Chapter 105 Is it wrong for me to care about my daughter?
Zhou Ling gradually lowered her head, and Zhou Yong was too lazy to talk about those things: "Go back, don't come to my house if you have nothing to do. And tell your mother to have some dignity and pay back the money she owes us as soon as possible..."
Li Caiyun bit her lip as she looked at Zhou Yong who was in a rage. Zhang Guifang pulled the bewildered Zhou Ling out of the house.
Zhou Yong was depressed and frowned: "They are all spineless people."
Li Caiyun got off the ground and pulled Zhou Yong's arm: "Don't be angry."
How could he not be angry?
Zhou Yong took a deep breath to calm his depressed mood.
Li Caiyun pulled him to sit down and whispered softly, "Why are you back?"
Zhou Yong rubbed his face and said, "I'm going out this afternoon, and it will probably take a few days for me to come back..."
He received the notice half an hour ago, arranged the work at hand, and Zhou Yong went home without stopping to pack his clothes.
But he didn't expect that Zhou Ling would be so angry in his own home.
Upon hearing this, Li Caiyun hurriedly stood up to collect his clothes, and she also said: "Take care of yourself when you go out, and bring more money with you..."
Zhou Yong looked at his young wife and his depressed mood disappeared.
"Don't worry, I'm not a child."
Li Caiyun smiled and packed two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for him...
"You've brought too much. One set of clothes is enough. You can bring shoes or not."
In summer, clothes dry quickly after washing, so there is no need to bring too much stuff.
Li Caiyun said, "What if it rains?"
Zhou Yong smiled and nodded: "My wife is right, so I'll take them all."
Li Caiyun was very satisfied with Zhou Yong's attitude, and smiled as she put the items into her colorful triangular pocket.
"Here's fifty dollars. Is that enough for you? If not, I'll tell mom and she'll give you some more..."
Zhou Yong was only on a business trip to study, not going out shopping, so he rarely had places to spend money.
"I don't need that much money. Twenty dollars is enough for me."
Li Caiyun stuffed the bill into his hand: "Poor at home, but rich on the road, it's always a good idea to bring more money when you go out."
Zhou Yong smiled, thought about it and put the money into his pocket.
He found an excuse to send Li Caiyun out and took out another hundred yuan of pocket money.
Li Caiyun hurried to the garden and picked some cucumbers and tomatoes for Zhou Yong, washed them and put them in her pocket for him to eat on the way.
Zhang Guifang looked at Zhou Yong who was about to go out: "Can you wait a while before leaving? Mom will cook you some eggs and take them with you..."
Zhou Yong rejected his mother-in-law's kindness and left home with his things.
Only when Zhou Yong was out of sight did Li Caiyun reluctantly return to the house.
As soon as Zhou Yong left, Li Caiyun felt inexplicably empty in her heart. She lay alone in the west room for a while, but felt bored, so she went to the east room to sew shoe soles.
Zhang Guifang was busy outside for a while and then went into the house to talk to her daughter.
When it was time to cook, Li Caiyun was about to help light the fire, but was stopped by Zhang Guifang on the kang.
"Be obedient, I can do it myself, just take good care of your baby."
Li Caiyun looked at her mother and responded with a smile. Zhang Guifang hummed a little tune while making lunch.
When Li Baotian came back, he saw that his wife was in a good mood and asked in confusion: "Did you find money?"
Zhang Guifang said with a smile: "Set the table, we're going to eat."
Li Baotian picked up the kang table and walked out: "Where's Caiyun?"
Zhang Guifang smiled and said, "I asked you to put a table, why are you asking Caiyun?"
Li Baotian just asked casually and had no other meaning.
He carried the table into the house and saw Li Caiyun sitting on the kang in the east room sewing shoe soles!
"Girl, what happened to your mother?"
Li Caiyun was stunned and stopped sewing: "Dad, what happened to my mom?"
Li Baotian glanced at his daughter and felt that there was something abnormal between them.
