Chapter 222: What happened to Accountant Sun?
When Li Baotian learned about this, he didn't even have time to eat lunch. He asked Zhang Guifang to give him some money and rode his bicycle to the commune.
After her husband passed away, Zhang Guifang sighed and said, "If anything happens to Accountant Sun, Shao Wenjing will be the culprit..."
Li Caiyun continued: "Not really. Look at what happened. I don't know what to say to Shao Wenjing..."
As the mother and daughter were talking, they put down the table, picked up the dishes and prepared to eat. The food was placed on the table, and Zhou Kexin and her two siblings returned from school.
The red scarf around Li Jingen's neck looked like a bag, and Li Caiyun shook her head helplessly.
"Gousheng, look at the red scarf around your neck? That's because your dad isn't home. If he were at home, you would definitely be criticized again..."
Li Jingen smiled and glanced down at the red scarf around his neck, adjusting it: "Mom, is this okay now?"
Li Caiyun frowned, came to Li Jingen, and helped him straighten his crooked red scarf.
Zhang Guifang sat at the dinner table and looked at the mother and son: "Caiyun, eat first, and then we can fix it after dinner."
Zhou Kexin, Li Jingchu and Zhou Kerou had washed their hands and were sitting at the table. Since Li Caiyun did not sit at the table, the children did not eat even though they were hungry.
Li Caiyun responded and took Li Jingen, who had washed his hands, to take a seat.
Zhang Guifang had just picked up the chopsticks when Li Jingan, who was playing on the kang, crawled over.
The boy stared at the dining table, drooling with greed.
Zhang Guifang was about to put down her chopsticks and pick up Li Jingan, but Li Caiyun was quick to pick up her younger son.
"You eat, and leave the child to mom."
Li Caiyun smiled and said, "Mom, you eat first. I'm not hungry yet."
Zhang Guifang looked at her daughter and said nothing more. She hurried to eat. After dinner, she looked after the child and only then could Li Caiyun eat in peace.
Li Jing'an was not at all obedient in Li Caiyun's arms. His little hands were quick. If she wasn't paying attention, the boy would either pick up the chopsticks or lift up the bowl.
Li Caiyun had no way of eating with him like this, so she could only sit at the dinner table and coax her little son.
Li Jingchu looked at the food on the table, picked up a piece of potato chip and handed it to his younger brother Li Jingan.
In a flash, potato chips appeared in Li Jingan's hands.
Zhang Guifang swallowed the food in her mouth and said with a smile: "How come this child's hands are so fast?"
Li Jingan took the potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth. Since he only had six teeth, he took several bites of the potato chips and the chips only suffered some superficial injuries.
He got anxious and continued stuffing potato chips into his mouth, then bit his finger.
Li Jingan curled his lips and glanced at his bitten finger. No one took it seriously and continued to struggle with the potato chips.
His funny and comical scene made everyone laugh. Li Caiyun kissed her little son's forehead, and she was so amused that she didn't know what to say.
After Zhang Guifang finished eating, she brought Li Jingan over, and Li Caiyun picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
After dinner, Zhou Kexin, Li Jingchu and Li Jingen helped to clean up the dishes. Zhou Kerou was also not idle, doing what she could.
When it was time to go to work, Li Caiyun left home. Not long after she left, Zhou Kexin and her two siblings went to school.
They all left, leaving only Zhang Guifang, Zhou Kerou and Li Jingan at home.
Zhang Guifang brought the siblings to the front garden and spread a few cloth bags on the ground. Li Jingan played on them while Zhou Kerou looked at her brother.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Guifang planted some vegetables, but before she finished her work, Li Jingan started making trouble.
"Grandma is almost done with her work, can you and your sister play for a while?"
Li Jing'an was crying and lying in Zhang Guifang's arms in a bad mood. When she saw this, she picked up the baby carrier beside her and carried her grandson on her back so that it would not delay her work.
