Chapter 60 Why did Zhou Yong recommend me to join the team?
Li Baotian had considered promoting Li Hongjun before, but because Zhou Yong became a timekeeper, he did not promote his nephew.
The main reason is that they are afraid of what others will say. There are limited positions in a brigade. Now Li Baotian is thinking of removing Li Ming. If Li Hongjun is promoted, no one will say anything.
However, in this way, Zhou Yong is still not considered a village cadre, and his treatment has not changed in any way.
However, Zhou Yong is still young, and it would be a good thing for him to train before joining the team.
Li Baotian thought: "If that's the case, do you feel wronged?"
It is unacceptable for most people that they don't get any benefits from all the hard work.
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Dad, I do these things to support your work, not for any credit..."
Li Baotian was so moved that he patted Zhou Yong on the shoulder and said, "I knew I was right about him."
Zhou Yong changed the topic and talked to Li Baotian about Ma San's desire to teach in a school.
Li Baotian did not say anything about this matter. It was mainly Zhou Yong who spoke up. He knew Ma San's character well.
Giving him a stable job, Li Baotian believed that Ma San would definitely cherish this opportunity.
"Dad, I want to thank you on behalf of Ma San. When he comes back, I will ask him to come and thank you in person..."
Li Baotian shook his head and smiled: "That's not necessary, Ma San is a very pitiful child."
That's what happened. As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Guifang and Li Caiyun, mother and daughter, began to cook dinner.
Zhou Yong was also busy. The water tank at home was empty, so he went to fetch water while Li Baotian swept the yard.
Everyone has their own things to do, and the busy life makes everyone feel at ease.
The water tank was filled with water, and Zhou Yong raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
For dinner, we had stewed chicken and scrambled eggs with leeks, and the staple food was rice.
"Look at your mother. She killed the chicken when she saw you coming back. I wanted to eat a chicken yesterday but she refused to kill it..."
Zhang Guifang picked up the two big chicken legs from the vegetable bowl and gave them to Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun respectively.
"Why are you so greedy? If you want to eat it, go catch it yourself in the mountains."
Li Baotian glared and said, "Don't forget, the chicken was given to me by Hong Jun as a gift!"
To honor you?
Zhang Guifang raised her eyebrows: "Then I'll go ask Hong Jun?"
Li Baotian was frustrated and looked so angry that Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun laughed out loud at the same time.
Zhang Guifang glared at her husband: "How old are you? You're still fighting with children for food. Aren't you ashamed..."
Li Baotian said just that. If he really wanted to eat the chicken, how could Zhang Guifang be reluctant to give it up?
The family of four were having dinner with laughter and joy when Li Hongjun arrived.
Zhou Yong greeted his brother-in-law Li Hongjun with a smile, which immediately made him stunned.
What is going on?
Li Hongjun’s voice.
Li Baotian looked at his nephew: "Hong Jun, Zhou Yong is talking to you!"
Li Hongjun came back to his senses and curled his lips: "I've eaten, you guys eat."
After he said this, he glanced at Zhou Yong, then sat down on the stool in a daze.
Li Baotian held up his bowl and asked, "Are you here to hang out? Or do you have something to do?"
As long as Zhou Yong is at home, Li Hongjun will not visit him easily.
Li Hongjun scratched his head: "Uncle San, let me ask the security team when they will organize everyone to go hunting."
Li Baotian took a mouthful of rice and spoke incoherently: "You ask me about this? You should ask Cao Biao."
Li Hongjun went to look for Cao Biao, but it was a wasted trip.
The Cao family didn't know where Cao Biao had gone, so Li Hongjun stopped by to ask his third uncle, who was the village chief.
Li Baotian swallowed his food and said, "Why are you so anxious to ask about hunting? Why are you short of money?"
Li Hongjun sighed: "Uncle San, I am not short of money, it is Caixia who has no money to spend..."
Li Caixia is lucky to have a good mother-in-law. If she had a wrong one, it would have been a disaster.
She has to go back to her parents' home to beg for money all the time. How many of her family members can stand it for a long time?
Li Baotian frowned: "When will you stop helping her like this? She has to live her life on her own..."
Li Hongjun frowned: "Uncle San, no matter what, we are siblings. I will help her if I can. If I don't have the ability, I can't do anything..."
Zhang Guifang continued, "Didn't Caixia just go back home a few days ago? It's only been a few days, how come she has no money to spend again?"
Li Hongjun spoke with difficulty: "Third Aunt, you don't know the situation of Caixia's family. No one from her husband's family can be relied on. Caixia has to raise the child by herself..."
Zhang Guifang sighed and said nothing more.
Li Caiyun continued, "Brother, my sister Xia is too cowardly. She lets her husband's family bully her. Can't she resist? I want to see what they can do to my sister."
Li Baotian glared at his daughter and said, "Eat your meal and stop causing trouble here."
Li Hongjun pursed his lips and said, "You two sisters are equally matched, so don't say anything about each other."
Zhou Yong, who had just put down his bowl and chopsticks, touched his nose and thought: Is he implying something about me?
What Li Hongjun said makes sense. The Li sisters are both stubborn.
Take Li Caixia for example. Even though her husband doesn't care about her, she still lives with him wholeheartedly.
Li Caiyun is no exception. In modern terms, she is a love-brained person.
Fortunately, Li Caiyun has finally gotten her reward after all the suffering she has endured, but as for when Li Caixia will be able to get through this, no one knows.
Li Baotian glared at his nephew and then looked at his son-in-law's expression.
Seeing that Zhou Yong was still cheerful, I felt relieved.
Li Caiyun rolled her eyes at her cousin and said, "Brother, why are you bringing up my sister Xia's affairs?"
Li Hongjun smiled and said, "It's okay if I said something wrong, right?"
Zhou Yong got off the ground and then left the house. When he left, Li Hongjun asked, "Uncle San, why did Zhou Yong take the initiative to talk to me?"
Li Baotian thought his nephew was crazy: "Is it wrong to talk to you first?"
Li Hongjun didn't mean that, he just felt it was unbelievable. After all, they had fought each other when they met before, and now Zhou Yong's attitude towards him had reversed 360 degrees, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
As Li Baotian was talking, he went downstairs, and Zhang Guifang and her daughter cleaned up the dishes.
When he mentioned to his nephew that Zhou Yong recommended him to join the brigade, Li Hongjun was completely stunned.
"Did you hear me?"
"Uncle San, what did you say?"
Li Baotian glared at Li Hongjun and repeated what he had said before.
Li Hongjun was sure that he was not hallucinating, so he asked the question in his mind: "Uncle San, why did Zhou Yong recommend me to join the team?"
Li Baotian smiled and said, "Uncle San, I'll tell you the truth. I wanted Zhou Yong to join the team before, but he didn't want to. He still didn't want to do it when I brought it up again, so I recommended you..."
After listening to his third uncle's words, Li Hongjun felt like he was on a roller coaster.
"Uncle San, I always target Zhou Yong, why is he still speaking well of me?"
Li Baotian smiled and said: "What does this prove? It proves that Zhou Yong is not a petty person, but a gentleman.
And he never took the arguments you had in the past to heart.
But you, every time you see him, you are so weird, I have told you so many times, don't be like that, Zhou Yong is the son-in-law of the third uncle, you are so stubborn..."
