Chapter 327 Why does everyone hope Zhou Yong is not here?
When Zhou Yong saw his father-in-law, he gritted his teeth and retracted his outstretched hand. Li Baotian saw the whole scene.
Li Baotian glared at his son-in-law. Li Caiyun stood up and he sat down and muttered, "Pay attention to the adverse effects."
Zhou Yong scratched his head and changed the subject: "Dad, have you had breakfast?"
Li Baotian nodded: "I came here after having dinner at home."
Zhou Yong was just trying to make conversation. After Li Baotian finished speaking, he remained silent.
Li Caiyun went to the door of the ward and looked around, then turned back and said, "There are so many people and I'm not needed, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some shoe uppers..."
Li Baotian nodded, and Zhou Yong stood up: "I'll go with you."
Li Caiyun glanced at him and said calmly: "Just stay in the hospital. If there is any emergency, you can help deal with it in time."
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Caiyun for a moment: "Okay!"
Li Caiyun turned and walked towards the stairs. Zhou Yong looked at his wife's back and felt that something was wrong with her.
Normally, if Zhou Yong offered to accompany her, Li Caiyun would be very happy. However, just now, she obviously did not want Zhou Yong to accompany her.
Zhou Yong thought secretly: What is going on?
Unable to figure it out, Zhou Yong sat on a chair and chatted with Li Baotian.
Half an hour later, Li Caiyun returned empty-handed.
"Didn't you go buy some uppers? Why did you come back empty-handed?"
Li Caiyun said calmly: "I forgot to bring the cloth coupons."
Zhou Yong gently shifted his gaze away and noticed something unusual from Li Caiyun's slightly stiff face.
He responded with a long "Oh", but he already knew in his heart that this girl was hiding something from him.
Zhou Yong thought so in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
At around ten o'clock, the Li family went back home and Zhou Yong followed them back.
When he got home, Zhou Yong found Zhang San and asked him to go to the village where Li Guang's fiancée lived to find out about their family's background.
After leaving Zhang's house, Zhou Yong rode his bicycle to the brigade to deal with work matters, and then he walked home after get off work.
When Zhou Yong opened the door, the living room was filled with laughter. However, when he entered the room, the cheerful atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant and the laughter disappeared.
The four children went back to their room to do their homework one after another. Li Jing'an was quite cute and ran towards him. Zhang Guifang looked away from her son-in-law, then got up and went back to her room.
Zhou Yong picked up Li Jingan and asked, "Where's your mother?"
Li Caiyun was not in the living room, so Zhou Yong asked.
"My mom? She was here just now."
Zhou Yong said "oh" and carried Li Jingan back to the house.
Li Caiyun was sitting on the kang making cotton trousers for Li Jingan. When she saw Zhou Yong coming back, she greeted him.
Zhou Yong put Li Jingan down, but the boy couldn't stay there and ran to the living room.
"What's for dinner?"
"I don't know. Go ask Sister Jiang."
Li Caiyun replied while doing needlework. Zhou Yong looked at her and turned to light the stove.
After dinner, the table was very quiet. Zhou Kexin, Zhou Kerou, Li Jingchu and Li Jingen said nothing. After the four children finished their meal, they went back to their rooms quietly.
This scene made Zhou Yong depressed. He frowned and stood up and left his seat.
Zhou Yong went outside to get some fresh air, but his mind was filled with the actions of his four children, and he felt confused.
He thought to himself: It was beyond his expectation that he was isolated by the children.
Zhou Yong left home with a frown. When he arrived at the gate, he didn't know where to go.
After standing at the gate for a while, Zhou Yong returned home. He washed his feet after entering the house, spread out his bedding and went to bed early.
Li Caiyun was very considerate: "You go to sleep, I'll go to mom's room to do some work."
She left the bedroom holding the cotton pants, and Zhou Yong was even more distraught.
