Chapter 310 What is being both a role model and a role model?
Zhang Guifang scolded Zhang Jingping harshly, but Zhang Dalong and his wife remained silent from beginning to end. After staying for a while, they went home.
After seeing the couple off, Zhou Yong found an excuse to go back home. At around ten o'clock, Li Caiyun tiptoed and pushed open the bedroom door.
"You didn't sleep?"
Zhou Yong was reading a book. When he saw Li Caiyun coming back, he closed the book and put it aside.
“Not sleepy.”
Li Caiyun walked to the edge of the kang in her slippers, and while lying on the kang she talked to Zhou Yong about Zhang Jingping.
Although Zhang Jingping made Zhang Guifang very angry, they were aunt and niece after all. As an aunt, how could she be so cruel as not to ask about her niece's affairs?
But Zhang Jingping didn't know what it meant to quit while she was ahead. Now the situation with the Lu family was so tense. Zhang Guifang suggested that Song Hongyun go to the Lu family tomorrow to discuss the matter, but Zhang Jingping refused to let her mother come.
Zhou Yong looked at the roof and asked, "Xiao Ping, do you really not plan to live with Lu Xiangdong?"
Li Caiyun undressed and pouted: "At first I thought the same as you. But Xiaoping is reluctant to divorce. After all, Lu Xiangdong has a stable job, she doesn't need food and clothing, and she doesn't need to worry about the family affairs. He doesn't care about her when she quarrels. If she divorces, where can she find such a man..."
Zhou Yong said, "This is a typical case of being both a responsible person and a mediocre person."
Li Caiyun frowned and lifted the quilt: "What do you mean by being both a role model and a role model?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "It means you want to be a whore, but you also want to build a chastity memorial arch for yourself."
A dark streak crossed Li Caiyun's forehead. "Where did you learn these words?"
Zhou Yong turned over, lay on his side and looked at Li Caiyun: "I heard it from others."
Li Caiyun lay down: "The person who said this is not a good person either."
Zhou Yong grinned: "Isn't Xiao Ping's current situation a double act?"
Li Caiyun thought about it and felt that Zhou Yong’s description seemed to be correct.
"You're all right, aren't you?"
Zhou Yong chuckled, and seeing Li Caiyun lying down, he reached out and turned off the light.
Li Caiyun took the initiative to lie down in his arms: "Zhou Yong."
"What's wrong?"
Li Caiyun stammered, "I heard from mom that she wants you to go to the Lu family with dad tomorrow, but she doesn't want Xiaoping to know about this..."
It's really difficult for Zhang Guifang, but she's not sure whether Zhang Jingping will appreciate it.
Zhou Yong frowned, with some displeasure in his eyes: "I don't have time tomorrow, we will thresh wheat at home."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
"I have to go to the village for a meeting the day after tomorrow, and come back to help Sun Qing's family harvest wheat."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
"I don't know at the moment, but I guess I won't be idle."
Li Caiyun leaned closer to him and said, "Don't be like this, okay? For mom's sake, just go with dad."
Zhou Yong looked at Li Caiyun, who was acting like a spoiled child in his arms, and said helplessly, "Lu Xiangdong and the Lu family have done their utmost. Even if my dad and I go, what problem can we solve?"
Li Caiyun was speechless. After a moment, she said, "But we can't just watch them get divorced like this, right?"
Zhou Yong snorted and said sarcastically, "Xiao Ping has always believed that Lu Xiangdong will be single after the divorce, so she dared to act so recklessly. Since she has the courage to do these things, she must be responsible for her choice..."
Zhang Jingping is not a child anymore. Who does she expect to clean up her mess when she does something wrong?
Zhou Yong would not go to the Lu family and speak well of Zhang Jingping. After all, what she did was not worthy of sympathy.
Assuming that the Lu family and Lu Xiangdong were really at fault, it would be fine for his wife's family to go and ask for an explanation. But the problem is that the Lu family did nothing wrong, so if Zhou Yong went there, wouldn't he just have to wait and see what their expressions were?
Li Caiyun shut up and sighed. Zhou Yong spoke again: "Also, persuade mom not to meddle in other people's business."
"Will my advice be of any use?"
"Since it's useless, don't get involved in this matter. I guarantee you'll get yourself into trouble later."
Li Caiyun fell into silence. Zhou Yong seemed to want to say something but stopped talking. After thinking for a while, he said nothing.
The next day, Zhou Yong's biological clock woke him up at exactly four o'clock. He tiptoed up and got dressed.
The moment he came out of the house, a breath of fresh air hit him in the face.
Zhou Yong opened his arms, stretched, washed up, and went to the yard with a four-pronged fork.
He laid the sheaves of wheat in a circle so that he could use a stone roller to crush the grains later.
Before he could spread the wheat into a circle, Li Baotian and Li Hongjun came, each holding a four-pronged fork.
At around five o'clock, the three of them went back to have breakfast, and then Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun went to the brigade to get a horse.
Pulled by a horse, the stone roller slowly rotated along the circular track of the wheat, round and round.
During this period, someone has to use a four-pronged fork to turn the wheat being crushed by the stone roller from time to time.
Li Hongjun led the horse and made circles on the spot, and soon he felt dizzy.
Sun Qing took over the job. Li Hongjun slowed down and picked up the four-pronged fork to turn the wheat.
"Village head, I used to think our village yard was big, but since the land was distributed to each household, why is it that this yard is not enough?"
In the past, people worked collectively and the wheat was piled directly in the yard after harvest. Now, they are all private fields, so the yard is naturally not enough.
Zhou Yong stood still, holding a four-pronged fork in his hand: "Let's do this for this year, and then find a place to pave a few yards next year..."
You can use a stone roller to compact the soil in the field, but the soil will not be compacted and many wheat grains will be damaged.
“I understand what you said, village chief, but the question is how to solve this year’s problems?
Every household grows wheat, and now it takes more than a month to queue up to thresh wheat. If that’s the case, some families probably have to husk their wheat in the field…”
Zhou Yong thought about this question: "I understand the problem you raised. I will solve it later."
When the villagers heard this, smiles appeared on their faces and they happily went back to help.
Zhou Yong turned over the wheat and thought about the problem, and soon he came up with a solution.
After the wheat is threshed, it needs to be dried in order to store it well. By drying them in the sun, they can prevent mildew and rot caused by moisture.
Drying the wheat usually takes several days, depending on factors such as the weather and the humidity of the wheat.
Zhou Yong put down his work and went to the brigade. He used the radio to inform everyone that after the wheat grains were hulled, they should be taken home to dry in the sun. Wouldn't the yard be free this way?
The villagers expressed their understanding of Zhou Yong's arrangement. Although it added a step to transport the crops home, everyone should be considerate of each other during the current wheat harvest season.
In the evening, Zhou Yong and his men used a horse-drawn carriage to bring bags of wheat home, and then spread them out in the yard to dry...
They were busy until eight o'clock in the evening before they had dinner. Everyone had worked hard all day, so Zhou Yong joined them for a drink.
Zhang Jingping sat on the wooden sofa in Li's house with a long face, as if someone owed her money!
The Li family knew that she was in a bad mood, so no one paid any attention to her.
Zhou Yong and his friends were talking and laughing loudly, which might have annoyed her. Zhang Jingping came to the table and said, "What time is it? Can you let me rest? Just have a drink, why is it going on and on?"
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere became awkward. Li Hongjun frowned and Sun Qing narrowed his eyes.
The others froze, and someone stood up with a smile: "Sorry, I was so busy drinking that I forgot the time. I'll be leaving first, you guys drink slowly!"
