Chapter 394 There are Thousands of Paths in Life
With the help of his cousin Wan Shengli, Wu Peng was released on January 26th.
Because Wu Peng's behavior of revenge was extremely bad, the school expelled him, a result he had expected.
At the end of January, Wu Peng compensated his ex-girlfriend 10,000 yuan for medical expenses, and that afternoon Zhou Yong and three others set out on their journey home.
On the way back, Wu Peng remained silent. Looking at the expression on his face, Zhou Yong couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder.
“There are thousands of paths in life, and studying is just one of them, not the only way out.”
Wu Peng pursed his lips and his eyes instantly turned red. Zhou Yong advised him: "Don't take this matter to heart. Your uncle will arrange for you to work in the brigade later..."
Wu Peng could have had a bright future, but because of improper handling of emotional matters, this emotional dispute occurred.
Wu Peng did not blame others for all this, but blamed himself for being too impulsive. He not only ruined his own future, but also ruined the rest of his ex-girlfriend's life.
Whenever Wu Peng thought of these things, he regretted his decision and felt even more guilty towards his mother.
Seeing Wu Peng in a daze, Li Hongjun couldn't help but remind his nephew: "Dapeng, why don't you thank your uncle quickly?"
With Zhou Yong's words, Wu Peng would not have to farm even if he returned to the village.
In Li Hongjun's opinion, with his eldest nephew's academic qualifications, he would definitely be able to become a department manager.
Zhou Yong shook his head gently: "Brother, we are a family, what are you thanking me for?"
It must be said that Wu Peng was a relatively sensible child, but fate played a trick on him and made him miss out on a bright future.
Li Hongjun glanced at the dejected Wu Peng and couldn't help nagging: "You kid, you have to work hard in the future. For your sake, your mother took out all her savings..."
In addition to taking out all her savings, Li Caixia also raised several thousand yuan for her son.
Wu Peng listened to his uncle's words, feeling remorseful and tears flowing uncontrollably.
Li Hongliang sighed: "Brother, please stop talking about those things. Dapeng is not a child anymore, what doesn't he understand?"
Li Hongjun shut up, and everyone gradually looked out the window.
The green train stopped and started, and they arrived in the provincial capital in the evening of February 1st, the day of the Chinese New Year.
There was no bus back to Qingmu County, so the four of them stayed overnight in a guesthouse in the provincial capital.
The next day, Zhou Yong did not rush back, but took Wu Peng and gifts to the Wan family to express his gratitude.
When Wan Rong saw Zhou Yong, for some reason, the little girl was so intimate with him that even Wan Shengli was jealous.
Zhou Yong held Wan Rong in his arms. The little girl smiled happily in his arms and hugged his neck from time to time to act coquettishly.
Wan Shengli was stimulated by this scene and forcibly took his daughter from Zhou Yong's arms. Wan Rong immediately burst into tears.
Kong Qiaoyun was amused by this scene, and Wan Shengli hurriedly put Wan Rong into Zhou Yong's arms.
Zhou Yong wiped the tears from his goddaughter, and the little girl hugged his neck and refused to let go.
Wan Shengli couldn't bear to watch this scene, but Kong Qiaoyun looked at them happily.
At around eight o'clock, Zhou Yong prepared to leave, and Wan Rong kept crying.
Wan Shengli glanced at Zhou Yong and said, "Don't come to my house if you have nothing to do. Every time you come, Yaya will make a fuss for several days..."
Zhou Yong bared his teeth: "This proves that she is my daughter."
Wan Shengli rolled his eyes, the two chatted for a while, and then Zhou Yong took Wu Peng back.
Then Zhou Yong went to visit Guo Xiangqian and his son alone with gifts, and then he went to visit Huo Yan's home.
The four of them took the last bus back to Qingmu County. When they got home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
When Wu Peng saw Li Caixia, he fell to his knees, tears as big as beans falling down his face.
