Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

Chapter 30



After returning home, He Qiang told Wu Shuhua that he had to get up early the next day.

Wu Shuhua said,"Where's the contract? Take it out and put it away. Don't lose it."

He Qiang handed the contract to Wu Shuhua, along with a receipt.

This was also stamped by Wu Youhua.

Although the money came from their team, the stamp was only available at the village level, so it had to be transferred from one person to another.

The remaining money would have to be handed over to the village, and then the village would transfer the money to the team.

""Dad, will you go with me tomorrow?"

Wu Shuhua was thinking about the agricultural expert again.

This business requires such a huge investment, and it concerns the fate of the whole family, so we can't be careless.

He Qiang doesn't care about any experts at all. No matter how awesome the expert is, can he be as awesome as him?

But he has to consider the feelings of his family, so he said:"Don't worry about this matter. After the contract is completed, it doesn't mean that we can use the fish pond immediately. We must drain the water and clean it up first."

Wu Shuhua was too concerned, and then he reacted.

After all, the fish pond in the village has been free-range, and it has never been properly managed.

Every year, water is drawn from the river to fill it, and at most some fish fry are scattered to let them reproduce freely, and then the water is released to catch fish when it is time to harvest. If the fish pond is really contracted by the family, it must not be done like this. There are some things in the fish pond that cannot be left.

"Then go to bed early. I'll make you breakfast tomorrow."

Wu Shuhua knew that the only thing she could do at this time was to ensure the logistics of her man.

"Just use the old duck soup. There are some leftovers tonight. If you don't eat them quickly, they will go bad."

He Qiang muttered,"I have to make money to buy a refrigerator."

Wu Shuhua said unhappily,"The village hasn't been electrified yet, let alone the team. What's the point of buying it?"

He Qiang said,"Electricity is a matter of time."

He remembered very clearly that the next year, with the encouragement of the chief designer, the whole country began to carry out construction in full swing.

Because of the capable Wu Youhua in their village, electricity was connected in 1980 and a dirt road was built.

And He Qiang also had some vague guesses, I'm afraid Wu Shuhua had a lot to do with this.

After all, before Wu Youhua was transferred, he had said some roundabout words to him.

Thinking of this, He Qiang was shocked again and hurriedly hugged Wu Shuhua.

He had to tie up his wife's heart, and he couldn't let her be taken back by her father-in-law like in the last life!

"What are you doing! The child is watching."

Wu Shuhua's face turned red when she saw her man suddenly hug her tightly in a mysterious way.

He Tiantian widened her dark eyes and said with dissatisfaction:"Dad, why do you only hug mommy, you also want to hug Niu Niu!"

"Hug them all, hug them all!"

He Qiang picked up He Tiantian with one hand and held Wu Shuhua with the other, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Shuhua keenly felt the emotional changes of her man, and the whole person became nervous. He clenched his hands with a slightly rough hand, trying to convey his feelings.

Although they are both still very young, they have been married for more than four years, and there is a tacit understanding between the young couple.

He Qiang felt Wu Shuhua's support, and whispered to the mother and daughter:"If one day you can go to the city to live a good life, will you go?"

Wu Shuhua's face changed, and the whole person suddenly became unhappy.

But before Wu Shuhua could speak, He Tiantian asked innocently:"Then Dad, will you go with us?"

"Dad may not be able to go."

He Qiang felt a little disappointed.

Only Wu Shuhua knew that this answer was inevitable.

After all, He Qiang asked whether they would go.

How could there be such a word that foreshadowed separation when the family was going together?

""He Qiang, what do you mean?"

Wu Shuhua's tone was very stiff, she was really angry.

Over the years, He Qiang had been doing whatever he wanted, and she had gotten through it all. Now that life was getting better, he was making trouble?

What do you mean, will she leave?

Who did he think of her, Wu Shuhua?

He Qiang hurriedly explained:"Don't be angry in a hurry! Mainly because I think that now that things have been put right, our dad will definitely be able to get his job back. Even if his position has changed, his rank will definitely remain the same. Isn't it normal for him to take you back then?"

Wu Shuhua's pretty face seemed a little distorted with excitement:"He Qiang, is this how you see me?"

He Tiantian was frightened by her mother. Her mouth pursed and she burst into tears.

""Be good, don't cry!"

He Qiang hurried to comfort the child.

Wu Shuhua's expression eased, but he was still angry. He broke free from He Qiang's arms and sat on the bed with his back to the bed.

"I'm just unsure! I don't think badly of you, it's just that I owe too much in the past, and I don't know if I can pay it back."

He Qiang leaned over and spoke softly to Wu Shuhua.

Wu Shuhua said angrily:"I haven't even asked you to settle the score, what are you afraid of? As long as you are well, I will not go anywhere in this life, wherever you are, there I will be."

Hearing this, He Qiang felt warm in his heart, and while coaxing his daughter, he pulled Wu Shuhua back into his arms

""It's enough to just hear you say that. Don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life, no worse than returning to the city!"

He Qiang promised arrogantly.

Wu Shuhua groaned,"You only know how to coax me all day long. You might fall into your old habits again someday. I was fooled by you at that time."

He Qiang said proudly,"You are the wife I deceived by my own ability. It's too late for you to regret it."

Wu Shuhua pinched He Qiang,"Okay, go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow."

He Tiantian was taken over by Wu Shuhua and fell asleep in a short while.

After putting He Tiantian in the crib, the couple hugged each other and talked for a while, and then fell asleep.

The next morning, He Qiang was woken up by Wu Shuhua. After breakfast, he carried a backpack loaded with large���The fish went to the village.

At daybreak, the tractor had already stopped at the entrance of the village.

He Qiang walked over, took out a sausage from his backpack and handed it over:"Uncle Wang, you must have been waiting for a long time." Wang Youcai looked at the sausage in his pocket and smiled from ear to ear:"I've only been here for a while, sit tight."

The truck bed was full of things that were to be sent to the county supply and marketing cooperative for recycling, or things collected from the village.

He Qiang climbed onto the truck bed, put the backpack in place, and said to Wang Youcai:"Uncle Wang, let's go!"

The tractor started, made a roar, and moved forward slowly.

They had to go through two and a half hours of mountain roads to reach the township, and then take the national highway to the county.

Because of the poor road conditions and the poor shock absorption of the truck bed, He Qiang's bones were almost broken along the way.

He had sat on it more than once, but still couldn't get used to this tractor.

Finally arriving at the county town, He Qiang hurriedly got off

""We'll leave at 3pm. Be on time. If you're late, you'll have to wait until I come next time."

Wang Youcai stressed to He Qiang.

He Qiang said indifferently,"It's okay. The village chief has given me a letter of introduction. If the time is up, I'll stay in a hotel."

Wang Youcai muttered,"What a waste of money." He

Qiang was well prepared for this trip. Not only did he have a letter of introduction, he also went to Wu Youhua to exchange food and meat coupons.

Even if he stayed in the county town for a few days, he would not have to worry about food and drink.

"OK, Uncle Wang, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go find someone here as well."

He Qiang waved goodbye to Wang Youcai.

Wang Youcai was going to the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative, while he was going to the county supply and marketing cooperative store to find someone there to lead the way to contact the buyer.
