Chapter 125 Old Thing
"There are indeed some important matters I need to discuss with you." Huo Jinzhi's voice was solemn, but gradually relaxed a little. "The cowshed has been in disrepair for a long time. I hope we can allocate some manpower to repair it properly."
"During the renovation period, please temporarily move the people inside out."
It is obvious that the real purpose of this statement is not the wine.
Commander Zhou didn't agree. He just looked at him inquiringly and asked, "Was it Captain Huo or Huo Jinzhi who brought up this matter?"
"Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhao have lived here for many years, and there is not much I can do to help. That's why I thought of giving it a try. If we can move them out, the old couple will live a better life." Huo Jinzhi looked at Commander Zhou's face and softened his tone a little.
This matter cannot be treated as an official business.
With layer after layer of procedures stuck, Uncle Zhao and his men were unable to move and were determined to die in this cowshed.
But rules are dead, people are alive, and by slightly adjusting the conditions, you can get what you want, and there is no need to make things too ridiculous.
"I know what you mean. I also want to be nice to them, but this is not something I can do simply because I want to. If the bullpen is destroyed, then I will have to help arrange it."
Commander Zhou shook his head. Having said this, he was almost pointing it out.
Although he didn't quite understand the situation in the village, seeing Huo Jinzhi's confident expression, he knew that he and the little girl must have had a tacit understanding long ago. He just didn't know why they didn't come together.
"I understand. The wind has been strong recently and the environment in the cowshed is very bad. If the house is really blown away, there is nothing we can do. We can only think about it first." Huo Jinzhi understood it immediately. Moreover, he couldn't let others do this.
Commander Zhou is just a coordinator. Asking him to help take the risk is extremely inhumane. They must bear all the mistakes.
In the middle of the night, a strong wind blew from the mountain, and as luck would have it, it completely destroyed the cowshed. The ground was covered with dead grass. Potato sat there crying loudly, and Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao could only pick up the dead grass nearby.
Seeing that crying was useless, Potato's eyes rolled around and he ran to the village chief's house early in the morning to cry. The noisy noise was annoying, and many people were not even awake yet.
The village chief's wife came out wearing a coat, her eyes still closed. She said helplessly, "Little Ancestor, stop crying. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"Our home is gone, and I have no place to live anymore." Potato cried very sadly, but at this moment he could still secretly open the small gap with his hands and observe the expression of the village chief's wife.
The village chief came out after washing up. With a gloomy face, he said without hesitation, "Even if there's no place to live, what does that have to do with us? You can just fix it up yourselves. Is it worth crying like this?"
The small village was not big to begin with, and there were already quite a few people watching the fun around.
Cheng Yaozu and Cheng Putao were holding hands. The two little guys were crawling quite high. Cheng Er's wife, who was standing next to them, reached out and patted them on the back: "Don't look at other people's fun. You all have to go to class soon. If anyone comes back with another duck egg today, I'll make you eat a duck egg for real!"
When speaking, Cheng Er's wife was obviously a little disappointed with her son.
They are both children raised in similar environments, but Cheng Yaozu is just a little bit worse than Cheng Putao. Even though a lot of changes have been made to help him, he is still bad in some aspects and can never do his homework well.
"Mom, are the duck eggs delicious?" Cheng Yaozu licked his lips and really felt that he could eat them.
In response to his behavior, Cheng Er's wife knocked him on the head without thinking: "Let me treat you to a chestnut first!"
They are all very busy at the moment, but they are also paying attention to this matter.
Grandpa Zhao also treated their illnesses, but some things are hard to talk about openly. I still hope that good people will be rewarded.
"Come with me and you'll know. It's totally uninhabitable!" Potato pulled at the village chief's clothes. With his small body, he seemed to have strength that burst out from nowhere, but he dragged the man along.
When Chen Zhu heard the villagers' discussions, he dropped Zhou Siwei off at the school gate and prepared to ride his bike to check out the situation. Liu Kexin quickly caught up with him and asked, "Shall we go together?"
"Okay, Teacher Liu, thank you for your hard work today. We will be back soon." Chen Zhu waved his hand, with a bit of eagerness in his tone.
She rode her bike and arrived near the cowshed with ease. There were already quite a few people there. Niu Chenggong was standing there with a stern face, and Chen Wantang seemed to be arguing with someone.
"There isn't enough space in our Youth League Home now. Yes, two people have moved out, but I'm just a little girl. There's no need for me to live with them, right?" Shen Wantang pointed at Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, with no disguising the disgust in his tone.
She was unwilling to put herself in a difficult position and live with such an old woman. Who knows if they have any serious illnesses? Maybe they will need her help to take care of them!
Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, who were being pointed at, slowly lowered their heads, a little embarrassed in their eyes, and reached out to pull at their clothes.
Even though they know that they have not had a very good life in recent years, they will still feel inferior when it is exposed by others.
Grandma Zhao used to be a decent person. She loved flowers and plants and would occasionally put on makeup, but now she has become a white-haired old waste.
The village chief had not expected that the cowshed would be destroyed so thoroughly. It was true that they were undergoing labor reform here, but it was not a place for people to live in poverty!
"If you ask me, apart from your Youth League Home, no one else can accommodate the three of them. Everyone's living quarters are already very tight, and it wouldn't be appropriate to separate their family." A villager nearby spoke up to argue for it, but no one mentioned rebuilding the cowshed.
It would be better to abandon this inappropriate existence. It would be a good thing to let Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao live in the village and be taken care of by everyone!
"Who said there isn't one?" Chen Wantang was a little exasperated at first, but when she saw Chen Zhuyi coming over, she wanted to disgust her and quickly said, "Wouldn't it be appropriate to live in her house?"
Although she had never been there to visit, she had heard from others that Chen Wantang's yard was not small, almost as big as the Youth League's courtyard. It would be very convenient for a few more people to live there. The most important thing was that Chen Zhuyi would have to serve these old guys in the future!
