Chapter 297 A Poor Person
Cheng Zhigang glanced at Zhou Xia and said, "Don't scare the child."
After hearing what he said, Zhou Xia hurriedly calmed down.
She gently stroked her two daughters' chubby little faces. Seeing that they were both healthy, her heart was filled with gratitude towards Cheng Zhigang.
Sister Feng called them into the house to eat. Leng Shuang and Leng Xue were very lively. One of the sisters held Cheng Zhigang's hand and the other held Zhou Xia's hand.
"Mom and Dad, let's go eat."
Zhou Xia froze and couldn't help but steal a glance at Cheng Zhigang.
He agreed very readily, as if they were a family of four!
While eating, Cheng Zhigang would pick up some food for the two sisters from time to time.
"Xiao Shuang and Xiao Xue, Mom is going to take you out for fun. You two must be obedient and don't make Mom angry..."
"Dad, aren't you going?"
Cheng Zhigang shook his head: "Dad won't go, because he has to go to work."
Leng Xue pouted: "Dad, go ahead. I don't want to go if you don't go..."
Cheng Zhigang calmed Leng Xue down. The child was easy to coax, so after dinner the two sisters went to do their homework.
Zhou Xia and Cheng Zhigang loaded the clothes that the two sisters wanted to take away into the car, and without waiting for them to finish their homework, they took them to Hongqi Township.
The two children were chattering in the car the whole time, but Cheng Zhigang did not show any impatience at all.
"Dad, where are we going?"
The car entered Hongqi Township, but did not head towards home. Moreover, Leng Xue could not help but ask the doubts in her heart.
Cheng Zhigang smiled and said, "I'll take you to one of Mom's relatives' house. You'll stay there for one night, and then go out for fun with Mom tomorrow."
Leng Shuang and Leng Xue believed it to be true. The two sisters were very happy and full of fantasies about this trip.
When the car arrived in front of the Li family's gate, Zhou Xia got out first. Cheng Zhigang looked back at Leng Shuang and Leng Xue who were about to get out, and tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
"Dad, we're getting off the bus."
Cheng Zhigang's nose was sore, and he nodded: "Remember to listen to your mother."
The two sisters responded readily, and the moment they got off the car, tears blurred Cheng Zhigang's vision.
He raised his head, forced back the tears that were about to overflow, and Zhou Yong's voice came into his ears.
"Come in and sit down."
Cheng Zhigang returned to normal: "No, I have something else to do and need to hurry back."
Zhou Yong nodded: "Okay then, I won't keep you here."
Cheng Zhigang saw through the rearview mirror that Zhou Xia had taken all the items away. He started the car and turned it around with a very depressed mood.
Leng Xue waved at him: "Dad, I will miss you."
Cheng Zhigang waved at the two sisters and said, "Remember to listen to your mother."
"Okay, we got it."
Cheng Zhigang looked at the two sisters deeply with reluctance, then stepped on the accelerator and drove the jeep away for a long distance.
The jeep disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye, and everyone helped carry Leng Shuang and Leng Xue's belongings into the yard.
After settling the two sisters down, Zhou Xia told everyone what had happened.
Zhang Guifang's tone was full of disbelief: "I never thought he would be so good to the two children."
Li Baotian took over the conversation and echoed it, and Li Caiyun followed with a few words of emotion.
Everyone was chatting, Zhou Xia went to develop relationships with Leng Shuang and Leng Xue, and the others were busy with their own things.
The next morning, before seven o'clock, Chen Pingliang drove over, looking half sleepy.
"Brother, let's go."
Zhou Yong nodded: "Take care of yourself."
Zhou Xia responded and said goodbye to Zhang Guifang, Li Baotian and Li Caiyun.
Zhang Guifang sighed: "Come back often when you have time."
Zhou Xia responded with a smile and hugged her nephew and niece respectively.
"Sister, please write to me when you have time."
Zhou Xia nodded with a smile and straightened Zhou Ling's collar: "Okay, I will write to you when I have time.
