Chapter 330 The children gave Zhou Yong a birthday surprise
Zhou Yong fell into deep thought, feeling that things were becoming increasingly complicated.
"Did you find out anything else?"
Zhang San nodded: "Village chief, the eldest and the youngest son of the Wang family are both hanging out with Old Dog Feng!"
Zhou Yong pursed his lips and said, "Birds of a feather flock together. This saying makes sense..."
Zhang San scratched his head, looking confused: "Village Chief, what does it mean that birds of a feather flock together?"
Zhou Yong explained the meaning of this sentence to Zhang San, and he said "oh" after listening.
"Thank you for your hard work, go home soon!"
Zhang San responded and was about to go back, but was stopped by Zhou Yong again.
Zhou Yong took the key from his waist, opened the drawer, took out two packs of cigarettes and stuffed them into Zhang San's hands.
Zhang San smiled and said, "Thank you, village chief."
Zhou Yong patted him on the shoulder: "Go home!"
After Zhang San left, Zhou Yong locked the drawer and called Chen Pingliang.
The reason why the Wang family is so arrogant is mainly because they have Feng Laogou as their backer.
If Feng Laogou were eliminated, the Wang family would no longer have the capital to be so arrogant.
However, it is not easy to get rid of Feng Laogou. Since the crackdown, he has been keeping a low profile, and it is difficult to bring him to justice without solid evidence.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yong got up and left the office.
On the way home, he was thinking that if it hadn't been the crackdown period, Old Dog Feng would have stood up for the Wang family long ago.
Zhou Yong arrived at his home while he was lost in thought. Just as he was riding his bicycle into the yard, the lights in the living room suddenly went out.
Zhou Yong looked at the lights on in other rooms and knew that there was no power outage. He said to himself, "Is the light bulb burnt out? Or is there a short circuit?"
After parking his bicycle, Zhou Yong took off his cotton gloves and walked towards the door.
He opened the door and entered the house, but before he could ask a question, someone grabbed his hand.
Realizing it was Li Caiyun, Zhou Yong frowned: "Why is the battery out?"
Li Caiyun smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later. Come with me first."
She gently took Zhou Yong's hand and led him to the dining table.
The living room was pitch black. Zhou Yong had just stepped into the house and had not yet adapted to the dimness of the room.
Arriving at the table, Zhou Yong smelled the aroma of food, and Li Caiyun said, "Close your eyes."
Zhou Yong was confused: "Why are you closing your eyes?"
"Just close your eyes if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Zhou Yong smiled, his tone somewhat doting: "Okay, okay, I'll close my eyes, okay?"
Li Caiyun was afraid that he would peek, so she came behind Zhou Yong and stood on tiptoe to cover his eyes.
Zhou Yong frowned slightly. Although he was full of doubts, he did not ask any more questions.
The match head gently scratched across the matchbox, making a subtle and crisp sound.
After about twenty or thirty seconds, Li Caiyun let go of her hand.
"Zhou Yong, open your eyes!"
Zhou Yong slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a very eye-catching birthday cake with the words "Happy Birthday" written on it. In addition to the cake, the dining table was filled with various exquisite dishes.
The lights in the living room suddenly came on, and the brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingen were holding a banner with smiles on their faces. The banner read: Happy Birthday to Dad.
"Dad, turn back."
Zhou Kexin called out to him.
Zhou Yong turned his head and looked behind him, and a brand new bicycle covered with a big red flower appeared in front of him.
At this time, the five children said in unison: "Happy birthday, Dad..."
Zhou Kerou smiled and handed over a bouquet of exquisite paper flowers. Zhou Yong took it with emotion, tears flashing in his eyes.
He tried to look up at the rooftop, trying to suppress the surge of emotions, but tears still fell uncontrollably.
Li Caiyun comforted him softly, "Don't cry."
Zhou Yong rubbed his eyes gently and responded with a strong face: "I didn't cry."
Li Caiyun greeted him with a smile and gently pulled him to a seat. Li Jingchu's face was filled with smiles, and he sincerely wished: "Dad, I, your eldest son, wish you good fortune as majestic as the East Mountain."
Zhou Yong's eyes sparkled with tears of emotion and he nodded gently. Li Jingen said with a smile on his face: "Dad, I wish you a long and healthy life, happiness as vast as the East Sea, and a life as long as the Southern Mountains."
After Li Jingen finished speaking, Zhou Kexin and Zhou Kerou gave their blessings and waited for the two sisters to finish speaking. Li Jingan stepped forward, and the boy knelt down in front of Zhou Yong, kowtowed and said, "Dad, I wish you to live longer than a turtle."
As soon as Li Jingan said this, everyone was petrified and their expressions became disheveled.
Li Baotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Gang Pao, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I tell you to say "Fu Shou Shuang Jian"? Why did you change the words yourself?"
Li Jingan knelt in front of Zhou Yong. The boy stared at him with two innocent eyes and said confidently: "Master, didn't you say that a thousand-year-old turtle lives ten thousand years? And you also said that turtles live the longest..."
Li Baotian seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and his face gradually showed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He put his hands to his face for a moment, then laughed.
Zhou Yong picked up the confused Li Jingan and said, "Don't worry, Dad will be more tenacious than a turtle."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Li Jingan looked at everyone and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Yong held Li Jingan and asked everyone to take a seat.
The family sat together, and Zhou Yong's eyes swept gently across the faces of his five children.
He didn't expect that the children would prepare such a big surprise for him. In addition to being touched, he felt more relieved.
"Where's Sister Jiang?"
Everyone was seated, except Jiang Yue'e.
“Here I come.”
Jiang Yue'e brought out a bowl of freshly cooked longevity noodles from the kitchen.
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Jiang."
Jiang Yue'e smiled and responded: "Why am I working so hard? Caiyun rolled the noodles in advance, I just cooked them..."
Zhou Yong looked at the table full of dishes and realized that they were all carefully prepared by Li Caiyun for him.
He couldn't help but hold his wife's hand under the table. Li Caiyun looked at him with a smile.
"Blow out the candles."
Zhou Yong responded, and Li Jingchu stood up: "Dad, wait a minute, we haven't taken a picture yet!"
The family took a group photo. Zhou Yong took a photo holding the cake and another one with Li Caiyun.
Afterwards, Zhou Yong took a photo with his five children, a family of seven, and he took a photo with his father-in-law and mother-in-law...
"Everyone please stop taking pictures, the candles are almost burned out..."
As Zhang Guifang finished her words, everyone's eyes focused on the food in front of them. Indeed, the candle originally inserted in the cake had burned down to only a small faint piece.
Everyone returned to the dining table. At the request of several children, Zhou Yong closed his eyes, made a wish, and then blew out the candles.
"Dad, are you happy?"
Zhou Yong nodded, his face filled with unconcealable joy: "Dad is very happy."
Zhou Kerou smiled and said, "Dad, since you are happy, can we be exempted from writing the 500-word self-review?"
Zhou Yong paused for a moment, and swept his eyes across Zhou Kerou's cunning face. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and uttered a few words: "Okay, I'll exempt you from all that."
The four children cheered, and Li Caiyun said with a smile: "Let's eat!"
Li Jingan's chopsticks went towards the cake, Zhou Kexin coughed, and the boy immediately retracted his hand.
"Li Jingan, Dad should have the first bite of cake. You took the first bite. Not only is it impolite, but it's also disrespectful to Dad..."
