Chapter 342 You are so smart
"Row!"

At this time, Sun Maocai, Ma Changshun and others also realized that Li Guoqiang was unwilling to reveal his true feelings in front of so many people.

Therefore, after hearing Xu Guangfu's words, they nodded and agreed.

However, when they left, they couldn't help but glare at Li Guoqiang, thinking that Li Guoqiang was too cautious.

Let's not talk about whether there are traitors among them.
No!

Could it be that there really is one among them?
Thinking of this, Ma Changshun, Xu Guanglu and others couldn't help but look at Sun Maocai, the one who looked most like a traitor among them.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

Sun Maocai noticed the looks from other people and immediately couldn't help but start complaining.

In fact, he had wanted to be a traitor before, but before he had the chance to find someone to cooperate with, people from above had already come.

Moreover, those leaders didn't take him seriously at all, and no one even wanted to talk to him.

In this way, even if he really has an idea, he won’t have the chance!
"without!"

"nothing!"

When Ma Changshun, Xu Guanglu and others heard Sun Maocai's words, they hurriedly shook their heads and said something in reply, then turned around and left Li Guoqiang's house.

Soon, Li Guoqiang and Xu Guangfu were the only ones left in the room.

"okay!"

Xu Guangfu slowly exhaled a puff of his pipe, then glanced at Li Guoqiang and said unhappily, "Now there are no outsiders except the two of us, so you should at least tell me the truth, right?"

"say what?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then asked knowingly.

"Tell me what you think about the county-run bee farm!"

Xu Guangfu's eyes narrowed, and then he spoke in a deep voice.

"this."

Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Guangfu's desperate look, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Uncle Fu, to be honest with you, I really don't have any idea about this matter.

After all, the county is now planning to set up a bee farm, which is not actually a bad thing for everyone. At most, it will only increase future income, and there won’t be much room for improvement.

The most important thing is the Xiangmi Zhai in Sijiu City. As long as Xiangmi Zhai is still in our hands, we don’t have to worry so much.”

"That"

Xu Guangfu was slightly stunned, then quickly asked: "Do you think the leaders above will let us hand in Xiang Mi Zhai?"

"You shouldn't ask me this question, you should ask yourself."

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then answered softly.

"How do you say this?"

Xu Guangfu frowned, then asked with some confusion.

"if."

Li Guoqiang straightened his expression, and then asked in a serious tone: "You are the leader above, so would you have any thoughts about Xiangmi Zhai?"

After these words were spoken, Xu Guangfu fell silent for a moment.

Because he knew that as long as the leaders above were not stupid, they would definitely have ideas about Xiangmi Zhai.

After all, to put it bluntly, as long as you can control Xiangmi Zhai, then even if you don’t control the apiary, you can still purchase honey and make money.

To put it bluntly, today Xiangmi Zhai is a hen that will lay eggs as soon as it is picked up, while a bee farm is a hen that needs to be fed diligently before it will lay eggs.

It goes without saying which one is better and more valuable.

So, there is no need to ask this question at all, you can already know the answer.

After a moment of silence, Xu Guangfu took a deep puff of his pipe, then said with a serious expression: "So what will you do then?"

"do not know!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head and told the truth: "Things haven't developed to that point yet. I don't know what I will do when the time comes."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Guangfu did not ask any further questions, but just nodded silently in response.

In fact, even if Li Guoqiang didn't say it, based on his understanding of Li Guoqiang, he could roughly guess that if things were really like that, Li Guoqiang would probably just give up.

As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

This is especially true for someone as capable as Li Guoqiang.

In addition, as far as he knew, the higher-ups were planning to let a so-called expert take over the management of the county-run apiary, and before he officially took office, he had already asked Jinshanbao to send more than a dozen boxes of bees to be used as training materials.

You know, beehives are generally placed in the mountains, and the environment in the county town is not suitable. How can it be used to train people in beekeeping techniques?
Isn't the most correct approach to bring people to the apiary in Jinshanbao for on-site training?
Therefore, from this point of view, we can know that this so-called expert is here just to gild himself and reap the fruits.

With a idiot like this in charge, it goes without saying how bad things will end up.

Thinking of this, Xu Guangfu's heart felt a little cold.

"correct!"

When Li Guoqiang saw Xu Guangfu like this, he had an idea, and then he smiled and said hurriedly: "Uncle Fu, I have a great news to tell you, Sister Ying is pregnant!"

"Really?"

When Xu Guangfu heard this, he was shocked, and then asked with surprise on his face.

"real!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then smiled softly and replied, "I have taken her to the hospital for a check-up before, and it is confirmed that she is really pregnant."

"Great!"

When Xu Guangfu heard this, he couldn't help but cheer.

Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Hospital? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up? What did you tell the doctor?"

"Don't worry about that!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this question, he immediately understood what Xu Guangfu was worried about, and hurriedly spoke to comfort him: "Before this, I had asked someone to help Sister Ying get a marriage certificate. As long as no one takes the marriage certificate to compare, there won't be any problems."

"That's good, that's good!"

Xu Guangfu felt relieved, then he laughed and praised: "I knew you were a reliable guy."

"Yeah!" Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then said softly: "According to the time calculation, Sister Ying's due date is probably in April next year. At that time, it will be the beginning of spring here, so I plan to bring her back here to nurture the baby when winter comes."

"Okay!"

When Xu Guangfu heard this arrangement, he nodded without thinking and agreed, "Let her live at home and let your mother help take care of her. Your mother has served your sister-in-law and others several times before, so there will definitely be nothing wrong!"