It’s bad enough that he is isolated by his children, but now even his wife doesn’t care about him.
Zhou Yong was so depressed that he started to get upset in his bed. He was alone in the room and no one paid any attention to him even though he was upset.
"You heartless guys, just wait for me..."
After mumbling to himself for a while, Zhou Yong fell asleep soon due to lack of sleep.
He was immersed in a sweet dream until five o'clock in the morning, when his eyes slowly opened.
Zhou Yong got up to fetch water, then swept the yard and chopped firewood.
After dinner he left home. As soon as he left, Zhou Kexin and her three siblings prepared to go to the countryside.
Li Caiyun put on a scarf and gloves and prepared to go to the county town: "It's so cold, why are you going to the countryside? Just stay at home!"
The children don't go to school today, Sunday.
Zhou Kexin's eyes rolled around: "Mom, my classmate is sick, let's go see her."
Is your classmate sick?
"Is it a cold?"
After all, Zhou Kexin was young and did not realize the meaning of Li Caiyun's words, so she responded immediately.
"Then don't go. Colds are contagious. There are so many people in our family, if one of us catches a cold, everyone will catch one."
Zhou Kexin froze. Li Jingchu gave her elder sister a look and she opened her mouth but stopped talking.
Li Caiyun said hello to Li Baotian and his wife, and then left home.
Zhou Kexin approached Zhang Guifang with a smile and said, "Grandma, can you give me ten dollars?"
Zhang Guifang glared at Zhou Kexin and said, "Do you think grandma looks like ten yuan?"
Zhou Kexin gently shook her grandmother's arm, and Zhou Kerou, Li Jingchu and Li Jingen came over. Under the four children's coquettish behavior, Zhang Guifang gave them ten yuan.
"Don't waste money, do you hear me?"
"Don't worry, grandma. We will never spend money recklessly."
Zhang Guifang smiled. Li Baotian, who was sitting next to her, watched the four children leave the house and said, "Just spoil them!"
"I'm happy to do that. Stop talking about me here."
Li Baotian snorted, stood up and led Li Jingan out of the house.
Zhang Guifang glared fiercely at Li Baotian's back.
When Zhou Yong returned home at noon, only Zhang Guifang and Jiang Yue'e were at home.
When he asked, he found out that Li Caiyun went to the county town, the four children went to the countryside, and Li Baotian took Li Jing'an to the nursing home to visit Li Baoshan and his wife.
"Xiao Yun went to the county town? I didn't hear her mention this this morning."
Zhang Guifang was stunned: "I guess I forgot to tell you."
Zhou Yong smiled and said nothing more. After lunch he left home.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Kexin rode back a brand new bicycle.
"Grandma, my dad isn't home, right?"
Zhang Guifang put her hands in her sleeves and said, "Your father is not at home. Where did this bicycle come from? And where are Gousheng and the other two?"
Zhou Kexin smiled and said, "Grandma, Gousheng and the other two are in the back. I will explain the other things to you later. Grandma, please help me open the door. I want to push my bicycle into the house..."
Zhang Guifang's eyes were full of confusion as she opened the door for Zhou Kexin.
"Niuniu, why are you pushing your bike into your room?"
"Grandma, don't ask yet, just keep an eye on the outside. If my dad comes back, tell me. Also, don't tell my dad about the bicycle..."
Zhang Guifang didn't understand and said "oh", and Zhou Keyin pushed the bicycle into her room with a smile. Then she came out of the house and brought a basin of water into the house.
After she finished cleaning the wheels of her bicycle, Zhou Kerou poked her head out and pushed open the door.
"Grandma, is my dad home?"
Zhang Guifang shook her head slightly and responded in a low voice, her heart full of confusion: What happened to these children today? Why does everyone hope that Zhou Yong is not here?
When Zhou Kerou heard this, she stood at the door with a smile on her face and shouted, "Big brother, second brother, come in quickly, Dad is not at home..."
