Chapter 111 The two of them got on Zhou Yong's pirate ship
Wei Guoan recognized Zhou Yong only when he opened his mouth.
After inspecting the goods and determining the prices of the herbs one by one, and the payment and goods were settled, Zhou Yong drove the carriage to find Li Hongjun.
After taking off his disguise, Zhou Yong hurried to the Agricultural Bureau to meet up with everyone, while Li Hongjun drove the carriage back home.
The moment Chen Pingliang saw Zhou Yong, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Captain Zhou, I heard that you had a stomachache? Are you feeling better now?"
Zhou Yong came to Chen Pingliang with a smile, and the two started chatting and laughing.
The delivery went smoothly this time. After settling the bill, Zhou Yong and his men rushed back without stopping.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when they entered the village. Zhou Yong went home to have a meal and then went to the brigade.
Sun Qing and Li Hongjun were stunned for a moment when they learned that the medicinal materials were sold for more than 400 yuan more on the black market.
This was just the amount Zhou Yong reported on the surface. He secretly put more than a thousand yuan into his pocket.
"Captain, the price of medicinal herbs varies too much, doesn't it? If we sell all the herbs on the black market, wouldn't we be able to make more money?"
Zhou Yong glanced at Sun Qing, who was naive. "Don't you know what the black market is? It's okay to go there once or twice, but if you go there all the time, people will target you..."
If he drove a horse-drawn carriage to the black market to sell medicinal herbs, he would definitely be targeted even if he went there once, let alone occasionally.
Sun Qing's expression became slightly unnatural. He scratched his head and said, "Captain, you are right. I didn't think things through."
Zhou Yong looked at Sun Qing who was almost fooled by him, and observed three seconds of silence for him in his heart.
"Captain, what are you doing?"
Zhou Yong put twenty yuan in front of each of them and said, "This is your hard work fee..."
Only when there is interest can they be comrades in the same trench.
Sun Qing looked at the twenty yuan that Zhou Yong placed in front of him, and his heart was beating fast.
Li Hongjun received Zhou Yong's hint, he kept his eyes on the door, reached out to pick up the twenty yuan in front of him and put it into his pocket. Upon seeing this, Sun Qing put the money away.
Zhou Yong lowered his voice and said some words to win people's hearts, and almost fooled Li Hongjun and Sun Qing.
He shouted slogans for all the villagers in Huaixi Village, but he didn't know that everything he did was for himself.
Li Hongjun and Sun Qing, who were unaware of the truth, were deeply moved, and they both wholeheartedly boarded Zhou Yong's pirate ship.
After depositing the money into the account, Li Hongjun used the radio to notify the villagers to come to the brigade to collect the money tomorrow.
After finishing these things, it was time to get off work, and Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun left the brigade together.
When they came out of the brigade, they met Cao Biao and Xing Laoqi. The four of them chatted for a while and then went back home.
When Zhou Yong got home, Li Caiyun was sitting on a small stool making a fire, and Zhang Guifang was cooking in an apron.
"Why did you come back by yourself? Where's your father?"
"Mom, my dad is with the four blasting comrades!"
Ever since these four people came to Huaixi Village, Li Baotian rarely went home for dinner.
Zhang Guifang was cooking and muttered, "What's there to accompany me?"
Having said that, after all, they are comrades sent by their superiors to assist in the work of their village, and as the village chief, he should treat them well.
Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun looked at each other and smiled silently.
Zhang Guifang is just like that. She always complains about things she doesn't like.
Zhou Yong returned to the west room with a smile, hid his private money, and then went to fetch water leisurely.
It was cooking time and many people came to fetch water. Zhou Yong's arrival made the scene very lively. Some people even gave up their place in the queue to fetch water to him in order to curry favor with him.
When faced with such people, Zhou Yong would politely refuse with a smile. After all, his family was not in urgent need of water, so there was no need to cut in line and avoid being criticized.
Zhou Yong fetched water twice and dinner was ready at home.
Stewed green beans with oil is a home-cooked cold dish, and the staple food is two kinds of rice.
After dinner, they cleaned up the stove, took off her apron, washed her hands and went out. Li Caiyun took out two backpacks from the warehouse.
"Xiaoyun, what are you doing with the backpack?"
Li Caiyun cleaned the dust off the backpack, lowered her head and said with a smile: "My mother and I are going to the mountains to collect mountain products tomorrow..."
Picking mountain products?
Zhou Yong frowned as he listened: "You are pregnant, don't go up the mountain, tell me what you want to eat..."
Li Caiyun looked up at Zhou Yong who was concerned about her: "I don't want to eat anything, I just want to exercise..."
Pregnant women need to exercise more to help with childbirth. Li Caiyun was afraid that Zhou Yong didn't understand this, so she started talking about it incessantly.
Zhou Yong looked at his young wife's mouth opening and closing, and he smiled softly.
Li Caiyun stopped talking abruptly: "What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Yong suppressed his smile and said, "There are many ways to exercise. There is no need to go up the mountain to collect mountain products..."
Li Caiyun was certainly aware of this. She had her own little thoughts on why she chose to go up the mountain to collect products.
Although the family has a savings of 2,000 yuan, this money is not enough for their family to live a worry-free life, so she wants to pick mountain products and sell them.
Zhou Yong looked at Li Caiyun, whose eyes were shining and who kept trying to persuade him, and raised his hand to pinch her face.
"I promise you, I won't stumble up the mountain."
Zhou Yong put down his hand, and with a doting tone, he patiently persuaded his young wife: "Now there is no mountain product to be collected near the West Mountain and the North Mountain. If you want to collect mountain products, you have to go deep into the mountains. How can I be at ease if you go so far? Be obedient and take good care of your pregnancy at home..."
Li Caiyun pinched the front of her clothes with both hands and pulled them a few times: "I promise you, I will be safe, just let me go!"
Zhou Yong looked at the persistent Li Caiyun, staring at her straightly, successfully making her feel uneasy.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
The smile on Zhou Yong's face gradually disappeared, and his tone was very calm: "Tell me, why did you insist on going up the mountain?"
Li Caiyun bit her lip and glanced at Zhou Yong's face from time to time. She knew that she had made him unhappy. She said with a bit of grievance: "Didn't I want to go up the mountain to collect mountain products and sell them for money? Otherwise, do you think I want to go up the mountain..."
Everyone knows that it's good to stay at home and enjoy life, but the problem is that life is inseparable from food, clothing, housing and transportation. If she does nothing, it won't be like that in the long run.
Besides, who would complain about having too much money?
After hearing what his young wife said, Zhou Yong felt a moment of self-blame.
It seems that I haven't done well enough, otherwise Li Caiyun wouldn't have the idea of making money to support the family.
Zhou Yong's mouth was tight, and he held Li Caiyun's hand: "Xiaoyun, I promise you that I will make sure you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Li Caiyun nodded with a smile: "I believe you. But Zhou Yong, have you ever thought about it? After we have a child, the expenses will increase day by day. It will be very difficult to expect you to earn money to support the family alone..."
Zhou Yong looked at Li Caiyun who was gradually speaking out her true feelings, and his heart was in turmoil.
Li Caiyun just wanted to save more money while she was young so that she wouldn't have to struggle for money when she got old.
In other words, she didn't want the burden of life in the future to fall on Zhou Yong. As the mistress of the family, she should support the family together with her husband.
Zhou Yong felt mixed emotions and he laughed quietly for no apparent reason.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Yong laughed at his arrogance, but even more so at his naive ideas.
He thought he knew Li Caiyun very well, but the truth was that he didn't know his young wife.
