Chapter 75 Li Hongjun recruits Zhou Yong
Zhou Yong closed the book and looked at Li Caiyun who was lying on the kang.
"What is she doing here?"
He didn't even ask Li Caiyun what she wanted to say, but asked Cui Shufen why she came first.
Li Caiyun looked at him and told him the whole story.
The more Zhou Yong listened, the angrier he became. He was not angry at Li Caiyun, but at his mother.
"Are you angry?"
Zhou Yong shook his head and pulled her into his arms: "I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with her."
The "she" he was referring to was Cui Shufen, and Li Caiyun knew it clearly.
"I'm glad you're not mad at me."
Zhou Yong patted her on the back, his tone somewhat gloomy: "Don't pay attention to her, she can say whatever she wants."
Li Caiyun nodded and said to herself, "Afterwards, my mother scolded me and said I shouldn't have said that."
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes slightly. Without asking the reason, he could guess what Zhang Guifang was thinking.
"Why are you silent?"
Zhou Yong rubbed his chin against her forehead: "What did you say?"
Li Caiyun raised her little face and looked at Zhou Yong who was unhappy: "Don't be unhappy."
Zhou Yong smiled softly: "Don't think too much, I'm not unhappy."
Some things, even after experiencing them once, when facing them again, Zhou Yong realized that he still couldn't let them go.
"By the way, I wanted to work in the brigade, but my mother refused..."
Zhou Yong looked at Li Caiyun who was chattering nonstop, and smiled after listening to her words.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Yong said: "Your man won't let you go hungry, so you don't need to go out to work."
Li Caiyun pouted: "I know you are capable, but I can't just sit at home all day. It's good to earn some pocket money..."
Zhou Yong pinched her cheek and said, "Aren't you anxious to have a baby? Are you not going to have one anymore?"
Li Caiyun froze and said, "Having children conflicts with making money."
Can't she still go to work as usual while she is pregnant? It’s not like pregnant women can’t work.
Besides, she isn’t pregnant yet, and we don’t know when she’ll give birth!
Zhou Yong said confidently: "I got pregnant without any preparation. After all, I tried so hard to sow seeds, there is no reason why I can't get pregnant..."
Li Caiyun was stunned: "Can I get pregnant?"
Zhou Yong felt that it should be about the same. After all, they were young and in good health. Even if they couldn't get pregnant this month, they could still get pregnant next month.
"You can get pregnant, just believe me."
Li Caiyun sniffed and touched her flat belly with one hand: "I hope I can get pregnant. If I get pregnant this month, the due date in April..."
Zhou Yong pinched her chin and lifted her up: "Xiao Yun, do you know that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman? Aren't you afraid at all?"
Li Caiyun's eyes were full of smiles: "What's so scary? Don't women have to give birth to children?"
Zhou Yong: “…?”
He was wrong. He shouldn't have said such things to someone who was traditional and conservative at heart.
"We should have more children while we are still young. We can't be like me, without even a brother or sister..."
Li Caiyun's words to herself stabbed Zhou Yong invisibly.
He has three younger brothers and two younger sisters, so what?
Zhou Yong's thoughts drifted away, and Li Caiyun closed her eyes while talking.
Zhou Yong left home at around one o'clock. Li Caiyun was sleeping when he left.
There were so many things to do in the team in the afternoon that Zhou Yong was so busy that he had no time to rest.
"Captain, this is the list of people who went to work yesterday."
Zhou Yong took the list and glanced at it: "Submit the work list every three days, not just one day..."
There are too many things happening in the team recently and Zhou Yong is simply unable to take care of them all.
Recording work is a meticulous job and it is easy to make mistakes if you are not focused.
Li Ming nodded: "Captain, I understand."
Zhou Yong saw him leaving: "If you see Li Hongjun, ask him to come to my place."
Li Ming responded, and Zhou Yong put the work list into the drawer. Before he could get up, Li Hongjun came.
"You looking for me?"
Zhou Yong nodded: "Brother, find a few people who are good at hunting, and we will go into the mountains tomorrow..."
Li Hongjun responded and asked, "Will you come back tomorrow? If not, I will ask everyone to prepare dry food..."
Zhou Yong thought for a while: "If I can't come back that day, I estimate it will take three to five days..."
They went in to hunt on the one hand, but mainly to eliminate hidden dangers for the villagers.
"Are you going tomorrow too?"
"Well, I'll go with you."
Li Hongjun looked back and made sure there was no one around. He approached Zhou Yong and lowered his voice, "Zhou Yong, I can't go into the mountain tomorrow. My brother-in-law is coming to pick up the goods. Is the day after tomorrow okay?"
Zhou Yong glanced at the nervous Li Hongjun and asked, "How much money can you make from one shipment?"
Li Hongjun pursed his lips: "About one hundred and forty or five hundred"
Zhou Yong gave a thumbs up: "How long have you been tinkering with this thing?"
Li Hongjun cleared his throat: "Not much time, just over a year."
Generally he ships goods once every three months, but even so he still earns five to six hundred yuan a year.
Don't underestimate these five or six hundred yuan. Most people can't save up that much money even if they tighten their belts for three to five years.
Zhou Yong was jealous of Li Hongjun and thought: Look at him and then look at my past self, there is really no comparison.
As Li Hongjun spoke, he reached into his pocket, took out a wad of money and stuffed it into Zhou Yong's trouser pocket.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Li Hongjun smiled and said, "Everyone can spend the money if they have it, just take it."
Zhou Yong thought: Is this hush money?
Li Hongjun spoke the truth after drinking. He didn't remember anything this morning. It was his wife who reminded him. He regretted it so much at that time.
If this matter spreads out in the village, the Li brothers will definitely be arrested and made examples. How will they survive in the village in the future?
After much thought, Li Hongjun came up with the idea of getting Zhou Yong to join the gang, so that he wouldn't be afraid of the news being spread.
Zhou Yong has a good relationship with the people in the public security brigade. If Li Hongjun is reported by someone, he can inform the public security brigade and get away with it.
Li Hongjun is not stupid, otherwise how could he give money to Zhou Yong for no reason?
Some things are tacitly understood.
"Brother, you don't need to do this to me. Take the money back."
Zhouyong didn't count the money, but he estimated the thickness to be about a hundred yuan by feeling it.
Li Hongjun said he didn't want anything and put the money back into his pocket: "Take it, I will give you a share of the money every time I ship goods..."
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "Brother, this is inappropriate. I get paid for everything I do. Isn't this making me feel guilty?"
Li Hongjun kept his eyes on the door to prevent anyone from hearing their conversation.
"What's there to feel guilty about? That's how it is. If you're busy, I'll do my part, too."
Zhou Yong was about to speak when Sun Qing came in, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Sun Qing and Li Hongjun nodded to each other, and one went in while the other went out.
Zhou Yong put one hand in his pocket, holding a wad of money and looked at Sun Qing.
"Captain, this is the report you asked me to compile."
Zhou Yong took the account book and put it on the desk: "Okay, I got it, you go ahead and get busy!"
Sun Qing raised his hand and scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "Captain, why do you want me to count how many houses there are in the village?"
Zhou Yong is certainly useful, but we can’t tell you now.
Sun Qing went to do something, and Zhou Yong was about to sit down when Accountant Sun came in in a hurry.