You are so sharp-tongued, don't be so unreasonable all the time. Zhao Min is a good man, he won't argue with you, you can't push it any further..."
Zhou Ling glanced at Zhao Min who was standing aside and said, "Sister, I understand."
With everyone reluctant to leave, Chen Pingliang took the four of them, mother and daughter, to Qingmu County.
They had to take the bus at around nine o'clock to the provincial capital to meet up with Wei Guoan so that they could get passes for the children.
The car drove away, Zhou Ling and Zhao Min went home, Li Caiyun returned to the yard, rode her bicycle to work.
Li Baotian went back to the house and took a walk. As he had nothing to do, he went to patrol the area leisurely.
Zhang Guifang and Jiang Yue'e entered the house, and the brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingen put on their schoolbags and went to school.
Zhou Kerou and Li Jingan were going to Masanjia. Zhou Yong looked at the time and arranged to take Zhou Kexin to the team to play.
"Dad, I don't want to go."
"So where do you want to go?"
Zhou Kexin smiled and said, "Dad, I don't want to go anywhere."
Zhou Yong said, "That won't work. It's not good to stay at home all the time. Dad will take you out for a walk."
Zhou Kexin was a little resistant, and Zhou Yong thought for a moment: "How about this? You accompany Dad to the brigade, and Dad will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative later..."
The father and daughter reached a deal, and Zhou Yong rode his bicycle to take Zhou Kexin to the brigade.
After arranging all the work, Zhou Yong took his daughter to Hongqi Township.
Their first stop was the township government. The father and daughter stayed there for more than an hour, and then they went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zhou Yong bought some snacks for the children and took Zhou Kexin to the vegetable market...
After a round, Zhou Kexin looked much more energetic.
Zhou Yong gazed at the smile on his eldest daughter's face, and an indescribable sense of relief surged in his heart.
As long as Zhou Kexin can integrate more into the outside world and come into contact with different people and things, Zhou Yong believes that the fear in her heart will gradually dissipate.
"Dad, where are we going next?"
Zhou Yong smiled when he heard this. He checked the time and said, "Dad will take you to a restaurant."
Zhou Kexin was very happy when she heard this. Zhou Yong left the bicycle and the items he was selling with the manager of the bicycle shed, and the father and daughter walked towards the restaurant.
"Niuniu, what do you want to eat?"
Zhou Kexin smiled and said, "Dad, I want to eat sweet and sour pork."
Zhou Yong agreed and ordered another dish that Zhou Kexin liked.
As soon as the father and daughter sat down, Cheng Zhigang walked into the restaurant with a few people, chatting and laughing.
The moment Cheng Zhigang saw Zhou Yong, his smile froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.
Zhou Yong nodded at him while sitting in his seat. Cheng Zhigang asked the others to find a place to sit, and he limped over to the father and daughter.
"They are gone, mother and daughter?"
Zhou Yong hummed, and the bitterness in Cheng Zhigang's eyes was hard to conceal.
He said nothing more and limped away. Zhou Yong looked at Cheng Zhigang's lost back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart!
"Dad, who is he?"
Zhou Yong sighed: "A pitiful person."
Zhou Kexin stared at the table where Cheng Zhigang was, then she looked away: "Dad, why can't I see how pitiful he is?"
Zhou Yong burst out laughing, and Zhou Kexin pouted: "Dad, what are you laughing at?"
He restrained his smile: "Dad is not laughing. The food is here, let's eat!"
Zhou Kexin responded and picked up the chopsticks happily. She first picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork for Zhou Yong and put it into his bowl, then picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork and put it into her own mouth.
The sweet and sour pork just out of the pot was a little hot, but Zhou Kexin didn't care at all and ate it with a sizzling sound.
Zhou Yong looked at his daughter lovingly: "Eat slowly, it's hot."
Zhou Kexin responded with a smile. Just as Zhou Yong was about to eat the sweet and sour pork in his bowl, the guests at the next table suddenly started making a noise.
