Chapter 132 The world is changing and I want to make them disappear forever
Li Ran hurriedly looked away, picked up the tea and took a big sip.
However, the drink, which was already too sweet for him, seemed to be deliberately working against him, causing his throat to feel a burning pain and he couldn't help but cough violently.
"Why are you drinking so quickly?" Luo Ping hurriedly patted his back to help him calm down.
The noise attracted the children's attention and Li Ran blushed.
Luo Ping found it funny and said softly, "Children, drink slowly in the future, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable like your brother."
"Got it, teacher." The children responded at the top of their voices as if they were still in class.
Li Ran blushed instantly, lowered his head and whispered, "Teacher!"
"Li Zhiqing, you don't need to be shy. Everyone will forget it soon." Zhang Wenxin teased.
This little episode made Li Ran feel more down-to-earth, and others echoed him.
Together with Zhang Haiyan and the members of the fishing team, more than a dozen people were talking to each other, which made him bury his head even lower.
Fortunately, this topic did not last long and was quickly covered up by the children's active performance.
Li Ran quietly raised his head and looked in the direction of Yu Zhile, but found that her eyes were unfocused, as if her mind was empty, or as if she was recalling something.
"Le Le, what time will you go to see Brother Hu San tomorrow?" Zhang Wenxin's voice brought her back to reality.
Yu Zhile looked puzzled: "Huh?"
Zhang Wenxin repeated the question.
"Around eight o'clock." Yu Zhile replied.
At that moment just now, she suddenly thought of the afternoon when Zhou Yuesheng brought ice cubes to the market, and then more and more scenes flashed through her mind.
Yu Zhile took a deep breath and stored each scene deep in his memory, when he suddenly received a bear hug from Zhang Wenxin.
She didn't say anything and just held him for half a minute before letting go.
"Thank you." Yu Zhile smiled at her.
Only Li Ran noticed the interaction between the two. He stared at them for a while with a thoughtful expression.
On the other side, Chen Zhao clapped his hands vigorously and continued to encourage the children to boldly read out the knowledge they had just learned.
The sight of the children showing no fear of the stage moved their mother deeply.
As they laughed and chatted, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone said goodbye and left one after another, and the courtyard gradually became quiet.
The Chens and the other two had fish balls and fish rolls for dinner. After the food was served, Yu Zhile and the other three left the courtyard.
On the way, several people talked about what Jiang Shangqing was going to do, and Chen Zhao suddenly slapped his head.
"Sister, remember to wait for Jiang Shangqing tonight. He said he will come to you after he gets the money." He suddenly remembered this.
Zhang Wenxin was a little confused: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"He has to go to Huaxi Village to dig a fish pond early tomorrow morning. He will probably have to stay there for a long time." Chen Zhao explained.
Yu Zhile responded: "Okay, I'll wait for him in the yard."
Afterwards, the four of them separated at the intersection, and Chen Zhao followed her home for dinner.
When the two returned home, Yu Yue had just brought the last dish to the table and they were ready to eat.
"Aunt, the food you cook is really delicious." Chen Zhao has eaten it many times, but he still can't help but sigh, "It's even more delicious this time."
Yu Wanqin smiled and said, "All the dishes tonight were made by Xiao Yue on the spot."
Chen Zhao was not surprised. He had taught Yu Yue for a few months and had already witnessed Yu Yue's extraordinary learning ability.
"It must be my aunt's good teaching. You should eat more." Chen Zhao grinned.
"You should eat more too." Yu Wanqin stood up and served him some food, piling his bowl like a small mountain. "Dr. Hu was so busy before, but he still found time to teach Xiao Yue acupuncture."
"Thank you." Fang Zhuo added another chopstick to the mountain of vegetables.
In the past two days, his condition has gradually returned to the level before the injury, and he can occasionally feel the heat in his legs. He feels that Dr. Hu's secret recipe passed down from ancestors has played a big role.
Chen Zhao had never heard his grandmother mention this matter. He looked at Yu Yue and asked him about it, but Yu Yue urged him to eat, so he tactfully did not ask any further questions.
After dinner, Chen Zhao helped to clear the table and wash the dishes as usual, and returned to the cowshed after finishing his work.
Yu Zhile and his friends were reading books, making medicinal soup for foot bath, and doing their own things. The pace of their lives was no different from usual.
Soon, it was break time and Yu Zhile was the only one left in the hospital. She continued to sort out the progress of various plans and update the to-do list.
About half an hour later, the door of the courtyard made a slight creaking sound several times in succession.
"All the money is here." Jiang Shangqing lowered his voice and handed over a cloth bag.
Yu Zhile couldn't help but weigh them. The weight of three hundred Great Unity notes was heavy.
Then, she reached in the direction of Jiang Shangqing and handed him a note.
The candlelight was dim, and Jiang Shangqing mistook it for money and refused, saying, "No need to pay, just consider it as repaying Haibian for saving my life."
"Moore and Papa are enough." Yu Zhile responded, her hand still suspended in mid-air, "No, I am friends with the captain of Huaxi Village."
The conversation ended there. Jiang Shangqing understood, took the note, turned around and left.
The next morning, a series of wailing sounds broke the tranquility of the village center, attracting everyone to hold their bowls and watch.
