The leader felt that there was no one in this world who didn't care about money. As long as enough money was given, Li Jiandong would be willing to cooperate with him one day.

After the leader was sent back, Li Jiandong and his team began to build an electric grid.

At the beginning, they pulled the locusts one field at a time. However, the locusts gradually became smarter and once they encountered an electric grid, they would bypass it and leave the next field. In this way, only half of the field could be saved.

Li Jiandong frowned, feeling that this was not going to work.

"Da Mao, find a way to get these power grids to where there are rice plants as quickly as possible."

Li Jiandong instructed his apprentice.

He knew that the only way to control the locust plague was to get the people together, and it was impossible for them alone to do it.

Xu Damao hurried to make arrangements, but due to lack of manpower, he was still very anxious.

Li Jiandong could only encourage people and get everyone to do it together.

"Fellow villagers, we need you to work with us to set up the power grid now, otherwise we will run out of time and won't be able to save all the remaining rice."

Li Jiandong said with great emotion.

"If we save too much rice, we will still be hungry next year."

At first, everyone was reluctant to join, but once they heard that they would starve, they all joined.

With everyone's joint efforts, the power grid was finally installed and the locusts were under control.

Li Jiandong saw locusts all over the rice field and thought that his family was in trouble.

It must have taken a lot of effort to cultivate these locusts. I really don't understand if this approach of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own is really right?

But now that the locusts have been controlled, it's time for me to go back and accompany Qin Huairu. It's been a while since Qin Huairu has been back to the courtyard alone.

I don’t know what happened to Banggeng and Yangjie?

There are still many things I care about, and I really can’t wait any longer.

"Chief Engineer Li, why are you leaving right after the problem was solved?"

The director of the Agriculture Bureau saw Li Jiandong was about to leave and quickly stopped him.

Li Jiandong smiled and said, "I've been out for too long. It's time for me to go back and spend some time with my wife."

"Madam? Isn't your wife in Hong Kong accompanying the children? Do you have a second wife?"

The director asked half-jokingly.

Li Jiandong shook his head helplessly, "My heart can't hold anyone else except Huairu, how can there be a second wife? When you asked me to come, Huairu had just returned from Hong Kong. You didn't know that he was always unhappy when I came. Now that it's over, I have to go back early and apologize for my crime."

Li Jiandong feels that his wife is the most important person to him at the moment, and he must go back to see her no matter what.

"Since you said so, then go back and apologize to Qin Huairu on my behalf."

The director of the Agriculture Bureau felt that it was wrong to leave the couple without each other's company for so long.
"Oh, that's not necessary. Our Qin Huairu is very conscious."

Li Jiandong said half-jokingly.

However, Qin Huairu is indeed a person with a high level of ideological awareness.

I have been particularly supportive of Li Jiandong's work over the years, otherwise Li Jiandong would not have achieved what he has today.

"Mission completed, reward 5 million RMB."

The system's voice sounded again.

Li Jiandong smiled. The rewards from this system were enough for the Li family to live on for several lifetimes.

When we returned to the courtyard, Qin Huairu was chatting with the second and third aunts.

"Brother Huaimin, why didn't you inform me when you came back?" Qin Huairu said with a smile when she saw Li Jiandong.

When Li Jiandong saw Qin Huairu again, he felt that she had become much prettier.

"I'm not doing this to give you a surprise."

Li Jiandong said with a smile, Qin Huairu blushed, "We are both an old married couple, what else is there to talk about?"

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back and cook."

Qin Huairu has to be said to be a typical good wife and mother.

"Huai Ru, now that your man is back, you don't even have time to chat."

The second aunt smiled faintly and mocked Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu smiled.

"You are still the same. When you see Lao Liu, you act like a mouse seeing a cat."

"That's right, Second Aunt, you also said Huairu, you are even more so."

The third aunt also followed Qin Huairu to ridicule the second aunt.

"Alright, alright, both of you stop talking about me."

"Everyone should go back to their homes and cook."

"The man in my family will come back and eat."

