Chapter 364: He is not home for ten days or half a month
Li Caiyun collected the gifts one by one. Zhou Yong sat down and chatted with Wan Shengli. At this time, Li Baotian came back from his post.
"Uncle Li, what's wrong with your face?"
Li Baotian glanced at Zhou Yong and said with a smile: "Don't mention it. He slipped and fell while walking on the road at night."
Wan Shengli frowned: "Did you fall? The wound on your face looks more like you were beaten."
He was a soldier and was very familiar with various injuries, so Li Baotian's words aroused his suspicion.
Li Baotian pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I am an old man, who would hit me?"
Wan Shengli didn't believe it and looked at Zhou Yong: "Brother Zhou, how did Uncle Li get the scar on his face?"
Zhou Yong thought for a few seconds, then glanced at his father-in-law's face and said, "He just fell."
Wan Shengli was skeptical, and only then did he realize that he had not seen Zhang Guifang since he entered the room.
Li Baotian gave him the answer, saying that Zhang Guifang fell and accidentally broke her leg.
Wan Shengli raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Li, isn't this too much of a coincidence? One of you got a black eye and the other broke his leg?"
Li Baotian smiled softly: "That's how it is, don't worry about it."
Wan Shengli's gaze shifted to Zhou Yong. He really wanted to know what had happened to the Li family.
But neither Li Baotian nor Zhou Yong wanted to cause trouble for Wan Shengli because of their own affairs.
Therefore, no matter how Wan Shengli asked, Zhou Yong, Li Baotian and others did not tell the truth.
Finally, Li Baotian had no choice but to lie after being questioned by Wan Shengli, saying that he had a physical conflict with his brother. As for Zhang Guifang, he bit her to death because of a broken leg.
Wan Shengli believed it to be true, and the matter was over.
"Uncle Li, Brother Zhou, it's getting late. I have to go back."
Every time Wan Shengli came, he was in a hurry. Nine times out of ten, he was here on a mission and stopped by to visit the Li family.
Knowing that he had a mission to complete, Zhou Yong and Li Baotian didn't want to keep him for dinner before leaving.
Li Caiyun went to the warehouse and packed some mushrooms, black fungus, Hericium erinaceus and dried ferns for Wan Shengli.
Wan Shengli didn't hesitate and drove away from Li's house with various mountain products.
The car drove away, and Zhou Yong walked into the yard while talking to Li Baotian and Li Caiyun.
"Xiaoyun, why didn't I see the children when I came back?"
Li Caiyun checked the time: "They are doing their homework at Masanjia. They will probably be back soon."
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "Why do you go to Masanjia to do your homework?"
Zhou Yong was not at home during this period. He returned briefly yesterday and left in a hurry. He had no idea what happened to the children.
Li Caiyun smiled and said, "Next year, Niuniu, Goudan and Gousheng will take the high school entrance exam. Ma San is reviewing their lessons for them. As for Nan Nan, Ma San is tutoring her in math..."
Zhou Yong said "oh" and frowned slightly: "Is Nan Nan's math grades very bad recently?"
Li Caiyun glanced at Zhou Yong who asked this question: "What is your daughter's math score? Don't you know it yourself?"
Zhou Yong coughed lightly, and his eyes swept across Li Caiyun's slightly dissatisfied face.
He knew in his heart that Li Caiyun was unhappy because he was not at home for a long time.
Li Baotian frowned: "If you have something to say, please talk nicely. Why are you speaking so harshly?"
Li Caiyun pursed her lips and said nothing, so Zhou Yong changed the subject.
The three of them entered the house, Li Caiyun walked towards the bedroom, Zhou Yong took a look and hurriedly followed.
Li Caiyun glared at Zhou Yong and asked, "Is this home like a guesthouse to you?"
Zhou Yong held his wife's hand and looked at Li Caiyun who was acting like a spoiled brat: "How is that possible?"
