Chapter 37: Fearless Spirit
"Village chief, are you really going to the mountains to hunt?"
Li Baotian nodded: "Of course? Otherwise, there's nothing to worry about."
Cao Biao smiled and wanted to follow him up the mountain, but Xing Laoqi stopped him.
"Captain, go check on Bai Jie. She's making a scene again..."
Cao Biao frowned: "Fuck, she's not done yet, is she? If she doesn't want to live, let her die."
Although he said so, Cao Biao still followed Xing Laoqi back because it was his duty.
There was no one else. Li Baotian looked at Zhou Yong and said, "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
He did suffer injustice, after all, everything Zhou Yong did was apparently for Huaixi Village, but actually it was for himself.
But he couldn't say that. Zhou Yong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Dad, it's hard to be a good person."
Li Baotian echoed: "Yes, the road of revolution is very difficult, but Dad believes in you. With your ability, you will definitely be able to find a smooth road..."
He is not flattering his son-in-law, but Zhou Yong really has the ability.
Zhou Yong smiled, and Li Baotian said to himself: "Dong Fu is a man who likes to show off. Now that I have handed this mess to him, it will be enough for him to drink a pot..."
Dong Fu is now in a dilemma. He took the initiative to take over the matter. Li Baotian did not ask about it and waited to see how he would face Secretary Zhang when he went to the commune.
Don’t forget there is also Xu Jianmin. Can he say something good for Dong Fu?
Xu Jianmin didn't even need to add any exaggeration. He just needed to tell Secretary Zhang exactly what happened and he would know what was right and what was wrong.
If things go wrong, Dong Fu might even lose his position as the team leader of the production team, provided that Secretary Zhang is not acquainted with his cousin.
After listening to Li Baotian's analysis, Zhou Yong admired his father-in-law very much, but at the same time he felt that his father-in-law was quite sinister.
Li Baotian tricked Dong Fu, leaving him speechless and unable to speak. He had to swallow his anger.
At this time, Accountant Sun caught up and stopped Li Baotian.
Seeing this, Zhou Yong said to his father-in-law, "Dad, I'm going home first."
Li Baotian nodded, then shook his head: "Don't go home yet. Bai Jie is in the small dark room now, Lao Gao is gone, and the literacy center is short of staff. You go there for two days..."
Zhou Yong raised his hand and touched his nose. He didn't expect that he would end up teaching at the literacy center again.
He responded, turned and walked towards the literacy training point, coming face to face with Accountant Sun.
"Zhou Yong, what are you doing?"
When Zhou Yong told the story, Accountant Sun stamped his feet and said, "Don't go to substitute class for now. Dong Fu has fainted. You have to go to the commune..."
Fainted?
Fainted with anger?
impossible! !
Is this old guy Dong Fu pretending to be unconscious?
This cowardly behavior is quite consistent with his character.
Zhou Yong was very smart and he figured out the truth after just a little thought.
Accountant Sun pulled Zhou Yong back. When Li Baotian learned that Dong Fu had fainted, he said, "Dong Fu fainted at the right time."
"Village chief, please don't bother with him. We have to focus on the important matters."
Zhou Yong looked at Li Baotian, and Accountant Sun sighed and said again: "I am also old. If it is not for the sake of the whole village, why would I jump up and down? After persuading you, I persuaded Zhou Yong and then Xu Jianmin. What do you think I want?"
Li Baotian looked at Accountant Sun and knew that he was only thinking about the villagers.
"Accountant Sun, thank you for your hard work."
Accountant Sun waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if I work hard, as long as I can get the job done, even if it costs me my life."
Zhou Yong looked at Accountant Sun with an expression of admiration.
Not everyone can do what Accountant Sun did. To be honest, everyone has selfish desires.
But when he learned that there was an opportunity to sell mountain products, Accountant Sun took out the ginseng, deer antlers and Ganoderma lucidum from his home without thinking.
Although it will be returned later, most people would not do such a straightforward thing.
After all, no matter what era, these three medicinal materials are not cheap.
Zhou Yong originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing what Accountant Sun said, he couldn't say no.
The older generation has feelings for the village and hopes that every household has a good life, so they would rather sacrifice themselves for the benefit of everyone.
It was Accountant Sun's fearless spirit that moved Zhou Yong, so he silently swore in his heart that no matter whether it was for Li Baotian or for himself, or because of Accountant Sun, he would try his best to make one of the two things happen, so that when he returned he would have an explanation for his enthusiasm for Accountant Sun.
Zhou Yong's eyes gradually became firm, and he said, "Accountant Sun, don't worry, I will definitely bring back good news."
Accountant Sun smiled and nodded: "I believe you."
Li Baotian looked at Zhou Yong and said, "Just do your best and don't make things difficult for yourself."
Accountant Sun placed the hope of the whole village on Zhou Yong, but Li Baotian, as his father-in-law, asked his son-in-law to do things within his ability and all he wanted was safety.
Zhou Yong looked at them and nodded. Accountant Sun said, "Let's talk while we walk. Jianmin is still in the team!"
If Dong Fu hadn't intervened, Zhou Yong and his companions would have left the village long ago, and they would have probably walked more than half of the winding mountain road by now.
When they arrived at the brigade, Zhou Yong called Cao Biao, took the letter of introduction, and brought Ma San and Liu Dazhuang. Just as they were about to set off, Li Caiyun and Zhang Guifang arrived.
The mother and daughter were carrying a lot of things in their hands and walked into the brigade yard panting.
"Fortunately you didn't leave. Here are the dry food I prepared for you..."
Upon learning that Zhou Yong was going to the county town to meet with the leaders, Zhang Guifang and Li Caiyun, mother and daughter, started to get busy at home.
Zhang Guifang steamed a pot of steamed buns for Zhou Yong, boiled white eggs and salted duck eggs, and prepared pickles for him...
Li Caiyun found two sets of clothes for Zhou Yong to change into, and also brought him two pairs of shoes...
Zhou Yong looked at his young wife and mother-in-law, and he felt very upset.
Li Baotian smiled and said, "Zhou Yong is going to the county town, not a long trip. Do you two have to prepare so many things?"
Zhang Guifang glared at her man and said, "What do you know? Poor family but rich road, what does it cost to go out?"
Li Baotian shut up, and Accountant Sun looked at their family and smiled.
Zhou Yong took all the things and smiled at Li Caiyun who was embarrassed to come forward.
Zhang Guifang took out some money and purchase tickets from her pocket: "Take these and buy whatever you like. By the way, I heard that the food in the county restaurant is delicious. You can try it when the time comes..."
Zhou Yong looked at Zhang Guifang, who was always thinking about her, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"Mom, I have money and a purchase ticket..."
Zhang Guifang not only gave him purchase tickets, but also gave him a lot of food coupons.
Because these days when you go to a restaurant, you have to use a combination of money and food coupons.
Zhang Guifang smiled and said, "Mom knows you have it, but don't forget, you are going out with Secretary Zhang, we have to be a little more discerning..."
Zhou Yong nodded vigorously. Accountant Sun slapped his forehead, told Zhou Yong to wait, and went to the accounting office in a flash.
Soon Accountant Sun came back panting with money and a stack of food coupons. He stuffed them into Zhou Yong's hands without saying a word.
"Your mother is right. I am getting old and confused. We can't let Secretary Zhang pay for our meals. Take all of this. If it's not enough, you can pay for it first and come back to get reimbursed..."
The brigade had limited food coupons and money in its account, so Accountant Sun gave all the assets from Huaixi Village to Zhou Yong.