The second aunt said embarrassedly.

The women joked with each other and went home to cook.

"Brother Huaimin, you said you were so busy. I finally came back once, but you didn't stay with me for long."

Qin Huairu started acting coquettishly as soon as she entered the door.

"Hey, didn't I come back to accompany you? I didn't even attend the celebration party."

Li Jiandong smiled and teased his young wife.

"Okay, okay, I'll go make you some food first. But no matter what, you have to go shopping with me tomorrow."

When Qin Huairu was in Hong Kong, she often saw the couple going shopping together.

He wanted to be romantic, too.

"Then I will make time for you tomorrow."

Li Jiandong said with a smile.

I didn't expect that when I saw my wife again, I would find her so feminine.

Yesterday I was still thinking about what I would say to my wife when I saw her for the first time when I got home.

I didn't expect to be blamed. Since Qin Huairu wanted to be romantic, I would accompany her in romance. After all, I had been romantic many times during the Century.

After the two finished their meal, Qin Huairu and Li Jiandong snuggled up to each other and chatted together.

"Huai Ru, if one day I am gone, you must take good care of yourself. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't worry too much about them. Just take care of yourself."

Li Jiandong was very worried about Qin Huairu because he knew that Qin Huairu was a typical woman of this era. She would definitely think about her children in everything and didn't care about herself at all.

Qin Huairu felt that there was something wrong with what her husband said today.

"Brother Huaimin, what do you mean?"

Qin Huairu was very nervous. She had been dependent on her husband all her life and was used to it. She was afraid that it would be difficult for her to live alone.

"I'm just making some arrangements for you in advance."

"There are too many things in this world that we cannot control. I might be gone one day. If I am gone one day, the thing I will worry about most is you and your children. I am not worried at all."

Li Jiandong is indeed confident in his children. After all, each of them is very capable. Only Qin Huairu is not good enough. He has to rely on the children and likes to meddle in everything.

I'm afraid life won't be very happy then.

"Oh, Brother Huaimin, although I am much younger than you, my health is not as good as yours. I am afraid that I will die before you and no one will take care of you."

Qin Huairu was also worried about Li Jiandong. Although they had been apart for many years, Qin Huairu had been taking care of the children outside, and Li Jiandong also took good care of himself.

But if he gets older, I'm afraid Li Jiandong won't be able to take care of himself, and the children are very busy, so he might not even be able to have a hot meal by then.

"Hey, we are an old married couple. We should support each other and not say such tedious things." Li Jiandong felt that the more the two people talked, the more outrageous and sad they became. If they continued talking, Hai Bao ~ would probably burst into tears.

The two of them fell asleep quietly.

The next day, the two went shopping, arm in arm, just like first love.

Li Jiandong thought this feeling was good, and Qin Huairu enjoyed it even more.

"Oh, you two are an old married couple, and you still want to be romantic."

The second aunt said sourly.

"Huai Min and Huai Ru were very loving when they were young. This is really enviable."

The three aunts were very envious.

Li Jiandong smiled without saying anything. In fact, as long as Qin Huairu was happy, he would be happy.

"Brother Huaimin, I can't stay with you for too long. I still have to go back and take care of the children."

Qin Huairu suddenly said something in a downcast tone.

After all, in her heart, besides her husband, her children and grandchildren are also important.

He raised all his grandchildren himself, so it's natural that he would be worried after not being back for such a long time.

"I know what you are thinking, but your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them live on their own for a while." Li Jiandong tried to persuade his wife to stay.

"Brother Huaimin, I'm sorry, I still can't let them go, how about you come with me this time?"

Qin Huairu felt that their family was not short of money, and that it would be enough for the two old people to take care of the children and the grandchildren to be around."

Li Jiandong shook his head, he had his own ideas.

Now is not the time to go to Hong Kong, there are still many tasks to be done in North City.

"Huai Ru, how about this dress? Go and try it on."

Li Jiandong almost changed the topic.

"It is very beautiful, but I am so old, will people laugh at me if I wear it?"

