Chapter 425 Paradise
"without!"
"I didn't hear anything, I was just a little worried!"
Xu Guangfu shook his head, then spoke with a serious expression.
"What do you mean?"
When Li Guoqiang saw Xu Guangfu's expression, he went over Xu Guangfu's words in his mind, and vaguely understood something in his heart. Then he pretended to be a little confused and spoke.
Although he had already guessed what Xu Guangfu meant, he still had to give this cheap father-in-law some face.
"Humph!"
Hearing this, Xu Guangfu snorted, then raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "Don't you understand this?
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat!
I had never thought that our brigade’s apiary and Xiangmi Zhai could make so much money.
You know, this goes to everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, who received several hundred dollars!
This kind of thing, let alone in the countryside, even in the city, is unique in the country!
So, just wait and see. Before long, once the news spreads, our team will become the focus of attention of the commune, county, city, province, and even the capital.
By then, every little thing will be carefully examined.
In this case, do you think you can still keep the affair between you and Yingzi secret?"
Having said that, Xu Guangfu looked at Li Guoqiang deeply, with pride, admiration, and a hint of worry in his eyes.
In fact, he had not just thought of this problem, but had been thinking about it for several days.
Moreover, if he had not been promoted to the county and gained more experience, he would not have such keen cognition now.
If he had known this would happen, he would have definitely asked the Jinshanbao Brigade to retain most of the dividends and deposit them in the bank to earn interest, and only distribute a small portion of the dividends to the villagers.
This will not only help the villagers improve their lives, but also avoid the shock and trouble caused by the news spreading.
It’s a pity that the money has already been divided up.
The only thing we can do is to try to make up for it and cover up some things that are prone to failure.
At this time, Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Guangfu's eyes and did not speak immediately, but frowned slightly.
Facts have proved that ginger is still spicy.
Originally, he thought that Xu Guangfu was worried that with so many beautiful girls around him, it would easily arouse jealousy over time and cause some unnecessary trouble.
As a result, he did not expect that Xu Guangfu would think so long-term and so deeply.
You have to know that at that time, the channels and technology for information dissemination were not very developed. If something wanted to cause a sensation on a large scale, it either required instructions from high-level officials or a long period of fermentation time.
Therefore, he didn't think so much about it before, and by the time the news spread, the winter had already passed.
By that time, he had already taken Luo Huijuan and others to a villa in the mountains to give birth, so he didn't have to worry about being found.
If it really doesn't work, he can take Luo Huijuan and others directly to Hong Kong or Southeast Asia.
However, that is an option that will only be chosen as a last resort.
Under normal circumstances, he certainly hopes to be able to live happily with Luo Huijuan and others at the current pace of life.
Then again, because some things were difficult for him to explain to Xu Guangfu, it was still very necessary for him to find a way to deal with them.
So, after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the county town tomorrow to buy tickets and take them all back to the city."
"Ok!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Guangfu nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right. If you let them stay here, it will only bring you some unnecessary trouble. It's better to let them go back to the city.
In that case, even if someone from above comes to investigate, it won’t be a big problem.”
"I see!"
When Li Guoqiang heard what Xu Guangfu said, he immediately spoke with a look of agreement on his face.
Although with his ability, he doesn't need to care so much, but it is better to have less trouble.
What's more, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others are all pregnant and need a relaxed and comfortable environment to recuperate.
Nowadays in this village, the villagers’ eyes are everywhere. If you want to do something, you have to pay attention to the impact. It is really tiring.
In this case, it would be better to let them pretend to leave and then move to a villa in the mountains. This way they can live more easily and comfortably.
As for Luo Huijuan, she already knew his biggest secret, so she could just stay and let him stay with her until the baby was born.
Soon, he got up and said goodbye and returned home, telling Luo Huijuan and Shang Xiuzhen about the matter.
When Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others heard this, they nodded and agreed without saying a word.
They even think this is better than the current situation.
On the one hand, it was because there were many people in the village and they felt uncomfortable. On the other hand, there were two little girls, Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani, at home, so no matter what they did or said, they had to pay attention to the impact.
Li Guoqiang couldn't help feeling satisfied when he saw that everyone agreed so readily.
Then, he struck while the iron was hot and used teleportation to find the flattest and easiest road in the mountains, leading directly to the villa deep in the mountains.
After all, he didn't want more people to know his biggest secret unless it was necessary.
After this task was completed, the sky gradually darkened.
Just as he was sitting on the kang in the west room with Luo Huijuan and others to have dinner, Xu Yuchang, Ma Hongjun and Sun Jinda, who had heard the news, suddenly came to the door.
"Hey! Why are you coming to my place when you're not at home with your wives?"
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately smiled and joked.
Perhaps it is because their wives all came from the city, and they have been closely accompanying their wives these days, which made many villagers envious and amused.
"Hey! Look at what you said. You are our chief shopkeeper. What's so strange about us coming here?"
When Xu Yuchang heard this, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he hurriedly smiled and began to explain.
After hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Sun Jinda immediately nodded in agreement.
"okay!"
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang didn't want to tease anymore. He just waved his hand and said, "Don't play tricks on me here. If you have something to say, just say it directly!"
"hey-hey!"
Xu Yuchang laughed, then hurried forward and asked, "Well, Qiangzi, I heard that you plan to let Xiuzhen and Qiaoyan go back to Sijiu City in the next few days?" "That's right!"
