Chapter 181: A Footprint
Zhou Chengye nodded and told Xiao Gaosheng seriously: "Yes, so I don't want them anymore."
He looked at Goldman Sachs and said, "Xiao Sheng, you have to remember that we should love those who love us. As for those who don't love us, we don't want them at all."
Gao Sheng had stopped crying, and Zhou Chengye wiped away the tears on his face. He looked at Uncle Zhou with red eyes: "But, she is my mother."
"No, she is not your mother. The great woman who gave birth to you is your mother." In Zhou Chengye's view, this is a very serious issue.
It must be made clear and let the child know who is the most important to him.
A woman who harmed Xiaosheng's biological mother is not worth Xiaosheng's attention.
Zhou Chengye said: "Xiao Sheng, your biological mother gave birth to you because she loved you very much. Although she is no longer in this world, we cannot erase the traces of her presence and the fact that she loved you."
"You are her greatest value in this world. If even you forget your biological mother, how many people will remember her?"
Song Zhi was not well-received at home, so Song Qin's family dared to manipulate Comrade Song Zhi like this.
Although Zhou Chengye had never met Song Zhi, he felt that she was a poor woman. He sincerely hoped that Gao Sachs could remember his biological mother.
Even if it's just a name, just the identity of mother.
Gao Sheng thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "I understand, Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I won't forget my mother, her name is Song Zhi."
From then on, Song Qin was no longer his mother, but the bad person who killed his mother.
Zhou Chengye then smiled: "Yes, your mother's name is Song Zhi."
He sat with Goldman for a while before the two of them went back. However, on the way back, Goldman acted like a spoiled child and insisted on being carried on Zhou Chengye's back before he was willing to go home.
Zhou Chengye already liked Goldman Sachs, and because he was the nephew of his girlfriend, he loved him even more.
Putting the child on his back, he smiled and said, "Hold on to your neck. I won't take care of you if you fall."
"I've already hugged your neck." Goldman shook his legs and lay quietly on Uncle Zhou's back.
Goldman Sachs used to be very active and chatty, but today it is so quiet.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chengye felt sorry for the child. He patted his butt gently and said softly, "Let's go home and have dinner."
Goldman Sachs hummed in a depressed tone and said, "Go home."
He thought, even if his mother was gone and his father was not around, he still had his aunt, Uncle Zhou, other uncles and aunts at the educated youth site, and home.
As he thought about it, he began to pout again, but he didn't dare to cry.
Zhou Chengye pursed his lips, and strode towards his sister's home with the little guy on his back.
When they got home, Xiaowu and Qingmei had already prepared dinner and were waiting for them.
Zhou Chengye saw the fish, braised pork, vegetables, and bone soup on the table. He smiled and said, "Xiao Sheng, we are in for a treat today."
Under the careful guidance of the three adults, Xiaosheng had recovered from his grief after finishing a meal.
Gao Qingmei suddenly said, "I want to build a house and move out."
Zhou Chengye, Yu Wanqing, and even Little Goldman Sachs all looked at Gao Qingmei.
Why are you looking at me like that?" Gao Qingmei rubbed Goldman's head and said, "Actually, when I decided to keep Goldman, I wanted to build a house."
"I know Ji Qing and the others are taking good care of Xiao Sheng. It's okay for a short time, but we can't cause trouble for others for a long time."
Gao Qingmei smiled and said, "I didn't want to move out before, not because I had no money, but because I thought Yuping and Xiaoyuan had good personalities and we could get along well."
Now that she needs to take care of Goldman Sachs, she needs to have her own house, which will make her food, clothing, housing and transportation much more convenient.
Zhou Chengye nodded: "It's good to move out."
"Where do you want to build the house? I will go to my brother tomorrow, give him the money, and ask him to arrange people to do the work." These are things that my cousin is used to doing, and the old fox has many connections and has his own way to buy materials.
If they try to do it themselves, they will probably run into a wall.
Gao Qingmei smiled and said, "Let's build it next to the Youth House."
"Secretary Zhou said before that he wanted to expand the educated youth camp, but now it seems that this is totally unnecessary. This year, other brigades have new educated youth, but we haven't had any assigned to us. I don't think there will be any educated youth coming here in the next two years."
Zhou Chengye thought that the house next to his sister's was no longer suitable for building a house. If he really wanted to build one, he would have to fill the land, which was too troublesome.
On the contrary, it is on the other side of the educated youth site. The location is good, separated from the educated youth site by a wall. If there is any problem, just shout.
"Then let's build it on the other side, next to the educated youth site." Zhou Chengye asked Gao Qingmei: "How big is the house you plan to build?"
"One living room, three bedrooms, plus a small kitchen and bathroom." She had no shortage of money. The last time her eldest brother came to visit Goldman, he gave her another two hundred dollars.
One hundred was given by my parents, and one hundred was the living expenses given to Xiaosheng by his eldest brother.
Zhou Chengye nodded: "Okay, I understand." Build a living room and three bedrooms, so that he and Qingmei can live here after they get married.
He thought that living together with the people at the educated youth center was a very good thing.
On the contrary, there aren't as many disputes in the educated youth's site as in the village.
The next morning, Zhou Chengye went to find Zhou Ping'an and told him that Gao Qingmei wanted to build a house: "Cousin, I'll leave this matter to you. Just tell me how much money it costs."
Zhou Ping'an laughed and joked: "Did you build the house, or did the educated youth build the house?"
"It's the same. We are dating now and will get married in the future." Zhou Chengye took out ten big wedding photos and said, "Tell me if it's not enough."
Zhou Ping'an nodded: "If it's not enough, I'll fill it up first, and you can give it to me next time you come back."
According to Gao Zhiqing's request, one hundred yuan is definitely not enough.
After talking about building a house, the captain came in from outside. He glanced at Zhou Chengye and asked, "Have you told your parents about your relationship?"
Zhou Chengye shook his head when he heard this: "My father has just been transferred to Guangdong. I want to wait until he settles down before telling them about this."
"You should have told me earlier, for I'm afraid your sister-in-law would have ideas about your marriage." Thinking of Zhou Chengxi's (Cheng Ye's adoptive father's eldest brother) wife, the captain couldn't help but frown.
Zhou Pingan curled his lips when he heard this: "Captain is right. You should tell your parents about this as soon as possible. Your sister-in-law has been keeping an eye on your marriage for a long time. You need to be smarter."
Zhou Chengxi was a capable and well-behaved child, but he had poor taste in choosing a wife. The woman he chose was too strong and looked down on country people.
More importantly, the woman wanted to use the marriage to control the career.
Zhou Chengye smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, my two cousins. Not everyone can interfere in my marriage."
Both his adoptive parents and his biological parents respect his choice. What qualifications does his sister-in-law have to interfere in this matter?