Li Caixia helped her son up, while Wu Peng lowered his head and began to cry.
This scene made everyone feel sad, and Li Caixia couldn't help crying.
Zhang Guifang sighed: "Don't cry, it's better than anything else for the child to come back safely."
When Li Caixia learned that Wu Peng was facing imprisonment, she fainted.
At that time, all she prayed for was that her son would return safely. As for other things, she no longer dared to have any extravagant requests.
Li Caixia wiped her tears and nodded, while Li Caiyun on the side hurriedly arranged for everyone to eat.
After dinner, they all went back home one by one, and Zhou Yong yawned and went back to the bedroom.
A dreamless night. The next day was the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. While having breakfast, Zhou Yong went to buy New Year's goods.
The five children cheered happily, and Li Caiyun said incoherently: "Didn't you say that we would have a donkey feast for the New Year this year?"
Zhou Yong remembered this incident, and he said with a smile: "I have asked someone to buy donkey meat, and I guarantee that you will have a full donkey feast..."
Everyone laughed and after breakfast, the family of nine dressed neatly and strolled to Hongqi Township.
The supply and marketing cooperative and the market were crowded with people, and Zhou Yong and his family kept shuttling among the crowd.
Li Caiyun bought several kilograms of dried vegetables and a few ounces of dried shrimps, and the children bought various snacks.
Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian looked left and right, bought two bags of things, and also bought some other fruits.
While they were shopping at the market, Zhou Yong went to the slaughterhouse.
Zhou Yong bought dozens of kilograms of beef and mutton, four pieces of ribs, some pig's trotters, and some pig intestines and stomachs. In short, he spent more than 300 yuan at the slaughterhouse and left.
The family came with nothing and hired two horse-drawn carriages when they left.
On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wan Shengli and Huo Yan called the brigade one after another. They brought seafood to Zhou Yong on the same bus and asked him to pick it up at the county bus station in the afternoon.
Wow, four boxes of crabs, four boxes of shrimps, four boxes of scallops, four boxes of oysters, four boxes of squids, four boxes of abalone, and four boxes of sea bass.
Zhou Yong thought that was the end of it, but Wan Shengli also brought him two boxes of good wine and some good cigarettes. The same went for Huo Yan. Looking at the pile of duplicate gifts, he even doubted whether the two people had agreed on the gifts.
The fact is, Wan Shengli and Huo Yan did not know each other. The reason why the gifts were repeated was mainly because there were basically only so many types of seafood, and there were only a few good cigarettes and good wines on the market, so if they were bought over and over again, they would become repetitive.
Zhou Yong hired a carriage and sent some seafood to Chen Pingliang's home. He also left him two bottles of good wine and two packs of good cigarettes.
Naturally, Director Zheng, Director Yuan, Yuan Dacheng and the head of the Highway Bureau could not be dragged down. Zhou Yong ran around for the whole morning to deliver gifts, and in the afternoon he delivered some seafood to the families of Cao Biao, Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang respectively.
Li Hongjun was freezing in the carriage, and Zhou Yong came out from Xing Laoqi. He asked, "Where else are we going?"
"go home."
Li Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and tightened his clothes. Zhou Yong got on the carriage. The driver raised the whip and the carriage slowly headed towards Huaixi Village, Hongqi Township.
When they got home, Zhou Yong gave some seafood to Li Hongjun, and then asked the children to deliver some seafood to Ma San, Zhou Ling, Li Hongliang, Sun Qing, Li Ming, and Li Caixia's families.
The children left home one by one carrying the seafood, and Zhou Yong left some seafood for Jiang Yue'e and Guan Shuqing.
"Look at my memory. I actually forgot about Mayor Lu..."
Interpersonal relationships need to be carefully maintained. Only in this way, when you encounter problems, you will have friends and relatives to help you.
Before it got dark, Zhou Yong took some seafood and two bottles of good wine and went to Old Lu's house.
