Chapter 237 Sister Darong, is Qi Guang still alive?
When Zhou Dewang and his friends left, they left the house in a mess.
Dong Huiru picked a relatively clean house and put her luggage in with Zhang Xiuying. They planned to clean the other rooms tomorrow.
While the two were cleaning the house, Zhou Chuanyi pulled Zhou Rong outside and praised her in a low voice, "You are worthy of being my daughter from Zhoujiawan. You are always thinking about the village and you know that we are in trouble, so you brought the experts here.
The materials you gave me seem easy to use, but doing it yourself is not the right approach at all. We don't know how to graft or anything like that, and we're afraid of killing the fruit trees, so we dare not even start.
This expert came at the perfect time. With her guidance, our fruit trees will surely have a good harvest when they bear fruit!"
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Uncle, this colleague Zhang is not the expert I knew before, but she is as good as that expert. If she hadn't accompanied her husband to the countryside, we in Zhoujiawan would not have been able to get such a great bargain.
They need to stay in the village for a long time, so you have to take good care of them, otherwise they will apply for transfer and there will be no one to guide us in planting fruit trees and increasing grain production."
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Chuanyi asked quietly: "Tell me what they did wrong, so I can know the answer."
Zhou Rong: "Teacher Dong is the director of the teaching department of Jiangcheng University. One of his colleagues was labeled a reactionary because he said a few radical words.
Teacher Dong felt that there was no problem with the other party's character and that what he said was purely a slip of the tongue. He went to help defend himself, but was accused of being in the same group and forming an identity called Y faction, which was stated in his letter of introduction.
His wife, Comrade Zhang, was not given a status, and she followed him to the countryside because she felt sorry for her husband.
Zhou Chuanyi held his chin in his hand, thinking: "If you say so, Teacher Dong is a good person. I have a good idea in my mind. Don't worry, I will take good care of them in Zhoujiawan and won't let them have any accidents."
Zhou Rong: "I feel relieved with my uncle's protection. On the train, I told Comrade Zhang about our village's demonstration base. She is willing to guide us in planting fruit trees. You can take her to the orchard tomorrow. If you have any questions, you can ask her."
Zhou Chuanyi: "Good! You are really the lucky star of our village. Not only did you give us ideas on how to make money, but you also helped us get great experts.
You stay in the village for one more day. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the ancestral hall to burn incense and let the ancestors see my good daughter from Zhoujiawan!"
Zhoujiawan believes in the old rules that daughters-in-law and daughters are not allowed to burn incense to their ancestors, and are not allowed to visit the graves and worship their ancestors on Qingming Festival.
Zhou Rong asked with a smile: "Will this break the rules?"
Zhou Chuanyi said firmly, "No! Some time ago, the village distributed the money from selling early rice, and each family only received a dozen yuan. After discussing with your uncle Chuanjing, I also divided the profits of the vegetable store in the past few months. Guess how much each family got?"
Zhou Rong often heard Shen Xiaomei and her friends talk about how good the business was and how there were always not enough vegetables to sell. She estimated the profits of the four shops and said in amazement, "More than 20 yuan?"
Zhou Chuanyi shook his head and said proudly: "The families with less work points got 30 yuan, and the families with more work points got 60 yuan!
This does not include the game and cured meat they caught themselves. I heard that some families have saved more than 100 yuan so far!
This was unthinkable in the past. Recently, many families in the village have come to me to approve land for building new houses, preparing to get married by the end of the year.
Before seeing the benefits, everyone was somewhat skeptical. I was worried that someone would gossip about us behind our backs, so I didn't dare tell anyone that it was you who came up with the idea of the demonstration village. I only told them the truth after I got the money.
You don’t know how grateful you are to those people who earn less than ten dollars a year.
Forget about burning incense to the ancestors. If you want to run for village chief with me, I doubt they will vote for you!"
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "You are the most intelligent and generous village chief I have ever met. Zhoujiawan is what it is today because of your dedication and hard work. The little things I have done cannot be compared with your contribution."
Zhou Chuanyi was very pleased to hear this flattery and laughed, "You educated kids are good at talking.
Come on, go to my house and sit for a while. I'll ask your aunt to make you some chicken soup."
Before leaving, Zhou Chuanyi also asked Dong Huiru and Zhang Xiuying to come to his house for dinner later, and said that the village would give the two of them a month's food rations tomorrow.
From now on, the food rations will be determined according to the work points of the two people. If the work points are not enough, they have to pay for it or buy it on credit...
Zhou Chuanyi's wife Du Juan greeted Zhou Rong warmly as soon as she saw him, "Darong is back! Come in and sit down. Jiaxing, pour the tea quickly and remember to add sugar!"
Zhou Jiaxing, who had just folded the family's clothes, brought Zhou Rong a cup of sugar water with a wronged look: "Sister Darong, please have some tea."
Zhou Rong looked at Zhou Jiaxing, who had lost a lot of weight, and almost didn't recognize him. He was quite different from the impression she had of the little devil.
"Thank you, Jiaxing is becoming more and more sensible."
Zhou Jiaxing muttered quietly: "I don't want this kind of sensible, just like a slave."
Zhou Chuanyi glanced at Zhou Jiaxing and said, "What are you mumbling about? Speak louder."
Zhou Jiaxing: "...I said you are the best adoptive father in the world. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Zhou Rong: “…”
Zhou Chuanyi: "...You stinky boy, you have no conscience! Your sister Darong rarely comes home, go and boil some water, your mother will kill a chicken and make soup for your sister Darong."
Zhou Jiaxing didn't dare to disobey Zhou Chuanyi's words, and went to the kitchen to boil water in a depressed mood...
Some villagers came to Zhou Chuanyi to discuss something. Zhou Rong felt embarrassed to sit in the lobby alone, so he went to the kitchen to help.
Seeing that his parents were busy outside, Zhou Jiaxing came to Zhou Rong and asked quietly, "Sister Darong, is Qi Guang still alive?"
Zhou Rong: "??? Of course! Why are you asking?"
Zhou Jiaxing: "My dad said that Qi Guang is good at all kinds of housework, and the food he cooks is as delicious as a chef. How much work does he have to do to master his skills so well? If he doesn't die, he will be disabled, right?!"
Zhou Rong: "...It's not that serious, he's fine now."
Zhou Jiaxing stretched out his hands and said sadly: "I don't believe it, look at my hands, they are full of calluses, but until now, I still haven't learned how to cook. My father said that if I can't learn it, I will starve for seven days.
Back then, Qi Guang and I were just like each other, needing others to serve us when we needed clothes and food. I never imagined that we were both abandoned by our biological parents. Oh, and Tianci, he was also an unwanted child.
The three of us are helpless and have no choice but to work hard to survive in our adoptive father's home. How can this world not give people a way to survive?"
Zhou Rong: "...You are so young, don't always talk like an adult. Your father asked you to learn housework for your own good. When you grow up, you will understand his painstaking efforts."
Zhou Jiaxing: "With the treatment I'm receiving now, I'm afraid I won't be able to grow up."
Zhou Rong: “…”