Qin Huairu felt sorry.

"Our Huairu is the most beautiful. She looks good in anything she wears."

Li Jiandong is never stingy in praising his woman.

"Thank you, Brother Huaimin, you have always been good at coaxing me over the years."

Qin Huairu was very happy. She made the right choice in her life and married the right person. She would be happy all her life.

"Oh, you are my wife. In my heart you are the most beautiful. No one can compare to you."

Li Jiandong smiled and said, "He never denied Qin Huairu's beauty.
After shopping, Qin Huairu went back the next day.

Xiangjiang has a granddaughter waiting for him, and Qin Huairu is worried about his son and daughter-in-law taking care of his grandchildren.

Li Jiandong laughed and said Qin Huairu was destined to be a hard worker.

"Brother Huaimin, I will be a member of your Li family all my life. For your Li family, I am willing to dedicate my whole life."

Qin Huairu's words are righteous and awe-inspiring

Li Jiandong knew that he couldn't stop Qin Huairu, so he could only say nothing.

Just follow Qin Huairu's advice.

"Hey, I knew that Qin Huairu would not be able to stay here for too long. Hong Kong is so prosperous, how could he survive here?" Yan Fugui shook his head and said.

The third aunt also shook her head. "That's because the grandchildren of the Li family are very capable and filial, and they are willing to take care of mom."

That's true. Think about it, their children are not willing to come back at all, let alone take them over.

"It's such a failure. We didn't educate our children well." The third aunt suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did she make such a calculation at that time?
"No matter how those bastards scheme, I raised them. They are so ungrateful." Yan Fugui was very angry.

Because he was too excited, he couldn't breathe and fainted.

"Old Yan, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Don't scare me." The third aunt was very anxious.

No matter how they called, he couldn't be woken up, so the three aunts had to go out to find someone for help.

"Old Li, please come to our house quickly, please come to our house quickly to check on him. Old Yan seems to be dying. No matter how I call him, he won't wake up." The third aunt was very anxious.

She thought that she would live a lonely life in the future, her husband was gone and her son had not come back yet.

So the three aunts cried particularly sadly.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, let me go take a look, it may not be a problem."

Li Jiandong quickly comforted the three aunts.

"But I called him for a long time and he wouldn't wake up. I was really afraid that he had passed away." Our aunt said while crying.

Li Jiandong came to the third aunt's house and saw Yan Fugui lying motionless. He knew that his illness was very serious.

I'll find someone to take him to the hospital for a checkup.

Although I have certain medical skills, I still cannot be sure of the items that need to be checked.
"Thank you, Lao Li. I don't know what I would do without you."

The third aunt suddenly felt particularly envious of Qin Huairu for finding such a determined man.

"We've been neighbors for so many years, why are you still so polite? Send him to the hospital first."

People like Li Jiandong from the courtyard sent the third uncle to the hospital.

After examination, it was found that the third uncle had some common diseases that the elderly will suffer from.

"Old Yan, you've been calculating all your life and still got three highs. You have to be careful about your diet in the future." Li Jiandong teased Yan Fugui.

"Look, the older you get, the younger you become. Look at me, none of the parts of my body are working properly." Yan Fugui sometimes really envied Li Jiandong.

The two people are obviously of similar age, but the other person is very healthy while I am full of diseases.

What he couldn't understand the most was that after all his life of planning, his family conditions were still not as good as others.

"Old Yan, you are too calculating. If you calculate less, you will be younger."

Li Jiandong said with a smile
"Yes, from now on I won't be calculating like this. It's better to live life as it comes." Yan Fugui understood it too late. If he had understood it earlier, his child wouldn't be so far away from him.

Usually, they just give themselves some symbolic pocket money and retirement money, and never pay any attention to these parents again.

"If you had done this earlier, you would have been surrounded by children and grandchildren now, but it's not too late to realize it now." Li Jiandong shook his head and said to his old friend.

