Chapter 73 The Head of the House

"No, no!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then quickly waved his hand and politely declined, "I am a junior, how can I sit on the kang?"

"What happened to the junior?"

Qu Yinfeng glared, then said with a determined look: "Don't forget, the old man handed this house to you before he died. If you don't sit on the kang, who will sit on the kang?"

"This"

Li Guoqiang looked at Qu Yinfeng's face, who was determined to achieve her goal, and thought of Xu Guangshan's last words. In the end, he couldn't persuade Qu Yinfeng and silently moved his butt to the kang.

"now it's right!"

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng nodded with satisfaction, and then said with finality: "From now on, you will be the head of the family, and you have the final say in our family!"

"No, please don't say that!"

Li Guoqiang's heart tightened, and he quickly said humbly: "I think we should discuss and handle any matters together in the future. Besides, I am young and ignorant. If there is anything I am not considerate of, I will trouble you to give me some suggestions."

"Haha! Okay, then it's up to you!"

When Qu Yinfeng saw that Li Guoqiang did not refuse to be the head of the family and still respected her so much, she couldn't help but reveal a relieved and relaxed smile on her face.

"Great! Big brother is in charge! Big brother is in charge!"

At this moment, Xu Dani suddenly clapped her hands and cheered.

Although she is young, she can understand what it means for Li Guoqiang to be the head of the family.

This means that from now on, Li Guoqiang is the head of their family and her greatest support.

No matter what happens to her in the future, there will be someone standing behind her to protect her, and she will no longer have to worry about being bullied.

At this moment in her heart, Li Guoqiang's figure instantly filled the gap left by Xu Guangshan, making her confused and helpless little heart suddenly and completely calm down.

"Look how happy I am!"

Seeing Xu Dani's happy expression, Qu Yinfeng couldn't help but threatened her in a bad mood, "If you don't obey me in the future, I'll let Qiangzi beat you with a stick. Let's see if you can still laugh then."

"Forehead"

Hearing this, Xu Dani was stunned for a moment, then her eyes rolled, and she quickly said with a flattering smile: "Hehe! I'm so well behaved, that's why big brother couldn't bear to beat me with a stick!"

After saying this, she looked at Li Guoqiang secretly, fearing that Li Guoqiang would really beat her with a stick in the future.

"okay!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang was slightly amused, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't say nice things to me here. If you don't listen to your grandma in the future, don't blame me for really hitting you with a stick. Remember?"

"Remember, I will listen to grandma from now on!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang was speaking so seriously, Xu Dani did not dare to act rashly for a moment and nodded quickly and agreed.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded slightly, then turned to look at Qu Yinfeng and greeted her softly, "Auntie, let's eat first!"

After saying this, he waited for Qu Yinfeng to pick up the chopsticks before he started eating with his bowl.

After dinner, Qu Yinfeng first cleaned up the dishes and then boiled a large pot of hot water for Li Guoqiang to wash thoroughly to get rid of the bad luck.

After Li Guoqiang finished washing, she was busy washing Xu Dani, and then washing herself, and she also changed all her clothes.

Fortunately, their family still had plenty of old clothes, otherwise they would have no way to change all their clothes. Not long after, Xu Dani, who had washed her quilt clean, took her own quilt to the north kang and placed it next to Li Guoqiang's quilt.

Then, without waiting for Li Guoqiang to say anything, she took Qu Yinfeng's quilt and placed it next to hers, then began to explain to Li Guoqiang.

"Big brother, grandma said that no one can sleep on the south kang for the time being, so she asked me to bring the quilt over."

"That's it!"

Li Guoqiang nodded in realization, then said hastily, "Then let Auntie sleep on the kang!"

After saying that, he swapped Qu Yinfeng's quilt with his own.

By the time Qu Yinfeng came in after finishing her work, he had already crawled into bed and lay down.

When Qu Yinfeng saw this situation, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and the sadness in her heart faded a lot without her noticing.

Nothing happened that night. As Li Guoqiang silently practiced the health-preserving breathing method, it was the next morning in the blink of an eye.

Before dawn, Qu Yinfeng had already gotten up and was busy in front of the stove.

After breakfast was ready, she went into the inner room to wake up Li Guoqiang and Xu Dani, and brought a basin of hot water for Li Guoqiang and Xu Dani to wash.

Then, when Li Guoqiang and Xu Dani finished washing up, she had already brought the steaming hot breakfast to the kang table, so that Li Guoqiang and Xu Dani could have a bite of hot food without getting off the kang.

Li Guoqiang crossed his legs on the kang, drinking sweet cornmeal porridge with sugar, eating soft and sticky roasted potatoes, and occasionally taking a bite of the pork and sauerkraut leftover from last night. The feeling was so comfortable.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, Qu Yinfeng hurriedly cleaned up the dishes, then asked Li Guoqiang and Xu Dani to wear thicker clothes, and then went to prepare a pot of hot water and a few steamed buns made of two-grain flour.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Guoqiang first took care of his personal hygiene, and then practiced the True Five Animals Technique ten times in the yard, gaining 0.1 points of physique, 0.1 points of strength, 0.01 points of spirit, and 10 points of skill experience.

Afterwards, he went back to the house to rest for a while, and then he and Qu Yinfeng, pulled Xu Dani on a sled to the brigade warehouse next to the village threshing ground.

Along the way, they met many villagers who were also out for winter fishing, and also saw Zhang Chunyan, Zhao Dabao, Chen Jianjun and three of his friends who lived relatively close to him in the crowd.

However, when they saw him, they did not take the initiative to come forward and say hello. Instead, they seemed to be avoiding him.

Although only people with the surname Xu in the village participated in Xu Guangshan's funeral, they still heard a lot of voices saying that Xu Dani had finally killed Xu Guangshan.

In the situation where three people make a tiger, they couldn't help but have some concerns about Li Guoqiang, worrying that if they got too close to Li Guoqiang, they would be affected negatively.

Li Guoqiang also understood their little thoughts. While he was annoyed, he couldn't help but consider whether he should continue to serve as the leader of the educated youth production group.

Originally, the reason why he agreed to take the position of team leader was that he wanted to use it to have a greater say in the educated youth group, so as to prevent some people from using chicken feathers as a token of authority in front of him.

However, now that Xu Guangshan has passed away, there is no way to shut the villagers up in a short period of time, so there is no need to hold on to this thankless position of team leader.

However, he cannot take the initiative to bring this up. He has to find an opportunity and do it accordingly.

Thinking of this, we had already arrived at the brigade warehouse.

The villagers were divided into two large groups based on families, production groups and production teams. They kept talking about interesting things about winter fishing in previous years and burst into laughter from time to time. It looked like a lively scene.

The accountants of the two production teams were busy counting the number of people working in order to record the work points for the members.

Soon after, all the cadres of the brigade arrived, and then, led by Xu Guangfu, stood in front of the crowd, ready to start this year's Xiaohewan winter fishing activities.

"Cough cough!"

Xu Guangfu first glanced at everyone, then cleared his throat and asked loudly, "Is everyone here?"
