will not let you do anything wrong outside. "
"This"
When Luo Guofu heard this condition, he immediately felt a little hesitant.
After all, it would take at least another year and a half to meet Yao Meilan's conditions.
We can't let him hold it in for such a long time, right?
However, he also knew that Yao Meilan was not joking with him. If he continued to mess around outside before fulfilling this condition, and if Yao Meilan found out, she would definitely let Li Dawei and Li Guoqiang break his legs.
"What?"
Seeing that Luo Guofu didn't say anything, Yao Meilan raised her eyebrows and then directly provoked him, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to learn from your brother? Your brother has made all your sisters-in-law pregnant. You can't be inferior to him in this aspect, right?"
"Who said I can't compare to him?"
When Luo Guofu heard the news, his eyes widened, and then he quickly retorted: "I just think that the conditions you mentioned take too long."
"Okay!"
When Yao Meilan heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Then I'll change it to Qiuyan is pregnant. That way, you should be fine, right?"
"to make!"
Luo Guofu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he nodded quickly and agreed, "Then do as you say."
After saying this, he thought to himself that he had been with Zhao Qiuyan for some time, and if things went smoothly, he should be able to know the result within ten days or half a month.
By then, he will be able to enjoy the sky as high as the birds fly and the sea as wide as the fish leap.
When Yao Meilan saw Luo Guofu's happy expression, she sighed silently in her heart.
The reason why she proposed this condition to Luo Guofu was, on the one hand, for the sake of the inheritance of the Luo family's incense, and on the other hand, she wanted to use this to stabilize Luo Guofu first, so that she could have some time to think of ways to make Luo Guofu change.
Soon, she went to the kitchen to help Zhao Qiuyan cook.
After finishing his meal, Luo Guofu hurriedly pulled Zhao Qiuyan into the house, wanting to strike while the iron was hot.
Zhao Qiuyan couldn't help feeling confused for a moment when she saw Luo Guofu was so anxious, until Luo Guofu said that he wanted to give Luo Jiwu an explanation as soon as possible, she finally felt relieved and even secretly happy.
Because she believed that Yao Meilan and Li Guoqiang would not watch her and Luo Guofu's child being unable to obtain a household registration in the city.
If she could get pregnant earlier, she could get a formal job in the city from Li Guoqiang earlier, and then move her household registration from the countryside to the city earlier. While she was working hard for her better tomorrow, Li Guoqiang also found Cai Quanwu, who was transporting goods after lunch, and then found a second-hand tricycle through his introduction, and finally bought it for more than 200 yuan.
Then, he rode the tricycle to a repair stall and asked the stall owner to help him add two rows of seats and armrests on the bed, transforming the tricycle into a style that was more suitable for people to sit in, just like the passenger-carrying three-wheeled vehicles of later generations.
By the time the modification was completed, it was already past 4 p.m., just in time to go to the textile factory to pick up people.
When Luo Huijuan saw Li Guoqiang coming to pick her up on a fashionable-looking tricycle, she was immediately surprised.
Especially when she sat on the cushion wrapped in rabbit skin, holding the armrests and leaning against the truck bed, she couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
Because of this, it is much more comfortable than riding a bicycle before, just like riding in a car.
What’s more important is that the safety is greatly improved and there is no need to worry about bumps or falls.
"Are you seated?"
Li Guoqiang looked at Luo Huijuan's surprised expression, felt happy, and then asked softly.
"Ok!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Huijuan hurriedly nodded in agreement, then grabbed the handrail to steady herself.
"Then let's walk!"
When Li Guoqiang saw that Luo Huijuan was really seated, he immediately shouted and then stepped hard on the pedal.
The next moment, the tricycle shot out from where it was, as if it had been powered by a motor.
When the workers nearby saw this scene, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Because they had never seen anyone pedal a tricycle as fast as a bicycle!
Then, they couldn't help but feel envious of Luo Huijuan who was sitting in the car.
After all, who doesn’t want to find a husband like Li Guoqiang who is capable, handsome and caring!
Not long after, in the face of Li Guoqiang's powerful strength, the tricycle sped all the way back to Xiangmi Zhai, and the time it took was even shorter than when riding a bicycle before.
