Chapter 349: Difficult to Have Both
"You keep trying to cause trouble. I packed the dishes for your mother and then went to help my brother. How could I not care about my friends as you said? If you do something bad again, be careful that I will tell your mother about it and let her deal with you." Li Haoran threatened.
"Haha, Dad, I helped you entertain your friends but you didn't appreciate it. You are the one who doesn't know how to appreciate a good person. I'm not afraid of you complaining. Mom will definitely help me and not you." Yike continued to talk nonsense.
"Ziyi, are you ready? Stop dawdling." Li Haoran had no choice but to say to Ziyi.
"Yike, take it, let's go." Ziyi handed Yike the plate with the dishes. Yike stuck out her tongue at Ziyi mischievously and said to Wang Guoqing, "Uncle Wang, we'll go first. They'll pay the bill."
She said to Li Haoran in a rage, "Dad, remember to pay Uncle Wang, haha!"
"Go, go, Ziyi, take your wife away quickly, bring your mother's dishes over, and I'll marry yours too, really." Li Haoran handed Zhang Yuling's plate to Ziyi and drove him away like a fly.
Yike walked away happily with Wang Guoqing and Ziyi. Before leaving, Yi Ke deliberately said, "Dad, thank you for paying for us."
Li Haoran glared and went to pay the bill.
(Note: As mentioned above, food and accommodation are included. Each person gets one portion. Meals are purchased with a meal card. The card has the date and three meals written on it. Each meal has a check mark. If you want to eat more or treat others, you have to pay for it.)
Yi Ke returned to the dining table. Zhang Yuling looked at her and said with a smile, "Did you deliberately anger your father again?"
"Mom, how dare I do that? Please don't accuse me." Yi Ke refused to admit it.
"No, I saw your father glaring at you when I went to get the food. Only you can make your father glare at you." Zhang Yuling glanced at Yi Ke and gave the prepared rice to Wang Guoqing, along with a bowl of soup.
"Brother Wang, there's nothing good in the canteen. We'll cook for you at home tonight, and keep it simple for lunch. You see, Haoran is a stubborn person. He only showed you around in the morning, and he probably didn't even think of serving you tea. Come, have some soup first."
Li Haoran came back after paying the bill and just happened to hear what his wife said. He sat down next to her with a guilty conscience.
In the morning, he really didn't seem to ask Wang Guoqing to drink some water, as if he was not thirsty. No, it was not a question of thirsty or not, but he already knew what it was.
No wonder Yi Ke said those words on purpose. He had been in the mountains for too long and had forgotten all the social etiquette he had learned when doing business with his elder brother.
After Li Haoran figured it out, a smile that he usually has in the business world naturally appeared on his face. The cold and hard face like Ziyi's before was like melting ice and snow, but this smile brought sincerity and warmth that was not found in the business world.
Ziyi and Yike couldn't help but smile knowingly, thinking at the same time: "This is what it was like to follow Ziyi's father to build a kingdom. From now on, Beishan Village will let his father lead the members to become rich."
In the afternoon, Wang Guoqing did not go for the tour. He told Li Haoran the purpose of going into the mountains and also told him that the commune was going to let Li Haoran be the team leader and the secretary would retire. Li Haoran called Ziyi and Yike, and brought Wang Guoqing, and the four of them went to Li Haoran's office to discuss the matter.
In the office, Wang Guoqing recounted in detail what the village cadres had decided after the meeting, and also what the secretary had said and done. The main thing was that these things could not be concealed, and sooner or later Ziyi and the others would find out.
After Wang Guoqing finished speaking, he looked at Li Haoran and the other two nervously, especially Yi Ke. Yi Ke had been wronged by the secretary in the past. Although the secretary had retired, who knew if Yi Ke would hold a grudge against everyone because of this.
After visiting the breeding farms and the planting farms, he realized more deeply the importance of learning, because those techniques can be taught. I heard that Ziyi is in charge of sales, but if nothing is produced, what can be sold? So he now believes that Yi Ke is the most important and most important one.
But if you could hear what Wang Guoqing was thinking, you would definitely sneer. Although she is a girl who likes to hold grudges, she will not blame others blindly. She still understands the principle that everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions.
Ziyi was the first to ask a question: "Uncle Wang, are you sure the secretary is really retiring? He won't interfere in the affairs of the village anymore? And you are going to take his place?"
"Yes, the commune secretary has already talked to me. Originally, the team leader was to be selected by the village, but you donated three cows at once, and the commune didn't know how to reward you. The secretary is about to retire, so he moved my position. To be honest, I still benefited from you." Wang Guoqing said.
Finally, Wang Guoqing said affirmatively, "In the future, the secretary will definitely not be able to interfere in the affairs of the village. Now the cadres are very united and are looking forward to your family leading everyone to prosperity. Although I am the secretary in name only, I will definitely cooperate with you in your work. I know my own strengths and weaknesses, so in the future work arrangements in the village, I will stand on your side. As long as I can lead everyone to live a good life, I can take on some bad responsibilities when necessary."
"Uncle Wang, what is the responsibility for something bad? Can there be anything bad?" Yi Ke asked, pretending not to understand.
“Well, let me give you an example. The village wants to raise chickens. If it fails, like other villages in the past, they will eat the grain but fail to raise chickens and make no money from selling them. The members will definitely complain, and the commune will also criticize or punish them. I will take all the responsibilities, and it has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, if it succeeds, the credit will be yours, and I will help you to ask for credit from the commune.” Wang Guoqing worked hard for the whole village to live a good life.
I couldn't help but think of a song called "Only by Hard Work Can You Win": "30% is determined by fate and 70% depends on hard work. Only by hard work can you win."
Ziyi asked Li Haoran: "Dad, do you want to be the captain?"
"Isn't this a question of whether or not to do it? It's a question of whether or not to have time. There are so many things going on in the mountains. If I become the team leader, I will have to stay outside every day. There are so many things going on in the mountains, and there are not enough manpower. No, I can't just ignore the things in the mountains." Li Haoran thought about how he couldn't answer many of the questions Wang Guoqing asked him in the morning, so he refused without thinking.
Wang Guoqing was dumbfounded. He thought that Ziyi and Yike would be the most difficult to persuade, but he didn't expect that Li Haoran would be the first to oppose, and what he gave was such a nonsensical reason.
"Dad, it seems that our household registration is outside. I think you can't refuse the commune secretary with this reason." Yi Ke reminded kindly.
Li Haoran glared at Yike fiercely. Ziyi was unhappy, "Dad, Yike is not the one who can register for the household registration."
"I know, can't we just not bring up the subject?" Li Haoran was already regretting it to death, and now he was bringing up old wounds.
Yi Ke comforted him, "Dad, it's a good thing now that your household registration has been approved. Now you don't have to be so cautious whether you go to the county town or the town. How great. It has always been difficult to have both!"
