Chapter 123 Guo Xiangqian visits the Li family with a smile
Before, Zhou Wenfeng and Lao Gao each used a cabinet. Since Lao Gao left, he has been occupying two cabinets by himself to store clothes.
Guo Xiangqian heard this and said with a smile: "In that case, I'll put my clothes in the suitcase!"
He was a kind person and easy to communicate with, but Zhou Wenfeng did not take it seriously and acted arrogantly, as if the two boxes were his personal property.
Zhou Yong glanced at Zhou Wenfeng's arrogant expression and felt quite speechless about what he had done.
"Comrade Zhou Wenfeng, you need to understand one thing. The boxes and cabinets are not your personal property. So now please vacate a box and cabinet for Secretary Guo to use..."
Zhou Yong's words made Zhou Wenfeng freeze instantly, and the embarrassment he felt was beyond words. However, who can be blamed for all this? After all, it was all his own fault.
Seeing this, Xu Yanmei, who had been silent all the time, hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. She pulled Zhou Wenfeng, who was standing still, and the two of them worked together to make room for a cabinet for Guo Xiangqian.
Zhou Yong stared at Zhou Wenfeng's aggrieved look, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he raised his eyebrows secretly, and thought: He is actually showing his displeasure to me?
Guo Xiangqian's clothes were put into the cabinet one by one, and the luggage was opened and folded neatly on the kang. After finishing these things, Zhou Yong called Zhou Wenfeng and Xu Yanmei to his side.
"Secretary Guo will live and eat with you from now on. Please take good care of him in his daily life..."
Xu Yanmei responded with a smile, and Zhou Wenfeng frowned: "Captain, you won't let us pay for Secretary Guo's rations, right?"
Zhou Yong frowned slightly, but Guo Xiangqian took over the topic with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I brought food coupons."
Zhou Wenfeng pouted: "It's useless to bring food coupons. What you should bring is food."
There is no grain station in Huaixi Village, so people have to go to the commune to purchase grain.
Guo Xiangqian ignored the matter and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I'll go to the commune grain station later."
Zhou Wenfeng glanced at Guo Xiangqian and said, "What time is it? By the time you get to the commune grain station, they will have been off work."
Guo Xiangqian's expression froze. Zhou Yong cleared his throat and said, "Officer Guo, the ration brigade will give you the food first. We can talk about other things later."
Zhou Wenfeng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhou Yong, and swallowed the words back.
After everything was arranged, Zhou Yong took Guo Xiangqian to the brigade.
There were flour and millet seeds in the small canteen, and Zhou Yong also gave some to Guo Xiangqian.
"Brother Zhou, you don't need to take too much food. I'll go to the commune grain station tomorrow..."
Zhou Yong responded, and the two chatted for a while, then Guo Xiangqian carried the food back to the educated youth’s residence.
After seeing Guo Xiangqian off, Zhou Yong returned to the office. Li Baotian and Accountant Sun looked at him in unison.
Zhou Yong took off the cotton hat on his head and put it on the table, then walked briskly to the stove.
"Have you arranged for Secretary Guo?"
Zhou Yong sat on a stool and stretched out his hands to warm himself by the fire: "Everything has been arranged."
Li Baotian nodded. Accountant Sun knocked his pipe against the corner of the table a few times, complaining in his tone: "I really don't know what the leaders are thinking. They actually sent a young boy to guard our village. I don't know what use he can play..."
Accountant Sun believed that if the work was arranged according to Guo Xiangqian's instructions, Huaixi Village would face a serious crisis and might even be destroyed. He felt that Guo Xiangqian's behavior was full of ignorance and childishness, which was worrying.
After listening to Accountant Sun's words, Zhou Yong chuckled softly, thinking that his words were a bit exaggerated.
Li Baotian frowned and narrowed his eyes: "In the future, we should try to avoid Secretary Guo when discussing things. We don't expect him to give us advice, we just hope he won't cause trouble for us..."
His words were recognized by Accountant Sun. Zhou Yong thought for a moment and took over the topic: "I think this is inappropriate. As a village cadre sent by the county leaders, if Secretary Guo can't say anything when reporting on his work, how will the leaders view us..."
Zhou Yong's words shocked Li Baotian and Accountant Sun, and they both realized the seriousness of the matter at the same time.
"Zhou Yong is right. We can't do that. But if we do that, we won't have a peaceful life..."
Zhou Yong glanced at Li Baotian who said this and said: "That may not be the case."
Accountant Sun and Li Baotian looked at Zhou Yong at the same time, and he talked about his feelings after interacting with Guo Xiangqian.
Leaving aside work matters, Zhou Yong felt that Guo Xiangqian was a very easy-going person, without any of the bad habits of rich kids.
Besides, they have just met and don’t know each other, so some things cannot be judged too arbitrarily.
Zhou Yong's words made Li Baotian and Accountant Sun nod their heads continuously. The three of them started a discussion around this topic, and the door of the office was suddenly opened.
The person who came was Li Caiyun. Zhou Yong looked at his young wife and said, "It's almost time to get off work. Why are you here?"
Li Caiyun, wearing a scarf and hand covers, came to the stove with her big belly.
"I just came back from Masanjia and came to see the brigade..."
When she had nothing to do, Li Caiyun went to Masanjia to visit and exchange experiences as a pregnant woman with Liu Juan.
Zhou Yong said "oh", Li Caiyun untied her scarf, took off her gloves and reached out to warm herself by the fire.
Accountant Sun looked at the time and saw that it was past two o'clock. He stood up and said, "Village Chief, I'm going home now if nothing else."
There is almost nothing to do in the team in winter, and everyone comes to work just to kill time.
Li Baotian responded: "Okay."
Accountant Sun went home with a smile on his face. Li Baotian sorted out the items on his desk and said, "Let's go home too!"
Li Caiyun had just arrived and her body hadn't warmed up yet. Zhou Yong said, "Dad, you go back first. We'll wait a while before leaving."
Li Baotian was stunned: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Zhou Yong was fine, he just wanted to keep Li Caiyun warm.
After hearing what his son-in-law said, Li Baotian's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a kind smile.
Li Caiyun felt a little embarrassed, but a warm current surged in her heart: "I'm not cold, let's go home together!"
Zhou Yong looked at his young wife's slightly red face from the cold and said, "Don't worry, just warm yourself up."
Li Baotian gazed at them with a smile on his face, his heart filled with joy. Watching the interaction between the young couple, he felt extremely gratified.
Li Caiyun picked up the scarf with a smile: "It will be warmer when I get home."
Seeing this, Zhou Yong shook his head helplessly and stood up. The three of them left the office one after another, talking and laughing.
Before they reached home, they met Li Hongjun on the way.
"Brother, are you going to go hunting in the mountains?"
Li Hongjun had a bow slung over his shoulder and forty or fifty arrows in his hand.
"Yeah. I was just about to go to your house to ask you if you want to go up the mountain..."
Since the villagers were restricted from going up the mountain and the intersections were guarded, the Li brothers' speculative business has been stagnant for several months.
Although hunting is difficult in winter, if you are lucky, you can still get some rewards.
Zhou Yong frowned secretly, guessing what Li Hongjun was thinking, but he didn't want to go up the mountain to suffer, after all, he was not short of money now.
"Brother, I can't go. The village cadres sent by the county are here..."
Li Hongjun said "oh" and chatted with Zhou Yongxian for a few words, then they went back to their homes.
The family of three had just arrived home, and Zhou Yong hadn't even taken off his hat yet, when Guo Xiangqian came to visit the Li family with a smile on his face.
