Chapter 258 Retraining
After this conversation, Zhou Yong deeply realized that He Xiulan was not only tough and decisive, but also had a heroic and unyielding spirit. And throughout the entire exchange, she showed amazing calmness.
Zhou Yong sincerely admired He Xiulan's character and determined that she would achieve something in the future.
He Xiulan left without asking Zhou Yong to arrange accommodation for her, because she knew that if the problems left over by the Family Planning Office were not resolved, she would not be able to carry out her work even if she lived in Huaixi Village.
She believed that as long as the problem was solved, the rest would fall into place.
Li Hongjun glanced at Zhou Yong and said, "He Xiulan should not be underestimated."
Zhou Yong nodded: "He's a tough guy."
Accountant Sun sighed: "It seems that things are going to change in Huaixi Village."
change of weather?
That's not the case.
As long as He Xiulan can successfully solve the current problems and the village cadres can actively guide the villagers' thinking, things will surely turn around.
Li Ming frowned, took a sip of water and changed the subject: "Captain, what's going on at the provincial capital vegetable market?
It's been several days, why is there no movement at all?
Should we go to the commune and give them a call to inquire about the situation?
We can't just keep waiting like a silly wife waiting for a stubborn man, can we? ”
Zhou Yong raised his head and looked at Li Ming: "Don't worry, the food is in our hands. Even if the cooperation fails, we won't suffer any loss..."
It would be best if we can cooperate. If not, we will find another way next year.
Li Ming put down the big teapot in his hand and said, "That's true. But if we don't cooperate with the provincial vegetable market, we won't have to expand the scale of the vegetable greenhouse next year."
Zhou Yong raised his hand and pinched his brow. He yawned and said, "Let's put this aside for now and see what happens."
Li Ming nodded, and Zhou Yong stood up: "I'm going to the vegetable greenhouse base."
"Captain, I'll go with you."
Zhou Yong responded, Li Ming put on his hat and gloves, and the two left the office one after the other.
When they came out of the vegetable greenhouse base, it was getting dark. Zhou Yong and Li Ming entered the village and went back to their respective homes.
When Zhou Yong got home, Zhang Dalong's daughter-in-law was at his house with Lu Erya!
"Uncle."
When Lu Erya saw Zhou Yong coming back, she seemed very reserved and greeted him.
Zhou Yong nodded: "When did you come?"
Lu Erya replied, Zhou Yong said "oh" and went to the west room.
When he came out of the west room, Lu Erya had already left.
"Why did my niece-in-law leave?"
Li Caiyun sighed and said helplessly: "She has been here all afternoon."
Zhou Yong: “…?”
What's going on?
According to Li Caiyun, after Lv Erya came, she either wanted to help with washing clothes or cleaning.
The Li family's house was spotlessly clean and there was no work for Lu Erya to do. She helped to fetch water, chop wood, and sew shoe soles. In short, she found work for herself, which made Li Caiyun speechless.
Zhou Yong couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Li Caiyun took a deep breath and said, "Who knows? I spent the whole afternoon following Lu Erya's butt..."
If Lu Erya came to visit normally, Li Caiyun would naturally welcome her.
But her various behaviors after she came made Li Caiyun feel very uncomfortable.
After listening to Li Caiyun's complaints, Zhou Yong said, "I'll talk to my brother later..."
Li Caiyun nodded: "I'm going to cook, you look after the child."
Zhou Yong responded and called out to Li Jingan who was about to go to the west room to disturb his brother and sister from doing their homework.
"come over."
Li Jing'an pouted his lips and walked towards Zhou Yong step by step with his short legs.
"Dad has told you many times that you can't go to the west room to disturb your brother and sister when they are doing their homework..."
Li Jingan gradually lowered his head, and Zhou Yong picked up his little son: "Be obedient, wait until your brother and sister finish their homework and then we will play with you."
Normally, the children would eat when they got home from school, and during that time they could play with Li Jingan for a while.
Because of Lu Erya today, Li Caiyun didn't prepare dinner until now, so the siblings could only do their homework after school.
Zhou Yong carried his young son to the kitchen. The father and son helped to light the fire while Li Caiyun cooked skillfully.
Li Jing'an was relatively obedient. Although he always tried to leave on tiptoe, he was always called back by Zhou Yong or Li Caiyun.
The little guy was very depressed and stood listlessly beside Zhou Yong.
Zhou Yong was amused by Li Jing'an's hopeless expression. He added some firewood to the stove and went to the living room carrying his youngest son.
The father and son lit the stove in the living room. Zhou Yong played with him for a while, and Li Jingan immediately jumped for joy.
"Shh, keep your voice down, my brothers and sisters are doing their homework!"
Li Jingan raised his chubby little hands and quickly covered his mouth, which made Zhou Yong burst out laughing.
"dad!!"
Zhou Kexin's voice came from the west room.
Zhou Yong responded and walked over holding Li Jingan's hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Dad, look at your daughter's homework. I told her that her calculations were wrong, but she insisted..."
Zhou Yong went forward to check Zhou Kerou's homework, and his head started to hurt as he looked at it.
"Mum-mum, what's ten plus two?"
Zhou Kerou stretched out her hands and counted from the beginning to the end: "Twenty."
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Ten plus two, not ten times two. Count carefully."
Zhou Kerou counted her fingers again and gave the answer of twenty.
Li Jingchu opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back.
Li Jingen smiled and said, "Little fool, ten plus two equals twelve. I've told you so many times, why can't you remember it?"
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes: "Li Jingen, how do you talk to your sister?"
Children need encouragement from their family on the road to learning, not discouragement.
Li Jingen scratched his head and repeated his words: "Sister, let me tell you that ten plus two equals twelve, not twenty. As for why, Dad will explain it to you..."
Zhou Yong looked at Li Jingen and felt like beating him up.
"Impossible, look, I'm counting on my fingers..."
Even if you count your toes, ten plus two does not equal twenty.
Zhou Yong's blood pressure soared, and he kept telling himself in his heart that he should be patient when dealing with children's learning problems.
"Mian Nan, how many fingers do you have?"
Zhou Kerou stretched out her hand and glanced: "Ten fingers."
Zhou Yong nodded and held up two fingers: "How many fingers are there now?"
Zhou Kerou counted again: "Twelve."
Zhou Yong smiled: "So what is ten plus two?"
Zhou Kerou stared with her clear eyes: "Twenty."
The smile on Zhou Yong's face suddenly disappeared. He bit his back teeth and took a deep breath. At this moment, he really wanted to retrain Zhou Kerou.
Zhou Kexin packed her books into her schoolbag and said to herself, "Dad, she is like this. No matter how I explain to her, she is stubborn and insists that it is twenty."
Zhou Yong looked at his younger daughter Zhou Kerou and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Zhou Kexin went downstairs and hung her schoolbag on the wall. She led Li Jingan out of the west room.
Zhou Yong also wanted to leave, but he couldn't.
He continued to teach his daughter patiently, but Zhou Kerou seemed to have reached a dead end. No matter how he taught her, she still insisted on her own ideas.
Zhou Yong could no longer bear it and shouted angrily: "Li Caiyun!!"