"Nothing."
Li Caiyun said "oh", and Zhang Guifang called Li Baotian to bring the food into the house.
A small portion of egg cake was placed in front of Li Caiyun. Zhang Guifang said, "Caiyun, eat all of this egg cake."
"Mom, I can't eat so much."
Zhang Guifang served her daughter a bowl of egg cake without explanation. Li Baotian said, "The girl can't eat so much. Why are you forcing her to eat?"
Li Baotian's words were met with a roll of the eyes, and he immediately shut his mouth and ate obediently.
Zhang Guifang was eating and muttering: "Dad, see if anyone goes to the commune to bring some meat to our family..."
"Buy meat? It's not a festival, and no one is coming to the house, so why would you buy meat?"
Zhang Guifang glared at Li Baotian and said, "I want to eat meat, is that ok?"
Li Baotian nodded quickly: "Okay."
Zhang Guifang glared at him and said, "I've spent my whole life with you, and I've only been eating coarse food every day..."
Li Baotian ate his meal in silence, thinking that he was quite talkative. Why did he ask that question so many times?
Li Caiyun looked at her parents and smiled silently. She ate a small bowl of egg cake.
Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian didn't eat the remaining egg cake, so Li Caiyun served them each a small bowl.
"Mom and Dad, you guys eat it. The leftovers won't taste good if you reheat them."
The three of them finished their lunch chatting and laughing. After the meal, Li Caiyun wanted to go downstairs to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Zhang Guifang again.
"If you're not feeling well, just lie down. Mom will clean up the mess herself."
Li Baotian frowned: "Girl, are you feeling unwell? Have you been to the clinic?"
Zhang Guifang nodded, and Li Baotian asked about his daughter's condition.
"You ask everything. Aren't you annoying?"
Li Baotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is it wrong for me to care about my daughter?"
Zhang Guifang smiled and said, "It's just a minor problem. It will be fine after a few days of treatment."
Seeing this, Li Baotian didn't ask any more questions. He turned around, lay on the kang and stretched.
Zhang Guifang nagged him for a few words and cleaned up the dishes by herself.
After Zhang Guifang left, Li Baotian said, "The older your mother gets, the more she nags."
Li Caiyun smiled and replied, "Dad, don't blame my mom for nagging. It's really you who are too lazy."
Nowadays, slogans are shouted for gender equality, but most men rarely do housework at home.
We cannot say that all of them act like bosses. Some men at home don’t even know how to pick up a fallen soy sauce bottle, and instead find fault with women.
For someone like Li Baotian, being able to chop firewood, fetch water and sweep the yard at home is already very good. After all, he is the village chief and receives a salary and food allowance every month. It is only natural that he is superior to others at home.
Li Baotian glared and said, "You want to rebel, don't you?"
Li Caiyun giggled, and Li Baotian snorted, sat up and got off the ground.
At around 1:00 p.m., Li Baotian went to the brigade with his hands behind his back. Zhang Guifang went out for a stroll with nothing to do. Li Caiyun felt uncomfortable staying at home and had no work to do, so she went to Li Baoshan's house with her shoe soles.
Li Baoshan and his wife went up the mountain, leaving Li Caixia alone in the Li family.
"Caiyun, sit on the kang."
Li Caiyun took off her shoes and got on the kang. Li Caixia said listlessly, "Who did you make these shoes for?"
"Zhou Yong."
Who can she make shoes for?
In addition to Zhou Yong, there are Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang.
Li Caixia said "oh" and looked out the window.
"Sister Xia, what did you say about your matter?"
Li Caixia sighed quietly: "Big brother said to let them hang out for a few days before talking about it."
Li Caiyun nodded: "That's fine, otherwise you will be looked down upon if you go back immediately."
Li Caixia was just sent back to her parents' home yesterday. If she goes back again today, will her in-laws give her a good look?
Li Caixia understands that her family is doing this for her own good, but she is worried about her own children...