After saying this, a look of great anticipation appeared on his face.

As the saying goes, love the house and the bird.

Ever since Xu Yuying was born, he has loved this little girl the most. Now that Xu Yuping is about to give birth to a child, he will naturally transfer his love to his grandson who has not yet met him.

If he hadn't been worried that Li Guoqiang would have objected, he would probably have wanted to just keep his grandson at home and raise him.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang was relieved to see Xu Guangfu agreed so readily, and then he said quickly: "I will give you some food and meat when the time comes, and I won't make it difficult for you."

"Hey!"

Xu Guangfu glared at him, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "Look at what you said, Yingzi is my daughter. Life was so difficult before, but I was able to raise her to this age. Now that life is better, can I still give her less food?"

"no!"

Li Guoqiang waved his hand, and then explained seriously: "That's not what I meant. I just don't want to make things difficult for you. After all, Sister Ying has followed me now, and the rules should still be followed.

Besides, you are not the only one in your family, there are also my brother and sister-in-law!"

"so what?"

When Xu Guangfu heard this, his expression froze for a moment, and then he said stubbornly: "Don't forget, I am still the boss at home. If they dare to say no, I will beat them up!"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, and then he said with a laugh: "I know you are the boss at home, but you have to give me a chance to fulfill my responsibilities, right?"

"Alright, alright!"

Xu Guangfu saw Li Guoqiang handing over the ladder, and hurriedly waved his hand, then took advantage of the situation and said unhappily: "I know you are a capable guy and you don't lack food. If someone else spoke to me like this, I would have smashed this pipe on his head."

After saying this, he took a puff of his pipe with some satisfaction, secretly feeling proud of his original decision.

Although she could only be a concubine if she followed Li Guoqiang, it was much better than letting Xu Yuping be an old aunt.

If he hadn't done this, he wouldn't know when he would be able to hold his grandson.

What's more, with Li Guoqiang's ability, Xu Yuping's life will not be difficult, and she may even live better than others!

As he was thinking, he suddenly thought of the matter of the county-run bee farm. His expression slowly returned to its initial solemnity, and then he asked in a deep voice: "Hey, you kid, are you really planning to hand over Xiangmi Zhai to someone else? If so, won't you and Yingzi have to come back here to suffer again?"

"will not!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head, and then said confidently: "If that's the case, I will find a formal job for Sister Ying in the city and let her transfer her household registration to the city."

At this point, he saw that Xu Guangfu was still somewhat skeptical, so he stepped forward and told him that the executive deputy district mayor of Dongcheng District in Sijiu City was his uncle.

When Xu Guangfu heard this, he immediately felt relieved, and then he patted Li Guoqiang on the shoulder with appreciation.

As expected, he is the young man he has chosen. This path is indeed big and broad enough.

Since there is an executive deputy district chief to protect Sijiu City, there is no need for him to worry so much.

In addition, he also understood why Li Guoqiang was able to make Xiangmi Zhai flourish in such a short period of time without encountering any major problems.

It turns out that all this is because there is a powerful backer behind him.

Moreover, thinking more deeply, he felt that the so-called expert had better not have any bad intentions towards Xiangmi Zhai. Otherwise, with the backer behind Li Guoqiang, he would be in big trouble.

"Uncle Fu!"

Li Guoqiang looked at the joy on Xu Guangfu's face, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to speak out his thoughts.

"Actually, you don't need to worry so much. In my opinion, this may be a good opportunity."

"what chance?"

Xu Guangfu was slightly stunned, then asked with some confusion.

"You think so!"

Li Guoqiang's expression straightened, and then he explained seriously: "Just over half a year ago, every household in our brigade could barely fill their stomachs after working hard in the fields for a year.

Now, each of them can get more than 100 yuan, which is almost enough to match the work points earned in a year.

This will easily lead them to develop a habit of being lazy and gluttonous, or even to brag about it to others and cause trouble.

If we can take this opportunity to let everyone know that this income is hard-earned, wouldn’t that be a good thing?”

After hearing these words, Xu Guangfu immediately understood what Li Guoqiang meant.

Even combined with the backers mentioned earlier, he could guess that Li Guoqiang might also want to take this opportunity to increase his voice and importance.

After figuring it out, he finally put his uneasy heart at ease. He pointed at Li Guoqiang and scolded him with a smile, "You, you are such a shrewd kid. I really worried about you for nothing."

"hey-hey!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang just smiled and didn't explain too much.

After all, there are many things that no one can predict until they develop to that point.

Just like he has a backer, it may be possible for others to find a more powerful backer.

However, what he relied on from the beginning to the end was not a backer, but the supply of lemons.

You know, most of the lemons grown in China these days are exported. If there are no better channels, ordinary people will not be able to buy enough lemons on a regular basis.

If there is no lemon, can it still be called honey lemon tea?
What's more, even if the other party has the ability to solve the lemon supply problem, there is ultimately no way for him to make the same amount of profit as him.

If the profit is less, the villagers' income will naturally be less. How can they then make money and reap the fruits of their labor?
Moreover, even though the real money-making place is in Xiangmi Zhai, the most important thing is the construction of the apiary.

Let’s not talk about beekeeping for now. There are too many things that need to be paid attention to. Just finding wild beehives from the mountains, taking them back to domesticate them, and expanding the scale of the apiary is something that not everyone can do.

If the scale of the apiary cannot be expanded quickly, is there any need for other production brigades to set up one?

Don’t let the time come when the honey produced throughout the year is not enough to pay one worker’s salary.

There is even the possibility that all the bees will be killed.

Then the joke is really big.
