Zhou Conglin did not tell Lin Shulan why Chen Ziyun came back less than a year after serving his sentence.
But Lin Shulan and Shen Chuning soon found out the reason.
It was said that after Chen Ziyun arrived at the farm, he suffered several serious illnesses in succession and was on the verge of dying.
Although he committed a crime, he was an educated youth sent to the countryside after all. It would be a trouble if he really died on the farm. Besides, his family also had some connections to help him.
Let him return to the grain and oil related area, which is the Cihang Village Brigade.
But since he was already like this, team leader Zhou Conglin and branch secretary Shen Weidong decided that they couldn't let him stay in their team.
If this educated youth died in their brigade, it would not be a big deal for them to write a lot of report materials. The main thing would be that it would affect their brigade's evaluation of advancedness.
Last year, their brigade was just a little bit behind the Three-Drive Brigade and was rated as an advanced brigade. As an advanced brigade, the Three-Drive Brigade was rewarded with a tractor, while their Cihang Village Brigade, as the second-best, got nothing.
This year, not only the brigade cadres but also the members are working hard to win the title of advanced brigade and obtain tractors.
They couldn't let such an educated youth destroy their tractor.
So after Zhou Conglin and Shen Weidong discussed it, they took Chen Ziyun directly to apply for medical retirement and let him return to the city to recuperate.
But these things have nothing to do with Shen Chuning, and she doesn't care at all.
When Shen Chuning, Zhou Ya and Lin Shulan returned home, their two sisters-in-law, Sun Fengjiao and Xia Yue'e, had already discussed and cooked a table of dishes, and called Zhou Yubai and Shen Chuning to eat together tonight.
Shen Chu Ning was getting along pretty well with her two sisters-in-law now, so naturally she didn't refuse.
At the dinner table, Lin Shulan also mentioned that when Shen Chuning was about to give birth, she would go to take care of Shen Chuning's confinement.
Sun Fengjiao's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she subconsciously spoke anxiously, "Mom, you went to Lao San and Ning Ning's place, what should Dad do?"
When Lin Shulan heard this, she knew that the eldest son's wife must have had her old problem again and was planning something in her mind.
He glared at her and said, "Your father is in good health. He can't survive without me, right? Besides, when we two old guys separated, we said we didn't need you to support him for the time being. Are you going to watch your father starve to death or what?"
Sun Fengjiao shrank her neck in response to her mother-in-law's scolding and hid her little thoughts.
She just felt that she must have been pregnant that night, and if her mother-in-law was at home when she gave birth, she would definitely take care of her and the children, just like she did when she gave birth to her first three children.
At that time, she will not only have good food and drink and be well served for a month, but also have three months without having to go to work.
Such treatment is unavailable to any other daughter-in-law in the entire brigade or even the entire commune.
Conditions are limited nowadays, and women usually go to work in the fields three days after giving birth. If you meet a mean mother-in-law, she may even ask you to go to the fields to earn work points the next day after giving birth.
It is hard to find a mother-in-law like Lin Shulan even with a lantern.
But if Lin Shulan went to take care of Shen Chuning's confinement, she might stay there to take care of the baby for Shen Chuning.
If Lin Shulan hadn't come back when she gave birth, she wouldn't have been able to expect to have a good confinement period.
However, she hasn't confirmed that she is pregnant yet, so naturally she doesn't dare to say more.
Zhou Jun rolled his eyes at this time, and quickly continued: "Mom, Third Brother, Sister-in-law, don't worry, my eldest brother and I are at home, and we will definitely take good care of our father."
"By the way, third brother, my sister-in-law is going with you to join the army this time. Does she have to wait for a year or two before coming back, just like you did before?" Zhou Jun asked.
Not to mention Zhou Yubai, even Shen Chuning could see that this second brother, who was always scheming, was also making small calculations.
So neither of them responded.
Zhou Jun continued with a smile and said, "Third brother, you guys just came back after such a long time, your yard can't be left empty for a long time without anyone living in it.
The second brother thought that the Red Army and the People's Army were grown up now, so it would be no problem for them to help look after the house. Otherwise, after you left, he would let the two brothers go to your yard and help you look after the yard at night and clean and tidy up the yard during the day. This house won’t be easily damaged because it’s so popular! ”
Zhou Jun said this in a nice way.
But everyone knew that this time Chen Chuning and Zhou Yubai were going to join the army together. They would only be back for a few days a year. Even after another twenty or thirty years, when their parents passed away, they might not come back.
Zhou Hongjun and Zhou Minjun have lived in that yard since they were young. Isn't it natural that the yard should be theirs in the end?
“Bang!”
Zhou Yubai glanced at Zhou Jun indifferently with deep eyes. Before he could say anything, Lin Shulan had already slammed her chopsticks on the table.
"Zhou Lao Er, do you think you are the smartest person in the world? Are all the others stupid? You want to occupy Lao San's house and you say it so nicely. Lao San deserves to be sold out by you and help you count the money, right?"
Zhou Jun didn't expect that his own mother would be so disrespectful to him and would directly sabotage him in front of so many people.
His face suddenly looked a little embarrassed, "Mom, I...I didn't mean that..."
Lin Shulan snorted coldly, her eyes swept over the eldest and second oldest couples, "I don't care what you mean!
I'm telling you, this family has been divided. The third brother's things belong to the third brother. As long as the third brother doesn't ask for them, neither of you should even think about them!
As long as I live, I won’t allow that! ”
With these two little episodes, this meal was naturally not as pleasant as the last time Shen Chuning and the others treated us.
After finishing their meal, the family did not stay to chat. Zhou Yubai and Shen Chuning went back to their yard to pack up their things, and Lin Shulan and Zhou Ya also went to help.
Shen Chuning wanted to pack her own things, but she had no choice. Not only did Zhou Yubai not let her do it, but even Lin Shulan and Zhou Ya did not let her do it.
She could only stand by and peel oranges and eat them as a supervisor.
On the other side, in the Zhou family’s yard, the couple from the first wife and the couple from the second wife were locked in their rooms talking.
Zhou Jiakang was complaining to Sun Fengjiao, "Look at you, the third brother and his wife are leaving, and Mom is reluctant to let them go. She is already unhappy, but you insist on walking into their trap.
Dad is alone at home, so the worst that can happen is that we can just add an extra set of bowls and chopsticks when we eat. Dad won’t eat or drink from us for free anyway. ”
Sun Fengjiao knew her man well, and also knew about his own concerns. She couldn't talk to him at all, so she just glared at him and said, "You know shit, I'm too lazy to talk to you."
"Okay, okay, I don't understand and I won't tell you. Just go and let your mother scold you, and then you'll feel better." Zhou Jiakang looked like he was giving in to Sun Fengjiao, but what he said was particularly infuriating.
On the other hand, the situation in the second room was the opposite.