Li Guoqiang nodded, then explained softly, "As you know, they are both pregnant now, and they are really bored staying in the house all day, so it's better for them to go back to the city and reunite with their families, and then return to the store after the spring."
"Oh!"
Xu Yuchang and the others immediately realized what was going on when they heard this, and then nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, they are pregnant now, so it is better for them to return to the city earlier."
After saying this, they glanced at Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and the others, and couldn't help feeling a little envious.
As employees of Xiangmi Zhai and loyal subordinates of Li Guoqiang, even if Li Guoqiang did not say it explicitly, they could guess the true relationship between Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others and Li Guoqiang.
However, since Li Guoqiang didn't say anything, they didn't dare to ask so many questions.
Originally, they thought that something had happened, which caused Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others to return to Sijiu City early.
Now that they know nothing is wrong, they feel relieved.
Soon, they said goodbye and left, each returning to their own homes to be with their own wives.
Then, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
That morning, Li Guoqiang got up early, then drove a sled, carrying Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, and quietly left Jinshanbao.
Afterwards, they did not go to the county town, but instead circled outside the village and turned into the mountains from a valley.
Since it was the coldest time of the year, most of the shrubs in the mountains were covered with snow, causing the gaps between the trees to become much wider.
It was because of this that Li Guoqiang was able to find a mountain path that could accommodate the large sled, so that Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others would not have to get off the sled and walk.
They walked slowly along the way, and by noon, they had successfully completed most of the journey.
Seeing that it was getting late and the sika deer was a little tired, Li Guoqiang immediately decided to stop and rest and eat something.
They continued on their journey only after they had filled their stomachs.
"Hey, Qiangzi, where are you taking us?"
As she walked, Shang Xiuzhen looked at the big trees and snow all over the mountains, as well as the rolling mountain ranges, and finally couldn't help but ask with some confusion.
After all, they had already been walking for most of the day, and based on the distance they had walked, they had already walked dozens of kilometers.
It was hard for her to imagine who could live so far away in the mountains.
Although she was not worried that Li Guoqiang would sell them out, she still couldn't understand why.
Not to mention, the information Li Guoqiang had revealed to them before was that there were three large blue brick and tile houses deep in the mountains.
With such a long distance, it would be difficult to build three large brick and tile houses, let alone a mud and thatched house.
So, she really couldn't believe it.
After hearing her words, Pan Qiaoyan, Shen Fengxia and others looked at Li Guoqiang with some confusion.
If they had not been conquered by Li Guoqiang's outstanding performance in the past, they would have probably started to question it long ago.
"Where?"
Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he laughed and said: "Didn't I tell you before! The place we are going to now is a paradise. There is not only a big yard, but also three big blue brick and tile houses, which is enough for you to live happily and freely for a while.
Moreover, there are generators in those three large brick and tile houses, which can allow you to use electric lights and radios.
Apart from being a little quiet, there is nothing else to complain about.”
"Is it really that good? There's electricity? Are you kidding us?"
When Shang Xiuzhen heard what Li Guoqiang said, a look of doubt immediately appeared on her face.
After all, what Li Guoqiang said was too mysterious.
If there are three large tiled houses, then that is a little possible.
But if you say there is electricity, that's just a joke!
You know, even in the old city, there are still some places without electricity!
What's more, this is deep in the mountains and forests.
How is this possible?
"that is!"
When Pan Qiaoyan heard Shang Xiuzhen's words, she immediately questioned, "Brother Qiangzi, you are exaggerating."
"Ah!"
Seeing them like this, Li Guoqiang felt a little happy in his heart, and then he didn't want to explain, but just said calmly: "Whether it is true or not, you will know when we get there."
In fact, if he had not come from the future, and if the villa in the mountains had not been built by himself, he would probably not have believed that in the deep mountains and old forests, there would be three large blue brick and tile houses that were more outstanding than those in the city.
It's just like the ancient people would never have dreamed that there would be a car in the world that could move without being pulled by horses.
After hearing what Li Guoqiang said, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others were still confused, but they did not continue to ask questions. They just waited until they arrived at the destination to see for themselves whether it was true or not.
If this is fake, then it's fine. Just think of it as a joke that Li Guoqiang played on them.
And if it is true, it is undoubtedly very good news for them.
At least, they will live in a large brick and tile house with electric lights, and they will feel much more secure.
They walked slowly along the way, and soon they had climbed over several hills one after another, and were more than ten kilometers away from Jinshan Fort.
Just when Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others were gradually losing their patience, the sika deer pulled the sled and crossed another hill.
Then, Li Guoqiang suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at the winding stream at the foot of the mountain and the three courtyards beside the stream, and said softly: "Look, we're here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others hurriedly turned their heads to look where Li Guoqiang pointed, and soon saw three large blue brick and tile houses standing in one of the courtyards.
This made them all feel a little surprised for a moment, and they even wondered if they had seen it wrong.
After they rubbed their eyes and made sure they were not dazzled, they immediately couldn't help but burst into words of praise.
"This is so amazing!"
“This house, how was this house built?”
"Yes! Look, this house is more beautiful than the houses in the city!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there is such a house in a place like this. It's simply a paradise!"

Xu Guangfu shook his head, then spoke with a serious expression.