"My money is gone! Who stole my money?"
"Thief, a thief broke into the village last night!"
"Me too, it's all gone, all my money is gone."
Six men ran out of their yard, confirmed with each other that what they lost was the 500 yuan they had received yesterday, and then sat down on the ground with dejected looks on their faces.
After they got the money back, they found a place only they knew to hide the money, and made sure the money was still there before going to bed.
When the onlookers heard what they said, they became extremely anxious and quickly ran back home to check their savings.
After checking around, everyone discovered that only six of them had lost money, which they found strange.
Yesterday, six people took sick leave together, and today they lost money together. I wonder if they have offended someone.
"How much money was lost?"
"Where did you go yesterday?"
Everyone asked at once, but they were deliberately vague and evasive.
Zhang Ping and others followed Yu Zhile's instructions and pretended to be about to cry, ignoring any questions from others.
"Go find the branch secretary and the team leader and ask them to report to the police." Someone suggested loudly.
The six people immediately jumped up from the ground and hurriedly stopped him: "No, no, we can just go to the police station ourselves."
Their abnormal appearance made everyone even more puzzled, but they couldn't explain it and just dispersed silently.
Soon, there were only six families left in the small clearing.
"Could it be that guy who stole it?" Zhang Ping's man asked in a low voice, shrinking his neck.
Another man said angrily, "It must be him. No wonder he was so quick to give the money. It turns out he has a trick up his sleeve."
"Let's go and settle the score with them!" Yu Feng's man suggested.
The six men nodded in agreement, and without bothering to ask for leave or care about their wives and children, they grabbed their sticks and walked angrily towards the village entrance.
Only after seeing their backs turn into small black dots did Yu Zhile walk out from behind the tree.
"It's time to go, are you ready?" she asked.
Zhang Ping and the others shook off their cowardly expressions and said confidently in unison, "We are ready. We will definitely pass the test."
The children had never seen their mother like this. Their eyes widened, they clapped their hands, and their faces turned red with excitement.
"Xiaoyu, take your brothers and sisters to the clinic." Yu Zhile looked at the little girl, "As long as everyone behaves well, you will have candy tonight."
"Sugar, sugar!" the children cheered.
Xiaoyu saluted her and said loudly: "I promise to complete the task."
At this time, Ge Tai drove a ox cart closer, and Zhang Wenxin asked everyone to get on the cart.
Xiaoyu and a group of little kids waved and watched their mothers go to their battlefield. Zhang Ping and the other six people in the car showed relieved expressions.
Perhaps the group of men took a shortcut, so Yu Zhile and his companions did not encounter them and arrived at Haidong Town smoothly.
Yu Zhile asked Zhang Wenxin to take them to the state-owned hotel first, and then went to the armed forces department alone to find Ning Tan.
"I checked. Deputy Director Xu is very careful in his work. I couldn't find any evidence that he framed Li Ruxin." Ning Tan reported the results of the investigation. "However, things have changed drastically at the cannery."
The old lecherous factory director who was parachuted in was dismissed because of his bad lifestyle, and the higher-ups transferred someone from the county to take the position. The new factory director was an upright person, so Deputy Factory Director Xu could only keep a low profile, and Li Ruxin was successfully promoted to deputy factory director.
Yu Zhile nodded. The development trend of this situation was beneficial to Haiyu Village. At least they had enough time to establish a supplementary food group.
"I want to make them disappear forever." She told Ning Tan about the six people.
Ning Tan was stunned by the calm tone for a few seconds, and then he joked, "No wonder Brother Guang always says that you are like him. Your personality is exactly the same as his."
"Don't they look exactly the same?" Yu Zhile casually responded to what Yu Haiguang had said.
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere between them changed subtly.
Ning Tan brought the topic back on track: "There is a quarry over in Huaxi Village. I can arrange for them to go in and pay them a unified salary at the end of the month."
"Okay, give the money to their ex-wives." Yu Zhile said.
Afterwards, she called Yu Peilan and told her that Fang Zhuo would return to the provincial capital later. The aunt and niece chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone.
"Yu Zhile." Ning Tan suddenly called out to the person who was about to push the door open and leave.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zhile turned to look at him, "Is there anything else?"
Ning Tan glanced at the telegram in the half-open drawer, hesitated to speak, and finally just told her to have a good rest.
When she left, he placed the two telegrams on the table.
There was a letter from Zhou Yuesheng, with only five words in it - vindicated, being pursued.
The other letter was just received today, from their former political commissars, Zhou Yuesheng and Yu Haiguang, who had lost contact during the pursuit.
On the other side, Yu Zhile felt puzzled, but his thoughts were interrupted by Hu Shuang's greeting.
"Knowing that you guys are here to taste the food today, I specially asked Master for leave." Hu Shuang grinned, "I'll try to be the first person in Haidong Town to taste the food."
Yu Zhile joked, "If it doesn't taste good, wouldn't it be a waste of our engineer Hu's precious time?"
"Yes, it has to be delicious, otherwise." Hu Shuang made a threatening expression.
The two of them came to the state-owned restaurant chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.
The store, which should have been empty at this time of year, was actually full of people, including Jiang Rong.