"You still say it's impossible? He doesn't come home for ten days or half a month at any time."
Zhou Yong secretly raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of smiles: "Didn't I go to study? Are you not happy about this? Then I won't go next time, okay?"
Li Caiyun curled her lips and changed the subject: "So what did you do last night?"
Zhou Yong lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I ask my elder brother to tell you something? There's something going on at Brother Chen's house, so I'm going to help."
Li Caiyun rolled her eyes and spoke without thinking: "Helping you all night?"
Li Hongjun only told Li Caiyun that Zhou Yong went to Chen Pingliang's house, but did not say whether he would come back in the evening.
Therefore, Li Caiyun mistakenly thought that her man would come back, so she couldn't sleep well, for fear that Zhou Yong would come back and knock on the door and she would not hear him.
"I drank too much last night and stayed at Brother Chen's house."
Li Caiyun pulled her hand back and ignored Zhou Yong angrily.
As soon as he saw it, he hurried to coax his wife, saying that this was a matter of lack of consideration on his part.
Li Caiyun is easy to coax even when she is angry. She is not the kind of woman who is stubborn.
Zhou Yong coaxed Li Caiyun, and the couple stayed in the house for a while, and then they went to Ma Sanjia to pick up the five children.
The five children were particularly happy to see Zhou Yong, and Li Jingan threw himself on him excitedly.
Having not seen his children for more than half a month, Zhou Yong gazed at his children. His eyes were full of fatherly love as he scanned their young faces one by one.
"Dad, hug me."
Zhou Yong bent down and picked up the chubby little Li Jingan. As soon as he got his hands on him, wow, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Son, you've gained weight again."
Zhou Yong weighed Li Jing'an and felt that he had gained at least ten pounds during the time he was away from home.
Ma San smiled and continued: "Brother Zhou, he had three bowls of rice, a chicken leg and two sardines at noon..."
These days, Li Jingan seems to be stuck in Masanjia. If Li Caiyun doesn't come to pick him up, this kid doesn't know how to go home.
The main reason is that there is no one to play with him when he goes home, but at Ma San he can play with Ma Yuan.
Zhou Yong smiled: "No wonder you've gained so much weight."
Liu Juan looked at Li Jingan with a smile: "Gang Pao has a really good appetite. It would be great if Yuan Yuan could be like that too."
Ma Yuan is a very picky eater and cannot live without meat, but she can't eat much, so this little girl is not fat at all.
Ma San picked up Ma Yuan, and the little girl looked at them with her big eyes blinking.
Zhou Yong liked Ma Yuan very much from the bottom of his heart and couldn't help teasing her.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun took their five children back home.
Li Jingan was skipping and walking in the front, Li Jingchu and Li Jingen were walking on Zhou Yong's left and right, and the sisters Zhou Kexin and Zhou Kerou were holding Li Caiyun's arms on the left and right.
The family of seven chatted and laughed as they arrived home. As soon as they opened the door to the outer room, Li Jingan sniffed and said, "What a nice smell!"
After entering the house, he didn't even bother to take off his hat and hands, and ran to the dining table.
Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun were so amused by this scene. Li Baotian sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "You greedy boy, your nose is like a dog's nose!"
Li Jing'an took off his hat and gloves with a smile, went to wash his hands, went to see Zhang Guifang, and then returned to the dining table.
The Li family has a rich dinner tonight, with four meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and the staple foods are rice and steamed buns.
Zhou Yong looked at the food on the table and felt warm in his heart. Although his family’s meals were good on weekdays, they were not too extravagant.
Normally there are four dishes in the evening, but the reason why there are six dishes today is because Zhou Yong came back, and he knows this very well.
Zhou Yong glanced at Li Caiyun's face and picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her bowl.
Li Caiyun said in a gentle tone: "You eat, I can do it myself."
Zhou Yong responded, and Li Jingchu looked outside unintentionally: "Dad, my uncle Cao is here."
