Chapter 274: Zhou Yong's first thought of killing someone since his rebirth
"Uncle, we don't need to rest."
Zhou Yong frowned, "Shoveling the ground is a strenuous job, and resting can relieve fatigue. Besides, shoveling the ground is not done the way you do it. There is no reason to work without rest. You can't stand it for a long time..."
Leng Yue bit her lip, and Leng Qiu said in a mosquito-like voice: "My grandma said that taking a break while working is a lazy behavior."
Zhou Yong's face froze, and the next second he took a deep breath.
"Listen to me, both of you. Get your grandma's words out of your heads..."
The cold wife has no good intentions towards her granddaughter. How can she educate a child in this way?
Besides, they are young. What if they get hurt from overexerting themselves?
Obviously, the cold old woman would not care about the lives of the two sisters. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the cold old woman, the two sisters were just being treated like animals.
Zhou Yong suppressed his anger and established correct values for the sisters.
They are human beings, not animals. They should rest when they are tired and cannot work endlessly.
Leng Yue and Leng Qiu listened to their uncle's words, and the two sisters slowly began to cry.
In fact, they understand that they have been exploited and abused by their grandmother, but in order to survive, they can only work like slaves at home.
After listening to what the sisters said, Zhou Yong felt deeply sorry for what they were going through.
This is what happens to children without parental love. Even if they encounter injustice, they can only endure it silently.
Zhou Yong looked up at the sky and said, "No one will bully you anymore."
The two sisters Leng Yue and Leng Qiu wiped their tears respectively, and watched Zhou Yong silently pick up the hoe and prepare to shovel the ground.
"Do you miss your mother?"
The two sisters were stunned and looked at Zhou Yong at the same time.
They both said in unison: "Yes."
Zhou Yong said nothing more. Leng Yue stepped forward cautiously and said, "Uncle, my mother is not dead, right?"
Leng Yue still remembers what happened that year. She was the one who told Zhou Yong that her mother had been sold.
Later Zhou Xia was rescued, but she never returned to the Leng family again, and gradually the villagers spread the rumor that Zhou Xia was dead.
Leng Yue initially didn't believe that her mother was dead, but as time went by, she gradually believed it.
Because in Leng Yue's opinion, if Zhou Xia were alive, she would definitely come back to see them.
The fact is, Zhou Xia could not let go of her hatred for the Leng family, so she ignored her four daughters.
In fact, Zhou Xia missed them because they were her flesh and blood after all, and the blood ties could not be severed.
Zhou Yong stared at Leng Yue. This girl was timid and could not help but take a step back when being stared at by her uncle.
"Just stay at your uncle's house!"
Zhou Yong did not answer Leng Yue's words.
The feeling of loss in Leng Yue's eyes was hard to conceal. Zhou Yong sighed in his heart, bent down and continued to shovel the ground.
Why did they hide the fact that Zhou Xia was coming back from them? It was because they were afraid of alerting the enemy.
Because Zhou Yong guessed that the old woman Leng would come to visit in a few days.
At around six o'clock, Zhou Yong took the two sisters home. When they arrived home, the Li family's courtyard was very lively.
Li Caixia came and I don’t know what she was talking about with Li Caiyun, but the two sisters were laughing so hard.
The five children have a day off tomorrow, so instead of doing their homework, they are playing skipping rope in the yard!
Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian were talking to Li Baoshan and his wife, and all four of them had smiles on their faces.
Without waiting for Zhou Yong to enter the yard, the five children stopped playing with rubber bands and went out one by one to greet him.
Li Caiyun looked at the six men with a smile, and Li Caixia said with envy: "Look at how sensible they are. Look at the ones in my family, all they care about is studying..."
"Sister Xia, look at what you said. Why do they only care about studying? Isn't it to let you live a good life?"
Li Caixia smiled and nodded: "That's right!"
Each of her children is a good student. The eldest will be taking the college entrance examination this year. If he can get into university, Li Caixia will be able to finally get his reward after all the hard work.
Zhou Yong was escorted into the yard by the children, and Li Baoshan and his wife stood up.
"The workers are back, let's go!"
"Uncle, why are you leaving when I come back?"
Li Baoshan smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of delaying your meal?"
Zhou Yong chatted with Li Baoshan for a while and asked how the couple were living in the nursing home.
Li Baoshan smiled and said, "It's fine! We stroll around every day, and if you want to come back, just say hello..."
The Huaixi Village Nursing Home is not open to the public and only accepts elderly people from the village.
And the age must be over 70 years old. Food, accommodation and medical care are free. Couples stay in single rooms, and for singles, six people share a room.
The meals are improved once a week, usually consisting of one dish and one rice, and the elderly are given a regular physical check-up every month.
Occasionally, the brigade would organize cultural and artistic activities for the elderly, and pay for them and also set up awards.
It can be said that, apart from not giving money to the elderly, the welfare benefits of the Huaixi Village Nursing Home are the envy of the elderly in the surrounding villages.
Therefore, villagers from other villages complained that their village cadres were incompetent, and some villagers even went to the township government to make trouble.
They also want to have such a life in their old age, which can not only reduce the burden on their children, but most importantly, it is lively.
For them, it is a pleasure to get together with people of the same age every day to watch Pai Gow, play chess, bask in the sun and chat.
Unfortunately, even though the villagers took the matter to the township government, there was still no nursing home in the village where they lived.
Zhou Yong smiled and nodded. Li Baoshan's face was full of smiles when he talked about the nursing home.
From his expression Zhou Yong could tell that Li Baoshan and his wife were living a very comfortable life in the nursing home.
"Stop talking nonsense, old man. Let's go back and let them have a good meal..."
Li Baoshan responded with a smile, and Li Caixia left with her parents.
Zhou Yong washed his hair and face, and the family sat around the table to prepare for dinner.
Ma Yichen came in panting. He told Zhou Yong that the school was on fire and asked him to notify everyone to put out the fire.
Zhou Yong hurried to the brigade and used the radio to notify all villagers to go to the school to put out the fire, and then he arrived at the scene.
The fire was so big that the villagers rushed to put it out.
There was a loud bang and an explosion——
Everyone's eyes were drawn over there.
Then I heard a villager shouting: "Everyone, scatter quickly, there is a bomb in the classroom..."
As the villager spoke, explosions were heard in five or six classrooms.
Zhou Yong quickly directed the villagers to evacuate to a safe area. He stood in the distance, looking at the raging fire and listening to the continuous explosions. For the first time since his rebirth, Zhou Yong had the urge to kill someone.
Ma Sanzao was covered in dust and dirt. He looked at the collapsed school buildings in front of him, his heart filled with endless sorrow. He couldn't control his emotions, he fell to his knees with a thud, tears welled up in his eyes and he burst into tears.
Zhou Yong took a deep breath and helped Ma San up.
"Don't cry. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. Let's build a new school..."
Huaixi Village has its own brick factory. Zhou Yong can just ask Chen Pingliang for sand and cement. As for wood, there is no shortage of wood since they live in the mountains. As for manpower, Huaixi Village has thousands of villagers.
Ma San wiped away his tears: "Brother Zhou, I am heartbroken. Such a good school has been destroyed. How are the children going to school? The college entrance examination is coming soon..."
Zhou Yong nodded. He understood the feelings of the principal Ma San.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"