This is also thanks to the fact that Sijiu City already has many cement roads. Otherwise, no matter how strong he is, he won't be able to ride too fast on those bluestone roads.
Otherwise, your butt will be broken.
Immediately afterwards, Li Guoqiang did not carry the tricycle into the store, but found a place to park it outside the store.
Therefore, when Shen Fengxia, Shang Xiuzhen and others, after packing up the shop, were preparing to walk back to the courtyard with Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan as usual, they were suddenly startled by a fashionable tricycle parked at the door.
Later, when they saw Li Guoqiang walk up to them, ride the tricycle in front of them, and call them to get on the tricycle with a smile, they were still unable to react.
No matter what they thought, they never imagined that Li Guoqiang would actually spend money to get a tricycle to pick them up and drop them off at get off work.
This made them happy and touched, and they felt that they had really followed the right person.
You know, although people are calling for gender equality these days, the rules and cognitions passed down for thousands of years are not so easy to change.
Especially for some ordinary people, they generally still retain the traditional idea that men should work outside and women should work inside.
In other words, it is basically women who serve men, and it is rare for men to serve women, let alone riding a tricycle to pick them up and drop them off at get off work every day.
Not to mention how much it costs to buy a tricycle, just pedaling the tricycle back and forth every day is a very tiring task.
So, how could this not move them?
"Hey!"
Li Guoqiang saw that Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and the others didn't react, and he couldn't help but urge them with a bit of amusement: "Why are you still standing there like idiots? Hurry up and get in the car!"
"Oh!"
After hearing this, Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others finally came to their senses, and hurriedly followed Luo Huijuan, climbing onto the tricycle one after another and sitting side by side on the cushions on both sides.
There were four people sitting on one side and three people sitting on the other side, and there was an empty seat for Yao Meilan.
"Then let's walk!"
When Li Guoqiang saw that they were all seated, he first shouted, then slowly pedaled and rode the tricycle out of Xiangmi Zhai.
Although there are eight people sitting in the car now, this weight is nothing to him.
If he wasn't worried about going too fast and scaring people, he could even make the tricycle fly.
However, Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others were not very clear about this.
When they saw Li Guoqiang pedaling so slowly, they thought he was exerting himself too much and for a moment they couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
However, no matter how distressed they were, there was nothing they could do but keep Li Guoqiang's hard work in mind and try to be more obedient and sensible in the future so as not to worry Li Guoqiang too much.
After pedaling for a while, they finally returned to the courtyard smoothly.
Since the threshold of the courtyard was a bit high, Li Guoqiang first asked Luo Huijuan and others to get off the car and enter the courtyard. Then he took down a few wooden boards that had been prepared in advance from the car and placed them on the threshold. Only then did he push the tricycle into the courtyard.
In fact, if it wasn't so inconvenient, he could just wave his hand and use the small space to put the tricycle from outside the yard into his own yard. Why would he need to go through so much trouble?
Just when he put the tricycle away, Luo Guofu came over from the gatehouse with Zhao Qiuyan, looking nonchalant. When he saw the tricycle that had been modified very fashionably, he was stunned for a moment.
Afterwards, the words that Yao Meilan had taught him before suddenly echoed in Luo Guofu's mind, making him feel a little depressed all of a sudden.
He knew that under such circumstances, he would never be able to catch up with Li Guoqiang in this lifetime.
Fortunately, he was not the kind of person who couldn't bear to see his brothers doing well. In addition, he didn't have any big ambitions. He just wanted to find a few more concubines to enjoy life. So he quickly adjusted his mood, walked forward with a playful smile, and said:
"Brother, you are so awesome! You just got a bicycle a few days ago, and now you got a tricycle. If you keep going like this, everyone in our family will have a car!"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the two modified cushions, then asked in surprise, "Brother, are your cushions made of leather?"
"Look at you, such a loser!"
Hearing this, Li Guoqiang rolled his eyes and said with some disdain: "Have you forgotten that I was able to catch a giant tiger and a blind bear last year? This little bit of fur is nothing!"