"Doctor Huaimin said that I have to stay in the hospital for a few more days, so I can't go to the cosmetics factory to keep an eye on it. You go and keep an eye on it." Yan Fugui said that he would no longer calculate, but he was still thinking about his business.

"You, you just said you would stop calculating, but now you are thinking about business. Don't worry, I'm here to take care of the cosmetics factory." Li Jiandong said helplessly.

Yan Fugui smiled and thought that maybe this was his fate.

I worry about my business and my money every day. I live my life for money.

"Okay, take good care of yourself. I'll come see you in the evening. I really need to go back to the factory to take a look."

Li Jiandong had indeed not been back to the factory for a long time.

As soon as I returned to the factory, I found out that a batch of cosmetics had been stolen.

"Li, you finally have a leader. I don't know why we lost a batch of cosmetics yesterday."

One of the responsible persons said directly after seeing Li Huaiming.

“How could the cosmetics be lost? Don’t we always give them to customers after they are produced?” Li Jiandong found it very strange.

"I don't know why our customers have cancelled their cooperation and our cosmetics have been lost one after another." The person in charge reported the situation to Li Jiandong.

"Then why didn't you call the police?" Li Jiandong found it very strange that it was impossible not to call the police about such a thing.

“Captain Jia went with you to rescue the locust plague. No one is taking care of this matter at all.” The supervisor said, feeling a little dizzy and tired.

After all, it's such a big thing, and as the factory director and the supervisor of the factory, I must be responsible.

"So the second and third uncles haven't come in all these days?"

Li Jiandong was particularly puzzled because his second and third uncles had not told him about this matter.

"Mr. Li, we are not afraid of you laughing at us. We all know the tempers of the Second and Third Uncles. We are really afraid that if we speak out about this matter, we will bear more responsibility. We really can't afford to pay for it, so we have been suppressing this matter."

The supervisor tells the truth.

"I understand you. It's true that the second and third uncles only care about their own interests. Once this happens, they will definitely ask you to pay compensation, and you will definitely not be able to afford it."

When Li Jiandong got home, he wanted to solve the problem when it happened instead of holding anyone responsible.

But the second and third uncles only knew how to hold people accountable and protect their own interests, so these people were afraid of them and didn't want to say anything.

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter. It has nothing to do with you."

Li Jiandong felt that the lost cosmetics must have been taken away by her previous cooperative users because of an insider.

This is why the customers we work with no longer purchase goods from the factory.

Because they got the goods from the factory at a very low price, there was no need to go to the factory to get the goods.
"I'm sorry, Chief Engineer Li, I am responsible for this matter. I know my salary for the next year is not enough to compensate you, but I just want to do my part." The supervisor lowered his head and was willing not to take any salary for a year.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Although you have a certain responsibility and did not take good care of the child, I cannot ask you to pay compensation. You are also from a small family and need to support your family."

Li Jiandong said with a smile.

There are indeed many people who are willing to work hard for a leader like this.

No one would be willing to work for leaders like the Second Uncle and the Third Uncle, because they only care about their own interests and are evil capitalists.

"That's right, I'll feel bad about it." If you frown, you feel that the whole thing is your responsibility.

"It has nothing to do with you. As our business grows, it's inevitable that there will be traitors in the factory. Call everyone together and we'll have a meeting." Li Jiandong said with a smile, not intending to blame the supervisor at all.

The supervisor was very grateful to Li Jiandong.

“I called everyone to this meeting today because a lot of cosmetics were lost in our factory. Every batch was lost, and the orders were also lost. It’s obvious that there’s a traitor among us.” Li Jiandong told the truth.

"I think the traitor is clear to himself."

"In the next period of time, everyone should supervise each other and make sure to find this traitor. Otherwise, the cosmetics factory will not be able to continue operating and you will have to find new jobs."

"The treatment you get in my cosmetics factory is something you won't find anywhere else."

"Does this traitor really want to cut off his own escape route?"

Every word Li Jiandong said was sharp.

Everyone kept their heads down and kept silent, making it impossible to tell who the traitor was.
