Chapter 54: The hope of having a child is in vain
Even so, for most women of this era, it is still something they cannot accept.
Zhou Yong shrugged his shoulders: "How can you watch a movie with your hands covering your face?"
Li Caiyun blushed and put down her hand, looking forward: "Is this what you said is exciting?"
Zhou Yong raised his hand and touched his nose: "Hmm!"
Li Caiyun was not interested: "Have you been to a movie theater?"
If Zhou Yong had not been to a cinema, how would he know that such a thing would happen in a cinema?
But it doesn’t seem right?
Zhou Yong had very few opportunities to come to the county town, and every time he came, he was with other people. If they had seen a movie and told about it when they got back, the news would have spread throughout the village.
He knew that this little girl would be suspicious, so Zhou Yong had already thought of an excuse: "I heard it from others."
other people?
who?
Li Caiyun pouted and didn't ask any more questions, because she knew that Zhou Yong was not that kind of man.
Otherwise they wouldn't have not consummated their marriage until now.
Li Caiyun didn't say anything, just watched the movie in silence. Zhou Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly, secretly cursing himself for looking for trouble.
Just watch a movie, why bother yourself?
Zhou Yong glanced at Li Caiyun and his eyes fell on the big screen, but his mind was not on the movie.
Zhou Yong was in deep thought for sixty minutes during the more than ninety-minute movie. The lights in the cinema were turned on and the audience stood up in groups of three or five.
Zhou Yong protected Li Caiyun, and the two of them slowly walked out with the crowd.
When they got outside, Li Caiyun looked at the soda in her hand and said, "I was so focused on watching the movie that I forgot to drink it."
She didn't even bother to eat the melon seeds, let alone drink a sip of the soda.
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Want to take it back?"
Li Caiyun nodded, and Zhou Yong said, "Then take it back."
“But isn’t there a deposit for soda bottles?”
It doesn't say that the bottle must be returned on the same day. Wouldn't it be the same if I return it tomorrow?
Li Caiyun felt that what Zhou Yong said made sense, and she nodded her head, and the two of them walked back leisurely.
"The county town is so busy, but in the village at this time, there are no people on the road."
Zhou Yong looked around. Li Caiyun was talking lively, but it seemed a bit deserted to him.
The movie theater had just ended, and after this group of people left, there were hardly any people left on the street.
They strolled to the guesthouse. The receptionist heard footsteps, looked up at them, then looked away and continued reading the newspaper.
The two returned to their room, and Zhou Yong said, "You can take a shower at the guesthouse."
Li Caiyun was happy to hear this. Zhou Yong brought her a washbasin and a towel and sent her to the door of the women's bathroom.
Zhou Yong returned and fetched a pot of water. After finishing these things, he went to take a shower.
Men take showers quickly, and Zhou Yong came out of the men's bathroom in less than five minutes.
He sat on the bed and wiped his hair, and snoring came from next door.
Zhou Yong paused while wiping his hair, curled his lips, and thought: This big brother has really good sleep quality, his snoring is like thunder...
Even snoring can be heard clearly, which shows how poor the sound insulation in the room is.
Zhou Yong walked to the window casually, looked at the moon hanging in the sky, and his brows gradually frowned.
Under the leadership of the county party secretary, Huaixi Village reached a verbal cooperation agreement with the county agricultural bureau, but this required the production team leader Dong Fu to go to the agricultural bureau to discuss specific matters.
On the way back to the hospital, Cao Biao said that Dong Fu was a piece of shit and if he was asked to go, this thing would most likely fail.
They are not belittling Dong Fu, he really does not have the ability to get things done.
Zhou Yong had finally secured this opportunity for the village. Cao Biao suggested that if it didn't work out, he should discuss it with Li Baotian and then explain the situation to Secretary Zhang. If possible, Dong Fu should be allowed to retire.
Cao Biao said this for the sake of all the villagers in Huaixi Village, not targeting Dong Fu.
Zhou Yong understood his thoughts, but the problem was that Dong Fu had a cousin who worked at the Agricultural Technology Station as his backer, which made the matter difficult.
Originally, Zhou Yong wanted to test Secretary Zhang to see if he knew Dong Fu's cousin, and if so what if they did. Unfortunately, he never found a suitable opportunity to ask about this matter.
Zhou Yong frowned and reached his right hand into his trouser pocket. When he felt his pocket, he remembered that the cigarettes he bought this morning were taken away by Cao Biao on the way back to the hospital.
He smacked his lips, took his hand out of his trouser pocket and touched his nose, thinking about moving the mountain.
The county agreed to move the mountain in Huaixi Village, but due to financial constraints, they could only send a few blasting personnel, and the rest was up to the villagers themselves.
In fact, when the county leaders first learned that Huaixi Village wanted to move the mountain, the two senior leaders vetoed it. Secretary Zhang had mentioned this matter before at the meeting, and bringing up the old matter again showed the leaders' attitude.
It was Zhou Yong himself who proposed this plan, and Secretary Zhang spoke in his favor, and finally the leader reluctantly agreed to it.
Zhou Yong has put a lot of effort into these two things, and although they seem to have been accomplished for the time being, he does not know that there are still many problems that need to be solved.
Where are the stones transported after blasting?
The villagers are participating in the labor, so we can’t let them work for nothing, right?
Even if it's free work, no one will complain for a day or two, but what about over a long period of time?
Even if work points are not given, the team will still provide meals.
Although moving the mountain is for the economic development of the entire Huaixi Village, we should not forget that not everyone has the spirit of selfless dedication. If some people are lazy and make excuses not to work, everyone's enthusiasm will be gradually dampened over time.
Moreover, Secretary Zhang said that the commune has no money, so there is no need to think about getting help from the county.
Zhou Yong had a terrible headache. If possible, he didn't want to move the mountain.
But if the mountain is not moved away, it will be difficult to transport mountain products out of the village.
Zhou Yong rubbed his temple with one hand, feeling that it was too difficult to make money in this era. If it weren't for making up for Li Baotian and the future of Cao Biao and others, to be honest, he would have wanted to quit.
However, things had developed to this point and Zhou Yong could not afford to retreat.
It should be said that he never thought of backing down, he just felt a little tired of taking each step one by one.
With a creaking sound——
Li Caiyun came back with disheveled hair and a washbasin in her hand.
When Zhou Yong saw his young wife, he put his worries aside and drew the curtains.
Li Caiyun's little face is rosy while taking a bath, and she looks very cute and attractive.
Zhou Yong walked towards her with a smile. Li Caiyun put the washbasin under the small cabinet, stood up and was hugged by him.
Li Caiyun bit her lip and leaned quietly in Zhou Yong's arms, like a little rabbit!
Zhou Yong hugged her and picked up a towel to wipe her wet hair.
Li Caiyun felt very sweet inside and was happy.
Neither of them spoke, and the snoring from next door could be heard from time to time.
Zhou Yong wiped her hair and said, "The room is not soundproof at all. Just make do with it for one night. We will go home tomorrow..."
Li Caiyun bit her lip, feeling a little uneasy. She had come to Zhou Yong eagerly to have a baby, but her hope was dashed and she was unhappy.
She didn't say anything, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Zhou Yong wiped her hair until it was 70% dry, then went downstairs and hung up the towel.
"Unhappy?"
Li Caiyun hurriedly shook her head: "I'm not unhappy."
Still being stubborn?
The word "unhappy" was written all over her face!
Zhou Yong looked at Li Caiyun, who was saying one thing and thinking another, smiled, took off his clothes and went to bed.
Li Caiyun sat on the bed without moving. Zhou Yong smiled and pulled her into bed...