"Murmur, put the bag away!"
Zhou Kerou responded and happily picked up several cloth bags spread on the ground and put them aside.
Zhang Guifang carried Li Jingan on her back and did the rest of the work. She was busy and efficient, and the child fell asleep on her back.
After entering the house and putting the child to sleep on the kang, Zhang Guifang asked Zhou Kerou to look after Li Jingan while she went to do the laundry.
The washed clothes were hung one by one on the clothesline. Just as she finished, Li Jingan woke up.
"Grandma, Gunpao is awake."
"Got it. Just watch the cannon while grandma pours the water and goes into the house."
Zhou Kerou said "oh" and walked into the house. Li Jing'an was sitting on the kang with a pout on his face!
"Don't cry, grandma will be here soon."
When Li Jing'an heard this, he controlled his emotions, but the moment he looked at Zhang Guifang, he started crying.
Zhang Guifang sighed: "Don't cry, grandma will make you some milk powder..."
Li Jing'an calmed down after drinking milk, Zhang Guifang breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Kerou was playing with a few Galahas by herself!
After Li Jing'an finished his milk, he played Kalaha with Zhou Kerou. Zhang Guifang took out the bottle and helped her go into the house and lie down straight.
"Mumbling, looking at the steel cannon, grandma squinted for a while."
Zhou Kerou responded, and Zhang Guifang closed her eyes in a daze.
She was only in a daze for about five minutes before Zhou Kerou woke up Zhang Guifang and Li Jingan wet his pants.
Zhang Guifang's daily life is like this, either taking care of her children or taking care of the stove.
It can be said that if she had not worked silently and selflessly at home, how could Li Caiyun be so at ease at work.
When it was time to cook, if Li Jing'an didn't make a fuss, Zhou Kerou would stay in the room and watch over her brother. If he made a fuss, Zhang Guifang would cook behind his back.
Li Caiyun came back from get off work. She was not idle when she got home. She took a shoulder pole and a bucket to fetch water.
It was around six o'clock in the evening when Li Baotian returned from the commune.
"How's Accountant Sun?"
As soon as Li Baotian entered the room, Zhang Guifang immediately asked about Accountant Sun's health.
"No big deal, I've already gone home."
Accountant Sun is already in his seventies. If he were in later times, he would have retired long ago. In this day and age, people in their seventies are still working!
In fact, Accountant Sun can also apply for retirement, but he won’t get much salary after retirement.
The most important thing is that he will have nothing to do after retirement. He can't do physical work at his age. It is better for him to earn some salary in his current position!
Zhang Guifang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she learned that Accountant Sun was fine. Li Caiyun took over the conversation: "Dad, Zhou Yong is not at home. Do I need to bring some things to the Sun family to see Accountant Sun?"
Li Baotian thought for a few seconds and said, "Let's go and have a look. Accountant Sun is old after all..."
If Zhou Yong was at home, Li Caiyun wouldn't have to worry about these things.
Zhang Guifang said to herself: "Just go to Sun's house and get two cans of food and two bags of fruit..."
Li Caiyun responded. Li Baotian had not eaten yet, so Zhang Guifang left some food for her husband.
Li Baotian ate in front of the stove in the outer room, Li Caiyun was busy with housework, and the three children were doing homework in the west room. She went to Sun's house carrying canned fruit.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
On the way to Sun's house, Li Caiyun met Zhou Ling.
"I'm going to Sun's house. Did you sneak out?"
Zhou Ling sighed: "Sister-in-law, don't mention it, I'm going to my second brother's house..."
Now Cui Shufen and Zhou Jiefang are living alone, and the three brothers Zhou Gang, Zhou Qiang and Zhou Tao give them two yuan a month for living expenses.
It may not seem like much, but it is a burden on the three families.
Li Caiyun listened to Zhou Ling talking about the trivial matters of the Zhou family, and the more she listened, the more she frowned.
